But seeing Chao Cuo was about to leave in anger, Xiao He quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"Can't? What can't be done?"
Chao Cuo was angry and naturally raised his voice and said: "How can the country continue if you are like this! Brother Xiao should know my thoughts. I am not feeling well today and I may not be able to enter the palace to teach your majesty. Farewell!"
He stopped laughing and stared hard!
As Chao Cuo's voice fell, a murderous intention suddenly arose in Wang Mang.
"Stop!"
Almost at the same time, a cold shout suddenly sounded in the court hall.
Li Mu slowly turned around and looked at Chao Cuo and said word by word: "Chao Zhangji, what do you think this is? Is it your vegetable garden or your backyard? Do you come and go when you want?"
But after hearing what Li Mu said, Chao Cuo also turned to look at him angrily.
With his chest heaving and his eyes red, Chao Cuo shouted in anger when he saw Li Mu like this: "What do you think, Your Majesty? Are you going to punish me for the crime of disrespect, or are you going to hand me over to the general?"
"Punishment? Humph!" But after hearing what Chao Cuo said, Li Muyi raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "You have too good intentions! If I let you down like this, wouldn't I be taking advantage of you?"
"Chao Cuo!" Li Mu suddenly raised his voice and yelled at him: "Aren't you unwilling to follow me into the palace? Now I am not doing what you want. No matter whether you are really sick or feigning illness,
You have entered this palace today."
Don't be angry but be proud of yourself, be angry and swallow mountains and rivers!
Li Mu's shout made all the officials tremble.
How long has it been since they saw His Majesty being so domineering and arrogant?
Since His Majesty moved the capital to Yecheng, every time they went to court, all they saw was His Majesty's fear and flattery towards Wang Mang.
The hall was silent, and all the officials focused their attention on Li Mu.
Seemingly feeling that the killing intent behind him had not dissipated, Li Mu slowly turned around and looked at Wang Mang under the attention of the officials.
The angry look just now disappeared when he turned around, and was replaced by a shy and confused face.
Looking at Wang Mang with such a submissive face, Li Mu said cowardly to him: "General... General, I was just angry for a moment, so I got a little carried away..."
But seeing that Wang Mang did not return, and the murderous intent in his eyes had not dissipated, Li Mu continued to cowardly say: "General...General, you won't be angry with me, will you?" ?Just now I was a little angry and dizzy, so..."
"Your Majesty!" He stretched out his hand to interrupt what Li Mu was saying. Wang Mang stared at him with squinted eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to explain to me, I can understand."
After saying this to Li Mu, Wang Mang looked outside the palace and shouted loudly: "Here comes Chao Cuo, Your Majesty. He defied the laws of the court. He took off his official robe, dragged him out and beheaded him."
The thing he was most worried about happened, and this also gave Li Mu a new understanding of Wang Mang.
When he saw that Wang Mang had murderous intentions towards Chao Cuo, he had already responded as quickly as possible.
But what he didn't expect was that after he had "punished" Chao Cuo just now, Wang Mang actually wanted to kill him.
Dozens of guards wearing armor filed into the court.
Under the looks of the officials, who were either frightened or angry, the four soldiers pushed Chao Cuo to the ground without any explanation.
Some soldiers had already begun to take off Chao Cuo's official robes, but Chao Cuo was humiliated and still looked up at Wang Mang angrily.
Seeing that he was about to be executed by Wang Mang, Xiao He was trembling with anger.
He looked excited, his eyes were stern, and his veins had spread to his forehead, as if he would rush out and fight these soldiers at any time.
In an instant, Chao Cuo's official robe was torn off by the four soldiers.
When the two soldiers had already put up Chao Cuo's arms, and when Xiao He had already taken steps to fight for his life, a voice suddenly sounded in the court hall.
"How can the country continue if the king is like this?"
Li Mu took a step slowly, walked to Wang Mang's side and said, "Chao Zhang, that's what you said about me!"
After saying this to Chao Cuo, Li Mu turned to Wang Mang and said, "The general wanted to chop off Chao Cuo's head because of what Chao Cuo said about me!"
But after listening to Li Mu's question, Wang Mang stared at Chao Cuo and said coldly: "My ears can tolerate them slandering me behind my back, but I cannot tolerate them slandering your majesty like this."
"Of course I understand that the general loves me. But in my opinion, Chao Cuo was just blinded by lard and was too jealous of the relationship between the general and me."
Before Wang Mang could ask, Li Mu continued: "General, you might as well just treat him as a fart and let him go!"
"Your Majesty wants me to let him go?" But according to what Li Mu said, although Wang Mang was looking at Chao Cuo, his peripheral vision had already enveloped Li Mu.
As if he didn't notice Wang Mang's peripheral vision, Li Mu looked at Chao Cuo who was being held up and continued: "The general has already suffered too much infamy for me. I really can't bear the general's jealousy of you and me for such a person.
People, add some more criticism."
It’s a clear sign!
No one in the court was a fool. The last time Li Mu scolded Shang Yang in the court, some court officials saw that Li Mu was deliberately trying to save Shang Yang.
But this time, Li Mu seemed to be thinking about Wang Mang every moment, but the fact was that he was asking Wang Mang to let him go.
The ministers could understand the meaning of Li Mu's words, and of course Wang Mang could understand it as well.
Slowly looking away from Chao Cuo, Wang Mang suddenly turned to look at Li Mu.
To him, killing Chao Cuo was just a whim, and it didn't matter whether he killed or not.
What really piqued his interest was Li Mu's words to him just now.
What Liang Ji reported had already planted doubts in his mind.
Now that Li Mu clearly wanted him to release her, it made him even more suspicious of Li Mu's identity.
But seeing Wang Mang looking at him like this, how could Li Mu not understand what Wang Mang was thinking.
It's just that he understands, so what if he doesn't understand. Today, if he really lets Wang Mang kill Chao Cuo, he will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
It can be said that Chao Cuo had such a violent reaction because of him.
If he had not fawned over Wang Mang so much in front of the ministers, he would not have been as angry as Chao Cuo.
Therefore, even if he risks his identity being suspected or even exposed, Li Mu must save people.
Now that the words have been made clear, it depends on whether Wang Mang dares to insist on executing Chao Cuo regardless of his identity.
In the main hall, one is regarded as the emperor, and the other has the power to rule the country.
At this moment, although these two people have not had any verbal exchanges, it is known to everyone that these two people have begun to fight between heaven and man.
Time seems to have frozen at this moment.
In the court hall, pairs of eyes were alternating back and forth between Li Mu and Wang Mang. When things got to this point, even the indignant Chao Cuo had already figured out Li Mu's intentions, let alone Xiao He and others.
Xiao He didn't fully wake up until the moment when Li Mu openly asked Wang Mang to release him.
Showing weakness is not cowardice, and flattering is not fear.
It turns out that His Majesty openly showed his kindness to Wang Mang in the court three times, not because His Majesty was afraid of Wang Mang.
Understood!
It was only at this moment that Xiao He finally understood Li Mu's good intentions.
If you are not strong enough, you should try your best to try your best to follow up.
It was so quiet in the court hall that you could hear a pin drop.
Chao Cuo, who was fought by two soldiers, was filled with shame.
In shame, Chao Cuo didn't know where he got the strength to suddenly break free from the grip of the two soldiers.
His body regained its freedom. While recovering, Chao Cuo suddenly hit the nearest Optimus Pillar at Xiao He's exclamation.
"Stop him quickly."
But seeing that Chao Cuo was about to commit suicide, Li Mu only had time to let out a cry and hurriedly threw himself at Chao Cuo.
As he was rushing towards him, a figure suddenly passed over him.
Before Li Mu could see clearly who the figure was, the figure had already flown forward and knocked Chao Cuo to the ground.
"Oh! Mr. Chao, His Majesty didn't say he wanted your life. Where did you make the fuss?"
Under the attention of the officials, Pang Juan slowly climbed up from Chao Cuo.
After getting up, he did not forget to smile playfully at Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, does this count as a meritorious service?"
"Calculate!"
He stopped and looked at Pang Juan carefully.
To be honest, Li Mu at this moment has not yet recovered from the speed that Pang Juan showed just now.
The two soldiers had raised Chao Cuo up again.
The moment they set up, Pang Juan also took a step to block their path.
But seeing that the way forward was blocked, the two soldiers naturally looked towards Wang Mang.
Pang Juan, who blocked the two men's path, naturally looked at Li Mu.
The atmosphere in the court became solid again.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty once again focused their attention on Li Mu and Wang Mang.
