Everyone waited with bated breath for Mei Wenjin's answer. They all knew that His Majesty always valued his opinion.
Mei Wenjin took a step forward, her tone unrecognizable: "I think that although the evidence is insufficient, General Mu is already suspected. For my safety, I should take General Mu into Dali Temple and wait for his punishment. Let Dali Temple investigate this case carefully, and it will not be too late to convict when the results come to light.¡±
As soon as these words came out, no one in the court made a sound.
These words were impartial, but in the end they put Mu Huai in the position of the suspect.
Murong Chun still had no expression on his face, he just looked at Mu Huai and asked, "Mu Huai, do you have any doubts?"
"I don't dare, but I implore Your Majesty, no matter what the outcome of this matter, I will bear it alone. My father is already old. I hope your majesty will not let my father suffer for the sake of his old man's illness in the battlefield." .¡±
Mu Huai's words were resounding, he was right, but not without loopholes.
As a king, the most taboo is the suspicion of high meritorious deeds, not to mention whether Mu Huai has such thoughts, the ministers will be the first to question it.
"General Mu, no matter how much military merit your lord has made, he is still a subject of my Great Yan. I am afraid that General Mu is presumptuous!" Yan Song's fox tail could hardly be hidden.
Mu Huai still knelt there straight, and solemnly kowtowed: "I hope Your Majesty will allow you."
He is a subject of Dayan and a soldier on the frontier. He is an upright person, so naturally he is not afraid of such slander.
Although the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is serious, it will never be established by him.
Since he was a child, Duke Mu had told him how the ancestors of the Mu family served the country. The martyrs of the family watched from the sky. He also knew that as a bloodline of the Mu family, the mission of his birth was to defend the family and the country. Never changed.
Murong Chun stood up from the dragon chair, took a few steps forward, and after a long time, he spoke:
"First take Mu Huai into Dali Temple for strict supervision. Dali Temple Shaoqing Song Yun and concubine Mei Wenjin will investigate the case. The prime minister, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and Jing Zhaoyin will coordinate the investigation. After seven days, the case must be brought to justice." Check it out, there must be no mistakes."
"Your servants will obey your orders!" Everyone hastily accepted the order.
Murong Chun paused for a moment, and continued: "Arrangements will be made. Twenty people from the Imperial Forest Army will be dispatched to surround the Duke's Mansion. The people in the mansion are not allowed to enter or leave at will until the case is clarified. Anyone who violates the order will be killed!"
"Your Majesty, the imperial guards cannot be transferred out of the palace at will, you" Li Wen, the chief eunuch at the side, persuaded in a low voice.
"This is my will!" Murong Chun's tone carried a majesty that could not be refuted, and Li Wen quickly took the order: "Hey, this slave will arrange it."
After the morning court, Mei Wenjin did not rush to Dali Temple, but asked for orders to go to the Imperial Study Room first.
In the son-in-law's mansion on the other side, Murong Nian was also anxiously waiting for Bitao's news. She was worried about Mu Huai's accident, so she sent Bitao out early this morning to inquire about Mu Huai's situation. At the moment, she was fidgeting in the room.
"Princess! Princess, it's not good, something happened to the general!"
Bi Taoren yelled out impatiently before he entered the house.
"What happened to the general?"
"My servant heard that the general was imprisoned by His Majesty in Dali Temple!"
"What?!" Murong Nian raised her brows upside down, she would never have thought that the day before yesterday was fine, but today her elder brother Mu Huai was imprisoned in Dali Temple by her father.
"Why did the father do this? What happened?"
"I heard that the general was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and treason, andand" Bi Tao didn't know how to say the next thing after thinking about it, and she didn't understand why the son-in-law would do that.
"Say it quickly, you want to kill me in a hurry?" Murong Nian's brows stood on end, and she stomped her feet anxiously.
"My servant heard that it was the son-in-law proposed to imprison the general in Dali Temple"
"What did you say?!" Murong Nian's heart sank suddenly, did Mei Wenjin avenge himself?
"Why did he do this?" Murong Nian had always trusted Mei Wenjin, he said he would help Mu Huai, why did he send him to prison again?
Could it be that he repented because he wanted to reconcile? After all, after He Li, he has no reason to help her protect Mu Huai anymore.
"Bitao, hurry up and prepare the carriage, I'm going to the palace to rescue Brother Mu Huai now!"
Murong couldn't understand what was going on in the court, and she couldn't figure out what Mei Wenjin wanted to do after thinking about it. She only knew that the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason was not a small one.??A dead end.
She had to hurry into the palace to beg her father to save Mu Huai, and the son-in-law, how could he lie to her? Didn't he promise to protect Mu Huai (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
