There is still a distance from the gate of the palace to the Chengqian Palace, today's Mu Yaotian feels that he has walked this road for too long, and everyone can see other people pointing and talking with the rest of his eyes all the way, before his life, the last dynasty has never encountered such a thing in these years, and the anger in his heart is burning madly.

Quickly walked to the door of the Chengqian Palace, Ling Ran also came over, with gauze wrapped around his forehead and gauze on his right palm, Mu Yaotian looked at him with some embarrassment, after all, people were injured in their own mansion, after saluting Ling Ran, Mu Yaotian said, "Is His Royal Highness the Prince's injury serious?" It was all the minister's dereliction of duty, and the minister was very sad. ”

"General Mu doesn't need to blame himself, there are many people at the birthday banquet, and it is inevitable that there will be a little accident, so pay more attention to it when you hold the banquet next time."

Mu Yaotian bent down and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is educated." ”

"How is Miss Muta? Did it hurt? ”

"The eldest brother himself is injured, and he still has time to care about the eldest lady of the Mu family?" Ling Mo came suddenly and said with a smile on his face.

Ling Ran only replied: "Not to mention my fair lady, the gentleman is good, Miss Mu was also frightened at the scene at that time, and it is common sense for me to care." By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate the third brother, my father wants to marry Miss Mu Er, who is beautiful and fragrant, it is really gratifying, and the third brother will soon be able to hold the beauty. ”

Mu Yaotian said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor only mentioned it in the palace and did not make an order, will this be too early to say?" ”

There are many concubines in the emperor's harem, and there are many sons. Mu Yaotian has never been very fond of participating in this princely dispute, although the crown prince and the third prince have been walking around Mufu recently, Mu Yaotian has always maintained the golden mean. The emperor opened Chrysostom at the birthday banquet and said that he would point out Mu Jinge to the three princes, but he did not give an order, who knows if this is the emperor's casual words, or if he is sincere, or just a trial? Before it was confirmed, Mu Yaotian would naturally not be inclined to Ling Mo because of this, so as not to provoke the responsibility of the courtiers and the prince to form a party.

"I'm talking too much. Enter the temple. ”

The courtiers stood neatly in the hall. Waiting for the emperor to come.

Soon, the emperor appeared in the palace, and the courtiers shouted long live.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

Gonggong Chen's slender voice circled around the hall.

"The minister has something to do." Zheng Yuanhua, the secretary of Dali Temple, stood up.

"Aiqing, please tell me something."

"Yesterday was General Mu's mother's birthday banquet. I really shouldn't be involved in this one. It was a happy event. The emperor came to congratulate him in person, but because General Mu neglected to supervise, the emperor was shocked. The crown prince was injured, and such an offense to the holy face had to be investigated, and the emperor was asked to take it away. ”

Then several ministers stood up and said that they wanted to refer to Mu Yaotian, and of course, Prime Minister Du Cheng was no exception, and he also opened his mouth to visit Mu Yaotian.

It's not that the emperor hasn't thought about this problem, but he hasn't thought about how to deal with this matter, so he looked at Mu Yaotian and said, "General Mu, do you have anything to say?" ”

Mu Yaotian immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, what happened yesterday really didn't expect that the emperor was frightened, the prince was injured, and the minister was negligent, so he didn't dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness, and the minister was willing to accept the guilt and be punished." ”

This is also a decision made by Mu Yaotian after thinking twice on the way to the palace, he knows very well that it will definitely be a hard battle when he arrives in the court today, and Prime Minister Du Cheng's party will definitely not let him go lightly in the court. Over the years, he has also understood the emperor's temperament, and the way of the king does not want any minister to sit alone, so the emperor uses him to contain Prime Minister Du Cheng, and then uses Prime Minister Du Cheng to contain him. And the emperor is very reluctant for others to despise his authority, Prime Minister Du Cheng will not let go of such a good opportunity to participate in him, of course, he will not be the first to stand up, even if Prime Minister Du Cheng is the last to stand up, the emperor will think that those who visit Yaotian are all Du Cheng Prime Minister's party members, so he must show weakness, so that the emperor feels that Du Cheng's rights are constantly improving, if Mu Yaotian's crime is cured again, Du Cheng's power will continue to expand, so this answer is the best.

Prime Minister Du didn't expect Mu Yaotian to not defend himself at all, so he pleaded guilty, and this matter was too easy to handle.

Many courtiers participated, it was impossible for the emperor not to punish the crime, and the people of Prime Minister Du Cheng's party were waiting for the emperor's decree to punish the crime with joy.

The emperor was silent for a while, straightened up, and said, "Third prince, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Ling Ran stood up and said: "Although yesterday was General Mu's mother's birthday, Sheng Guo also has customs, the birthday star is big, it was a bit thrilling at that time, General Mu also escorted him as fast as possible, in the end, his father was still frightened, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured, the safety of his father and the prince is related to the future of the country, there must be no mistakes, this matter is in the Mu Mansion, General Mu naturally can't escape responsibility." The most important thing is whether General Mu can find out about this matter, it is just an accident, or someone did it on purpose, if it is an accident, it can be big or small, the most worrying thing is that someone did it deliberately, knowing that his father was sitting in the closest place to the stage, but the stage collapsed, this kind of person must be arrested and severely punished. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"What the third prince said is extremely true, General Mu, have you carefully surveyed the scene?"

Mu Yaotian didn't plan to tell the matter of the investigation at home, after all, this is the matter of the back house, and if he said it in front of the courtiers, his face would be embarrassed, and people would only say that Mu Yaotian couldn't even manage his family, but at this point, it seemed that it would not work if he didn't say it.

So Mu Yaotian said slowly: "Your Majesty, in addition to accepting the crime today, the minister also wants to ask the emperor to punish the minister for closing the court for ten days and returning to the house to tidy up the house." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The emperor was interested.

The courtiers didn't know what kind of medicine Mu Yaotian was selling in the gourd, so they all pricked up their ears and waited for Mu Yaotian to answer.

"It's a shame to say it, the minister's wife is recuperating due to illness, and there is no time for the lord to feed, the affairs in the house are temporarily taken care of by the eldest daughter Mu Huanyan, and the teeth are also bitten to the tongue, the relationship between the sisters is very good on weekdays, and occasionally there are noisy times, a concubine in the house has some disputes with the eldest daughter, and the minister is also punished, and the concubine's biological mother and aunt hold a grudge, thinking that if the eldest daughter's first banquet is not smooth, she will definitely be punished. staged such a sabotage of the birthday banquet, which really made the minister angry, the inner house was not in harmony, the emperor was frightened, and the minister really blamed himself in his heart. ”

Hearing this, the emperor laughed loudly in the court.

"General Mu, General Mu, is your house so indistinguishable? Or maybe you don't have enough power to snub her, and a little concubine dares to quarrel with her daughter-in-law, and even her aunt has to target her daughter-in-law. I remember that your eldest daughter Mu Huanyan has done a great job for our country, and you dare to snub her? Looks like it's really time to punish you. ”

"It's really shameful that this kind of thing happened in the minister's mansion."

Prime Minister Du seized the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is there, and the concubine on General Mu's mansion does not respect the concubine, it can be seen how loose the upbringing of the Mu Mansion is, and the most important thing is that the concubine and the aunt dare to calculate the concubine who has made great contributions to the Sheng country, it is really hateful, does this mean that General Mu treats the concubine too harshly and meanly on weekdays, so that the concubines think that the concubine can be bullied casually, so that such a thing will happen?" ”

Prime Minister Du Cheng said that Mu Yaotianfu had a problem with his upbringing, and he cultivated his body and Qi family, and he couldn't even manage his family well, how could he be this official? The second is to say that Mu Yaotian neglected his daughter-in-law who had made contributions to the country, and every word was fine, pressing step by step.

"What Prime Minister Du Cheng said is very true, General Mu, I made a holy decree to go to the Mu Mansion to announce that the eldest daughter of your mansion has made a national merit, and the people in your mansion should also know her identity, just because of her national merit, you should also respect her, and it will happen like this, General Mu, you are indeed a little disappointed by me."

Mu Yaotian immediately kowtowed, so sincere that his head collided violently with the floor and made a sound.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake, he asks to close the court for ten days, return to the house for rectification, no matter what punishment the emperor makes, the minister is willing to be punished."

"Father, the sons and daughters think that there is no bump and bump in the family, the brothers and sisters get along together, they can't be separated, it is inevitable that there will be no small disputes, and it is only because the biological mother and aunt of the concubine are too small-minded to do these embarrassing things, but fortunately it did not cause very strict consequences. General Mu has been fighting all the year round and is a military general, so it is impossible to be very strict with etiquette like an official, and it is understandable that he is a little lax in this regard, and General Mu also admitted his shortcomings and was willing to be punished. Erchen asked his father to give General Mu a chance, General Mu is a person of filial piety, in order to give his mother a birthday, something unpleasant happens, if he is severely punished, General Mu's mother will definitely be very sad, the old man's birthday yesterday was unhappy, it is already a very pity. Ling Ran spoke for Mu Yaotian, but it surprised the emperor a little, yesterday he said at the birthday banquet that he would give Mu Yaotian's second daughter to Ling Mo, logically speaking, it should be Ling Mo who stood up to intercede in order to disturb the future father-in-law, but this was Ling Ran's intercession for Mu Yaotian, which shows that Ling Ran is indeed a homelike person.

"What the prince said doesn't make sense, what do you Aiqing say?"

One by one, the courtiers kept making their own remarks, all of which were nothing more than the safety of the emperor, and they clung to the emperor who was frightened in Mu Mansion to come out to say something, and he had to cure Mu Yaotian's crimes, and Mu Yaotian kept kneeling on the ground, fighting alone, besieged by the ministers, looking at the situation in the court, the emperor also had an answer in his heart.

"General Mu, you will be fined for half a year, closed for ten days, and have been closed in the mansion, although you are a military general, you can not be wasted if you are not etiquette, and after ten days, go to the court, and give me a letter of repentance!"

The courtiers were stunned...... (To be continued......)
