"Chu Lechan asked if there was a chicken or an egg first. The concubine is talking about chickens, and she's talking about eggs." Du Zijin said, and said, "Sister Yuelan and Yuelu also said that there were chickens first."

The women also continued to discuss.

Only Ning Yuelan hurriedly ordered to go down, let the kitchen get the tiger whip, and then get a bowl of deer blood for Chen Mo to drink to make up for it.

Chen Mo asked Ning Yuelan not to have to be so troublesome, and then answered Chu Lechan's question: "It's the egg that comes first."

After getting Chen Mo's response, Chu Lechan seemed to have great support, and said proudly to Du Zijin: "Did Du Zijin hear it, the husband said it, it was the egg first, who is stupid...".

Du Zijin glanced at Chu Lechan, ignored her, but looked at Chen Mo, and wondered, "Husband, why did you have eggs first?"

"This..." In fact, the scientific community in Chen Mo's previous life has already reached a conclusion on this question, that is, there are eggs first, and then there are chickens, which seems to be related to the follow-up theory.

Chen Mo has not read this document specifically, so he can't give Du Zijin a specific explanation.

All he knows is that the scientific community has given the verdict that there are eggs first, and then there are chickens.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of his wives and concubines, Chen Mo said, "I also saw this in a book, I forgot the specific details and which book, you can find the specifics."

It's getting late, I have to go to the morning pilgrimage."

Chen Mo washed up with his true qi and walked towards the outside of the house.

"Husband, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Ning Yuelan said behind her back.

"Come back and eat again." Chen Mo said.

As soon as Chen Mo left, Chu Lechan and Du Zijin chattered again.

Chen Mo hasn't been to the early court for a long time.

Even when he was in Beijing, it was every once in a while in the early days.

Therefore, the ministers were a little surprised when they saw that Chen Mo had just come back yesterday and had come to the morning court today.

In the court, Emperor Xiao Jin Yuan sat on the dragon chair, his small body couldn't support the wide dragon robe at all, and he didn't look majestic.

Empress Dowager Zhang held behind the bead curtain at the back, and when she saw His Royal Highness Chen Mo, she looked a little excited, and hurriedly greeted the palace maid on the side and commanded in a low voice.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"All the ministers are flat."

The little emperor raised his hand.

Of course, the ministers did not kneel and salute, but only bowed.

The state of Chu has not kneeled for thousands of years.

The eunuch on the side pulled his throat: "There is a book, and there is nothing to retreat."

Just as the ministers were about to play, Chen Mo, who was the leader, took a step forward and said, "The ministers have the right to play."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court was silent.

You must know that in the past, even if Chen Mo was in the court, he basically didn't speak, let alone play or something.

But as soon as I came back this time, I had to play.

Could it be that something is wrong?

Or is Chen Mo preparing to attack Southern Zhou?

It's just that the treasury is not full at the moment.

There's no money to fight Southern Zhou.

If Chen Mo really started to attack the Southern Zhou.

Some ministers have already figured out how to persuade them.

However, what Chen Mo said next made the ministers dumbfounded.

As soon as Chen Mo said it, he said that the minister was guilty.

This will not be able to fix the ministers.

If you want to say that Chen Mo is guilty, of course there is.

If you really want to count, you can find a dozen of them.

But the current Chu State is not the Chu State of the Chu family.

It is the Chu State of the Chen family and the Du family.

Isn't it a fuss that you are in power and say that you are guilty?

Who would dare to convict you?

Chen Mo then talked about where his sin was.

He said that he was negligent and "lax in discipline", so that his father-in-law Ning Zhengzhong used his power to engage in power and property trading.

made Zhu Yong cover his face with one hand in Xia Lin, and in the fish and meat township, he deceived and concealed his superiors......

Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to punish the crime.

As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked.

Some of the officials trembled a little.

However, more officials thought that Chen Mo just wanted to go through the motions and set off his selflessness, not really to convict Ning Zhengzhong.

Xiao Teng was the first to stand up and say that Ning Zhengzhong should have just been deceived by the people below, and he didn't know at all, so that His Majesty would forgive.

Xiao Teng felt that Chen Mo was just going through the motions, after all, Ning Zhengzhong's two daughters were married to Chen Mo, and one of them was still a wife, and now their father was to be punished, and this backyard must not catch fire.

After Xiao Teng stepped back, Qiao Yiyang also stepped forward and pleaded for Ning Zhengzhong.

The little emperor is still young, how can he understand this, and looked back at his mother behind the bead curtain.

Empress Dowager Zhang had the same thoughts as Xiao Teng and Qiao Yiyang, and felt that Chen Mo didn't really want to convict Ning Zhengzhong, but she had been with Chu Jinyuan for so long, and she still had some political acumen, so she looked at King Zhenxi and asked for his opinion.

To be honest, King Zhenxi didn't know what Chen Mo meant, so he had to move his gaze to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo said categorically again, and asked His Majesty to convict him and Ning Zhengzhong.

As soon as these words came out, they caused an uproar among the ministers.

Now they knew that Chen Mo was really going to convict Ning Zhengzhong.

It's just that they don't understand, why is that?

Is the husband and wife at odds?

However, for the sake of Chen Mo's face, the ministers did not dare to condemn Ning Zhengzhong to death.

Not even to be exiled.

only gave a painless fine, and glanced at Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo was not satisfied.

The ministers looked at his face and knew that the condemnation was light.

After some discussion, a conclusion was finally reached.

That is, confiscate all of Ning Zhengzhong's family property and put him in prison for a year, so that he can reflect on it.

Let Chen Mo only convict one of negligence.

The punishment is only a one-year penalty.

And because of Ning Zhengzhong's matter, the hundred officials began to self-examine and self-examine.

Towards the end of the morning dynasty, Chen Mo started another thing.

That is to arrange for an official to be the county guard of Xia Lin as soon as possible.

At this point, the early dynasty has just ended.

Chen Mo walked out of the council hall, and as soon as he finished talking to the king of Zhenxi, before he had time to say a few words to Xiao Teng and them, a eunuch came over and said in a low voice, "King Mobei, the queen mother is invited."

…

Jingshi, Ningfu.

Since Chen Mo was still the Marquis of Mobei, Ning Zhengzhong came to Jingshi, and he lived completely, without the slightest intention of returning to his hometown in Yangzhou.

Although he did not hold any official position in the court, he was just a cloth cloth.

But his family is in the middle of nowhere.

The officials who came in and out of his house every day had to break the threshold of the Ning Mansion.

Some people even say that Ning Zhengzhong's home is a small court.

Ning Zhengzhong is clothed, but he is better than the prime minister.

But today, a group of brocade guards broke in.

The guards in the house couldn't stop it at all, so they hurriedly went in to report.

Ning Zhengzhong lay under the gazebo, holding fish food and feeding the fish in the lake, while enjoying the massage of the maids.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly came over and reported, "Master, it's not good, Jinyiwei is here."
