Chapter 238 Love Brain
Chapter 238 Love Brain
After Mu Hansu gave instructions about the matters in the military camp, he went into the palace.
He hadn't been to the palace for a long time, and the eunuchs around the emperor were more welcoming to him than seeing their own father.
He smiled in a flattering manner, which made Mu Hansu frown.
The eunuch shuddered reflexively when he saw that Mu Hansu was unhappy.
With a bitter face, he said, "Your Majesty, please be kind to us servants. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, and our servants are having a hard time."
Mu Hansu knew that the emperor was in a bad mood recently because of the deposed queen.
In fact, he could understand it, after all, the queen was the woman he had loved for many years.
The emperor had always thought that she was virtuous and dignified, but who knew that she was actually such a vicious person and even stabbed the emperor in the back for the Zhou family. How could the emperor not be sad?
If it were in the past, Mu Hansu would definitely not understand.
But now with Lu Chenshuang he can understand the emperor's feelings.
Mu Hansu entered the Hanlong Palace and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne in a daze.
It was not until Mu Hansu spoke up and saluted the emperor that the emperor came back to his senses and there was some color in his eyes.
He looked at Mu Hansu and said, "Ninth brother is going to marry a princess soon, how can you still think of coming to the palace to see your brother?"
Mu Hansu replied calmly: "Of course I have something important to report, otherwise I would never enter the palace.
It is much better to be kind to my future princess than to my brother."
The emperor looked at Mu Hansu viciously. Didn't he know that Mu Hansu was sad? He even rubbed salt into his wounds. He was indeed his own brother.
In fact, the emperor was not that sad. The affection between him and the queen had been almost worn out by his repeated efforts to clean up her mess. He just couldn't understand how a person could pretend for so many years. He was so tired for the queen.
Mu Hansu was not afraid of the emperor's frowning eyes. In his opinion, all the emperor's majestic movements were just winks.
The emperor was the first to give in and said, "Tell me, what is the important matter?"
Mu Hansu replied calmly: "Prince Gong is planning a rebellion."
The emperor didn't react at first, but then he asked loudly, "What did you say? Who wants to rebel, Uncle Gong? Impossible?
He was half buried in the ground and yet he wanted to rebel."
Mu Hansu replied: "Although he is old, he still has a son."
The emperor thought of Prince Gong's son and frowned, saying, "But that son of his only concern is spending his days in debauchery. He is not capable of anything."
Mu Hansu sneered and said, "Living a life of debauchery is not a big deal, I'm afraid it's just a facade to deceive the world.
He was able to coax Rong An into bed, which shows that he has put a lot of effort into this aspect."
The emperor opened his mouth wide when he heard this. What a big news he had just heard.
And how come his ninth brother knows everything, even who Prince Gong has slept with?
So he asked, "How do you know about Prince Gong and Rong An? How come I don't know such explosive news?
Moreover, I sent Rong An to the Kingdom of Xiwa to marry him. Wouldn't this make enemies with Xiwa?"
Mu Hansu knew that his royal brother was unreliable. At this time, he did not care about Prince Gong's rebellion, but instead cared about these messy things.
Mu Hansu said unhappily, “Brother, are you concerned about the wrong thing?
Shouldn't you be worried about Prince Gong's rebellion now?
Besides, it’s not a good idea for such gossip about an emperor to spread out.”
The emperor laughed awkwardly when he heard this. He had been depressed for so many days and just wanted to have some fun.
However, it was not appropriate for a great emperor to do so, so he coughed and said, "Don't you have my ninth brother here? Even ten Prince Gongs are no match for you.
I believe in you. Look, he hasn't even started a rebellion yet, but you've already discovered him."
Mu Hansu: ……
Look, is this what an emperor should say? If it weren't for Lu Chenshuang, he really wouldn't have discovered these things about Prince Gong.
In the end, Mu Hansu told the emperor everything that Wang Youde had investigated.
The emperor looked solemn for the first time after hearing this. Prince Gong had been planning this for a long time.
He didn't care about the throne, but it was passed down to him by his father. If he gave it to Mu Hansu, it would be fine. But if Prince Gong rebelled, it would be strange if his father didn't dethrone him in the underworld.
The emperor asked solemnly, "What should we do according to my ninth brother's opinion?"
Mu Hansu thought for a moment and said, "Although Prince Gong is in the capital now, most of the officials in Ganzhou have already surrendered to him. My brother should send reliable officials to disintegrate their power from within.
As for the military, I will be in charge. I will find a way to persuade their generals to rebel.
As for Prince Gong and his son, since they have been staying in the capital, there is no need to let them go back. It would be best to plan carefully and lure them into a trap before closing the door and hitting the dog. "
The emperor nodded and said, "Ninth brother is right. If we resort to war directly, there will be great loss of lives and the common people will suffer.
We should first further disintegrate his power and make him desperate to reduce casualties."
There is nothing that can be done about it. Prince Gong has become a powerful figure and it is impossible to get rid of him in one go.
The two brothers had already discussed a countermeasure, and the emperor returned to his nonchalant attitude.
He looked at the purse on Mu Hansu's waist and his mouth twitched. When did his ninth brother have such bad taste?
Finally, the emperor couldn't help but said, "Ninth brother, is the Zhan Palace going to go bankrupt soon?
I heard that you gave a lot of good things to the Lu family as a betrothal gift a few days ago.
If you can’t make it through life, tell your brother. After all, he is the emperor and he won’t let you live a miserable life.”
Mu Hansu was a little confused, but he still replied calmly: "Thank you for your concern, brother. I still need your things. You should leave them to the sisters-in-law in the harem."
The emperor saw that Mu Hansu had hit him in the heart, so he said unceremoniously, "Since the Zhan Palace is still okay, why do you wear such a shabby purse?
Which embroiderer made this? A few blades of grass were embroidered on the purse of a great prince. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud when they see it?"
Mu Hansu heard this and said unhappily: "Royal brother, your eyesight is a bit bad, this is clearly embroidered with bamboo, don't you see that it is embroidered with green pines in the mountains and stunning beauties in the world?
How can ordinary flowers and plants be worthy of these two sentences?
This was embroidered by my wife herself. My dear brother, don’t complain about grapes when you can’t have them.”
After saying this, he walked out of Hanlong Palace without looking back.
The emperor couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this. Why did he feel that his always wise and brave ninth brother was so love-brained?
