An Xian looked at Mo Qingyuan's determined face, and breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Qingyuan, this child, has an arrogant personality, but has an upright character, Mo Chao will not only not recognize Mo Qingyuan's father and son, but will also cause Mo Qingyuan's anger and resentment towards his despicable behavior.

Mo Qingyuan only had anger in his heart at the moment, he hated the Mo Dynasty who abandoned him, and even more hated the current Chang Yang who was wooing him for personal interests.

Mo Zhi said to Mo Qingyuan earnestly: "Have you really thought about it, he is your father after all." ”

Mo Qingyuan's tone was solemn, and he looked at Mo Zhi and said word by word: "I don't want such a father." ”

The next day, Mo Qingyuan went to meet the emperor and asked to stay in Kyoto for the time being, staying with General Wei Jiyuan, and in his private heart, he also wanted to solve some things.

Mo Chao wooed Mo Qingyuan to no avail, his heart was full of unwillingness, holding Mo Qingyuan's reply letter in his hand, and muttering to himself, "Hmph! I don't know what to do, and you don't take advantage of the opportunity to give you, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved. ”

Mo Qingyuan returned to Kyoto, monitoring Mo Chao's every move all the time, and secretly recruiting troops and horses could not continue, let alone close contacts with the ministers of the DPRK and China, as long as Mo Qingyuan grabbed the slightest sign, he would write a letter of advice and send it to the emperor.

The emperor didn't take it to heart at first, after all, the horse has been by his side for many years, conscientious, and everything he ordered to go down was handled with all his heart, coupled with Mo Chao's explanation in his ear, Mo Qingyuan's impeachment of the emperor was just jealousy in the hearts of young generals.

It's just that after a long time, I will wonder in my heart, does the horse really secretly interact with the DPRK and Chinese officials many times? If this is the case, it is not said what the crime is, but the motive is doubtful.

The emperor was already suspicious in his heart, and secretly placed two people around Mo Chao to monitor him, so that Mo Chao's despicable deeds with the court officials behind his back could not be carried out.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the Mo Dynasty, Mo Qingyuan's impeachment is not out of nowhere, every little thing adds up, the emperor's suspicion of him is getting heavier and heavier, and the officials who have close contacts around him on weekdays, as well as the royal officials and nobles, have avoided contacting him as much as possible.

Everyone knows that the emperor of the current dynasty is suspicious and ruthless, and no one wants to get into trouble, so it seems that the Mo Dynasty is tied up and unable to carry out the next plan.

When the Mo Dynasty was in danger, the emperor suddenly fell ill, thinking that it was a small problem at his age, but he didn't expect the illness to come like a mountain, and it didn't get better for several days.

The prince of the Tai Hospital took medicine in shifts, and all the precious medicinal materials and strange prescriptions were used, and he did not see the emperor's condition improve in the slightest, and even became more and more seriously ill day by day.

The crown prince stayed by the emperor's side day and night, and even the three princes who were guarding the border pass rushed back.

The emperor is already old, and seeing that his condition is already in danger, the most important thing now is to set up a new emperor, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty have discussed a lot, and the court is in a mess, and people have speculated that the emperor will not really be bad, right? So the next new emperor must be the crown prince?

The prince is gentle and elegant, rich and rich, and has been the prince valued by the old emperor since he was a child, and he was made a prince just after the age of ten, which can be said to be the best candidate to succeed to the throne, so they ran to the prince, all wanting to leave a good impression in front of the prince.

Mo Chao saw the chaotic appearance of the people in the court, and a treacherous plan came to his heart.

Even if Guan Yan returned to the palace, he had always maintained the habit of living at the border, getting up before dawn and going to the courtyard to train with a sword.

Guan Yan was dancing the sword, and he heard someone enter the palace gate and called the third prince, Guan Yan stopped what he was doing, and looked back, it was none other than Changyang.

Mo Chao walked over to Guan Yan and asked him for peace, Guan Yan put away his sword and invited him into the house, the two of them had nothing to say, it was nothing more than the emperor's illness, the situation at the border, etc., suddenly Mo Chao changed his words and asked: "The emperor is critically ill, and it is very difficult to want the dragon body to be as strong and healthy as before." ”

Guan Yan nodded, with some worry on his face, and said, "It's too difficult for my father to recover from this illness." ”

Mo Chao followed Guan Yan's words and continued: "In this way, this new emperor is also about to be established. ”

Guan Yan listened to Mo Chao's words, raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of unkindness in his tone: "What do you mean by this, my father is still here, what you say is a big rebellion." ”

Mo Chao hurriedly pleaded guilty to Guan Yan after hearing this, and said to Guan Yan in a low tone: "It's really a little unpleasant to say this, but I'm also telling the truth, the third prince, if the emperor really dies, who should this new emperor be?" ”

Guan Yan looked at Mo Chao's playful expression, and there was obviously a hint of displeasure in his tone: "If there is really such a day, it will not be your turn to worry about it, the prince is naturally the first choice, and the concubine does not have to worry about it, and the father has his own decision." ”

Mo Chao looked at Guan Yan's unhappy expression, and he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Third prince, let me tell you the truth, do you think that after the emperor dies, the crown prince ascends the throne, will there be a place for you in this court at that time?" ”

Guan Yan listened to his words, his face was full of displeasure: "What do you want to say?" ”

Mo Chao smiled, stood up from his chair, and turned his back to Guan Yan: "When the second prince rebelled, the prince tried his best to obstruct it, and in the end, he asked the emperor to ignore the relationship between father and son, and immediately sent troops to arrest the second prince, and also, who came up with the idea of telling you to guard the border pass in the first place?" It's still the prince, his purpose is to let you have more experience to protect your family and defend the country, in my opinion, it's just to keep you away and don't hinder him. ”

Guan Yan listened to Mo Chao's words and squinted his eyes, although they are brothers, they are also princes, and it is normal for them to be wary of each other.

Mo Chao saw the third prince's somewhat shaken appearance and said: "Brother, he can put him to death with a dead hand, what else can't he do, the first is Guan Qin, and the next is you Guan Yan." ”

Guan Yan raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and looked at Mo Chao with gloomy eyes: "Why did you come to me to say such a thing?" What are your intentions? ”

Mo Chao smiled and said: "I don't have any intentions, it's just that the three princes are not worth it, when Dayao and Qiu Yu fought, you fought bloodily at the border, but the prince sat comfortably in the palace, the emperor completely forgot about your good, you are the most qualified person to be on the throne." ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Guan Yan said sharply.

But Mo Chao's ability to observe words and expressions has already seen that he doesn't say anything, and he is afraid that he has no bottom in his heart, so he continues to add fuel and vinegar: "Is the third prince really not worried at all?" The prince can bring down the ruthless Guan Qin, let alone you who are hearty and scheming? I'm afraid that after he ascends the throne, the first thing is to attack you, after all, the third prince should not forget that he can hold most of Da Yao's military power! ”

Guan Yan gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths, and didn't speak, but he didn't refute Mo Chao again, Mo Chao walked over, approached Guan Yan, and said in a very small voice: "How about the two of us cooperating?" ”

Mo Chao continued: "Your troops are all kept on the border of Dayao, it is too difficult to enter Beijing, if you don't go to the two of us, you will enter Kyoto from the border pass, and I will start from Kyoto to meet you." ”

"Rebellion?!" Guan Yan was startled and immediately pushed him away: "Bold! You've forgotten how Guan Qin died! ”

"If you don't succeed in becoming benevolent, I'm not afraid, what are the three princes afraid of? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family and children! You have military power in your hands, and the crown prince has an unstable foundation, so don't worry at all! ”

Guan Yan took a few deep breaths: "Don't say it, you go back first, go back first!" "This matter is very important, and Mo Chao is not in a hurry, so he left him to think it out for himself.

An Xian looked at the current situation in front of him, "The emperor can't afford to be sick, and it is rumored that he can't get better, I'm afraid that he really wants to set up a new monarch." ”

Mo Zhi nodded and replied: "The emperor's illness has never gotten up again, and it is only a matter of these two days that he died, and the candidate for the throne will definitely be the crown prince." ”

An Xian didn't know why, he always felt panicked, Mo Qingyuan had grown up, and he didn't become the notorious general in the end, so everything was completely out of his control.

On the tenth day after falling ill, the emperor died, the whole country mourned, all the people fasted, and the women below the concubine position in the palace and had no heirs were sent to the Jingguo Temple to chant scriptures for the emperor and mourn.

According to the will left by the emperor, Taizi Guanzhen will inherit the throne and become the new emperor of Da Yao.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the civil and military officials have worshiped the temple and the altar of Sheji, Guan Zhen wore a specific black sacrificial costume, came to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven and earth, after the worship, the ministers worshiped together, and the scholars dedicated the jade seal to Guan Zhen, since then, Dayao has a new monarch.

On the second day of ascending the throne, Guan Yan faced the saint, looked at Guan Zhen sitting on the dragon chair, knelt on the ground, and said, "Brother Chen, please return to the border fortress and continue to guard the border pass." ”

Guan Zhen hurriedly helped him up: "When there are only two of us, you don't have to be polite, why don't you stay a few more days, why are you in such a hurry to go back." ”

Guan Yan replied: "It's not okay to have no one to guard the border plug, it's better for the younger brother to go back as soon as possible." ”

Guan Yan didn't delay much, and returned to Biansai with his men and horses the next day.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and as soon as Guan Zhen came up, he came up with many reform measures, encouraging commerce, reducing taxes and taxes, and the people applauded again and again, and they all thought that a good emperor had come up.

Not only that, Guan Zhen also recruited a large number of young talents, injected fresh blood into the imperial court, and in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the old ministers, the salaries of all the veterans on the spot were raised a lot.

Mo Chao looked at what the new emperor did, and secretly thought in his heart that he was really an emperor with brains, so he bought a lot of people's hearts.

He secretly calculated the date agreed with Guan Yan, and a bloody storm was coming.
