When Mu Hibiscus woke up, it was already the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mother, mother! Niangniang is awake, go get meat porridge! Chun'er instructed Gong Dao.

Mu Furong only felt that her forehead was still aching, and the thoughts in her head couldn't be sorted out for a while: "...... last night"

"Niangniang, Doctor Suyan has instructed, let you rest well, put other things down for the time being, and take care of your body is the most important thing."

"What do you mean?" Mu Furong sensed the hidden meaning in Chun'er's tone, "What happened after I fainted last night, did the hall master say something?" ”

The hall master said...... He said......"

"Even if you say it, this palace still has this kind of bearing ability."

Chun'er lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mu Furong's eyes: "What does the hall master mean...... Temporarily remove you from all positions in the parish and cease all your duties and powers to transfer personnel. Empress...... The hall master is still a ...... who cares about your face."

"Huh!" Mu Furong laughed sadly, "Face, how can Shen Yuyue care about other people's faces." If it hadn't been for Su Yan last night, I'm afraid that if I didn't die, I would have lost half my life, not to mention that it was as simple as just cutting off my position. How he wanted to punish me, I didn't complain at all, but I was really unwilling, Gu Tianyu's slut didn't die, and let me pay Xu Cheng! Mu Furong gritted her teeth with hatred for Gu Tianyu, and she didn't hide her dislike for her at all.

"Niangniang, Gu Protector is the main protector of the hall, why do you ......" Chun'er persuaded worriedly.

Mu Furong restrained the hatred on her face and said lightly: "This palace knows that since an assassination attempt failed, it has lost the opportunity, and it is difficult to succeed even if it is impulsive, and it is indispensable to make Su Yan unhappy." Don't worry, Bengu won't do such a stupid thing. I want to lurk in Mengyue Tower back then, and endure the cynicism of Yan Lifang for three whole years, Bengong didn't survive it, and I also saw with my own eyes that the cheap life was better than death. Now that the hall master's plan is about to be completed, this little patience is still available in this palace, I will wait until the time comes, how will they protect her! ”

"Smack", the slender tail nails were broken, and a vicious smile appeared on Mu Hibiscus's beautiful face.

Above the court, the emperor looked at the folds presented with a gloomy face. The ministers below were even more angry and didn't dare to breathe, and after a long time, the emperor spoke: "Old Five." ”

Huo Mingkang saw Huo Mingtai glaating at him, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"The son is here." Huo Mingkang replied respectfully, but he was worried in his heart, last night he and Concubine Liu went to the lake after attending the poetry fan conference, but on the way he found that the fiancée of the second emperor brother was abused, he was naturally overjoyed, and sent someone to secretly make the matter known to everyone, he did it secretly, no one would know that he did it on purpose. Even if the second emperor brother knew that he did it on purpose, there could be no evidence, but why was his father's face so gloomy, shouldn't he teach the prime minister a lesson to his daughter not to be strict? Why did you call him?

"I ask you, what did you do yesterday on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Back to my father's words, yesterday the son went to participate in the poetry fan conference, made a lively scene, and then went to the river to enjoy the lanterns, and saw that it was late, so he went back to the house to rest. Nowhere else. ”

"Oh?" There was no joy or anger in Huo Yuanzhi's tone, which made Huo Mingkang's heart rise, "Then do you know that last night, thirteen people drowned on the moat?" Eight of them were also children of the nobility. ”

Huo Mingkang looked up in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard. How could so many people be drowned? Last night, when he was swimming in the river to enjoy the lanterns, Concubine Liu thought that there were many noisy people on the side of the river, so he went to a place with few people to enjoy the lanterns according to her wishes, and just happened to meet the quasi-second imperial concubine who was humiliated by a beggar. During this period, someone said that there was an urgent matter, but the beautiful woman was in her arms, and the side concubine was coquettish, how could he be willing to leave, so he sternly drank the person away, and ordered no one to disturb. Last night's overindulgence, I got up late today, and hurried to the court, and the next person wanted to tell me something, but was blocked by his own sentence "What is there to discuss in the next court". didn't expect such a big thing to happen last night, Huo Mingkang was really annoyed.

"Looks like you really don't know." Huo Yuanzhi said in a deep voice, and then became angry, "Are all the people in your house dead!" None of them notified you of such a big event?! ”

Huo Mingkang knew that he was in trouble, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Father, the emperor is angry!" Father's anger! When he was swimming in the lake last night, Erchen accidentally blew the wind, so he went home early to sleep. Concubine Liu was worried about her son's body, so she ordered her subordinates not to disturb, so that the subordinates didn't have time to report. ”

"Ridiculous! Such a big thing can be blocked by a mere concubine, you should be confused, aren't you! Something so big happened, and you, as the head of the patrol battalion, didn't even know what to say?! I handed over the patrol battalion to you, how did you vouch for me! Now, on such a grand and festive day, because the security measures of the patrol camp are not enough, the rescue is not timely, and 13 lives are lost in vain, which leads to resentment and panic in Beijing. The safety of the Son of Heaven cannot be guaranteed, how can you make the people of the world believe that you have the ability to govern the country! Huo Yuanzhi said that, and smashed the impeachment of Huo Mingkang on Huo Mingkang's face.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, it exploded like a thunderbolt on the court. The emperor's last sentence, doesn't it mean that he has long been interested in passing on the throne to the five princes?

"Father!" Huo Mingkang knows that the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to shirk responsibility, so he can only admit his mistake and then take measures to save it, "It's all the son's fault, the son's minister begs his father to give his son a chance to remedy, and the son's minister will definitely be able to deal with this time properly." And promise, there will never be another similar thing in the future! ”

"Your Majesty! The minister believes that the loss of thirteen human lives has to be taken seriously. If the five princes continue to be in charge of the patrol camp, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in Beijing will be unstable. "The head of the household, Lu Anxi, admonished.

Lu Shangshu's words are wrong, since the day when the five princes took charge of the patrol camp, there have been few cases of stealing and abduction in Beijing, and the ability of the five princes is obvious to all. Yesterday's fact was a natural disaster, and it is really not up to human power to decide, and I am afraid that if someone is in charge of the patrol battalion, there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes. This alone denies the ability of the five princes, I'm afraid it's too arbitrary! Dingguo Houyi took office, that is, the uncle of the fifth prince retorted.

"Dingguohou, Lu Shangshu did not deny the ability of the five princes. It's just that Lao Chen and Lu Shangshu have the same opinion, in order to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible, it is better to temporarily remove the fifth prince from the post of being in charge of the patrol battalion. When the time is over, let the five princes take over again. Murong Yizi spoke, ostensibly saying that he would withdraw temporarily, but as long as the patrol battalion was taken from the hands of the five princes, he would never let him have a chance to take over again.

"If it is as the prime minister said, wouldn't it be to admit to the world that this incident is the dereliction of duty of the five princes, so the face of the royal family must be damaged, and the prestige of the heavenly family cannot be lost, and the minister does not understand how the prime minister is attentive to this. Besides, it was originally a mistake made by his subordinates, and he didn't report it, and the five princes didn't know about it, so it was really inappropriate to punish the five princes. Yi retorted immediately after taking office.

For a while, the two factions in the court who supported the five princes and the second prince respectively argued one after another, and whether they should remove the five princes from the post of being in charge of the patrol battalion launched a fierce debate, with sharp words and-for-tat, Huo Yuanzhi watched them quarrel like this, although he had already roughly known which ministers the second and fifth princes were co-opting, but he really saw them defending their own masters, completely ignoring that when he was the master of the world, Huo Yuanzhi was angry.

"Shut up!" When the emperor drank this, everyone who was originally in a hot mood quieted down together, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Huo Yuanzhi glanced at the people with different thoughts, and said sternly: "Yesterday's drowning incident occurred, and the patrol battalion was unable to rescue it, resulting in the death of thirteen people. The Fifth Prince's supervision was not effective, and he was removed from his position in charge of the patrol battalion, and ...... looked at the people of the Five Princes' faction who looked disappointed below, as well as the officials of the Second Prince's faction with a look of anticipation and joy, Huo Yuanzhi paused and continued, "The Seventh Princes will take over. ”
