Chapter Twenty-Nine: Turning Old
Mo Rong's sentence "not orthodox enough" is a fact, but no one dares to say it directly. Playing as a child, he and Mo Yanyang depended on each other, his mother died early, and his father also died on the battlefield, they themselves are imperial nephews, so they get the greatest love and mercy from their uncle who is the emperor, and all kinds of treatment and titles are no different from the real princes and princesses. It's very different from other imperial nephews.
Even the rare smile that the first emperor showed to Mo Chang and the others was often shown to them.
However, there is one difference, no matter how long they live in the palace, their home is in the palace outside the palace.
When the first emperor died, except for Mo Chang in the north, the sons of the first emperor were there; Other nephews, yes. But at that time, the queen mother, who had the power to abolish the establishment, chose Mo Rong. Not only because her old man has always had a good relationship with Mo Rong and Mo Yanyang, but also because she became the emperor, she couldn't get another queen to compete with.
Although the Queen Mother now lives in the deep palace and does not show up, she is a truly powerful person in Chengguo. The Queen Mother's most beloved and dearest person now has become Mo Hui. Sometimes, even Mo Rong himself has doubts about Li Mo Hui as the prince - after Mo Hui becomes the crown prince, he and Yanyang may be precarious, and they may be eliminated at any time, the crown prince Mo Hui sits on the dragon chair, and the queen mother is completely in charge.
Yes, because in the eyes of many people, Mo Hui is more orthodox than himself.
Therefore, it is not so much the "disobedience" of a group of old ministers that prevented Mo Hui from being made the crown prince, but rather that Mo Rong's own inner doubts are the real obstacles.
Mo Yanyang looked at him now, and Hou Cong also looked at him, but instead of getting angry, he laughed, "General Xiao Hou knew that he was going to be protected by the media when he entered the palace, but he still came, I'm afraid I have something to say to me, right?" ”
"The emperor is wise. Have you heard about Her Royal Highness the princess putting her subordinate captain Yuwen Bai on death row? ”
"I've heard a little."
Mo Yanyang looked at his brother for a while at this time, and looked at his sweetheart for a while.
Hou Cong then explained, "The emperor knows that this woman is extremely important to his subordinates, and his subordinates don't want her to die, nor do they want her to live as a death row prisoner, or as a criminal minister. Please order the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of the Bai family back then! ”
Mo Rong smiled even more happily, "You entered the palace just to refuse to marry my sister, and then let me help your sweetheart and family rehabilitate?" Sunny sun, you're really good at picking people. ”
Hou Cong didn't pay attention to Mo Yanyang's complaining eyes at all, but looked at Mo Rong more confidently, "Your Majesty, why is Mo Chang more orthodox than Mo Rong?" Aren't you all the grandsons of Emperor Ruizong of your country? ”
Mo Rong let out an "oh", "Because it was the emperor's uncle who inherited the throne of Emperor Ruizong, not my father. ”
Hou Cong pushed Mo Yanyang away and took a step closer towards the dragon chair, "Exactly." If the Bai family's affairs are unjust, why is the former emperor of your country more legitimate than the former king who died for the country? Your ascension to the throne, Your Majesty, is tantamount to setting things right! ”
Mo Rong pondered for a while.
"Brother." Mo Yanyang shouted, and she forgot to call Mo Rong "Imperial Brother" again. She wanted to say something, but Mo Rong waved her hand to stop her.
Mo Rong asked Hou Cong, "Do you want me to cooperate with you?" ”
Hou Cong knelt down on one leg, "The subordinates are soft-spoken, where are they worthy of cooperating with you." The subordinates are just asking you for a favor with one thing that is beneficial to you. In addition, the subordinates are also willing to be your eagle dogs in this matter. You can trust your subordinates' ability to handle cases and their determination to find out the truth fairly and impartially. Because this is beneficial to his subordinates, and at the same time, re-examining the old cases will affect the intertwined forces of the old family of Chengguo, and I am afraid that no one will dare to take this errand except for the outsider of his subordinates. “
Mo Rong lowered his head completely, looked at his black velvet embroidered dragon boots that revealed a pale yellow dragon robe, and stopped talking.
After a moment, he looked up, "Yes, but the organizer must be Sunny Sun." ”
Mo Yanyang took a step back, knelt on the ground side by side with Hou Cong and kowtowed, "Obey!" ”
Changkong and the others waited outside the Guifeng Palace, watching Mo Yanyang and Hou Cong come out together, the princess smiled proudly, and her master looked like ice and snow. Mo Yanyang happily fought, "General Xiaohou, let's go back and discuss how to get it?" ”
Hou Cong took a step back and stood farther away from her, "This is all in the palace, Your Highness doesn't go to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace, okay?" ”
Mo Yanyang took two more steps closer to him, "Then you wait for me?" Why don't you go with me to her old man's house to say goodbye? ”
"Let's talk about it later, I'll wait for you when I go back to the house, and it's the same."
"Good!" The princess blew away like a gust of wind.
Changkong, Dugu Zheng and Yuan immediately followed Hou Cong, wanting to ask some inside information, and they minded following the little eunuch who saw him off. After holding back for a long time, he walked out of the palace, exhaled in unison, and began to ask questions.
Hou Cong didn't say anything, got on the horse and walked for a long time, and when they couldn't ask any more questions, he told the news that Mo Rong agreed to re-investigate the Bai family's old case, "On the one hand, no matter what the will of our new emperor comes, we are temporarily the ones who work for the emperor of Chengguo, not idlers, and it is more convenient to move around." On the other hand, this incident will make Mo Rong loosen our position on Mo Chang's accession to the throne. What's more, the white clothes may be forced out by me. Not only that, we accepted the will of the first emperor and sent him back to Mochang, not to send him to be the emperor, but to send him back to disturb the political situation of Chengguo. There is nothing more disruptive to the political situation of the country than to investigate a case from 10 years ago. As long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter if he wields Mo Chang's sword or not. ”
"The eldest prince is wise!" Changkong and the other three shouted.
Hou Cong glanced at the three people on the horse with a cold face, "That being said, the biggest reason for us to stay in Chengguo is Mo Chang, if he dies suddenly, everything will be over." Don't think that Mo Rong is a simple person, and don't think that in addition to doing it at the Buddha Bathing and Humiliation Ceremony, he will be idle and play in front of him, and then give us a good life. Now that the white clothes are hidden, the task of Changkong is heavier, so it is better to guard Mo Chang and let him survive! ”
"Yes!" Changkong said.
He thought more in his heart than he said.
Hou Cong took three lieutenants and four noble sons to ride on horseback, and the splendid years were infinitely beautiful. But no one spoke again. Changkong was also different than usual, silent not like him.
Changkong misses his sister too much, worries about his sister too much, and can't suppress his cranky thoughts, why are these people around him so dead-eyed? Bai Yi is Mo Chang's substitute for the dead, even if he gets rid of his reputation after being a criminal minister, and finds it back, won't he die?
Along the way, everyone finally decided to save Baiyi, but they never thought of a suitable way, didn't they?
Isn't it the other way around? If there is no need to save Mo Chang again, then Bai Yi does not need to die instead!
Sky didn't tell anyone about this idea. Not even Hou Cong.
When the group returned to the princess's mansion, he followed Hou Cong to greet Mo Chang, and listened to Hou Cong pick up the main thing that happened in the morning.
Of course, when it comes to investigating the Bai family, the motive is "for the white clothes".
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard became lively. Mo Yanyang came back with a bang, chattered into the side courtyard, and arrived at Mo Chang's room, saying that he wanted to drink to celebrate, and said that he wanted to discuss how to investigate, and he was very excited.
She is not stupid, when it comes to the benefits of investigating the old case of the Bai family, she uses "purging the old ones." ”
Mo Chang looked at Hou Cong with a smile and was silent.
Hou Cong smiled at Mo Yanyang, "It's natural to drink and celebrate, can you invite His Royal Highness Yang Xian to join us?" “
"Yes, my brother is here together, it's good." The princess casually agreed.
Hou Cong looked at Mo Chang at this time, "Do you remember our appointment with Slender Waist Lake?" ”
Mo Chang nodded, "You and I have the Old Testament, rain or shine." ”
Mo Yanyang complied with the wishes of the two people, and instructed the chief historian to book a boat for the night at Slender Waist Lake on the spot, and a bunch of people left again.
They went on an errand to discuss the investigation. This has nothing to do with Mo Chang, who has no right to participate in practice. After everyone left his house and his yard, the surroundings fell silent. Mo Chang said that he was going to rest, "Today is particularly difficult, Ling Xiao Cuizhu went to the big kitchen to watch and make some light lunch, and I will eat it when I wake up." ”
"Yes." Cuizhu Lingxiao retreated.
Mo Chang changed his calm and gentle style, and ran impatiently behind the screen.
A delicate, beautiful, scarred girl was waiting for him there.
White.
