Chapter 1083 Fury
A few days later, the entire imperial capital was shocked by an invitation from the Mu family.
The content of the invitation was very simple. The Mu family was going to hold a big banquet to celebrate the reunion of the former head of the Mu family, Mu Fangli, and his grandson. At the same time, in the presence of various famous families, he was included in the Mu family's genealogy.
Mu Fangli has a grandson?
Everyone who received the invitation was stunned. After thinking carefully for a long time, they shook their heads.
No, Old Ghost Mu only has one wife and two daughters. The two daughters are twins. After his wife died, he didn’t take any more grandchildren. How could he have grandchildren!
That is the grandson.
But my grandson...
Mu Xueqing's child? Whose child does she have? She has come back?
So Huzhi made a fortune, and transaction requests to inquire about Mu Xueqing's current situation were flying in like flakes. Mu Xueqing, who had not heard from her for a long time, returned to the sight of Dayan's top wealthy families because of this matter. It became popular.
The result of the inquiry was shocking. Mu Xueqing did not come back at all. She was still in Taixu Palace. Although it is said that she is very close to the "Ruthless Sword Master" Ye Zhichen, she is still single and has no marriage leave at all, let alone children.
So the question is, where did this kid come from?
You can deceive others with deception, but you can't deceive Mu Fangli. Old Ghost Mu's magic can even kill ghosts, who in the world can deceive him?
As a result, Hu Zhi knew another windfall, and inquiries about Mu Fangli's grandson's transactions came in like an avalanche.
The omnipotent Zhizhi naturally satisfied the needs of the customers. After "all kinds of hardships" and "risks of life and death", he finally found out the news about the child. He was indeed Mu Fangli's grandson. But it's not Mu Xueqing's child, but the only son of the long-dead eldest daughter Mu Xueling.
Zhizhi, who had "worked so hard", had made a lot of money, while the wealthy people who were carrying the "hard-won" news were dumbfounded, and each one of them was even more confused.
If others don't know about the relationship between Mu Xueling and Yuwen Tailuo, how can they not know it? Mu Xueling's child is naturally Yuwen Tailuo's biological child. But when the child comes back, he doesn't go to his father to recognize his ancestor and become a prince. He went after his grandfather, and the details here are very intriguing.
Thinking about some of the rumors in the market back then, everyone was awe-inspiring. It seemed that Mr. Mu was ready to dig up the unsolved case and put it to trial. That child was the first bell he rang, a letter of challenge to Emperor Yanling.
Such a fun thing, how could these rich families miss it? They all responded happily and said they would definitely go. At the same time, they secretly sent messages to their friends to speculate on the evolution of the situation.
The Yuwen royal family and the Mu family are the two pillars of Dayan, and they have never had a grudge against each other for thousands of years. Today, Mr. Mu sent out such a signal. Whether it was his own intention or the Mu family's intention, this was a great change for Dayan.
Naturally, disasters will happen if the weather changes, but they are not worried about themselves at all. They dare to accept the invitation with their own confidence. Moreover, wealth can be found in danger, and what is a disaster for others is likely to be a blessing for them. How to obtain the greatest benefits in this top-level competition is what they are most interested in.
Even if you have no ambitions and just want to watch a show, being able to witness the disintegration of a pair of good buddies who have been estranged for thousands of years is enough to make people feel that their life is worthwhile.
Since the founding of Dayan, some people have speculated that the Yuwen royal family and the Mu family will fall out. Countless vows have been in vain for more than 10,000 years, and they have become a laughing stock in the mouths of others. Nowadays, the two families have suddenly become turbulent in this way. This is something no one expected.
It's a pity that the laughing stock is dead and can no longer witness the moment when his dream comes true. Fortunately, they are dead, otherwise there would be many more laughing madmen in the imperial capital, and there would be many more heads in the prison of the Supervision Department. Emperor Yanling Yuwen Tailuo would smash many more people after learning about it. A palace.
It was still the imperial study room, but now the room was no longer tidy and the floor was in a mess.
Mr. Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his head lowered and remained silent. There were only him and Yuwen Tailuo in the room, and he hadn't seen Yuwen Tailuo so angry for a long time.
Of course, today's anger is deserved.
"Ten days! It's been ten days since Li Chuyi entered the city, and your Supervision Department didn't notice at all. What do you do for a living! You're just a bunch of losers!!!"
Yuwen Tailuo pointed at Mr. Wen's nose and cursed, then clapped his hands several times angrily, making the mess on the ground even more fragmented.
Mr. Wen said nothing. He waited for Yuwen Tailuo to stop and then spoke softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This time it was indeed an oversight by the Supervision Department. I have ordered people to remove all the personnel responsible for this matter and investigate. I am willing to accept any of your suggestions." But I still have to say, there is something really strange about this matter! It was only yesterday that I received news that Li Chuyi was still in Tianmen Mountain, and I was suddenly surprised to find out that he was at the Mu Family House! You know the ability, but I will never believe it if no one else intervened to cover up his whereabouts!"
"You don't believe it, and neither do I. But the question is who interfered. Have you found out?! An 'outsider's intervention' can make you deaf and blind. When did my dignified Supervision Department of Dayan become a At this level, is this still my inspection department? This is a laughing stock!”
Sighing secretly, Mr. Wen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the time is too short and no clues have been found yet, but this matter is not difficult to guess. There are only four families who have the ability to hide it from us, the Motang of Taixu Palace, the Yao Wanxiang of the clan, Liuye of the Mu family, and Cicada, the one with the longest hand. But here in the imperial capital, the people from Motang and Wanxiang are not dominant, so although the Liuye of the Mu family is not bad, they are not good in Li. They don’t know as much about the first grade of junior high school as our Supervisory Department, so I speculate that this matter was probably done by Cicada. Only they can do it so seamlessly that our Supervisory Department doesn’t notice even a little bit of news!”
"Got it...!"
Yuwen Tailuo gritted his teeth and chewed these two words.
"Is there any evidence? What did the Seven Day Cicada say?"
Mr. Wen whispered: "There is no evidence yet. Qi Ri Chan didn't reply personally. He only sent one of his subordinates to reply that the matter was not done by someone in the know. They only found out about it after the Mu family sent out the invitation. Afterthought."
"I realized later, haha, do you believe it?" Yuwen Tailuo asked ferociously.
Mr. Wen immediately shook his head: "I don't believe it! But we have no evidence, so we can't ask them about their crimes for the time being!"
"No evidence? Can't they be punished without evidence? This is Dayan! It's my world! I want to deal with him, who dares to disobey!"
Mr. Wen frowned, hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
Yuwen Tailuo also said something out of anger. It would be a trivial matter to clear up the enemy, but it would cause endless troubles. This organization is too old, even much older than the history of the Yuwen clan. No one knows how long they have existed, and no one knows how deep and wide their network is.
It stands to reason that this kind of organization should have been cleaned up long ago, but firstly, the water of Zhizhi is too deep, and the consequences of doing something are too unpredictable. Secondly, Zhizhi also helped the Yuwen family and the Mu family a lot in the dark years ten thousand years ago. With their help, Dayan was able to establish a dynasty and found a country. Without their help, it would have been impossible for the two families to do it alone.
Few people know about the human-monster war that established the status of the Yuwen family and the Mu family. In that battle, the two families planned to trap and kill countless masters on both sides. The decline of one and the other completely laid the foundation for the dominance of the two families. But what is even less known is that in that battle, in addition to the Mu family's clever calculations, Zhi Zhi was also the main driving force.
If I didn't help them spread the news, how could the powerful people in the human world listen to their slander based on their family's current status?
That was the only time that Zhizhi sided with someone. Later, Dayan also erased all information about that battle as required, so that Zhizhi's traces of that battle were completely submerged in the fog of history. Cicada is still clean and fair, but only the people in power of the Yuwen family and the Mu family know that they are not as desireless as they appear.
It is impossible to erase Cicada. Whether it is true or false, Yuwen Tailuo can only bear this loss.
Signaling Mr. Wen to get up, he walked around the room with his hands behind his back, frowning and thinking for a while before stopping.
"Is there a message from the Mu family?"
"No."
"Hmph, what a Mu family, what a Mu Fangli, even if they want to steal their son from me, they don't even send me an invitation. You are really my 'good heavenly master'!"
Yuwen Tailuo gritted his teeth, and Mr. Wen lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
"Go, convey my decree, and announce that Prince Li Chuyi will enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, immediately!"
"yes!"
Mr. Wen hurriedly responded, and then said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what will happen if the Mu family resists the decree? As you know, Emperor Taizu personally issued the decree. Unless the country is about to fall, the Mu family can resist and disobey the decree."
Yuwen Tailuo said coldly: "I know they will not obey the order. Mu Fangli rushes to include Li Chuyi in the Mu family tree just for this important identity! He must have listened to some slander and thought I would kill him Li Chuyi, that's why I want to give that child a gold medal to avoid death! But that's my son, my only son, how could I kill him! I understand his feelings, but I can't accept his actions. So I must take him back, and I will give him the status he deserves! His wedding banquet is in three days. You should draft the imperial edict and send it over now. Remember, don’t mention the Mu family in the edict. , I am proclaiming 'Prince Li Chuyi', he is alone, he is not a member of the Mu family yet, and he is not qualified to resist the decree, do you understand? "
Mr. Wen nodded and said: "Yes, I will word it properly. It's just that the person who sent the edict... Your Majesty, forgive me for my incompetence. If I go there in person, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in through the door of the Mu family."
Yuwen Tailuo also had a headache. The Mu family's dislike of the five elders was well known.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Is Xiong Ao back?"
"Reporting to my emperor, General Xiong is still cultivating in the East China Sea, but I have sent someone to inform him of the affairs here. I believe he will be back within a few days."
"That's it..."
Yuwen Tailuo rubbed his chin.
"By the way, there is either someone under you, or the one you arranged to deal with Taihao, named..."
"Back to the Emperor, the man's name is Wang Dachuan. He was originally a secretary of the Supervision Department. His official title was Feng Yilang. He is currently the Sima of the Supervision Department. His official title remains unchanged."
"Not Sikou?"
"Back to the emperor, it's not Sikou, it's Sima."
Yuwen Tailuo was very happy: "By mentioning Feng Yilang from the Supervision Department as a Sima, you have slapped the Ministry of War in the face and lost Taihao's face. Aren't you afraid that you will really push them into a hurry?"
Old Wen smiled and said, "The appointment and dismissal of the Supervisory Office is independent of the imperial system. Whether I am the Grand Master or the Sima has nothing to do with them. They have no reason to make trouble."
"Well, Sima is Sima. If you can stop my brother and make him give up his thoughts, I have no objection to you being a general. You are so obsessed with a woman. You are really my brother. You are a seed of infatuation!"
Yuwen Tailuo didn't know what he thought of. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed softly.
"But this identity can disgust Taihao, but it can't suppress the Mu family. That Wang Dachuan can't enter the Mu family. Wait, you will convey my order to promote Wang Dachuan to Zhongsan Doctor and confer the title of second-class earl. Sima doesn't need to be changed, but he must be matched with a doctor's rank to complement each other. With this important identity, I believe the Mu family will not directly refuse him. You let him take the imperial edict to summon Li Chuyi to the palace. If he can't see him, he doesn't have to come back."
Wen Lao heard clearly that Yuwen Tailuo said the word "see" instead of "receive", and his heart was moved.
"Your Majesty, you want him..."
Yuwen Tailuo smiled and nodded: "Don't say too much to him, just convey my meaning to him and let him express it clearly. I want Li Chuyi to know that I don't want to kill him, I want to take him back to reunite with his son. He is my blood, a member of the Yuwen royal family, not the Mu family!"
Wen Lao nodded in response, stood up and left.
Before he walked out of the room, Yuwen Tailuo suddenly said, "By the way, send someone to inform Taihao that Li Chuyi is here, and tell him not to be too impulsive and do stupid things."
Wen Lao was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "This... Now the whole city is in turmoil, the King of Zhenxi should have known about it, is it necessary to send someone to notify him specifically?"
"Of course it is necessary! He stays in his own palace all day and doesn't see guests. I'm afraid that he is not well-informed and 'really' doesn't know that Li Chuyi is here. What if he happens to meet him without any preparation, and he does something stupid again, do you think I will side with my own brother or my beloved son?"
Yuwen Tailuo's tone was gloomy, and Wen Lao's eyes flashed, and he nodded without saying anything.
"Also, you said that all the idiots responsible for Li Chuyi have been arrested?"
"Yes, they have all been arrested, and they are waiting for your decision."
"Very good!"
Yuwen Tailuo nodded slowly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Since they are blind and deaf, there is no need to live so hard. Seal their Dantian and pull out their bones and muscles. They are not allowed to die within ten years! I want them to come with great difficulty and leave with ease!"
Wen Lao was startled and nodded silently.
Just as he turned around and prepared to push the door open, he was moved in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help asking.
"Your Majesty, Li Chuyi...are you really not moving?"
Yuwen Tailuo's eyes turned cold, and then slowly eased.
Looking at his hands, he said softly without raising his head for a long time: "I thought too much at the beginning, and a difference in thought hurt others and myself. Ling'er unfortunately died, and Qi'er's life and death are uncertain. I also...the failure at the beginning was God's will. That was Li Chuyi's life, and it was also my life, so I accept it. Wen Lao, you know that I don't have much time. Now I just want to find a suitable heir, an heir who can let Dayan continue to move forward and move towards endless glory. Don't think too much about other things, understand?"
"Understand." Wen Lao nodded.
In the whole Dayan, he should be the person who knows Yuwen Tailuo best.
"Also, his name is not Li Chuyi!"
Suddenly raising his head, Yuwen Tailuo stared at Wen Lao with burning eyes.
"He is my son, the blood of the Yuwen royal family, his name is Yuwen Xuanqi!"
