Chapter 753 I understand(1/2)
Mu Mingyuan has been running around these days.
He has investigated clearly and found out that the first person to have evil thoughts and take action against the Sang family woman was his precious son. He knew in his heart that unless this matter was not investigated, Mu Yong's life would be in danger.
He wrote the memorial overnight and was willing to donate his family property, only begging for his son's life.
He was ready to kneel in front of the palace gate for a long time, but before he could kneel for half an hour, the emperor summoned him.
This raised hope in Mu Mingyuan's heart.
When they met, the emperor was on the high throne, looking down at Mu Mingyuan who was kneeling on the ground. His eyes were cold and sharp, like an old eagle.
Mu Mingyuan felt heavy pressure and did not dare to raise his head.
He had thousands of pleas for mercy in his heart, but he couldn't even say them out.
It was probably the first time that he felt such heavy pressure from the emperor's authority. It was also the first time that he deeply realized that the emperor was as powerful as a tiger!
The emperor sentenced quickly, and those people dealt with it quickly.
Mu Yong has not returned to Mu Mansion since the fly incident. He was taken directly from the Nancheng Capital Prison to the Jingzhao Yin Prison, and then to the Penal Department Prison, and then was directly exiled.
With the barbed character, everyone knows that this was an exiled sinner.
Those who are physically disabled or disfigured in appearance cannot serve as officials!
Ever since Mu Qingyu wanted to take away Pei Yi's dowry, life in Mu's mansion suddenly became stretched. Pei Yi's dowry shop, property and other items were all very profitable before, but they were managed by Kong Yijia. Although they continued to shrink, they were still
With income.
But later, Pei Ji took out the books kept by the Civil Affairs Bureau and took them away. Mu's property was suddenly reduced by two-thirds.
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
He is truly cruel and ruthless, but he doesn't have the means.
The emperor's tone was so kind, which gave Mu Mingyuan a glimmer of hope, and he kowtowed even more seriously: "I am willing to compensate the Sang family!"
Can you rob civilians? Regular customers of brothels? He doesn’t know!
There are many things that the emperor can understand, but being able to understand does not prevent him from cutting people's heads off at all.
The emperor smiled, but his eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Really?"
"Your Majesty, my son is young, please give him a way to survive!"
Mu Mingyuan is dull, one hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of silver!!
Mu Mingyuan almost popped his eyes out of his sockets. He was caught off guard and shocked and frightened. He wanted to say no, but his lips murmured and he couldn't say it. He didn't dare to admit it. The emperor was still on the throne and had already gone to support the prince. In private
You can do this, and if you look at it openly, a few of his heads won’t be enough to chop him off!
The emperor smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid of being like this." He patted his shoulder and said with a comforting look on his face: "I can understand the skill of following the dragon!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Mingyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he would not be punished.
Mu Mingyuan was also desperate. It was three thousand miles away and it was inevitable for his son to endure hardships. However, as long as he lived, he would not be considered a descendant.
How did that good-for-nothing Kong Yijia teach his son?
Of course they can still get the one hundred thousand taels of silver, but after taking it out, they will have a hard time.
Mu Yong lost a lot of weight.
The emperor hummed and said, "Step back!"
Mu Mingyuan didn't dare to admit it, and said hurriedly: "It is true, even if I borrow ten thousand courages from you, I would not dare to deceive you!"
Mu Mingyuan really didn't know what the emperor meant. He also understood that the impact of this incident was too great. Maybe his Yong'er would be pulled out to sacrifice to heaven!
He could only continue to kowtow: "Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
The emperor sighed and said: "Is it only the Sang family that you need to compensate? Because your son was humiliated when I received the envoys of the Western Tang Dynasty. The prince of the Western Tang Dynasty laughed at me that the laws of the Eastern Xia Dynasty were just decorations. These, thousands of
What is two taels of silver? I am short of this thousand taels of silver?"
The emperor looked at him and said in a more serious tone: "Can I still memorize "Book of Rites. University"?"
"Poisoning Yuan Pei's wife and helping his wife to ascend to the throne, is this what you call cultivating his body?" The emperor's tone suddenly became sharp!
Mu Mingyuan was shocked. He had administered a chronic poison. It took a full year for the poison to slowly kill Pei Yi. He was unaware of it. How could the emperor know about it?
He knew that he knew, but he could never admit it: "I'm wronged, Your Majesty. Although I helped the foreign minister to ascend to the throne, it was because Zhuo Jing was in poor health and died of illness. I dare not say that my love for Zhuo Jing is as deep as the sea, but
I can’t forget the feeling of getting married. Even now, I often think of her. There has never been such a thing as poisoning!”
Then, very quickly, the emperor's verdict came down.
Even if he can find a way to get the person back, don't expect his Yong'er to be as high as him when he goes out in the future.
The emperor said: "It's not impossible to be merciful. Let's do this. I'll give you two choices!"
Mu Mingyuan sweated on his forehead and said cautiously: "I...I did it!"
"You mean to say that his faults are not all due to him. First, he is young, second, he is negligent in discipline, and third, he has companions to instigate him?"
She had never received such a cold reception, and tears flowed down her face.
The emperor added: "My companions are teasing me? Is that because he is soft-hearted, or is he just following the current? Why is he being bullied when others are not bullied?"
In the past two days, Mu Mingyuan's attitude towards her was extremely bad, and she did not dare to approach Mu Mingyuan.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
But now, in front of the servants of the house, she didn't save any face.
Mu Mingyuan: "..."
One emperor and one courtier.
A feeling of disgust rose in his heart. The gentleness and sweetness that he usually valued made him feel irritated. With a wave of his hand and a snap, Kong Yijia's face tilted to one side. Then, he shouted coldly:
"I haven't settled the score with you yet. Who allowed you to come out? Go back to your yard and stay there. You are not allowed to come out without my order!"
I also slapped her a few days ago, but at least it was only two people and no outsiders were present.
It's a pity that Mu Mingyuan, who usually came to comfort her when she frowned, just gave her a cold look and left.
Why did he talk about his son, then move to his late wife, and then talk about his private side?
He could only lie on the ground, his mind spinning wildly, what did the emperor mean?
Mu Mingyuan was immediately frightened and said with a trembling tone: "Yes!"
The emperor stood up and sighed quietly: "Mu Qing, it's not that I didn't give your son a way to live, it's that you didn't give others a way to live! Look, you brought so many people to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion with broken legs and old age.
Pei Ji was dragged on the ground like a dog, and he went there every day, stuffing mud into his mouth. Did I say anything? Your son led people to beat those civilians and rob them of the money they depended on for survival. One of the couples
His legs were also broken, did I say anything? Your son lost a bet with someone, beat his only son in the eye, and his father sued me, did I say anything? As long as no one was killed,
It's all easy to handle, don't you think? The problem is that your son got killed!"
The emperor stood up, sat down slowly on the royal steps, walked to Mu Mingyuan, squatted down, and looked at him levelly. On a face that had been stained by the wind and frost of the years, the smile was quite strong, and he said leisurely: "
You've already voted for Chengye, right?"
The emperor snorted and said, "Be merciful? How do you think I should be merciful in this situation?"
Mu Mingyuan knew clearly his son's crime, and if it was found out, he would die. He murmured: "Your Majesty, where is the second one?"
He was already depressed enough, and Kong Yijia even ran to him to question him. Although he could understand that Kong Yijia cared about his son, he thought that the reason why his son became like this was because of Kong Yijia's connivance.
After a while, the emperor said calmly: "Mu Mingyuan, you have raised a good son!"
She grabbed Mu Mingyuan: "Master, you said that Yong'er will be fine after taking the money. Is that okay? Ci Pei, tattoo on your face, three thousand miles of exile. How far is three thousand miles? It's so far.
How can Yong'er endure it? If he still refuses to be pardoned, doesn't this mean that Yong'er will never come back?"
Mu Mingyuan rolled his eyes, desperately thinking of words to excuse his son, and muttered: "Your Majesty, I am busy with official duties and neglect to educate my son. I would like to ask Your Majesty to remember that he is young, does not know the importance, and has some problems."
It was his companions who encouraged him to make a big mistake."
"Then you carry it back to me and I'll listen!"
But now, he actually slapped her.
"First, act according to the law and do whatever you want. If your son's crime does not lead to death, I will not take his life!"
Mu Mingyuan choked back his voice: "...In ancient times, those who wanted to show virtue to the world first governed their country; those who wanted to govern their country, first organized their families; those who wanted to regulate their families, first cultivated their bodies; those who wanted to cultivate their families,
To rectify the body, one must first rectify one's mind; if one wants to rectify one's mind, one must first be sincere in one's mind; if one wants to be sincere in one's mind, one must first know, and knowing can be achieved by studying things. After studying things, one will know, after knowing, one will be sincere, and after one's mind is sincere, one's heart will be honest.
Righteousness means cultivating one's body after one's mind is right, cultivating one's body then bringing order to the family, bringing order to the family and then governing the country, and then governing the country and then bringing peace to the world. From the emperor to the common people, self-cultivation is the foundation of everything. Isn't it right to have chaos at the beginning but not rule at all..."
Kong Yijia was always unfavorable in front of Mu Mingyuan and always frowned. Mu Mingyuan felt extremely distressed. A gentle smile made his bones melt. No matter how big the matter was, he pushed the person to the bed.
Gou, Mu Mingyuan won't care about it anymore. For example, back then, she lost Mu Mingyuan's concubine Mu Huangfeng...
The emperor glanced at him and said slowly: "Tell me, how can I make up for it?"
Thinking that Mu Yong is his only son, if there is any good or evil, then Mu Mingyuan will be the last to have any descendants.
If it were him, even if he killed someone or did something evil, he would never leave anyone with any clues. He would eradicate the roots without leaving any trouble!
Otherwise, how could he be so passive?
