Chapter 249
"How?" Mu Xiyao kowtowed the melon seeds, looked at Wei Zhen, and chatted leisurely.
Commander Wei's palms were sweaty, and he was very respectful. The one above is not to be provoked at all. It is usually said that big things should be turned into small ones, and when Master Yao is in front of him, he has to go against the grain. The more troubled the matter became, the more satisfied the ancestor was.
I don't know where this guy got the guts to change his face so clearly... Could it be because of His Highness's power?
An attempted assassination still happened in a village on the outskirts of the city. The man was inexplicably picked out, and even the eight famous tags in His Highness's hand became the evidence of Eastern Jin spies sneaking into Shengjing to steal military and political secrets.
At the time when the army was raising troops, Emperor Yuan Cheng became suspicious, and ordered spies to thoroughly investigate all the strongholds in the forty-one prefectures of the Great Wei Dynasty, and passed an order to the thirteen prefectures on the border that all customs clearance documents and jade certificates should be replaced. All repealed.
"Master, as you expected, the princes' mansions have also sent Gyeonggi inspection battalions to garrison. The news and exchanges are all recorded by spies, and they go straight to Shengting. The admirals of the Nine Gates are leading the troops to deploy their defenses. It's jittery."
Mu Xiyao took a sip of her tea, her eyebrows raised slightly.
so good.
All kinds of monsters, ghosts and snake gods, in front of the majesty of the emperor, have to accept their minions in peace. If those eyes in the dark were accidentally exposed to Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes, it would be fun, Mu Xiyao smiled treacherously.
Zong Zhenglin was about to leave Beijing, and with the war in Mobei, most of the princes' forces were transferred away from Shengjing. At that time, women's families will fight each other, and the support behind them will be greatly reduced. Even if they rely on Jingli Yue to come to the building, she will not suffer.
At this time, it is beneficial to Zong Zhenglin to clear up the eyes and ears of the nails.
"What happened to those people?" Could it be that the Meridian Gate asked to cut?
Mu Xiyao smacked her mouth, she was very disgusted with the Meridian Gate. It feels eerie and ominous when you get close. If you do anything, you go to the Meridian Gate. Unfortunately, there are two old streets in that place. People live in the back, don't you feel the hairs stand on end?
"His Royal Highness said that the execution should be carried out in Xixi City. The head will not be stored in the storehouse, but will be hung at the city gate for three days, and will be handed over to Wanping County for collection, and thrown into the leakage garden."
Wei Zhen reported back, but at the same time felt guilty. His Highness is really angry this time, and the deterrent meaning is obvious.
"The emperor agrees?" Zong Zhenglin said coldly in his bones. I don't know what Emperor Yuan Cheng would think of it?
"Most of them are right. Only the Eighth Highness remonstrated that torture can't deter Xiao Xiao. The emperor changed the criminal law according to the situation, and it is easy to be punished."
Mu Xiyao's hand that was twisting the melon seeds suddenly stopped, and there was an imperceptible disgust in the depths of her eyes.
The capital punishment of the Great Wei was divided into two types: killing and cutting. Although Zong Zhenglin was ruthless, he was not bloodthirsty. As for Zongzhenghan... worthy of being the master of the massacre of the city, the clues appeared at this time.
After hearing the "bad news", Mu Xiyao felt that it would be better if she cared about the recent happy event that was rumored in Shengjing City, so that she could get angry on the way.
"The envoys from the Eastern Jin Dynasty still stayed in the post house. When this matter comes out, what can they say?" Mu Xiyao cared more about Zong Zhengying's marriage than anyone else. Hurry up and send away the untouchable golden branch, and the sky in Shengjing will be a little bit clearer.
Emperor Yuan Cheng was very scheming, so he wouldn't let such a good opportunity go by in vain.
Wei Zhen secretly wiped the sweat from her palms. There were only three things in total, and before he could open his mouth, the master asked him over and over again. It is really considered exhaustive, just like His Highness, it is really very human.
"Eastern Jin Guoshu was delivered very quickly. After reading it, the emperor heard from Eunuch Gu that Longyan was very pleased."
Huh? The old man actually showed his satisfaction. It seems that Zong Zhengying's marriage will be settled soon. To make Emperor Yuan Cheng happy, could it be that Wei got the most scarce war horse?
Regarding military affairs, not to mention Wei Zhen, even Zong Zhenglin may not know all about it. The old man has many twists and turns in his heart, like a labyrinth. He has been an emperor for a long time, and he has a lot of problems...especially suspicious.
Mu Xiyao took advantage of this point to let go, and really let her take advantage of the wind to make things happen again.
After waving her hand to screen Wei Zhen back, Mu Xiyao bowed her head in thought for a moment. Because of this matter, the queen mother also had an explanation. After entering the palace to say hello, you will not be blamed.
The most troublesome thing for her in recent days is the injuries on her cheeks and neck, which are about to fade away and her appearance will be restored. On the other side of the big boss, how can she give an explanation? What annoyed Zong Zhenglin the most was that he sent his subordinates to search for medical treatment everywhere, and they still insisted on going their own way even now. Even if she "intimately" dissuaded her many times, she failed to dispel his paranoid order.
If the Sixth Highness knew that she had concealed it... Mu Xiyao shrank her body, this matter was more disturbing than the intrigue between women, and it made people sleep and eat uneasy.
Otherwise, try to find the old monk? It doesn't seem right... Zong Zhenglin had to know that she was doing all kinds of tricks just to hide it from him, and the consequences would be better than being frank and lenient.
It's just that this confession takes a lot of thought.
In the mansion, Mu Xiyao was worried about what she thought was the most important "big thing". But she didn't know that because of her flash of inspiration, all the troops and horses in Shengjing City were all grass, trees and soldiers, secretly mobilizing them non-stop. Several unknown places are even more tense, almost falling out of face.
The person who was supposed to be imprisoned and became decadent, but now with a pale face, firmly grasped the note in his hand, unable to revive himself.
It was so easy to bribe the guards, but the news was cut off for two consecutive days. This morning, an unlocked wooden box appeared inexplicably at the door of the room. With trembling hands, Zongzheng Chun mustered all his strength to lift the lid of the box. There are thirteen notes neatly inside, arranged in an orderly manner according to the distance of the day.
Sitting on the ground with one ass frightened, who can let people come and go freely here, and can take back the notes he secretly handed out one by one, besides that one, who else is so powerful and so powerful?
He ran back to the house in fear, and shut the two doors heavily. After that, Zongzheng Chunju shrank in the room for the next few days, not daring to have any dissatisfaction in order to make a comeback.
The prince was also very upset. A few years ago, the old man inspected the backyard and found out that he kept a young man. Later, the matter faded away, and after the limelight passed, he quietly hid a favorite opera singer in the Lincheng mansion.
I thought that after leaving Shengjing, things had changed, but unexpectedly the emperor suddenly brought up the old matter again, summoned him to the door of the study, and punished him to kneel for two hours without saying a word. Kneeling made him dizzy, and his feet were so swollen that he couldn't move a step.
The old accounts were uncovered overnight, and the two crimes were punished together. Emperor Yuan Cheng became cruel. When the prince was carried back to the East Palace, he burst into tears, it was obvious that he had been scolded badly. As for the actor who was thinking about it, he was ordered by the old man to drown in the lotus pond in private, turning into a dead soul in the water.
In Helian's mansion, Helianzhang frowned, caught off guard by the sudden change. To talk about major events in the past few days, it has little to do with the Helian family. But the deep meaning is intriguing. In particular, His Highness the Sixth Highness's handwriting is so thick and colorful that it cannot be ignored.
Those famous tags... He Lianzhang's mind repeatedly flashed the situation when His Highness the Sixth Highness was presenting it to the court.
Always feel different. But where?
He Lianzhang couldn't figure it out, but some people were clear about it, so they didn't dare to speak out.
Wan Jingwen has now tasted the grievance of "gritting teeth and swallowing blood". She obviously thought that this matter was over, so she restrained herself a lot. How could I have imagined that a blow to the head would come so unimaginably.
The assassination of Mu Xiyao failed, and it caused a lot of trouble. The current strategy is to throw a chess piece, and the strong man cuts off his wrist...
Rubbing his heart, he felt more and more severe angina. On the side of the Jin Dynasty, I don't know how bad it is to be implicated in this matter. If she lost that person's support... Wan Jingwen became more and more angry with the woman who had repeatedly frustrated her.
Why didn't God open his eyes and take the life of that demon girl!
Mu Yaonv, who was being talked about by others, was setting up a book table at this time, sitting right next to Zong Zhenglin, writing a pen and posting it.
When Zong Zhenglin returned to the mansion in the evening, Mu Xiyao greeted him with a smile and hospitality. Not only did he serve him and wash him, but he also washed his hands with a handkerchief.
"Jiaojiao, what are you going to do?" Zong Zhenglin was at ease to be served by her, and seeing Mu Xiyao's puppy legs, he knew that this woman had never been peaceful.
"Your Highness," Mu Xiyao took the initiative to rub her arms into his arms, wrapping her arms around Zong Zhenglin, with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with anticipation. "After dinner, let's take a walk in the yard, and then I will accompany you to review the documents, okay?"
"Wei Zhen didn't report it?" Zong Zhenglin straightened her head. With such a thin neck, why is she always shaking her head?
Mu Xiyao was forced to face him, her eyes rolled, and her red lips curled up high.
Zong Zhenglin's eyes fell on the depths of her bright eyes. Seeing the warmth, he swept his lips and smiled.
"Why don't you take the initiative like this on weekdays." His Highness Sixth Highness knew that there was a difference, but followed her wishes and willingly joined her. Competing with Mu Xiyao everywhere, no matter how happy she is, it can't beat her shameless and shameless effort. Rather than bickering in words, it is better to be happy in action.
With his lips blocked, Mu Xiyao closed her eyes, panting slightly. "Your Highness, this concubine is looking forward to the fragrance of the red sleeves."
I didn't hide it from you in the past, and I have nothing to do to be a concubine and feed a tiger with my body. I can't escape today, I think I can take the initiative, maybe I can get "reduction" from you? The concubine with the word "minus" actually feels dissatisfied, but if she can match the word "free", then everyone will be happy.
"Jiaojiao doesn't have to play around, it's really a burden to have you by my side." Zong Zhenglin lifted her chin, and licked the moisture on her lips. It is extremely unwise to put this woman in the study.
His Highness the Sixth Highness has experienced Mu Xiyao's many provocations, and already understands that she is definitely not a temperament that can sit still. The only way to be safe and secure, without making any noise, is to hold the scroll you like to read, and stay in one place by yourself, at least you can stay for a day or two.
It's a pity that it's mid-winter at this moment, she should be the soft pillow quilt in Aiji's room, and the pair of fancy-looking tabi cotton socks. Especially the pair of fluffy balls on the heels made Zong Zhenglin's forehead twitch.
Mu Xiyao was still in high spirits just now, smiling brightly. Hearing his refusal, a grievance immediately appeared on his small face, and sadness appeared in his eyes. His little head drooped, his eyes were looking at him wanting to cry, and his eyelashes fluttered listlessly.
"Even if you're just going to post a post, you can't?" That little figure is so delicate that Zongzheng Lin's heart swayed when he saw it.
Pretend, with this pretentious ability, His Highness the Sixth Highness has never seen anyone more penetrating than her.
What will happen after that, just look at Mu Xiyao sitting upright, lighting the lamp, holding a pen and focusing on tracing Li Nanfu's copybook.
His Highness Six was mentally weak, and was taken advantage of by the goblin, and finally succeeded.
