Chapter 1008 The choice of a famous family (1)
Although he was a little surprised by the sudden change of words from the head of the Chu family, the two guards still took him back to the hall with responsibilities. After all, the emperor did not intend to kill the head of the Chu family. It would be not so easy for such a person to die. If he turned over, he could slap them, such a penniless little guards, to death.
Sure enough, Mo Jingli almost immediately ordered the head of the Chu family to be brought back to the hall.
This time, the head of the Chu family did not hesitate at all, and knelt on the ground. He lowered his head and said, "Caughter Chu Shaoying, the emperor!" Everyone present was in an uproar. You must know that among them, the Chu family was the most indifferent to Mo Jingli before. Moreover, due to the relationship between the Chu family and the Xu family, anyone with discerning eyes knew that even if the Chu family was loyal to Mo Jingli, they would not get important.
Mo Jingli raised his eyebrows with satisfaction. Seeing the head of the Chu family who was proud and proud before kneeling on his knees in front of him, Mo Jingli felt indescribable pleasure in his heart. It was as if he had seen the Xu family kneeling in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and Mo Jingli asked, "Why did Mr. Chu change his mind so quickly?"
The head of the Chu family lowered his head and said, "Caomin is confused for a while, please forgive me. If... the Chu family is destroyed by Caomin's hands, Caomin will be punished for his death."
"Oh?" Mo Jingli was thinking. If Chu Shaoying had said something else, he might not believe it. But Mo Jingli knew that these so-called families of aristocratic families regarded their family more important than anything else. They were willing to sacrifice anything for the continuation of the family. It would be reasonable if it was for the Chu family.
"Oh? The Chu family is willing to be loyal to me? Then what did my previous proposal?" Mo Jingli asked.
Chu Shaoying nodded and said, "Yes, the Chu family is willing to be loyal to Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty the whole country as soon as possible. The Chu family will do their best to satisfy Your Majesty." Seeing his appearance, Mo Jingli was finally satisfied. He laughed loudly and stood up to convince Chu Shaoying. He smiled and said, "I just made a joke with Mr. Chu, please don't blame Mr. Chu."
Chu Shaoying looked pale and nodded respectfully, "I dare not, I dare not..." It seemed as if she was really scared.
Mo Jingli glanced at everyone present and smiled, "Mr. Chu made such a statement of justice. I am very pleased. I don't know what you are thinking about?" The heads of the Yu Chu family who had the best relationship with the Yu Chu family were also the people who were not optimistic about Mo Jingli looked at Chu Shaoying in confusion. Chu Shaoying lowered his eyes indifferently and nodded invisibly.
Although he didn't know why he suddenly changed like this, these people still had some confidence in Chu Shaoying. The Chu family could not let the Ding Prince's Mansion and the Xu family not hug it, but instead threw themselves into Mo Jingli. Even if the Ding Prince's Mansion is really going to be defeated, it would be better to retreat to the mountains and forests than to surrender to Mo Jingli. At least you don't have to worry about when the family will be confiscated or killed by Lei Zhenting.
After thinking about it, the few people also stood up and said, "Caomin and others are willing to be loyal to Your Majesty."
"Okay! That's great! Come on... I respect Mr. Chu and you all!" Mo Jingli laughed with satisfaction, and the anger just now was wiped out.
The hall had just restored the image of peace, but it seemed that God had destined tonight's banquet not to go on smoothly. Someone outside the door hurried in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Mo family army moved into the city, and just set fire to the granary in the west of the city!"
"What?!" Mo Jingli slapped the table and asked sternly: "Where is the person?"
"Back... Emperor, General Li is taking people to arrest him." The person who came to report said quickly.
"Attack?! You're so bad! People scrambled into the city to burn the granary and found out that they were all doing what they were doing?!" Mo Jingli angrily kicked away a wooden table in front of him and roared angrily.
"Subordinates... are aware of their crimes."
"Enough!" Mo Jingli interrupted his meaningless apology, glanced at everyone present, and said coldly: "You guys go back first. That's all tonight." Chu Shaoying and others stood up to say goodbye. Chu Shaoying thought for a while before stepping forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Chu family still has some food reserved, and is willing to offer it to the emperor to solve the urgent problem." After hearing Chu Shaoying's words, Mo Jingli looked a little slow and nodded, "I thank Mr. Chu."
After all the outsiders left, Mo Jingli asked coldly: "How much did it burn?"
The lowly man couldn't help swallowing and said tremblingly: "The three granaries in the west of the city caught fire at the same time, and all of them were burned. There was also a granary in the north of the city... and most of the military rations in our army... I'm afraid it won't last for two days."
Mo Jingli frowned slightly, and he was not very worried about the food and grass. This time the march was urgent, so the military supplies behind him did not arrive. At most, there would naturally be food and grass in a few days. What's more... there are many wealthy families in Liyang City. Even though these people look less rich than the so-called wealthy businessmen, their background is that those wealthy businessmen can't catch up. Now in a chaotic world, he will definitely not believe that these people have not hoarded food and grass privately.
What really made Mo Jingli uneasy was the Mo family army sneaking into the city. With such strict vigilance in Liyang City, the Mo family army could still sneak into the city and set fire to the fire, which made Mo Jingli very shocked and uneasy.
"Tell General Li, be sure to capture all the Mo family troops entering the city!" Mo Jingli said in a deep voice.
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
"Get out!" Seeing the people below rolling and crawling out, Mo Jingli looked at the empty hall in front of him with annoyed moment. He raised his hand and smashed the wine glass in front of him to the ground, "Mo Xiuyao! I don't believe that you can't beat you!"
Late at night, Mo Jingli was drunk and was helped back to her room by the servant. The enchanting woman who had been waiting there hurriedly came up and helped him walk to the bed, shouting softly: "Your Majesty... Are you drunk?"
Mo Jingli looked at the woman in front of him with drunken eyes and said, "Rareless! Who are you?"
The woman said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you... I am Concubine Li."
"Concubine Li?" Mo Jingli was in a bad mood and drank too much. She was a little confused for a moment, "Who is Concubine Li... um... it's you... you..." Concubine Li smiled happily and said, "It's my concubine, I'm my concubine..." Although she was just a dancer, she was Mo Jingli's favorite concubine, otherwise Mo Jingli would not have brought her with her even in marches and wars.
Mo Jingli nodded and said, "It's you, you are Ye...Ye Li."
Concubine Li felt a chill on her head and couldn't react for a moment. She had naturally heard of Ye Li's name, but she didn't expect the emperor to call out the name of Princess Ding in such a place. Concubine Li had no jealousy in her heart. When one person was too far away from another, even jealousy could not be born. She was just shocked and vaguely felt that hearing this was definitely not a good thing for her.
