This emperor is the emperor, and the momentum above ten thousand people is manifested in these simple words.

He was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't understand what important things the emperor had to tell him to summon him to the palace overnight.

When he saw this bright yellow flashing in front of him, Gonggong Chu saw that this person was still stunned, and hurriedly signaled frantically with his eyes, meaning to tell him to hurry up and follow.

Na Mu Hou Ye received this order, and immediately followed up.

The lights in the Heart Cultivation Hall were bright, and there was a solemnity of its own, and Long Jiangye's sharp eyes looked at him after the person entered the Heart Cultivation Hall lightly.

This glance frightened this Mu Houye's legs trembling, and then this person knelt down again and said goodbye to the dragon general behind the dragon case.

"Weichen Mu has the money to ask the emperor for peace."

"Wood is rich?"

Long Jiangye faintly repeated the name of this person on one side, and then said: "Why should Mu Hou Ye be modest, during the drought the year before last, Mu Hou Ye donated three million taels of silver with his own strength. ”

While affirming his merits, these words also contained a hint of ridicule, which made this Mu Hou Ye also breathe a little relieved.

I saw that he was very modest, and knelt down respectfully and replied: "The emperor praises falsely, Weichen, as a marquis, sees that the people are in trouble, so he naturally wants to be the first to contribute money and efforts, so as to share the emperor's worries." ”

"Well, although I am in the capital, but Mu Hou Ye's behavior in the world, the fifth brother also mentioned it to me a few days ago, I know that Mu Hou Ye is a good official who loves the people like a son, since you have merit, then I will naturally reward you."

Hearing that the emperor had a reward, this person was actually a little uneasy in his heart.

It was like a delicious pie that fell from the sky, and he didn't even go out to pick it up before it fell into his hands.

It feels like the rewards come so quickly and so well that they don't feel real.

However, the emperor's words were all true, saying that the reward was a holy decree, but he couldn't be allowed to come over and refuse, so he could only kowtow: "Yes, thank you to the emperor." ”

"I am ready to promote you to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and settle down in the capital."

suddenly changed from a nominal Hou Ye to a Beijing official with real power in his hands, if this kind of good thing fell on others, I am afraid that he would have been happy to find the north a long time ago.

However, this person was not carried away by the joy, and dismissed the matter suspiciously: "The emperor is very loving, but the emperor, it is said that Weichen has not been in contact with officialdom for seventeen years, and Weichen may not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility, and I ask the emperor to take back his life."

Long Jiangye also thought that this person might shirk it, after all, such a thing was put on any reasonable person, and he would not rashly give this matter down.

But it wasn't hard to get him.

I saw the man get up from behind the dragon case and slowly paced in the direction of this person.

"Actually, I naturally have a reason for such an arrangement, and I have more important things to discuss with Aiqing."

Hearing that there was something to discuss with him, the man was so frightened that he nodded again and again: "But according to the emperor's orders, it is."

"It will be the first day of October in two days, and I have already instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold a post-closure ceremony on the same day.

"Yes, although Weichen is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but the emperor and queen are harmonious, and it is a good story to pass it to the people.

mentioned this matter well, what kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd, he still hasn't understood.

These words have been brewing in Long Jiangye's heart for a long time, and they are already a set of mature words.

"However, the queen mother has been a little troubled recently, and she asked Lord Mu to solve her doubts on her behalf."

When Mu Houye heard this, he instinctively felt that things were not simple.

"Yes, dare to ask the queen if she has any doubts, if Weichen has a place that can be used, the emperor will command."

This Mu Hou Ye has heard of this queen mother, how the emperor and the queen mother teamed up to take care of the Xie family, and there are some gossips among the people.

I heard that the queen was imprisoned in the palace. 、

Thinking of this, this person's back was cold, and he always felt that such a matter of the palace curtain in the inner courtyard of the palace was not something that a person like himself could speculate about.

"The queen's mother's family name is Mu, and you are the same clan as Mu Houye."

Long Jiangye still spoke to this person in a condescending manner, in fact, it was a discussion, most of them were talking about him, and this Muhou Ye was just listening.

"Yes, that's the honor of the Weichen family."

"Naturally, it's an honor, and it's a great honor for your family to do more than that. My ninth son was originally an orphan, with no father, no mother, no sisters, and a very miserable life....."

The more he listened, the more pale this Mu Houye's face became, as if he had been hit by thunder, and his brain was buzzing.

This Mu Hou Ye thinks that the emperor's courage is too big.

So many people in the palace know what the queen's life experience is, and at this time they came out to pretend, although it was arranged by the emperor, in case the queen knew about it one day, they had to cut down their family?

Thinking of this, this person shook his head like a rattle, and refused in fear: "Your Majesty, this." This is not very appropriate, in case, if someone says something in front of the queen, then the life of Weichen, the eldest and youngest of the family, will be over. ”

"Mu Aiqing, don't worry, no one will dare to chew the root of the tongue in front of the queen at all, your Mu family just have to cooperate, and even I have prepared a statement for you."

The reason why Long Jiangye dared to say this was because he believed that no one would dare to mention this matter in front of Mu Jiu without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

But he ignored a more important person, that is, Long Jiangjing.

Hearing that the emperor said that he had even prepared his words for himself, this person felt that he had no room to refuse at all, where did the emperor discuss with himself, but just an order.

"Yes, but on the orders of the emperor."

"That's good."

In this way, the dragon will leave people in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, and plan every link in this plan.

In fact, Long Jiangye made a fatal mistake in this matter, since this matter is a lie from beginning to end, it is necessary to minimize the contact between this Mu Xue and this Mu Hou Ye's family, after all, it is more wrong to say more, in case it is exposed, it will not be a fun thing.

Mu Houye actually knew the seriousness of the situation, and on the way home, he had already thought about how to hide from his family, and he was able to help the emperor complete such a task.

It was already very late when he got home.

Because he is the pillar of the family, and he has not returned from the palace so late, his wife naturally has to wait for him.

"How? Is there anything important for the emperor to find you? Why did you come back so late? ”

In fact, Mrs. Mu's heart is not very stable, because Mo Nan also sent someone to guard the door of this mansion, which is called to protect their safety, but this kind of behavior is quite panicked.

At this moment, when she saw the solemn expression on the old man's face, she felt that the situation was serious, and her tone was not as impatient as Fang Cai, and she said with some worry: "Master, what happened?" ”

"Master, I'm sorry for you...."

Before he spoke, this Mu Hou Ye first beat his chest fiercely, and there was no regret in his tone.

"What's wrong? Master, what's wrong? Sir, do you have something to say? ”

This Mu Hou Ye and this Mu Hou Ye have a very good relationship, although this Mu Hou Ye has a lot of money and a lot of property, but he is very clean and self-conscious, and he has not accepted any aunt except Mrs. in this life.

At this moment, when I heard this Mu Hou Ye say that he was sorry for himself, this Mrs. Mu's brain exploded all of a sudden, and she looked at this man with a look at the ghost, and asked in disbelief: "It can't be that the emperor wants to win you over to send you a beautiful woman, right?" ”

It is also a very common means for the king to give beautiful women to his courtiers.

However, this Mu Hou Ye shook his head and said bitterly: "Twenty years ago, before I married you, I once spoiled a girl with a human face and a beastly nature.....

Boom, there was a sudden thunder outside.

It's autumn now, the so-called autumn rain and a cold, the cold wind outside poured in, and Mrs. Mu shivered.

The thunder seemed to have struck her brain, making her brain buzz, and she asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" The girl was pregnant and the children were born, so what about the child now? Who is it? ”

"The girl unfortunately contracted the disease and died, and the child survived, so her name was Mu Jiu."

Mu Jiu??

This Mrs. Mu felt that the name Mu Jiu was quite familiar, but when she thought carefully about the people she came into contact with, she found that there was no such person at all.

"Mu Jiu?"

Mu Hou Ye nodded sadly, grabbed his wife's hand, and said guiltily: "This is a foolish thing I did when I was young and ignorant, and now that child is in the capital." ”

At this moment, this lady feels that things are tricky, and when she hears the master, she means to recognize the child and let her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors?

Their family wealth is rich, but it is not a joke to suddenly have another person to share the family property with their daughter.

Thinking of this, her mind turned, and she said tentatively and generously: "Master, if you want to bring that child back, I will definitely treat it as my own, so that Rou'er in our family can also have one more sister, what a good thing." ”

But this Mu Hou Ye shook his head, sat aside with a sigh, shook his head and sighed and said, "If only it were so simple, madam, do you know who this Mu Jiu is?" ”

Seeing that the old man sat down, the lady poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Master, look at what you said, how long have I been in the capital for a long time, where do I know that Mu Jiu?" But since it's your child, it's also a good thing for her to be able to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors."
