Chapter 553: Emperor's Heart
"Speaking of which, the reason why Mrs. Xian died suddenly was because she was accidentally victimized by a traitor.||For every two people who watch romance, there is an account registered on the Internet."
No one expected that Emperor Chu's words would change, and he actually sighed with sympathy, "Although the vicious-minded person has been ambushed now, the responsibility that should be taken is not over." ”
Anyway, he swept away somewhere in the temple.
The look was very flat, but it revealed a calm strength when it stared at someone.
Regarding the accident of his deceased wife, Mu Tianda is clear in his heart.
Although intellectually speaking, he also understands that there are many things that should not be angered.
But in the face of that cheap brother who was in the same vein as him, Mu Tianda really couldn't be completely calm, rational, not angry, and calmly.
After Mu Yongchao suddenly returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, he never did anything good except for blocking him from time to time.
Now, even his wife, who has been with him for half his life, has been killed by the daughter of that cheap brother.......
Thinking of this, Mu Tianda's impulse to rush directly to tear up Mu Yongchao when he first learned the truth now came up faintly and irrepressibly.
Emperor Chu looked at his face with anger and pain intertwined with forbearance, and sneered in his heart, and satisfaction flashed in his deep eyes.
There was still a look of pity and sympathy on his face, and he sighed empathetically, and suddenly stared at Mu Yongchao, who had lowered his head and his face had changed, and said coldly, "Mu Yongchao, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Mu Yongchao stood up nervously, he couldn't figure out what Emperor Chu meant by bringing up the old matter at this time, so he muttered for a long time before he spoke in shame, "Your Majesty, minister...... I'm sorry. ”
Emperor Chu's eyes swept away coldly, and he snorted coldly, "As the saying goes: the son is not the fault of the father." ”
"Although the murderer of Mrs. Mu has been punished, although you did not know about it in advance, it does not mean that you have no responsibility in this matter."
Well, the discord between Mu Tianda and Mu Yongchao's brothers is known to everyone in the capital.
However, the truth about Zhao Ziyue's sudden and unexpected death is not clear to so many people, and when they suddenly heard that Emperor Chu was so righteous and stern in reprimanding Mu Yongchao at the banquet, many people began to have thoughts in their hearts.
However, of course, these people do not include the party Mutianda.
Zhao Ziyue has been dead for a long time, if Emperor Chu really wanted to do something, he would have already attacked Mu Yongchao, why bother to delay until now.
Now that Emperor Chu is bringing this matter out again, he is afraid that he has other plans.
Mu Tianda frowned, guessing in his heart.
But after thinking about it, I can't guess why.
The king's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor's mind is really not something that his courtiers can grasp.
Mu Yongchao, who was suddenly reprimanded by Emperor Chu, stood bent down, and looked more and more trembling in front of everyone's eyes.
Emperor Chu swept his eyes and took in the expressions of everyone in the hall, and then said coldly, "You are not good at teaching, so that the murderer made an irreparable mistake." ”
Everyone was in an uproar for a while, and they all speculated about what Mrs. Mu's death had to do with Mu Yongchao.
Mu Yongchao lowered his head, his face had become extremely unnatural, and his shoulders trembled imperceptibly.
"Your Majesty is right, the minister really did not fulfill his responsibilities."
Emperor Chu snorted, his cold gaze was heavy, and the emperor's coercion immediately made Mu Yongchao's face pale, and he stood humbly, but he was very cramped and restless.
"Although you have some responsibility in this matter, you can't be blamed for everything."
Just when everyone was confused by Emperor Chu's misty attitude, he said slowly, "In this way, as a punishment, from today onwards, you will be demoted by one level and fined for one year." ”
"Can you accept my decision?"
The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention that Emperor Chu just demoted him by one level and fined him some silver.
Mu Yongchao immediately made a look of shame and gratitude, and said again and again, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Chu smiled coldly, waved his hand, and motioned for him to sit down and ignore him.
Mu Tianda still had a slightly calm face, waiting for Emperor Chu's further actions.
On such a joyful occasion as a banquet, he brought out the old things with great fanfare, and thundered and rained lightly, symbolically reprimanded and punished Mu Yongchao, Mu Tianda did not believe that Emperor Chu had no other backhand.
This matter has just begun, and Emperor Chu naturally has a follow-up move.
However, he deliberately coldened it, making the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing and tense to show deterrence, and then said slowly, "I don't know what Mu Shangshu thinks of my decision just now?" ”
How is it?
The astringency and pain lingered, Mu Tianda felt slightly unhappy in his heart, who would be willing to turn out the wound again on such an occasion to show others.
But that person is the high-ranking Ninety-Five, and it doesn't matter how he feels.
The important thing is how the person above wants him.
After his mind turned, he said slightly respectfully and unhurriedly, "Your Majesty has made a decision, and the minister has no objections." ”
Emperor Chu's expression eased, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his respectful and grateful appearance, and glanced at Mu Yongchao coldly, before he withdrew his gaze, but said, "Mrs. Xian suddenly had an accident, and Mu Shangshu has been separated from heaven and man forever, and I also deeply regret it." ”
Mu Tianda only bowed his head respectfully and listened silently, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun En, no matter what he thinks in his heart, it doesn't matter now.
Emperor Chu cast a faint glance at him, as if he was silent for a moment, before making a decision, "From today onwards, I will give Mrs. Mu Zhao's second rank an order." ”
Everyone was stunned for a long time, and they didn't know how to react.
However, the reaction of these people is naturally not important, what Emperor Chu wants is Mu Tianda's reaction.
While demoting the officials of Mu Yongchao, he raised Zhao Ziyue's rank.
This is a hint to Mu Tianda that he still has a chance to go further.
Otherwise, there would not have been a sudden addition of a dead man's second-grade lady.
Mu Tianda's elegant face seemed to change color slightly, but his eyes were dim and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.
It's just that he looks calm on the surface.
But in my heart, I faintly felt a little uneasy.
I always feel that Emperor Chu is acting strangely and undisciplined today, and he shows his grace for a while, which only means .......
Even if it is just a simple sealing of the second grade, the signal released by this matter is not simple.
His brows frowned slightly, and his thoughts changed several times, but it was only an instant, and he bowed his hand to Emperor Chu to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Even if there is only one false title, it is also a kind of honor, no matter what Mu Tianda thinks in his heart, he can only show respect and gratitude on his face.
degraded and sealed, and everyone's eyes became obscure.
Just when everyone thought that this matter would stop there, Emperor Chu said again, "I heard that Mu Shangshu's family affairs have always been taken care of by Ling Qianjin?" ”
Mu Tianda was stunned, and his heart was vigilant at the same time.
This gossip and homely attitude happened in front of everyone, between the king of a country and a courtier, no matter how you look at this situation, it makes people feel terrified.
Mu Tianda didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he became more and more cautious when he answered, "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl is indeed responsible for taking care of the trivial matters in the minister's mansion." ”
A vague thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and Mu Tianda blurted out almost immediately, "However, now that the dog has become a family, all kinds of trivial matters in the house have gradually been taken over by his daughter-in-law. ”
Emperor Chu nodded, his eyes were deep, and the light in his deep eyes flickered but he couldn't see his emotions clearly, "Governing the country and the family is leveling the world, it can be seen that the mundane affairs in this mansion cannot be underestimated." ”
Mu Tianda could only agree, "Your Majesty is right. ”
"The population of the minister's mansion is simple, and although the daughter-in-law's qualifications are dull, she gradually took over and now takes care of the housekeeping in an orderly manner."
His words sounded like he was humble and seemed to show Emperor Chu something, but in fact, when he realized something from the flash of inspiration in his mind just now, he had already quickly thought of a way to secretly refuse.
Mu Tianda's hinted gesture was made.
It's a pity that he doesn't know much about the high heavenly son in front of him.
Emperor Chu had already made a decision in his heart, how could he allow him to refuse to pass the buck.
"It's always good for young people to have a lot of experience."
Emperor Chu took a sip of tea lightly with a cup, glanced at Mu Tianda with half lifted his eyelids, and said in a casual tone, "Although the population of your mansion is simple, it is not simple to talk about it seriously. ”
Mu Tianda's heart sank, listening to His Majesty's tone, did he have to meddle in his housework?
But he couldn't figure out what was in his mansion worthy of such "enthusiasm" from the king of Emperor Chu
Concern.
Today's palace banquet is a Hongmen banquet.
The thought turned, Mu Tianda lowered his head slightly, silent.
When Emperor Chu saw that he didn't answer, he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.
However, he snorted coldly in his heart, and did not take Mu Tianda's silent and resistant attitude too seriously.
What he has to do, no one can stop.
"There is Mrs. Mu to serve, there are children, and there are grandchildren to be raised in the future, that is, Aiqing, if you have a headache and brain fever, there is also a lack of people around you to ask for warmth."
The corners of Emperor Chu's lips raised slightly, looking like a faint smile, he looked at Mu Tianda thoughtfully, and sighed, "Nuoda's mansion can't be chaotic and unorganized. ”
Speaking of which, he made it very clear that the point was over.
However, he said these words so plainly that none of the people present who had ears could understand his extraneous sound.
Mu Tianda originally had a vague guess in his heart, but when he really heard him make such a straightforward pick, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
His wife died less than a year ago, and this high king wanted to "rule the country and the family and level the world"
The great doctrine was ...... to the people in his house.
But as soon as he is a civil servant and a clear stream, what place is there worthy of such a dignified emperor to guard against thieves?
couldn't figure it out, Mu Tianda temporarily put aside this question that made his heart sharp.
After being silent for a while, Mu Tianda had a white face, and after several deliberations in his heart, he finally spoke tactfully, "Your Majesty is compassionate and loving, and the minister is very grateful; It's just that every time the minister thinks about his deceased wife, he always feels that her voice is still there. ”
"Besides, the trivial matters in the minister's mansion are taken care of by both the daughter-in-law and the mother, and the minister feels very relieved."
So, if you find a hostess or something, you won't have to ask Your Majesty to be so "enthusiastic"
