Chapter 151: Centrifugation of Monarchs and Ministers
Hearing this, Mo Cangwuji suddenly made a "bang" in his head, and then he was stunned, and his body knelt on the ground softly, his eyes were shining, as if he was shining with tears.
Suddenly, his brain was hot, and he straightened up and said hoarsely: "Father! You say that, it's really the heart of Zhu Erchen! Since you banned the politics of the sons, the sons have been meditating on themselves in the house every day, and the sons deeply feel that what they have done is worthy of themselves, and they are ashamed of their father's hope for the sons. Thinking that one day I can get my father's forgiveness and solve problems for my father, and other disobedient thoughts, my son will definitely not dare to have it! ”
"Don't dare? What would you do that you wouldn't dare? Relying on his own power, even his own brother dares to oppress, what else do you dare not do? Today you are a small offense to me, and tomorrow you will dare to put a knife on my neck! ”
Seeing his pretentious expression, the anger in Emperor Mocang's heart rose again and again, and the two tiger eyes opened as hard as they could, almost falling out of their cramped eyes.
Listening to what the monarch said, I still heard the roar of the tiger. Mo Wuji's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and he savored what his father said, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.
Could it be that his father already knew that he had done the prince's business? No.
After Mo Cang Wuji felt a little weak, he suddenly remembered something. He immediately slammed his head on the ground and pleaded guilty: "Father's anger, father's anger!" Erchen knows that he is wrong! Erchen really knew that he was wrong! ”
Emperor Mo Cang was so angry that he coughed a few times, his face was pale, Qiu Neiguan was panicked, and immediately put away the dust and stepped forward, patting him on the back while painstakingly comforting him.
Admit your mistakes first, and then show your loyalty: "Erchen knows that he has done some foolish things, but it is all caused by the impulse of Erchen, Erchen always remembers the teachings of his father, and brothers should be in harmony with each other and help each other in the same boat, and Erchen has not forgotten." I also hope that my father will forgive my son's mistakes for the sake of his son's efforts to find his fourth brother! ”
Qiu Neiguan said slowly in the monarch's ear: "Your Majesty, the regent has already known his mistakes, you can forgive him for the sake of the crown prince's face!" ”
It's not that he has the intention to exonerate the regent, after all, the matter of the regent sending people to make trouble in the dust mansion is really a bit excessive, he thinks about the monarch's poor body, and he can't bear to see the monarch angry because of the regent, and he is anxious to let the regent leave.
Seeing this, Mo Cang Wuji immediately got up to pour tea, and then carefully handed it to his father, but he never dared to raise his head. The tea stalled in the palm of his hand for a moment, and finally Qiu Neiguan went to pick it up.
Then, he respectfully knelt back to his original position, maintained a long bowing movement, buried his head on the ground, and did not dare to make a sound.
The entire hall was extremely quiet, and only the sound of Emperor Mocang snorting tea could be heard.
"Since my father-in-law pleaded, I will spare you this time. But you have to remember that I am looking at the face of the prince. He is your fourth brother, and you are responsible for his safety! Emperor Mocang took a few breaths and calmed down.
Hearing such words, Mo Cangwuji was not grateful in his heart, but jumped like thunder, gritted his teeth, and thanked: "Son, thank you for your father's favor!" Son! Thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The father's teachings, the sons and ministers remember. ”
After knocking, Emperor Mocang didn't speak anymore, and began to lie on the couch under the service of Qiu Neiguan.
Mo Cangwuji's eyes raised slightly, and when he saw his father's face calm, he was about to say something: "Father......"
Unexpectedly, his father suddenly said lightly: "It's getting late, you should retire early!" ”
"Father, now that the border war is tense, the fourth brother has suffered another disaster, and there must be a lot of government affairs in the court, the son implores his father to temporarily pardon the son and let the son enter the court, and share the ......worries for you," Mo Cang Wuji insisted on pleading in a low voice.
He really didn't change his mind, Emperor Mocang frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "No need, although the crown prince has disappeared, the East Palace is still there, and the East Palace officials can still help me manage the government." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Neiguan's eyebrows darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at the monarch, feeling a little surprised in his heart.
Mocang Wuji suddenly had nothing to say, what he didn't expect was that the East Palace was already ownerless, and his father still refused to hand over government affairs to him, which was understandable in the past, but now he is also the regent of Mocang, specializing in helping the monarch assist the government. Now that there are internal and external troubles, it is the time to be on duty, how can he, the regent, be in name only?
Thinking of this, he was really unwilling, and continued: "Although the East Palace official can manage the government, but after all, he has no backbone, and the government is like a plate of loose sand, and the son, as the regent, should be loyal and responsible for his father and the court at this critical juncture, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by outsiders!" ”
From his words, Emperor Mocang could obviously hear a hint of threat, and he was a little displeased, and immediately asked, "Are you questioning the ability of the East Palace, or are you questioning me?" ”
Mo Cang Wuji explained: "Erchen doesn't dare. ”
"Humph! It's better not to dare! Emperor Mocang snorted coldly and warned: "You remember, the fact that the crown prince is missing does not mean that the East Palace does not exist!" If the prince does not return to the East Palace for a day, the position of the prince will remain unchanged for a day! ”
Qiu Neiguan closed his eyes, only to feel that he smelled the slightest smell of gunpowder, and he was afraid that there would be waves again, so he immediately walked to the regent's side and persuaded him: "Regent, please!" ”
His father's words were like a thunderbolt, and he was suddenly forced to have nothing to say, and his cold body suddenly stiffened, as if it was connected with the earth.
With the support of Qiu Neiguan, Mo Cangwuji got up like a puppet, and his face was full of discouragement. Savoring what his father said, he felt a little ridiculous, his father wanted to tell him that even if Mo Cang died without a trace, the position of the crown prince would not be his, and he didn't even think about the position of the prince! Huaxiu Chinese
After just walking a few steps, he paused, turned around and bowed to his father: "My son retires, may my father be healthy." ”
The tone was faint, and there was no trace of emotion.
After speaking, he slowly raised his head and glanced at his father, who didn't seem to hear it, closed his eyes, and didn't even bother to throw a look at him.
"Regent, please!"
In his ears, Qiu Neiguan urged again, he breathed a sigh of relief, his cold eyes, no longer looked around, holding a heavy robe, and stepped out of the Chenghui Hall step by step.
"Your Majesty, is Fang just too harsh on the eldest prince? The old slave is only afraid of ......," Qiu Neiguan said hesitantly.
Emperor Mocang closed his eyes, his face was a little silent, and said, "What is his mind, how can I not know?" When I said those words today, I wanted to cut off his thoughts that he shouldn't have! ”
Qiu Neiguan lowered his head, a little puzzled, thinking that the ban on government was already a big warning to the regent, how could he suddenly rush to throw him such a big warning now?
A few days ago, the matter of the regent sending a large person to make trouble in the dust mansion accidentally reached the ears of the monarch, and today the monarch also uses this matter to rebuke the regent. But think about it, the second prince has always been unfavored, let alone valued by the monarch, and the monarch does not need to be angry with a prince who is not favored.
It's a bit puzzling. Temporarily rescuing his thoughts, he responded: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the old slave feels that after this incident, the eldest prince may really realize his mistake. Your Majesty is no longer angry because of the affairs of the eldest prince, the eldest prince is as young and vigorous as the prince, and it is inevitable that there will be confusion when talking and doing things, Your Majesty is the king and the father, and you have to bear the pressure brought by the people of the world, and you have to worry about the children under your knees day and night, seeing Your Majesty like this, the old slave is really a little distressed......"
As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his shirt, his voice was a little low, and he continued: "I hope Your Majesty thinks more about your own body, if the prince knows that you have trouble sleeping for him, he will definitely be sad." ”
Emperor Mocang patted the back of his father-in-law's hand and said slowly: "I know my father-in-law's hard work, you don't have to be sad for me anymore, I am very good......"
The mouth is as if nothing happened, but the face is worried. Seeing the monarch like this, Qiu Neiguan was even more uneasy in his heart: "Your Majesty is like this, how can you call an old slave?" ”
With his old eyes, he tried to comfort: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the most noble bloodline of the Mocang royal family, and he has a golden light on his forehead as soon as he was born. Yes? ”
Emperor Mo Cang nodded silently and didn't say a word, and the whole person looked extremely tired.
Seeing this, Qiu Neiguan didn't speak anymore, and sighed secretly, adding a little old to his old eyebrows. Just as he was about to retreat, he remembered Fang Cai in his heart, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop, and when he was entangled, his ears suddenly rang.
"Father-in-law, is there anything else to say?"
He immediately moved around and expressed the doubts in his heart: "Has Your Majesty really decided to temporarily hand over government affairs to the East Palace for the time being?" ”
"For now, that's all it can be. Mrs. Li is pure-minded, leave it to him, and I will feel at ease. Emperor Mo Cang closed his eyes and said, his voice a little weak.
Qiu Neiguan nodded: "Your Majesty has made a decision, and the old slave will draw up the decree earlier." ”
It's not that he questioned Taifu's ability, but that since the monarch has made this decision, it means that there will be no early dynasty in the middle of the court for a long time, which seems to reduce the burden on the monarch, but in fact it is more likely to aggravate the monarch's condition, which will not be a good sign.
After retiring, Qiu Neiguan left the Chenghui Hall with a heavy heart. After leaving the temple gate and passing through the corridor, I didn't take a few steps before some voices came in my ears.
"I said, this great prince's mind is really unpredictable! actually took the initiative to enter the palace for the prince's affairs, is it true that the truth is seen in adversity? Among the flowers, a maidservant smacked her tongue.
"Behold! This is obviously a cat crying mouse fake mercy, I heard that the disappearance of the prince has nothing to do with the eldest prince! The other maid said incredulously.
"You can't talk nonsense! Although the eldest prince and the crown prince are mortal enemies, how can he have the courage to do such a thing as kidnapping the prince? The first eunuch was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Qiu Neiguan seemed to understand something, and he was afraid that these words had already reached the ears of the monarch, and the monarch was very suspicious, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be suspicious of the regent.
He snorted coldly: "Talking about the government in vain, don't you want to die?" ”
A group of people were so frightened that they knelt down again and again, did not dare to raise their heads, and begged for mercy: "Father-in-law spares his life......"
"You'd better keep my mouth shut! If I hear some more gossip, I'll have to tear his mouth! ”
Qiu Neiguan reprimanded him very harshly, and then swept away the floating dust and left.
