Chapter 316 Killing Xie Jingmo
"You said that Prime Minister Yu is an important official of the court, but I feel that those who can stand in this Golden Throne Hall are all important officials."
"Why? You don't think so?"
"Or do you think people are divided into different classes? Lord Wang, you're still the Minister of Revenue. How can you, who only flatters the powerful and praises the weak, be worthy of being an official?"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue's face changed and he immediately knelt down, "Empress Dowager, I didn't mean that!"
"You! Yes, you, I'm talking about you! Yu Xiang is loyal and his heart is clear as day and night, isn't that what you said? Why are you looking away? If I were to say, people like you are the most vicious. With just one sentence, you've cursed everyone present!"
The man lowered his head and said, "I don't have any."
"No? You said Yu Xiang was loyal, so you mean that others are not loyal. For example, I have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, but you have framed me like this. How can I and my brothers behind me accept this?"
Hearing this, the man quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I did not mean that."
On Xie Jingmo's first day in court, he engaged in a debate with the crowd.
Those who defended Yu Xiang lowered their heads and did not dare to confront Xie Jingmo.
Everyone knows that this guy is a bastard. He relies on his military power and the fact that he is a prince, so no one dares to do anything to him.
Everyone present had something on their mind.
Especially these civil servants, their judgment of the situation has always been multi-dimensional.
The emperor is in poor health now. No one can say whether Prince Xie Jingmo will always be a prince. He does not need support from others. When he stands out with his military uniform, the people underground will naturally support him.
This is a master who cannot be offended.
Xie Jingmo crossed his arms, looked at everyone coldly, and sneered, "I didn't realize before that these people in the court are so good at talking. In the future, I will definitely learn a lesson from them!"
The word "learn from it" is used with extremely strong tone.
This made the ministers, who had just stood upright, tremble.
"General Xie, you have such a bad temper. You just came back and you've already embarrassed so many of your colleagues." Mu Chengyan sneered at the side.
Xie Jingmo sneered, "What? If the Regent has any objections, then you can speak up. I fought on the battlefield, shed my blood, and I'm afraid of you civil servants quibbling over words."
Mu Chengyan frowned, "You!"
"Alright," Yun Zhao said, sitting in the hall, full of majesty. "This is the imperial court. You two have a good relationship. Go back and keep in touch. If there is nothing else, dismiss the court!"
Yun Zhao used a little force to achieve a great result and followed Xie Jingmo's momentum.
Yu Xiang was stunned. When he came to his senses, Fu Hai was already standing there, stretching out his voice, "Withdraw from the court!"
At the palace gate.
Yu Xiang was furious. "Look at the court today, the two of them are collaborating! I said Xie Jingmo couldn't be allowed to return alive, but you said you liked seeing Xie Jingmo's helpless look, so you let him return safely from the Xiongnu. Now, he's debating with everyone in the court, openly supporting the soon-to-be-deposed Queen Mother! Tell me, what should we do now?!"
Mu Chengyan's face was cold and gloomy. "It's not too late to kill those who were not killed before."
Yu Xiang suddenly became quiet.
He looked at me with disdain, "Now? Are you kidding? This is the Forbidden City. If you want to kill Xie Jingmo, how much trouble will it cause if you find him?"
Mu Chengyan's eyes were gloomy, "Xie Jingmo must die!"
Yu Xiang twitched his lips and said, "Okay, but let me tell you, Xie Jingmo is not that easy to deal with. He is a martial arts expert. It would take more than a dozen people to hold him down."
Mu Chengyan: "Then call more people to lure Xie Jingmo out and kill him directly!"
Yu Xiang was quite worried.
After all, Xie Jingmo is not someone else, he is a descendant of the royal family.
Mu Chengyan glanced at him and said, "If your Yu family wants to have a successful career, Xie Jingmo, the meddler, must die."
Yu Xiang clenched his fists, "I understand, but Xie Jingmo has been hiding at Yun Zhao's place lately. Lure him out of the palace, and I'll get thirty assassins to kill him!"
Mu Chengyan nodded and said, "Wait!" After that, Mu Chengyan walked towards the palace.
When Mu Chengyan went to Yun Zhao's place, Xie Jingmo was not there.
He raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and asked Fu Hai, "Where is General Xie?"
Fu Hai was quite surprised. Before Mu Chengyan came, every time he saw Xie Jingmo, his eyes were not glasses and his nose was not a nose, and he was disgusted.
Now he actually asked.
"I went to the back mountain to catch thrush birds for the Queen Mother. Is there anything the Regent needs?"
Mu Chengyan nodded and said casually, "Well, there are some things about the invigilation that I need to discuss with him."
After Mu Chengyan finished speaking, he walked towards Yun Zhaoyu's study.
Fu Hai hurried to report.
Mu Chengyan's eyes turned cold.
In the past, he never needed to inform Yun Zhao when he went there, but now he has to be on guard against him.
It has changed.
However, Mu Chengyan had other more important things to do today and was too lazy to pursue these matters here.
He walked into the imperial study.
Yun Zhao sat in the upper seat.
"Zhao Zhao, are you really not considering letting Yu Sheng be the deputy chief examiner? Jing Mo and I have both just become chief examiners. Without an experienced person leading the way, we chief examiners would be unsure."
Yun Zhao lowered his head to read the memorial without looking up. "With time, you'll get used to it. Everything needs a first time."
Mu Chengyan pursed his lips. "But I just asked Xie Jingmo, and he also said that if Yu Xiang came with us, he would feel more at ease. I think so too. I think, if we both have this idea, Yun Zhao, should you consider making some adjustments?"
Hearing this, Yun Zhao looked up at Mu Chengyan and asked, "You just said—does Xie Jingmo think so too?"
Just now, Xie Jingmo said excitedly that he saw a thrush in the back mountain and went to catch it.
He didn't say a word about Yu Xiang at that time.
Mu Chengyan said that the two of them had discussed it.
When was this discussed?
God knows!
Yun Zhao held the pen in his hand and lowered his head. "Well, I'll think about it."
Mu Chengyan pursed his lips. "Do you have any other considerations? Tell me, and I'll answer you directly. That way, I can go out and inform Yu Xiang to make preparations. You know, recruiting candidates is very troublesome and the process is complicated. I'm afraid if I miss something, it will make me laugh. Why don't you just say something to me?"
Yun Zhao said calmly, "So anxious?"
Yun Zhao put the pen down and said, "Didn't you say Xie Jingmo also agreed to Yu Xiang's participation? Then you can wait for him to come back and discuss it." Yun Zhao put the pen tip on the memorial, his tone flat. "After all, I'm leaving this matter to you. It's cheaper to tell him than to tell me."
Mu Chengyan frowned slightly when he heard this, "But I think——"
"Yun Zhao!"
Before Mu Chengyan could finish his words, a loud shout rang out from the doorway. Xie Jingmo shouted happily at the doorway, "Come and see what goodies I caught for you!"
