When he returned to the Jade Immortal Palace, Tian'er came to report that the emperor had been waiting for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mo Yu then remembered that in the morning, the little eunuch of the Qianwen Palace came over to pass the word, saying that the emperor would come over for lunch at noon, and he had forgotten about it when he chatted with Ji Feicui just now.

When I entered the Jade Immortal Palace, I saw the emperor sitting in the main hall, holding her unfinished scripture in his hand. Ma Gonggong and Xiang Rong were standing aside and waiting.

"Why did the emperor come so early?"

The emperor put down the book, felt the cold air she brought when she first came in, took her hand and shook it, frowned and said, "Your hands are so cold, you don't have more clothes when you go out?" ”

"People who practice martial arts are not so squeamish." Mo Yu naturally withdrew his hand, turned his head to Xiang Rong and said, "Since the emperor is here, go and tell the kitchen to set up the meal!" ”

Xiang Rong said "yes" and went down. Mo Yu sat down in front of him, reached out and poured a cup of tea, and heard him say: "In the past two years, you have liked to read scriptures very much. ”

Mo Yu took a sip of tea and said, "It's just to pass the time." She reads the scriptures mainly to calm her heart and let her look at everything around her with a pure heart.

"I heard that you went to Lanyue Palace just now, this is unusual, you two sisters rarely move."

"She was in a bad mood, but her personal palace maid was dedicated and begged me to see her. It's not a big deal, it's just sleepiness in the spring. ”

The emperor has another explanation, Concubine Xian is in a bad mood, probably because he hasn't been to see her! "Since I returned to Beijing, I have been very busy, and I have not had time to visit him. When I'm done, I'll go talk to her. ”

Mo Yu was just silent, according to what he said, Ji Jade can wait, I'm afraid that in June and July, the emperor will not be free.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the temple gate. Xiang Rong led the palace maid and eunuch of the Jade Immortal Palace, brought the meal in, and placed them on the table in front of the two of them one by one. Moyu's food has always been simple, and it is usually just four dishes and one soup. It's just that the emperor is coming over today, so a full table has been prepared, and Moyu only feels wasted, and the two of them can't finish eating.

As soon as the dishes were set up, and he wanted to prepare the cloth dishes with Ma Gonggong fairly, the emperor suddenly said: "Seeing these dishes reminds me of those people who starved to death without food." ”

Mo Yu held the spoon in his hand for a moment, and seemed to have guessed what he was going to say next. She didn't answer, just wanted to hear what he would say next. But he only said this, and only said, "Let's eat!" "There was no more follow-up.

----------------------------

After the meal, he did not rush to leave, but moved the location to the back garden, and let people set up a chessboard, and the two played against each other.

He sat opposite her and said lightly: "I haven't played chess with you for a long time, I don't know if your chess skills have improved?" ”

Mo Yu took the lead in dropping white on the chessboard and said, "My chess skills are not so good, and I haven't played for half a year." ”

"Smack." The sunspots fell one after another, and he said: "I haven't been down for a long time, Sikong is very busy, Chen Xuan is also gone, and the night sky is gone." When it came to the night sky, he also deliberately paid attention to the person opposite to see how she reacted.

"If the emperor wants to play chess, he can find any person. Su Wen Zhang Jieyu is endowed with poetry and songs, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the emperor let her often accompany the king, how can she not find someone to play chess? ”

At first glance, this sounds like a woman's jealousy of another woman, but the emperor knows very well in his heart that what Moyu wants to express is definitely not what he means. When he was talking about the night sky just now, her expression did not change except for the slightly slower speed of the child. Is it true that she has no feelings for Yetian anymore, or is she hiding it too well?

He no longer wanted to continue the subject, but changed the subject, and said, "Your garden is indeed a little desolate, and it does not feel like spring at all. Another day, I asked people to move some flowers, which are also pleasing to the eye. ”

Mo Yu insisted: "No, that's fine." Her favorite cuckoo has already been plucked. The shed that was built before has already been demolished, leaving no traces.

"I see you're not in a good mood either, if you feel bored, you can find Sikong and his wife to chat, maybe you're in a better mood."

"Forget it, Mrs. Sikong is pregnant with Liujia, and Sikong has to take care of her. Besides, Sikong can't always run to me, after all, people are terrible. "If one day there is another gossip between her and Sikong, then does she still have a life? Sikong will not be as carefree as the night sky, and he will die.

On the chessboard, I don't know if the emperor deliberately let it or if Moyu's chess skills are indeed inferior to him, the black and white chess pieces are equal, and I can't tell who wins and who loses.

He looked at her face, as if she was a little thinner than before. Until now, she hasn't asked him about the child, has she forgotten? Or has he lost faith in him, thinking that the child can't be found? But she didn't ask, and he pretended to be stupid and didn't say it, because it was a fact that the child didn't find it.

But he also knew that the longer this matter dragged on, the slimmer the hope of finding it. If you are a person who wants to be unfavorable to the child, I am afraid that the child is already unlucky at this moment. If the child is still alive, more than half a year has passed, and I don't know what it has become, and the chance of finding it is getting smaller and smaller, and I am afraid that even if I see it, I don't know it. Just a birthmark is too little information.

"Your Majesty, it's your turn."

The emperor came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze from staring at her. Twist the chess pieces, look at the movements and openings on the board, and finally land somewhere. said: "Sikong is busy with scientific research now, and he really doesn't have time. Mo Yu, what questions do you think I should have in this year's scientific examination? ”

Mo Yu's hand on the chessboard paused, looked up at the hidden eyes on the other side, and said, "I'm just a concubine, I don't care about the government." ”

"I just want to hear your opinion, you don't have to think too much."

He had already tried too much today, and asked her not to think too much. Mo Yu sneered in his heart, withdrew his hand, picked up the teacup on the side, turned his head to Biyue behind him and said, "The tea is cold, you go and make a pot again." ”

"Yes, sissy." Biyue took the teapot and retreated, Niangniang was protecting her and asking her not to listen to things she shouldn't have heard.

Seeing that she had taken away her palace people, the emperor also knew her intentions, and continued: "I want to give them a question about the current situation, I want to test it, who dares to tell the truth about them, students?" ”

"The emperor is the king of a country, and the talents selected are naturally people who dare to speak out, be loyal to the monarch and love the country."

"Now the court is chaotic, and most of the power is in the hands of the big families. Their protégés are vast and powerful, and if I want to expand the Zhou Kingdom, let the people of the Zhou Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate, they are a big obstacle. ”

It was Moyu's turn to fall, but she didn't fall for a long time, but put the chess pieces into the box. Said: "This chess game is played here!" Your Majesty, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest first. ”

"You don't have to run away."

Mo Yu wanted to get up, but after he left this sentence, he could only continue to carry it, like sitting on pins and needles. He continued, "I know you're smart, and you must have a good idea. Moyu, you are also one of the people of the Zhou Kingdom, and you also know about the Tianjiang Dam. I don't want to spend money on it every year, but I repeat this disaster every year. Moyu, before you entered the palace, you traveled to a lot of places, and I'm afraid you have seen the scenes of starving wives and separating everywhere, are you really indifferent? ”

Every time she goes out in that kind of scene, she will see it once. Yetian once told her that the corruption of the Zhou State has existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China. If this corrupt wind is not resolved, the Zhou State, which has just settled down, will not be able to withstand a few years of tossing. Mo Yu clutched the skirt on her knees tightly, and remembered what Ye Tian said: If you talk about political achievements, although Chai Rong is not an emperor through the ages, he can compare to Liu Bang.

"Your Majesty, do you know why I like to read scriptures?" Without hearing his answer, Mo Yu continued: "Because the scriptures can make people's hearts as calm as water. ”

"So now, is your heart really as still as water?"

"What does the emperor think?"

"I promise you that only those who commit crimes will be sentenced, and as for the other innocent people of the Ji family, they will be expelled from Tokyo." This is his, the last concession.

Mo Yu closed her eyes in despair, she shrank in this Jade Immortal Palace without arguing, in order to seek peace. But it was not the concubines in the harem who did not let her be at peace, but the supreme ruler of the Zhou country. This palace is his palace, she is just his woman, as long as he doesn't let anyone be at peace, who dares to be at peace. "What the emperor knows, what I ask for, has never been these."

"I know, but Moyu, your heart is kind, whether it is the Ji family or other people, you can't bear to let them sacrifice in vain, otherwise you won't often go to the library to read history books, see the governance of the country, and look at the governance."

It turns out that he actually "cares" about her so far, what an irony! "The emperor actually has a countermeasure, so why bother to ask me? Don't you think it's too much? ”

"I said, I just want to hear your opinion."

"Your Majesty, you are a generation of emperors, and you came to ask a concubine for an opinion, don't you think it's inappropriate to ask for an opinion that involves court affairs?" She just euphemistically said something inappropriate, but in fact, what she wanted to say was faceless, or shameful.

The emperor stood up, looked at the gloom of the garden in the spring, and said: "I have never been prejudiced against you, regardless of whether you are a woman, I appreciate your wisdom, your courage, and your means. You made a move to let me take back the military power in Fan Ai's hands, raised military salaries, and dared to break into the Huaiyang Mansion alone to relieve the siege of Luzhou. Moyu, I have to admit that I sometimes feel that your ability is better than mine, and if you want, you can be the second Heavenly Great Sage Empress. ”

"Hehe, the emperor really looks up to me." Who knows that one day when the birds are gone, the matter of Liang Gongzang will happen to him.

He turned around, walked to Mo Yu and squatted down, held her cold hand, and said, "Mo Yu, even if it's not for the others, don't you think about our children?" ”

Mo Yu's unwavering eyes finally had a little throbbing, "What does this have to do with the child?" ”

"Moyu, you are so smart, in fact, you know in your own heart that the child has not been found yet, and the chance of finding it again in the future will become smaller and smaller. Suppose that our children are just like those ordinary people, displaced and precarious, how can you bear it? Even if we find him one day, do we want to leave him with a stormy country? ”

Mo Yu annotated him for a long time before he asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, have you given up on him?" "If he gives up looking for the child, then the child will be safer.

He shook his head and said, "I will never give up on him, even if he does not come back on the day of death, I will fight to find him with my last breath." ”

If he was really Yexue's father, she would definitely be happy to hear this, but that's not the case! His influence is so wide, if one day, Yexue is found by him, then Yetian's fake death, I'm afraid it will be daylight. How many people will be implicated at that time, he, Yetian and the child will naturally die, and it will also affect the Sikong family, the Ji family, the Wang family, and the Zhulian Nine Clans, and the blood will flow like a river.

There are only some bamboos and rocks in this back garden, and some potted plants of flowers and plants that will never bloom. Mo Yu thought to herself, maybe she should move some roses and peonies to this back garden, this is what this palace should have.

"The emperor is right, most of the power and positions above the court are now in the hands, such as the hands of the family headed by the Wang family, as well as the Ji family, the Yuan family, the Zhang family, and so on. There are many of their protégés, all over the Zhou Kingdom, ranging from the first rank of the court to the state and county officials. Once the emperor implements a new policy that endangers the power of the family, more than half of the officials in the country will oppose it, and it will naturally be difficult to implement the policy. ”

The emperor stood up, sat down, and said, "That's right, since I ascended the throne, I have tried to change this situation, but I can't do anything. Some of the state and town officials punished before did not seem to have played a big role. ”

"The emperor has no worries about the military now, the army in Fan Ai's hands is now in your hands, and the king of Wei is a loyal person, so in terms of the military, you are very relieved."

"Not long after the founding of the Zhou State, after I ascended the throne, the first thing was naturally to take back the military power."

"In fact, in the matter of purging the government, the emperor can use a plan in the military book."

"Which one?"

Mo Yu turned his head to look at him and said, "Capture the thief and capture the king first." The emperor is in the game, so naturally he can't see through this solution at once. The family is like a centipede, with many legs, and even if the emperor interrupts one or two of them, it will not affect it to continue crawling. Therefore, the emperor's punishment of individual local officials not only takes a long time, but also cannot shake their roots. ”

The emperor was also stunned and said, "You mean to say that it directly interrupted its body?" ”

Mo Yu nodded and said, "It's not just about interrupting his body, it's about hitting him directly on the head with one blow." Just like in a war, in a battle, if the enemy's general dies, the soldiers below will definitely flee in all directions and have no intention of fighting again, and we can take advantage of the chaos before they regroup and annihilate them in one fell swoop. What's more, when the general died, most of the soldiers would only choose to flee, and they didn't even need to clean up. ”

"Are you saying that directly dealing with the supreme rulers of these clans, as long as these supreme rulers are gone, they will be like a plate of scattered sand?"

Mo Yu shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. If something happens to the people in Beijing, the local officials will definitely write to protect it, and the emperor will be very passive at that time. Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee that these officials will not find a new backer, or nominate a backer. Therefore, the emperor must act quickly and accurately, and solve them before the local officials receive the news and send them. In addition, among those guests, some are also Qingliu and are also experts in being officials, and the emperor can also give some corresponding sweetness, so that they can submit to the emperor. I think that the emperor's backer should be much stronger than those backers of the first and second grades. ”

"However, these officials in Beijing are all deeply hidden, and many things are not handled by them, even if they want to catch them, there is no evidence!"

Mo Yu secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't the emperor very good at designing such things?" As long as those people participate in it even a little bit, plus a few "confessions" from their hands, it will only be a matter of death. "In addition, there are indeed a lot of redundant personnel in the DPRK, and the emperor was right to reduce the number of personnel at the beginning, and some positions that should be removed will be removed, and those that should be merged will be merged. While reducing the expenses of the imperial court, it can also enhance the efficiency of work. There are too many people and too many positions, so you need to review it here, and you need to put a handprint there, which is a waste of time. ”

The emperor joked: "I think you are also very good at design, or ......"

Mo Yu interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, I still want to live for a few more years." ”

There are many people in the palace, and once she participates in it, no matter how well she hides, she may be caught. Moreover, the front dynasty and the harem are always inseparable, and she really doesn't want to get involved in those harem conspiracies that you fight for. All she is asking for now is peace and prayer for her children.

There is also a point, albeit self-deception. But there was always a little thought in her heart, she still believed in Yetian, and believed that she really wanted to take her out of the palace.

If Ye Tian is really the one who truly loves her, she is willing to do everything that makes him happy, whether it is fate or calamity.

It wasn't until Shen Shi that Moyu and his conversation ended.

With the warm spring breeze and warm sunshine in the afternoon, when the emperor walked out of the Jade Immortal Palace, he couldn't help but glance back at the ink jade who was still watching him at the door of the store, and looked up at the three gilded characters of "Jade Immortal Palace".

"In my life, my career as a horseman, in the military, I don't lose to anyone. But in terms of governing the country, I have to admit that I am not as good as her. ”

Ma Gonggong behind him smiled: "Your Majesty, the concubine is very smart. "He was there just now, but he could hear it clearly.

"Fortunately, she and the Ji family are not in the same camp." He turned his head, and there was a chill in his eagle-like eyes. "No one is allowed to touch this person." (To be continued.) )
