Stealing Hook [Rebirth]

Xie Zhiyi, courtesy name Wenxian, was selected by Mo Yuan three years ago when he was 14 years old, and he began to study with Lin Zhiqiu three years ago. Pick one person, and quickly pick Xie Zhiyi.

Xie Zhiyi was dependent on his mother in Zhuangzi at that time, and their lives were extremely difficult. Mo Yuan chose him because firstly, he had secretly observed his character, secondly, because his identity was destined to stand against the old emperor, and thirdly, because he Since he was born, he has never received any kind treatment from the outside world. Except for his mother, it can be said that he has no worries.

It also happened that Zhuangzi was not too far away from Lianjiabao, and no one cared about the mother and son living there, so Mo Yuan sent someone to bring him to Lianjiabao to receive Lin Zhiqiu's teaching, and he studied there for three years. In the past three years, something happened to Mo Yuan, and Xie Zhiyi knew about it, but he was neither arrogant nor impatient, and was highly appreciated by Lin Zhiqiu. Shi gets along very well, and protects Ah Shi in every way, which makes the Lian family feel very relieved.

Xie Zhiyi met the wishes of Mo Yuan, Lin Zhiqiu and Lian Jiabao, and there was no other more suitable candidate than him.

After Lin Zhiqiu entered the palace, according to Mo Yuan's wishes, he carefully examined the schools of the clan children. During the examination, many ministers were present, and anyone with eyes could tell that Xie Zhiyi's qualifications were obviously much higher than others. The ministers looked at Xie Zhiyi with admiration and were full of admiration.

In the end, Lin Zhiqiu accepted Xie Zhiyi as a student, and Mo Yuan asked Xie Zhiyi to stay in the palace to study, and picked a few well-qualified clan children to accompany him.

Mo Yuan made this arrangement with obvious intentions, and the capital is undercurrents. Naturally, some people are in favor of it and some are against it, but Mo Yuan didn't say anything on the surface. Although he acted unexpectedly, he couldn't catch the wrong thing, and they couldn't say anything against it. rise.

And just when the rest of the clan children were packing their bags and preparing to leave Beijing, Yingwei, who went to Xie Zhili's house to investigate, returned to Beijing and brought back all kinds of conclusive evidence. The many evil deeds of Xie Zhili's family were enough for them to drink a pot, let alone them He also concealed the imperial decree and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Mo Yuan immediately decreed that Xie Zhili's family would be removed from the clan, stripped of their titles, and demoted to common people. Xie Zhili's father was sent to prison for concealing the imperial edict, and at the same time, other members of the clan were also charged with "ignorance". Each was punished.

Although it is said that princes commit the same crimes as the common people, in fact, in the past, when the children of the royal family committed crimes, as long as it was not such a serious crime as treason, they would generally be punished lightly. A family was convicted but strictly followed the law, which shocked all the officials in the court for a while.

Mo Yuan glanced at the officials, put one hand lightly on his belly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the teaching from the ancestors, and the law is like this. They have committed crimes and will be punished as they should. If I forgive them today In the future, if other people are lucky enough to deceive the emperor, should I punish them? If ordinary people commit crimes, will the government arrest them?"

The ministers had no intention of interceding for Xie Zhili's family, and even many honest people among them had long been dissatisfied with the successive emperors' protection of criminal royal children, and even hated the protection of officials and officials. Seeing Mo Yuan being so stern and selfless, Shocked and agitated, they all knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is holy!"

Mo Yuan softened his expression, and said again: "However, there is no rush to take care of their affairs, just take it easy."

The ministers froze for a moment, raised their heads, noticed his hand on his stomach, and their faces were stunned.

Mo Yuan slowly said: "I am pregnant, so it is not appropriate to see blood or kill. In order to accumulate blessings for the child in my womb, I have decided to amnesty the world. Anyone who commits minor crimes will not be blamed for the past, and those who commit major crimes will be punished. Those who commit heinous crimes can be exempted from the death penalty, and those who commit national crimes are not included in the pardon, but they can be prosecuted for one year. Do you have any objections?"

Naturally, the ministers had no objection, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted "Long live" three times, and shouted "The emperor is merciful".

The emperor did not amnesty the world when he ascended the throne, but at this time he gave the emperor's order of amnesty for the unborn child in his womb. The emperor treats the child very seriously!

Mo Yuan said again: "There are other criminals, regardless of whether they have committed major or minor crimes, they will be dealt with in the same way as national criminals, and their punishment will be postponed for one year."

There is a limit to the amnesty of the world. Which prisoners are included in the amnesty and which prisoners are excluded? Different dynasties have different standards, and the criminals of the country are the criminals who resist the imperial power, such as treason and deception. It is impossible to easily pardon it in the hands of any emperor. In addition, each emperor will slightly change the degree and scope of the pardon according to his own ideas, but I don’t know what the current emperor said when he changed it. Who are they.

After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he asked the eunuch to read out the roster, and the ministers listened attentively, all of them were frightened.

These people are all court officials and relatives of the emperor who were investigated by the Yingwei not long ago and ordered to be executed by the emperor. To put it bluntly, they are the enemies of the emperor. Living crimes cannot be pardoned. After the emperor gives birth to a child, they will have to deal with them in whatever way they want, and none of them can get away with it.

The ministers raised their eyes and peeked at Mo Yuan who was sitting on the dragon chair, and they couldn't help but be impressed while being shocked.

Who in the world doesn't know that the emperor studied under Mr. Liuyun?Just relying on the high-strength martial arts skills of jumping over walls and killing people invisible, as well as the medical skills of saving lives and healing the wounded, and the proficiency in various medicinal materials, isn't it easy for the emperor to take revenge?But he has been hiding his name outside for more than ten years, but he has never done anything to those people. Instead, he chose the most dignified way, and it is also the most difficult way.

The emperor is really... tough and open-minded!

The emperor will become a generation of Mingjun in the future!

The ministers were overwhelmed and wanted to show their loyalty again, but Mo Yuan suddenly said: "I only have one person next to me, and I will not choose a concubine in the future, but in this way, the descendants are indeed a little weaker. , I have made a decision."

The ministers all raised their heads, and saw Mo Yuan nodding his head as a signal. The eunuch next to him took out an imperial decree and opened it, and read it aloud.

The ministers were dumbfounded.

This... this... Xie Zhiyi is 17 years old, and he wants to be the emperor's son?

The matter of inheriting incense, age is not a big problem, but it is the first time that this kind of thing has happened to the emperor, not to mention that the current emperor already has a direct son, and he is pregnant with a child who does not know whether it is a prince or a princess. , where do you need an heir?

Those who only heard that their offspring were weak took concubines and had more children, but those who had never heard of their offspring were adopted from within the clan!The family has no choice but to select a child from the clan to inherit the incense. Your majesty, why are you joining in the fun!

The answer has already faintly surfaced, but some people still dare not believe it easily.

And just before everyone recovered, Mo Yuan issued a second imperial decree - making the eldest prince Xie Zhiyi the crown prince.

The ministers were already on the verge of collapse, but none of them asked the emperor to take back his order. The few who were really stubborn had already been bedridden by Mo Yuan's anger. .After all, the imperial decree has been issued, and their objection is to resist the decree. Besides, they are in the position of supporting the emperor, and Xie Zhiyi is the emperor's favorite. Xie Zhiyi's appointment as the crown prince does not have much impact on them. You risk your life in vain.

What's more, the emperor is only a few years older than the prince, and it is uncertain who will live longer than the other in the future. It is not certain whether the prince will be the emperor or not!

Mo Yuan looked at the stunned ministers below, and nodded with satisfaction: "Since all the ministers have no objections, this matter is settled. The prince will move to the East Palace today."

Ministers: "..."

After the matter was settled, Mo Yuan spoke again, with a smile on his face: "Yesterday, there was an urgent report that the war in southern Xinjiang has subsided, and the Jiuxi people have returned to their homeland."

The ministers stared straight-eyed, a little surprised in their hearts. The tribes in Nanjiang only submitted to the imperial court on the surface, but they did not pay attention to the emperor of the Central Plains. It is absolutely impossible for the Jiuxi tribe to win more with less in this battle. It means that the Jiuxi Clan does have this strength, but they haven't fallen for so many years, how come they suddenly become so powerful?

However, the emperor specifically mentioned this matter, so there must be something else to say. Thinking of this, the ministers are busy listening.

Mo Yuan let out a long sigh: "After the unjust, false and wrong cases of the past, the Jiuxi clan has no longer been prosperous in the past. I intend to confer titles on them, firstly to make up for the pain of the year, and secondly to comfort the clansmen and parents under the Jiuquan. Three times, I also hope that they will recover as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Wherever the ministers have any objections, it is natural that he will do whatever he says.

Mo Yuan seemed to be in a better mood, his smile deepened, and he said: "I have been living abroad for more than ten years. Thanks to my master's care, my master has treated me as much as a mountain. Unfortunately, there are still people outside who have slandered my master's reputation. What do you think about sending a plaque at the door to rectify Master's name?"

Ministers: "..."

not so.

Not really.

Isn't this too stingy?

Mo Yuan added another sentence: "The inscription is written by myself."

Ministers: "..."

It's still not good, and I want to feel wronged for the teacher.

"Why doesn't your majesty add officials to their ranks? Once they become officials, they must..."

"No need." Mo Yuan interrupted the minister with a smile, "The master doesn't like these hypocrites."

Ministers: "..."

Being an official is a real benefit!The plaque is false!

Mo Yuan looked at their indescribable expressions, and said with a smile: "That's it, let's retreat."
