Princess Fengyang didn't sleep well all night. She tossed and turned in the middle of the night and was awakened by nightmares three times. Princess Fengyang finally decided:
No more bird's sleep!
Tang Prince Consort put a shirt on her and advised her, "Don't worry, can anything happen if you have a group of people around you?"
"How can I not be worried! Xiaobao has never been out of the imperial capital. How could he know that it is dangerous outside? The child is so ignorant that he might have gone there secretly because it was fun." Princess Fengyang's motherly heart was impressed by her.
While feeling the pain and worry of his son's torture, he also felt bursts of anger. He said bitterly, "When that kid comes back, I will break his legs! He just ran away without telling his family! What should I do if something happens?"
!”
Then, the eldest princess Fengyang complained about Mu Anzhi again, and then her own emperor brother, who also became an unstable person in the mouth of the eldest princess Fengyang, "When little Baoer goes to ask for an official, he will give him
?Don’t look at the officials in the court who are all elderly adults. I have never seen anyone who is so spoiled by children. And the prince-in-law, you too, are your children who are always smiling all the time. They are not afraid of you. He is not afraid of you. What you say
He just can’t remember.”
The prince-in-law of the Tang Dynasty couldn't laugh or cry. He sat with the eldest princess Fengyang for half the night. He also missed his youngest son.
At this time, Tang Mo was sleeping soundly on the bed in the inn. Chen Jian pushed Tang Mo into the bed for the second time. When Tang Mo squeezed in for the third time, Chen Jian finally accepted that there was a small human-shaped stove next to him.
thing.
Chen Jian was even more leaked after hearing this, and it didn't take long for him to wake up Tang Mo. Tang Mo sat up and said alertly, "What's going on? Are you going to catch them?"
Chen Jian helplessly looked at his poop-covered eyes, "Get up and eat, and continue chasing after eating."
There was nothing as thrilling as Tang Mo imagined. After Tang Mo returned to the imperial capital, he was condemned to the palace by Empress Dowager Lan, who scolded him for running out and worrying the elders regardless of his own safety. Tang Mo said as he pinched the chestnut cake and ate it deliciously, "This is good."
There’s nothing to worry about, it’s not dangerous at all, it’s just a two-day journey. I’m an adult now, so don’t worry, grandma.”
"If there is danger, can you still pay it off?" Empress Dowager Lan threatened her grandson, "I heard your mother say that you would follow you out to catch criminals, which scared me. I didn't know it yesterday. If I knew, I would send someone out of the city to look for you.
"
"Don't do this, it'll be embarrassing. I'm not a girl, why should I ask my family to look for me when I leave the city?" Tang Mo finished eating a piece of chestnut cake and took another piece.
Princess Jiaxiang asked him unconvinced, "What's wrong, girl? You still look down on others."
"It's nothing, it's just that I am a manly man and I was born to go out and run around. You were born to embroider at home." Tang Mo said proudly.
Princess Jiaxiang hummed at him, and Tang Mo stood up and said, "Grandma, I will go to the Yamen as an errand. Now is a critical time, I have to go and be busy."
Queen Mother Lan saw that he was in high spirits, smiled and waved her hand, "Go, go, don't be tired, take care of yourself, don't go out of the city without saying anything and make your family worry."
"I know." Tang Mo responded, then walked out of the palace on his splayed legs and headed to the Ministry of Punishment.
Queen Mother Lan said, "Why does Xiaobao walk so weird?"
Princess Fengyang said with distress and relief, "It took me two days to ride a horse, and my thighs were bruised. I deserve it!"
Queen Mother Lan felt distressed again. She felt that her grandson had really suffered a great crime. She even talked to Emperor Mu Xuan when she had time. Emperor Mu Xuan was very happy and said, "I thought Xiaobao was just going to play for two days, but actually
Somewhat like."
"You don't know, but if you are serious, you can take the job seriously."
Emperor Mu Xuan felt that his nephew knew how to do things, and he was very pleased, "Let him practice for two years first, and when he is older, he can be given some important tasks."
In fact, since Lu Xing was taken back to the Criminal Department, the case has officially entered the closing stage. Even if Mu Anzhi wants to find out the person behind Lu Xing, Lu Xing will take all the blame upon himself as soon as he enters the Criminal Department.
Lu Xing said, "Zhu Chengsong's wife is my elder sister, Zhu Chengsong is my brother-in-law, the Zhu family has no heirs, and my brother-in-law intends to compete for the position of clan leader. I came up with the idea to steal the will, in order to alienate the eldest uncle and nephew.
It's all my doing, Huayue Tower is my secret business, man, who doesn't want to own a brothel."
Li Shangshu would come over from time to time to ask about the lawsuit, and was careful to avoid torture. Li Shangshu knew very well that Mu An had always been at odds with the Lu family. This case already involves the Lu family, so don't get involved.
Political struggle is good.
Mu Anzhi had also been persuaded twice by Hua Changshi in private, thinking that the case could be closed and nothing would be found if further investigations were carried out.
Mu Anzhi himself knew that the Zhu family's case would definitely not implicate the Duke's government, but he said, "The Zhu family case can be closed. Lu Xing Business has two sets of account books, and the crime of tax evasion will be filed separately!"
"The secret accounts of the brothel record that Lu Xing used the brothel to bribe courtiers, and a separate case was opened!"
Li Shangshu did not expect Mu Anzhi's sudden move. He thought to himself that the three highnesses who were defeated in the royal family's fight for the crown prince were by no means ordinary people.
Zhu Xing was brought to justice, and Zhu Chengsong benefited a lot. At least Zhu Chengsong's sentence of exile was changed from thirty years to twenty years, and the place of exile was changed from the island in the extreme south to northern Xinjiang to serve his sentence.
As for the other two cases, the Ministry of Punishment, the Imperial Palace, and the Yushitai were tried together.
Because Lu Xing is a branch of the Lu family, Duke Lu came to the king to apologize. Emperor Mu Xuan asked Duke Lu to stand up and speak. Emperor Mu Xuan said, "I know that you have always been very strict in running your family. There are many people in your clan, and it is inevitable that there will be some good and bad people occasionally. It's just that this kind of secret
The business of opening a brothel is too unpopular. Wouldn't it be criticized by Qingliu? I said, which serious person would do such a thing! When the Ministry of Punishment asked him, he actually said that no man would want to have a brothel! Listen, what nonsense is this?
!”
"I am so ashamed that I can't express it."
Lu Guogong's square face was red. He had just stood up and before his knees straightened up, he knelt down again and put his head on the ground.
Seeing him like this, Emperor Mu Xuan didn't blame him any more, "It's a good idea to clean up the clan so that nothing like this happens again."
"yes."
When he left the Zhaode Hall, Duke Lu was sweating coldly through his clothes.
The grand solemnity of the enthronement of the East Palace is still before our eyes, and Mu Anzhi, who lost power in the fight for the throne, returns to the public eye through a seemingly inconspicuous case involving merchants fighting for property.
Or, compared to the gentle and elegant impression Mu Anzhi gave people in the past, the moody and sharp-minded Third Highness is now more intimidating.
Before and after the morning court, Mu Anzhi still had only a few ministers around him, and he didn't care at all.
Even when many people thought that Mu Anzhi would expand the Lu Xing case, Mu Anzhi just tried the tax evasion and bribery of court officials and quickly closed the case without any delay, and he had no intention of expanding the case to Lu Guogong.
.
Emperor Mu Xuan thought that Mu Anzhi had made a lot of progress. These cases were very well done in terms of the completeness of the evidence and the final summary of the case, and the final sentencing was also very pertinent. Lu Xing was fined 500,000 taels of silver and 80 canes.
, served fifty years without pardon.
Emperor Mu Xuan was pleased, "I can rest assured that you will be in the Ministry of Punishment from now on."
Mu Anzhi bowed slightly, his expression indifferent.
"What are your plans next?"
Mu Anzhi, "If there is a case, investigate it; if there is no case, just rest."
Emperor Mu Xuan: It’s hard for him to comment on his sincerity.
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Don't just focus on investigating the case. Let you go to the Criminal Department. Learn more and see more. You must learn to take the overall situation."
Mu An's way, "How to take care of the overall situation? No way."
"Only if you don't know how can I let you learn, just learn and you will be good at it."
"Let's talk about it later, I won't understand even if I listen."
Emperor Mu Xuan was amused. He thought that Mu Anzhi was quite smart when he was studying, but now his investigation of the case was simple and smooth, but it was not possible when the entire criminal department was involved. This was not urgent, Mu Anzhi was still young.
The case could be concluded quickly this time, thanks to the efforts of everyone. Mu Anzhi was not a person who would treat his subordinates badly, so he went home and discussed with Li Yuhua, "It is already winter, and I think the supply from the Ministry of Punishment is not as good as ours. Zheng
The doctor's coats are all made of sheepskin. Do you still have the tickets that you gave to Du Changshi and others to go to Qianzhenfang to make robes? Give me a few. I'll go to the Ministry of Punishments and give them one, and I'll wear bright clothes.
, it is also the dignity of the Ministry of Punishment.”
"Where are they? How many do you want? Our family is a big owner of Qianzhenfang. It is cheaper for them to use these clothing coupons to tailor clothes than to go to Qianzhenfang themselves." As soon as October entered, the house became angry.
, Li Yuhua was wearing a small pomegranate red sweater skirt, which was quite eye-catching. As she said this, she asked Yunyan to get the box for the coat tickets, and opened it to show Mu Anzhi. There were several types of tickets inside, and the levels were also different.
.There are those who make clothes and hats, and there are those who make shoes.
Mu Anzhi took a few sets and planned to give them to his subordinates tomorrow.
While the couple was talking, Yunque came in to report that Xu Zhen was visiting.
"Why is your father here?"
Li Yuhua seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I figured it was time for him to come." She got up from the couch and said to Mu Anzhi, "I'll go take a look."
Mu An's advice is, "Put on some clothes before going out. It's cool outside."
Su Shuang brought a small fur cloak. Li Yuhua refused to let Su Shuang serve her, and only looked at Mu Anzhi with a pair of slender smiling faces. Mu Anzhi had no choice but to take the cloak from Su Shuang's hand and tied it for Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Anzhi.
Her slender fingers tied the cloak straps, and she felt happy in her heart.
Mu Anzhi asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"
"No, it won't take much effort."
Li Yuhua met Xu Zhen in the study room.
Xu Zhen still looked the same as before, wearing a purple official robe. It could be seen that he came directly after leaving the Yamen. When Li Yuhua came over, Xu Zhen was having tea in a leisurely manner.
"I've met your empress." Xu Zhen bowed respectfully to Li Yuhua.
"Father, please don't be too polite." Li Yuhua waved his hand, asked Xu Zhen to sit down, and winked at Yunyan, who then stepped back. There were only father and son in the room. Li Yuhua asked with concern, "Why did father come here suddenly?"
, but something happened?"
Looking at Li Yuhua's lively and friendly face, Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty refused to go back to the Xu Mansion, so I came over."
"What are you doing here?" The smile in Li Yuhua's eyes was like the fog gradually rising in the evening, gradually revealing its chill.
"Let me ask the empress, if..." Xu Zhen suddenly stopped talking and shook his head helplessly, "Look at me, if I were the empress, I would have no grudges against the Xu family."
"You are wrong. It's not that there is no grudge but no grudge. It's that there is no grudge and no grudge." Li Yuhua looked sarcastic and calm with some pleasure, "If I don't have a good life in the countryside, you will take me to the imperial capital to see your family.
You are a high-ranking official, and you can really hate it with blood dripping from your eyes. You are very lucky. I was living a very good life in the countryside at that time. I had broadened my horizons at that time and would not take the Xu family's wealth in my eyes. What's more, I am now
Why do I blame you for having such a good home? Why do I blame you for thinking of me after having such a good marriage? Or do I blame you for not raising me? With Lu’s little nose and eyes, I really would rather be in the countryside
When I grew up, if I had followed you, how could I be where I am today?"
It is absolutely impossible to say that there are no regrets. It is a great loss for any parent to have an outstanding child who is indifferent to him. However, Xu Zhen remained calm, "It is my blessing that the queen thinks so."
A gleam flashed in Li Yuhua's eyes, "After all, we are blood relatives. Just like the marriage of the prince and concubine, my father thought, I will never forget my father even if I have good things."
"Your Majesty, you might as well tell me."
"Now I don't ask my father to make a decision. Let me talk about the current situation. My father also knows that the Lu family is powerful, and His Highness and the Lu family are incompatible with each other. My father is naturally close to the Lu family now. I will marry the chicken and follow the chicken.
If you give it to His Highness, you will advance and retreat with him. Father, the dispute between Your Highness and the Lu family will never end with the establishment of the East Palace. One day in the future, when the Lu family falls, I hope that my father will make a new choice. I will give you such an opportunity,
As long as you catch it, you can share my glory."
"This is the promise I made to my father."
It was the first time that Xu Zhen saw someone using such a benevolent tone to ask him to make nails. The translation of Li Yuhua's words was, when the prince is killed by my highness, I hope you can take sides rationally.
To translate it further, if you work with the Lu family, you will have the most powerful ministers in the future. In the future, when His Highness and I come to power, you will be the current Lu family.
