There was silence in the pavilion, only the sound of Mu Qing tapping the gaiwan lightly could be heard clearly.

"Go pass it on to Qin Ran." Seeing that Chi Wen didn't respond for a long time, Mu Qing said.Qi Lin responded and went down, and after waiting for half an hour, Grand Tutor Qin Ran entered the palace in response, during which Mu Qing didn't say a word to Chi Wen, nor did he look at him.

He didn't want to know the expression on Chi Wen's face now.

Qin Ran arrived in court attire, and after kneeling down to say hello, Mu Qing waved him to let him get up.King Rong and Taifu don't have much communication on weekdays. Qin Taifu and the regent are about the same age. However, Mu Qing grew up on the battlefield since he was a child, but Qin Ran has followed the prince since he was a child. It can be said that he watched the prince grow up. big.For this reason, Mu Xiang never made things difficult for him in the past, and usually just turned a blind eye, but today he put on a particularly big air, which made Qin Ran feel uneasy.

The prince's face was frosty, and he sat upright like a wooden sculpture. He didn't express anything when he looked at Qin Ran, but just looked at him dumbly.

Mu Qing asked Qilin to add new tea, and he rolled the tea leaves at a leisurely pace, his sharp eyes drooped slightly, and his slender eyelashes cast a pair of crow-blue arcs in front of his eyes, and he said leisurely: "Teacher Qin, are you guilty? ?”

Qin Ran had just got up, before he had time to sit down, he couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, "I don't know what the lord is saying, please tell me clearly."

The hall was extremely quiet, as if there was no one there.Mu Qing finished a cup of tea leisurely, and even when Xiao Xing stayed overnight, there was a trace of laziness in the corners of his eyes and brows, and said quietly: "This king sent all the palace people in the palace out to wait, which is enough to give you a great deal of face. .”

Qin Ran couldn't help being stunned, Mu Qing didn't allow him to speak, and said directly: "I heard that Liu Yong was recommended by Qin Taifu?"

Qin Ran said: "Yes, this person is quite talented..."

Mu Qing interrupted him indifferently, "You know he is talented, but do you know that six years ago, Liu Yong was abolished by the king in front of civil and military officials, and demoted to a remote governor? You are so brave, This palace allows you to be regent, but you actually let the deposed officials return to the court, is this how you took care of the previous court for the prince?"

"Six years ago, the incident involved tens of thousands of people, and the courtiers kept it secret. I really don't know the truth. Please forgive me, my lord!" Qin Ran knelt down with a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.This news is tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water on his head.

"That's right." Mu Qing sneered, "Back then, the emperor had rewarded the emperor with dozens of court sticks, which almost broke his spine. You must have only paid attention to whether the king died, and didn't go to see who was killed. Is it useless?"

"I don't dare." Qin Ran said, his voice was extremely calm.

Mu Qing waved his hand, and Qi Lin presented Liu Yong's confession that had been prepared to Qin Ran, "Master Qin, this is Liu Yong's confession, please take a good look at it."

"Confession?" Qin Ran's eyebrows twitched, and he took it over for a closer look. Junxiu's face turned pale, "This..."

"Liu Yong conspired against you, Qin Taifu, and you can't get rid of it. Only in troubled times should severe punishments be used, and this king doesn't want to do that kind of violent ruling. Liu Yong wrote these things without any injuries." Mu Mu Looking at him, his eyes are as cunning as a night leopard in the mountains and forests, "This king only severely punishes the chief criminal. If you plead guilty, the rest will let them live."

"My minister..." Qin Ran opened his mouth to speak.

The prince, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly tugged at the corner of Muqing's robe lightly, with eager eyes, "Qin Ran is my grand tutor, I know exactly what kind of person he is, this matter is quite strange, and must not be wronged killed him!"

After a long time, Mu Qing smiled, brushed the prince's hand away indifferently, and said in a icy voice: "This kind of treason is a crime of punishing the world. The prince has not yet enthroned and the people's hearts are not stable, so it is not appropriate to carry out mass murder." This king has full power to decide, even if it is wronged, for the peace of mind of the people in the world, no one wronged Qin Taifu will be wronged!"

Given the conclusive evidence, Qin Ran was completely unable to argue that Liu Yong's conspiracy was true, and it was also true that he was the one who recommended him to the court.Mu Qing also obviously lost his patience, and wanted to act arbitrarily to the end!

"Qilin immediately drafted an imperial edict for the crown prince to announce to the world. Grand Tutor Qin Ran has ulterior motives and hidden evil intentions. He seized the title of the Qin clan and beheaded Qin Ran. His father, mother, and sister will all be exiled to Shu and never return to the court!" Mu Mu The whole body is like a sharpened cold green sword, the violence cultivated on the battlefield in the past is fully displayed, and a cold light seems to be shining in the eyes of indifference, "Liu Yong intends to rebel, punish his three clans, and three days later Ling Chi will be executed! "

"Come on!" Mu Qing shouted in a cold voice, "Get Qin Ran out, put him in the dungeon, and ask him to kill him in spring!"

A group of Jin Yiwei had been waiting for a long time, and now they heard Mu Qing's order and stepped into the hall one after another.

Qin Ran straightened his long sleeves, stood up calmly, and glanced at the prince, his eyes were calm, as if waiting for death in peace.

Jin Yiwei had just touched Qin Ran, but Chi Min suddenly jumped down, and slapped Jin Yiwei's hand away suddenly, breathing quickly, he turned around and looked at Mu Qing's quick gestures, "Qin Ran can't die! He is my tutor, I said If he dies, he can die!"

Mu Qing's attitude of wanting to be authoritarian is quite obvious, he just said coldly: "Why don't you detain the rebellious ministers and thieves!"

"Yes." Jin Yiwei Wei Mu looked forward to it, and ignored the prince's obstruction.

"Who dares!" Chi Wen was really angry, and gestured vigorously, "Whoever dares to touch him, I will kill him!"

Mu Qing's eyes were dimmed, and there was a tingle in his heart, but most of all he sneered.

However, Qin Ran lightly brushed Chi Wen's hand away, and said softly: "Your Highness, I have deserved what I have done, and I regret that I have betrayed His Highness's trust. I hope Your Highness will not cause any rift between me and the prince. Retire."

What he said was desolate, and Chi Wen stood there in a daze, watching him being escorted away by Jin Yiwei, a resentment towards Mu Qing gradually rose in his heart.Although he is the prince of a great country, he doesn't even have the right to protect those close to him.Chi Wen couldn't bear the grief in her heart, squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

Mu Qing waved his hand, and said to Qilin: "Go down, I will pass on the prince's order tomorrow morning, and go to draw it up first."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Qilin resigned.

The only sound left in the hall was the pained breathing of Prince Chiwen, and it took a long time for Muqing to go over and hug him in his arms, "I know you blame me, but Qin Ran must die."

Chi Wen ignored him, blindly sad.

Mu Qing had been prepared for a long time. When he decided to go to Beiping, he had already arranged everything. In fact, he didn't go to Beiping to see Li Weiyuan, and he clearly left himself clean.

"Fang Yu, the political envoy of Peking, asked me to kill him," Mu Qing said.

Chi Wen was taken aback, looking up at him with teardrops still on her face.

"Do you know why?" Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, took out the letter that he had cut off from the messenger that day from his sleeve, and handed it to Chi Wen, "Fang Yu's handwriting, Fang Yu was chosen by Qin Ran, you don't know A small fourth-rank official dares to slander me like this. If he said that he was not instructed by others, who would believe it? And who do you think the letter sent by Fang Yu sent? It will never be you."

Chi Wen was in a trance, Mu Qing touched his head, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said softly: "So don't blame me, if I don't kill Qin Ran, Qin Ran will kill me."

"Father once told me..." Chi Wen gestured slowly, and after a moment of impulsiveness, his mind gradually became clear, "Beside the emperor's pillow, no one else is allowed to sleep soundly."

But Mu Qing's expression froze, "These words sound like they are meant to warn me."

Chi Wen shook his head again and again: "You know I didn't mean that!" After a pause, he took a deep breath, "Qin Ran has a conspiracy and deserves what he deserves. You are right. But after all, he is the person who grew up with me. It's a little sad, I treated him so well, but he wanted to kill you..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again, and Mu Qing embraced him, "Isn't there a small number of people who disregard morality for the sake of fame and fortune?" This made Mu Qing feel that it was false, after all, Qin Ran grew up with the prince Of course, Mu Qing had thoroughly investigated his details, and he was even more aware that it was absolutely impossible for Qin Ran to be a greedy person.It's just to comfort the prince.

Chi Min huddled in his arms and tightly clenched her five fingers, biting her teeth tightly together.

In this way, Qin Taifu was thrown into prison suddenly.
