Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 53 Being Dragged Into the Water

Mu Wenyu's heart skipped a beat when being stared at by Marquis Jingyang, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.

He thought that other officials would impeach him for being close to Marquis Jingyang, but he didn't expect that it was Marquis Jingyang himself who said it!

Marquis Jingyang is really hopelessly stupid!

The emperor, who was observing the situation, also looked with interest in the direction of Marquis Jingyang and towards his prime minister.

He heard that the eldest son and daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion went to the Jingyang Marquis Mansion yesterday, so what would the Prime Minister say now?

"Prime Minister Mu, your children all came to Marquis Jingyang's mansion yesterday. Please help me explain clearly that I absolutely did not favor my concubine over my wife!" Marquis Jingyang is now desperate and is trying every possible means to help.

In his opinion, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was just good at talking, and all he had to do was find someone more powerful to talk him back.

So who is more powerful among the civil officials and who is familiar with him?

There is only one, and that is the Prime Minister!

Mu Wenyu: "..."

Mu Wenyu paused and said calmly: "I was teaching the princes in the palace yesterday and I don't know what they saw."

"Besides, they went to the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion to visit Prince Gu, and they didn't know the relationship between Marquis of Jingyang and his wife and concubines."

Marquis Jingyang looked at Mu Wenyu in disbelief. Couldn't he just say a good word for him?

The Minister of Revenue looked at Marquis Jingyang with disdain, "Lord Marquis Jingyang, do you have anything else to say?"

The second prince Ji Linwen looked at Marquis Jingyang with a smile on his face. Who made him hold half of the tiger talisman in his hand?

I didn't expect that Wei Yueyao had just made a move and he had already bewitched Marquis Jingyang. That's great. Even if he wasn't brought down today, what if Wei Yueyao gave him the drug?

That was a chronic poison that he had spent a lot of effort to find. There was no reaction at all in the early stages after taking it, but once a reaction occurred in the later stages, it was too late to treat it.

In this round, Marquis Jingyang was destined to be the only loser.

"Then you have no evidence to prove that I favor my concubine over my wife! I even asked His Majesty to make the child born by my principal wife the Crown Prince. How can I not value her?"

Marquis Jingyang didn't know why, but at this moment he suddenly felt dizzy and staggered back a step.

This small action was immediately seized upon by the Minister of Revenue, "Why did Marquis Jingyang react so strongly? I'm afraid he has touched a sore spot for you!"

The eldest prince and the third prince were watching the show on the side. One has to say that Marquis Jingyang was really confused. He actually publicly said that he wanted to marry a brothel girl as his concubine. Isn't this a slap in the face to his wife?

If you want to marry her, why do you have to shout it out loud so that everyone knows?

If he didn't make it public, the Minister of Revenue might not be able to do anything to him.

Now, my father intends to take back that half tiger talisman, and has been keeping an eye on Marquis Jingyang, and he is also going to marry a prostitute in a ostentatious manner.

When the two of them investigated the Jingyang Marquis's mansion, they were quite surprised that he had never falsified accounts or even accepted bribes or engaged in corruption.

It turns out that it is the wife of Marquis Jingyang who is in charge of this mansion.

----

Marquis Jingyang felt his vision blurred for a moment, probably because he was angry.

"Weichen, Weichen..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell down in the hall.

The Minister of Revenue frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Jingyang is in such good health, how could he suddenly faint? He must be pretending to faint!"

The emperor narrowed his bottomless eyes slightly, "Come here, call the imperial physician."

He felt that Marquis Jingyang didn't have the brains to figure out how to pretend to be faint.

Moreover, he was looking down from a high place and could see everyone's movements very clearly. It seemed that Marquis Jingyang had started to breathe heavily unconsciously before.

Could it be that he fainted because of the anger of the Minister of Revenue?

still is……

No matter what, Marquis Jingyang at least fainted in the court, which means that his body is no longer able to lead troops into battle, so he has to hand over the half tiger talisman even if he doesn't want to!

The imperial physician hurried to the court. This was the first time for him as an imperial physician to take a person's pulse in front of the ministers and the emperor!

Somewhat exciting!

But before long, the imperial physician's expression gradually became serious.

How come Marquis Jingyang is so healthy?

The imperial physician took the patient's pulse for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Jingyang must have been overworked these past few days, and he was also angry for a while, so he fainted."

"As long as Jingyang Hou has a good rest, he will wake up."

With just a few words from the imperial physician, Marquis Jingyang became a laughing stock among the ministers.

Tired? Marquis Jingyang lies in the women's nest every day, maybe he is exhausted!

Even Mu Wenyu couldn't help but twitch his lips. When he returned, he would warn the two children to stay away from Marquis Jingyang!

The reason why Marquis Jingyang fainted is so strange, I’m afraid he won’t be able to continue serving in the court in the future.

"Too tired? Then Marquis Jingyang should just rest at home!" The emperor decided the future fate of Marquis Jingyang without hesitation.

The matter is now settled.

"Come here, send Marquis Jingyang back to his mansion, and take back the half tiger talisman."

Two eunuchs came up to the palace entrance, carried Marquis Jingyang and walked out.

The other ministers looked at each other with a mixture of sighs and ridicule. From now on, Marquis Jingyang would have no real power and would no longer be a threat to others.

However, Marquis Jingyang was lucky as he fainted at the critical moment and escaped.

If he hadn't fainted, he would probably have been convicted and punished, and his title would have been stripped away.

Mu Wenyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Jingyang Hou being carried away. He was not afraid of god-like opponents, but was afraid of pig-like teammates.

Although Jingyang Hou is not a teammate, he is really stupid!

The Minister of Revenue gave Marquis Jingyang a last hateful look, but unfortunately he had not yet accused Marquis Jingyang of favoring his concubine and killing his wife.

His sister is the biological mother of Marquis Jingyang's wife, so he loves Zheng Hualing because of her love for her, but Marquis Jingyang is really a bad person.

He cheated on his sister's child and spent his wife's money visiting brothels!

It was his negligence that he did not strip his marquisate in one go this time. Marquis Jingyang will not have this opportunity next time.

The emperor was about to take back the half tiger talisman, so he felt a little better. "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, there are soldiers suspected to be from Qi approaching our country..."

"Your Majesty, the north is suffering from drought. Should we transport some food there?"

"Reply to Your Majesty..."

"........."

The emperor's good mood was gone.

After the court session, Mu Wenyu was on his way back home when he was stopped by the Minister of Revenue and asked, "Prime Minister Mu, you are not very close to Marquis Jingyang, are you?"

Mu Wenyu's expression remained unchanged. "Of course not. Jinfeng and Xi'er are going to see Master Gu. They have nothing to do with Marquis Jingyang."

After getting a satisfactory answer, the Minister of Revenue took his leave.

There was a gleam of light in Mu Wenyu's eyes. Since the Minister of Revenue was protecting Master Gu, it was not impossible for Jinfeng and Xier to go to Master Gu to maintain their relationship in the future.
