Chapter 470 Where do you get the face?
In the study, Mu Chengtian set up the chessboard, and the two of them played a game of chess back and forth.
"I didn't know the Regent is also proficient in chess. Others say that the Regent can only kill people. It seems that everyone underestimates the prince." Mu Chengtian said.
"General Mu, please speak frankly if you have anything to say. I don't like beating around the bush," said Fu Jinyuan.
Mu Chengtian admitted that he looked down on Fu Jinyuan at the beginning, thinking that whether in Yong Dynasty or after returning to Southern Dynasty, he could only maintain his foothold by relying on some unpresentable means.
The Zhenfu Division is different from other government offices in that it is focused on finding some private evidence against officials behind their backs. No decent child from an aristocratic family would like to do such a thing.
But later he also learned what Fu Jinyuan did after returning to the Southern Dynasty.
Proves that Fu Jinyuan is not a brainless and vulgar person.
This man was even brave and resourceful. In just one year, he turned the situation around and became the regent of the Southern Dynasty, surpassing anyone else.
It is not a good thing to become an enemy of such a person.
"To be honest, I thought your ambition was not just to be the regent." Mu Chengtian thought Fu Jinyuan wanted to replace Fu Jinyi.
In every respect, he is more suitable than the weak prince.
So-called brotherhood, huh, what kind of brotherhood is there in the royal family?
But Fu Jinyuan did not replace him. Instead, he tried his best to help the new emperor stabilize his government.
Surprising.
"General, what you said is quite treasonous," Fu Jinyuan said.
Mu Chengtian shook his head and smiled, "This general has always been loyal to the emperor. Today I was just joking with the prince."
Fu Jinyuan: "That's good, but some jokes are not allowed, so the general should be more careful."
"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has always praised you in front of me. We should be family." Mu Chengtian said with a smile.
"I have always believed that the general should be a straightforward person and would not speak in such a roundabout way." Fu Jinyuan raised his eyelids slightly, feeling impatient with Mu Chengtian's constant probing.
Mu Chengtian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Your Highness, I have a niece who is old enough to get married this year..." Mu Chengtian looked at Fu Jinyuan's expression.
Fu Jinyuan didn't move his brows, he just took the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"General, do you want me to help you be a matchmaker?" Fu Jinyuan pondered for a moment. "There are quite a few unmarried young men from noble families in the Pacification Division, and they are a good match for General Mu."
The daughter that Mu Chengtian raised so beautifully is qualified to be the queen even if she enters the palace, but he has never been optimistic about Fu Jinyi.
He was worried that Fu Jinyi would die young and his daughter would become a widow in the harem.
If Fu Jinyuan ascended the throne, he would not have this worry and would definitely find a way to marry his daughter into the palace.
"Your Highness, how about I let Baozhu come to pay her respects to you?" Mu Chengtian said.
Fu Jinyuan gently put down the teacup, "General, you have been on the battlefield for many years. Why do you keep your words so secretive? Are your subordinates tired?"
Mu Chengtian couldn't hold back his face after being squeezed out again and again.
"Your Highness, I will marry my daughter to you and she will be your princess consort. In the future, the Prince Regent's Palace and the General's Palace will truly become one family. What do you think?" Mu Chengtian said.
Fu Jinyuan sneered softly, "No big deal."
"General, are you willing to give your daughter to someone else as a concubine?"
"Of course not a concubine. My daughter must be married off in a formal way." Mu Chengtian said immediately.
Fu Jinyuan's eyes turned cold, "So? You want me to divorce my wife and marry someone else, and take your daughter back as my princess?"
Before Mu Chengtian could say anything, Fu Jinyuan's cold voice rang out again, "How dare you think that I would divorce my own princess?"
"Your daughter is some kind of celestial being, how can she compare to my princess?"
"Regent, please don't go too far!" Mu Chengtian was furious when he heard this.
Fu Jinyuan sneered, stood up and overturned the table.
"Mu Chengtian, don't you have any idea of your niece's background? If you want to use me to raise her status, it depends on whether I am willing or not."
"..."Mu Chengtian's face turned pale and blue.
After all, he is a general with a large army under his command. Does Fu Jinyuan know who he has offended?
Fu Jinyuan turned and left the study. As soon as the door opened, a petite figure jumped into Fu Jinyuan's arms like a frightened rabbit.
Before the corner of his clothes even touched Fu Jinyuan, the figure was kicked away.
"There's an assassin!" Wu Yang shouted immediately and drew his sword to point it at the intruder.
"It's me! It's me!" Mu Baozhu screamed. She was kicked to the ground and couldn't get up. Her face turned pale with pain.
When Mu Chengtian saw his daughter being kicked to the ground, he felt so heartbroken as if his flesh was being cut, and he hurried over to pick her up.
"Fu Jinyuan, you are going too far!"
Fu Jinyuan looked at Mu Chengtian gritting his teeth coldly and sneered, "Why don't we go to the palace and ask the emperor and the empress dowager to make the decision?"
"Your Highness, it was Baozhu's fault for being reckless. Don't blame my uncle." Mu Baozhu had a tear in the corner of her eye. Her face was as beautiful as a blooming flower, and her beautiful eyes stared straight at Fu Jinyuan.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen is as tender and bright as a flower bud, which is the time when she is most likely to attract men.
Fu Jinyuan just glanced coldly, "The Royal Grandmother was born in the Mu family, and she has always been dignified and noble. General, don't let the younger generation of your family ruin the reputation of the Mu family. If it is said that the Mu family's family education is not strict..."
"Your Highness, please forgive me. It was my negligence that caused me to fail to discipline the younger generation in my family. I am sorry for making you embarrassed." Madam Mu walked over with a gloomy face and glanced at Mu Chengtian with a dark look.
Mrs. Mu apologized to Fu Jinyuan and his wife.
"Then I won't bother Madam Mu to discipline the girls at home." Fu Jinyuan said.
He didn't even wait for the banquet and left with Shen Suian.
"What happened that makes you so angry?" After getting on the carriage, Shen Suian asked Fu Jinyuan softly.
She didn't have time to see Mu Baozhu deliberately trying to throw herself into Fu Jinyuan's arms.
A servant went to report to Madam Mu that Mu Baozhu had come to the study. Madam Mu immediately brought her over, only to see a confrontation in the study.
Fu Jinyuan told him what Mu Chengtian said today.
"You don't understand!" Fu Jinyuan snorted.
The reason why he didn't kick Mu Chengtian was because of the Empress Dowager.
Shen Sui'an raised his hand and gently stroked his brow, "Don't be angry, I'm not angry."
I've seen men trying to stuff women into Fu Jinyuan's pockets, but I've never seen anyone go to such an outrageous extent to steal her girl.
Invite the couple to a banquet, and then secretly ask her husband to divorce her as the princess and marry his daughter...
Could Mu Chengtian be any more outrageous?
"This man is too ambitious. We must find a way to take away his military power." Fu Jinyuan said coldly.
Judging from the various temptations and seductions Mu Chengtian used today, he clearly has a bigger plan.
"Since you have such great ambitions, wouldn't it be more useful to send your daughter directly to the palace?" Shen Suian said.
Fu Jinyuan sneered, "He knows very well that even if he sends his daughter to the palace, with the queen mother around, his daughter can't do anything."
