In fact, it is quite troublesome to deal with my uncle, I want to achieve a deterrent effect, but I can't take his life. In this case, I really can't think of a good way to deal with it.

"You're stupid, if you want to be deterred, you can use other people's knives." After Yan Xiaoran knew my concerns, she said: "Didn't we hear that day that someone conspired with him, since we didn't kill Uncle Guo, then kill that person Liwei." ”

I slapped my thigh: "yes." "If the mastermind can't move, then move the accomplices. The person who conspired with his uncle that day was Mo Changting's father in the Ministry of Rites.

I was thinking about giving an order to arrest someone, and the little eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, Captain Mo asks to see me." ”

Captain Mo Changting? I nodded, "Let him in." ”

I thought that Mo Changting would be a strong man with five big and three thick, but when he came in, I found out that this was not the case. Mo Changting has a long figure and looks quite handsome, with a sense of heroism and handsomeness in his slender eyes, and a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows.

After Mo Changting came in, he knelt down on one knee to me: "The minister came this time to ask His Majesty for his guilt." ”

I learned Yan Xiaoran's movements, raised my eyebrows slightly, and asked casually, "What is Captain Mo's crime?" ”

"My father conspired with Uncle Shen Guo, which really insulted the reputation of my Mo family. The minister hereby surrendered himself on behalf of his father, and begged His Majesty to treat his father leniently. ”

Me: "......" was thinking about finding a substitute for the dead ghost just now, but now the sons of the people have turned themselves in.

"The minister is loyal to Nanling, if he had known what his father and uncle were planning, he would not have agreed."

I looked at Yan Xiaoran and asked him what he was going to do now.

Yan Xiaoran: "Captain Mo, rebellion is a capital crime, I believe you also know that if you let Your Majesty let them go like this, how can you gain a foothold in the court in the future?" ”

Mo Changting raised his head, looked directly at me, and replied resolutely: "The minister is willing to die for my Nanling, and there will never be any second heart." ”

Is this a sign of loyalty to me? Yan Xiaoran whispered in my ear: "Take this opportunity to take over the Praetorian Guards of the capital." ”

I also had this thought: "Since Captain Mo is so eager to show his loyalty, then I need to see Captain Mo's sincerity. I looked at Mo Changting and said, "Tell me more about the situation of the Praetorian Guard, I want to give the Praetorian Guard a good preparation." ”

Mo Changting paused and said, "There are currently a thousand people in the Praetorian Guard......

I listened silently, and I also knew that the Praetorian Guards were not involved in this rebellion. "Tomorrow, I will arrange for General Shen Qingshen to go to the barracks and rearrange everyone. Captain Mo go back first, as long as you are loyal and do not change, then your father, I will deal with it as appropriate. ”

“…… Xie Majesty. ”

Regardless of whether Mo Changting is loyal or not, I can't trust it all, so I have to let Shen Qing take over the Praetorian Guard, at least Shen Qing and I can still trust it.

"This Mo Changting, who knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to measure, if he really didn't participate in the rebellion, he would be a usable talent." Yan Xiaoran waited for Mo Changting to leave, and then gave an evaluation.

In the end, I combined Yan Xiaoran's opinions, plus the handling of the rebellion by the ancestors, and made suggestions on the handling of my uncle and Master Mo of the Ministry of Rites. Let his uncle, Master Mo and others go to the army as prisoners for five years, and all their families will stay in the capital and not go out, and Mo Changting will lead the team to escort them. The rest of the accomplices shall be classified as slaves and shall not be released for three generations.

This punishment is already very light, and most ministers have opinions, but at my insistence, it will not be over. I know you don't agree with me, but you can't help me.

On the day my uncle left, Yan Xiaoran and I waited at the gate of the palace, watching Mo Changting escort my uncle and others out. After walking around the cell, my uncle was much more wolf, and his mustache was drooping, and he was not as energetic as before.

Seeing us standing here, he also stopped, looked up at the sky, and then sighed slowly: "I don't know whether to be relieved or annoyed to see you doing this." ”

I smiled: "Uncle, cousin, once you go, you can do it yourself." Bao Jia and my aunt, I will take care of them. "I am also threatening them not to play tricks, because Bao Jia and his aunt are still in the capital.

As she spoke, Bao Jia's carriage had already entered, and she was heard crying out from a distance: "Daddy, brother." ”

Bao Jia ran down and threw himself into his uncle's arms: "Daddy...... Why are you doing this, now, what should I do with my mother? ”

Uncle touched Bao Jia's head lovingly: "Bao Jia, how is Gu Chen doing to you?" ”

Bao Jia nodded fiercely: "Daddy, he is very good to me, don't worry about me, it's you and my brother...... You ......"

"Don't worry, it's only five years." My uncle looked at me: "Your Majesty has been dealt with lightly, and five years have passed quickly. ”

"Okay, my mother and I will definitely wait for you to come back." Bao Jia bit her lip and said, she turned her head to look at Mo Changting on the side, and slowly moved over: "Brother Mo, can you ...... Take good care of my dad and brother. Bao Jia was a head shorter than Mo Changting, and she looked up at him, with tears on her face.

Mo Changting lowered his eyes and looked at Bao Jia, his hand was raised slightly, and he put it down again, and it took a long time before he spit out a word: "Okay." ”

From my point of view, I can clearly see the complicated feelings in Mo Changting's eyes. In this game, there are still three favors, and he is the one who is hurt the most. On that day, he must have been waiting for his bride with expectations, but what he waited for was that his father was arrested for rebellion, and his bride was sent to someone else's mansion.

"Hey......" Uncle also sighed: "Changting, this matter, the old man is sorry for you." He looked at Bao Jia: "Daughter, this path is your own choice, if you are wronged in the future, you will have to bear it yourself." The uncle looked at Bao Jia with pity, as if he had expected something.

Uncle is gone, escorted by Mo Changting, and I won't worry that they will suffer on the road. Bao Jia watched their backs and silently wiped her tears, I stepped forward to pat her on the back and took out a handkerchief to her: "Don't cry, I didn't embarrass them." ”

"Thank you, cousin, woo-woo......" She leaned gently into my arms, humming and crying.

I knew she was upset, but she didn't mess with me. That's what I like about Dragage, although she is usually arrogant, she has a measuring rod in her heart. She knows when to make trouble and when not to make trouble.

"Don't cry, it's time to go back, otherwise everyone will think your cousin is bullying you." Yan Xiaoran reminded.

Bao Jia raised his head: "Cousin, I'm going back to the fiefdom with Gu Chen in a few days, can I take ......?"

"I can't." I refused: "My aunt must stay in the capital, Baojia, and you don't make it difficult for your cousin." ”

"Okay, I'll come back often." She wiped her tears again: "Cousin, you must take care of my mother." ”

"Okay."

Bao Jia also reluctantly left, and I turned my head to look at Yan Xiaoran: "So, now it's all solved?" ”

He nodded, "Sort of." ”

I sighed slowly and turned to look at the tall buildings in the distance. Everyone wants to ascend to this throne, but they don't know that they are at the top, and they can only be extremely high. Since ancient times, in order to compete for this position, father and son, fratricide abound.

And I, in the face of rebels, can be so sparing, it's still quite great.

Although the days are in small fights, I dare not slack off. Every day, I had to learn how to govern the country, how to get along with my courtiers, and arrange for the imperial examinations. The imperial examination is especially important to me, because it is related to my deterrent power in the court in the future.

Now that there is no uncle, although everyone has stabilized, a new faction is gradually revealed. If I don't let the new forces inject into the court, the second Shen Jinzhong will probably pop up.

On this day, Yan Xiaoran and I went out of the palace together, went to the restaurant inn where those talented people stayed, and paid a private visit to Weifu to secretly explore the character behind their studies.

We ordered two cups of tea and a plate of peanuts in the corner of the inn lobby. There are noisy human voices in my ears, and the sound of storytelling in front of the lobby. While eating peanuts, I sighed: "In fact, at this time, if you come to two bowls of wine, you will feel like a hero." ”

I used to read the script, and the heroes in the script all brought a pot of wine to fight the sword world. Wandering around, being home everywhere, it's also a flavor. I also used to think that if I was not the emperor in the future, I would probably bring a pot of wine and fight the sword to the end of the world.

"You don't drink well, and if you drink too much, you'll go crazy." Yan Xiaoran reminded ruthlessly: "I don't want to be embarrassed with you. ”

I glared at him, "Bastard." ”

He took a sip from his teacup, ignoring my displeasure.

In the hall, the storyteller slammed the wood, and I looked over. The gentleman shook his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today the second child will continue to tell you the story of Lin Xueyue, the first talented woman of the Great Yan Dynasty. As mentioned last time, this talented woman even rejected the proposal of the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom. She said that she was just an ordinary person, and what she wanted was just a couple for a lifetime, and the emperor couldn't give it to her, so she refused. ”

I listened and looked at Yan Xiaoran: "You Da Yan really have a woman who even refuses the emperor's proposal?" ”

Yan Xiaoran buckled the teacup and thought for a while: "It seems that there is such a person." ”

"Tut-tut, dare to refuse the emperor, doesn't she want to have a good life in your Dayan?"

Mr. Storyteller continued: "Because Lin Xueyue rejected the emperor, she simply walked out of Yanjing and began her life of traveling around. It is said that along the way, she has made a lot of friends, including the martial arts alliance leader of the rivers and lakes, the leader of the cult, etc., these people are attracted by Lin Xueyue's talent and beauty, and they are willing to give her a couple for the rest of her life. ”

I smacked my tongue: "How attractive is this woman, why do decent and evil people like her?" ”

Yan Xiaoran looked at me: "She's not as good as you." ”

I was just about to be shy, and the storyteller said again: "I heard that a while ago, Lin Xueyue was going to come to our Nanling, but when I was on the border of Nanling, I met a bandit. Lin Xueyue immediately sang a song and easily conquered those bandits. ”

I squirted out a sip of tea.
