Mrs. Mo said he would not agree
Chapter 73
When Mo Jingchun returned to Mo's house, he couldn't help rubbing his waist.
This strange soreness made Mo Jingchun walk very slowly, but when Tao Niang trotted over, she still swayed.
He suppressed the strange feeling at that moment, squatted down slowly, looked at Tao Niang and said, "I'm sorry, Aye was not here yesterday." Since Tao Niang would specially wait in front of the door yesterday morning, of course she would also look forward to seeing her in the evening .
In the end, he had an accident and didn't come back.
Tao Niang leaned in Mo Jingchun's arms and did not speak.
Mo Jingchun coaxed her for a while, then led her back.
On the way, Tao Niang followed a little follower, no matter where Mo Jingchun went, she would follow him there.They went to visit Mo Feihe together, and when they came back again, Tao Niang followed in small steps.
When Mo Jingchun changed his clothes, she waited outside, and when he went out, Tao Niang followed him step by step.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, feeling that Tao Niang's reaction today was more intense than before, so he couldn't help but stop to look at her, took her to sit down softly, squeezed her fingers, and found that they were warm, Then he laughed, "Tao Niang, what do you want to tell me?"
Otherwise, would Tao Niang hold back until now?
Tao Niang pursed her lips, squeezed her small hands, and said after a long time, "Aye, will you marry again in the future?"
Mo Jingchun was in a daze for a moment, Tao Niang looked at his face, and hurriedly said, "Aye, I hope you can marry again."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, looked at Tao Niang's nervous face, and suddenly smiled.
"But who said something in front of Tao Niang?" The Mo family has a simple population, so it is not difficult to find out.
Tao Niang's expression withered and she shook her head.
It took her a while before she mustered up her courage.
"If Aye marries again, won't he need to enter the palace?"
Tao Niang's voice became softer.
Mo Jingchun's heart felt as if it had been knocked suddenly.
Compared to what Mo Guangsheng and Xu Sumei knew, the feeling of being torn apart by Tao Niang was even more embarrassing. He licked his lips, "... Tao Niang, why do you think so?"
Tao Niang threw herself into Mo Jingchun's arms, and said with grievance, "He is so domineering!"
Mo Jingchun "..."
What he wanted to say was blocked.
Tao Niang continued to say aggrievedly, "I don't even care that he wants to grab Aye from me, but why did he take away yesterday's time!"
Tao Niang was wronged to death.
Mo Jingchun couldn't laugh or cry, put his arms around Tao Niang and said, "Why do you think I was with His Majesty yesterday? Didn't Wei Yi say that? I was with Yuan Heming and the others.
"There was an accident yesterday, so..." He paused, his injury didn't look serious, and he took off the bandage after waking up, leaving only a mark, which looked a little red and swollen.
Since Mo Jingchun was still wearing a hat, he couldn't see clearly.
Mo Jingchun thought for a while, but touched her little head and said, "Except for some accidents, I didn't have time to come back."
It's not okay to answer Tao Niang directly about this kind of thing, but if she deceives her, it would be wrong if Tao Niang finds out again in the future.Mo Jingchun could only speak carefully... After all, what Tao Niang said just now was not because she really knew the relationship between Mo Jingchun and Emperor Zhengshi, but because she was depressed.
Tao Niang said anxiously, "What accident?"
Mo Jingchun took off the crown and hat, revealing the injury on her forehead. Immediately, Tao Niang's eyes turned red, Mo Jingchun felt a little regretful, and hugged the little girl to persuade her.
After persuading her for a while, Tao Niang stuck to Mo Jingchun's arm and said nothing.
Mo Jingchun hugged Tao Niang, and said slowly, "But why doesn't Tao Niang like His Majesty?"
Emperor Zhengshi didn't have much contact with Tao Niang, only a few times.
Did it leave a deep impression on Tao Niang?
Tao Niang seemed to be holding back for a long time, hiding beside Mo Jingchun and speaking ill of Emperor Zhengshi, including the grievances he felt towards Emperor Zhengshi from the very beginning. keen.
"He's so domineering." She said aggrievedly, "When he was around, Tao Niang didn't even dare to come over."
Mo Jingchun sighed, hugged Tao Niang and said, "He is the emperor, the whole world belongs to him, let alone Tao Niang, ordinary people dare not make mistakes in front of him. It can be said that he is the biggest official. "
"Older than Ayer?"
"Bigger than Ayer."
"Older than grandfather?"
"Bigger than grandfather."
"Woooo..."
Tao Niang clutches Mo Jingchun's sleeve and cries aggrievedly.
But it's also fake crying.
This little girl was very clever, but she wasn't that wronged, she just took the opportunity to act like a spoiled child to Aye.
By the time Mo Jingchun sent the sleeping Tao Niang back, half an hour had passed.
On the way back, he ran into Xu Sumei who was coming out of Mo Yuanze's courtyard. When the two met, they both smiled.
The two walked side by side.
The maids and servants followed unhurriedly.
Xu Sumei: "I plan to take Tao Niang out for a walk after the next year." When my daughter reaches the age, she will start to go out for a walk. It doesn't need to be frequent, but she must let the circle know that there is such a person.
Mo Jingchun bowed, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
He has no wives and concubines, so he really has to rely on Xu Sumei to raise his daughter.
Xu Sumei smiled and shook her head, "This is a big deal, Anniang is still young, and Taoniang is just like my daughter, so you don't have to worry about it. But just now Yuan Ze went to his father and came back and said that you were injured?"
Mo Jingchun's movements last night were completely covered up by Wei Yi.
It was said that Mo Jingchun was out drinking with a group of friends.
Xu Sumei knew that Mo Jingchun had two or three close friends and made friends, so if she was called away on her birthday and would not return drunk, it would not be impossible.As for whether it is with a friend or a lover, there is no need to study it carefully, is it?
"It's just some accidents, but I'm on the alert. Everyone in this family should be more careful. Don't make any accidents happen." He touched the wound on his forehead and roughly told the story.
Xu Sumei's face changed slightly. This was indeed a disaster, but it should not be underestimated.
This falling thing from a high altitude can easily kill a life.
Xu Sumei wrote down this matter, and when they came to the end, the two separated, and then they went in different directions.
Mo Jingchun was followed by Wei Yi, and when he returned to the house, he left him alone and asked everyone else to retreat for the time being.
"……come out."
Mo Jingchun hesitated for a while before speaking.
Immediately, three or four people appeared in the room, all kneeling in front of Mo Jingchun.
Just before they appeared, almost no one would think that there was someone hiding in the place where they were hiding. Even Wei Yi only found three of them, but the fourth one was unexpected.
Mo Jingchun, "Where are the others?"
The first person said, "It's all hidden outside."
Mo Jingchun exhaled lightly, rubbing his forehead a little helplessly.
Emperor Zhengshi would hand over these people to him, there must be the stimulation of the assassination of King Qinghe last time, that incident... Mo Jingchun should really admit his mistake.But handing over these hidden guards to Mo Jingchun made him a little embarrassed. It would be a bit mean to let them live as they used to. His life here is definitely not like that in the palace.
However... If they are not allowed to continue like this, they must be allowed to live normally...
Mo Jingchun glanced at Wei Yi, and suddenly let them all go down again.
Even if they hid in the dark, they could still hear the conversation between Mo Jingchun and Wei Yi, but if they were not here, Mo Jingchun pretended not to know.
Mo Jingchun, "Wei Yi, do you think these people, if they take off their masks and live in the open..."
Wei Yi smiled wryly and said, "Master, they are different from me. Although I am also a secret guard, I was trained for the sake of the public from the beginning, but this group has been trained in the dark from the beginning. The greatest use lies in the elusiveness that ordinary people cannot guard against. If they are allowed to walk in the dark, I am afraid that they will soon find out that something is wrong."
Wei Yi is also selfish, he naturally hopes that these people can protect Mo Jingchun as much as possible.
He has been by Mo Jingchun's side for several years, but such a generous master is rare, and he does not want anything to happen to Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun thought about it, after all, he cleared out a small remote courtyard next to the outer academy, cleaned all the houses inside, and then asked people to deliver food there every day.
It is only allowed to enter and exit at a fixed time, and no other time is allowed.
In this way, it is also a place to stay.
Mo Jingchun ordered them to arrange it freely, so there is no need to worry that they will not use it.
The outer study room is Mo Jingchun's place, and Xu Sumei seldom interferes with the affairs of the front yard. What is used here is not the public account, but Mo Jingchun's own private house.The person in charge of the courtyard is Mohen, followed by Wei Yi.
The money was spent by Mohen, and the person in charge of the hidden guard was Wei Yi.
In this way, the possibility of being discovered is minimized.
Of course, for the mistress of the house, it is impossible for the house to suddenly clean up the small courtyard without feeling anything, but after discovering that it was Mo Jingchun's handwriting, she did not investigate further.
Wei Yi once said to Mohen privately, "Actually, let them go. After all, who didn't survive like this in the past? It's our gentleman who has a kind heart."
Mohen said speechlessly, "You don't want your old colleagues to live well because you made it out of your own way?"
Wei Yi sneered, "What do you think they are? They're not human at all, and of course I'm not a good thing either. If I'm still in the palace, I'm just an artifact."
A knife that works, who cares about the mood of the knife?
Mo Jingchun would care.
Therefore, people like Mo Jingchun seemed to them to be too soft-hearted, otherwise they would not have retreated step by step in the confrontation with Emperor Zhengshi.
sometimes……
It's not that Mo Jingchun can't figure out His Majesty's intentions, he just can't match his ruthlessness.
It is too difficult to be someone who is more ruthless than Emperor Zhengshi.
These are all things to say later, at this moment, after Mo Jingchun arranged those hidden guards, he was finally the only one left in the room.
Mo Jingchun sat behind him, using a cushion to relieve the soreness in his waist.
He took out two tokens from his pocket.
One is small, belonging to a dark guard.
The other is a large one, the so-called Taizu Ling.
When Mo Jingchun went to see Mo Feihe, he asked about Taizu Ling.
Although Mo Feihe was surprised why Mo Jingchun was curious about this matter, he stroked his beard and thought about it for a while, and then told Mo Jingchun the ins and outs.
"Back then, Taizu did not conquer the world alone. There were three brothers beside him. When he reached the last step, there were only two people left by Taizu's side. After conquering the world, only one person was willing to stay. The ancestors were grateful, and finally forged three Taizu Tokens." Mo Feihe said lightly, "One of them is naturally unowned, and the remaining two were given to the two people who are still alive. The one who left Man, I only know his surname is 'Cheng', the rest, who do you think is in the court today?"
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, "Is he still in court?"
Mo Feihe nodded, "It's still in court."
Mo Jingchun thought for a while, and after a moment of silence, "Xu Boheng."
This unexpected answer made Mo Feihe laugh, and finally nodded. He sighed and said, "It is indeed Xu Boheng."
The Xu family has never shown their mountains or waters, nor their arrogance.
Time has passed for a long time, and there are actually very few people who can remember these things.
Mo Feihe shook his head, "It's not always like this, the Xu family's Taizuling is no longer here. Do you remember that about 200 years ago, there was a turmoil that almost destroyed the dynasty?"
Mo Jingchun nodded, because the records of Zongzheng Temple went wrong because of that turmoil, so that they paid a lot of money to track it down.
Mo Feihe "This matter is related to the Xu family."
Mo Jingchun: "...so the reason why the Xu family hibernated in the past few years is because the ancestors had riots, and they finally survived by relying on the Taizu's decree. The Xu family can continue the rebellion of the abolished concubine before. It's because of Xu Boheng."
Relying on Zu En, relying on talents, the Xu family barely survived.
Mo Feihe said with a light smile, "Don't look at Xu Boheng as an old fox, but he is actually very sincere to the Gongye royal family. Over the years, he has never been disadvantaged in the court, except for the two times when he thought about his mistakes behind closed doors, he took the initiative to take risks. I asked for it."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, "Aye seems to know a lot about these secret things."
Mo Feihe, "Who will please His Majesty for my father?"
Mo Jingchun "..."
Cough!
There was no ambiguity in Mo Feihe's words. After he was promoted by Emperor Yongning, he was indeed trusted by His Majesty, so much so that he knew a lot about some important secrets.
Mo Feihe, "Xu Boheng thought that although the prince was intelligent, he was secretly violent and could not be a king. He said this in front of the late emperor, and he was so angry that the late emperor was furious and had a big fight with him."
Mo Jingchun: "...Old Xu Ge, did you have a big fight with the first emperor?"
He thought about the elegant and calm appearance of the two, but he really couldn't figure out what this so-called "big fight" looked like.
Mo Feihe smiled and said, "Of course, they were arguing in the imperial study. I was listening outside. The late emperor was so angry that the inkstone dropped, and the entire imperial study was covered in ink."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, complaining that it was a coincidence that Mo Feihe knew about this.
Otherwise, no matter how much the late emperor trusted Mo Feihe, it would be impossible for him to bring this matter up.
"At that time, the late emperor was very angry. After he beat Xu Boheng back and thought about it behind closed doors, not long after, the late emperor took me to his residence. It was originally because of other things...but unexpectedly, the late emperor quarreled with Xu Boheng again because of this matter. "
Mo Jingchun, "Xu Ge is very persistent."
Otherwise, it won't be the same again and again.
Mo Feihe said lightly, "Of course he will persist. Judging from the present, his persistence is also correct to some extent."
Mo Jingchun paused, and looked at Mo Feihe suddenly.
Their father had been extremely tall in their minds since they were young, and the appearance of speaking softly like this only gradually appeared after A Niang passed away.
Mo Feihe spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something inconspicuous, "I still remember what His Majesty said at that time. He said, 'Some members of my royal family are weak, some are sick and thin, and some are disabled. There is also stupidity, they can all be kings, why can't my son sit on the throne?'"
Emperor Yongning was a gentle, calm and calm gentleman.
But at that moment, Mo Feihe really saw the ferocity of unwillingness in him.
This is probably because of the knot in Emperor Yongning's heart.
At the beginning, it was because of his health that he almost missed the throne.
Visiting the door this time extended Xu Boheng's contemplation behind closed doors for another half a month.
After Xu Boheng returned to the court, the monarch and his ministers acted as if nothing had happened, just like before.
Mo Feihe: "It's not that the Xu family didn't do anything wrong, but they all lived a wonderful life, and finally left a bloodline. Xu Boheng also has a young son, and Gong Yeming, who was deposed, had met him before, and heard It's a good life, His Majesty is not harsh, but more comfortable than outside."
When he said this, he realized that the topic was going too far, so he came back to it.
"Two pieces of the Taizu Token belong to the royal family now, and one piece should belong to the descendants of the 'Cheng' surname." Mo Feihe said, "But as time goes by, the Taizu Token is probably not as deterrent as it was at the beginning."
Mo Jingchun smiled, "There are not many left, if you want to make it easier, it's probably easy."
Mo Feihe laughed, looked at his second son and said, "It's not as simple as doing it conveniently, how come someone holds the Taizu order to go to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, at least five hundred soldiers can be mobilized."
Mo Jingchun: "... Taizu didn't think about it at the beginning, if one day, those descendants will fall?"
Mo Feihe: "What is depravity? If the royal family can't stop it, isn't the royal family itself degenerate?"
Mo Jingchun was thoughtful.
He stroked the cold iron plate in his hand, as if he was carrying some kind of heavy pressure.
Mo Jingchun was testing Emperor Zhengshi, so why wasn't the emperor testing him?
This iron plate is a protection for Mo Jingchun, but it is also a restraint for Mo Jingchun. With his personality, it is really too difficult to go to the place where the fish is dead and the net is broken.
But when you take something, you will definitely think about it.
The more affection, the more bondage.
Emperor Zhengshi knew that he would know.
He also knew that Emperor Zhengshi would know.
Mo Jingchun rested his forehead wearily, the condition of Emperor Zhengshi was very ancient.
The old doctor is often ambiguous, but he speaks in a spirited way.Especially the attitude of looking for his brother is becoming more and more urgent, this attitude really makes people feel uneasy.
but……
Mo Jingchun sighed deeply, but couldn't help laughing.
Emperor Zhengshi was a lunatic.
Mo Jingchun was fully aware of this fact.
But this madman...
Mo Jingchun stroked the cold utensil in his hand. At the craziest moment, even though he was extremely violent, even though he was tempted and calculated, he could peel off layers of yin and rage, but he was still warm.
Even though the warmth is bloody, terrifying, infiltrating and twisted, it really exists.
Then, Mo Jingchun started pampering this utterly insane beast...
What is it?
...
It was snowing heavily outside the window, and it was so cold that the walls in the carriage were covered with chills.
Lan Songbai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, twisted his body stiffly, looked at You Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple who was dozing across the way, and couldn't help sighing.
With his sigh, You Shaoqing woke up and opened his eyes again.
In just ten or so days, the Minister of Rites and You Shaoqing were forced to get acquainted.
It doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with it, there are only three carriages in this team, one is for the two of them, the remaining two are for the eldest prince and their attendants, and there are escorts for mourning etiquette, the team is neither long nor short, it is already almost Go to the county where Jiao's family is located.
The two of them looked at each other all day in the carriage. Although it was boring, it was much better than the soldiers marching outside.
Boring is boring, and I can't say anything critical.
Lan Songbai "It will be here in two days."
You Shaoqing said quietly, "It's good to be safe."
Lan Songbai "Can you have some confidence? Your Majesty has sent so many people. If you get timid in front of Mrs. Jiao, we will be finished when we go back."
You Shaoqing was calm and composed, "Did you forget what Zongzheng Temple is for?"
From left to right, they are all clan relatives.
Are they afraid?
Lan Songbai snorted coldly, "The Ministry of Rites is not scared either."
The Ministry of Rites receives envoys from various countries, but none of them are more relaxed than Zongzheng Temple.
If Mo Jingchun was here, he would definitely recognize him. This person was the Minister of Rituals who found something wrong with the dancing girl in Jiaotai Hall.
You Shaoqing "Since that's the case, what are you afraid of?"
In fact, it's not that Lan Songbai is afraid, but that he always has an unconscious tension.
After a long time, he said helplessly, "You don't know, how could the Jiao family not be prepared for such a big event this time? But the eldest prince is only four years old and has a weak temper. We must support him when the time comes.
"But if the eldest prince is not careful..."
Is he afraid of standing up?
The fox is pretending to be the tiger, the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple are the best, otherwise why are they here?
But the problem is the safety of the First Prince.
No matter who it is, looking at these eight hundred soldiers, they will not feel relaxed.
You Shaoqing's face became serious.
He stayed in Zongzheng Temple for six years, but he almost forgot that things outside were not as simple as Zongzheng Temple.
... Zongzheng Temple was not simple in the past.
How can it be easy to deal with clan relatives?
It was after Mo Jingchun came that he became very organized without realizing it, and unexpectedly no troubles occurred.
Originally, they were still worried. If Zong Zhengqing who replaced him was too easy to talk, or too difficult to talk, it would be really troublesome.The last Zong Zhengqing was too talkative, which made it difficult for them to deal with.
In the end, Mo Jingchun gave them a great surprise in the past four years.
When things happen, this person has always been on top of himself, and I have never seen him retreat.
They don't need to worry about having no backing when they do things. As long as it is a reasonable thing, Mo Jingchun will never make them stage fright. Who doesn't love such a superior?
You Shaoqing glanced at the Minister of Rites, at least he was better than Huang Zhenghe.
If the minister of the Ministry of Rites hadn't been exaggerating... Emperor Zhengshi had only one eldest prince under his knees.
Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone made a move against the eldest prince, or said some cruel words like the eldest prince?
Only then did You Shaoqing become vigilant, and discussed with Lan Songbai carefully.
In two days, the group had already arrived outside the county. It was naturally impossible for hundreds of elite soldiers to enter the city, but about fifty of them went in and out with the First Prince.The members of Jiao's family went thirty miles outside the city gate to meet them in person, and the person who came was the next eldest son of Jiao's family.
The eldest prince should call him uncle.
His name is Jiao Yao.
The eldest prince seemed weak in the palace, but after leaving the palace, there were two older nuns and servants who followed him. He usually went in and out and only showed up on necessary occasions, so there was nothing wrong with it.
And the two officials acted according to the etiquette, very considerate and thoughtful.
Both sides are considered courteous, and it is ironic.
The First Prince would go to pay respects to the place where the coffin stopped every day, and Jiao Yao would be there every time. He could see the curiosity and nameless sadness in the First Prince's eyes.The eldest prince is still young and cannot yet feel the sadness of leaving, but seeing people coming and going in tears every day, he can somewhat empathize with him.
Every time the First Prince came in and out, he was not only followed by the palace maids, but even the officials followed him from time to time, as if they were extremely vigilant.
Jiao Yao sighed inwardly, but he also understood their caution.
The deposed concubine Jiao Shi is his younger sister.
Before entering the palace, Jiao Yao had persuaded his father that his sister was not suitable for entering the palace.
But I don't know what kind of exchange the late emperor had with Jiao Ming, it's already a foregone conclusion.
Until now, Jiao Yao didn't know if his father regretted it before he died, but he already knew exactly what Jiao Ming did and what he was going to do now.
He knelt before the coffin and sighed heavily.
Looking forward to a hundred years from now, the people of the tribe will not poke their backs and scold them, it is a blessing.
Before the eldest prince left, he glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling there, and then at the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was following him. Suddenly, he took small steps, walked to Jiao Yao's side, and hugged him on his feet. his neck, and then turned away.
Jiao Yao was slightly stunned, watching the back of the eldest prince leaving.
Just now when the First Prince left, he called him "Uncle" in a low voice.
Apart from going in and out with the First Prince every day, the Minister of Rites and You Shaoqing naturally also have entertainment.It's just that under such weird circumstances, they didn't show up at all except for the banquet they had to go to, and they stayed until the last day.
Wake up today, and then go to the funeral.
The Jiao family was extremely busy, but even so, there was no sign of panic. The people of the clan who came and went in a hurry were wearing plain clothes, which made the whole winter even more severe.
Originally, the eldest prince could not go with him, but perhaps these days made him realize something, and he offered to go together.
Since the First Prince wanted to move, those elite soldiers would naturally go with him.
Originally, the Jiao family wanted to act in a low-key manner, but he never wanted to be disturbed by these elite soldiers. It seemed that countless people came to see him off.
Sitting in the carriage, the First Prince looked at the people who followed up spontaneously outside, and said blankly, "Why are they doing this?"
It's freezing cold, no matter whether it's a carriage or riding a horse, you have to be extremely careful.
It is difficult for people to lift their feet when walking outside, but even so, there are quite a few people who come out.They followed the frame unhurriedly, and occasionally they could hear soft crying.Coupled with the heavy snow all over the sky, it seems that this coldness also reveals resentment, and it becomes more and more bone-chilling in the soft crying.
The mother said, "The Jiao family's influence is deeply rooted here, but I heard that they are honest and upright, and they are quite popular. Now that the eldest son has passed away, I feel sad."
She spoke calmly on the surface, but she was worried in her heart.
If people like this naturally gather their energy, they must win the hearts of the people.
Doing things for the people is a good thing, but if...
She looked outside, and there were some capable soldiers following the carriage frame. With them, she felt relieved.It's just that at this moment, a sense of panic rose in her heart for some reason, as if something was about to happen.
She didn't dare to underestimate the feeling of uneasiness, so she was informed to the two officials in the carriage behind her.
But until they arrived at the place of burial, it was peaceful and quiet.
The eldest prince insisted on getting off the carriage and following him in, but in the end it was the Minister of Rites who took the eldest prince to go in person.
And ten soldiers, no matter how many, it would be a shock.
You Shaoqing stood guard outside, looking at Jiao's cemetery.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is very good, but it is not extravagant, it is very low-key.The clansmen standing outside could see the solemnity and sadness, but they couldn't show any other emotions.
The faces of the few old people who were born in the palace around them were not good-looking. If the First Prince hadn't insisted on going in, it would be impossible for them to let the First Prince out of their sight right now.
It's just that this is the Jiao family's ancestral tomb after all, so it's not easy for them to force their way into it.
Jiao's name, even if they come from the palace, they can't be arbitrary.
You Shaoqing was a little impatient waiting outside, but he didn't show any expression on his face.
It's not that he doesn't have the slightest sympathy, it's just that he is concerned about the safety of the eldest prince, so naturally he can't separate his mind to think about other things. His eyes look from the front to the back, from the Jiao clan to the elite soldiers waiting outside, except for the Ministry of Rites In addition to the servant, the eldest prince was accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards.
Someone came out suddenly, and those Jiao clan members standing outside looked a little panicked, and then someone ran in.
You Shaoqing's face changed slightly, and he suddenly strode forward and said abruptly, "What happened?"
The Jiao clan member who was caught by him looked very young, turned his head and said in panic, "I don't know, I heard that something happened inside."
misfortune? !
You Shaoqing's face changed drastically, and when he was about to rush in, he saw Jiao Yao striding out with the eldest prince in his arms, a lot of blood was splashed on his body, and the pattering blood was still splashing down.
The eldest prince who was protected by him was a little dazed, but he didn't seem to be injured.
Surrounded by a dozen or so soldiers, there were also many members of the Jiao clan in plain clothes holding weapons, all of them were surrounded by grief and anger.
Jiao Yao personally protected the eldest prince outside, when the elite soldiers who had been stationed rushed forward.
You Shaoqing's face changed drastically, and he said sharply, "Jiao Yao, what are you doing?"
The eldest prince whispered in Jiao Yao's arms, "He protected me."
Except for the elite soldiers who followed Jiao Yao, a dozen or so people were sent out after a while. They looked big and thick, and they were all dressed in white shirts. As for their hands and feet, they were all tied up. Even his mouth was gagged.
It was just these people who suddenly became violent and almost hurt the First Prince.
It was Jiao Yao who blocked him for a while, and then used himself to protect the eldest prince, so he came out smoothly.
"Blocked it?" You Shaoqing looked at the servant of the Ministry of Rites with a strange expression on his face, but he heard something wrong from Jiao Yao's narration just now.
The servant of the Ministry of Rites also looked a bit embarrassed. He wiped his sweat and said, "These people all came in from the Jiao family, with the purpose of coming here for the eldest prince. But they, Jiao Yao, dare not hurt them. So Jiao Yao used himself as a meat shield to protect the eldest prince."
When such a thing happened in Jiao's cemetery, no matter whether it was the Jiao family or the people from the court, they were all furious.
After careful investigation, they discovered that these people had been eyeing the eldest prince from the very beginning, but because there were too many soldiers and horses coming and going, they couldn't do anything on the road.
The cemetery is solemn, if the First Prince is going to pay respects to Jiao's ancestral tomb, there will definitely not be so many people going in with him.It is indeed easier to start here than outside, but they have forgotten——
The eldest prince is also from the Jiao family.
Even though he has the name of the royal family, in Jiao Yao's heart, he is naturally his son.
He protects the eldest prince, but he is sincere.
And this group of thieves didn't know why, they didn't dare to attack the Jiao family rashly, so they were forcibly killed by them instead.
And when they did it, they wanted to catch one by surprise.
When the Jiao clan reacted, they wanted to move again, but they were forcibly suppressed by the clansmen in the ancestral grave, and they were all twisted out.
Jiao's interrogation overnight, together with the people from the court, finally found out that the results were indeed shocking.
Especially the Minister of Rites and You Shaoqing, their eyelids twitched wildly.
The general in charge of protection also felt palpitations.
When he learned that he was almost ambushed several times along the way, even You Shaoqing couldn't help cursing in his heart.
These thieves really don't give up!
Thanks to the sufficient manpower sent by His Majesty, otherwise we don't know what will happen on the way.
Although the First Prince was fine, he was still frightened.
When something like this happened in the Jiao family, there was a bit of confusion internally, especially how these people got in, and the ancestral tomb had to be cleaned up, but that's all for later.
After the dust settled, the leading general had already rushed the news to the capital.
However, before the news reached Beijing, Mo Jingchun already knew about it.
Task ten completed
Mo Jingchun, who was taking a bath, froze for a moment, then sank down again, letting the hot water flood his shoulders, "What happened?"
The weather is too cold, these days he almost has to take a shower before falling asleep on the bed.He doesn't like to use charcoal basins. Although the house has underfloor heating, it's still different when it's freezing cold and hot water.
Already all right
Mo Jingchun blew a few times, "The eldest prince's accident this time, who is related to it?" Speaking of this matter, there is still a lot of weirdness.
There are quite a few people who want the First Prince alive, and even more people who want him dead.
But among them, the aristocratic families probably haven't reached the point of hating them so much, only those who want to seize the throne... will hate the successor of Emperor Zhengshi.
In this way, King Qinghe is also somewhat possible.
It's just that now he is dragged on the battlefield by Mo Guang's life and death, so he shouldn't be free to do things.
...Wait, I can't tell.
Mo Jingchun suddenly thought that for King Qinghe, His Majesty had killed his only son, and Emperor Zhengshi had only one eldest prince...
A life for a life is fair.
you guessed right
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows strangely, "Since this is the case, it should be that the additional manpower was sent later to scare them away."
Otherwise, it would be most appropriate to attack on the road, not...
Mo Jingchun pinched his fingers, and now that the first prince is coming back soon, he made a sudden move, probably there is nothing he can do.
The eldest prince is safe and Mo Jingchun's mission has been completed, so he is naturally in a good mood.
In addition to these few days, Mohen came back.
His injuries have healed, but he is still unable to do heavy work.
Just as Mo Jingchun guessed before, Mohen didn't plan to get married this year, but postponed the time, planning to wait until the spring of next year.
When asked, Mohen said honestly that he himself hadn't recovered yet.
But in private, Mo Hen told Wei Yi the truth, "My parents told me to get married quickly, saying that I could have a good time, but I'm so good at being alone, I've already woken up, why should she bear such a reputation? ? Even if it is really useful, is it a good thing to be happy?"
Wei Yi smiled and said, "Lang Jun said the same thing."
The smile on Mohen's face became even stronger, as if his own thoughts had been affirmed.
Inside the house, after Mo Jingchun changed his clothes, he hung the clothes in his hand on the screen, and walked towards the outside, but before he reached the door, he heard the sound of arguing outside.
Mo Jingchun opened the door, and saw Mohen and Wei Yi standing in front.
The two of them didn't know what to say, and they looked flushed.
Mo Jingchun "What are you doing?"
Mohen jumped anxiously, "Lang Jun, you are talking about him, the younger ones have told me that I am fine, but he still refuses to let me do things."
Wei Yi glanced at Mohen's pale face, and sneered, "Is it just you who are sick and weak?"
He saluted Mo Jingchun, turned around and Shi Ranran led someone in to fetch water.
Ink marks?
Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "He's right. The doctor has told you to lie down for a while. If you don't listen, it's fine. Why do you want to be brave at this time?"
Mo Hen watched Zhang Li also go in, and then let him in embarrassingly
This strange soreness made Mo Jingchun walk very slowly, but when Tao Niang trotted over, she still swayed.
He suppressed the strange feeling at that moment, squatted down slowly, looked at Tao Niang and said, "I'm sorry, Aye was not here yesterday." Since Tao Niang would specially wait in front of the door yesterday morning, of course she would also look forward to seeing her in the evening .
In the end, he had an accident and didn't come back.
Tao Niang leaned in Mo Jingchun's arms and did not speak.
Mo Jingchun coaxed her for a while, then led her back.
On the way, Tao Niang followed a little follower, no matter where Mo Jingchun went, she would follow him there.They went to visit Mo Feihe together, and when they came back again, Tao Niang followed in small steps.
When Mo Jingchun changed his clothes, she waited outside, and when he went out, Tao Niang followed him step by step.
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, feeling that Tao Niang's reaction today was more intense than before, so he couldn't help but stop to look at her, took her to sit down softly, squeezed her fingers, and found that they were warm, Then he laughed, "Tao Niang, what do you want to tell me?"
Otherwise, would Tao Niang hold back until now?
Tao Niang pursed her lips, squeezed her small hands, and said after a long time, "Aye, will you marry again in the future?"
Mo Jingchun was in a daze for a moment, Tao Niang looked at his face, and hurriedly said, "Aye, I hope you can marry again."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, looked at Tao Niang's nervous face, and suddenly smiled.
"But who said something in front of Tao Niang?" The Mo family has a simple population, so it is not difficult to find out.
Tao Niang's expression withered and she shook her head.
It took her a while before she mustered up her courage.
"If Aye marries again, won't he need to enter the palace?"
Tao Niang's voice became softer.
Mo Jingchun's heart felt as if it had been knocked suddenly.
Compared to what Mo Guangsheng and Xu Sumei knew, the feeling of being torn apart by Tao Niang was even more embarrassing. He licked his lips, "... Tao Niang, why do you think so?"
Tao Niang threw herself into Mo Jingchun's arms, and said with grievance, "He is so domineering!"
Mo Jingchun "..."
What he wanted to say was blocked.
Tao Niang continued to say aggrievedly, "I don't even care that he wants to grab Aye from me, but why did he take away yesterday's time!"
Tao Niang was wronged to death.
Mo Jingchun couldn't laugh or cry, put his arms around Tao Niang and said, "Why do you think I was with His Majesty yesterday? Didn't Wei Yi say that? I was with Yuan Heming and the others.
"There was an accident yesterday, so..." He paused, his injury didn't look serious, and he took off the bandage after waking up, leaving only a mark, which looked a little red and swollen.
Since Mo Jingchun was still wearing a hat, he couldn't see clearly.
Mo Jingchun thought for a while, but touched her little head and said, "Except for some accidents, I didn't have time to come back."
It's not okay to answer Tao Niang directly about this kind of thing, but if she deceives her, it would be wrong if Tao Niang finds out again in the future.Mo Jingchun could only speak carefully... After all, what Tao Niang said just now was not because she really knew the relationship between Mo Jingchun and Emperor Zhengshi, but because she was depressed.
Tao Niang said anxiously, "What accident?"
Mo Jingchun took off the crown and hat, revealing the injury on her forehead. Immediately, Tao Niang's eyes turned red, Mo Jingchun felt a little regretful, and hugged the little girl to persuade her.
After persuading her for a while, Tao Niang stuck to Mo Jingchun's arm and said nothing.
Mo Jingchun hugged Tao Niang, and said slowly, "But why doesn't Tao Niang like His Majesty?"
Emperor Zhengshi didn't have much contact with Tao Niang, only a few times.
Did it leave a deep impression on Tao Niang?
Tao Niang seemed to be holding back for a long time, hiding beside Mo Jingchun and speaking ill of Emperor Zhengshi, including the grievances he felt towards Emperor Zhengshi from the very beginning. keen.
"He's so domineering." She said aggrievedly, "When he was around, Tao Niang didn't even dare to come over."
Mo Jingchun sighed, hugged Tao Niang and said, "He is the emperor, the whole world belongs to him, let alone Tao Niang, ordinary people dare not make mistakes in front of him. It can be said that he is the biggest official. "
"Older than Ayer?"
"Bigger than Ayer."
"Older than grandfather?"
"Bigger than grandfather."
"Woooo..."
Tao Niang clutches Mo Jingchun's sleeve and cries aggrievedly.
But it's also fake crying.
This little girl was very clever, but she wasn't that wronged, she just took the opportunity to act like a spoiled child to Aye.
By the time Mo Jingchun sent the sleeping Tao Niang back, half an hour had passed.
On the way back, he ran into Xu Sumei who was coming out of Mo Yuanze's courtyard. When the two met, they both smiled.
The two walked side by side.
The maids and servants followed unhurriedly.
Xu Sumei: "I plan to take Tao Niang out for a walk after the next year." When my daughter reaches the age, she will start to go out for a walk. It doesn't need to be frequent, but she must let the circle know that there is such a person.
Mo Jingchun bowed, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
He has no wives and concubines, so he really has to rely on Xu Sumei to raise his daughter.
Xu Sumei smiled and shook her head, "This is a big deal, Anniang is still young, and Taoniang is just like my daughter, so you don't have to worry about it. But just now Yuan Ze went to his father and came back and said that you were injured?"
Mo Jingchun's movements last night were completely covered up by Wei Yi.
It was said that Mo Jingchun was out drinking with a group of friends.
Xu Sumei knew that Mo Jingchun had two or three close friends and made friends, so if she was called away on her birthday and would not return drunk, it would not be impossible.As for whether it is with a friend or a lover, there is no need to study it carefully, is it?
"It's just some accidents, but I'm on the alert. Everyone in this family should be more careful. Don't make any accidents happen." He touched the wound on his forehead and roughly told the story.
Xu Sumei's face changed slightly. This was indeed a disaster, but it should not be underestimated.
This falling thing from a high altitude can easily kill a life.
Xu Sumei wrote down this matter, and when they came to the end, the two separated, and then they went in different directions.
Mo Jingchun was followed by Wei Yi, and when he returned to the house, he left him alone and asked everyone else to retreat for the time being.
"……come out."
Mo Jingchun hesitated for a while before speaking.
Immediately, three or four people appeared in the room, all kneeling in front of Mo Jingchun.
Just before they appeared, almost no one would think that there was someone hiding in the place where they were hiding. Even Wei Yi only found three of them, but the fourth one was unexpected.
Mo Jingchun, "Where are the others?"
The first person said, "It's all hidden outside."
Mo Jingchun exhaled lightly, rubbing his forehead a little helplessly.
Emperor Zhengshi would hand over these people to him, there must be the stimulation of the assassination of King Qinghe last time, that incident... Mo Jingchun should really admit his mistake.But handing over these hidden guards to Mo Jingchun made him a little embarrassed. It would be a bit mean to let them live as they used to. His life here is definitely not like that in the palace.
However... If they are not allowed to continue like this, they must be allowed to live normally...
Mo Jingchun glanced at Wei Yi, and suddenly let them all go down again.
Even if they hid in the dark, they could still hear the conversation between Mo Jingchun and Wei Yi, but if they were not here, Mo Jingchun pretended not to know.
Mo Jingchun, "Wei Yi, do you think these people, if they take off their masks and live in the open..."
Wei Yi smiled wryly and said, "Master, they are different from me. Although I am also a secret guard, I was trained for the sake of the public from the beginning, but this group has been trained in the dark from the beginning. The greatest use lies in the elusiveness that ordinary people cannot guard against. If they are allowed to walk in the dark, I am afraid that they will soon find out that something is wrong."
Wei Yi is also selfish, he naturally hopes that these people can protect Mo Jingchun as much as possible.
He has been by Mo Jingchun's side for several years, but such a generous master is rare, and he does not want anything to happen to Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun thought about it, after all, he cleared out a small remote courtyard next to the outer academy, cleaned all the houses inside, and then asked people to deliver food there every day.
It is only allowed to enter and exit at a fixed time, and no other time is allowed.
In this way, it is also a place to stay.
Mo Jingchun ordered them to arrange it freely, so there is no need to worry that they will not use it.
The outer study room is Mo Jingchun's place, and Xu Sumei seldom interferes with the affairs of the front yard. What is used here is not the public account, but Mo Jingchun's own private house.The person in charge of the courtyard is Mohen, followed by Wei Yi.
The money was spent by Mohen, and the person in charge of the hidden guard was Wei Yi.
In this way, the possibility of being discovered is minimized.
Of course, for the mistress of the house, it is impossible for the house to suddenly clean up the small courtyard without feeling anything, but after discovering that it was Mo Jingchun's handwriting, she did not investigate further.
Wei Yi once said to Mohen privately, "Actually, let them go. After all, who didn't survive like this in the past? It's our gentleman who has a kind heart."
Mohen said speechlessly, "You don't want your old colleagues to live well because you made it out of your own way?"
Wei Yi sneered, "What do you think they are? They're not human at all, and of course I'm not a good thing either. If I'm still in the palace, I'm just an artifact."
A knife that works, who cares about the mood of the knife?
Mo Jingchun would care.
Therefore, people like Mo Jingchun seemed to them to be too soft-hearted, otherwise they would not have retreated step by step in the confrontation with Emperor Zhengshi.
sometimes……
It's not that Mo Jingchun can't figure out His Majesty's intentions, he just can't match his ruthlessness.
It is too difficult to be someone who is more ruthless than Emperor Zhengshi.
These are all things to say later, at this moment, after Mo Jingchun arranged those hidden guards, he was finally the only one left in the room.
Mo Jingchun sat behind him, using a cushion to relieve the soreness in his waist.
He took out two tokens from his pocket.
One is small, belonging to a dark guard.
The other is a large one, the so-called Taizu Ling.
When Mo Jingchun went to see Mo Feihe, he asked about Taizu Ling.
Although Mo Feihe was surprised why Mo Jingchun was curious about this matter, he stroked his beard and thought about it for a while, and then told Mo Jingchun the ins and outs.
"Back then, Taizu did not conquer the world alone. There were three brothers beside him. When he reached the last step, there were only two people left by Taizu's side. After conquering the world, only one person was willing to stay. The ancestors were grateful, and finally forged three Taizu Tokens." Mo Feihe said lightly, "One of them is naturally unowned, and the remaining two were given to the two people who are still alive. The one who left Man, I only know his surname is 'Cheng', the rest, who do you think is in the court today?"
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, "Is he still in court?"
Mo Feihe nodded, "It's still in court."
Mo Jingchun thought for a while, and after a moment of silence, "Xu Boheng."
This unexpected answer made Mo Feihe laugh, and finally nodded. He sighed and said, "It is indeed Xu Boheng."
The Xu family has never shown their mountains or waters, nor their arrogance.
Time has passed for a long time, and there are actually very few people who can remember these things.
Mo Feihe shook his head, "It's not always like this, the Xu family's Taizuling is no longer here. Do you remember that about 200 years ago, there was a turmoil that almost destroyed the dynasty?"
Mo Jingchun nodded, because the records of Zongzheng Temple went wrong because of that turmoil, so that they paid a lot of money to track it down.
Mo Feihe "This matter is related to the Xu family."
Mo Jingchun: "...so the reason why the Xu family hibernated in the past few years is because the ancestors had riots, and they finally survived by relying on the Taizu's decree. The Xu family can continue the rebellion of the abolished concubine before. It's because of Xu Boheng."
Relying on Zu En, relying on talents, the Xu family barely survived.
Mo Feihe said with a light smile, "Don't look at Xu Boheng as an old fox, but he is actually very sincere to the Gongye royal family. Over the years, he has never been disadvantaged in the court, except for the two times when he thought about his mistakes behind closed doors, he took the initiative to take risks. I asked for it."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, "Aye seems to know a lot about these secret things."
Mo Feihe, "Who will please His Majesty for my father?"
Mo Jingchun "..."
Cough!
There was no ambiguity in Mo Feihe's words. After he was promoted by Emperor Yongning, he was indeed trusted by His Majesty, so much so that he knew a lot about some important secrets.
Mo Feihe, "Xu Boheng thought that although the prince was intelligent, he was secretly violent and could not be a king. He said this in front of the late emperor, and he was so angry that the late emperor was furious and had a big fight with him."
Mo Jingchun: "...Old Xu Ge, did you have a big fight with the first emperor?"
He thought about the elegant and calm appearance of the two, but he really couldn't figure out what this so-called "big fight" looked like.
Mo Feihe smiled and said, "Of course, they were arguing in the imperial study. I was listening outside. The late emperor was so angry that the inkstone dropped, and the entire imperial study was covered in ink."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, complaining that it was a coincidence that Mo Feihe knew about this.
Otherwise, no matter how much the late emperor trusted Mo Feihe, it would be impossible for him to bring this matter up.
"At that time, the late emperor was very angry. After he beat Xu Boheng back and thought about it behind closed doors, not long after, the late emperor took me to his residence. It was originally because of other things...but unexpectedly, the late emperor quarreled with Xu Boheng again because of this matter. "
Mo Jingchun, "Xu Ge is very persistent."
Otherwise, it won't be the same again and again.
Mo Feihe said lightly, "Of course he will persist. Judging from the present, his persistence is also correct to some extent."
Mo Jingchun paused, and looked at Mo Feihe suddenly.
Their father had been extremely tall in their minds since they were young, and the appearance of speaking softly like this only gradually appeared after A Niang passed away.
Mo Feihe spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something inconspicuous, "I still remember what His Majesty said at that time. He said, 'Some members of my royal family are weak, some are sick and thin, and some are disabled. There is also stupidity, they can all be kings, why can't my son sit on the throne?'"
Emperor Yongning was a gentle, calm and calm gentleman.
But at that moment, Mo Feihe really saw the ferocity of unwillingness in him.
This is probably because of the knot in Emperor Yongning's heart.
At the beginning, it was because of his health that he almost missed the throne.
Visiting the door this time extended Xu Boheng's contemplation behind closed doors for another half a month.
After Xu Boheng returned to the court, the monarch and his ministers acted as if nothing had happened, just like before.
Mo Feihe: "It's not that the Xu family didn't do anything wrong, but they all lived a wonderful life, and finally left a bloodline. Xu Boheng also has a young son, and Gong Yeming, who was deposed, had met him before, and heard It's a good life, His Majesty is not harsh, but more comfortable than outside."
When he said this, he realized that the topic was going too far, so he came back to it.
"Two pieces of the Taizu Token belong to the royal family now, and one piece should belong to the descendants of the 'Cheng' surname." Mo Feihe said, "But as time goes by, the Taizu Token is probably not as deterrent as it was at the beginning."
Mo Jingchun smiled, "There are not many left, if you want to make it easier, it's probably easy."
Mo Feihe laughed, looked at his second son and said, "It's not as simple as doing it conveniently, how come someone holds the Taizu order to go to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, at least five hundred soldiers can be mobilized."
Mo Jingchun: "... Taizu didn't think about it at the beginning, if one day, those descendants will fall?"
Mo Feihe: "What is depravity? If the royal family can't stop it, isn't the royal family itself degenerate?"
Mo Jingchun was thoughtful.
He stroked the cold iron plate in his hand, as if he was carrying some kind of heavy pressure.
Mo Jingchun was testing Emperor Zhengshi, so why wasn't the emperor testing him?
This iron plate is a protection for Mo Jingchun, but it is also a restraint for Mo Jingchun. With his personality, it is really too difficult to go to the place where the fish is dead and the net is broken.
But when you take something, you will definitely think about it.
The more affection, the more bondage.
Emperor Zhengshi knew that he would know.
He also knew that Emperor Zhengshi would know.
Mo Jingchun rested his forehead wearily, the condition of Emperor Zhengshi was very ancient.
The old doctor is often ambiguous, but he speaks in a spirited way.Especially the attitude of looking for his brother is becoming more and more urgent, this attitude really makes people feel uneasy.
but……
Mo Jingchun sighed deeply, but couldn't help laughing.
Emperor Zhengshi was a lunatic.
Mo Jingchun was fully aware of this fact.
But this madman...
Mo Jingchun stroked the cold utensil in his hand. At the craziest moment, even though he was extremely violent, even though he was tempted and calculated, he could peel off layers of yin and rage, but he was still warm.
Even though the warmth is bloody, terrifying, infiltrating and twisted, it really exists.
Then, Mo Jingchun started pampering this utterly insane beast...
What is it?
...
It was snowing heavily outside the window, and it was so cold that the walls in the carriage were covered with chills.
Lan Songbai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, twisted his body stiffly, looked at You Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple who was dozing across the way, and couldn't help sighing.
With his sigh, You Shaoqing woke up and opened his eyes again.
In just ten or so days, the Minister of Rites and You Shaoqing were forced to get acquainted.
It doesn’t matter if you are not familiar with it, there are only three carriages in this team, one is for the two of them, the remaining two are for the eldest prince and their attendants, and there are escorts for mourning etiquette, the team is neither long nor short, it is already almost Go to the county where Jiao's family is located.
The two of them looked at each other all day in the carriage. Although it was boring, it was much better than the soldiers marching outside.
Boring is boring, and I can't say anything critical.
Lan Songbai "It will be here in two days."
You Shaoqing said quietly, "It's good to be safe."
Lan Songbai "Can you have some confidence? Your Majesty has sent so many people. If you get timid in front of Mrs. Jiao, we will be finished when we go back."
You Shaoqing was calm and composed, "Did you forget what Zongzheng Temple is for?"
From left to right, they are all clan relatives.
Are they afraid?
Lan Songbai snorted coldly, "The Ministry of Rites is not scared either."
The Ministry of Rites receives envoys from various countries, but none of them are more relaxed than Zongzheng Temple.
If Mo Jingchun was here, he would definitely recognize him. This person was the Minister of Rituals who found something wrong with the dancing girl in Jiaotai Hall.
You Shaoqing "Since that's the case, what are you afraid of?"
In fact, it's not that Lan Songbai is afraid, but that he always has an unconscious tension.
After a long time, he said helplessly, "You don't know, how could the Jiao family not be prepared for such a big event this time? But the eldest prince is only four years old and has a weak temper. We must support him when the time comes.
"But if the eldest prince is not careful..."
Is he afraid of standing up?
The fox is pretending to be the tiger, the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple are the best, otherwise why are they here?
But the problem is the safety of the First Prince.
No matter who it is, looking at these eight hundred soldiers, they will not feel relaxed.
You Shaoqing's face became serious.
He stayed in Zongzheng Temple for six years, but he almost forgot that things outside were not as simple as Zongzheng Temple.
... Zongzheng Temple was not simple in the past.
How can it be easy to deal with clan relatives?
It was after Mo Jingchun came that he became very organized without realizing it, and unexpectedly no troubles occurred.
Originally, they were still worried. If Zong Zhengqing who replaced him was too easy to talk, or too difficult to talk, it would be really troublesome.The last Zong Zhengqing was too talkative, which made it difficult for them to deal with.
In the end, Mo Jingchun gave them a great surprise in the past four years.
When things happen, this person has always been on top of himself, and I have never seen him retreat.
They don't need to worry about having no backing when they do things. As long as it is a reasonable thing, Mo Jingchun will never make them stage fright. Who doesn't love such a superior?
You Shaoqing glanced at the Minister of Rites, at least he was better than Huang Zhenghe.
If the minister of the Ministry of Rites hadn't been exaggerating... Emperor Zhengshi had only one eldest prince under his knees.
Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone made a move against the eldest prince, or said some cruel words like the eldest prince?
Only then did You Shaoqing become vigilant, and discussed with Lan Songbai carefully.
In two days, the group had already arrived outside the county. It was naturally impossible for hundreds of elite soldiers to enter the city, but about fifty of them went in and out with the First Prince.The members of Jiao's family went thirty miles outside the city gate to meet them in person, and the person who came was the next eldest son of Jiao's family.
The eldest prince should call him uncle.
His name is Jiao Yao.
The eldest prince seemed weak in the palace, but after leaving the palace, there were two older nuns and servants who followed him. He usually went in and out and only showed up on necessary occasions, so there was nothing wrong with it.
And the two officials acted according to the etiquette, very considerate and thoughtful.
Both sides are considered courteous, and it is ironic.
The First Prince would go to pay respects to the place where the coffin stopped every day, and Jiao Yao would be there every time. He could see the curiosity and nameless sadness in the First Prince's eyes.The eldest prince is still young and cannot yet feel the sadness of leaving, but seeing people coming and going in tears every day, he can somewhat empathize with him.
Every time the First Prince came in and out, he was not only followed by the palace maids, but even the officials followed him from time to time, as if they were extremely vigilant.
Jiao Yao sighed inwardly, but he also understood their caution.
The deposed concubine Jiao Shi is his younger sister.
Before entering the palace, Jiao Yao had persuaded his father that his sister was not suitable for entering the palace.
But I don't know what kind of exchange the late emperor had with Jiao Ming, it's already a foregone conclusion.
Until now, Jiao Yao didn't know if his father regretted it before he died, but he already knew exactly what Jiao Ming did and what he was going to do now.
He knelt before the coffin and sighed heavily.
Looking forward to a hundred years from now, the people of the tribe will not poke their backs and scold them, it is a blessing.
Before the eldest prince left, he glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling there, and then at the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was following him. Suddenly, he took small steps, walked to Jiao Yao's side, and hugged him on his feet. his neck, and then turned away.
Jiao Yao was slightly stunned, watching the back of the eldest prince leaving.
Just now when the First Prince left, he called him "Uncle" in a low voice.
Apart from going in and out with the First Prince every day, the Minister of Rites and You Shaoqing naturally also have entertainment.It's just that under such weird circumstances, they didn't show up at all except for the banquet they had to go to, and they stayed until the last day.
Wake up today, and then go to the funeral.
The Jiao family was extremely busy, but even so, there was no sign of panic. The people of the clan who came and went in a hurry were wearing plain clothes, which made the whole winter even more severe.
Originally, the eldest prince could not go with him, but perhaps these days made him realize something, and he offered to go together.
Since the First Prince wanted to move, those elite soldiers would naturally go with him.
Originally, the Jiao family wanted to act in a low-key manner, but he never wanted to be disturbed by these elite soldiers. It seemed that countless people came to see him off.
Sitting in the carriage, the First Prince looked at the people who followed up spontaneously outside, and said blankly, "Why are they doing this?"
It's freezing cold, no matter whether it's a carriage or riding a horse, you have to be extremely careful.
It is difficult for people to lift their feet when walking outside, but even so, there are quite a few people who come out.They followed the frame unhurriedly, and occasionally they could hear soft crying.Coupled with the heavy snow all over the sky, it seems that this coldness also reveals resentment, and it becomes more and more bone-chilling in the soft crying.
The mother said, "The Jiao family's influence is deeply rooted here, but I heard that they are honest and upright, and they are quite popular. Now that the eldest son has passed away, I feel sad."
She spoke calmly on the surface, but she was worried in her heart.
If people like this naturally gather their energy, they must win the hearts of the people.
Doing things for the people is a good thing, but if...
She looked outside, and there were some capable soldiers following the carriage frame. With them, she felt relieved.It's just that at this moment, a sense of panic rose in her heart for some reason, as if something was about to happen.
She didn't dare to underestimate the feeling of uneasiness, so she was informed to the two officials in the carriage behind her.
But until they arrived at the place of burial, it was peaceful and quiet.
The eldest prince insisted on getting off the carriage and following him in, but in the end it was the Minister of Rites who took the eldest prince to go in person.
And ten soldiers, no matter how many, it would be a shock.
You Shaoqing stood guard outside, looking at Jiao's cemetery.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is very good, but it is not extravagant, it is very low-key.The clansmen standing outside could see the solemnity and sadness, but they couldn't show any other emotions.
The faces of the few old people who were born in the palace around them were not good-looking. If the First Prince hadn't insisted on going in, it would be impossible for them to let the First Prince out of their sight right now.
It's just that this is the Jiao family's ancestral tomb after all, so it's not easy for them to force their way into it.
Jiao's name, even if they come from the palace, they can't be arbitrary.
You Shaoqing was a little impatient waiting outside, but he didn't show any expression on his face.
It's not that he doesn't have the slightest sympathy, it's just that he is concerned about the safety of the eldest prince, so naturally he can't separate his mind to think about other things. His eyes look from the front to the back, from the Jiao clan to the elite soldiers waiting outside, except for the Ministry of Rites In addition to the servant, the eldest prince was accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards.
Someone came out suddenly, and those Jiao clan members standing outside looked a little panicked, and then someone ran in.
You Shaoqing's face changed slightly, and he suddenly strode forward and said abruptly, "What happened?"
The Jiao clan member who was caught by him looked very young, turned his head and said in panic, "I don't know, I heard that something happened inside."
misfortune? !
You Shaoqing's face changed drastically, and when he was about to rush in, he saw Jiao Yao striding out with the eldest prince in his arms, a lot of blood was splashed on his body, and the pattering blood was still splashing down.
The eldest prince who was protected by him was a little dazed, but he didn't seem to be injured.
Surrounded by a dozen or so soldiers, there were also many members of the Jiao clan in plain clothes holding weapons, all of them were surrounded by grief and anger.
Jiao Yao personally protected the eldest prince outside, when the elite soldiers who had been stationed rushed forward.
You Shaoqing's face changed drastically, and he said sharply, "Jiao Yao, what are you doing?"
The eldest prince whispered in Jiao Yao's arms, "He protected me."
Except for the elite soldiers who followed Jiao Yao, a dozen or so people were sent out after a while. They looked big and thick, and they were all dressed in white shirts. As for their hands and feet, they were all tied up. Even his mouth was gagged.
It was just these people who suddenly became violent and almost hurt the First Prince.
It was Jiao Yao who blocked him for a while, and then used himself to protect the eldest prince, so he came out smoothly.
"Blocked it?" You Shaoqing looked at the servant of the Ministry of Rites with a strange expression on his face, but he heard something wrong from Jiao Yao's narration just now.
The servant of the Ministry of Rites also looked a bit embarrassed. He wiped his sweat and said, "These people all came in from the Jiao family, with the purpose of coming here for the eldest prince. But they, Jiao Yao, dare not hurt them. So Jiao Yao used himself as a meat shield to protect the eldest prince."
When such a thing happened in Jiao's cemetery, no matter whether it was the Jiao family or the people from the court, they were all furious.
After careful investigation, they discovered that these people had been eyeing the eldest prince from the very beginning, but because there were too many soldiers and horses coming and going, they couldn't do anything on the road.
The cemetery is solemn, if the First Prince is going to pay respects to Jiao's ancestral tomb, there will definitely not be so many people going in with him.It is indeed easier to start here than outside, but they have forgotten——
The eldest prince is also from the Jiao family.
Even though he has the name of the royal family, in Jiao Yao's heart, he is naturally his son.
He protects the eldest prince, but he is sincere.
And this group of thieves didn't know why, they didn't dare to attack the Jiao family rashly, so they were forcibly killed by them instead.
And when they did it, they wanted to catch one by surprise.
When the Jiao clan reacted, they wanted to move again, but they were forcibly suppressed by the clansmen in the ancestral grave, and they were all twisted out.
Jiao's interrogation overnight, together with the people from the court, finally found out that the results were indeed shocking.
Especially the Minister of Rites and You Shaoqing, their eyelids twitched wildly.
The general in charge of protection also felt palpitations.
When he learned that he was almost ambushed several times along the way, even You Shaoqing couldn't help cursing in his heart.
These thieves really don't give up!
Thanks to the sufficient manpower sent by His Majesty, otherwise we don't know what will happen on the way.
Although the First Prince was fine, he was still frightened.
When something like this happened in the Jiao family, there was a bit of confusion internally, especially how these people got in, and the ancestral tomb had to be cleaned up, but that's all for later.
After the dust settled, the leading general had already rushed the news to the capital.
However, before the news reached Beijing, Mo Jingchun already knew about it.
Task ten completed
Mo Jingchun, who was taking a bath, froze for a moment, then sank down again, letting the hot water flood his shoulders, "What happened?"
The weather is too cold, these days he almost has to take a shower before falling asleep on the bed.He doesn't like to use charcoal basins. Although the house has underfloor heating, it's still different when it's freezing cold and hot water.
Already all right
Mo Jingchun blew a few times, "The eldest prince's accident this time, who is related to it?" Speaking of this matter, there is still a lot of weirdness.
There are quite a few people who want the First Prince alive, and even more people who want him dead.
But among them, the aristocratic families probably haven't reached the point of hating them so much, only those who want to seize the throne... will hate the successor of Emperor Zhengshi.
In this way, King Qinghe is also somewhat possible.
It's just that now he is dragged on the battlefield by Mo Guang's life and death, so he shouldn't be free to do things.
...Wait, I can't tell.
Mo Jingchun suddenly thought that for King Qinghe, His Majesty had killed his only son, and Emperor Zhengshi had only one eldest prince...
A life for a life is fair.
you guessed right
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows strangely, "Since this is the case, it should be that the additional manpower was sent later to scare them away."
Otherwise, it would be most appropriate to attack on the road, not...
Mo Jingchun pinched his fingers, and now that the first prince is coming back soon, he made a sudden move, probably there is nothing he can do.
The eldest prince is safe and Mo Jingchun's mission has been completed, so he is naturally in a good mood.
In addition to these few days, Mohen came back.
His injuries have healed, but he is still unable to do heavy work.
Just as Mo Jingchun guessed before, Mohen didn't plan to get married this year, but postponed the time, planning to wait until the spring of next year.
When asked, Mohen said honestly that he himself hadn't recovered yet.
But in private, Mo Hen told Wei Yi the truth, "My parents told me to get married quickly, saying that I could have a good time, but I'm so good at being alone, I've already woken up, why should she bear such a reputation? ? Even if it is really useful, is it a good thing to be happy?"
Wei Yi smiled and said, "Lang Jun said the same thing."
The smile on Mohen's face became even stronger, as if his own thoughts had been affirmed.
Inside the house, after Mo Jingchun changed his clothes, he hung the clothes in his hand on the screen, and walked towards the outside, but before he reached the door, he heard the sound of arguing outside.
Mo Jingchun opened the door, and saw Mohen and Wei Yi standing in front.
The two of them didn't know what to say, and they looked flushed.
Mo Jingchun "What are you doing?"
Mohen jumped anxiously, "Lang Jun, you are talking about him, the younger ones have told me that I am fine, but he still refuses to let me do things."
Wei Yi glanced at Mohen's pale face, and sneered, "Is it just you who are sick and weak?"
He saluted Mo Jingchun, turned around and Shi Ranran led someone in to fetch water.
Ink marks?
Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "He's right. The doctor has told you to lie down for a while. If you don't listen, it's fine. Why do you want to be brave at this time?"
Mo Hen watched Zhang Li also go in, and then let him in embarrassingly
