Text Chapter 61 Cutting Power
The Night Pearl, which was originally reported to be lost, now appears in the dowry given by the Meng family. The person who set fire to the theft was also the attendant of the Meng family, and the five portable jade pendants were like five iron mountains, pressing heavily in Meng Qiushuang's heart. In the palace, the emperor Long Yan was furious and asked sharply, but Meng Qiushuang was unable to answer with cold sweat on his forehead.
Seeing this situation, Mu Tiantuo felt a burst of worry in his heart, and kept hinting with his eyes that Meng Qiushuang would answer quickly, but to no avail.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Originally, it was a good thing that the Night Pearl was lost and regained, so why be angry. Zhuo Yucheng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Mu Changfeng softly, and he gestured to Mu Yunxiao with his eyes.
Mu Yunxiao understood, immediately stepped forward, and said to Mu Changfeng: "Father, what Shenwu Jun said is true. It is a good thing that the treasure is recovered, and it is a matter of joy. As for why this treasure appeared in the Meng family's dowry, let the retainers deal with it?" Mu Tiantuo heard this, his heart was not good, if he really let Mu Yunxiao deal with this matter, it would inevitably search the Meng family, and at that time, everything in the Meng family would be turned out of the water, including what he did to the Fu family back then, and the intersection between the Meng family and Tianwen...
"Old Meng, if you don't say anything more, when the second brother takes over this matter, you and I will be finished. He whispered to Meng Qiushuang that instead of sitting still, it was better to strike first! Even if there was a loss, he could afford it!
Seeing that Meng Qiushuang suddenly sobered up, he immediately stepped forward, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said to Mu Changfeng: "It is the unfavorable discipline of the small people that will make these attendants' hands and feet so unclean! It must be that they stole the Night Pearl and put it in the dowry, and then they were greedy for money, so they turned back and wanted to steal it! It was the fault of the little people! The little people knew their mistakes!" This was a quick evasion, and in a blink of an eye, all the blame was put on the five dead people. Anyway, there is no proof of death, and he Meng Qiushuang is not afraid of trial.
Zhuo Yucheng secretly said in his heart that Meng Qiushuang was really cunning and despicable, but this was also in his expectations, if Meng Qiushuang really fell so easily, how could he support the power of the entire family, and how could he sit firmly in the first position of the family for so long.
Now that Meng Qiushuang has already expressed his position, Mu Tiantuo naturally needs to express it, he really admires Meng Qiushuang's reaction in his heart, and explains it like this, even if his father can't find any flaws, he can open his mouth as a guarantee. So he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hand and said: "Father, the son believes in Meng Lao's character, he is loyal to Darui, and he will definitely not put the tribute into his private pocket, it must be these slaves who are greedy for money and money have a bad idea!
The children of the family behind him, seeing that the eldest prince and Meng Qiushuang were like this, also stepped forward one after another, and said in unison: "Please let the emperor know!"
Everyone was united, except for a few people from the poor family such as Yang Ming, Shen Wei, and Lin Xuan and other generals, above the court, all the ministers knelt on the ground and asked in unison, such a battle made Mu Changfeng fall into contemplation. How could he not know the truth behind this matter, but the power of the family is so huge now, if he insists on curing Meng Qiushuang's crimes, it will be difficult to maintain the stability of the hearts of the people above the government and the opposition!
Half an hour later, Mu Changfeng swept through the kneeling ministers of His Royal Highness, and looked at Zhuo Yucheng on the side, seeing him nodding at him slightly, he sighed and said, "I know." Let's get even. ”
"This..."The kneeling ministers looked at each other, what does the emperor mean, does he let Master Meng go or not?
"I will not punish Meng Lao. Rest assured, you guys. "Meng Qiushuang, leave it to Zhuo Yucheng and them to deal with.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" all the ministers bowed their heads and thanked him, and the big stone in the hearts of the people of the family was finally put down. Meng Qiushuang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the emperor is still afraid of the power of the family.
"But..."I just took a breath, only to hear Mu Changfeng speak again, and suddenly the hearts of the people of the family were raised to their throats again. Xu Hai looked at Mu Changfeng's face from the side, it seemed that the emperor would still take action this time, and he would never let Meng Qiushuang go so easily.
Zhuo Yucheng also had a plan for Mu Changfeng, glanced at Mu Yunxiao, smiled, and retreated to his original position, quietly listening to Mu Changfeng speak: "Old Meng, your Meng family's attendants committed such a wrong act, because you did not discipline effectively, after retiring from the court today, you will be in the house, manage the subordinates in the family, and the affairs of the court, you don't have to worry about it for the time being." Mu Changfeng had already intended to separate Meng Qiushuang from the court, but he had not found a suitable opportunity for a long time, and today happened to be on his mind.
Mu Tiantuo raised his head suddenly, surprised by Mu Changfeng's words. Originally, Meng Qiushuang had no official position, at the beginning, he spent a lot of effort to get his father's consent, and let Meng Qiushuang follow him to the court as a sidekick to listen to the government, but now, due to a moment of negligence, let his father take back such privileges, which is like a strong arm that binds Mu Tiantuo!
Looking at Meng Qiushuang's face again, it didn't get any better. His face was pale, and his lips and teeth trembled. He worked hard and worked hard step by step, only then did he gain a place in the court, but now, because of this incident, he lost his position in the court! Hateful! Annoying! But helpless! In the eyes of others, this kind of punishment is indeed the lightest, and he cannot refute it, and he can't imagine that Zhuo Yucheng's methods are so superb! As soon as he makes a move, he loses his position in the court! In the future, if he wants to control the information of the court situation, he will not be as handy as in the past!
"Yucheng, I have to say that your generous gift has indeed won my heart. Mu Yunxiao turned his head and whispered to Zhuo Yucheng. This shot caught Mu Tiantuo and Meng Qiushuang off guard, and the effect was also praiseworthy!
"Second Brother Mu praised him like this, Yucheng understood it, but it was disrespectful. Zhuo Yucheng responded slightly, then stood up straight and looked ahead. I saw Meng Qiushuang gritting her teeth, her hands hanging on her sides, as if she had given up the struggle, she knelt down on her knees in front of the emperor, and bowed her head: "Xiaomin, thank the emperor for his grace, and in the future, he will discipline the people in the palace well, and he will not repeat the mistakes of the past." The last four words are for myself and Zhuo Yucheng. Stinky boy, today's hatred, tomorrow, he will pay back!
Oh, Master Meng, you can't fight me today, and in the future, can I still give you a chance to turn the tables. Zhuo Yucheng sneered coldly in his heart, this person, the most terrible thing is not failure, but not knowing what kind of opponent he is facing.
"Well, okay, today, do you still have anything important to do?" Mu Changfeng seemed to be a little tired, holding one hand on the corner of his forehead, gently rubbing his temples, his body was really not good, he was slightly angry, he felt dizzy, he had to go to rest, thinking about Bai Muqing, who was waiting quietly in the study, there was a little peace in his heart, I really wanted to see her soon.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do. A vigorous and powerful voice resounded through the court, Mu Changfeng heard the familiar voice, and immediately looked up, only to see Lin Xuan straighten his back, and said with a respectful salute: "Your Majesty, some sophisticated weapons have often been lost in the army recently, although the number of losses is small, but the minister thinks that my Darui army has always been strict in the name of strict management of the army, and has always been disciplined, such an act has indeed violated the taboo in our army, and the minister hopes to be able to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
This sounded like a trivial matter, I don't know why Lin Xuan would be so formal in the court, most of the people present thought that Lin Xuan's move was a bit of a fuss. But Zhuo Yucheng and Mu Yunxiao noticed a trace of abnormality, but before they were confirmed, they both kept silent and waited quietly aside.
Hearing this, Mu Changfeng looked at Lin Xuan meaningfully, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, why did such a trivial matter still need him to report it in person by a great commander, could it be that there was another hidden secret? Mu Tiantuo on the side also looked suspicious, staring at Lin Xuan, but did not find the slightest abnormality.
For a long time, Mu Changfeng couldn't see anything from Lin Xuan's face, so he waved his hand and said, "This is a trivial matter, Lin Qing, you decide for yourself." ”
Lin Xuan got a reply, and immediately leaned over and kowtowed, "The minister's order." His eyes seemed to glance at Zhuo Yucheng and Mu Yunxiao inadvertently, and then returned to his position.
Second Brother Mu, it seems that we have something to do again. The spiritual sense transmission sounded in Mu Yunxiao's ears again, and Lin Xuan's eyes, he also saw it, it seemed that Lin Shuai had something important to discuss. secretly replied to Zhuo Yucheng, do you think, why did Lin Shuai find the two of us?
Presumably, it is related to weapons, listening to Lin Shuai's words, it must be those missing weapons, there is something wrong. Zhuo Yucheng replied, otherwise, he would not have deliberately found them for some ordinary lost weapons.
Mu Yunxiao understood and bowed his head slightly, showing that he knew. Zhuo Yucheng also withdrew the spiritual sense transmission technique at this time, and stood honestly.
Mu Changfeng looked down and saw that no one was playing again, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, since there is nothing to do, then wait and retreat!" He really wanted to end this morning court quickly, thinking about the person waiting for him in the study, and his heart was extremely eager to see her.
"Wait, retire. "The royal decree that the early dynasty was dissolved, and all the ministers bowed their heads and bowed and retreated one by one. Walking to the door, Mu Tiantuo walked in front of Zhuo Yucheng with Meng Qiushuang, one with a blue face and the other with hatred.
"Brother Yucheng, you... Hey!" Mu Tiantuo pointed at Zhuo Yucheng with his finger, and when he saw him looking at him with a smile on his face, he was annoyed in his heart, and just after he said the word you, he couldn't spit out a word again, so he threw his sleeves and left with his hands behind his back, Meng Qiushuang stared at Zhuo Yucheng with both eyes, and glanced at him fiercely, if his eyes could kill, presumably Zhuo Yucheng would have died thousands of times by now.
"This time, it was the old man who was negligent! But boy, don't be complacent, the old man won't let you feel comfortable!"
"It's scary. Zhuo Yucheng pretended to be frightened and stroked his hand on his chest, turned his head to Mu Yunxiao and smiled: "Second Brother Mu, you see, the master of the Meng family is so fierce." It seems that in the future, Yucheng watched him have to walk around. As soon as these words came out, Mu Yunxiao smiled, this kid can be so poor when he is so popular.
"If you were to say that you were frightened, I would never believe you. It's good that you didn't scare people to death. Mu Yunxiao scolded with a smile and dragged him forward.
At this time, I only heard a powerful male voice behind me: "The two of you stay." When he turned his head, he saw Lin Xuan standing behind the two of them.
