Chapter 131: The Truth Comes Out
The carrier pigeon flew to Jiankang and stopped on a palm as white as white jade. Mo Chuan took the small roll of paper from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it, frowned slightly, called Mo Qi with a loud voice, and handed him the note in his hand.
After reading it, Mo Qi asked anxiously: "Palace Master, do we have to do what the Emperor Wei instructs?" ”
"What else else?" Mo Chuan replied coldly, "Don't forget, our Chaoying Palace has been able to stand tall in the rivers and lakes for decades, because of the power of the Wei royal family to support us behind, and now the new emperor of the Wei State Tuoba Tao firmly controls the rivers and lakes of the court and the wild." We are currently acting in the Shadow Palace, how can we not obey the emperor's orders? ”
Mo Chuan pondered for a moment and ordered: "Mo Qi, you go and work with Lu Huinan to prepare the detailed information of all the people in the Song Kingdom in our Chaoying Palace, and sort out the situation of those officials who were bribed and pulled into the water by us, the more detailed the better." ”
"Palace Master, that's the result of our painstaking management for several years, does the Palace Master really plan to give it up?" Mo Qi was a little unwilling.
Mo Chuan smiled and said slowly: "Now, the emperor's government and military affairs of the Southern Dynasty are controlled by Xu Xianzhi and others, so Liu Yilong can't eat well or sleep well, and he actually poisoned Ji Ling Zhuohua, and his heart can't be said to be ruthless. Now, Tuoba Tao ordered to provide the dark man of the eyeliner to the emperor of the Southern Dynasty in exchange for an antidote and bring Zhuohua back to Wei safely. We are now gone, and several years of business seem to be in vain, and the losses are huge. But Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing. These eyeliner dark people gave Liu Yilong, and gained his trust, and after overthrowing the ministers, he could enter the center of power. These people belong to Liu Yilong, and they are also from my Chaoying Palace. In the future, when the Murong Clan of the Shadow Palace wants to use them......"
Mo Qi suddenly realized: "My subordinates understand, so let's prepare." ”
Qiyun's body gradually felt like a day by day, and after being depressed for many days, he went to Tianlan Pavilion to edit books for a busy day. It wasn't until the middle of the moon that I returned to the Qilan Palace, walked to the inner room, and saw a person sitting on the windowsill. The white clothes are clean and dusty, sitting on their knees, looking at the moonlight, and looking leisurely.
Hearing Qiyun's footsteps, he turned around, it was Mo Chuan, Qiyun stepped forward to say hello: "I don't want the palace master to come in person, but the palace master has brought good news to Qiyun?" ”
Mo Chuan jumped off the windowsill, as light as a snowflake, standing in front of Qiyun, as cold as a glacier broken jade, and said to Qiyun: "Before, we made a deal with Liu Yilong, and he asked people to put an antidote in your diet. So, your body is gradually recovering. As long as you give this to him, he will give you the last medicine, and the poison in your body will be completely cured. ”
"Our Asakage Palace used this thing in exchange for your antidote." As he spoke, he took something out of his sleeve and opened it to reveal a fold. Qiyun saw that the fold was densely written with people's names, their official positions, hobbies, handles, etc., many of which were the confidants of Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang and other five powerful ministers.
Mo Chuan explained: "Some of these are my people, and some are the people I bought from the Shadow Palace, and they are all usable talents. Liu Yilong has these people, and it is just around the corner to bring down Xu Xianzhi and other powerful ministers. ”
Qiyun knew in his heart, and Shi Li said: "Thank you for the palace master's rescue." You have provided these lists and personnel to Yilong in exchange for my antidote, what conditions should I pay for this? The palace master may wish to say it explicitly. ”
"Conditions?" Mo Chuan was stunned. Qiyun said calmly: "Chaoying Palace does not only give benefits and does not ask for dividends. What's more, it also took a lot of effort on your part, how can you give it away easily? ”
Mo Chuan shook the folding fan lightly and said, "The county lord is a person who understands. You're right, I have to have a condition, that is, the county lord will do one thing for me. However, I haven't thought about this matter yet, and I'll tell you when I think about it. ”
Do you want to promise him? Qiyun frowned slightly, a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he had nothing, so what could he hold hostage? And his own poison has been cured, and there is already hope for life. Thinking of this, she said very simply: "Okay, palace master, I promise you." ”
"Zhuohua, I have been carefully investigating the death of King Luling during this time, and the truth has finally come out. Here's this. Mo Chuan said, unfolding a piece of cloth, on which were densely packed with words, and there were a few red fingerprints at the back.
What is it? Qiyun took it suspiciously, glanced at it, and looked back and forth several times with wide eyes before asking him: "Palace Master, what is said above is true?" ”
Mo Chuan bowed his head slightly: "Yin Xue was taken back to the Chaoying Palace by Mo Qi, but he refused to stay quietly, and shouted to Jiankang to try to rescue Liu Yizhen, the king of Luling in the Song Kingdom. I sent someone to inquire about her, and I found out that the king of Luling and Liu Yifu, the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, were assassinated on the same day. I noticed that there was something strange here, Xing Antai killed Liu Yifu in Jinchang, and Pan Sheng killed Liu Yizhen in Xin'an. So I had these two people taken, and under torture, I found out the truth.
It turned out that the great changes in the Song Kingdom happened under Liu Yilong's planning and control. Xu Xianzhi and the others are just pawns in his hands, and he uses you to deepen the dislike and resentment between Liu Yifu and Liu Yizhen. first used the power in Liu Yifu's hands to degrade the king of Luling, and then used the ministers' dissatisfaction with Liu Yifu and Liu Yizhen to get rid of them. Then, step by step, he stepped on the blood of his own brother and ascended to the throne of the emperor! ”
When Qiyun heard this, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he was in a daze, still in disbelief, and he was lost.
Mo Chuan continued: "Xing Antai and Pan Sheng, the two betrayers, are still locked up in the dungeon of my Chaoying Palace stronghold. If Zhuohua doesn't believe it, you can ask what happened. ”
"And that Kong Ningzi, who is also a vicious person, dared to use the matter of King Luling to blackmail Yin Xue, and caused her to lose her innocence, which is really an unforgivable crime. Before I leave the Song Kingdom, Kong Ningzi, he must die! Mo Chuan gritted his teeth and said, killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Qiyun asked in surprise: "The palace master has left the Song Kingdom?" ”
Mo Chuan nodded and said, "Well, I also brought a message, after you listen to it, you can choose to stay by yourself." Although the new emperor of Wei ordered me to take you back to Wei, if I let you go privately, he couldn't help me. Because, Tuoba Tao himself is already in trouble. I have received news from the Shadow Palace that the 60,000 cavalry of Rouran are deploying troops and secretly gathering closer to the clouds of the Wei State, and Pingcheng is in danger. This matter is not good for the Wei State, and it will also endanger our Chaoying Palace. Early tomorrow morning, I immediately rushed to the clouds. ”
"What?" When Qiyun heard this information, his heart shook and he jumped in shock.
Mo Chuan saw that Qiyun Yu's face was pale, and his tone was as cold as water: "Now, if Liu Yilong gets the secret person inside line of my Chaoying Palace, he only needs to cooperate with the outside, and the crisis will be resolved soon." At this time, the Emperor of Wei was in crisis, and when he newly ascended the throne, he encountered such a great disaster. How are you going to act? ”
"Rouran's 60,000 cavalry gathered in the clouds, endangering Pingcheng." Qiyun's mind was buzzing with this message. She pondered for a moment, and said with a straight face as if she had made up her mind: "Palace Master, I will go to Wei State with you." I still have something to say to Yilong, and after I finish speaking, I will no longer have anything to do with the Song Kingdom. Come and meet you tomorrow morning, and ask the palace master to wait for me by the river outside the city. ”
Mo Chuan took a deep look at her, said "yes" expressionlessly, and turned to leave.
