Time passed slowly, that is, in October, Da Yue's autumn hunt every four years was the beginning, this hunt was also the first time that Mo Yao ascended the throne, Mo Yao felt that he was in a different mood from the previous hunt, and even the courtiers who did not follow him also felt that many things were very different this year.
Before, when the first emperor was still there, it was also the last year, Emperor Qiandi was sick, knowing that his life was short, but he rejected many excerpts to stop hunting, and ordered Mo Yao, who was still the prince, and Mo Chang, the king of Zhan, to hold this autumn hunt for a good life.
It's not a big deal, but I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Mo Chang exposed his ambitions when he was in the palace, although Emperor Qiandi favored Mo Chang, but he couldn't make Mo Chang succeed, Mo Chang saw his own revelation, that is, he poisoned and assassinated Emperor Qian, and controlled the dosage and broke out within a month, so that he could perfectly escape suspicion.
But rumors can only be rumors, Mo Yao decided not to mention this matter, and everyone didn't dare to mention it, not to mention that Mo Chang's external methods can't help but make people fearful, so everyone is unwilling to put this matter on the table, but this year is another hunt, so naturally he remembered the previous thing.
Inside the Chengqian Palace.
"Your Majesty, although King Zhan had dealt with hunting matters in the palace for Emperor Qian, the emperor, King Zhan was not the only one who was in charge of ...... back then."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if Emperor Qian's matter happens again, King Zhan is afraid that he will not show mercy to his subordinates, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect my Dayue's country at that time."
"Your Majesty, although there is no conclusive evidence of King Zhan's previous affairs, but the first emperor died after returning to the palace for a month, this matter cannot be faked, even if King Zhan is not as rumored, but the emperor, since you ascended the throne, King Zhan has always disagreed with you and is a contradiction, and you have to guard against it, your majesty!"
Mo Yao was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, looking at the courtiers in the hall arguing over there, obviously it was a matter close at hand, the day before yesterday dragged on to yesterday, and yesterday to today, it was actually for a nonsense joke to make such a field.
These people seem to have seen the evidence of Mo Chang's rebellion, so convinced, so heartfelt for the Lord!
But I know that it is groundless, but according to the current form, I can only follow their wishes.
"So, who do you think can take on this great responsibility?" The corners of Mo Yao's lips were raised, but the simple action made people unable to see the meaning clearly, and the people in the hall looked at each other for a while.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that An Sui, the son of An Guogong, can take on this great responsibility." The one who spoke was Shen Huanian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, whose daughter was An Sui's wife, and another son, Shen An.
Mo Yao raised his eyebrows, this is obviously the situation that Mo Yao expected, no matter how many twists and turns there have been in the major events in recent years, in the end it still came to the head of An's people, if something went wrong, it was the fault of the people under his hands, at most it was a lack of discipline, but if it was done well, it was the credit of An's people alone, so many Zhuang incidents, Mo Yao could see it thoroughly.
The entire hall fell silent again, and then Mo Yao chuckled and said, "Spread my will, let An Sui arrange this hunting matter, and Pei Yi, the prince of the Hou Shizi of the Northern Foothills, will assist." ”
Mo Yao's words fell heavily, and only one sentence of "yes" fell in the hall.
Mo Yao didn't entangle with them too much, and then got up and went out, ignoring the sound of harmony that immediately sounded in the hall.
Shen Luo followed behind Mo Yao, he had been by Mo Yao's side since he was a child, he naturally knew what Mo Yao's smile represented, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow Mo Yao quietly.
"Go down." Mo Yao didn't know when he restrained the smile on his lips, and commanded Shen Luo in a deep voice, but Shen Luo didn't react for a moment, and then he couldn't say anything and hurriedly retreated.
Mo Yao exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and walked in a familiar direction.
In the Fengluan Palace, the queen was sitting on the couch by the window, frolicking with the princess Mo Yige.
"Ah Ge, come to Ah Niang's side." The queen's gentle voice sounded unhurriedly in the hall, and the joy and relaxation in it were extremely rare for Mo Yao to listen to.
On the couch, Mo Yige was dressed in a fish-white jacket with a crimson skirt, and his body was supported by Qinhe, and he stumbled towards the queen, followed by another step, and then his body was crooked but he fell into the queen's arms, and a "giggle" laugh sounded.
The queen looked at the child in her arms, and she was also overjoyed.
Mo Yige saw Mo Yao, but he struggled to get off the ground, and the queen thought that there would be no accident if there were carpets on the ground, so she let go.
Mo Yige's footsteps were staggering, the autumn wind was swaying, the queen was afraid that she would be cold, so she wore more, and her back looked like a small ball moving forward slowly, which was very cute.
Xu stepped on the skirt, and the smaller figure couldn't be steady, so he fell forward.
The queen was startled, and her hand that was originally holding the teacup shook, and she didn't care about the tea that was still hot splashing on her hand, and hurriedly passed over and then fell down.
"How's Ah Ge?" The queen was very panicked, for fear that something would happen to Mo Yige.
Mo Yige didn't speak, took the queen's hand and went in one direction, the queen also followed Mo Yige's movements, and when she saw Mo Yao, Mo Yige had already rushed to Mo Yao's feet.
"Ah...... Dad...... Hugging ......" Mo Yige opened his arms to Mo Yao, and the childish child who could learn to speak could not speak clearly, with a milky voice, so that people could listen to it and avoid the troubles of a day.
Mo Yao smiled, squatted down and hugged Mo Yige.
"See the Emperor." The queen reacted and looked at Mo Yao and saluted.
Mo Yao just nodded, and then hugged Mo Yige to sit on the couch.
"Ah Ge is happy today?" Mo Yao asked Mo Yige with a smile.
Mo Yige nodded heavily, showing a smile that had not yet grown his teeth, and slowly spit out vague words: "Ah...... Dad...... Here it comes...... It's been a long time......"
Mo Yao looked at Mo Yige without any restraint, felt guilty in his heart, and stroked Mo Yige's immature face with warm fingertips, and said: "Daddy has a lot of things to do these days, in a few days, autumn hunting, Daddy will take Ah Ge with him." ”
Although Mo Yige didn't understand what hunting was, he nodded busily when he heard the "go together" in the back.
Mo Yao put down Mo Yige and asked Qin He to lead Mo Yige out.
"Go get the medicine kit." Mo Yao commanded to Qin Lan on the side.
The queen and Qin Lan were both stunned, Qin Lan reacted, and hurriedly took the medicine box.
"Go down." Mo Yao simply commanded, but Qin Lan didn't dare to refuse.
When there was no one else in the hall, Mo Yao got up, took the queen's hand and sat down together, took out the ointment from the box, dipped his fingers a little, took the queen's hand, and applied it gently.
The queen looked down, her hand was really red and swollen, and she was worried that Mo Yige would not react at first, but when she calmed down at this time, she was really uncomfortable.
"It's all mothers, and they still don't care about themselves." Mo Yao applied the ointment, but his hand did not let go.
The queen also laughed and said, "It's me who didn't pay attention to ......."
For a while, there was nothing to say, and neither of them could find a word.
"Why is the emperor free to come over today......" The queen didn't want to be so embarrassed, so she spoke up.
"The things that should be dealt with in the court today are all dealt with, thinking that I haven't seen Ah Ge for a long time, come and take a look." Mo Yao felt that this was a good excuse at this time.
The queen nodded clearly, thinking of Mo Yige, and couldn't help but have a kind smile on her face, and said: "Ah Ge has grown up fast these days, many clothes are not worn much, they are small, and they can talk a lot, and they have walked a lot more than before......
Mo Yao looked at the queen's expression, and his heart was as comfortable as the warm spring sun shining.
"Concubine An, can you still be at peace these days?"
The queen slightly restrained her loving smile when she remembered Mo Yige, nodded and said: "Since Xu Chongrong's incident, although Concubine An wants to expand the matter, but there is still the queen mother pressing, and her body seems to be unpleasant these days, but there is no movement, but Shen Jieyu is serving in front of Concubine An every day, and she is also courteous." ”
The queen inevitably had some sarcasm in the end, and Mo Yao just smiled when she heard it.
"The emperor has gone to Shen Jieyu's side a lot these days, and it's ...... to think about it."
"What does the queen think?" Mo Yao interrupted the queen's words, and there was still a smile on his face that made people unable to see what Mo Yao was thinking.
The queen was stunned for a moment, the smile on her lips was a little more alienated, and said: "The emperor is the emperor's preference, but the Shen family, after all, is friendly with the An family, the emperor still don't forget this ......"
Mo Yao listened to the queen's words and gradually drifted away, his face did not show any expression, his hand tightened, and the strength of his grip on the queen was greater, and said: "The queen's admonition, I naturally take it to heart. ”
Then the two couldn't find a word, and Mo Yao didn't stay long, getting up and leaving.
The queen looked at Mo Yao's departing figure, and her calm eyes were a little cracked after all.
Since when, Mo Yao, you and I have been so estranged when we talked, was it when I knew that you were the crown prince, or when I got married, I kept being the concubine and carrying the concubine room......
Mo Yao walked out of the Jinluan Palace, looked up at the blue sky, and the boredom in his heart that originally looked at the scene of Mo Yige and Wang Yan laughing has gone for most of it, but how did it make an unpleasant mess later......
Is it because of Concubine An, or because of Shen Jieyu, or because of Xu Chongrong......
Yan'er, when did I see through you, forever indifferent and alienated, did I hurt you, or did you do this......
