Mu Tianchen was arrested, and Mu Xiangfu had just received the news and hadn't figured out what was going on, but Xiahou Jin sent someone to pass Prime Minister Mu Cheng into the palace.

Xiahou Jin didn't say much, just put Mu Tianchen's matter in front of him, the crime of assassination is heavy, he, the prime minister, will not be unclear, he has just ascended the throne, he doesn't want to kill so many old ministers, if he is unwilling, he doesn't mind letting the Mu family be punished.

Xiahou Jin said it lightly, Mu Tingzhi was terrified when he heard it, he didn't understand why Mu Tianchen did such a thing, but the crime had already been committed, and so many people were watching, there was no way to quibble, now Xiahou Jin didn't kill him, obviously willing to leave him a way out, think about it and understand.

"The old minister has been unwell all these years, and he is a little incapacitated, I am afraid that he is not suitable for dealing with the affairs of the court, so I implore the emperor to allow the old minister to pay tribute."

This attitude can be regarded as interesting, and Xiahou Jin is accurate.

Mu Tingzhi is indeed very familiar with current affairs and knows what the emperor wants, or Xiahou Jian's attitude towards him has been obvious in the past few days, and he has a premonition.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Xiahou Jin didn't like the old minister, and it was normal to want to replace him, after all, he was not optimistic about the six princes from the beginning.

He was actually still a little unwilling, and conspiracy theories felt that this was just an excuse for Xiahou Jin to replace him, but what else could he say? This court is no longer the court it once was.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the old minister's loyalty to the Chu State, I wonder if the emperor can let the old minister see the unsuccessful son?"

Assassinating the emperor, he didn't dare to intercede and say that he would spare his life.

Xiahou Jin snorted: "Mu Xiang, do you know your son's identity?" ”

Mu Tingzhi was puzzled: "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Is there anything wrong with his son's identity?

Xiahou Jin flicked her sleeves: "There are some things, I don't want to tell you more, after two days you will understand, if you still want to keep your Mu family peaceful, you should not have given birth to this son, if you have to care about Mu Tianchen, then the Wang family is your end." ”

Wang's family? How does this have anything to do with his father-in-law?

Mu Tingzhi was kicked out of the palace in a daze, and he couldn't figure out what was going on, but the emperor mentioned the Wang family, and he immediately sent someone to the Wang family to see what was going on.

So three days later, he received a message from the Wang family.

His father-in-law and two brothers-in-law were all beheaded, leaving only one body in the family, and the head was cut off, leaving not even the whole body.

Most of the Wang family did not know what was happening, but they had been exiled by the whole family.

Mu Tingzhi is not upright enough, but he has a lot of brains, he is an old fox, and some things he didn't understand originally, but after thinking about it, he understands.

Mu Tianchen assassinated the emperor, this is the crime of exterminating the nine clans, but the emperor just let him do it, which is very strange.

And the emperor didn't blame him, but moved the Wang family, that kind of means seems to be normal, but why the Wang family?

At this time, Mu Tingzhi thought that Mu Tianchen was sent to the Wang family to be taught by his father-in-law since he was a child, and it was his father-in-law who proposed it, and his father-in-law did have some ability, so he agreed, he really didn't think about this matter carefully, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid the articles in it are not simple.

The eldest lady only knew that her son was imprisoned, and her whole heart was anxious, and she ran to Princess Ninghua to beg Princess Ninghua to save Mu Tianchen, but she didn't even see Princess Ninghua's face.

came back with a worried face, but saw Mu Tingyi sitting there with a serious and deep face, as if waiting for him.

"Xiangye?"

Mu Tingzhi came back to his senses and looked at the eldest lady: "Madam, what secrets are there in my father-in-law's house?" ”

The eldest lady looked puzzled: "Xiangye, what are you talking about?" Why did you suddenly ask about your father? ”

Mu Tingzhi stared at her: "There is no news from Chu Jing's side yet, but I sent someone to Fanzhou, my father-in-law and two uncles were beheaded, and the Wang family was exiled within the five clans, what kind of big crime can make them end up like this?" ”

"What?" The eldest lady looked at Mu Tingzhi in shock, the news came too suddenly, and she was stunned, as if the sky had fallen: "How is it possible?" How is this possible? My dad and brother ......."

"This is a fact, Mu Tianchen assassinated the emperor for no reason, but the emperor did not move us, but destroyed the Wang family, what is going on here?" Mu Tingzhi slapped the table heavily: "Tell me the truth about what you know." ”

The eldest lady was so frightened that she sat on the ground with her feet soft, and tears fell instantly.

"I don't know, how could my father suddenly offend the emperor? It's impossible, my dad is old, and he hasn't been involved in these things this year. ”

Mu Tingzhi shook his head: "This is obviously not a question of participation or not, but the emperor is dealing with the Wang family." ”

"I ......" The eldest lady didn't come up with it for a long time, but to deal with the Wang family, what is there for their Wang family to worry about the new emperor?

"Is that the thing?" The eldest lady suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

When Mu Tingyi heard the play, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The eldest lady tried to think about it: "It's been more than ten years, probably the year when the Wen'anbo Mansion had an accident, I went back to my parents' house to save my relatives, my father and eldest brother were not at home, I couldn't sleep at night and got up and walked, but I met the eldest brother who was covered in blood, I was just about to help, but my father suddenly appeared, and he left with the eldest brother." ”

"I'm very worried that the eldest brother will follow, and when I got to the door, I heard the eldest brother say to his father, 'The matter has been done, it's up to the emperor's side', and what regrets he said, he wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him, if you say this, will my father have anything to do with the case in Wen'anbo's Mansion?"

Otherwise, the emperor has no reason to target their Wang family.

The Wang family is a big family, but it is some distance away from Chu Jing, and it has not participated in the battle for the throne, why did it suffer from this unwarranted disaster?

Mu Tingzhi sighed: "I'm afraid that's it." ”

This is also the only one that makes sense.

Mu Tingzhi looked at the eldest lady: "Clean up, after the first emperor's funeral, we will go back to our hometown." ”

The eldest lady was still immersed in the pain of the death of her father and brother in the accident at her mother's house, and was constantly wiping away her tears, and when she heard Mu Tingzhi say this, she didn't react at once: "What did Xiangye do when he suddenly returned to his hometown?" ”

"What to do? What do you say? It's all a disaster for your Wang family. Mu Tingzhi was angry when he thought about it, although he knew that he was not popular with the emperor, but if he could continue to be an official again, who would want to return to his hometown?

He is not old, but he has to be a gentleman, and he wants to ask why.

"The Wang family has offended the emperor, your son assassinated the emperor, our Mu family was not punished by the nine clans, it is already considered the emperor's mercy, and you are still worried about whether your life can be saved."

The eldest lady was dumbfounded, so frightened that she forgot to wipe her tears, this day is really going to fall.

What has happened in just a few days? Why is it like this?
