Chapter 443 Greeting the wounded, King Chu was angry

Mu Ci never sits and waits to die, let alone this time to protect her own lord.

Two-pronged approach, on the one hand, Mu Ci sent people to guard the sky prison, and went to the sky prison for three meals a day to accompany Mei Rong to eat, otherwise he would not eat.

The presiding judges on Mei Rong's case were Yang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, Gu Yongji, Minister of the Ministry of Power and Officials, and Huainan King, who was soy sauce all the time.It was Mu You, the former king of Huainan County and the seventh prince.

Yang Ye suffered a loss in Mu Ci's hands, so he didn't mention it if he learned well.Gu Yongji was only transferred back to Beijing this spring. He was not very familiar with the King of Chu, but he did not dare to neglect him at all.As for Mu You, on the day he was arrested by Emperor Deguang, he went directly to Mu Ci, hugged his younger brother's thigh and cried - I was driven to the shelves, I dare not touch your people!

In this state, who would dare to "trial" Mei Rong?The censor caught the king of Chu using his status and authority to enter and leave the prison at will, affecting the trial, impeached him frantically, and published the "Yan Bao" to condemn the king of Chu.

It is said that the impeachment of the officials was neither painful nor itchy for Mu Ci, even Emperor Deguang, how could he be willing to really starve his ninth younger brother, so he had to turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

In fact, Mu Ci didn't interfere with official duties, and asked Mei Rong to say what she wanted, and to provide any information and files she wanted.It's just that most of the evidence is work records and ledgers, which are left in Chu, and the court has to send someone to get them.Unexpectedly, the people from the imperial court had just picked it up, sealed it up and packed it away, when they accidentally ran into a robber on the way and set fire to it maliciously, trying to burn the account books.Fortunately, Jin Yiwei was strong enough to escort them all the way back, and there was no major problem.

Because the king of Chu wants to establish a king, the whole world has already made a fuss. Now that the king’s candidate, Mei Rong, has been imprisoned in the sky prison, the king of Chu still defends it in every possible way, making gossip people speculate—whether this beard is favored by the king of Chu, it must be the king. ?The good story of Chiguoguo's gray boy's counterattack immediately turned up [-] versions, which caused a lot of excitement in the gossip circle, with mixed praise and criticism.

With all the attention, Mei Rong's case has attracted the attention of the world, but the investigation cannot be completed overnight, if Mei Rong stays in the prison for a long time, nothing will happen, and it will be a hindrance to her reputation.

Sure enough, there were people who were affected by the disaster and wanted to ask Mei Rong, the mastermind behind the famine and civil uprising, for an explanation.

Mu Ci was not in a hurry, and calmly instructed "Daily Morning News" to set up a special page on characters. Taking advantage of the fact that the Western Expedition Army defeated Xiliang and was about to return to the court with the victorious troops, he made several special reports on the meritorious ministers.

First reported the command of Marshal Changshan Wang Ruoding.The second reports the years of struggle history of General Bai Lin, and the third is the young general of the Prince Ding's Mansion who has emerged in this battle—the heroic and fearless Mu Ruosong who charged forward.

The fourth one to be reported was Mei Rong. The title was "Behind the Victory, the Unsung Heroes". The contribution of Mei Rong and other logistics personnel to this battle was reported in the form of exclusive interviews.It also publicized the fact that Mei Rong defeated the Red Clothes Dashi, almost died for the country, and offered Ding Haizhou and countless belongings to the court.

As the editor of "Daily Morning News", Dou Zhe is in charge of the special edition of this character. Zhuangyuan Lang's fighting power cannot be underestimated. For his own aggrieved youth, Dou Zhe appreciates the warriors on the battlefield even more, so he burns The champion's small universe writes the characters in each issue particularly tall, and brings the readers into the blood-boiling scene in a few words. They can't wait to go to the battlefield in person, experience the passionate moments of blood and fire, and make due contributions to the country! !

"Daily Morning News" is reprinted every day, and it is out of stock every day. The bamboo and ramie used for papermaking near Tianjing City have all been cut down.

The "Beijing News" led by Mu Guangxiao and Mu Yongqing wrote some interesting stories about the relevant characters, making the characters of these heroes more three-dimensional, more friendly to the people, and more popular with everyone.Of course it's also sold out.

The tool of public opinion is very useful, even if Mei Rong has a beard, the common people only care about who will feed him and clothe him, who will give them a stable life. put.Therefore, the public's favorability towards Mei Rong has risen a lot, and knowing that he is a naval general who has expanded the territory, they praise him even more.

Mu Ci once again resorted to his means of planning in advance to turn the tide - if he hadn't produced the newspaper early and had the tools to guide public opinion, it would be hard to clear up Mei Rong's imprisonment.

This kind of prepared painting style gave Emperor Deguang in the palace a bad feeling.

No wonder it was so easy to catch Mei Rong, maybe... no, definitely!Ninth Brother is just waiting to take advantage of Mei Rong's imprisonment, and make a show before suppressing it.

Not to mention, Emperor Deguang knew Mu Ci quite well.

Half a month later, Mei Rong's defendant's charges went to public trial. The venue of the public trial was not the government office, but the king of Chu set up a platform outside the Hall of Martyrs as an open military court. Military public trials will be held here in the future, and anyone can go to see it. .

The evidence from Chudi is obvious. Mei Rong has never done anything to enrich her own pockets. Instead, she has strict requirements to ensure that every grain of grain is used as military rations and distributed in place instead of being scraped away by generals.With the testimonies of witnesses, Mei Rong was not only innocent, but meritorious.

The eyes of the masses are discerning. Seeing that Mei Rong supervised the transportation of rations, the rules were strict and the execution was meticulous, and the generals were not allowed to reach out, ensuring that the military rations were really used to improve the food of the soldiers...Thinking about it with your knees, you can know whether Mei Rong has contributed or not, Purely to offend people.

The public respected Mei Rong even more, even those who scolded him changed their previous style of speaking and praised him instead.

So far, with the support of the King of Chu, General Dinghai used the newspapers and this false accusation to complete a shocking reversal. He made a gorgeous turn and established a glorious and righteous image in front of the people.Some thoughtful people even speculated whether this was King Chu's plan. Otherwise, if King Chu was so defensive, who would be able to arrest his people and put them in prison?

Due to the huge pressure of public opinion, the courtiers including Emperor Deguang did not dare to "murder" the heroes when they returned to the court, so they had to release Mei Rong without charge.

Mu Ci picked Mei Rong back at the public trial stand outside the Hall of Martyrs, and the two held hands in a high-profile manner. The crowd of onlookers consciously parted ways, and watched the two deeply affectionate people go back to the Chu Palace together.

When I got home, I was naturally tender.

Mu Ci pressed Mei Rong to the edge of Bilan Pool, pressed his hands with both hands, and trapped him: "Let me do a good, thorough 'check' to see if my dear, you have not been secretly abused by bad guys ..."

Although Mei Rong could break free of Mu Ci with one hand, he obediently lay down and let the king do whatever he wanted, with a serious face, and solemnly complained: "My lord, someone has to protect his chastity..."

Mu Ci raised her eyebrows: "Is that so? I'm not at ease, I still want to 'check' first..." Then he carefully checked from Meirong's neck all the way down to...

"Hmm~"

"Why have you lost weight? The taste is not as good as before." Mu Ci commented.

Mei Rong looked at the lover in front of her who went to the dungeon for three meals a day to accompany her to eat, she laughed muffledly, her blue eyes kept discharging: "No, everyone said I was raised by you for nothing."

"No, you've been locked up for more than half a month. You shouldn't be sleeping alone at night. Do you think I lost weight?"

Mei Rong is kind and gentle: "Oh, just saying that, I really feel that I have lost a lot of weight...otherwise..." He has always let go, raised his leg to hook Mu Ci, "Use yours again...Give it to me carefully..." Check check..."

Mu Ci really, explained the profound things in a simple way, and "examined" Mei Rong over and over again...

On the second day, Mei Rong slept in and got up late as a matter of course, but Mu Ci didn't leave the bedroom, and used a screen to separate the area to handle business.

The two confessed that they were ready to get married, and it was the perfect time when Mei Rong finished washing up, and Mu Ci hugged and kissed each other in the clean room, and the two were satisfied and put breakfast in the bedroom. Eat comfortably in your own home.

Due to a lot of work, Mu Ci continued to deal with official duties after finishing her meal, Mei Rong had just been released, so she simply took a day off and pestered Mu Ci to sit with him to watch the council.

Le Zhao had already developed some immunity to the blind En Aixiu, and reported in a slow manner: "The one who tried to burn records and account books in the Northwest has been determined to be the staff of Zhen Guo General Li Qidong, who is Zhen Bei Gong. Li Qixin's cousin was adopted by Li Qixin's father due to the early death of his parents, so he is not much different from his own brother."

Lezhao took over Mei Rong's work, and watched the construction of grain roads in the northwest. Because Mei Rong was falsely accused, he needed his records and account books to prove his innocence.Because of the strict control in Chudi, no one could do anything, so the court officials had just walked out of Chudi with the evidence, and they were almost caught by the masked man, destroying the evidence so that Mei Rong could not argue with it.

Le Zhao had paid attention to it early on, and the oriole came after him, and Jin Yiwei did his best to arrest everyone, so that the court officials returned to Beijing with relevant documents and returned Mei Rong's innocence.

Otherwise, if the matter becomes serious and there is no evidence for a long time, not only Mei Rong will be unlucky, but Mu Ci will also be implicated.After all, Mei Rong is the backer of the King of Chu, and a king who wants to be registered, and usually acts on behalf of the King of Chu.

It can be seen that the purpose of the people behind it is not simple.

Mu Ci knew this well, but he never saw him in a hurry. He was slowly fed a scallion roll, wiped Mei Rong's hands with a towel, and asked calmly, "What's your motive?"

"Li Qidong only said that he was not strictly supervised, and that he launched a subordinate who said he was selfish for revenge. Because Mr. Mei is unkind, the food sent is real, and the whole army announced it, cutting off their way of exploiting money."

Mei Rong didn't think she made a mistake at all, took a glutinous rice plum cake to eat, thought it was good, and fed the half-bitten part to Mu Ci, fully playing the role of a helpful wife, and didn't express any opinions...Anyway, there is a man of her own who supports it in front of.

It is said that Mei Rong has been fighting at sea for many years, and she always stood at the forefront, going through life and death, and now this feeling of being covered and protected by someone under the wings...it's pretty good.

Mu Ci said: "Impeach the officials here, and burn the materials there. It can be seen that someone is planning behind the scenes. There must be someone in Beijing who is playing tricks. Continue to investigate."

"Yes!" Le Zhao agreed, this time he was almost injured and turned half bald like Cang Yu, and he would definitely not let anyone go.

Mu Ci asked again: "How's the investigation by Yanbao?"

"It looks like a few radical speakers..."

Mu Ci interrupted: "No, I don't care who is behind them, I just need loopholes."

Ye Xingwei had been prepared for a long time, Le Zhao gave Mu Ci a confidential file, Mu Ci read it, nodded: "I am worried that there are no typical cases to catch after the introduction of the new law," and then instructed, "First, report the "Yan Bao" According to the news law in the new law, they must be responsible for defaming General Dinghai and causing bad influence, publicly apologize and bear the corresponding responsibility. Second, they did not pay the fee for the use of movable type printing technology patents, which is an infringement, and they went to the door to seize it. All operations are being carried out with great fanfare, and the more people know about it, the better."

Le Shu worried and said: "Master, if the official makes a fuss, saying that you are 'crime for speech'..."

Mou Yu just came back from work, and when he heard this, he ordered directly: "Do it! If you don't fight back after being bullied to the head, wouldn't it make people look down upon you? We have evidence and we are not afraid of whoever says it, we should give it to the jumper." Pour some cold water on them to calm them down."

Mu Ci nodded.

Le Zhao laughed and went down with a belly full of black water.

Le Shu sneered: "I'm also worried about you." It's not that he is not angry, this time, if Mr. Mei's matter is not handled properly, the reputation of the entire Chu Palace will be damaged.

Everyone knows that Le Shu has no bad intentions, and no one blames him.

Mou Yu didn't need to be greeted by anyone, and he had a sense of ownership. He sat at the dining table, took breakfast, and ate it. They were sent to the Weiqiu Branch of the Military Hospital. The first batch of wounded soldiers from the Western Expedition Army who had withdrawn from the battlefield will also arrive this afternoon, and they are arranged to rest and recuperate in the Eastern Suburb Camp of the Sixth Imperial Army. The Eastern Suburb Branch of the Military Hospital After the arrangement is made, monks and Taoists who are good at medicine, and other medical centers have agreed to provide free clinics, but what about the medicines?"

"The imperial court will deal with the medicines. Normal saline and iodine in Chu, as well as other medicines for wound healing, are open to the imperial court to purchase. I will settle the cost with the Ministry of War." Mu Ci said, it's not that he can't afford some medicines, but The Western Expedition Army belongs to the national army, and it should be the country that provides free medical care for the soldiers. Individuals cannot buy the morale of the army.

Mou Yu knew that Mu Ci's concern was right, and said again: "It is reasonable to say that the return of wounded soldiers to the camp is not a triumphant return. His Majesty will not go out of the palace in person, and should send a clan prince or prince to meet the wounded soldiers. What about you? Do you want to go to meet the wounded soldiers?" ?”

"Of course I'm going..." Mu Ci glanced at Mou Yu, "You just mentioned it, what's the problem?"

Mou Yu took a look at the possessive Mei Rong who was almost holding Mu Ci in his arms, and said frankly: "It was Zi Ren who brought the wounded soldier back, and he also suffered serious injuries this time. Save me, I almost can't come back."

Mu Ci knew about Mu Ruosong's injury from the battle reports, and frowned upon hearing this.

Regarding the previous relationship that ended without a cause, Mu Ci did not seriously explain to Mei Rong, it was unnecessary.But Mei Rong is a smart, scheming man with a dark belly, and he has pieced together the truth from bits and pieces of information, so it's not surprising that Mou Yu wanted to take a look at himself when he mentioned "Zi Ren".

Mei Rong is well versed in jealousy, and said to Mu Ci knowingly, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go with you."

"Okay." Mu Ci still has nothing to explain, and he will not change any decision because of anyone or anything, and will only have a clear conscience.

……

In the afternoon, Mu Ci waited early at the gate of the Eastern Suburb Branch of the Military Hospital, accompanied by two princes and a group of friends. A young woman wearing a gauze hat stood beside the Xian Shizi and his wife, who was the grandson concubine Thank you Si Niang.Behind are several civil and military officials.There are also many doctors who have been summoned, and more than a dozen carts of medicinal materials.

It is worth mentioning that among the crowd were several people from major newspapers responsible for collecting news. Dou Zhe, the editor of "Daily Morning News", was among them. Seeing Mu Ci from a distance, he bowed deeply and did not come forward to speak. .

Because some of the wounded soldiers were from the local area of ​​Tianjing City and its surrounding areas, their family members had also been waiting here early.Not long after, many onlookers who love to join in the fun heard about this incident, and even heard that the King of Chu was welcoming them, and rushed over one after another. All of them had baskets full of wheat cakes, eggs and various fruits.

On the horizon not far away, a few red and gold dragon flags appeared, with the word "Mu" waving in the wind, it was obvious that this battle was a newcomer, very brave, charging forward, using soldiers to match, making people elusive. General, set the banner of Mu Ruosong, the grandson of the palace.

Everyone looked forward to it.

It didn't take long for this man to look pitiful, but in fact he was in good spirits. A team of wounded soldiers who were still maintaining a defensive formation on the march came to the front. The seriously injured or disabled soldiers were lying in the carriage surrounded by the lightly wounded. Wrapped in gauze, they walked over supporting each other.

The leader was Mu Ruosong riding on a horse. Beside him were 300 private soldiers who were going to go from Mu Ci. After calculation, there were only more than [-] soldiers left, and all of them were injured.Even Lieutenant General Feng Luo got off a carriage with one arm dangling and a pale face.

Mu Ci had read the battle report and knew that Mu Ruosong had been leading the team to charge forward. Of course, he was not reckless, but asked himself to be the forward, and charged forward according to the order of King Chang Shan.Because Mu Ci had no right to interfere with the strategic deployment, he never said anything about this, but Ding Wang wrote to him repeatedly, asking Chang Shan Wang to take it easy.King Chang Shan didn't talk to King Ding at all—such a good striker, combined with the high-strength combat power and sharp weapons of the Jiandao Battalion, was simply overwhelming, and it was useless.

Now, when you see these wounded soldiers, you can imagine how hard it was for the forwards in this battle.

As soon as Feng Luo saw the person who was welcoming him, he immediately pulled out a gentle smile, making the onlookers who didn't know the truth think that this young general was very cute and harmless, and it would be a waste of money to go to war.

Ha ha……

This is completely an illusion. As a lieutenant general who is good at tricks, there are not [-] or [-] Xiliang and Beirong soldiers who were killed by him in this battle.

Feng Luo's habitual smiling expression of being harmless to humans and animals almost cracked when he saw Mu Ci clearly...

master!

dear ones...

At this moment, Feng Luo really wanted to rush to the master's feet, accusing Shisun of madly attacking and reckless, oppressing and exploiting him inhumanely, and in order to save this Shisun who used too much force, he almost couldn't come back to see the master again feeling of grievance...

With so many people watching, Master Feng Luo desperately held back.

Even more because of Mu Ci's expression...

very ugly!

……

Feng Luo didn't need to complain, Mu Ci frowned when he saw the appearance of Mu Ruosong and his group, and his face became condensed...

Everyone suddenly felt the low air pressure on the top of the hood, and even the sound of breathing subconsciously eased... Everyone knows that this young king, with a heart like a quiet lake under the moon, will always be indifferent and undisturbed by the world of mortals.Now that he is showing dissatisfaction on his face, it is obvious that someone has touched his bottom line.

The king of Chu is angry!

The consequences are serious...

Mu Ruosong was also caught off guard, and when he came back and saw Mu Ci, he was completely stunned.He couldn't think, and stared at Mu Ci steadfastly. Other people and other things were like blurred backgrounds, which were meaningless to him.

He knew Mu Ci very well, and when he saw Mu Ci's serious face and burning eyes, he shouted in his heart, "It's over..."

He knew which line he stepped on Mu Ci! !

Sure enough, Mu Ci walked up to him and raised her hand gently... The red blood sweat BMW obediently obeyed his spiritual command, lowered its head, slowly bent its front legs, and knelt down in front of Mu Ci.

The fierce-tempered horse is so docile in front of the King of Chu.She even rubbed her head against Mu Ci's hand, almost acting like a baby, expressing her grievances.Mu Ci patted the horse's head and stroked it.

This miraculous move made the whole scene quiet, and everyone held their breaths to watch what the King of Chu wanted to do.

The horse knelt down, and it didn't cause much jolt, but Mu Ruosong, who was sitting on the horse, wobbled and almost fell off, and called out cautiously: "Ruoque..."

His heart was shaking, his breathing was short of breath, his eyes...

Only Mu Ci is alone! !

Mu Ci took two steps forward, stretched out her hand... Mu Ruosong closed her eyes and waited.But Mu Ci didn't hit her down, she just lightly covered Mu Ruosong's black face covered with vicissitudes and sweat at the moment, and touched it gently like a lover, then touched his chest along his chin, and stopped on the belt ...

"Shall I help you take it off, or do you take it off yourself?" Mu Ci asked.
