Chapter 241: Cooperation
It turned out that Helian Chi couldn't rest assured that Mo Lianyi was relieved, and in the name of retreat cultivation, he made a trick of the golden cicada to get out of his shell, and now, everyone in the palace thought that he was practicing in retreat, but he had already left the palace.
As soon as he entered the Uighurs, Helian Chi found out that Mo Lianyi had now become the empress dowager's confidant, and immediately took the real Xia Chuping away and replaced him himself.
At the moment, the two of them summed up and made a well-thought-out plan.
When Mo Lianyi returned to the palace, the sun had already set.
Obviously, the Queen Mother had already received the news that Mr. Lian Yi had let Xia Chuping go, and at this moment, when she saw Mo Lianyi who came to return to her life, she had a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Mr. Lian, the mourning family wants to hear why you want to disobey the mourning family." The Queen Mother's voice was not loud, but her tone was full of majesty and displeasure.
Yes, the order she gave was obviously to kill Xia Chuping, she didn't understand how even a small imperial doctor could dare to disobey her will.
Originally, she thought that Lian Yi would not return to the palace.
Hearing this, Mo Lianyi just smiled faintly, and then hugged his fists and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this move is definitely for the Queen Mother, for the little prince, and for the long-term plan." ”
"Oh?" The Queen Mother's voice was very long, and she didn't agree with Lian Yi's words, and snorted coldly at the moment: "So, you let go of the enemy's henchmen and disobeyed the orders of the mourning family, but it was for the good of the mourning family?" ”
The Queen Mother's reproach was obvious, and she was obviously surprised, usually, if she spoke in such a 'tone' and gesture in front of others, even those self-righteous ministers would tremble and be cautious.
However, it was obvious that the seemingly weak Lang Zhong in front of her was an accident.
Not only did he not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, he just listened to the Queen Mother's question with a smile, and after the Queen Mother spoke, he slowly spoke: "Back to the Queen Mother, in fact, there is a reason why I didn't kill Xia Chuping." ”
Mo Lianyi's demeanor was calm and generous, and he patiently explained at the moment: "Queen Mother, think about it, you and the Khan have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and neither side has achieved any substantive 'sexual' victory. ”
After a pause, Mo Lianyi continued: "If we can place a person next to the Khan, and keep an eye on the Khan's actions all the time without the Khan's suspicion, wouldn't that be very beneficial to us?" ”
Saying this, the Empress Dowager Chengde understood what Mo Lianyi meant, that's right, she didn't want to go to Meng Yuan's side to place her own people, but the people she trained with her heart always fell into the sea.
Either he was killed by Meng Yuan for an excuse, or he was arranged to a place where he couldn't reach the Khan at all.
After a moment of silence, the Queen Mother said: "However, that Xia Chuping has known Meng Yuan since he was a child, and he has been taken care of by Meng Yuan over the years, and has gained a lot of benefits, how can he be driven by you?" "Although the tone is still full of doubt, it is clear that the attitude has improved.
Mo Lianyi asked confidently and slowly: "Queen Mother, no matter how much Xia Chuping thinks about the Khan's favor, he still has to have his life to accept the favor, in the face of loyalty and life, I don't think Xia Chuping will sacrifice his life for righteousness." ”
"What do you mean, Mr. Lian?"
"Queen Mother, I have planted poison in Xia Chuping's body, this is my unique 'door' weapon, every three days, he needs an antidote to relieve the pain, otherwise, he can't survive, he can't die, that kind of pain can only make him regret that he was alive, and unfortunately, this antidote 'medicine' can only be configured by me."
Mo Lianyi spoke slowly, but every word said to the Queen Mother's heart: "In this way, I can't help if he wants to!" ”
Hearing this, the suspicion between the Queen Mother's eyebrows disappeared completely, and she couldn't help clapping her hands lightly at the moment, and praised: "Mr. Lian is so scheming, the mourning family is wrong to blame you......
At the same time, in Khan's study, the atmosphere was equally tense.
Meng Yuan sat in the Taishi chair, looking at the man in front of him, with mixed emotions in his heart.
Xia Chuping met with him overnight and told him how he was assassinated by Lian Yi.
"In that case, Mr. Xia, how did you escape?" Meng Yuan half-squinted his eyes and looked at him, the doubt in his heart had already been written on his face.
The more than 20 'guards' he sent to Xia Chuping were all killed, just ask, how could a weak scholar escape, he wanted to hear what Xia Chuping would say.
"Khan, I didn't run away at all!" Xia Chuping, no, at this time, to be precise, it should be Helian Chi, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "It was that Lian Yi who let me go!" ”
"Why did he let you go for no reason? His purpose should be to kill you! Meng Yuan's suspicious eyes looked Xia Chuping up and down
Helian Chi was not flustered, and said calmly: "He wants me to be loyal to the Queen Mother!" ”
"Then how did Mr. Xia answer him?" Meng Yuan's voice suddenly turned cold.
"Khan, if I didn't promise it, how could he let me go?" Helian Chi smiled helplessly, without a hint of hypocrisy on his face.
Meng Yuan didn't speak, he was a little puzzled in his heart, and asked at the moment: "In this case, you should pretend that nothing happened, and you enter the palace in the middle of the night and tell me about this matter, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"Khan, is Xia Chuping a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" His voice suddenly became a little more righteous and awe-inspiring, and then he raised his head and said: "Don't hide it from the Khan, that Lian Yi naturally can't believe my verbal promise, and now, the net worth and life of the old and young people in my house are all in his hands......"
Xia Chuping said, his eyes burst out with hatred, and his face was already flushed: "However, the khan has the grace of knowing me, and the eldest husband was born in the world, so he should have ambitions, not to mention, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both since ancient times." I, Xia Chuping, how can I be timid......"
Xia Chuping's righteous words made Meng Yuan's doubts disappear.
That's right, since he dared to enter the palace and reported the truth without concealment, it shows that he is indeed not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention, everything he said is consistent with the news from Meng Yuan's spies.
At that moment, Meng Yuan stood up, walked up to Xia Chuping, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Chuping, you and I have a lot of 'friendship', and I swear to you who is not afraid of life and death, I Meng Yuan swears that when I dominate the world, it will be the day when you become famous through the ages!" ”
This action full of anticipation made Helian Chi understand that he was 'confused' and 'mixed' in the past.
At that moment, he clenched his fists and said: "Khan, Xia Chuping now only wants to assist the Khan wholeheartedly, and take all the real power of the Uighurs into the hands of the Khan as soon as possible, and only the Khan can save the 'life' of my family......"
Helian Chi's eyes were red, glowing with a bloody terror, and it was this kind of blood that made Meng Yuan feel more at ease......
Helian Chi thought to himself that the cooperation between him and Mo Lianyi had always been seamless, and now, their plan had just begun.
It's just that he left the palace without permission, and I don't know how long he can hide it from Eleven.
——
Great Xia Kingdom, inside the Imperial City.
At this moment, the sky is getting late, and there is a burning cloud in the distance, which is very magnificent.
The tall palace walls and majestic palaces also add a bit of silence under the reflection of the setting sun.
Eleven walked out of the military aircraft department, he had just finished dealing with the government and felt very tired.
Helian Chi had been in retreat for seven days, and it was as if he had disappeared out of thin air, without any news. Although he ordered Eleven to act as the superintendent of the country and handle government affairs, Eleven would write down the important events of the day every day and send them to the main hall of Helian Chi's retreat, but every time, he did not get a response.
It's too calm in this palace, and the calm makes him a little uncomfortable.
Eleven always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He didn't know if Helian Chi was really in retreat in the main hall, and if he wasn't there, then where did the others go, and would he have discovered something?
Eleven was worried, but he was only suspicious in his heart, and he couldn't confirm it, and the more this happened, the more uneasy it made him.
No, he had to find some way to test it, if Helian Chi really went out under the guise of retreat, it would mean that he was already on guard against himself, and he had to take action.
At that moment, without hesitation, Eleven quickened his pace and walked towards the Fengtian Hall where Helian Chi was retreating.
Eleven walked straight to the front of the Fengtian Palace, and only two little eunuchs were guarding outside.
He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Eleven has something important to tell you......
Silence, no response.
"Your Majesty, there is a war in the southeast sea, I am afraid that the barbarians in southern Xinjiang covet my wealth in the southeast and 'intend' to come across the sea, how should we respond, and I hope Your Majesty will give instructions." Eleven listened.
He knew that Helian Chi had never allowed others to challenge his authority, and he didn't dare to make up any war nonsense to bluff and 'mess around'.
Therefore, he remembered the excerpt he had seen today, the cargo ships of several wealthy merchants in the southeast sea were robbed, but they were just pirates, and he deliberately exaggerated in order to test whether Helianchi was really retreating inside, even if Helianchi asked in the future, he would easily excuse himself.
It's just that there is still calm in the hall.
And Eleven's heart is not calm, it shouldn't be, Helian Chi shouldn't have no reaction at all.
frowned, eleven hearts were crossed, and he planned to break into the hall, even if Helian Chi was really inside, he was also for state affairs, and Helian Chi would punish him at most.
With this idea in mind, Eleven stepped onto the bluestone steps step by step.
"Bold!" Suddenly, there was a stern reprimand from behind Eleven.
Eleven was shocked, turned around, and saw that it was Mo Chen who was walking towards him step by step.
"Lord Jianguo, I don't know what you want to do when you trespass into the Fengtian Temple?" Mo Chen's face was serious, and the 'attendant' guards who followed behind him quickly ran to the front of the main hall, surrounding the main hall.
"Ah, it turned out to be Lord Mo, I naturally have something to report to Your Majesty, Lord Mo, what does this mean." Eleven stretched out his hand and pointed at the 'attendants' who surrounded the main hall, and his face showed a trace of displeasure.
Mo Chenjing walked in front of Eleven, and then said slowly: "What I want to do is naturally to guard the emperor's safety." ”
"Safety? Ha, Lord Mo, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, not to mention, the emperor is in the palace, how can there be any safety or insecurity, I think Lord Mo, you are too worried. Eleven's expression was a little unnatural.
And Mo Chen just crossed the corner of his lips with a sneer, and said immediately: "Before Your Majesty retreated, you said that your Excellency is responsible for handling government affairs, and you are responsible for Your Majesty's safety below, and we will just perform our duties." ”
A few words, so that Eleven had nothing to say, smiled at the moment, and left...
