The water droplets on the eaves fell in strings and smashed on the white jade steps, splashing countless small splashes. Li Zongzhi stood quietly outside the Xuancheng Palace, looking at the vast rain curtain and was silent, Zong Ran tiptoed with an umbrella and carefully covered his body for him, but the rain was too heavy, and he finally couldn't take care of it, and wanted to speak, but the person's current face made him dare not say more.

"You say...... Is there anything in this world that the right cannot be exchanged? Li Zongzhi suddenly asked, but without waiting for Zongran to answer, he said again: "Tell you, you won't understand." ”

"Is the emperor still unhappy about the young general's private entry into the Tai Hospital?" Zong Ran asked extremely carefully, he followed the emperor that day, and after he went, the emperor said that he would wait for someone, but the person who came was the young general Mo Han, and the words that the emperor said after seeing him made others really frightened.

"Actually, I knew that he would definitely go, but I was lucky, thinking that he would not be willing to take the crime of bullying the king for the sake of Meng Baiyan, but I still saw him there, and I was ...... I really hate it, I can't ......" Li Zongzhi didn't say any more, but anger piled up on his face, and it took a long time before he slowly calmed down.

"Forgive the minions for their courage. Zong Ran brought the umbrella a little closer, bowed his head and said: "Actually, the emperor has already decided to give the ghost flower to the little marquis, why bother to make yourself unhappy, the young general has been imprisoned for a few days, the emperor's smiling face has not been opened, and the slave is very uneasy." The words were considered and considered in my heart, and finally I couldn't help but say them. What Zong Ran didn't understand was that since the emperor had decided to let Bai Ze take the Netherflower to Jianzhou and give it to the little marquis after careful consideration that night, why didn't he explain it to Mo Han in advance, instead of letting him enter the Tai Hospital to steal it as a last resort.

"I just want to see his loyalty, to see who he will choose between me and Meng Baiyan. ”

Zong Ran was shocked, and suddenly raised his head and said, "The emperor is suspicious of the young general's loyalty to the king?

Mo Han has been imprisoned in the Jianqiu Pavilion for a few days, and the emperor didn't ask every day, so he hung him there, and the guards outside the gate were all replaced by the guards of the inner pavilion, these days, people inside and outside the palace were panicked, except for the emperor and himself, no one knew what the young general had done, and no one dared to intercede for him.

"The Mo family has been loyal to the monarch since the beginning of the dynasty, General Mo Feng has been fighting horses all his life, although Mo Han is uninhibited, but he has never overstepped, do you still remember when Bai Yan came back from Yunwu Villa, he told me very firmly that when Mo Han must return to the court, what I asked, and what he answered. ”

Zong Ran lowered his head and recalled, "At that time, the emperor asked the little marquis if the young general had asked him to make a heavy promise when he returned to the court, and the little marquis said that there was no promise, let alone any conditions. ”

Li Zongzhi glanced at him with deep meaning, and said: "Bai Yan sent an envoy to Dazheng as an envoy to kill Xiao Junmo, the king of Anyi, in Broken String Valley, who went to Dajin to reinforce him privately?"

"Yes...... The young general ......" Zong Ran replied, but a cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.

"General Zhao Kuo was killed in Dali Temple, Xiangguo led people to block Bai Yan on the spot, hit his head with a stick and tried to kill him, who did not hesitate to save his life with 130,000 imperial forest troops and Mo family army. ”

There was no need to answer, Zong Ran already knew what the emperor meant.

"Not to mention that he privately mobilized the Imperial Forest Army to escort Leng Gongzi out of the Eastern Capital, but was pierced through the heart by Wu Feiyun with an arrow, if it wasn't for Mo Han and people arriving and forcing Wu Feiyun back, he would probably have been killed a long time ago. After Li Zongzhi finished speaking, he took a deep breath and raised his head: "I sometimes think that this qiē seems to be predestined in the dark, I ordered Bai Yan to enter Beijing in order to regain the imperial power from the hands of the military minister, and then forced him to step into the journey in order to consolidate his own power, this way, he gathered so many like-minded brothers who could live with him, and I, except for using the imperial power to restrain them, I have nothing." ”

"The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, and the courtiers are the courtiers, how can he compare with you. ”

"Oh?" Li Zongzhi listened to Zong Ran's words, and suddenly showed a mocking smile: "If this is the case, I will not be trampled under the feet of Wu Fanzhong for so many years. ”

Zong Ran bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything more, but Li Zongzhi raised his finger after standing for a while, and said, "Go, follow me to the Qianqiu Pavilion." ”

"Yes. Zong Ran responded, and when he saw him finish speaking, he left, and hurriedly held an umbrella in one hand while turning back to the little eunuchs behind him and said, "Don't keep up yet." ”

Li Zongzhi walked quickly, as if he couldn't wait to see the man. In fact, he is still glad in his heart, because since he arrested Mo Han in the Tai Hospital that day, Mo Han has not confessed a word, in Li Zongzhi's opinion, he doesn't say it, it's far better than what he says, because many times many things will become darker and darker.

Mo Han sat at the table and copied the scrolls on the table, he had been locked up here for a few days, and it was still the palace maid Luluo who came and went to deliver water and food, and every time Luluo came in, he saw Mo Han copying the scrolls silently, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, and he didn't understand why he could still be so calm.

"The slave maid sent breakfast, today is purple potato lily white fungus soup, and a few snacks, see that the pastries in the imperial dining room are well done, the slave and maid specially took the lotus cake, and the general came to eat it while it was hot. The green pothos put the contents of the food box on the table in the same way, Mo Han put the pen down, smiled slightly, and said: "The smell is so fragrant, it really makes people appetite." ”

"Wait, the general's hands are stained with ink. Luluo smiled and went to the dresser to dip the handkerchief in water, and then handed it to Mo Han: "The general wipes his hands." ”

"Thank you. Mo Han took the handkerchief and wiped the ink marks from his fingertips, and then sat back at the table. There were porridge and snacks on the table, faintly exuding fragrance, and he saw that he had a smile between his eyebrows, and praised: "Good fragrant porridge, the heat is just right, and the people who want to make porridge are extremely attentive." ”

The green pothos smiled on the side, reached out to clean up the pen and ink on the table, and said: "I really followed you, I can't hide anything from you, this porridge Rong Bo went to boil it early in the morning, and it took me a long time before I replaced the porridge in the imperial dining room and sent it to the general." ”

Mo Han knew between his eyebrows, knowing that he had been imprisoned for a few days, the Imperial Forest Army must have been uneasy, Rong Bo's move was to comfort himself, and he had to wait patiently, so he could not live up to his heart.

"It's also interesting to say, this Jianqiu Pavilion used to be cold and inconspicuous, but since the last time the little marquis was locked up here by the emperor, it has become a lively place, first the little marquis, and now the general, this one has come one by one, and I don't know what kind of trouble it is. After the words came out, the green pothos realized her casualness, and hurriedly stuck out her tongue and quietly glanced at Mo Han, seeing that Mo Han was still drinking porridge with her head down, and she was not embarrassed, she reached out and patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief.

After turning his eyes, he couldn't help but look over again, and the green pothos looked at Mo Han's side face, and his heart jumped violently, and then he was a little stupid.

Speaking of which General Mo has been famous for a long time, he has only heard his name and has not seen him before, and he always thought that the general with great military achievements must be a man of five big and three thick, speaking like a bell, walking in the wind and wind, until he returned to the court two years ago, entered the palace to take over the position of the leader of the little marquis royal forest army, and many people really saw his true face.

I still remember very clearly, when he walked through the aisle of the palace wall in a military uniform, I don't know how many palace maids he charmed, how many servants he looked stupid, because people who had never seen him were frightened by his military exploits, and they never thought that the famous young general was such a handsome man, especially those phoenix eyes, which were obviously extremely cold, but they always made people feel inexplicably enchanting.

"The emperor has arrived-" The guards at the door knelt on the ground with the sound of the transmission, Mo Han was holding the porridge bowl, and when he heard the sound, he put it down, and when he turned around, he saw that Li Zongzhi had arrived at the door, and he was about to kneel down with his hands in his hands, but Li Zongzhi had already stepped into the house and said, "That's it, continue to eat you." ”

Hearing this, Mo Han bowed his head and said, "The emperor is here, how dare the ministers make a mistake." ”

Li Zongzhi walked to the table and looked at the food on the table, suddenly smiled, and said, "After being locked up for so many days, it seems that I have gained some weight." After he finished speaking, he saw the paper roll that the pothos had just arranged, so he reached out and opened it to take a closer look.

"A qiē sentient beings do not see the beginning and the end. One qiē sentient beings do not see life. There is no life or death yet. I didn't know that there were still Buddhist scriptures hidden in this Jianqiu Pavilion. Li Zongzhi went to look through Mo Han's copy as he spoke, Mo Han smiled slightly, and said, "It's just to pass the time." ”

"If a bodhisattva is a dweller, he is compassionate and compassionate. No jealousy, no slackness. No hatred, no malice. Don't be evil. After Li Zongzhi finished reading, he suddenly threw away the paper scroll, turned to look at Mo Han, and said meaningfully: "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

Mo Han glanced back at him, bowed his hand, and lowered his head: "Minister, there is nothing to say." ”

"Okay, if you don't have anything to say, I'll say it. Li Zongzhi turned around and sat down beside the soft couch, then leaned over and stretched out his hand to support his cheek: "Bai Ze is gone." ”

Mo Han still didn't look up, but his body shook significantly.

Li Zongzhi squinted at him, and continued: "The Netherworld Flower in the palace, I have already asked the Imperial Doctor to choose the best one for him to take to Jianzhou City. ”

Mo Han's eyes finally lifted and looked at Li Zongzhi.

"The reason why I want to lock you up for a few days is not because I am angry that you entered the Tai Hospital to steal the Nether Flower, but because the relationship between our monarchs and ministers is ......" Li Zongzhi paused, and slowly and coldly spit out the remaining sentences: "It's not as good as the brotherhood between you and Meng Baiyan!"

As soon as such straightforward words came out, Mo Han couldn't hold it anymore, his face changed because of Li Zongzhi's words, and his heart was even more mixed, not a taste. It is undeniable that at that time, he really couldn't ignore the brotherhood with Bai Yan, so he made a desperate bet to fight for a chance to survive for Flawless, for his brother, he had a clear conscience, but as a courtier, he still wanted to help him when he knew that Flawless was Leng Gongzi, which was really disrespectful to the emperor.

"The minister knows the crime, the emperor wants to kill and punish, and the minister will never spit out half a word!" He spoke earnestly, without the slightest intention of shirking, Li Zongzhi looked at him silently, and after a while, he stood up and said: "Since I have already given him the flowers, why bother with you, but there is one thing that will never change, that is, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the courtier can never be above the king, General Mo, have you heard clearly, you understand!" The words were slow, but there was a kind of solemnity, obviously warning the people in front of them.

Mo Han lowered his eyes lightly, arched his eyebrows, and responded in a deep voice: "Minister, obey the order!"
