HCB Chapter 432 Ruilin Takes Action
Chapter 432 Ruilin Takes Action
He is now the only descendant of the royal family of the Mu family. After he has made his statement publicly, no matter whether it is the aristocratic family or anyone else, they will have no reason to act under his name.
The Emperor of Linyue saw that he was so tactful, so he immediately issued an imperial decree, expressing his gratitude to the Lu and Ji families for their loyalty to the emperor and their patriotism, and to Mu Ruilin for sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice. He specially granted the three families the rank of earl, with their respective surnames as titles, to be hereditary for three generations, and also granted them an earl's mansion in the main city of Zhuocheng.
At this moment, Zhuocheng parachuted in Earl Mu, Earl Ji, and Earl Lu, which immediately overshadowed other local aristocratic families.
But sharp-sighted people smelled something different and asked, the emperor's move was equivalent to putting the three families on the same level, deliberately weakening the uniqueness of the Mu family. From now on, the Mu family is just an ordinary dignitary.
Shen Yu had never expected that Rui Lin would actually describe the previous emperor's act of silencing the entire Lu family as the Lu family's heroic death? Changing from passive to active, the nature of the situation is completely different.
He said that even if the Mu royal family was accused of being ungrateful, it would be of no avail. When others knew the truth, they would at most sigh that the emperor was shameless or that the Lu family's loyalty was worthless.
But sympathy and pity can neither bring true respect nor tangible benefits.
It would be better to put it another way, so that the descendants of the Lu family will be more respected by the people. When it is revealed that Taoist medicine also originated from the Lu family, their achievements in the hearts of the world will be infinitely magnified. This will be the best life-saving talisman for the Lu family!
After all, to the Lu Dynasty, their behavior was tantamount to deceiving the emperor...
The truth back then was known to only a few people anyway, and now that the descendants of the Mu family have personally stamped the Lu family's credit, who dares to question the truth of history? From then on, the Mu family owed the Lu family a huge favor.
Although this kindness existed before, it was covered in blood. Now, it is just a matter of making this good deed public.
The Lu family's imperial physician back then was indeed a loyal and brave man. He risked his life to preserve the last bloodline for the Mu family dynasty, but was not thanked in return and was cruelly exterminated by the monarch...What Mu Ruilin did was just to return the credit that belonged to the Lu family on behalf of his ancestors.
Isn't this more meaningful than exposing the crimes of the last emperor who died hundreds of years ago?
Mu Ruilin's words were so blunt that even Shen Hua was shocked, and his attitude towards him became much more moderate than before. The Lu family would never get over that incident, but now the descendants of that time actually said with their own mouths that their ancestor was ungrateful?
Just hearing these words from him was enough.
Moreover, this young man also solemnly thanked them and expressed his gratitude to them, and his attitude towards the outside world showed how grateful he was to the Lu and Ji families... Shen Hua finally patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Old Master Ji also had mixed feelings as he looked at the determined kid. Under his upbringing, it would be absolutely impossible for Mu Ruilin to have such negative thoughts about his ancestors.
But in order to appease the Lu family, he was willing to endure this kind of grievance... Alas, he is indeed old.
Mu Ruilin stood obediently beside his sister, watching these old officials who had been so kind to their family leave. From tomorrow on, he would no longer have these people behind him...
Originally, he thought that it wouldn't matter even if he left the Ji family, since he was only familiar with Old Man Ji. But when he saw them turn around and leave with his own eyes, he felt inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.
Just as I was about to lower my head to hide the disappointment in my eyes, someone grabbed my wrist.
My sister didn't look at him and was still dealing with everyone, but her hands were tightly holding him. Her fingers were long and slender, and her knuckles were a little white. She clasped his hands tightly, but it didn't hurt him.
Mu Ruilin chuckled, looked up and agreed. His sister didn't want to give him time to grieve. His sister was telling him that he was not alone.
Zhuocheng, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, finally fell into chaos again.
Some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal, rob, kidnap and defraud, but Gu Chen and the palace's guards, both visible and hidden, sent them to jail.
They were depressed. Didn't Commander Gu go to manage the Zhuocheng Army? Why did he return to the palace? Was he demoted?
Ye Muan rolled her eyes when she heard the news, and then announced in a domineering manner that the couple's wedding would be in a month, and warned everyone not to talk about her fiancé casually, otherwise all the stores under the Ye family and Princess Zhuo's name would not accept them.
Some people laughed at Gu Chen for letting a woman speak for him, but Commander Gu smiled and said that he was learning from Prince Zhuo. Are you dissatisfied with Princess Zhuo's recent management of Zhuocheng affairs?
Everyone, “!!!” Slander, absolute slander!
The Zhuocheng family was in chaos, with more and more people disappearing... While the Yun family was dealing with the impact of the drama, they were also paying attention to the sudden explosion of iron and silver mines outside the Great Wall!
Originally, the Yun family had tried their best to deny their relationship with Beirong, but now... since both mines are outside the Great Wall, they are Beirong's territory! If they deny it, wouldn't it be like giving it away?
If the rumors are not dealt with, the Yun family's noble bloodline will be questioned. If they are denied, the Yun family will lose the ownership of the mineral vein... In the end, the Yun family actually adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the drama. Seeing this, Wu Zhongyou immediately stepped up his efforts and joined forces with the Prince of Youcheng, vowing to make this matter a reality!
This was indeed an unexpected gain for them, and he really admired his brother's sister!
Not only did he resolve the dilemma of Zhuo City being sucked dry by the aristocratic families for a hundred years with just one move, but he also got rid of the Yun family who had been clinging to Prince You's Mansion!
They had never thought that they could start with bloodline and fundamentally deny the Yun family's control over Youcheng, and even the inheritance rights of the son of King You's concubine. What if her mother's surname is Yun?
You said King You’s grandmother was also a member of the Yun family?
Oh, sorry! The old lady just happened to be the last real member of the Yun family.
You said the Yun family is also from Youcheng? Or is it a noble family from the previous dynasty?
Oh, sorry! But all of you are of Beirong bloodline, so who in Linyue Kingdom doesn't know this?
What? You're saying this is a lie?
Oh, sorry! You didn’t publicly deny it, so why don’t you, the Yun family, issue a statement? If not, how can we believe you?
What! You said our King You was being unreasonable?
Oh! Sorry, you Beirong Yun family are no longer suitable for the main positions in Youcheng. You dare to openly question our King You today, what if you are unhappy and collaborate with the enemy in the future? Oh, it’s not considered collaborating with the enemy, after all, they are your real family...
King You was extremely satisfied with this result, and he even felt closer to his third son's sister whom he had never met before.
Shen Yu is not only his son's savior, but also their Youcheng's benefactor! !
And the news about the mine leaked out for some reason, and more and more people came to hear the news.
Seeing this, Shen Yuyu called Fu Yunxiu over and whispered a few words to him. The two of them smiled slightly and prepared to do something again.
