In the Ziwei Hall, Li Mu hid behind the pillars, wishing to tear Zhou Zhong's mouth apart.
He Yuanyang is still there, not only does he not feel embarrassed, he is even a little proud.
If Yuanyang hadn't been there, would this case have been explained so quickly?
But pride is pride, and pride and having this matter known to the whole world are two different things.
Damn Zhou Zhong, he is also an old bachelor for decades, what qualifications do he have to speak of himself?
After Zhang Chun made such a fuss, the order in the court became somewhat chaotic.
Many people know that Li Mu entered the Criminal Prison Prison yesterday and later came out of it, but they only know the result and not the process.
Others are speculating whether His Majesty secretly gave instructions to the Ministry of Justice. If so, whether Li Mu has fallen out of favor will have to be re-judged.
But having said that, this case is really incredible.
No matter how many people hate Li Mu, they have to admit that he is as good-looking as Cui Ming and is one of the most beautiful men in the world. If he is willing, countless women will fall on him and do it several times every night.
The groom, but the fact is that such a person is just a young child.
Even the person who framed him must not have thought of this, otherwise he would never frame Li Mu for rape.
Today's morning court ended quickly. Surprisingly, His Majesty didn't say a word about Li Mu being framed.
This confirms a guess.
That person really fell out of favor.
After going to court, Li Mu went to Changle Palace to ask for an audience with the queen, but was still rejected and left the palace alone.
All this was seen by a palace maid at the gate of Changle Palace.
The government offices located within the palace, such as officials from the three provinces under Zhongshu's sect, also saw Li Mu's lonely figure leaving the palace.
This news spread at extremely fast speeds to all the mansions in the North and South Gardens.
Zhu family.
Zhu Qi was lying on the bed. He had been restricted from cultivating in the morning and had been given ten sticks. He had just taken the healing elixir. After hearing this, he sat up from the bed and gritted his teeth and said: "Li Mu, please wait for me."
Stay!"
Then, there was a scream in the room and the sound of heavy objects falling on the bed.
Wu Mansion.
The old Prime Minister of Taichang Temple, although he had magical powers, was limited when he used the stick, so he was hit with ten sticks with an old bone. At this moment, he was lying on the bed and asked: "What did you say?
it is true?"
A middle-aged man said: "It is absolutely true that he was framed and the Queen did not say anything. This time, he must have really fallen out of favor..."
The Prime Minister of Taichang Temple said gloomily: "When I get better in two days, that will be the day when Li Mu dies!"
Wei Mansion.
Wei Teng limped around in the yard. He took the elixir and used the talisman. His injuries were much better. Hearing what happened after the end of the court, he felt extremely happy.
This will be the last time he suffers a loss in the hands of Li Mu. As long as His Majesty no longer protects him, with the power of the old party, Li Mu will be allowed to be manipulated by them.
In the house of the Minister of Rites.
A woman said bitterly: "Last time I didn't succeed, this time I want her to die with no body intact!"
The news that Li Mu had fallen out of favor caused quite a stir among officials and dignitaries. In front of the Li Mansion, Zhang Chun knocked on the door with a worried look on his face.
This time, he was really panicked.
Li Mu was framed, but His Majesty was indifferent. After the dynasty was dismissed, he went to seek an audience with His Majesty, but was rejected. The matter was much more serious than he imagined.
He no longer wants to live in the big house in Wujin, and he doesn't want to have maids and servants swarming around him anymore. As a friend, he must remind Li Mu to leave the capital of the gods as soon as possible, get further and further away from here, and never come back again.
And he himself has to consider resigning.
Zhang Chun knocked on the courtyard door. As soon as the courtyard door opened, he smelled a fragrance.
It was the aroma of hot pot that he was familiar with.
Li Mu stood at the door and asked: "Old Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Chun was about to speak when he suddenly saw a figure beside the stove in the yard. It was a beautiful woman who was putting a piece of tofu in the pot into a bowl.
The moment he saw the woman's face clearly, Zhang Chun's head buzzed.
There was a lot of news about Li Mu falling out of favor. Who would have thought that the Queen rejected Li Mu's request for an audience, but half an hour later, she had hot pot with him at Li's house?
I'm afraid no one would dare to believe this matter.
After reacting, he immediately looked at Li Mu and said, "It's okay, I just came to tell you that we can have a meal together when we have time..."
Li Mudao: "We are eating, do you want to come in and have something together?"
Zhang Chun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Not today, let's try another day. My wife is still waiting for me at home. Say goodbye..."
He simply turned around and left, but did not return home. Instead, he came to a dental shop in Shendu and said to a dentist: "Check for me, what other vacant yards are there in Shendu?
We will not consider them, as long as they are ranked five or above..."
Ministry of Punishment.
After the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment reported some internal affairs to Zhou Zhong, he couldn't help but asked: "Sir, has Mr. Li really fallen out of favor?"
Zhou Zhong said calmly: "I'm afraid only Your Majesty knows about this matter."
The doctor from the Criminal Department shook his head and said, "What a pity..."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake. He looked up and found that the Vice Minister didn't seem to hear him, so he was relieved.
Zhou Zhong stood up and walked out of the Criminal Department. The doctor of the Criminal Department hurriedly chased him out and asked: "Where are you going, sir? I still have some things that I have not reported..."
Zhou Zhong waved his hand back and said, "Let's talk tomorrow. I made an appointment with my friend today to go fishing outside the city..."
Ministry of Rites.
An official walked into a government office and said to one of the people in the government office: "Mr. Liu, tomorrow the Vice Minister is going to impeach Li Mu. Should we also follow suit?"
The man raised his eyes and looked at him and asked: "Why are we joining in the fun of the impeachment of the Vice Minister?"
The official said: "Your Majesty, the Minister has this intention. You have just come to the Ministry of Rites, so you must not fawn over the Minister. Anyway, Li Mu has fallen out of favor. If you impeach him, you are not afraid of His Majesty's blame. Maybe Your Majesty is waiting for someone to impeach him..."
The man waved his hand and said: "If you want to go, you can go, I won't go..."
The foreign minister, a member of the Ministry of Rites, left helplessly. There was originally only one doctor in the Ministry of Rites. Later, for the imperial examination, the court added another doctor. However, the new doctor Liu seemed to not understand the officialdom. Zhu Langzhong was biased towards the old party.
Yes, but on weekdays, he doesn't dare to be too disobedient to the Minister of Etiquette. Not long after he came to the Ministry of Etiquette, he didn't listen to the Minister of Etiquette, and he will not have a good life in the future.
After the Minister of Rites, Wai Lang, left, Lang Zhong curled his lips and said: "Impeachment is nothing, a bunch of stupid fish..."
Prince Shou's Mansion.
King Shou liked to listen to operas. In addition to a stage, the mansion also had more than one opera troupe.
Today, he seemed to be particularly interested. After listening to several times, he waved his hands to the actors on the stage and said: "I will not listen to Cui Prince Consort today. I will sing a song about Taizu Fishing for me..."
Zhou family.
While the Zhou Mansion was having a meal, Zhou Xiong took a few bites, put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhou Jing at the top, and said: "Brother, this time, Li Mu is in doom. Should we ask the fourth brother to come out? If he sees this
This scene should make you very happy..."
"Doomed?" Zhou Jing glanced at him and asked, "How come he is doomed?"
Zhou Xiong said: "Li Mu has lost his favor. As far as I know, this time, whether it is our people or the people of the old party, they want to completely deal with Li Mu. The fourth brother hates him to the core, so he must see it with his own eyes."
have a look."
Zhou Jing put down his chopsticks and said: "Use your mind and think about it. With Wu'er's temperament, even if she is not a close official of hers, what will happen to her if any official in the court is slandered and framed in such a despicable way?"
If we don’t do anything, will the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple be asked to investigate?”
Zhou Xiong was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "This..."
Zhou Jing said: "My own daughter, how could I not understand her? If she wasn't really angry, she wouldn't do this. I'm afraid the next morning meeting will be very lively..."
Zhou Xiong's expression changed and he said: "What can we do? The frame-up of Li Mu was obviously done by her brother-in-law and her sister-in-law. The Minister of Rites is in danger. We must remind him that the imperial examination is about to take place and nothing will happen to him..."
"late."
Zhou Jing said: "Last time about Chu'er, the Zhou family didn't follow her wishes. Now she hates you and me to the core. She won't even go back to the Zhou family and won't listen to what you said. If she framed Li Mu last time,
If you succeed, it will be a failure. Once you fail, the Minister of Rites will not be able to keep it. You remind me now that it is already too late..."
Zhou Xiong froze on the spot and murmured: "Is this another Li Mu's conspiracy?"
Zhou Jing did not deny it and said: "I'm afraid that even the last time he fell out of favor was fake news that he and Wu'er probably released."
Zhou Xiong said with a stern face: "Your Majesty was so innocent and simple before, but now he has become like this. She can't think of this method. Then Li Mu is as cunning as a fox. He must have taught your Majesty..."
He thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to remind others?"
"No need." Zhou Jing shook his head and said: "If you can't even see such a simple fishing trick, it will be of no use to them. Give up your position as soon as possible and let a capable person take over..."
Li Mansion.
Li Mu put the fish and tofu that the Queen liked to eat into the pot and asked with concern: "How is your Majesty's inner demon?"
Zhou Wu took a piece of tofu, put it to her lips, blew it gently, took a small bite, and then said: "Thanks to the formula you taught me, I'm feeling much better."
She didn't know why, but after the inner demon first appeared, when she saw Li Mu, the inner demon couldn't help but throb.
But after the morning meeting, even if I didn't use the formula to suppress it, my inner demon didn't appear again.
Maybe it was the Li Mu she imagined who had gone through many battles that left such a shadow in her heart, but in fact, he was as inexperienced as she was. After realizing this fact, she felt better.
too much.
Li Mu felt relieved after hearing this and put a piece of tofu in his bowl.
According to the Queen's wishes, at today's morning meeting, she would expose the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, abolish his cultivation, dismiss him from office and exile him, but she was stopped by Li Mu.
Li Mu knew very well that the people in the court who wanted his life were not just the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and Zhou Chu's mother behind him.
This time, it's better to go with the flow and give them a collective surprise.
So he proposed to join forces with the Queen, pretend that he had fallen out of favor, send a wrong signal to those who were ready to take action, and finally use the case of the Minister of Rites to catch them all.
After what happened this time, I believe the remaining people will be much more honest.
The Queen agreed to Li Mu's plan without even thinking about it.
The two of them have already performed the scene they should act, and the bait they should put out has been put out. Now they are just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
…
Ziwei Palace.
Today's morning dynasty was held as scheduled, and even after the last morning dynasty, many people in the court were looking forward to today.
As soon as the morning court began, another official stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have this report!"
Wailang, a member of the Household Department, held up a letter in his hand and said: "I want to impeach Li Mu, the arresting leader of the Shendu Yamen. During the patrol, he often lingered in the music shop and neglected his duties..."
After he finished speaking, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites also stood up and said: "I also want to impeach Li Mu for accepting bribes from the people while in office..."
The Prime Minister of Taichang Temple then walked out and said: "I am impeaching Li Mu. As a censor in the palace, he took advantage of his position to attack dissidents and abused his power when he was inspecting the court ceremonies of all officials..."
"I also want to impeach Li Mu..."
"I impeach Li Mu..."
"minister……"
…
After the Minister of Household Affairs, the Minister of Rites, and the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple came forward, several courtiers from the central court came forward one after another. The target of impeachment was also Li Mu.
There is no doubt that this is a premeditated impeachment.
These officials had already discussed it before going to court.
Among these people, there are old party officials and new party officials, among whom officials from the Ministry of Rites account for the largest number.
However, after these people stood up, they looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
According to their guess, there were countless people in the court who were looking forward to Li Mu's death, but at this moment, there were less than ten people who came forward. This was a huge difference from the number they expected.
What are the other people in the court waiting for?
Although the Minister of Rites is also confused about this matter, no one has come forward to impeach him. According to the process, it is time for him to make his final appearance.
He walked out with the wat board in his arms and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial censor was originally a pure person in the court. Li Mu, the imperial censor in the palace, has many controversial behaviors and is no longer suitable to be the censor..."
He did not impeach Li Mu, but took advantage of the situation and made a request that sounded extremely reasonable.
The censor is an incorruptible official. So many officials impeaching Li Mu shows that he is no longer suitable to be the censor. What's more, the names they used to impeach him are not groundless.
In the past three days, he had put a lot of effort into impeaching Li Mu.
If Li Mu is not the censor, he is just a small catcher in Shendu Yamen.
They can transfer a small policeman away from the capital of God for any reason.
At that time, it will be up to them to decide how Li Mu dies.
After the Minister of Rites finished speaking, the court hall was very quiet. The important ministers in front neither agreed nor objected. Most of the other officials were also quiet.
At this moment, the Queen's voice came from behind the curtain above.
"You want to impeach Li Aiqing?"
The Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will ask for..."
Li Aiqing!
At this moment, nearly ten officials behind him, including the Minister of Rites, were stunned on the spot.
Li Aiqing?
Hasn't Li Mu fallen out of favor? How come His Majesty still calls him so affectionately?
They dared to impeach Li Mu because Li Mu fell out of favor. If Li Mu had not fallen out of favor, then...
Several people looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly sank into the bottomless abyss.
