Chapter 258: Relatives
When Mu Yunting heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
Although the reputation of the local officials of the state is not under his jurisdiction, Xu Shi, who is the governor of the state, is also his subordinate, and now, Su Congxu threatens to impeach Xu Shi in front of him, is he knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, or is there something else hidden?
Su Congxu is the elder brother of the Su family and Mu Yunting's nominal uncle, but Xu Shi is Xu Youze's son.
Mu Changyuan was also a little embarrassed.
Xu You is a relative of the original Wu family, and Su Congxu is his rightful brother-in-law, no matter which side he helps, he will be pushed to the cusp.
Su Congxu seemed to have expected the attitude of the father and son, and said calmly: "I naturally know that you father and son are very embarrassed, so I don't have to ask you to stand on my side, you just need to remain neutral at that time." ”
He knew that over the years, Mu Yunting had been very close to the Xu Mansion because of the relationship between Xiao Wu, and if he rashly impeached Xu Shi, Mu Yunting would definitely not sit idly by.
As long as the Mu family's father and son don't interfere, to be precise, as long as Mu Yunting doesn't say anything, he must be sure that Xu Shi will be charged and pull him down from the position of the governor of Bingzhou.
Mu Changyuan pinched his brows and glanced at Mu Yunting.
Mu Yunting cleared his throat and said: "Uncle, there are two sides to everything, you only saw Xu Shi's unruliness and unruly, the fish and the people, but you didn't see the peace on the border in the past two years, although Xu Shi is a civil official, he is also a rare talent who leads the troops to fight." At present, the three states seem to be calm, but in fact, they are not peaceful, and they may cause war at any time. ”
Su Congxu's face was full of displeasure: "Hongyuan, then according to what you say, can he Xu Shi be able to do whatever he wants from now on?" Uncle, although I haven't made any contributions in my life, and I can't talk about doing my best to Daliang, but I will never let such a person defile my Daliang's official authority, and my uncle is here today. It's just for the sake of our two families. Come and tell you in advance, above the court, if you protect that Xu Shi, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. ”
"Uncle. I'm not trying to protect Xu Shi. I just feel that this time will pull him down from the position of the governor of the state. It's too out of place, and right now, what we have to do is to stabilize the dynasty. Pay close attention to every move in the Western Regions. Mu Yunting said unrelentingly.
He is the general department of the three states of Jingjing, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the border of Daliang, and he naturally knows the situation of the officials of the three states well, although Xu Shi has a bad reputation, but he has been the prefect for two years, and the Western Regions has not bargained for anything on the side of the state, but has suffered a lot of hidden losses from Xu Shi, and he is very relieved of the state.
Therefore, whenever someone reported Xu Shi's various bad deeds to him, he always laughed it off, and at most sent someone to send a letter to warn Xu Shi.
Xu Shi noticed Mu Yunting's connivance with him, and he only thought it was for the sake of the two families, and he always changed his offense, and changed his offense again, so that his reputation naturally became worse and worse.
After a long time, no one told him about Xu Shi.
Mama Xu cautiously stepped forward to refill the water, looked at Mu Changyuan with deep meaning, Ying Ying retreated, Mu Changyuan understood, and quietly followed out.
He came directly from Lixiangyuan, and before he saw Su Congxu, he had not seen Su Congxu, so he was also confused about Su Congxu's intention.
Mama Xu covered the curtain of the door, stood under the porch and said in a low voice: "Master, Madam asked the slave maid to come over and tell you, the reason why General Su wants to impeach Xu Shi is because Xu Shi forcibly took back the 100 acres of fertile land purchased by General Su in Bingzhou, if you can persuade Xu Shi to return the fertile land, maybe the matter will be over." ”
Mama Xu knew that because Mama Yang was poisoned at the garden party, Mu Changyuan was annoyed by the Su family, and the Su family knew that she was at a loss, and she couldn't pull her face to accompany her, so she had to tell Mama Xu to come over and sort things out, so that Mu Changyuan's father and son could act conveniently.
In any case, the Su family and the Mu family are both in-laws, and if they turn their faces for this matter, it is always not worth it.
Mu Changyuan came to his senses, turned around and entered the house, and said quietly: "This matter is very important, my brother has to think twice, that Xu Shi has been in the state for two years, and his local connections have long been intertwined, and there is the protection of his father Xu Youze in the court, relying on his brother alone, it is really difficult to participate in him, if he is not good, he has to be charged with slandering the court officials, it is better to send someone to collect enough evidence before discussing." ”
As he spoke, he quietly shook his head towards Mu Yunting.
Mu Yunting understood, no longer squeaked, just buried his head in tea.
"Don't worry, I will definitely collect the evidence, I hope it doesn't involve your Mufu." Su Congxu saw that the father and son had their own words, and neither of them agreed with him, so he got up and left angrily.
After Su Congxu left, Mu Changyuan told Mu Yunting about Xu Shi's forcible repossession of the Su family's good land, and frowned: "Erlang, if your Uncle Su really impeaches Xu Shi, we will inevitably not be involved, I think you still send someone to tell Xu Shi and let him return the Su family's land!" ”
Mu Yunting said without thinking: "Father, we haven't investigated this matter clearly, how can we let Xu Shi retreat lightly, if Uncle Su's land is illegally occupied, he will naturally have to retreat, Xu Shi has rarely experienced the people's feelings, and the court naturally has to support it." ”
"Erlang, you are confused, what Su Congxu said is your uncle, no matter whether the Su family's land is legal or illegal, you have to let Xu Shi return, and at the moment it is the most important thing to settle the matter." Mu Changyuan frowned and said, "As the saying goes, if people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, as long as everything does not involve our Mu family, it doesn't matter who he is!" ”
"How can that work?" Mu Yunting immediately refused, "Uncle Su's land in Bingzhou, I will send someone to investigate, and if it is occupied by improper means, I will never tolerate it." ”
"You, you ......" Mu Changyuan suddenly felt helpless, "That's your uncle!" ”
How could the General's Mansion be so easy to offend.
What's more, Su Congxu is the uncle of Dalang Mu Yunche and Wulang Mu Yunqi, and he is not Mu Yunting's uncle. In contrast, Mu Yunting, as the prince of Mufu, should envelop the general's mansion for the sake of his future future.
Mu Yunting got up and looked at Mu Changyuan, and said seriously: "Father, there is no father and son in the imperial court, let alone an uncle. ”
The father and son parted unhappily.
Mu Changyuan was a little depressed.
He understands Su Congxu, if Xu Shi doesn't give in, Su Congxu will definitely impeach Xu Shi, and when the time comes. Their Mu family's situation is really embarrassing.
Don't wait for him to get up. Mama Xu lifted the curtain and walked in, and said in a low voice; "Master, Madame is waiting for you in the house, you better go back to the house and rest!"
Mu Changyuan realized that the time was not early. Thinking that Aunt Tian was still waiting for him in Lixiangyuan. So he lifted his feet and walked out. He said coldly: "Let Madame rest!" I'm going to Lixiangyuan tonight. ”
"Master, tonight, you should go back to your room tonight." Mama Xu reminded in a low voice. "Master, you forgot, there are rules in the house, and the ...... every month"
Without waiting for Mama Xu to finish speaking, Mu Changyuan coldly interrupted her: "I didn't set these rules, why should I abide by them?" ”
"But the old man ......" Mama Xu was speechless for a while, watching Mu Changyuan walk away, but she was helpless.
"Let him go, it's better for him to stay in Lixiangyuan for the rest of his life and never come back." Su Shi's face flushed with anger.
A room full of people dare not come out.
Gong Si had been waiting at the door of the study for a long time, and when he saw Mu Yunting coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Shizi, there is a letter from Youzhou." ”
The two then entered the study.
After reading the letter, Mu Yunting stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, silent for a long time, Situ Kong married the daughter of the Great Khan of the second largest tribe in the Western Regions, the lord of Zitan County, which undoubtedly strengthened his position in the Western Regions, and now His Royal Highness Ubu is missing, and the Great Khan of Bazhu died of illness, so that the power of the Western Regions is in Situ Kong's hands.
It seems that this battle with the Western Regions is inevitable.
It's only a matter of time.
Mu Yunting pinched his brows, now Daliang is a plate of loose sand, if the big war comes, who knows what chaos will happen.
"Shizi, is there any change in the Western Regions?" Gong Si asked.
"Make arrangements, let's leave for Youzhou tomorrow." Mu Yunting said in a deep voice, "At the same time, order all the people under your command to enter a state of readiness and closely monitor every move on the Western Regions. ”
"Yes." Gong Si's expression froze, and he asked again, "Shizi, Yu Mutou and Mama Yang were all sent to the official mansion by Mrs. Tai, you see, what do they do?" ”
"Since the two of them are in, don't come out again." Mu Yunting said casually, "I don't care who is behind them, this time I will treat it as killing chickens and showing it to monkeys." ”
It is to let those who have ill intentions know that if anyone dares to poison him, none of them will want to live.
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." Gong Si immediately took the order and left.
When Mu Yunting returned to the house, it was already midnight.
The person in the bed is already asleep.
He lightly lifted the red silk quilt embroidered with the pattern of many sons and blessings, lay in, touched the soft body in the quilt, couldn't help but take her over, hugged her in his arms, through the moonlight flowing in from outside the bed tent, quietly looked at her face, she slept very deeply, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were presented in front of him without concealment, as if for the first time he found that the woman in his arms was actually extremely beautiful, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but he saw her on weekdays, I never realized it.
I wanted to wake her up, but I couldn't bear it.
I wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, thinking of the little person in her womb, I was excited, so I reached into her placket and stroked her still flat lower abdomen, presumably this little person was also sleeping soundly in it!
Touching her smooth jade-like skin, he couldn't help but throb in his heart, and he lowered his head and kissed her without thinking......
Mama Chu was lying on the kang in the suite, listening to the muffled panting sound vaguely coming from the back room, and suddenly made a big red face, she couldn't break in recklessly to stop people!
He simply covered his head with the quilt and almost held his breath.
Shen Qingli was sleeping in a daze, feeling that someone was kissing her, when she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Yunting pulling her clothes, and suddenly remembered that Mama Chu was still asleep outside, so she shyly pushed his hand away, he was still real!
Before she could speak, Mu Yunting whispered in her ear: "Don't make trouble, I won't go in, I just want to hug you like this." ”
……
Early the next morning, when Shen Qingli woke up, the people around her were no longer there, she moved, felt tired for a while, and was fooled, thinking that he was really just hugging her, but she didn't expect it to be like this, although he did not do anything to her, but it was more tiring than what he did.
Looking at the large and small lip prints on his body, Shen Qingli blushed, he obviously deliberately left so many marks on her body......
Taozhi heard the sound of Shen Qingli getting up, so he lifted the curtain and walked in, holding the bed tent, and said, "Young lady, the prince took Gong Si away before dawn, and he went to Youzhou. ”
"Didn't they say when they would be back?" Shen Qingli was a little surprised, why did he leave so suddenly?
"The prince didn't say when he would come back, but just told Mu An to bring the Chi lady in the back street of the alley into the house, saying that she would let her give the young lady a baby." Momozhi said, a smile rising at the corner of her mouth.
When the prince went to Youzhou this time, it was impossible not to see Shen Ke.
Since the young lady intends to send herself to Shen Ke's side, then this matter should also be concluded!
"Didn't Chi Niangzi open a medical clinic in the back street of the alley? Why did you invite her in? Shen Qingli was a little helpless, she was pregnant, not sick, so she really didn't need to go to such great lengths to ask for a doctor.
"Young lady, the person who the prince wants to invite can naturally be invited." Momozhi smiled lightly, "The prince also cares about the young lady!" The slave maid was about to ask the young lady how to arrange the residence of the Chi lady. ”
"Chi Niangzi is not a subordinate, so naturally she can't live in the backyard, so you can clean up two guest rooms in the inner garden for her to live in!" Shen Qingli asked again, "Where is she now?" ”
"At Mrs. Tai's place, Mrs. Tai just sent someone to invite her to Muying Hall." Momoeda replied hurriedly.
"Oh." Shen Qingli nodded, turned around and sat in front of the dresser, Taozhi hurriedly took a comb to comb her hair, Ah Hua hurriedly walked in, brought in a gust of cold wind, and reported with a happy face: "Young lady, the eldest lady and the second lady are coming back soon, everyone is waiting in Muying Hall, Mrs. Tai said to let you prepare and go over, the soft sedan is already waiting outside." ”
"The eldest sister and the second sister haven't come back since they returned to the door!" Shen Qingli smiled lightly, "Today we are back together, grandmother may be so happy!" ”
"Xu heard that the young lady was pregnant, so she came back to congratulate her." Taozhi smiled proudly, "After all, it's the aunt of the in-laws, and the young lady is pregnant, and they are all happy!" (To be continued......)
PS: I smoked in the background last night, and I didn't enter the backstage for more than an hour, sorry! There will be a change later, to make up for yesterday's.
