"Murong Haitang, Yan Fei, don't you think you should explain it to me?" Emperor Wu suppressed his anger and asked the two of them.
Murong Haitang and Yan Fei immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, we don't know either. In the morning, we did come together and then went to the morning court. At this moment, we also didn't know where Mr. Zhuri's coffin was.
where."
Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you think I will believe this?"
Murong Haitang and Yan Fei immediately knelt down when they saw this, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, just kill us two."
The corner of Prime Minister Wen's mouth twitched, "Good fellow, Emperor Wu hasn't done anything yet, so you should beg for death first."
However, even if Murong Haitang and Yan Fei knew about it but did not report it, their crime would not lead to death.
The mood of the ministers at this moment was similar to that of Prime Minister Wen. They all felt that Murong Haitang and Yan Fei were crazy and really wanted to fight Emperor Wu at all costs.
Emperor Wu didn't seem to know how to deal with Murong Haitang and Yan Fei for a while.
In front of everyone, what Murong Haitang and Yan Fei said was reasonable and well-founded. Without evidence to prove that Murong Haitang and Yan Fei were lying, Emperor Wu did not dare to do anything.
"Look for me. Find my mentor no matter what."
Many officers and soldiers were immediately dispatched, and the people were a little commotion. They didn't understand what was going on for a while.
But soon the news came back. After all, there were still people staying at Caishikou in the morning.
An object as big as a coffin cannot be moved quietly.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhuri's coffin is in the Tianxia Family Restaurant."
Immediately afterwards, he told Emperor Wu what happened.
It turned out that after Murong Haitang and Yan Fei left, Mo Qiaoer did not stay in Caishikou for long. He said to everyone present: "I want to take grandpa one last time to see the places he has been to in the capital."
After hearing this explanation, Emperor Wu's face looked much better.
He did not criticize Murong Haitang and Yan Fei harshly anymore.
Emperor Wu immediately ordered, "Go to the world as a family."
However, at this moment, Murong Haitang suddenly knelt in front and stopped Emperor Wu from moving forward.
Emperor Wu knew very well that Murong Haitang, Yan Fei and others must be up to something, so he said: "Get out of the way, I just want to see my mentor now."
But Murong Haitang did not stand up, but said to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, since you are already here, why not talk about Murong Qinghai first."
Emperor Wu's expression changed, and of course he saw Murong Qinghai who was still hanging there.
"What's there to say about a traitor? Crush the body into pieces and throw it to the dogs to serve as a warning to others."
Murong Haitang's expression changed. He really had a heart of stone when he said such words in front of her.
Fortunately, Murong Haitang was also mentally prepared and knew early on that it was impossible for Murong Qinghai to keep the whole body.
The common people didn't think there was anything wrong with this. They were thieves who were trying to rebel, and they deserved such a fate.
Murong Haitang did not refute, just said: "I just want to ask Your Majesty, since you have rewarded me for my merits, why didn't I get the reward? I killed my brother out of righteousness and stabbed my brother Murong Qinghai with my own hands. Your Majesty saw this with your own eyes."
"
"I don't ask for much reward, but my righteous act of killing my relatives is because I want to get your majesty's approval. Why does your majesty turn a blind eye to my merits?"
Murong Haitang questioned Emperor Wu in front of so many people, which can be said to be a slap in Emperor Wu's face.
The common people were also talking a lot, even pointing secretly.
Emperor Wu did not expect Murong Haitang to be waiting for him here.
Immediately he forced a smile and said, "It seems that Master Murong is impatient. Don't worry about this. I will naturally reward you based on your merits. I will remember all those who have contributed to putting an end to the chaos. After returning to the palace,
I won't let you down."
Murong Haitang did not accept this trick at all and must not let Emperor Wu delay it any longer.
"But your majesty, Murong Qinghai's body is in front of me. It is true that I killed my relatives out of justice, but I am speechless in front of my ancestors, so I would like to implore your majesty to give me a small reward now, so that I can have the confidence to go."
I feel no shame in speaking to my ancestors."
The common people nodded frequently. In the morning, everyone admired and sympathized with Murong Haitang.
Now that they heard Murong Haitang's appeal, everyone felt it was reasonable and reasonable.
Emperor Wu was about to explode with anger, but he had to agree, so he said casually: "It's good, Murong Haitang has done a great job in quelling the chaos, and his righteous act of killing relatives also highlights his loyalty to Da Wu. I am very relieved. I have thousands of taels of silver."
.”
Is this the end?
It was the first time that the ministers saw such a perfunctory reward.
Thousand taels of silver is a lot, but it is really not much, and it is completely incompatible with the heroic feat of annihilating relatives.
The common people thought that this reward was already very good. It was a thousand taels of gold, which was a huge amount of money that many people would never see in their lifetime.
Murong Haitang didn't have any complaints. She wanted all this just because she wanted Emperor Wu to make a fuss about her status as the princess of the previous dynasty.
Furthermore, it also sets the stage for what follows.
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. I thank you Lord for your kindness."
Emperor Wu sneered, "Get out of the way, I'm still in a hurry to see my mentor."
But Murong Haitang still had no intention of getting up.
Emperor Wu's face became more and more ugly, "Murong Haitang, I said you can get up and get out of the way. Didn't you hear what I said? Or do you want to resist?"
Prime Minister Wen has disappeared to watch. In this game, Prime Minister Wen doesn't even want to know who can win. He just wants to end this time quickly. It's simply too scary.
In this crowded Caishikou, under the watchful eyes of the whole city, Murong Haitang openly defied the imperial power and was looking for death.
Emperor Wu's patience had its limits. If Murong Haitang continued to push further, she might lose more than she gained.
"Your Majesty, I understand your desire to see Mr. Zhuri, but Your Majesty, if you really miss Mr. Zhuri, you should also think about Mr. Zhuri's mood."
"It's presumptuous and nonsense. Of course I understand my mentor, so I'm going to mourn his old man now." Emperor Wu really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Someone, please take Murong Haitang down and wait for her to be punished."
Several guards came over immediately, but at this time Murong Haitang shouted: "If your Majesty can really understand Mr. Zhuri's mood, then he should not ignore his three granddaughters."
"Your Majesty, you don't know that Mo Qiaoer, Yan Fei and Yan Miao originally fought with Mr. Zhuri to fight against the thieves. As a result, Mr. Zhuri died and his three granddaughters were also seriously injured."
