Princess Fengyang did not sleep well all night. She tossed and walked for half a night, woke up by a nightmare for the third time. Princess Fengyang finally decided:
I won't sleep with this bird!
Prince Tang put a shirt on her and comforted her, "Don't worry, can something happen if a group of people are around?"
"How can I not worry? Xiaobao has never left the capital. He didn't know that it was dangerous outside. The child was confused. Maybe he thought it was fun and followed him secretly." Princess Fengyang felt sad and worried about the heart of a loving mother being tortured by her younger son. She clenched her fists and beat the quilt with hatred. "When the boy comes back, I will break his legs! I will sneak out if I don't tell my family! What if something happens, what should I do!"
Then, Princess Fengyang complained about Mu Anzhi again, and then her own emperor brother became an unstable person in the mouth of Princess Fengyang. "If Xiao Baoer goes to ask for an official, he will give it to him? He doesn't look at the old and older officials in the court. He has never seen such a child as a child. There is also a prince consort, too. They are all children who smile all day long, so they are not afraid of you, and he can't remember what you say."
Prince Tang was amused and laughed and sat with Princess Fengyang for half a night. He also cared about his younger son.
At this time, Tang Mo was sleeping soundly on the inn bed. It was the second time that Chen Jian pushed Tang Mo into the bed. When Tang Mo squeezed over for the third time, Chen Jian finally accepted his fate that there was a small fire near him.
Chen Jian heard it even more. He didn't take long to wake Tang Mo up. Tang Mo sat up and said alertly, "What's wrong? Are you going to catch them?"
Chen Jian looked at his cat's eyes helplessly, "Get up and eat, and continue chasing after dinner."
There was no thrilling sword lights and swords as Tang Mo imagined, and he immediately caught him when he chased him. After returning to the imperial capital, Tang Mo was scolded by Empress Dowager Lan Xuan in the palace, saying that he ran out regardless of his own safety and asked his elders to worry. Tang Mo said while pinching the chestnut crisps and eating them deliciously, "What's there to worry about? It's not dangerous at all, I just drove for two days. I'm an adult now, grandma, don't worry."
"Is there any danger?" Empress Dowager Lan scared her grandson, "I heard your mother say you go out to catch the prisoner, which scared me. I didn't know yesterday, but if I knew, I would send someone out of the city to find you."
"Don't do this, then you'll be damned. I'm not a girl's family, so I'll ask my family to look for her when I leave the city?" Tang Mo took another piece of chestnut crisp.
Princess Jiaxiang asked him dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with the girl? You still look down on others."
"No, no, I'm a real man, born to go out and run more, you were born to embroider the house." Tang Mo said proudly.
Princess Jiaxiang hummed and Tang Mo stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll go to the yamen to work as a service first. Now is the important time, I have to go and do it."
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Empress Dowager Lan smiled and waved her hand, "Go and go, don't be tired, be careful, and don't leave the city without saying this in the future and make your family worry."
"I know." Tang Mo said, and then he turned his legs out of the palace and went to the Ministry of Justice.
Queen Mother Lan said, "How come Xiaobao walks weirdly."
Princess Fengyang felt distressed and relieved, "I'm going out to ride a horse for two days and grinding my thighs in the blue sky, I deserve it!"
Empress Dowager Lan felt sad again, feeling that her grandson had suffered a great crime, so she gave her daughter a bunch of rewards to her grandson to repair her body. When she had time, she even talked to Emperor Mu Xuan. Emperor Mu Xuan was so happy and said, "I thought Xiaobao had just gone to the Ministry of Justice to play for two days, but she looked a little bit."
"You don't know, but you're serious. It's a matter of taking the mission seriously."
Emperor Mu Xuan comforted his nephew and knew how to do things, "Let him practice for two years first, and if he grows older, he can give him some more."
.
In fact, since Lu Xing was arrested back to the Ministry of Justice, the case officially entered the closing stage. Even if Mu Anzhi wanted to examine the person behind Lu Xing, as soon as Lu Xing entered the Ministry of Justice, he would take all the blame on him.
Lu Xing said, "Zhu Chengsong's wife is my clan sister, Zhu Chengsong is my brother-in-law, and the Zhu family's father, Fang Juesi, my brother-in-law intends to compete for the position of the clan chief. I made the idea of stealing the will, to distract the eldest son's uncle and nephew. All things were done by me, Huayue Tower is my secret business. As a man, who doesn't want to own a brothel?"
Secretary Li would come over from time to time to ask about the lawsuit and carefully avoid torture. Secretary Li knew very well that Mu Anyi had always had different relationships with the Lu family. This case already involved the Lu clan members, so it would be better not to involve political disputes.
Mu Anzhi was persuaded by Changshi Hua two times in private, believing that the case could be settled and that nothing could be found after further investigation.
Mu Anzhi himself also understood that the Zhu family's case was completely involuntarily implicated in the Duke's Mansion. However, he said, "The Zhu family case can be closed. Lu Xing's business has two sets of account books, and the crime of tax abstention will be filed separately!"
"The secret account of the brothel is recorded. Lu Xing used brothel to bribe the court officials and filed a separate case!"
Mr. Li did not expect Mu Anzhi to make this move suddenly. He thought to himself that the three high princes who were defeated by the royal family were definitely not ordinary people.
Zhu Xing was arrested and Zhu Chengsong benefited a lot. At least Zhu Chengsong's exile was changed from 30 years to 20 years, and the exile was changed from the island in the extreme south to the northern border to serve his sentence.
As for the other two cases, the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Capital Prefecture and the Censorate will be tried together.
Because Lu Xing was a branch of the Lu family, Duke Lu came to the front of the emperor to apologize, Emperor Mu Xuan asked Duke Lu to speak, Emperor Mu Xuan said, "I know that you have always been very strict in your family, with a large clan, and occasionally people of different quality. It is inevitable that you will have people of different quality. But this kind of secretly opening a brothel is too inequality. Wouldn't it be criticized by the Qingliu? Is it true that any serious person would do such a thing? The Ministry of Justice asked him, and he actually said that men don't want to have a brothel! Listen, what a bastard is this!"
"I am ashamed."
The face of Duke Lu Guozheng was red. He just got up and his knees were bent and his knees were kneeling down before he could stand up, leaning on his head.
Seeing that he was like this, Emperor Mu Xuan did not blame him anymore, "I will punish the clan, don't do anything like this again."
"yes."
After leaving Zhaode Hall, Duke Lu was sweating in his clothes.
.
The grand and solemn enthronement ceremony of the Eastern Palace is still in front of you. Mu Anzhi, who was fighting for the stock market, returned to everyone's sight by a seemingly inconspicuous case of merchants fighting for property.
Or, compared to the gentle and elegant impression that Mu Anzhi gave people in the past, the third prince, who is moody and fierce, is more shocking now.
Before and after the morning court, Mu Anzhi still had few ministers around him, and he didn't care at all.
Even when many people believed that Mu Anzhi would expand the Lu Xing case, Mu Anzhi only clarified the matter of abstinence of taxes and bribery of court officials and quickly closed the case without any delay, nor did he intend to expand the case to Duke Lu's mansion.
Emperor Mu Xuan believed that Mu An made great progress. These cases were beautiful in terms of the integrity of the evidence and the final summary of the case, and the final sentencing was also very pertinent. Lu Xing fined 500,000 taels of silver, 80 taels of rods, and 50 years of prison, and he was not allowed to pardon.
Emperor Mu Xuan was pleased, "I can rest assured if you are in the Ministry of Justice in the future."
Mu Anzhi bowed slightly, his expression calm.
"What are your plans next?"
Mu Anzhi, "If you have a case, check the case, and if you don't have a case, rest."
Emperor Mu Xuan: He was so honest that he didn't like to comment.
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Don't just investigate the case alone. Let you go to the Ministry of Justice, learn more and see more, and learn to take the overall situation."
Mu Anzhidao, "How to take the overall situation into consideration? No."
"I don't know how to learn, but I'll learn it."
"Let's talk about it later, I won't understand it."
Emperor Mu Xuan was funny. He thought Mu Anzhi was quite clever when he was studying, but now he was simply negligent in investigating the case. Once it was involved in the entire Ministry of Justice, it would not be possible. This is not urgent, Mu Anzhi is still young.
.
The case can be closed quickly this time, but it depends on everyone's ability. Mu Anzhi is not a person who can treat his subordinates badly. He went home to discuss with Li Yuhua, "It's winter now. I think the supply of the Ministry of Justice is not as good as that of our mansion. Doctor Zheng's jacket is all in sheepskin. Is there any ticket to Du Changshi and the others to make clothes at Qianzhenfang? I'll give me a few tickets. I'll send them one to the Ministry of Justice. Each person makes bright clothes, which is also the decent one of the Ministry of Justice."
"Where are there? How many? Our family is a big family in Qianzhenfang. They use these clothes and hats to cut clothes, which is cheaper than going to Qianzhenfang by themselves." As soon as October entered the mansion, the fire broke out. Li Yuhua wore a small pomegranate red sweater dress, as dazzling as the pomegranate flowers in summer. As he said that, Yun Yan asked the box to put the clothes and hats and hats, and opened it for Mu Anzhi to see. The tickets inside were divided into several types, and the levels were also different. There were clothes and hats, and shoe tickets for shoes.
Mu Anzhi took a few sets and planned to send them to his subordinates tomorrow.
While the couple was talking, Yunqi came in and reported that it was Xu Zhen's visit.
"Why is your father here?"
Li Yuhua seemed to be smiling, "I think he should come too." She got up from the couch and said to Mu Anzhi, "I'll go and have a look."
Mu Anzhi said, "What's the hurry? Put on a piece of clothes and go out, and the wind is cool outside."
Sushuang brought the small-haired cloak, and Li Yuhua did not let Sushuang serve her. She only looked at Mu Anzhi with a pair of slender smiles. Mu Anzhi had to take the cloak from Sushuang's hand and tied it for Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua lowered her eyes and looked at Mu Anzhi's slender fingers that tied the cloak belt for her, and felt happy in her heart.
Mu Anzhi asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, it won't take much effort."
Li Yuhua met Xu Zhen in the inner study.
Xu Zhen still looked the same as before, wearing a purple official robe, which shows that he came directly from the fallen yamen. When Li Yuhua came over, Xu Zhen was having tea leisurely.
"I've seen the Empress." Xu Zhen bowed respectfully to Li Yuhua.
"Don't be polite, my father." Li Yuhua waved his hand and asked Xu Zhen to sit down. He winked at Yun Yan. Yun Yan retreated. There was only father and daughter in the room. Li Yuhua asked with concern, "Why did my father come suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
Looking at Li Yuhua's vivid and friendly face, Xu Zhen smiled, "I'm not willing to go back to Xu's mansion, so I'll come over."
"What are you doing?" The smile in Li Yuhua's eyes was like the fog gradually rising in the evening, and it gradually showed chill.
"Come and ask the Empress, if..." Xu Zhen suddenly stopped and shook his head helplessly, "Look at me, if I were the Empress, I would have any grudges against the Xu family."
"You are wrong. It's not that you have grudges or grudges, it's that you have no grudges or grudges." Li Yuhua looked sarcastic and sarcastic, and with a little calmness, "If I live in the countryside, I am taken to the imperial capital to see your family's high-ranking officials and nobles, you will really be able to hate you. You have good luck. I was already in the countryside and had no shortage of food and clothing. At that time, I had a broad vision and would not take the wealth of the Xu family seriously, let alone I have such a good home now. What do I blame you for doing? I blame you for having such a good marriage and still think of me? Or do you blame you for not raising me? Just like Lu's little nose and small eyes, I really want to grow up in the countryside. If I followed you, how could I have today?"
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no regret. An outstanding child is indifferent to himself and has no relatives, which is a great loss to any parents. However, Xu Zhen is still calm, "It is my blessing to think so."
A glimmer flashed in Li Yuhua's eyes, "After all, we are blood relatives. Just like the prince's concubine's marriage, my father thought of me, and I will never forget my father even if I have good things."
"The Empress may as well talk about it."
"Now I don't ask my father to make a decision. Let me tell you the current situation. My father also knows that the Lu family is in great shape, and His Highness and the Lu family are incompatible. My father is naturally close to the Lu family now. If I marry a chicken and follow the chicken, I will advance and retreat with him when marrying Your Highness. My father, the dispute between Your Highness and the Lu family will never end with the enthronement of the Eastern Palace. One day in the future, when the Lu family falls, I hope my father will make a new choice. I will give you such an opportunity. As long as you seize it, you can enjoy my glory together."
"This is my promise to my father."
The first time Xu Zhen saw someone ask him to be a nail in such a kind tone. Li Yuhua's words translated, when the prince was killed by my highness, I hope you can stand wisely.
