Chapter 168: Punishment and Reward

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Liu Huangyun, the general of the Yulin Army, was still kneeling on the ground, but he still ordered a hundred Yulin troops to follow the eldest prince to escort him, if he went on a business trip again, even if he had a thousand heads, it would not be enough to cut off.

Three of the five Yuntai Division's people left quickly, scattered into the woods, and disappeared after a while, probably escorting the eldest prince down the mountain.

The assassination of the prince and the princess is a big deal, although it didn't succeed, but I think the next Yulin Army and Yuntai Division will inevitably have a purge.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu were holding the horses side by side, Xu Mingyuan was now left with a deer on his horse, and Li Mu had nothing on his horse.

Xu Mingyuan knew that Li Mu was deliberately pushing him to the front, and this time the two of them rescued the eldest prince and Princess Yiyuan, although the process was difficult and dangerous, but the final result was quite satisfactory.

Princess Yiyuan lifted the hem of her skirt, walked forward, stood still in front of Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu, slightly blessed, and said with sincere gratitude: "Today, I was rescued by Li Gongzi and Xu Gongzi, and I thank you here." ”

Xu Mingyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The princess doesn't have to be polite, this is her duty, the princess and the prince are fine." ”

Li Mu also arched his hand casually and didn't say anything.

Princess Yiyuan nodded slightly and said, "I will report this matter to my father, and I will definitely reward the two of you, so let's go down the mountain first." ”

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu naturally have no opinion on this. watched Princess Yiyi get on a horse and be escorted down the mountain by everyone. The two also turned over and got on the horse.

Xu Mingyuan pulled out the Qingshuang longsword that had submerged into the big tree, and glanced back at the people of the Yuntai Division who were still squatting there to check the corpse of the dead Yulin Army. With a clip of the horse's belly, he followed Li Mu towards the bottom of the mountain.

Originally, it was a hunt suitable for monarchs and ministers, but because of this assassination, not long after Xu Mingyuan and the others arrived at the bottom of the mountain, a sound of horses' hooves came, and His Majesty and a group of ministers had come down from the mountain from the side door.

There is a palace built at the foot of the mountain, although it is not as majestic as the imperial palace, but as a royal palace, the scale is quite large.

for there was an assassination. Moreover, he was from the Yulin Army, so it was inconvenient for His Majesty to appear on the high platform again, so he entered a large hall in the palace instead.

In the main hall, His Majesty the Emperor sat on the main seat, and dozens of ministers stood below. The eldest prince, who had changed his clothes, but his face was still a little pale, stood at the bottom, and Princess Yiyi was also standing beside him.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu stood at the back, bowing their heads slightly, carefully looking at the people in the main hall. And His Majesty, who sat in the first place and couldn't see any expression.

Many ministers did not enter the main hall, not to mention those younger brothers, as for Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu were able to come in. Naturally, it is related to the previous assassination.

"The minister's discipline is ineffective, and there is a crime of negligence, which puts the prince and princess in danger. It is hard to say goodbye to death, please punish Your Majesty. Chen Xuanli, who was standing beside His Majesty, knelt down on one knee. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

His Majesty glanced at Chen Xuanli, nodded and said, "Xuanli." I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but the responsibility for the negligence does lie with you, I will punish you for three years, and then order you to uproot all the people involved in this matter in the Yulin Army within three days, you can do it? ”

"Emperor Xie Longen, the ministers must go all out." Chen Xuanli said respectfully, but there was not much joy in his voice.

"Alright, you get up." His Majesty said, his eyes fell on a tall and thin official in a purple official robe in front of him, and he frowned slightly and said: "He Qingjia, the matter of this assassination is entrusted to the Criminal Department and the Yuntai Division, how to deal with it, you and Shangguan discuss it yourself, and in three days, I will see the result." ”

"Obey." The tall and thin official bowed.

His Majesty nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the ministers in front of him, fell on Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu, and beckoned to them: "You two come forward to answer." ”

Li Mu secretly bumped Xu Mingyuan with his elbow, and the two of them walked to the front under the gaze of the ministers.

Although Xu Mingyuan has seen many big scenes with his master, he really talked to His Majesty in front of a full court, and he couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart.

His Majesty has succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, and has made great efforts to govern the country, placing Longyou Road in the west, expanding Hebei Road in the north, and governing martial arts, which can be called the previous generation of Ming Jun. At this time, sitting on the dragon chair, he didn't see any expression, it was indeed his own coercion, which made Xu Mingyuan a little afraid to look directly.

"Grass people Li Mu and Xu Mingyuan, see Your Majesty." Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu spoke at the same time, both bowing and saluting.

"No courtesy." His Majesty nodded.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu straightened up at this time, their eyes drooping slightly, and they didn't dare to look directly at His Majesty.

His Majesty looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "Li family boy, you only met me a few days ago, why are you more restrained today?" ”

"In front of Your Majesty, how dare the kid make a mistake." Li Mu responded decently and did not exceed the rules.

His Majesty smiled, turned to look at Xu Mingyuan and asked, "I heard that you are here to participate in the examination?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are here to participate in the examination, this time with Li Mu into the hunting grounds, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Xu Mingyuan bowed his head slightly and responded.

"It's okay, Li Yichen never participates in hunting, I mentioned it the last time the Li family kid entered the palace, and I approved it." His Majesty shook his head and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Mingyuan bowed again.

His Majesty looked at the two of them and smiled: "Yi Yuan has already told me, if it weren't for the two of you to rescue each other this time, Yi Yuan and Si Sheng would probably die here." Tell me, 'What should I reward you?' ”

Li Mu pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty rewards me as a general, it would be good, but if it is a reward of gold, silver and satin, I can only accept it." ”

"You kid, you want to be a general before you even go to the battlefield, if you can get the first place in martial arts, I can still make you a captain." His Majesty smiled and said, looked at Xu Mingyuan again and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Hearing His Majesty's question, Xu Mingyuan was stunned, and he didn't know what reward to ask for for a while. He is not Li Mu, he dares to talk casually like His Majesty wants a general.

Seeing this, Li Mu said with a smile: "If Your Majesty really wants to reward, it is better to wait for him to pass the test and the palace test, and then reward a big official for him." He is not half a bucket of water like me, Hua Yizhi a few days ago is better than those four great talents of Chang'an. ”

"Huayi's distinction?" His Majesty said lightly, his eyes lit up, and said: "Xu Mingyuan, I just said that why is this name a little familiar, you are a student of Chongzhou Academy in Shuzhou, Jiannan Province?" ”

Xu Mingyuan was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect His Majesty to know his name, but he still nodded hurriedly and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." ”
