Chapter 987: Guilty
It is said that after a person dies, no matter what bad things he has done in his life, basically in his heart, he only leaves a good impression of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was also after the death of the king of Chu that the emperor felt that the decision he had made before was a bit reckless. In the same way, he felt sorry for the loss of a son.
So because of the death of the king of Chu, he has been uninterested in the government for a few days, and today he heard about Mu Ze's unauthorized departure from Beijing, he was angry, first murdered the courtiers who reported the affairs, and then held his forehead and said to Mu Que: "Old Seven, after the dispersal of the dynasty, you come to the imperial study with me." ”
At present, the situation between the DPRK and China has become less clear. It turned out that the King of Chu and the King of Duan had always fought to the death, but the King of Chu had been deprived of the right to participate in court politics by the emperor a long time ago.
So now that the king of Chu is dead, everyone understands that the future must be the world of the two brothers, Mu Ling and Mu Que.
Exactly who killed the deer, that's not something they can guess now. These courtiers are now also weighing whether to join the prince's party or not. Or like Xiangye's old fox, stay neutral and no one will help?
Compared to Mu Ling, Mu Que has to fight, who doesn't know, he is the emperor's favorite son? Even if Mu Ling and Mu Ze are tied together, I am afraid that he is not as favored.
No, the emperor was in such a bad mood, and after he dispersed, he called him to the imperial study.
Mu Que followed the emperor away, and Mu Ling still looked as low-key as before, but some courtiers still found that this low-key had changed a little.
The previous curtain feather can't be too exposed, because it will make the King of Chu and Mu Que join forces to get rid of him.
But now, just like Mu Que before, forced by the situation, he has been dragged to the front of the curtain by the hands of fate. Although he had been planning this succession for a long time.
In the imperial study, the emperor first took the tea handed over by Xiao Yuzi, and after taking a sip, his brows stretched slightly.
Immediately, the emperor turned his head to Xiao Yuzi and said: "Since you took over the position of the head of the Great Interior, many people feel that you can't do this errand well, but in all fairness, with you serving me, I am much more comfortable than before." ”
Mu Que stood in the hall and glanced up at Xiao Yuzi. He is indeed much younger than the previous chief of the inner house, and at the age of the emperor, he basically would not choose a eunuch who is too young to be the chief of the inner house.
The old have the advantage of being old, and they are still more able to guess the emperor's intentions than these young ones. I just don't know how the previous one was executed by the emperor.
Although it was said to the outside world that she was sick and died, Concubine De once mentioned it to herself, saying that it was too much.
As for how to say more, Mu Que didn't ask any more.
The emperor slowed down for a while before looking at Mu Que: "Old Seven, did you say that I executed the king of Chu in such a hurry this time?"
It turned out that I was looking for him to talk about it. Of course, it is impossible for Mu Que to say whether the emperor did something wrong or did it right, because no matter how you answer, it is not a good answer.
But fortunately, he had a good brain, so he saluted the emperor and said: "The foundation of the country is the law, and in front of the law, the father and the emperor can forget the love between father and son, which shows that you are a person with great righteousness, and your sons and daughters admire." ”
did not directly say whether it was right or wrong, but attributed this matter to the law of the Great Zhou, and it is estimated that Mu Que can say such a thing. However, the emperor was also very happy to hear it.
So he laughed, and pointed at Mu Que and said, "You, you can really please me, no wonder I have loved you for so many years." Then according to you, this King of Chu has been executed, Princess Chu, should I be more compassionate?"
In fact, in Mu Que's opinion, the kings of Chu are dead, what is the use of sympathizing with the princess of Chu, people can't come back to life. But he couldn't say such a thing to the emperor, because the emperor would ask himself like this, it was clear that he felt guilty about the king of Chu and couldn't compensate the king of Chu, so he could only make him feel better by compensating Yuan Xiuyu.
Now that he has thought about this clearly, Mu Que said that if he didn't take care of Princess Chu, he would be working against the emperor, which would make the emperor feel that he was a man with no heart and no responsibility.
So Mu Que only said to the emperor: "Erchen thinks that no matter what the imperial brother does, the imperial sister-in-law and the little son are innocent, and the father should be more compassionate." ”
"Well, that's what I thought, come on. The emperor beckoned Xiao Yuzi to come over: "You go to the treasury, allocate five hundred taels of gold to the princess of Chu, and then take a few horses of the fine silk that was paid tribute from Jiangnan before, and tell the princess of Chu that the king of Chu is gone, and everything in the palace needs money, but if it is related to Xiao Shizi, let her not be embarrassed, and directly make a list for the steward in the palace and let them take it." ”
Xiao Yuzi immediately responded and went to prepare.
Because the emperor gave Yuan Xiuyu so many things, those concubines in the harem of course refused to fall. But the emperor has already rewarded the silver money, so they can't do the same, so the last rewards are basically the best jewelry and jade.
Among them, the things given by Concubine De were the most valuable, and she also asked the eunuch to talk, only saying that now Princess Chu's mother is not in the palace, and if she wants to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am afraid it will be inconvenient, so let her treat herself as a concubine, and find her in time if there is something.
Lin Qingyu also rewarded Princess Chu with some jewelry. The emperor is still very fond of her on the surface during this time, and now no one knows that if she continues with this momentum, I am afraid that as long as she can give birth to a prince, she will not just be a Zhaorong, but will be promoted to the position of a concubine.
However, Lin Qingyu couldn't do such a thing as Concubine De to send a message to Yuan Xiuyu, after all, she was not in a good position.
And she really wanted to say that everyone thought that the emperor was pampering her, but I am afraid that she and Yuan Jinyu knew that it was not the case at all.
After the things arrived in Yuan Xiuyu's hands, Yuan Xiuyu sat in the room and checked the list, thinking about the words passed by the two in the palace, and only felt funny.
That is, he wouldn't think it was a big deal that the King of Chu died, and he didn't think about avenging the King of Chu or anything, otherwise, the emperor thought that if he did this, he would be grateful to him?
There is also Concubine De, she said that she will treat her as a concubine, I am afraid that as long as she runs into that palace a few more times, she will be able to find some reason to stop herself.
At the beginning, the King of Chu and Mu Que fought to the death, but now that the King of Chu is finally dead, Concubine De must be happy.
After reading the list, Yuan Xiuyu glanced at Xiao Shizi, who was sitting beside him, and put his hand in his hand, and then shook it gently, his expression was very soft: "Liancheng, look at it, fortunately, your father and king are dead, otherwise how can we mother and son get so many things." ”
Liancheng babbled, and he didn't understand what Yuan Xiuyu meant, so he could only smirk at Yuan Xiuyu.
Later, Yuan Xiuyu hugged Mu Liancheng and walked around the courtyard. Now that the flowers in the capital have bloomed, the air temperature has risen a lot, Yuan Xiuyu also smelled the fragrance of those flowers, and then said to Mu Liancheng with satisfaction: "There are fewer people in the house, it's really comfortable." ”
After Mu Liancheng took a nap, Yuan Xiuyu changed his clothes, found someone to prepare a carriage for himself, and headed towards the city gate.
She also received news that there was another traitor who would arrive in the capital today.
If she guessed correctly, it was Jiu Niang. As soon as she thought of Jiu Niang, Yuan Xiuyu felt that she was not enough to succeed and more than to lose.
Sending her to Dongcheng was obviously to kill Mu Ze and Yuan Jinyu by the way, but she didn't accomplish anything, and she didn't even escape King Ning's pursuit of her.
I just don't know, along the way, Mu Ze's people, what did the interrogation come out of? Jiu Niang's mouth is still strict, and she is kind to her, Yuan Xiuyu feels that she will not confess herself easily.
After arriving at the city gate, I waited for a while before waiting for Jiu Niang's prisoner car.
Yuan Xiuyu was in the carriage, watching from afar. When Jiuniang's prisoner car passed by, she lifted the curtain and looked at her carefully.
Originally, Jiu Niang's legs were not good, but now they are twisting at an abnormal angle, and her hair has become a mess and is piled up on her head.
Her clothes were also tattered and bloodstained, and many people covered their mouths and noses when they drove far away...... It's just that the smell on her body is too bad.
Today, Yuan Xiuyu came out, and the reason used was procurement, and they would come here just because they were "passing by".
Now her coachman is already persuading her: "Princess Niangniang, let's get out of here first, I heard that this is also a death row prisoner who rebelled." ”
Yuan Xiuyu did not put down the curtain in a hurry, but gave the maid next to her a look, and when those people took some rotten eggs and smashed the prisoner cart with rotten vegetable leaves, the maid shot a stone directly at the prisoner cart.
The stone smashed directly on Jiu Niang's body, which made her snort, and then turned her head, wanting to see who it was and shot at her.
Before, she really underestimated the people of Yuze's shop. They have already fled to such deep mountains and old forests, and they can still find themselves, and under the layers of siege, they have caught themselves.
Could it be that they didn't attack themselves all the way, and now that they have all returned to the capital, they have such thoughts?
But after turning her head, she was shocked, because it was not the person from the Yuze shop at all, but from the Chu Wangfu.
Along the way, she had already heard that after Mu Ze returned to Beijing, he directly sued the emperor, and the emperor was furious, and with the power of thunder, he beheaded the king of Chu.
Because the princess of Chu denounced the king of Chu, she became the last straw for the king of Chu, and because of this, she did not end up like the king of Chu.
