Chapter 1694

Peace talks!

After Zhu Qizhen calmed down, such an idea flashed through his mind.

That is to say, we can't beat it. It's better to hold peace talks while he still has at least some strength. It's always better than the other party's peace talks under his own Kyoto.

At this time, Zhuqi town was still dreaming of his emperor. In his opinion, it's good to lose a few provinces. After his "efforts", hasn't he lost half of Daming? Although it is called Beiming, it has long been regarded as an alien by him. Now it's just losing half of its territory. Why not. As long as he is still the emperor, he can make a comeback under hard work, can't he?

As long as there is hope, he will fight for it. Mu Mu and Zhou Ziang met Zhuqi town under such circumstances.

When Xie Chong was in the red inlaid City, he was interviewed by Yang Chendong alone. As for what he was talking about, no one knows. He has long been distrusted by Zhu Qi town and is now locked up in the prison of Fu Si prison in Jinyi Town, royal guards. Now everything in the ritual department is replaced by Zhou Ziang. However, his loyalty has yet to be identified, so he has not accepted the post of Shangshu.

In front of the two, Zhu Qizhen tentatively said his ideas. He finally said, "I made this bad decision because I took into account the safety of the people and didn't want them to suffer from the war. If King Wunan had to come to Kyoto, I would burn jade and stone."

Obviously, Zhu Qizhen still wanted face. At the end, he hardened a little and expressed that he was an unyielding man.

In fact, in history, Zhuqi town still had some abilities. Even when he became a prisoner of the former leader of the warla department, he also showed great propriety and tenacity. Of course, it's just recorded in historical books. No one knows whether it was written under the sign of Zhu Qizhen, who later became the emperor.

After hearing these words, Zhou Ziang carefully raised his head, "tell the emperor that the minister has low qualifications. Would you like to invite Xie Shangshu to preside over such a big event?"

"Is there a problem with Xie Chong? It's still under investigation now. You can't let it out. Why, Zhou Aiqing, do you have no confidence in your ability? Or do you don't want to share your worries for me and Daming?"

Seeing that Zhuqi town was going to be angry, Zhou Ziang dared not say no. he knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I am willing to share my worries for the emperor and Daming. I will lead a team to peace talks with the king of Wunan tomorrow."

Zhou Ziang knew that things were difficult, but he knew better that if he didn't agree now, he was afraid that his head would fall immediately.

Such a statement made Zhu Qizhen look much better. Then instead of seeing Zhou Ziang, he looked at Mu Mu and said: "Mou Aiqing, the royal guards should arrange people to do a good job in protecting this matter. In addition, the front line has been defeated. I'm afraid people are unstable now, and someone will take the opportunity to do something threatening Daming. We royal guards should take action and don't allow villains to make waves. Also, Guan Ying's family have been arrested, put in prison, tried some day, and beheaded after autumn."

"I will obey your orders." Mou Mu said without any difference. Then he took a look at Zhou Ziang, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He knew that peace talks were impossible now. This was just Zhu Qi's wishful thinking. As Yang Chendong's insider in Nanming, seeing that great things would be accomplished, he also needed to do more things to show his ability and extraordinary.

After Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, Mou Mu and Zhou Ziang withdrew from the hall of diligence. Then Mou Mu left the palace and went straight to the royal guards Yamen. He thought it was time to have a good talk with Shen Nantang and others.

Today's royal guards are all in the hands of Mou mu. It's just like Cao Jixiang controlled the royal guards at the beginning. But the difference is that he has no foreign enemies. Not only the emperor and queen trust him very much, but also the whole eunuch group dare not oppose him. His power now is equal to that of Wang Zhen at the beginning.

When the royal guards learned that Mou Mu was coming, Shen Nantang, Wu Ben and Luo Zhu also came to the secret room.

"Hello, Mr. Chang." after they got in, they noticed that there were two strange men standing behind Mou mu. Based on their experience, they felt that they must be good practitioners. They couldn't help beating drums. They carefully recalled what they had done recently. It seemed that they didn't listen to orders. They looked much better.

"Here we are, hand in the sabres." Mou Mu's eyes swept over Shen Nantang's three people one by one, and then opened his mouth and said these things.

When he heard that he was going to hand over his sabre, he saw two fierce men standing behind Mou mu. Wu Ben's instinctive reaction was that he couldn't hand it over, which was obviously to deal with himself. Although he had always been obedient and didn't do anything sorry for Mou mu, he still wanted to resist.

Shen Nantang and Luo Zhu didn't say anything, even their complexion didn't change. They happily took off the embroidered spring knife on their waist and handed it to the two strong men coming. They were all sinners. If it weren't for mu mu, they might have died in prison now. Even their lives were given by others. What's more terrible next? As long as it was Mu Mu's words, they would be all dead Will keep it. Because in their eyes, Mou Mu is their Savior and bole.

Wu Ben just hesitated and saw that Shen Nantang and Luo Zhu obediently handed over their sabres. He woke up and quickly untied his sabre, but such a hesitation had fallen into Mou Mu's eyes.

Before, he was still worried about who would become the commander of royal guards. Now he has made a decision.

"Three, what do we do to you?" Mou Mu decided to speak straight to the point. In front of his subordinates, there is no need to do things and hide them. Isn't it not generous.

"The Lord of the factory is as kind to us as his reborn parents. But if he has a life, he will never frown." this time, the three said in unison.

"Well, I'm very pleased. I'm asking you, now that Nanming has been defeated, the five-star army is coming. What do you think of the three of you?" Mou Mu took a cup of tea on the table and drank it slowly.

This turning point was a little big. For a moment, Shen Nantang didn't speak immediately. Instead, they thought in their hearts, what does Mou Mu mean by this? Can we say that the army was defeated miserably and that they should be transferred to the army?

If this is possible, isn't the Royal Horse supervisor in charge of this matter? Now the eunuch there is Zhang Chen, Mou Mu's father-in-law. It's not a word to arrange them to go to the army?

If it was in the past, it would be a good thing to go to the army for training. After all, the reputation of the royal guards is not very good. If you can go to the army to plating gold, you may really want to stand on the court and become an important minister. This is something that the shady royal guards officials can't do.

But now, obviously, the army can't do it. There's no difference between entering there and dying. Those who have the ability and ability are thinking about how to jump out of the army. Who will take the initiative to enter?

Thinking of these, all three looked a little ugly. They knew that if Mu Mu really had such a mind, they would go whether they wanted it or not.

"Well, why don't you answer? Just say what you have in front of me. I'll forgive you for your innocence." Mou Mu watched for a while. The three still didn't speak, pretending to be a little unhappy.

Mu Mu reminded them that they didn't dare not speak. Shen Nantang was the first to say, "the five-star army is full of vitality. They are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. In contrast, we are all recruits in Nanming. We are afraid to lose more and win less on the battlefield."

"HMM." Mu Mu nodded after listening. Although Shen Nantang said something euphemistic, Mu Mu still heard that this person was not optimistic about the Nanming army. On the contrary, he thought that the five-star army would win. This answer satisfied him. This is an object that can be won over.

"I agree with Shen Tongzhi. I'm afraid the Nanming army won't be the opponent of the five-star army." Luo Zhu immediately said.

Mu Mu didn't respond this time, but focused on Wu Ben.

At this time, Wu Ben's mood is somewhat contradictory. After all, he is now the royal guards of Nanming. It is said that he should not speak on such matters. Even if he spoke, he couldn't say anything discouraged, but Mou mupian asked, and Shen Nantang and Luo Zhu responded. He knew he couldn't do without saying something. "Well, I'll report to the Duke of the factory. The villain thinks it's very difficult for Nanming to win this battle."

Wu Ben finally opened his mouth. Although he was reluctant, he also expressed that he was not optimistic about Nanming. This made Mou Mu feel relieved. He finally made a decision, "well, you three listen to the order. Shen Nantang will be promoted to the commander of the royal guards from now on. He is the third grade official position; Luo Zhu will be promoted to the commander's common knowledge. From the third grade official position; as for Wu Ben, you can go to the army. For the time being, you will be the deputy commander of the Kyoto guard, which is also the third grade official position." "thank you, sir." Shen Nantang and Luo Zhu were elated for a while. They finally got their wish, and their official positions were promoted one level respectively. At this moment, they were full of excitement and excitement. Wu Ben, though promoted, was expelled from the royal guards. As for going to Kyoto guard, who doesn't know that the chief commander there is Fan Zhong, the confidant of the emperor and the guard general for many years. If you go to be a deputy commander, where will you have power?

He hated his poor performance just now, but it's no use talking more now. His arm can't twist his thigh. Besides, Mu Mu has a bosom friend for him. He can't betray. So although he didn't like it in his heart, he replied, "my subordinates thank you, Mr. Chang."

"Well, commander Shen and Luo Tongzhi go out first, and vice commander Wu stays." Mou Mu said with a smile on his face.
