I am the county magistrate in Daming
Chapter 88 For whom
Holding the handle of the knife, Mou Bin exited the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion, stood sideways outside, looked up at the sky, it seemed that he didn't intend to care about Zhu Jingshou's rebellion.
Mu Qing looked around, and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, sir."
Mu Bin was giving him time to say goodbye to Zhu Jingshou, and also asked him to appease Zhu Jingshou's emotions as soon as possible.
"I'm going to find the Queen Mother." Zhu Jingshou softened his attitude, but still stopped Mu Qingtian from going out.
Mu Qingtian mercilessly twisted the back of Zhu Jingshou's hand.
"If the Empress Dowager changes her mind because of you, she won't let the emperor send someone to the door of Prince Qing's Mansion."
Mu Bin's eyelids twitched.
I haven't heard that there is a prince living abroad, what is the meaning of Mu Qingtian's "brother emperor"?
The reason why Mu Qingtian spoke so smoothly is because he was tossed by Zhu Crazy Wolf once before with the excuse of "why didn't he change his mouth". It's so ineffective that I don't respond to myself.
Except in court, in private, especially when facing Zhu Jingshou, he obediently called Zhu Youtang "Emperor Brother".
Anyway, the change of mouth fee was also charged-it was said by Zhu Youtang and the queen himself.
"Li Guang is in a hurry now." Mu Qingtian said, "The Empress Dowager is sensible and will not wrong a good person."
No matter what, Zhu Jingshou couldn't say anything about Mu Qingtian, and it was impossible for him to really resist the order of the Guanfu.
He suddenly hugged Mu Qingtian and kissed him fiercely, frantically plundering the air in Mu Qingtian's chest, not giving him a chance to take a breath.
hiss--
Mu Bin regrets that he has good eyes and ears.
Did the mouths of those two people in the palace stick together?No, it should be King Qing who forced Lord Mu.
Mu Qingtian let Zhu Jingshou play around, bearing his uneasiness and anxiety, stroking Zhu Jingshou's slightly trembling back with his hand, as if he was smoothing the fur of a wolf who was reluctant to leave his lover.
"If I really go to jail, I still have to rely on you." Mu Qingtian joked.
hiss--
Mu Bin scratched his ears.
Master Mu is going to go through the back door openly.
"Ah."
Zhu Jingshou's voice was still aggrieved, he slowly let go of Mu Qingtian, and walked out of the palace holding his hand.
Mou Bin immediately turned around, cupped his fists and bowed.
"This king entrusts the princess to you. If anything happens, this king will make your head fall."
Mu Qingtian stabbed Zhu Jingshou's waist.
"Then what are you doing so fiercely? You're threatening other commanders."
As he said that, he stared at Mou Bin with a smile, and said: "The head is too serious. At most, I will have to trouble the master of the command room to replace me in the future. Come to the palace to drink tea and chat with the prince."
"There's no need to warm the bed. Your Highness King Qing recognizes people and pillows."
Mu Bin: Then you are really "caring" and "generous".
Mu Qingtian was not worried that he would fall into Li Guang's hands because of this matter, because the emperor and empress were all on his side, and the queen mother was certainly the queen mother, but the country belonged to Zhu Youtang.
Li Guang didn't rashly reveal his relationship with Zhu Jingshou, one is not 100% sure, and the other is to keep a line for himself.He knew very well that if he really did this, King Qing and him would never die.
Instead of waiting for Li Guang, it is better to hold the initiative in your own hands and infiltrate it little by little.
Zhu Jingshou watched Mou Bin take Mu Qingtian away, and when he couldn't see the back of the Jinyiwei team, he immediately handed over the sign and entered the palace, saying that he wanted to see the Queen Mother.
Li Guang happened to be in the Renshou Palace when the news of seeing him was delivered.
"Empress Dowager, you can't promise King Qing."
"Prince Qing and Mu Qingtian have a good relationship, and they often slept together in Zimingli. After Mu Qingtian came to Shuntian Mansion, he has been living in Prince Qing's Mansion. Even if the emperor gave him a house, he didn't move out."
The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled disdainfully.
"You know it well."
"Could it be that you have to sneak into Prince Qing's mansion every night and hide under Prince Qing's bed to eavesdrop?"
The queen mother saw her son, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Youtang's father, being toyed around by eunuchs, treacherous officials and demon concubines, leaving only two princes in the end.
She hated eunuchs who bullied her superiors and subordinates, and she hated Empress Zhang very much when she first heard that her grandson Zhu Youtang would not open the harem.
But later, Empress Zhang managed the harem in an orderly manner, and gave birth to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, so she went with Zhu Youtang.
She was powerless at that time, and now she is the queen mother of two dynasties, how could she let Li Guang cholera mess with the court again?
"The slave made a slip of the tongue." Li Guang knelt on the ground obediently.
"Get up."
The Empress Dowager Zhou really didn't want to see Zhu Jingshou very much, but she didn't want to hear Li Guang buzzing in her ears even more.
"King Xuanqing, come."
It happened that she also asked, what is the relationship between Mu Qingtian and her good grandson.
-
Mu Bin didn't embarrass Mu Qingtian along the way, nor put him in shackles or shackles, and went around to Dali Temple in a low-key way.
Dali Siqing received the emperor's order early, went through the process of being promoted to the court for interrogation, and handed over Mu Qingtian to the Prison Division of the Ministry of Punishment without asking any questions.
Mu Qingtian looked curiously at the prisoners in the cells on both sides, and the guard next to him even explained it to him.
"This is the Dizifang, and the prisoners are all civilians who committed crimes, as well as rogues."
"This is the Tianzifang, where some criminals or criminals who have not been executed are held here."
Mu Qingtian suddenly realized and nodded, and asked: "Then I should go to the Tianzi room."
The jailer smiled and said, "My lord is joking, your cell is at the innermost."
The prisoner in the Tianzi room took a mouthful of old blood, neither up nor down.Some stared at the jailer angrily, cursing, saying that the jailer was unfair and took bribes; some looked at Mu Qingtian enviously, trying to please him.
The jailer drew out the long whip from his waist and threw it on the ground, roaring.
"Quiet! If there is any more noise, whip five!"
Mu Qingtian cowardly covered her ears.
It's terrible.
His cell is at the innermost side of the Tianzi room, and it looks like it was built temporarily.
The room is clean, unlike other cells that are full of sewage and weeds; there is a wooden table in the center of the cell, with melons, fruits, cakes, tea, everything you need; looking to the side, there is a small table in the corner, surrounded by It is covered with a thick wool blanket, which is comfortable to look at; opposite the small table is a screen embroidered with landscapes, flowers and birds.
The jailer unlocked the cell and led Mu Qingtian in.
"It's not time to eat yet, there are only some snacks on the table, please make do with it, my lord."
"If your lord wants to eat, you can order, and the next official will send someone to buy it."
Mu Qingtian was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No need, it's all good, just follow the rules."
The jailer laughed.
According to the rules, that is not the case now.
"There is a bathtub behind the screen. If you want to take a bath, you can just ask someone to bring hot water in."
"The bed is at the innermost, and there is a curtain to block it."
"Prisoners may be indiscriminate at night, and you should bear the burden."
Mu Qingtian felt that he was not here to go to jail, but to travel, or to have an immersive experience.
-
Zhu Jingshou changed into a festive uniform and rode to the palace.
"Why did King Qing come to Aijia Palace today?"
As soon as Zhu Jingshou entered the door, the queen mother gave him a big blow.
"The Ai family heard from the emperor that some time ago, King Qing was in the court, but he was brilliant and accomplished a lot."
Zhu Jingshou smiled wryly, came over and half knelt beside the Empress Dowager's legs, rubbing her legs.
"Grandma, don't make fun of your grandson."
"My grandson is away all the year round, so I don't know anything about government affairs. If the emperor didn't push me so hard, my grandson would have to be sick for a few more months."
The queen mother scolded: "If you rest again, the Chinese New Year will be over."
Zhu Jingshou pretended to be surprised.
"How did the imperial grandmother guess what her grandson meant?!"
The Empress Dowager Zhou was teased by Zhu Jingshou, she no longer had a sullen face, and gave him a seat to sit down.
"The Ai family doesn't understand why you have to protect Mu Qingtian, who is just a mere Mu Qingtian."
She could tell the emperor's attitude, he was clearly reluctant, and because of her status as the empress dowager, she pretended to imprison him.
"Because Mu Qingtian is a talented person." Zhu Jingshou said softly.
"Then Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia are also talented and loyal ministers. They must not be able to do such a thing."
Zhu Jingshou blinked and said.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know about Ma Jie yet."
"how?"
"He came to Aijia Palace a few days ago, he is a good boy."
Zhu Jingshou eloquently told about Ma Jie molesting Mu Qingtian in the street.
The Empress Dowager Zhou was obviously taken aback.
"Mu Qingtian is a man."
"No matter how drunk you are, you won't mistake a man for a woman."
Zhu Jingshou's expression was unpredictable, and he said, "What if he didn't regard Mu Qingtian as a woman at all?"
He originally wanted to speak ill of Ma Jie, but during the chat, he was so full of anger and jealousy that he almost ignited it.
"Ma Jie dares to lie to Aijia?!" The Queen Mother Zhou said incredulously, "Aijia, Aijia said the day before yesterday that he would propose marriage to him, and picked out many noble girls, and he agreed!"
Zhu Jingshou shook his head and said, "Grandmother, think about it carefully."
Regardless of whether Ma Jie is not jealous of others, as Ma Wensheng's son, he will eventually marry a woman and start a family.
The Queen Mother Zhou quickly figured out the truth.
"It really makes no sense."
"Grandma, don't be angry, Ma..."
"how about you?"
The Empress Dowager Zhou abruptly interrupted Zhu Jingshou's words, and looked at him without blinking.
Zhu Jingshou avoided the Queen Mother's sight guiltily and scratched his nose.
"The little prince of the north is still alive, how can the grandson get married with peace of mind."
"The Ai family didn't ask you this." The Queen Mother Zhou was a little annoyed.
"Tell Aijia honestly, if you haven't married these years, will you also..."
She couldn't say what her grandson "good Longyang" said.
"No, no." Zhu Jingshou hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that my grandson hasn't met anyone he likes."
Of course, now that I have encountered it, I stamped it.
The Empress Dowager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mu Qingtian, Rong Ai's family will think about it again."
Zhu Jingshou knew that what the Empress Dowager meant by saying this meant that she planned to let Mu Qingtian go.
"The imperial grandmother is kind."
"Okay, the goal has been achieved, I think you don't want to stay in the Aijia Palace anymore. Go and see your emperor brother, and go to the East Palace to see the crown prince when you have time."
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang was playing chess, and when he saw his younger brother coming in, he even patted the mat under his buttocks.
"Come on, Chang'an, play a few rounds with me."
Zhu Jingshou's back felt cold for no reason.
"Chang'an, you are not in the palace, so you don't know the suffering of being a brother."
"When the Queen Mother gets angry, the palace will tremble three times."
Zhu Jingshou said cautiously: "My brother thanked you first."
"Hey, between brothers, there is nothing to thank."
"It's just that the treasury is empty recently..."
Qingqing just "greeded" you 30 taels back, still empty? ? ?
"I got a chess record a few days ago, and I want to try it."
"If you lose, how about a few thousand taels?"
Zhu Jingshou couldn't refuse.
Zhu Youtang is in a good mood.
The younger sister-in-law is indeed a treasure, able to earn money and control his younger brother.
In the end, Zhu Jingshou lost the three sons, and gave 3000 taels to his elder brother. The right was to "redeem" Mu Qingtian.
-
Everyone in Shuntian Mansion was happy and reconciled, but the imperial envoy sent to Taicang Prefecture had already got words from Mu Yushi.
Mu Yushi never knew what a "crystal cup" was, and initially denied it.
Afterwards, Li Guang's people brought "personal evidence" and "material evidence" to the court, and all the crimes were directed at Mu Qingtian.
The witness is Zhang Fu's housekeeper, that is, the "weird man" who blocked the way, and the physical evidence is Mu Yushi's other treasures who donated officials to Mu Qingtian and bribed Yao Jingdao back then.
Back then when the Zhang Mansion was burned, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou only found a corpse inside. It seemed to be Zhang Fu, but Zhang Fu's housekeeper mysteriously disappeared.
After all, he is a small person, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou thought that it was his ability to escape from the fire scene, so they did not continue to investigate.
Unexpectedly, it was the root of the disaster.
The ironclad evidence was like a mountain, under the strong pressure of the imperial envoy's court, Mu Yushi had no time to think, and there was only one thing left in his mind.
Keep your son.
He pleaded guilty to the crime of illicit shipping, saying that he bought the crystal cup with Suzhou silk and tea leaves. Mu Qingtian didn't know about it, let alone that the crystal cup came from Fanbang.
The imperial envoy obviously didn't believe Mu Yushi's words, so he asked him to recruit the truth, otherwise he would have to be sentenced to death.
Mu Yushi firmly insisted that he was the only one who donated officials to the sea, and Mu Qingtian didn't know about it from the beginning to the end!
"My lord, the grassroots plead guilty!!!"
The imperial envoy knew that this matter involved a lot, so he didn't torture him for interrogation, he only used a stick.
But no matter how he asked, Mu Yushi would not change his words, and Mrs. Mu would not change his words either.
The person involved in shipping was found, and the imperial envoy confiscated Mu's family according to the regulations, and escorted Mu Yushi and his wife to Beijing to wait for the trial of the emperor and Dali Temple.
-
Another year passed, Mu Qingtian ate and drank in prison for several months, and "called" King Qing to "sleep with him" from time to time, not only did he not lose weight, he also gained several catties.
Near the end of the year, the Queen Mother finally let go and let Mu Qingtian out.
Zhu Youtang put on a show and fined Mu Qingtian half a year's salary, leaving him half a year's official position.
Anyway, I live in Prince Qing's Mansion, and I have my younger brother to take care of me, so I can't go hungry.
At this moment, Master Mu was still immersed in the joy of Tianxiang's half-year vacation, and didn't know what he was about to encounter.
New Year's Day: Mrs. Mu lay in bed and didn't get up.
The second day of the Lunar New Year: Mrs. Mu was lying in bed and couldn't get up.
The third day of the Lunar New Year: Master Mu, Master Mu is not lying on the bed, but went to soak in the hot spring.
Cui Han and Yan Xunli finally caught up with him for a day, but Zhu Jingshou let his elder Nun go to visit.
"I was scared to death at that time." Cui Han patted his chest.
Yan Xunli couldn't help laughing and said, "Cui Han also asked me if I could rob the prison."
He tugged at the face of the person wrapped in a snowball beside him.
"You wish that your husband could not enter the prison fast enough."
Cui Han laughed.
"Isn't that why you are worried about Master Mu..."
Mu Qingtian was resentful.
Why does his New Year's schedule only have stir-fries, and he has to eat Cui Han's dog food! !
-
After the new year, when Zhu Youtang opened the dynasty, Li Guang first proposed to build Yuxiu Pavilion.
Unsurprisingly, few important officials in the court supported him, especially Ma Wensheng and Ye Qi, who spoke so fiercely that they almost nailed Li Guang to a pillar to scold him.
It was the first time for Li Guang to encounter such a big resistance, and tried to clear up the relationship everywhere, but he repeatedly hit the wall.
Without Mu Qingtian's help, Yuxiu Pavilion would never have been built.
At this time, the imperial envoy who went to Taicang Prefecture to investigate the shipping incident returned to the court.
Li Guang made many inquiries and obtained all the case files and evidence before the imperial envoy reported it to the emperor.
"Take this jade pendant and invite Master Mu to come." He smiled darkly.
The moment Mu Qingtian saw the jade pendant, his expression changed.
"What happened?" Zhu Jingshou reached out to support his back.
"This is father's jade pendant." Mu Qingtian held the jade pendant tightly, turning his head away from the blood on the rope.
Zhu Jingshou pushed his hand away, picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully.
The eunuch who sent the message was arrogant, with a strange air of yin and yang.
"Master Mu still doesn't know our lord's temper?"
It was precisely because Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou knew each other well that the reaction was so great.
The jade pendant is probably real, the question is how did Li Guang get this jade pendant?
"lead the way."
"Wait." Zhu Jingshou called to stop Mu Qingtian.
He went out alone, and when he came back, he held a rope in his hand.
Seeing the stranger in the room, Handsome immediately bared his fangs, and let out a low "woo hoo" sound, as if he would pounce on the eunuch and tear him apart in the next moment.
"Ah!" It was said that the eunuch's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
"Go handsome."
Zhu Jingshou handed the rope to Mu Qingtian.
The two looked at each other and smiled, with the same sly expressions.
That day, many people said that they saw a mighty gray wolf on the street.Those who knew Mu Qingtian were even more surprised.
Zhu Youtang had heard earlier that his younger brother's house raised a wolf, which was caught from the wild and kept by his side since he was a child.
He gained his rights at the expense of his liberty.Being imprisoned in the palace, my heart is also longing for novel things outside.
Mu Qingtian ostentatiously brought the wolf into the palace, and was lured to the Garden of Beasts by the trembling palace servants.
Handsome is a typical bullying man, he howls vigorously at the peacock on the sycamore tree, and is as quiet as a puppy when facing the mighty lion in the garden of beasts.
Mu Qingtian: ... Cub, Dad is very disappointed in you.
Mu Yingjun: Whoa, whoa! (It's really scary!)
The lion showed a supernatural interest in the handsome, jumping up and down in the cage, roaring loudly.
Mu Qingtian was terrified, and very spinelessly tied his eldest son in place and ran away.
Not long after, Zhu Youtang arrived.
He couldn't wait to see Mu Qingtian's wolf.
I heard from my younger brother that the wolves in Mobei are cunning and vicious. They will come in groups when people are asleep and bite off people's necks.
As a result, when he got to the lion cage, he saw a "bundle" of gray blankets.
Mu Yingjun smelled the familiar scent of his master, and let out a feeble "owwow" to express his dissatisfaction.
But the lion, which was originally locked in a cage, is now nestled next to Mu Yingjun, sleeping with its eyes closed.
Golden Lion: Are you moved?I will accompany you.
Mu Yingjun: Don't dare to move, don't dare to move.
Maybe it was because of the blood relationship, when Zhu Youtang approached Mu Yingjun, it didn't resist or bared its fangs, it obediently let Zhu Youtang touch it, and even ate jerky from his hand.
Zhu Youtang: This is not the same as the wolf I know, a little disappointed.
Handsome is suffering in his heart, but handsome doesn't say anything, handsome is just a tool wolf.
Zhu Youtang didn't have enough fun, and said: "It seems that Chasing Sun likes handsome, why don't you let him run around here."
"Chasing the sun" is the name of the golden lion.
The Garden of Beasts in the imperial palace has raised many rare beasts, some were brought back by Zheng He, the "eunuch of three guarantees", some were brought as tribute from foreign countries, and the rest were sent by hunting from various places.
In order to raise these beasts, Zhu Youtang specially ordered to open up the original Hundred Beasts Garden and build a new pasture for chasing the sun and hunting.
Mu Qingtian pinched the fat on the handsome stomach, and nodded.
Gaining weight during the Chinese New Year, and gaining too much handsomeness, not at all majestic.Look at people chasing the sun, full of tendons.
Zhu Youtang stayed in the Hundred Beasts Garden to tease Yingjun. After Mu Qingtian left, he walked around for a while and went to Li Guang's room.
-
Mu Qingtian held on to the confession in his hand, raised his head and cursed.
"You're a trick of torture!!"
Li Guang was very happy to see him like this, and let out a bad breath.
"Master Mu is confused. From the beginning to the end, the case was handled by imperial envoys. What does it have to do with me?"
With witnesses and evidence, Mu Qingtian has no idea where his parents are being held now, nor can he collude with the confession to overturn the case.
Wait any longer, until the imperial envoy finishes sorting out the case file and submits it to the emperor, it will be too late.
"What request do you have?" Mu Qingtian gritted his teeth.
"Persuade the emperor to build the Yuxiu Pavilion immediately."
"I was dismissed from office for half a year, how can I persuade you!"
Li Guang sneered.
"If you really want to accomplish something, there is always a way."
"Mu Yushi's life is in your hands."
"Of course, I am not forcing you."
"You can do it if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to."
Although Mu Yushi and Mrs. Mu are not Mu Qingtian's biological parents, Mu Qingtian has long regarded them as his relatives.
Whether it was the first three months of time travelling, living in Mu's Mansion, donating officials later, or the letters that must come every month... Mu Qingtian got love from Zhu Jingshou, and got what he never had from the Mu family and his wife. affection.
"I'll find a way."
Li Guang grinds his nails.
"Walk slowly without sending."
"Master Mu, hurry up, life is at stake."
Zhu Youtang didn't know what happened, but when he heard Mu Qingtian said that he would foster Yingjun in Baishouyuan for a few days, he was overjoyed.
Back at the palace, Mu Qingtian told Zhu Jingshou about his parents, and asked him if he could think of a way.
Zhu Jingshou looked solemn.
"Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, just told me that the north came to report, and the scouts found the movement of the little prince's troops."
In the past two years, the little prince settled down a bit, but his tribe continued to harass the northern border of Ming Dynasty, trying in vain to restore the Yuan Dynasty and restore the glory of his ancestor Genghis Khan.
At this time, the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion started, if the little prince invaded, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mu Qingtian turned around in a hurry, and even spoke with a crying tone.
"I can't watch them take the blame for me!"
That's right, the most important point is that Mu Yushi voluntarily charged Mu Qingtian with illicit shipping.
He was the one who took out the crystal cup, and it had nothing to do with Mu Yushi at all.
Zhu Jingshou was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he stretched out his arms to hug him, forcing him to look at him.
"It'll be fine, don't worry."
"I, how could I not worry..."
Now Mu Qingtian understood Zhu Jingshou's mood when he watched him being escorted away by Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Jingshou sent secret guards to find out where Mu Yushi and his wife were detained, but the imperial envoy in charge of investigating the case couldn't resist the temptation. He felt that the evidence was overwhelming and it was impossible to reverse the case, so he accepted Li Guang's bribes and intercepted them in various ways.
When Li Guang heard about it, he stood up and threw the wooden sign with Mu Qingtian's name into the fire.
In March, the imperial envoy returned to the court and revealed a major private business case that shocked the ruling and opposition parties.
Under pressure, Zhu Youtang took over Mu Yushi's case and handed it over to Dali Temple for further investigation.
Li Guang sent another letter to Prince Qing's Mansion.
The letter stated that if Mu Qingtian could reverse the situation in the court and start building the Yuxiu Pavilion, he would be able to protect Mu Yushi and his wife from death.
When Zhu Jingshou rushed home from the palace, he ran into the worried Cuizhu.
"My lord, go and persuade the young master."
"Young master cried all afternoon and didn't eat anything. If you continue to cry, your body will definitely not be able to take it!"
Zhu Jingshou took off the cloak and handed it to Cuizhu, and ran to his and Mu Qingtian's room.
Pushing open the door, Mu Qingtian was sitting on the ground, crying bitterly holding a ball of paper, and there were many empty wine bottles scattered around.
"Qingqing stop crying, stop crying, Chang'an is here." He squatted down distressedly, and carried Mu Qingtian back to the bed.
Before the righteousness and family love, Mu Qingtian had to sacrifice one.
He had made a decision long ago, that's why he burst into tears, and that's why he couldn't bear the torment in his heart.
Zhu Jingshou's voice was very soft and soft, gradually soothing Mu Qingtian's heart.
-
The next morning, Mu Qingtian woke up first.
He stared at the beam in a daze, tears running down the corner of his eyes.
Zhu Jingshou keenly caught the sobbing sound around him, opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to press Mu Qingtian's head into his arms.
"Chang'an, I can't watch them die, I can't watch them suffer."
Zhu Jingshou closed his eyes in pain.
In the same way, he can't make fun of the emperor's brother's country, and he can't take Daming's people as a bet for the Bomei people to laugh.
"I'm going to stay with them in jail."
"Calm down, there is still a way." Zhu Jingshou said in a panic.
Mu Qingtian leaned on Zhu Jingshou's strong chest, and whispered "Yes".
-
Zhu Youtang sentenced the Mu family and his wife to execution in April for the crime of privately engaging in shipping and donating officials.Because Mu Qingtian made great contributions to repairing the broken bridge, he was not allowed to sit in a row.
In April, before the execution, Mu Qingtian was specially allowed to visit the prison.
Mu Yushi was not treated like Mu Qingtian in the prison. After a few months, he was so thin that his face was covered with stains, his lips were split several times, and his beard grew to the front of his neck, exuding a foul smell.
When he saw Mu Qingtian, there was light in his eyes.
"Qing'er...Master Mu."
Mu Qingtian couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, lifted his robe and knelt down, knocking his head heavily several times.
"Boy, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."
Mu Yushi and Mrs. Mu stared wide-eyed, supported each other to stand up, and said in a trembling voice.
"Stop kneeling, stop kneeling, it's all dad's fault, it's dad's vanity."
If he didn't donate to Mu Qingtian, he wouldn't be in this situation.
Fortunately, fortunately, Mu Qingtian was not implicated.
Mu Qingtian walked out of the jailer with Zhu Jingshou half-embracing him.
"Chang'an, kiss me."
Regardless of others, Zhu Jingshou gently held Mu Qingtian's lips.
Coincidentally, this scene was seen by the queen mother in micro clothes again.
"The empress dowager! Call the imperial doctor!"
Zhu Jingshou turned around in astonishment, only to see the Empress Dowager Zhou surrounded by everyone, angrily pointing in the direction of him and Mu Qingtian.
"Put Mu Qingtian in prison for Aijia!!!"
Zhu Jingshou stood where he was, and let the Dongchang eunuch and Jin Yiwei step forward to take Mu Qingtian away from him.
He just felt cold all over his body, and the blood seemed to be stagnant in his blood vessels, unable to flow anymore.
King Qing grounded his feet, Mu Qing was ordered to go to prison, and the direction of the wind in the court seemed to change overnight.
King Qing is fond of Longyang, and even had an affair with Mu Qingtian, the case envoy of the Ministry of Industry. This incident completely overwhelmed the case of the Mu family and his wife.
At the same time, the queen gave birth, and the eldest princess was successfully born, and the whole world celebrated together.The emperor pardoned the whole world, and ordered Shuntian Mansion not to see blood within three months.
The execution time was postponed, and Mu Qingtian was imprisoned in the cell opposite Mu Yushi, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
The queen mother was furious, and directly pointed at a princess of Yingtian Mansion as Zhu Jingshou's official concubine.
King Qing resisted the decree, refused to accept it, closed the door of the mansion, and mobilized his own soldiers to guard it.
"He wants to rebel!" The Empress Dowager Zhou jumped up and broke off the nail of her index finger.
In the same month, the little prince's army suddenly appeared in Chaohe Prefecture. Like ghosts and demons, they drove straight in like a broken bamboo. In less than a month, they even invaded Datong.
The government and the public were shocked, and Zhu Youtang sent Zhenyuan General Gu Fan to retreat from the enemy, but he still did not stop the little prince from attacking.
The ministers asked the queen mother to lift the confinement of King Qing, and King Qing led the troops to Datong.
In May, King Qing resisted the decree.
In June, Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, took over the task of transporting grain and grass to Datong, and brought three thousand elites to support Datong.
Empress Dowager Zhou turned gray all night and summoned Zhu Youtang for a secret talk.
At dawn, Zhu Youtang finally came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and fainted on the stone steps.
Zhu Jingshou waited until the queen mother retreated, put on his armor, and went to Renshou Palace with his sword.
When the Queen Mother saw the sword hanging on his waist, her blood surged again.
"Go up to the hall with a sword, do you want to kill Aijia!!"
Zhu Jingshou said indifferently: "I came here on orders."
The Empress Dowager Zhou was tired, and she realized that she had lived her whole life without grasping anything.
"The Ai family agreed to let the Mu family live."
"The empress dowager is merciful."
Zhu Jingshou turned around and left.
"Don't you have anything to say to Aijia!!" Queen Mother Zhou roared heart-piercingly.
Those who had already reached the gate of the hall stopped.
The Empress Dowager Zhou watched the vermilion door slowly close in front of her, with what Zhu Jingshou said just now ringing in her ears.
"The world belongs to the emperor's brother."
Her hands are stretched too far.
Zhu Jingshou didn't go to see Mu Qingtian for the last time, and directly sent troops to Datong.
In July, the governor Yang Yushuai Beijing Yingjun, prepared Yongping.
The little prince was unstoppable, and Qing Wang Zhu Jingshou disappeared for some reason, and his life and death were uncertain.
When Mu Qingtian heard the news in prison, he broke out in cold sweat instantly.
"System, system!"
【exist. 】
"What happened outside?"
The jailers have been in a hurry these days, and they no longer guard the prisoners in the prison.The other prisoners were also groggy, and the Mu family couple leaned against each other and fell asleep soundly. No one paid attention to Mu Qingtian who was talking to himself.
"Da Ming and the little prince are at war."
Mu Qingtian didn't understand this historical material at all, so he quickly called up the system mall, spent a thousand points to buy "25 Histories", found Ming History from it, and located Emperor Hongzhi's biography, looking for what he wanted to know.
"Chi Zhongrong's uprising?" Mu Qingtian frowned, and turned a few pages back.
He found that the records about Li Guang in the 11th year of Hongzhi were deliberately blurred.
"System, do I not have permission to know the ending of the relevant characters?"
【Yes. 】
Mu Qingtian flipped back again, and sure enough, on the page in the 18th year of Hongzhi, the record about Zhu Youtang was also blurred.
However, isn't this telling him in a disguised form that major events happened in Hongzhi's 11th and 18th years?
"system……"
[Cough, system maintenance. 】
Anyway, now he knew two very important things.
Zhu Jingshou is likely to be fighting the little prince, and the peasant uprising led by Chi Zhongrong also broke out at this time.
So, at that time in Wutou, it was Chi Zhongrong who assisted the county magistrate of Wutou? !
Mu Qingtian's heart suddenly lifted.
Chi Zhongrong hated the government, and it is very likely that he would take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Zhu Jingshou.
【King Qing was besieged by Chi Zhongrong's uprising army in the mountains and swamps outside Datong Mansion. 】
"What?!" Mu Qingtian didn't suppress his voice.
[Cough, system maintenance. 】
Mu Qingtian didn't have time to think about the meaning of the system's words, and exchanged the remaining points for all the medicines that could be exchanged in the mall.
"On credit."
[Would you like to buy blood recovery agent on 'credit'? 】
"Yes, yes, hurry up and credit again."
[Would you like to buy Wannian Ganoderma lucidum on credit? 】
"Yes."
He opened the warehouse, and selected the second regular task reward "Concealment Potion".
[Do you want to use the item 'Concealment Potion'? 】
"Yes."
[Used successfully, the concealment time limit is two hours. "]
Mu Yushi woke up in a daze when he heard the voice, and was horrified to find that the door of the opposite cell was wide open, and the people inside had disappeared.
He just wanted to call someone, but after a second thought, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep, pretending nothing happened.
Mu Qingtian ran all the way to the Hundred Beasts Garden and dragged Mu Yingjun away.
Mu Qingtian was still playing with Zhui Ri, when he suddenly smelled Mu Qingtian, he turned around excitedly, but he didn't see him.
"Ow, ooh."
Although it couldn't see its master, it obediently followed the scent and ran out of the garden of beasts.
"Yeah!!! The wolf has come out!!"
"Jinyiwei!"
Mu Qingtian led Mu Yingjun back to the palace, and found the horse he rode most often.
BMW was also very puzzled, he was like a handsome man, he smelled the smell, but there was no one there.
It lives with Mu Yingjun, so it is not afraid of wolves.
Mu Qingtian picked up Mu Yingjun and threw him on the horse, then got on the horse and rushed out of the palace.
"The horse has run away! Catch it!"
Later, many people described today's spectacle as "gods descending to earth", and it was the star of Wuqu who was protecting King Qing.
-
Outside Datong City, Zhu Jingshou's upper body was tied with a white cloth on half of his chest.
"Has the scout returned?"
"I'm back." The person next to him took off his helmet, and it turned out to be Yan Xunli!
"Datong has fallen, there is an inner ghost, Gu Fan has retreated to the next city."
Half a month ago, Zhu Jingshou led his army to Datong. After entering the city, he was ambushed at the Nine Dragon Wall, passed through the Taiping Building, withdrew from the city of Datong through the East Gate, crossed the Yuhe River and hid in the forest.
It's a pity that Chi Zhongrong had already guessed their movements, and set up a poisonous trap in the forest, just waiting for Zhu Jingshou to enter the urn.
"Who is the leader of the rebel army?"
Yan Xunli wiped the mud off his face and said, "I don't know."
"But judging by his moves, he doesn't look like a trained soldier."
Rather, like the bandits he commanded in the past.
"Explore again."
His team first had a diplomatic war with the little prince in Datong City, and had already lost some soldiers.Now trapped in the mountains for half a month, morale is low.
I knew I should say goodbye to Qingqing.Zhu Jingshou smiled wryly.
He must be safe now, waiting for him to go back in the palace.
For the sake of Qingqing and the people of Shuntian Mansion, he had to keep the little prince out of Yongping.
In the middle of the night, soldiers lay together in twos and threes.
Today is Zhu Jingshou and Yan Xunli's vigil.
"Do you regret it?" Zhu Jingshou asked abruptly.
Yan Xunli sneered.
"Who took the paper and forced me to sign it?"
A few years ago, Zhu Jingshou and Yan Xunli had an unpleasant quarrel.
At that time, Zhu Jingshou gave Yan Xunli a choice.
"If there is a war in the future, you must follow me to the battlefield."
Of course Yan Xunli would not agree to such an overbearing request.
After going through so much, he has decided to guard Cui Han'an and live a normal life for the rest of his life in peace, without getting involved in the fights and killings.
"Do you think this king is asking you to choose?"
"To sign or not to sign, you are a smart man."
"Signed, this is a stable life."
Yan Xunli was supposed to treat crimes, so as long as Zhu Jingshou thought about it, the bandits in Chongming County could be revealed at any time.
But going to the battlefield is not a joke, let alone a child's play house.The sword has no shadow, Yan Xunli is afraid that he will die in the sand
Mu Qing looked around, and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, sir."
Mu Bin was giving him time to say goodbye to Zhu Jingshou, and also asked him to appease Zhu Jingshou's emotions as soon as possible.
"I'm going to find the Queen Mother." Zhu Jingshou softened his attitude, but still stopped Mu Qingtian from going out.
Mu Qingtian mercilessly twisted the back of Zhu Jingshou's hand.
"If the Empress Dowager changes her mind because of you, she won't let the emperor send someone to the door of Prince Qing's Mansion."
Mu Bin's eyelids twitched.
I haven't heard that there is a prince living abroad, what is the meaning of Mu Qingtian's "brother emperor"?
The reason why Mu Qingtian spoke so smoothly is because he was tossed by Zhu Crazy Wolf once before with the excuse of "why didn't he change his mouth". It's so ineffective that I don't respond to myself.
Except in court, in private, especially when facing Zhu Jingshou, he obediently called Zhu Youtang "Emperor Brother".
Anyway, the change of mouth fee was also charged-it was said by Zhu Youtang and the queen himself.
"Li Guang is in a hurry now." Mu Qingtian said, "The Empress Dowager is sensible and will not wrong a good person."
No matter what, Zhu Jingshou couldn't say anything about Mu Qingtian, and it was impossible for him to really resist the order of the Guanfu.
He suddenly hugged Mu Qingtian and kissed him fiercely, frantically plundering the air in Mu Qingtian's chest, not giving him a chance to take a breath.
hiss--
Mu Bin regrets that he has good eyes and ears.
Did the mouths of those two people in the palace stick together?No, it should be King Qing who forced Lord Mu.
Mu Qingtian let Zhu Jingshou play around, bearing his uneasiness and anxiety, stroking Zhu Jingshou's slightly trembling back with his hand, as if he was smoothing the fur of a wolf who was reluctant to leave his lover.
"If I really go to jail, I still have to rely on you." Mu Qingtian joked.
hiss--
Mu Bin scratched his ears.
Master Mu is going to go through the back door openly.
"Ah."
Zhu Jingshou's voice was still aggrieved, he slowly let go of Mu Qingtian, and walked out of the palace holding his hand.
Mou Bin immediately turned around, cupped his fists and bowed.
"This king entrusts the princess to you. If anything happens, this king will make your head fall."
Mu Qingtian stabbed Zhu Jingshou's waist.
"Then what are you doing so fiercely? You're threatening other commanders."
As he said that, he stared at Mou Bin with a smile, and said: "The head is too serious. At most, I will have to trouble the master of the command room to replace me in the future. Come to the palace to drink tea and chat with the prince."
"There's no need to warm the bed. Your Highness King Qing recognizes people and pillows."
Mu Bin: Then you are really "caring" and "generous".
Mu Qingtian was not worried that he would fall into Li Guang's hands because of this matter, because the emperor and empress were all on his side, and the queen mother was certainly the queen mother, but the country belonged to Zhu Youtang.
Li Guang didn't rashly reveal his relationship with Zhu Jingshou, one is not 100% sure, and the other is to keep a line for himself.He knew very well that if he really did this, King Qing and him would never die.
Instead of waiting for Li Guang, it is better to hold the initiative in your own hands and infiltrate it little by little.
Zhu Jingshou watched Mou Bin take Mu Qingtian away, and when he couldn't see the back of the Jinyiwei team, he immediately handed over the sign and entered the palace, saying that he wanted to see the Queen Mother.
Li Guang happened to be in the Renshou Palace when the news of seeing him was delivered.
"Empress Dowager, you can't promise King Qing."
"Prince Qing and Mu Qingtian have a good relationship, and they often slept together in Zimingli. After Mu Qingtian came to Shuntian Mansion, he has been living in Prince Qing's Mansion. Even if the emperor gave him a house, he didn't move out."
The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled disdainfully.
"You know it well."
"Could it be that you have to sneak into Prince Qing's mansion every night and hide under Prince Qing's bed to eavesdrop?"
The queen mother saw her son, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Youtang's father, being toyed around by eunuchs, treacherous officials and demon concubines, leaving only two princes in the end.
She hated eunuchs who bullied her superiors and subordinates, and she hated Empress Zhang very much when she first heard that her grandson Zhu Youtang would not open the harem.
But later, Empress Zhang managed the harem in an orderly manner, and gave birth to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, so she went with Zhu Youtang.
She was powerless at that time, and now she is the queen mother of two dynasties, how could she let Li Guang cholera mess with the court again?
"The slave made a slip of the tongue." Li Guang knelt on the ground obediently.
"Get up."
The Empress Dowager Zhou really didn't want to see Zhu Jingshou very much, but she didn't want to hear Li Guang buzzing in her ears even more.
"King Xuanqing, come."
It happened that she also asked, what is the relationship between Mu Qingtian and her good grandson.
-
Mu Bin didn't embarrass Mu Qingtian along the way, nor put him in shackles or shackles, and went around to Dali Temple in a low-key way.
Dali Siqing received the emperor's order early, went through the process of being promoted to the court for interrogation, and handed over Mu Qingtian to the Prison Division of the Ministry of Punishment without asking any questions.
Mu Qingtian looked curiously at the prisoners in the cells on both sides, and the guard next to him even explained it to him.
"This is the Dizifang, and the prisoners are all civilians who committed crimes, as well as rogues."
"This is the Tianzifang, where some criminals or criminals who have not been executed are held here."
Mu Qingtian suddenly realized and nodded, and asked: "Then I should go to the Tianzi room."
The jailer smiled and said, "My lord is joking, your cell is at the innermost."
The prisoner in the Tianzi room took a mouthful of old blood, neither up nor down.Some stared at the jailer angrily, cursing, saying that the jailer was unfair and took bribes; some looked at Mu Qingtian enviously, trying to please him.
The jailer drew out the long whip from his waist and threw it on the ground, roaring.
"Quiet! If there is any more noise, whip five!"
Mu Qingtian cowardly covered her ears.
It's terrible.
His cell is at the innermost side of the Tianzi room, and it looks like it was built temporarily.
The room is clean, unlike other cells that are full of sewage and weeds; there is a wooden table in the center of the cell, with melons, fruits, cakes, tea, everything you need; looking to the side, there is a small table in the corner, surrounded by It is covered with a thick wool blanket, which is comfortable to look at; opposite the small table is a screen embroidered with landscapes, flowers and birds.
The jailer unlocked the cell and led Mu Qingtian in.
"It's not time to eat yet, there are only some snacks on the table, please make do with it, my lord."
"If your lord wants to eat, you can order, and the next official will send someone to buy it."
Mu Qingtian was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No need, it's all good, just follow the rules."
The jailer laughed.
According to the rules, that is not the case now.
"There is a bathtub behind the screen. If you want to take a bath, you can just ask someone to bring hot water in."
"The bed is at the innermost, and there is a curtain to block it."
"Prisoners may be indiscriminate at night, and you should bear the burden."
Mu Qingtian felt that he was not here to go to jail, but to travel, or to have an immersive experience.
-
Zhu Jingshou changed into a festive uniform and rode to the palace.
"Why did King Qing come to Aijia Palace today?"
As soon as Zhu Jingshou entered the door, the queen mother gave him a big blow.
"The Ai family heard from the emperor that some time ago, King Qing was in the court, but he was brilliant and accomplished a lot."
Zhu Jingshou smiled wryly, came over and half knelt beside the Empress Dowager's legs, rubbing her legs.
"Grandma, don't make fun of your grandson."
"My grandson is away all the year round, so I don't know anything about government affairs. If the emperor didn't push me so hard, my grandson would have to be sick for a few more months."
The queen mother scolded: "If you rest again, the Chinese New Year will be over."
Zhu Jingshou pretended to be surprised.
"How did the imperial grandmother guess what her grandson meant?!"
The Empress Dowager Zhou was teased by Zhu Jingshou, she no longer had a sullen face, and gave him a seat to sit down.
"The Ai family doesn't understand why you have to protect Mu Qingtian, who is just a mere Mu Qingtian."
She could tell the emperor's attitude, he was clearly reluctant, and because of her status as the empress dowager, she pretended to imprison him.
"Because Mu Qingtian is a talented person." Zhu Jingshou said softly.
"Then Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia are also talented and loyal ministers. They must not be able to do such a thing."
Zhu Jingshou blinked and said.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know about Ma Jie yet."
"how?"
"He came to Aijia Palace a few days ago, he is a good boy."
Zhu Jingshou eloquently told about Ma Jie molesting Mu Qingtian in the street.
The Empress Dowager Zhou was obviously taken aback.
"Mu Qingtian is a man."
"No matter how drunk you are, you won't mistake a man for a woman."
Zhu Jingshou's expression was unpredictable, and he said, "What if he didn't regard Mu Qingtian as a woman at all?"
He originally wanted to speak ill of Ma Jie, but during the chat, he was so full of anger and jealousy that he almost ignited it.
"Ma Jie dares to lie to Aijia?!" The Queen Mother Zhou said incredulously, "Aijia, Aijia said the day before yesterday that he would propose marriage to him, and picked out many noble girls, and he agreed!"
Zhu Jingshou shook his head and said, "Grandmother, think about it carefully."
Regardless of whether Ma Jie is not jealous of others, as Ma Wensheng's son, he will eventually marry a woman and start a family.
The Queen Mother Zhou quickly figured out the truth.
"It really makes no sense."
"Grandma, don't be angry, Ma..."
"how about you?"
The Empress Dowager Zhou abruptly interrupted Zhu Jingshou's words, and looked at him without blinking.
Zhu Jingshou avoided the Queen Mother's sight guiltily and scratched his nose.
"The little prince of the north is still alive, how can the grandson get married with peace of mind."
"The Ai family didn't ask you this." The Queen Mother Zhou was a little annoyed.
"Tell Aijia honestly, if you haven't married these years, will you also..."
She couldn't say what her grandson "good Longyang" said.
"No, no." Zhu Jingshou hurriedly shook his head, "It's just that my grandson hasn't met anyone he likes."
Of course, now that I have encountered it, I stamped it.
The Empress Dowager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mu Qingtian, Rong Ai's family will think about it again."
Zhu Jingshou knew that what the Empress Dowager meant by saying this meant that she planned to let Mu Qingtian go.
"The imperial grandmother is kind."
"Okay, the goal has been achieved, I think you don't want to stay in the Aijia Palace anymore. Go and see your emperor brother, and go to the East Palace to see the crown prince when you have time."
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang was playing chess, and when he saw his younger brother coming in, he even patted the mat under his buttocks.
"Come on, Chang'an, play a few rounds with me."
Zhu Jingshou's back felt cold for no reason.
"Chang'an, you are not in the palace, so you don't know the suffering of being a brother."
"When the Queen Mother gets angry, the palace will tremble three times."
Zhu Jingshou said cautiously: "My brother thanked you first."
"Hey, between brothers, there is nothing to thank."
"It's just that the treasury is empty recently..."
Qingqing just "greeded" you 30 taels back, still empty? ? ?
"I got a chess record a few days ago, and I want to try it."
"If you lose, how about a few thousand taels?"
Zhu Jingshou couldn't refuse.
Zhu Youtang is in a good mood.
The younger sister-in-law is indeed a treasure, able to earn money and control his younger brother.
In the end, Zhu Jingshou lost the three sons, and gave 3000 taels to his elder brother. The right was to "redeem" Mu Qingtian.
-
Everyone in Shuntian Mansion was happy and reconciled, but the imperial envoy sent to Taicang Prefecture had already got words from Mu Yushi.
Mu Yushi never knew what a "crystal cup" was, and initially denied it.
Afterwards, Li Guang's people brought "personal evidence" and "material evidence" to the court, and all the crimes were directed at Mu Qingtian.
The witness is Zhang Fu's housekeeper, that is, the "weird man" who blocked the way, and the physical evidence is Mu Yushi's other treasures who donated officials to Mu Qingtian and bribed Yao Jingdao back then.
Back then when the Zhang Mansion was burned, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou only found a corpse inside. It seemed to be Zhang Fu, but Zhang Fu's housekeeper mysteriously disappeared.
After all, he is a small person, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou thought that it was his ability to escape from the fire scene, so they did not continue to investigate.
Unexpectedly, it was the root of the disaster.
The ironclad evidence was like a mountain, under the strong pressure of the imperial envoy's court, Mu Yushi had no time to think, and there was only one thing left in his mind.
Keep your son.
He pleaded guilty to the crime of illicit shipping, saying that he bought the crystal cup with Suzhou silk and tea leaves. Mu Qingtian didn't know about it, let alone that the crystal cup came from Fanbang.
The imperial envoy obviously didn't believe Mu Yushi's words, so he asked him to recruit the truth, otherwise he would have to be sentenced to death.
Mu Yushi firmly insisted that he was the only one who donated officials to the sea, and Mu Qingtian didn't know about it from the beginning to the end!
"My lord, the grassroots plead guilty!!!"
The imperial envoy knew that this matter involved a lot, so he didn't torture him for interrogation, he only used a stick.
But no matter how he asked, Mu Yushi would not change his words, and Mrs. Mu would not change his words either.
The person involved in shipping was found, and the imperial envoy confiscated Mu's family according to the regulations, and escorted Mu Yushi and his wife to Beijing to wait for the trial of the emperor and Dali Temple.
-
Another year passed, Mu Qingtian ate and drank in prison for several months, and "called" King Qing to "sleep with him" from time to time, not only did he not lose weight, he also gained several catties.
Near the end of the year, the Queen Mother finally let go and let Mu Qingtian out.
Zhu Youtang put on a show and fined Mu Qingtian half a year's salary, leaving him half a year's official position.
Anyway, I live in Prince Qing's Mansion, and I have my younger brother to take care of me, so I can't go hungry.
At this moment, Master Mu was still immersed in the joy of Tianxiang's half-year vacation, and didn't know what he was about to encounter.
New Year's Day: Mrs. Mu lay in bed and didn't get up.
The second day of the Lunar New Year: Mrs. Mu was lying in bed and couldn't get up.
The third day of the Lunar New Year: Master Mu, Master Mu is not lying on the bed, but went to soak in the hot spring.
Cui Han and Yan Xunli finally caught up with him for a day, but Zhu Jingshou let his elder Nun go to visit.
"I was scared to death at that time." Cui Han patted his chest.
Yan Xunli couldn't help laughing and said, "Cui Han also asked me if I could rob the prison."
He tugged at the face of the person wrapped in a snowball beside him.
"You wish that your husband could not enter the prison fast enough."
Cui Han laughed.
"Isn't that why you are worried about Master Mu..."
Mu Qingtian was resentful.
Why does his New Year's schedule only have stir-fries, and he has to eat Cui Han's dog food! !
-
After the new year, when Zhu Youtang opened the dynasty, Li Guang first proposed to build Yuxiu Pavilion.
Unsurprisingly, few important officials in the court supported him, especially Ma Wensheng and Ye Qi, who spoke so fiercely that they almost nailed Li Guang to a pillar to scold him.
It was the first time for Li Guang to encounter such a big resistance, and tried to clear up the relationship everywhere, but he repeatedly hit the wall.
Without Mu Qingtian's help, Yuxiu Pavilion would never have been built.
At this time, the imperial envoy who went to Taicang Prefecture to investigate the shipping incident returned to the court.
Li Guang made many inquiries and obtained all the case files and evidence before the imperial envoy reported it to the emperor.
"Take this jade pendant and invite Master Mu to come." He smiled darkly.
The moment Mu Qingtian saw the jade pendant, his expression changed.
"What happened?" Zhu Jingshou reached out to support his back.
"This is father's jade pendant." Mu Qingtian held the jade pendant tightly, turning his head away from the blood on the rope.
Zhu Jingshou pushed his hand away, picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully.
The eunuch who sent the message was arrogant, with a strange air of yin and yang.
"Master Mu still doesn't know our lord's temper?"
It was precisely because Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou knew each other well that the reaction was so great.
The jade pendant is probably real, the question is how did Li Guang get this jade pendant?
"lead the way."
"Wait." Zhu Jingshou called to stop Mu Qingtian.
He went out alone, and when he came back, he held a rope in his hand.
Seeing the stranger in the room, Handsome immediately bared his fangs, and let out a low "woo hoo" sound, as if he would pounce on the eunuch and tear him apart in the next moment.
"Ah!" It was said that the eunuch's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
"Go handsome."
Zhu Jingshou handed the rope to Mu Qingtian.
The two looked at each other and smiled, with the same sly expressions.
That day, many people said that they saw a mighty gray wolf on the street.Those who knew Mu Qingtian were even more surprised.
Zhu Youtang had heard earlier that his younger brother's house raised a wolf, which was caught from the wild and kept by his side since he was a child.
He gained his rights at the expense of his liberty.Being imprisoned in the palace, my heart is also longing for novel things outside.
Mu Qingtian ostentatiously brought the wolf into the palace, and was lured to the Garden of Beasts by the trembling palace servants.
Handsome is a typical bullying man, he howls vigorously at the peacock on the sycamore tree, and is as quiet as a puppy when facing the mighty lion in the garden of beasts.
Mu Qingtian: ... Cub, Dad is very disappointed in you.
Mu Yingjun: Whoa, whoa! (It's really scary!)
The lion showed a supernatural interest in the handsome, jumping up and down in the cage, roaring loudly.
Mu Qingtian was terrified, and very spinelessly tied his eldest son in place and ran away.
Not long after, Zhu Youtang arrived.
He couldn't wait to see Mu Qingtian's wolf.
I heard from my younger brother that the wolves in Mobei are cunning and vicious. They will come in groups when people are asleep and bite off people's necks.
As a result, when he got to the lion cage, he saw a "bundle" of gray blankets.
Mu Yingjun smelled the familiar scent of his master, and let out a feeble "owwow" to express his dissatisfaction.
But the lion, which was originally locked in a cage, is now nestled next to Mu Yingjun, sleeping with its eyes closed.
Golden Lion: Are you moved?I will accompany you.
Mu Yingjun: Don't dare to move, don't dare to move.
Maybe it was because of the blood relationship, when Zhu Youtang approached Mu Yingjun, it didn't resist or bared its fangs, it obediently let Zhu Youtang touch it, and even ate jerky from his hand.
Zhu Youtang: This is not the same as the wolf I know, a little disappointed.
Handsome is suffering in his heart, but handsome doesn't say anything, handsome is just a tool wolf.
Zhu Youtang didn't have enough fun, and said: "It seems that Chasing Sun likes handsome, why don't you let him run around here."
"Chasing the sun" is the name of the golden lion.
The Garden of Beasts in the imperial palace has raised many rare beasts, some were brought back by Zheng He, the "eunuch of three guarantees", some were brought as tribute from foreign countries, and the rest were sent by hunting from various places.
In order to raise these beasts, Zhu Youtang specially ordered to open up the original Hundred Beasts Garden and build a new pasture for chasing the sun and hunting.
Mu Qingtian pinched the fat on the handsome stomach, and nodded.
Gaining weight during the Chinese New Year, and gaining too much handsomeness, not at all majestic.Look at people chasing the sun, full of tendons.
Zhu Youtang stayed in the Hundred Beasts Garden to tease Yingjun. After Mu Qingtian left, he walked around for a while and went to Li Guang's room.
-
Mu Qingtian held on to the confession in his hand, raised his head and cursed.
"You're a trick of torture!!"
Li Guang was very happy to see him like this, and let out a bad breath.
"Master Mu is confused. From the beginning to the end, the case was handled by imperial envoys. What does it have to do with me?"
With witnesses and evidence, Mu Qingtian has no idea where his parents are being held now, nor can he collude with the confession to overturn the case.
Wait any longer, until the imperial envoy finishes sorting out the case file and submits it to the emperor, it will be too late.
"What request do you have?" Mu Qingtian gritted his teeth.
"Persuade the emperor to build the Yuxiu Pavilion immediately."
"I was dismissed from office for half a year, how can I persuade you!"
Li Guang sneered.
"If you really want to accomplish something, there is always a way."
"Mu Yushi's life is in your hands."
"Of course, I am not forcing you."
"You can do it if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to."
Although Mu Yushi and Mrs. Mu are not Mu Qingtian's biological parents, Mu Qingtian has long regarded them as his relatives.
Whether it was the first three months of time travelling, living in Mu's Mansion, donating officials later, or the letters that must come every month... Mu Qingtian got love from Zhu Jingshou, and got what he never had from the Mu family and his wife. affection.
"I'll find a way."
Li Guang grinds his nails.
"Walk slowly without sending."
"Master Mu, hurry up, life is at stake."
Zhu Youtang didn't know what happened, but when he heard Mu Qingtian said that he would foster Yingjun in Baishouyuan for a few days, he was overjoyed.
Back at the palace, Mu Qingtian told Zhu Jingshou about his parents, and asked him if he could think of a way.
Zhu Jingshou looked solemn.
"Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, just told me that the north came to report, and the scouts found the movement of the little prince's troops."
In the past two years, the little prince settled down a bit, but his tribe continued to harass the northern border of Ming Dynasty, trying in vain to restore the Yuan Dynasty and restore the glory of his ancestor Genghis Khan.
At this time, the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion started, if the little prince invaded, the consequences would be disastrous.
Mu Qingtian turned around in a hurry, and even spoke with a crying tone.
"I can't watch them take the blame for me!"
That's right, the most important point is that Mu Yushi voluntarily charged Mu Qingtian with illicit shipping.
He was the one who took out the crystal cup, and it had nothing to do with Mu Yushi at all.
Zhu Jingshou was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he stretched out his arms to hug him, forcing him to look at him.
"It'll be fine, don't worry."
"I, how could I not worry..."
Now Mu Qingtian understood Zhu Jingshou's mood when he watched him being escorted away by Jin Yiwei.
Zhu Jingshou sent secret guards to find out where Mu Yushi and his wife were detained, but the imperial envoy in charge of investigating the case couldn't resist the temptation. He felt that the evidence was overwhelming and it was impossible to reverse the case, so he accepted Li Guang's bribes and intercepted them in various ways.
When Li Guang heard about it, he stood up and threw the wooden sign with Mu Qingtian's name into the fire.
In March, the imperial envoy returned to the court and revealed a major private business case that shocked the ruling and opposition parties.
Under pressure, Zhu Youtang took over Mu Yushi's case and handed it over to Dali Temple for further investigation.
Li Guang sent another letter to Prince Qing's Mansion.
The letter stated that if Mu Qingtian could reverse the situation in the court and start building the Yuxiu Pavilion, he would be able to protect Mu Yushi and his wife from death.
When Zhu Jingshou rushed home from the palace, he ran into the worried Cuizhu.
"My lord, go and persuade the young master."
"Young master cried all afternoon and didn't eat anything. If you continue to cry, your body will definitely not be able to take it!"
Zhu Jingshou took off the cloak and handed it to Cuizhu, and ran to his and Mu Qingtian's room.
Pushing open the door, Mu Qingtian was sitting on the ground, crying bitterly holding a ball of paper, and there were many empty wine bottles scattered around.
"Qingqing stop crying, stop crying, Chang'an is here." He squatted down distressedly, and carried Mu Qingtian back to the bed.
Before the righteousness and family love, Mu Qingtian had to sacrifice one.
He had made a decision long ago, that's why he burst into tears, and that's why he couldn't bear the torment in his heart.
Zhu Jingshou's voice was very soft and soft, gradually soothing Mu Qingtian's heart.
-
The next morning, Mu Qingtian woke up first.
He stared at the beam in a daze, tears running down the corner of his eyes.
Zhu Jingshou keenly caught the sobbing sound around him, opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to press Mu Qingtian's head into his arms.
"Chang'an, I can't watch them die, I can't watch them suffer."
Zhu Jingshou closed his eyes in pain.
In the same way, he can't make fun of the emperor's brother's country, and he can't take Daming's people as a bet for the Bomei people to laugh.
"I'm going to stay with them in jail."
"Calm down, there is still a way." Zhu Jingshou said in a panic.
Mu Qingtian leaned on Zhu Jingshou's strong chest, and whispered "Yes".
-
Zhu Youtang sentenced the Mu family and his wife to execution in April for the crime of privately engaging in shipping and donating officials.Because Mu Qingtian made great contributions to repairing the broken bridge, he was not allowed to sit in a row.
In April, before the execution, Mu Qingtian was specially allowed to visit the prison.
Mu Yushi was not treated like Mu Qingtian in the prison. After a few months, he was so thin that his face was covered with stains, his lips were split several times, and his beard grew to the front of his neck, exuding a foul smell.
When he saw Mu Qingtian, there was light in his eyes.
"Qing'er...Master Mu."
Mu Qingtian couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, lifted his robe and knelt down, knocking his head heavily several times.
"Boy, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."
Mu Yushi and Mrs. Mu stared wide-eyed, supported each other to stand up, and said in a trembling voice.
"Stop kneeling, stop kneeling, it's all dad's fault, it's dad's vanity."
If he didn't donate to Mu Qingtian, he wouldn't be in this situation.
Fortunately, fortunately, Mu Qingtian was not implicated.
Mu Qingtian walked out of the jailer with Zhu Jingshou half-embracing him.
"Chang'an, kiss me."
Regardless of others, Zhu Jingshou gently held Mu Qingtian's lips.
Coincidentally, this scene was seen by the queen mother in micro clothes again.
"The empress dowager! Call the imperial doctor!"
Zhu Jingshou turned around in astonishment, only to see the Empress Dowager Zhou surrounded by everyone, angrily pointing in the direction of him and Mu Qingtian.
"Put Mu Qingtian in prison for Aijia!!!"
Zhu Jingshou stood where he was, and let the Dongchang eunuch and Jin Yiwei step forward to take Mu Qingtian away from him.
He just felt cold all over his body, and the blood seemed to be stagnant in his blood vessels, unable to flow anymore.
King Qing grounded his feet, Mu Qing was ordered to go to prison, and the direction of the wind in the court seemed to change overnight.
King Qing is fond of Longyang, and even had an affair with Mu Qingtian, the case envoy of the Ministry of Industry. This incident completely overwhelmed the case of the Mu family and his wife.
At the same time, the queen gave birth, and the eldest princess was successfully born, and the whole world celebrated together.The emperor pardoned the whole world, and ordered Shuntian Mansion not to see blood within three months.
The execution time was postponed, and Mu Qingtian was imprisoned in the cell opposite Mu Yushi, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
The queen mother was furious, and directly pointed at a princess of Yingtian Mansion as Zhu Jingshou's official concubine.
King Qing resisted the decree, refused to accept it, closed the door of the mansion, and mobilized his own soldiers to guard it.
"He wants to rebel!" The Empress Dowager Zhou jumped up and broke off the nail of her index finger.
In the same month, the little prince's army suddenly appeared in Chaohe Prefecture. Like ghosts and demons, they drove straight in like a broken bamboo. In less than a month, they even invaded Datong.
The government and the public were shocked, and Zhu Youtang sent Zhenyuan General Gu Fan to retreat from the enemy, but he still did not stop the little prince from attacking.
The ministers asked the queen mother to lift the confinement of King Qing, and King Qing led the troops to Datong.
In May, King Qing resisted the decree.
In June, Liu Daxia, the minister of the Ministry of War, took over the task of transporting grain and grass to Datong, and brought three thousand elites to support Datong.
Empress Dowager Zhou turned gray all night and summoned Zhu Youtang for a secret talk.
At dawn, Zhu Youtang finally came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and fainted on the stone steps.
Zhu Jingshou waited until the queen mother retreated, put on his armor, and went to Renshou Palace with his sword.
When the Queen Mother saw the sword hanging on his waist, her blood surged again.
"Go up to the hall with a sword, do you want to kill Aijia!!"
Zhu Jingshou said indifferently: "I came here on orders."
The Empress Dowager Zhou was tired, and she realized that she had lived her whole life without grasping anything.
"The Ai family agreed to let the Mu family live."
"The empress dowager is merciful."
Zhu Jingshou turned around and left.
"Don't you have anything to say to Aijia!!" Queen Mother Zhou roared heart-piercingly.
Those who had already reached the gate of the hall stopped.
The Empress Dowager Zhou watched the vermilion door slowly close in front of her, with what Zhu Jingshou said just now ringing in her ears.
"The world belongs to the emperor's brother."
Her hands are stretched too far.
Zhu Jingshou didn't go to see Mu Qingtian for the last time, and directly sent troops to Datong.
In July, the governor Yang Yushuai Beijing Yingjun, prepared Yongping.
The little prince was unstoppable, and Qing Wang Zhu Jingshou disappeared for some reason, and his life and death were uncertain.
When Mu Qingtian heard the news in prison, he broke out in cold sweat instantly.
"System, system!"
【exist. 】
"What happened outside?"
The jailers have been in a hurry these days, and they no longer guard the prisoners in the prison.The other prisoners were also groggy, and the Mu family couple leaned against each other and fell asleep soundly. No one paid attention to Mu Qingtian who was talking to himself.
"Da Ming and the little prince are at war."
Mu Qingtian didn't understand this historical material at all, so he quickly called up the system mall, spent a thousand points to buy "25 Histories", found Ming History from it, and located Emperor Hongzhi's biography, looking for what he wanted to know.
"Chi Zhongrong's uprising?" Mu Qingtian frowned, and turned a few pages back.
He found that the records about Li Guang in the 11th year of Hongzhi were deliberately blurred.
"System, do I not have permission to know the ending of the relevant characters?"
【Yes. 】
Mu Qingtian flipped back again, and sure enough, on the page in the 18th year of Hongzhi, the record about Zhu Youtang was also blurred.
However, isn't this telling him in a disguised form that major events happened in Hongzhi's 11th and 18th years?
"system……"
[Cough, system maintenance. 】
Anyway, now he knew two very important things.
Zhu Jingshou is likely to be fighting the little prince, and the peasant uprising led by Chi Zhongrong also broke out at this time.
So, at that time in Wutou, it was Chi Zhongrong who assisted the county magistrate of Wutou? !
Mu Qingtian's heart suddenly lifted.
Chi Zhongrong hated the government, and it is very likely that he would take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Zhu Jingshou.
【King Qing was besieged by Chi Zhongrong's uprising army in the mountains and swamps outside Datong Mansion. 】
"What?!" Mu Qingtian didn't suppress his voice.
[Cough, system maintenance. 】
Mu Qingtian didn't have time to think about the meaning of the system's words, and exchanged the remaining points for all the medicines that could be exchanged in the mall.
"On credit."
[Would you like to buy blood recovery agent on 'credit'? 】
"Yes, yes, hurry up and credit again."
[Would you like to buy Wannian Ganoderma lucidum on credit? 】
"Yes."
He opened the warehouse, and selected the second regular task reward "Concealment Potion".
[Do you want to use the item 'Concealment Potion'? 】
"Yes."
[Used successfully, the concealment time limit is two hours. "]
Mu Yushi woke up in a daze when he heard the voice, and was horrified to find that the door of the opposite cell was wide open, and the people inside had disappeared.
He just wanted to call someone, but after a second thought, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep, pretending nothing happened.
Mu Qingtian ran all the way to the Hundred Beasts Garden and dragged Mu Yingjun away.
Mu Qingtian was still playing with Zhui Ri, when he suddenly smelled Mu Qingtian, he turned around excitedly, but he didn't see him.
"Ow, ooh."
Although it couldn't see its master, it obediently followed the scent and ran out of the garden of beasts.
"Yeah!!! The wolf has come out!!"
"Jinyiwei!"
Mu Qingtian led Mu Yingjun back to the palace, and found the horse he rode most often.
BMW was also very puzzled, he was like a handsome man, he smelled the smell, but there was no one there.
It lives with Mu Yingjun, so it is not afraid of wolves.
Mu Qingtian picked up Mu Yingjun and threw him on the horse, then got on the horse and rushed out of the palace.
"The horse has run away! Catch it!"
Later, many people described today's spectacle as "gods descending to earth", and it was the star of Wuqu who was protecting King Qing.
-
Outside Datong City, Zhu Jingshou's upper body was tied with a white cloth on half of his chest.
"Has the scout returned?"
"I'm back." The person next to him took off his helmet, and it turned out to be Yan Xunli!
"Datong has fallen, there is an inner ghost, Gu Fan has retreated to the next city."
Half a month ago, Zhu Jingshou led his army to Datong. After entering the city, he was ambushed at the Nine Dragon Wall, passed through the Taiping Building, withdrew from the city of Datong through the East Gate, crossed the Yuhe River and hid in the forest.
It's a pity that Chi Zhongrong had already guessed their movements, and set up a poisonous trap in the forest, just waiting for Zhu Jingshou to enter the urn.
"Who is the leader of the rebel army?"
Yan Xunli wiped the mud off his face and said, "I don't know."
"But judging by his moves, he doesn't look like a trained soldier."
Rather, like the bandits he commanded in the past.
"Explore again."
His team first had a diplomatic war with the little prince in Datong City, and had already lost some soldiers.Now trapped in the mountains for half a month, morale is low.
I knew I should say goodbye to Qingqing.Zhu Jingshou smiled wryly.
He must be safe now, waiting for him to go back in the palace.
For the sake of Qingqing and the people of Shuntian Mansion, he had to keep the little prince out of Yongping.
In the middle of the night, soldiers lay together in twos and threes.
Today is Zhu Jingshou and Yan Xunli's vigil.
"Do you regret it?" Zhu Jingshou asked abruptly.
Yan Xunli sneered.
"Who took the paper and forced me to sign it?"
A few years ago, Zhu Jingshou and Yan Xunli had an unpleasant quarrel.
At that time, Zhu Jingshou gave Yan Xunli a choice.
"If there is a war in the future, you must follow me to the battlefield."
Of course Yan Xunli would not agree to such an overbearing request.
After going through so much, he has decided to guard Cui Han'an and live a normal life for the rest of his life in peace, without getting involved in the fights and killings.
"Do you think this king is asking you to choose?"
"To sign or not to sign, you are a smart man."
"Signed, this is a stable life."
Yan Xunli was supposed to treat crimes, so as long as Zhu Jingshou thought about it, the bandits in Chongming County could be revealed at any time.
But going to the battlefield is not a joke, let alone a child's play house.The sword has no shadow, Yan Xunli is afraid that he will die in the sand
