Chapter 357 The Tilt of Power
Shi Qingxue said in her heart, why is this little highness still so unable to withstand the blow as when he was a child?
How many words did she say? Discouraged again......
Tsk, sure enough, children are children.
Shi Qingxue really didn't worry about letting Mo Junzhan go to the Northland at this time!
Who knows if the mastermind behind the scenes in the previous life will attack Mo Junzhan again?
Mo Junzhan may be a good hand at fighting, but it's better to play conspiracy or something! It's sure to be a lot of fun.
"Of course not." Shi Qingxue readily gave a negative answer.
When Mo Junzhan looked up, she didn't dodge or dodge, and looked back at the past frankly.
Mo Junzhan showed a relaxed expression at this time, and finally had a slight smile on his face, "Then you ......"
"I just want to say, you have gone to the Northland now, and you don't know that you won't come back until the Year of the Monkey, what should we do about our competition?"
Shi Qingxue went around and around, turning her focus back to their competition.
It seems a little too wordy, but it just makes Mo Junzhan believe that she really just cares about the archery competition.
I no longer worry about whether I have the ability or not?
He snorted and asked helplessly, "Sister Xue, do you have a way?" ”
In the past, when the two of them encountered problems when they did bad things, Shi Qingxue came up with the idea, and then Mo Junzhan implemented it unconditionally.
Now that they've grown up, the two of them still keep this 'tradition' very well.
Shi Qingxue smiled and said logically, "Then you will go later." ”
"Huh?!"
Mo Junzhan always felt that something was wrong, but he was used to trusting Shi Qingxue, and he didn't doubt it for too long, so he nodded and responded: "That, that's okay!" I won't tell my father that I'm going to the Northlands. ”
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "It's not that Your Majesty sent you to the Northland, but what you want to go to?" ”
Mo Junzhan: "Of course, my father wants to trap me in the imperial city, how can he take the initiative to give an order?" ”
"That ......" Shi Qingxue seemed to have caught a key point.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Then how did you come up with the idea of going to the Northland?" ”
"Brother Four Emperors told me!" Mo Junzhan was completely wrong to hide it from Shi Qingxue. "On the day I returned to Beijing, the Fourth Emperor Brother happened to come out of the city to pick me up, and when I chatted with me, he mentioned the tense situation in the north, and said that no one in the court was willing to go to the north to fight the enemy.
As the son of my father, I should naturally share my father's worries! ”
Mo Junzhan said it as a matter of course, but seeing Shi Qingxue's face sinking little by little, he was also a little unsure.
"Sister Snow?" Mo Junzhan wondered if he had said the wrong thing, otherwise why would his always cheerful Sister Xue show such a gloomy expression.
It's kind of scary.
Shi Qingxue ignored his doubts, just stared at him and asked in an almost rigid tone, "Did Mo Junhao bring it up?" ”
Mo Junzhan didn't notice that Shi Qingxue directly called Mo Junhao's name, and only nodded honestly, "It was said by the fourth emperor brother." ”
He paused, thinking that he had captured Shi Qingxue's point, and hurriedly explained: "But this is my own desire to go to the Northland, and it has nothing to do with the Four Emperor Brothers, you don't want to ......"
Don't want anything?
Mo Junzhan couldn't tell, he just didn't want to see Shi Qingxue angry.
In the eyes of even the most astute people, this situation will seem to be very sparse and ordinary.
The two brothers communicated normally, and Mo Junhao only casually mentioned the situation in the Northland, and did not even mention the matter of letting Mo Junzhan go to the Northland.
What will happen after that is all Mo Junzhan's thoughts.
But Shi Qingxue knows Mo Junzhan's temperament too well, he was aroused by Mo Junhao's curiosity, and he will fall into the pit by himself without persuasion!
I thought that Mo Junzhan would die after going to the Northland, and there were no bones......
"Mo Junhao!"
Shi Qingxue gritted her teeth and snorted, and her anger couldn't stop leaking out.
She really couldn't understand that among the princes, Mo Junzhan, the ninth prince, and Mo Junwen, the second prince, were almost completely uncompetitive, why did Mo Junhao poison a brother who was even helpful to him?
Is he really so unforgiving?
In his previous life, Mo Junwen died of illness at a young age, did he also have his handiwork?
The more Shi Qingxue thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she hated her 'blindness' in her previous life.
"Snow, sister, what's wrong with you?" Mo Junzhan was a little frightened by Shi Qingxue's sudden anger, and looked at it with wide eyes.
Shi Qingxue couldn't tell the other party the truth, she was a little aggrieved in her heart, and she wanted to pull the other party's ears and scold people to wake up: Mo Junhao is not a good thing, you believe the wrong person!
However, she still didn't say anything, and was silent for a long time, and then suppressed all her anger before she said, "Anyway, we have agreed to test archery first, so you have to wait until we are done with the competition before you do anything else." ”
Mo Junzhan nodded in agreement, "Okay." ”
"Moreover, if you don't pass the martial arts, you will have to retreat and practice for a year or two before you can mention the matter of going to the battlefield again." Shi Qingxue gave a request.
Mo Junzhan frowned, a little reluctant, but seeing Qing Xue's resolute face, he reluctantly said: "Okay, what you said is right, if I don't have the ability, even if I go to the battlefield, it will be troublesome for people." ”
Shi Qingxue was satisfied with Mo Junzhan's 'acquaintance', and decided not to tell the other party, she was just worried that Mo Junzhan had gone to the Northland and had no ability to protect himself.
In fact, Mo Junzhan is indeed talented in arranging troops and marching to fight.
At this point, Shi Lei commented on Mo Junzhan when he was alive.
He said that some men are born to fight and die to stand.
People like Mo Junzhan are destined to be a horse for the rest of their lives, and the horse leather shroud.
Shi Qingxue also agreed with this statement, so she couldn't accept that Mo Junzhan was killed on the battlefield in that aggrieved way.
The two had different thoughts in their hearts, but in the end they came to an agreement on the matter.
————
On April 15, the 43rd year of Da Mo, Mo Xiangbin once again issued two holy decrees, which shocked everyone.
One is to marry Liang Zixin, the granddaughter of the Liang family, to the crown prince Mo Junyu, and crown her title as the crown princess.
The second holy decree was given to Mo Junhao.
Mo Xiangbin named Mo Junhao as the king of the virtuous and gave the fief of the northern region, and said that the northern region and the adjacent land of the Liang Kingdom were not very peaceful recently, so he ordered the king of Xian to go to the fief as soon as possible to garrison it, so as to protect the stability of the northern region and appease the people.
If the first decree is only to tell everyone in the court that the princelings are officially allied with the forces headed by Prime Minister Liang, then the second decree is undoubtedly to truly clarify the future heir of Da Mo.
During the princely period, the title of king should be the most glorious thing, and even to some extent it added help to the prince's struggle for the throne.
But all this is based on the fact that this prince can still remain in the center of power.
Like Mo Junhao, a king immediately drove people to the fiefdom, which was clearly to cut off his desire to compete for the throne.
Now the most favorable heirs to the throne are Mo Junhao and Mo Junyu, and the two sides are almost evenly matched.
For a while, no one will try to please him.
But as soon as Mo Xiangbin's holy decree came out, Mo Junhao was eliminated from the center of power in a blink of an eye.
He is paving the way for Mo Junyu's future accession to the throne!
The former harem, ministers and magnates were all frightened by Mo Xiangbin's will.
No one knows why Mo Xiangbin suddenly chose Mo Junyu firmly, but once the edict was issued, there was no chance to change it.
The forces that had originally maintained neutrality in the court began to move, and the four princes and their party were hit hard, and some people also acted quietly behind their backs.
When Mo Junhao received this holy decree, the whole person was stunned.
His first reaction was impossible, that the decree was false.
That night, he entered the palace with the holy decree and asked to see Mo Xiangbin.
Mo Xiangbin probably knew that he expected Mo Junhao to come, so he greeted the guards early, so when Mo Junhao came in, he was not hindered.
When Mo Junhao saw Mo Xiangbin, he first greeted him, "How is my father doing recently?" ”
Mo Xiangbin coughed lightly twice before he said in his weak tone, "Everything is fine with me." You entered the palace late at night, what is the so-called? ”
In fact, both of them knew the purpose of Mo Junhao's entry into the palace, but Mo Xiangbin asked so.
Mo Junhao replied: "Erchen received your holy decree to make Erchen a virtuous king today......
"The will is made by me." Mo Xiangbin didn't wait for Mo Junhao to continue, and directly informed the other party of the answer.
He even said bluntly: "Now that you have received the Holy Decree, prepare quickly and leave for the Northland as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint me." ”
Mo Xiangbin deliberately accentuated the word 'disappointed' to remind Mo Junhao not to do anything superfluous.
Mo Junhao's face changed suddenly, and he glared at Mo Xiangbin in disbelief.
After a while, he asked in a trembling voice: "Why?" ”
Obviously, Mo Xiangbin was still very optimistic about him before, and even prepared to abolish Mo Junyu and make him the crown prince?
Hasn't he always been Mo Xiangbin's favorite son?
Why has it only been so long that everything has changed?
Mo Xiangbin gave up on him, and even ...... Banish him!
Mo Junhao couldn't accept such an answer, and looked at Mo Xiangbin sadly, stubbornly seeking an answer.
However, Mo Xiangbin just looked at him calmly and almost coldly, and said slowly: "The crown prince is the eldest son, the prince of the country, if there is no big mistake, how can he be abolished."
As a courtier, you should always remember your identity, and don't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise even I won't be able to protect you. ”
This is already a bit threatening.
Mo Junhao's face was stunned, and he didn't seem to have recovered from Mo Xiangbin's words.
I don't know how long it took, Mo Xiangbin almost thought that Mo Junhao was moved by what he said, but when he saw the other party, he suddenly smiled.
The laughter is low, eerie, and creepy.
Mo Xiangbin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and lowered his voice and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Laughing at what?" Mo Junhao repeated Mo Xiangbin's words in a flat voice, and then showed a self-deprecating smile, "It's so stupid for me to laugh at me, I actually put my hope on you." I should have known that you were the most unreliable, father! ”
