The faces of the people changed in shock.

The enmity between Mu State and Qi State did not exist in recent decades.

It was after the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the great ancestors of the two countries began to fight for territory. I don’t know how many times they have fought in the past few hundred years.

Now, this famously loyal and patriotic Chu family has a son of the same blood?

Chu Hanlin's face was still gloomy.

But when Chu Yan saw everyone's reaction, his heart gradually became cold.

It's no wonder that the Ninth Prince made some arrangements at the beginning. The civil and military officials and even the common people have nothing but hatred for Qiren.

Prime Minister Lu was the first to not believe it, "What a mess, the ones picked up at the border are Qi people?!"

Cao Ge rolled his eyes at Wang Huai.

Wang Huai hurriedly said: "At that time, the woman admitted that they were from Qi. An Guogong, what I said was not a lie, you know it!"

Cao Ge folded his hands and looked at Chu Hanlin. He was not impatient, but asked slowly, "Mr. An, for the rest, do you want to admit it yourself, or do you want me to tell it for you?"

Chu Yan is young and can't stand still.

His face was pale and his hands and feet were cold.

He thought, if Mr. Cao Ge said this, he must know his background.

Cao Ge always gave the Chu family and his father a chance.

If he takes the charge of the crime, then the whole Chu family will be safe!

"Your Majesty, I actually..."

Before Chu Yan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Hanlin's scolding: "Shut up!"

Chu Yan looked over, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He didn't want to implicate the Chu family.

He would rather die than want to!
But Chu Hanlin didn't give him this chance, and already said: "Since Mr. Cao Ge said it in front of the emperor and all the ministers, I might as well admit it. Yes, my Wulang is indeed not my blood. During the war on the border, he was rescued from a Qi man."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

Even Prime Minister Lu was furious.

Chu Hanlin, you are confused!
Since you are from Qi, you can let others raise you, why do you have to raise yourself yourself? !
No, Mr. Cao Ge took advantage of it and sued him!

But the two families are relatives by marriage, so Prime Minister Lu said: "Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, it doesn't matter whether Chu Wulang is of Qi people's blood. What matters is that he is the son of Duke An and he is loyal to the Emperor!"

Cao Ge always had a cold face.

Sure enough, as soon as Prime Minister Lu accepted the marriage with the Chu family, he began to protect him.

He didn't even expect that Chu Hanlin would be so stable, only admitting that Chu Yan was from Qi, and not talking about anything else.

But it doesn't matter, he has already arranged everything, just wait.

He said: "He is from Qi, how can he be loyal to the emperor?! You know, he is not the biological son of Duke An!"

Chu Hanlin smiled, and said with a slight sarcasm: "Old Cao Ge, the son recognizes the father, and the father recognizes the son, is it no different from the biological father and son? Like Cao Ge, it is useless to be a father and son." .”

These words were aimed at Mr. Cao Ge's heart.

Many people in the hall couldn't bear to smile.

This is really the first time I've seen someone like Mr. Cao Ge.

The wife wants to reconcile, but the son is unwilling to follow his father and goes to the government to change his surname. They have never seen it before.

Sure enough, Mr. Cao Ge was furious at this moment, and he said it first: "Chu Wulang is not an ordinary Qi person, he is the younger brother of Emperor Qi! He is a spy of Qi State, how can he be loyal to the emperor!"

"What?!" Elder Xu Ge was shocked.

Others reacted the same way.

Chu Yan's complexion was even paler, and he couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

His breathing almost stopped.

Mr. Cao Ge really knows his life experience!

Although his head was not blank, he was still thinking about how to explain and deal with it.

Looking at him, Cao Ge became more determined to guess, and said: "Mr. An, you have always been loyal to the emperor and have never had a second heart. The Ninth Princess has rescued you in distress several times. I think you don't know the true identity of this son. Right? If you knew the identity of this son, you would have killed him right then, right?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Yan.

It's nothing more than talking about Qi people's blood, but he is still an evil member of the royal family, how can he keep these words.

He has extraordinary hearing now and can hear what they are saying.

How to break the game?

It is nothing more than admitting to yourself and taking all the charges, so that the Chu family can be safe!
However, Chu Hanlin walked to Chu Yan's side. He was tall and tall, as if blocking all the gossip.

Chu Yan had a sore nose, looked at his father's generous shoulders, and choked up, "Father..."

"I really don't know. Since Mr. Cao Ge made an accusation, is there any evidence?" Chu Hanlin calmed down, first handed over to Emperor Mu Wu, and then looked at the other officials. It's becoming real!"

Cao Ge choked and was speechless for a while.

When Emperor Mu Wu saw this, he was relieved.

Mr. Cao Ge probably found out Chu Yan's identity, but there was no evidence, so he made such a move, trying to scare the young man Chu Yan, and let him show his flaws.

So sinister!
Fortunately, Chu Yan was not impulsive, and Chu Hanlin also saw Cao Ge's tricks, so he didn't mess himself up.

Emperor Mu Wu also joked at this moment:

"That's right, Mr. Cao Ge. After talking for so long, do you still have evidence? Emperor Qi is cruel, and you insist on saying that his son is related to Emperor Qi by blood. Do you know how serious the crime is?!"

"You have gone through two dynasties. You are a pure minister. You only have the country and the people in your heart. I have always tolerated you. But it doesn't mean that you can slander An Guogong at will!"

In the end, he lost his temper.

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Cao Ge's face was pale and his figure was unstable.

Emperor Mu Wu sighed in his heart.

Mu State and Qi State have been at war for many years, and the grievances have been deep. If Chu Yan is really proved to be the younger brother of Emperor Qi, then the Chu family will suffer a catastrophe.

Because Emperor Qi was cruel, he led the troops in several battles in the early years.

He and Taoist Baimei killed many soldiers of the Mu Kingdom by virtue of their sorcery, and even almost came to the capital.

It can be said that there is no veteran official in the court who does not hate Qi Hong.

But by chance, Chu Yan was rescued by Chu Hanlin and brought back to the Chu family to be educated, and he had made great contributions in saving him before, so Emperor Mu Wu had no doubts about him.

He is Liu Yatou's elder brother and the person Jiudi wants to protect, so he will do his best to save Chu Yan!

More importantly, as long as Qi Hong loves his younger brother for a day, the two countries will never fight again. No matter how big the enmity between the two countries is, as long as it is beneficial to the people, he can turn a blind eye to it.

It's just that Cao Ge didn't know what Qi Hong was thinking, and wanted to suppress the Chu family, so he clung on here.

At this time, Chu Yan had also guessed that Mr. Cao Ge had no real evidence, and he put down the huge stone in his heart slightly, and dared to puff up his chest. (end of this chapter)
