Because of Mu Fengyan's worries, Concubine Liu became a lot haggard in just a few days, and she was dressed up brightly on weekdays, but today she was dressed plainly, and she didn't even wipe the fat powder, and she looked more than ten years old.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with King Jin?" As soon as he entered, he spoke in a questioning tone.

This is a problem left by Concubine Liu when she was still a concubine, except for the first emperor and her own son, she will not be polite to anyone, even if she is in such a difficult situation now, Mu Fengyan's life is in the hands of Mu Liancheng, and it is still this superior posture.

Fortunately, Mu Liancheng is generous and will not deal with a woman, and he has not changed his face because of this.

"According to the law of the country, he will be beheaded after half a month."

"You dare?" With an impulse, Concubine Liu kicked her nose in the face, and half threatened Mu Liancheng.

Rao is no matter how careless he is, and it is impossible to treat it with kindness.

"Why don't I dare? Lao Qi is in rebellion, and there is no monarch in his eyes, and it is already merciful that I did not Ling Chi. ”

Concubine Liu was furious: "When the emperor was alive, he left a last word telling you to treat your brother well, but it's only been a few years, have you forgotten?" The spirit of the emperor in the sky can watch you! ”

This made people want to laugh, and they couldn't even listen to Feng Qingfang on the side, let alone Mu Liancheng?

"The first emperor did ask him to do so, but it was based on the fact that the brothers were in peace and kept to themselves, and the old seven rebelled, so should I still give up the throne to him?"

"You deliberately set a trap to lure him into the bait! You've wanted to get rid of him for a long time, and now you've got your goal! Concubine Liu clenched her hands into fists and roared angrily.

Mu Liancheng stared at her, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was gloomy.

"In this way, the concubine already knew that King Jin was going to rebel, right? But you're silent and watching it happen? ”

"I didn't, don't wronged me!" Concubine Liu hurriedly denied it, but her evasive gaze had betrayed her.

"Whether it is wronged or not, you know it in your own heart." Mu Liancheng sneered, "You can rest assured, I promised King Jin that I would treat you well and let you enjoy your old age in peace." ”

"You ......" Concubine Liu felt that this sentence was a mockery of her own red fruit, and she was even more angry that her face was red and her neck was thick, and she almost turned her back in anger.

Mu Liancheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and he was going to drive people out immediately: "Half a month later, the king of Jin will be extremely henchmen, I know that the concubine is reluctant to be the seventh, but the holy decree has been issued, it cannot be changed, what you say is useless, if there is nothing else, please leave." ”

Speaking of which, it is obvious that there is no room for maneuver, Feng Qingyan thought that Concubine Liu should leave with a dead heart now, but she suddenly knelt on the ground with a "bang".

At this moment, not only Feng was stunned, but Mu Liancheng was also stunned.

Concubine Liu is disgusting, but no matter how she dislikes people, she is also the concubine of the first emperor, and it is unreasonable to even salute the emperor, let alone kneel.

Mu Liancheng hurriedly stood up, but his attitude remained the same.

"What is this doing, concubine?"

"Your Majesty, I beg you, spare Feng'er's life, you can expel him from the royal family, or directly send him to the frontier, you can deal with it however you want, just ask your subordinates to be merciful and let him live, I only have such a child, if he is gone, what hope do I have for the rest of my life?" Concubine Liu burst into tears, without the slightest loss of her previous arrogance, which made Feng feel sympathetic when she saw it wildly.

However, even so, she did not recommend that Mu Liancheng spare Mu Fengyan, because this is not an innocent person, and its danger is no less than that of Mu Beituo back then, as long as this kind of person lives, his ambition will never disappear.

She looked at Mu Liancheng to see how he responded.

I saw him frown slightly, groaned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, his gaze was resolute and cold.

"Come on, take Concubine Liu back to the North Palace, take her to guard it, from now on, she is not allowed to take half a step out of the palace gate!"

Concubine Liu, who had completely lost hope, fell to the ground, the last glimmer of brilliance in her eyes disappeared, and all that was left was despair, at this moment, she suddenly screamed and rushed towards Mu Liancheng fiercely.

But before he could get close, he was held down by the guards who rushed in from outside the door, and he couldn't move.

"Mu Liancheng! If you dare to kill me, I won't let you go!" Do you hear me, I won't let you go......"

dragged out the distance, and there were terrible shouts and scoldings, which made it seem that the silence in the hall was eerily strange.

Mu Liancheng sat back in his place, his eyebrows and eyes were exhausted, Feng Qingfang looked quite distressed, and walked over to hold his hand, trying to give him a little warmth and strength.

"Frivolous, do you think I'm not fit to be an emperor?"

"How do you say that?" Feng looked at him in confusion, only to see helplessness and confusion in his eyes.

"The emperor should be decisive and even ruthless, and I, my heart is too soft, even killing people like Mu Fengyan will be unbearable in the end." Mu Liancheng showed a self-deprecating smile, and said, "Perhaps, I really shouldn't have been this emperor in the first place." ”

Feng shook his head wildly, and said: "As the king of a country, he wants to be decisive and decisive, and occasionally be ruthless, but who said that it must be the six relatives who don't recognize it?" People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Even though Mu Fengyan is hateful, but it is also a living human life, it is normal for you to have compassion, this just shows that you are an emperor with a benevolent heart, which is rare. ”

The height is unbearable, and now that she looks at Mu Liancheng, she can finally have a little understanding.

"I'm afraid that after experiencing more things like this, my heart will be hard, and I will become a person with a heart like iron and stone and no feelings in the future, more ruthless and cold-blooded than the first emperor, and everyone will leave me, even you." As he spoke, Mu Liancheng lowered his eyes and hid the sadness in his eyes.

Feng leaned over and whispered, "No, I will never leave you, no matter what you become, I will always be with you." Besides, she didn't believe that Mu Liancheng would become a hard-hearted person.

"Really?" Mu Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, stared down at her, sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and the haze in his heart finally dissipated a little, "You don't regret it?" ”

"Why go back? I'm afraid you'll regret it. Feng chuckled wildly.

Mu Liancheng took her into his arms, and the two snuggled up to each other and didn't speak for a long time.

Before leaving, Mu Liancheng asked Feng to be crazy about something: "After leaving the palace, go to the princess's mansion and take a look at Ziyan, and in addition, help me say a few good words by the way." ”

"Why, she still won't forgive you?" Feng asked with a snicker, since she learned that Mu Liancheng was not sick at all, Mu Ziyan felt cheated, so she became angry, and she didn't want to pay attention to him for a few days, and hid alone in the princess's mansion to sulk.

"This girl has a very gentle temperament on weekdays, and she doesn't lose her temper easily, but once she loses her temper, it's terrible, I don't dare to touch this knife at this time, you have a good relationship with her, you can try."

Feng Qing shook his head wildly and said: "Okay, I'll just run, but I also lied to her, she must be annoyed with me, whether she can see me or not." ”

Half a month later, Mu Fengyan and his henchmen who participated in the rebellion were beheaded at the East Noon Gate, and on the same night, Concubine Liu was heartbroken and hanged herself in the palace with a three-foot white silk.

After all, Mu Liancheng did not kill them all, and exempted the families of the rebels and the three clans from the death penalty, but all of them were sent to the frontier.

As for the people on that list, he didn't do much to investigate, the dismissal of the dismissal and the demotion of the demotion left a way to live, and another accomplice of King Jin, Princess Mingjing, who protected the country, fled as early as the night Mu Fengyan was arrested, and now he is missing.

At this point, King Jin's rebellion case is over, and of course, there are also the gangs of Jianghu characters who followed Mu Fengyan to make trouble, and Mu Liancheng will not let it go.

After the situation in the capital stabilized, he sent Eryou to the south to lead the troops to exterminate the gangs in the rivers and lakes such as the Sanssouci Gate Liuyun Palace.

After more than half a month, most of the gangs' nests and strongholds in various places have been smashed by officers and soldiers, many people have been arrested, and more have fled in all directions, and those little minions have fled, and there is no need to chase them, but gang leaders such as Mencius Yan and Jiang Jing, Jiang Mingche, and Wan Ye must be arrested and severely punished, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come back in the future and threaten the imperial court.

So, the main task of the next two tours is to hunt down these people.

But these people are very good at hiding, even if the second tour launches a secret guard search, it will be a long time to achieve nothing.

In the early summer, Wuzhou is already rainy, in a remote town in Yang County, the drizzle is falling like silk, every household is hiding at home and does not go out, the streets and alleys are empty, few people walk, a peaceful and quiet.

In the midst of these innumerable, densely packed houses in the water town, there is a house with a closed door, shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

"Big brother, how long are we going to hide here? I want to go to my father and mother, but I don't know if the people from the government have already broken through the Maple Forest Villa, in case they are caught, we can try to save them. The woman in the emerald dress said anxiously.

The black-robed man next to her looked at the rain flowing from the eaves, and said expressionlessly: "Even if my father and mother are arrested, you and I can't save them, because it's a self-defeating net." ”

These two people are the young master and eldest lady of Sanssouci Gate, Jiang Mingche and Jiang Louyue brother and sister.

For more than a month, they have been on the run, watching their fellow citizens die, fleeing, and some being arrested, and their parents' life and death are uncertain, but they can't do anything.

"I'd rather be arrested with them than hide here and do nothing, so I don't want to live like this!"

Live? Jiang Ming was stunned, his black eyes flickered a few times, and the corners of his mouth gradually showed a hint of self-deprecating laughter, now they are indeed living, but even if they are living, he has to continue, because there is no choice, he can't admit defeat and can't bow his head.

"If you are arrested to save your parents, do you think they will appreciate you? They will only call you stupid and sad for you. ”
