Chapter 2 The Storm is Coming

Fenshui City is named after the Fenshui River that runs through the whole city, it is located in the east of Tangjing City, the capital of the Western Tang Dynasty, about 50 kilometers away from Tangjing City, and the ordinary speed between the two cities takes about two days, and if it is fast, it can be one day. Lu Qianmo's choice of his residence in this city was considered, firstly, he did not have to be too eye-catching because he was in the capital, and secondly, he could get the news in Tangjing City in time.

Twenty days ago, Lu Qianmo saw a vendor selling rabbits on the street, and it is understood that the seller had specially captured some wild rabbits on the mountain to feed and breed rabbit cubs, and specially used to sell them to the wife or lady of a wealthy family. Generally, the price given by buyers is good, but it is more cost-effective than selling rabbit meat directly.

Lu Qianmo saw two little rabbits in a bamboo cage, the rabbit's fur was light gray, but the two ears were white hair, and he thought it was very interesting. Seeing that Lu Qianmo was interested, the hawker bluntly said that the ladies and ladies of those big families like white-haired rabbits, and only these two rabbits with miscellaneous hair have not been sold, and if they can't be sold, they can only be sold to restaurants as game. Lu Qianmo felt that the coat color of the two rabbits was quite happy, and at the same time, in order to save the lives of the two weak rabbits, he bought them.

The May sun is warm, and the occasional breeze in the air makes it even more pleasant. Today, Lu Qianmo is dressed in lake-green clothes that match the weather very well, like the last touch of spring color before the sunny summer. At this time, she was holding the vegetable leaves prepared by the maidservant girl and feeding the little gray rabbit she bought that day near the rockery in the yard. After twenty days and nights, the two little gray rabbits have grown up a lot.

Lu Qianmo squatted on the grass with vegetable leaves in his hand, watching the two little rabbit teeth chew quickly, and saw Mo Mei leading a person towards him early.

"Pavilion Master." Mo Mei stopped at a distance from Lu Qianmo and called.

Lu Qianmo saw that the little gray rabbit had almost eaten, so he got up and walked towards the two.

"Pavilion Master Lu." The other person took the lead in saluting and said: "The subordinates are the ones sent by the second prince to give you a gift to the Lu Pavilion Master, I don't know if the Lu Pavilion Lord can have something to bring to the second prince, and the subordinates should go back to pay the errand." ”

Lu Qianmo had already guessed who the visitor was, "Then you can thank your master for me, just say that the gift is very beautiful." ”

"The subordinates must bring it. If the Lu Pavilion Lord has no other instructions, his subordinates will set off to the Northern Desert. ”

"Go ahead."

"The subordinates retired."

After the two left, Lu Qianmo looked at the hour, and then walked in the direction of the study.

Sure enough, when I came to the study, there were already people waiting here on time. The person who came followed Lu Qianmo's footsteps into the study, and then handed the letter in his hand to Lu Qianmo.

Lu Qianmo opened the envelope, and what the letter said was that Mo Wanchi, the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty, and the eldest princess, Qin Jian, had a dispute in the early dynasty over whether to summon the third prince, Mo Qingyan, to return to the dynasty. Mo Bangchi admonished the Western Tang Emperor to recall Mo Qingyan, who had been abroad for eight years, but Qin Jian vigorously opposed it, and the crown prince Mo Qingran and the fourth prince Mo Qingyao did not express their position at that time, and the ministers of the court and China were both in favor and against. The two sides argued, and finally the Western Tang Emperor said: "Next time, we will discuss it."

The third prince, Mo Qingyan, was sent to Nanyu when he was thirteen years old, and the holy decree said: "Send the third prince to Nanyu for training, and practice as a soldier as a general." "Nanyu is adjacent to Lanzhou in southern Xinjiang, which is the border between the Western Tang Dynasty and southern Xinjiang, and the living conditions are not the most difficult in the frontier, but they are the farthest from the Tang capital. Although the Holy Decree was sent to study and train, many people speculated that the third prince fell out of favor and was sent to the frontier, and it was difficult for him to enter the court. Mo Wanchi is lazy by nature, does not fight or rob, does not like to ask about the government, and is the only living among the many brothers of the Western Tang Emperor. At this moment, he proposed in public to summon Mo Qingyan back to the dynasty, did this mean the Western Tang Emperor? If so, what was his purpose in recalling Mo Qingyan at this moment.

After pondering for a while, Lu Qianmo picked up the pen and wrote a reply, handed it to his subordinates, and said: "Let them wait and see what happens, if necessary, you can help Mo Wanchi, but don't expose yourself because of this." ”

"Yes." Someone came and took the letter.

"Let's go down."

Lu Qianmo picked up the letter again and looked at Mo Qingyan's three words. Why does he have an inexplicable sense of familiarity every time he hears this name, and what kind of connection does he have with Pei Ke?

"Mo Yan." Thinking of this, Lu Qianmo called his secret guard.

After a while, Mo Yan appeared in front of Lu Qianmo. "Pavilion Master."

"Let people check the relationship between the third prince Mo Qingyan and the then General Pei's Mansion before he went to Nanyu, and pay special attention to whether he has any dealings with General Pei's daughter Pei Ke." Just now, I asked people to help Mo Wanchi because I wanted to deal with the eldest princess Mo Wanfei. If Mo Qingyan really has a great relationship with Pei Ke, he will decide what he wants to do.

The Three Princes? "It is said that these three princes have been in Nanyu for eight years, and Pei's Mansion was destroyed five years ago, so it may not be easy to investigate their relationship."

This Lu Qianmo knows that now people in the officialdom of the Western Tang Dynasty are reluctant to talk about Pei Mansion back then, and after so many years. "Do your best."

"Yes. The subordinates then ordered to go down. ”

"Just do it in secret." Lu Qianmo instructed.

"Hmm. Subordinates understand. ”

At this time, in the mansion of the eldest princess of Tang Jingcheng, the concubine Qin Jian hurriedly returned as soon as she left the court, and the eldest princess had already received her idle brother today and once again proposed to summon Mo Qingyan back to the court.

"What does Bang Chi mean exactly?" Without waiting for Qin Jian to drink a cup of tea, Mo Wanfei hurriedly asked. originally thought that after yesterday's dispute, the other party would mention this matter again every other day, but who knew that it was mentioned in public the next day.

Qin Jian drank most of the pot of tea with a grunt, and he rushed all the way back after going down, he had been arguing with the Red Prince for a long time just now, and his mouth was already dry.

"I guess that's what that guy meant."

Mo Wanfei guessed yesterday that this might be the meaning of his emperor's younger brother, Bang Chi has always cared about court affairs, how could he suddenly have such a proposal, and he also raised this matter for two consecutive days. "I didn't expect him to be in such a hurry."

Qin Jian naturally understood that he was referring to the emperor. "Recall Mo Qingyan at this time, is he right to the prince..."

"Hmph, I don't care what he plans. We must prevent Mo Qingyan from returning to the court. Mo Wanfei slapped the table and got up, the unfinished tea on the table rippled, and a pair of Danfeng eyes gradually became fierce, and said: "If necessary, there will be no future trouble." ”

Qin Jian looked at his wife's fierce appearance, and felt a little palpitating. But didn't he know from the beginning that his wife, the princess of the Western Tang Kingdom, was ambitious and ruthless? After so many years as a husband and wife, I haven't gotten used to her appearance.
