The Village Doctress Chapter 842: The Last Struggle (2)
Huangfu Mu was silent, then nodded to her, "Well, I'm tired too, let Ah Jing tidy up a room and let me rest."
The corners of Lin Fufu's lips twitched coldly, and asked Ah Jing who was guarding outside: "Did you hear me?"
Ah Jing hurriedly promised to do it, and Lin Fufu didn't stay in her dormitory anymore.
I have to say that Huangfu Mu is quite polite in this respect, after she expressed dislike for him trespassing into her dormitory once, he basically never trespassed again.
This time, he also watched her leave helplessly, without any further words or actions.
A Jing went to help Huangfu Mu clean up the house, and A Mei followed Lin Fufu.
After all, it was the friendship that grew up with Huangfu Mu. For Lin Fufu being so unreasonable, Amei secretly felt sorry for her master, and a little bit of it appeared on her face.
But she suffered a disadvantage last time, after all, she dared not say anything more.
Lin Fufu was in a good mood. Seeing her tense little face and displeased expression, he asked, "Why, why are you not fair for your master?"
A Mei was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that the heavenly master who always ignored her would take the initiative to talk to her this time.
Seeing her raising her head in a daze, with her lips parted slightly, Lin Fufu smiled in a good mood.
Amei was even more stunned, but seeing the smile on the master's face, she felt even more aggrieved. The master lost... lost to Prince Jin, is she so happy?
Clenching her fist tightly, Amei finally said, "Master Tiangui, the voodoo on your body seems to be getting stronger... After all, you still want to be with our Majesty, you can take care of yourself." Talk to him..."
Amei spoke cautiously, but seeing Lin Fufu curling his lips and looking at her with a half-smile, the words behind her were silenced.
"My lord, it's the slaves talking too much!" Seeing that Lin Fufu didn't speak again for a long time, Amei felt a little uneasy.
Lin Fufu waved his hand, "I know you are loyal to your master, so I will inevitably speak for him. I don't blame you."
Speaking of which, Lin Fufu would like to thank her, if not for her faithful protection of the Lord, some things would not be easy to accomplish.
A Mei did not expect Lin Fufu to change his temperament, and she was very suspicious.
Lin Fufu didn't bother to talk to her anymore.
She had already discussed with Tianyi, but this day finally came as she expected.
Early in the morning of the second day, Huangfu Mu went to court.
Seeing that Huangfu Mu had returned to the imperial city well and soundly, the ruling and opposition parties shouted long live, but their hearts were extremely complicated.
Your Majesty has lost, and it's not a big deal to lose a million troops at Loushan Pass.
Your Majesty has fled back to the imperial city, but his millions of troops who escaped from Loushan Pass can only surrender to Prince Jin. What a humiliation is this?
But Huangfu Mu didn't take it seriously.
It was as if he had not been defeated at all, nor had he escaped back at all.
Besides, seeing that the courtiers had nothing to report, he announced a major event that shocked the courtiers. He wanted to hold a grand empress ceremony on the 28th of this month.
The twenty-eighth day of this month is three days away...
If it was before, the courtiers would naturally object and persuade.
Even if Huangfu Mu wins Huangfu Jin's victory and returns to the dynasty, they will oppose and persuade...
But in this situation, the courtiers didn't know what to say.
After Huangfu Jin's army broke through the Loushan pass, they must have marched north to the imperial city. How many days will His Majesty be able to sit firmly on the throne?
Huangfu Mu couldn't help sneering secretly when he saw that the ministers and dignitaries who had fiercely opposed his succession were now silent.
In the past, when Huangfu Jin didn't rebel against the army, these old people were afraid that he would really make Lin Fujin, the Princess of Wei, as his queen, and everyone wanted to send their noble daughter to the palace.
Now that he is defeated, he keeps silent, for fear of sending the noble daughter of their family into his harem to ruin it...
However, how could he make these old things easy for them?
"My dear friends, this time I'm not only thinking about the Empress Dowager, the fourth concubine and several beauties should be sealed at once." Huangfu Mu looked down at the court with a smile, but scared the ministers and dignitaries enough. .
Although at the beginning they all scolded Huangfu Jin in their hearts for rebellion, but now seeing Huangfu Jin's victory and Huangfu Mu fleeing back to the imperial city in desperation, their thoughts are the same again.
No one can guarantee whether Beirong Jiangshan will change hands again this year, so the noble daughter in the family should wait for a while to look after herself.
If it is true that Huangfu Jin snatched the Beirong country back, then it will not be too late to send the noble daughters of the family to the palace.
As a result, all the ministers and dignitaries went up to resign, using the excuse that they could clearly see the new emperor's sincere affection for the future empress, and did not want to let their own daughter-in-law enter the palace to affect the empress' feelings.
There are also cunning ones, and they put it more tactfully, saying that if the queen feels that she wants to spread branches and leaves for the royal family in the future, and take the initiative to enter the palace for her majesty, then she will talk about it.
Huangfu Mu didn't know if it was possible, but he didn't mention the matter of choosing a concubine anymore, and the courtiers felt more at ease, feeling that they had escaped a catastrophe today.
In this way, after Huangfu Mu announced the official day of the queen's appointment, there was no objection in the Beirong court, but they were full of praise for Lin Gospel...
After Huangfu Mu came down to court, he did not leave the Golden Luan Hall first, but just looked at the ministers who filed out and sneered.
"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that the courtiers have no objection to your appointment." The leader of the dark guard said to Huangfu Mu after seeing that the courtiers had receded like a tide.
Huangfu Mu sneered several times, "That's right, it's a good thing! It's an excellent thing!"
Knowing that his master was in a bad mood, the leader of the dark guard fell silent and didn't dare to speak out.
Huangfu Mu seemed to be muttering to himself, "Didn't Huangfu Jin win the widow? The widow will let him lose the battle he least wants to lose!"
Hearing the words of his master, the leader of the dark guard jumped in his heart.
Didn't the master sincerely want to take advantage of the opportunity when all the officials no longer objected to make the heavenly noble master the queen?
But he also thought about it, and then took the initiative to kill this idea. The master's affairs are not something that a slave can worry about.
Besides, he has been with this master for so long, and he never knew what he really thought in his heart.
"Let's go, let's go to the imperial study, I still have a lot of things to tell you to do." After Huangfu Mu came back to his senses, he became that gentle and beautiful man again.
The leader of the dark guard hurriedly responded, and accompanied Huangfu Mu to the imperial study.
As soon as they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Huangfu Mu said: "Today, on the one hand, the widows are notifying them of the official day of the empress ceremony, and on the other hand, they are also testing their attitude towards the defeat of the widow at the hands of Huangfu Jin. You can see it today Already?"
The leader of the dark guards replied in a low voice: "The slaves have seen it, those gangs are old foxes who watch people cook!"
There was anger and disdain in his tone, but Huangfu Mu laughed deeply.
"What's there to be angry about? If the widow and Huangfu Jin were replaced today, those old things would still be the same, so there's no need to really care about them. But since they are so snobbish, the widow really doesn't like it." Huangfu Mu smiled darkly.
The leader of the dark guards shuddered, knowing that his gentle master was actually more angry than him, and he was about to take revenge!
But he didn't sympathize with those old foxes who watched people order dishes, and even applauded in his heart.
"What does master want to do?" the leader of the dark guard asked in a low voice, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Huangfu Mu glanced at him indifferently, and didn't make a sound immediately, but sat down and sipped his tea.
After a long time, just as the leader of the dark guards waited and became more and more frightened, Huangfu Mu said calmly, but talked about more urgent matters, "Huangfu Jin has nearly two million troops, and it will only be a matter of time before he breaks the Loushan Pass." After that, he naturally sent his army to attack the imperial city..."
Speaking of this, Huangfu Mu's fists slowly clenched, but he stopped talking.
The leader of the dark guard hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, maybe he didn't dare, isn't he afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world? He took the initiative to give up the throne before, and now he wants to go back? How can it be so easy?" Things?"
Huangfu Mu gave him a dark look at the leader of the secret guard, and said with a sneer: "He, Huangfu Jin, is not afraid of anything difficult to block the mouth of the world, if he is afraid, he will dare to rebel?"
The leader of the dark guard bowed his head and remained silent.
But when he thought of the words she said to him when he met Miss A Jing that day, he felt as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing on him...
"Just say what you have to say. What else can't you say now?" Huangfu Mu sighed in his heart. He has cultivated first-class loyal talents over the years, just like the one in front of him. It's a pity. They are not people with great wisdom, and they can't help him much in important matters...
After listening to the words of the master, the leader of the dark guards closed his eyes and said in a ruthless hurry: "Actually, I have one thing in my mind. Maybe I want to betray the king because I just want to take back the heavenly master, not because I want to fight." Rebellious..."
"Is this stupid thing you're thinking about? Don't you think that if I return your heavenly master to him, he will retreat?" Huangfu Mu smiled deeply, but did not punish the leader of the hidden guards. .
Although he was not punished, the leader of the dark guard did not dare to say anything anymore, but his attitude was actually a tacit consent.
"Until the last step, it's not clear who will win. Are you worried that the widow will definitely lose?" Huangfu Mu's laughter became more and more cold and terrifying.
The leader of the dark guard became anxious now, knocked his head so loudly that he stuttered so anxiously.
"Forget it, you have been with the widow since you were a child. How can you not know what kind of temperament you are? Don't think about what you have." Huangfu Mu's voice became colder, "The imperial city is good, the people who live in it There are so many dignitaries and ministers, now you send someone down, and I want you to tie up and imprison the most valued sons and grandsons of all the ministers above the seventh rank in Beijing. The last person was found by Huangfu Jin's people The rescue is gone, this time we must be foolproof!"
The leader of the dark guards responded immediately, and Fuzhi immediately understood what Huangfumu meant.
Don't those old things want to wait and see at this juncture? That would force them to support His Majesty!
"Your Majesty, don't worry, these servants are used to doing this! Last time, if there wasn't a ghost who passed on the news, the rebellious king would never have been able to find anyone. This time, the servant is watching in person and using his head to guarantee that nothing will happen!" A firm guarantee from the leader of the dark guards.
Huangfu Mu waved his hand, "Don't say these things are there or not. The widow just sees that they are reluctant to part with their daughter-in-law. Since they don't want to part with the daughter-in-law, let's let go of someone they value more."
The leader of the dark guard answered in a low voice.
No matter what His Majesty means, as long as it can benefit His Majesty.
"Also, the grand ceremony is about to start, you send people to decorate the imperial city, and quickly arrange the dowry of your noble master, and strive to do the best, just like the queen's wedding ceremony Add another 50% to the dowry!" Huangfu Mu ordered.
The leader of the dark guards was surprised, the first empress was Huangfujin's mother, the most favored princess of Lou Xiaobu, the dowry was incalculable when she married the first emperor...
"What's the problem?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Huangfu Mu frowned.
He has been operating secretly for these years, and he has quite a lot of savings in his hands. Could it be that he still can't afford to marry a queen?
"Your Majesty does have a lot of good things in his private treasury, but the Empress... At that time, Lou Xiaobu almost used up all the married daughters of a tribe, so there are countless good things..."
Speaking of it, I'm afraid that Huangfumu's little possessions are not enough to look at.
"Then open the late emperor's private treasury." Huangfu Mu said without even thinking about it, anyway, the late emperor's private treasury is his now, so it is justified for him to open the late emperor's private treasury to add a dowry to Gospel.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor used all the good things of the late empress..."
The implication is that there are not many good things in the late emperor's private treasury.
Huangfumu laughed angrily, "Why, you mean that the widow can't afford to marry a queen now?"
The leader of the dark guards didn't dare to talk, and said with a bitter face: "It's not that your majesty can't afford to marry, it's that your majesty wants to add 50% of the former queen's dowry... It's really embarrassing!"
Huangfu Mu was silent for a while.
"Then only add 30%!" Finally, he made up his mind, but his face was ugly.
The leader of the dark guard felt that his master's mood was fluctuating, and his heart was pounding. He really didn't dare to say that 30% would not work...
So I just knelt on the ground and remained silent.
Huangfu smashed the teacup with the lid on the head of the leader of the hidden guards in a muscular manner, "Don't tell me, even adding 30% is not enough!"
The leader of the dark guards endured the teacup that Huangfu Mu threw at him, his head was already hit in a big bag, but he didn't dare to hum.
With a mournful face, he turned his heart to one side, and then lay on his limbs on the ground, about to cry, "Your Majesty, this slave is in charge of your private treasury, and I have also checked the late emperor's private treasury. The queen’s dowry is all forced! What’s more... Now we have to conquer the rebellious king, and we can’t use the treasury..."
"Why can't the treasury be used!" Huangfu Mu stared at him coldly, "Are you still counting on the money bags from the Ministry of War to stop Huangfu Jin's army?"
The leader of the dark guards trembled, did His Majesty plan to take advantage of the treasury in order to marry the heavenly master?
This... this is really crazy!
"Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate to use the treasury, I will..."
