In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mei's injuries gradually improved, and Mu Qingfeng instructed his subordinates to send someone to send her back to Shen Mansion after Shen Mei did not wake up.

Today is going to the morning court, Mu Qingfeng got up early in the morning, he didn't sleep with Shen Mei last night, knowing that the current short relationship has not really solved the estrangement between the two, and one day he will make a contribution and have the opportunity to ask his father for marriage, and now it seems that only this way can Shen Mei stay by his side.

Above the court, the ministers talked about it, like something big happened in the capital, last night Mu Qing came to report that there were several theft cases in the capital, Mu Qingfeng guessed that this matter must be extraordinary, so he asked Mu Qing to investigate in secret.

Sure enough, there was already a discussion in the court today.

"I heard that several famous and wealthy merchants in the capital were stolen yesterday."

"It is said that they are the four wealthy merchants of North Street, South Lane and East District of Xishi, and if you think about it, these four are among the best people in the capital."

"I think that the old lady Zhao in the West Market started from scratch, followed a team of people to the border pass, and went through many ups and downs to establish material exchanges with the border pass and other neighboring countries, and the last thing to say is to touch the Zhao family."

"That's right."

"Do you know, the Liu family on North Street is a well-known overlord, and someone actually moved his family's golden house, don't you say that this person is bold."

Several ministers couldn't help but talk about it.

After a while, the emperor arrived.

A cadre of people on the Jinluan Hall waited for the mountain to shout long live.

The emperor let everyone calm down, but his expression was very serious, and it could be seen that the emperor must have known what had happened in the capital since he entered the capital.

"Let's talk about what has happened in the capital in the past few days."

The next minister stepped forward to report. "Your Majesty, there were several thefts in the capital last night."

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is an unforgivable sin to let such a rampant person remain." The emperor was furious. I can't imagine how long it has been, just starting the new year, and such a thing has happened, whether it is the inaction of officials or a potential threat to the country, no matter which one it is, it is intolerable for the emperor.

"Enlighten the emperor, the minister still has something to return to the emperor." The person who spoke was none other than the assassin of the dynasty - Shangguan Hong.

"Lord Shangguan, please speak." The majesty of the Son of Heaven is undiminished.

"A few days ago, Xia Guan received a report from the dart bureau in the capital, saying that a few cars of things sent by the lord of Yulin a few days ago were robbed, you must know that this Yulin country has always been friendly with Wuguo, and now such a thing has happened, I think it will endanger the friendship between the two countries. Weichen felt that this matter must be thoroughly investigated. “

"Why didn't the matter be reported sooner? Such a major event cannot be taken lightly. The emperor slapped his palm angrily on the case.

Let the people below be surprised. After hearing about this important matter, several ministers who didn't know what had happened before were already furious when they looked at the man on the throne timidly. Let the people below be secretly afraid in their hearts.

"I also hope that the emperor will forgive the crime, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of Weichen, I wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly by myself, and I didn't want the emperor to worry too much about this matter. I want to share the burden for the emperor. The man knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"That's it, I will not punish you for your sin, but I still have to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Ling Xuan. Breeze. Now that such a thing has happened in the capital, you, as the prince, should set an example, one is to boost the prestige of the country, and the other is to let the lord of Yulin know the attitude of Wuguo towards this matter, and absolutely not tolerate anything that wants to destroy the feelings of the two countries. So I'll leave these two things to the two of you, and a week later, I'll ask you to give an account of what you have to say about them. "The emperor gave an order, in fact, to find out that the matter is small, and to take this opportunity to test the ability of the two is good and bad is the real goal. Yulin Kingdom is nothing more than a small subsidiary country for Wu Kingdom, and the Holy Lord will not really care about this matter, but even his own body is not as good as day by day, although the position of the prince has already been decided, but whether the prince can become a generation of Ming Jun is still a matter worth considering.

As for Mu Qingfeng, he is also his own son, and he is also one of the very outstanding princes, the emperor has always treated all his children with clear rewards and punishments, if he is talented, he will definitely not be treated badly, and he will naturally not be selfish about the election of the heir to the throne.

After hearing this, the two knelt down and took the order.

"The son should relieve his father's worries." Mu Lingxuan, as usual, demonstrated the demeanor of a prince to everyone.

Mu Qingfeng pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Erchen wants his father's favor to approve one thing. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The son wants to borrow something from his father." After that, he got up and walked in the direction of the emperor, entered the emperor's side, and whispered something.

I saw that there was no anger on the emperor's face, but a hint of a smile. It's hard to see what the two are talking about. It makes people even more unaware of this, what kind of medicine is bought in the gourd of the three princes.

"I promised you that I would send someone to deliver what you wanted. If you fail to deal with this matter and give me an explanation, even if you are my prince, you will be punished. ”

"Yes, the retainer will take the order."

There was another discussion at the bottom, but the topics of discussion at this time revolved around Mu Qingfeng's cynical third prince.

"You say, what is the meaning of this emperor's move?"

"Can't see that?"

"Your Majesty, this is testing the two princes."

"It's just that you look at the dragon and phoenix in this prince's civil and military shuangren, and he is the crown prince himself by the emperor. You said that now the emperor is very fond of the three princes, I'm afraid this will not be an arrangement with ulterior motives. “

"Don't say it again, what is the strength of the prince, everyone knows it, let's stand on our own team." A minister who had been following the crown prince said coldly.

A few people were told to shut up.

Mu Lingxuan looked at Mu Qingfeng thoughtfully, seeing that his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion, but he Mu Lingxuan never took him in his eyes, nor did he think that he would threaten his position, so he looked at him with contempt, so he didn't delve too much into what he said to the emperor.

Mu Lingxuan can be said to be a hundred responses to the court now, and how many people have already stood behind him, they all firmly believe that Mu Lingxuan will be the absolute candidate for the next emperor, which is understandable, so it is more beneficial to his career to recognize the situation as soon as possible.

This may be what most people think, but there are still a few people who still have a sense of reason for Mu Lingxuan, the crown prince.

This battle for the throne has just begun.
