Chapter 343: The Little Prince of the Deep Palace 40
The construction of King Zhao's Mansion has not yet begun, and Mo Zhao and Lu Mian continue to live in the General's Mansion.
However, with the emperor's consent, Mo Zhao could go to the early court the next day. Because he was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, the emperor also allowed Mo Zhao to bring two entourages into the palace with him.
Mo Zhao chose Gan Yi and Gan Er, who had been by his side for many years.
In recent years, the emperor has favored Concubine Shu, and even favored Mo Jiaze.
Since Mo Zhao was deposed as the crown prince that year, the emperor has not appointed a new prince.
In recent years, the ministers have the highest prestige in supporting Mo Jiaze as the crown prince.
In addition to Mo Jiaze, there is also the third prince Mo Shuoming who has also grown up.
Although Mo Shuoming's biological mother Concubine Liang is not as favored as Concubine Shu, Concubine Liang's father is the prime minister of the dynasty and has a high and powerful position, even if it is the emperor, he has to give him some face.
Over the years, Mo Jiaze and Mo Shuoming have been harmonious on the surface for the position of the prince, but in fact, they have fought openly and secretly, and the situation is turbulent.
However, regarding the fact that Mo Zhao was able to go to the court, the two couldn't help but reach a consensus - Mo Zhao must not be allowed to appear in the court for a long time!
Even if Mo Zhao is a cripple!
Among the hundreds of civil and military officials, some officials have quietly stood in line.
Under the secret orders of Mo Jiaze and Mo Shuoming, when they were in the last court, those officials frequently dug holes for Mo Zhao, thinking that Mo Zhao would make a fool of himself and make the emperor disappointed in him, and then drove Mo Zhao out of the court.
However, these people's plans are doomed to failure.
Mo Zhao has not slackened for a day over the years.
Although unlike other princes, there were Taifu teachings, but every tutor Chen Yong invited to him was a famous Confucian.
What's more, Mo Zhao is accompanied by Lu Mian, who has been the empress for decades.
It can be said that Mo Zhao's talent and knowledge are not lower than Mo Jiaze and Mo Shuoming. If Mo Zhao is allowed to get out of the examination room, not to mention the champion, there will definitely be his name in the top three.
It stands to reason that in the face of the difficulties of those officials, Mo Zhao looked at ease and answered fluently.
When the head of the household department threw the recent 'how to deal with the flood in Beicheng', a big problem that had plagued the emperor for several days, to Mo Zhao, Mo Zhao said several plans, and even the emperor was stunned when he heard it, and his mouth was full of amazements.
Not only that, but when faced with other problems, Mo Zhao also made a surprise move, and after three times, even those officials had to obey Mo Zhao's mind.
Originally, everyone wanted to dig a pit for Mo Zhao to jump down and bury himself at the bottom of the pit, but they didn't expect it to become Mo Zhao's stepping stone in the end.
The officials who originally wanted to make things difficult for Mo Zhao had to act cautiously, for fear that it would have the opposite effect as before.
They coaxed, but Mo Zhao didn't coax.
Since he told the emperor that day that he wanted to enter the court, Mo Zhao never thought about hibernating.
He endured it for eight whole years, and it was enough.
Even if those officials don't make it difficult for him, Mo Zhao will take the initiative to speak up when the emperor is discussing state affairs, trying to prove himself.
The emperor insisted on letting Mo Zhao go to court despite the opposition of his ministers before, but it was only because he promised Mo Zhao that day, how could the emperor of a country be untrustworthy. In fact, in his heart, the emperor was not very hopeful about Mo Zhao.
As a result, he didn't expect that Mo Zhao not only solved his problem as soon as he went to court, but also surprised him one after another.
Mo Zhao also said some ways of doing business to the emperor, similar to 'hunger marketing' and 'hype sales'.
These are all things that Lu Mian told him, and the two of them seem to have stayed at home in the General's Mansion all these years, but in fact, they have done a lot of things secretly in private.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the money earned by the two of them by sending people to open shops and restaurants over the years has almost caught up with the national treasury.
The emperor also has his own private treasury.
Mo Zhao said this to the emperor to let him know that he could not only share the emperor's worries in political affairs, but also bring the emperor countless ways to make money in private.
The emperor sent someone to implement it, and the effect was remarkable in a short period of time, and the originally empty private treasury had a lot of money.
The emperor was both happy and shocked.
For a while, even the emperor could not control his love for Mo Zhao.
All kinds of rewards were sent to the general's palace with Mo Zhao after the next dynasty, and the emperor would often leave Mo Zhao after the next dynasty, and call him to the imperial study to discuss some troublesome government affairs in private. Of course, the two discussed more about how to make money.
Day by day, the emperor's love for Mo Zhao is obvious.
Even if any minister wants to ridicule Mo Zhao or ridicule Mo Zhao in the court, he will be angrily scolded back by the emperor.
Because of Mo Zhao's outstanding ability, the emperor also gave Mo Zhao a lot of real power, which was a treatment that other princes had never had before when they were favored.
Mo Zhao was in the limelight for a while.
What's more, rumors that the emperor wants to re-establish Mo Zhao as the crown prince have also quietly flowed out.
These civil and military officials don't know that the reason why the emperor favors Mo Zhao so blatantly is because Mo Zhao is a disabled person, and he has no foundation in the court, so the emperor dares to hold him with such fanfare.
If Mo Zhao's legs could stand up, then the emperor would not have this attitude.
But those officials didn't know that when they were in the limelight, several officials quietly showed favor to Mo Zhao, revealing that they had the intention of following Mo Zhao.
For these overtures, Mo Zhao neither agreed nor refused, and he didn't know about the dress.
The person he wants must be capable, intelligent, and loyal to him. These current favors are not within the scope of Mo Zhao's consideration.
Mo Zhao continued to act in a high-profile manner, taking advantage of the emperor's connivance with him, and the emperor who was doing his best on the surface had actually begun to secretly gather contacts in the court, and by the way, he also promoted and installed his own henchmen in various positions.
The things Mo Zhao did were silent.
Everyone only saw the emperor's favor for him and his high efficiency, and did not notice his secret small movements.
However, Rao is like this, Mo Jiaze and Mo Shuoming can't stand Mo Zhao being in the limelight alone.
Mo Shuoming is okay, his patience is higher than Mo Jiaze.
And Mo Jiaze has been spoiled by Concubine Shu and the emperor over the years, and in his heart, he has even decided that he is the next prince.
For Mo Zhao, an obstacle that had been eliminated and suddenly reappeared, he couldn't bear it.
The only person who can make Mo Jiaze speak freely is Concubine Shu besides his henchmen.
Mo Jiaze said angrily: "Mother, I really can't stand it!" Now everyone is praising that cripple, even my father praises him every day! You don't know that the way he looked at me when he was in the court today, he was obviously a cripple who couldn't stand up, and when he saw that I didn't say hello, he just laughed at me, and clearly looked down on me. I must get rid of him! ”
