Chapter 139 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (46)
Hearing the warning in his words, everyone bowed and saluted, "We will follow His Highness Tangcuo's orders."
Tangcuo looked at the people in front of the hall and nodded awkwardly, "Okay, okay..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yuan stood up, grabbed Tang Cuo's wrist, and walked towards the side hall with him.
In the side hall, Murong Yuan turned around and looked at Tang Cuo, saying in a gentle tone, "Your Highness, were you not frightened just now?"
Tangcuo followed behind him, and after hearing what he said, he shook his head slightly and said softly, "It's okay."
"Your Highness, did you have anything to ask just now?" There was a glimmer of hope in Murong Yuan's eyes.
"Hmm... just what you said in front of the temple, is there any other hidden meaning? And that person, there is obviously someone behind him, why don't you deal with the person who instructed him?"
"Your Highness, do you know that the Li Bei Dynasty has always been known as a country at war?" Murong Yuan did not answer his question directly, but brought up another topic.
“I don’t have much impression of that.”
"Its geographical location is relatively remote from the Northern Dynasty. Initially, its location was easy to attack but difficult to defend. Therefore, our ancestors established an unwritten rule in order to preserve this hard-earned foundation." Murong Yuan paused.
"Even in the Libei Dynasty, the bloodline of the prince is not the first priority. We respect the people with talent first, so some ministers naturally hope that I will die in a foreign country, so that they can form a clique and establish themselves as kings."
Is this really the case? No wonder he was sent to the Puyang Dynasty as a hostage when he was young. This must have been one of the reasons.
“As for why I didn’t punish the person behind him, it’s because the amount of money embezzled and accepted by Li Huairen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was huge. I have to make him return the money in full before I punish him.
The scene in front of the palace just now was just a warning to others, and it can also help push you to a higher position."
When this matter was mentioned, Tangcuo frowned unconsciously, "A Yuan, what you said about me taking charge of all the affairs of the court, is this also true?"
"Yes, Your Highness, A Yuan said that he is willing to rule this dynasty together with you." Murong Yuan looked at him devoutly, and his tone became very solemn.
This is a mess, a complete mess. Aren't co-rulers the emperor and the empress? And I've never been an emperor, and I don't even have much of the etiquette left from when I was a crown prince...
"I think we should discuss this..."
"No need to discuss, Your Highness. I made this decision many years ago. Being with you is my greatest wish."
What's going on? Now that it's revealed, I suddenly feel that Murong Yuan might not be a bad choice. He's handsome, rich, powerful, and a favorite. He looks like a loyal dog, isn't he?
[Host, your idea is a little dangerous, please stop it immediately. The system reminds you that the host cannot replace the attacker midway.]
"I know, I know. I'll just enjoy it for a few days, not forever..."
Tangcuo raised his eyes to look at Murong Yuan and changed the subject, "By the way, Ayuan, when are you planning to go to the capital of the Rong Dynasty?" After getting the exact news, I have to make preparations early...
"Your Highness, will you come to see me off after noon the day after tomorrow?" Murong Yuan said with some pleasure in his tone.
"How sure are you?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. As long as you still need me, I will not die." Murong Yuan's eyes slightly raised, and then he stretched out his hand and pulled Tangcuo into his arms. "Your Highness, allow me to offend you. A Yuan really wants to hold you in his arms. Only in this way can A Yuan feel that you are real."
Hearing his words, Tangcuo did not push him away, but stood up and patted him on the back, "Ayuan, don't be afraid, I'm with you."
There was a hint of pity in Tang Cuo's eyes: Although the person in front of him liked him, he had not done anything out of the ordinary for several days.
With his status, if he wanted to take me by force, I would have no chance to resist. However, Murong Yuan seemed to treat me with more pious awe, as if he had covered me with a layer of sacred and inviolable veil.
This inexplicably made me feel a little bit of pity for him.
On the other side, Mu Hanqing, wearing a black and gold python robe, stood solemnly in the emperor's study. His face was calm, and it was unknown since when he began to restrain his previous unruly expression.
"Uncle Wang, you are here, is there anything important you want to tell me?" The little emperor looked at him with confusion.
"Your Majesty, are you aware that the monarch of the Northern Dynasty is coming to our capital to sign an agreement?"
"I know that the greatest contributor to this matter is the Left Prime Minister. He has gained the greatest benefit for our Rong Dynasty with the least casualties. He is worthy of being a pillar of the country." The young emperor smiled when he mentioned him.
"Heh, you secretly used my people to exchange for his own interests. You are truly worthy of being a pillar of the country." Mu Hanqing sneered, "Your Majesty, please allow me to be the person in charge of this reception and be responsible for the affairs of this reception."
"Will this... be too much trouble for Uncle Wang?" The little emperor tightened his fingers slightly. "It's just a reception. Just find an official of rank five or above."
"In this case, I will not beat around the bush with Your Majesty. I just want to test Murong Yuan's skills and strength. I am ready to deal with him in the future. As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle..."
"If that's the case, then leave it to Uncle Wang. However, as the pillar of our Rong Dynasty, Uncle Wang must take good care of his health..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not let you down." Mu Hanqing nodded slightly. "In that case, I will go back and prepare."
"Uncle Wang, please do as you please."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Hanqing walked out of the study.
Seeing his figure slowly approaching, Rongcuo hurriedly came forward and stood beside him, "Your Highness..."
"Find more people to keep a full surveillance on Murong Yuan once he enters the capital."
"Yes." Rong Cuo nodded, then said hesitantly, "The secret agents from the Northern Dynasty have sent me news about Young Master Tang. I wonder if His Majesty wants to..."
"Speak." Hearing Tang Cuo's name, Mu Hanqing subconsciously stopped and stood still.
"At the morning court today, the emperor of the Libei Dynasty brought Young Master Tang directly to the hall, and then sat with him on... the dragon throne, and also... also proposed the idea of co-governance." Rongcuo said while observing Mu Hanqing's expression.
"Co-governance? Ha! My Ah Cuo is still capable." Mu Hanqing sneered, "Suddenly I feel like I can't wait any longer. I really want to catch him right now and lock him up tightly with an iron chain."
There was a flash of bloodthirsty madness in his eyes.
Hearing his words, Rongcuo's expression did not change greatly. "Your Highness, the people planted in Libei Dynasty have been secretly lurking outside their palace. If Young Master Tang did not come with Prince Li, they should be able to bring Young Master Tang back within a day..."
