Chapter 172: Clever Argument
"Oh? So, I'd love to hear your reasoning. "The queen was very interested.
Mo Lizheng color, "One of these is because of my reputation, the people and courtiers in Beijing know that the king is an out-and-out straw bag, if he really becomes the emperor, I am afraid he will not be able to convince the public." ”
The queen nodded, "Indeed, this is one reason, but it is not enough to explain the whole thing, as long as you show your edge in the future, I believe that many people will change their opinion of you." ”
Mo Li nodded when he heard this, "There is indeed such a possibility, but there is a second reason, the queen mother also said that the prime minister is powerful, and it is not comparable to me as a waste prince, it is true that what I lack is this, background." ”
The queen agreed in her heart, but her face was silent, Mo Li continued: "If there is no one to support you as an emperor, the foundation will be unstable sooner or later, so I don't think I can be an emperor, and I never think I can be an emperor." ”
"And the crown prince is different, there are some courtiers who support it, and the external statement is also a virtuous image of the prince, these are still secondary, and His Royal Highness the main prince has a backstage, that is, the Taishi family." Mo Li then began to talk about the crown prince.
"The head of the Taishi family is the prime minister, if we are enemies of the prime minister, how can he support us?" The Empress was obviously a little skeptical of Mo Li's statement.
Mo Li said with a smile: "The head of the family is just a position, he can't replace the wishes of the entire Taishi family, and when the prince becomes the emperor, what do you want to do with the Taishi family is not a matter of words, if you want to use it for your own use, just dispose of the prime minister, I believe that the Taishi family will also be grateful to the prince at that time." ”
The queen was a little moved, and Mo Li made persistent efforts, "Queen Mother, now that the prime minister is ambitious, the only one who can compete with him in the court is Mo Lan, but after all, Mo Lan has not been crowned king for a few years, and Concubine Chen is not taken seriously, and even his father has some opinions about him. ”
After Mo Li finished speaking, the queen didn't give an accurate answer in the end, Mo Li felt that everything that should be said was said, as for what the queen thought, that was her business, Mo Li was confident, the queen would definitely figure it out later, Mo Li finally said: "That's it." "Let the queen think about it, and she is also going home, this kind of thing is the best.
Just now he came out of the imperial study, and he was indeed ready to go back to the house, but he had just solved a major matter, and he had been accompanying Tao Li'er in the house for a few days, and by the way, he urged the enchanting to investigate Tao Li'er's life experience.
He had a faint premonition in his heart, that is, he didn't know if it was right or not, but thinking of the death-free gold medal he asked for for Tao Li'er, his heart relaxed a little, with the death-free gold medal, Tao Li'er should not have to worry about her life, but now Tao Li'er is not the time to be exposed, and she still has to let Tao Xiaoxue cover for her for a while.
Mo Li returned to the mansion, subconsciously asked Tao Li'er's location, he wanted to hand over this death-free gold medal to Tao Li'er in person, the enchanting seemed to see Mo Li's plan, and asked directly, "Does the master want to hand over the death-free gold medal to Miss Tao for safekeeping?" ”
Mo Li glanced at her lightly, "What, isn't it okay?" What do you want to say? The enchanting was not embarrassed, and said respectfully: "Master, now the subordinates have not found out the background of Miss Tao, I am afraid that it is not good to put such a valuable thing as the death-free gold medal on Miss Tao, it is really too eye-catching." ”
Mo Li's expression froze when he heard this, and his brows furrowed, "It's because this king is not thoughtful." Enchanting bowed her head, "The master just cares about chaos, this is human nature." ”
Mo Li took out the holy decree from his sleeve, "This holy decree will be handed over to you for safekeeping first, and then take it out at the critical moment, on the father's side, this king will personally explain this matter, low-key." ”
Enchanting put the holy decree away and nodded, Mo Li asked about the progress of the investigation, "How did the matter that the king ordered you do?" Enchanting frowned, "It's being investigated, but the traces of this matter are really serious, and the subordinates have made a lot of effort so far without progress. ”
Mo Li nodded, "If you need manpower, you can directly pick it from the secret guard, and if you have other needs, tell this king directly." Enchanting nodded respectfully, "The subordinates understand, but when the subordinates leave, the master will be around...... Whether to put the thunder ......"
"Enchanting, this king doesn't want you to meddle in this matter, next time, you can leave." Mo Li interrupted her, her tone was a few degrees lower, and she quickly knelt down nervously, "My subordinates know their mistakes, ask the master to punish them!" ”
Mo Li glanced at her lightly, "After completing the task, go and receive the punishment yourself, call the night over for you, go down." The enchanting heart was relieved and got up to leave.
Mo Li went straight to his bedroom, and before he entered the courtyard, he heard Tao Li'er's giggling voice, and he didn't feel it, his tight brows gradually eased, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, and he raised his feet and went in.
"Xiaoxue, let me tell you, that Tong Yimeng looked old and handsome when he saved me, just like the hero written in the book, bloody but unstoppable......" Tao Li'er happily told Tao Xiaoxue about her great achievements after entering Beijing, and didn't notice Mo Li who entered the gate of the courtyard, his face was dark, Tao Xiaoxue was facing the door, naturally saw Mo Li, and immediately stood up, wanting to call Mo Li's master, but thinking that she was Tao Li'er's girl now, she could only change her words, "Lord Wang." ”
Tao Li'er was happy to say it, thinking that Tao Xiaoxue was cheating on her, and said jokingly: "Xiaoxuexue, when did you learn to deceive people at night?" I've been playing this trick in kindergarten. Tao Xiaoxue's face was frosty, and she found that Mo Li's face was a little darker, and she walked towards them, and quickly stood aside.
Tao Li'er thought she was addicted to playing, and turned back while laughing, "If you still act, I will be kind enough to cooperate with you......" Tao Li'er turned around, her voice stopped abruptly, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, Tao Li'er looked at Mo Li who was smiling in front of her, and felt a little bad in her heart, there was something wrong with this person's eyes.
"You, you're back......" Tao Li'er thought of the topic she just said, somehow she was a little weak-hearted, Mo Li gave Tao Xiaoxue a look, Tao Xiaoxue left with interest, Tao Li'er also wanted to run, but Mo Li grabbed the back collar, "What are you going?" I heard you have something to say to me. ”
After Mo Li's reminder, Tao Li'er remembered that she did have something to tell Mo Li, and now she had to bow her head under the eaves.
