Early the next morning, when Xiao Mobai appeared in the court hall, the civil and military officials were very surprised. They were stunned for a moment before someone knelt down and said, "See the Emperor."

Only after someone made the move did the other officials react and kneel down to Xiao Mobai one after another.

The previous Emperor was very kind to them when he was in court, but now they are still afraid of the Emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

The ministers had not seen Xiao Mobai for a long time, but they did not dare to forget Xiao Mobai's temperament. Therefore, when Xiao Mobai appeared, everyone became cautious and no one dared to act rashly.

"I have not been in the capital for many days, but I am very aware of your every move."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are really well-informed and perceptive."

As soon as Xiao Mobai finished speaking, some officials were busy trying to flatter him, but Xiao Mobai stopped him in time.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am not saying this to flatter you. I still want to go back to accompany my wife. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. If you have nothing to do, don't waste time here."

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The Minister of War took a step forward and said to Xiao Mobai.

Xiao Mobai glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of War with his cold eyes, and remembered that the little bastard who didn't have eyes yesterday seemed to be the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although he was a little impressed, Xiao Mobai decided to listen to what he had to say first and then settle the score with him later.

"You said."

"Your Majesty, I want to sue Mr. Wan of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. As a parent official in the capital, I have done nothing and ignored human life."

"What do you mean by that?"

You know, although Xiao Mobai has a bad temper, he still cares about the people's affairs. Therefore, he cannot tolerate the inaction of the officials in office.

Now that he heard what the Minister of War said, Xiao Mobai instantly put his personal grudges aside and decided to listen to what the Minister of War had to say.

"Back to Your Majesty, my son disappeared yesterday. I didn't dare to rely on my status to let anyone help me, so I went to Jingzhao Yamen to report the disappearance in person. However, from yesterday afternoon to today, Yin Wanchang of Jingzhao Mansion has not given me an explanation. , isn’t this lazy government?”

There has always been something wrong between the Minister of the Ministry of War and Mr. Wan of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, because the Jingzhao Mansion Yin is a very upright official. When selecting this parent officer in Jingzhong, Xiao Mobai considered many factors. He suggested that his father should make him the governor of Jingzhao.

Now Xiao Mobai heard what the Minister of the Ministry of War said, and saw his son's domineering appearance yesterday. Xiao Mobai was convinced that the Minister of the Ministry of War was avenging his private revenge.

"According to your statement, your son has only been missing for less than half a day. Isn't it normal for the governor of Jingzhao to not be able to find him? For this reason, you accuse him of being lazy in government?"

Because the reason had been determined in his heart, Xiao Mobai's attitude became even worse.

"Back to Your Majesty, including last night, it has been a whole day. What's more, he has not made any move to find the waiter at all. Doesn't this explain it?"

The Minister of War knew what Xiao Mobai hated, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to trample the Jingzhao governor to death in front of the emperor. On the other hand, he was indeed worried about his son, after all, he had been missing for so long.

Now he has sent everyone in the house to look for him, but there is not even a trace. Now that he is talking here, he also wants to win the opportunity for His Majesty to help him find someone. After all, he is also an official of the imperial court.

"Well, if Master Shangshu says so, I know where your son is."

"What? Your Majesty knows? Where is the child?"

"It's being locked up in the palace."

"what?"

Xiao Mobai's answer really surprised the Minister of War. He never expected that His Majesty would give him such an answer.

"No, I wonder what mistake Xiao Er made? How could he have a chance to enter the palace?"

Asking this question, the Minister of War summoned up all his courage, but he really couldn't figure out why his son was locked up in the palace by His Majesty.

"He didn't enter the palace. Yesterday, my wife and I met outside the palace. Because your son wanted to steal a pig's trotters from the Queen's Tianxiang Tower, he led someone to break into our private room and wanted to be tough. Take things away.

If it were an ordinary person yesterday, your son would have taken that pig's trotters away directly. "

"This... this... Your Majesty, the child really likes to eat, and he likes to eat delicious food even more. Yesterday, he must have been attracted by pig's trotters, so he acted impulsively. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The Minister of War could not say anything about the situation Xiao Mobai told. Facing His Majesty, he still dared to snatch things. It was already very good that His Majesty did not execute him.

But even if he knew this situation, the Minister of War still had to bite the bullet and plead for his son, who should be his own son.

"The Minister of the Ministry of War is really a good teacher. You dare to let him use your name to run rampant in the capital. Yesterday, I and your empress bumped into him. I couldn't see where he was. I still don't know how he oppressed the people. Woolen cloth.

Today, when I saw you being aggressive and aggressive towards the governor of Jingzhao in this court hall, I realized that it was because the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. "

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I usually don't know how to teach my son, so I ask Your Majesty to spare his life. When I go back, I will discipline him strictly and ensure that this situation will not happen again."

At this time, no matter what Xiao Mobai said, the Minister of War had no choice but to admit his mistake. Moreover, his little thoughts just now were seen by His Majesty. Now he can only tuck his tail between his legs and dare not say anything more.

"Well, Lord Shangshu's attitude of admitting his mistake is good, but since the matter of threatening me on the street should also fall within the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, I still have to hand over your son to Lord Wan. Otherwise, in the future, If someone says that he is lazy in politics again in front of me, I really want to hold him accountable."

Xiao Mobai's words made it clear that he was leaning toward Master Wan and handed over the son of the Minister of War to him and let him deal with it on his own. Whether he ends the case normally or takes the opportunity to take revenge, it is up to him to decide.

"Yes, yes, His Majesty said so."

Even if he knew Xiao Mobai's intentions, the Minister of War did not dare to have any opinions and could only wait and deal with it.

During the whole process, the governor of Jingzhao did not say a word. He was not good at speaking, but it was only because of his majesty's respect that he got his current official position. The only way he can repay His Majesty is to take good care of the people in the capital, so that he can live up to His Majesty's expectations.

"Okay, if nothing happens, please retreat."
