The emperor has no children so far, it is not only a royal matter, but also a matter related to the succession of the country and the society in the future, and the ministers are also very anxious. The triennial selection process is in full swing. In order to let the heirs of the royal family have a good background, the selection is only in the official eunuch's family. In fact, strictly speaking, it is not yet the time for the three-year selection, but the queen mother saw that King Qing had also had a son, but the concubine was still silent, so she had to order the draft to be advanced. In fact, this selection was not really as announced to the outside world, it was selected in the official eunuch's house, but it had already been decided, their father and brother were all important members of the imperial court, and one of them was Liu Yiyi, the sister of the leader of the martial arts alliance. Liu Yiyi had assisted the imperial court in solving a case a few years ago, and she had known the emperor for a long time, and Liu Yiyi fell in love with the emperor at first sight, but the emperor didn't want to have too much contact with people in the martial arts at that time, and ignored Liu Yiyi's friendship.

Liu Yiyi is more than 20 years old, but she has not yet married, she misses the emperor Liu gradually in her heart, she insists on marrying Liu Yan, her brother has no choice but to promise the emperor that as long as the emperor is willing to marry Liu Yiyi, he will do his best to help the emperor eliminate the chaotic party. Liu gradually disagreed at first, who knew that Liu Yiyi's brother mentioned this matter again a few days ago, because now that the chaotic party is raging, he has no choice but to accept the deal.

In fact, leaving everything aside, he has a good impression of Liu Yiyi. She is strong in martial arts, righteous, and knows how to advance and retreat, although she was born in the rivers and lakes, she does not have the slightest atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and she is like a beautiful girl. Once he also had an instant temptation for Liu Yiyi, but he knew his identity, emotion was the most dangerous thing, especially if he came from martial arts, once he had true feelings, he was afraid that things would be uncertain in the future.

That beauty, he would rather hide it in his heart, but now, he has to compromise because of the tense situation.

Mao Leyan didn't expect that he would be involved in this so-called royal event. I never thought that this selection would be related to me.

The matter has to be pushed back half a month ago, and it was Mo Li's investigation that found that Mao Leyan actually had a magical weapon, in fact, Mo Li has not let go of his suspicions about Mao Leyan, and has been monitoring Mao Leyan these days. And Mao Leyan is not a person in troubled times after all, she thinks that even if Mo Li doubts her, after so many things, he should release his doubts. Therefore, in the second test of the explosive package, she only avoided Liu Zezhong's ears and eyes, but she didn't expect Mo Li to see it.

The power of the second test was much greater than the first, and Mo Li was shocked on the spot. He pondered for a long time and replied to the emperor. At that time, the Queen Mother had already proposed the selection, Mo Li thought that since it was to stabilize the hearts of all the important members, even Liu Yiyi was included in the palace, and he suggested that the Queen Mother should come forward and let Mao Leyan recognize the prime minister as his goddaughter and include her in the palace. His purpose was to use Mao Leyan's weapon, although he always thought that Mao Leyan was a person who was a rebel, but it could be seen that she had a special affection for the emperor, otherwise she would have had many good opportunities to kill the emperor, and she let it go, proving that she didn't want him to die. If she can be kept for her own use, even if she can't, at least let her have a disagreement with the rebel party and reduce the threat to the imperial court. Although he didn't believe in Mao Leyan, he admired her ability very much, so if she could enter the palace and let her fall in love with the emperor, then things would be much easier.

Liu gradually opposed Mo Li's proposal, he knew that his heart, the feeling for Mao Leyan was very unique, he didn't want to force her to enter the palace because of his own selfishness, and besides, he thought that the palace was not suitable for Mao Leyan, a woman like her who acted recklessly should not be restricted by the palace rules and lose her original character. The ancestors have the rules of the ancestors, even if he likes her again, he can only like her outside the palace, maintain her outside the palace, once he enters the palace, he can't protect her, because in this way, he will lose the true meaning of this selection. He wants to win people's hearts and stabilize people's hearts through the means of sealing concubines, if he blindly protects Mao Leyan, then the harem must be resentful, the harem is resentful, and the previous dynasty is also unstable, in this way, what he did was not done in vain? Therefore, he resolutely opposed Mo Li's proposal.

It's just that Mo Li didn't give up, he heard that there was an old Taoist in King Qing's mansion, this old Taoist fairy wind and bones, like a god, he found King Qing, said his plan, and asked King Qing to find this old way on his behalf, let him enter the palace to make a statement to the emperor and the queen mother. He believed that under various factors, the emperor would agree to let Mao Leyan enter the palace.

King Qing listened to Mo Li's plan and blurted out angrily, "This king will not allow you to use her like this." ”

Mo Li frowned and said, "Now that it's happened, can you always have children in your mind?" She is likely to be a rebel, wouldn't it be better if she was allowed to enter the palace to influence her and keep her for her own use? ”

"You also said that she is likely to be a person who is in turmoil, and letting someone who is in turmoil enter the palace doesn't put the emperor in danger? Never! King Qing's attitude is very resolute, in the bottom of his heart, there is always a selfishness, he can't let Mao Leyan enter the palace like this, he hopes that through his waiting, he can move her, and now he can't break his own thoughts.

Mo Li analyzed: "She didn't have the intention of killing the emperor, she thought it was just an internal response of the enemy, but this internal response may not be done according to the meaning of the chaotic party, I think she is a very thoughtful woman, if she can start from the emotional aspect, she will definitely be able to break through her defense line and let her give up the weapon in her hand." ”

King Qing glared at him, "It turns out that you have the idea of fighting in this regard, you want weapons, you can find Zhao Zhenyu, why do you have to let her enter the palace?" Wouldn't it be easier to start with Zhao Zhenyu? ”

Mo Li was slightly stunned, "It turns out that you know everything?" He always thought that he was the first to discover the secret of Mao Leyan, but he didn't expect King Qing to know that she had such a weapon.

King Qing said lightly: "She thought that this king didn't know, but this king already knew that she had left a man named Zhao Zhenyu on Mao Yuan's side, and the two were secretly making weapons. ”

Mo Li smiled, "You planted Neiying next to her?" ”

King Qing was noncommittal, only showed an indifferent and distant expression, stared at Mo Li, and said: "Your plan, even the emperor opposes it, which proves that he doesn't want Mao Leyan to enter the palace in his heart." Why are you obsessed with that? This king will not help you, and he will not agree to let Mao Leyan enter the palace, because in reputation, she is the king's woman. ”

Mo Li smiled lightly and said, "You also said that she was famous, but in fact she was not." It's not unclear what the situation is now. King Jing returned to the southwest, waiting for Liu Zezhong to invade in one fell swoop, the chaotic party is raging day by day, and the frontier is still undecided, who knows what other branches can be born? ”

King Qing was silent for a moment, what Mo Li said, how could he not know? After thinking for a while, he frowned and said: "If there is a real war at that time, Mao Leyan may not help us, and this has nothing to do with whether she enters the palace or not." The king has always believed that she is on the side of the court. ”

"Even if you find someone to spy on her, that is, you don't trust her, how can you guarantee that she will definitely do it? Besides, if she hands over her weapons to the rebels, what the consequences will be, I don't need to say, you understand. Mo Li warned.

King Qing fell into a long silence, a deathly silence spread between the two of them, and although it was autumn, the weather was still so hot that people were dizzy. King Qing saw the firmness and persistence in Mo Li's eyes from the blurry daylight, he knew that all of Mo Li's thoughts were in the court, the country belonged to the Liu family, and he was also from the Liu country, and he really couldn't stop Mo Li's actions for his own selfishness. just asked him to let Mao Leyan enter the palace, just thinking about it, his heart hurt so much.

After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "You let this king think about it." ”

Mo Li knew that he couldn't force him too hard now, it was not easy to give up the person he loved in his heart, although he was not in love, but he had also seen people who were crazy about love, and he knew that at this stage, if he used improper force, it would have the opposite effect. Now he was going to use the power of love to let Mao Leyan share the emperor's worries, so he had to let King Qing figure it out, otherwise once there was chaos in the future, he wouldn't be able to control his heart, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

After Mo left, King Qing once went to find Mao Leyan, looking at Mao Leyan's clear eyes, he suddenly felt that he was very despicable, obviously he had her in his heart, but he wanted to design her to enter the game, just for the powerful weapon in her hand. He even resented Mao Leyan's talent, if she was just a mediocre woman, she would not have the difficult situation she has today. It's just that when I think about it the other way, she's really just a mediocre person, and he doesn't indulge in his own heart.

Mo Li waited for two days, and finally waited for King Qing's compromise. It's just that the two of them have been looking for the old way for a long time, but they don't know his traces. Both of them were a little helpless, and they were thinking about finding another monk to make a statement to the emperor, but in the palace, they ushered in the person who Mo Li had been waiting for a long time.

Lao Dao came to the door by himself, and no one knew why he suddenly appeared in front of the door of the imperial study, and the guards were like great enemies, but he said with a kind smile that he asked to see the emperor. King Qing and Mo Li were also there at that time, and the moment King Qing saw Lao Dao, he knew that things had entered a situation where there was no way to turn around, so he had to let the situation develop according to the trajectory it should have.

The emperor and Lao Dao discussed for a long time in the imperial study, and in the end, they agreed to Mo Li's proposal. When Lao Dao came out, he walked up to King Qing and Mo Li, and said with a smile: "Poor Dao knows that you are looking for Poor Dao, but Poor Dao can help you, so that's it, and you have to handle the rest yourself." Mao Leyan is not a person who is easy to fiddle with design, and it is not easy for her to enter the palace, unless, you find her death. ”

Mo Li hurriedly asked, Lao Dao smiled slightly, whispered a few words to the two, and drifted away.

Mo Li hesitated for a moment and asked King Qing, "Based on what you see, is this method feasible?" ”

King Qing was a little distracted, and when he heard Mo Li's question, he looked up at Mo Li slightly, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes, "This king doesn't know." ”

Mo Li pondered for a moment, "There is no other way now, but I finally persuaded the emperor, but I can't give up." ”

King Qing was silent, the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree outside the imperial study were luxuriant, the light and shadow fell on his gloomy face from the gap in the branches, the pain in his eyes was like a dense fog that could not be dissolved, Mo Li would think of King Qing's expression on this day after a long time, at that time, he was not very shaken, but when he himself was deeply involved, he understood that many things, from the moment of decision, were a mistake.
