Chapter 366: Old Things When I Was Young, I Suddenly Visited
Emperor Qiyang asked Gonggong Xu to bring a stool and let Mo Yao sit down and talk. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mo Yao knew that this was his happy reaction, so his expression was more respectful and full of rules.
"You don't have to be so restrained in front of me, where is the willfulness in front of the imperial sister." Emperor Qiyang did not rush to get down to business, but instead gossiped with Mo Yao.
Mo Yao's face was slightly confused, "The imperial brother has promoted the younger brother, and the imperial sister does not dislike the stupidity of the younger brother, and coaxes the imperial sister to be happy." ”
Emperor Qiyang smiled again and again: "Yes, the imperial sister used to spoil you, and when she got married, she took the hand of the queen mother and asked the queen mother to take care of you, I was a little jealous at that time, but who made you still a small group at that time, I was reluctant to bully you, and even gave you what I was reluctant to eat!" ”
Mo Yao also seemed to remember that past, and smiled more and more gently, "It's all the royal brother and the imperial sister who pity the courtiers, and the courtiers all remember it, and they dare not forget the queen mother and the imperial brother, and the royal sister's nurturing grace." ”
Emperor Qiyang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The queen mother was still talking yesterday, saying that you must have gone to play in Beizhuang again, who knew that you had done such a dangerous thing, and when the queen mother knew, you would suffer." ”
Mo Yao hurriedly told him, "The imperial brother can keep it secret for me, you know that the courtier's brother's martial arts are not good, at most he can protect himself, if it is not for the secret guard sent by the imperial brother, where would he dare to do such a dangerous thing, if this matter is known to the queen mother, the minister's brother is small, and the anxiety is big!" ”
Emperor Qiyang stretched out his hand and pointed at him, "I always lied to the queen mother for you, and the queen mother almost didn't believe what I said." ”
Mo Yao smiled, "Does the imperial brother love his brother?" ”
His appearance inevitably reminds Emperor Qiyang of what happened when he was a child, at that time, Mo Yao's small group was sent to the Empress Dowager's palace to raise, the emperor was not a prince at that time, he also liked this little brother very much, they also have a real brotherhood, after he ascended the throne, there was only one brother left by his side, Mo Yao, and his feelings for him were very complicated.
Sometimes, he wants to love him simply as a younger brother, just like when he was a child, but many times, as a monarch, he has to guard against the people around him, for fear that he will be disobedient, so he refuses to use him again.
For so many years, Mo Yao has never complained at all, and he is an idle prince with peace of mind, and Emperor Qiyang has some regrets in his heart, he knows that this younger brother has been smart since he was a child, and he is a rare auxiliary political talent, but he can't be reused, and this year, he will hand over the shipping matter to him, which is already a big errand.
Unexpectedly, the reopening of shipping would involve the sale of illicit salt, which really annoyed him!
As a monarch, he naturally understands the harm of private salt, and it seems that some people are less and less concerned about themselves!
Thinking of this, Emperor Qiyang's eyes flashed cold, and he said to Mo Yao: "Don't act rashly first, it's right not to startle the snake, a small thief village, it is indeed impossible to have much private salt, I think there are greater interests behind them, I now order you, follow this line to investigate well, I want to see who is doing such a hurtful thing under my nose!" ”
"Yes, Brother Huang, my brother will not fail in his mission." Mo Yao stood up and bowed respectfully.
Emperor Qiyang waved his hand at him and motioned for him to sit down, "I have given you a secret decree, no matter who is involved in this matter, as long as there is conclusive evidence, it will not be spared!" ”
It seems that Emperor Qiyang really intends to purge the Qing Dynasty ruthlessly.
Mo Yao knew that since he said this, Emperor Qiyang should have thought that the mastermind behind this scene must be inextricably linked with a certain courtier, otherwise he would not have attached such importance to it.
"Okay, you go and see the queen mother, she is talking about you every day these days." Emperor Qiyang handed a token to Mo Yao and waved him away.
"Yes, Brother Huang, my brother is retiring." Mo Yao replied respectfully, then retreated from the imperial study and went straight to the Empress Dowager's palace.
When he arrived at the Queen Mother's Zhengren Palace, Mo Yao accompanied the Queen Mother to talk for a while, and was released from the palace by the Queen Mother after receiving many rewards.
It wasn't until he left the palace gate and got into the carriage that Mo Yao relaxed.
In fact, he didn't want to come to the palace, he felt very tired every time, he was originally his dearest, but he had to spend half of his energy to be weak and wronged, he was actually not happy in his heart.
Yezhi also knew that he would be like this every time he came out of the palace, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only keep his mouth shut and drive the carriage more steadily.
"Stop the night, go to Luofu." Mo Yao's voice suddenly came out.
Ye Zhi looked at the sky, thinking that he had seen the wrong time, who to go to Luofu at this time? However, he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to resign himself to turning the horse's head and driving the carriage in the direction of Luofu.
Mo Yao came suddenly, Luo Fu was not prepared, and when Luo Zhong ran to inform Luo Zheng that the prince of Duanjin was coming, Luo Zheng was reading the newspaper in the study, and when he heard that the prince was coming, he hurriedly threw down the newspaper that he had read halfway, and walked out quickly to greet him.
"I don't know that the prince is coming, and I hope that the prince will forgive my sins!" Luo Zheng came in a hurry, and when he saw Mo Yao, he hurriedly saluted and pleaded guilty.
"It's okay, Grandpa Luo doesn't need to be polite, it's this king who didn't think about it and came rashly, Grandpa Luo doesn't mind." Mo Yao stretched out his hand to help Luo Zheng, and his words were very gentle and polite.
"It is a blessing for the prince to come, please come inside." Luo Zheng led Mo Yao to the waiting room.
The maids had already been instructed by Luo Zhong, and they retreated after serving good tea, which was very beneficial.
Luo Zheng welcomed Mo Yao to the main seat, and sat in the second place, "I don't know if the prince came today, but what are your orders?" ”
Mo Yao took a sip of tea and nodded at Luo Zheng, "Yes, this king came this time, and he really wants to ask Grandpa Luo for help." ”
Luo Zheng hurriedly said: "How dare you, if the prince has anything to do, just give orders, and the lower officials will definitely die." ”
He said this is not hypocritical flattery, but sincerely respects Mo Yao, that time Luo Qing was infected with Gu poison, Mo Yao helped with all his heart, this kindness has not been returned, Luo Zheng has always remembered it.
Mo Yao knew what he was like, and naturally knew that he was not the kind of person who greeted him, so he said bluntly: "That king is not as polite as Grandpa Luo, that's the case, this king seized a batch of private salt in Hancheng today, the amount is quite large, this king has just reported to the royal brother, the royal brother ordered this king to investigate the matter thoroughly, this king came to borrow the Zhuangzi of Grandpa Luo's house." ”
As soon as he said this, Luo Zheng immediately reacted, "The prince wants to use the Zhuangzi of the lower official in Hancheng, naturally there is no problem, it is the blessing of the lower official to be able to share the worries of the emperor and the prince." ”
However, he had some doubts in his heart, in this way, after this matter is clarified, the Luo family will have a share of the credit, why does it always feel as if the prince gave him this credit? (To be continued.) )
