Chapter 129: Mo Wenxuan's suspicions
When the crown prince Mo Yuan and the seventh prince Mo Qi walked into the imperial study, they couldn't help but be startled when they saw Mo Wenxuan's undisguised ferocity and wanted to choose someone to devour.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
"Excuse me!"
"Thank you, Father!"
After the father and son saw the ceremony, Mo Wenxuan spoke directly.
"Why did my son come?"
The prince is the elder brother, so he answered first, and stood up and said that he woke up to know that there was turmoil in the capital last night, and there were gangsters who stormed the palace gate, although he was killed, but the impact was not small.
Therefore, he came early in the morning, first, to see if His Majesty was frightened, and second, to see if there was any place where he could serve.
Listening to the words of the crown prince Mo Yuan, Mo Wenxuan just nodded expressionlessly, and then asked his seventh prince to come.
And the Seventh Prince Mo Qi politely stepped forward and said that he had also heard what his subordinates had said, so he hurried to see Mo Wenxuan to see if Mo Wenxuan was frightened, and then said that he had brought an elixir that could nourish and calm the nerves. In the end, he said that he hadn't seen his mother for many days and wanted to go and see her.
After listening to the words of the second son, Mo Wenxuan asked the seventh prince to leave the medicine, waved him away, and went to the harem to see his biological mother.
Instead, he left the crown prince Mo Yuan.
"Has the prince been walking around with outsiders lately?"
The seemingly ordinary sentence suddenly lifted the hearts of the three Shangshu and the prince present. As for Prime Minister Wei Yan, he had already asked Mo Wenxuan to send someone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion before dawn.
"Back to my father, my son's ministers recently went to live in a manor outside the city because of a bad mood, and they came back before the scientific examination. I didn't walk around with outsiders. However, there are a few adults who want to find an errand for their relatives in the prince's mansion after the examination because they have relatives participating in the scientific examination, so they ask for the head of the son. ”
"Oh, that's right. You are the prince of the East Palace, although you are now outside the palace, your words and deeds represent the Mohai royal family, and I hope you will think twice about what you do, and don't be taken advantage of. Let's go down. ”
"Yes. The son thanked his father for mentioning it. ”
Although Mo Wenxuan nodded a few words without thinking, the criticism was not counted, but it really seemed to mention himself. This made Mo Yuan feel uncomfortable. But thinking that at this juncture, it is better not to make extraneous branches. Listening to my father's meaning, this is doubting his own people.
Also, last night's turmoil was too great.
It's not that the prince didn't hear the movement. But his prince's mansion was originally close to the palace, and although he moved out of the East Palace, because of his status as the prince, the East Palace still kept his things.
After all, Mo Wenxuan was old at the beginning, and he was still sick somewhat, and he was in charge of supervising the country at that time.
Last night, he was not in the Prince's Mansion, but stayed in the East Palace. He knew that he couldn't hide it from Mo Wenxuan, but above the main hall, there were some things that he couldn't say to outsiders, otherwise he would be visited by Yan Guan.
After all, he is not a young prince anymore, and staying in the palace in private will attract gossip.
But only when he slept in the East Palace did he feel that he still had a chance to sit on the throne, he was the crown prince of the dynasty and the heir to the throne!
This habit is what he has done every time he is about to be broken by Mo Wenxuan for many years, Mo Wenxuan knows it, and the people in the palace also know it. But no one pierced it.
When the crown prince left the imperial study, Mo Wenxuan's face sank.
He knew about the third Mo Yuan's stay in the palace last night. Every time the prince stayed in the palace, even if he Mo Wenxuan was seriously ill, someone would tell the prince's whereabouts, so he knew that the prince was telling the truth.
Since the crown prince is not suspicious, the seventh prince who came early in the morning to offer filial piety is very suspicious.
I brought him medicine, but I didn't stop to visit my mother?
When did his seventh prince Mo Qi become so hearty?
Since he left the palace and opened the palace, except for meeting his mother concubine when he entered the palace every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, he would not enter the palace on those festivals. is busy bribing ministers, recruiting troops and horses to compete with the third and fifth for the right to speak in the court, and his ambitions are not small. This time he actually came to say that he wanted to meet his mother?
Don't......
Mo Wenxuan thought of Song Minggong being arranged in the harem by himself, and thought of the last time Mu Tong was framed in the harem.
It seems that there are still too many rats in my harem. It's time to clean it up.
Guessing that the Seventh Prince Mo Qi was likely to be a betrayer, and after receiving the news from the palace and planning to take the opportunity to catch Song Minggong, Mo Wenxuan had to have an extra heart and invited Lao Ma to give a few orders.
"Old Seven, don't do anything stupid. It's not terrible to be ambitious, as long as you are within the rules, I will give you a chance, as long as you are ruthless and smart enough, it is not impossible to let you sit in this position. But if you are an enemy inside and outside, then don't worry about the relationship between father and son. ”
Mo Wenxuan, who was sitting in the hall, prayed secretly in his heart, but a little yellow door came to report, and Li Kuang, the prince of Zhenguo, asked to see him!
"Li Kuang, why is he here?"
Subconsciously, Mo Wenxuan read out loud.
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Li Kuang's second son, Li Xiu, was kidnapped by thieves last night. ”
"Oh, indeed, I almost forgot about it. Wasn't it just that I informed him last night? Why did you arrive now?"
"Well, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that when the Duke of Zhenguo heard that his youngest son was taken away, he felt sad and fell ill. Now that I have gotten better, I hurried to see Your Majesty. ”
In the end, it is the in-laws, Zhou Shang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and spoke for Li Kuangyuan.
Mo Wenxuan doesn't bother about this, after all, his son is lost, and if he accidentally doesn't get it right, he will "sacrifice his life for the country".
announced Li Kuang's visit, but as soon as Li Kuang entered the door, he directly scared the four monarchs and ministers.
At this time, Li Kuang's eyes were blank, his eyes were pitch black, and the bags under his eyes were swollen like goldfish. His hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Why is Li Aiqing like this, rest assured, I promise to send more manpower to rescue Ling Lang safely!"
When Mo Wenxuan saw Li Kuang like this, he thought that he was worried about his son's life, but he didn't expect that Li Kuang was afraid that he had been exposed, so he had been wandering in front of the palace gate, wandering around outside for almost half an hour, and finally almost scratched his scalp before he made up his mind to enter the palace.
This is because he saw that there was no forbidden army out of the palace to arrest people in the Zhenguo Mansion, so he decided to gamble.
Seeing that Mo Wenxuan really misunderstood that he was worried about his son's safety, Li Kuang immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, cried and fell to his knees, and begged Mo Wenxuan to give an order to let him personally lead the troops to search door to door, and he must rescue his son Li Xiu.
The cry was touching, and for a while, Mo Wenxuan was convinced, and agreed to Li Kuang's request.
At that moment, Zhou Shang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for drafting the holy decree, and gave Li Kuang a cheap search order.
Li Kuang knelt down and bowed nine times to thank him, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he was in high spirits at the moment.
Knowing that he had not yet been exposed, he hurried home to put on his armor and lead the soldiers out, and the first battle was to take over the military camp outside the city, and then prepare to carry out his great cause of searching and arresting!
And not long after Li Kuang was ordered to leave the palace and take over the camp outside the city, the military department Shangshu hurriedly broke into the palace and went straight to the imperial study!
