Chapter 504: Demotion to the Lord
Wu Anhou was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Shen Wenyan and said, "It's not something to hide, it's okay for Young Master Shen to listen to it, after all, there will always be some unknown things in a family, are you right, Young Master Shen?" ”
Shen Wenyan smiled and said, "Master Hou is right, which family doesn't have some secrets, it's just big or small." ”
Wu Anhou's eyes narrowed, then smiled faintly and did not answer. It was Yun Chen, looking at the undercurrent between the two of them, and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Shen, you left the palace last time you didn't have a good stroll, why don't you let Father-in-law take you around now?" ”
"Since Brother Su said so, then Wen Yan is respectful, it is better to obey his fate." After finishing speaking, he got out of the side hall.
Wu Anhou was relieved when he saw this, looked at Yun Chen, and told the Mu family's secret story. Although Yun Chen also knew something, the details were not so detailed, but he listened carefully.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that imprisoning that rebel would cut off his contact with the outside world, so I thought...... I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. As he spoke, he knelt down directly and kowtowed to Yun Chen seriously.
"Your Majesty, my father was also like keeping my second uncle's only bloodline at that time, and the matter was a little ill-considered, please forgive your majesty." After saying that, he knelt down behind his father's left.
Yun Chen's expression was faint, he didn't say anything, and the entire side hall was silent for a while. Wu Anhou's heart tightened, what he originally thought was uncertain, after all, His Majesty's mind is not easy to guess. He'd seen her methods in the past few months. Mu Jianchen was also a little nervous in his heart, but he didn't think about it so much, it was normal for His Majesty to be angry about this kind of thing, after all, the fault of this matter was in the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
"There is indeed something wrong with the Marquis of Wu'an in this matter, not to mention this kind of treason, if it is investigated, it will not be too much to exterminate the clan." I don't know how long it took for Yun Chen to speak, his voice was cold, and he didn't feel emotion when he listened.
Wu Anhou and Mu Jianchen were shocked when they heard her emotionless words.
"However, for the sake of the Mu family's generations as a cloud country, and Wu Anhou is a prominent military achievement, I will deal with it lightly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Anhou's father and son breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Yun Chen's words. Although they had expected it, they were a little nervous under Yun Chen's momentum.
"However, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, originally I wanted to cut the title of Marquis of Wu'an, but for the sake of General Mu for the sake of the country some time ago, I dealt with it lightly, so I demoted the title of Marquis of Wu'an by one level, Uncle Wu'an."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Anhou and his son were a little excited, originally thinking that their lives were worry-free, but the title could not be saved, but they didn't expect it to be an accident.
"General Mu, I hope you don't live up to my expectations of you."
"Your Majesty, the minister must be dedicated to the country and will not disappoint Your Majesty, please rest assured." Mu Jianchen respectfully kowtowed to Yun Chen.
"That's good, when you contribute in the future, I look forward to your performance."
"Yes."
"Well, get up, don't kneel."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Anhou's father and son said in unison. After speaking, Mu Jianchen hurriedly helped Wu Anhou up again and looked at Yun Chen.
"As for that secret passage, Aiqing sent someone to investigate, but what did you find?"
"Your Majesty, the secret Dao minister in Xiyuan sent people to investigate, but there was no trace of Mu Jianfeng and the concubine of the Shen Mansion, but something unusual was found at the exit."
