Disobedience

Lu Shuhua said: "The surname of the man who had an affair with his mother was Mo."

Mu Dongchu smiled and said, "Do you dare to participate in politics?"

He has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he didn't need to make a loud voice when he said this sentence. He only had a slight accent on the word "participating in politics", and Lu Shuhua was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

"I dare not!"

Mo Jinghe quickly helped him up.

"The place outside is no better than home, don't get your robe dirty."

Lu Shuhua also consciously lost his composure and bowed to the side.

He hated the Mo family, and Mo Jinghe had a clear heart. At that time, people from the Mo family robbed his sister-in-law in front of his brother, and his brother beat him up. His brother suffered a lot in prison for this. For his own status, the family has suppressed the Zhao family, Lu family, Yin family, and even the Liu family. It is rare for him to truthfully report the Mo family's information to the emperor for so many years without adding fuel and vinegar to discredit the Mo family.

"Tell me what you think?"

Lu Shuhua said: "It is common for the Mo family to do evil. This is not the fault of the Mo family, but the fault of the gentry. Your Majesty, Mr. Mo once said that he would use the strength of the Mo family to weaken the Yin family, Zhao family, The forces of the Lu family and the Liu family finally divided the Mo family, and he wants to reform in Mu Dongguo, please listen to his thoughts."

Mo Jinghe thought about when he said this, why he didn't remember it, and then thought, he never said this from the beginning to the end, it was the old man who said it, he just didn't deny it.

When did Lu Shuhua become so concerned about the country and the people? Xiaohange's participation in politics is a capital offense. He even risked his beheading to mention this to Mu Dongchu?

Mu Dongchu said "Oh" and said nothing else.

Mo Jinghe suddenly understood that Mu Dongchu also wanted to reform, and according to his expression today, it must have been planned for many years, reform?Help the prince?He is paving the way for the prince?He wants the prince to reform?

Mu Dongchu had already gone for a while and turned around.

"What else are you doing there?"

Mo Jinghe raised his head, and Mu Dongchu was smiling at him, as if they met for the first time in front of the empress dowager's palace, they were clean and handsome, and it had been more than ten years in a flash.

He had a very bold idea, and Mu Dongchu agreed to him. He said that what he wanted, Mu Dongchu would give him. Now Mu Dongchu is supporting the crown prince. Isn't he sick?He wants to abdicate?

Indeed, the time is still immature, and the radical reforms will rebound too much, which may shake the foundation of the country. He wants to take it step by step, first weakening the possible rebound force to the minimum, and he wants to leave a court suitable for the reforms to the prince.

Then why didn't he do it himself?He is more suitable than the prince...

It's not his style to prevaricate like this.

Mu Dongchu took two steps back.

He said again: "You owe the money to the gambling house and still don't pay it, so you dare not go? Or is it because of the life experience of the young man just now, and you want to appeal for him?"

Mo Jinghe bowed and said: "Your Majesty is merciful. His servant's parents died early. Although the Empress Dowager took care of him and Your Majesty's kindness looked after him, he often felt lonely and helpless. Not only did he lose his father, but his mother wanted to harm him and take his life. How lonely and miserable is he? He should know that if his mother finds out that he will not escape death when he comes back, but he will go back thousands of miles with his body on his back. It seems that he is extremely resentful and has some obsessions in his heart. reason."

Mu Dongchu felt that Mo Jinghe was really strange. He came out of a place like Xiaohanzhuang, and managed Xiaohan Pavilion for so many years, yet he still had such a soft heart.

"How can I help him? So selfish, do you want to kill your mother, or let his mother's affair be revealed to the world, embarrassing his Li family? If he is filial, he should find a place to hide and end the rest of his life. Or simply commit suicide, what's the point of living like this?"

Mo Jinghe knew in his heart that what he said was right, "Life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and you can sacrifice your life for righteousness." Wu Chengru taught him this way, but This is a request for a scholar, but not for him. It is only a half-old child, and you want him to die?

"There must always be someone to uphold the avenues of the world. Those who steal and rape can live happily, but those who are victimized must commit suicide. What is the reason for this?"

After Mo Jinghe said this, she also felt that she was getting more and more lifted, and lowered her head.

"The servant is rude, please punish me, my lord."

Mu Dongchu was not angry, on the contrary, he thought it was funny, these two people usually have one dog leg and the other docile, but it's rare that they have become like this after going to the palace?

"Lu Shuhua's salary will be fined for three months. You, this person will be handed over to you. If you handle it well, you may be exempted from punishment. If it is not good, you must be held accountable."

Lu Shuhua first thought, let’s just stop this matter. Looking at the situation just now, the emperor didn’t intend to punish him. He couldn’t imagine being slapped like this by a fool, but he was dragged down for nothing... Then he thought, this matter is not easy to deal with , Mo Jing and his family were involved again, and it was cheaper to pay a three-month salary than to deal with this matter. This matter was revealed by himself, but Mo Jing and he had to clean it up. After all, he was the one who caused him trouble.The two of them have taken care of each other and constrained each other all these years, in fact, it has long been unclear which one owes the other more.

"Linzhi, let's go."

Linzhi is Mo Jinghe's surname, he is not yet twenty, because he married Yang Lingyu, the weak crown ceremony was held early, and people usually call him "Mr. Mo" and "Master Mo", but it is rare to call him directly. Therefore, he was still a little unfamiliar with this word, and stared blankly at Mu Dongchu for a while, only to realize that Mu Dongchu was calling him.

He quickly took two steps and followed.

Mu Dongchu looked at him sideways, and said, "Why are you always distracted recently, is something on your mind?"

"Ah? Well, the young master has entrusted his heirs with noble bodies, and the servant is anxious day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest, for fear of disappointing the high trust of the young master."

What business did he do in the prince's mansion, before the injection was given or the medicine was prescribed, he kept holding back how to annoy the prince, and he was "anxious day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest." Even so, he still had leisure to go shopping today. ?

"How is my kid's illness?"

"My son respects you for longevity and well-being. Hey, he has a heart disease. That year, I heard Mr. Taizong say that in order to eliminate the misfortune of his relatives, he set up a prince and killed his mother. I was so scared that I was dumbfounded. I don't know if you can tell me the truth." The decree is to protect his mother to enjoy peace and dignity forever, and the son will be cured of this disease."

Mu Dongchu stopped in his tracks.

"How long are you going to coax him to play like this?"

Mo Jinghe lowered his head and thought about this question carefully.

"My lord, his illness was caused by scaring him. If he scares him again, he will be fine. Why don't you give it a try someday when the crown prince is free? Or if you let go of his position, he will feel at ease and he will be fine."
