Wife Hua

Chapter 461 Children
Not only the courtiers, but also Liu Sanlang and Mu Hua were stunned, unable to close their mouths for a while.

What does the emperor think of General Mu?Is it a lover?or son?

The highest hero who followed the founding ancestor was only a duke. Even the righteous brothers of the Taizu were not crowned kings alive, and they were not crowned kings after death.

Except for the direct descendants of the royal family, no one can be crowned king. This has been a public opinion in the empire.

Today the emperor directly conferred the title of King Yan, or is it a girl? !

Even with the factory guards and Shenji battalion watching, the courtiers couldn't help watching the emperor continue to mess around. Someone said: "I implore the emperor to take back his order. General Mu has made great achievements. You can make her the wife of the country and posthumously protect the country." The princess is all done, you posthumously designate her as the King of Yan, and the minister objects!"

"My minister agrees."

There are also some courtiers who stand up. They are not seeking fame for themselves, but they do not want the emperor to be infamous. Most of them are courtiers who have been promoted by the emperor in recent years.

"Prince Taiping, it's time for you to say something."

"Ah."

King Taiping slowly raised his head and looked at the lonely and weak emperor, "Your Majesty, I think..."

However, the emperor suddenly waved his hand to stop him from continuing, as if his gaze swept over the courtiers who stood up against him, as well as many courtiers who were eager to try, and said calmly: "It's not that I haven't thought about chasing the lady of the country and the princess, but Apart from the fact that she is a girl, which country's wife and princess do you think has her military exploits?"

Some people think of the founding princess, but that person's personal virtues are not flattering, she is extremely "masculine". Back then, Taizu also said that she was made king. After all, she had saved Taizu several times on the battlefield, but she would not give up. Take the throne and ask for a beautiful boy.

"Most of the eldest princess's credit was used to save the great ancestor. General Mu made peace in the Northwest for ten years in the first battle, made more than a dozen foreign countries in the Western Regions submit to pay tribute, and opened up the Silk Road that had been interrupted for many years. Are these not enough to be crowned king? Is it?"

"But Taizu didn't confer meritorious officials as kings back then?"

"That's because Taizu regarded the heroes as brothers, and was wary of them... They were afraid that they would be proud of their military exploits and cause chaos in the world again."

The emperor reasoned with the opposing courtiers, unlike some time ago, no matter whether the courtiers could figure it out or not, he forced his orders to declare his decision.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense, and no one dared to speak out to the emperor.

Liu Sanlang lowered his voice and said: "In recent years, the emperor has attached great importance to the trust of the cabinet scholars, and delegated some powers to the cabinet. The emperor must listen to the opinions of the cabinet and important ministers when making decisions. If the emperor does not do well, After the imperial censor gives advice, the emperor will often accept self-awakening."

Mu Hua nodded slightly, this is also the reason why the emperor is said to be weak, but the deeper meaning is that the emperor...does he limit the emperor's authority by himself?
"The habit of several years was broken by General Mu. Uncle has become more and more like an emperor. Gan Gang is an arbitrary and unquestionable emperor. Even if his decision is not understood or wrong, he will not Anyone is allowed to object. The first assistant disappeared, the second assistant was imprisoned in the sky prison, and the other cabinet scholars were fighting openly and secretly, and he promoted the Cheng University scholar. The power scattered in the cabinet has been taken back by the emperor in sevens and eighties."

Liu Sanlang said gratifiedly: "Uncle finally figured it out, don't listen to what the master said about the decentralization of power, what's the point of being an emperor if you can't be willful and arbitrary?"

"Is the book left by that master still in the palace?" Mu Hua asked softly, faintly feeling that the master's method fits with the distant memory, "Can I have a look?"

"It was burned by the queen mother, and the few volumes left behind were written silently by the emperor. I... have been lucky enough to read some, but I don't agree with the master's restriction of imperial power. The empire has always only needed one voice. If everyone can reject it According to the emperor's will, the government will be in chaos."

Mu Hua said softly: "I agree with what you said, now is indeed not a good time to implement it."

They were all brought up under the supreme education of the emperor. Mu Hua was not afraid of the emperor, but she always believed that the emperor is an empire, and the sacred will cannot be violated. Of course, she scoffed at the idea that the emperor let the minister die, and the minister willingly died.

The emperor continued to reason with the courtiers, "Taizu is more kind and lenient to the heroes than other founding monarchs in the history books. She has died in battle, and no amount of glory can bring her back to life. You are my subjects, can't you Make me happy once?"

"I am afraid that someone who will follow suit later."

"If one of my subjects has made military exploits in opening up territories, I will also make him king."

Out of the corner of the emperor's eyes, he glanced at Mu Hua and Liu Sanlang, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "I think it's suitable for the king to reward the meritorious officials."

Liu Sanlang's heart trembled, one day he won't become something, some kind of 'princess'.

"What should be said, I have already said, if you insist on going your own way against my decision."

The smile was only fleeting, the emperor straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Mu Qi, Mu Yun."

"The minister is here."

When Mu Qi fell to his knees, the armor cleats on his body made noises. Mu Yun knelt behind Mu Qi. Although he didn't make a sound, he was more dangerous than Mu Qi.

"Which one of you has any objections? Who wants to prevent me from chasing her as the King of Yan?"

The courtiers who stood up pondered for a moment, and most of them knelt down again, why bother to fight with a dead man?General Mu has no descendants, and his relatives... It seems that Mu Guogong will not be able to benefit from it. As for Mu Guogong's wife and Mu Yi, who pretended to be a military leader, they were tortured to the point of dying.

It is obvious that the emperor hated the mother and son deeply, and keeping them alive was not an excuse, but to let them continue to live in pain!

The miserable appearance of Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mu Yi also made the courtiers fear the emperor. No matter how lenient the emperor is usually, it will never be fruitful to offend the emperor.

King Taiping County saw that the emperor controlled the situation with both soft and hard tactics, stood up and walked up the steps, walked up to the emperor, and said in a low voice: "I only have one thing that I don't know, and I ask the emperor to give me a clear answer."

"Say!"

"Who do you think Young Master Mu is?"

King Taiping looked up at the emperor, quietly and patiently waiting for the answer.

Hearing their explanation, Liu Sanlang pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word, Mu Hua was also staring at the emperor's lips.

"The question about the emperor..." The emperor took the initiative to approach Prince Taiping, leaned into his ear, and deliberately let Prince Taiping's body block him, "Is it very important?"

"It's very important to me, the emperor is not easy, I am willing to satisfy all the wishes of the emperor."

The emperor embraced Prince Taiping directly, and said in a low voice, "It's the same as the emperor's uncle treats me."

Mu Hua only saw Prince Taiping's body stiffen and soften, and complained, "I didn't hear anything, how about you?"

Liu Sanlang shook his head, "Same."
