Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 127 Marriage Grant

The official pondered over it and thought that he might be hallucinating. Otherwise, how could he hear the prime minister admit it himself? !

But at this moment he really didn't know what to say. His superiors only told him to produce the prepared evidence when the prime minister denied it.

No one told him that this situation would happen!

The official asked with a stiff upper lip: "Did the Prime Minister really admit it?"

Mu Wenyu nodded.

The emperor still stared at the prime minister, and said without joy or anger: "Prime Minister, do you accept the punishment?"

Mu Wenyu knelt down with his back straight and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I accept the punishment. If you do something wrong, you should be punished, and I am no exception."

All those present, regardless of their official rank or status, expressed admiration for the prime minister.

Even political enemies are no exception. Regardless of whether the prime minister was framed or really did it, it cannot be denied that the prime minister's behavior was improper.

If someone else were in the prime minister's position, he would probably have to make some excuses no matter what. This is an essential difference in following his nature.

The emperor was silent for a while, feeling a little headache about how to deal with the prime minister. After all, no one in the court could match the prime minister's ability to get things done and his popularity.

That’s right, the prime minister, as the top scholar among the top six, is admired by all scholars. What the court lacks the most is students from poor families who have passed the imperial examinations.

Although they are of low rank and insignificant power, if they come together, the problem can be solved easily.

Not long after, officials really came forward from the team one after another, knelt behind the prime minister one by one, and asked His Majesty to be lenient with them with calm expressions.

Although the news from the Prime Minister shocked them, it did not hinder their respect for the Prime Minister, and they would still do their best to support the Prime Minister.

By the time the prime minister's political enemies reacted, the space behind them had become somewhat empty, while the center of the hall was already filled with people kneeling.

Although they admired the prime minister's courage and responsibility, these emotions did not affect their efforts to stop him.

"What are you doing? Are you forcing His Majesty to make a decision?" The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Revenue stepped forward and shouted.

But since those officials came forward, they have not regretted it.

The emperor looked at the situation in the court coldly, knowing that the prime minister had already threatened the imperial power.

He didn't believe that the Prime Minister had not thought of the current situation when he came out to admit it.

Finally the emperor spoke up: "Then fine the prime minister ten months' salary."

We must get rid of this eyesore as soon as possible.

Mu Wenyu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The emperor looked at the crown prince and several princes who were standing stupidly beside him with a look of disappointment.

Don't you know that this Prime Minister is their number one enemy? !

Although the prime minister never favored any of the princes, he did not have any handles or weaknesses that could be exploited.

Very difficult.

Suddenly, the emperor caught a glimpse of the third prince's expression of watching a show again, and his eyes twitched involuntarily. How come this child has always been the same since he was a child!

I don’t know who I learned this from.

Moreover, he is already twenty years old, but has not yet married or had children. The words "not interested in the throne" are clearly engraved on his face.

Didn’t you see that the Crown Prince and the other princes ignored the Third Prince at all!

That's because they think the Third Prince is of no value and don't even have the intention to win him over!

The emperor was a little annoyed and immediately announced the end of the court session.

He didn't want to see any more annoying people hanging around in front of him!

Wait, a prince of no use, and a prime minister with great influence.

A dark light flashed in the emperor's eyes. It just so happened that the prime minister had a daughter...

No, the prime minister now has two daughters and four sons.

However, the most valuable one is undoubtedly the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Tangxi!

Cut off one of the ways for the prime minister to unite with other officials, preventing him from continuing to expand his network, and at the same time throw the annoying third prince out of the palace, killing two birds with one stone!

After Mu Wenyu returned home, an imperial decree granting marriage also arrived.

The wedding took place three months later.

Mu Wenyu raised the corner of his eye. Isn't this what he wanted delivered to his doorstep?

This is really great.

He suppressed the urge to laugh and showed outsiders a slightly unbelievable and dazed expression.

The entire family of the Prime Minister's Mansion knelt down and waited for the order in a daze, at least that was what they saw on the surface.

Mu Tangxi remained very calm throughout the whole process. There was nothing to be suspicious about. It would be more beneficial for her to marry the prince.

After all, the Third Prince seemed easy to control, and she was getting closer and closer to the pinnacle of power.

But for Mu Jinfeng, it was like a bolt from the blue. He thought his sister would marry a family that was a good match for the Prime Minister's Mansion and could provide support to the Prime Minister's Mansion. But...

That’s the third prince!

Obviously, any prince except the third prince would be fine, but in the end it was this worthless third prince who was chosen!

Mu Jinfeng took a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions.

Xu Jingshu's facial muscles twitched. This is all the master's fault!

What’s the point of marrying the third prince?

He has neither the ambition to fight for the throne nor the power to preserve himself. Isn't this definitely a stepping stone in the fight for the throne?

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi thought it was okay since it had nothing to do with their interests anyway.

Moreover, if we hold on to a fluke mentality, maybe the third prince can become the final... winner?

Well, they don't believe it themselves.

But maybe the third prince can take advantage of the opportunity?

The eunuch who announced the decree watched the expressions of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion calmly and left with satisfaction.

After Mu Wenyu closed the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the expression on his face faded instantly. His Majesty was so suspicious and too conceited about himself. It seemed that after granting the marriage, he would no longer be overly vigilant and pay attention to him.

He went from being someone His Majesty needed to be wary of to someone who only needed to be observed.

Your Majesty will focus on the Crown Prince. After all, he is getting older, while the power he holds is growing greater.

This is perfect. Mu Wenyu will never forget the incident of injuring Jin Feng a few years ago and the spy who infiltrated Xu Jingshu's side.

He has already found out who did it, but he has endured it for so many years. Now it is time to take revenge!

Mu Tangxi once again recalled the character of the Third Prince five years ago in her mind, but this cannot be used as a reference. After all, people always change.

Who knows if the third prince will suddenly develop ambitions and schemes?

Mu Tangxi will not look down on anyone, she will climb up step by step carefully.

Who knows if there will be another miracle after this death?

Shen Qiu came forward to report, "Miss, that girl, she, she..."

He stammered, not knowing how to describe Mu Lianxue's behavior.

It seemed like he had no idea what Mu Lianxue was thinking several times, nor did he know who Mu Lianxue looked like?

That concubine looks easy to bully, so it’s... the master?

……No way.

Shen Qiu simply couldn't imagine that his master had behaved like this when he was young, so he quickly put the things in his head behind him.

Mu Tangxi raised his eyes and said gently, "What's wrong with her?"
