Chapter 45

Chatted with Cheng Yu, now Cheng Yu is a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Industry, but he is directly under the jurisdiction of Qianfeng Battalion. After breaking up, Chen Mo went to wander the streets alone.

Now he doesn't want to enter the palace, there are a lot of Kangxi, if he goes there, he will definitely find him something to do. When he walked to a restaurant, Chen Mo walked in. Just as he was seated and asked for a pot of wine, he heard two people beside him. The man dressed as an official talked about the assassination of Kangxi a few days ago.

He listened carefully and finally understood what was going on. Mu Jianping and Fang Yi failed to assassinate Chen Mo. After Mu Jianping was captured by Chen Mo, they sneaked into the palace the next day to assassinate Kangxi, but they were surrounded by a large number of guards. People were killed, and most of them withdrew in the end, but Wu Lishen, the head-shaking lion, Aobiao, the green-haired tiger, and Liu Yizhou were all arrested and are now being tried in the sky prison.

Chen Mo pursed his lips. Mu Jianping must have asked him to rescue these people, and these people didn't think about it. If they want to find people in the prison of the Tartars, they should find the assassin who assassinated Kangxi. Let him go, right? Are you asking for trouble?

After the two officials left, Chen Mo drank a few glasses, and a group of people came up from the restaurant. The leader was handsome and talented, and a group of guards behind him were majestic. It was Wu Yingxiong, the son of Prince Pingxi who had not seen him for ten days. Drinking alone, Wu Yingxiong asked the guards to sit down around him. He strode up to Chen Mo and cupped his hands and said:

"Why does Mr. Chen drink alone, and he doesn't call his brother?"

"What's the matter, my lord, Chen Mo is Bai Ding now, and it's considered an exaltation for Mr. Wu to be able to greet me." Chen Mo said pretending to be very lonely.

Only Kangxi and Suo'etu knew about Chen Mo's resignation. It was rumored that Chen Mo killed hundreds of people in Wutai Mountain. The title of murderer was spread among the people, and some people even used Chen Mo's name to scare those misbehaving children.

The same is true of the news that Wu Yingxiong inquired from everywhere. He didn't know that among those killed were the subordinates of the Pingxi Palace. He heard that Chen Mo went to Wutai Mountain to do business and had a conflict with the bandits. In the end, Chen Mo sent troops to kill them all. On Mount Wutai;
However, Wu Yingxiong understood in his head like many ministers that although Chen Mo had no official position, he was rewarded with wearing a yellow jacket and the inner guard waistband without being confiscated. Chen Mo was still Kangxi's celebrity, so he would not reveal his identity as the crown prince but would be very proud of it. Sit down politely opposite Chen Mo, beckon Xiao Er to serve the food, and then smile and say:

"Brother Chen was joking. If you were Bai Ding, you would be a savage in the mountains. Even if Brother Chen has no official position, how many people in the capital, even princes and nobles, would dare to flirt in front of you. Recently, someone in the court mentioned that I don't know if Brother Chen knows the inside story about the cutting of the feudal clan."

Chen Mo took a big sip with the wine glass, and said with a sneer with a little wine:

"Cutting down the feudal clan? That includes the San Francisco where your father is? Is it so easy to cut? Not to mention anything else, the emperor has to worry about the idea of ​​San Francisco's hundreds of thousands of troops. It's a habit, just ignore them."

Chen Mo's outspoken tone made Wu Yingxiong slightly taken aback, but his heart and face were filled with joy. Chen Mo's words meant that the imperial court did not dare to take action against San Francisco for the time being, so they would be more prepared. Now that Chen Mo is in decline, he deliberately Getting closer, he just wanted to get in touch with this celebrity who might stand up at any time.

After a meal of wine, Chen Mo was a little dazed. When he left, Wu Yingxiong stuffed another stack of banknotes into his arms. After he staggered home and closed the courtyard door, his eyes cleared and the corners of his mouth closed. A little sneer.

"Sanggong, have you gone to drink?" Shuang'er was cleaning in the yard, seeing Chen Mo coming home smelling of alcohol, she went up to hold his arm and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Shuang'er, Mr. I'm fine, but you have to clean up, we'll move out of here tomorrow." Chen Mo said softly, staring at Shuang'er's small face.

Three days in a row since the move, Chen Mo's little life has finally been much quieter. With a lot of banknotes in his hand, he let Shuang'er buy things at home by himself. Shuang'er gave him a massage when he got home. Although they were still sleeping on the same bed, Chen Mo kept restraint and meditated as much as possible to practice internal strength to avoid eating Shuang'er for a while.

The capital seems to be quiet, but in fact some people related to Chen Mo are not living comfortably. Chen Mo was suddenly dismissed from his official position, and he was no longer seen guarding Kangxi sternly in the court. Although Suo Etu knew that Chen Mo would turn over sooner or later, At this time, he was a little entangled in his heart. After this day, he and Prince Kang returned to the cabinet office. After the matter was settled and everyone left, he went to Prince Kang and whispered:
"My lord Jieshu, it's been four days and I haven't heard anything about Chen Mo. I sent people around to inquire, but no one knows where he lives. Now even if I need something, I can't find him."

Prince Kang looked up at Suo'etu and smiled. Chen Mo played this game. If something happened in the future, it would be impossible for the ministers to take the blame, especially for the big members of the cabinet like them, who deal with the world For big things, once something goes wrong, Chen Mo is their example.

"Master Suo misses Master Chen? He originally rented someone else's house. I also sent someone to inquire about it. Zhang Bao, who had made friends with him before, didn't know where he moved. He probably wanted to be quiet for a few days. Well, he hasn't had a single day of peace since the incident with Oboi." Prince Kang said with a smile.

Suo'etu touched a strand of beard on his chin, his eyes flickered, and he whispered next to Prince Kang:
"My lord, this Chen Mo will return to the Forbidden City sooner or later. I originally planned to be a matchmaker with your family, Jing Ning Gege, but the Empress Dowager gave me a step ahead. Now the Emperor has withdrawn the marriage decree. Ning Gege is married to Chen Mo, I think the prince will have an extra helper in the court in the future."

Is Suo'etu really good intentions?As a person who has been in court for decades, Prince Kang is familiar with the art of war and struggle. Suo Etu knows that Chen Mo will turn around sooner or later, but now he hopes that he will marry Jing Ning to Chen Mo. On the surface, Prince Kang does have an important helper, but Let Chen Mo have no chance to get closer to Kangxi.

This is a strategy of struggle, self-interest and others are not conducive to Chen Mo, and it may even cause Kangxi to favor Chen Mo because of this matter, but Prince Kang does not want Chen Mo to be too favored, then maybe in the future the cabinet will be said by Chen Mo alone Forget it, this is not a good thing for the royal family.

Prince Kang's eyes flickered for a moment. These days, when Fujin talked about the changes in Jingning, he already knew his daughter's thoughts. If there had been an order from the queen mother and the emperor, he would not have dared to disobey and compete with them for Chen Mo as a prince. Now that the emperor has announced it to the world, That is to say, they will not marry Chen Mo again for at least one or two years.
