[Transmigration Book] Refuse to be a mother

"Brother broke into my house with people from the East Palace in the middle of the night. Brother, isn't it more terrifying than a scourge?"

He said it was scary, but the smile on Xiao Yan's face was not concealed.

A gloomy look flashed across his face, Xiao Huan raised the corners of his lips, and said straight to the point: "Why should the seventh brother speak so seriously? As long as the seventh brother returns the things stolen from the Ministry of Industry to Mr. Wu, the elder brother will naturally not It will disturb your spring evening with Mr. Xiyuan."

Xiao Huan always likes to beat around the bush when he speaks and does things. This time, Liu Muchen was a little surprised when he pointed out his purpose so simply and neatly. It can be seen that he was really in a hurry. Otherwise, with his temperament of looking forward and backward, he would definitely not be able to bring people into the house. Such a stupid thing as Prince Ning's Mansion.

He didn't want to be sloppy, but Xiao Yan refused. He took Liu Muchen's shoulders and said calmly, "Brother, where did you start with this, my wife and I spent the whole night in the house, when did we go to the military department to steal something? "

Liu Muchen gave Xiao Yan a gouged look, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with the words "lady" and "turning clouds and rain" in his words.

Xiao Huan looked unhappy: "So, the seventh brother is not willing to hand over the things?"

"What's Eldest Brother's intention?" Xiao Yan said with a smile, "Is it going to wipe out the whole of my house like I did to Second Brother, and then pour the dirty water on any adult who doesn't agree with you?"

Xiao Huan narrowed his eyes, and a ferocious look slowly climbed onto his usually gentle face: "You know all about it?"

Back then, Xiao Yan was still young, and Xiao Yi was traveling around to consolidate the territory. In the court, only the second prince could compete with Xiao Huan.The second prince is generous by nature and has a great talent. There were not a few people who secretly supported him back then, so naturally Xiao Huan would not allow him to stay in this world for a long time due to such disasters.

"Hundreds of people were buried in the sea of ​​flames, and the second brother's child who was just full moon..." Xiao Yan's face gradually darkened, and his voice revealed coldness: "The most ruthless emperor's family, eldest brother really deserves to be the crown prince, how can you do it?" He articulated it so well.”

Liu Muchen was secretly startled, Xiao Huan's gentle face was almost distorted, he took a step back, while the guards around him leaned forward with scimitars.

Xiao Yan was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Brother wants to kill me, so how do you know that Father didn't know the truth of the year?"

Xiao Huan's face turned pale, but his thinking was still clear. He sneered and said, "If Father knew about it, how could he allow me to this day? Even if he has doubts, I'm afraid there is no evidence."

"But if the same thing happens twice, what do you think Father will think?" Xiao Yan raised the corners of his lips. It was obviously Xiao Huan who came to find trouble, but now he seems to be overwhelmed by him: "Second brother is kind and never treats big brother I have a wicked heart, so I was taken advantage of by some shameless people, but I am different..."

Xiao Yan took out a firework tube from his sleeve, shook it twice in his hand, the screaming sound resounded immediately, and the flames soared into the sky, making people tremble with fear.

"Not to mention what big brother can do to me, even if I die here today, if someone comes, I'm afraid big brother won't be able to escape unscathed."

He didn't say who was coming, but those who could be summoned by signal flares at such a critical moment would definitely not be ordinary people, maybe they were the forces cultivated by Xiao Yan outside.Thinking of this level, Xiao Huan's face became even uglier.

"Seventh brother, big brother doesn't want to make things difficult for you, as long as you hand over what you have, big brother can make a deal with you."

The more anxious Xiao Huan became, the more determined Xiao Yan became: "What deal?"

Xiao Huan lost his temper, his expression changed again and again, and he finally regained his composure: "You and I are fighting here to harm our own strength, but the third brother has already led the [-] troops appointed by the emperor to go north to fight against Zhu Lan. When you come back from victory, your prestige will be even greater than before, if you and I join forces..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.Indeed, if Xiao Yan wants to achieve a great cause, Xiao Yi will undoubtedly be a high wall in front of him. With the strength in his hands, the current Xiao Yan is still unable to compete with him, but if he can get Xiao Huan's help...

But cooperating with Xiao Huan is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.Although Xiao Yi had the military power in his hands, he never did anything to offend Xiao Yan, nor did he show his ambition to win the throne. In addition, when he joined forces with the concubine to frame Ge Feng, he was actually dealing with the prince.

Rather than conspiring with the prince to deal with Xiao Yi, it is better to unite with Xiao Yi to deal with the prince, not to mention that the prince is at the end of his strength tonight, if he can be shown to Xiao Shixian as evidence that he indulged his subordinates in corruption, resulting in the excessive production of military supplies and the death of thousands of soldiers, then he The position of the crown prince can be regarded as the end.

Liu Muchen thought that Xiao Yan could easily figure out these things, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see any reaction. Liu Muchen felt puzzled, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Yan's thoughtful expression.

He is thinking about it!

He is considering Xiao Huan's proposal?

This realization gave Liu Muchen a chill all over, his lips moved slightly, and he murmured: "My lord..."

Xiao Yan looked at him, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "What do you think?"

Liu Muchen looked at him in surprise, for the first time he wasn't sure if he was joking.

"His Royal Highness!" At this moment, a person rushed in from the door, and he whispered a few words in Xiao Huan's ear, the latter's face suddenly changed, he turned his head to look at Liu Muchen, almost at the same moment, Xiao Yan stepped forward and blocked the person behind him.

Xiao Huan's two gazes of wanting to execute Ling Chi were bounced back exactly by Xiao Yan, but he didn't have the time to become angry, he just yelled at the Eastern Palace guards who were already prepared to bleed :"Walk!"

The guards had never seen Xiao Huan yelling so angrily, and they were all beating their drums in their hearts, not daring to delay any longer, so they filed out with their masters, and the courtyard returned to the original silence for a while.

Xiao Yan chuckled lightly: "You did it?"

Liu Muchen nodded unconsciously, the picture in his mind still remained on Xiao Yan's thoughtful face from before.

"My lord really wants to unite with the prince to deal with King Beiding?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "You don't want to?"

Liu Muchen shook his head: "This is not a wise move, the prince should know."

Xiao Yan remained silent, he looked into Liu Muchen's eyes, his secretive face was reflected in the latter's clear pupils...

Xiao Yan also seemed to be frightened by his own appearance, he raised his hand and stared blankly for a while, and finally pressed it on Liu Muchen's head, with the usual smile on his face: "I know. "

Liu Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that Xiao Yan had returned to normal, Fang said: "We also need to enter the palace quickly, I'm afraid Fu Cheng can't handle it alone."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Fu Cheng?"

It was only then that Liu Muchen remembered that he hadn't told Xiao Yan about the troubles he had caused with Liubu, and he gave a rough outline of the matter like beans poured from a bamboo tube. Liu Muchen suddenly felt a little scared: "This time, I'm helping the prince to offend everyone... ..."

"Sooner or later this day will come..." Xiao Yan smiled lightly, not to mention being afraid that he couldn't be kind, he seemed to be in high spirits.

Liu Muchen smiled, and the uneasiness in his heart finally dissipated.

Xiao Yan's abnormal behavior before was like a small thorn in his heart, which always left him with lingering fears. Otherwise, he would not be so guilty in normal times, for fear that his own opinion would not be in line with Xiao Yan's wishes...

There was a wave of heat on the cheeks that were blown cold by the cold wind, Xiao Yan held Liu Muchen's face up, and said seriously: "No matter what happens, I will trust you. In front of me, there is no need to have the slightest scruples or cover-ups."

Liu Muchen was taken aback by Xiao Yan's nonsensical words, and nodded after a long time.

The two of them had changed their clothes and were about to leave the palace when the eunuch who passed the order suddenly came outside the door. Coincidentally, it was the order for Liu Muchen to enter the palace.

"It's finally started..." Liu Muchen sighed secretly, looking at the deserted street, he suddenly remembered something, he smiled and said, "Where is the person the lord is looking for?"

That smile was quite meaningful. Xiao Yan had set off the fireworks early in the morning, even if he was looking for help from outside the city, it should be here by now.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Did you know that this king is playing tricks?"

Liu Muchen chuckled: "Unless the lord has forces under his command that I don't know about."

These words were quite self-satisfied, but instead of being annoyed, Xiao Yan threw himself on Liu Muchen like a big hairy dog, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to hide anything, otherwise the lady will be angry." Isn’t it hard for me not to let my husband go to bed?”

Liu Muchen: "..."

Ignoring Xiao Yan's irrelevant nonsense, Liu Muchen said: "The crown prince is suspicious. The prince plays well, so he naturally has scruples."

Xiao Yan rubbed Liu Muchen's neck with his head: "Are you more and more pleasing to me?"

Liu Muchen didn't answer, but instead poured cold water on him: "My lord has too few troops at present. Brother Han has just entered the court, even though Lord Han is there, he still feels a bit helpless."

Xiao Yan asked: "Then what do you think this king should do?"

Liu Muchen stared at the moonlit ground, and murmured, "Military merit..."

Xiao Yan's throne was obtained purely by Xiao Shixian's favor, and the weight of Xiao Yi's throne is totally different.Warriors are no better than literati, even if they enter the court, they still have some blood in their bodies. It may not be so easy to make them willingly submit to a prince who has grown up in a honey pot.

Liu Muchen bowed his head in deep thought, while Xiao Yan stared at him with a smile on his face, and the eunuch sent orders to turn his head from time to time, for fear that these two people who were walking without looking at the road would fall into the moat.

The strange yet relaxed atmosphere didn't last long. When the three of them arrived, the hall was already full of civil servants and military generals, big and small. Judging from the posture, it seemed that the morning court started early.

The only difference is that in the early court, Xiao Shixian's face would not be so dark, and there would not be so many trembling, bewildered officials kneeling in front of the throne.

"See Your Majesty, My Majesty..."

"Forget it!" Before Liu Muchen could finish his ceremony, he was interrupted by Xiao Shixian in a deep voice: "Fu Cheng wrote a letter, claiming that the six accounts contain hidden secrets. As the inspector of the censor, I ask you, is this true?"

Liu Muchen glanced at the officials lying all over the floor, and Wu Ce, Minister of the Ministry of War, was among them.

Ignoring the fiery gazes from Xiao Huan and Pan Xu behind him, Liu Muchen said loudly: "What Mr. Fu said is true. There are indeed discrepancies in the accounts of the six ministries. From my point of view, there are no less than a hundred corrupt officials involved here, down to the principal." , Master Bo, up to the minister, the minister, the emperor only needs to check one by one to know the truth."

He paused for a moment, then directly threw the spearhead out: "Am I right, Mr. Wu?"

Wu Ce came out by his name and surname, and immediately retorted loudly: "Liu Muchen, don't spout blood here!"

"If I spitting blood, why would my lord kneel here?"

Liu Muchen smiled disapprovingly, and immediately distinguished with reason and evidence. Many of the words were said by Fu Cheng before, and everyone had no time to think about whether they had passed on the words in advance, because everyone involved in the case knew it well, what they said It is indeed a fact.

"Although Mr. Wu is an expensive minister, he can spend ten gold every day in the Qin Building and Chu Pavilion, but I don't know where he got the money from?"

There are many people in the procuratorate who are higher in rank than Liu Muchen, but none of them jumped out to answer the question. It's not that they don't have evidence, but that there are Pan Xu and the crown prince behind Wu Ce. This is well known in the court. .

"Shangshu Wu Ce of the Ministry of War..." Xiao Shixian's face was frosty, and he said in a deep voice: "Minister Xu Er of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Rites..."

He leisurely reported a long list of names, and finally, he hammered the final blow on the sweat-drenched backs of those officials: "The above-mentioned officials involved in the case will be put in prison, and their family wealth will be checked, and they will be punished after hearing!"

Shouts sounded one after another in the hall, Xiao Huan and Pan Xu stood aside, their faces were pale and gloomy, and they turned a blind eye to the eyes that were thrown at them for help.

"Father, my son has a book to play!"

The scene became extremely solemn for a moment, and everyone held their breaths. They looked at Xiao Yan standing beside Liu Muchen, and knew that this day had finally come...
