It's late today, so please forgive me. In the afternoon, a fox friend said: Today is 5.19, so it's a drinking day.

After the emperor came back from the Rui Palace, he stayed in Concubine Chen's Chenzhi Palace, and he didn't even return to the Qinzheng Palace. Such a big thing happened, Liang Yinhao's heart was very troubled, his head was swollen and painful, and he only sat in Chenzhi Palace with a gloomy face, no matter who came, he would not see him.

"The concubine just went to visit the queen's palace, and I heard from the imperial doctor that the mother's headache has improved, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." Mu Qing kneaded Liang Yinhao's shoulders while saying tenderly: "The emperor must be very tired after a busy day today, why don't you rest early?" ”

Liang Yinhao pinched the sour bridge of his nose with his fingers, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I am indeed a little tired today." But I'm in a mess right now, and I really can't sleep!"

Mu Qing didn't stop the movements in his hand, and asked without a trace: "The emperor refers to Huo Xiang's poisoning of King Rui?" ”

"That's it." Liang Yinhao nodded helplessly, and his eyebrows showed an anxious feeling. "Tell me about the recent troubles, one after another, without letting me stop for a moment?!"

Mu Qing didn't know why he said: "Didn't the emperor say that King Rui didn't plan to pursue this matter?" In this way, the emperor doesn't have to worry about offending Huo Xiang because of this, hasn't the matter been resolved? ”

Liang Yinhao sighed heavily, "It is precisely because King Rui does not pursue this matter that I feel upset!" ”

"Why? Could it be that the emperor is worried that King Rui has other plans? Mu Qing still asked puzzled.

"Not really." Liang Yinhao's face was gloomy, he turned his head to look at Mu Qing sideways, and said, "Do you know why King Rui chose to swallow his anger this time?" He said that now Huo Pei'an's power is too great to act without permission, and he can only choose to calm things down when he takes into account the overall situation. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect King Rui to have such a consciousness of sacrificing himself for the country. Mu Qing lowered his eyes, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said slowly, "The emperor asks for forgiveness for the concubine's words." King Rui's scruples do have his reasons. Nowadays, there are many people in the court, and more things are better than less things, since King Rui can see it, why should the emperor bother himself? ”

"A woman's view is short-sighted!" Liang Yinhao snorted coldly, and his frowning brows printed a Sichuan character on his originally flat forehead. "I listened to King Rui's words today, and my heart was really uncomfortable! I am the king of a country, the supreme son of heaven who holds the power of life and death, and now I am forced by a prime minister to the point of relying on people in everything, and I deserve to be the emperor! ”

Mu Qingying smiled, like a breeze in the cold winter wax moon. "The emperor must not be presumptuous and exaggerate the momentum of others. In fact, according to the concubines, this matter is not without benefits, at least it gives the emperor a warning, and you must be careful to watch out for Huo Pei'an in the future. ”

"Beware? How to be on guard? It's easy to say. Is it to strip some of the power from his hands? Or continue to secretly instigate Wei Ming? Liang Yinhao said disdainfully, "It's not that I haven't tried these methods." But the result? That Huo Pei'an not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but he intensified it, and now he dared to hide it from me and make his own claims. At the beginning, we set up Wei Ming to balance Huo Pei'an's method, which also didn't work. ”

"The concubine doesn't think so." Mu Qing smiled disapprovingly, raised his eyes and looked directly at Liang Yinhao, his eyes seemed to be breathtaking, "If this method has no effect, why did Huo Xiang carry the emperor behind his back and rashly make a move?" Obviously, we have forced Huo Pei'an to be in a hurry, and he can't wait, so he chose this strategy. In the humble opinion of the concubine, our method is not unworkable, but we need to increase the weight!"

"Weights?" Liang Yinhao was stunned for a moment, and asked incomprehensibly, "What kind of addition?" ”

"Wei Ming alone is not qualified to fight Huo Pei'an alone, but what if there is another prince of the imperial court?" Mu Qing said calmly, with an incomprehensible depth in his eyes

Liang Yinhao opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "What do you mean....pull King Rui into the court?" Use the power of King Rui and Wei Ming to suppress Huo Pei'an? ”

Mu Qing lowered his head and smiled, his eyes flashed, and then disappeared, "It's not to suppress Huo Pei'an, but to let the two sides check and balance each other, so that the emperor can use one side to suppress the other party, and not let either side dominate." Once the three-legged situation is stabilized, the emperor will no longer have to worry about who is so powerful that he can achieve great merit. ”

Liang Yinhao pondered silently, and had to admit that Mu Qing's construction was indeed somewhat reasonable, but could King Rui believe it? He used to believe in Huo Pei'an so much, but the treacherous and cunning Huo Xiang still had to inch in, secretly doing so many shady things behind his back, and now he even took it upon himself to poison the prince, which simply didn't take him as the emperor in his eyes. But King Rui was once his confidant after all, and it was he who tried his best to drive King Rui out of the court. Now if he suddenly summons King Rui back to the court, wouldn't all the qiē he had done before be in vain? And Liang Yinhao always had a pimple in his heart, since Huo Pei'an couldn't believe it, then Rui Wang Liang Yinhuan couldn't believe it.

Mu Qing knew the scruples in Liang Yinhao's heart early on, so he spoke again: "The concubine knows that King Rui once had political discord and festivals with the emperor, but that was all in the past. What qualifications does the current King Rui have to threaten the emperor? Mu Qingwei paused, glanced at Liang Yinhao's reaction, and then said: "Moreover, looking at King Rui's reaction today, it seems that he has no intention of fighting for power and profit. Is there even a possibility... King Rui is on your side of the emperor? ”

The eyes were cold, and thousands of coldness shot in and out, and those two eyes were as sharp as two sharp blades, which obviously made people shudder, but they couldn't smell the slightest smell of blood. He remembered that the words of King Rui during the day had indeed given him a new understanding of this younger brother. If King Rui really had the intention of seeking power and usurping the throne, then King Rui could have saved him today and let him drink the cup of poisonous tea, but King Rui did not do so. Maybe... Maybe he'll really give it a try.

Mu Qing saw that Liang Yinhao lowered her head and was silent, and then a light and gentle smile appeared on her lips, and her simple words were light and low, but they were firm and unquestionable. "Take 10,000 steps back and say, if King Rui really has bad intentions, will Huo Pei'an stand by and stay out of the matter?" Mu Qing continued to bewitch, "We want to suppress Huo Pei'an, not to kill Huo Pei'an, Huo Xiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will not let Rui Wang Hu come." But there is one thing that the emperor must understand! In the final analysis, using King Rui to balance Huo Xiang is just an expedient measure, and neither of the emperor can trust it. ”
