Chapter 131: Eyeing the Tiger
Mo Li knew that his decision this time was very risky, and it was indeed a helpless move to disclose his position, and he also knew that he had been the woman's knife all these years.
There are many people who have offended in the court, except for Mo Lan, there are other people, but because he is a person in the court, it is rumored that the emperor favors him alone, it seems that this is indeed the case, whether it is true or not, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and Mo Li can only use his power to block some potential enemies now.
There are also some people who have mortal enmity with him, and they will definitely not be afraid of the emperor's power far away in the sky. Just like Mo Lan. So it's still a bit dangerous to go back to Beijing today.
"Master, my subordinates sent someone to Beijing to spread the news, hurry up, and arrive in Beijing in ten days at the latest, but when the people in Beijing come, I'm afraid it will take fifteen days at the earliest, and the two times add up to almost a month, I don't know if the master has a plan?"
Lei hopes that Mo Li can think of some way, otherwise it will naturally take a long time to wait for someone from Beijing to answer, and it will change later. Lei was afraid that Mo Li would be in danger if he stayed for a long time, and Mo Li was also worried about Tao Li'er's safety, "This king knows, you can't wait, you go and plan a nearest route back to Beijing, and then let someone notify the local county order and arrange a special escort, we must return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
Lei nodded, and then immediately went to do it, the group stayed in Quanshan County for a few days, and then they were about to leave in a low-key manner, Quanshan County Ling wanted to prepare more manpower for Mo Li, but Mo Li refused, just asked Zhang County Commander to let his government soldiers quickly pretend to be businessmen, and send him to the next destination.
Along the way, only Tao Xiaoxue followed Mo Li and Tao Li'er, just like the original setting, an ordinary carriage, leaving only Feng as the coachman, and the rest of the disguises were hidden as passers-by, secretly protecting Mo Li's safety.
Along the way, everyone avoided several groups of people without danger, and by the time the capital received the news, Mo Li and his party had already traveled a little halfway.
The Imperial Palace of the capital, the Queen's Sleeping Palace.
"Someone assassinated? Bengong had already persuaded him to come back, but he just didn't come back, and now it's good, and the problem is dragging out. ”
In the palace, a palace maid knelt in front of a woman, holding an envelope in her hand, and the graceful and luxuriously dressed woman had a thin anger on her face, while looking at the letter in her hand.
A face still has charm, but there are a few more fine lines at the corners of the eyes, and from the contours of the face, there is still a bit of posture when you are young. This person is the queen of Donglinguo, the sister of the prime minister of the dynasty, Taishi Yunhong.
There was a hurried footstep outside, "Queen Mother! Mo Lan, that bastard, is openly against me above the court again! You don't even think of me! ”
A man in a yellow shirt hurriedly came in, and along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
The man ignored it and walked straight towards the queen, "Queen Mother, when will Mo Li return to Beijing?" ”
The queen frowned and looked at her son, her face was a little displeased, "Why are you here?" Today I heard that you were trained by the emperor again? How did you do it, don't go to your father to admit your mistake at this time, what are you doing here in this palace? ”
The prince was also a little unhappy when he was trained, "Queen Mother, Erchen can't help it, Mo Lan, this bastard, has been biting people like a mad dog recently, didn't you say a few days ago that he secretly instructed people to take down a lot of our people?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was also implicated, and in the past few days, he has been eyeing his sons again, and he has repeatedly found bad luck with his sons. ”
The queen frowned, "If you don't leave a handle on things, how can people take advantage of loopholes to trick you?" You must have done something that this palace doesn't know, say! Did you go to the Red Mansion again? ”
The queen's expression was stern, and the prince quickly denied it when he heard it, "Queen Mother, Erchen is not because of the Red Mansion this time, I was told by you last time, and Erchen has not been there again, this time because Mo Lan didn't know where to find the account book of the last disaster relief, Erchen took out some silver from the disaster relief silver, and he found it, and deliberately sued in front of his father, and also in front of hundreds of civil and military officials." ”
The prince said, his face became more and more ugly, "The father and the emperor looked at the face of the son, and the son is still fresh in his memory, the father scolded the son in the court, and then the son was called to the imperial study alone, and the father scolded the son again, I was wrong for a long time, Mo Lan stood aside and watched the excitement!" ”
The queen didn't expect Mo Lan to actually stretch out his hand directly to her son, before he came back to be crazy, and the person who touched her was forgotten, but he didn't expect to reach out to the prince so soon, it was really arrogant.
But...... The queen suddenly turned to look at the prince in front of her, Mo Yu, her own son, and she hated iron in her heart, because she had been raised since she was a child, otherwise she didn't know how much she would not be successful.
Mo Li is not her own child, but she is so talented and intelligent that she wants to treat him as her own son, but if he is not his own, he is not his own after all, Mo Li can only become the knife and shield in the hands of his son, and he has been like this for so many years.
It's just that...... The prince is too dependent on Mo Li, Mo Li is not for a while, and now he is in a mess, this is not a good sign, Mo Li naturally wants to find it back, before her son is fledgling, Mo Li will always act as his sword and shield.
"Do you have a way to deal with Mo Lan yourself?" The queen asked the prince seriously, the prince looked distressed, and looked at the queen with some doubts, "Queen Mother, let's discuss these issues together after Mo Li comes back, for Mo Lan, Mo Li knows more than Erchen, and he has more ideas than Erchen." ”
The queen was about to be angry when she heard this, she glared at the prince, and in her heart she was thinking about how this son was born to her, "You are the prince!" You know what that means! The crown prince is the prince, and the throne will be yours in the future, but being the emperor is not such a simple thing, how did I teach you since I was a child? What exactly did you learn? ”
The prince didn't expect that he would say this, and the queen mother would be so angry, and he was a little stunned for a while, "The queen mother, the son is just saying, I naturally know what the prince means, but even the father can't do it all by himself, don't you think the father also has a hundred civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to share his worries and solve problems?" ”
This is still like a human saying, but unfortunately it is not enough, the queen glared at the prince, turned back to her phoenix couch, leaned on it, closed her eyes slightly, and then said lazily and imposingly: "Prince, it's not that the queen mother wants to talk about you, it's just that you have to know one thing." ”
The crown prince knelt in front of the queen, and the queen half-opened her eyes, "Your father and the emperor are not false in using civil and military officials, and you must first look at people and see them clearly, so that you can use them well, and when you use them, you must ensure that you suppress them." ”
