Chapter 59 The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them

After Mu Changtian finished his salute, he said with a slight embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that you would be the one who saved the Mu Mansion in the end.

On their way to Beijun, Mu Changtian and the others had not thought that the mysterious prince Liang Zong and the others mentioned was the Beiwang. After all, Beijun was the fiefdom of the Beiwang.

But the idea that "that mysterious prince is the North King" only flashed through their minds, and they quickly denied it in their hearts.

However, the person who stood in front of them in the end was King Bei himself.

This shocked them extremely.

They really couldn't believe that King Bei, who was rumored to be uneducated and dissolute, could hide so deeply!

Judging from the fact that King Bei was able to produce the Great Return Pill and that he had such a huge power in his hands, if he participated in seizing the heir, the eldest prince would definitely not be his opponent.

At this time, Mu Changtian and his son had a question in their hearts at the same time. Why did the Northern King still hide his clumsiness when he had such a huge power?

If he participates in seizing the heir, and has the power in his hands and the support of the Jiangnan family, then the position in the capital is likely to be his.

Now that the King of the North has been driven to Beijun, if he still wants the position in the capital, he will eventually have to raise an army.

But Mu Changtian and the others also saw the conditions in Beijun. If they raised troops in Beijun, it would be difficult to defeat the elite soldiers of Daxia.

Even if they win the battle, Daxia will definitely destroy all lives, leaving King Bei with another mess.

Lu Chen said at this time: "You all should sit down, don't stand."

Having said this, Lu Chen entered the private room, and the guard in brocade clothes at the door then closed the door.

After Lu Chen entered the private room, Mu Changtian asked directly: "My lord, you have such a huge power, why did you hide your clumsiness in the capital in the first place?"

Lu Chen said calmly: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them."

"My father-in-law is now in his prime. If he knows that I have such a huge power in my hands, what do you think my father-in-law will do?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian and the others reacted instantly.

As a prince, King Bei had such huge power in his hands and had his own people in the army. If Emperor Xia knew about it, he would definitely be suspicious of him.

You, a prince, have been vigorously cultivating your own power and winning over soldiers in the army when your father was still in his prime. What do you want to do?

However, Mu Changtian still didn't understand. Even if King Bei had a huge power in his hands, there was no need for him to pretend to be a waste. He just had to not reveal his trump card.

Although he was confused, Mu Changtian no longer planned to continue asking.

After knowing that King Bei was a very scheming person, Mu Changtian no longer regarded King Bei as a political novice. He now only believed that King Bei must have done this carefully.

King Bei must have a bigger plan!

Although the Northern King was also a bloodline of the Xia Emperor, because the Northern King rescued the Mu Mansion, and because Mu Zixuan was the Northern King's princess, Mu Changtian had no psychological grudge against Lu Chen.

Mu Changtian said at this time: "The King of the North saved our Mu Mansion. If the King of the North needs me in the future, I, Mu Changtian, will be utterly devastated!"

Mu Changtian's words were equivalent to a direct declaration of allegiance to Lu Chen. After hearing what Mu Changtian said, Mu Xingping and Mu Jingwu quickly saluted and said, "We also swear to follow the Northern King to the death!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "We are all a family, so don't say such things."

Having said this, Lu Chen looked at Mu Changtian and asked: "Father-in-law, there is actually a question that I have been confused about, but I can't find anyone to ask it. You just happened to be here, and I want to ask you for advice."

When Lu Chen talks to his own people, he never calls himself "my king". Using "I" can shorten the distance between them.

However, Mu Changtian is a relatively conservative person. Although Lu Chen is his son-in-law, he is still a prince. In Mu Changtian's eyes, Prince Lu Chen's identity is greater than that of his son-in-law. Mu Changtian still said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please explain."

Lu Chen then asked: "It stands to reason that if my father wants to get rid of the aristocratic family, he will definitely need a sharp sword. There is no doubt that you, father-in-law, are the most suitable, but why..."

Lu Chen did not continue talking, after all, it involved Mu Changtian's sadness.

Mu Changtian instantly understood the question Lu Chen wanted to ask. He sighed and replied: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has never trusted me. In other words, in his eyes, I am not that sharp sword. Even if it is a sharp sword, It can only be the sword of a noble family."

Mu Changtian originally wanted to call Emperor Xia by his first name, but thinking that King Bei was the son of Emperor Xia, it was not good to call Emperor Xia by his first name in front of him, so he finally called Emperor Xia "Your Majesty".

At this time, Mu Changtian thought of something, so he continued: "And I suspect that your Majesty already has a sharper sword in his hand."

After hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

After a while, Lu Chen said: "The Mu Mansion is gone. I have prepared a new residence for you, but I'm afraid you will need to change your surname in the future."

Mu Changtian immediately said: "Thank you, King Bei."

It would be good if they could survive. As for changing their surnames, Mu Changtian didn't care that much. As long as Emperor Xia died, their surnames could be changed back.

At this time, Mu Changtian asked tentatively: "My lord, what are your plans after coming to Beijun?"

From Mu Changtian's point of view, the Northern King had such a powerful force in his hands that he could not be willing to be an idle prince in Beijun. Mu Changtian wanted to seize this opportunity.

As long as the Northern King ascends the throne and becomes the new Xia Emperor, the Mu Mansion can still be as glorious as it once was.

Although the Mu family fell to this state because of Emperor Xia, Mu Changtian did not have much hatred for Lu Chen, the son of Emperor Xia, because this was a political struggle and the interests of his son and father were different.

In most dynasties, old emperors exiled their old ministers, and then the new emperor reused the idea of ​​exiling the old ministers. This was an opportunity for the new emperor to show kindness. After the exiled old ministers returned to the court, most of them would not hate the new emperor, but would be grateful to the new emperor. emperor.

Hearing Mu Changtian's question, Lu Chen's lips raised slightly, revealing a smile.

"I don't have any plans yet."

this……

Mu Changtian was stunned.

He didn't believe what Lu Chen said.

King Bei has been hiding in the capital for so many years, and has accumulated such a powerful force in his hands. If he said that King Bei didn't have any plans, no one would believe him.

Lu Chen knew that Mu Changtian didn't believe it, so he continued: "The time has not come yet, no matter how busy you are, it will be in vain."

Mu Changtian realized instantly that King Bei was waiting for a suitable opportunity!

He said, how could such a scheming person as Bei Wang settle down in a corner?

Mu Changtian immediately said: "Your Majesty, if there is ever a need for me in the future, I, Mu Changtian, will definitely fight to the death!"

Lu Chen said: "Not later, I need my father-in-law to do me a favor now."

Mu Changtian immediately said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Lu Chen said: "I plan to train a cavalry force in Beijun, but there are no suitable generals. I wonder if you have any ideas, father-in-law?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian felt a little excited. He didn't expect that he would be able to play a role just after coming to Beijun. He quickly stood up and saluted Lu Chen and said: "I will train this cavalry as soon as possible. Live up to the prince’s expectations!”

Lu Chen nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's come here today. I will ask the princess to visit you in your new home later."

Having said this, Lu Chen walked towards the door.

Mu Changtian and his son saluted again and said: "Best farewell to the prince!"
