Chapter 250: Reluctantly
After Lu Jinlian arrived in Tuyuhun, he met with Murong Longhun and gave Murong Longhun the credential written by Zhu Yaoshi to read.
When Lu Jinglian thought about it, Murong Longhun would definitely be overjoyed and agree, but Murong Longhun looked at it several times and asked Lu Jinglian
"Can I, a barbaric and vulgar person from Tuyuhun, be the emperor of the Central Plains?"
Lu Jinglian was speechless for a moment, and after a moment he returned, "I, the Son of China, are worthy of any virtuous person! What's more, Murong Hua is also a bloodline of my great emperor, so why not?"
Murong Longhun suddenly became energetic: "Murong Hua? Can he be the emperor of the Central Plains? Are you Central Plains people really willing to surrender to him?"
"I, the Emperor of the Central Plains, have always been concerned about the inheritance of the imperial lineage! If I respect Heaven and Dharma ancestors, respect Confucius and Confucianism, and be supported by all the people, then I will be the emperor!"
"Mr. Lu's words are all lies. Murong Hua is no more than a six-year-old child. He doesn't have a single soldier in his hands. There will be no pie in the sky. I don't think he will last long as an emperor and he will not be able to sit still!"
Lu Jinglian knew that Murong Longhun still had something to say, which was that Tuyuhun sent troops to protect Murong Hua before she went to Luoyang to ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor.
But once Lu Jinglian opens his mouth, he will lead the wolf into the house. Murong Hua is just a puppet. This puppet must be in the hands of Lu Jinglian, Wang Tiezhu and others, so that the Tuyuhun people cannot take the opportunity to occupy the Central Plains.
Lu Jing even forced a smile on his face, "King Bailan is overly worried. Murong Hua's father, Murong Ling, possesses peerless martial arts. With him by his side, Murong Hua will be able to sit on the throne safely!"
"You Central Plains people are really troublesome! Instead of doing this, why not just pass the throne to Murong Ling directly, and save a lot of trouble!"
"King Bailan, Murong Ling does not have the blood of the Zhu family, so it is not appropriate to inherit the throne of the Wei Dynasty. Murong Huahua's mother, Zhu Xuehua, is the sister of the Emperor of Wei. Murong Hua has the blood of the Zhu family, so it is in line with the etiquette and law to inherit the throne!"
"I think this matter is inappropriate. No matter how skilled Murong Ling is, he is only one person. The journey here is long, so I still send five thousand men to protect him!"
"King Bailan! This is what happened!" Lu Jing quickly tried to stop him, but Murong Longhun stood up and signaled the guards to take Lu Jinglian to rest.
"Mr. Lu, I'm tired. You guys treat me so well!"
"King Bailan!" Lu Jinglian struggled to argue, but Murong Longhun turned behind the screen and turned a deaf ear.
Murong Longhun personally took three hundred ghost sheep to find Murong Ling's family of three, and happened to bump into them halfway.
When Murong Ling saw Murong Longhun coming in person, she thought that Tuyuhun was attacked by the Northern Green Banner Khanate, so she quickly flew over, "What happened? The king was alerted and headed towards the old camp!"
Murong Longhun's face darkened, "There are many people here, and this is not the place to talk. You take your family and follow me to a resting stone house in front of you. This matter is too big and I must tell you!"
After Murong Longhun told Murong Ling the details of Lu Jinglian's mission to Tuyuhun, Murong Ling said lightly, "I won't go!"
Zhu Xuehua was anxious, "Even if Xiaohua doesn't become the emperor, I still have to go back and see my eldest brother! My eldest brother is now seriously ill and has no relatives around him!"
Murong Longhun also started to smooth things over, "Xuehua is right, no one can be ruthless except humans. Even if you don't want to be the emperor of the Central Plains, you still want to see your relatives!"
Murong Ling looked at Murong Hua who was playing with a handful of Gesang flowers, "Okay, let's go see Brother Zhu and come back! Don't make any plans about this throne. Tuyuhun's dominance over the western border is already the limit. If you still want to occupy the Central Plains, I'm afraid it will
Being surrounded by enemies on all sides, the gains outweigh the losses in the end!”
Murong Longhun was a little embarrassed, "Of course I understand this. I will only send a few hundred ghost sheep riders to escort you, and we will return together after you visit the Emperor of Wei!"
Murong Ling looked at them and said, "I want to meet the envoy from Wei State first!"
"Of course, the edict in the hands of the envoy must also be handed over to you, father and son!"
After Murong Ling saw Lu Jinglian, he asked about the situation in Wei all night long. Lu Jinglian begged Murong Ling to go in person, and Murong Ling agreed for the sake of his wife and children.
Murong Ling's family and Lu Jing walked to the vicinity of Chang'an with five hundred ghost sheep, and someone came to report that Zhu Yaoshi was gone.
Wei Guo died three points.
Zhu Xuehua cried in the car and Murong Ling frowned, "Master Lu, do you think you can go back to Luoyang now?"
"Marshal Wang of Luoyang is a loyal man. He also received the edict that day to make Murong Hua the new king! If Marshal Wang had had second thoughts, he would not have waited until now!"
Murong Hua patted Zhu Xuehua, "Go to Luoyang first, and then go to Jinling to worship Brother Zhu!"
Zhu Xuehua did not answer and continued to cry. Murong Hua also started crying. Murong Ling picked up Murong Hua and said, "Don't cry, let your mother sleep for a while!"
"But my mother is crying too. She hasn't slept! Dad, how far do we have to go? I want to go home!"
"After crossing the river, you can go home!"
After the group arrived in Luoyang, Wang Tiezhu personally went out of the city to greet them. Seeing that Murong Ling, the only person who could tie with him in the past, was also there, Wang Tiezhu stretched out his arms to give him a hug.
Murong Ling also waved in response, dismounted and walked towards Wang Tiezhu, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Zhu Xuehua's face turned red and white. Wang Tiezhu pressed his big hands on Murong Ling's waist, and Murong Ling's four fingers pressed against Wang Tiezhu's shoulder blades.
"Master Murong's inner strength is still the same as before. Wang has not been as happy as he is today for a long, long time! He won't be happy if he doesn't fight for three to five hundred rounds today."
"Marshal Wang is so powerful that I admire him very much. Marshal Wang warmly invited me, but I was disrespectful!"
Lu Jing and Yan Ruohua were afraid that both Murong Ling and King Tiezhu would lose due to the internal strength competition, so they worked together as peacemakers.
"Both of you are brave and invincible generals in the world. Now there are many important things that need to be dealt with by you. How about putting this competition aside for a later time?"
Wang Tiezhu let go of Murong Ling and waved his hand, "Master Lu doesn't understand people who practice martial arts. Today is just a competition. It doesn't matter."
Murong Ling also took a few steps back and got ready to fight. Murong Hua rushed out, "Abba, don't fight, don't kill!"
Murong Hua hugged Murong Ling's thigh tightly. Murong Ling quickly squatted down and picked up Murong Hua. "Marshal Wang, it seems that we have to change the date! I'm sorry."
Wang Tiezhu cupped his fists and smiled, "From now on you will be the Supreme Emperor, and I won't dare to touch you!"
As soon as they heard the word Taishang Huang, everyone looked at Wang Tiezhu.
Lu Jinglian and Yan Ruohua secretly exclaimed that Wang Tiezhu was too careless. How could he directly declare Murong Ling as the Supreme Emperor in public?
Murong Ling's expression also changed: "I am not interested in this matter, and my son does not want to be the emperor!"
At this time, Lu Jinglian stomped his feet: "Two generals, stop joking and enter the city quickly!"
Zhu Xuehua came over to take over Murong Hua: "Everyone, the first thing after entering the city is to pay tribute to the late emperor. As for the throne, we must consider it in the long term!"
Fortunately, Zhu Xuehua was able to smooth things over, and Lu Jing, Yan Ruohua and a group of officials gathered Murong Ling and his son into Luoyang City.
After mourning Pharmacist Zhu, Wang Tiezhu and others continued to force Murong Ling and his son to stay as emperors. Lu Jing, Yan Ruohua and a group of civil servants forced him to death.
Zhu Xuehua's people who escaped from Jinling heard that Zhu Xuehua was poisoned to death by two concubines, and He Wuji's subordinates. Jia Yuanen's servants cried for days asking Zhu Xuehua to avenge He Wuji and others.
Zhu Xuehua asked in front of everyone, "They father and son do not want to inherit the throne of the late emperor. How about I, Zhu Xuehua, take the throne to avenge the late emperor and all the loyal ministers and righteous men?"
Empress? This is unprecedented. Lu Jinglian and Yan Ruohua originally wanted to stop it, but then they thought, this was an opportunity to keep Murong Ling and his son.
"It's perfect for the eldest princess to be the regent and overseer of the country! The eldest princess can listen to the government behind the curtain, so you don't have to worry about your subordinates deceiving the young master!"
"I am sincerely convinced that the eldest princess will be the regent. Your highness, the eldest princess, will live a thousand years old!"
Lu Jing and Yan Ruohua took the lead, and everyone else knelt down one after another. Murong Ling and his son were extremely embarrassed.
Murong Ling could not leave Zhu Xuehua behind now and had to stay, but Murong Ling would not be manipulated by them.
When Zhu Xuehua came to the throne, Murong Ling said, "I, Murong Ling, are also old friends and close friends with the Emperor of Wei. You also have a deep affection for me and my son. Since we want to succeed, then we will go to Jinling to avenge the late emperor."
, succeeded to the throne in Jinling!"
No one could refute these words. Wang Tiezhu spoke frankly and sincerely, "My king also thinks that we should avenge the late emperor first. If we stay in the west and dare not go east, wouldn't we become cowards?"
Wang Tiezhu's response quickly affected the generals in the hall, and the voice of revenge resounded throughout the hall.
Zhu Xuehua had no choice but to stand up at this time: "Dear ministers of civil and military affairs, the most important thing is to conquer the bandits in the east. I am deeply moved by your loyalty and courage now. It is just a thousand-mile eastward expedition. It will take time to prepare the people, horses, food, grass and equipment, and the enemy's situation is also uncertain.
I don’t know, these all need to be planned carefully!”
Wang Tiezhu replied loudly, "I have prepared all the clothes, armor, equipment, food and fodder. I have sent three hundred scouts to find out the enemy's situation. Now we are waiting for His Highness to give the order to hunt down the thieves!"
"Your Majesty Murong Ling is willing to open the way for the vanguard!"
Murong Ling's actions confused many people. He didn't want to be the Supreme Emperor, but he volunteered to be a vanguard general. Could he be stupid?
Zhu Xuehua understood that Murong Ling just wanted to take Murong Hua away from Luoyang.
Before Zhu Xuehua could respond, Wang Tiezhu smiled, "With the help of Grand Master Murong, we can take down Jinling in one go. Your Highness, please give the order!"
Lu Jinglian coughed several times towards Wang Tiezhu, "Marshal Wang, don't lose your composure. Your Highness will naturally make a decision."
Zhu Xuehua glanced at Murong Ling resentfully, "Since it is to avenge the late emperor, I have no reason not to go there myself!"
Wang Tiezhu nodded, "Okay, Your Highness will fight in person to avenge the late emperor. Okay, I, Wang Tiezhu, will follow Your Highness to the death!"
Wang Tiezhu did not allow others to express their opinions and led a group of generals to invite him to fight. Lu Jing and Yan Ruohua looked at each other and shook their heads.
Zhu Xuehua waited for the crowd to die down and took out the edict that Zhu Yaoshi left for her. "Everyone, the late emperor ordered Lu Jinglian, Yan Ruohua, Wang Tiezhu and other important ministers to assist the government. Marshal Wang wants to march eastward, so Luoyang City has to retain people.
To defend, I will take the young master with me to march with Marshal Wang's army. How about Grand Master Murong Ling staying in Luoyang?"
Everyone was whispering, some were worried about Murong Ling colluding with Tuyuhun, some thought that they wanted to keep Murong Ling to contain Tuyuhun, and some thought that they didn't want Murong Ling, King Tiezhu and the two to compete for credit.
Murong Ling said it herself, "If I stay in Luoyang, aren't you afraid that I will dedicate Luoyang City to Tuyuhun? I am the leader of Tuyuhun!"
There was immediately silence in the main hall. Zhu Xuehua was so angry that she could do nothing.
Wang Tiezhu is still honest and honest, "If you, Grand Master Murong, want to plot against us, you can just become the Supreme Emperor and give the entire Wei Kingdom to Tuyuhun, instead of going to all the trouble to dedicate a Luoyang city?"
The ministers also immediately understood, "Master Murong is really good at joking. You are the only one who is most reassuring among the people in this hall to guard Luoyang City!"
Murong Ling's irony made everyone more convinced of him and unanimously recommended him to guard Luoyang.
Zhu Xuehua had no choice but to follow everyone's opinions and left Murong Ling to guard Luoyang. He took Murong Hua and followed Wang Tiezhu's army eastward.
Before leaving, Murong Hua hugged Murong Ling's thigh and refused to let go. Zhu Xuehua forcibly opened his hands and carried him into the carriage.
Murong Ling took Murong Hua's hand and her voice was trembling: "Don't cry, I will take you back to the West Sea in two months, and we will never come out again!"
"Abba, you lied. You said we would go home when we arrived in Luoyang! Liar! Liar!"
Murong Hua shouted while pulling out the amulet Murong Ling put on him and throwing it on the ground.
