Mrs. Mo said he would not agree
Chapter 45
Mo Jingchun went down to look for the two children as if fleeing.
Tao Niang was leaning on Liu Hao's arms to watch the lanterns outside, and she didn't know how Liu Hao managed to coax her, after all, Tao Niang was still very wary.She also held a small lantern in her hand, which looked bright and translucent, very delicate.The brilliance of the walking horse lanterns is reflecting little by little on the wall, pouring out small shadows.
Seeing Mo Jingchun coming down, Tao Niang struggled to trot out and threw herself into Mo Jingchun's arms.
Mo Jingchun hugged Tao Niang, and nodded to Liu Hao who was watching from behind, "Thank you."
Liu Hao smiled, bowed towards them, and went up calmly.
When he passed Mo Jingchun, he saw the red plums left between Mo Jingchun's neck and collar, he paused, or spoke in a low voice, and then left quickly.
Mo Jingchun covered his neck reflexively, the corners of his eyes turned even redder.
Your Majesty... is really too annoying.
Mo Jingchun said no, but he really didn't do anything, just clinging stickily to Mo Jingchun's arms, and lingering in his ears, it was difficult to get out.
In the end, he was like running away, and when he left in a hurry, he could still hear the emperor laughing loudly behind him.
Hearing the clear joy in his smile, Mo Jingchun didn't know how to feel for a moment.
Is it so happy to get what you want?
Tao Niang looked at the thin sweat on Mo Jingchun's forehead, she padded her feet and wanted to wipe it off with a handkerchief, but Aye gently grabbed her hand, "Thank you, Tao Niang, Aye will come by himself."
Tao Niang stood on the side and watched Mo Jingchun's movements, and she heard the voices of Mo Yuanze and Wei Yi playing around, she said in a low voice, "Aye, isn't that person very powerful?"
Mo Jingchun paused slightly with his handkerchief, and touched Tao Niang's temple hair. The bun Xu Sumei personally tied for her was round and cute, like two small steamed buns upside down on her head, very cute.
"Why would Tao Niang say that?"
Mo Jingchun simply couldn't get up, and squatted down to talk to Tao Niang.
Tao Niang said: "Wei Yi is also very afraid of him."
For Tao Niang, the one who can identify the most clearly is undoubtedly Wei Yi.
Wei Yi has been in Mo's house for so long, in Tao Niang's heart, he is from Mo's house, and she is very familiar with him.Wei Yi looked different before Gongyeqi appeared and after he appeared, and when he left the deck and went down, Wei Yi seemed relieved, the most important thing is...
"Wei Yi seems to be a little afraid of Liu Hao."
When playing tricks below, Wei Yi never passed in front of Liu Hao, just like the servants of Mo's family would not pass in front of the steward.
Mo Jingchun was surprised, he didn't expect Tao Niang to observe so carefully.
Mo Jingchun didn't want to lie to Tao Niang. In fact, he was always sincere to Tao Niang. Since she had already discovered this matter with her own keenness, Mo Jingchun picked her up and walked to the window to look at the water that was close at hand. , and the lanterns swirling in front of him, said flatly: "Tao Niang guessed very accurately, he is indeed very powerful, probably the most powerful people in the world."
If the king of a country is not considered powerful, then what else is great?
Tao Niang pressed against Mo Jingchun's chest and listened to the plopping sound.
She also wanted to say that she thought that man was very domineering.
But after thinking about it, Tao Niang still didn't say anything.
She just hugged Mo Jingchun's arm vigorously, shrunk herself to a small size, and stuffed herself into her father's arms.
On New Year's Eve, Mo Jingchun brought his two children and did not make a fuss outside for long.They rushed back before midnight, and at that time Tao Niang had already fallen asleep on Mo Jingchun's shoulder, and Mo Yuanze was even sleeping on Wei Yi's back, even a little snoring came out limply.
Standing under the painting boat, Mo Jingchun bid farewell to the emperor, and was pressed down by him and kissed on the forehead.
Mo Jingchun backed away in embarrassment, but Gongyeqi smiled like a sneaky raccoon slave and said, "Just now I saw that Master is so considerate of Tao Niang, although I also want Master to be like this, But the Master is too thin-skinned, so he must not want it, so it is the same if I come to give it to the Master."
Mo Jingchun: "..."
How could this be the same!
And he just stuck to Tao Niang's forehead, how could...how could His Majesty be like that...
Peach is still there.
Mo Jingchun backed away in embarrassment, but his sleeve was caught in Gong Yeqi's hand, he approached with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Master, next time, you can take the initiative to find me, okay?"
The emperor said "you" at this time, which not only reminded Mo Jingchun of their almost non-existent teacher-student relationship, but also made him feel strangely numb from the back.
The lower abdomen is about to move, like a greedy goblin.
It's just that Mo Jingchun's face was already reddish at this time, and this small change could not be seen clearly under the dark, "...Okay." Being very clingy, Mo Jingchun could only respond in a low voice.
"I'll go find you."
With Mo Jingchun's consent, the emperor smiled happily, bit Mo Jingchun's lower lip again, and then reluctantly let go.
Mo Jingchun strode away in embarrassment.
He held Tao Niang's hands tightly, his heart was agitated slightly, his lips became red and swollen during these entanglements, even with the light as a cover, it was difficult to explain it.
Gongyeqi stared at Mo Jingchun's back for a long time, and when his figure was about to disappear at the end, Gongyeqi took a step and fell behind to follow unhurriedly.
His speed is not fast, as long as he can vaguely see the backs of the Mo family and his party, he just walks slowly until he stands on the street, watching Mo Jingchun walk into Mo Jingchun without looking back. The mansion was swallowed by the endless blackness outside the Mojiayan.
Gong Yeqi stood there, his face sinking like water.
After a long time, the emperor said coldly: "Liu Hao, why are you still dissatisfied?"
Liu Hao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's human nature to look forward to Sichuan."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed lowly, "Greedy."
He waved his hand, and several figures merged into the night.
And he, looking back again, continued to walk across the city.Keep walking, keep walking, until you reach the northernmost point, stand at the foot of the majestic and solemn imperial city, and then walk in with strides, until you are submerged in boundless solitude.
At midnight, the firecrackers exploded.
The noise of shaking the sky means the arrival of the new year.
The red candles and firecrackers shattered, and the red crumbs scattered on the white snow, red and white mixed together, falling in the eyes of the aristocratic family, but this year has been very unhappy.
The outside world is still noisy, as if there is no trace of the murder that happened years ago, how can this make them not worry?How to make them not angry?
It's just that all of this is still covered under the strong flavor of the year, and no one can notice it.
It was too late on New Year's Eve, and when they got home, the two children came to their senses again, and unexpectedly they made a fuss for more than an hour, and even ran to the house to play with the chubby little girl.
In the end, at night, he fled to the main room with the crying child in his arms, and handed it to Xu Sumei with a bitter face.Xu Sumei laughed so hard that she looked at the maps drawn on the two of them, laughed at them, and hurriedly asked the maid to take them down to change clothes.
Xu Sumei and the nanny changed the little girl's clothes, then patted her soft back and said with a smile, "Are you angry that your brother and sister are making trouble for you? Be good."
In the low whisper, Mo Jingchun was standing on the porch looking at the moonlight.
After all, he was not suitable for that occasion.
Although the child is under one year old, her name has already been chosen by the deceased old lady.
puff--
A ball of white snow hit Mo Jingchun's head from behind, making him tremble with the cold, Mo Yuanze's screaming joy came from behind, Mo Jingchun smiled silently.
good boy.
He turned around and caught the eldest nephew at once.
That night, Mo Yuanze knew what it meant to have an arm that couldn't twist his thigh.
The noisy night passed, and the next day, when the sun rose to the treetops, the Mo residence was still very quiet.Except for the occasional morning servant getting up to work, there was no sound at all.
When Mo Jingchun woke up, his forehead was still twitching a little, he sat on the side of the bed and thought for a while, and asked Mohen to inform the kitchen staff to prepare ginger soup.I'm afraid I played too much yesterday, maybe I will catch a cold.
As a result, the two children just woke up, and after lazily eating morning food, they squeezed their noses and poured down a bowl of ginger soup by themselves.
If there are families who want to walk, they have to finish walking in these few days, and there are a few relatives who have to walk around a little bit. After a few days, Mo Jingchun can barely rest.
Most of the relatives knew about Tao Niang's existence, and knew that Tao Niang was now raised under Xu Sumei's name, and some of them persuaded Mo Jingchun to remarry when they visited.
Mo Jingchun didn't have this thought before he provoked the emperor, but now this entangled situation is even more impossible.
Mo Jingchun had this trouble, but Gong Yeqi, who was far away in the imperial city, didn't give in.
As the emperor, he always had to worship the heavens and ancestors at this time of year. The royal family's process usually took half a day. After the work was over, some princes in the capital came to pay their respects.
Because the emperor has not yet established the empress dowager, the female family members of these nobles in the palace have to visit the empress dowager according to the rules.
This thought was so busy, the queen mother couldn't help laughing and cursing a few words when the emperor came to hide, and said helplessly: "It's up to you whether you want to marry again, but you have to find a helper for the Ai family. Can't the Ai family have been doing these things for decades, and now that they have become the queen mother, they can do it for another few decades?"
Emperor Zhengshi said with a smile: "Mother who is capable will do more work, and then help the son to bear the burden."
The empress dowager had a beautiful nail attached to her upturned finger, so she poked Zhengshi Emperor fiercely twice with the nail, "I'm not joking with you, you don't care about women, but the palace really Empty, now there is only one, how can it be enough?"
The first emperor didn't care about desires, but the harem actually only had a dozen or so women.
But even so, he still has seven princes and several princesses under his knees.
At the age of Emperor Zhengshi, the first emperor had several children.
Emperor Zhengshi: "One eldest prince is enough."
After speaking, he suddenly regained his shape, sat upright and spoke, "Queen Mother, you should be more careful, don't raise him to death."
The queen mother looked at the emperor suspiciously, "When did you become so concerned?"
Her face suddenly brightened, and she felt something was wrong.
What the emperor said sounded really weird.
Emperor Zhengshi raised his eyebrows, and the brows were full of enthusiasm, "My son has his own magic."
The queen mother said helplessly: "Even if you don't like his origin, he is your emperor's son after all, and he is not a tool for use or not."
Emperor Zhengshi: "The son is not short of food and clothing, let alone this. The queen mother should not be too busy showing the son the queen and concubines, if nothing unexpected..."
He was silent for a moment.
The silence at that moment made the queen mother breathe a sigh of relief for some reason.Seeing her, the eccentric son of the emperor, with a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "My son has his own ideas."
Seeing Emperor Zhengshi's appearance, the queen mother frowned slightly.
She slowly held onto the handle, but felt...that would not be something she would like to see.
In the Mo residence far outside the palace city, Mo Jingchun shivered suddenly.
Liu Su, who came to visit, raised her eyebrows, "Is this a cold?"
Mo Jingchun sipped his tea slowly and shook his head.It was an inexplicable palpitation that came from behind, I don't know where it came from, it was more like a strange premonition.
He looked at Liu Su who was sitting opposite and said calmly: "Tao Niang is very good at home, and she brought her to Liu's residence the day before yesterday to see her. You came here on purpose today, is there something else?"
The Liu family is sorry for the son-in-law Mo Jingchun.
No matter what happened to Hui Niang in the past or what happened to Tao Niang later, the Liu family bowed their heads in front of the Mo family.Even though it was later found out that Mo Guangsheng was the one who beat him with a sack, Liu Su just quietly recuperated at the mansion without saying a word.
After all these incidents, Mo Jingchun would still visit and give gifts according to the etiquette during the New Year and holidays, and he would take Tao Niang there in the next year or two, which was already enough.
The Liu family has never said anything else, and they have no face to take the initiative to come to the door.
Liu Su's actions today seemed strange.
Liu Su sipped his tea, slightly frowned, as if hesitating.Although the Liu family was born as a military general, the eldest son Liu Su passed the imperial examination and was admitted to an official. He was not that hard on his studies, but he also won the Jinshi examination in his twenties and won a family background.Now he is an official in the Ministry of Officials, which is quite appreciated by Wang Zhenming.
Liu Su: "It's not for anything else, have you ever heard that the family name is joint name?"
Mo Jingchun raised his brows slightly, "Joint...what do you want?"
Liu Su smiled wryly and said, "You should know."
Mo Jingchun: "For Qi Wangmin?"
Qi Wangmin's mistakes can be described as serious, but to a certain extent, they are not serious.Looking through the records of the Zongzheng Temple and the records that were passed down to the capital every year by various palaces, one can know the mistakes made by these high-ranking clan relatives.
Some trampled on the farmland for their own selfishness, so that the farmers had no income for a year, and refused to pay compensation for the grains; there were also those who flogged local officials and beat people to death; Women are fleeing abroad one after another... There are also such things as raising soldiers secretly, meddling in finances, blocking taxes, etc., or involving human life, or interfering in government affairs. .
Sometimes when it is found out, you can only turn a blind eye and close one eye.
The identities of these clans are different, completely ignoring them will easily mess up the government, but it will be more taboo to trigger them arbitrarily. Those who didn't go to see King Yama, these princes are well-known and have a solid foundation.
If the old king of Qi hadn't killed so many Heng's people in the capital to vent his anger this time, they wouldn't have cared about it at all.
No matter how noble the aristocratic family is, they will never be so dazed to fight with the royal family, but this time it involves matters related to them, especially when the princes of the dynasty can kill people at the foot of the capital, This undoubtedly made the aristocratic family furious, only thinking that they were severely humiliated.
Once these thousand-year-old families are combined, they should not be underestimated.
Mo Jingchun pinched the cool teacup with his fingers, and said after a while: "Do they want Qi Wangmin, or do they want to point their sword at His Majesty?"
Liu Su was startled suddenly, and looked at Mo Jingchun suddenly.
Mo Jingchun said indifferently: "When a member of the Heng family in Beijing is killed, the clan will definitely be angry. No matter which family it is, there are people in the government and the opposition who are officials. Now that they are united in one place, there must be enough benefits. Qi Wangmin can It’s an excuse, but it won’t be the ultimate goal.”
It's not enough to just get rid of one Qi Wangmin.
Liu Su gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Lin went back to her mother's house this year and met Lin Yushi."
The Lin family that Liu Su mentioned was his wife.
It's just that it's not the main family of the Yingchuan Lin family, but a very remote branch, otherwise she wouldn't have married the Liu family.The Liu family, like the Mo family, only made their fortunes in the previous generation. In the eyes of these aristocratic families, they are just beginners, not worthy of attention.
In fact, this idea is also correct.
The aristocratic family stretches for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is not the surname that these three generations will decline and the fifth will be beheaded.
Mo Jingchun: "Lin Yushi is from the Lin family of Yingchuan, and his wife is the person who faced the incident. It is normal for him to participate in this incident." Although he said this on the face, he knew it was more than that. .
Xu Shangde heard that he was dead.
This news was told by Xu Heming.
In addition to his family being convicted, Lin Yushi's daughter was also punished.I heard that Lin Yushi expelled his own daughter from the genealogy when he first entered the autumn, in order not to tarnish the innocence of the family.This matter also ended here, and did not interfere with Lin Yushi.But what Xu Shangde said to him that day remained in Mo Jingchun's heart forever.
The aristocratic families... plus Mo Jingchun's mission, as well as the turmoil in the court in recent months, all indicate that storms are coming.
Liu Su smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what they want to do, the Lin family will feel that something is wrong. In the past, the Yingchuan Lin family would not have so many people in the capital. Besides, their joint name is probably because of King Qi's behavior. outraged."
What Liu Suyan meant was that he still didn't dare to think too far, and would rather these people were to force the emperor to deal with King Qi.
"Liu Su," it's really inappropriate for Mo Jingchun to call Liu Su's name directly, and usually only for the sake of seriousness, "you know, even if the kings on the face can't support soldiers, even Princess Qinghua has three thousand private soldiers, don't those well-known old princes secretly raise them?"
Every year, the population, land, domestic servants, etc. of the royal palaces in various places must be reported to Zongzheng Temple.
There must be some concealment in it, and it was written indiscriminately, but comparing it with the words of the fief officials sent by the imperial court to various places, we can somewhat know what is missing.
At least Mo Jingchun had been in Zong Zhengqing's position for two or three years, and he deduced that there were at least a few princes who secretly raised private soldiers.
It's just that the one with the most ostentatious meaning is Old Qi Wang.
Otherwise...why did Prince Qi's son happen to be the one who had the accident this time?But nothing else?
The first emperor was really able to bear it, and he survived those brothers until their twilight years, and they lost their vitality.And when it comes to the next generation, there are not many clan sons who can be as domineering and tough as Emperor Zhengshi.
But even so, it is still not easy to move the kings.
Otherwise, why would the old king of Qi have the guts to go back to the fief directly regardless of Emperor Zhengshi's edict.
This is something to rely on.
And the joint letter prepared by the family after the year is oppression.
They want to force the emperor to do something to the kings.
But right now at the border of the imperial court, there is still a battle between Chun Xia and the foreign race.The Southwest is about to move, and another general is sitting there. Besides, the court has no generals at the moment, such as Peng Su and He Quan. Although they are brave and good at fighting, they are not majestic enough. If something really happens...then The imperial court is fighting on several fronts.
Such a huge military expenditure can drag down a dynasty in just one or two years!
After listening to Mo Jingchun's analysis, Liu Su was sweating all over his back and couldn't even speak.
Originally, he only came to the door at this time to remind Mo Jingchun, but he never expected to go so deep, it was really frightening.
But Mo Jingchun knew more than that.
According to Jingguai's reminder, there will be suspicion of fraud in the imperial examination in February.
Mo Jingchun had been secretly investigating before, but he couldn't find out the examiner's motives and connections.At one time, he thought that there might be other checkpoints here, or they would be in the examination room and inspection tour.However, the incidents that broke out in the last one or two months are connected to a big hole. The conflict between the aristocratic family and the clan is on the verge of breaking out, and the two may not have good intentions towards the royal family. It can also greatly damage the justice and reputation of the imperial examination, and by the way, destroy Emperor Zhengshi's thoughts for this year's Enke.No matter where you look, there are opportunities worth getting your hands on.
This was something Liu Su didn't know.
However, he has already felt the turmoil in the court after the year, and Mo Jingchun hinted that he would not get involved in the imperial examination. Liu Su thought about it for a while after returning home, and finally made up his mind with Liu's father. avoid.
Besides, on Mo Jingchun's side, after analyzing the context carefully, he figured out most of the inside story.
That's enough.
For the rest, it is left to how to share with the emperor, after all...
Mo Jingchun suddenly thought of His Majesty's obsession on that New Year's Eve, and he hesitated for a moment.
What Mo Jingchun had agreed to, now that he was seriously thinking about how to do it, it was a painstaking task.He had never thought in his life that he would be with a man, and in addition to the entanglement with His Majesty that occurred because of such a thing, if he wanted to take his time, he would not be able to do it for a while.
You can't tell people about these things, and if you want to do it, you have to be more careful.
Even if Mo Jingchun agreed to give it a try, he couldn't be unscrupulous.
After all, there is the Mo family behind him.
but……
Mo Jingchun sat in the study seriously, thinking about how to try this "try".
Compared to Mo Jingchun who was seriously thinking about the relationship between the two of them here, Emperor Zhengshi in the palace was acting in a different way.
He had just met the two county kings, and he raised his hand and pinched his brows, and said in a cold voice: "Liu Hao, come again next time, and call the widow directly."
Liu Hao bowed, without any hesitation because of where the two county kings were.
Emperor Zhengshi's face was a little ugly, he tapped the table with his fingers, and his voice was cold, "Is the widow's harem so empty that they are in the way? It's really disgusting to send two people to the widow's head. And those few How old is the old man this year, and he still has the nerve to drag their little daughter to talk to the widow?"
He became more and more impatient, and had the illusion that he was about to attack.
Liu Hao: "Your Majesty, the weather is fine today, how about going for a walk in the Royal Garden?"
"Where are you going? When the time comes, you will run into a bunch of women who don't know where the Queen Mother is from?" Emperor Zhengshi glared at Liu Hao fiercely, "What are you thinking?"
Liu Hao smiled wryly, and said ouchily, "Your Majesty, good Your Majesty, it wasn't that you were with the Empress Dowager before... that made the Empress Dowager suspicious!"
Emperor Zhengshi sat angrily on the large dragon chair, and the appearance of being angry with the queen mother rarely showed a bit of freshness.He knew that the Queen Mother was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
It is estimated that it took two days to reflect on it, and I somewhat felt that the emperor wanted not to accept the harem.
This is not a year or two, it is estimated that it will be a long time, the Queen Mother is not happy.
The emperor is young now, even if he doesn't have any thoughts for one year, two years, three years or five years, it can be tolerated after all.But if this has always been the case, wouldn't Gong Yezheng be the only one in the royal family?
The Empress Dowager thought about the muddy waters in the court recently, and the dangerous fights that would still happen, how could she not care?
Zhengshi Emperor and the Empress Dowager fought back and forth, but they were just mother-son fights, not to the point of getting angry, but he was a little annoyed, and besides Mo Jingchun on New Year's Eve, he had never met him again. Passed one finger of my wife, but now I miss it very much.
Liu Hao looked at Emperor Zhengshi lying on the bed carelessly, his brows slightly frowned, how could he not know that His Majesty was thinking of Mo Jingchun?
It's just that this time is really embarrassing.
But tomorrow will be the grand dynasty, and we will see each other again at that time.
Sometimes when Liu Hao thinks about the relationship between the two of them, it is indeed weird and awkward.
One is the king and the other is the minister. If it wasn't for the emperor's insistence, it might not be what it is today.But even if it can be done now, it is really troublesome. Emperor Zhengshi can still go to see Mo Jingchun because of his thoughts, but how will Mo Jingchun come to see His Majesty?
Upon hearing Liu Hao's words, Emperor Zhengshi raised his eyelids slightly, "You really care about Master."
These words reveal a bit of fierce monopoly.
The old god Liu Hao said on the ground: "Your Majesty, this servant is thinking of you. Now that Taifu Mo is the person His Majesty thinks of, naturally this servant should think more about him. After all, when His Majesty is happy, so is this servant. "He put these words on the bright side.
Emperor Zhengshi said lightly: "With Master's temper, it's still a bit of a grind."
It's just that the words are eager to try but ready to come out.
Emperor Zhengshi felt that his patience was not as good as before.
When Mo Jingchun was hesitant before, he could pretend for several months, as long as his master let his guard down a little bit, he would succeed again.The master is not good at this point, he is always soft-hearted, and he can be easily captured by Emperor Zhengshi.
The emperor thought so, but he didn't think about how cold and tough he was, and his bad deeds in the past can be said to be full. If he hadn't gradually tasted the need for patience later, Mo Jingchun might not be able to respond to him now.
At this time, Liu Cunjian outside the hall begged to see him.
All the tenderness on Emperor Zhengshi's face was swallowed up by the coldness, and turned into pure evil, "Well done."
He is full of restlessness and has nowhere to say it!
Every time Liu Cunjian brought back news, it would immediately pull the entire palace into a chilling atmosphere.
...
After turning over the years, and going to court again, it seems to be a little more strange for no reason.
Mo Jingchun was standing by the side in court clothes, and after greeting several old officials, he saw Emperor Zhengshi wearing a crown and wearing a crown, slowly walking up the steps and standing on top of the palace.
The courtiers shouted long live, looking beautiful.
In less than two moments, the warmth of the New Year was strangled in an instant. Headed by Lin Yushi, more than a dozen courtiers came out together, asking His Majesty to strictly investigate King Qi.
At the same time, Xue Qing also came out to lay down conclusive evidence for King Qi's murder.
Xue Qing does not stand on any side, he only stands on the side of the truth.
Even so, Mo Jingchun was really worried about Xue Qing.As soon as Xue Qing appeared, he stood in front of the royal clan.Even though this matter has nothing to do with the princes, once the king of Qi is strictly investigated, wouldn't it mean that their interests will also be damaged. In this way, the princes who are still in the court are clearly standing on the other side.
For the first time in the Great Dynasty, it was impossible to deal with it because of this matter.
Emperor Zhengshi didn't say much in the court, but went to the Xianying Hall after the court, and discussed with the cabinet for a long time.
The cabinet could not come up with a unified statement.
After all, it's fine to just punish King Qi, but the rush to come up just now is not just for King Qi's affairs!Which one can enter the cabinet is not an old fritters?
But Xu Boheng said: "King Qi went out of Beijing against the decree and rushed all the way back to the fiefdom. No matter what Lin Yushi wants to do, King Qi must be punished for his actions. Otherwise, if His Majesty wants to talk to the clan in the future, this matter will be choked up." It's in the middle." He looked at Emperor Zhengshi while talking, obviously in Xu Ge's heart, it was wrong for the emperor to endure until now.
Emperor Zhengshi did not have such a soft personality. When King Qi's incident happened, many courtiers thought that the emperor would be furious, but they didn't expect that His Majesty has not yet.
Emperor Zhengshi: "Old Xu Ge is right. King Qi's behavior has exceeded the limit, and he should be punished. As for Lin Yushi's rhetoric, let's put it on hold and discuss it later."
The imperial court issued an edict lightly, reprimanding King Qi for his actions, and fined him three years of food salary.
The family is not satisfied with such a punishment.
At this time when the wind and rain were bleak, Zhang Qianzhao and other examiners had begun to enter the examination institute. Except for the things that had to be handled, they would be sent to the institute by special personnel for their disposal, but they themselves could not have any contact with their family servants. Someone is responsible for their daily life.
And Mo Jingchun finally found some time after the year, and went to the palace to meet Emperor Zhengshi.
At that time Emperor Zhengshi was in the imperial study, talking with several officials from aristocratic families, Mo Jingchun was invited by Liu Hao to rest in the cubicle, he saw the old imperial doctor waiting there.
There used to be no custom in the palace to ask for the pulse of Ping'an, but after Emperor Zhengshi ascended the throne, the Tai Hospital has developed a habit, and every seven days there will be a special person in charge of asking for the pulse of several nobles.Emperor Zhengshi is here with the old imperial doctor, and the empress dowager also has an imperial doctor with outstanding medical talents.
Mo Jingchun leaned back, which surprised the old doctor.
The old imperial physician: "Zong Zhengqing is really annoyed."
Mo Jingchun shook his head and smiled, but didn't move any more, just sat quietly.
The old imperial doctor knew about the relationship between the emperor and Zong Zhengqing, and he was the one who came to give this man a pulse when he almost had an accident before.Looking at the emperor's tyranny before, he thought that the trouble would soon become known to the government and the public, so he couldn't help admonishing him, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would keep this matter a secret for a year or two.
He took a look at Mo Jingchun, and found that the depression on his brows before had dissipated a little.
After the officials in the imperial study retreated, Liu Hao rushed to invite Mo Jingchun, and after sending him in, Liu Hao turned around and said: "Your Majesty may not have much time in the next two hours, why don't you go back to the Imperial Hospital first?" ?”
The old doctor and god are there, but they know it well.
There was a vacation in the middle, and now that the two meet again, they probably have a lot to say in their hearts.The old doctor was not the kind of person who would not wink. He carried the medicine box and went back with the medicine boy.
It's just that in the imperial study room, it's not as ambiguous as he thought.
Mo Jingchun came to see the emperor because he really had something important to discuss.
Due to the restriction of spirits, Mo Jingchun couldn't say some things too clearly, but he was able to give a little hint.If the emperor could understand what he meant, then everyone would be happy.
He also once asked Jingguai, wouldn't such an approach be cheating?
But Jingguai said, 【How many people in this world can accept it so calmly like Gongyeqi? 】
Mo Jingchun thought for a while, but remained silent again.
There are so many strange things and many changes in him, so hard to bear, but Mo Jingchun never thought of telling his family about the changes that happened to him.
Even the elder brother who was closest to him could not speak a single word.
Mo Jingchun knew that changes in people's hearts were unpredictable, so he couldn't gamble with them.
If the emperor hadn't discovered it himself, Mo Jingchun would never have told him.
Gongye Qi is the most important task object.
But Jingguai also said that it is best not to tell the emperor the goal of the mission frankly.
Because not all goals are completely in line with the emperor's goals, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. If one day they conflict with each other, wouldn't Mo Jingchun prefer to be punished as before?
When Mo Jingchun thought of the punishment that had not yet left, he trembled in fear.
He has experienced the mystery hidden in this kind of mission before.
Therefore, Mo Jingchun did not mention these tasks, but spoke tactfully, expressing the suspicion in the conversation between him and Liu Su before, and then talked about clan relatives from aristocratic families, from clan relatives to imperial examinations, and then from imperial examinations. Speaking of quizzes.Although he doesn't like to talk, but he is a writer after all, when he really wants to convince others, he can speak eloquently and eloquently.
Emperor Zhengshi sat behind the table, originally wanting to kiss Fangze with his master, but instead he heard a lot about government affairs.
The emperor looked at Mo Jingchun with a cold face. The master stood in front of him, but he didn't flinch in the slightest. He looked at Mo Jingchun for a while, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
Forget it, didn't he know that his master had such a character before?
Emperor Zhengshi: "...the matter of the imperial examination is mixed in, and it can be used as a weapon. According to the master, what method is the most suitable?"
Mo Jingchun paused, and spoke in a low voice.
Emperor Zhengshi was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed, "Master, Master, aren't you also a bad embryo?"
Mo Jingchun said solemnly: "This is all for the sake of the overall situation."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed and sighed, and suddenly realized that Mo Jingchun had relaxed a lot in front of him, and he definitely couldn't tell the tricks like before.Realizing this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his mind a few times first, pondered the idea Mo Jingchun said for a while, felt quite reasonable, so he wrote it down for the time being.
But this business is over, we can't ignore personal matters.
Emperor Zhengshi didn't take the initiative to look for Mo Jingchun until today, just because when he parted before New Year's Eve, his master said "I will go to you" when he was obsessed with him. For these five short words, Zhengshi The emperor has not activated until today.
Not the King, not His Majesty.
If Mo Jingchun Tete came to him just for business, then Emperor Zhengshi would be very unhappy.
Seeing His Majesty's eyes sparkle, Mo Jingchun couldn't help but feel his heart beating.
He thought about his thoughts for the past two days, and said in a staggered manner: "In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival... I wonder if Your Majesty has time, why not..." Mo Jingchun was embarrassed, and he didn't know how long he held it in before he finally gave up. He barely managed to speak out, but before he could finish speaking, Emperor Zhengshi grabbed his sleeve and tugged at him, slipped in and held his curled fingers, and said with a half-smile: "Master is inviting me to Parade?"
Mo Jingchun stopped talking, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.
Lantern Festival parade is a unique custom, especially if a man and a woman are affectionate and invite each other during the festive season, if they can go all the way to the end safely, it means that the two are destined.In fact, this traditional custom is also related to world affairs. It is not so easy to linger in such a lively street.
Mo Jingchun originally just followed His Majesty's wishes and found a free time to meet, but Emperor Zhengshi made a date in a few words.
He even pointedly said: "If the master feels that it is not perfect enough, the East Mansion will also be ready. At that time..." His eyes swept down and brushed Mo Jingchun's belly, "It can also satisfy one or two things. .”
Mo Jingchun subconsciously hid back, "Your Majesty
Tao Niang was leaning on Liu Hao's arms to watch the lanterns outside, and she didn't know how Liu Hao managed to coax her, after all, Tao Niang was still very wary.She also held a small lantern in her hand, which looked bright and translucent, very delicate.The brilliance of the walking horse lanterns is reflecting little by little on the wall, pouring out small shadows.
Seeing Mo Jingchun coming down, Tao Niang struggled to trot out and threw herself into Mo Jingchun's arms.
Mo Jingchun hugged Tao Niang, and nodded to Liu Hao who was watching from behind, "Thank you."
Liu Hao smiled, bowed towards them, and went up calmly.
When he passed Mo Jingchun, he saw the red plums left between Mo Jingchun's neck and collar, he paused, or spoke in a low voice, and then left quickly.
Mo Jingchun covered his neck reflexively, the corners of his eyes turned even redder.
Your Majesty... is really too annoying.
Mo Jingchun said no, but he really didn't do anything, just clinging stickily to Mo Jingchun's arms, and lingering in his ears, it was difficult to get out.
In the end, he was like running away, and when he left in a hurry, he could still hear the emperor laughing loudly behind him.
Hearing the clear joy in his smile, Mo Jingchun didn't know how to feel for a moment.
Is it so happy to get what you want?
Tao Niang looked at the thin sweat on Mo Jingchun's forehead, she padded her feet and wanted to wipe it off with a handkerchief, but Aye gently grabbed her hand, "Thank you, Tao Niang, Aye will come by himself."
Tao Niang stood on the side and watched Mo Jingchun's movements, and she heard the voices of Mo Yuanze and Wei Yi playing around, she said in a low voice, "Aye, isn't that person very powerful?"
Mo Jingchun paused slightly with his handkerchief, and touched Tao Niang's temple hair. The bun Xu Sumei personally tied for her was round and cute, like two small steamed buns upside down on her head, very cute.
"Why would Tao Niang say that?"
Mo Jingchun simply couldn't get up, and squatted down to talk to Tao Niang.
Tao Niang said: "Wei Yi is also very afraid of him."
For Tao Niang, the one who can identify the most clearly is undoubtedly Wei Yi.
Wei Yi has been in Mo's house for so long, in Tao Niang's heart, he is from Mo's house, and she is very familiar with him.Wei Yi looked different before Gongyeqi appeared and after he appeared, and when he left the deck and went down, Wei Yi seemed relieved, the most important thing is...
"Wei Yi seems to be a little afraid of Liu Hao."
When playing tricks below, Wei Yi never passed in front of Liu Hao, just like the servants of Mo's family would not pass in front of the steward.
Mo Jingchun was surprised, he didn't expect Tao Niang to observe so carefully.
Mo Jingchun didn't want to lie to Tao Niang. In fact, he was always sincere to Tao Niang. Since she had already discovered this matter with her own keenness, Mo Jingchun picked her up and walked to the window to look at the water that was close at hand. , and the lanterns swirling in front of him, said flatly: "Tao Niang guessed very accurately, he is indeed very powerful, probably the most powerful people in the world."
If the king of a country is not considered powerful, then what else is great?
Tao Niang pressed against Mo Jingchun's chest and listened to the plopping sound.
She also wanted to say that she thought that man was very domineering.
But after thinking about it, Tao Niang still didn't say anything.
She just hugged Mo Jingchun's arm vigorously, shrunk herself to a small size, and stuffed herself into her father's arms.
On New Year's Eve, Mo Jingchun brought his two children and did not make a fuss outside for long.They rushed back before midnight, and at that time Tao Niang had already fallen asleep on Mo Jingchun's shoulder, and Mo Yuanze was even sleeping on Wei Yi's back, even a little snoring came out limply.
Standing under the painting boat, Mo Jingchun bid farewell to the emperor, and was pressed down by him and kissed on the forehead.
Mo Jingchun backed away in embarrassment, but Gongyeqi smiled like a sneaky raccoon slave and said, "Just now I saw that Master is so considerate of Tao Niang, although I also want Master to be like this, But the Master is too thin-skinned, so he must not want it, so it is the same if I come to give it to the Master."
Mo Jingchun: "..."
How could this be the same!
And he just stuck to Tao Niang's forehead, how could...how could His Majesty be like that...
Peach is still there.
Mo Jingchun backed away in embarrassment, but his sleeve was caught in Gong Yeqi's hand, he approached with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Master, next time, you can take the initiative to find me, okay?"
The emperor said "you" at this time, which not only reminded Mo Jingchun of their almost non-existent teacher-student relationship, but also made him feel strangely numb from the back.
The lower abdomen is about to move, like a greedy goblin.
It's just that Mo Jingchun's face was already reddish at this time, and this small change could not be seen clearly under the dark, "...Okay." Being very clingy, Mo Jingchun could only respond in a low voice.
"I'll go find you."
With Mo Jingchun's consent, the emperor smiled happily, bit Mo Jingchun's lower lip again, and then reluctantly let go.
Mo Jingchun strode away in embarrassment.
He held Tao Niang's hands tightly, his heart was agitated slightly, his lips became red and swollen during these entanglements, even with the light as a cover, it was difficult to explain it.
Gongyeqi stared at Mo Jingchun's back for a long time, and when his figure was about to disappear at the end, Gongyeqi took a step and fell behind to follow unhurriedly.
His speed is not fast, as long as he can vaguely see the backs of the Mo family and his party, he just walks slowly until he stands on the street, watching Mo Jingchun walk into Mo Jingchun without looking back. The mansion was swallowed by the endless blackness outside the Mojiayan.
Gong Yeqi stood there, his face sinking like water.
After a long time, the emperor said coldly: "Liu Hao, why are you still dissatisfied?"
Liu Hao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's human nature to look forward to Sichuan."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed lowly, "Greedy."
He waved his hand, and several figures merged into the night.
And he, looking back again, continued to walk across the city.Keep walking, keep walking, until you reach the northernmost point, stand at the foot of the majestic and solemn imperial city, and then walk in with strides, until you are submerged in boundless solitude.
At midnight, the firecrackers exploded.
The noise of shaking the sky means the arrival of the new year.
The red candles and firecrackers shattered, and the red crumbs scattered on the white snow, red and white mixed together, falling in the eyes of the aristocratic family, but this year has been very unhappy.
The outside world is still noisy, as if there is no trace of the murder that happened years ago, how can this make them not worry?How to make them not angry?
It's just that all of this is still covered under the strong flavor of the year, and no one can notice it.
It was too late on New Year's Eve, and when they got home, the two children came to their senses again, and unexpectedly they made a fuss for more than an hour, and even ran to the house to play with the chubby little girl.
In the end, at night, he fled to the main room with the crying child in his arms, and handed it to Xu Sumei with a bitter face.Xu Sumei laughed so hard that she looked at the maps drawn on the two of them, laughed at them, and hurriedly asked the maid to take them down to change clothes.
Xu Sumei and the nanny changed the little girl's clothes, then patted her soft back and said with a smile, "Are you angry that your brother and sister are making trouble for you? Be good."
In the low whisper, Mo Jingchun was standing on the porch looking at the moonlight.
After all, he was not suitable for that occasion.
Although the child is under one year old, her name has already been chosen by the deceased old lady.
puff--
A ball of white snow hit Mo Jingchun's head from behind, making him tremble with the cold, Mo Yuanze's screaming joy came from behind, Mo Jingchun smiled silently.
good boy.
He turned around and caught the eldest nephew at once.
That night, Mo Yuanze knew what it meant to have an arm that couldn't twist his thigh.
The noisy night passed, and the next day, when the sun rose to the treetops, the Mo residence was still very quiet.Except for the occasional morning servant getting up to work, there was no sound at all.
When Mo Jingchun woke up, his forehead was still twitching a little, he sat on the side of the bed and thought for a while, and asked Mohen to inform the kitchen staff to prepare ginger soup.I'm afraid I played too much yesterday, maybe I will catch a cold.
As a result, the two children just woke up, and after lazily eating morning food, they squeezed their noses and poured down a bowl of ginger soup by themselves.
If there are families who want to walk, they have to finish walking in these few days, and there are a few relatives who have to walk around a little bit. After a few days, Mo Jingchun can barely rest.
Most of the relatives knew about Tao Niang's existence, and knew that Tao Niang was now raised under Xu Sumei's name, and some of them persuaded Mo Jingchun to remarry when they visited.
Mo Jingchun didn't have this thought before he provoked the emperor, but now this entangled situation is even more impossible.
Mo Jingchun had this trouble, but Gong Yeqi, who was far away in the imperial city, didn't give in.
As the emperor, he always had to worship the heavens and ancestors at this time of year. The royal family's process usually took half a day. After the work was over, some princes in the capital came to pay their respects.
Because the emperor has not yet established the empress dowager, the female family members of these nobles in the palace have to visit the empress dowager according to the rules.
This thought was so busy, the queen mother couldn't help laughing and cursing a few words when the emperor came to hide, and said helplessly: "It's up to you whether you want to marry again, but you have to find a helper for the Ai family. Can't the Ai family have been doing these things for decades, and now that they have become the queen mother, they can do it for another few decades?"
Emperor Zhengshi said with a smile: "Mother who is capable will do more work, and then help the son to bear the burden."
The empress dowager had a beautiful nail attached to her upturned finger, so she poked Zhengshi Emperor fiercely twice with the nail, "I'm not joking with you, you don't care about women, but the palace really Empty, now there is only one, how can it be enough?"
The first emperor didn't care about desires, but the harem actually only had a dozen or so women.
But even so, he still has seven princes and several princesses under his knees.
At the age of Emperor Zhengshi, the first emperor had several children.
Emperor Zhengshi: "One eldest prince is enough."
After speaking, he suddenly regained his shape, sat upright and spoke, "Queen Mother, you should be more careful, don't raise him to death."
The queen mother looked at the emperor suspiciously, "When did you become so concerned?"
Her face suddenly brightened, and she felt something was wrong.
What the emperor said sounded really weird.
Emperor Zhengshi raised his eyebrows, and the brows were full of enthusiasm, "My son has his own magic."
The queen mother said helplessly: "Even if you don't like his origin, he is your emperor's son after all, and he is not a tool for use or not."
Emperor Zhengshi: "The son is not short of food and clothing, let alone this. The queen mother should not be too busy showing the son the queen and concubines, if nothing unexpected..."
He was silent for a moment.
The silence at that moment made the queen mother breathe a sigh of relief for some reason.Seeing her, the eccentric son of the emperor, with a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "My son has his own ideas."
Seeing Emperor Zhengshi's appearance, the queen mother frowned slightly.
She slowly held onto the handle, but felt...that would not be something she would like to see.
In the Mo residence far outside the palace city, Mo Jingchun shivered suddenly.
Liu Su, who came to visit, raised her eyebrows, "Is this a cold?"
Mo Jingchun sipped his tea slowly and shook his head.It was an inexplicable palpitation that came from behind, I don't know where it came from, it was more like a strange premonition.
He looked at Liu Su who was sitting opposite and said calmly: "Tao Niang is very good at home, and she brought her to Liu's residence the day before yesterday to see her. You came here on purpose today, is there something else?"
The Liu family is sorry for the son-in-law Mo Jingchun.
No matter what happened to Hui Niang in the past or what happened to Tao Niang later, the Liu family bowed their heads in front of the Mo family.Even though it was later found out that Mo Guangsheng was the one who beat him with a sack, Liu Su just quietly recuperated at the mansion without saying a word.
After all these incidents, Mo Jingchun would still visit and give gifts according to the etiquette during the New Year and holidays, and he would take Tao Niang there in the next year or two, which was already enough.
The Liu family has never said anything else, and they have no face to take the initiative to come to the door.
Liu Su's actions today seemed strange.
Liu Su sipped his tea, slightly frowned, as if hesitating.Although the Liu family was born as a military general, the eldest son Liu Su passed the imperial examination and was admitted to an official. He was not that hard on his studies, but he also won the Jinshi examination in his twenties and won a family background.Now he is an official in the Ministry of Officials, which is quite appreciated by Wang Zhenming.
Liu Su: "It's not for anything else, have you ever heard that the family name is joint name?"
Mo Jingchun raised his brows slightly, "Joint...what do you want?"
Liu Su smiled wryly and said, "You should know."
Mo Jingchun: "For Qi Wangmin?"
Qi Wangmin's mistakes can be described as serious, but to a certain extent, they are not serious.Looking through the records of the Zongzheng Temple and the records that were passed down to the capital every year by various palaces, one can know the mistakes made by these high-ranking clan relatives.
Some trampled on the farmland for their own selfishness, so that the farmers had no income for a year, and refused to pay compensation for the grains; there were also those who flogged local officials and beat people to death; Women are fleeing abroad one after another... There are also such things as raising soldiers secretly, meddling in finances, blocking taxes, etc., or involving human life, or interfering in government affairs. .
Sometimes when it is found out, you can only turn a blind eye and close one eye.
The identities of these clans are different, completely ignoring them will easily mess up the government, but it will be more taboo to trigger them arbitrarily. Those who didn't go to see King Yama, these princes are well-known and have a solid foundation.
If the old king of Qi hadn't killed so many Heng's people in the capital to vent his anger this time, they wouldn't have cared about it at all.
No matter how noble the aristocratic family is, they will never be so dazed to fight with the royal family, but this time it involves matters related to them, especially when the princes of the dynasty can kill people at the foot of the capital, This undoubtedly made the aristocratic family furious, only thinking that they were severely humiliated.
Once these thousand-year-old families are combined, they should not be underestimated.
Mo Jingchun pinched the cool teacup with his fingers, and said after a while: "Do they want Qi Wangmin, or do they want to point their sword at His Majesty?"
Liu Su was startled suddenly, and looked at Mo Jingchun suddenly.
Mo Jingchun said indifferently: "When a member of the Heng family in Beijing is killed, the clan will definitely be angry. No matter which family it is, there are people in the government and the opposition who are officials. Now that they are united in one place, there must be enough benefits. Qi Wangmin can It’s an excuse, but it won’t be the ultimate goal.”
It's not enough to just get rid of one Qi Wangmin.
Liu Su gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Lin went back to her mother's house this year and met Lin Yushi."
The Lin family that Liu Su mentioned was his wife.
It's just that it's not the main family of the Yingchuan Lin family, but a very remote branch, otherwise she wouldn't have married the Liu family.The Liu family, like the Mo family, only made their fortunes in the previous generation. In the eyes of these aristocratic families, they are just beginners, not worthy of attention.
In fact, this idea is also correct.
The aristocratic family stretches for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is not the surname that these three generations will decline and the fifth will be beheaded.
Mo Jingchun: "Lin Yushi is from the Lin family of Yingchuan, and his wife is the person who faced the incident. It is normal for him to participate in this incident." Although he said this on the face, he knew it was more than that. .
Xu Shangde heard that he was dead.
This news was told by Xu Heming.
In addition to his family being convicted, Lin Yushi's daughter was also punished.I heard that Lin Yushi expelled his own daughter from the genealogy when he first entered the autumn, in order not to tarnish the innocence of the family.This matter also ended here, and did not interfere with Lin Yushi.But what Xu Shangde said to him that day remained in Mo Jingchun's heart forever.
The aristocratic families... plus Mo Jingchun's mission, as well as the turmoil in the court in recent months, all indicate that storms are coming.
Liu Su smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what they want to do, the Lin family will feel that something is wrong. In the past, the Yingchuan Lin family would not have so many people in the capital. Besides, their joint name is probably because of King Qi's behavior. outraged."
What Liu Suyan meant was that he still didn't dare to think too far, and would rather these people were to force the emperor to deal with King Qi.
"Liu Su," it's really inappropriate for Mo Jingchun to call Liu Su's name directly, and usually only for the sake of seriousness, "you know, even if the kings on the face can't support soldiers, even Princess Qinghua has three thousand private soldiers, don't those well-known old princes secretly raise them?"
Every year, the population, land, domestic servants, etc. of the royal palaces in various places must be reported to Zongzheng Temple.
There must be some concealment in it, and it was written indiscriminately, but comparing it with the words of the fief officials sent by the imperial court to various places, we can somewhat know what is missing.
At least Mo Jingchun had been in Zong Zhengqing's position for two or three years, and he deduced that there were at least a few princes who secretly raised private soldiers.
It's just that the one with the most ostentatious meaning is Old Qi Wang.
Otherwise...why did Prince Qi's son happen to be the one who had the accident this time?But nothing else?
The first emperor was really able to bear it, and he survived those brothers until their twilight years, and they lost their vitality.And when it comes to the next generation, there are not many clan sons who can be as domineering and tough as Emperor Zhengshi.
But even so, it is still not easy to move the kings.
Otherwise, why would the old king of Qi have the guts to go back to the fief directly regardless of Emperor Zhengshi's edict.
This is something to rely on.
And the joint letter prepared by the family after the year is oppression.
They want to force the emperor to do something to the kings.
But right now at the border of the imperial court, there is still a battle between Chun Xia and the foreign race.The Southwest is about to move, and another general is sitting there. Besides, the court has no generals at the moment, such as Peng Su and He Quan. Although they are brave and good at fighting, they are not majestic enough. If something really happens...then The imperial court is fighting on several fronts.
Such a huge military expenditure can drag down a dynasty in just one or two years!
After listening to Mo Jingchun's analysis, Liu Su was sweating all over his back and couldn't even speak.
Originally, he only came to the door at this time to remind Mo Jingchun, but he never expected to go so deep, it was really frightening.
But Mo Jingchun knew more than that.
According to Jingguai's reminder, there will be suspicion of fraud in the imperial examination in February.
Mo Jingchun had been secretly investigating before, but he couldn't find out the examiner's motives and connections.At one time, he thought that there might be other checkpoints here, or they would be in the examination room and inspection tour.However, the incidents that broke out in the last one or two months are connected to a big hole. The conflict between the aristocratic family and the clan is on the verge of breaking out, and the two may not have good intentions towards the royal family. It can also greatly damage the justice and reputation of the imperial examination, and by the way, destroy Emperor Zhengshi's thoughts for this year's Enke.No matter where you look, there are opportunities worth getting your hands on.
This was something Liu Su didn't know.
However, he has already felt the turmoil in the court after the year, and Mo Jingchun hinted that he would not get involved in the imperial examination. Liu Su thought about it for a while after returning home, and finally made up his mind with Liu's father. avoid.
Besides, on Mo Jingchun's side, after analyzing the context carefully, he figured out most of the inside story.
That's enough.
For the rest, it is left to how to share with the emperor, after all...
Mo Jingchun suddenly thought of His Majesty's obsession on that New Year's Eve, and he hesitated for a moment.
What Mo Jingchun had agreed to, now that he was seriously thinking about how to do it, it was a painstaking task.He had never thought in his life that he would be with a man, and in addition to the entanglement with His Majesty that occurred because of such a thing, if he wanted to take his time, he would not be able to do it for a while.
You can't tell people about these things, and if you want to do it, you have to be more careful.
Even if Mo Jingchun agreed to give it a try, he couldn't be unscrupulous.
After all, there is the Mo family behind him.
but……
Mo Jingchun sat in the study seriously, thinking about how to try this "try".
Compared to Mo Jingchun who was seriously thinking about the relationship between the two of them here, Emperor Zhengshi in the palace was acting in a different way.
He had just met the two county kings, and he raised his hand and pinched his brows, and said in a cold voice: "Liu Hao, come again next time, and call the widow directly."
Liu Hao bowed, without any hesitation because of where the two county kings were.
Emperor Zhengshi's face was a little ugly, he tapped the table with his fingers, and his voice was cold, "Is the widow's harem so empty that they are in the way? It's really disgusting to send two people to the widow's head. And those few How old is the old man this year, and he still has the nerve to drag their little daughter to talk to the widow?"
He became more and more impatient, and had the illusion that he was about to attack.
Liu Hao: "Your Majesty, the weather is fine today, how about going for a walk in the Royal Garden?"
"Where are you going? When the time comes, you will run into a bunch of women who don't know where the Queen Mother is from?" Emperor Zhengshi glared at Liu Hao fiercely, "What are you thinking?"
Liu Hao smiled wryly, and said ouchily, "Your Majesty, good Your Majesty, it wasn't that you were with the Empress Dowager before... that made the Empress Dowager suspicious!"
Emperor Zhengshi sat angrily on the large dragon chair, and the appearance of being angry with the queen mother rarely showed a bit of freshness.He knew that the Queen Mother was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
It is estimated that it took two days to reflect on it, and I somewhat felt that the emperor wanted not to accept the harem.
This is not a year or two, it is estimated that it will be a long time, the Queen Mother is not happy.
The emperor is young now, even if he doesn't have any thoughts for one year, two years, three years or five years, it can be tolerated after all.But if this has always been the case, wouldn't Gong Yezheng be the only one in the royal family?
The Empress Dowager thought about the muddy waters in the court recently, and the dangerous fights that would still happen, how could she not care?
Zhengshi Emperor and the Empress Dowager fought back and forth, but they were just mother-son fights, not to the point of getting angry, but he was a little annoyed, and besides Mo Jingchun on New Year's Eve, he had never met him again. Passed one finger of my wife, but now I miss it very much.
Liu Hao looked at Emperor Zhengshi lying on the bed carelessly, his brows slightly frowned, how could he not know that His Majesty was thinking of Mo Jingchun?
It's just that this time is really embarrassing.
But tomorrow will be the grand dynasty, and we will see each other again at that time.
Sometimes when Liu Hao thinks about the relationship between the two of them, it is indeed weird and awkward.
One is the king and the other is the minister. If it wasn't for the emperor's insistence, it might not be what it is today.But even if it can be done now, it is really troublesome. Emperor Zhengshi can still go to see Mo Jingchun because of his thoughts, but how will Mo Jingchun come to see His Majesty?
Upon hearing Liu Hao's words, Emperor Zhengshi raised his eyelids slightly, "You really care about Master."
These words reveal a bit of fierce monopoly.
The old god Liu Hao said on the ground: "Your Majesty, this servant is thinking of you. Now that Taifu Mo is the person His Majesty thinks of, naturally this servant should think more about him. After all, when His Majesty is happy, so is this servant. "He put these words on the bright side.
Emperor Zhengshi said lightly: "With Master's temper, it's still a bit of a grind."
It's just that the words are eager to try but ready to come out.
Emperor Zhengshi felt that his patience was not as good as before.
When Mo Jingchun was hesitant before, he could pretend for several months, as long as his master let his guard down a little bit, he would succeed again.The master is not good at this point, he is always soft-hearted, and he can be easily captured by Emperor Zhengshi.
The emperor thought so, but he didn't think about how cold and tough he was, and his bad deeds in the past can be said to be full. If he hadn't gradually tasted the need for patience later, Mo Jingchun might not be able to respond to him now.
At this time, Liu Cunjian outside the hall begged to see him.
All the tenderness on Emperor Zhengshi's face was swallowed up by the coldness, and turned into pure evil, "Well done."
He is full of restlessness and has nowhere to say it!
Every time Liu Cunjian brought back news, it would immediately pull the entire palace into a chilling atmosphere.
...
After turning over the years, and going to court again, it seems to be a little more strange for no reason.
Mo Jingchun was standing by the side in court clothes, and after greeting several old officials, he saw Emperor Zhengshi wearing a crown and wearing a crown, slowly walking up the steps and standing on top of the palace.
The courtiers shouted long live, looking beautiful.
In less than two moments, the warmth of the New Year was strangled in an instant. Headed by Lin Yushi, more than a dozen courtiers came out together, asking His Majesty to strictly investigate King Qi.
At the same time, Xue Qing also came out to lay down conclusive evidence for King Qi's murder.
Xue Qing does not stand on any side, he only stands on the side of the truth.
Even so, Mo Jingchun was really worried about Xue Qing.As soon as Xue Qing appeared, he stood in front of the royal clan.Even though this matter has nothing to do with the princes, once the king of Qi is strictly investigated, wouldn't it mean that their interests will also be damaged. In this way, the princes who are still in the court are clearly standing on the other side.
For the first time in the Great Dynasty, it was impossible to deal with it because of this matter.
Emperor Zhengshi didn't say much in the court, but went to the Xianying Hall after the court, and discussed with the cabinet for a long time.
The cabinet could not come up with a unified statement.
After all, it's fine to just punish King Qi, but the rush to come up just now is not just for King Qi's affairs!Which one can enter the cabinet is not an old fritters?
But Xu Boheng said: "King Qi went out of Beijing against the decree and rushed all the way back to the fiefdom. No matter what Lin Yushi wants to do, King Qi must be punished for his actions. Otherwise, if His Majesty wants to talk to the clan in the future, this matter will be choked up." It's in the middle." He looked at Emperor Zhengshi while talking, obviously in Xu Ge's heart, it was wrong for the emperor to endure until now.
Emperor Zhengshi did not have such a soft personality. When King Qi's incident happened, many courtiers thought that the emperor would be furious, but they didn't expect that His Majesty has not yet.
Emperor Zhengshi: "Old Xu Ge is right. King Qi's behavior has exceeded the limit, and he should be punished. As for Lin Yushi's rhetoric, let's put it on hold and discuss it later."
The imperial court issued an edict lightly, reprimanding King Qi for his actions, and fined him three years of food salary.
The family is not satisfied with such a punishment.
At this time when the wind and rain were bleak, Zhang Qianzhao and other examiners had begun to enter the examination institute. Except for the things that had to be handled, they would be sent to the institute by special personnel for their disposal, but they themselves could not have any contact with their family servants. Someone is responsible for their daily life.
And Mo Jingchun finally found some time after the year, and went to the palace to meet Emperor Zhengshi.
At that time Emperor Zhengshi was in the imperial study, talking with several officials from aristocratic families, Mo Jingchun was invited by Liu Hao to rest in the cubicle, he saw the old imperial doctor waiting there.
There used to be no custom in the palace to ask for the pulse of Ping'an, but after Emperor Zhengshi ascended the throne, the Tai Hospital has developed a habit, and every seven days there will be a special person in charge of asking for the pulse of several nobles.Emperor Zhengshi is here with the old imperial doctor, and the empress dowager also has an imperial doctor with outstanding medical talents.
Mo Jingchun leaned back, which surprised the old doctor.
The old imperial physician: "Zong Zhengqing is really annoyed."
Mo Jingchun shook his head and smiled, but didn't move any more, just sat quietly.
The old imperial doctor knew about the relationship between the emperor and Zong Zhengqing, and he was the one who came to give this man a pulse when he almost had an accident before.Looking at the emperor's tyranny before, he thought that the trouble would soon become known to the government and the public, so he couldn't help admonishing him, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would keep this matter a secret for a year or two.
He took a look at Mo Jingchun, and found that the depression on his brows before had dissipated a little.
After the officials in the imperial study retreated, Liu Hao rushed to invite Mo Jingchun, and after sending him in, Liu Hao turned around and said: "Your Majesty may not have much time in the next two hours, why don't you go back to the Imperial Hospital first?" ?”
The old doctor and god are there, but they know it well.
There was a vacation in the middle, and now that the two meet again, they probably have a lot to say in their hearts.The old doctor was not the kind of person who would not wink. He carried the medicine box and went back with the medicine boy.
It's just that in the imperial study room, it's not as ambiguous as he thought.
Mo Jingchun came to see the emperor because he really had something important to discuss.
Due to the restriction of spirits, Mo Jingchun couldn't say some things too clearly, but he was able to give a little hint.If the emperor could understand what he meant, then everyone would be happy.
He also once asked Jingguai, wouldn't such an approach be cheating?
But Jingguai said, 【How many people in this world can accept it so calmly like Gongyeqi? 】
Mo Jingchun thought for a while, but remained silent again.
There are so many strange things and many changes in him, so hard to bear, but Mo Jingchun never thought of telling his family about the changes that happened to him.
Even the elder brother who was closest to him could not speak a single word.
Mo Jingchun knew that changes in people's hearts were unpredictable, so he couldn't gamble with them.
If the emperor hadn't discovered it himself, Mo Jingchun would never have told him.
Gongye Qi is the most important task object.
But Jingguai also said that it is best not to tell the emperor the goal of the mission frankly.
Because not all goals are completely in line with the emperor's goals, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. If one day they conflict with each other, wouldn't Mo Jingchun prefer to be punished as before?
When Mo Jingchun thought of the punishment that had not yet left, he trembled in fear.
He has experienced the mystery hidden in this kind of mission before.
Therefore, Mo Jingchun did not mention these tasks, but spoke tactfully, expressing the suspicion in the conversation between him and Liu Su before, and then talked about clan relatives from aristocratic families, from clan relatives to imperial examinations, and then from imperial examinations. Speaking of quizzes.Although he doesn't like to talk, but he is a writer after all, when he really wants to convince others, he can speak eloquently and eloquently.
Emperor Zhengshi sat behind the table, originally wanting to kiss Fangze with his master, but instead he heard a lot about government affairs.
The emperor looked at Mo Jingchun with a cold face. The master stood in front of him, but he didn't flinch in the slightest. He looked at Mo Jingchun for a while, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
Forget it, didn't he know that his master had such a character before?
Emperor Zhengshi: "...the matter of the imperial examination is mixed in, and it can be used as a weapon. According to the master, what method is the most suitable?"
Mo Jingchun paused, and spoke in a low voice.
Emperor Zhengshi was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed, "Master, Master, aren't you also a bad embryo?"
Mo Jingchun said solemnly: "This is all for the sake of the overall situation."
Emperor Zhengshi laughed and sighed, and suddenly realized that Mo Jingchun had relaxed a lot in front of him, and he definitely couldn't tell the tricks like before.Realizing this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his mind a few times first, pondered the idea Mo Jingchun said for a while, felt quite reasonable, so he wrote it down for the time being.
But this business is over, we can't ignore personal matters.
Emperor Zhengshi didn't take the initiative to look for Mo Jingchun until today, just because when he parted before New Year's Eve, his master said "I will go to you" when he was obsessed with him. For these five short words, Zhengshi The emperor has not activated until today.
Not the King, not His Majesty.
If Mo Jingchun Tete came to him just for business, then Emperor Zhengshi would be very unhappy.
Seeing His Majesty's eyes sparkle, Mo Jingchun couldn't help but feel his heart beating.
He thought about his thoughts for the past two days, and said in a staggered manner: "In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival... I wonder if Your Majesty has time, why not..." Mo Jingchun was embarrassed, and he didn't know how long he held it in before he finally gave up. He barely managed to speak out, but before he could finish speaking, Emperor Zhengshi grabbed his sleeve and tugged at him, slipped in and held his curled fingers, and said with a half-smile: "Master is inviting me to Parade?"
Mo Jingchun stopped talking, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.
Lantern Festival parade is a unique custom, especially if a man and a woman are affectionate and invite each other during the festive season, if they can go all the way to the end safely, it means that the two are destined.In fact, this traditional custom is also related to world affairs. It is not so easy to linger in such a lively street.
Mo Jingchun originally just followed His Majesty's wishes and found a free time to meet, but Emperor Zhengshi made a date in a few words.
He even pointedly said: "If the master feels that it is not perfect enough, the East Mansion will also be ready. At that time..." His eyes swept down and brushed Mo Jingchun's belly, "It can also satisfy one or two things. .”
Mo Jingchun subconsciously hid back, "Your Majesty
