Chapter 138: Falling into the Well
The knobby fingers shimmered a little bit of luster in the dim light, but they looked like Han Xue, which made people's hearts chill.
Maybe everything has already been said to this point, and Qi Moxiao also vaguely guessed the changes in the court, so this official gritted his teeth and simply told Qi Moxiao everything he knew.
Sure enough, not long after the words fell, the next second the official raised his head and stared at Qi Moxiao deeply, although there was still some fear on his face, he still trembled and said: "So the emperor is going to find someone to replace your place......"
Because of this, seeing that Qi Moxiao is about to be unlucky, who of these officials dares to get close to Qi Moxiao?
If it weren't for Qi Moxiao, there would still be some power in his hands now, which made these officials jealous, and no one dared to step forward, if he kicked it, I was afraid that Qi Moxiao would have been killed by many people by now!
"The emperor wants to find someone to replace the king?"
As if he had heard some joke, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qi Moxiao's lips in an instant.
But I didn't continue to embarrass this official, and seeing his trembling appearance at the end, I am afraid that if I continue to ask questions, I will not be able to ask for any useful information from his mouth.
With a faint glance, although Cheng Ning Qi Moxiao didn't say anything, that look had already made Cheng Ning understand that it was useless for this official to continue to stay.
So at the moment when Qi Moxiao let go of it, Cheng Ning kicked the official out: "Okay, get out, there's nothing going on here!" ”
The matter within this ice step was originally to be handled by Qi Moxiao and these officials through negotiation.
It's just that now that he already knows the emperor's plan, and he is also ready to find someone to replace Qi Moxiao's position, Qi Moxiao has no reason to continue to waste time here with these officials as he instructs.
Moreover, if Qi Moxiao's power had not been gradually emptied by the emperor, then Qi Moxiao should be dealing with some national affairs now, rather than these trivial matters.
Cheng Ning couldn't help frowning, and when the room was empty and quiet, he turned his head and asked Qi Moxiao, "Lord Wang, what should we do next?" ”
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is going to make a move against Qi Moxiao, and the emperor's recent actions have become more and more unscrupulous, obviously nothing can suppress him.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Qi Moxiao did not hand over all the forces under the oppression of the emperor before.
And the current Qi Moxiao is not completely an empty shell.
Qi Moxiao's hand held the handle on the chair, and looked at Cheng Ning with a sneer: "Since the emperor wants to empty my rights, then the king will look for it first, who does he want to take over the king's position!" ”
The situation in the court is now obvious.
The previous crown prince was expected to ascend the throne, but he died suddenly halfway through.
Without the threat of the crown prince, the next throne will be chosen from the emperor's other sons.
But in addition to Qi Ziyu's more scheming means, only Qi Moxiao's voice is the highest, if Qi Moxiao's position and power are really replaced, then the most likely person is actually Qi Ziyu!
And Cheng Ning also knew that according to the clues that Qi Moxiao had found before, in fact, the matter of Shenyue Valley was completely planned by Qi Ziyu in secret.
It's just that because they have no evidence now, and Qi Ziyu is too cunning, no matter what clues they find, Qi Ziyu can take the lead in completely erasing those clues, leaving no trace!
If it weren't for Qi Ziyu being too cautious, I was afraid that Qi Moxiao would have kicked him out of the court by now, and he would have no possibility of competing for the throne!
The more Cheng Ning thought about this matter, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and look at Qi Moxiao, and his tone was indignant: "Lord Wang, my subordinates will go to the emperor to explain it!" Obviously, the reason why the emperor was able to control the government so smoothly was inseparable from your help, but now he kicks you away like a broken stone, which is too much! ”
Cheng Ning was the first person to follow Qi Moxiao's side, and he has always been loyal to Qi Moxiao, and watching Qi Moxiao develop step by step to what he is today over the years, he naturally knows how much Qi Moxiao has suffered in it.
At the beginning, there were a lot of complaints against the emperor among the people, and it was the emperor who poured dirty water on Qi Moxiao to divert the resentment of these people against him, so he could fall into the title of a benevolent and virtuous king.
But now he is the king of benevolence, but for the power in his hands and his own strength, he wants to kick Qi Moxiao away.
What is clear is that you want to get rid of it when you run out of use.
Such a shameless person, why did he treat their prince like this?!
Cheng Ning's anger was all written on his face at this moment, obviously he was still a calm and wise person before this.
No one knows better than Cheng Ning what kind of scene he will face if he loses power in this court and is hollowed out into an empty shell......
Just thinking about the ministers that Qi Moxiao had offended before, they might climb up to Qi Moxiao like bloodthirsty ants and suck Qi Moxiao's flesh and blood dry, Cheng Ning felt his scalp tingle, and a chill in his heart.
I couldn't help but clench my fingers a little, I must not let such a scene happen!
This thought had just become firm in his heart, and he saw Qi Moxiao, who was still sitting on the chair thoughtfully just now, slowly got up, tidied up his robe unhurriedly, and then slowly raised his feet and walked outside, his posture still looked as elegant as when he came.
"Alright, let's go back."
A faint sentence floated out of Qi Moxiao's mouth, as if he didn't care about what happened just now.
This calm and calm attitude seems to be completely different from what he just said.
Cheng Ning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and froze in place for a long time before hurriedly following.
"Lord Wang, aren't we going to settle accounts with the emperor?"
In fact, judging from the current strength of their master, the emperor can't easily move him.
If the emperor could kick Qi Moxiao out of the court so easily, he would not have stopped Qi Moxiao from going to court recently, and he also tried to empty Qi Moxiao's rights, and sent a Luo Qiaoyan to the palace to monitor Qi Moxiao.
Speaking of Na Luo Qiaoyan, Cheng Ning couldn't help but think of the fact that she wronged Green Star this morning.
Suddenly, Cheng Ning's eyes became even colder.
But seeing Qi Moxiao, he shook his head indifferently, and he didn't know whether to refuse or really didn't care.
I saw that she glanced at the direction of the palace with some curiosity, walked towards the carriage, sat in the carriage, and said to Cheng Ning with a smile: "Compared with the things above the court, this king is now more curious about what the princess is doing in the palace?" ”
Curious about what the princess does?
This brain circuit is obviously something Cheng Ning didn't expect.
Although he knew that Qi Moxiao had always done things in a disciplined manner, and he had his own way of doing things, this time Wu Hao really couldn't figure out what Qi Moxiao meant.
Obviously, there are maggots attached to the bones all around, and they want to gnaw Qi Moxiao into a skeleton shelf, facing such a dangerous situation, Qi Moxiao did not respond at all, but returned to the palace to be a turtle with a shrunken head at this time?
"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and drive yet. ”
At this moment, a magnetic and muffled voice floated from the car, and it sounded like the tone had not changed.
Cheng Ning bit his lip, but in the end he didn't say anything, got into the carriage in silence, and began to drive towards the palace.
Forget it, anyway, he just needs to obey the words of the prince.
In addition, Qi Moxiao's code of conduct for so many years has his own reasons, and he has never made a mistake.
After calming down from the anger at the beginning, Cheng Ning gradually understood that it was impossible to move the emperor now.
Unless Qi Moxiao has another way......
In addition, Cheng Ning was also worried that his rash move would have an adverse impact on Qi Moxiao.
The snow outside seemed to be a little heavier, and when he drove the carriage out of the military department, the carriages that had stopped at the entrance of the military department had long since disappeared, thinking that those ministers were frightened by Qi Moxiao and Cheng Ning just now, and they scattered one by one, for fear that if they continued to stay here, they would be scolded by Qi Moxiao, and then they would get into trouble.
After all, Qi Moxiao is now in the court, and everyone is disgusted, if anyone who has a good relationship with Qi Moxiao reaches the emperor's ears, I am afraid that they will face their recent situation, and just like Qi Moxiao, they will be suppressed by the emperor.
Moreover, the emperor seems to be particularly fond of Qi Ziyu recently, and he is promoted very quickly.
I don't know what Qi Moxiao thinks in his heart, anyway, Cheng Ning regrets it very much now.
When they found out that there was Qi Ziyu's shadow in something related to Shenyue Valley, they should have taken action quickly and controlled Qi Ziyu.
Now if they want to continue to do something to Qi Ziyu, it is not so easy.
The road leading to the palace was covered in snow, because there had been a heavy snowfall in the capital recently, so there was cold air everywhere, and even the breath in the lungs made people feel cold.
There was a stove in the carriage of the carriage, but the breath of the stove didn't seem to warm Qi Moxiao's heart.
As the furnace burned more vigorously, when Qi Moxiao's dark eyes looked in the direction of the palace, the coldness became deeper.
The hand that was originally carelessly placed in the sleeve couldn't help but clench at the moment.
Is it really willing?
Everything he has dedicated to the court for so many years, and the things he has done with the emperor for so many years, can't be exchanged for the emperor's trust in him.
I didn't expect to win every step of the way, but in the end I was faced with an embattled situation.
All kinds of unconsciousness in the past, Qi Moxiao slowly emerged from Qi Moxiao's mind, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
But I don't know if such a smile is mocking the emperor or laughing at himself.
At the same time, in the peony garden.
When they played cards with Concubine Li and them before, because Concubine Li and the three of them used cheating methods, they won more and more silver on Yun Zhuyue's body.
