"You two give me some energy, walk to the door of the main hall in a while, Your Majesty and the civil and military officials inside can be seen, and when the time comes, you will find that we look like this, but you will be detained." ”

The guard county in the middle was a little unhappy, and said in a low voice and with some impatience.

"What's so scary, he should have known what happens if he didn't have people when he took half of his guards to move things. It's good, I didn't sleep at night, I didn't say anything, I only slept for an hour and was called up again to patrol, it's better not to sleep. Xiao Wu, why don't you talk anymore? Don't you usually talk a lot. ”

Mu Yaoxi knew that they were calling themselves, but at this time, speaking was tantamount to exposure, so he had to lower his head and cough, raise his hand to cover his lips and deliberately lower his voice so that he couldn't hear who he was.

"Ahem...... After turning so many times last night, I may have caught a cold, and my throat hurts badly now. ”

The man who walked in front replied with a light sigh.

"It's no wonder that I'm starting to get a headache now. Don't speak, it's time to get to the front of the main hall, you two pay attention. ”

After speaking, the three of them changed their appearances, and walked through the hall with their waists straight and energetic. Mu Yaoxi turned his head sideways and saw Mu Yunting with his back to him, all the officials had already left, and only Mu Yunting was talking to someone.

How could he miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he didn't care about the surprise he saw after entering the palace, and flew towards the "Mu Yun Pavilion" with his back to him.

Seeing that the steel knife in his hand was about to touch Mu Yunting's body, at this time, hundreds of Praetorian Guards suddenly appeared from all over the hall, and for a while Mu Yaoxi was already surrounded, and at this moment, Mu Yaoxi realized that the person in front of him was just a stand-in wearing a dragon robe.

And it was Xu Lianyi and Mu Yunting who slowly walked out of the side hall, and before Mu Yunting could speak, Xu Lianyi directly stepped forward a few steps and scolded Mu Yaoxi loudly.

"I originally thought you were a good person, just stumbling over something and having to do something, but you didn't kill at the last moment, but this time you are really disappointed! You actually want to kill him! Or by such despicable means! Do you know what will happen once Mu Yunting dies? What will happen to the people of Da Mu and the Xiongnu at that time?"

Mu Yaoxi just said nothing with a calm face, Mu Yunting stretched out his hand to pull Xu Lianyi behind him, and slowly spoke.

"Mu Yaoxi, do you think you are very powerful? Do you think that I will definitely die in your hands? But the matter between you and me is not so simple, it is not something that can be killed if you want to. ”

Mu Yunting was telling Mu Yaoxi that it was enough to stop, and at the same time, he was also warning him that now he could directly ask for his life, but he wouldn't do that, just because of this relationship. After speaking, Mu Yunting handed a letter in his hand to Mu Yaoxi.

"This is my father's reply. ”

It turned out that on the way to the capital, Mu Yaoxi not only met Mo Jinxi, but also had a pleasant relationship with her. This time, things have become simpler, the two people who were originally-for-tat had to truce because of the relationship between the previous generation, anyway, there was no loss on both sides, and this assassination had to be regarded as if it did not happen.

The Praetorian Guards all retreated, and Mu Yaoxi also threw down the knife in his hand to give up, took the letter in his arms and walked out of the main hall to leave.

Xu Lianyi naturally knew the content of the letter, and immediately stopped Mu Yaoxi.

"Where are you going? We won't reveal this, and if you come to assassinate you today, it will be treated as if it didn't happen, and if you go out now, do you plan to let more people know about it, and stay in the palace tonight." ”

Mu Yaoxi stopped, seeming to hesitate. Did he hear it wrong, the Xu Lianyi, who was still righteous and awe-inspiring just now, actually started to think about him at this moment, but staying in the palace for one night and leaving tomorrow will be a lot less trouble, turned around and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much. ”

Mu Yunting, who was standing on the side, saw Xu Lianyi and Mu Yaoxi talking, and his heart palpitated, when the stand-in who was covered in blood was at the head of the bed where the golden chains were located, when he was not there, he didn't know how much Xu Lianyi had suffered. At this moment, although he received a letter from his mother, he still grabbed Xu Lianyi's arm with caution, for fear that something would go wrong in the next moment.

Xu Lianyi and Mu Yunting have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and they have long been aware of each other's every action and eyes. Now, he is worried about himself, and the matter of placing Mu Yaoxi will be left to his subordinates. Stretched out his hand and beckoned a maid waiting at the edge of the hall and commanded.

"Take him to live in the side hall that he cleaned up last night, don't let others find out, remember to send it when lunch is over, come to me if you need anything, he is a distinguished guest, don't neglect it." ”

The maid is also regarded as serving in Xu Lianyi's palace, and she is usually not a personal maid, she does some chores in the palace, but she can be regarded as smart and clever. It's only fitting that she does something like that.

When the maid heard this, she walked to Mu Yaoxi's side and led him to the room that was cleaned up yesterday to settle down temporarily, Mu Yaoxi didn't bother to do anything more, just drank tea and read books in the room.

After Mu Yaoxi left, Mu Yunting took Xu Lianyi back to the dormitory to rest, sat on the side with some jealousy, and looked at Xu Lianyi's leisurely appearance of half-leaning and half-leaning and muffled to speak.

"Lianyi, that Mu Yaoxi caught you and almost killed you, why are you still so good to him? ”

Xu Lianyi almost laughed out loud when she heard this, and walked over to sit beside Mu Yunting and explained softly.

"What do you mean by eyebrows...... He just looked back at me, didn't he arrange a place to stay so that he would not delay sending him back tomorrow? When he kidnapped me before, although he said he wanted to kill me, I still came back well, didn't I, I just thought that his nature was not bad, not what you thought. ”

After hearing her serious explanation, Mu Yunting was relieved, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, caressing her still flat lower abdomen.

"I know, I still don't believe you after so many years, it's just that Mu Yaoxi is too cunning, no one can figure out what he means, although his nature is not bad, but you better stay away from him. And now that you're pregnant, don't worry about so many things all day, it's only right to rest every day. Got it?"

I didn't think he would be jealous for a look, but doesn't that mean that he cares about himself very much. Xu Lianyi smiled and leaned on his arms and nodded in reply.

"Got it, don't you worry, didn't the Imperial Doctor say that our children are fine, and normal actions and thoughts are not in the way. ”

Early the next morning, after Xu Mingde saw Xu Lianyi and Mu Yunting, he set off to take Mu Yaoxi to the Xiongnu. Along the way, the two didn't say anything, and it wasn't until they entered the territory of the Xiongnu that Mu Yaoxi handed Xu Mingde a notebook. Said quite solemnly.

"This is the evidence and record of the bribery and evil practices of the DPRK and Chinese officials that I have collected during my time in the capital, and I didn't expect it to be so thick when I sorted it out. Take it back and hand it over to Mu Yunting, as for what to do, he has the final say. ”

After listening to him, Xu Mingde naturally knew the importance of this account book, wrapped it in a cloth and put it in his arms, and did not dare to delay for a moment to return to the capital to meet Mu Yunting and Xu Lianyi.

After the account book arrived in Mu Yunting's hand, even Mu Yunting was shocked, frowned and read the account book, sat down and said to Xu Lianyi.

"I know that bribery has always existed in the DPRK and China, but I didn't expect that more than half of them have already ...... The evidence he collected found far more people than I had imagined. ”

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and this principle is the same for the court, but at this point, it will not work without rectification. Xu Lianyi also looked at the account book with a solemn expression and said her opinion.

"When it comes to the Qing Dynasty program, the content of this account book is full of evidence, and it must not be a fraud, although Your Majesty has cleaned up those lower-level officials, those who can't be moved for the time being will be kept first. It's inevitable to make mistakes, and it's still important to give them a chance to mend their ways. ”

On the same day, Mu Yunting cleaned up many low-level officials in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, either moved left to a deserted place, or directly drove out of the capital and was never allowed to enter the court as an official, and cleaned up these people left and right, and it would not shake the country.

But the rest of the officials did not feel so good in their hearts, and seeing so many people being disposed of, everyone began to endanger themselves. Mu Yunting was angry and remembered what Xu Lianyi said, so he took the thick stack of evidence and the records at the gate of the palace and set fire to the files of the officials who had been driven away.

The remaining officials looked at the shredded paper in the flames. It's like watching those who have been driven away burn to death.

Although Mu Yunting didn't speak, the meaning was already very clear, he would not pursue the past things, but if anyone dared to do such a thing in the future, the officials who were disposed of today would be a lesson from the past.

After the officials dispersed in fear, Mu Yunting summoned Qiao Guogong alone in the side hall.

"Qiao Guogong, I summoned you in the side hall today, just for one thing, after all, Guogong's status is special, and some things still need to be cautious. These are some letters and receipts about you, and they can't be faked, right?"

Qiao Guogong pretended to know nothing and took the scattered papers, and after reading them, he put them aside directly, and replied quite calmly with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty I'm afraid you don't know, there are many masters of seal carving and imitating handwriting in the capital, and it's okay to make such a thing, you're afraid that you will be deceived by someone." The minister has been conscientious and conscientious over the years, and you know everything he has done, these things are simply forged to frame the old minister, and please ask Your Majesty to know it. ”
