Chapter 67: The End
All the mysteries of King Ping's death are solved today, Xiao Mo obeyed Ling Hao's instructions, buried this matter deep in his heart, and let the Queen Mother go, and the Queen Mother is also willing to let go of her grievances and no longer embarrass Xiao Mo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Zhao has no children for many years, King Ping is the eldest son of the step, and later Emperor Zhao's queen is now the queen mother, gave birth to the second prince Ling Tianxu, and then Xin Guifei gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Emperor Zhao favored Xin Guifei, the queen was worried that the three princes threatened Ling Tianxu's crown prince, so she designed to remove the three princes, and the three princes were pushed off the city wall by the queen's order, rather than accidentally falling to death.
The truth of the fall of the three princes was not discovered until three years ago, and the person who found the clue was King Ping, King Ping wanted to denounce the Queen Mother, but he was just a prince with no real power, how could he move the Queen Mother, so King Ping came to King Jing's Mansion before he died.
"King Ping came to the master, is he asking the master to condemn the queen mother?" Xiao Mo asked.
Standing in the quiet pavilion with Ling Hao, there was loneliness all around, and all the turmoil seemed to have subsided.
Ling Hao looked into the distance and said slowly: "King Ping is a jealous and hateful person, but he thinks everything too simply, this king can dispose of the queen mother, but after disposing of it, what will happen to Xu'er, what will happen to the world of Yan Kingdom?" ”
At that time, Emperor Zhao had gone, and Ling Tianxu had not long ascended the throne, if the Queen Mother was condemned, Ling Tianxu, who had lost the help of his relatives, would be isolated, even if Ling Hao was in power, but Ling Tianxu did not believe in Ling Hao, the two were incompatible, and other ambitious people took a fancy to this, and they were ready to move, and they would definitely wait for an opportunity to get rid of the first of them, so that the political situation was in chaos.
Xiao Mo had another doubt in his heart, but wasn't this situation greatly conducive to Ling Hao's ascension to the throne?
Why did he choose to keep the Queen Mother, thus consolidating Ling Tianxu's throne......
"Master doesn't want to be the emperor of Yan Kingdom?" Xiao Mo still couldn't help but ask.
Ling Hao turned his eyes slightly to look at Xiao Mo, and said lightly: "Emperor, what's good." ”
Xiao Mo looked at him, his eyes were full of disbelief, he didn't want to be the emperor, why did he have to monopolize power and set up Ling Tianxu.
"The teacher knows what you want to ask, and you will understand later."
Ling Hao's mind was too deep, Xiao Mo couldn't see his heart no matter what, let alone see through it, her previous guesses were wrong, Yan Guo's guesses about Ling Hao were wrong, what did he want? And what was she for?
He said she would understand later, and how long would it take to do so? The answers to all these questions are unknown, and Xiao Mo seems to have to wait until she sees him clearly.
There were still doubts about King Ping, and Xiao Mo asked again: "That master rejected King Ping that day?" ”
"The teacher only told him that this matter was up for discussion, but the Queen Mother already knew."
King Ping left the palace, and then was poisoned by the Queen Mother, even if the truth is so, Ling Hao took care of the overall situation, helped the Queen Mother hide everything, and informed the Yan Kingdom that King Ping died of an emergency, and for the sake of the political peace of Yan Kingdom, he did not hesitate to implicate himself, and even Xiao Mo almost misunderstood.
"Why didn't the master tell me earlier." Xiao Mo whispered.
"I don't let you check it in person, just based on what the teacher said, do you believe it?"
Xiao Mo lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, since she arrived at King Jing's Mansion, Ling Hao had given her enough trust, but she had always been suspicious.
Her thoughts had long been seen through by Ling Hao, Ling Hao acquiesced to her admission to the Tai Hospital, and arranged for her to look at the pulse case, in exchange for her trust, for the Queen Mother to stop attacking her, and for her thoughtfulness......
"If the master has anything to say in the future, I believe it." Xiao Mo said lightly.
"Prepare to prepare, and go to Xunzhou with the teacher in a few days, but this matter must be kept secret."
"To Xunzhou?"
"The division promised Xu'er to withdraw the army, and he will not break his word." After Ling Hao finished speaking, he slowly turned around and left.
He didn't want to be the emperor, but he was mistaken by everyone including Ling Tianxu to seize the throne, he was hiding it for the Queen Mother in consideration of the overall situation, but he let himself fall into gossip.
It's very simple to think about, people are afraid of short and long, and short and long are also afraid of people, in the past, the rumors about her and Ling Tianxu were flying all over the sky, that was because the people who were falsely rumored were not afraid of her and Ling Tianxu, and if they were Ling Hao, who dared to talk about it openly, he took all the doubts on himself, so that Yan Guo was quiet.
Even though he couldn't see through the back, Xiao Mo felt a hint of admiration in his heart.
Before going to Xunzhou, Ling Hao went to the Regent Palace as usual to discuss politics, and no one noticed that he was about to leave Handu.
Xiao Mo returned to Ling Hao's side and followed him everywhere, Ling Hao seemed to be discussing politics with the ministers, but in fact, he was also teaching Xiao Mo how to govern the country.
Ling Hao became more and more like a master, Xiao Mo admitted from the bottom of his heart that this master was much more shrewd than the brainless Ling Tianxu.
Everything he did before was for the future, there was a need for trust between master and apprentice, even if she was the person next to Ling Tianxu, Ling Hao had been convinced of her from the beginning.
"Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, use doubtful people, they will be suspicious, and if you are suspicious, you will be sluggish, and everything will be difficult to achieve."
Every word Ling Hao said seemed to be teaching Xiao Mo, seemingly shallow but thought-provoking.
Xiao Mo is very smart, Ling Hao knows, but in his eyes, Xiao Mo is just a young apprentice who has not been deeply involved in the world, and his maturity and intelligence can only show that he is a good seedling, which still needs to be cultivated, and can become a great tool.
Xiao Mo later learned that Ling Hao began to help Emperor Zhao take care of the government at the age of fourteen, and then Emperor Zhao's dragon health deteriorated, and according to Emperor Zhao's order, he began to take charge of the government as a regent at the age of seventeen, and he had been in power for eight years.
And Xiao Mo, who only lived for eighteen years in her previous life, and most of the things in the court were heard rather than witnessed, she knew that in front of Ling Hao, her knowledge was short-sighted, with such a powerful master, could she still be humble and diligent? Sooner or later, you will have to go back to Qi to take revenge, don't learn more skills, how to deal with enemies.
On the waterfront platform outside the Tianfang Pavilion, Xiao Mo sat in front of the desk, writing a book, then put down his pen and handed the just-written strategy to Ling Hao opposite: "Please take a look at it, master." ”
Ling Hao took it, glanced at it, and looked at the words, he frowned slightly, and stretched after a while, Xiao Mo didn't notice it.
Xiao Mo still has a question in his heart, if he asks, will he say it?
How do you know if you don't ask.
"Master, I heard that the noble people of Xi are also from the Qi Kingdom?"
Ling Hao raised his eyes to look at Xiao Mo and said, "You want to ask why she is in Qingzhu Xuan?" ”
"I can't hide anything from the master." Xiao Mo smiled and sighed lightly.
"Before poisoning King Ping, the Queen Mother did one more thing."
"What?"
Ling Hao looked down at the strategy and said lightly: "Drug the Jiang family and get rid of Xu'er's imperial heir." ”
Xiao Mo was shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, in order to compete for power and profit, isn't this kind of method very common in the harem?
Xiao Mo guessed that the Queen Mother did this to suppress the power of the Jiang family, and what the Queen Mother hoped was, of course, that Concubine Li could give birth to an heir, and Jiang Zhi's child would do more harm than good to the Queen Mother.
Xiao Mo then said: "The Jiang family escaped, but after all, the Jiang family is a member of the Jiang family, this matter cannot be light-hearted, and someone must bear the guilt before it can be resolved, so the master let the Xi nobles bear the guilt, but if the Xi nobles bear the guilt, won't the master fall into a short life, does the master really not mind those whispers?" ”
Ling Hao didn't answer, and quietly read the strategy written by Xiao Mo.
It's summer, the breeze is blowing, and the water surface is rippling.
Ling Hao turned his eyes to look at the pavilion in the pond, and said slowly: "Only in the clear pond can the mud be unstained, the imperial city is a mire, and it can't be washed." ”
Ling Hao took the strategy and looked at it again, and asked, "Who taught you your words?" "The strategy is well written, and the words are also good, but the handwriting is too feminine, and it seems to be from a woman's hand.
Xiao Mo realized that there was a problem with the handwriting, her face could be covered, her voice could be pretended, and even her usual words and deeds were imitating her brother's righteousness, but this handwriting was negligent.
Xiao Mo replied hesitantly: "Yes...... It's my mother. ”
Ling Hao glanced at Xiao Mo suspiciously, and didn't say much.
