The emperor sighed, his face was helpless, and he spoke earnestly, looking like he was persuading Xiao Mohan, but in fact, his heart was full of joy.

"The younger brother just can't get used to him, the royal brother knows that the younger brother has always been stubborn, and it is difficult to change the things that he recognizes, so about the matter of the left minister, the imperial brother still don't ask the younger brother, and the younger brother's evaluation of him may be biased."

Xiao Mohan said very firmly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of anger, so it seemed that he was making trouble unreasonably, which made the emperor gradually let down his guard.

"I know this matter in my heart, how did the central government investigate the detailed things?"

The emperor bowed slightly, and as soon as he spoke, he suddenly mentioned this, and Xiao Mohan's mood stabilized.

"Yang Guo's meticulous work is very cunning, it has not appeared during this period of time, and there is no movement on the left minister's side, so the minister feels that the left minister should be deliberately covering up, so he will push the boat down the river and help Shao Huaigu as the right minister, the purpose is to dispel the doubts in the imperial brother's heart, so that we no longer doubt him."

Xiao Mohan remained silent, not thinking about Ouyang Kun at all, this explanation is also in line with the emperor's wishes.

"So you still think that Ouyang Kun has something to do with Yang Guo's fine work?" The emperor pondered in his heart, raised his eyes suddenly, and glanced at Xiao Mohan, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Xiao Mohan, but when it came to Shen Yun, they were not as good as Xiao Mohan.

"Not bad." Xiao Mohan made no secret of it, and said it categorically, although there was no evidence, but he was so sure, as long as he believed in something, it seemed that he didn't need any evidence.

"Since Xiao Mohan wants to use Shao Huaigu to cover himself and clear his suspicions, then I might as well follow his wishes, the future will be long, and Shao Huaigu will become a stumbling block for him sooner or later."

The emperor was secretly happy in his heart, since Xiao Mohan and Ouyang Kun were so disagreeable, then he was relieved, in fact, he also felt that Shao Huaigu was good, although he didn't sit in the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple for a long time, but in terms of intelligence, he could still be qualified for the position of right minister.

Regardless of whether what Xiao Mohan said is true or not, the emperor is sure that Shao Huaigu will be in his pocket, the emperor has probed Shao Huaigu's tone, and he has also sent someone to investigate behind his back, Shao Huaigu has no dealings with Ouyang Kun, and he has even joined forces with ministers to impeach Ouyang Kun, so it should be difficult for these two people to get together.

"Brother Huang is wise." Xiao Mohan arched his hand, there was no superfluous look on his face, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, although he was respectful, but there was no shortage of unruliness in his bones.

"It's just that I don't understand, even if Xiao Mohan wants to clear his suspicion, he doesn't have to take dangerous moves, in case Shao Huaigu's scourge can't be eradicated in the future, wouldn't he be making trouble for himself?"

The emperor changed his words and hesitated again, although the emperor won the previous nine sons and sat on the throne, but this does not mean that the emperor has the talent to govern the country, so in the face of the situation in the DPRK and China, the emperor's approach is inevitably indecisive and too petty.

"Brother Huang, forgive my brother for being blunt, Ouyang Kun's confidence has always been given by you, you rely on him, he recruited a lot of staff behind his back, and also made friends with many ministers, and Shao Huaigu became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, neither family background nor good ministers, and when this limelight passes, with Ouyang Kun's strength, it is easy to eradicate Shao Huaigu, so naturally there is nothing to worry about."

Xiao Mohan explained the truth, although he has not been in the government and the opposition for a long time, he knows the situation in the DPRK and China well, which also just reminded the emperor.

"You're right, even if Shao Huaigu becomes the right minister, he has no foundation, and Ouyang Kun has a deep foundation, and it is not a problem to pull Shao Huaigu down from the position of the right minister, when the time comes, he will use Shao Huaigu to solve his urgent needs, and use his power to suppress Shao Huaigu, and the benefits will really be taken by him."

The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his expression was a little solemn, Xiao Mohan's gaze crossed the emperor's face, leaving no trace, and it was not noticeable at all.

It seems that although the emperor has Ouyang Kun among them on the surface, he has actually been guarding against Ouyang Kun, the emperor is cold by nature, sensitive and suspicious, this was the case when he was young, and now he is in a high position, and he is often prepared for danger in times of peace, so none of the ministers of the court and the central government can really get the emperor's trust.

Xiao Mohan, as the only prince in the court, still only has the title of general, it stands to reason that he is the prince, and the emperor should have planned to be titled and canonized him in a beautiful manner, but until today, he has no title, so people outside call him General Xiao, and no one calls him a prince.

In fact, the emperor also knew this matter in his heart for a long time, he deliberately did not give Xiao Mohan a title, that is, he was suppressing Xiao Mohan, so as not to let Xiao Mohan's achievements be high, and he was blessed by the royal family, and when the time came, he was afraid that his status would surpass him.

And Xiao Mohan has always known the emperor's intentions, so over the years, he has never mentioned this matter to the emperor, every time someone in the court mentions it, he will quietly lead the conversation, he doesn't care about the identity of "prince" at all, he just wants to protect the people he cares about, what status is just a passing thing.

"So if you want to contain Ouyang Kun, you have to let him be a cocoon and bind himself, if Shao Huaigu really becomes the right minister, with the support of the imperial brother, Ouyang Kun wants to pull Shao Huaigu down from the right minister's position, but it will be difficult."

Xiao Mohan followed the emperor's words and continued to remind that the emperor is not stupid, and this layer of stakes can naturally be thought of, so Xiao Mohan just said what the emperor thought.

"I understand everything, I will act when I see the opportunity, and it is really a blessing for me to be such an imperial brother as you."

There was a smile on the emperor's face, but from the point of view, this smile was faintly sinister, and anyone could say nice things, but actions could not deceive people.

"The royal brother has won the award, and the younger brother just did what he should do, which is nothing."

Xiao Mohan spoke lightly, without taking the emperor's words to heart at all, and there was a mixture of light and darkness in his deep eyes.

"If it weren't for you all these years, I'm afraid that the central country would have called over a long time ago, I can sit on this throne, you are indispensable, your merits, I will remember it in my heart, you will always be my most important brother."

The emperor couldn't help but sigh, but in Xiao Mohan's opinion, this kind of exclamation was just a scene play, over the years, he had heard too many of the emperor's words, so he didn't have any waves in his heart.

"The younger brother understands in his heart, please rest assured that the younger brother will throw his head for Xiao Guo, spill his blood, and smear his liver and brain, and he will not hesitate to do so."

Xiao Mohan's face did not change, although he was in the center of the emperor's table, but there was always a little disdain in his bones, he was loyal to Xiao Guo, and it had nothing to do with the emperor, not because of the emperor, but because of the Li people of Xiao State, and he didn't want those unarmed people to be trampled on by the central country and be innocently slaughtered.

"Okay, Xiao Guo has you, I can rest assured, I'm tired, you can retreat first."

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed, although he knew that this might not be Xiao Guo's true words, but since Xiao Mohan could show his loyalty in front of him, there would be no dissent for a while.

"Brother quit." Xiao Mohan didn't stay any longer, he told the emperor so much just now, the emperor must think about it at this time, if he stays here, the emperor will not feel comfortable.

Back at the General's Mansion, Xiao Mohan changed out of his court clothes and went straight to find Qian Qianqian.

"Let's go, follow me out of the house." Xiao Mohan said simply, Qian Qianqian put down the brush in her hand, and was still a little puzzled.

"Where?" Qian Qianqian raised her head and looked at Xiao Mohan, with a round nose and round eyes, looking cute and cute.

"Don't you see the fields in the eastern suburbs of the capital?" Xiao Mohan remained silent and lifted his thin lips lightly.

Qian Qianqian remembered those land deeds, Xiao Mohan had promised her before, and now it was time to fulfill the promise, and it happened that she was a little bored when she stayed in the house, so she quickly followed behind Xiao Mohan.

Wu Shun prepared the carriage, and Qian Qianqian was about to go up, but was stopped by Xiao Mohan.

"The eastern suburbs are mountainous, the roads are narrow and rugged, and they are not suitable for horse-drawn carriages at all, so let's ride horses."

Xiao Mohan gave a faint order, and a trace of doubt flashed in Wu Shun's eyes, but then he also understood, and immediately removed the carriage and brought a horse.

"What's the matter? What about mine? Qian Qianqian looked around and found that there were no other little people around Wu Shun, and her heart suddenly became puzzled.

"Miss Qian, it's really unfortunate, the horses in the house have fallen a lot of ill in the past few days, and there is only this one left, so ......"

Wu Shun's face was embarrassed, although he didn't say all the words in his heart, but when it came to this, Qian Qianqian also understood in his heart.

"Why haven't I heard about it? This big general's mansion has a lot of horses, how can they all fall ill? ”

Qian Qianqian was a little unconvinced, she had been to the stable in the house before, and there were dozens of good horses in it, and it was understandable that one or two horses fell ill, and there was only one horse left, which was really abnormal.

"During this period of time, horse plague was prevalent in Beijing, and many horses were sick, not only from the General's Mansion, but the girl had been staying in the room for the past few days, and it was normal to not know about it."

Wu Shun explained in a fifteen-ten-ten, every move is very respectful, but he really regards Qian Qianqian as his master, Qian Qianqian has lived in the General's Mansion for these days, and those subordinates have long regarded her as the mistress of the General's Mansion.

"Horse plague? Is that serious? Can I ask a veterinarian for treatment? ”

Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, Xiao Mohan had a calm face, standing aside without saying a word, and his eyes were not shocked.

"It's just an ordinary horse plague, it's not in the way, it'll be fine after a while, the girl doesn't have to worry."

Wu Shun bowed slightly, always with a friendly smile on his face, and put away his sharp edge, but people couldn't see that he was actually a person who practiced martial arts.

"That's good." Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and her thoughts were a little wandering.

Xiao Mohan suddenly coughed lightly, Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at Xiao Mohan with some embarrassment, so it seemed that she had to ride the same horse with Xiao Mohan.

"Let's go." Xiao Mohan didn't care, just gave a faint order, stretched out his hand and picked up Qian Qianqian, and threw it on the horse, although the action was fast, but it was not rude at all, but it was soft and delicate, for fear of making Qian Qianqian feel a little uncomfortable.

Before Qian Qianqian could react, she was already on the horse, and at the same time, Xiao Mohan turned over and hugged her in his arms.
