Chapter 88: Mu Tiantao, who is crazy on the outside but calm on the inside
Chapter 88 Mu Tiantao, who looks crazy on the outside but calm on the inside
To deal with the heroes of Lantian, tears are much more useful than threats.
Mu Tiantao, who was riding a horse carrying a large bag of grenades and a phosphorus fire, bounced back to the city, thought so.
He believed that Lantian would definitely give him what he needed.
For nothing else, if I could consume Li Hongji's million-strong army in the capital, it would be beneficial to Lantian without any harm.
The heroes at the bottom of Lantian were powerless to resist any heroic and generous warrior behavior.
They can be impressed in this way. If they put this method on the calm Lantian high-level leaders who are like stones, even if they tell the Ming Dynasty themselves, if they have no intersection with Lantian's interests, they will still treat them coldly.
"There are all bastards in the academy!"
Mu Tiantao cursed to the sky and rushed towards the city gate with a quick whip.
Two horses were also running, and some were not good at coming.
Mu Tiantao looked at the city gate not far away and those entering and leaving the city. He sighed slightly and speeded up his horse.
Since no one cares about killing him, the Prince of Qian in broad daylight, there is no need for him, the Prince of Qian in any way to worry about murdering people in the street.
The two horses were not attacked on both sides, and when the previous horse approached, Mu Tiantao jumped out. Without waiting for the knight next to him to swing his knife, he drilled into his arms. Not only that, the moment he contacted, the iron pierced in his hand stabbed seven or eight times in the chest and abdomen.
The knight fell down from his horse, hung his feet on the stirrup and dragged them on the ground for a while, another knight separated by Mu Tiantao's war horse turned around and rushed towards Mu Tiantao with an embroidered sword.
Mu Tiantao, who was already standing on the ground, grabbed the bridle of the war horse with one hand, lowered his head to avoid the Xiuchun Knife, and used one hand to force the war horse to turn the neck around, taking the opportunity to press down to one side, with a rumbling sound, the war horse turned to the ground, and his heavy body pressed on the knight. Mu Tiantao heard a dense sound of bone breaking.
The one who holds the embroidered spring sword is the Jinyiwei.
These fierce people who used to make people feel scared now can only rely on selling their hard work to make a living.
Looking at the Jinyiwei killer who was spraying blood out of his mouth, Mu Tiantao ignored them and just found his war horse and led the injured war horse straight into the city gate.
Logically speaking, a murder occurred at the city gate, and the defenders at the city gate should ask about it anyway.
But they seemed to have not seen it, and they let Mu Tiantao lead three horses into the capital in a swaggering manner.
Mu Tiantao, who returned to Prince Mu's mansion, became unattainable again.
However, today is different from the past, a guest sat in his living room.
After Mu Tiantao saw this man, he bowed and said, "My younger generation, Mu Tiantao, has met Duke Baoguo."
Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi frowned and said, "What's the reason for killing Jiading Bo's housekeeper without authorization and not coming to the door to avenge him?"
Mu Tiantao smiled and said, "I am dreaming, so I will go to Jiading Bo’s Mansion to apologize."
Zhu Guobi nodded and said, "The son is teachable, but Jiading Bo has something wrong. Can the nephew reconcile with Jiading Bo for my sake? What if this matter has never happened?"
Mu Tiantao smiled and said, "Since Duke Baoguo said that there is no reason for me to disobey. As long as Jiading uncle returns the 300,000 taels of silver he took, I naturally dare not be disrespectful to Jiading uncle."
"What three hundred thousand taels?"
"When my brother heard that His Majesty was raising funds in the capital, he remembered the 300,000 taels of silver hidden in the bank deposit in the mansion in his early years. He took this opportunity to dedicate it to His Majesty to reward his soldiers and make up for the lack of the army.
Who knew that it was taken away by Jiading Bo, and asked the Duke of Baoguo to tell Jiading Bo that if it were the past, this batch of silver would be gone, but now it is different. This batch of silver will be handed over to His Majesty for military use.
Nothing can be missed.
In three days, if I can’t see this batch of silver within three days, I will lead people to Jiading Bo’s Mansion and search for this batch of silver.”
"You dare!"
Zhu Guobi slapped the table and shouted angrily.
Mu Tiantao laughed and said, "I heard that when Jiading Bo occupied my Prince Mu's Mansion, Duke Bao also participated in it. He said he could not help me, so he asked uncle to compensate me for some of my Prince Mu's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Guobi said gloomyly: "How much do you plan to ask your old uncle to compensate?"
Mu Tiantao laughed and said, "No more than no more, it's exactly 300,000 taels!"
"Why are you?"
Mu Tiantao opened his hands and said, "Since they are all martial arts families, they are naturally relying on a pair of fists."
Zhu Guobi walked away with his sleeves and laughed as he reached the door: "I want to see how big your fist is."
Mu Tiantao laughed and said, "Are you ready to leave now?"
Zhu Guobi smiled and said, "Do you still have to keep me?"
Mu Tiantao smiled and said, "That's what you mean!"
As soon as Zhu Guobi was about to speak, he saw Mu Tiantao pushing him step by step with a long sword in his hand. Zhu Guobi, who had never touched a sword or a gun for many generations, shouted repeatedly: "Come here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four corpses were thrown in at the gate of the inner house. Zhu Guobi looked at it and saw that it was the four companions he brought.
Zhu Guobi was so heartbroken that Mu Tiantao was forced to come towards him with a long sword in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Nephew, nephew, this matter is actually done by Uncle Jiading alone, no matter what your old uncle is doing.
I came here just to be a lobbyist."
Mu Tiantao slashed Zhu Guobi's back with a knife. The back of the knife collided with the spine, which made Zhu Guobi feel unbearable. He fell to the ground with a thud, sucking the cold air constantly, just wanting to let the terrible pain leave early.
Mu Tiantao squatted down and looked at Zhu Guobi and said, "Is it a situation of not being able to break up with the country when the country is in trouble? Your clan has enjoyed all his wealth and glory. Why is it so difficult to pay money outside?
I tell you, you will be hung on the gate of the Mu Palace soon. If you don’t give money for a moment, I won’t let it go. If you die, it doesn’t matter. I will go to your house to search. I heard that you have many wives and concubines, all of them are great beauties in Jiangnan. If you sell them, I can also sell 300,000 taels of silver!"
Zhu Guobi said in a trembling voice: "You are going to be enemies with all the nobles."
Mu Tiantao laughed loudly, and later the laughter became even more shrill. He pressed his long sword against Zhu Guobi's eyebrows and said, "The Ming Dynasty is in danger. Do you think I will care about things that are worse than you, pigs and dogs?
His Majesty spent all day long and could not sleep at night. The emperor was so arrogant that he was unable to bear to buy the dragon robe and his sleeves were torn. He even took out the palace for many years to save it. Even the old ginseng left in Wanli year was reluctant to use it himself and sold it all.
I'll ask you!
Have you ever felt distracted when you saw this scene?
Hahaha, of course you are not heartbroken, but instead instruct your servants to buy His Majesty’s treasures... Zhu Guobi, I, Mu Tiantao, don’t plan to take my life, so I plan to stay in the capital and live and die with the Ming Dynasty.
I'm not afraid of death, you think I'll care about anything else.
If you want to fight back, after I defeat Li Hongji, as long as I am still alive, you will come to argue with me again.
Come on, hang it up for me!
If the money is less than today, I will pour cold water on him at night.”
Seeing that the Duke of Baoguo Zhu Guobi was hung up by the slaves of the Prince Mu's mansion, he came to pass the emperor's orders, and ordered Mu Tiantao not to do anything wrong, Xu Gao, the eunuch who used his sleeve to smear the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
Seeing Xu Gao leaving, Mu Tiantao's manager Xue Zijian came to Mu Tiantao and said, "Criminal, Xu Gao is gone."
Mu Tiantao pulled Zhu Guobi, who was hung up, and said, "The cruel officials have always taken shortcuts in Zhongnan, such as Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing, and the cruel officials and men of the Western Han Dynasty.
This shortcut in Zhongnan can give me the power quickly.”
Xue Zijian said: "Everyone will oppose the prince."
Mu Tiantao smiled and said, "It's enough for the emperor to support me. Perhaps now, the emperor will not trust me completely. As I get more money, the more I am rejected by all the nobles and officials, the higher the possibility of me gaining power.
Don’t worry, before coming to the capital, every step I did was carefully calculated and measured, and the possibility of success was more than 70%.
Xue Zijian said admiringly: "I don't know if those masters are planning for the prince. I admire him very much. If the prince can invite these masters to the capital, wouldn't he be more confident?"
Mu Tiantao sighed and said, "We can't afford to invite you, and they don't want to come... If these people come to the capital and are willing to be loyal to the emperor, the Ming Dynasty will soon restore the peaceful and peaceful rivers..."
Xu Gao returned to the palace, knelt tremblingly in front of the emperor's table, holding up the imperial edict and saying a word.
Chongzhen raised his head from behind Gao Gao's document and looked at Xu Gao and said, "Why, Prince Mu's Mansion has not accepted my order?"
Xu Gao kowtowed repeatedly and said, "It's the old slave who is unwilling to promulgate the order."
Chongzhen was still a little confident about Xu Gao, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Say."
Xu Gao walked two steps: "Your Majesty, the reason why the prince of Prince Mu's mansion had a dispute with the father-in-law was not for personal grudges, but for raising military funds for Your Majesty!"
"What?" Chongzhen suddenly stood up, came to Xu Gao's hiding, helped the confidant eunuch up and said, "Tell me carefully."
Xu Gao shed tears and told the emperor all the things he saw in Prince Mu's mansion.
"Your Majesty, the father-in-law is not without money, but he is unwilling to take it out. You are not without money, but he is unwilling to take it out. Your Majesty, I beg you to pretend that you didn't see this.
Let’s see if the prince of Prince Mu’s mansion can raise enough military salaries for His Majesty and discuss it.”
The emperor was silent for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, what I can't do, let's see if this reckless boy can do it."
Xu Gao continued: "The prince of the Prince Mu's mansion said that he came to the capital this time to be a filial son and grandson for the Ming Dynasty. If he could win, he would strive to win. If he could not win, he would sacrifice his life for his country.
Your Majesty, this is the result of my thirty-hundred years of raising scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
Please, your Majesty, he will definitely not let His Majesty down upon this son.”
