LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Finally, Mu Hansu forced himself to suppress his unhappiness, looked at the emperor and said, "If your Royal Brother summoned me to the palace in the middle of the night just to tell me how popular she is, then there is no need for that."

The emperor touched his remaining half beard awkwardly and said, "Of course not.

I came to you for something serious. Guess where the other half of my beard is."

Mu Hansu glanced at him and said, "Could it be that my brother offended one of his sisters-in-law and had his hair shaved off?"

The eunuch beside the emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

However, when he saw the emperor's fierce eyes, he was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth and dared not even breathe.

The emperor looked at Mu Hansu and said seriously, "I will give it to Duke Lu."

Mu Hansu was a little puzzled. The Duke of Lu had just left the palace in the evening, and he didn't know that the Duke of Lu had come to the palace to ask for medicine.

The emperor explained, "Lu Yan was injured on the battlefield and his legs became disabled, making it difficult for him to walk.

I always thought that he only injured his bones and meridians, but I didn't expect that he was poisoned.

Seven generals of the Lu family died tragically on the battlefield, leaving only Lu Yan, who also made outstanding contributions to Dalin.

Now that Lu Yan's poison is needed, how can I be stingy?"

Mu Hansu nodded when he heard this, and he agreed with the emperor's approach.

He has been in the army for many years, so naturally his affection for the soldiers is stronger than that for the emperor.

However, Mu Hansu glanced at the emperor and said, "My royal brother is wise, but I think there is no need for you to sacrifice half of your beard. Wouldn't it be the same if you used your hair?"

emperor:.......

Why didn't he think of it at the time?

He felt sad for a while when he cut his beard, because he had grown it on purpose.

But now that I've shaved it off, there's no point in talking about this anymore.

Besides, the emperor didn’t ask Mu Hansu to come for this matter, so he waved his hand and said, “Okay, I’ve already shaved my hair, so don’t poke me in the heart anymore.

I called you here because of Lu Yan's poisoning.

When Lu Yan led his troops for the first time, he won seven battles in a row and was praised by everyone as the general in white.

However, he made a mistake in command in the final decisive battle, was imprisoned by the enemy, and his legs were crippled.

At that time, everyone said that he was eager to avenge his father and was too greedy and reckless to do that.

But if he was poisoned that year, then there must be a hidden story behind the defeat."

If the emperor could think of this, Mu Hansu could naturally think of it as well.

So he said, "My royal brother is right. We in the royal family cannot let down the soldiers on the frontier.

We cannot let those 30,000 heroic souls die in vain. So I suggest that you investigate this matter thoroughly."

The emperor nodded when he heard this. He had the same idea, but he didn't know who to send to investigate such a big matter.

He had originally planned to hand this matter over to Mu Hansu, but he had been too busy recently. Although those who are capable should do more work, he didn't want to work such a useful brother to death.

So he asked, "Who do you think is the most suitable person to investigate this matter?

I originally planned to let Lu Yan investigate it personally. After all, he was the person involved in the case back then, so it should be easier for him.

But Duke Lu said that it would take him half a year to cure the poison and heal his leg, and I really can’t wait that long.”

Mu Hansu thought for a moment and said, "Duke Rong."

Duke Rong is the eldest princess's consort and one of the emperor's most trusted people.

Before he married the princess, he had been a soldier, and he had a first-class power and status. Even if the people behind him were afraid that he would find out the truth, they did not dare to act against him easily.

So the emperor immediately made the decision and said, "Okay, then it's Duke Rong. I believe that when the emperor sister knows about it, she will fully support it.

I will summon Duke Rong to the palace right now."

Mu Hansu rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said, "Brother, do you have to bother me in the middle of the night? Do you want to make this known to everyone?"

The emperor was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said, "It seems to be too late, then let's summon Duke Rong to the palace tomorrow morning.

Ninth brother, please stay in the palace tonight."

Mu Hansu looked at the sky and it was indeed already three o'clock in the morning. He thought that Lu Chenshuang must have gone to bed. She always woke up suddenly when she slept, so it would be better not to disturb her.

So he nodded and prepared to stay overnight in the palace.

Although Mu Hansu has already reached adulthood and according to regulations he is not allowed to live in the palace, the emperor dotes on him after all.

There has always been a palace reserved for him in the imperial palace, but Mu Hansu rarely lives there.

Mu Hansu bowed to the emperor and prepared to leave, but after thinking for a moment he asked, "Brother, are you not going to shave this half of your beard? You have to attend the morning court tomorrow."

The emperor smiled and said, "Of course I will shave it, but I will do it after the morning court tomorrow."

Mu Hansu was a little surprised. Did the emperor have no respect for himself? Or did he think that he looked better with a half beard?

Seeing Mu Hansu's face full of questions, the emperor walked up to him and explained in a low voice: "You know it's not easy to be a wise ruler. Since I have made such a great sacrifice, I must let the civil and military officials and the people of the world know.

I don't expect them to sing my praises, but at least let them know that I am not a foolish emperor, and I can sacrifice my reputation for the sake of loyal and patriotic generals."

Mu Hansu looked at the emperor's complacent expression and knew that his brother was still the same brother as before, but he had also become a qualified emperor.

The next morning, the emperor attended the morning court with half a beard, which shocked many ministers.

But from the emperor's euphemistic expression, everyone knew that the emperor was willing to sacrifice his reputation to save his important ministers and generals in order to save the prince of Lu, Lu Yan.

All the ministers knelt in the main hall and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times. It was a great scene of a wise king and loyal ministers.

And immediately some historians expressed their desire to record the emperor's feat in history.

Of course, this matter soon spread to the common people, and the emperor received a lot of praise for being a wise ruler.

After Lu Chenshuang found out, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really didn't expect that the biggest beneficiary of this matter would be the emperor.

Maybe this is the art of emperors.

Besides, although the Duke of Lu had obtained the dragon's whiskers, he was unable to buy two of the herbs because they were all taken away by a southern drug dealer.

These two herbs are not very precious, but they are essential for Lu Yan to detoxify.

Duke Lu was extremely anxious and came to Lu Chenshuang in person to discuss the matter.

She looked at Lu Chenshuang and asked, "Divine Doctor Lu, what do you think we should do now? This is all my fault for having to take the initiative to ask the Emperor for the dragon whiskers first, and then the news leaked out.

I should have gathered all the herbs first and then asked the emperor for the dragon whiskers."

Lu Chenshuang listened and said comfortingly: "Duke Lu, don't worry, this may be a good thing.

Come with me to a place first to see if you can find these two herbs. If not, you can always ask the emperor for them. Who lets him show off so much? "

When Duke Lu heard what Lu Chenshuang said, he was frightened. Talking about the emperor behind his back was a capital crime.
