It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 606

Mu Liuyun took the old prince Yuan's words seriously, and there was already a sense of unease floating in the capital right now, all kinds of news of unknown origin were flying all over the sky, some were true, some were false, and some were half-truths and half-false.

So in the final analysis, what is the situation outside now, and what direction things are going in, it is hard to say.

"My lord, since that's the case, you should stay in the mansion more from now on, it should be safer." Mu Liuyun reminded old lord Yuan with some worry that the situation outside is complicated now, and how it will develop is not something that anyone can do. Absolutely manipulating the left and right, no one can guarantee whether there will be any sudden side effects. In this case, it is still necessary to be safe.

The old prince waved his hand, and said with a light smile: "It's okay! I'm a bad old man with no real power in his hands. No one would want to do anything to me! If Mu'er is now a fan of a certain party outside Well, maybe someone will try to hold me, an old man, to blackmail him, a young man, and ask him to help him or something.

Now Mu'er himself is a prisoner, and was thrown into prison by the emperor's wrath. There is no one in the whole capital who is willing to intercede for me. At this juncture, if anyone wants to give me Take away, you can't blackmail anyone, and you have to eat and drink to support me, it's not cost-effective, no one would do such a stupid thing! "

It was the first time Mu Liuyun saw the optimism and calmness of the old county king Yuan, and his eyes were really opened. He thought to himself, although the father and son Yuan Mu and the old county king are completely different in temperament, Yuan Mu has the ability to remain calm. It is in the same line as the old county king.

In the past two days, the rumors about the gathering of troops of unknown origin outside the city had been spread in the dark, and turned into streets and alleys. Even the vendors in the market were talking about it, Mr. Yuan The king of the county brought back a new piece of news——Wu Zhiqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, led a group of troops straight to the city gate, and detained all the soldiers who had been guarding the city, as if they were ready to open the city gate at any time.

What shocked many nobles in the capital even more was that the person who sent someone with him to imprison the city guards who refused to give up their resistance turned out to be the deputy commander of the imperial imperial army, the one who had come to the house to arrest Master Mu before. Deputy Commander Chen.

The appearance of Wu Zhiqiu and Deputy Commander Chen caused an uproar and panic among the nobles in the capital who were only faintly uneasy at first, and then there was news that Vice Commander Chen and Deputy Commander Wu Zhiqiu were colluding with the troops outside the city. They colluded with each other and intended to rebel, and Wu Zhiqiu really opened the gate of the city wide, ready to welcome people from outside to come in at any time.

This matter shocked the new emperor, he was so frightened that he fell ill in the palace, locked himself and a few servants in the bedroom, refused to show up for life and death, and did not go to court early, leaving only the few remaining Most of them were still guarding the palace gate of the dead head of the Imperial Army who did not leave with Vice Commander Chen.

The King's Mansion of Zhongyong County had just heard the news, and a group of imperial guards, led by several servants, came to the King's Mansion of Zhongyong County and surrounded the King's Mansion. Several young servants were arrogant Standing at the gate, he passed on the new emperor's oral order, saying that the king of Zhongyong County is not allowed to ask others to intercede. He was not implicated before because he had saved the first emperor back then. If he continues to try to hook up with others, He immediately executed Yuan Mu.

Faced with such a situation, King Zhongyong naturally didn't dare to say anything more, he didn't dare to take a breath even after he agreed, he had to keep smiling, and at the end he had to invite those coaxing servants into the mansion. Serve good tea, take out silver cakes and order them one by one.

Those servants were not polite to him, they put silver pancakes into their bosoms, and drank good tea when they brought them. Before they could drink a cup of tea, the steward of Zhongyong County Prince's Mansion hurried away from the outside. return.

"My lord, just now I heard something outside. It is said that Mr. Wu colluded with the faction of abolishing the emperor and grandson. He intended to cooperate with the outside world. He rushed into the capital and surrounded the palace to force the emperor to abdicate! At this moment, Mr. Xie Chongguang from the Ministry of Punishment is gathering People and horses, get ready to go escort them!" The steward was out of breath, and said in a panic, only to find that there were several people dressed as palace servants in the living room, he was shocked, and stood in the yard at a loss inside.

When the head servant heard this, he quickly put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up and asked the steward, "Is your news true?"

The steward glanced at the prince next to him, and said timidly: "It's absolutely true, it was Lord Xie Chongguang who posted the notice outside!"

The servants looked at me and I looked at you, and immediately got up and left. The old county king hurriedly sent them out.

However, the servants left, but not all the imperial troops they had brought were taken away, and many of them were left to guard the county palace.

Because the capital is really not peaceful recently, there are many people who watched the excitement gathered on the originally quiet street in front of the Wangfu. They didn't know what was going to happen. He would sneak around the mansions of some dignitaries to see if he could hear anything.

Just now, after a few servants led the forbidden army to surround the palace of Zhongyong County, they immediately attracted a lot of people watching from a distance. Now that the servants left and the forbidden army was still there, there was a lot of discussion. What happened to the palace of Zhongyong County, who never acted like a monster in the capital?

On the side of Zhongyong County Prince's Mansion, after the servant left, the gate was closed tightly, no one came in and out, and the imperial guards were guarding the door with a tiger's face, and no one dared to approach it easily. The originally chaotic crowd gradually became quiet. scattered.

In the palace, there was a dead silence.

This is not a noisy and lively place, but it was more or less popular in the harem at first, but now there is no sound at all, no maids walking around, and no one can be seen everywhere .

In the sleeping hall, behind layers of veils, on a couch, a man was lying on his side, wearing a moon-white robe, with one hand supporting his head, and the other holding a book , seems to be reading without distraction.

The door of the dormitory behind him was pushed open, and there were crackling sounds, and someone came in.

The man's ears moved slightly, and instead of turning his head away, he tilted his face slightly and glanced towards the door. He saw someone closing the door with small steps. look.

The man turned his face back, and continued to look at the volume in his hand, until he heard the light footsteps getting closer and closer to this side, and had passed two layers of veils, then he pulled his attention away from the volume, slightly He frowned.
