Chapter 13
The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked, the birds are good and the bow is hidden, the country was unstable before, and the Mu family needs to protect the family and defend the country, but now the Xiao family is sitting firmly in the country, and the military power has not been able to take it back, the emperor is uncomfortable, the military power of the past dynasties is higher than the imperial power, and a sentence that the monarch will not be subject to the foreign monarch's life is provoking the monarchy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and if the emperor wants the right to be supreme and no one dares to refute it, he needs at least half of the military power.
In case one day there are courtiers who collude with the Mu family to rebel, the emperor's dragon chair will not be comfortable, and there are few people who are not suspicious by nature.
Muyang Hou was cautious in his words and deeds, he wanted to protect the Mu family, he didn't dare to relax, for fear that Mu Li would be frivolous and calculated.
After the death of his cousin in his previous life, his uncle trusted Zhao Yi, and because of her, he treated Zhao Yi as a son and taught him everything, and the soldiers in the army also believed in Zhao Yi.
It can be said that the Mu family's military power finally belongs to Zhao Yi.
She always thought that Zhao Yi was following in her uncle's footsteps to protect his family and defend the country, but she didn't expect him to think about the position above the ten thousand people.
Zhao Taifu's mansion is the queen's maiden family, the queen's own son died, and if the throne is not passed to Zhao Yi, the throne will fall into the hands of others.
She had always thought so.
But Zhao Yan wants to marry Zhao Yi as the queen, she is questioning Zhao Yi's identity, it is normal for cousins and sisters to get married, and brothers and sisters are **, the Zhao family will never do such a thing for the position of a queen, not to mention that Zhao Yan can't get pregnant at all.
If you just enjoy the glory and wealth, after Zhao Yi ascends the throne, she can be crowned a princess and given her 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 acres of fertile land.
But Zhao Yan wants to marry Zhao Yi, she can't tell the difference now, is Zhao Yi really the son of Emperor Ming Xiao?
When Emperor Ming Xiao and the queen cuckolded the king together?
Considering leaving the palace, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only give birth secretly, which was not impossible.
Just thinking about it, he listened to Mu Lidao, "Don't talk about me, Minglan comes, don't be in a hurry, because I'm delayed." ”
Muyang Hou looked at Minglan and asked, "Is your mother okay?"
Minglan nodded, "It's much better, I'm here to ask Uncle Xie to ask Old Lady Wang to expose Aunt Fang's lies." ”
At the mention of Aunt Fang, Mu Yanghou sighed, regretting that the Mu family could not give birth to a son.
If the Mu family has a son under her knees, what chance does Aunt Fang have to make waves?
Gu Shi promised him that he would treat the Mu family well, he broke his promise, he was looking for teeth all over the ground as soon as he hit him, but Gu Shi had no children under his knees, he wanted to take concubines, even if he accepted more than a dozen, he couldn't control it, he couldn't let the family break off, that is, he was too wide.
There is nothing to do, it is enough to take care of the divorce of his wife, not to mention one more jealousy.
The Mu family is his mother's family and the Mu family's reliance, but there are some things he can't control.
Muyanghou looked at Minglan and noticed that there was something wrong with Minglan's makeup, he took a closer look at it and said with a smile, "Your makeup is better than what you painted before." ”
The corners of Mu Li's mouth twitched, his father was a rough man, and he still knew forehead makeup?
But if you look closely, it's really, like it's real.
Minglan touched his forehead, smiled cleanly and clearly, "Uncle, my forehead makeup is not painted, it's real." ”
Muyanghou was stunned for a moment, and said, "Really?"
Minglan nodded, "It's true, the flame birthmark inexplicably ran from the arm to the forehead." ”
For his uncle and cousin, Minglan trusts them wholeheartedly and will not hide them.
As if he didn't believe it, Muyanghou stretched out his hand and rubbed it on her forehead, although he was a man, he also knew that the forehead makeup drawn by cinnabar would fade with a single stroke.
It's true, that's right.
Muyanghou got up, walked to the Bogu shelf, removed a painting, took out a brocade box from it, handed it to Minglan and said, "This is what your great-grandmother left you, and I have been here with my uncle for more than ten years, saying that I will show you when your birthmark runs to your forehead." ”
There are still birthmarks running everywhere in the world, and if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he really didn't believe it.
Minglan looked sluggish, anyone who received a gift prepared by a loved one who had been dead for more than ten years would be stunned, she slowly reached out and took the brocade box.
The brocade box was locked, Mu Li looked at it, and asked Mu Yang Houdao, "Father, where is the key?"
Muyang Hou said, "Your great-grandmother didn't have the key when she gave it to me. ”
But if you really want to open it, it's not that you can't open it, a small lock can't stop him, but this is Mrs. Mu's relic, and it is for Minglan, and he is not good at destroying it.
He has been here for more than ten years, he almost forgot, last time he thought about it, and asked Mu, now he has finally handed it over, and he has a heart.
Minglan looked at the Ruyi lock on the brocade box, small and exquisite, with flames carved on it, exactly the same as Mrs. Mu and her forehead, Minglan rubbed it twice, and found that this lock cylinder was different from the ordinary, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Thinking of something, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took out a pendant from her neck, purple gold inlaid with rubies, which was a birthday gift given to her by her great-grandmother in the year she died, and it was also carved with flames.
Minglan took off the pendant, which was the key to the brocade box lock.
Seeing that Minglan opened the brocade box, Mu Li glanced at Mu Zhen meaningfully, the great-grandmother let her father keep the brocade box, but the key was given to her cousin, isn't it to prevent her father from peeking?
Sensing his son's questioning eyes, Mu Zhen's face turned faintly blue, and the anger that had previously dissipated suddenly came out again, even more than before.
Just as he was about to let him go out, don't get in the way in front of him, when he heard a voice from Minglan, "Uncle, the letter is for you." ”
Mu Zhen looked over and saw Minglan handing him a yellowed letter, with four words on it: Mu Zhen personally opened.
Mu Li was speechless, "What is Mrs. Tai doing, the brocade box is for my cousin, but the things inside are for my father, isn't this an extra move?"
The letter was indeed for Mu Zhen, but there was more than one letter in the brocade box, and there was a thick pile.
Minglan opened the first letter, only to glance at it, his eyes almost popped out, and there was a wave of ecstasy all over his body.
That kind of joy was beyond words, and Mu Li, who was watching it, couldn't help but come over to see what Mrs. Tai had written to make her so happy.
It's just that as soon as he got closer, Minglan leaned the letter on his chest, obviously not letting him see it.
Over there, Mu Zhen read the letter, but he frowned, he couldn't believe it, seeing that there were still a lot of letters in the brocade box, he reached out to take it, but Minglan quickly hugged him in his arms, put the letter in the brocade box, and closed the lock.
The movements are smooth and smooth, all in one go, poor Mu Zhen's hands are still hanging in the air, how embarrassing it is.
