Chapter 41
Back at Zichen Palace, Xianglin immediately asked when she heard about this matter, "Did your majesty agree to Mu Tiannan's request?"

"Scared me with such a fuss!" Gu Qinghua lightly patted his chest and smiled, comforting her, "Don't worry, Mu Tiannan is the adopted son of old thief Mu, and it's said that he doesn't get along well with that guy Mu Zhen. Now that he has entered the palace again to become my imperial husband, he may not still be of the same mind with the Mu family. Besides, these days, I think he has been doing his duty honestly. It may not be because of the intention of showing favor to us and giving him this As for the position, firstly, you can test him, and secondly, you can also test old thief Mu, I want to see how he chooses in his heart! If he turns his back, it may not be useless to us!"

Xianglin was speechless for a while after listening to her.Everything Gu Qinghua said made sense, but Mu Tiannan's shadow flashed in her mind, and she always felt that something was wrong.As for where, she couldn't tell.

"No matter what, he is always a member of the Mu family," Xiang Lin shook her head lightly, and said calmly, "Your Majesty is right, but my slaves don't agree with you. Besides, what Your Majesty said, we thought of it Well, that old thief Mu might not have thought of it, might not have thought of a way to prevent and deal with it in advance, and Namu Tiannan was raised by old thief Mu after all, so it might not be that he didn't have a fatal spot in the hands of old thief Mu, even if he wanted to Betrayal of the old thief Mu will never come so fast! Your Majesty, it is better to be careful! If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game. The slaves can't afford to lose, and your majesty can't afford to lose either!"

Xianglin said Bibi's eyes darkened, and the pain and regret of losing everything if one step is wrong, who else can understand it more deeply than her?

"Your analysis is right!" Gu Qinghua couldn't help hesitating in his heart, his face was dazed.Since Mu Hongru dared to put Mu Tiannan by his side, he must have a way to control him.Mu Tiannan is a kite, and the string holding the kite must be tightly held in Mu Hongru's hands. If Mu Tiannan wants to break free from this string, he cannot do it in a day or two.

"It's just that the words have already been spoken, so we have to do this first." Gu Qinghua settled down, forced a smile, comforted Xianglin and comforted himself at the same time, and said: "I will call Shao Qing, Lin Zhi, Xiao Yan and others to stare at each other. Watch him and see what tricks he's up to!"

Xianglin suddenly took a breath with a "hiss", her face changed slightly, she stomped her feet and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have been fooled by that Mu Tiannan this time! Lin Zhi and Xiao Yan may not be able to control him, if he leads Shao Qing may not have the energy and experience to handle the job of the Habayashi Army!"

"Why!" Gu Qinghua's eyes widened.

Xiang Lin stumbled, and said anxiously: "Although your Majesty said that Mu Tiannan should be a small leader of the Habayashi Army, after all, Mu Tiannan is the husband of the emperor, and it is related to the prestige of the Tian family. If he wants to serve in the Habayashi Army, at least It should also be the deputy commander, and even the great commander can't care about him as the deputy commander, Your Majesty, what should I do!"

"This—" Gu Qinghua was stunned for a moment.Well, the limitations of the times are there, and the differences in thinking are also there. Regarding this issue, if Xianglin hadn't mentioned it at this moment, she would never have thought of it!The prestige of the Tian family can't be eaten, but, as the emperor, she can't take the lead in destroying it, right?Then what kind of majesty will she have to rule over her subordinates in the future?

This is a big hassle!

Gu Qinghua couldn't help having a headache, looked at Xianglin for a while, speechless, and felt a little annoyed!
"People from the Mu family, hum!" Gu Qinghua stomped his feet and gritted his teeth.At this time, she believed that Mu Tiannan probably planned it long ago, and set a trap for her, she is still dreaming!
Seeing her like this, Xianglin couldn't say anything, so she reassured her: "The matter has come to this, and His Majesty doesn't need to blame himself, so I will give him the post of deputy commander, just wait and see!"

Gu Qinghua was extremely frustrated. Mu Tiannan was so scheming. After becoming the deputy commander, he bought people's hearts and planted his confidantes. Isn't power wasted again?However, the words have been said in person, Shao Qing is also there, Ge Shuyu is also there, and the house is full of women. As the emperor, how can she tell her to talk back?
"It has to be like this!" Gu Qinghua sighed.She couldn't help gritting her teeth: If only this damned Mu Tiannan was as foolish as Mu Zhen!

Less than a month after Mu Tiannan became the deputy commander of the Habayashi Army, Yu Li, the original commander of the Habayashi Army, reported to Ding You. The reason was that his father, who was originally from Shanxi, passed away.He is a member of Mu Hongru's faction, and Lin Zhi and the others have fought openly and secretly for several rounds. Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Qinghua was eager to play, and immediately gave him a reward, and ordered him to hand over and go home.

At this time, Gu Qinghua and Xianglin could easily understand why Mu Tiannan would seek the post of deputy commander of the Yulin Army, most likely to succeed Yu Li's power.

Obviously, Mu Tiannan already knew about Yu Li's imminent resignation of Ding You.

Gu Qinghua couldn't help worrying secretly: With such strict defenses, they can still communicate with each other inside and out. If the Yulin army is infiltrated by Mu Tiannan, what will happen? There is also the same problem in the palace. .And what made her feel aggrieved the most was that she was actually confused by the appearance, thinking that Mu Tiannan was a good person!Hum, good man!
Xianglin in turn comforted Gu Qinghua, at least now that she knew about their secret tricks, but it was better to take precautions early than not to know anything!Wouldn't this be considered rewarding!

Gu Qinghua smiled, gritted his teeth and said, "You're right! Just wait, if there is a chance to deal with him, I will never be relentless!"

Gu Qinghua is very fortunate, her luck is really great!Mu Tiannan got into trouble less than 20 days after taking office, which also gave Gu Qinghua an excuse to deal with him.

I don't know if it's Mu Tiannan's bad luck, or the current thieves are too bold, there are assassins appearing in the palace one after another, and the eunuchs and maids are so frightened that they dare not even come out at night.Except for Zichen Palace, Mu Tiannan was almost involved in the security and defense of the other palaces, and this matter was naturally inseparable from him.

Gu Qinghua was so angry that he gave Mu Tiannan an ultimatum again and again. If this kind of thing happened again within five days, the deputy commander of the Habayashi Army would not do it anymore. Go back and study behind closed doors!
Mu Tiannan was extremely angry, but he had no choice but to accept orders, and returned to Xingqing Palace, worried and glaring.

"Second Master, forget it, maybe this is a trap set by His Majesty to force you to give up the position of deputy commander. After all, Your Majesty and our prince are incompatible, so I feel that you still—" Mu Tiannan said The confidant eunuch Wen Lian who came into the palace couldn't help persuading.

Mu Tiannan pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "This is too obvious and risky, I don't think it's His Majesty's doing—" He sneered, and continued: "However, it will never be true Assassin. I am also wondering, who is behind this!"

Didn't he know that Gu Qinghua was afraid of him?And the reason why he took the opportunity to seek the position of deputy commander is just as guessed by Gu Qinghua and Xianglin, but this is only temporary. Once the king of politics finds a suitable candidate, he will naturally find a way to promote that person, and he can also succeed backed away.Therefore, for the past twenty days, for fear that Gu Qinghua would catch him, he did not do anything, because he knew that Gu Qinghua was waiting for the opportunity to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, such a mysterious person somehow appeared, and the assassin made trouble every day, causing him to be shot while lying down.

Wen Lian was taken aback, and whispered softly, feeling a little anxious: "Second Young Master, what should we do?"

Mu Tiannan stared straight ahead, sneered for a while and said, "I don't believe it, this man has three heads and six arms! Look at this, this man is very familiar with the palace, if my guess is right, he probably belongs to someone from the palace. Hands and feet. Just wait and see, His Majesty ordered me to die. If this person is really a member of the palace, he must know the news. In order to prove my incompetence, this person will make trouble again no matter what. Hmph, When the time comes, I don't believe that he won't show his original shape!"

Hearing what he said with confidence, Wen Lian couldn't help feeling relieved, his confidence increased greatly, and he straightened his figure, and hurriedly said: "Second Lord has always been very scheming, and since Second Master has an idea, it must be good! Second Master, I don’t know how to serve you if you need a slave?”

Mu Tiannan turned his head to give him a faint smile, looked up and said: "You take care of the people below, and be on standby at any time!"

"Yes, Second Master!" Wen Lian agreed crisply.

What Mu Tiannan expected was right. Two days later, at night, the two court ladies met an assassin again when they passed the long north-south Yongxiang. A little maid came across.The two little maids screamed in fright, the assassin had no choice but to capture the two of them, but he only had time to stun one, and the other was already screaming and running forward like crazy, not a moment later attracted A large group of guards patrolling, the assassin had no choice but to disappear into the vast night in a blink of an eye, not knowing where to hide in the palace wall or among the flowers and trees.

This time, Mu Tiannan didn't send anyone to search around, but he had already obtained Shao Qing's order to recruit the guards who were ambushing in the dark, and at the same time sealed off all the palaces including Beiyuan Lenggong, Shanggong Bureau, Huanyi Bureau, etc. The inner courtyard is brightly lit and tightly surrounded. It is divided into three roads with Shao Qing and Wen Lian, and the rosters of each palace are checked one by one.

This Mu Tiannan didn't know what kind of wind he was having, and he didn't know how to be eloquent, so that the upright Shao Qing agreed to start counting the number of people from Kunning Palace, followed by his Longmei Palace and Su Jun's Chengqing. Gong and Ge Shuyu's Xingqing Palace.

Ge Shuyu thought that he was taking the opportunity to show off and suppress himself, and because he was inconvenient to object at the beginning because he was the emperor's husband, he had a long black face, so he was very unhappy and let him check according to the roster. He snapped a few words sourly.Mu Tiannan ignored him and continued to lead the people to the next house.

Unexpectedly, after being so busy until midnight, when the three of them met again in Kunning Palace, they found nothing!
Mu Tiannan was dumbfounded and expressed disbelief, and asked Shao Qing and Wen Lian several times: "As expected, every palace room has been checked? No one was left behind?"
