Chapter 51: Send Away
The atmosphere on the first floor of the world did not look dignified because of the assassination of Emperor Shenwu, and beside Emperor Shenwu were several talented women who had just succeeded in ascending the stairs.
Their frivolous words coaxed Emperor Shenwu very happily.
Sweep away the dullness after the assassination.
Ah Jiu walked in with the chamberlain, and glanced at it slightly, Emperor Shenwu is worthy of being the founding emperor, he has experienced strong winds and waves, he is very interested in asking about the exam questions on the first floor of the world, after hearing Mo Xinqing's solution, his face showed a little surprise, and he looked at Mo Xinqing with a meaningful gaze.
"Majesty?"
"The King of the Mountains has solved puzzles with this method."
Emperor Shenwu was full of reminiscence, and the county lord of Zhaohua glanced at Mo Xinqing, "Have you seen the manuscript left by your father?" â
Mo Xinqing smiled on her lips, and she gave a blessing, "The courtiers have always admired the prince of Kaishan, and the princess's manuscript has never been seen by the courtiers, but I heard my grandfather mention the wisdom and courage of the prince back then, and from the remaining legends, the courtiers deduced it." â
"Auxiliary Guogong?!"
Emperor Shenwu asked, "He dares to mention the King of the Mountains with you?" â
This sentence made Mo Xinqing stunned for a moment, Mo Xinlan watched coldly at Mo Xinqing being asked by Emperor Shenwu, their maternal grandfather was taught a lesson by Mu Yi, the king of the mountain, and the relationship with the king of the mountain was not close at that time, which Mo Xinqing did not know.
After all, Mo Xinqing went to her hometown in Shandong for most of the year to accompany the old lady.
The most beloved people of my grandfather and uncles are her Mo Xinlan,
Mo Xinqing saw that the atmosphere was inappropriate, and replied calmly; "My grandfather is thick and fine, and the person I admire the most will not often hang on the edge in front of outsiders, and in private, my grandfather always said to his courtiers that he admires the king of the mountain the most. Moreover, the courtiers also yearn for the heroic deeds when His Majesty ruled the world, and there are many heroes, and there will always be many memorable deeds in the era of heroes. â
"Second sister, I also like to listen to my grandfather talk about those things."
Mo Xinlan was named, and under the inquiring gaze of Shenwudi, she could only follow Mo Xinqing's words, "My grandfather admires His Majesty very much." He said when he first saw you. You know that you are the hero, the hero who rules the world. My grandfather once said that I would be loyal to you. It was the right thing he had ever done in his life. â
Emperor Shenwu's eyes wandered between the two young girls, with outstanding appearance and outstanding talent, they were not like the granddaughters of the Duke of Fuguo.
"Mo Guanjie. Your daughters are truly extraordinary, and I see that they have followed you. â
"Your Majesty has a good reputation."
Mo Guanjie hurriedly thanked Emperor Shenwu. "The minister doesn't dare to take credit, it's better to be taught by the Duke of Fuguo."
Emperor Shenwu's laughter was even more transparent, "However, the most outstanding one was raised by you personally. â
Just Ah Jiu curts: "I've seen His Majesty." â
It is self-evident who Mo Guanjie's most outstanding daughter refers to. Don't look at Mo Xinlan, the two of them have successfully climbed to the top of the first floor of the world, and they are flattering Emperor Shenwu, and they have mentioned the king of the mountains several times. intends to get closer to the relationship with the king of the mountain, so he is busy. Especially Mo Xinlan has been waiting for the opportunity to become famous completely, but she didn't expect that the most prominent person was not her.
For Ah Jiu to get a different look at Emperor Shenwu, she is always a little uneasy, although she hides it deeply, she also wants to get along with Ah Jiu, and the mind of competing with Ah Jiu is also zĂ i.
Only today did she faintly realize that Mo Xinqing, who she ignored, also had a light that was not weaker than Ah Jiu.
Who changed Mo Xinqing?!
Or did she never figure out her eighth sister?
Emperor Shenwu was kind to Ah Jiu, even if Ah Jiu didn't come over, the county lord of Zhaohua didn't mention Ah Jiu's excellence in front of Emperor Shenwu, and Emperor Shenwu had a little more affection for Ah Jiu, "Thanks to you for reminding me." â
"The courtiers only want to do their duty and do what they can, and Your Majesty can turn the crisis into safety, not the courtiers."
"Tell me more, to whom? Just now, Mo Xinlan said that it was my destiny, and Mo Xinqing said that I was blessed with Qitian, and even let the Zhou family bump into the assassin and bundle gunpowder. â
Emperor Shenwu leaned on the armrest of his chair and stared at Ah Jiu with burning eyes, "There is some truth in her defense for the Zhou family, if the gunpowder is tied to the assassin from the beginning, it will be more dangerous, if you don't see me, the gunpowder will be stained with fire and explode first, I want to hear your words." â
Mo Xinqing was really careful, few people would pay attention to the time and place when the assassin tied up the gunpowder, she just thought of it.
Ah Jiu said in a low voice; "Ruo Chennu said that the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Lord Lu the first credit, and it was precisely because of him in the face of emergencies that he not only sacrificed himself to protect him, but also commanded in the face of danger, so that His Majesty could save the day. The courtiers thought that His Majesty was the son of heaven of the empire and the ruler of all people, and the luck of the empire was the strongest, but no matter how strong the luck was, it also needed the assistance of capable and loyal people. â
"Lu Tianyang is a capable person who assists me in your eyes?"
Emperor Shenwu snorted coldly: "What kind of benefits did he give you, so that you can speak for him everywhere?" â
"The courtiers went all the way back to Beijing, thanks to the escort of Commander Lu, and I am very grateful to him." Ah Jiu didn't care about the cold gaze shot by Emperor Shenwu, raised his chin, and in addition to sincerity, there was also a trace of something different in his clear eyes, which did not belong to the calm momentum of her age.
Momentum is not an absolute advantage, but it is easier for her to draw the attention of Emperor Shenwu and others, and make her words easier to believe.
A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Guanjie's eyes, Ah Jiu in his memory is smart, but he doesn't have today's momentum, when he squatted in prison, Ah Jiu became more and more colorful?
"See the clues and see the whole picture, look at the part and grasp the whole. Along the way, not to mention anything else, the courtiers admired the proper arrangements of Commander Lu's envoys and their response to the crisis. In all equal circumstances, no one does it better than him. The assassin's assassination ended in failure, first, God bless our emperor, and second, Commander Lu succeeded in allowing the people to evacuate in an orderly manner, without causing panic or accidents because of the assassins. â
Ah Jiu once again bent his knees, "The courtiers have been taught by their grandfather and father since they were young, and they have been sincere to others, especially in the face of His Majesty, they must not be deceived or flattered. Commander Lu is kind to his courtiers, and the courtiers will never dare to talk baseless nonsense in front of His Majesty because of this kindness. Facts speak louder than words, and Commander Lu has done what many people can't. In addition to his own talent, he also thinks a lot about how to be in a critical situation. Fulfill the mission entrusted to him by His Majesty, protect the stability of the imperial capital, and fulfill his duties for Your Majesty. There is a saying that in times of peace, it is precisely because of the essence of the situation that Commander Lu can make the most appropriate decision. â
The mask on Lu Tianyang's face blocked any prying eyes.
No one expected that Ah Jiu would not fight for himself. didn't reap the benefits of her family like her two sisters. Instead, he praised the commander of the Jinyi Guard with the name of Hades, the key is that she has something to say, not exaggerated.
Emperor Shenwu swept Lu Tianyang. "Tell me about it." â
The emperor was more suspicious, even if Ah Jiu said sincerely, he still had some doubts about it, suspecting that Ah Jiu was colluding with King Lu Yan. and then show favor to Mo Guanjie...... Mo Guanjie was not worried about Lu Tian's cultivation, Emperor Shenwu was not worried. But Jiang Cifu is the head of the Wenchen who Emperor Shenwu values the most and entrusts him with important tasks, if he is too involved with Jinyiwei, it is really not what Emperor Shenwu wants to see.
Ah Jiu didn't even look at Lu Tianyang, with a straight face. Tell the story of the journey in the most objective and unbiased terms, focusing on the encounter with the Assassin in the jungle. Lu Yan's expression of excellence, under her vivid description. Emperor Shenwu listened attentively, as if he was there.
After Ah Jiu stopped, Emperor Shenwu said with emotion: "It's really extraordinary. â
Lu Tianyang hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "I dare not be ashamed." â
"I've taken note of your work."
Emperor Shenwu got up from his chair, "Another day, I will reward my meritorious deeds." â
"Thank you."
Lu Tianyang once again thanked Emperor Shenwu.
Gonggong Ma got the emperor's signal and shouted clearly: "The holy car returns to the palace." â
Emperor Shenwu returned to the palace surrounded by guards.
The lord of Zhaohua said to Ah Jiudao; "You are still young, don't be confused by momentary gratitude."
"I remember what His Royal Highness the County Lord said."
ââŚâŚâ
The county lord of Zhaohua knew that Ah Jiu didn't go to his heart, so he sighed silently, and he still had to talk to the Jiang family, that is, his son Lu Lingfeng couldn't marry Ah Jiu, and he couldn't be a good girl who was confused by King Lu Yan, and Lu Tian raised ...... She doesn't like it no matter how she looks at it.
On the way back, the county lord of Zhaohua asked his son, "Would you rather listen to your grandmother?" â
Lu Lingfeng's handsome face was a little more difficult, and he said astringently: "Grandmother told her son that my son doesn't want you to get along with your grandmother for family affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is virtuous, and the daughter born to the crown princess is virtuous and virtuous, and she is the same age as her son." Although the mother is another candidate, the son just treats Ah Jiu as a younger sister, she is not bad, but the age is really not suitable, the grandmother is looking forward to holding her grandson for not a day or two, and the father wants his son to have a future as soon as possible. â
When it comes to Chengguo Gong Lu Jiang, the county lord of Zhaohua has rested a lot, Cheng Guogong has been really good to her over the years, and she also likes Lu Jiang very much.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a corporal of Lixian, his virtue is not wrong, and he has the support of the queen mother behind him, and his position is very stable, mother, you are worried that the Chengguo Mansion will be involved in the seizure of the heir, it is completely unnecessary. Even if the son marries the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be that he still sells the Chengguo Gong and his grandmother to the Prince's Palace? â
From Lu Lingfeng's words, it is not difficult to hear that once His Royal Highness the Prince's status is unstable, he does not take the prince's daughter very seriously, as if he is making an investment, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, it is very good, if the prince capsizes halfway and is pulled off the horse by any prince, the Lu family will not accompany him because of his in-laws.
With the strength of the princess of Chengguo and the princess of the town, it is enough to ensure that Lu Lingfeng can do whatever he wants.
Lord Zhaohua frowned, "I don't want to listen to what you say, even if you marry the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince, she is your wife, how can you treat her well or badly because the prince is powerful or not?" Ling Feng, act as a person, don't be too calculating. The wife who accompanies you all your life is that she is not pleasing to you enough, and you should respect her and protect her. You must not do anything that flies separately when disaster strikes. â
"My son remembers."
Lu Lingfeng bowed his head and confessed his mistake, "My son just wants his mother to understand that I will never change the neutral status of the Lu family because of my beauty and in-laws, nor will I affect my grandmother and uncles." â
"After all, it still has an impact." The lord of Zhaohua County saw that his son valued the prince's daughter, and he didn't want to disappoint his son, "You can't listen to your grandmother's words in all your family affairs, and when your mother's condition improves in two days, I will talk to your grandmother." â
"Grandmother's illness ......," Lu Lingfeng said worriedly; Can't you eradicate all these years of getting sick all these years? â
"How can it be so easy to follow? It would be nice to be able to keep her sick from not being sick as often, and to relieve her pain. â
Lord Zhaohua shook his head helplessly, "If it weren't for the old illness left on the battlefield back then, my mother wouldn't have suffered so much." â
"My son heard that there was an apricot forest master in the southwest. I have already sent someone to invite me, and I will go to the capital in a few days, hoping that Xinglin Miaoshou will help my grandmother's condition. â
"I hope so."
Lord Zhaohua patted Lu Lingfeng's hand, "Your grandmother is just stricter, in fact, she loves you very much, and she treats you like Yan Yu, among the grandchildren." I value both of you the most. She's just right...... Your grandmother's words and deeds are somewhat disdainful. â
"The son is also willing to be close to his maternal grandmother."
Lu Lingfeng hurriedly made a statement. "In a few days, my son will go with you to visit her, and I will spend a few more days with my grandmother."
The county lord of Zhaohua was happy. is full of love for his son, but he says: "Do you go to accompany your grandmother, or go to see the lady next to your grandmother?" â
"I was with my grandmother." Lu Lingfeng is very good at danqing, especially good at painting beauties.
Last year, in order to draw twelve beauties in the imperial capital. He didn't bother with it.
The most important thing around the eldest princess of Zhenguo is the beauty of both talents, and the ladies who enter the purple shirt guard are outstanding among their peers.
******
After Emperor Shenwu left. Mo Guanjie said goodbye to Lu Tianyang, Ah Jiu stood quietly behind Mo Guanjie, Lu Tianyang looked over a few times, she just lowered her head. made a look that he was not familiar with himself, and it was not at all like asking for credit for himself in front of Emperor Shenwu.
Only he knows the touching of Fang Cai, from childhood to adulthood. No one thought about him.
"Brother Mo will do his best to let the Zhou family fall into the top." Lu Tianyang couldn't help but remind Mo Guanjie.
Even if Emperor Shenwu believed Mo Xinqing's words, he would not let people investigate Aunt Zhou thoroughly. But she is always unwelcome and suspicious. The timing of Zhou Huiniang's appearance was too coincidental, leaving such a person in the back house, the Mo family might be entangled by someone.
Mo Guanjie had a stern face and led his three daughters to return to the Mo family after a round with the Jiang family.
As soon as she entered the door, Mo Xinqing knelt down with Aunt Zhou, kowtowed, and said, "I hope my father will spare my aunt." â
"Sir...... The concubine just went to the night market, not for a purpose. â
Aunt Zhou still seems to be frightened until now, she always thought that it was very simple to see people save the driver, as long as she rushed up, but only when it happened before, she understood that although the rescue was heavy, it was also extremely dangerous, she couldn't open her legs in front of the murderous assassin, and she was afraid that the assassin would ignite the gunpowder and blow her up.
In the test of life and death, she coerced and retreated.
disappointed her daughter's hard-won news, if Mo Xinqing hadn't helped her speak, Aunt Zhou would have been taken to Dongchang for interrogation.
This is completely different from the competition for favor in the back house, Aunt Zhou would rather fight with the Jiang family in the back house than go through the rescue of the driver.
Mo Xinqing said; "Although my aunt is at fault, the emperor did not blame her, and asked my father to read it for my aunt's sake, which has not been easy for many years, and forgive her.
"I am doing right, and I am not afraid of what people say."
Mo Guanjie said: "Sister Qing's filial piety to her biological mother's mind, for her father can understand, let's not mention today's matter for the time being, I released the concubine book and let her return, not because I dislike her." For a while, I don't want to delay Aunt Zhou for Brother Yong'er, and second, I don't want to make the house restless! â
"You get up, no matter what you say today, she must return, she can't finish packing up, and then you will be a daughter and send her back, and Mrs. and I will not be greedy for her private money and things."
Mo Guanjie ruthlessly refused to let Aunt Zhou slowly pack up her things, "Early tomorrow morning, I don't want to see her at home again." â
"Daddy......"
Mo Xinlan opened her mouth.
"Whoever says more and defends her, he will leave with her! I have no one to send me to the end, and I can't leave a root and seedling of trouble because of a moment of soft-heartedness. â
Mo Guanjie brushed his sleeves away, refusing to listen to anyone pleading for Aunt Zhou, not to mention Mo Xinlan and Mo Xinqing at this time, even his only sister-in-law Mo Junyong would not work.
Mo Xinqing sighed heavily, and helped Aunt Zhou up, "Mother, I'll send my aunt back to the house first, and tomorrow morning, I'll personally send my aunt back to the Fuguo Mansion." â
"Sister Qing'er, don't blame your father for being ruthless and unwilling to sympathize with your aunt, today's incident is too big. Your aunt is not as peaceful as in the past, her obsession is too deep, and she keeps interrupting, which not only harms the Mo family, but also does not necessarily mean a good thing for your aunt. Returning early and calming down, maybe she can understand a little bit of the truth that she can't force everything. â
Jiang didn't show any smugness, his eyes were as calm as ever, from beginning to end, Jiang never put Aunt Zhou in his eyes or heart.
Only Aunt Zhou regarded Jiang as an opponent.
"Thank you, Mother."
Mo Xinqing nodded to Jiang and helped the depressed Aunt Zhou to leave.
Jiang looked at Mo Xinlan and smiled: "There are frequent accidents tonight, and your father is upset because of Aunt Zhou's affairs, Sister Lan has climbed to the first floor of the world and is famous in the capital, this happy event must be celebrated." How many ladies have fallen in the face of the problems on the first floor of the world? Sister Lan is angry, and the master is also happy, which is also the glory of the Mo family. â
"There's no need to celebrate, it's just to climb the first floor of the world, and I'm not the only one who has successfully climbed the stairs, and the eighth sister has a higher number of chips than me."
"Then let's do it together, and take this opportunity to celebrate my master's safe release from the edict."
Ah Jiu didn't show any envy at all, Mo Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief, and then had a little regret, "The ninth sister will also have a chance in the future, but her performance in front of His Majesty is much better than me and the eighth sister, it's just ...... Mother, the ninth sister should not mention Commander Lu. â
Jiang nodded and said, "I'll discipline her in a while." â
PS I wish book friends a happy New Year, a happy family, and many blessings and wealth. (To be continued) R655
