Chapter 232
King Jin sneered when he heard this, "What did the seventh brother say? What facts? Didn't the father say it very clearly just now? The father made a decision in his own words, and what Zhang Hui said was nonsense? Could it be that the seventh brother's ears are not easy to use?"
For a moment, King Qing was refuted and had nothing to say. King Jin didn't let him go at all. Then he said: "I didn't know that the seventh brother was so quick in his eloquence. He always wanted to condemn me and Duke Cheng. But he had to be strong himself. The seventh brother just spoke up and blamed others, so why didn't he reflect on himself? As far as I know, Zhang Hui married the daughter of the other branch of the family. If you want to talk about it, it's your cousin's husband. Should I avoid suspicion?"
Then, without waiting for King Qing to react, he turned to the Zuodu Censor and said, "I will not ignore this matter for both public and private matters. I hope that the Censorate Inspector can give me a satisfactory reply!"
After saying that, King Jin looked at Zhang Hui who was huddling in a bunch of clothes on the side, and sneered and turned around and left.
Immediately afterwards, officials from the Jinwang faction surrounded Duke Cheng and comforted him. Shan Xiong smiled indifferently and bowed and said, "Shan firmly believes that the Qing Dynasty has been clear since the Qing Dynasty. Shan has been used to it for so many years, and he didn't feel anything unexpected. But he still thanked his colleagues for their concern." While speaking, he went out with everyone.
In the end, only some officials watching the fire from the other side were left looking at each other. This was clearly a battle to start? Why did it eventually turn into a farce?
Not to mention how frustrated and annoyed the King of Qing was, even Mu Yun was confused after hearing this. Why did this scene seem to be much more dull than she thought, and it ended just like that before there was any splash?
Logically speaking, King Qing has already come to the door. King Jin has been in charge of the court for so many years, and it only takes a minute to deal with King Qing. However, except for Zhang Hui, who impeached Duke Cheng, who was dismissed from office and dismissed from office on the same day, King Jin did not do any other unnecessary actions, which made others confused.
On that day, Mu Yun and Yuan Chuzhi talked about this while drinking tea at the same place. Yuan Chuzhi was still a little upset for Duke Cheng. She frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what Uncle Six is thinking. Everyone has come to the door. He is just humble and retreating again and again. Where is he going to retreat? I have never seen him as timid in the past? Could it be that Duke Cheng suffered such a great grievance in vain? I can't figure it out."
Mu Yun said, "Don't be rushing. King Jin must have his own reason for acting like this. Didn't the censor who wrote the memorial have been dismissed from office? It can be considered as a blow to Duke Cheng. As for the others, I think King Jin should be planning to do it slowly!"
Yuan Chuzhi bit his lower lip slightly and said with some concern: "I don't look at what time it is? I still have to slowly draw it? I have seen the emperor twice in the palace these days, and I saw him with the queen. He looked very unhappy. There were even rumors in the capital, saying yes, yes..." In the end, he choked up. No matter what, that person was her grandfather. Even though she was not close to the emperor, she knew that she could live so recklessly over the years, and that it was because his secret protection was inseparable. Now that she saw that her grandfather's deadline was approaching, how could she not be sad?
Mu Yun knew that she was worried about the emperor and his best friend Shan Jingyan, so he hurriedly advised: "You don't have to worry too much. Jingyan has always been wise. If there is anything wrong with His Highness King Jin, how could she not persuade him? Now that she has no words, she must be supporting His Highness King Jin's approach. Think about it, even if the emperor is in poor health, he will still be the lord of the world. Do you think he hopes to see his sons kill each other in order to fight for the throne at this time?"
Yuan Chuzhiyuan was also a smart person with ice and snow. He was just covered by the fog and didn't see through it for a while. After hearing Mu Yun's words, he suddenly realized: "It's my devil's obstacle. At this time, not fighting is the struggle. I believe that King Qing's struggle at this time is just in line with Uncle Six's wishes? There is a prince who is busy robbing the throne, which makes His Highness Jin even more filial and considerate. Uncle Six is really as cunning as ever."
If you want to sit in that seat, you can't be too cunning! Mu Yun sighed in his heart. At this moment, the Shan family and the Jin prince's mansion are still grasshoppers on the same rope, and they are all in the same place. But after that person really ascended the throne, the situation will not be known in which direction the situation will develop.
Since ancient times, there seem to be not many queens and their mother tribes who have been able to die well!
Thinking of Shan Jingyan, who was decisive, Mu Yun could only pray in her heart, hoping that she could maintain this kind of tranquility after she became the mother of the country! Otherwise, the Shan family would be in danger.
After thinking a lot for a moment, Mu Yun lowered his eyelids when he was afraid that his face would appear, so he personally held a pot and added tea to Yuan Chuzhi: "You have been in the palace almost every day to accompany the Queen, so you must be a little tired. Look at you, your cheeks have become thinner. This morning, I asked them to pack up an old duck and stew sour soup. You can drink two more bowls later to make up for it."
Yuan Chuzhi smiled and replied, "Really? Then I have a good taste. The weather is hot and sour to make you feel appetizing."
As they were talking, the maid came and reported to Mrs. Chengxian to ask for a meeting. The two looked at each other. Yuan Chuzhi seemed to understand something, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The Chengxian and his wife are cunning."
Mu Yun glanced at her: "When will you talk about other people's right and wrong behind your back?"
Then Mu Yun ordered the maid, "Come in quickly, Mrs. Chengxian."
Yuan Chuzhi was unintentionally seeing people, so he stood up and said to Lazy Sheep: "I don't want to see outsiders, please find a house for me to stay for a while."
Mu Yun could only smile helplessly when he heard this: "Okay, let's do it, just stay here. I never entertain foreign guests in this room. I will go to the flower hall to see her." The place where the two of them stayed was Mu Yun's study room. Except for Yuan Chuzhi, there were no foreign guests in this room.
After all, the other party was Mrs. Bo. Mu Yun was not able to get it. He got up and went outside the yard. After a while, he saw the maid leading Mrs. Cheng over. Mu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "I never thought that the wife was coming. It was really a mistake to welcome her."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "It was me who came suddenly. Mrs. Wen would not blame me for taking the initiative." The two of them went into the house and sat down.
After the two of them exchanged a few greetings, Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "Mrs. Wen has always been so cheerful. I don't say secret words, so I won't go around with you anymore. I'm here this time to ask Mrs. Wen for help."
Mu Yun's heart moved slightly and said with a smile: "Madam, just say anything. If I can help, I will do my best."
Mrs. Cheng sighed lightly: "Some unpleasant things happened in the court a few days ago. Zhang Hui dared to wrongly accuse Duke Cheng of the Kingdom of China for no reason. It was really his own fault. However, although Zhang Hui married a daughter of a side branch of our family, we are really unaware of his actions this time. If we knew that he would do such a thing to frame loyalty and kindness, our uncle would never spare him."
Mu Yun now fully understood Mrs. Cheng’s purpose, and chuckled, “I understand this. When the family is old, it is inevitable that people will be unhappy.”
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly agreed, "Isn't it what Mrs. Wen said? Outsiders saw that our master inherited the title of Bo Mansion, and they didn't know how jealous and envious he was. But only the couple knew how nervous our master was when he was doing this title. Especially since a concubine appeared in the second house, the outside of the mansion looked like flowers and brocade, but if he was not careful, he would cook oil with fire!"
Mrs. Cheng paused and continued, "Our uncle has tried his best to restrain the children of the clan and dare not let the clan members do something to bully others. However, the energy is limited after all, and there are always things that cannot be taken into account. Especially since the separation of the Bo Mansion, the second house relied on Concubine Cheng and the Seventh Prince to win over some clan members to serve them in the family. Although we were willing to dissuade them, we were indeed powerless. In this matter, we also hope that Mrs. Wen can tell us about this matter in front of Princess Jin that our Chengxian Bo Mansion and the second house are not the same as each other."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun smiled faintly and said, "Mrs. should go to the Jin Palace to tell the Queen of Jin in person. If I can say this, wouldn't it seem to be a little less pious?"
Mrs. Cheng sighed and said quickly: "I don't know what Mrs. Wen said, but I have submitted posts to the Jin Palace several times in recent days. People in the Jin Palace say that the princess is very busy and has no time to meet foreign guests. I thought it was not easy to delay this matter for too long, so I thought about coming over and begging Mrs. Wen."
Mu Yun thought for a while, thinking that this matter was just a matter of giving a few words. As for what Shan Jingyan meant, she could not control her. So she smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then next time I go to the King of Jin's mansion to pay my respects, I will tell the empress what the lady meant. But how the empress responded is not something I can guess."
When Mrs. Cheng heard Mu Yun's willingness to hand over her words, she was already very happy. She chanted Amitabha several times and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Wen's willingness to hand over her words is done with the most righteousness, and the rest depends on the will of heaven." Seeing that she achieved her goal, she said a few more words to Mu Yun. After Mrs. Cheng refused Mu Yun's refusal, she left behind some precious gifts and hurriedly left.
Mu Yun personally sent the person to the second door, watched her get into the sedan chair before returning to the study.
Yuan Chuzhi was reading a travel notes on the bookshelf, and when she saw her coming in, she asked, "Is the person leaving? But did you ask you to help Jingyan talk to you?"
Mu Yun looked at her and chuckled, "You are so smart, so naturally you can guess it right away." At this time, Yin Liu came in and asked, "Madam, how should you deal with the things Mrs. Cheng sent?"
After thinking for a while, Mu Yun said, "You clean up first and put it aside. I'll check it out in two days."
Yuan Chuzhi looked up at her and said, "You don't go and see it first. I guess the gift Mrs. Cheng will definitely not be lighter this time."
Mu Yun replied without caring, "No matter whether he is light or heavy, aren't those things on both sides? There is nothing to be rare about."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chuzhi smiled: "Our Mrs. Wen is so rich now. Listen to the words of this nouveau riche!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Yun was about to have someone to serve the meal when he heard the maid come in and report, "Madam Mu is here." Mu Yun hurriedly ordered the maid to invite someone in.
Yuan Chuzhi sighed lightly: "I'm really not the time to come today. Seeing that you are busy, you are really busy at home!"
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Didn't I just moved to a new housework?"
As they spoke, the two had already moved into the flower hall. As soon as they sat down, Jingwen smiled and brought the maid in. Two stout women behind her carried a large box in.
Jingwen saw Yuan Chuzhi beside Mu Yun and greeted her a little embarrassedly: "I have seen the princess, but I didn't expect that the princess is here too. It was a coincidence that I came here."
Yuan Chuzhi chuckled and said, "What's wrong with this?" Then he glanced at the box, and then said angrily: "I understand, it must be that you have something rare. You just want to respect your old master. Without my share, right?"
Jingwen panicked: "How can I forget the princess? But I came to my wife first, and I was a little disrespectful. I beg the princess not to remember the villain's past..."
