Lonely non-good minister

Little Shen didn't say anything. She understood what Song Chun meant. He supported Song Yuan in marrying Mu Wantang as his first wife.

"Although my father, emperor and mother are on my side, I am far from being able to interfere in Yuan'er's marriage, but I still want to ask Empress Shen to help Yuan'er, and not to leave any regrets for him." Song Chun said in a sincere tone.

Little Shen just nodded lightly: "I will put A Yuan's thoughts first."

Song Chun was relieved: "You don't have to worry about Yuan'er's impeachment. It happened for a reason. I know his difficulties. It would be the same for me. No matter how others impeach him, I will defend him."

"I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of Ayuan." Mrs. Shen knelt down and bowed.

Song Chun hurriedly helped her up, and when she stood up, he hurriedly took two steps away: "I have already gone to Xinxi Northwest to ask the people there to protect Yuan'er more. Such a dangerous thing will never happen again. You and me Peace of mind.”

Little Shen was surprised for a moment and was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of our mother and son like this. I will definitely ask Ayuan to do things well for Your Highness and share your worries."

"You don't have to be so polite with me. As Yuan'er becomes stronger, your life will be easier. I just ask you to feel at ease."

His last words were spoken very softly, but Xiao Shen's heart tightened, and she hurriedly walked away as if nothing had happened.

Chunyang was so frightened that his face changed slightly, and he dared to take a cautious look at Xiao Shen's face after walking far away. Neither the master nor the servant dared to say anything.

Song Chun's promises have always been true. For this reason, when the papers to impeach Song Yuan were once again delivered to him, he suppressed them all.

"Colluding with the Huns? Where does this crime begin?" Song Chun stood next to the table, pressing the pile of impeachment memorials with his elbow and staring at Duke Mu.

Most of these excerpts were written by officials who were close friends with the state of Mu, so it would be most direct to ask him.

Duke Mu sat motionless, and then the official behind him stood up: "Back to the prince, according to the verification of Tingwei Mansion, His Highness Ninth Prince bribed the Sixth Master with cotton, but the Sixth Master and the Eighth Master colluded with the Huns, and the exchanges between the two parties were There is also cotton among the property, so it can be seen that this batch of cotton was provided by His Highness Ninth Highness, and His Highness Ninth Highness must know about it."

"Why do you have to know about it?" Song Chun asked: "Is it possible that those who give bribes have to care about whose property ends up with them?"

He defended Song Yuan very much. The officials could not refute for a while, but someone else immediately said: "The Sixth Master and the Eighth Master colluded with the Huns, causing the Huns to frequently enter the country to harass the passing caravans, and demanded benefits to ensure the safety of the caravans. These are all Tingwei The crime confirmed by the government, His Highness Ninth Prince took the initiative to pay bribes to protect the merchants, because he knew that the Sixth and Eighth Masters had such connections. With His intelligence and talents, it would be impossible to say that the cotton would be sold to the Xiongnu. If the prince doesn’t believe it, let Tingwei Mansion use this as a starting point to investigate carefully, and there will be evidence.”

Song Chun's expression turned ugly: "If it is found out, we will be severely punished, but who among you will be responsible for taking over the civil affairs and judicial affairs of the northwest?"

As soon as this question was asked, the chattering officials immediately shut up.

Who would want to go to a poor, difficult and dangerous place like the northwest?In order to save Huo Ying, Song Yuan almost crossed the border, but he desperately saved Huo Ying and was injured before capturing a Huns alive. Who in the whole dynasty didn't know?Moreover, her achievements in civil affairs are obvious to all. Who can guarantee that she will do better than her?

Once you think about these reasons, no one dares to take the lead easily.

"Prince, I am incompetent and cannot accept the errands of His Highness Ninth Highness. However, just because His Highness Ninth Highness has outstanding abilities, we cannot ignore his sins. If this sets a precedent, how can we restrain officials in the future? Please think twice, Prince." Song Chun, who was hating him, looked even worse: "He is not capable of doing things well, but he still criticizes those who are capable. If he focuses more on finding fault with others and focusing on political affairs, he can also benefit the people more."

This was said so rudely that the official who spoke was irritated and several people looked embarrassed.

"Prince." Sikong stood up: "I believe that His Highness the Ninth Highness bribed for a reason, and the root of the blame lies with the Sixth and Eighth Masters. Even if His Highness the Ninth Highness was at fault, it was for the people of the northwest. It is undeniable that after the bribery, the merchants traveling to and from the Northwest gave money to the people of the Northwest. It has brought huge benefits, and the merits are more than offset by the faults.”

Someone immediately jumped out to object to this: "Even if there is a reason, it doesn't prove that His Highness the Ninth Prince is not working for the tiger. I believe that His Highness Ninth Prince bribed the Sixth Master deliberately to give the Sixth Master an opportunity to collude with the Huns and to set a trap for the Sixth Master."

As soon as he said this, the whole hall was silent, and several eyes fell on him.

"A trap for Song Bun?" This statement almost made Song Chun laugh angrily: "According to your opinion, did Song Bun collude with the Xiongnu or was it Song Yuan who facilitated it? Song Bun became the innocent person instead?"

The two rhetorical questions made the person who was about to speak startled and felt guilty, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no point in quibbling anymore. He could only bite the bullet and acquiesce.

"Absurd." The imperial censor couldn't stand listening anymore: "How many years have the Sixth Master and the Eighth Master been in the northwest? How many years has it been since the Ninth Prince has been in the Northwest? Can all this be blamed on him? I think you are trying to frame the Ninth Prince. Your Highness wants to exonerate Mr. Liu."

This accusation caused the expressions of several officials who were targeting Song Yuan to change. They were about to refute immediately, but the imperial censor did not give them this opportunity. He said, "Prince, the Ninth Prince paid the bribe to Tingwei Mansion." If it is verified, it should be dealt with how to deal with it according to the law, but his motive is also for the sake of the people of the northwest and the effect is clear, this credit must be counted, and I ask the prince to be clear about it."

This was what Song Chun liked to hear, but he did not make an immediate decision. Judging from the situation, there were many people targeting Song Yuan. These people not only targeted her, but also tried to implicate her in colluding with the Huns. Their intentions were sinister.

The matter was suppressed by Song Chun for the time being. After the small meeting, Song Chun deliberately stayed with Mu Guogong.

"Does the Duke still remember that he recognized his granddaughter Mu Wantang?" Song Chun's attitude was still aloof. Although he valued the strength of the Duke's palace, he would not overly praise them, even if he accepted Mu Guogong's grandson. When a daughter is Liangdi, she will not really put herself in the position of a junior.

Duke Mu replied politely: "Of course I remember."

"The late Emperor's favor gave her the treatment of a county prince, and also allowed her the right to be an equal wife. Although she is a concubine, she is more beautiful than many official wives." Song Chun first put pressure on her, and then said: "But she is a Blessed is now also doing business in the northwest, and has many interactions with Yuan'er."

Duke Mu listened quietly and did not dare to answer the question casually.

"Yuan'er folded up, asked for a title for her, and wanted to marry her as his wife." Song Chun glanced sideways: "What does the Duke think of this marriage?"

Mu Guogong's wrinkled face was slightly startled, and he spoke in a humble tone: "Although I recognize her as my granddaughter, she comes from a side businessman's family. How can she be a good match for His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"What? Are you questioning Gu Yu Yuan'er's vision?"
