The emperor frowned and looked at Mu Zhan carefully several times, sure that he would not be okay to coax him, but his state was really worrying, "The case is closed?" So how did you wilt? ”

"The son sees that his father is happy today, and he doesn't want to tell his father, let's do it another day, and the son will retire." , This Mu Zhan is really strange, he pouts like a little temperament and doesn't wait for the emperor to say that he is flat, he gets up and turns his head to leave.

"Come back!" , this stinky boy knelt down when he came in by himself, knelt down and didn't want to talk about it and was about to leave, there is really no royal law! The emperor deliberately amplified his voice to scare Mu Zhan, who stopped and walked back two steps unhappily, kneeling down again.

"Say!" , The emperor was blowing his beard and staring at Mu Zhan to speak, and Mu Zhan raised his eyes to look at Li Xiang, looked at General Lu, and said with his armrest, "Please father, the emperor retreats left and right." ”

"Li Xiang and General Lu are both my confidants, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Please retreat from the emperor."

"Don't grind! Say it! Otherwise, I'll beat you twenty boards. ”

"Please retreat from the emperor."

Mu Zhan insisted on letting his father retreat, but he refused to say it. The emperor was not angry at first, but in the end, he was really angry by Mu Zhan, who was grinding and chirping and not speaking.

The scene was a little screwed, Mu Zhan didn't say anything, and the emperor couldn't pry his mouth open, Li Xiang looked around and took the initiative to say, "Since His Royal Highness King Zhan is interested, then the old minister will retire first." ”

Li Xiang looked at General Lu, and General Lu didn't want the father and son to be anxious here, so after seeing what Li Xiang meant, he hurriedly echoed and wanted to retire.

"You say! What happened! I don't blame you! No way, the emperor relieved himself and forgave him for his innocence, his son always forced himself to give him a gold medal for exoneration, and then did something excessive, but what he said by the monarch of the world was unspeakable and untrustworthy, he just saw the weakness of his own face, so he could toss himself again and again, he really knew his father and son.

With the gold medal for avoiding death, Mu Zhan is naturally too lazy to continue to play this brother-sister love drama, the real Mu Zhan can't wait to rush in and drag his father's ears and immediately complain loudly, but he still plays a filial son and a virtuous brother to make his words more acceptable" Qiyu father, the son found that the loss of objects in the palace was stolen by the eunuch Wu Gong, the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, the palace maid in charge of the toilet room responded, the eunuch in charge and other small eunuchs were transported out of the palace, the inner court guards released water, and the chief of the imperial city guards was transported out of the palace, A clear division of labor, involving many people, transports the property in the palace out of the palace for sale. ”

The emperor frowned, there were ghosts in the palace, he had already guessed this matter, but he didn't expect that it would also involve the third-grade officials and the chief of the imperial city guards, but the emperor vaguely guessed that this was not the biggest fish "Don't avoid the important with me, who is the master." ”

"Princess Kyaukyue, Mu Ming."

When the name was pronounced, Mu Zhan was just as he expected, and what was waiting for him was a stinking scolding that cut his head and covered his face.

The emperor was annoyed, grabbed the teacup in his hand and was about to throw Mu Zhan, but fortunately, Li Xiang's sharp eyes hurriedly stepped forward and knelt beside Mu Zhan, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

The emperor's heart was full of anger, and he calmed down, he put down the teacup in his hand, pinched the small jade pendant on his waist, and the tips of his fingers were white, he calmed his throat and put on the unattainable ruthless imperial posture, "This time, there is evidence." ”

Mu Zhan took out the confession letters of the palace maid and the eunuch from his arms, as well as the letters hidden by the palace maid, and the handwriting in the Kyaukyue Palace that he ordered his subordinates to fetch them.

This letter is himself, Mu Zhan has been compared thousands of times before, and even the paper that Jiaoyue likes to use is from the Jiaoyue Palace.

"Chang Qin, go, bring Princess Jiaoyue, the chief of the inner chamberlain, and the chief of the imperial city guards, all to see me." , At this moment, the emperor has no anger when he speaks, he calmed down, he still doesn't want to believe in reality, but he must be questioned face to face, only when Jiaoyue himself confesses, he believes in the truth of this matter.

He began to reflect on whether he doted on them too much when he was young, which made them so bold and lawless, and they all came to challenge their bottom line.

The people of Changgong received the will and hurried forward.

The emperor sat by himself, lowered his head and thought about things, he turned his head to talk to General Lu, and General Lu hurriedly attached himself and whispered, "Lu Ming, you take the guards, and when Princess Jiaoyue leaves the palace, you will go to search her bedroom, be sure to be careful, especially the correspondence." Check it all out for me. ”

As the emperor, Mu Zhao wanted the truth of the matter, so he asked Lu Ming to search Princess Kyaukyue's bedroom, but as his father, Mu Zhao worshiped the Buddha in his heart, hoping not to find out something messy.

The three people who were looking for were all in the palace, so it didn't take long for all three people to be escorted to the emperor.

During this period, Mu Zhan kept kneeling and didn't get up, and Mu Zhao was stubborn and didn't let go of his mouth to let him get up, he likes to kneel and talk, right? Then he has to look at this unlikable character like a dead stubborn donkey.

It has come to late autumn, everything is withering, flowers and leaves are falling. Even in this palace, it is difficult to be spared, people always like to be sad when they are alone, looking at the yellow leaves that have fallen to the ground, and there is no noise of summer cicadas in their ears.

The leader of the imperial city guards and the head of the internal affairs office have been escorted up, and the two knelt behind Mu Zhan and looked at each other.

Seeing each other's appearance, the chief chamberlain and the leading guards did not panic, because they were the beginning and the end, and they did not know the existence and cooperative relationship of the other party on weekdays.

But the emperor won't bring the two of them to him for no reason, but he doesn't know what it is for the time being, but it's definitely okay to say less or make fewer mistakes.

The branches of the Imperial Garden were already dry and bare, and everyone was thinking that everything was lonely, when Princess Kyaukyue came dressed in pink, with a lovely smile on her face, jumping up and down like a happy little butterfly. She shuttles through this colorless autumn color, bringing splendor to this colorless world.

Princess Kyaukyue saluted the emperor and called out sweetly, "Father." ”

But the emperor's face is always very solemn, if it is in the past, the father will definitely respond to him gently.

Princess Jiaoyue, who had approached, turned around and noticed the three Mu Zhan who were kneeling behind her, and her heart suddenly tightened. Isn't it that the matter has been revealed? It shouldn't.

The emperor's eyes were staring at the moon, although his face was very serious, but there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, which was a father's last obsession.

"Clear, if you have anything to say, tell your father honestly, don't lie to your father." , for herself, the princess, the emperor has always been very fond of her.

He knows that Kyaukyue loves to play, and usually likes to get into trouble, who he bullied today, and who he provoked tomorrow, he doesn't care, it's his own princess, and he doesn't need to be suppressed if he loves to play.

But the only thing she couldn't bear was that she deceived herself.

Jiaoyue smiled, but still insisted on being stubborn, "Jiaoyue has something to deceive her father, Jiaoyue herself doesn't know." ”

At this moment, the emperor has already seen it in his eyes, if it were on weekdays, this little girl would have been angry and rushed up to stick to herself and began to play tricks.

The emperor himself knew it, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his face was full of loss.

He threw the letter on the ground with a flick of his hand, and the flat letter had become crumpled because the emperor had held it in the palm of his hand for a long time, just like the emperor's heart at this moment.

Jiaoyue's face still had that innocent smile, she bent down and picked up the letter paper and read it carefully in her hand, the more she looked at her face, the whiter she became, and finally she looked at the letter in a panic, looked at Mu Zhan, and then looked at the letter, looked at the two people who were kneeling, looked at the letterhead, and finally looked at the emperor, at this moment the emperor had turned his face sideways and stopped looking at Jiaoyue, he rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and was expressionless, obviously he didn't want to communicate with Jiaoyue head-on.

With a plop, Kyaukyue knelt on the ground, and the pearl-like tears fell down with a snap, and the pear blossoms and rain that the little woman cried were really difficult to let go.

Before Kyaukyue could start quibbling, the emperor beckoned to the Changgong people. The people of Changgong hurriedly stepped forward, because they had just summoned Princess Jiaoyue, and they were in a hurry all the way, and fine sweat had already appeared on their foreheads when they went back and forth.

"Proposed purpose, King Zhan cracked the theft case in the palace, rewarded gold, silver and jade, a product of the official residence, gave a pass waist card, and did not need to report when entering and leaving the palace, and walked in front of the palace at will. The person involved in this case, the chief of the internal chamberlain cut his tongue and was included in the Xin Zhi Library, and the chief of the imperial city guard reduced his third-rank official rank to a civilian, and was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and beheaded at the entrance of the Japanese vegetable market. But those involved in the case were all killed. ”

The emperor issued an order to end the case, and the truth was concealed as Mu Zhan expected, and he tried his best to protect Jiaoyue, not only for his arrogant and willful daughter, but also to protect the face of the royal family.

The eunuch who was dragged away cried and shouted the name of Jiaoyue and begged her to save herself, but Jiaoyue was already unable to protect herself, and the chief of the guards knew that his fate was not long in coming, he was silent and closed his eyes and suddenly convulsed on the ground, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he struggled for a while and lay straight on the ground.

Jiaoyue was so frightened that the flower was so frightened that she knelt down and opened more, Mu Zhan stepped forward to investigate, and the man had already lost his breath, "Father Qi, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”

"Hmph, what kind of martyr is pretended to be in front of me, punish the people in his house, the women will be made into prostitutes, and the men will be reduced to slaves." , why did you bother in the first place? Pretending to be a chaste martyr in front of yourself, what did you do and didn't weigh it in your heart? Mu Zhao had never seen any scenes on the battlefield in his early years, even if someone bit his tongue in front of him and committed suicide, he didn't even blink an eyelid.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to carry the corpse away, and by the way, they dealt with the blood stains on the ground, and at this moment the front of the hall was clean, and it was completely impossible to see that a human life died here just now.

After dealing with these guilty minions, Mu Zhao was finally able to clean up his mood and ask his good daughter, "Is my father not good to you?" Is there a lack of food and clothing? Or is it overstretched? What do you want, why didn't your father give it to you? Why do you want to take the objects in the palace and sell them for money without permission? ”

"My father is very good to Kyaukyue, and Kyaukyue is grateful for her father's favor for Kyaukyue."

"Then why do you do such a thing?" , This is exactly what the emperor can't figure out, it stands to reason that the prince and princess in the palace are most lacking in money, why steal?
