43 The Changing Court

Two days later, a big news suddenly came out in the DPRK - Zhu Mo, the commander of the Northern Military Mansion, was demoted to guard the gate of Luoyang City due to his ineffective work, and Mao Hongbin, who had already resigned from his official position, was arranged to enter the Northern Military Mansion.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.

Even if Zhu Mo didn't solve the case within the specified time, it was tantamount to erasing it to the end and becoming the lowest general. And Mao Hongbin himself resigned and didn't do it, and now he has been promoted to this position, isn't it because there have been new changes in the form of the court?

Although no one dared to talk about it, they knew it in their hearts.

Mao Hongbin sat in the lobby of the Northern Military Mansion, playing with the big seal, and looked at the guards, attendants, clerks, and even grooms, cooks, and miscellaneous servants of the Northern Military Mansion kneeling below.

Zhu Mo was demoted, but they remained in their place.

But what will happen after that is hard to say.

The new official takes office with three fires, who knows if it will burn on himself?

When Sima Lun walked in, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then asked, "What is Master Mao going to do?" ”

"Lord Wang." Mao Hongbin hurriedly got up and saluted, "The lower official is just thinking, the duties of the Northern Military Mansion are important, and the lower official is probably embarrassed and heavy." ”

"So what? The king said you can, and you can. Sima Lun laughed, "Didn't you do a good job of thorn history?" That place in Qingzhou has also wronged you. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Mao Hongbin immediately bowed his head.

"Actually, you really didn't need to resign in the first place. It was also the king's negligence. Sima Lun was amiable and even showed the appearance of a brother, "You are only a few years younger than me, so don't be restrained." You see, your cousin Lu Pingyuan and I often chat around the fireplace, and we are all our own family. ”

Mao Hongbin's expression twitched slightly, because his cousin has always been a sloppy horse, and most of the gorgeous rhetoric he wrote was an ode to imperial power, which was really refreshing.

"Xia Guan and his cousin haven't seen each other for a long time......" he wanted to clear up the relationship.

"Hey, I'll see you tonight. This king is the east, just go to your Mingyue Tower. Sima Lun didn't allow him to continue, but patted Mao Hongbin on the shoulder, "The Northern Military Mansion is related to the safety of the imperial city, you don't have to think too much, since this king strongly recommends you to sit in this position, he is also optimistic about your ability, I believe you will be able to do well!" ”

“…… Thank you for your appreciation. Mao Hongbin kept his head down, becoming more and more restrained.

"Of course, you also have to understand that the Northern Military Mansion guards the safety of Luoyang City, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness." Sima Lun put away his smile and became serious, "The case of Fengluan's burning has not yet been solved, and now there are two more murders. As this king said to you yesterday, solve the case as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't think you'll be able to sit firmly in this position. ”

What is this? Mao Hongbin was on his belly, but he continued to lower his head and replied, "Yes, yes." ”

"Give you another seven days to solve the case as soon as possible." Sima Lun's big hand patted Mao Hongbin again.

The strength used was a little great, and Mao Hongbin bowed down in pain.

"By the way, the inn in Mingyue Tower can continue to open tomorrow. I don't think your Mao family will get mixed up with that slut Jia Nanfeng. That son of your brother shouldn't have been with that slut either, right? Sima Lun's smile returned to his face, "Okay, you can do things first." In the evening, the king called Shanglu Plain, Sun Xiu, and Yang Xuanyi to go to Mingyue Tower for dinner. ”

"Okay, okay." Mao Hongbin's attitude was humble, and he completely lost the boldness and happiness of that day on the day of the winter brewing of Mingyue Tower.

There is a rumor in the market that Jia Nanfeng likes young men after the abolition, and often finds some young men to have fun. And one of the sons and nephews of the Mao family seems to be on a certain list.

He had already heard Sima Lun's off-string sound, and Mao Hongbin lowered his head.

Luckily, there was no one else in the house, only the stove was blazing brightly.

After Sima Lun left, he asked Wuwei Qin Chaoge to accompany him up and down the Northern Military Mansion and did some routine work.

And Yang Xianrong is a different scene.

Because her mother came into the palace to see her with a sheep in her arms, Tianyuan Hall was much more lively.

Mother Sun brought a lot of sheep to give Rong Rong's favorite food, and Zhang Luo added a few new clothes to her, and quietly wiped her tears when she measured the size.

Her younger sister Yang Xianpian slept on the warm couch in the inner sanctum, her face flushed, while she whispered to her mother.

Lan Xiang and Cui Xi went in and out to help prepare some tea and stoves, and also watched for anyone to eavesdrop.

"There are a lot of rights and wrongs in the palace, and my son should not leave the palace at will." Sun was extremely uneasy, took the hand of the sheep and rubbed it carefully.

"Mother, I'm not going out, it's just that there is a new murder in this murder case, and it's really tricky......" Yang Xianrong explained.

"This is not Taishan County, the old grandmother lets you play all kinds of things, but this is the imperial city, and you are the queen now."

"So what? Am I going to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life? Yang Xianrong's voice suddenly rose a little higher, "Mother, I agreed to marry at that time just because my grandfather and Sima Ying went to the ancestral house with five hundred soldiers...... In that case, I have to say yes even if I don't say yes. Besides, if Li'er is treated by Xu Zhenren, there may be a chance to turn around......"

"Rong'er, there is no need to talk about these things anymore. All you have to do now is to be your queen and be obedient. ”

"Mother! Mother! Yang Xianrong took Sun's hand with his backhand, "Didn't we secretly say before, if Li'er's illness is cured, I will leave the palace and stop being this queen......"

"Shh Sun immediately covered Yang Xianrong's mouth, "Whisper! ”

"Hmm......"

"These words will rot in my heart in the future, and I will never say them again!" Sun was extremely stern, "No one can say what will happen in the future." ”

"Hmm......"

"Before I came in, I just got the news that Zhu Mo has been demoted, and Mao Hongbin has become the middle waiter of the Northern Military Mansion, do you know what will happen in this?"

"Huh?" Yang Xianrong took Sun's hand, "What happened?" ”

"Your father said that this is Sima Lun who is standing up for you." Sun is very serious, "Sima Lun currently values the two people the most, Wenchen is your grandfather Liu Xiu, and the military general is Concubine Li's father Dong Yuanhe. Now it is obvious that he belittled Zhu Mo, which is to lose Dong Yuanhe's face. Concubine Li is becoming more and more high-profile in the palace, and on the wedding night between you and the emperor, she actually pulled the emperor and didn't let go...... This is ignorant of the rules, and it is bound to teach some lessons. ”

Listening to his mother relay the words of his father Yang Xuanzhi, Yang Xianrong immediately understood.

went to the Northern Military Mansion to investigate the case, which was also acquiesced by Sima Lun.

After all, his position as queen also depends on this one to sit down.

So, what's next?

"Sima Lun knows that you and Mao Hongbin are old acquaintances, and Mao Hongbin also has an excellent relationship with his grandmother. Therefore, even if he doesn't like to be an official, he has to press him and sit in the Northern Military Mansion, just to find someone for you who can talk and move. Sun touched Yang Xianrong's little face, "Rong'er, the situation in this court is changing very quickly, which is not a good thing. But now, the situation is in your favor, and your mother is finally a little more at ease. ”

"Then I'll go and solve these two murders, this should be okay, right?" Yang Xianrong seemed to have caught something, but it was just a fleeting thought.

"Can it be broken?" Sun was a little skeptical.

"Of course, mother, I am your smartest Rong'er." She was lying in Liu's arms, just a child.
