Chapter 365

Along with this proclamation read out by the inner prison, there is another edict of amnesty.

In this imperial edict, Wei Shi bestowed on Mu Yunge various privileges, including commanding the inner palace, exempting from kneeling, and participating in state affairs in the upper court, etc., which should have and never have been.

This special edict was issued to Mu Yunge, in addition to the phoenix seal, there was also a special honor for the Mu family.

Mu Zhizhao was originally the Marquis of Changyi, and this title was promoted to Duke of the First Rank, and changed to Duke of Ping, and the Mu family inherited the title forever; Mu Jinran was the son of the Duke of Ping; the Xiao family was originally a descendant of a famous family, and was promoted to the title of First Rank. Madam, the title of "Wan" is specially given, and she is called Mrs. Wan; Mu Yunge's two younger siblings, Mu Yuanhuan and Mu Yuanxing, who are still in their infancy, have also been rewarded.
This edict is the first edict issued by Wei Shi since he ascended the throne. It undoubtedly tells the world that the woman next to Wei Shi is the same person as the new emperor!
There was no dynasty or generation in the Eastern Wei Dynasty that had queens who personally participated in state affairs while the emperor was still alive. Wei Shixu gave it to Mu Yunge, and they all did it one by one!
It was also from this moment that the court of the Eastern Wei Dynasty opened a new chapter. Women can take part in the imperial examination, and after many years of entering the court as an official, it has become a matter of course for the people of the Eastern Wei Dynasty...

Wei Shi's second proclamation was about war.On his first day in the new dynasty, he agreed to Nangong Jin's request, and the matter of food and payment was supervised by Mu Zhizhao and Da Sima, and sent to the northwest at a certain date.

At the same time, when the Southern Chu War Report arrived in the capital, Duan Rongxuan marched towards Luyuan County again after a short rest for a few days.Lin Yi planned to abandon Luyuan, the prefecture of Luyuan County, and instead sent troops to retreat to Nanning, an important food and grass town, using the dangerous natural moat as a barrier, using defense as an offense, and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

After Wei Shi agreed to Lin Yi's request, he announced at the court that in a few days, he would go south to compete with the tiger and wolf division of Southern Chu.

This remark immediately aroused the worries of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the waves of opposition were louder and louder.

At this time, Mu Yunge once again showed her courage that was no less than that of a man. In the court, she wore a phoenix robe, fought with the Confucian scholars, and strived to conquer herself, and finally won the chance to fight for Wei Shi.

After that, it was agreed on the follow-up affairs of the personal conquest.

After Wei Shi left, who would guard the capital and maintain the stability and security of the capital?Who will do a good job in logistics support is the safest?Who will be in charge of appeasing the uneasiness that pervades the country?
All the civil and military officials in the court quarreled together, amidst the commotion, impetuousness was full of it, tyranny gradually grew, and there were bad words towards each other.

"Pei Guogong." Wei Shi listened for a long time, and when everyone was noisy, he slowly raised his hand to signal the ministers to be quiet. What do you think?"

Pei Yongtu was still the head of the civil servants. After Wei Shi ascended the throne, he did not immediately pull him down to the throne of a courtier. The delay in disposing of the situation made Pei Yongtu awkward. When he saw Wei Shi every day, he was worried every day and walked on thin ice. Desperate.The courtiers were noisy, but he never said a word.

At this time, Wei Shi suddenly called him by name, and Pei Yongtu was a little stunned.He raised his head, his rapidly aging face was dazed for a moment, and when he walked out sideways holding the jade wat, he still seemed a little embarrassed.

However, he was still able to suppress the surprise in his heart, and adjusted his emotions slightly, not wanting to let Wei Shi's slightest handle fall into Wei Shi's hands and become the cause of his attack.

In terms of the control and understanding of the affairs of the court, no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty can match it.Pei Yongtu is the Duke of the state, holds an important position, has been in politics for many years, and knows everything about the shortcomings of the court; he knows everything about the way of employing people and the deployment of personnel, and he is truly a talent that can be used to great advantage.When Pei Yongtu was young, he also used to show his strength in the court and convinced the officials.Emperor Wu has been in power for so many years, Emperor Wu has been very suspicious, and the people of the court are impetuous, but he can still maintain a basic balance, so that the Quartet does not dare to easily attack, Pei Yongtu has made great contributions.

How could such a person not have his own opinion in the debate just now?
Now that Wei Shi asked, he poured out the words he had just heard when he was listening to the government: "I think that when it comes to understanding the Southern Chu army, no one in the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty can compare with Your Majesty. Your Majesty's personal expedition, a total of four Some benefits."

"Which four o'clock?" Wei Shi asked with a smile.

Pei Yongtu then said: "First, Your Majesty knows yourself and the enemy well, and has led the army for many years with rich experience. If your majesty goes to war personally, our army will have a [-]% chance of winning. It is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Wei army to go out in person. Such a momentum is comparable, and our army has a [-]% chance of winning; third, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. Those who exercise power will not dare to act arbitrarily. In this way, the odds of winning have increased by [-]%. You should dare to be the first in the world and walk in front of the soldiers, so that you can unite with the same enemy. In this way, our army's chances of winning have increased by three points. With a [-]-point chance of winning, against a group of troops traveling long distances, why worry about the enemy The army is invincible? The strong enemy is not destroyed? Your Majesty asked about the affairs of the court, in the eyes of the minister, that is the simplest thing. As long as we all work together, civil and military, what can't be done?"

A few words filled the audience with excitement, and everyone nodded subconsciously, their chests filled with unprecedented confidence.

Wei Shi wanted this result, and everyone looked at him enthusiastically, so he pulled Mu Yunge up slowly from the dragon chair, and pulled out the saber hanging beside the dragon chair.

The sword pointed to the sky, and Wei Shi made the final decision loudly: "I have decided to go to the south to fight against Chu. If I don't destroy the enemy, it will be so useless!"

As he said that, with a slight flick of his wrist, the saber flew out and went straight through the Zhengda Guangming Hall, cutting the plain flagpole in front of the hall in two with one sword.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone knelt down, kneeling at his feet in complete convincing, looking at the young emperor with ardent eyes.

Mu Yunge stood shoulder to shoulder with him, tightly holding onto his sleeves, and also looked at Wei Shi enthusiastically.

Wei Shi squeezed her hand, and the two of them smiled similarly, and then they heard Wei Shi continue to say: "My Royal Conqueror personally marches, and the Empress has full power to preside over the affairs of Beijing and China. Duke Pei, Duke Ping, and Wang Jian, you three must do your best to assist, never A little mistake is allowed!"

When Pei Yongtu suddenly heard such an arrangement, his eyes widened in shock. Instead of accepting the order to thank him, he asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty means..."

Standing in the main hall of Zhengda Guangming Hall, Wei Shi deliberately pulled Mu Yunge off the dragon chair and walked up to him. Suddenly, the two made a deep salute together, straightened their waists, and Wei Shi said: "Pei Guogong, You are my uncle, and I believe in your ability and standard in court affairs. This time it is about my world, so I can only count on you!"

"Minister, I'm ashamed!" Pei Yongtu was flattered, the emperor and empress saluted him personally, he could only return with an even greater salute, lifted up his clothes, knelt on the ground with his forehead on the ground, and kowtowed deeply : "Minister, lead the decree!"

Wei Shi's decision immediately set off another huge wave.

This is the open-mindedness and honesty that an emperor should have. Wei Shi didn't know that this insignificant ceremony between him and Mu Yunge calmed down the uneasy mood of the civil and military officials of the whole court just as the two bowed down. From this moment on, how many important officials of the imperial court who were left or right in the party struggle knew that Wei Shi was different, knew that he was seeking his own government in his position, and cut off everyone invisibly, or felt anxious or flattered Flattery, or a confused mind.

The veterans feel at ease, and the new ministers are full of expectations. The Eastern Wei Dynasty is in the midst of a national crisis, but everyone is like nectar, suddenly reborn!

Now that the royal conquest has been decided, naturally there can be no further delays. The imperial court's decree followed one after another, and soon spread throughout the world like a spring breeze.

In mid-July, Kyoto has entered the hottest period of the year, but no matter how hot the weather is, it can't match the burning blood in people's hearts.

After swearing blood on the Temple of Heaven, Wei Shi tightly held Mu Yunge's hand. In front of the officials, he held Mu Yunge tightly and refused to let go. He made no secret of his love for the person in his arms. favorite.

"Yun Ge, I should have taken you with me, but Beijing is not stable, and I need you to sit in charge." Wei Shi said apologetically in her ear, and kissed her earlobe: "I didn't do what I promised you. , will you blame me?"

"No." Mu Yunge shook his head, holding his clothes tightly with both hands: "As long as you come back safely, I have nothing to ask for! I... no matter how long, I will wait for you!"

He had always stood by her side when she needed her, and now, it was his turn to need her, how could she abandon him for the sake of her ego?Country, country, without a country, where is home?However, the only thing she was afraid of was that she had been waiting for a long time, and she only hoped that Wei Shi would come back sooner!
Wei Shi nodded heavily, without making too many promises, he whispered: "When I come back, I will bring you a gift. What do you want?"

"I heard that there are many stalagmites in Luyuan County, they are very beautiful. When you come back triumphantly, find one for me." Mu Yunge couldn't bear to disobey him, and said with a smile.

Wei Shi seemed to have received a holy order, and secretly remembered it in his heart.

The army marched out of Luyuan County, and what was left was an empty city in Kyoto.Mu Yunge sits in the capital, and still goes to the court to listen to the government every day, which is no different from when Wei Shi was in the capital.It's just that at night, she had one more thing to do, which was to open Wei Shi's letters.

The contents of these letters are sometimes trivial and sometimes thrilling, but one letter per day has never stopped. Every time Mu Yunge receives these letters, he can feel the sweetness and excitement in his heart, but what is deeper... is the bitterness that is getting deeper and deeper and guilt.

Wei Shi had been away for nearly three months, and good news came to the capital again and again, but Mu Yunge's reply became more and more concise.

From the time when Wei Shan died, Mu Yunge always felt lack of spirit from time to time, forced himself to go to court, and fell into a coma several times when he returned to the central palace.In the third month, sometimes he even fell into a coma until the next day, so Peiying could only send a message to the courtiers that he would be exempted from court today.

Mu Yunge vaguely guessed that the ending he least wanted to face might be approaching...
