Stunning beauty

The imperial palace, Shou'an Hall.

Outside the hall, the sky was getting dark, and inside the hall, candles were lit.

Emperor Shang sat in front of the chess table with a gloomy expression and a serious expression.

The atmosphere is very depressing.

Jing Mu knelt on the ground, but he didn't dare to get up, the cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his body kept shaking.

On the side, Hai Qinggong looked at Emperor Shang in front of him, his expression changed a few times, but he didn't dare to speak easily.

On the other hand, Li Ziye stood quietly in the hall with a calm expression, without any disturbance.

Time passed little by little, and outside the palace, the sky was getting darker and darker. At this time, the palace gate had already been closed.

However, Emperor Shang ordered Xuanren to enter the palace, no matter what time of day he must come.

About half an hour later, outside the Shou'an Hall, King Yunyi walked quickly and entered the hall without any delay.

"See Your Majesty."

When King Yunyi entered the hall, he first took a look at the expressions of several people in the hall, and immediately saluted respectfully.

"stand up."

Emperor Shang said in a deep voice, "King Yunyi, do you know about Jing Mu?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I know more or less." King Yunyi replied.

"Tell me your opinion." Shang Huang said coldly.

King Yunyi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, what Jing Mu has done is suspected of abusing his power. However, this matter still needs to be verified before we can determine Jing Mu's guilt."

"How long?" Shang Huang said indifferently.

"Three days."

King Yunyi said solemnly, "Your Majesty gives me three days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"can."

Emperor Shang nodded and said, "I will give you three days to investigate carefully!"

"Yes!"

King Yunyi respectfully responded.

"His Majesty."

On the side, Hai Qinggong said with a sullen face, "The king of commoner forced his way into Jingmu's mansion in public and humiliated Jingmu. Should we just let this matter go?"

Upon hearing the words, Emperor Shang looked at the commoner king in front of him, and said, "Commoner king, do you have something to say?"

"Report to Your Majesty."

Li Ziye bowed his hands in respect, and said, "I am the Martial King of the Great Merchant. I was surrounded by people twice in Houtu Temple and Chengbei Street. If I choose to swallow my anger, what face will the Martial King of the Great Merchant have?"

"King Yunyi."

Shang Huang looked away and asked, "How do you think we should deal with it?"

"Report to Your Majesty."

King Yunyi thought for a while, and said, "Although King Commoner is at fault, there is a reason for the incident. As a Great Merchant and Martial King, he really cannot allow others to bully him and swallow his anger!"

"The commoner king."

In front of the chess table, Shang Huang opened his mouth and said calmly, "This matter has gone a little too far, and the salary will be fined for three months. It's not an exception!"

"Yes."

Li Ziye replied respectfully.

Beside Jing Mu, Hai Qinggong's face changed after hearing the words of the three singing together.

His Majesty and King Yunyi obviously wanted to favor the Commoner King!

"I'm tired, let's all go back."

The matter was temporarily closed, Shang Huang waved his hand and ordered.

"I'm waiting to retire."

The four saluted, and immediately retreated one after another.

In the hall, Emperor Shang looked at the backs of King Buyi and the others leaving. After a while, he withdrew his gaze, picked up a chess piece, and dropped it on the chessboard.

It is time to take the opportunity to clear up the persistent illness in the court.

outside the temple.

The four walked out one after another. Li Ziye and King Yunyi walked side by side at the front, talking and laughing happily, without being affected by what happened just now.

In the rear, Jing Mu followed beside Duke Hai Qing, with a look of panic still on his face.

In the palace, the sky was getting darker and darker, Mr. Haiqing walked faster and faster with a gloomy face, and soon passed the two people in front, and left with Jing Mu.

"You're so old, and you're still so angry."

Li Ziye looked at the back of Duke Haiqing in front of him, and said with a smile, "My lord, are you right?".biqugé

"What the commoner king said is true."

King Yunyi replied with a smile, the choice between king and duke is actually quite obvious.

One is the flourishing King Wu, and the other is the duke of Xishan at sunset. Any fool knows how to choose.

"My lord, is the crime of abuse of power serious?" Li Ziye asked as he walked.

"It can be heavy or light."

King Yunyi replied, "If it is light, you will be fined, but if it is serious, you will be dismissed from office, and you will be imprisoned (láng, dāng)."

"Prison? It turned out to be so serious."

Li Ziye said with emotion, "I have no grievances with Jing Mu, I really didn't expect this result."

When King Yunyi heard the words, he immediately understood what he meant, and said, "If it is true that Jingmu expelled the refugees for no reason and caused the refugees to rebel, Jingmu is unforgivably guilty. This is his own fault and has nothing to do with the King of Commoner."

"I don't know much about the law, so I can only leave it to King Yunyi."

Li Ziye said softly, and continued, "By the way, my lord, I want to ask you about someone. Is there a foreigner named Xu Hanlin under my lord?"

"Xu Hanlin?"

When King Yunyi heard the name, he thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a person, why did King Commoner suddenly mention this person?"

"This king and his father are old acquaintances."

Li Ziye said, "If possible, I hope King Yunyi will take care of him."

"I see, it's a small matter."

King Yunyi nodded and said, "Then Xu Hanlin's ability to do things is not bad, but he lacks opportunities. As long as he supports him a little, his future is bound to be limitless."

"Then thank you my lord!"

Li Ziye said with a grateful expression.

"The King of Cloth is too polite."

King Yunyi smiled and replied, for him, this is just a trivial matter, if he can easily sell the favor of the commoner king, why not do it.

While the two were talking, they left the palace together and bid farewell to each other.

"My lord."

Outside the palace, in front of the carriage, Yu Qingxuan and Nan'er were still waiting. When they saw the former walking out, they immediately stepped forward.

"Let's go, go home."

Li Ziye responded with a gentle expression, and immediately led the two into the carriage.

"Bad guy, that bad guy Jing Mu, what happened in the end?"

In the carriage, Nan'er sat aside and asked curiously.

"The lightest, dismissed from office."

Li Ziye replied, "I made the matter so big that it is impossible for His Majesty to turn it into a big deal. This matter has been handed over to King Yunyi. Just now, I put eye drops on King Yunyi. The position of Jing Mu , must be replaced."

"Does the prince want this position?" Yu Qingxuan asked after hesitating.

"Ah."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "The position of Jing Mu is not big or small. It is a position of real power. If it can be held in the hands of one's own people, it will be much more convenient in the future."

"To whom?"

Nan'er stared wide-eyed and asked.

"Xu Hanlin."

Li Ziye smiled softly, "That's the plan for the time being, whether it works or not, I'll tell you after I see him, it seems a bit troublesome for a sixth-rank Uiro to be directly promoted to a fourth-rank Jingmu."

When Yu Qingxuan heard the words, his expression was shocked, and his face revealed an expression of disbelief.

The sixth rank and the fourth rank are similar in rank, but Jingmu, the fourth rank, is not comparable to ordinary fourth rank officials.

From the verandah to Jingmu, it is definitely a one-step climb to the sky!
