"Grassman, not guilty."

As soon as this remark came out, the entire hall was in an uproar. Some veteran ministers couldn't stand it any longer, and said angrily, "Musu! How dare you speak wild words in front of His Majesty!"

Musu's movements remained unchanged, he almost interrupted the old minister's words, and said loudly: "Lord Zhou! How dare you ask Musu what he did?"

The old minister was suddenly stopped by Mu Su's words, stepped out and looked at Xie Huan, "Your Majesty!"

Xie Huan closed her eyes, looked at Musu who was kneeling at her feet, and said coldly: "You pretended to be dead when you went out as an envoy, Lang Yue is deceiving you. You colluded with He Lou to ride the night and completely forgot your identity as a courtier of Daxia. This is treason. Bullying the emperor and treason, these two crimes, no matter what kind, should kill the nine clans."

Musu's eyelashes drooped, and he said calmly, "Does Your Majesty have evidence?"

Xie Huan frowned: "Do I still need to show you the evidence?"

There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, Musu sighed slightly, and said, "Is this why the late emperor killed the Caomin family?"

After saying these words, the commotion in the entire hall suddenly froze again, and even Zhang Yuan was suddenly frightened so that his face turned blue.

Now at this juncture, who dares to mention this matter?Even though the whole world knows it well, but Musu mentioning this matter in this place is tantamount to asking for death.

As expected, Xie Huan's face changed, and he stood up abruptly, his voice raised an octave: "Musu! Do you really think I won't kill you?!"

Mu Su's face remained unchanged, he looked up at Xie Huan: "I dare not, but Your Majesty will not."

"You!" Xie Huan was suddenly stopped by him, and sneered again: "Why didn't I kill you. If I want to kill you, it is reasonable and righteous. I will kill you more than ten times."

"Because you know I'm innocent." Mu Sulang said in a terrifyingly calm voice, "Because you are Xie Huan."

"Musu! You actually called His Majesty by his name!" The ministers behind were suddenly angry and startled, accusing Musu one after another, and then looked at Xie Huan.

Unexpectedly, Xie Huan was not as furious as they imagined, but looked into Musu's eyes and suddenly laughed.

He chuckled twice, then sat back on the dragon chair, supported himself on the armrest with his hands, and said, "You know, those few words you just said are enough to bring your soul back to Jiuquan."

Musu shook his head and remained silent, but the back of his underwear was already slightly wet.

Xie Huan raised his hand and said, "Get up."

Mu Su nodded slightly, and respectfully said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." His knees were a little weak, and he put down his hands, but he still stood up and straightened his robe.

"Although I have no evidence, you cannot prove your innocence for these two crimes. Whether it is true or not is only clear to you." Xie Huan regained his indifference and said, "There should be punishment."

Musu said nothing, just stood there.

An old minister stepped out behind him, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the Musu tattoo should be distributed to the frontiers! Otherwise, if the crime of deceiving the emperor and treason is raised high and gently lowered, wouldn't it be a disaster for future generations? Good precedent!"

As soon as the old official finished speaking, another person stood up and said: "Your Majesty! I think that not only should Musu be punished, but also the nine clans should be demoted into slavery! Not only the crime of Musu, but also the princess committed suicide because of them. In the princess mansion!"

Before the words fell, the other person said angrily: "Absurd! The death of the princess was not the fault of Mu's family in the final analysis. Moreover, His Majesty has already said that there is no conclusive evidence for Mu Su's crime. Isn't it foolish to convict like this!"

For a while, the ministers quarreled, and those who advocated a light sentence and those who advocated a heavy punishment were at loggerheads.Mu Su stood there, listening quietly, Xie Huan's expression was also indifferent, but he waved his hand suddenly and looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan is worthy of being the eunuch for many years, he immediately understood, and said loudly: "Everyone is quiet!!!!"

Some sharp voices instantly quieted the entire court, and everyone froze in place, looking at Xie Huan on the dragon chair.

Xie Huan said angrily, "Did I ask your opinion?"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers immediately fell to their knees and pleaded guilty.

At this time, the only person standing in the entire lobby was Musu.

Xie Huan turned his gaze back to Mu Su, and asked: "You still have the opportunity to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. If you can report the important news you have obtained in the past few years, I can consider it at my discretion, and I can also give you a chance to explain it. "

Musu stood in front of the court hall, with only a simple wooden hairpin on his head, his face was even a little blue, but his eyes were extremely calm and peaceful.

"The grassroots have nothing to say."

Xie Huan frowned: "Don't be ignorant of compliments."

Mu Su knelt down softly, raised his hand, and raised his voice a bit: "Your Majesty, no matter what, I really have nothing to say. Please understand the grassroots and don't make things difficult."

"Musu, even if you are no longer a servant of Great Xia, you are still a member of Xia!" Xie Huan said sharply, "Would you rather defend a country and monarch that imprisoned you and caused your family to be destroyed? For the sake of being the prince's teacher, I have given you so many opportunities, but for the sake of Da Xia, I cannot tolerate you again and again."

Musu closed his eyes in some pain, knelt down on the ground slowly, and kowtowed, his voice seemed a little weak: "The grass people are only ashamed of His Majesty's grace."

Xie Huan's voice also stagnated.

In the entire court hall, no one dared to speak for a moment, and the sound of sweat slipping could be heard quietly.

Musu knelt down on the ground, closed his eyes, took deep breaths, and resisted the desire to raise his head.

Suddenly hearing the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, Xie Huan's voice seemed a little low.

"Musu, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, was detained as an envoy to Langyue because there was insufficient evidence of his crime of colluding with Langyue. Now, all his official positions will be removed and he will be demoted to a commoner. He will not be allowed to enter Pingjing again for the rest of his life."

Someone behind him wanted to say something, but was held back by another person. Mu Su closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Cao Min, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Xie Huan stood up, Zhu Cui made a clear and crisp sound, and the voice seemed a bit indifferent: "Retire."

Everyone behind them knelt down, their voices neat and clear.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Musu was the last one to walk out of the hall. It's not that he didn't want to leave here, but he just didn't want to see the various faces of those ministers again.Whether it is good or bad, he will have nothing to do with this place.

After walking down the 99 steps, Mu Su saw Zhang Yuan.Zhang Yuan bowed to him and saluted him, then said softly, "Master Musu, Your Majesty invites you to the Hall of Yonghe."

Mu Su was slightly taken aback, but still bowed his hands and returned the salute: "I'll go right away, thank you Eunuch Zhang."

While leading the way, Zhang Yuan sighed, "Master Musu, after you leave here, you must take care of yourself."

Mu Su smiled and said, "It must be, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment to His Majesty's grace."

"You said that I have lived for so many years and have served as Emperor Xia for three generations. I am familiar with the wind of this imperial city, but the word "impermanence in life" is still not written smoothly." Zhang Yuan looked at the sky and said: "Mu Lord Su, you are all children I have watched grow up, this old servant hopes that you can grow up safely, and I don't want to see you and His Majesty part ways because of this."

Mu Su sighed, looked at the Palace of Eternal Harmony close in front of him, and said with a smile: "No one can go the same way forever, and they will eventually go on different paths. Your Majesty's move is for my own good, and Eunuch Zhang doesn't have to worry too much. Pay attention to your body."

Zhang Yuan stopped, turned his head to look at Musu, and said with a sudden smile: "It seems that you have grown a lot in the past few years. Then don't worry about this old slave." Zhang Yuan saluted Musu, and then watched Musu enter The Hall of Eternal Harmony.

After Musu made the announcement, he walked into the brown-carpeted palace. Xie Huan changed into his normal clothes, sat in front of the table, and watched Musu who walked in.

Musu knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Caomin has seen His Majesty."

Xie Huan didn't answer, he just stood up, walked slowly in front of Musu, stretched out his hands to support Musu's arms and helped him up, his voice became less heavy and majestic, even with a hint of crying.

"Brother Yan Luan..."

Mu Su was stunned, he raised his head to look at the still immature Xie Huan's eyebrows, looked at his pair of star-like eyes that were exactly the same as Xie Yan, and suddenly lost his voice.

"I thought you would have died in Langyue a long time ago... until that day, He Loucheng killed everyone in the tent at night and ruined all my martial arts. I thought he would kill me, but I never thought He said he wouldn't kill me, because he didn't want to make you sad." Xie Huan's eyes trembled, and then he smiled wryly: "I didn't know until now that you really didn't die..."

Mu Su stood up, looked at Xie Huan, was a little stiff for a while, and said after a long silence, "You don't hate him?"

Xie Huan frowned, and the expression between his eyebrows became indifferent: "Hate. He abolished my martial arts and directly caused the death of my father. It is absolutely impossible to say that I don't hate him. And I am a big The Emperor of Xia, he is my lifelong enemy."

Musu opened his mouth and said, "Huan'er..."

Xie Huan turned around and returned to his seat, sighed and said, "It's just the two of us now, I just want to know one thing, brother Yan Luan, are you on the side of He Lou Cheng Ye?"

Musu's head drooped slightly, he smiled and said, "Huan'er, you are really different now. I can't see through you at all."

Xie Huan's eyelashes drooped, and he said calmly: "These years, not only you, but what I, including my father, have experienced is enough to make people grow too much... So, can you answer my question directly?"

Mu Su was a little melancholy, and sighed slightly: "I'm not on anyone's side. I'm from Xia, and I also have friends from Lang Yue. After the death of everyone in the Mu Mansion, I told myself that from now on, I will only fight for myself. live."

Xie Huan stared at Mu Su for a long time, then suddenly laughed.The smile was a little bitter.

"Now I know why my father told me that he envied you." Xie Huan said, "Even if we want to live for ourselves, it is really impossible."

"Everyone in the world wants to sit on this dragon chair, and everyone in the world wants to gain the power and glory of being accidentally injured. But if you sit on it for a long time, you will lose yourself." Xie Huan sighed: "In the end, you can't give up. If you are a king, you can only give up to be yourself."

Mu Su blinked and said, "One can only choose one path, one cannot have both in one's life. And the price is always equal. Since you have chosen to become the king above everyone, the price will be equally cruel."

Xie Huan looked at Mu Su with a wry smile: "Brother Yan Luan, do you know that my father mentioned you before he died?"

Musu's fingers trembled, and he looked up at him without answering.

"He said that he has never failed the world in this life, he has never failed anyone, but you. The best news he got before he passed away was that you were still alive and successfully returned to Daxia. He has no face to see you , let me make it up to you for him." Xie Huan clenched his hands slightly, a little excited: "He said that if he could start over in this life, he might not choose to become the prince, but if he didn't become the prince, how would he fulfill the promise he deserved? What about your promise?"

Musu's chest was in pain, and he couldn't breathe for a moment. He closed his eyes and said, "No matter how you choose, the result may not be satisfactory. Now may be the best ending."

Xie Huan smiled and said, "Yes, maybe this is the best ending..."

He paused, then looked at Mu Su suddenly: "Brother Yan Luan, have you ever had my royal father in your heart?"

Musu closed his eyes, and his voice was firm and steady: "He has never left, whether it is hatred or other feelings, after all, he was the most important person in my life. However, people will change, and they will gradually appreciate him more. Clear your mind."

"Really..." Unexpectedly, Xie Huan was not sad or angry, and even had a hint of relief and melancholy in his tone.

"Brother Yan Luan, you are in love with He Lou Cheng Ye, aren't you?"

Suddenly, Xie Huan's voice rang out, causing Musu to feel like a thorn in his back, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Xie Huan's eyes became deeper and deeper, and gradually became colder.

"He made mistakes in the battle with my father because of you, didn't he?" His voice became deeper and colder, and a painful and indifferent smile appeared on Xie Huan's face. .

"But sorry, brother Yan Luan, I will kill He Lou Chengye."
