Chapter 365: The Emperor's Plan (Part II)

Mo Ao's voice couldn't hear joy and anger, which made everyone's hearts more and more bottomless, is the emperor dissatisfied with these two, or has other plans in his heart, or is he testing us?

All kinds of thoughts were complicated, but because Mo Ao was watching, he didn't even dare to make eye contact, so the hall fell into silence.

Mo Ao snorted coldly: "Why, when I see that you are not particularly eloquent, I still remember that some time ago, Lord Qi also bluntly admonished, so that I can set up a prince as soon as possible to correct the country?" ”

Lord Qi, who was named, fell into a cold sweat, and lay on the ground with a face to plead guilty: "Please forgive the emperor, please forgive the emperor." ”

"Hmph," Mo Ao glanced at the ministers below, and the ministers who were kneeling all shrank back, for fear of being named by Mo Ao again.

"Lord Situ, what do you say these two princes should do?"

Situ Canglin knelt out, his face was very calm, but there was a cold sweat in his hands: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the eldest prince committed a rebellion, and now he is dead, and his henchmen and supporters have all been killed, and the minister thinks that the matter can end here." Although the second prince and the third prince did not handle things properly, they had merit in the end and could offset each other's merits. ”

When many officials heard this, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground faintly, and they were afraid that you would not say it in this palace, as long as someone spoke, they would not be afraid.

Mo Ao glanced at Situ Canglin, and did not agree with his words, but also did not object, and everyone felt more relieved for a while.

"Lord Han, what do you think?"

Han Wu knelt on the ground, his forehead touched the ground, his posture was extraordinarily respectful, and he could already be said to be humble: "Back to the emperor, the death of the eldest prince, Weichen is very sad in his heart, but the deceased is gone, and everyone else has confessed, Weichen thinks that the second prince and the third prince should not be held responsible, in addition, Weichen's health is getting worse and worse, please give the minister a favor and allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”

Mo Ao squinted his eyes suddenly: "What, Lord Han is expressing dissatisfaction with me?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare, the emperor is wise and martial, and the minister is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain and never give up, this is the minister who has no face to continue to stay in the court." As he spoke, the dozens of years old actually shed tears and whimpered in pain.

Mu Qingya's eyes flashed, and she admired Han Wu extremely in her heart, she was able to bend and stretch, and she was really worthy of being the head of the three major families, at this time, whatever he said would make people suspicious, and even make the emperor think that he was dissatisfied and then have murderous intent towards him, but his last cry showed the pain in his heart, and it was clearly a look of extreme regret, which made people can't bear to doubt anything.

"Why is Han Aiqing like this, for so many years, you have done your best for the vicissitudes of the river and made a lot of contributions, and now, you are still old and strong, so naturally you have to serve the imperial court, how can you return to your hometown."

Mo Ao's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear much emotion. Han Wu's heart relaxed slightly, and then hung tightly.

Mo Ao asked a few more people, and the rest of the courtiers either agreed with Situ Canglin or Han Wu, but no one indicated that Mo Junling and Mo Junqing should be punished.

Mo Ao's mood has always been light, no matter what everyone said, he didn't show his attitude, until he asked the last official, he swept around the crowd, and said coldly: "Come on, Qi Zhihe, Wang Quanyi, Zhou Wuqin...... Drag it down, go to the prison, and kill it on a certain day! ”

As soon as the words fell, the blood guard appeared again, and was directly pulled down by the officials named by Mo Ao as if he was carrying a sack.

For a while, cold sweat soaked my back, for fear that the next person to be pulled down would be myself.

Especially the officials, their faces were pale and bloodless.

Mo Ao seemed to feel that those officials were frightened enough, turned his head to look at where Mu Qingya and the others were standing, and asked in a cold voice, "Concubine Lan, what do you think?" ”

The named Lan Concubine slammed to the ground: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor bypasses the concubines......" It is also death if you say it, and if you don't say it, it is death, she has been so frightened that she doesn't know how to deal with it, so she just begged for mercy.

"Lan Guiren lost his honor in front of the emperor, and when someone came, he was dragged down and killed."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor spares ...... life"

Mo Ao looked at Mu Qingya, and a treacherous light flashed in his eyes: "Mu Qingya, what do you think?" ”

Duanmu Mingli's heart tightened, and she frowned worriedly, what did Mo Ao want to do, did she want to find an excuse to kill Qingya? What to do, what to do at this time?

Mu Qingya's heart also sank, the official who had just been killed was the lowest rank from the fifth rank, the highest was the second grade, and Lan Concubine's father was even more of a first-rank member, and the statements given by those people were also similar, basically saying that the merits of the second prince and the third prince were comparable, but Mo Ao just singled them out and killed them, it can be said that such a method is extremely deterrent, at this time, she has to think carefully about whatever she says.

Mu Qingya raised her eyes slightly, her expression was flat without the slightest panic, and her voice was as cold as usual: "Back to the emperor, Qingya is a woman in the boudoir and should not be involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty, but since the emperor asked, Qingya will say her opinion." The emperor is wise, rewards and punishments have always been clear, meritorious rewards must be punished, this is the way of fairness, although the second prince and the third prince behaved inappropriately, but the two did maintain the safety of the emperor and maintain the stability of the palace. The second prince was injured many times in order to save the emperor. The merits and demerits can be offset. ”

As soon as Mu Qingya's voice fell, everyone didn't dare to speak out, but they admired this county lord for daring to speak out, after all, the emperor had killed a lot of officials just now, and she dared to speak up at this time.

Mo Ao looked at Mu Qingya, and had to admit that the woman in front of him was really resourceful: "Mu Qingya, the merits and demerits are compensated, do you know that if you lead troops into the palace, you can be regarded as committing a crime, and you can be killed for the crime of treason!" ”

Mu Qingya was not moved by Mo Ao's coercion at all, and still said calmly: "What the emperor said is true, but the ancients were in a hurry to obey power, if it wasn't for the second prince and the third prince to bring troops into the palace this time, I'm afraid I don't know what the result would be." ”

Mo Ao snorted coldly: "You are clever and eloquent? ”

Mu Qingya knelt on the ground, leaning over slightly, but her back was straight: "Your Majesty, why don't you listen to the second prince and the third prince in this matter?" Although she didn't want to save Mo Junqing, she couldn't watch Mo Junqing have an accident, so this time she could only cheapen Mo Junqing first.

Mo Ao looked at the two sons kneeling on the ground, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Mo Junling, what do you have to say?" ”

"Return to my father, my son's crime deserves death, please punish my father."

"What sin are you guilty of? Have you seen that no one said that you were guilty, and they all said that you were guilty of demerits, but you yourself thought that your sins deserved to die? ”

"Back to my father, my son is guilty, my son should not lead troops into the palace, let alone stab the eldest brother, my son has violated the palace rules, violated the law of the canglans, and I am sorry for the eldest brother. But Erchen really doesn't regret it! As he spoke, Mo Junwei raised his head and looked at Mo Ao with a pair of eyes, and his eyes were filled with admiration that had been forcefully suppressed, "Back to my father, even if such a thing happens again, my son will still choose to do this, because my son doesn't want his father to have something to do, let alone let his father have something to do." The son is not only the son of the emperor, but also the courtier of the vicissitudes, supporting the emperor is what should be done, even if he is broken, he still does not regret it! ”

Mo Junwei's words were loud, so that after listening to it, everyone couldn't help but sketch in their hearts the image of a loyal minister who continued to pay for the country and the emperor, and they had the most benign guess in their hearts about what Mo Junming had done before.

Mu Qingya secretly called him good, no wonder he was able to control the most powerful fief in Canglan, even if he did not return to the fiefdom for a long time, he still had a solid power, although his personality was ruthless, he was indeed the best candidate for the emperor!

A glimmer of light flashed in Mo Ao's eyes, and he faintly made a plan in his heart.

Mo Junqing didn't say much about it, only kowtowed and asked for sin: "Back to my father, my son doesn't know how to express it, but I ask my father to punish him." ”

He lowered his head, making people unable to see his emotions clearly, and just said a word, but everyone knew in their hearts that he couldn't be blamed for things, after all, the third prince was a fool before, although he was now sane, but he didn't know much about things, he just wanted to protect his father and brother.

Many people have already taken the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the merits of the two princes are worth it, please ask the emperor to bypass them." ”

"Please think twice!"

Seeing that Mo Ao didn't speak for a long time, Mu Qingya's heart was slightly relieved, it seemed that Mo Ao didn't intend to punish them, he just wanted to find an excuse to deter the court and let them out. If this is not the case, once they are acquitted, it will definitely make many people dissatisfied, thinking that the emperor is protecting the prince. And now that he killed a few ministers with thunder, he dragged everyone to voluntarily ask for orders to release Mo Junling and Mo Junqing, so that the result was achieved, and the royal majesty was increased, which was naturally counted in one fell swoop.

Mo Ao sighed: "I didn't expect that the eldest prince would have bad intentions, although the second prince and the third prince handled things improperly, but they had merit in saving the driver. The two were punished to copy the scriptures of filial piety a hundred times, copy a hundred volumes of scriptures, and pray for their brothers. ”

Mu Qingya's eyes moved, it seemed that the emperor had his own plan in his heart.

Mo Ao paused, and then said: "Concubine Li has a good character, has accompanied me in the palace for many years, and has five princes, Mo Junhan, who can be worthy of the position of the imperial concubine. ”

"The concubines have thanked the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Mo Ao nodded, motioned for her to be flat, and then looked at Mu Qingya: "Mu Qingya has a meritorious role in saving the driver, although there was a reward before, but I also said that I would promise you a condition, what do you want?" ”
