Mu Haoyu was extremely satisfied with the New Year's gift sent by his youngest daughter, even if his youngest daughter didn't send anything and a letter to report safety, he was very pleased, not to mention that he still had peace blessings for himself.

Thinking of his little daughter's intimacy, Mu Haoyu's heart warmed, and when he thought of his little daughter spending the New Year alone in a foreign land, his heart was sour and distressed.

"What can I send to Chao'er for the New Year?" Mu Haoyu almost forgot to ask about it, how could he not let his little daughter suffer.

"In the first half of the month, some were sent one after another, I don't know if Xi'er will use it?" This matter was done by Mu Jinming and Li Desheng together, and Mu Haoyu had seen the list of goods at that time, thinking that he was excited and forgot that there was such a thing.

It was the caravan that sent things over there, and Mu Jinming didn't have the courage to deliver supplies in large quantities now, and every qiē needed to be carried out in batches and times, so as to avoid being seen by people with intentions, thus exposing his location.

"That's good." Mu Haoyu calmed down, and he was still reluctant to put down the waist seal that his little daughter had embroidered for herself.

"Sue Sù Chao'er, there should be a big move in Mu Zhao after the year, let her act carefully." Mu Haoyu couldn't help frowning when he thought about it.

"The eldest prince wants to fight back?" Mu Jinming never recognized Mu Zhao and Mu Rong as his elder brothers, and he didn't have much brotherly affection for the two under the words and deeds of his father.

Mu Haoyu was not angry about the younger son calling the eldest son by the title of the eldest son, this was with his own acquiescence, he had already taught the younger son that there was only one of the closest siblings in this life, and the rest were strangers, and there should be an attitude towards strangers towards strangers.

"Mu Zhao is a narrow-minded person, Mu Rong slapped him in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and slapped him in the face, how could he give up and give up really doesn't care, this tone always has to be retrieved, and it is the same method." Mu Haoyu sneered in his heart, it was really a dog-eat-dog.

"The eldest prince is really painstaking." I really want to treat others the way they do, I really don't know if I'm too sure or arrogant. Mu Jin had a plan in his heart, and predicted how the eldest prince would move next, and secretly looked forward to the early arrival of that day.

The New Year's Festival should have the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival. Families light up the big red lanterns at the door, and the family sits around the table to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, chatting about the happiest things of the year, waiting for Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the arrival of the new year, when every household will light fireworks to add a festive color to the silent night.

The second prince's mansion is brightly lit, and the mansion is even more lively than in previous years, and many officials of all sizes who have taken refuge in the palace have come to the banquet with generous gifts. Celebrate the victory of the second prince, and the throne is just around the corner.

The second prince Mu Rong saw that there were so many officials who took refuge in him, and his faction was even more powerful than the big prince, and from time to time the glorious scene of his ascension to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme appeared in his mind, and he thought about the big prince who was forced to have no way out at that time. In order to live his fate, he had to kneel in front of himself and wagged his tail and beg for mercy, and that scene only had to think about it, not to mention Duotongtai.

The second prince Mu Rong drank a few more glasses happily for a while, coupled with the strong praise of the officials below, Mu Rong was already a little fluttering, there was a kind of joy that the throne was already in his pocket, and the smile on his face was so obvious and dazzling, that there were a few small officials who wanted to slap the horse. Congratulations in advance to the second prince on his succession.

Mu Rong couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, he didn't feel anything wrong, he could already see the dawn of victory beckoning to him.

The feast lasted until almost dawn, and the celebration of the whole night was the joy of the guests and hosts, and in the end no one was awake, and the bright future was in their minds. A lifetime of glory and wealth, to say that this is from the dragon's work, in the future will be the new emperor's confidant minister, the marquis worship is close in front of him.

"Idiot!" In the Great Prince's Mansion, although Mu Zhao's spies beside Mu Rong were exposed. There were still those who remained, and at this time the situation in the second prince's mansion on the night of the New Year's Festival was reported.

Mu Zhao had already expected the second child's complacency, but he never thought that Mu Rong would be so bold and invited half of the officials in the court to be happy all night.

Anyway, if Mu Rong doesn't do this, he will have to find a way to create public opinion, which will save him a lot of trouble.

Mu Zhao had long sneered at his younger brother, and he didn't like it, and he thought that Mu Rong would probably be the first prince to die stupidly.

Now that the result is undecided, he can't wait to show that he will be the one who inherits the throne, and it is too difficult not to be tabooed by his father, Mu Zhaozheng smiled happily, he wanted to see how his father would deal with the rebellious Mu Rong.

After the palace banquet, the number of people staring at the three princes suddenly decreased by seven layers, and only two or three eyeliners remained that did not remove, Mu Jinming suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, he was always stared at and couldn't do anything, and he had to pretend to be a different look, which was very tiring.

The New Year's holiday is only three days, three days later, it will be normal to go to the court normally, this day is the first time to go to the court in the New Year, because of the relationship of the New Year's Festival, the ministers have a faint joyful atmosphere of the festival on their faces, and the fright of the court before the bloodbath is no longer there, whether it is diluted by the joy of the festival, or it has nothing to do with the mentality that has been hung high, it is not difficult to think.

Regardless of which possibility it is, it shows one point, in popular terms, that is, remember to eat or not, thinking that the emperor's anger has long since disappeared, but they don't know that what awaits them is another storm, and it is also a pre-planned conspiracy.

In fact, Mu Zhao didn't want to use the hole cards in his hand to fight Mu Rong in a game, in order to solve the painful price paid by being caught off guard by being suppressed before. He held Mu Rong's handle in his hand, and originally wanted to take it out and press it in one fell swoop at the last critical moment, which would be the last straw that crushed Mu Rong's faction.

It's a pity that the plan was disrupted, and the eldest prince Mu Zhao had to think about his next move, and decided to give it a go, even if he didn't have his father's eyes now, he didn't want to see Mu Rong with a smug and arrogant look, always in front of him, it was time to let Mu Rong taste the same taste as he was at that time.

The early dynasty of the new year should not have any major events to play, and in previous years, they said two innocuous words to inspire the ministers to regain their spirits in the new year.

Who knows, the faction of the eldest prince, headed by Mu Zhao, even played the impeachment of the second prince Mu Rong and his officials, and also accepted bribes in the name of being corrupt and bending people's lives.

Before the words fell, there was an uproar. This, which one is this singing? How can there be an illusion that you have started all over again, as if the matter of the eldest prince's faction being involved in the matter of the previous year has once again surfaced in front of me, but now it is the other way around. It was the second prince faction who was involved, what is going on?

The ministers were amazed, their eyes were full of doubts, and they looked at the eldest prince standing at the front with the fold in his hand, and his mind was galloping.

As soon as the second prince Mu Rong heard that he had been bitten back, he immediately jumped out and slapped the eldest prince with an eye knife, "You don't want to spray people with blood!" "How can there be evidence of the guilt of the officials under his own command in just a few days, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!

Mu Haoyu's originally friendly face immediately turned yin, and his face was extremely ugly. The whole body was covered with the freezing cold.

Seeing that it was not good, the ministers hung their heads silently, wanting to minimize their sense of existence as much as possible, so as to avoid being affected by the pond fish, and the gun shot the first bird This point is not obvious to everyone.

"Bring it in." Mu Haoyu's cold eyes swept towards Mu Rong, who just wanted to open his mouth.

Mu Rong shuddered when he saw it. The hairs on his body stood on end, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat because of this, and he couldn't go up or down.

Mu Haoyu couldn't read it anymore after turning a few pages, stood up with a bang, threw the music in his hand on Mu Rong's face, and said angrily: "Look, what is this, my good son." That's how you think about me, you two brutes, and that's how you repay me for your expectations. ”

Mu Haoyu was furious, pointed at the eldest prince and the second prince who were kneeling on the ground, and scolded mercilessly: "I see that you all have pig brains, and all your little cleverness is used to deal with bloodline siblings. What is the use of me keeping you for my careful teaching! ”

As soon as the words fell, the pot exploded instantly, and the ministers were trembling and did not dare to speak out, only until the emperor's last sentence, and their hearts sank for a while. Look at how good this emperor is to abolish the two princes.

Some ministers were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and asked the emperor to open up the net, and then the ministers knelt down one after another to intercede for the two princes.

"Enough!" Mu Haoyu's face was gloomy and terrible, and he knocked over the tea cup on the imperial case in anger, and the ministers closed their mouths in recognition of each other.

"Intercession?" Mu Haoyu looked at the ministers below with a smile, "If you want to intercede for others, why don't you think about what you have done to bully the king!" ”

One sentence made the hearts of the ministers who pleaded for mercy tremble, but this fire burned to themselves all of a sudden, it seems that what the eldest prince played is true, so will it implicate himself?

At this time, everyone in the ministers was in danger, and they kept recalling whether they had done anything dangerous, so anxious that cold sweat broke out on the corners of the ministers' foreheads, but they didn't have time to take care of it, and they didn't dare to raise their hands to wipe it.

"Humph!" Mu Haoyu reacted coldly, "It seems that I believe in you too much." ”

The ministers' hearts suddenly tightened, waiting for the emperor's words, whether they would die or live today.

"Mu Zhao's request is immediately investigated thoroughly by the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out the moths that eat the emperor's food one by one, and one less I Weier is to ask." Mu Haoyu just took this opportunity to touch the intricately intertwined relationship network in the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, and what should be eliminated must not be left.

"Yes, the ministers will not disgrace their lives" Dali Temple Shangqing stepped forward to receive the decree, and secretly cursed in his heart, the two princes fought, why do they have to make things bigger, and what good end can they end up in front of the emperor, not being rejected by the emperor is already the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, and the final victim is indeed their ministers who love to be splinted.

It is about the two princes, and the emperor ordered a strict investigation, and there can be no sloppiness, which makes the officials of the criminal department who received the order a head and two big, these two are not easy to mess with.

"Mu Zhao and Mu Rong are not brothers, conniving at their subordinates to despise the Holy Hearing, and before the matter is clarified, they are confined to the mansion and take back their respective positions." Mu Haoyu then issued another holy decree, "All the officials who Mu Zhao participated in will be immediately dismissed from their official positions and taken into custody pending trial, and there will be no mistake in raiding the mansion and taking care of their families." ”

"Anyone who dares to intervene in this matter will be punished as a crime of treason, regardless of his official position." Mu Haoyu threw down this sentence and strode away angrily, leaving behind a courtier who was about to be frightened.

Mu Rong couldn't defend himself in the end and fight for a chance.

Seeing that the emperor left, Mu Zhao stood up from the ground, looked at Mu Rong on the opposite side with a sneer, and said slowly: "You also have today." The second prince also said this, and this time Mu Zhao returned it to the second prince in person.

Mu Rong's face was extremely ugly when he heard this, and he said angrily: "You madman, what evidence do you have to prove that I am the same as you!" Until now, Mu Rong was unwilling to admit that he had lost, and he had lost because of a moment of negligence.

"Well, we'll see." Mu Zhao looked teasing, didn't look at Mu Rong's distorted face, and left, anyway, his goal had been achieved, and he didn't have the character to talk to Mu Rong quickly.

"Damn!" Seeing Mu Zhao leave like no one, Mu Rong suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he was so angry that he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the main hall, he was now disgusted by his father because of this matter, and it was not good to make excessive moves.

The court experienced two unprecedented shocks, the number of officials arrested was the largest number in history, and it was also the strictest one, and the vacant positions in the court could not be counted on two hands, which shows how thoroughly the officialdom was purged this time.

The local officials involved in it did not know how shocking the government and the opposition had happened for the first time in the new year, until a few days later they were broken into their homes by a group of officers and soldiers with knives to massage them, and their minds were still blank, and before they could come out of the joyful atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, an unexpected disaster occurred.

With the emperor's words, no minister dared to risk the crime of killing his head to report to those local officials who had committed crimes, and now he is really in a whirlpool and cannot get out, no one dares to act rashly, and a bad one will really be used to sacrifice the law.

Those officials who had just taken refuge in the second prince before had bad luck, and whether they had committed crimes or not, they all belonged to the second prince's faction, and now the second prince's faction is under scrutiny, and no one can escape it.

The government and the opposition suddenly mourned all over the field, fearing that the next one would be their turn, and they would die but they would have to affect their wives and children at home, and some officials who had done bad things were so frightened that they were scared and fainted, and a dose of medicine that was tough on their bodies was taken care of, like those old ministers, Su Rili was very addicted to relying on the old and selling the old, and this time it was hard to check it down, and there were four or five old adults who were involved, and now even if they knelt and died outside the imperial study with their own merits, it was useless.

The building will collapse overnight, and the glory of many years will be ruined, and the family that should be full of children and grandchildren will also suffer, who let them stand in line so early, whether it is to support the second prince or the eldest prince, this time the bad luck is repeated, and no one is left behind.

Even if you have great ability, you can't go beyond the imperial power, the king wants the minister to die and have to die, this sentence is generally a metaphor for the loyal ministers who can't have the sacred heart, and now it's still this sentence, but the meaning has completely changed, the thing committed is the emperor's rebellion, and the person who touches it dies, thinking that he can rely on his previous conscientious work to serve the country, and it is simply a fool's dream to let the emperor fall leniently, but you can know how long the emperor has waited for this day, and he can give up lightly, and he didn't move you before, because it is not the time, and now the best opportunity has come, The sword that had already hung over everyone's heads was an auspicious day to drink blood at this moment.
