Chapter 136: King Jue begged for each other
"What? Where did you offend Madame Platinum and provoke her to be so angry? ”
Sikong Huang's cold eyes turned to Mu Yu, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, with a meaningful smile.
Mu Mo snorted coldly in his heart, and secretly slandered Sikong Huang for absolutely knowingly, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm, and explained to him with his eyes down: "The prince misunderstood, the slave and maid just exchanged a few words with the lady, and the lady's measure will not be angry with the slave and the maid." ”
"Oh......" Sikong Huang swept to Poria cocos, and then turned to the middle-aged nobleman beside him, instructing, "Lord Bo doesn't know, the girl Liu'er in front of him is the palace maid in charge of the queen's side, and he once captured the rebel Sikong Rong in Beibi Mountain, and Emperor Hui praised him, and we have to give him three points." If you offend your lady by speaking straight away, I hope that the prince and your wife will take care of it. ”
"Lord Huang is too tormented Madame!" Beside Sikong Huang, the nobleman in a pure pigment suit bowed deeply and said humbly, "Clumsy and rude, I have never seen the world, if you collide with the aunt in the palace, please don't blame." ”
"Blame it or not, but the sixth girl has the final say." Sikong Huang said, his eyes indifferently towards Mu Yu.
Mu Yu raised his eyes slightly, caught a glimpse of Sikong Huang's slightly playful gaze, snorted coldly in his heart, saluted Sikong Bofu, and told him gently: "The slave and maid dare not be the prince of Bo to be so elevated, the lady and the slave can talk very well, and there is no conflict." ”
"In this way, this king will appreciate it for his wife Aunt Xie." Sikong Bo said, and made a gesture to Mu Wu.
Seeing this, Mu Yu hurriedly returned the favor, and after a few more greetings, Sikong Bo left with Poria Cocos.
Sikong Huang did not leave with Sikong Bo and his wife, but stayed beside Mu Wu, put his hands behind his back and asked, "What's the matter?" Let Prince Bo make amends for your sins, and help you raise your eyebrows in front of Mrs. Bo, do you feel angry? ”
"Huh!" Mu Yu secretly sneered, thinking of Sikong Huang's actions, he secretly sneered in his heart that he wanted to buy himself with a small favor and a small favor, but on the surface, he was still calm, and lowered his eyes, "The prince has a heart for the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are grateful." ”
"Cistanche", Sikong Huang leaned over to Mu Yu's side, the faint fragrance of orchid grass came to his nose, a pair of eyes looked at her quietly, and asked solemnly, "What did you think about what I said that day?" I really want to keep you by my side. ”
"Lord Wang......" Mu Yu's heart moved slightly, but then he shook his head, secretly took two steps back, and said politely, "The kindness of the prince, the slave and maid understand it, but the slave and maid know that they are blessed, and I am afraid that they can't stay by the side of the prince to serve." ”
"Alas," Sikong Huang sighed softly, "I still hope you think about it carefully." ”
"Lord Wang", Mu Yu lowered his eyes, "The slave has thought twice, and I just want to serve the queen wholeheartedly." ”
Sikong Huang looked at Mu Yu, his eyes showed a look of disappointment, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly and walked away.
A few days later, Mu Yu heard news from the court: Sikong Huang was in charge of the country, and played to Emperor Hui, Sikong Rui had previously suppressed the rebellion and was awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant, and the duties of the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the palace were revoked, and Sikong Bo took over; and transferred Sikong Bo's maternal brother Sikong Zhong to Xuchang, replacing Sikong Dong as the governor of Yuzhou military, and transferring Sikong Dong back to Luoyang to continue as prime minister.
At the same time, he secretly disbanded the original palace guards and replaced them all with his cronies of the Qi State.
Mu Yu understands that Sikong Huang is exquisite, not the same as Sikong Rong; In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Sikong Rong and ensuring that his current position does not fall, he has begun to deploy troops in Kyoto, and he has risen and secretly landed in the air.
Sikong Rui followed Sikong Heng's plan, calculated what he planned, and still stepped down as the commander of the Praetorian Guard after pretending to be indignant.
In the blink of an eye, in the late spring and early summer, Sikong Huang had been in charge of the country for two or three months, he was diligent, humble, and extremely respectful to Emperor Hui, and praised the government and the opposition; Gradually, the courtiers' trust in him deepened, and Sikong Huang became more and more busy.
In May, Sikong Huang asked Emperor Hui to move into the palace on the grounds that he had complicated affairs, needed to report to Emperor Hui frequently, and frequently traveled back and forth between the palace and the mansion to delay the process; Emperor Hui approved that Sikong Huang would move into the dormitory that Sikong Dong had renovated at the end of that month.
Originally, the courtiers slandered and talked about Sikong Huang wanting to follow in Sikong Rong's footsteps, but unexpectedly he moved into the palace very low-key.
In addition to using two or three guest rooms to rest and do business, leaving more than a dozen palace people to serve, the wine pond and meat forest are all closed.
Slowly, the chatter in the court gradually subsided.
In July, the heat gradually came up, and Mu Wanzhen had some heat stroke, so she asked Mu Mo to go to the imperial dining room to ask for some ice porridge to cool off; When Mu Mo came back from the imperial dining room, when he arrived at the imperial garden, he saw a young man with clear eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, wearing a purple shirt and gold tortoiseshell crotch armor, standing under the acacia tree with his hands behind his back, pursing his lips, frowning and looking at Mu Wu's direction worriedly.
"Lord Jue?" Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, and looked around, "Are you waiting for the slave?" ”
"Girl Liu'er", Sikong Jue frowned and hesitated for a long time, "I have something I want to ask you." ”
"Please?" Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Lord Jue, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Girl Liu'er", Sikong Jue looked around, signaled to Mu Yu's eyes, and took her to a remote and uninhabited place before she opened her mouth to inform, "I came to ask you to help investigate the current 'Luoyang Mihuang Case'." ”
"Oh, I've heard about this too", Mu Yu nodded in agreement, thinking of what he had just heard in the imperial dining room, and informed, "I just came back from the imperial dining room, and I was listening to the rice shortage in Luoyang this year, and the price of rice is extremely high. But it is strange to say that this year's rain is abundant, not a major drought year, and it stands to reason that the crops will not be very bad, so how can there be a rice shortage? ”
"The matter...... That's why I'm asking you to help me investigate. ”
Sikong Jue gritted his teeth and said with a little resentment, "A few days ago, Luoyang was short of rice, and I heard the servants of the house say that only 'Taikang Zhuang' in the whole of Luoyang can buy rice and grain at a high price, but they have tenant farmers who rent fields outside the city to farm, but they say that this year's harvest is excellent, the grain has been paid to the treasury early, and the taxes are still several percent higher than before, so I feel puzzled." ”
"First, the harvest is excellent, how can there be a rice shortage? Second, even if there is a rice shortage, the national treasury is so high in taxes this year, why not open warehouses and release grain to help the hungry, but it is still spread by the situation of rice shortage in the city? ”
Sikong Jue said, clenched his fists, and told word by word with more and more resentment, "After coming and going, I finally found some rumors from Shangshu Youchengyang Tongzhi. It turned out that Sikong Huang and 'Taikang Zhuang' joined forces to monopolize the market, hoard, raise prices, and collect profits from them, but Zhongshu Ling Wang Xing and Prime Minister Sikong Dong pretended to be deaf! ”
"Girl Liu'er", Sikong Jue turned to Mu Yu and said with some embarrassment, "I know that this matter is difficult for you, but Sikong Huang is ...... to you It's really different from others. I would like to ask you to ...... Help ask Sikong Huang, and if possible, persuade him; Now he is diligent in supervising the country, and he is also respectful to the imperial brother, if this matter can be stopped in time...... My second brother and I ...... I also want him to assist the emperor all the time, and really want to hand over all the military power...... It doesn't hurt. ”
