Chapter 429 The Power of the Emperor (2)
Mu Qingyi said indifferently: "Does King Qin think that King Yu can conjure up a mansion in the blink of an eye to bring order to the people? Or is it that King Yu can bring these displaced people back to the capital on foot? I paid Chen Yuanwai 1 taels of silver notes. Apart from buying food, renting the house for one night is more than enough. Since Chen Yuanwai received the silver taels, how can it be said that the king of Yu forcibly occupied the house?"

"You...you are arguing!" King Qin said harshly.

Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and remained calm.In the eyes of everyone, it is self-evident whose words are more convincing, one who is out of breath and one who is calm and calm.

Standing aside, Rong Jin didn't interrupt, but looked at Mu Qingyi who was talking eloquently and refutingly for him with gentle eyes.I just feel that the Qingqing at this moment is incomparably dazzling.It made him want to hide her but he couldn't bear to hide even a little bit of her light.

Rong Yan and Rong Xuan who were next to each other looked at each other, and there was a look of amazement in their eyes.This Gu Liuyun's good tongue at a young age is not aggressive, but invisibly it makes people have nowhere to retreat.First, he forced Rong Huai to admit that he was dissatisfied with Rong Jin, and then he began to refute Rong Jin's behavior.Regardless of whether Rong Jin's behavior was right or wrong in the end, it at least showed that what Rong Jin did was for the people and for His Majesty the Emperor.But at the same time, it reflects the late prince Rong Huai's indifference to the common people, and the jealousy and resentment of his younger uncle.Looking at Rong Huai's weird expressions on the opposite side of the ministers, and Prime Minister Zhou's dejected expression, you can tell that no matter what Rong Huai says, there is no way to restore the decline.

Sure enough, Emperor Xiyue glanced at Rong Huai with some displeasure, and said coldly: "King Qin, what else do you want to say?"

Rong Huai was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Grandson... I have nothing to say!" What else can I say?Said that the imperial grandfather favored Rong Jin?Rong Huai wasn't so confused yet.He is not stupid to say such things at this time, he is crazy.

Emperor Xiyue snorted softly and said: "You are not young anymore. If you have nothing to do, you should learn how to do things from your uncles. Don't think about what you have all day long. Your second uncle was already at your age. I have gone on several expeditions, and your fourth uncle has done a lot of great things at his age."

Rong Huai's face turned red when he heard this, but he almost wanted to vomit blood in his heart.Is it because he doesn't want to do something?Before the father passed away, the emperor's grandfather did not allow the emperor's grandsons to participate in the important affairs of the court. What can he do?He lived for more than 30 years, and he had never been in court before his father passed away. What big things can he do?
"Grandson, obey the order." Rong Huai gritted his teeth.

Only then did Emperor Xiyue nod his head, and cast a disgusted glance at the governor kneeling behind him, saying: "The governor of the imperial city was drunk and dereliction of duty, corrupted the law with corruption, and executed it! His family sent him to the border. Pull him down."

Knowing that he would die a long time ago, the Fu Yin was dragged down without even struggling.

After dealing with those who are an eyesore, it is natural to reward them.Emperor Xiyue looked at the people below with satisfaction and said: "This time, King Zhuang, King Duan, and King Yu have handled the matter very well. I am very pleased. King Zhuang and King Duan will each reward a thousand taels of gold and ten taels of precious jade." King Yu rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, ten pieces of precious jade, and one dendrobium of pearls. In addition, the Hall of Treasures chose three treasures. Gu Liuyun also rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold."

After some rewards, Rong Huai, who was going to do errands with Rong Xuan and Rong Yan, didn't get anything.Although it is said that Qin Wangfu is not short of the reward of the thousand taels of gold.But gold is one thing, but the emperor's reward is a matter of face.After completing the errand, everyone else has rewards but he doesn't. This in itself is a kind of slap in the face.It means that Emperor Xiyue is already quite dissatisfied with him.

Maybe it was made a little trouble by these descendants. After rewarding those who should be rewarded and scolding them, Emperor Xiyue drove everyone out with a wave of his hand.

At the gate of the palace, the princes still seemed to be in harmony.The only disharmony was King Qin who had just been severely reprimanded by Emperor Xiyue in the hall.

"Boss Gu is really eloquent. Uncle Nine Emperors is really lucky to have such a capable manager." Looking sideways at Mu Qingyi, Rong Huai said with a bit of yin and yang.

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course it's my king's blessing. You can't envy this kind of thing. Why don't you ask Zhou Xiang to find a few sharp-tongued butlers for you when Huai'er is free? So that the next time the imperial prelude is right, you won't even talk about it." I don't know. Zhou Xiang, do you think so?"

Rong Huai was furious, but was hurriedly pulled away by Zhou Xiang who was following behind.Rong Jin snorted disdainfully, and looked at Mu Qingyi innocently: Does this kind of trash need me to bother?

Mu Qingyi smiled: It's really not necessary. Although the power behind Rong Huai is not small, Rong Xuan and Rong Yan are not vegetarians, but they don't need to mix it up.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Gu, please stay." Behind him, Jiang Bin hastily chased him out.Jiang Bin was the confidant of Emperor Xiyue, and when he came out, everyone naturally stopped in their tracks and left in no hurry.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty summoned Mr. Gu." Jiang Bin said out of breath.

Rong Jin frowned slightly, looked down at Mu Qingyi and said, "I will accompany Ziqing to see you."

Jiang Bin wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and quickly stopped him and said, "His Royal Highness, His Majesty only summoned Mr. Gu alone, please His Highness..."

Rong Jin was displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Ziqing is not a subject of Xiyue, he is a friend of this king, why can't this king go with him?"

Jiang Bin had no choice but to say, "This... His Majesty said that he will take Mr. Gu alone." How can a servant like him guess what His Majesty thinks?He's just a messenger, Ninth Highness, please don't embarrass this slave.

Mu Qingyi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm sorry, father-in-law. I'll go with him to see you."

"Ziqing!" Rong Jin said in a deep voice.

Mu Qingyi raised her hand and patted his arm comfortingly, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go. The prince can wait for me outside the palace gate first." Rong Jin stared at Mu Qingyi closely, and after a while Gritting his teeth, he said, "This king is waiting for you here!"

Mu Qingyi smiled helplessly, turned to Jiang Bin and said, "Eunuch Jiang, please lead the way."

It took less than half a quarter of an hour to come out, and then turned back to the main hall.

"Grassman Gu Liuyun, kowtow to Your Majesty." In the center of the hall, Mu Qingyi bowed respectfully.

In the hall, Emperor Xiyue stared at her silently and did not say anything, Mu Qingyi also felt a burst of tension in her heart.This is the second time she has directly felt the gaze of Emperor Xiyue. Unlike the last time, this time all the pressure of Emperor Xiyue was concentrated on her alone, and a wave of imperial majesty overwhelmingly overwhelmed Mu Qing. Yi could only lower her eyes and persevere.No wonder even Rong Jin, who is as reckless as Rong Jin, is very afraid of this Emperor Xiyue who is now called a tyrant in the hearts of Xiyue people, so he can only do something secretly.Even though Emperor Xiyue no longer had the fame he had when he was young, his instinct as an emperor has not changed at all.
