292. 292. Power
Back at Luoyun Tower, Lan Jue and Jiang Shizhong quickly brought the meal, it was now three o'clock (half past two in the afternoon), and the three people who had arrived at the altar at the beginning of Chen Shi (seven o'clock in the morning) and had not eaten all felt a little hungry, but Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi still took care of Qingyun's meal first, but the two of them didn't eat much.
Instructed Lan Jue and Jiang Shizhong to remove the dishes and chopsticks, and Qingyun sat quietly by the window.
In the street market, the people rushed in groups to watch the chariots of the new emperor paraded with the people, and almost everyone's faces were full of joy, and their mouths were full of reverence and hope for the new emperor.
Seeing this, a shallow smile rose at the corner of Qingyun's lips.
As long as Wuyun is diligent and loves the people, he can let the people of Zhou live and work in peace and contentment, and win the love and support of the people, I believe that no one can shake the throne of Wuyun.
"Master" Wuying suddenly quietly entered the room and said respectfully: "According to the secret report of the secret guard, Shuolun did not catch the murderer who killed Chamuhag with the arrow, and he is still looking for suspicious people everywhere at the moment, and Merasu lost his temper after returning home, according to investigation, Merasu and his cousin, the daughter of the head of the Borut clan in Jianxing County, Angroma are in love, but unfortunately the Borut clan is a family of merchants, Shuolun resolutely opposes Merasu marrying Angroma as his wife, so he ......"
"That's why Myrasu ruthlessly poisoned and murdered the clouds!" The light smile on Qingyun Qingli's face was instantly suppressed by coldness and pity: "Dark clouds have always treated Melasu like a relative, and even when he knew that he poisoned himself, he firmly believed that he was innocent, but Myrasu was a wolf-hearted thing!" ”
Although there is a reason for what Merasu did, he shouldn't hurt Wuyun for his own selfishness, after all, it was his father's selfishness, not Wuyun who forcibly asked him to enter the palace, he didn't dare to resist his father, but he blamed everything on Wuyun, which was simply hateful and annoying!
Seeing that Qingyun was annoyed and indignant because of an irrelevant person, Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi were distressed, and glanced at each other, both of them flashing with bloodthirsty murderous intent in their eyes.
It's good that you are a Mailasu, and you actually made Xiyan (Xiaoyun) angry, it's really damned!
"Can you find out who gave Myrasu the medicine?"
"Back to the master, it is the son-in-law of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, this person is gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact he acts insidiously and cunningly, and Wozhirog has a close personal relationship with Hang Gai, the second grandson of King De, and his subordinates have verified that the medicine is handed over by Hangai to Wozhirog, and Vorzhirog is handed over to Merasu, and Merasu uses Chai Ligan's affection for him and instructs Chai Ligan to give it to Emperor Zhou, as for where Hanggai got the medicine, his subordinates are incompetent, and they have not found it."
"Hang Gai usually doesn't have much contact with the dark clouds, how did he know that the dark clouds of the Dao Dao were caught in the 'phantom dream' and gave Myrasu the medicine?"
Mo Xuan thought for a while and said, "Does Xiyan still remember the inexplicable missing grandmother beside the old queen mother?" ”
"You mean the man didn't go missing, but was secretly hidden by Hangai."
Qingyun held the teacup in her hand, and Qingli's face flashed with a cold breath: "The 'Illusory Dream' in the Dark Clouds should also come from that person's hand, after all, she is a native of the Absolute Dust Palace, whether it is the 'Illusory Dream' or the Medicine Lead, it is easy for her." ”
"I heard that Hang Gai rarely goes to the old queen mother's palace to ask for peace, how did he find out the true identity of that person?" Chu Yunyi was puzzled.
"Tubu Xinju is unpredictable, and he must have his eyeliner in the old queen mother's palace." Mo Xuan said meaningfully: "When I learned that the old queen mother ordered someone to poison Xiyan by Gessel's hand, I quickly found out the grandmother, and then asked the purple guard to monitor it closely, the purple guard did not see her leave the palace, but she disappeared, the only explanation is that there is a secret passage in the old queen's bedroom, she left from the secret passage, Emperor Zhou said that the secret passage in the palace is only known to the royal family, and Hang Gai happens to be a member of the royal family, so after knowing the identity of that person, he secretly took it out of the palace for their use." ”
Qingyun nodded: "Chen Yu has a point. ”
"Tubuxin is extremely strict with the words and deeds of his descendants, and Hang Gai is hiding a big living person, it is impossible for him not to know the way, maybe what Hang Gai did was instructed by him." Chu Yunyi said.
"Whether he knows the Tao or not, and whether he instructed Hang Gai to do it, this matter has nothing to do with him." Qingyun turned to look at the dancing shadow: "What's going on in King De's Mansion?" ”
"Back to the master, after King De returned to the house, he discussed with his five descendants and decided to temporarily hold the army, and wait for the master to leave before continuing the previous plan, and his subordinates found out that King De has secretly collected the remnants of Amu Gulang and Gessel for his own use, which is the specific situation of the power that King De has." With that, Dancing Shadow took out an envelope and presented it to Qingyun with both hands.
Chu Yunyi smiled like a mirror: "What you said and did today deeply shocked King De, he is jealous of you and the Jin Kingdom behind you. ”
"He'll judge the situation." There was a hint of sarcasm and clarity at the corners of her lips.
took the envelope, took out the letter paper and glanced at the contents on it, Qingyun put the envelope back and handed it to Wuying: "Give it to Wuyun personally, let her decide, after all, her clan is only left with King De, as for Master Puyin, he is a person outside the party, and he has no heirs, and he told Wuyun to send someone to protect the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that someone would assassinate him." ”
Although Tang Hesi has thoughts that he shouldn't have, he does have real talent and real learning, and Wuyun just took the throne and still needs his assistance, and he has just been taught a lesson and weakened his power, I believe that it should be somewhat restrained.
"Subordinates obey!"
Seeing that the dancing shadow wanted to speak and stopped, Qingyun Fox asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Wuying thought about it and said truthfully: "When the subordinates inquired about the news, they found the traces of the purple-clothed guards, and after inquiry, they learned that three hundred purple-clothed guards were hiding in Yecheng as early as a month ago on the orders of Yunfei, secretly protecting the safety of their masters. ”
"This Yunfei is really ......" Qingyun smiled and shook his head, but he was deeply moved in his heart: "That's it, tell them to listen to orders at any time." ”
"Yes!" The dancing shadow bowed respectfully and left.
Refilling Qingyun's teacup with tea, Mo Xuan said softly, "Yunfei is also worried about your safety. ”
"I know it." Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Qingyun looked in the direction of Jin Guo from afar: "I know that Dao Yunfei is a good intention, but I always have a bad premonition in my heart when I leave the capital this time, but I can't say what that feeling is, so I let the purple guard, the dragon shadow and the dark guard, and Situ Jingyu stay, just in case, after all, I have been away for a year, and I can't rest assured that my father and emperor will be there." ”
"There are three princes and tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards, as well as the 100,000 Xiao Guard Battalion and the Dragon Guardian Clan of Uncle Yiyong, the emperor will be fine, don't worry."
"I hope so."
Looking at the vast sky outside the window, the smiling people, Qingyun's voice was quiet and ethereal: "You say, power is really heavy?" ”
Mo Xuan's expression was slightly stunned: "It may be very important to some people." "He doesn't care about any power, he only cares about Xiyan.
"Some people chase power for the prosperity of their families, some people want to enjoy glory and wealth, some people want to trample under their feet those who once despised and hurt them, and some people want to protect those they care about." Chu Yunyi's eyes had an imperceptible gloom and loss: "Everything is different from person to person. ”
At the beginning, he was planning to compete for the throne, just to trample those who had hurt him and his mother under his feet, and after knowing and falling in love with Xiao Yun, he continued to fight for the throne, just to have a strong enough power to protect Xiao Yun and not let Xiao Yun be hurt in the slightest.
It's only that he didn't show his heart to Xiao Yun at that time, and then left for so long, so that Mo Xuan took advantage of the loophole.
"Varies from person to person?" There was a hint of deep and loneliness between Qingyun Meiyu: "The power of the Ninety-Five Venerable is indeed very great, so many people are trying their best to seize that position, but who can understand that the responsibilities and obligations of that position are heavier than Mount Tai?" Who can understand that once you sit in that seat, you will have too much involuntarily? ”
After listening to Qingyun's sigh, Chu Yunyi, who felt the same way, was silent, and a trace of pity and essence flashed in Mo Xuan's enchanting eyes.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the bright full moon rose to the sky early in the glow of the sky, a few bright stars blinked mischievously with the full moon, and the breeze brought a bit of coolness, and the noisy market gradually quieted down, and people rushed home to share the joy of family.
In the imperial garden of the Imperial Palace of the Zhou Kingdom.
The officials and their families above the fifth grade talked in a low voice, perhaps because of the day's events, and they all seemed a little restrained.
Qingyun's position was the first under the lord's throne, followed by the envoys of Chu, Liang and other countries, and below was the Zhou state's ministers and their families seated according to their positions.
Most of the harem concubines were frightened and did not attend, and the opposite position was advanced in turn, King De and a son and a grandson and several family members sat in the first position, then Shuolun and his wife and his sister-in-law Merasu, his concubine Erton, and then the generals and their families also sat in their respective positions according to their positions.
Elegantly drinking the snow condensation specially prepared by Mo Xuan, the corner of his eyes swept over King De's table intentionally or unintentionally, Qingyun's face was as calm as water, but the dark pupils were bottomless.
picked up a golden fruit and peeled it, then cut it into small pieces, picked up a piece with a bamboo skewer and fed it to Qingyun, Mo Xuan lowered his voice and said, "It seems that the fish has taken the bait." ”
"If the fish don't take the bait, how can we fish?" Qingyun's voice was also so low that only Mo Xuan could hear it: "It's just that I didn't expect the dark clouds to be so desperate." ”
Hearing the low mood in Qingyun's tone, Mo Xuan comforted: "As an emperor, if you don't have the mind and means to kill and decide, not only will you not be able to control the ministers, but you will also be coerced by the courtiers, and even your life will be at risk!" Even if you think carefully about everything, the key is still up to her, what do you say? ”
Qingyun nodded slightly.
