Chapter 68: Three Birds with One Stone

Mo Hongqing's originally gentle face quickly sank, he knew that Yu Guifei was coming, what was the matter? Because she came a few times yesterday, she made excuses to avoid it, and she wanted to say no, but she saw that Yu Guifei had already broken in.

Mo Hongqing frowned, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked lightly, "Concubine Ai, what's the matter with you in a hurry to see me?" ”

Yu Guifei bowed, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, this is a pastry made by the concubine herself, please taste it." ”

Jun Mufan also hurriedly stood up and gave her a salute, but in exchange for a cold eye knife from Yu Guifei, early in the morning, this man actually accompanied His Majesty to breakfast, which made her feel so angry.

Jun Mufan shrugged helplessly, he really couldn't sit or stand at the moment.

Mo Hongqing's expression was unfathomable, "Let it go, you step aside." ”

Concubine Yu carefully put the box of pastries in front of him, and did not leave, hesitated again and again, and suddenly knelt down, "The concubine has something to ask Your Majesty, ask Your Majesty to save the concubine's younger brother, he did not intend to kill the son of the Du family, but it was a mistake, the crime is not to death, our Liu family is the only seedling, he can't have anything, ask Your Majesty for mercy." ”

But Prime Minister Du's family is also a lone seedling, and after the bloody case between Liu and Du's families yesterday, they immediately made trouble in the court.

Prime Minister Du Cheng has aged a lot, his voice is violent, and he argues with Taiwei Liu bitterly, one says that killing pays for life, the other says that the defense is excessive, and the crime is not to death, and the Liu family is a relative of the emperor and the country, so it is privileged.

But Prime Minister Du Cheng said that since ancient times, the prince has broken the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and His Majesty has always advocated the rule of law.

At that time, Mo Hongqing listened to their quarrel and did not stop it, and he felt very comfortable, but he was quite embarrassed, saying that everything was his confidant minister, and he felt the same way when such a tragedy happened, but he could not be above the law, everything was subject to the judgment of the Criminal Department.

After the next dynasty, Mo Hongqing also sent Guo Bingzheng to send generous gifts to the two families to express their condolences, and they did a very good job of saving face.

Now that Prime Minister Du Cheng's son has died on the street, and Taiwei Liu's son has also entered the prison of the Criminal Department, with Mo Hongqing's understanding of Prime Minister Du Cheng, he will definitely find a way to let Liu Gongzi give his son his life.

Therefore, it is an ironclad matter for the two families to turn against each other, and he Mo Hongqing will only interfere unless he is stupid.

Mo Hongqing's eyelids moved, he stretched out his hand to help her up, and sighed slightly, "Concubine Ai, if something happened to the Liu family, I am also sad, and I don't want your Liu family to be the queen, but although I am Your Majesty, I can't issue an order to acquit you, this is difficult to convince the public, how can I block the mouth of the world." ”

After he finished speaking, the expression on his face was sad, if he didn't know the whole thing, Jun Mufan was almost moved by his sincerity, this guy planned everything, and now he still wants to be offended at both ends, and he has a good wishful thinking.

Mo Hongqing had a hidden sorrow between her eyebrows, and she raised her eyebrows and pondered, "I think that it is best for the Queen Mother to intervene in this matter, the Queen Mother is highly respected, and the two adults also respect her, and she comes forward to mediate, maybe there is room for maneuver." ”

Concubine Yu was moved by Mo Hongqing's words, wiped her tears, "Thank you for your advice, the concubine will retire." ”

There were two people left in the room, the smile on the corner of Mo Hongqing's mouth was cold and ruthless, and he looked at Jun Mufan who was standing aside, "Why don't you come over for breakfast?" ”

Jun Mufan pursed his lips and sat down, "Your Majesty is really killing three birds with one stone." ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Mo Hongqing's tone was light, he picked up the chopsticks elegantly, and slowly used breakfast.

Jun Mufan unceremoniously clipped a piece of pastry sent by Yu Guifei, "The Liu and Du families will definitely make trouble with you, they are both the henchmen of the Queen Mother, and no one can be partial to the Queen Mother, but no matter what you do, it is difficult to step on the balance, I am afraid that the three of them will look like each other, Your Majesty's insidiousness, I really admire it." ”

Mo Hongqing smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were not shocked, he didn't fight back, could it be difficult to sit still, he didn't focus on the topic just now but asked, "Is this pastry delicious?" ”

"It melts in your mouth, and the fragrance is long, which is wonderful." Jun Mufan was full of praise.

Mo Hongqing bowed his head, and very kindly added a piece and put it on his plate, "Then eat more." ”

Jun Mufan was simply flattered, and after eating it in one bite, Mo Hongqing gave another piece and watched him eat it. After sending four or five pieces in a row, Jun Mufan swallowed the last bite without knowing the taste, and began to shake his head, "Don't eat it." ”

But with a mouth, Mo Hongqing put another piece of pastry into his mouth accurately, Jun Mufan choked and couldn't breathe, picked up the water from the cup next to him, and drank it violently, almost choking himself to death.

Didn't he just say that he was insidious? As for trying to prop yourself to death? Jun Mufan took a breath of relief, and saw Mo Hongqingzheng drinking porridge with a calm expression, he pretended to be cautious and said, "Your Majesty, is it considered a death due to work?" ”

"Poof!" Mo Hongqing squirted out all the rice, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at Jun Mufan gloomily.

Jun Mufan shook his head proudly, stood up and said, "Eat well." ”

Mo Hongqing breathed a sigh of relief, threw the handkerchief on the table, and asked, "How did you do with the barbarian and relatives?" ”

Jun Mufan smiled confidently, "Your Majesty, rest assured, you will have an unexpected surprise in the court today, and you can't regret this promise to send me something." ”

Mo Hongqing's eyes were gloomy, "I seem to remember that I promised to send you something to investigate the mole, and it has nothing to do with this matter." ”

Just when Jun Mufan sank his face and wanted to have a seizure, Mo Hongqing continued, "Of course, if this thing is done, it will be rewarded." ”

After that, Mo Hongqing went to the early dynasty, and what he never expected was that the envoys of the Chu State, above the court, asked to marry the county lord of Qingwan.

Mo Hongqing was pleasantly surprised, what else could he say except to agree, of course, he wouldn't agree so much, so it was difficult to say that Chu Guo had reversed his word, which made him really difficult to do.

The envoy got the words of his master, and with his three-inch tongue, he said it wildly, and in the end, Mo Hongqing reluctantly had to agree.

On the Jinluan Palace, Prime Minister Du Cheng and Taiwei Liu, two old foxes, are on vacation because of their respective sons, and the two do not take the lead in opposing it, and the others will naturally not offend His Majesty, so the matter of harmony and kinship has been decided.

The news soon spread throughout the palace and Daliang City, Qingwan County mainly went to Chu State and relatives, the Queen Mother was shocked, how did things suddenly become like this.

She summoned the envoy privately, and the envoy also arrived as scheduled, and the Empress Dowager Su was furious and asked the envoy why she chose the lord of Qingwan.

The envoy said, that is, it is a kind relationship, of course, to show the greatest sincerity, they feel that the county lord Qingwan, knowledgeable, and outstanding, is better than the barbarian county lord.

The two were arguing, but they didn't want Mo Hongqing to bring the ministers of the court to come, saying that the county lord was married, and the accompanying items must not be shabby, so they specially asked to bring a few experienced ministers in the court to discuss with the queen mother, refer to the old practice, and add some more.

The queen mother mentioned the lord of Qingwan and her relatives, and there were quite a few words in her words.

Mo Hongqing's dark pupils condensed for a moment, and said respectfully, "The queen mother has always supported the matter of harmony, and now the envoy of the Chu State has a discerning eye and chose Wan'er's cousin, she can win glory for the country, and the queen mother should be happy to start, the barbarian is reckless, people don't look down on her, and she is not blessed." ”

The Queen Mother wanted to be friendly, but she wanted to let Qin Man go, but she was wrong, how did she become Su Wan, and Mo Hongqing came with the minister, obviously prepared, if she said she didn't agree at this time, it would be like in front of all the ministers. Slap yourself in the face.

She is the dignified Empress Dowager of the Southern Jin Dynasty, how can she be so untrustworthy, or say that Qin Man went, she agreed, and if she changed Su Wan, she would not agree, wouldn't this make people doubt her intentions.

Empress Dowager Su had a feeling of lifting a stone to hit her own feet, but she never understood what was going on in the middle, but she knew that Mo Hongqing had definitely done something from it, but it was a pity that she still spent so much money, how to get it back.

Several ministers also shouted that the Queen Mother was wise, and the Queen Mother Su's heart was surging, but she tried to restrain herself, she held her forehead, exhausted, "The mourning family is old, and the dowry is ready, let Yu Guifei do it." ”

Mo Hongqing bent down and saluted, and then slowly withdrew, and the moment he walked out of the Fenghua Palace, he had a feeling of raising his eyebrows, the sky was wide, and even his walking steps were light. “
