Yuehua was still a little puzzled and didn't understand the meaning.

"The father originally chose to inherit the throne, and it was indeed the second brother Chenwang, but the second brother has one of the most fatal weaknesses, that is, he is too affectionate and indecisive. His mother's concubine family is on the same page as the Chang family. King Chen is simply unable to balance the balance between the two, once he succeeds to the throne, his mother's concubine family will take advantage of the situation, and the Chang family will be killed, and the family will be wiped out, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, before his father died, he also wanted to make a desperate bet to get rid of the Chang family and pave the way for King Chen, and with the help of King Chen's mother's family.

He understands that there must be two results in this adventure, one is to win and successfully eradicate the Chang family, then the second brother will inherit the throne and show his skills. The second, and most likely, is that if it fails, King Chen will also be defeated and lose his qualifications to inherit the throne.

It is impossible for the Chang family to be the emperor in name, and the empress dowager must find a puppet emperor to inherit the throne. In that case, the power of the Chang family will expand more and more, controlling the entire court. ”

Yuehua only understood the intention of the first emperor at this time: "Therefore, the first emperor had the foresight to let you deliberately approach the empress dowager and gain her trust." Once you fail, you are the puppet emperor in the hands of the Empress Dowager! ”

Mo Guhan nodded: "I am helpless in the court, and I am young and ignorant, so I am the most suitable puppet candidate, so that my Mo family's Jiangshan Sheji will not be left behind."

Once, when my father was assessing my homework, it happened that Lord Zhao, the prime minister of the left, came in to discuss the matter, and my father was in a good mood that day, so he deliberately teased me and asked me to judge. It was that time that I first showed my edge in front of my father. I remember very well that day my father stroked my head, and said earnestly, feeling that God could not give him a few more years, and he could grow up with me, and there would be successors.

He made this decision that day and entrusted me to Lord Zhao. He asked me to deliberately approach the Empress Dowager, but I had to restrain my edge, try to be as dull and well-behaved as possible, so that the Empress Dowager would like me.

I don't know what happened back then, I only know that the family of Queen Chen's mother and concubine was uprooted from the court by the Chang family. My father failed, and soon died, and before his death, according to the will of the empress dowager, I was appointed as the new king.

Lord Zhao had long been found by his father for a reason, and his official was demoted by two levels, but he was saved in the later battle. He found me at this time, so that when I was still in my fledgling, I would still be obscure, obey the orders of the Empress Dowager, and not be disobedient. He gave me a secret decree of the emperor, that is, I must fulfill my last wish on behalf of my father, eradicate the Chang family, and defend my Mo family.

Later, Lord Zhao died of illness, and I took over, and invited Shao Ziqing three times, before I began to plot to seize power, which is also the main reason why I was able to gradually control half of the court with my bare hands and compete with the Chang family. ”

Mo Guhan told it without concealment, and Yuehua couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I only know that in this treacherous court dispute, the Empress Dowager is the final winner, who can keep the Chang family standing tall and carry it forward, and occupy the court. As everyone knows, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and before the first emperor died, he had already laid out this chess game as a retreat for himself to turn the tables.

At the same time, Yuehua also felt distressed and proud of Mo Guhan. At that time, he was still a child, and he was still coquettish in his mother's arms, but he was able to face the scheming Empress Dowager alone, and disguised himself tightly in front of her, even the old Jiang Mi Spicy Empress Dowager was kept in the dark by him.

How strong a mind, how much courage and courage does this require?

The first emperor saw real gold with his eyes, and he could see at a glance that Mo Guhan was a material that could be made, and he was actually more suitable for ruling the country than King Chen.

"So King Chen has always had a grudge against the emperor because of what happened back then?"

Mo Guhan nodded: "It's inevitable to think about it, he probably always thought in his heart that it was me who robbed him of his country." ”

"Then the emperor thinks, is it still possible to turn a war with King Chen into a jade silk?"

"Among the brothers of King Chen, Wen Taowu is the best, and he is also expected by everyone, I want to get back on good terms with him, but his prejudice against me is deep-rooted, how easy is it to talk about?"

"Prejudice? It's probably just a struggle for the throne. Your Majesty, you don't have to feel guilty in your heart, because you didn't take this country from him, but you took it from the Empress Dowager step by step for the Mo family.

When the first emperor laid out this move in advance, including telling my father to fully assist you and pave the way for you, it was passed on to your mind, but when you were young, the first emperor was afraid that you were not the opponent of the empress dowager.

If there was no you at the beginning, the first emperor would have made a desperate bet and struck with all his might, but now he has fallen short, to put it mildly, the ambition of the wolf son of the Chang family, it is not impossible for the country to change hands.

Then, there is no reason for King Chen's grudge against you at the beginning. What's more, through his letter to my brother-in-law, it can be seen that King Chen still knows righteousness, high wind and bright festival, if he can work together with the emperor, then he will be a good person, like a tiger with wings. ”

Mo Guhan listened to Yuehua's persuasion and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Yuehua, in fact, I have always had such a depression in my heart. I feel guilty in my heart, so I have never dared to face King Chen, no wonder the misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper, and we are not close enough. ”

"The Emperor?"

"I'm willing to give it a try and see if I can get rid of my previous suspicions with King Chen. Although King Chen was suppressed by the Empress Dowager and her party and repeatedly degraded, his talent for governing the country has always been admired by me. I don't have many good talents available now, and Han Yuchu inevitably lacks qualifications and training, so that he relies too much on Shao Xiang. It would be great if King Chen was willing to help me fulfill my father's last wish. ”

Yuehua nodded: "Then the concubine will wish the emperor success first." ”

Mo Guhan gently took her into his arms and said softly: "In the past, I was too cautious, I was full of vigilance against everyone around me, unwilling to open my heart knot, accommodate and trust others, and hold all the power in the DPRK and China tightly in my own hands. It was you who made me understand that doubting is also a kind of harm to others. As an emperor, I must know how to make good use of people, so that the road will become wider and wider. ”

Yuehua nestled in his arms, looking up at his chin, which looked bony because of his emaciation. He has carried too much and borne too much, and he can solve problems for him, share some worries, and he can be more relaxed.

"I believe he will be able to understand the painstaking efforts of the former emperor and the emperor."

Mo Guhan grabbed her hand and played carefully: "What about King Hao and my other imperial brothers?" What if they are deceived and become enemies of me? You can't always move it all with emotion, and you know it with reason, right? ”

Yuehua shook his head and groaned slightly: "For several princes, Yuehua is just on the banquet, there are only a few sides, and he is not familiar with his temperament, so Yuehua does not dare to judge." It's just that if they want to go their own way and be ambitious, the concubines are bold, and they feel that it is better to take the initiative than to sit and wait for them to take action, be used by the Empress Dowager, fight with each other, and finally end up killing each other. ”

Mo Guhan raised his eyebrows: "It coincides with me, I also have such thoughts, but Shao Xiang has always advised me to brake quietly." ”

"Then what is the emperor's plan?"

Mo Guhan said in a deep voice: "Let them know that I am on guard, and they are not opponents themselves, so naturally they don't dare to take risks." ”

Yuehua nodded and smiled slightly: "That concubine has an axe and gives the emperor a bad idea." ”

"Bad idea?"

"Yes, it's nasty, and it's mean."

Mo Guhan was full of interest, and leaned over half of his body: "Becoming a big thing is not informal, hurry up and listen to it." ”

"It's a very vulgar method, but it's also the most effective, and it's hostage."

The corners of Mo Guhan's lips hooked slightly: "You mean, take all the princes in the palace of my royal brothers as hostages, so that they will not dare to act rashly?" ”

Yuehua nodded: "Throughout the ages, there are precedents to follow, but this degree is not easy to grasp, lest the other party jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

Mo Guhan only groaned slightly, and he already had a plan in his heart: "In the past, there was a royal academy in the Hanlin Academy in the palace, which specialized in teaching the princes their homework, and then the vassal kings read with the princes in the prince's mansion. It's a good idea, but I don't have any heirs under my knees now, so I don't have a reason. ”

Yuehua pondered silently for a moment, and raised her face: "In the past, when the Empress Dowager was at her birthday banquet, she once taught Yuehua that if she didn't have a chance, she would create an opportunity by herself. Those sons rely on their father's power, and they are inevitably arrogant and domineering, and they do not learn and have no skills. If they find an opportunity to make them commit one or two wrong things, the emperor can naturally easily grasp the handle, and use this excuse to bring those sons into the palace, and enter the school under the unified control of the master. ”

Mo Guhan was stunned for a while, and Orr hugged Yuehua's waist tightly: "My queen is simply the middle of the women." This matter has been bothering me for several days, and I have been thinking about it repeatedly with Shao Xiang, but there is no perfect way. Let the queen be confined in the deep palace, busy with the flies and dogs, but she is talented. ”

Yuehua smiled: "The emperor is getting better and better at saying sweet words." Shao Xiang: What kind of talent is that, how can he even be helpless about these little things? The emperor is just raising the concubine. ”

Mo Guhan shook his head: "There is a good saying, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." The court is intricate, and Shao Xiangxu is in it, so he has a lot of concerns, and he is timid to do things, it is not as bold as the queen, and the ideas are more novel. ”

"The emperor trusts Yuehua, and Yuehua spares no effort, but after all, she is a daughter, short-sighted, and not thoughtful enough, and the emperor himself considers the pros and cons."

Mo Guhan chuckled, his eyes were full of doting: "I will never let you go in the future, you not only have to be my queen, but also my emperor and queen, my Chang'an country, there is also half of you, you also have to worry more about me." ”
