When Mu Chen arrived at the imperial study, he saw that Jing was diligently correcting the memorial, while the emperor ordered Duke Li to play chess with him. While playing chess, he criticized that his style of chess was too gentle and not murderous.
The little eunuch Xiao Deng Zi, who led Mu Chen in, could not help but wipe his cold sweat and carefully reminded him, "Your Majesty, general Mu is here."
The Emperor didn't seem to hear that. He continued to point to the chess game and said, "Li Dehai, I find that you are going back more and more alive. You have no energy at all. Look here. What kind of chess are you playing? The defense is in chaos. If my general commands the army like you, I'm afraid that my country will be over long ago. "
Hearing this, Li Dehai quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. The emperor turned his Phoenix eyes and laughed softly to let him get up. Li Dehai took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Accompanying the emperor like a tiger is not an easy job.
Listening to that, Mu Chen always felt that the emperor was alluding to something. He frowned and thought that he had already taken the initiative to hand over the military talisman. Now that there is no soldier on hand, what is the emperor's dissatisfaction with him? The little eunuch beside him pulled him, and he raised his head. Seeing the emperor looking over, he saluted him.
"Why do you have time to run to me today?" The emperor lifted up his robe and got up. Li Dehai rushed to help him, but he refused. He went to the back of the book case and sat down with his hand on the table.
Yan Chengli, who was sitting on the Luohan bed correcting the memorial, raised his head. Seeing the emperor's face with a deep smile, he turned to see Mu Chen.
Mu Chen stood upright and upright. He did not change his face when he heard the emperor's words. He replied, "I come here for General Han."
"General Han? I remember him as mu. " Looking at the emperor's face with a smile.
Old fox, Mu Chen scolded in his heart and nodded.
The emperor laughed and looked at Mu Chen with great interest. If it had not been for the rebellion more than three years ago, he would have valued this young young man very much. However, the incident at that time tied him closely to his eldest son.
If the eldest son would rebel, he would absolutely not believe it. The eldest son was the crown prince at the beginning, married the crown prince and was the legitimate daughter of the Supreme Master's mansion. The disciples of the Supreme Master basically supported him, and he gradually let him learn how to deal with major issues. It was sooner or later that the throne would be passed on to him. He did not need to revolt for quick success and instant benefit.
But he still took advantage of the situation to abolish his crown prince's position, that is, to ring an alarm bell to the Queen's family, intending to tell them that they were making small moves behind their back, which made him clear.
"You secretly hide criminals. I have not punished you. Do you dare to plead for the criminals?" The emperor's eyebrows raised, showing a distinct angry color.
"General Han went to Beijing without permission in order to arrest the Dali spies. I hope your majesty will observe." Mu chensi was not afraid of his majesty. If the emperor really wanted to punish him, he would have been taken into custody by the guards as early as he came in.
The emperor sneered, "since the spy is found, why not play first? And acting in private. " He picked up the wooden Paperweight on the table and slapped it hard. "What do you think of the court's rules?"
"Did not your majesty see the memorial to the cold wind?" Mu Chen asked.
The blue veins on the emperor's forehead were bulging, and he was also excited to jump. He glared at Mu Chen and asked Li Dehai to bring him a chair. "You can explain this to me exactly."
"Yes." Mu Chen responded.
When Mu Chen and Jing were coming out of the imperial study, it was already dark. Yan Chengli stretched himself, looked at Mu Chen and said, "zi'an, do you think if this king applies to return to the fiefdom, will the father and the emperor agree?"
The life in the imperial city is really hard to endure. He can't help thinking that the life he has tried his best to win back is not what he really wants?
"No Mu Chen said without hesitation.
Hearing this, Yan Chengli gave a bitter smile and said in a low voice, "but this king will be tired."
The voice was very light. In the wind, it was like a silent sigh. Mu Chen looked back at his eyes and said nothing. Living in the royal family, the road to go is much more bumpy than others. Some ambitious people, without showing their ambition, are beaten down and unable to get up again;
some have the ability and are suitable for that position, but they may not have the opportunity to touch the edge of that position in their lifetime.
while some people who don't care about that position are pushed up for no reason and become no self A puppet of opinion. Yan Chengli was depressed for a moment, and then recovered immediately. He patted Mu Chen on the shoulder, "let's go. I'll give you a ride."
"Not on the way." Mu Chen Road.
Yan Chengli couldn't laugh or cry, "I'll send you if I don't follow the way."
They got on the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion together. The coachman drove the carriage to Yanzi lane. In order to get on the way, the coachman didn't go to Zhuque street, but went to Wanren lane. Unexpectedly, he ran into Muke in the corner of the alley and was entangled by a man.
"Lord, he is the fifth son of Zhenyuan marquis." The coachman slowed down and reported back to Yan Chengli.
Yan Chengli lifted the curtain and looked at it. He turned to Mu Chen and said, "your brother is entangled. Do you want to go down and have a look?"
Mu Chen didn't want to pay attention to it, but Yan Chengli said: "if this side is seen, Muke's reputation will be ruined. Once it is spread out, all the children of Mu family who have not said their parents will be affected."Thinking of his younger brother who has not yet been engaged, as well as several younger brothers and sisters in Ximu's residence, Mu Chen's eyebrows and eyes flicker in the dark and makes the coachman stop the car.
"Come on, Como." He lifted the curtain and went out and stood by the coachman and called to Muko.
Muke was waving his whip to confront people. Hearing Mu Chen's voice, he immediately pushed the man away and ran to the carriage.
"Why do you mind your own business?" Seeing the duck flying away, the man turned around unhappily and asked Mu Chen haughtily.
"Second brother." Murko breathed heavily, in a low voice.
Mu Chen looked down at him and remembered his not outstanding face. Then he reached out to carry Muke onto the carriage and let the coachman go on.
Seeing that he was ignored, the man's chest heaved rapidly and caught up with him in a big stride. Mu Chen's eyes were dim. He took the whip in Muke's hand and threw it decisively behind him. The man screamed with pain and fainted.
Muke shrank into a group and turned back carelessly. However, Yan Chengli looked at him with a smile. His heart almost jumped out of his mind and knelt down in a hurry. "I've seen Prince Jing."
"Don't be too polite." Yan Chengli raised his head and saw Mu Chen bending in. "Zi'an, I seem to scare your brother."
Will Muko be scared? Mu Chen looked at Mu Ke suspiciously, but saw Muke kneeling timidly in the corner of the carriage, with his head slightly embarrassed.
"Well." He answered and sat down beside Yan Chengli.
Muke was frightened by what had happened just now. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing. As the most beloved son of Houhe Dehui County Lord in Zhenyuan, he almost walked sideways in the capital city. All the princes of the high-ranking officials and noble families in the capital had heard of his name, so he gave up his property when he was in trouble before He secretly accepted his love poems because he didn't come from a high school. However, he secretly sent love poems to his four sisters. If he couldn't take them, he would take his attitude. At the same time, he got in touch with them. Later, he found out the truth and wanted to destroy his reputation and force him to submit. Musk trembled with anger at the thought that his reputation was almost ruined and that he would marry such a man. He put his arms in his hands and leaned against the corner of the carriage, and suddenly tears of grievance fell.
He cried very forbearance, clenched his lower lip to prevent himself from making a sound. He was afraid that he would be laughed at by Mu Chen.
Mu Chen just squinted at him, then turned to lift the curtain to look out of the window, "how long have you not walked through this alley?"
"Did I ever walk through this alley?" Yan Chengli picks eyebrows and looks out of Mu Chen's body.
Mu Chen pointed to the wall in front of him and said, "we didn't climb over the wall before. It seems that it's your first time to slip out of the palace..."
Yan Chengli also thought of it and looked at the wall again. "I didn't expect that many years ago, you still remember."
"Well." Mu Chen nodded solemnly, "I remember you still owe me ten Liang silver."
Yan Chengli's expression was stunned, then he burst out laughing and patted Mu Chen on the back.
Yan Chengli asked the coachman to put down Mu Chen and Mu Ke in the prefectural palace, and then went out of Yanzi lane and went back to the Jing palace directly from Zhuque street. From time to time, Chen Mu is holding his coat behind his back.
For some reason, he dares to fight with Mu Jin in public and yell at other brothers and sisters at will, but he is very afraid of this second brother. That kind of fear seems to come from life, so he basically hides when he sees Mu Chen and goes to find Mu Jin and Shen Jingli's troubles, and also hides from Mu Chen.
After entering the gate, he found Muke standing uneasily at the door. Mu Chen returned to his body and returned the whip in his hand. He said, "if you are going to have a marriage, don't go out all day. You will be gossiping."
Muke took the whip, and then looked up at Mu Chen. Mu Chen still had no expression on his face. He turned his head and waved to the guards patrolling in the yard.
"You two send the fifth young master back." After the command, he turned and went in. Muke looked at his back for a long time. Suddenly, he felt very sad. He yelled at his back, "second brother."
Shen Jingli came out with xun'er and Huaixin, and saw Mu Chen come face-to-face and asked, "was someone calling you just now?"
Mu Chen bent down to hold xun'er up and let him sit on his neck. Seeing xun'er waving his hands happily, he also said hello to diao'er hovering in the air, with a light smile, "I met Muke on the way back."
"Oh." Shen Jingli did not ask, anyway, Mu Chen would not suffer from the "cold wind and Jiyun? When will it be released? "
"I think it will be closed for a few days." They walked to the second courtyard side by side, "I'll go to the prison tomorrow to see them both, and you'll let the kitchen prepare some delicious food."
"Good." Shen Jingli looked at Mu Chen playing with xun'er. Listening to xun'er's giggling, he felt very warm. The so-called happy life is probably like this.
