The next day, the Fifth and Seventh Princes led people to the frontier, and every morning was a nightmare for all officials.

However, what is surprising is that although the emperor has spoken a little incoherently, he can still understand the words, and his temper has become slightly better, at least it is no longer a situation of reporting good news and not bad news.

But this time, it was actually a group of princes who made the decision, basically the princes made decisions, and finally the emperor made a nod to agree, and the ministers were relieved to start, after all, there were princes who put forward opinions, and they were safer.

Mo Xuanyin, who was on the side, felt a little strange, because the emperor's eyes had become hollow, and even when he sat on the dragon chair, his body was still a little shaky and he couldn't sit steadily at any time, which made him a little puzzled.

Compared with the grumpy temper a few days ago, the current emperor is like a marionette, as if he is being controlled.

"Why is the emperor's performance a little different today? Could it be that he has been controlled? ”

Looking at the group of princes in front of him discussing, Mo Xuanyin felt an indescribable strangeness.

In the next two days, Mo Xuanyin carefully observed the emperor and found that he still looked lifeless, and even could only nod his head to sign, which made him feel that the dynasty had changed, and the problem was among these princes.

But the princes in front of him, in addition to the fifth prince and the seventh prince, there are at least several princes, which makes him a little difficult to distinguish.

But even if I know that it may be related to the prince, but after all, it is my father, the emperor, does the struggle that the royal family only see really have to reach this point?

"I think it's better to do that."

"No, there should be a Shangshu Department to do it..."

Looking at the princes, Mo Xuanyin still felt that there was no problem, it felt like the emperor was deliberately pretending, letting the princes deal with state affairs, and he listened to it on the sidelines.

The departure of the fifth prince and the seventh prince has proven that it has nothing to do with them, so the next thing is to look at who the emperor agrees with more, and basically the most suspicious person can already be determined.

An early dynasty, basically all the princes have it, but the suggestion of the six princes is the least, just when Mo Xuanyin thought that he was not suspicious, I saw the corners of his mouth raise an arc.

"He's just laughing?" Mo Xuanyin asked in his heart.

However, the Six Princes only seemed to express their emotions for a moment, and then regained their composure.

Just because of this smile, he felt that things were not so simple, but he had no evidence now, so he had to look at it first.

At this time, the sixth prince noticed that Mo Xuanyin was looking at him, and immediately glanced over, as if warning Mo Xuanyin.

Two days later, the Fifth and Seventh Princes, who had successfully controlled the water, had already rushed back, looking at them covered in mud, if they weren't still wearing brocade clothes, everyone would think they were refugees.

"Well, you're all doing a great job." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the emperor said something affirmative, the Seventh Prince immediately stood up and talked about what happened at that time.

When the two arrived at the border, they quarreled over how to deal with it, the fifth prince thought that a wall should be built to block the water, while the seventh prince thought that the flood should be channeled, but the fifth prince refused on the grounds that it took too much time and trouble, and when the seventh prince was admonishing, he was pressed back by the five princes by seniority, so he had to settle the refugees.

Sure enough, a few days later, the wall could not withstand the flooding, and even made the flooding worse.

This coincided with heavy rainfall, which made it even more difficult to control the water.

The Seventh Prince opened the bag that Mo Xuanyin gave him, which said that diversion and guidance were written, which made him suddenly realize.

So the Seven Princes led thousands of soldiers to dig rivers, and finally with the help of the people, they successfully opened three rivers and successfully controlled the flood.

After arranging the next things, the fifth prince and the seventh prince rushed back to receive the merit.

The emperor was very satisfied with this incident, and at this time, the seventh prince also smiled at Mo Xuanyin to express his gratitude.

However, all of this was seen by the six princes, and their expressions suddenly became cold.

"Seventh prince, it is said that you have contributed the most money this time, but you don't have so much money, it seems that you have looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, even if you take it out to treat the flood, it can't change your private bribery, come and serve!"

The Seventh Prince was stunned, why did he come back and be beaten after he had made a meritorious service?

The soldier immediately came over and pressed the Seventh Prince down, and then began to fight.

"Fifth prince, you have made meritorious contributions to water control this time, although you have not been able to catch it, but you have also done your best, and you deserve to be rewarded."

The fifth prince was also confused, originally thinking about how to deal with it, but he didn't expect that he hadn't said a few words, so he inexplicably rewarded himself, did pie fall from the sky?

"Emperor Xie!" The five princes thanked him verbally heavily, no matter how much he is, he will receive the reward first.

The Seventh Prince, who had received ten strokes of military sticks, was a little unwilling, but now he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, and he had to lead people to control the flood for a long time, and he had to rush back quickly, and now he was powerless to resist, and these ten military sticks made him faint on the spot.

Just when the emperor still felt unsatisfied, the sixth prince walked out: "Father, the seventh emperor brother is also a last resort, for the sake of the people, I have to make this decision, and please open the net." So saying, he knelt down.

Seeing that the prince expressed his position, the other princes also immediately stood up to speak for the seventh prince, except for the fifth prince who tasted the sweetness, he was still gloating.

"Okay, but let's take it with you." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to take him away.

Mo Xuanyin on the side, because of this scene, he already understood that all these things were related to the six princes.

However, the person in front of him was well hidden, and he didn't find a flaw until now, but let him discover himself, which made him a little careless.

After the end of the early dynasty, the princes also left, and the surrounding ministers discussed the verdict.

"Hey, you say, this time the Seven Princes are really wronged."

"Yes, I heard that in order to control this flood, the Seventh Prince took out the ancestral things out of the accident, and almost all the things that could be sold were bought, and it is estimated that the house is now about to be surrounded by four walls, and I also heard that someone secretly took out 10,000 taels to help him, it seems that this time, it is really a waste."

Mo Xuanyin didn't expect that there would be such a place, which made his plan messed up.

What's more, he spent 12,000 taels in vain in exchange for this result, which was the most unacceptable to him.

But fortunately, he also made two preparations, although the five princes were some... Stupid.

Because of this incident, many people already have opinions on the emperor, and it didn't even take long for it to spread outside the palace, and everyone was stunned when they heard it, some people were upset for the Seven Princes, but some people said that the Seven Princes took bribes privately, and they deserved it, and the reviews were different for a while.

However, Mo Xuanyin understood that the biggest beneficiary this time was the Six Princes.

not only used this incident to greatly weaken the strength of the five princes and the seventh prince, but also stigmatized the emperor, and even slowly changed the direction of the dynasty, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

However, on his side, he suffered from no evidence, and even was discovered by the other party, so it is estimated that the next target is himself.

"Well, it looks like it's time to need help."

Mo Xuanyin came to the mansion of the fifth prince, but when he entered the door, he found that the sixth prince walked out inside, so he changed his route to the mansion of the seventh prince, but was told that the seventh prince was still unconscious and could not meet him.

Walking on the street, Mo Xuanyin couldn't help but sigh at the methods of the six princes, as soon as this matter ended, he sent someone to cut off his own back road, it seems that he is determined to do himself.

Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, Mo Xuanyin's worries came true.

"Shizi, I have already heard about the control of the flood, and the method of the Seven Princes is instructed by you, right?" The emperor asked.

Faced with the emperor's question, Mo Xuanyin had no choice but to admit it, and the six princes on the side sneered, because he knew that the six princes were ready.

"In that case, I want to open a river, starting from the vicinity of the capital, I don't know what you think?"

The emperor's words made the ministers in the audience feel inappropriate, and they persuaded one after another: "Your Majesty, opening up the river will cost the people and money, and it will be protracted and time-consuming, so please consider it in the long run." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the officers and soldiers have just come back not long ago, and now they are going to open the river again, which is really inappropriate."

At this time, other princes also felt that some strongmen were difficult, and they came out to advise, but the emperor had already made up his mind, "Opening up the river is to facilitate travel, why is it bad to work and lose money for a while?" There is no need to discuss this matter again! After saying that, he slapped the table and shocked everyone.

"Your Majesty." Mo Xuanyin saluted.

Everyone suddenly looked at him with puzzled expressions, feeling like they were looking at fools.

Subsequently, the news that Mo Xuanyin agreed to repair the river spread, and everyone scolded him, not only because of the loss of labor and money, but more importantly, he who has always been wise actually fell to the emperor's side, which makes people sigh.

For those rumors, Mo Xuanyin didn't have the heart to pay attention to them, after all, only he agreed to the palace, and the emperor talked about water control at that time, and he should let him repair the river later, so that the method of suppressing himself and supporting himself is estimated to be only thought of by the six princes.

On the other side, Gu Xiqian listened to what had happened recently, and suddenly couldn't sit still and wanted to go out for a walk, but when she just went out, she found something unusual.

A familiar figure walked in front of him, and Gu Xiqian immediately remembered that it was the person who attacked him last time in the Taoist temple, but this time he changed his clothes, and his hair covered part of his face, but from the scar he vaguely exposed, it could be seen that he was not wrong.

Seeing him walk a little staggeringly, Gu Xiqian felt a little strange, so he quietly followed.
