Sheng Shi Merciful Light

The mountain rain was about to come, and the son was worried about his father, who was outside, and asked Feng Qi: "Where is the father? Is it safe? Do you want to send more people?"

"No, the lord is still in the palace, so it's safe for now." After Feng Qi finished speaking, he explained the reason.

The scene in the court today was very lively. Fang Shanwu, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, handed over the new progress of the Taihe Building case——Chang Ke (a scholar of Chang University, who was temporarily dismissed of all merits because of his punishment for the crime) retracted his confession, saying only that the private party had nothing to do with it. The King of Chu has nothing to do with him, he was coerced and bitten.

Emperor Deguang was furious and ordered Chang Ke to be brought to court for interrogation.

Chang Ke said in front of all civil and military officials that his previous confession was coerced by his son, and he handed over the birth deed to the king of Chu and then bit him. If he didn't do so, he would punish his son for intentional murder and take his life.Chang Ke was afraid that he would also be silenced, so he pretended to give in.Moreover, because he himself was an official, he knew that the vassal king involved would go to Datian to hear it, and then he would have the opportunity to face the king to avenge the king of Chu.

Chang Ke not only retracted his confession, but also pointed out at the court that the person who coerced him was Zhao Zhen, the third-rank Honglu Temple minister.

This was a turn of events, Mu Ruosong was more anxious than Prince Xian, and only asked what he cared about the most: "Is King Chu cleared of suspicion?"

Xian Shizi said: "This is for sure," and poured another glass of water for Feng Qi, "And then?"

Feng Qi drank the water before saying under Mu Ruosong's anxious gaze: "Of course the king of Chu is not suspicious. Fang Shangshu is indeed a capable man who has been in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for many years. Now, it turns out that it was he who pulled Mr. Chang into the water and set up a private party, and behind the scenes was the Anshun County King, and this time it was the Anshun County King who instructed him to bite the Chu King."

Prince Xian also nodded: "No, the King of Anshun can't get away with it. Zhao Zhen is incompetent and greedy for money. If she hadn't given her daughter to the King of Anshun as a concubine, she wouldn't be able to be the Minister of Honghe Temple."

Since Honglu Temple was responsible for receiving foreign guests, after Zhao Zhen took charge, he would eat and receive cards, which made Da Xingchao's reputation in the eyes of foreigners much worse.It's very satisfying to fall off the horse now.

Feng Qi said: "There is more..."

"Say it!" The uncle and nephew said in unison.

Emperor Deguang was very angry, because the king of Anshun had entered the palace and tried to persuade him to bring down the king of Chu with the case of Taihe Tower, and he really had the motive to do so, so he ordered his servants to recruit the king of Anshun.Unexpectedly, the king of Anshun County ordered people to beat out his servants, saying that the emperor was deceived by villains, causing his flesh and blood to separate.He also said that he was afraid of being poisoned by a villain and making his elder brother guilty of murdering his younger brother. For this reason, he even assembled three thousand guards from the palace to guard the palace and not come out, but to protect himself.

Emperor Deguang was furious, and sent another battalion of imperial forest troops. The commander Yi Qing went to invite him with an imperial edict, but was also rejected. How about hitting the emperor directly in the face?

It is no different from treason!

Will Emperor Deguang kill his relatives righteously, and will he send more imperial guards?Will the King of Chu get involved and send Jin Yiwei or even the Sixth Army?After all, the king of Chu, as the commander of the six armies of the guards, has the responsibility to defend the capital, and it is his duty to suppress every clan that has objections.

What will happen next, no one knows.

Because Anshun County King made too much noise, Tianjing City once again fell into a tense atmosphere, but ordinary people did not panic.The king of Chu is famous for his benevolence and love for the common people. He will not harm innocent people, and he is not afraid of disasters from heaven.Only because Anshun County Prince's Mansion is not too far away from Ding Wang's Mansion, and it would be a disaster, King Ding let Prince Xian stay behind closed doors and strengthened the guards.

When things get serious, everyone will understand the truth - the case of Taihe Building is definitely caused by the king of Anshun County, and the thieves shouted to catch the thieves.I just don't know if it was because he set up a private party and caused troubles that he wanted to find someone to be blamed, or because he had been staring at Taihelou Chang's father and son early in the morning.

The situation in the imperial city was turbulent and it was not safe, so the son of Xian had even more reasons to keep Mu Ruosong.Mu Ruosong was also afraid that something might happen to the palace, so he had to send someone to Xishan Camp to ask for another day off.As for the safety of Chu Palace, he was not worried. Mu Ci did not go to court today, and Mou Yu was always by Mu Ci's side, so nothing would happen.

……

Chu palace.

Mu Ci was doing fitness exercises under the warm sun in the morning. The golden sunlight encrusted a circle of gold on his body, exuding a faint light. His white face was indifferent and peaceful, supernatural and refined, and there was thin sweat on his forehead. The beads are also shining like crystals... It's really a beautiful picture.

Mou Yu folded his arms and quietly admired it at the door for a while.After Mu Ci finished her work and adjusted her breathing, she came in to break the tranquility of the courtyard.He wiped Mu Ci's sweat, then touched his face: "You look good, you 'slept' well last night."

"I always make jokes." Mu Ci nudged him lightly, took the warm tea brought by Le Shu, and nodded to Le Shu, "Luckily you were smart yesterday, but you got hurt."

Le Shu smiled gently: "It's nothing, it's just...someone noticed it." But it's hard to say who it is, after all, this is Mu Ci and Mu Ruosong's private matter, and it's not his turn to intervene.

Mu Ci said tolerantly: "Ding Wang saw it, but it doesn't matter, it will happen sooner or later." He smiled softly, "I don't blame Zi Ren, the deeper the affection, the more unreasonable it is to be jealous Word."

Seeing Mu Ci's expression, Le Shu really had no qualms, and seemed to have everything under control.Xindao: Anyone who is loved by such a gentle, tolerant and capable person is extremely happy.

Mou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Ziren was called back early in the morning by the people of Prince Ding's mansion, aren't you worried? If Prince Ding wants to intervene, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Mu Ci smiled indifferently: "Do you know what happened to sister Chaoyang before?"

Mou Yu nodded, he was in charge of the Night Guard, Tianjing City and even the whole world didn't have many secrets from him.

What Mu Ci said was a matter of course: "He can't even control his daughter, Ziren is still a man, besides..." Mu Ci has always been so rational that he is almost ruthless, and said sharply, "He is more concerned about Ziren's reputation, and he will not mess with it .”

Mou Yu thought about it, it was true, and seeing Mu Ci's calmness and not being so nervous, he suddenly remembered how relaxed Mu Ruosong was when he came home today, so he asked, "Did you not talk to Ziren yesterday?" explain?"

"Say? Don't tell? Is there a difference in the result?" Mu Ci asked, opened the drawer, and took out the beads, but only rubbed them, not carved them.

After thinking about it, Mou Yu could only say, "There is no difference."

"Then why destroy Ziren's good mood? It's also good to make him happy a little longer." Mu Ci said, "And no matter whether you say it or not, Ziren's answer will not satisfy King Ding, let alone make any difference. .”

Mou Yu: "..." He was quite speechless, so he had to put this aside for the time being.

Mu Ci asked Mou Yu, "Did Zhao Zhen recruit?"

"As expected, the Chang University scholar retracted his confession, and we have evidence that Zhao Zhen recruited troops for the King of Anshun with the intention of rebelling against him. He couldn't help but not recruit." Mou Yu said.Even if Zhao Zhen is not smart, she can measure it clearly. If she recruits the most, she will be demoted and exiled. If she does not recruit, the charge of treason will have no chance.

"The Prince of Anshun refuses to submit, right?" Mu Ci said.

"Yes," Mou Yu said about the Anshun County King's gathering of troops to defend the mansion and make Emperor Deguang furious.

Mu Ci sneered: "The mantis is like a cart."

Mou Yu asked, "Do you want to dig him out?"

"Don't be so serious." Mu Ci said, "I didn't want to do anything to him, let someone guide him, and tell him to push all the crimes to Zhao Zhen. To treat subordinates like this will chill people's hearts, and it will not be far from betraying relatives. Pull out the hair The chicken can't flop...Our target this time is only Zhao Zhen."

"Well, I have asked people to spread the news, and those envoys from various countries who have suffered in Zhao Zhen's hands will come and step on them. Zhao Zhen will die if he doesn't die." Mou Yu said coldly again, "I want to lure foreign nationals into the country. Guan helped them to plot rebellion, it was like luring wolves into the house, seeking skins from tigers, it was really courageous and brainless."

Mu Ci also had a serious expression on his face: "Ask Feng Luo to lead the people to kill all those foreigners with wolf ambitions. It should be done like an accident. Don't disturb the people, just let the masters behind them understand."

Le Shu looked at Mu Ci a little surprised. In his impression, the king of Chu was very gentlemanly, bright and calm, and never liked to use secret assassination methods.

Mu Ci patted Le Shu on the shoulder: "I never consider myself a gentleman, and I only seek to be respectful and innocent in my actions. Besides, speaking of rules and kindness with the enemy... Do you think there is something wrong with my brain?"

Leshu: "..."

There was a chill in Mu Ci's eyes: "To deal with these ambitious enemies, we can only frighten them with iron blood, lest the thieves feel that they have an opportunity to provoke the flesh and blood of the Tian family."

It is also a great fortune that Le Shu was educated as a gentleman to convince others with benevolence, even the gentry in previous dynasties have always done so.So there are often cases where the gentry say they want to "conquer people with virtue" when they are clearly beaten to the door by the enemy. …

This not only caused the Chinese people to always lose money in wars, but there was a saying that "soldiers are also murderous weapons" and "military war".It also makes foreign enemies feel a little unscrupulous in invading the Central Plains because they don't have to bear the consequences of defeat-in any case, not only will they lose nothing, they may even gain something.

Until the late Emperor Tianshou was in power, 11 years ago, the four countries united and invaded with all their strength, almost breaking through the Central Plains, annoyed the emperor who made a fortune with military exploits, suppressed with iron blood, killed most of the enemies, and forced all countries to pay compensation for years At the same time, border trade was banned, and the enemy learned a lesson.

Now, after 11 years of self-cultivation, the foreign race has grown into a group of young adults again. Seeing that the gentle and honest Emperor Deguang is in power, and there is such an "internal trouble" as the King of Chu, it is unavoidable to be a little ready to move.

Therefore, this kind of enemy with great ambition and great harm must be punished severely.Mu Ci said: "This time, the big cannibals in red from the sea dare to interfere with my family affairs, and let them learn some lessons. Notify the three seaports, increase their customs duties by ten times, strengthen inspections, and send them away. All the weapons, minerals, and flints were confiscated. If you are not convinced, let Mei Saburo solve it. It just so happens that they also have old grievances, so we just pay per head."

Mou Yu nodded and said, "I've already contacted, but Mei Sanlang doesn't want money, he said that the naval warfare weapons of the man-eating man in red are very sophisticated, and he's just a businessman, so he might not be able to fight..."

merchant?

Mu Ci hooked her lips and smiled with interest.

Mou Yu also laughed: "He didn't know where he heard that you built a private military workshop and asked you to order some weapons suitable for naval warfare. He said that the weapons produced by you should be the best in the world."

Mu Ci is also straightforward: "This is also two benefits. After receiving the order, I will hand over the confiscated red-clothed man-eating weapons to Maoshi (He Qiujun) for research, and ask Mei Sanlang to send some people who are proficient in naval warfare. It just so happens that there is a Great Lakes, get some boats to test in actual combat."

Mou Yu nodded.

Mu Ci explained again: "Ask Bao Yuan if there is anyone who is proficient in financial management and is extremely stingy. I recommend it to the emperor, so that he will not be coaxed into being taken advantage of. When envoys from other countries come, don't reward too much gold and silver. We It’s not enough. It’s enough to just give some tea, porcelain and cloth, stamped with the imperial mark, and they will make a lot of money when they take it back to the country and sell it.”

There is no shortage of good things in the great fortune of Wuhua Tianbao, but the currency represented by gold, silver, and copper.Insufficient currency will limit social development.

Mou Yu smiled and nodded at Mu Ci, revealing a doting and admiring look.He is very convinced of Mu Ci's shrewd mind and long-term vision. Sometimes it is a trivial matter in the eyes of others, but Mu Ci can see the big from the small, and correct the slightest, so that it will not be wrong after a hundred years or a thousand years.

Mou Yu rubbed his head, is this the powerful ability after the development of mental power?

Although Le Shu on the side didn't quite understand some of Mu Ci's actions, he didn't ask, but kept it in his heart, and left it to verify one by one when there were results in the future.

……

Because the king of Chu did not contribute to the flames, Emperor Deguang thought that the king of Anshun was the younger brother of his own mother and compatriots, and also that Concubine Xie was dying in the palace, so she refused to eat.No matter how angry Emperor Deguang was, he could only suppress it. He couldn't really send troops to encircle and suppress his own brother, right?Really caught my brother, to kill or not to kill?

He didn't want to kill him in his heart, but it would be bad if things got serious and he had to kill him.When the time comes, he will be unable to get off the tiger, and everyone will look bad.

Therefore, after the King of Anshun said that he did not know and put all the crimes on Zhao Zhen, everyone looked at Emperor Deguang's face, and Wei Zhong, who represented the King of Chu, reluctantly accepted the "explanation" of King Anshun and called the King of Anshun The matter of entering the court to ask is nothing.

Zhao Zhen's fate was already doomed to be bad when he wanted to lure foreign nationals into the Central Plains, so I won't mention him anymore.
