Chapter 524: The Plan Falls Through
After Zhao Wenang left, Mo Yuan sat on the stool and thought about what happened during this time, and couldn't help but ponder.
He felt that he had never been so aggrieved as he was now, since Li Yuqing came to the capital, he had a lot of troubles, he didn't know her relationship with Mo Xuan before, and he still wanted to win her over, so he showed mercy to her subordinates everywhere, and now he knew that there was no possibility, and he wanted to attack her, but at this time, Mo Xuan protected her too well, so that he had no chance to start.
And what he didn't expect was that when he was preparing to rebel and recruit troops, he accidentally learned that Li Yuqing had been doing this a long time ago, which made him very uneasy, because with his financial resources, he couldn't fight with Li Yuqing at all, could it be that he watched that the plan that had been planned for so long was destroyed by Li Yuqing, no, he was unwilling, who else could help him now, and suddenly he thought of someone.
Mo Yuan was overjoyed, he knew that at this critical juncture, maybe only this person could help him turn the tables, thinking of this, he immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it out.
After doing this, he let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at the front and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Mo Xuan, the debt should be repaid."
No one knew what Mo Yuan meant by this, and there was no way to find out if it was related to the letter he wrote.
Besides, the emperor who left from the palace of the protector general, thought that after tomorrow, everything would fall to the dust, and he was in a good mood along the way, but the good mood only existed outside the palace.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, the emperor couldn't help but think in his heart, "Could it be that something happened during the time he left", and after thinking about it, he asked at ease, "Xiaoyuanzi, you came here in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" ”
The eunuch Xiao Yuanzi heard the emperor say this, and hurriedly replied, "The emperor has a big incident, and the guards who have just patrolled the prison have come to report that a thief broke into the prison and killed the jailer and Zhang Shucheng."
"What? you say it again," the emperor asked subconsciously after hearing this.
Xiao Yuanzi was almost frightened and cried by the emperor like this, looked at the emperor pitifully, and honestly said again, "Zhang, Zhang Shucheng was killed in the prison." ”
"Who did it? ”
Xiao Yuanzi shook his head after hearing this, "The guards on patrol said that the person was already dead when he arrived, and no suspicious characters were found. ”
The emperor couldn't get angry after hearing this, because he knew that Zhang Shucheng's death must have something to do with Mo Yuan.
He always knew that Mo Yuan had placed a lot of people in the palace, and he thought that he was just some inconspicuous people who passed on news, but he didn't expect that the people who were installed had such great ability, and they could freely enter and leave the prison to kill people without being discovered by others, thinking of the previous incident of his own poisoning, the emperor suddenly felt that maybe one day he was not careful, and he might be killed by the people installed by Mo Yuan unknowingly.
Thinking of this, the emperor immediately said to Xiao Yuanzi, "You go and bring me the chief of the guard, and tell them that I am waiting for them in the imperial study, and I have something important to say." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanzi immediately ran to find the chief of the guard, and the emperor took the great eunuch Li Gonggong, who went out of the palace with him, to the imperial study.
Originally, the emperor wanted to use the letter in his hand and Zhang Shucheng as a witness to bring down Mo Yuan, but now that Zhang Shucheng is dead, the letter in his hand has become less credible, and naturally it will not cause much harm to Mo Yuan.
Not long after the emperor and Gonggong Li returned to the imperial study, the palace guards were all called over, and the emperor saw that they had all arrived, so he said, "You must know what happened in the prison today, and I can tell you for sure that the murderer is in the palace, give you three days, no matter how you investigate." You must find the murderer for me, and if you can't find it, you will come to see him."
The captains of the guards were frightened by the emperor's words, and their legs trembled, they felt that the emperor was embarrassing them, and there was no clue about the matter of the prison, and it was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to give them three days to find the murderer, but although they felt that they couldn't do it, they didn't dare to resist the order, so they took it hard, and then went back, and each launched a carpet investigation and inquiry.
Because of the killing of Zhang Shucheng, the emperor was not in the mood to go to court the next day, and after Gonggong Li read out the book of Qi and retired from the court, seeing that no one made a sound, the emperor just wanted to leave, and Mo Yuan stood up over there.
Seeing Mo Yuan stand up, the emperor couldn't help frowning, Mo Yuan pretended not to see it when he saw it, and said with a smile, "Father, I heard that yesterday the two generals brought back Zhang Shucheng, who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, this person used his own selfishness, and he harmed many soldiers at the border pass in vain, and the crime is unforgivable, when do you plan to deal with him."
Mo Yuan knew that Zhang Shucheng was dead, and he specifically said this, making it clear that he wanted to be angry with the emperor, although the emperor understood his thoughts, but he was still angry when he said this.
wanted to say that he instructed Zhang Shucheng to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and then he was afraid of being exposed, so he sent someone to kill Zhang Shucheng, but there was no basis for such a statement, which would make the ministers of the court think that he deliberately made things difficult for Mo Yuan.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help it, but since Mo Yuan mentioned it, why did he have to give an explanation to the minister, so although he was unwilling, he still said, "Yesterday, the two generals Li Wenbo and Li Wenxun did bring the criminal Zhang Shucheng back to Beijing, and I put him in prison, but I didn't expect that I had something to do yesterday and went out of the palace, and when I came back, I learned that Zhang Shucheng was killed during the time I was gone." ”
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, there was a buzzing discussion below, most of which was about who killed Zhang Shucheng.
Mo Yuan listened to the discussion of the surrounding ministers, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer, and then ignored everyone, looked at the emperor and pretended to regret and said again, "It's a pity to be killed, but I can find out who did it." ”
The emperor looked at Mo Yuan below, knowing that he was disgusting himself, but he couldn't do anything to him, so he could only remind everyone that he was unusual.
"The third prince is quite concerned about this matter, and I don't know for what reason. ”
"The father said with a smile, no matter what the son said, he is also the third prince of the Xia Kingdom, so he naturally cares more. ”
When the emperor heard Mo Yuan say this, he laughed angrily and said, "If only you can remember your identity, don't do something that hurts others and yourself."
"What my father reminded me is that my sons will definitely not"
When the emperor heard Mo Yuan say this, he glanced at him, and then ignored him, and the early dynasty ended in a word from the ministers, and a word from me.
Missed the opportunity to bring down Mo Yuan in one fell swoop, although everyone was very unwilling, but it was only possible to do so in a short time, and the top priority was to quickly recruit troops to deal with Mo Yuan's attack at any time.
