Disobedience

"Today, some officials asked me to abolish the elders and replace the younger ones on the grounds of the prince's throat disease."

Mo Jinghe quickly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, in public, this is a major matter related to the country, and ministers cannot participate in politics; in private, this is the royal family's internal affairs, and it is even more inconvenient for ministers to participate."

Mu Dongchu didn't intend to ask him to get up, so he took a cushion and sat down beside him, as if he wanted to have a long talk with him.

"Sometimes I really feel quite lonely. Those people sounded like they were sincerely thinking about me, favoring the public and destroying private interests for the country, but they didn't have any small calculations in their hearts."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and few people can match him. He can distinguish between good and bad, not to mention that there are many ministers in the court who are dedicated to His Majesty. The kind you mentioned is only a small number."

Mu Dongchu took a fruit from the fruit plate, wiped it with a handkerchief, and handed it to Mo Jinghe.

Mo Jinghe didn't dare to answer.

"Anti-order?"

Mo Jinghe lowered his head even lower.

"Don't you ever know how to take advantage of the opportunity?"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Even if I can please the King's heart at the moment, when your Majesty's mood is no longer at this moment, I will feel flattered again."

"Hahaha. That's right, you want to be a virtuous minister, and I'm so uncertain in your heart?"

Mo Jinghe felt that Mu Dongchu was really a bad taste in this regard. The word "virtuous minister" came out of Mu Dongchu's mouth and entered the ears of others. It should be regarded as a supreme honor to everyone. Jinghe only found it ironic.

"I dare not."

"In the past few days when you were away, I have thought a lot. I think that after two years, I will compile a "Book of Worthy Officials" and then a "Book of Handsome Officials". Forget it, you can rank first."

Mo Jing and Xin Dao, at least they left a name in the annals of history, not bad, not a waste of time.But it was possible to say this before, but now it is absolutely impossible to say it.

Mu Dongchu's fruit was still placed in front of him, just waiting for him to reach out to pick it up.

Mo Jinghe sighed lightly, freeing up both hands to take it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron." But he didn't dare to eat it, just holding it like this.

But Mu Dongchu was also happy, took a sip for himself, wiped it with a handkerchief, and said, "Do you know why it is at the top of the list?"

Mo Jinghe answered very cooperatively: "I am stupid, I hope your majesty will express it clearly."

"Because what you do is too typical, enough to be a model for future generations of courtiers to look up to and follow. You are a courtier for the sake of being a courtier, and you can be regarded as the hardest one among the treacherous and flattering ones."

Mo Jing said softly, "Your Majesty, please cherish your reputation."

The person in charge of the Xiaohan Pavilion is a sycophant, and he is still at the top of the list in the "Sympire of Singers", so the emperor is so ignorant of people, and he is so incompetent, how stupid he must be.

Mu Dongchu took a bite of the fruit, let out a short exclamation similar to "um", raised his eyebrows and said: "Mo's Mansion is Mo's Mansion, this fruit is no worse than the one in the palace."

Mo Jinghe kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Mu Dongchu put down the fruit and said with a smile: "What kind of crime is this? Can't the folk fruit taste better than the palace one?"

Mo Jinghe bowed his head and remained silent. Could it be that the emperor took the wrong medicine today...

"I heard that you were very good at singing when you were a child. Sing a tune for me."

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I don't sing well. I'm afraid it will spoil His Majesty's ears."

"You don't want to sing, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor. I heard you sing it last time in a restaurant. The song 'Northern Mountain' is either drunk with joy, or fearful of blame; Or do nothing.' You are so cautious..."

Mo Jinghe lowered his head.

"That day, when the minister was drunk, he heard the phrase 'Under the world, is it the land of the king', so he sang along."

Mu Dongchu didn't seem to mind very much, "If you don't want to sing, then I'll sing it to you. Cough..."

He gestured and cleared his throat.

"Qingqing Zijin, care about my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't say anything? Qingqing Zipei, leisurely I think. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Pick up, come, stay in the city gate. I don't see you for a day , like March."

Mo Jinghe raised her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty sang really well, the Queen will be very happy to hear it."

"Are you tired from kneeling? Oh, then you've been kneeling all day, but nothing happened. You just like kneeling so much?"

Mu Dongchu made this trip on purpose today just to amuse himself?

"Serving me, you have a lot of experience. Why haven't I heard you say 'His Majesty's happiness is more important than anything else in my heart.' In this case, every time you are punished, you don't see you rushing to beg for mercy. Teach others a set routine, but you don't want to put in the effort to do it yourself?"

Only then did Mo Jinghe understand why Mu Dongchu was so angry today, Li Mu sold himself out.

"Your Majesty, there are so many people in your harem, and you don't need a single minister. Although the minister is not talented, he can't be of great use, but your majesty has an errand. The minister will definitely do his best to repay your majesty. I only hope that your majesty... let me go. "

"Hahaha."

Mu Dongchu smiled, he really wanted to let him go, but every time he thought about it, he would feel pain in his heart and couldn't bear it.

"I don't need you to be foolish and dedicate yourself. I just want you to help me with internal and external affairs. I still say that high-ranking officials, high salary, high power, and these things can be given to you as long as you want."

Mo Jinghe raised his body, clasped his hands on his lap, and still held the fruit in both hands. He didn't look at Mu Dongchu, he looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart. Looking from Mu Dongchu, he looked very honest and docile.

What is internal affairs?Why foreign affairs?High-ranking officials and generous salaries?High weight?What official rank in the court can participate in both internal affairs and foreign affairs?

"I know what you are thinking in your heart. I will give you what you want, and you just wait. But if you promise me, I will ask you for it one by one, and keep everything in my pocket."

Mo Jinghe felt tired, really tired, and even began to plan in his heart how to deal with his funeral after all the problems in front of him were resolved.

Seeing Mu Dongchu standing up, as if he was about to leave, he quickly bent down and sent him off respectfully.

Mu Dongchu took two steps, then turned back.

"On the way here, I met people from the Big and Small Cold Pavilion. When Mo Jingke died, what did you mean by the phrase 'I envy you'?"

When he asked this sentence, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

Lu Shuhua's people are really as dedicated to their duties as he is, and they report everything, even this insignificant sentence, to the heavens, to the ears of the gods.
