On the side of Dali Temple, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who got the news, interrogated Zheng's mother overnight.

Zheng's mother was scolded by her mother-in-law for a day, and she was dizzy and very depressed.

In addition, after waiting for a day, she didn't see anyone from Changning Houfu coming to deliver the letter, so her spirit was a little unbearable.

At first, in the face of Shaoqing's questioning from Dali Temple, she could barely bear it, thinking of her children, she gritted her teeth and refused to speak.

When she got on the board, she couldn't support it.

When Shaoqing of Dali Temple told her that Changning Houfu and the Mu family had arranged for someone to end her life in prison, Zheng's mother was a little devastated.

Zheng's mother, who collapsed, was quickly recruited.

Early the next morning, the Marquis of Changning handed a post to the palace pleading guilty, and then stood at the gate of the palace waiting to be summoned.

Although he has a marquis with him, he only has an idle position on him, and he does not need to go to court to wait for leisure.

At this hour, Emperor Jiayou should be in the upper court, and hundreds of officials are discussing.

Changning Hou counted the time in his heart.

The early morning sun shone on the gate of the palace, gradually lengthening and shortening the shadow of Changning Hou.

May in Jinling has begun to enter the middle of summer, the weather is hot, and the sun is baking, and the forehead and back of Changning Hou gradually sweat down.

Finally, when the hundred officials dispersed, they walked out of the palace gate one after another.

Seeing Changning Hou standing at the gate of the palace, he couldn't help but cause a wave of whispered discussions.

"The Marquis of Changning is probably here to ask for sin!"

"Alas, with such a subordinate, the Marquis of Changning has also suffered. ”

"Do you think it's just a dirty fight between the people? Cousin Zhong thought too simply. ”

"Hey, is there anything else hidden here?"

"Who knows?"

Faint speculation and discussion floated out of the crowd, and Changning Hou's dough suddenly turned into eggplant.

Who said these officials don't gossip?

The Marquis of Changning endured the embarrassment and waited for the hundred officials to disperse, so that Emperor Jiayou would have time to see him.

He was thinking about how he would cry when he saw Emperor Jiayou.

Although the Marquis of Changning has not made any achievements over the years, his grandfather and father have also followed Taizu and the emperor to fight the world and made meritorious contributions.

Your Majesty should not be unconcerned about the merits of the ancestors of Changning Houfu.

Suddenly, a sentence floated into the ears of Changning Hou, who was full of calculations.

"So, what Shaoqing played in Dali Temple just now is true?"

"I think it's very likely. ”

Changning Hou unconsciously pricked up his ears, what did Shaoqing of Dali Temple play?

Thinking of Zheng's mother, who was still in the prison of Dali Temple, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Could it be that Dali Temple still failed to handle the case overnight?

Isn't this a big case?

Changninghou stretched out his ears to listen to two more sentences, but unfortunately the officials who spoke had already gone away.

The sun was dazzling and scorching, forcing him to raise his head and quickly lower it.

Only then did he find that there was no Mu Qingfeng among the officials who came out of the previous dynasty.

Mu Qingfeng said that he would intercede for him yesterday, so he should have stayed inside, right?

It's a pity that Changning Hou guessed the beginning, but once again didn't guess the ending.

Mu Qingfeng stayed in the palace, but he didn't take the initiative to stay and plead, at this moment he was being stared at and scolded by Emperor Jiayou coldly.

Mu Qingfeng knelt on the ground, sweating like rain.

A piece of music fell on his head, but he didn't dare to hide.

In his heart, he was scolding Cheng Jun, the young secretary of Dali Temple.

This shameless bastard is actually behind his back.

"As a dignified Dali Siqing, but he knows the law and violates the law, and he actually instructed his subordinates to steal to the princess's mansion, how bold are you?" Emperor Jiayou's cold voice sounded above his head.

"I ask you, do you know what you said above?"

Mu Qingfeng pleaded guiltily, but his mind was quickly thinking about how to exonerate himself.

After all, he had been a privy envoy for several years, and he had also been cited by Emperor Jiayou as his right-hand man, so he still had some understanding of Emperor Jiayou's mind and temperament.

He can't completely shirk this matter, nor can he say that he is completely unaware, which will make Emperor Jiayou even more disgusted with him.

Now, it is impossible to completely shirk it, and we can only find ways to minimize the loss of the Mu family.

With an idea, he lay on the ground and pleaded guilty with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, this matter is the minister's wife Wang made her own opinion, and she did something wrong with Mrs. Changning Hou. ”

"Your Majesty also knows about the ugly things of the Mu family, it was the minister's thought that drove Mu Jin out of the house, and every time the minister thinks about it over the years, he is also remorseful in his heart. ”

"The minister really mistreated Mu Jin back then, and now he has the heart to make up for it, some time ago, he has been looking for an opportunity to repair his relationship with Mu Jin, and wants to make up for the debt he has owed her over the years. ”

When the Wang family knew about this, it was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable, and the woman's family had a small belly, so she inevitably went back to her parents' house and complained a few words. ”

"Mrs. Changning Hou felt sorry for her, so the two of them came up with this crooked idea, on the day of the wedding, the dowry was checked, and it would be a shame to say it, they just wanted to deliberately make Mu Jin lose face, so that she was not comfortable in her heart, and there was absolutely no such thing as Shaoqing of Dali Temple who instructed people to deliberately steal the secret medicine for giving birth. ”

After this incident came out, the minister immediately reprimanded the Wang family in a stern manner after knowing about it, and also reached a consensus with the Marquis of Changning, so he asked Mrs. Marquis Changning to go to the princess's mansion to apologize. ”

"Most of what the slave who made a mistake said was the truth, and the minister admitted it, but the starting point of doing this was that the minister didn't admit it, the Wang family didn't deliberately look for any secret medicine for having children, but it was just a reason, and he wanted to find Mu Jin unhappy. ”

Mu Qingfeng said, and kowtowed again, "In the final analysis, this matter is due to the fact that the ministers are not strict in governing the family, although they want to make up for it after knowing the truth, they take care of their face, and they have not admitted it in time, and the same is true for the Marquis of Changning, he is also pleading outside the palace at the moment!"

"The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

There was silence in the hall, and Mu Qingfeng lay on the ground, motionless.

Emperor Jiayou looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

He didn't expect Mu Qingfeng to admit it so happily.

This matter, in fact, in the final analysis, is not a big deal, but if it is a small matter, now the court officials of the two families are involved.

He thought silently for a moment, and felt that Mu Qingfeng should not have the courage to deceive himself, most of what he said was the truth.

"As the secretary of the Dali Temple, you are not strict in governing the family, and the inner curtain is not repaired, so you will temporarily resign from the post of the secretary of the Dali Temple, think about it behind closed doors for half a month, and go to the Taichang Temple to serve. ”

Mu Qingfeng's body trembled, and his hands were clenched together.

Taichang Temple is in charge of the court's sacrifices, non-New Year's festivals, no affairs, is a very leisurely yamen.

But in the end, he is still in the court, and His Majesty has not touched his grade, which is already a great luck.

It doesn't matter, he is slowly dormant, and there will always be a day when he will get up!

Emperor Jiayou sighed, "Get up, Mu Qing, in fact, your ability to do errands is not bad, why are you so confused in family affairs, I hope you can handle family affairs clearly in the half month you are closed." ”

Mu Qingfeng's body trembled, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"
