Wen Ling had no choice but to follow, but she didn't see Mowen when she went out, she couldn't help but be a little curious, Wen Ling asked, "Brother Xin, where did Mowen go?" Didn't he go with you? ”

Qi Hongxin was in a good mood, and he replied whatever Wen Ling asked: "Mowen has no identity and no official position, so we need to go to meet our father first, and explain the situation like him, and his father summons him before he can enter the banquet." ”

Wen Lingleng nodded, Qi Hongxin was amused again, and when the two of them walked to the door of the palace banquet, there were several eunuchs: "His Royal Highness King Wen, the lord of Lingqin has arrived." ”

When he arrived at the door of the palace banquet, Wen Ling wanted to shake off Qi Hongxin's hand, but Qi Hongxin took the opportunity to pull it tighter a little, Wen Ling was a little helpless, and said: "Brother Xin, let go of me, we will be blamed by the emperor if we see the emperor like this." ”

Qi Hongxin didn't think so, just continued to walk forward, along the way, Wen Ling could detect that the civil and military officials were staring at them, and Wen Ling was a little embarrassed for a while.

But they still had to pretend to be calm, and finally the two walked to Emperor Qi, Qi Hongxin and Wen Ling knelt on the ground at the same time to greet Emperor Qi.

"The son knocks on his father."

"The courtier Wen Ling knocked to see the emperor."

Emperor Qi has been in a good mood today, and laughed and said: "Get up, this epidemic can be controlled so quickly, you two are heroes, let's say, what reward do you two want?" ”

Wen Ling replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, this time we were able to find a way to control the epidemic so quickly, thanks to one person. ”

Emperor Qi was a little puzzled: "Oh? Alone? Who? ”

Wen Ling continued: "Your Majesty, the one who helped the courtiers was an uncle surnamed Mo, Uncle Mo didn't come today, but his child arrived, this time the courtiers went to Shucheng, and Uncle Mo's son also accompanied the courtiers to do a lot of things. ”

Emperor Qi continued: "Where are the others now?" ”

Wen Ling said: "Your Majesty, Mo Wen is waiting behind now." Emperor Qi waved his hand, "Call people up, my big Qi man, meritorious service will be rewarded." ”

The little eunuch immediately summoned: "The emperor has a decree, Xuan Mowen will meet you." ”

Mowen soon came, knelt on the ground and greeted Emperor Qi decently: "Caomin Mowen knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

Ordinary civilians can not look up at the Son of Heaven without the emperor's approval, Emperor Qi said a few words of goodness, and then said: "Mowen, raise your head, listen to the county lord say that this epidemic is thanks to your Mo family father and son."

You have made meritorious deeds, say, what are your wishes? As long as you say it, I will grant your request. ”

Mo Wen immediately gave Emperor Qi a few snorts, and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are courageous, and there is one thing to ask for, and please ask the emperor to agree to the grass people." ”

Emperor Qi said: "What's the matter, you can tell it directly." ”

Mo Wen said: "The mother of the grass people, because she was deceived by the traitor, so after the outbreak of this epidemic, for a little money, she framed the county lord, and the grass people know that the mother of the grass people is unforgivable, and please ask the emperor to be able to forgive the mother of the grass people for the sake of this time, the grass people and the grass people's father have no merit and hard work." ”

Emperor Qi was a little embarrassed: "Mowen, do you know how serious the impact of your mother's relationship is on my Great Qi?" If this epidemic is not controlled, it is very likely to disturb the instability of my Daqi people, and besides, do you know what crime should be committed to framing my royal people? ”

Mo Wen immediately continued to buckle his head and said: "The grass people said that the emperor knows it, and please ask the emperor to read it for the ignorance of the grass people's mother, and be able to forgive her, and the grass people are willing to bear everything for their mother." ”

Emperor Qi glanced at Wen Ling and said, "It's no problem for you and your father to forgive your mother, but your mother offended the county lord of Lingqin, as long as the county lord of Lingqin is not to blame in the past, I can spare your mother." ”

Mo Wen hurriedly buckled his head and said, "Thank you to the emperor." ”

Then Mo Wen turned his head at Wen Ling and asked, "County Lord, the mother of the grass people is sorry for you, and I also ask the county lord to have a large number of them, so that you don't have to worry about the mother of the grass people." ”

Wen Ling nodded: "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't blame this matter, this time there is no Mo family father and son, we don't know how much we will lose, the courtiers feel that compared with such a big credit, that little mistake is not worth mentioning at all." ”

Emperor Qi said: "Okay, since the county lord of Lingqin is generous and doesn't care, but this capital crime can be escaped, and your mother has really done something wrong, let her stay in the Dali Temple prison for a few days to reflect and reflect." ”

Mo Wen immediately buckled Xie Qihuang and said, "Thank you to the emperor, thank you to the county lord." ”

When the matter was over, Emperor Qi said, "You three go and sit down." ”

Wen Ling was just about to walk to his position, but Qi Hongxin grabbed his hand and forcibly took Wen Ling to the position in King Wen's mansion.

For a while, the eyes of the civil and military officials have been staring at the two, Wen Ling was a little embarrassed, but it was not good to pull and pull with Qi Hongxin in the public, the two of them took their seats, and Wen Ling said:

"Brother Xin, what are you doing here? It is not polite for me to sit with you. ”

Qi Hongxin didn't let go or let go: "It's okay, you just sit here, you have no better choice than sitting here in your court clothes tonight." ”

Emperor Qi and the other three sat down, then lowered their faces and said sharply: "This King Wen, the county lord and the Mo family father and son are the heroes of my Great Qi, there is no doubt about it, but this Shu City Lord Tian Yue, who didn't report it, almost harmed the entire Great Qi, come here, bring the guilty minister Tian Yue up." ”

Tian Yue was brought up by someone who was tied up with flowers, and Wen Ling saw that Tian Yue's body was full of scars, and he looked like he had already been tortured.

Emperor Qi asked, "Tian Yue, do you know what is wrong?" The voice was not angry and arrogant, although Tian Yue was already scarred all over his body, he still knelt down and got up and said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is guilty, and I ask the emperor to spare the guilty minister, and the criminal minister will never dare anymore." ”

Emperor Qi's face was unwavering, and his words were calm: "Spare you?" Then who should I go to with so many innocent and dead people? If I spare you, and all the officials in the future will be like you, won't my Daqi be in danger? ”

Tian Yue still knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, and the blood stained the marble floor.

Emperor Qi's deterrent effect was already very significant, so he spoke: "The former city lord of Shucheng delayed the national situation, the crime is unforgivable, and the whole family should be held responsible for one person'......s mistake."

Wen Ling knew when he heard this sentence that the emperor would definitely say that he would let the Tian family be beheaded, Wen Ling knew that this Tian Yue was to blame for his death, but his family was very innocent.

Wen Ling immediately got up and walked out, knelt on the ground and pleaded with Emperor Qi: "Your Majesty, regarding Lord Tian's punishment, the courtiers want to make a request to the emperor. ”

Although Emperor Qi was a little dissatisfied, this Wen Ling suddenly appeared to interrupt his speech, but he also wanted to hear what Wen Ling wanted to say, so he asked, "Huh?" What is the other opinion of the county lord? ”

Wen Ling continued: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that Lord Tian has made a big mistake this time, even if the Nine Clans can't complain, but Your Majesty, this matter is only decided by Lord Tian alone, and it has nothing to do with his family, the courtiers thought, since Lord Tian has made a big mistake, why don't we let his family atone for him?"

Now Shucheng needs to be restored, and the people of the City Lord's Mansion have lived in Shucheng for generations, so it is better to let them take the officers and soldiers to help build a new Shucheng, so that Shucheng can also recover its original appearance as soon as possible, and it can also show my emperor's generosity, isn't it? ”

Ye Zixi sat at the head of Emperor Qi, and saw Wen Ling begging for mercy for a criminal minister like this, he only felt that this Wen Ling really didn't know what his identity was after making some contributions, and he dared to go against the emperor.

originally thought that with a virtuous help like Wen Ling, he could help his emperor ascend to the throne faster, and he could also have a confidant to protect her emperor, but now it seems that this Wen Ling is even more difficult than that Qin Ling.

Before Ye Zixi finished slandering here, Qi Hongxin also stood up, knelt next to Wen Ling, and said: "Father, the son feels that the Lord of Lingqin County is reasonable, even if this Shu City Lord Tian Yue deserves death, but his family is so innocent.

People are not saints and sages, but the mistakes made by this Tian Daren alone should not be borne by hundreds of people in Tianfu, right? Moreover, although Tian did do something wrong, Tian Daren was not completely wrong.

This epidemic is so serious, Tian Daren was able to make the decision to lock down the city so quickly, without harming other cities and causing more casualties, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. ”

Ye Zixi heard Qi Hongxin speak for Wen Ling everywhere, and she was angry, she allowed a man who does big things to have a woman he likes, but this man who does big things must not put himself into an unrighteous place for a woman.

Qi Hongxin put his weakness on the table like this, as long as he wants to deal with him in the future, he can directly deal with Wen Ling's girl, how can this person who does big things be like this? It's all taboo.

Emperor Qi thought for a while and said: "I also think that what the county lord and the fourth brother said is right, so be it, Tian Yue's crime is unforgivable and he will be beheaded in the vegetable market three days later, and the rest of the Tian family will all be sent to build Shu City, and the credit will be overcome." ”

When Tian Yue heard this, he immediately continued to buckle his head: "The criminal minister has thanked the emperor, the prince, and the county lord, and in the next life, the criminal minister will also thank the county lord for being a cow and a horse, thank you very much." ”

Tian Yue was taken away, and Emperor Qi looked at the two kneeling on the ground and asked, "This time the two of you have also made great contributions, let's say, what do you want me to reward you?" ”

Wen Ling said: "Your Majesty, this time Shucheng can spend safely, this is all the emperor's blessing, the courtiers only do a small part, and the courtiers are not meritorious." ”

Qi Hongxin also said: "Father, Erchen also thinks that it is the father Emperor Tianwei who blessed Shucheng to spend it safely, but Erchen really has a small request that he wants to ask his father for approval." ”

This is the first time that Qi Hongxin has asked for him, and Emperor Qi is also very curious.
