Chapter 211: Rare Treasures
In the court, as soon as the emperor sat down, he saw one courtier after another standing up to impeach Mo Yuan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have ordered Yuan'er to be grounded for three months, copying scriptures day and night." The emperor was troubled by their quarrel and waved his hand helplessly.
This punishment is also punished, and the grounding is also banned, and you can't really kill this only grandson.
"Huh." Mo Nanqi was about to refute, but suddenly thought that he had hidden a fake jade seal, and the emperor did not blame him, if this matter was big, he would not be able to get any benefits, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and acquiesced in the matter.
Mo Nanchen stood aside and watched coldly, he didn't say anything, this world is now his father's, he insists on being partial, what's the use of others saying more?
As for the other princes and courtiers, they didn't dare to come out again, and they all lowered their heads for fear of provoking fire, and the entire court instantly quieted down.
"I know that you Aiqing is for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, Yuan'er has been grounded recently, and I will take back the military power in his hands first, and there is no need to discuss this matter again." The emperor looked at the crowd and retreated.
This part of the military power was originally the prince's, and after the prince's death, it was naturally handed over to Mo Yuan, and the emperor took it back, and Mo Yuan no longer had any real power in his hands, so he must not be rampant.
The courtiers were satisfied, and kept chanting the emperor's sage.
Mo Nanchen glanced up at the emperor, and was a little puzzled in his heart, did his father really want to take away Mo Yuan's power, or did he find an excuse to fool everyone?
If it is the former, then the father is still sensible.
This matter soon reached Mo Yuan's mouth, and he was so angry that he was furious in the study: "Without military power, what is the difference between this and breaking my left and right arms?" ”
I'm just pretending to be obedient for the time being, and I don't really plan to be a waste!
"Your Highness, when you went to court today, many courtiers impeached you, and the emperor did this to be able to protect you." The staff on the side reminded in a whisper.
In his opinion, it may be a good thing for His Highness to be deprived of his military rights, it is better than an impeachment, or even rumors.
Mo Yuan sneered, picked up the scripture on the table, and tore it directly to pieces.
"In your opinion, what should I do now? Is it possible to bow down to please those courtiers? ”
"His Royal Highness has a noble status, so naturally he doesn't have to curry favor with the courtiers." Seeing that he was angry, his tone became more and more frightened: "What His Royal Highness really wants to please is the emperor, whether the military power is completely deprived or temporarily handed over to the emperor for safekeeping, it all depends on the emperor's thoughts." ”
If you can please the emperor, after a while, when everyone forgets about this matter, and the emperor rewards His Royal Highness with military power, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Under the persuasion of his staff, Mo Yuan turned his anger into joy: "What you said also makes sense, but what do I use to please the emperor?" By the way, several concubines have died in the harem recently, so why don't I search for a few beauties and send them to him! ”
When the time comes, the beauty will blow more in front of the emperor, and he will only like his grandson more and more.
"Your Royal Highness, my subordinates once heard one thing, when the emperor drove his own expedition, there was a woman by his side, this woman died young, if you can find a similar one, why worry about the emperor not like it?" The staff continued to come up with ideas.
"That's right! There is a portrait of the woman hidden in the prince's mansion, you look for it according to the portrait, even if you can't find exactly the same, at least eighty percent similar, and then teach according to the emperor's preferences, and then you will be able to please the emperor. ”
The more Mo Yuan thought about it, the happier he became, let alone the military power at that time, maybe he would directly set himself up as the prince.
He wanted to rack his brains to please the emperor, and Mo Nanchen also took this into account, and when he went to bed at night, he had a little worry on his face: "I'm afraid that the emperor will be coaxed by him to laugh, and he will temporarily relax his vigilance, and there will be other chaos later." ”
An Ruqing thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a good idea.
If this sycophant is slapped loud and bright, the emperor will definitely be happy, but what if the fart is slapped on the horse's leg?
When the time comes, I am afraid that the emperor will not only not be able to laugh, but will have to punish Mo Yuan severely.
"Have you ever heard of a bird in this world that is good at learning to speak, and if you teach it patiently, it will know what to say with just one gesture?" An Ruqing opened her mouth with a smile.
Mo Nanchen shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, is there really such a bird in the world?" ”
Birds that can speak are not ordinary birds, but spirits, and it is better to stay away from this kind of thing.
"Of course there is, it's called Starling, I'll take Xiaoying to a nearby farm tomorrow to have a look, as long as you are willing to pay a high price, it should be able to attract farmers to catch it."
Since Mo Yuan planned to find a gift to please the emperor, then I would help him find it.
Mo Nanchen was still puzzled, but she didn't continue to ask, Qing'er was very smart, she must have already had an idea in her heart, and she didn't have to say anything.
The next day, An Ruqing dressed herself as a little maid and took Xiaoying to a village near the capital.
"Miss, why do we go to such a place?" Xiao Ying lifted the curtain and looked around, very puzzled.
An Ruqing smiled slightly: "Naturally, I am looking for rare treasures that can be dedicated to the emperor." ”
For example, the starling who can learn to speak can only be found in the deep mountains and old forests.
"I see, Miss must be looking for precious medicinal herbs!" Xiao Ying immediately had her own guess, the emperor was not in good health, and the young lady sent some ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum or something, which could be regarded as a matter of favor.
"You'll know later, I'm now showing myself as a little girl, you can call me Steward Liu, don't call me wrong." An Ruqing smiled slightly and specially advised.
Xiao Ying nodded and made a note of the title.
After arriving in the village, An Ruqing took the lead in finding the village chief and gave him a tael of silver.
"What do you mean, two nobles?" The village chief took the silver, happy and frightened, as the saying goes, the mouth of the eater is short, the hand of the man is short, it is impossible to drop a silver or two in the sky for no reason, and it just fell into his own hands, the two of them must have a plan.
If you can do it yourself, then it's okay to say, if you can't do it yourself, then it will be bad.
"My lord wants to find something, and if he can find it, he will give him a thousand taels of silver." An Ruqing deliberately spoke with her throat in her voice, and halfway through speaking, she directly took out a silver ticket and shook it in front of the village chief.
That's a thousand taels of silver!
The village chief's eyes immediately straightened, and hundreds of people up and down their village couldn't make up a thousand taels of silver.
"This kind of thing is very rare, I want you to gather all the villagers together, everyone looks for it together, there is a lot of strength in numbers." An Ruqing took the opportunity to put forward her own request.
At this time, the village chief had already been stunned by a thousand taels of silver, and without saying a word, he directly called all the villagers to his home. Treasure hunting!
