Prosperous advisors

Chapter 261 The Execution Ground Question (3)
Mu Qingyi looked up at Murong Xie, clearly seeing the excitement and eagerness hidden in his eyes.Shaking his head, he poured cold water on him mercilessly, "It's too late, my lord. I just broke Prince Gong. If my lord wants to take action against other princes, I'm afraid His Majesty is not willing to see it."

Murong Xie was taken aback, sighed and said: "My lord, how could this king not know? But...even if this king doesn't take action, how can the eighth younger brother let me go?" These days, Concubine Rong in the palace seems to be quite nervous. Being favored, His Majesty has planned to canonize Concubine Rong as a noble concubine.In this way, among all the princes, apart from King Ping Murong Xi, Murong Zhao has the highest status.These days, Murong Zhao also seems to be a bit provocative.

Murong Xie knew that his eighth brother had grown up and began to understand the benefits of power.Behind Murong Xi, there was still a mansion of a great general protecting the country, and a high-ranking concubine Rong.Such an advantage is by no means something that Murong Xie can match.It's no wonder that Murong Xie couldn't hold on anymore.

Mu Qingyi casually tapped on the side of the table thinking about it, and then smiled lightly after a while: "Since this is the case, the prince's tone is focused on fighting, why not help His Majesty solve a difficult problem first. After all, compared to the prince who only knows how to fight for power with his brother , maybe His Majesty would prefer a prince who can do things but has no ambitions."

"Problem?" Murong Xie was taken aback, Zhu's family was punished, and although the sixth younger brother disappeared, there was nothing wrong with it. What problem could the emperor have now?
Mu Qingyi lightly reminded: "Mr. Gu. The truth about Murong Yu's case of framing Gu's family has been revealed, but how should we deal with Gu's family? If it is normal for your majesty, your majesty can give grace to the descendants of Gu's family, but now the Gu family has died. There is no one left. It is not likely to be Jia En and His Highness King Ping, right? His Highness King Ping is now the prince, and if he goes further, he can only restore the position of prince; uh. Not to mention the body of His Highness King Ping, I am afraid that His Majesty himself will not How would you like it? Then you can only chase after the people of the Gu family, and besides, His Majesty has punished himself."

"An Edict of Guilt?" Murong Xie was terrified. The Edict of Guilt was an edict for the emperor to show his mistakes to the world.Although this may leave the impression that the emperor knows his mistakes and can correct them, it also makes people all over the world remember the mistakes made by the emperor.Therefore, no emperor in the past would be willing to issue an edict unless it was absolutely necessary.But in the current situation in the capital, the imperial concubine poisoned the empress and the prince, one prince absconded all the time, and one prince died for no apparent reason, plus the Gu family's affairs, the royal family's reputation is really uglier than a rag.In addition, petitioners from all over the country are still flooding into the capital like a flood. If the emperor doesn't express anything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it.

After hesitating for a while, Murong Xie said: "Is the imperial edict...too serious?"

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "King Zhi doesn't believe in fate, and within two or three days at the latest, His Majesty will definitely propose to issue an imperial edict."

Murong Xie frowned, apparently not believing Mu Qingyi's words.His own father, Emperor Murong Xie, still has some understanding.What Emperor Hua loves the most is his own face as a king, how could he slap himself in the face and issue an imperial edict?Doesn't issuing an edict of guilt mean admitting that what happened to the Gu family back then was all his fault?Now the matter of the Gu family has spread among the people.In this way, I am afraid that it will be even more unbearable to be arranged by those literati.

"Young Master, is it really my own guess? This is a bit...Father will never..." Murong Xie hesitated.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty certainly won't, he just wanted to show his intention to issue an imperial edict."

"Young Master, what do you mean?" Murong Xie's eyes lit up.

Mu Qingyi said indifferently: "Nowadays, the people in the court are excited. Once His Majesty opens his mouth to say that he wants to punish himself, there must be a large number of people who agree. At that time... His Majesty will definitely not be able to step down."

Murong Xie had already figured it out, and said: "If at that time, this king strongly persuaded the father to withdraw his will, and even went to pay homage to the Gu family instead of the father..."

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Your Highness is wise."

Murong Xie frowned and said: "But in this way, my king's reputation..." It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor has lost his morals regarding the matter of the Gu family, as well as these messy things in the royal family today.The emperor must be happy that he is willing to issue an imperial edict to civil and military officials, especially those censors, but he who obstructs this matter is likely to offend those sour scholars and scholars at censor platform.

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Sacred favor and fame are like fish and bear's paw. You can't have both. My lord, I'm sorry to say that things like fame...are too much. Wasn't His Highness Prince Ping's reputation bad back then?"

Murong Xie's heart trembled, and he looked at Mu Qingyi seriously for a long time before getting up, and bowed respectfully to Mu Qingyi and said, "After listening to what the young master said, this king just realized what he said. Thank you, young master, for your guidance."

Mu Qingyi's words really woke up Murong Xie.Who dares to say that His Highness the Crown Prince had a bad reputation?Both civil and military, humble, diligent and caring for the people, Murong Xi back then was simply a model for the crown princes of all dynasties.Almost everyone can imagine that if such a crown prince succeeds in enthroning, he will definitely be a wise king of Huaguo in the future, and may even create a generation of prosperity.

But so what?No matter how good a reputation is, it is nothing but a word from the emperor.As an emperor, reputation is naturally extremely important, but as a prince... the trust and favor of the emperor is everything.

Mu Qingyi stood up and stepped aside, "The King Zhi's words are serious."

Murong Xie looked at the young man in white in amazement.He is less than 15 years old, has a handsome appearance and an unrivaled demeanor.More importantly, such intellect and mind are rare in the world.Murong Xie suddenly thought of a word - Guoshi Wushuang.If such a wonderful character can be taken under his command...

This period of time was too busy, Murong Xie immediately decided to find out the details of Zhang Qing as soon as possible.If it is true that his background is innocent, even if he condescends to ask him to please him, he will definitely make this young man work for him.It is a blessing for such a character to be a friend, but if it is an enemy, it must be the greatest disaster.

Seeing Murong Xie's thoughtful appearance, Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and didn't care what he was thinking.Soon...they won't have to say goodbye.But now, what she was more curious about was what Murong Yu was planning to do.

Sure enough, what Mu Qingyi expected was true.The next morning, Emperor Shanghua half-truthfully proposed to issue an edict to punish himself.Naturally, it aroused the praise of the civil servants, but these Qingliu did not see the distorted face of the emperor in the palace.

Although a few close ministers who are good at observing words and expressions may have guessed what the emperor meant.But under the unfavorable opinion of the public, they have to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Isn't there a saying-the law does not blame the public.The emperor can't cut off all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty in a fit of anger, right?It's interesting that they didn't follow suit.
