In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

She was a little flustered for a moment. It was only her first day in court and she was still unsure of what to say.

The ministers in the hall were talking in low voices:

"Why did the leader of the sparrows suddenly become ill?"

"yes"

“I wonder if that’s true?”

"How can a proton return at will?"

Mu Jinan was afraid that Emperor Ming would agree, so he stood up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I, the humble official Mu Jinan, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue, have something to say."

The ministers turned around and looked at this weak woman. What did they want to say?

Emperor Ming looked haggard. In the past few days, day and night, he and Shen Yuyuan were obsessed with sex, which hurt their bodies. He said weakly:

"Mr. Mu, please come forward and speak."

Mu Jinan stepped forward quickly, saluted, and said in a loud voice:

"The current Jiedushi Duhu recruits soldiers and controls finances, the government soldiers are in disarray, the Jiedushi's powers are rampant, our dynasty no longer distributes land equally, the outside is heavy and the inside is light, and there is a dilemma between money and soldiers."

"Although the Qique tribe is only a small tribe, if the Linyuhe tribe and the Qixuan tribe join forces, it will be a big threat to our Sheng country."

"We can't send the protons back like this, they might be cheating."

Crown Prince Li Xu looked at Mu Jinan in front of him. Although he didn't understand what he said, every word he said was true.

Li Heng adjusted his sleeves lightly, turned around and looked at her without saying a word. He had already met with Lin Xiang and Shen Yuzhong separately, and instructed them both to make sure the hostage left.

Li Huaijin looked up at Emperor Ming's face with some worry. Knowing that Mu Jinan was strong-willed, he asked her to learn how to speak in the court first to build up her courage.

The ministers nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

Some shook their heads and said, "Can women serve as officials in the court?"

"nonsense"

Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Xiang stood up, their eyes full of disdain:

"What does a woman know about government? Your Majesty is an emperor of all ages, wise and powerful. Besides, recruiting soldiers to replace the government soldiers is because the treasury is insufficient and the land is not distributed evenly."

"Li Yuanyang, the prince of the Qingque clan, is usually law-abiding and respectful to our dynasty. How could he have second thoughts?"

Mu Jinan knew that he was a treacherous minister throughout history and was not so easy to deal with. At this moment, she was weaker than him, but a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger:

"It is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger. You can only know the face but not the heart. How can Prime Minister Lin know whether Li Yuanyang is pretending or not? Is he not trying to escape from our control?"

Prime Minister Lin waved his sleeves and decided to let the hostage Li Yuanyang leave today. How could a little girl be a match for the prime minister? He snorted coldly:

"Your Majesty, if we detain the hostage, it may cause dissatisfaction among the leaders of the Qingque tribe. Besides, the hostage is only here to visit the Hui tribe. The leader is fine and can return."

Li Huaijin stood up. He felt that what Mu Jinan said made some sense and wanted to support her:

"Your Majesty, do not let the tiger go back to the mountains, there will be endless troubles"

Li Heng smiled slightly, stood up and saluted, saying: "Father, I think what Mr. Mu said makes sense. I have a way to have the best of both worlds."

Emperor Ming was a little sleepy. He ignored the foreign tribes at the border and was still immersed in the joy of peace and prosperity:

"King Rui, come and see"

Li Heng said loudly: "Since you are worried about Li Yuanyang, send a team of people to escort him all the way, see the leader in person, and return if nothing happens."

How could Mu Jin know that it was Li Heng's special arrangement? Wasn't he unaware of the Song poem and had traveled through time?

Then why did he calculate this move so accurately? As soon as she entered the court, Li Yuanyang was about to go back. Mu Jinan felt that she was being guided and controlled by others, and felt that this was very different from the original text:

"If we join the Crying Bird Tribe, that group of people may never return."

Li Heng's eyes turned, he didn't want to waste any more time on verbal disputes. Also, because of sending Shen Yuyuan, Emperor Ming trusted him more. He knew what kind of words Emperor Ming liked to hear, so he said to his heart:

"Father, I am a sparrow in our prosperous country, and I am only as good as an ant and an elephant. What is there to be afraid of? If the Yuhe tribe had not allowed me to return to my country that day, I would not have been able to fulfill my filial duty for the rest of my life."

"In the heart of heaven and earth, man is the most precious, and there is nothing more precious in human nature than filial piety"

"The leader of the weeping sparrows is seriously ill and just wants to see his son. Father, all the people in this world are your subjects. Why don't you be considerate and fulfill their father-son relationship?"

Mu Jinan was about to argue when he heard Emperor Ming wave his sleeves and said loudly:

"Then allow him to return home to visit his relatives."

"Is there anything else to report? If nothing else, I will adjourn the court."

The court officials looked embarrassed. Jiang Yanqing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the treasury is currently in deficit and the people are burdened with heavy taxes. Please reduce the expenses of the harem and cut back on the rewards given to the favorite ministers and noble lords."

Emperor Ming stroked the dragon throne with his fingers and said angrily:

"I dote on Concubine Shen, so naturally I have to give her the most precious and luxurious things. Why would a great country like ours go to such an extent to cut down on the expenses of the harem?"

"Minister Jiang, I just promoted you, and you're making things difficult for me?"

Jiang Yanqing nodded and lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not..."

Prince of Qi Li Che closed his eyes tightly, his heart filled with rage and he felt ashamed and embarrassed that his princess was taken away by his father.

Emperor Ming had been plotting this for a long time. He was worried about opposition from his ministers. Now he promoted Shen Yuzhong and wanted to please Shen Yuyuan:

"In this case, Shen Yuzhong, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of War and Treasury, I order you to be the Minister of Revenue and replenish the national treasury as soon as possible."

Everyone was horrified and uneasy. Shen Yuzhong was only Concubine Shen's brother. How could an official of the sixth or seventh rank suddenly become a minister? How could this be possible?

"Your Majesty, no"

Shen Yuzhong suppressed the smile on his face and said happily:

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Li Huaijin tried to dissuade him, seeing that Emperor Ming was obsessed with beauty, neglecting state affairs, and intending to let the treacherous minister Lin Xiang take charge of state affairs:

"Your Majesty, such a promotion is not in accordance with the official system."

Emperor Ming waved his sleeves and shook his head: "I am here for the morning court today. We will discuss it tomorrow if there is anything else."

He got up and left.

The eunuch shouted: "Dismiss the court!"

Everyone said in unison: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yuzhong was very proud. He straightened his back, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly before going out:

"Hahaha"

Someone added: "Congratulations to Lord Shen on his promotion to Shangshu."

Some people gathered around and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Shen."

"Congratulations, Minister Shen"

Shen Yuzhong looked like a smug and arrogant villain, and shouted:

"Shen is a humble man, but I am appreciated by your Majesty. I will hold a banquet at my home in three days to celebrate. I hope you will come and show us your kindness."

The person beside him said quickly: "Thank you, sir."

Mu Jinan knew that besides Li Heng, this man was one of the five major villains in the original text, so she would have to be very alert in the future, but at this moment she had to do her best to stop Li Yuanyang from returning to Qique.

She pondered all the way and walked out of the palace. Li Huaijin saw that she was in a state of despair and didn't say a word, so he asked her:

"Lady"

Seeing that she didn't respond, he said again: "Mr. Mu"

Mu Jinan looked at him in confusion: "My Lord, what's the matter?"

Li Huaijin looked relaxed, not wanting to let her self-confidence suffer a blow, so he comforted her:

"Debates in the court have always been like this. On the first day of court, don't be discouraged, my lady."

Mu Jinan said coldly: "Yes, Your Majesty"

She vaguely remembered that in the original text, the leader of the sobbing birds was not seriously ill at this time, so this was undoubtedly a trick.

She said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Soon he got on the carriage and returned home.

Li Huaijin looked at her back with loss. Why was she always so distant to him? Was it really because of Nangong Yu?

Then I thought, seeing that she was strongly against Li Yuanyang's return to the Hui nationality, could it be that they knew each other?

Li Huaijin ordered: "Yun Chi, follow Madam Mu. If she leaves the house, report immediately."

Yun Chi said: "Yes

Mu Jinan dressed in disguise, carrying a bow and arrow, and waiting outside the city on a fast horse.

Nangong Yu felt a little panicked and looked everywhere for her, but there was no sign of her.

As night fell, the stars disappeared and the path outside the city was especially quiet. The only sound was the rustling of leaves. Mu Jinan hid in a secluded place.

Gradually, the sound of horse hooves was heard at the end of the path.

A group of people and horses walked quickly towards this side, and the carriage stopped. Li Heng jumped out, followed by Li Yuanyang. The two talked and laughed and said goodbye to each other.

Li Yuanyang said: "Your Highness is resourceful and has helped me to return to my tribe. I would like to thank you."

Li Heng said softly: "Prince, please don't forget our agreement."

Li Yuanyang laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with cunning: "That lady Mu Jinan?"

Li Heng smiled and walked away: "Let's see what God will do."

The Sheng State guards who were supposed to follow Li Yuanyang actually left.

Mu Jinan said angrily: "It is indeed Li Heng"

"Li Yuanyang was supposed to leave Chang'an in three days. Can Your Majesty agree to leave tonight?"

On the other side, hundreds of people on galloping horses stopped and said in unison:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

Seeing that these people did not look like people from Sheng State, but rather looked and dressed like people from Qique State, it turned out that the leader's illness was just an excuse.

Mu Jinan was confused. The original text said that Mu Yun killed the princess and she was just framed as a replacement. The person Li Yuanyang saw in the original text should not be Mu Jinan, but the real princess.

But in history, it was indeed the daughter of a royal family who was named a princess and married off. She felt vaguely uneasy. Could it be that she was the one who was supposed to marry off?

"Why did this Li Yuanyang, the weeping bird, mention my name?"

"If I don't kill him, he will abuse me in every way and cut off my head in the future."

See Li Yuanyang get on his horse and leave.
