Chapter 21: Solicitation and Coercion

Qi Yu ordered someone to transport the things found from the ghost hand Liu back to the house, and before he could catch his breath, he received the emperor's summons.

As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qi Yu saw that the emperor was gloomy, and the fourth prince, Qi Rui, stood in front of the emperor with his hands down.

"Son, meet my father." Qi Yu muttered in his heart, and hurriedly saluted the emperor obediently.

"I've heard you've got a lot of good stuff." The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yu and asked coldly.

Qi Yu secretly glared at the fourth prince, and secretly cursed in his heart that there was no way to go back to the things that had been in his hands.

The fourth prince looked at Qi Yu with cold eyes and gritted his teeth: "Seventh brother, even if we are the princes, we can't break into people's houses and take people's property. ”

"Fourth brother, that ghost hand Liu is good at counterfeiting, don't you know."

Qi Yu reported to the emperor that Zhao Cheng Temple of Dali Temple used the ghost hand Liu to forge the case file, and then glanced at the four princes proudly.

The four princes hurriedly saluted the emperor: "Father, even if the ghost hand Liu does something illegal, it should be handled by Dali Temple, and the property obtained should also be handed over to the treasury, how can I fill my own pocket." ”

Qi Yu looked at the four princes scoundrelly: "I helped Dali Temple catch this person, can't I move back to the house to have a good time, so how can the fourth brother take care of his affairs today?" ”

The emperor looked at the two people standing below with a little disappointment, now the Great Qi country is in turmoil, the border pass Huns are coming, and Xingzhou has been raining heavily in recent days, and there are probably floods that will happen.

The open and secret struggle between the princes, he didn't know it, but the position of the crown prince was ......

The boss is cowardly and obsessed with women, although the fourth is decisive and neat, he is too fierce and cruel, the sixth is outstanding but does not eat the fireworks of the world, and the seventh does not learn and has no skills.

Swinging away the two people who were still arguing below, thinking about their four sons, the emperor hated iron and steel.

Dali Temple

Mu Chenmo watched Qi Yu command his subordinates and put the dozen boxes that were moved back to the mansion in Lord He's room.

Qi Yu greeted Lord He with a displeased face, and Lord He smiled and asked people to count the boxes and then ordered someone to carry them away.

Qi Yu looked at the box he carried away with nostalgia: "Mu Chenmo, are you going to go down, I'll go with you?" ”

"Didn't they all carry it to your house, why did they come here again?" Mu Chenmo followed Qi Yu's gaze and looked at the box and spoke.

"Damn, Qi Rui, he actually sued in front of his father." Qi Yu put his hands around his chest and rubbed his back molars and kicked the threshold.

Seeing this, Mu Chenmo directly ignored the people next to him and turned around and was about to leave, thinking that the duck with a waste of his beak could still fly away.

"Mu Chenmo, don't forget to thank me." Mu Chenmo looked back suspiciously and saw Qi Yu with a smug look on his face.

Mu Chenmo directly ignored Qi Yu, who was still looking at her behind her, and left Dali Temple and went back to the General's Mansion directly.

As soon as he arrived at the General's Mansion, the porter reported that the Seventh Prince had sent a box, and the lady had ordered someone to carry it back to Qingsong Courtyard.

When Mu Chenmo returned to the house, he saw the red lacquered wooden box in the center, stepped forward, opened the lid, and saw the books inside, and flipped through them and found that they were all military books.

Thinking of Qi Yu's stinky fart appearance when he left Dali Temple, he showed a chuckle, and sighed that Qi Yu's brain circuit was really different.

"Young Master, Madame, please come over." The green plum crunch said outside the door.

Mu Chenmo closed the box and followed Qingmei to Mu's room in Cangbai Courtyard.

Mu Chenmo opened the door curtain and saw Mu Mu sitting on the chair with a sad face.

"Call me over, what's the matter?" Mu Chenmo walked into the room and looked at Mu Mu, who was in a daze.

Mu Mu looked up and saw Mu Chenmo hurriedly beckoning him to sit down and asked.

"Mo'er, it has been smooth to come to Dali Temple recently."

After Mu Chenmo sat down, he nodded at Mu Mu with a sad face.

"In recent days, the house has received a lot of invitations," Mu Mu looked at Mu Chenmo uneasily, stirring her handkerchiefs with her hands and said: "The eldest prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince have all sent it, and the seventh prince even sent you a box of gifts." ”

"Mo'er, I know you're doing a good job now, but it's better not to make friends with these princes."

Mu Mu looked at Mu Chenmo with some embarrassment, and didn't know how to tell her about the royal matter.

"I see, I have my own sense of proportion with them." Mu Chenmo nodded and looked at Mu Mu, who didn't know how to speak

"I asked Qingzhu to put the invitation I received recently in the small study for you, and the gift of the Seven Princes has been put in the house, you can watch and deal with it."

Mu Chenmo appeased Mu's mother, came to the small study and saw a thick stack of invitations on the table, opened it and looked at it carefully, it was nothing more than some content that invited him to go on an outing to enjoy flowers and a banquet to participate in the poetry meeting.

ordered Zhou Qi to move the books sent by Qi Yu in the house to tidy up, and suddenly had an idea in his heart when he watched Zhou Qi's action of sorting out the books.

"Zhou Qi, you may understand these books in your hand."

Zhou Qi was puzzled, but he still obediently flipped through the book, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became.

"Young master, these are rare good books."

Zhou Qi's round eyes and the expression of his nostrils slightly opened amused Mu Chenmo.

"Understandable?"

Zhou Qi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he nodded vigorously at Mu Chenmo.

"It's good to order you to come to the small study every day to read books for two hours." Mu Chenmo looked at Zhou Qi with a smile and said.

Zhou Qi nodded again, Mu Chenmo waved Zhou Qi away, sat behind the bookcase, and thought carefully about how to refuse these invitations without being affected.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Mu Chenmo left the gate of the General's Mansion, she saw a person who looked like a housekeeper walking towards her.

"Master Mu, this is going to the palace, I am the housekeeper of the Great Prince's Mansion, and I came today to invite you to the Great Prince's Mansion for a gathering."

Before Mu Chenmo could come and speak, a person who looked like a housekeeper saluted him.

"Lord Mu, the fourth prince invites you to come to the banquet at noon."

"Lord Mu, on June 15, the sixth prince invites you to participate in the poetry meeting in Juxian Building."

Mu Chenmo looked at the three butlers who appeared in front of him in some surprise with some surprise, and hurriedly refused them one by one, and got into the carriage as if he had run away, patting his chest with palpitations.

As soon as he arrived at Dali Temple, he saw that Qi Yu was already sitting in the yamen waiting for him.

"I heard that your house was very lively this morning." Qi Yu turned the teacup in his hand and shook Erlang's legs as if he was watching a good show.

Mu Chenmo ignored him and walked directly past him and sat behind the bookcase, sighing in his heart, the four princes have all arrived, is this going to make up the king?

"The eldest brother is cowardly, the sixth brother is not familiar with political affairs, only the fourth brother, you have to be careful, he is a person who must be repaid."

Qi Yu touched his nose and looked at Mu Chenmo helplessly, looking like he would never ignore him, and couldn't help but remind him softly.

"You and I have copied the ghost hand Liu's nest, and the fourth brother is bound to do something in order to appease his subordinates."

Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu expressionlessly, and couldn't help but think in his heart that this troublesome essence must be far away.

"Is it all over? With that, you're ready to go. ”

Mu Chenmo was no longer looking at Qi Yu, and lowered his head and began to review the case file sent today.

Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo's expression, resisted the urge to quarrel with her, and slandered Lu Dongbin so much that he didn't know the hearts of good people, and the kind reminder was still boring, and he flicked his sleeves and left.

Mu Chenmo approved the official documents all morning, rubbed his somewhat sore neck, and prepared to go to lunch.

"Master Mu, can you enjoy a face and dine with Xiao Wang."

Mu Chenmo followed the voice and saw a man in a dark brocade robe, wearing a jade crown bowing his head at him, and after a little thought, he hurriedly saluted.

"The Fourth Prince." If he refused, before he could say it, he looked at the fourth prince Qi Rui, and shook something in his hand at her.

Mu Chenmo's face turned black when he saw it, and he left with the four princes.

The group came to the private room of Tianxiang Pavilion.

Mu Chenmo looked at the four princes with a little coldness: "Fourth prince, say it, what do you want." ”

"Well, as long as you do things for this king, I won't do anything." The four princes looked at Mu Chenmo evilly.

"Where are the people!" Mu Chenmo glared at the four princes angrily.

Ghost Hand Liu lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Lord Mu, as long as you give me the book "Taigong Art of War", I will keep them safe." ”

Mu Chenmo clenched his fists and stared at the four princes with cold eyes: "The Art of War of the Taigong is in the hands of the seventh prince. ”

"Hahahaha, hand over the art of war within three days, do things for this king, and release people for this king, otherwise ......"

Mu Chenmo pursed his mouth with a tense face, his fists clenched and gurgling, suppressed the desire to beat people, and said goodbye and left.
