The ministers in the court have been almost disposed of, of course, Emperor Qinglong is not all in one go, there is always some room for buffer, except for a few who took the lead and were removed from their official positions, the rest of the people who seconded the proposal were only degraded or punished.

When this side is dealt with, Emperor Qinglong immediately asked Fuquan to bring a group of palace maids and eunuchs to Shoude Palace, he knows his own behind the scenes too well, and if he can't do it, he will be ruthless, and at this time, he may have been looking for death in the palace and scolding himself for being unfilial.

It has not been a matter of one or two years since Empress Su hindered her own management of the government, since the death of Concubine Yue, she took the opportunity to start interfering in the government and politics seemingly out of nowhere, and with the help of her mother's power to win over the courtiers.

But these hands and feet are carried out in secret, even if Emperor Qinglong is aware of it, he is helpless because there is no evidence, and Empress Su is his mother, he cannot rashly depose the latter, and the best way now is to put him under house arrest.

pulled out all the people around Empress Su, so that she could not get in touch with the outside world, and externally on the grounds that "the Queen Mother is ill and no one is allowed to visit", and internally in the name of protecting Empress Su, so as to impose house arrest.

This trick seems simple, but it is actually quite useful, Emperor Qinglong really can't imagine that this is actually Qi Mo has long thought about it, and above the main hall, Qi Mo also just right to "remind" himself, which justifiably suppressed the Queen Mother.

Although he retired from the court, the weather outside was really difficult to walk, Emperor Qinglong was in a good mood, and it was almost noon soon, so he simply set up a banquet in the palace and invited the ministers to eat and drink.

And this seemingly casual banquet was actually officially announced by Emperor Qinglong in front of everyone again. The identity of the Four Highnesses Qi is right, and the hidden meaning is that the Four Highnesses are also among the candidates for the Crown.

Qi Hua's meal was not a taste. He still can't believe that Qi Run is over like this, and the tragedy of Qi Run being dragged down clearly in his mind and Qi Mo who was sneering from the sidelines at that time still clearly appeared in his mind.

His eyes unconsciously looked at Qi Mo, who had already changed into a clean brocade robe at this time, and his whole body was full of luxury, which made him even more angry. It's still those ministers who are surrounding Qi Mo.

Originally, before today, half of the ministers of the DPRK and China maintained a neutral attitude, but after today, they have passed. How many of these people choose to support Qi Mo?

How could this person, who had only been in the palace for less than a year, get the support of so many people in such a short period of time.

"Brother Three Emperors—what are you thinking? I've called you several times. Qi Mo's voice appeared behind Qi Hua without warning.

Qi Hua was shocked, his hand shook, and he spilled the wine in the cup. He hurriedly covered it with his sleeve. He got up with a smile to hide his panic, raised his glass and said: "Congratulations to the fourth brother, the eldest brother has bad intentions, and after all, he has received the punishment he deserves, and the fourth brother can now sit back and relax." ”

"Yes." Qi Mo looked at him with a smile, "Then inherit the emperor's brother's auspicious words, come, for today's catastrophe I will not die." Cheers, I will take good care of the Three Emperor Brothers in the future. Because I can't forget the many care that the royal brother took care of me before. ”

A flash of panic flashed in Qi Hua's eyes, and he smiled, "I-where do I have anything to take care of, I just regret that I didn't take care of the fourth brother before, if I knew that the imperial brother had done so much bad to the fourth brother behind his back, I would definitely stop him--I wouldn't let the fourth brother suffer today." ”

"This is not in the way, is it not guilty of not knowing, don't worry about it, brother Huang, I have the worst memory, and I forgot it as soon as I turned around." The smile in Qi's eyes became even worse.

Fuyuan walked over and said, "Your Highness, the emperor is looking for you." ”

Qi Mo waved goodbye to Qi Hua and followed Fuyuan to the imperial study.

Qi Hua stared at his back as he gradually moved away, his eyes gradually became gloomy, Fu Rui cautiously walked to his side, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness is now in the limelight, this is our good opportunity, he has moved His Highness off the stage, and the next one to deal with is us."

The minions felt that instead of sitting back and waiting, it was better to strike first, at least we had the initiative. ”

Qi Hua pondered for a moment, now Qi Mo is indeed gaining momentum, especially after winning Qi Run just now, he will definitely be careless, and he has not shown much hatred for him, he should not expect that he will make a move so soon.

Thinking about it this way, he made up his mind, if he allowed Qi Mo's momentum to rise again, it would only be a matter of time before he surpassed himself, and he had to make a move before that.

"You go and inform the concubine, let her prepare, you must be careful, you must not be discovered, as long as you are not your confidant, you can't be trusted.

That stinky boy is a bit powerful, I'm afraid there is not only Jin Wei around him, but also a master we don't know about to help. Qi Run was defeated because he was defenseless, he thought he was doing quietly, but he didn't know that Qi Mo had already broken through the plan, he had such an end, and he blamed himself for being too useless. ”

"The slave will go to see Concubine Gong when he finds an opportunity, but for now, His Highness should go and talk to those ministers, so as not to arouse suspicion."

*

Qi Mo came to the imperial study, there were no outsiders in the study, so he casually saluted, walked in front of Emperor Qinglong and said with a smile: "Father and Emperor called his sons, but I want to ask about the court this morning." ”

Emperor Qinglong had a lot of doubts, and when he left the court, he couldn't wait to ask him about it immediately, but considering that he wanted to give Qi Mo time to get along with those ministers, he waited patiently.

Qi Mo guessed what he wanted to ask, and without waiting for Emperor Qinglong to ask, he first told Emperor Qinglong about Qi Run's events from the beginning of the plan to today, and finally talked about the most critical matter.

"Erchen learned the news from the Ling family three days ago that the eldest emperor's brother wanted to attack me, and when I first found out, I was really anxious, thinking about whether to discuss countermeasures with your father, but the Ling family gave Erchen an idea——"

When Emperor Qinglong heard the Ling family, his face was not very good, but when he heard the latter say that it was the Ling family's idea, his tone was even worse, and he asked, "But she let you stand under the thunder?" ”

"If you don't do this, how can you stop those people's mouths, they have long spread rumors that Erchen is a bad star, and only with the power of inhuman beings such as Lei Gong and Lei Mu can the rumors be suppressed."

"You're still defending her." Emperor Qinglong said angrily: "Do you know how dangerous you are today, it is because you were lucky this time and were not struck by lightning, but what if you were struck, you can still stand here and talk now?"

This Ling clan is vicious, although she reminded you and gave you ideas, but she completely left your life behind, she is so sure that this thunderbolt will not kill you? That Lei Gong Lei Mu couldn't listen to her. ”

Qi Mo said unhappily: "Father, please listen to Erchen, the Ling family is prepared, she gave Erchen a thing - a lightning rod, that thing can lead thunder and lightning to the ground, so that Erchen will not be killed by lightning, she can't wait to let Erchen live a hundred years old, how can she ignore Erchen's life." ”

Emperor Qinglong thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "Lightning rod? ――I've seen it from "Burning Hub", but it's a copper tile in the shape of a fish's tail? ”

"It's that thing, Ling said that he had tested it, and it could be placed on the roof to achieve lightning protection, so he dared to use it for his sons, don't blame the good people, if it weren't for her help this time, the sons might not be able to get out of trouble today." Qi Mo pursed his mouth and hugged Ling Yi unevenly.

Emperor Qinglong's face was faint, and he coughed twice, although he was still not very satisfied with the Ling family in his heart, but he had indeed seen this lightning rod from the book, so he said: "That's it, after all, there is no danger this time, the Ling family has merit, I will reward her with silver brocade, don't worry about it."
