Murong Chuyao and Chu Xu were playing chess in the imperial study when they heard Zhaoqing come to report and say, "King Yongning and Lord Zhaoyue entered the palace together to ask to see Your Majesty." ”

Murong Chuyao knocked on the table with the sunspot in his hand, and after thinking deeply, he settled down, pretending to be inadvertent, "Really? Let them wait until I win the game. ”

Chu Xu followed closely behind, and soon also gave birth.

Murong Chuyao observed the change in Chu Xu's expression at all times, only to see that his brows were slightly locked, his eyes were always on the chessboard, and the hand holding the chess piece was protruding because of excessive force. Murong Chuyao smiled, "What is Aiqing worried about?" Judging from the current situation, Kuroko has the upper hand for the time being, but it is only a narrow victory.

"Nothing, Your Majesty, please." After saying that, he turned the situation around with a son.

Murong Chuyao didn't rush to play chess this time, but instead started a family routine with Chu Xu, "Zhaoyue is not small." ”

Chu Xu's hand holding the chess shook slightly, and he quickly covered it up again, "Although it has been passed, in the eyes of the minister, he is still a child in the end." ”

"Aiqing, Aiqing, you always treat her as a child, no wonder your relationship is not very harmonious. Whether you admit it or not, Zhaoyue has grown up. ”

"yes, grown up." Chu Xu echoed and sighed.

"Didn't Aiqing think about finding a husband for Zhaoyue?"

Sure enough, did you mention this matter?

"The minister also told her one before, but she didn't want to."

"Oh? Aiqing's eyes can be described as vicious on the battlefield, but Zhaoyue didn't look down on the husband you chose for her, I am curious about which son-in-law it is? Murong Chuyao said without distinguishing between joy and anger.

Chu Xu told the truth, "The prince of Yong'an, Mo Han." ”

Regarding the relationship between Chu Luan and Mo Han, Murong Chuyao has also heard of it, the two don't seem to deal with each other very much, and they have to fight a few words every time they meet, he used to think that this was just a flirt between the two, but now when he heard Chu Xu say that Chu Luan didn't take a fancy to Mo Han, Murong Chuyao knew that Chu Luan really didn't like Mo Han. Then he was relieved, "Aiqing too, this matter between the prince of Yong'an and Miss Shen is well known in the capital, didn't you hurt him if you promised Zhaoyue to him?" ”

Chu Xu didn't think so, "Although the Yong'an Mansion is no longer a high-ranking noble, but if you marry in, you can get a stability, even if she blames me, I am for her good." ”

"I am also a father, how can I not know your thoughts? It's just that I have many sons and daughters, and they have many thoughts, and when I think of the conspiracies and calculations in their stomachs, I don't want to care. But Ah Xu, you are different from me, you only have this one biological daughter. Murong Chuyao rarely let down his guard on his face, revealing a wry smile, "Sooner or later, people will have to go to the ghost gate to close the door......

Chu Xu heard Murong Chuyao talk about the taboo topic of life and death, and hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty-"

Murong Chuyao looked indifferent, waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to avoid, in the future, after a hundred years, I don't know what catastrophe those rebels will cause, you are my most trusted loyal minister, I am afraid that your situation will be very dangerous." But if Zhaoyue can marry someone who is superior in both power and skill, he will definitely be able to keep your Chu clan. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate, Ah Luan is stubborn, I am afraid that he is not worthy of the princes and princes."

Murong Chuyao didn't believe Chu Xu's words, thinking that he still cared about the things back then, "Ah Xu, there were some things I did back then that were really inappropriate, but I never thought of hurting you and your family, do you understand?" ”

Chu Xu looked at his eyes that had been full of vicissitudes and had been full of calculations over the years were as soft as spring water at this moment, "The minister naturally believes in Your Majesty." ”

"Then you should listen to me. None of my princes are satisfactory to me, but Wei Li's child is good, although he is not my child, but he is also grown up by me, whether it is wisdom or martial arts, he is better than many princes, and his appearance is also good, and he is a good match for Zhaoyue, what do you think? ”

Chu Xu is also very satisfied with Wei Li's child, Wei Li went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, he has made great achievements in war for so many years, his parents died early, if Ah Luan marries her, he doesn't need to deal with the conflict with his in-laws. It's just that...... He seemed to have heard that the relationship between Na Weili and Ruan Qianyan seemed to be a little difficult to say.

"Your Majesty, it's better to ask King Yongning about this matter."

Murong Chuyao really didn't understand Chu Xu sometimes, obviously the matter between Mohan and Shen Yingxue was well known, and he still had to promise the Yong'an Palace's marriage, but Wei Li had never reported any interesting stories for so many years, so he hesitated. Could it be that they have been separated for too long and are not so concerned about their daughter?

Murong Chuyao finally told him that he would ask, and persuaded Chu Xu to think about it again, and then summoned Chu Luan and Wei Li.

After Chu Luan saw the emperor and Chu Xu, he didn't pave too much groundwork, and got straight to the point, "Your Majesty, the courtier's face this time is for Zhang Sheng's case." ”

"Hasn't Zhang Sheng's case been handed over to Shen Shangshu and Shi Qiming, the head of the Criminal Health Department?" Murong Chuyao threw this matter out as if he was playing, just a little bit to knock Chu Luan not to make trouble with him.

But now that human life is at stake, where can Chu Luan still listen to it, it is a living human life, and Luoyin has only been born for a short time, she can't lose her parents, even if it is a kowtow today, she also asks for a glimmer of life for Zhang Sheng's family.

"Yes, now it is Shen Shangshu and Lord Qi who handle this matter, but they did not enforce the law impartially, and Zhang Sheng is wronged......"

"Presumptuous!" Murong Chuyao slashed at the table with one palm, and when he heard the voice, he hated to split it in half.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and all the people in the main hall knelt down.

After a slap, Murong Chuyao's hands were also a little numb, he clenched his fists inadvertently, his expression was extremely serious, and there was a chill in his speech, "Do you know that slandering important officials of the court is a big crime?" ”

Chu Luan kowtowed twice in his current posture, "Chu Luan knows, but Chu Luan doesn't want to see innocent people die in vain." The courtiers ask Your Majesty to retry the case! ”

"There is such a big crime as collaborating with the enemy, but Shen Shangshu did not take it out for public trial, isn't Your Majesty curious about why this is?"

Murong Chuyao: "Then you tell me why." ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Sheng is the largest imperial merchant in Yongguo, and he is also in charge of the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan, which can be said to be the largest economic lifeline of Yongguo. Such a big piece of fat meat, naturally some people will be worried about it. ”

"So you think Shen Shangshu framed him because of interests?"

"Nature."

Murong Chuyao suddenly laughed, "Chu Luan, Chu Luan, do you know that this Shen Shangshu is the queen's own brother and Xiu'er's own uncle?" ”

Of course, Chu Luan knew that without Murong Xiu's instruction in this matter, he alone Shen Shangshu would not be able to do things so quickly.

"Chu Luan, I advise you, you should stop this matter."

"Your Majesty! Since Emperor Yongde established Yongguo, it has been nearly 200 years, and today Yongguo is still a model for this country. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Murong Chuyao, a stunned young man like Chu Luan, hadn't seen a thousand or nine hundred when he was young, but he was the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven was right to do anything, and no one could change what the Son of Heaven decided, "Chu Luan, I will give you another chance, do you really want to avenge the grievances of Zhang Sheng's family?" ”

"Yes." Chu Luan was neither humble nor arrogant.

Murong Chuyao laughed angrily, he looked at Chu Xu beside him, and asked, "Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Chu Xu just glanced at Chu Luan, who was kneeling on the ground, and reacted quickly, only to see him walk in front of Chu Luan in two steps, and then turn around and kneel, "Your Majesty, the little girl has been in poor health recently, I think she is confused, Rong Chen will take her back, and the minister will definitely take a good look at her." ”

Chu Luan still wanted to say something, a loud slap fell on her face, and suddenly the left side of her face began to numb, gradually getting hot and painful, she didn't have time to react at the moment, she heard Chu Xu's low reprimand, "Bastard, are you going to harm the whole family for an irrelevant person?" ”

Again, again. It's for the Chu family who can't even breathe. The Chu family is now only left with their lineage, and it is no longer a prosperous family, but Chu Xu has been dreaming of glorifying the Chu family all his life, and even gave up a lot for such an unrealistic dream, his wife, daughter, and his own insignificant justice and kindness.
