The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

The second major event in the capital was that Prince Yun went to the Kingdom of Beiqi to negotiate as a peace envoy, and finally resolved the conflict with the Kingdom of Beiqi with three cities and 100,000 stones of grain.

Although there were some losses in this peace talk, it was a great thing for the common people as there was no need to fight a war and there was no need to collect grain or conscription of soldiers.

But when Prince Yun returned to the capital from Beiqi, the people saw that the prison car following the team back to the capital actually contained the Mu family father and son and a group of Mu family army generals.

It is said that this time, Prince Yun is holding the so-called "ironclad evidence" obtained from the Beiqi people, which can strongly prove that the Mu family army and the Beiqi people are colluding with each other.

However, in the hearts of the people of Dongyue, the Mu family army is like a god of war and a savior. How can they believe that such an iron army of saviors is in cahoots with the people of Beiqi?

Therefore, the people of the capital followed the prison car and rushed to the palace gate like a tide.

Until they could no longer enter the palace gate, they knelt spontaneously in front of the palace gate, shouting in unison, begging the emperor to see clearly and looking forward to the emperor's fair trial of the Mu family army.

As expected, they finally got the result they wanted. The 60,000 grains that were used as evidence of the Mu family army's collusion with Beiqi turned out to be a shameless frame-up by the Beiqi people!

It turned out that these 60,000 shi of grain and fodder were purchased from the Kingdom of Southern Shu by King Yi out of his own pocket because he was worried that the plague in the country would affect the food supply of the soldiers at the border, and sent them to Yanmen Pass for his soldiers to use.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to buy food from the Southern Shu Kingdom. But King Yi was different. His mother, Empress Yu, was from the Southern Shu Kingdom. It was reasonable to say that King Yi bought the food from the Southern Shu Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Dongyue was short of food and had no extra grain to purchase, so King Yi purchased grain from the Kingdom of Nanshu to support the border. This was a righteous act!

It seems that King Yi is not completely useless as he appears to be, but a good prince who cares about the soldiers at the border! In this way, the capital city sang praises to Su Yi's righteousness.

It is not known whether it was because of this injustice that made General Mu Weihou disheartened, or because of his advanced age and lack of strength, that he resigned from his post and returned home to enjoy his remaining years.

The emperor was grateful to the father and son of the Mu family for their dedication to the court and the people for many years. Although he agreed to Mu Weihou's resignation, he believed that a good father will have a good son, and the son will follow in his father's footsteps, so all the rewards were given to Mu Yan.

Not only did he allow Mu Weihou and his son to continue living in the general's mansion, but he also promoted Mu Yan, the Xuanwei general, to the position of military chief. It seemed that the emperor's reward to the Mu family was too generous, but in fact it was not.

First of all, the emperor kept Mu Weihou and his son in the capital so that he could always be on guard against the Mu family's movements. If they dared to step out of the capital, they would be killed without mercy, just like Mu Jin did when he left the capital that day.

Secondly, Mu Yan became the deputy commander of the entire Imperial Guard. On the surface, he was promoted, but he was only a military commander, and there was a military commander above him. In fact, the entire Imperial Guard only obeyed the orders of the military commander.

The position of Army Chief is just an empty and idle position. Although the salary is better than that of General Xuanwei and there is no danger of going into battle to kill the enemy like in the military camp, who wants to live on the salary?

Besides, Mu Weihou and his son have always been in charge of the Mu Family Army, which is their personal soldiers. If the Imperial Guards go to the army, who will listen to Mu Yan's orders?

Therefore, those who have some common sense could see the trick. The emperor was guarding against Mu Weihou and his son and the entire Mu family army.

Although Mu Weihou served as a general in the Dongyue Kingdom for so many years, he not only won countless victories, but also ensured the stability of the Dongyue Kingdom for decades. His loyalty is evident to all.

But emperors have always been suspicious. Who told him that Mu Weihou was a minister and Su Yu was the monarch? It was his bad luck that he was the one who was abandoned after his work was done.

People in the court saw it clearly, but the common people felt indignant for the Mu father and son, and privately said that the royal family was too ruthless.

It was obvious that the Dongyue Kingdom was corrupt, the people were living in hardship, and they could not provide food and fodder for the soldiers at the border. Yet they still had the leisure to engage in internal strife and guard against the Mu family army.

If Su Yi had not come forward to acknowledge the food and grass, it is estimated that Mu Weihou and his sons, as well as the entire Mu family army, would have lost their heads.

Thinking of this, the people couldn't help but feel angry at the father and son of Mu Weihou.

When Mu Weihou and his son walked out of the imperial palace that day, they saw that the red walls and yellow tiles of the palace were shrouded by dark clouds in the sky, which made it extremely depressing, just like their mood at that time.

Marquis Mu Wei stood under the eaves in tattered prisoner uniform and let out a long sigh. He suddenly felt that he was probably old and useless, otherwise he would not have been abandoned by the court.

If Su Yi had not asked someone to ask him to resign and admitted that it was Su Yi who took the food and grass, the emperor probably would not have let them and the entire Mu family army go this time.

He and his entire Mu family army had no intention of engaging in intrigue in this ever-changing court.

They just wanted to fulfill their duties and protect the stability of Dongyue. Compared with being a minister in the court, he would rather see himself as a soldier, fighting bravely to protect the country and the people.

Mu Yan supported Marquis Mu Wei and walked down the stairs in front of the hall step by step, while Huang Xin followed Su Yuntian and walked in front of Marquis Mu Wei and his son.

Mu Weihou and his son saluted Su Yuntian.

Huang Xin, who was standing next to Su Yuntian, was quite proud. He looked at the dark clouds and even the tattered prison uniforms of Mu Weihou and his son, and found them particularly pleasing to the eye.

He finally got his revenge for the broken hand he had suffered at the hands of Mu Yan. Next, as long as he followed Su Yuntian, he would have to think of more ways to bring about the complete downfall of the Mu family father and son.

Huang Xin said, "Why, the general looks so sad, is it possible that you don't want to retire and return home? You are just pretending to want the emperor to ask you to stay, but you didn't expect that the emperor would want you to leave immediately. Did you miscalculate?"

"But you don't need to be sad. Deputy Commander Mu has been promoted anyway. It would be good for him to go to the Imperial Guard. My eldest cousin is the military commander of the Imperial Guard. I will definitely ask my eldest cousin to take good care of Deputy Commander Mu in the future."

Huang Xin burst into laughter after he finished speaking. It was not until Su Yuntian looked at him that he stopped laughing and retreated behind Su Yuntian.

Su Yuntian looked at Mu Weihou coldly: "I never thought that Su Yi, that playboy, could stir up trouble in the court of the capital and save your Mu family's life even though he was so far away. I am a little curious, how did his people communicate with you?"

Marquis Mu Wei stared into Su Yuntian's eyes and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I don't understand what the Lord Yun said."

Su Yuntian sneered: "Don't you understand? No wonder General Mu wants to resign. You are really old."

"But I have something to say, and General Mu should be able to understand it. That is, as long as Ah Jin doesn't come back to my side, I will not let your Mu family have an easy life."

After Su Yuntian finished speaking, he turned to look at the dark clouds in the sky, then turned and left with Huang Xin.
