Chapter 148: Liu Zezhong's Resentment
Mo Li and King Qing arranged everything before reporting the matter to Liu Yan, Liu Yan was very angry, he didn't want Mao Leyan to enter the palace, because he knew that Mao Leyan also had a certain affection for him, and he was also very clear about her intentions, originally the two of them loved each other, and it was a very happy thing to be together. But his identity is not ordinary, he has many concubines in the harem, he favors this today, and that tomorrow, all in order to stabilize the previous dynasty and stabilize the harem. And after she entered the palace, she would definitely feel uncomfortable when she saw him lingering among different concubines, so the only trace of affection between them would be turned into nothing. Comparing her heart to her heart, if she knew that she had an affair with the man next to her, he would also feel uncomfortable in his heart, don't say that she is in the harem, seeing him so circling between the concubines, even if she has real affection for him, I am afraid that she will be forcibly consumed.
Mo Li knew that he would be angry, knelt on his knees, looked up at Liu Yan, Liu Yan was stunned, they grew up together, when he first ascended the throne, it was Mo Li who led everyone to kneel, but since that time, he has exempted Mo Li and Liu Xian from kneeling. Liu gradually breathed a sigh of relief, frowned, and said, "What are you doing here?" Get up! ”
Mo Li said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister." Now the emperor has accepted the daughter of the important ministers of the former dynasty into the palace, in order to stabilize the foundation, the emperor also said in the past that he would not marry Miss Liu into the palace, but now the situation is forced, and there is no way but to borrow the power of martial arts to pacify the rebellious party. And Mao Leyan has a very powerful weapon in his hand, and once this weapon is applied to war, our side will be sure of victory. The minister knew that the emperor didn't want to destroy the relationship with Mao Leyan, but a woman's heart could be repaired if she was hurt, but once the world was full of holes, the convenience of the people was boring, and the lives were ruined, which was more important, the minister begged the emperor to think twice. ”
King Qing didn't approve of it very much, everything was forced to Liangshan by Mo Li, but now after listening to Mo Li's words, he felt that Mo Li, as a courtier, could do his best to the Liu dynasty, and he was obsessed with the personal affairs of his children, and he was really ashamed to be the descendant of the Liu family. He glanced at Mo Li with a little guilt, and knelt down to persuade him: "Your Majesty, what Mo Li said is not unreasonable, in fact, this king is reluctant to let Xiao Yan enter the palace, and he doesn't want her to be involved in this dispute over right and wrong, but for the sake of the overall situation, the only feasible insurance method in front of him is like this." Now Liu Zezhong is also constantly contacting her, and the people of Yunwulou have not stopped chasing her, if she can be allowed to enter the palace, it will also be a good thing for her and the court. At the very least, you can make sure that Liu Zezhong doesn't have a chance to be crooked about the weapon in her hand again. Even if we can't get this weapon in the end, but others can't get it either, we have the bottom in our hearts. ”
What they said, Liu Yan actually thought about it all. Standing in the position of the descendants of the surname Liu, he has an unshirkable responsibility to the court and the country, but in this way, it is inevitable to sacrifice his relationship with Mao Leyan. Taking a step back and thinking about it, in fact, there is no possibility between him and Mao Leyan, even if she does not enter the palace, the intersection between them is still zero. Since ancient times, emperors and love have no fate, and emperors are not loveless, but they can't love. How much shock will the harem pet bring to the previous dynasty? How much danger will it bring to the woman you favor?
After pondering for a long time, he sighed: "Since everything has been arranged like this, and she is willing to enter the palace, then she has to do this." ”
Liu Zezhong didn't know where to learn the news that Mao Leyan was going to enter the palace as a concubine, and was shocked. These days, he knows that Mao Leyan doesn't care about him, and he only communicates with him perfunctorily, and he hasn't been able to find out any news about the weapon in her hand from her, and he is already very anxious in his heart, and now if Mao Leyan enters the palace, it can be said that it will be even more difficult for him to see her again.
That's all it takes, Mao Leyan enters the palace and can arrest Zhao Zhenyu. However, when he heard that Mao Leyan was going to enter the palace, he didn't know why he had a sour and angry emotion in his heart, so after learning the news that day, he immediately came to Mao Leyan.
Liu Zezhong has always maintained a friendly attitude in front of Mao Leyan, and it has never been possible to appear in Mao Yuan in such a hurry as this time.
"What's wrong?" Mao Leyan was digging an osmanthus tree in the yard and wanted to transplant it to the open space outside his room, but when he saw Liu Zezhong coming angrily, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Liu Zezhong reached out and grabbed her shoulders hard, his nails sank into her clothes, and there was no evil spirit in his beautiful eyes, only the flames of anger were burning, "Why did you enter the palace?" ”
Mao Leyan broke away from him, patted the mud on his hands, and didn't ask him why he knew, but said lightly: "Entering the palace as a concubine, isn't it the thing that folk women want the most?" ”
"No, do you have other plans?" Liu Ze asked with a hint of expectation, he would rather they make arrangements to deal with him, than Mao Leyan wanted to be Liu Yan's woman and entered the palace as a concubine.
Mao Leyan smiled: "What you said is so strange, what can I do if I enter the palace as a woman?" ”
Liu Zezhong narrowed his narrow eyes and stared at her, "Really?" Aren't you trying to deal with Xiao Wang? ”
"I'll admit I don't like who you are, but I'm not going to deal with you, anyway, things aren't what you think." Mao Leyan turned her head away and continued to play with her osmanthus tree.
"Xiao Wang doesn't understand, since you are the concubine of the palace, why does the emperor want to admit you into the palace? So many concubines in the palace have been dismissed, but you are left alone in the palace, which proves that King Qing has special feelings for you, since this is the case, why did he send you to the palace to be a concubine for another man? Doesn't make sense. Liu Zezhong said coldly, he would rather be like this, he would rather Mao Leyan enter the palace for another purpose, and in fact, on the surface of the matter, it is true, he can see that King Qing actually cares about her very much, and Liu gradually has such a good relationship with him, even if he likes Mao Leyan again, he can't win King Qing's love.
Mao Leyan stretched her waist and squinted her eyes to watch the lazy sunlight spill down from the gap in the sycamore tree, she didn't know what Liu Zezhong was guilty of this time, maybe because once she entered the palace, his idea would be frustrated. She smiled slightly and said, "Liu Yan is the pride of the sky and an outstanding man, what's so strange about me wanting to enter the palace to be his woman?" ”
Liu Zezhong's face suddenly turned grim, "Are you serious? ”
"I don't have to lie to you. Seriously, I can't ask anything about the matter between you and Liu Yan, if you hadn't killed people under my nose and snatched the child last time, I wouldn't have gone to Jingwang's Mansion to find you, the affairs of the court are not for us women to ask, besides, there are so many witty ministers around Liu Yan, where is it our turn to ask women? Mao Leyan replied calmly.
Liu Zezhong also simply made his words clear, and said, "Maybe it's for the weapon in your hand." ”
Mao Leyan's eyes flashed, stared at him and asked: "This is your purpose for approaching me, you have been spying on me under the pretext of talking to Zhao Zhenyu three or four times, just to find out from him what kind of weapon we have in our hands." ”
Liu Zezhong's eyes were a little evasive, "No, Xiao Wang is looking for you because Xiao Wang wants to avenge the severed finger that day, but after getting along with you, I found that you are not a very annoying woman." After a pause, he felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, and said, "No, you still hate it, at least for now." ”
Mao Leyan grinned, "Really? Hate that you're still coming to me? Mr. Liu, since some things have come to this point, I am not afraid to make it clear to you that I do have weapons of great destruction in my hands, but I will not use them in war, let alone hand them over to you. If you come to me for this, I advise you to die as soon as possible, the power of the throne is fleeting, and cherishing your life is the right thing. ”
Liu Zezhong's eyes were a little puzzled, "You really won't give the weapon to Liu Yan?" Didn't you say you liked him? ”
"I like him, but it doesn't mean that I want to see the war, I just ask about the court, but I will do everything possible to prevent this war from happening, I don't care how unwilling you and your father are, Liu gradually became the emperor, and the people were happy, which shows that he is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, why add trouble in the prosperous world, and make the lives miserable to feel at ease?" Mao Le's words are sharp and authentic.
Liu Zezhong said angrily: "You say that he is a good emperor, could it be that Xiao Wang will not be a good emperor in the future?" Xiao Wang dared to promise that if Xiao Wang ascended to the throne, he would definitely do better than him. ”
Mao Leyan frowned and said, "Why do you all want to be the emperor so much?" What's so good about being an emperor? Can't you live if you are an ordinary person? You are the son of the feudal official, and you will inherit the throne of King Jing in the future, and you will be the emperor in your southwest, so why do you need to come to this troubled water? ”
"You don't understand men's things." Liu Zezhong was a little violent.
Mao Leyan snorted: "I naturally don't understand, for your own selfishness, I want the people of the world to fall into dire straits, of course I don't understand." ”
Liu Zezhong has always regarded himself too highly, and has always been favored by King Jing, no one dared to say anything heavy to him, today was originally Xingshi to ask for guilt, but in the end he was scolded by Mao Leyan a few words, and he only felt angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Those who have never become big things are not informal, why is he Liu gradually the pride of the sky?" Why is Xiao Wang destined to survive under his power? Even if everyone in the world is to be buried together, Xiao Wang will pull Liu gradually down from the throne. No wonder Xiao Wang didn't warn you in advance, you insist on entering the palace, and you can only end up as a concubine of the dead country in the future, once Liu gradually is killed, the throne changes hands, you are worse than the underground mud. ”
Mao Leyan was suddenly angry in her heart, but her face was as calm as ever, and she said lightly: "Really? If so, it is also my fate, and I accept it. Since you are so kind to warn me, I might as well warn you, since ancient times, there will be no good end for rebellious ministers and thieves. If you are killed in the coming day, for today's sake, I will put a stick of incense on you and bow down. ”
Liu Zezhong's face was pale, he raised his hand, wanting to slap Mao Leyan, looking at Mao Leyan's stubborn and cold face, and finally lowered his hand weakly, and said with a dead face: "Okay, since you have talked about this, Xiao Wang feels that it is not interesting to come to you." Congratulations on your early success and ascension to the throne of the Queen. ”
"Thank you!" Mao Leyan said decisively.
Liu Zezhong stared at her for a moment, turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at Mao Leyan, "The people of Yunwulou will always chase and kill you, and Xiao Wang can't stop this matter, their rule is that the goal is not to die, and you will not give up, you yourself are careful in everything." ”
Mao Leyan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to take the initiative to admit that he was looking for a killer to kill her, and ridiculously asked her to be careful, this is too much of putting the cart before the horse, right?
