After Liu Jian was deprived of the title of crown prince, Murong Ling took Li Xiaofei and wanted to return to Jinling. It was not to fight for the crown prince for Liu Jian, but because Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei had not been removed as the crown prince. Murong Ling wanted to

To perform duties.

Li Xiaofei couldn't laugh or cry. Although he was ostracized by Wang Xian in Chang'an, he didn't want to be accused of running away before the battle, so he chose to stay in Chang'an. Seeing Li Xiaofei's resolute attitude, Murong Ling threw away his hand and left, turning around and said: "You fool, you can pay for the coffin."

You haven’t given it to me yet, you have to wait until I get back to you even if you die.”

Li Xiaofei stared blankly at Murong Ling getting on the horse, and suddenly remembered something: "Murong, help me go to Shouxian County to see Hongrui and Youran!"

Murong Ling didn't pause, just said: "Okay", then rode Juechen to the east.

Jinling did not want these two people to assist the new crown prince, but the fight was so fierce that day that no one remembered that they forgot to remove Murong Ling and Li Xiaofei from their official positions when issuing the edict.

Xiao Ding successfully recruited Pharmacist Zhu and everyone was happy when he returned to Jinling. Xiao Ding even proudly placed the coral rockery in the courtyard and invited everyone to come and enjoy it together.

Xiao Shan was naturally surprised. Although he also had a coral rockery in his house, it was only one-fifth of the size that Xiao Ding brought back. Xiao Shan walked around the coral rockery and kept reaching out to touch it: "You Prime Minister is kissing a tiger and a wolf."

Lair, I didn’t expect to get such a treasure. It seems that Pharmacist Zhu is also a smart man and is willing to spend a lot of money."

Xiao Ding touched his beard: "The gift given to me, the right prime minister, is so valuable. You, the left prime minister, are going to give you a gold mountain."

The Chen family, which has always focused on shipping, also had people here this time. Chen Hongda, Chen Hongyi’s elder brother, heard that someone had brought back a coral rockery from the north, so he came to see if it was real or fake. Chen Hongda knocked it up and down, inside and out.

After taking a look at it: "I originally thought that this thing could only be obtained in the South China Sea, but I didn't expect it to be found in the north. It seems that there will be more and more of this treasure in the future."

Xiao Ding was a little displeased: "Master Chen, you mean that this thing is worthless before it's my turn?"

Chen Hongda smiled: "No, no, no, Prime Minister You misunderstood. Maybe I am ignorant. This thing is indeed a treasure in the world."

Yuan Kang was very envious: "I guess Mr. Chen has lived in Lingnan for a long time and has seen many treasures. This coral is not surprising. If Mr. Chen can give me some corals that he has no use for, I will not refuse them."

Xie Rui was not interested in the rockery. He just said some words of praise, and then asked Xiao Ding: "What does Prime Minister You think of Zhu Yaoshi's troops and horses? These people are only temporarily attached to our Daliang. In fact, they are still separatist forces in Youzhou."

, I’m afraid there will be trouble in the future.”

Xiao Ding received a lot of Zhu Yaoshi's property, and said that it was not a cause for concern because Zhu Yaoshi's men were weak and their armor was broken. Xiao Shan was a sensible man, and his face turned dark: "If Zhu Yaoshi only has this kind of fighting power, how can he not have it?"

Being annexed by foreign tribes in Mobei? I'm afraid Prime Minister Right is not using people's money to cover up for others."

Xiao Ding slapped his head: "I forgot to mention that Pharmacist Zhu borrowed 10,000 troops and horses from the Kingdom of Goryeo. Only with these 10,000 troops and horses in his hands, no one from Mobei dared to attack him.

Idea. I think this person is greedy for money and can be used by us."

Xiao Shan smiled: "He is in his thirties, is he really just greedy for money?"

Xiao Ding tried his best to think back: "I have been in contact with him for a few days, and there are really no women around him. Considering that this person comes from a poor background, it is normal for him not to have women to accompany him."

Xie Rui clapped his hands: "He is from an untouchable background. If Yuan Zhi from an aristocratic family marries someone, it would be because he has reached a higher level. What do you think?"

Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Ding: "We in the Xiao Mansion may not have the right person."

Yuan Kang became energetic at this time: "I have adopted several adopted daughters. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think I can choose one to marry."

Everyone looked at Yuan Kang and said, "Then it's up to you, King Situ. It's up to Prime Minister Right to do the matchmaking!"

After everyone gathered together, they were about to have dinner together when someone suddenly came and reported urgently: "Grand Master Murong Ling has returned to Jinling and is heading straight to the palace!"

"How many troops did he bring?" Everyone suddenly became nervous, thinking that Murong Ling came back with troops and horses.

"The Grand Master has one man and one horse, and there are no soldiers or horses following him!"

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief

"Hurry and prepare the carriage and enter the palace!"

"Go quickly and order the gatekeepers to close the city gates!"

"Go and tell Zhongyi Tang!"

"Hurry up and tell the officials with more than two thousand stones in Beijing to enter the palace immediately!"

Everyone was busy, everyone got on the carriage and rushed to the palace.

When everyone rushed to the palace gate, Murong Ling was sitting at the palace gate drinking.

Murong Ling put on the Grand Master's court attire for the first time. The purple court robe was embroidered with gold woven unicorns on the chest. The cuffs were inlaid with gold edges and she was pulled up by Murong Ling. Murong Ling's long knife was drawn from the left waist and placed on the

On the steps.

Seeing all the officials panting and climbing up to her step by step, Murong Ling raised her neck and took a swig of wine: "Excuse me!"

Everyone was bent over, with some hands on the steps in front. From a distance, they looked like they were worshiping Murong Ling. When they heard Murong Ling say these four words, they almost fainted. Yuan Kang was about to gasp and talk to Murong Ling.

After hearing the theory, Murong Ling immediately got up and strode to Chengqing Hall.

Everyone wanted to catch up with Murong Ling, but Murong Ling took ten steps, and they had to take a breath after taking one step, looking very embarrassed.

Murong Ling wanted to tease them, so she walked out three steps and then took two steps back to wait for them.

After half an hour, Murong Ling finally entered the hall with a large number of sweating and panting courtiers.

The emperor also knew the news that Murong Ling had returned to Jinling, so he had been waiting for Murong Ling in the main hall.

Murong Ling did not kneel down when she saw the emperor, but just kept looking at him.

The ministers still knelt three times and kowtowed nine times according to etiquette. Qin Zhong was about to speak out to question Murong Ling, but the emperor stopped him.

The emperor wanted to explain the matter of deposing the crown prince, so he smiled and said: "Grandmaster Murong, this deposing of the crown prince is also about to happen. Please understand my painstaking efforts."

Murong Ling also smiled: "I am the grand master, so naturally I have to assist the prince. I will accompany whoever your majesty appoints. Naturally, everything the emperor does is right."

Then all the ministers remembered that they had forgotten to remove Murong Ling's position as Grand Master, so they all petitioned to remove Murong Ling from his position as Grand Master.

The emperor looked at Murong Ling while speaking to comfort him, but Murong Ling shouted to Qin Zhong: "Bring the prince here!"

Although Qin Zhong didn't know what Murong Ling was going to do, he was loyal to the emperor, so he grunted at the several eunuchs, who then turned around and went to the East Palace.

The ministers became more noisy and energetic, and they all knelt down to ask the emperor to spare Murong Ling.

Murong Ling pulled out the long sword and flicked it a few times: "Your Majesty, I remember that I have the right to kill first and then show off. Today I might as well kill and show off at the same time. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ling put a long knife on Xiao Shan's neck. Everyone immediately fell silent, and the emperor stood up from the throne: "Master, put the knife away. These are important officials of the imperial court and cannot be killed at will!"

As soon as the emperor begged for mercy, Yuan Kang became emboldened: "Murong Ling drew his sword in the palace and bullied the prime minister. How is it any different from treason? Everyone can kill such rebels!"

Murong Ling jumped up and jumped to the throne: "I am the grand master who was appointed by the emperor. I go to the palace with swords and shoes, and I am praised and worshiped in vain. But you are falsely accusing me of treason. It seems that I want to cut out your tongue first!"

After saying this, Murong Ling jumped down and landed in front of Yuan Kang. Yuan Kang was so frightened that he fell backwards and was caught in the neck by Murong Ling's left hand. Murong Ling swung the knife with his right hand and half of Yuan Kang's tongue fell to the ground, leaving blood.

More than that. Murong Ling let go of Yuan Kang. Yuan Kang was rolling on the ground, his mouth was slurred, and he couldn't tell whether he was wailing or yelling.

The rest of the ministers trembled all over, and some fainted from fright.

At this time, the eunuchs reported the infant prince together. Murong Ling walked over with a knife in hand. Everyone did not dare to say anything, but just watched. The emperor stood up again: "Grand Master, he is still a baby.

Please also ask the Grand Master to let him go."

Murong Ling did not answer immediately, but gently picked up the little prince and held him in his arms: "Your Majesty, I am the grand master, and I have to protect the prince. I will take the prince away today. If the prince is changed again in the future, I will protect the prince."

Just come back and get it."

After saying this, Murong Ling teased the little prince up, and the little baby kept laughing.

The emperor also smiled and looked at the ministers who were lying on the ground and did not dare to express their anger: "Do you still have any objections?"

Except for Yuan Kang, who was still rolling around and slurring his words, everyone else remained silent. After all, Murong Ling hadn't spoken yet, so they were afraid of saying something wrong.

Murong Ling smiled: "Your Majesty asked them what they were doing. I am the Grand Master, so I can leave this matter to you. Please retire!"

Murong Ling protected the young prince with her left hand and walked out of the palace gate with the knife in her right hand.

When leaving the palace gate, more than a hundred assassins from the Zhongyi Hall were waiting outside the palace gate. The leader was Yuan Zhong, the leader of the Zhongyi Hall. Yuan Zhong clasped his hands and said, "The grand master is going to die today, and Yuan is here to mourn!"

Murong Ling didn't answer. He raised his left hand and threw the little prince into the magpie's nest on the top of a big poplar tree. He swung the knife with his right hand and came to chop Yuan Zhong. Thanks to Yuan Zhong throwing shields from left and right, Yuan Zhong was not killed on the spot.

.

Seeing that Murong Ling missed a hit, he retreated towards the city wall. Everyone took out their bows and arrows to shoot. Unexpectedly, Murong Ling had already taken out several paper packets from his arms and threw them. The lime powder all over the sky immediately confused everyone. Yuan Zhong closed his eyes.

He rolled his eyes and cursed: "You actually resorted to such dirty means as spreading lime. How can you be considered a hero?"

Murong Ling ignored it, jumped up to the tree, picked up the little prince, and ran out along the city wall. The defenders from various places on the city wall also chased after him, but Murong Ling bumped into the group with the largest number of people in just a blink of an eye.

In the meantime, all the soldiers rolled to the ground and hugged their legs and covered their arms.

Murong Ling was not in a hurry to escape, but went back to the city and bought a black horse. He rode the horse and swaggered out of the city. A large number of soldiers and killers followed but did not dare to take action. As soon as Murong Ling turned around, everyone took a few steps back. Murong Ling

Laughed loudly: "It seems that the ancients said that Zhao Zilong was very lucky and met so many opponents, but I can't do it!"
