I am the county magistrate in Daming

Chapter 95 Li Guang's Ending

Mu Qingtian stepped forward cautiously and respectfully, and obediently stood beside Zhu Jingshou, listening to him talking to the Queen Mother Zhou.

Unexpectedly, after going out for a long time, the little princess was born.

Mu Qingtian glanced at the infant child curiously, and frowned.

The complexion of ordinary children should be rosy, full of collagen, tender and tender, and can be broken by blowing bombs.

But the child in the Empress Dowager Zhou's arms had a strange gray skin, and the eyes were obviously black and blue, and the eye sockets were even sunken.

Zhu Jingshou also noticed something strange about his niece.

He raised his hand to tease her casually, and when he passed under his nose, he found that her breath was short and short.

"Sun'er went back to the city from the official road, and found that there were many people pushing carts on the side of the road, and the carts were piled with dirt and rocks."

Zhu Jingshou saw that the Queen Mother looked the same, so he didn't take the initiative to speak, but asked another question.

"The emperor built the Yuxiu Pavilion, and he dug a lot of earth and rocks." The Queen Mother Zhou said.

The faces of the two people in the hall changed instantly.

The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and said, "The Ai family knows that you have always disagreed with the construction of the Yuxiu Pavilion."

"Grandson doesn't mean that, it's just that the frontier has been unstable recently, and the war will consume a lot of money." Zhu Jingshou said.

Before they left, they rubbed Li Guang's spirit hard, and Mu Qingtian also got a promise during the secret conversation with Zhu Youtang that Yuxiu Pavilion would not be built in the short term...

"The eldest daughter of the emperor has been ill for a long time, and the heavenly scriptures say that it is the influence of the dragon spirit."

"Building the Yuxiu Pavilion is really a helpless move."

Zhu Youtang believed that Yu Xiuting could save his life and also restore the newly born eldest princess.The queen mother didn't believe Li Guang, but she was still willing to give it a try for her grandson.

Mu Qingtian's "greed" of 20 taels of silver into the treasury became Zhu Youtang's confidence in building the pavilion.If he didn't have the 20 taels, he would have hesitated a little bit, after all, his younger brother was at war with the little prince and needed silver taels to buy food, grass and weapons.

Yuxiu Pavilion has already broken ground, and there is no talk of stopping it.

After coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou divided into two groups, one went to Li Guang's residence, and the other went to the Hall of Martial Arts.

"My lord, Mu Qingtian asks to see you." The little eunuch hurried in and said.

"A rare visitor." Li Guang polished his nails, "Unfortunately, I am in a good mood today."

"Don't want to see annoying flies."

The little eunuch responded in a low voice, walked to the door and said to Mu Qingtian arrogantly: "My lord said, there are no flies."

Mu Qingtian clenched his fists, unable to bear the anger in his heart, and hit the little eunuch.

"Oh!"

The little eunuch looked at Mu Qingtian in horror, his fist was less than a finger away from his face, and he could even feel the wind of the fist whistling past his ears.

"Big, bold!"

"How dare you contradict me!! Do you know who I am?"

Mu Qingtian felt better, and retracted his hand to shake off the debris.

"This official really doesn't know."

"I'm Lord Li's adopted son!" The little eunuch's voice was high-pitched and thin, "Come here, come here, take Mu Qingtian down for me!"

Many eunuchs immediately ran out from other rooms, surrounding Mu Qingtian.

"What about after you take it down?" Mu Qingtian looked at these people with disgust, and kicked one of them away.

Having stayed with Zhu Jingshou for a long time, what he has learned is not one and a half tricks.

"Of course it is sent to Dongchang!"

"Okay." Mu Qingtian waved his hand impatiently, "Where is Dongchang, lead the way."

Luo Xiang, the owner of the factory, is not here today, and Yang Peng will temporarily take over all the affairs.

As eunuchs, Luo Xiang and Yang Peng would naturally not object to Li Guang as long as he did not interfere in the affairs of Dongchang.

However, Zhu Youtang was very strict with eunuchs and eunuchs, so they did not dare to openly support Li Guang or do things for him.After all, they are the emperor's subordinates and obey the emperor's orders.In order to keep his official position and life, Yu dared not do it.

Yang Peng knew the little eunuch, and he also knew Mu Qingtian.

"My lord Yang, this man is openly committing murder in the palace, and his heart can be punished!" The little eunuch stood up and said happily, with the word "Li Guang" in his words, and kept putting pressure on Yang Peng. Totally no respect.

Mu Qingtian folded her arms, and she didn't want to watch the free monkey show for nothing.

After the little eunuch finished speaking, Yang Peng spoke quietly.

"Since it's a murder, Jin Yiwei should handle it. Why come to my east factory?"

Why come to Dongchang?Mu Qingtian couldn't help laughing out loud.

Because they can't afford Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei Commander Mou Bin has a good relationship with Zhu Jingshou, and he will definitely not turn to Li Guang.Besides, the little eunuch's statement of "inside the palace" is simply nonsense, even if it is reported to Jin Yiwei, they will ignore him at all.

"How dare you laugh at Mr. Changgong!" The little eunuch complained first.

Mu Qingtian looked at Yang Peng with a smile on his face.They all saw disdain in each other's eyes.

"Man, I have detained it, and I will ask the emperor to make a decision later." Yang Peng said, "Take your people back."

The little eunuch suddenly panicked.

"This, such a trivial matter, how can it disturb the emperor's body."

"It's better for you to convict him and leave it to me to deal with it, and you don't have to worry about it."

Mu Qingtian said seriously: "How could such a big matter as 'murder in the palace' be concealed and not reported."

"Could it be that you want to frame Master Yang?"

"you!!"

Yang Peng had long thought that the little eunuch was not pleasing to the eye, and he used Li Guang's name to show off his power everywhere.

Just take this opportunity to treat him well.

"Stop arguing, thank you Eunuch Li for bringing the prisoner here."

The little eunuch left unwillingly, and did not dare to tell Li Guang when he returned, he only hoped that the emperor would not care about such trivial matters.

"Master Mu, please." Yang Peng bowed slightly.

"Master Yang, please."

Yang Peng had heard that Mu Qingtian was highly valued by the emperor, so it was impossible for him to really offend Mu Qingtian for the sake of Li Guang's adopted son.

"I wonder if Lord Yang can do me a favor?"

"Master Mu, but it's okay to say."

Mu Qingtian snickered and said a few words to Yang Peng quietly.Yang Peng frowned first, and then asked: "Your Excellency, do you really want to do this?"

"Eunuch Li was picking on this matter, you can leave directly."

"The emperor is the son of heaven, and his purpose is a major event." Mu Qingtian said, "If the emperor can't see it, it doesn't mean he acquiesces."

"A little adopted son dares to run rampant in the palace, Mr. Yang should know what the emperor doesn't want to see."

Yang Peng thought for a moment, looked at Mu Qingtian gratefully, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Mu, for your guidance."

-

Zhu Jingshou was talking to Zhu Youtang about the situation at the northern border.

The chief eunuch stopped the person sent by Dongchang outside the door. After asking clearly, he thought twice and raised his hand to knock on the door of the hall.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youtang looked disgusted.

"Report to the emperor, someone committed a crime."

"What?!" Zhu Jingshou quickly stood up, put his hands on his waist, and felt empty.

Zhu Youtang had mixed feelings in his heart, and fixedly looked at his younger brother who subconsciously stood in front of him.

"Jin Yiwei, why haven't you come to escort him?" Zhu Jingshou said.

"Go back to the prince, the prisoner has been caught by Dongchang."

This is strange, Dongchang is only responsible for the daily affairs of the palace, why is it still doing the job of catching the murderer?

Zhu Jingshou had an intuition that something was wrong, and asked, "Who is the prisoner?"

"Mu Qingtian, the case in charge of the Ministry of Industry."

After listening, Zhu Youtang patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and slowly walked down the steps.

"Dongchang is so courageous, he dared to go beyond Jin Yiwei and arrest the imperial court official without authorization!"

The head eunuch hurriedly knelt down.

"The emperor calm down, the man was caught by Mr. Li and sent to Dongchang."

Zhu Jingshou was in a hurry, he was afraid that Mu Qingtian would be wronged in the palace, so he raised his foot and wanted to rush outside.

"Come back!" Zhu Youtang said bitterly.

"Brother Huang! Qing... Lord Mu, he can't do such a thing!"

Zhu Youtang's hands were itchy, and he wanted to slap his younger brother who had a wife and forgotten his brother.

Does he look like someone who would suspect a sister-in-law? !

"Go to the East Factory."

"Yes." The chief eunuch withdrew from the Hall of Martial Arts and ordered the guard of honor to take their place.

In the hall, Zhu Youtang sighed softly and said to Zhu Jingshou.

"I will think about it. If Li Guang makes another mistake, I will not keep him."

Hearing that the emperor and King Qing had gone to Dongchang, the little eunuch shook his hands in fright and knocked over the teapot.

He came back to his senses and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.

"Get out..."

Before Li Guang finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

"King Qing is here!"

Li Guang jumped up from the couch, quickly changed his clothes, and went out to meet the emperor.

"My Majesty Wanan."

The little eunuch also came out to greet him, and almost passed out when he saw Mu Qingtian behind Zhu Jingshou.

"Search."

Zhu Youtang didn't let Li Guang get up, and walked directly past him to the center of the courtyard.The accompanying eunuch moved out the dragon chair and served tea silently.

"Dig three feet for me, I must find the stolen goods today!"

Not long after, the eunuch who entered the house to search brought out several things.

"Your Majesty, this vase is not a palace item."

Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes.

"Which room did you find it?"

"Back to the emperor, these were all found from Eunuch Li's house."

When "Eunuch Li" was mentioned, everyone's eyes shifted to Li Guang who was kneeling on the ground.

"The emperor was wronged!" Li Guang broke into a cold sweat, "I have never seen these things before."

The eunuch who searched also found that he had made a mistake in his statement, so he changed his words and said, "It's another eunuch Li."

"Take it." Zhu Youtang said.

The little eunuch was erected and struggled in fear: "Wrong, wrong, my surname is not Li, but my surname is Kong!"

"Your Majesty, he's lying." Mu Qingtian stood up and cupped his hands and said, "When he was in Dongchang, he said that his surname was Li, and that he was Li's adopted son."

Only now did Li Guang understand that it was Mu Qingtian who was playing tricks again.

"Your Majesty forgive me, this person is indeed the foster son I accepted a few days ago."

Mu Qingtian didn't use "slander" as a fuss, but speculated from Li Guang's behavior that this little eunuch must have taken a lot of bribes in the name of his adoptive father.

as predicted.

Now that the stolen goods have been obtained together, Li Guang will definitely be implicated as well.

"The upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, Li Guang, it's in vain that I hold you in high esteem. You have said all day that you are willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for me, is this your reward!!"

Li Guang prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to get up at all.

"The minister knows the crime, but the minister has no eyes. But what the eunuch Li did, the minister does not know a single thing, Your Majesty! Please look into it clearly!"

"Enough!" Zhu Youtang looked at the Wenwan babies who were still being moved out of the house continuously, and became dizzy with anger.

"Brother Li Guang, from now on, no one is allowed to meet."

Li Guang raised his head in fear, and stammered, "Your Majesty, Yu Xiuting has not yet..."

"The construction of Yuxiu Pavilion will be supervised by Mu Qingtian, the envoy in charge of the six departments!"

"Eunuch Li accepted bribes, framed the court officials, and was executed with a stick."

After speaking, Zhu Youtang left without even looking at Li Guang.

The little eunuch cried and peed all over his pants.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!"

Mu Qingtian didn't expect that he would be promoted inexplicably just to avoid Li Guang.

The envoy of the Ministry of Industry is Zhu Youtang's "tailor-made" fifth-rank official for him, while the envoy of the Sixth Ministry is the third-rank official, the same rank as the minister, and is responsible for supervising the officials of the six ministries.

After hearing the news, Ye Qi, Minister of the Household Department, immediately sent someone to the palace to hand over the account books used for the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion to Mu Qingtian.

Mu Qingtian was not in a hurry to check the accounts, but first took Liu Duan to conduct an on-site investigation outside the city.

When Liu Duan heard that he could go out, he followed Mu Qingtian without saying a word.

Gu Fan chased him out from the mansion, and gave Liu a lot of money.

"Don't wrong yourself when you're hungry, eat whatever you want, and report your father's name if you don't have enough money."

Mu Qingtian smiled and pointed to himself.

"Then can this official's account also be counted on General Gu's head?"

Gu Fan glanced at Zhu Jingshou whose face was already darkened, and said, "Your Majesty's blame should be on the prince's head."

Cut ('~`;)

That's not my own money.

On the way, Mu Qingtian couldn't stay idle, and forced Liu Duan to chat.

"You are not the most clingy Mr. Liu, why are you willing to come out with me?"

Liu Duan wanted to cry but had no tears.

It really made Yan Xunli right. His parents were love, and he was an accident.

He's so silly, really.

He only knew that Gu Fan was injured by his father and lost an arm, and his father came to the house for medical treatment and care to repay his kindness; he didn't know that Gu Fan had no intention of letting his father leave again.

"Gu Fan can always find various reasons not to let his father leave the house."

Mu Qingtian was puzzled.

"According to Mr. Liu's ability, don't you come and leave whenever you want?"

Liu Duan was even more sad.

Here is the problem - Gu Fan won't let his father go, and his father has no intention of leaving either! !

Every morning he could see his father in Gu Fan's room, he was used to it, really.

Mu Qingtian silently shut up and turned her head in embarrassment.

A few days ago, Duoduo thought he and Zhu Jingshou were too tired, so he took He Quezhu back to live in Mu's residence.

In General Zhenyuan's mansion, after Gu Fan sent Liu Duan away, he turned his head and went to Liu Guizhou's room.

"Xiaozhou, my arm hurts again."

"Get out."

"Really, this time it really hurts."

"I was wrong, next time I will definitely listen to you and let you be on top." Gu Fan stood at the door with drooping eyes.

Liu Guizhou swore that if he believed Gu Fan's nonsense again, Liu Jue would not be named Liu! !

"Get in!" he said through gritted teeth.

The name Gu Yuanying is very nice.jpg

The moment Gu Fan blocked the knife for him, Liu Guizhou forgave Gu Fan.A blind man with one arm is a perfect match.

But beyond that, he has a bigger goal.

Before living in the general's mansion, he was always the one below, because he neither knew martial arts nor was he as strong as Gu Fan.

Now that Gu Fan has lost his arm, the horn of counterattack has sounded, and the time has come!

Of course, the ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is always skinny.A few days after living in the General's Mansion again, Liu Guizhou got Gu Fan drunk and prepared to take advantage of the fire to rob him.

The fire was quite hot, and he was completely robbed by Gu Fan.

Afterwards, Gu Fan knelt on the bed and apologized, Liu Guizhou couldn't be angry, after all, he was the one who did it first.

Later, Gu Fan came back and changed his tricks every day to "pretend to be pitiful".

No wonder Liu Duan was so disgusted by him that he couldn't stay any longer.

"Oh yes, my father asked me to ask you, where did you get the pills you gave my father that day?"

Mu Qingtian blinked and said, "It's just the most common licorice pill."

"Really?" Liu Duan doubted, "but my father said that my father was already out of breath at that time, and suddenly came back to life after taking the pill."

Mu Qingtian suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guizhou could still remember what happened in that situation.

"Mr. Liu made a mistake."

"is it?"

"It must be." Mu Qingtian said with disgust, "Where in the world is there any medicine to bring the dead back to life, just dreaming."

"Your father was too nervous at the time, and I remembered wrongly."

"Oh……"

Arriving at Longmai Longsui Mountain outside the city, Liu Duan just looked at it from a distance before he got close, and concluded that there was something wrong with the blueprint.

"The foundation is too shallow and the bottom is too narrow."

The dragon's veins trembled again and again, and the Yuxiu Pavilion would collapse after only a few shakes.

After approaching, Mu Qingtian called an official from the Ministry of Industry and asked him where the drawings came from.

"Go back to your lord, go back to your lord, I don't know who drew the blueprint."

Zhu Youtang entrusted Li Guang with all the tasks of constructing Yuxiu Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Li Guang was so bold that he bypassed the survey of the Ministry of Industry and started construction directly with his own blueprints.

"Stop it all, stop it all, don't build any more!"

Continue to work according to the current blueprint, Mu Qingtian is afraid of a landslide accident, so he hastened to stop.

"Sir, this..."

"Didn't you hear what the envoy said?" Zhu Jingshou sternly asked beside him.

"Yes, yes, the officer will let them stop working now."

After Liu Duan got the blueprint, he was so angry that he tore the paper to pieces.

"Don't you guys notice something's wrong!" Mu Qingtian questioned.

Ministry of Industry officials are very embarrassed.

They knew that there were problems with the drawings, and they might not even be able to build the building.

"Master Shang Shu mentioned it, saying that there is a problem with the blueprint."

Although Xu Guan's political achievements are mediocre, he has a conscience and a bottom line, and he is unwilling to make fun of the lives of the people and his subordinates.

However, his words were misinterpreted by Li Guang as preventing the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion. Zhu Youtang was furious and fined his salary directly.Although he was not demoted, all the ministers in the court knew that Xu Guan was useless.

Ma Jie ordered his subordinates to beat others to death last year, and was sentenced to hang for the crime.Zhu Youtang issued an edict for forgiveness, Ma Wensheng took the blame and resigned, but Zhu Youtang did not agree.

Due to the favorable time and place, no one can interfere with Yu Xiuting's affairs.

Mu Qingtian accidentally planted a willow, and became the one who turned the tide.

"Is the material purchased by the Ministry of Industry?" Mu Qingtian walked up to Long Live Mountain and carefully inspected the quality of wood and stone.

"In the words of adults, no."

Mu Qingtian frowned.

"What is the Ministry of Industry responsible for?"

"The lower official and another adult are in charge of supervising the process, and there are officials in charge of delivery."

Li Guang emptied the entire Ministry of Industry, using them as foremen to manage corvee.

"There is a problem with the stone." Zhu Jingshou walked to a pile of unused materials and chopped off the first third with his sword.

Liu Duan walked over and said, "No way? I knocked it just now, it's solid."

Zhu Jingshou sneered.

"Now knock again."

Liu Duanqu raised his fingers to lightly tap the section of the stone.

"Dangdang."

There was a crisp sound, Liu Duan didn't even need to say it, everyone present could hear it, the inside was hollow.

"My lord, spare me!" The official of the Ministry of Industry's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

Although the stone materials were not prepared by them, none of the officials involved in the construction pointed out the problem, and even tried to hide it after Mu Qingtian came, which is an unforgivable crime.

Zhu Jingshou reported what they found in Yuxiuting to the palace, and asked his brother to send Jin Yiwei to investigate the case.

The suspicion in Zhu Youtang's heart is getting bigger and bigger.

Is it true that Li Guang built Yuxiu Pavilion just to make money as his younger brother said?

He agreed to Zhu Jingshou's request and handed over the case to Mou Bin.Soon, Jin Yiwei found out the source of the inferior stone.

This person, Mu Qingtian, looked a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he was actually a rich businessman who left his name in the "Gongde Temple".

The incident involved a wide range of issues. A quarter of the officials in the Ministry of Industry were fined and demoted, and all wealthy businessmen who provided inferior building materials were ransacked and beheaded at Caishikou.

Mu Qingtian just now took out the account book Ye Qi sent, and checked it bit by bit.

There was a big deficit in the accounts, and the gap between the budget and the actual use was as much as 10 taels of silver.Thinking about it, it all went into Li Guang's pocket.

Mu Qingtian did not immediately pursue Li Guang's guilt, because Zhu Youtang had not completely lost his trust in Li Guang, and if he accused Li Guang at this time, it might not be fatal.

Liu Duan returned to Zhenyuan General's Mansion to redraw the drawings, and the procurement task was handed over to the Ministry of Industry.

In June of the 11th year of Hongzhi, Yuxiu Pavilion was completed.In the same month, the eldest princess died.

Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Zhang couldn't bear the blow, and both fell ill.Zhu Youtang called Li Guang and questioned him why the Yuxiu Pavilion was built but the eldest princess was not cured.

Where does Li Guang have any heavenly scriptures, and he never predicted that the eldest princess would die so coincidentally.

"My Majesty's condolences, Rong, Rong Chen will go and check the Heavenly Book..."

He lowered his head, not realizing that Zhu Youtang's eyes looking at him had become cold.

-

Heartbroken, Empress Zhang hugged her dead daughter and refused to let go, calling her baby name softly and softly.

Zhu Youtang walked in, seeing this situation, his heart was even more sour.

"Zitong, you can't come back from death, let go."

The maid observed the words and expressions, and quickly stepped forward to take the swaddling baby in the queen's hand out of the palace.

"my daughter!!!!"

Empress Zhang screamed heart-piercingly, and passed out on Zhu Youtang's shoulder.

"Send to the Imperial Physician, quickly pass on to the Imperial Physician!"

Zhu Youtang seemed to wake up all of a sudden.

The death of his daughter and the cries of the queen intertwined in his mind, and what happened in the past is as vivid as a revolving lantern.

From the day Li Guang took advantage of the loophole left by his father and called him Chuanfengguan, his conspiracy began.

After Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou heard the news that the eldest princess had passed away, they were also very sorry.

"I'll go into the palace to see the emperor's brother and his sister-in-law." Zhu Jingshou still couldn't hold back, stood up and walked out.

"Don't go." Mu Qingtian stopped him, "Let them be quiet for a while."

He secretly felt that this matter would be the last straw that crushed Li Guang.

Li Guang was extremely anxious at this time, with several blisters on his mouth, he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

But Zhu Youtang won't give him any more time.

"Xuan Li Guang goes to the palace."

Li Guang knelt under the steps tremblingly, his ears were buzzing, and his official uniform was soaked with sweat.

"Does the book have any new instructions?" Zhu Youtang asked.

"Yes, yes!" Li Guang didn't expect that the emperor still believed in the heavenly scriptures, and was overjoyed.

"The minister is disrespectful."

He regained his composure and continued to pretend to be his "superior".

"Excuse me, say."

"It's out of water!!!"

Li Guang's body trembled, and he turned his head blankly to look at the source of the voice.

The chief eunuch hurried over, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, there is water in Qingning Palace."

Li Guang was expelled from the Hall of Martial Arts before he could tell the reason he made up.He waited in fear for the emperor to summon him again, but a few days passed and there was no news.

He boldly wrote a letter to say hello, but he didn't get a reply.

"Your Majesty, please send Fengguan Li Guang to see you."

"No..." Zhu Youtang changed his mind once the words reached his lips.

"Xuan."

"Propaganda Fengguan Li Guangjin Palace!"

"Your servant Li Guang, kowtow to the emperor."

"Ah."

Zhu Youtang didn't even raise his head, and he didn't know whether the "um" made Li Guang get up or let him continue to kneel.

Li Guang didn't dare to stand up, and then said tentatively: "Your Majesty, a new chapter has been published in the Heavenly Book."

"Say."

"The eldest princess died because the person who built the Yuxiu Pavilion was wrong and violated a taboo."

At such a time, Li Guang didn't forget to touch Mu Qingtian in the dark, trying to drag him into the water.

"However, the Yuxiu Pavilion has been completed, and the Golden Dragon resides in the Long Live Mountain, so the Emperor is safe."

Zhu Youtang raised his eyes.

"So, the eldest princess' death is still my fault?"

"Of course not!" Li Guang said in a panic.

He wanted to continue talking, expressing his sincerity, but Zhu Youtang didn't want to listen to him any more, and directly threw him out.

After dealing with the unimportant notes, Zhu Youtang put down his pen and said to the chief eunuch, "I'm going to the Queen Mother to prepare the sedan chair."

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Zhou was not as sad as Queen Zhang, but she was still sad.She didn't even see the crown prince Zhu Houzhao. Every day, she took the apron that hadn't been embroidered yet, and looked at it over and over again.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty begs to see you."

"Aijia has a headache, let the emperor go back."

The palace lady respectfully told Zhu Youtang that the queen mother was not in good spirits and she didn't want to give him the illness.

"The Queen Mother is my grandmother, so I have no reason to be afraid."

Zhu Youtang insisted on seeing the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother Zhou had no choice but to ask him to come in.

"Has everything been arranged for the sacrifice and burial?"

"Well, the imperial grandmother doesn't have to worry."

"That's good..." The Queen Mother Zhou wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "My poor child, I hope she will be reincarnated soon."

Zhu Youtang's complexion changed, and he said to the Queen Mother: "Li Guang went to the palace today and said that the eldest princess violated a taboo."

"Bold!!!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou stood up abruptly with a grim expression.

"What kind of thing is he? Dare to say that the grandson of the Ai family has committed a feud!!"

"Li Guang today, and Li Guang tomorrow, it will indeed be a disaster."

Zhu Youtang supported the Empress Dowager Zhou and asked her to sit down slowly.

"The imperial grandmother must not get angry and hurt her own body."

The Queen Mother's anger quickly spread throughout the palace, along with the phrase "Li Guang today".

In July of the 11th year of Hongzhi, it was said that Fengguan Li Guang committed suicide in fear of crime.

Everything returned to calm, but Zhu Youtang still felt very anxious.He has believed in it for ten years, and the "Book from Heaven" has already been engraved into his mind.

When he dreamed back at midnight, all he saw were heavenly scriptures.

Zhu Jingshou first noticed something was wrong with his brother, and only after asking about it did he find out that his brother hadn't fully come out yet, and was still thinking about "Book from Heaven".

Mu Qingtian flipped through the history books exchanged from the system, and found that everything about Li Guang had been revealed.

In the evening, Zhu Jingshou went back to the mansion, hugged Mu Qingtian, and didn't speak for a long time.

"what happened?"

"Do you think there are really heavenly books in this world?"

"Yes." Mu Qingtian nodded.

Zhu Jingshou raised his head in surprise.

He never asked about Mu Qingtian, including the pill that suddenly appeared that day and saved Gu Fan's life.

If his Qingqing has a heavenly book, then everything can be explained.

"The book of heaven is in the hands of the emperor."

"What?" Zhu Jingshou was full of surprise, clearly not believing it.

The heavenly book is in the hands of the emperor, so what is the emperor looking for all these years?

"The Heavenly Book can only be in the hands of successive emperors." Mu Qingtian affirmed.

They rule the world and write history.The Book of Heaven can never predict the future, it just records the present, whether it is a prosperous or a chaotic world.

"If he can get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and the future by getting the book from heaven, wouldn't he be able to become emperor easily?"

A word to wake up the dreamer.

With that comes worry.

"Qingqing, if Brother Huang is obsessed with the Heavenly Book, there will definitely be Wang Guang and Zhang Guang appearing in the future..." Zhu Jingshou said sullenly.

Mu Qingtian said: "Then let the emperor investigate."

He saw "history"—and the future.

Zhu Youtang obeyed his younger brother's suggestion and personally took people to Li Guang's residence to search for strange books.No matter whether he found it or couldn't find it, he could completely solve his knots.

The officials presented a booklet about Li Guang's acceptance of bribes. Zhu Youtang asked in surprise after opening it.

"How much food can be eaten, is the promise of rice."

The records in the booklet are all about catties of grain, and there are two types of rice, white rice and yellow rice, all of which exceed a thousand stones.

The attendants on the left and right whispered: "Your Majesty, this is a code word."

White rice represents silver, while yellow rice represents gold.

The bribes Li Guang has accepted in these years are even more than the money in the treasury! ! !

Zhu Youtang was furious, and he didn't want to find any more bibles. He just wanted to crush Li Guang to ashes, so that he would never be reborn forever.

In order to make up for the previous mistakes, Zhu Youtang, who has come to his senses, puts more emphasis on government affairs than before.

All the ministers were pleased, and offered advice and suggestions one after another, and the inside and outside of the overweight was clear, creating a prosperous world again.

-

Zhu Jingshou solved the serious problem in his heart, and became more and more lazy, hugging Mu Qingtian all day to play hooligans, and didn't even give Mu Qingtian time to go to the toilet.

"I still need it tomorrow morning, um, I'll see you..." Mu Qingtian's eyes were clouded with tears, and he couldn't even speak fully when Zhu Jing kept his head on top of him.

"Take a rest tomorrow."

Zhu Jingshou didn't intend to stop at all, but intensified.

Since Mu Qingtian was promoted to be the case envoy of the Six Departments, the number of people visiting and fawning on him in Mu's residence has increased several times.Mu Qingtian had no choice but to go back to Mu Mansion for a few days to meet those kind and loyal ministers.

Zhu Qingqing is not happy about not being respectful enough.

When he woke up the next morning, Mu Qingtian moved his wrist, as if something restrained him.

"Ow!"

Mu Yingjun lying on the ground felt the rope around his neck move, howled excitedly, and threw himself on Mu Qingtian.

"Huh!"

Mu Qingtian woke up startled.

Son, son, Dad's ribs were almost broken by you.

Zhu Jingshou pushed the door open and came in, and easily carried the handsome man off the bed.

"What does this mean?" Mu Qingtian raised his wrist and asked Zhu Jingshou.

I saw a small iron cuff hanging on his white and thin wrist, and a layer of rabbit fur was carefully wrapped around the iron cuff to prevent people inside from being cut.

The other end was tied around Mu Yingjun's neck.

Mu Qingtian was waiting for an explanation.

"Think about it, Qingqing, when was the last time you walked our son?"

"Three months ago?"

Zhu Jingshou shook his head.

"One year and seven months."

Mu Qingtian snorted with a guilty conscience.

"As a father, does Qingqing think she is competent?" Zhu Jingshou was aggressive.

"Well, it seems that I am not competent."

But he reacted quickly.

"how about you?"

Zhu Jingshou said very proudly: "Every morning, I will take Yingjun to the racecourse to hunt rabbits."

Gan, he forgot that Zhu Jingshou doesn't have to go to the morning court!

"So, Qingqing, let's go out with handsome today."

Mu Qingtian really wanted to refuse, but seeing the handsome looking look in his eyes, he couldn't say no.

"Come back soon~" Zhu Jingshou leaned on the door frame and waved to one person and one wolf.

Yesterday Mu Qingtian promised to be a guest at the Su University scholar's house, but he couldn't keep the appointment.

He looked down at Mu Yingjun, sighed, and said, "When you get to the Su residence, don't embarrass me."

"Ow."

The moment Master Su saw Mu Qingtian, he passed out immediately.

"Oh?" Handsome tilted his head.

Mu Qingtian patted his son's wolf head lovingly, and said, "It's not your fault, you didn't bark."

What a loving mother and loser.

It took a long time for Master Su to recover, and he still looked at Mu Qingtian with some trepidation.

"Boldly ask Lord Mu, who is this wolf?"

"Hobby." Mu Qingtian smiled.

"Haha." Maester Su laughed dryly, "My lord's hobbies are very, very...very unique."

Fortunately, Yingjun has always been very obedient, sleeping at Mu Qingtian's feet like a faithful patron saint.

University scholar Su prepared snacks for Mu Qingtian to enjoy, the two chatted very happily, wishing to form a year-end friendship.

"Master Su is the chief examiner of next year's exam?"

"Exactly." Madam Su stroked his beard with a smile.

"This time, the old man invited you to come here, just to ask if you are interested in being an examiner."

An official who used to be an examiner resigned from his post and returned to the field. Everyone discussed for a long time, but no suitable candidate was selected.

The official position of the examiner should not be too low, generally held by an official of the rank of a bachelor, a minister, or a minister or above.

So Grand Maester Su thought of Mu Qingtian who was in the limelight recently.The character and official position all meet the requirements, and most importantly, he is deeply trusted by the emperor, and there will be no incidents of fraud or the like.

Mu Qingtian

After thinking about it, he tactfully rejected the kindness of Maester Su.

Although he was very curious about the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, he didn't understand the Four Books and Five Classics and stereotyped essays. To be an examiner was not a student who had been studying hard for many years.

"The old man no longer insists."

Every house that Mu Qingtian went to next was a mess.

Mu Yingjun seemed to be having fun, keenly perceiving Mu Qingtian's emotions, baring his fangs from time to time.

It was supposed to be transferred for a day, but I didn't expect to solve it in half a day.

Mu Qingtian held Mu Yingjun's face and rubbed it vigorously.

"What a big boy, I will reward you with fresh meat tonight!"

Officials from the DPRK and China, as well as the dignitaries in Beijing and China, were afraid of the evil wolves around Mu Qingtian, so they paid much less visits.Mu Qingtian tasted the sweetness, so he led Yingjun out for a walk when he was free.

When the incident spread to the palace, Zhu Youtang looked at Zhezi dumbfounded.

-

In the spring of the 12th year of Hongzhi, people from all provinces poured into Shuntian Mansion, bringing a breath of calligraphy and ink.

Mu Qingtian was very curious, and would drag Zhu Jingshou to restaurants and inns every day if he had nothing to do, to experience the atmosphere of the imperial examination.

As long as he can be with Mu Qingtian, Zhu Jingshou has no objections.

"I really want to take part in the imperial examination." Sitting in the single room on the second floor, Mu Qingtian envied the talented scholars downstairs reciting poems.

I think he was also a person who took the college entrance examination back then, and the excitement and nervousness was a precious experience only once in life.It's just that the imperial examination is different from the college entrance examination, which is a bit like the civil service examination.

Zhu Jingshou laughed, and grabbed someone to feed him a sip of tea.

"Others hope not to be an official, but you are different."

Mu Qingtian rewarded the well-served "Mrs. Mu" with a sweet kiss.

"Master Mu must be different."

"Yes, this king's Qingqing is unique." Zhu Jingshou deepened the kiss with a lingering expression.

The two of them wandered the streets for a long time afterwards, especially Mu Qingtian, who never heard of it after walking around.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and Mu Qingtian became more courageous. He held Zhu Jingshou's hand and gnawed on some sesame seed cakes.

"Master, it's too cold outside, it's better to go inside to warm~"

Mu Qingtian leaned over to Zhu Jingshou's side cowardly, and said "No way, no way".

Zhu Jingshou put his arms around the shoulders of his concubine, and said viciously to the woman who was soliciting customers: "Get lost."

The two of them wandered far away, which was fine during the day, but at night they had to pass through Yanliu Alley.

Zhu Jingshou wanted to cover Mu Qingtian's eyes and pass quickly, but as soon as his hand was attached, Mu Qingtian screamed and pulled his hand away.

"Look there!"

Zhu Jingshou followed Mu Qingtian's finger
