Ling Ruiyin's words made Mo Junyu think deeply.
In fact, this problem has been bothering Mo Junyu for a long time.
He had never figured out why Mo Junyang was trying so hard to help him.
Is it really just as Mo Junyang said - he only wants Shi Qingxue
Mo Junyu never believed such an answer.
But what Mo Junyang had shown him over the years was that, except for Shi Qingxue, this man really had no desires or desires.
Not to mention ambition or anything like that.
But now, after Ling Ruiyin said this, Mo Junyu's thoughts seemed to have found a new direction.
For example, the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole stalks behind.
Mo Junyang supported him in his fight for the throne with other brothers, and followed him to the throne. Was it just to make it easier to seize power from him in the future
His feelings clearly told him that Mo Junyang and he were as close as brothers—perhaps they really were brothers—and there was absolutely no way he would treat him like this.
But Mo Junyu also knew clearly that if Mo Junyang wanted to be emperor, this was definitely something Mo Junyang could do.
So, yes or no
This is a problem.
Mo Junyu was emotionally inclined to give a negative answer, but even he couldn't help but doubt it.
The emperor pondered for a long time and finally asked: "Then what are we going to do next?"
How to deal with Mo Junyang
Yoshihiro was the first to answer: "If it cannot be used, of course it must be eradicated!"
"Hong'er!" Liang Yuanming wanted to stop Liang Hong in a hurry, but the other party had already spoken quickly.
Then as expected, Mo Junyu's expression suddenly darkened.
Liang Yuanming knew very well that the emperor was still more emotionally inclined to Mo Junyang. As the saying goes, no matter how close Mo Junyang is, it would not be their turn to talk about it, no matter how bad or unfaithful Mo Junyang was.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to make amends, he heard Ling Ruiyin say: "Commander Liang's words are straightforward, but they are not unreasonable.
Yu'er! The Ai family knows that you have a deep relationship with Prince Mo, but you are an emperor first, and then yourself. Even for the sake of Da Mo's country, you must not be merciful when you should be ruthless. "
Similarly, for Ling Ruiyin, the effect is different.
Mo Junyu's expression was tangled and he was deep in thought.
The others had a tacit understanding not to disturb him at this time, and wanted him to think it over thoroughly.
Do you want to dominate Mo Jiangshan, or do you want his brotherly relationship with Mo Junyang
At this time, the palace servants hurriedly came to report: "Ms. Qi, the second lady of the Ling family and the second lady of the Liang family have asked to see you, saying that they have something important to see you. The servants said that you are talking to His Majesty, but they refused to leave. They are still crying and clamoring to come in, saying that if they don’t see you again, their lives will be in danger.”
"What's going on?" Ling Ruiyin frowned, a little unhappy and a little surprised.
The second wife of the Ling family refers to Ling Kexiong's first wife, Mrs. Chen; the second wife of the Liang family refers to Liang Hui's first wife, Mrs. Zhu.
These two people can be regarded as relatives. They are very talkative and understand the rules on weekdays, so they are also very fond of Ling Ruiyin, who often invites them to the palace to accompany them.
This is the first time that they have been so rude, almost breaking into the palace gate.
Why is it so outrageous
Ling Ruiyin thought for a moment, then looked at the people present - all of whom were members of his own family - and then nodded and said, "Okay, let them in!"
After a while, Ling Chen and Liang Zhu walked into the courtyard together.
When he saw Ling Ruiyin, it was like seeing his own mother. He walked to Ling Ruiyin and knelt down with tears in his eyes.
They begged in unison: "Empress, I beg you to save me!"
It's quite surprising that they all speak in unison to this extent.
Ling Ruiyin hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
This time it was Ling Chen who spoke first. She simply told Ling Shan and Ling Kexiong that they were taken away by people from Dali Temple in the government office and have not returned yet.
Someone was sent to inquire, but they only said that the two of them had been reported for violating the law and being an official. They would not be released until the investigation was clear, and they could not be seen.
Then I asked an acquaintance to investigate the situation and heard that the two of them were beaten beyond recognition in the prison. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore and resorted to anything.
"Empress! I am your nephew. I have absolutely nothing to say to you on weekdays. When I get something good, I think of you first. You can't just die without saving me!" Mrs. Ling Chen burst into tears and cried very hard. It's so miserable, I feel like I'm going to faint as I talk.
Ling Ruiyin quickly asked the palace maid to hold him up, calmed down, and then said: "Don't be anxious now. When the Ai family finds out the situation, they will not be wronged."
After that, he looked at Liangzhu again, "Why are you crying again? Lianghui was also arrested by people from Dali Temple?"
Mrs. Liangzhu was also wiping her tears and said pitifully: "To tell you the truth, I haven't been captured by the people from Dali Temple yet, but people from Dali Temple said that there were many unjust, false and wrong cases under his rule, which is serious. He has neglected his duties and is now ordering him to investigate the cases over the years one by one.
If he doesn't investigate the case clearly, he will be dismissed from office! "
Mo Junyu frowned after hearing this and shouted in a deep voice: "Dismissal? Why didn't I know that Dali Temple has such great power now?"
It is simply more majestic than him as the emperor.
Liangzhu replied cautiously: "Of course they won't say that directly, but the people in Dali Temple have been holding on to me. I have handled cases for so many years, ranging from thousands to hundreds, and I can always give them to them." Seize the error.
By that time, the people of Dali Temple insist on enforcing the law impartially. Your Majesty, don't you still want to follow them? "
"Presumptuous!" Mo Junyu glanced coldly.
Mrs. Liang Zhu immediately shrank into a quail shape, plopped down on her knees, and did not dare to speak anymore.
This Lianghui is the second son of Liang Yuanming. Although he is not as favored by Lianghong as him and they rarely interact with each other on weekdays, he is his biological son after all.
Hearing Mrs. Liangzhu's cry, he also spoke to help: "Please calm down, your majesty! My wife, my wife, cannot speak and cares about her husband. If she offends your majesty, I hope your majesty will not argue with her, who is a woman."
"snort!"
Naturally, Mo Junyu would not argue with the Liangzhu family, but he just wanted to show his dissatisfaction, otherwise these people would really think that he, the emperor, was so easy to bully.
After leaving the person indifferent for a while, he spoke again: "Okay, get up and answer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mrs. Liangzhu was helped up by the maid, and she thanked her gratefully.
Ling Ruiyin interrupted at the right moment and asked, "Who is the current Minister of Dali Temple?"
Liang Yuanming: "My name is Liu Changqing. He was the top scholar in the scientific examination four years ago. He has been working in Dali Temple. Because of his ability in doing things, he was promoted to Minister of Dali Temple by the late emperor at the beginning of the year."
After a pause, he mentioned again as if unintentionally: "I heard that Lord Liu had a close relationship with Prince Mo. At that time, the former Minister of Dali Temple retired and returned to his hometown, and it was Prince Mo who recommended Lord Liu to the late Emperor to succeed him as the successor of Dali Temple. Your position."
Everyone in the yard fell silent at the same time, especially Ling Ruiyin and Mo Junyu, whose faces were 'colorful'.
Liang Yuanming sighed with emotion at the right time: "Prince Mo's influence on the officials of our dynasty is really not small!"
Mo Junyu's face changed several times, and finally settled on indifference, "There is no need for a good minister to say anything, I know what to do."
Liang Yuanming was not annoyed even after being scolded, he smiled and stopped talking.
The seeds of estrangement have been planted. Even if it doesn't break out now, sooner or later it will take root and sprout.
Mo Junyu had no time to pay attention to what others were thinking, and said to the servant in a cold voice: "Go and find Liu Changqing for me. Tell him that I have something to ask him."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the guard Zhou Ji came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple wants to see you."
It really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.
It was as if he had been waiting for him outside.
Mo Junyu smiled coldly and couldn't wait to return to the imperial study. He turned to look at Ling Ruiyin, who nodded.
Said: "You can follow the Ai family into the house and have a cup of tea!"
After quickly clearing the place, the palace officials brought Liu Changqing to the courtyard.
Liu Changqing knelt down and paid his respects, "The humble minister Liu Changqing has met your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."
Mo Junyu didn't ask anyone to get up, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "If someone like Mr. Liu takes care of all important matters such as the appointment and removal of officials for me, then I will be safe!"
Deliberately emphasizing the word "agent·handle", it is almost as if Liu Changqing is arrogant and arrogant.
Liu Changqing hurriedly kowtowed several times and replied with sincerity: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen has no intention of monopolizing power. Everything Wei Chen does is in accordance with his duties, and it is all for His Majesty and Da Mo." country.
If there is anything that I have done inappropriately, please give me a reminder for the sake of my conscientiousness. I will definitely change my ways and strive to make Your Majesty more satisfied. "
His words were both lyrical and loyal, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes and correcting them was also extremely sincere.
Mo Junyu really couldn't break out for a while.
He looked at Liu Changqing coldly and hummed: "Then tell me, who gave you the power to remove the governor of Kyoto and the minister of punishment?"
Liu Changqing tremblingly took out a stack of confessions from his arms, raised his head and handed it to Mo Junyu, and replied in panic: "Your Majesty is aware that the Dali Temple Secretary investigates the administration of officials in the court and always performs his duties faithfully. If there is any problem, what should he do? The final decision must be made by His Majesty.
This time, after the Weichen received reports from the people about officials' corruption and perversion of the law, they quickly investigated. This was the confession of the governor of Kyoto and the Minister of Justice. Both of them admitted to corruption and perversion of the law, and confessed some of the facts about their bribery and bribery.
All the minor ministers have been recorded, please consult your majesty. "
Mo Junyu took the confession and saw that it was indeed what Liu Changqing said - Lingshan and Ling Kexiong had confessed the facts of their crimes.
If that was the case, Mo Junyu could still say that Dali Temple was beaten into submission.
But the two pigs in question explained all the details of their corruption and bending the law. Every order was well-founded and detailed, and there was no way it could be faked!
Even if there is only a single piece of evidence from the confession, the people from Dali Temple can conduct a thorough investigation based on the contents of the confession, which will definitely be enough to dismiss the two men from office.
More importantly, Dali Temple did not act arbitrarily. As soon as the evidence was obtained, it was immediately shown to him. Mo Junyu had no room to lose his temper and change the subject.
However, Ling Shan and Ling Kexiong were Ling Ruiyin's only remaining relatives, and they were also his maternal family, and they had contributed a lot when he ascended the throne.
Mo Junyu couldn't just watch the two most important people of the Ling family being executed according to law!
Your Majesty, the Emperor, is in a dilemma.
