Chapter 5 Retreat as Advance
"I heard that the second uncle said that the mother and brother were unwell, and I wanted to come and see it for a long time, just after the morning meeting today, I went back to think about it carefully, and I had an idea in my heart, so I came over to discuss with the mother concubine."
Mu Rong said innocently.
"Oh, what thoughts?" Mu Chaobi's eyes narrowed.
"In the morning, Ji Chong's old puppet said that the second uncle was in charge of the town of Yunnan, and the military and political power of the general palace was not right, and after the nephew went back to think about it, he felt that it did make sense, if it was always like this, I am afraid that not only the palace and the court, but even the world, and even the emperor may think so."
Mu Rong said unhurriedly, seemingly unaware that with his words, the cold light under Mu Chaobi's eyes became thicker and thicker.
"The second uncle has done his best for the palace and the people of Yunnan, but he has to bear such an infamy, the nephew really can't bear it, and the nephew has shallow qualifications, and he is shallow in his knowledge, so he is really not worthy of inheriting the shadow of his ancestors."
"So my nephew decided to ask the emperor for his permission to cancel his nephew's position as the prince of Qianguo and inherit it to the second uncle.
Mu Chaobi, who was already murderous, heard this, and the chill in his eyes instantly turned into infinite ecstasy.
His eyes stared at Mu Rong tightly and said, "What you said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true, but I also asked the second uncle to forgive my sins, and after the nephew thought about it himself, he didn't discuss it with the second uncle, so he asked people to notify the royal officials to return to the council hall and prepare to announce the matter."
Speaking of this, Mu Rong paused again, raised his eyes and looked at Mu Chaobi with a clear eye: "I also boldly asked people to call angels to witness together." ”
"Haha, what's the matter? You are the son of the world, and within the land of Yunnan, you have the final say! ”
Mu Chaobi laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go back, sister-in-law, Rong'er and I will leave." ”
After speaking, he didn't give Mu Rong a chance to talk to the princess, and directly pulled Mu Rong out.
All the way back to the palace hall, a group of palace officials have rushed back after receiving the order.
Seeing Mu Rong and Mu Chaobi coming in together, the expressions on their faces changed, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
When Mu Rong sat down on the throne, an official asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has to order his ministers to come to?" ”
Mu Rong glanced at Mu Chaobi, and waited for the other party to nod before he spoke.
"After today's morning court meeting, the prince of this world went back and thought about it carefully, and felt that what the official said was not unreasonable, although the governor was ordered by the emperor to replace the town of Yunnan, but it was never a long-term solution, and the son of this world is about to become an adult, which is inevitably criticized."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials suddenly changed color, and they all looked at Mu Chaobi.
But seeing that Mu Chaobi was full of smiles, he didn't mean to be angry at all, so they all pressed down the doubts and voices in their hearts for the time being, and looked at the situation.
Then Mu Rong continued: "So I want to announce at this moment that I am willing to give up inheriting the position of the Duke of Qianguo, and go to the emperor, this position should be the residence of those who have both ability and political integrity, and ask the emperor to give him a favor and give the governor to inherit the title and rule the land of Yunnan." ”
Wow!
As soon as Mu Rong finished speaking, there was an uproar in the council hall.
Everyone was stunned, and couldn't understand why Mu Rong made such a decision, only Mu Chaobi showed a smug expression.
In the next second, most of the officials began to congratulate Mu Chaobi, and said a few words of Mu Rong Xianming by the way, but only those old ministers had solemn faces.
Just when the council hall was full of joy, one of the old ministers finally couldn't help but stand up.
"The old minister has a discussion, His Royal Highness gives up the title and gives up the governor's position, it is absolutely impossible!"
When Mu Chaobi heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
The soldiers on the left and right immediately stepped forward a few steps, surrounded the old minister in the middle, and pressed the hilt of their swords with their hands, ready to move at any time.
There was a murderous intent in the council hall.
Even Mu Rong's heart was secretly tight, he expected that these old ministers would speak out against it, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so fierce.
At the moment of crisis, he knew that he couldn't let Mu Chaobi speak first.
If he really saw blood, Mu Chaobi would inevitably stop doing nothing, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
So I didn't care much, so I stood up and said coldly: "I don't want to, don't say anything, come on, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" ”
