Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Third Miss in the Hearts of the People
Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Third Miss in the Hearts of the People
In the imperial study room of the palace, the emperor looked at Murong Qing kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face, and he had his thoughts in his heart.
"Murong Qing, you are guilty."
The emperor took a sip of tea and asked in a deep voice.
"The courtiers don't know where the sin is."
Murong Qing was neither humble nor arrogant and looked at the emperor, and her clear eyes were calm and waveless.
"Bold, Murong Qing will commit the following crimes, and the crime of contempt for the emperor's authority will be added by one degree."
Fury asked sharply in a sharp voice.
"Presumptuous!"
"The little housekeeper, the dog is powerful, and he dares to point fingers in front of the head of the family, and come to slap his mouth!"
When Murong Qing heard this, she suddenly got up and scolded loudly, openly provoking the majesty of the emperor, which made Su Muchun pinch a cold sweat for her.
"Why, didn't you hear what the head of the family said?"
Murong Qing glanced at the palace people in the imperial study, frightened everyone trembling, glanced at the emperor, and hesitantly stepped forward to catch Furui beside the emperor.
"Bold."
"Murong Qing, do you want to give you this throne!"
His majesty was provoked, how could the emperor ignore it, Fury was his person, and he would fight if he wanted to fight.
"Your Majesty also feels that your majesty has been provoked?"
Murong Qing was fearless in confronting the emperor.
"Murong Qing, don't think that you can reverse the sky by sitting in the position of the head of the Song family, don't forget that I am the master of the world."
The emperor took a sip of tea with a gloomy face, put down the teacup and continued, "Furui is at fault, but what he said is true, Murong Qing, what do you still have any doubts?" ”
"Yes!"
Murong Qing looked at Commander Gao, "As a royal guard, he completely ignored the comfort of His Majesty's people and forcibly arrested people, and the head of the family stepped forward to stop him, and even said that the head of the family was disrespectful, and dared to ask whose order Commander Gao served." ”
Then he looked Commander Gao up and down and asked, "Isn't it that Commander Gao is serving the emperor's will?" ”
"Murong Qing, you don't want to pour dirty water on this commander, when did this commander say that he was ordered to arrest people."
Commander Gao avoided Murong Qing's gaze with a weak heart, and flatly denied it, but cold sweat oozed from his palms.
"Is Commander Gao going to deny it in front of His Majesty? Don't forget that there are a lot of people here to do the certification. ”
Murong Qing sneered disdainfully and looked at the slightly panicked face, and kept glancing at the emperor's high commander with his eyes.
"Your Majesty, it was Weichen who misinterpreted Your Majesty's holy will, and asked Your Majesty to surrender."
Don't look at Commander Gao's nostrils all day long, but his brain is still very useful when it is critical.
"Get out of the way and let this king in."
At this time, Su Muchun, who was intercepted outside the door, forcibly broke in, strode forward, kicked over Commander Gao, and said, "If you weren't in the way, you wouldn't have let Han Zhongzhi take advantage of the loophole, and Qing'er wouldn't have killed him." ”
Su Muchun bit back, making Commander Gao a little unaware.
"Your Majesty, if it weren't for Weichen's timely arrival, the third lady would have colluded with Han Zhongzhi to help him escape from the capital."
The high commander touched the bottom with his head in a fierce voice.
"Commander Gao is still the commander of the guards around the emperor, and you don't even understand the strategy of delaying the army, are you saying that your own IQ is low, or are you saying that King Chun's IQ is low."
Murong Qing looked at him playfully, with a thick mockery in her tone.
said that Su Muchun had a low IQ, then he was purely looking for death, and saying that his low IQ was also not good.
"According to Miss San's meaning, if every prisoner takes hostages, will it be possible to get away with it?"
Murong Qing didn't make any judgment on his words, but just looked at the emperor with clear and beautiful eyes.
Commander Gao also found out what he had said wrongly, and touched the ground with his head, "Your Majesty, Weichen is also momentarily grasping people's hearts and thinking about it, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
"Gao Shiyu, fifty court staffs, one official demoted, punished for half a year."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing."
The high commander thanked him and retreated.
The emperor took a sip of tea and looked at Murong Qing, "No matter what the purpose, killing an official of the court is a serious crime, you can plead guilty." ”
"It may be that my Song family has not interfered in court politics for many years, and the emperor is afraid that he has forgotten the power that my Song family should have."
The meaning of Murong Qing's words was unclear, the emperor was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then immediately lowered his eyelids, and the whole process was seen by Su Muchun, and he seemed to understand Murong Qing's intentions.
Their Song family has never interfered in the affairs of the court, but only regularly paid taxes to the court, and the military salary when the two countries went to war, and did not ask anything else.
The taxes paid for so many years are just right, and there is no additional expenditure if you want to, and as the emperor, you don't have any pocket money, isn't it shameless.
And the emperor's intention today is to return the financial power and put it at his own disposal, so that he is not afraid of Su Muchun's military power.
The emperor contemplated and said coldly, "Murong Qing, although you are the head of the Song family, don't forget that I am the king of this country, do you want to rebel when you openly confront me?" ”
"The courtiers don't dare!"
Murong Qing had already seen some clues, and her tone immediately softened.
"Come on, Murong Qing will commit a crime, despise the emperor's authority, take back all the rights of the head of the Song family, and put him in the prison to deal with it after listening."
The emperor thought that what he said was seamless, but he didn't know that the financial power of the Song family was passed down from generation to generation, and the royal family had no right to take it back.
The reason why he didn't directly give a killing order to Murong Qing was because he was worried about Song Yunnan and Su Muchun, and once these two joined forces, his throne would be overthrown in an instant.
"Father, it's true that Qing'er killed Han Zhongzhi, but Han Zhongzhi has committed a lot of crimes, and he should have raided his family and destroyed his family."
Su Muchun understood that he had never lived, and it was up to the emperor to decide which was more important than Murong Qing or Han Zhongzhi.
"Your Majesty, General Murong, Song Haitao and others killed the palace guards and broke in."
At this time, a little father-in-law hurriedly ran in, his legs were weak, his voice trembled, as if he had seen something terrible.
The emperor frowned and looked at Murong Qing, "Murong Qing, you really want to openly rebel!" ”
Murong Qing also had a headache, didn't she arrange for Song Zilan to send these two elders out of the city? How did it get to the palace?
The guards slowly retreated into the imperial study, and the person who was the leader of the guards opposite was Ji Changfeng, holding up the phantom snow and forcing the guards forward step by step.
"Long wind."
"Sister!"
Don't look at Ji Changfeng just now, he was still majestic, as soon as he saw Murong Qing, he immediately turned into a big boy, with a bright smile on his face.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Ji Changfeng brushed aside the guards and ran to Murong Qing, pulling her to look left and right, and looked at her for a long time.
"It's okay, didn't I tell you to get out of town? How did you get here? ”
Murong Qing lowered her voice with a slight reproach in her tone.
Ji Changfeng gave her a reassuring look, and saluted the emperor and Su Muchun.
At this glance, he knew that he was his younger brother, and when he came in, he saluted the emperor first, and Ji Changfeng saw the emperor after seeing that Murong Qing was safe and sound.
"Get up!"
"I have long heard that your sister and brother have a deep relationship, and it is true when I see it today."
The emperor's eyes flashed when he learned of Ji Changfeng's identity, and he was not displeased because of his rudeness, but what he said had a deep meaning.
"Your Majesty, don't blame, Changfeng has suffered since he was a child, if it wasn't for my sister to buy me back, I'm afraid that Changfeng would have already been exposed to the wilderness, so in Changfeng's heart, my sister's comfort will always come first."
Ji Changfeng's words sound very reasonable, but under the careful taste, there is something different.
The emperor didn't care about his insinuation, after all, a country is not as easy to take care of as a family.
But Murong Qing and Su Muchun were puzzled by the emperor's attitude, it stands to reason that the emperor should be angry at this time, why is there no anger at all.
Isn't it related to the secret that the Yun clan knows?
The two glanced at each other, and they all understood each other's thoughts in each other's eyes.
"Changfeng is bold, dare to ask Your Majesty what to do with my sister?"
Ji Changfeng saluted, this sound young and vigorous, but full of confidence.
"The father wants to detain Qing'er first and listen to it before disposing of it."
Su Muchun didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and said it for him, and the emperor's face changed imperceptibly.
"Your Majesty, Han Zhongzhi's crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is extremely heinous, does the emperor want to chill my sister's heart for such a sinner?"
Ji Changfeng spoke directly, and said what Su Muchun had just said vaguely.
"Even if he is extremely evil, he is also the prime minister, how can he kill the important ministers of the court, how can I explain to the people of the whole world."
The emperor was very unhappy when he heard Ji Changfeng's words, but he saw something else in Ji Changfeng's eyes, and he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty listen to what the people really want to say?"
"Yes, if Your Majesty doesn't listen, how will you know what the people are thinking."
Song Haitao and Murong Hong stood up at the same time.
The emperor also had a headache about today's battle, and finally caught Murong Qing and was unwilling to let her go back like this, if he didn't let go, the people of the three major families would have arrived.
is obviously threatening him to release him, and the most important thing is that he is still not sure whether Ji Changfeng knows the secret.
"Your Majesty, Danfengmen gathered a lot of people to kneel on the ground and shout, how is their third young lady?"
Hearing this, the emperor was a little surprised and swept towards Murong Qing and the others, and the expressions on each of their faces were the same as his own.
Suddenly.
"Murong Qing was grounded in the General's Mansion for three months."
The emperor opened his mouth leisurely, with a different meaning in his tone.
"No!"
"Stand down!"
"No!"
The gate of the palace slowly opened, and Murong Qing and the others saw the crowds of people gathered outside the gate.
"Third Miss, are you alright?"
"The Bodhisattva blesses the third lady with peace and well."
……
Everyone saw Murong Qing walking out safe and sound, and their hanging hearts relaxed.
Everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and the happiest were Li Gui and his wife.
"My daughter, it's good to be okay."
Su Xia even stepped forward and hugged Murong Qing tightly and cried, the feeling of crying with joy can only be understood by those who have a deep understanding.
Regarding Su Xia's ability to recognize such a rich and powerful daughter, the neighbors said that she was delusional, how could the young lady of the General's Mansion recognize her, a poor and sour woman, as her mother.
But later, Murong Qing used his actual actions to tell those who scoffed.
Everyone also changed their opinion of Murong Qing, after all, very few young ladies from big families were willing to do this, let alone Miss Yan from the General's Mansion.
After hearing that Murong Qing might be beheaded by the emperor after killing the prime minister, the people all volunteered to come and intercede for Murong Qing.
And the person behind this is in the house of a certain official, listening to the person who went out to inquire about the situation and laughing loudly.
Murong Qing gave a deep salute to the people, "Thank you for your remembrance of Qing'er." ”
"The third lady is kind to us, how can we be ungrateful."
"Yes, if it weren't for the third miss, I'm afraid Erbao and I wouldn't be able to survive this winter this year."
"Yes, the third young lady Bodhisattva is heartfelt, God will definitely bless you."
"Come on, folks, let's kowtow to the third lady."
Murong Qing hurriedly stopped, "The lord, father, and fellow villagers don't have to be like this, these are all things that Qing'er should do." ”
Everyone surrounded Murong Qing and the others and walked towards the General's Mansion, but when the emperor saw this scene, there was a flash in his eyes.
