Chapter 133: Punishment Mu Yu
Emperor Hui was stunned, looked at Sikong Dong with some astonishment, and unconsciously shrank into a ball behind the seat.
Sikong Dong bowed to Emperor Hui and said: "Since Sikong Rong was in charge of the country, the Mu family has suppressed the family, encircled the upstarts, and cultivated minions for Sikong Rong; When his daughter entered the palace, she had a bad character, a bad heart, and an affair with Sikong Rongββ"
"Sikong Dong!" Mu Mo interrupted suddenly, only to realize that he boldly called out the name of a prince of the clan, his mind moved, and he frowned and scolded, "How can the queen mother be filthy at will!" Lord Dong should be careful when he speaks! β
"Heh, this king didn't say anything about you, but you came to accuse this king first?"
Sikong Tong snorted coldly, then turned to Emperor Hui, a pair of triangular eyes showed a fierce gaze, gritted his teeth and told, "Your Majesty!" Wechen has found out! Qin Ming, the Qintian Eunuch who instigated Sikong Rong to be the emperor and pretended to be the Holy Grandfather, is inextricably linked with the maidservant of the queen mother! At the beginning, the Xianbei tribes came to Kyoto to pay respects, and she was involved in the case of the Heavenly Compassion Crossing the Guilty Buddha, and was driven out of the Wang family by the wife of the then master Wang Xingshangshu, and later, with the token that Qin Ming got from somewhere, she mixed into the Jingguan Post Station, and borrowed the power of the prince of Duan to return to the Wang family! Later, they were seen talking in the palaceβ"
Sikong Dong paused slightly, turned to Mu Wu with cold eyes, and suggested murderously, "Calculating the emperor like this, a woman who is full of chaos and blames God for being ruthless and trying to usurp the throne, must be killed quickly!" β
"Uncle Dong Wang", Sikong Cong interjected unhurriedly and asked, "Where did you hear about these things?" Most of the palace people like to chew the root of their tongues, and they often see things chasing after the wind and shadows, so don't be fooled! β
"Lord Cong, these things have been seen by someone with their own eyes, how can this king talk nonsense?!"
Sikong Dong was slightly angry, turned his finger, pointed at Sikong Rui, and asked, "Didn't Lord Rui also complain to this king, did he see Qin Ming of Qin Tianjian talking privately with the personal maid of the queen's mother?" β
"Uncle Dong Wang!" Sikong Rui's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Sikong Dong to drag him off the horse, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly regretted telling Sikong Dong about Mu Wu's meeting with Qin Tianjian in the first place, and retorted, "When will I tell you this!" β
"Lord Rui didn't say it?" Sikong Dong's triangular eyes turned quickly, and he said meaningfully "oh", "This king is very old, and it is common for him to have a poor memory. But this king did find the little eunuch who saw Qin Tianjian meeting with the queen's palace maid, and also found the shopkeeper who saw them staying together at the Jingguan Post Stationββ"
"Uncle Dong Wang!" Sikong Huang interrupted Sikong Dong, slowly raised his eyes and turned to him, explaining, "The matter of Miss Liu'er meeting with Qin Tianjian was arranged by us. At the beginning, it was Qin Ming who relied on the celestial phenomenon of the 'Seven Stars Alignment' to get close to Sikong Rong, and deceived him into worshipping his ancestors on the eighth day of the first month of December to claim the emperor's great fortune, so that we were able to deploy troops in advance and successfully arrest Sikong Rong. β
"What?" Sikong Dong was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Sikong Huang to also help the girl round the field.
Sikong Huang took a glass of wine, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "The Mu family has done a lot of dirty things for Sikong Rong since Sikong Rong was in charge of the country, that's right. But the queen's mother had a meritorious role in protecting her, and Liu'er Niangniang directly captured the rebellious ministers and made a first-class contribution. If they are punished, then those of us who elected the Sikong Rong Prison State in the first place should not be punished even more? β
"......" Sikong Dong's face was pale, knowing that Sikong Huang was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and he was sarcastic that he had colluded with Sikong Rong at the beginning, but now he turned to him, and he blocked his chest with a sullen breath, wanting to vent, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only remain silent.
Sikong Jue was straightforward, and when he saw that he had talked about the Mu family and the queen, he said: "In my opinion, the matter of dealing with Sikong Rong can't be avoided today." The queen needs to be rewarded for her merits, but the Mu family does have to be punished for her abuse. The younger brother suggested that Sikong Rong and his cronies Gong Lu and others should be beheaded to show public example, and Mu Chongtao was dismissed, demoted to the common people, and never allowed to be an official. β
"Just dismissal?" Sikong Tong snorted coldly and teased, "Emperor Jue's nephew is really a kind-hearted person." β
"Uncle Dong Wang, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. If you dig deeper, Sikong Rong successfully supervised the country at the beginning, and it became more and more rampant, and you also have a share of the credit. If Sikong Rong did not suspect you, you were not deprived of the military power of the Kyoto garrison, and assisted Sikong Rong to claim the emperor, and now you are in prison, waiting to be disposed of, it may be you! β
Sikong Jue's words were sharp, not subtle at all, and his eyes were bright and he looked at Sikong Dong.
Sikong Tong snorted coldly, laughed instead of being angry, and asked: "Emperor Jue's nephew, wouldn't it be because this king was ordered by the emperor to dispose of your mother and brother King Kun, and he hated this king in his heart, so he thought about arranging this king, right?" β
Sikong Dong said as he saw Sikong Jue's face flushed and angry, smiled slightly, and said, "If this king agrees to assist Sikong Rong to become emperor instead of stopping him, how can Sikong Rong resign himself from this king's position?" β
"Uncle Dong Wang is loyal, the sun and the moon can be seen, we all understand."
Sikong Huang raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Sikong Dong with a light smile to toast, his sideburns and black hair hiding his deep and unfathomable eyes.
Sikong Dong's triangular eyes drooped slightly, because he couldn't guess Sikong Huang's thoughts, but he counted on him to keep his position and secretly made an alliance with him, so he didn't say more, only looked back at Sikong Huang meaningfully.
Sikong Huang smiled lightly, and then bowed his head to signal to Sikong Dong, and then turned to Emperor Hui: "According to Weichen, Sikong Rong framed loyal ministers, defiled the harem, plotted to usurp the throne, and committed heinous crimes, so he should destroy his nine clans and behead them for public display, but Mu Chongtao and many ministers in the court assisted Sikong Rong in doing things, all out of helplessness. Now, the DPRK is at the time of employing people, and if the responsibility is too much, I am afraid that it will make the courtiers tremble, and they will not dare to do their best for the emperor. Brother Chen, Mu Chongtao's matter is not as good as Brother Zhun Jue's play? Except for Gong Lu, if the ministers of the court and the central government are not seriously wrong, starting from the Xiangguo of Uncle Dong, the official positions will not be moved, what does the emperor think? β
"Ahh......h Just discuss it...... I really have a headache ......"
Emperor Hui frowned and pounded his head, his tone was very impatient.
Seeing this, Sikong Jue stopped him in time: "I see, let's stop here today." Anyway, Sikong Rong, Gong Lu, and Mu Chongtao are all locked up, and they will go to the court tomorrow, and the punishment and reward will be discussed in detail with the ministers. β
"I'm okay with that." Sikong Cong shrugged his shoulders, his expression was lazy, and he looked like he didn't care about himself.
Seeing this, Sikong Huang, Sikong Rui, and Sikong Dong also closed their voices.
At the end of the feast, Emperor Hui was quite tired from today's situation, so he left the venue first; Several princes dispersed, and Mu Mo wanted to serve Mu Wanzhen back to the palace, but suddenly found that it was snowing heavily, so he asked Mu Wanzhen to wait in the palace and borrow an umbrella nearby.
As soon as he went out, he met Sikong Dong head-on.
Mu Yu looked at Sikong Dong, his luxurious dark red court clothes were radiant, his white and round face was slyly turning, and countless fragment-like pictures flashed in his mind: In the Liangzhou military camp, in the chaos, he jumped to kill himself and Hou Fuluo to show the public; At night at the White Horse Temple, he led people to search for the whereabouts of the thieves who stole the Heavenly Compassion Buddha; In the firelight of the White Shallot Valley, the Mo family brothers who were devoured by the raging flames; Tonight, he tried in every possible way to put himself to death......
"Lord Dong." Mu Mo squinted his eyes tightly and looked straight at Sikong Dong.
