Chapter 26: The Water and the Boat

"Found it! Yue Xuan, the squire of the military department! Liang Yinhao swept away the haze that had accumulated in his heart for a few days, and said with a smile, "Although this Yue Xuan is guilty of knowing and not reporting it, he has never really participated in the transaction of selling weapons, so he still has a little conscience!" ”

"This person is a squire of the Ministry of War, and he is under the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he must look at Feng Weirin's face everywhere when he acts, and it is normal for people not to report it." Mu Qing smiled lightly, as light as a feather, but every word and sentence that came out of his mouth smashed into Liang Yinhao's heart like a thousand catties of boulders.

The more he listened, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but nod his head again and again. "Well, you're right, that's what I thought. Although this person is young, he has served as an adjutant general in the army, and he also has his own unique views on the management of soldiers in the front-line barracks, and has served as both a military attache and a civilian official. ”

However, there is another point that Liang Yinhao did not say explicitly, and it is also the most important point. It's just that this Yue Xuan is not a clan relative, and there is no power in the DPRK and China that can be relied on behind him. If he is promoted to the secretary of the military department, he will definitely obey his orders in the future, and it will never affect Liang Yinhao's control of the imperial court's troops.

"The emperor is wise. This Yue Xuan saw that the emperor not only did not blame him, but also promoted him to the secretary of the military department, he must be grateful to the emperor and more loyal. Mu Qing smiled, his smile was as detached as a fairy and with a sense of bewilderment, making people feel so confused and uncertain

Liang Yinhao looked at the charming, gentle and intelligent woman in front of him lovingly, and only felt that the original messy mood was instantly much more relaxed. "Or you have a way. By the way, if you have time, you can go to the queen mother's place to greet her, and persuade her by the way. ”

"The concubines will go to the Queen Mother's palace every day to say goodbye. But recently, whenever the concubines go to ask the Queen Mother for peace, they see that the Queen Mother always looks tired and worried. The concubines still feel strange, King Mingrui has been cleared of charges, and the emperor has allowed him to return to the fiefdom, why is the queen mother always sad? ”

"This problem lies in the matter of King Rui's return to the fiefdom!" Liang Yinhao sighed heavily, "You don't know, the queen mother has been coming to Changyi Palace for several days, saying that King Rui has just proved his innocence, and I shouldn't let King Rui go back so soon." ”

The Queen Mother heard the news that the emperor intended to let King Rui return to the fiefdom as much as possible, or that King Rui deliberately asked the Queen Mother to intercede, in short, the Queen Mother did not let Liang Yinhao stop for a moment in the past few days. He couldn't even deal with the mess of the military department, and he had to deal with the queen mother, he couldn't scold him, so he could only try his best to do things perfunctory.

Mu Qing pursed his lips and smiled, "The Queen Mother loves her son, and the emperor must be more considerate." ”

"Considerate? Then who will be considerate of me? Liang Yinhao said solemnly, "It is always inappropriate for King Rui to stay in the palace for a long time, and it is inevitable to provoke unwarranted speculation by people in the court." ”

"The emperor is clear, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" Mu Qing sat on Liang Yinhao's lap and asked tentatively, "Could it be... Is the emperor really relieved to let King Rui go back? ”

Liang Yinhao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that there was something in the beauty's words. "What do you mean by that?"

"The concubine knew that King Rui was once a generation of virtuous kings, so she shouldn't have doubted it. Although King Rui has no real power, but Fuzhou is remote after all, and the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, if King Rui really has the intention to build weapons privately, I am afraid that the emperor may not be able to perceive it in time. Mu Qing's soft words sparked people's hearts like feathers.

"Why are you the same as that Huo Pei'an, afraid of this and that." The emperor said disapprovingly, with a little impatience in his tone, "Don't worry, King Rui's every move in Fuzhou can't escape my eyes." ”

When Mu Qing heard this, he immediately pursed his lips and complained: "Just think that the concubine is a chicken belly, the concubine just wants to share the emperor's worries." ”

"Okay, okay, I just said a word about you, how can you be more serious?" Liang Yinhao smiled helplessly, and reached out to wrap his arms around Mu Qing's shoulder.

"Who made the emperor blame the concubine for being kind." Mu Qing faked his anger, and his coquettish expression made people feel a little pity.

Liang Yinhao said softly: "How can I blame you!" It's just that these empty words of King Rui's intention to rebel, Huo Xiang whispers in my ear almost every day, but he can't come up with any evidence, so I feel a little upset. ”

"I can't imagine that Huo Xiang also has this concern? Then the emperor should be more careful! Mu Qing sat up straight suddenly, and said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, think about it, didn't the recent incident of the military department's private storage of weapons give us a loud wake-up call?" In the important land of Gyeonggi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, unscrupulous people dare to do such a thing under the noses of the emperor and all the ministers, let alone Fuzhou, which is thousands of miles away? ”

Liang Yinhao smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Hehe, according to what you say, is it possible that I still want to keep him in the capital, and it is best to let him live in the palace?" ”

A happy smile finally bloomed on Mu Qing's face. "The emperor is really smart, this is indeed a good way! There is no wind in the air, instead of letting the tiger return to the mountain, it is better to leave King Rui by the emperor's side. ”

"You're really excited!" didn't expect his sarcastic words to be taken seriously by this little girl, Liang Yinhao couldn't help but feel funny, "Back then, Huo Xiang and I were afraid of King Rui's power in the court, so how much effort did it take to transfer King Rui out of the capital, how can there be any reason to get him back now?" ”

In fact, Liang Yinhao was not completely unmoved by Mu Qing's words, and Feng Weirin's matter did expose a lot of problems, and the entire five boxes of weapons could escape the eyes of the Beijing patrol guards, and they were buried in King Rui's old mansion unknowingly. Does that also mean that King Rui may escape the scrutiny of his eyes and secretly hide some shady things in his house? Although the matter has been proven to have nothing to do with King Rui, if King Rui really deliberately conceals something from the imperial court, he really can't get the report in the first place, and he can't make the fastest response. But even so, the capital has always been the center of power gathering, and it is too risky to leave King Rui in the capital, and he Liang Yinhao can't afford to gamble.

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and seeing that the other party was still hesitant, he spoke again: "Five years ago was five years ago, and now it is different from the past, the emperor holds great power, and there are Huo Xiang and Lord Wei to escort him, which can be said to have a solid foundation." On the other hand, King Rui has no real power in his hands, and he has no connections in the court, so even if he wants to, he can't turn it back. Besides, the snake hits seven inches, and the emperor is firmly pinching the veins of King Rui! ”

Liang Yinhao's expression was slightly stunned, the corners of his eyes were slightly squinted, and his voice was as cold as ice. "You mean... Dowager? ”

"Exactly." Mu Qing's dark eyes are bottomless, even though he has the light of wisdom, he doesn't seem to have half of his feelings. "Although the Queen Mother can protect King Rui in many things, she is also the death hole of King Rui, as long as we firmly grasp the thread of the Queen Mother, we are not afraid that King Rui will act rashly! Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and the deep love between mother and child can also be the most reliable bondage!"
