"What does he want to do?"
Seeing this, the people around him began to whisper again.
"Could it be that he wants to touch the Crown Prince?"
"That is the chief minister of the current dynasty and the future emperor's master. Zhao Ping wouldn't dare to do this even if he holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand, right?"
"Haha, so what if you are the chief minister of the dynasty?"
"Even the current prince was tied up by him, and even the queen was held to her neck with a knife. What does the prince and the tutor mean?"
"What on earth does Zhao Ping want to do?"
"His Majesty's body has not been seen, his life and death are unknown, and the crown prince ascended the throne. It was considered a rebellion. It is understandable that he stood up to stop it."
"But what does this have to do with the Qian family?"
"Haha, don't you know this? Our queen is the adopted daughter of the Qian family. She instigated the prince to ascend the throne and was greatly bewitched by the Qian family, so Zhao Ping ordered the arrest of Qian Shi."
"What about the six ministerial books?"
"Not sure."
"It's probably just what the Queen said nonsense."
"why?"
"Trying to confuse Zhao Ping and make him offend more people, so that everyone may unite to deal with Zhao Ping."
"What about the Crown Prince? The Queen didn't say his name."
"I don't know. Let's take a look first. We'll understand in a moment."
"..."
Zhao Ping stood in front of Mu Chen and asked indifferently: "Are you the current Crown Prince and Tutor Mu Chenmu?"
"Yes, it's me."
Mu Chen replied.
"Do you know the crime?" Zhao Ping asked.
"I am aware of my guilt."
Mu Chen drooped his head and said in shame.
He actually knew his crime?
The people around him started making noise again, completely unaware of what crime Mu Chen had committed.
You know, when the queen encouraged the prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Mu Chen didn't care.
In other words, he didn't interfere.
Where does the sin come from?
Even Chen Xuan touched his chin, unable to figure out the key.
In the capital, he also deployed his own men, and the news came that Mu Chen did not rebel with the queen.
His loyalty is only to His Majesty and not to anyone else.
It was precisely because of this that he removed Mu Shangwu from his official position as Commander-in-Chief of Soldiers and Horses, and planned to bring him to the capital and arrange another high-level position for him.
Of course, he also wanted to see if he would force Mu Chen to rebel if he reduced Mu Shangwu's official position.
Now Mu Chen has confessed.
Where is his sin?
Zhao Ping was also confused and asked suspiciously: "What crime are you guilty of?"
"I……"
Mu Chen was stunned.
what's the situation?
Didn't you ask me if I knew I was guilty?
Moreover, you are holding Shang Fang's sword in your hand, as if His Majesty is here in person. As a minister, you will naturally feel guilty.
Only after confessing can I gain His Majesty's forgiveness.
Guilty reduced, acquittal.
But how can I confess now?
Did you say that you encouraged the prince to ascend the throne?
This is completely unheard of.
He said that he collaborated with his younger brother Mu Shangwu to control the government, and after the prince became emperor, he planned to become an auxiliary minister?
That's also a matter of no shadow.
What to do?
Muchen, a monk two feet tall, was scratching his head.
After careful consideration, he said respectfully to the Shang Fang sword in Zhao Ping's hand: "Your Majesty, I am the prince's tutor, and my main task is to teach the prince to become a talented person."
"But now the prince has listened to the slander and mistakenly believed that His Majesty was dead. He should go to Yuzhou to receive His Majesty's body and observe filial piety for His Majesty."
"However, the prince chose to succeed to the throne. It is really my fault and I did not teach the prince well."
"I am guilty."
"And during this period, the queen also met with the old minister to discuss the crown prince's enthronement."
"Although the veteran did not contribute to help them, he did not stop them."
"I have committed a serious crime and I hope your Majesty will punish you severely."
"Did you really say that?"
Zhao Ping was speechless for a while and muttered softly.
"Didn't you ask me to say that?"
Mu Chen was also quite speechless.
how?
I followed your words, is there anything wrong?
"I just wanted to deceive you."
Zhao Ping said.
"After all, this is my first time in the capital, and I'm not familiar with the situation here."
"How can we know who is guilty? Who is not guilty?"
"Of course, you use words to deceive. Those who are weak-willed, like you, directly confessed the crime."
"I……"
Mu Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.
Why does this bastard try every possible means to deceive people?
Can Qiaoqiao live a good life by following such a person?
Do you want to stop one or two?
"Master Mu, let me ask you, if you are given another chance, will you stop the prince?"
Zhao Ping raised his voice so that everyone present could hear him.
"meeting."
Mu Chen said without hesitation.
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Zhao Ping sighed: "Fortunately, you did not make any big mistake. In this case, I will punish you on behalf of His Majesty."
"Just half a year's salary."
"Are you convinced?"
"Old minister, thank you for your kindness."
Mu Chen was very excited.
Zhao Ping's words meant that he was removed from this matter.
No matter whether His Majesty is dead or not.
Regardless of whether the prince can ascend the throne or not, Mu Chen can remain invincible.
The people around me stared at him.
Is this okay? !
But I did learn.
They did the same when it was their turn.
The corners of His Majesty Chen Xuan's mouth curved up again, showing a smile and murmuring secretly.
"Yes, yes, this punishment suits me very well."
"It's just a little strange. I arranged for someone to know in advance that Mu Chen had no intention of rebellion. How did Zhao Ping know that?"
"Is it because of Mu Qiaoqiao?"
"Or is there someone else he arranged?"
"If it's the latter, it's really scary to think about it."
"People are still developing in Xiping Village, but the road has already been paved to the capital. You are very ambitious."
"Do you want to be more defensive?"
"Let's take a look."
"This kid is really getting more and more angry with me. Even if he is wrong, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, I can choose to turn a blind eye."
Zhao Ping ignored the opinions of outsiders and continued to ask Mu Chen, "Master Mu, can we discuss something?"
"What's the matter?"
Mu Chen said: "Mr. Zhao is representing His Majesty at the moment. If you have any needs, just ask and I will do my best to help you."
"It's not about the moment."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "This is the official who wants to do a business with Master Mu."
"Doing business?"
Not only Mu Chen was stunned, but everyone around him was also stunned.
Even His Majesty Chen Xuan was stunned and stunned.
what's the situation?
I ordered you to disrupt the situation and bring out the people with two minds in the court. How did you start doing business here?
Do you still have me in your eyes?
But if you think about it carefully, Zhao Ping's move is actually very good.
After all, Zhao Ping is just a small seventh-grade wine taster, and has never been to the capital, so he has no way of connecting with the Mu family.
Doing business with the Mu family is extremely difficult.
And now he is using his power to negotiate business with the Mu family. Not only can the negotiation be easily concluded, but he can also get a lot of benefits.
He is indeed a business genius.
From now on, the merchants of the Dawei Dynasty would be in charge of him.
I hope he will not let me down.
"good."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "Master Mu is the Crown Prince and Tutor, a first-class official in the current dynasty, and the future Emperor's Master, with overwhelming power."
"By doing business with you, I will have a background."
"Whether it's local or in the capital, no one dares to bully an official easily."
"Besides, the Mu family also has a Qingzhou commander named Mu Shangwu, the commander-in-chief of the army and horses. If anyone is dissatisfied, we can directly send troops to suppress them until they are convinced."
Forehead!
Mu Chen almost choked to death.
He hurriedly stopped him and said: "This won't work, this won't work. Although my brother has soldiers and horses in his hands, they are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and must obey His Majesty's orders."
"How can you bully others at will?"
"Oh, so it can't be like this?"
Zhao Ping was slightly disappointed, but continued: "Those are not important."
"The important thing is that your Mu family has a Pinxiang restaurant, which can be found throughout the entire Dawei Dynasty."
"The official wants to sell you the acacia wine."
"Then your Yipinxiang Restaurant will sell it to outsiders, and the profits will be divided between our two families. What do you think?"
