Chapter 57: The Son

Wen Jian listened to the strange beating of horses, and he always deliberately avoided the affairs of the court, after all, he was the head of the Wen family on the surface. In the past dynasties, agriculture and commerce were suppressed, and it was inevitable that businessmen and officials would be criticized for being too close in private, but now Wen Ye's marriage to Mo Xiaohou has set a precedent, which also makes him have to care.

"As far as I know, the Mo family has been passed down for three generations, and the little marquis is the only son of the Mohou Ye, the Mo marquis is the border where he left Beijing when he was young, and the little marquis only entered Beijing when he was a child, these two things are not in line with the etiquette law."

Qingkong nodded, glanced at Wen Ye in the carriage, and saw that her emotions had calmed down before replying.

"The grandfather of the little marquis had a son and a daughter, the eldest son Wenwu Shuangquan was originally a civil official in the court, and then abandoned Wen and became a border general, and the second daughter Zhishu Dali married the crown prince and became the current empress dowager. More than 10 years ago, the border was in turmoil and the war was tight, and the imperial court was the time to employ people, and the Mo family was full of loyal martyrs to protect the family and defend the country. The war between the two countries lasted for many years, and the old Marquis Mo could not escape the death of a stray arrow, which was also the real reason why the Marquis Mo stayed in Liangzhou later. As for the little marquis......

Wen Ye took a deep breath, she knew Mo Yan's past best, thinking about it carefully, Mo Yan was not as happy as she was when she was young.

"Mo Lang didn't want him to be separated from his parents since he was a child because of the love of his grandmother and the benevolence of his father, but fate used a more cruel way to separate him from his mother forever, which is really .......

Wen Ye couldn't say any more, the tears in her eyes fell, she suddenly thought about her father and mother, if she had been more well-behaved back then, would it make the second emperor brother less jealous, and he would not have united with Youzhou County to guard Qin Ying to murder his parents and brother.

"Master!"

Wanzhao was so distressed that her facial features were wrinkled together, she hugged her in her arms and comforted her softly, and raised her head to meet the flustered eyes of the clear sky, and she glared angrily. Clear Sky Adam's apple rolled, subconsciously swallowing saliva, he knew that he was a good thing and a bad thing this time, he could still handle it in the evening, if he let Mo Xiaohou know that he would definitely die!

On the top of the solemn hall, Mo Yan bowed down and bowed to the saint of today, this is the second time he has entered the vertical arch hall to face the saint. Mo Yan didn't take a closer look at the request for a request from Beijing that day, but he didn't expect that in the glorious palace, the display and furnishings would be so simple and unpretentious.

"Mo Shizi is here!"

Emperor Yan came from the Funing Hall in the harem with a smile, he didn't expect Mo Yan to return to Beijing so soon.

"Mo Yan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Chengyang, meet Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan quickly stepped forward to help him up, half a month ago, Mo Yan was still an unruly gentleman, and that day he took the initiative to go to Liangzhou to protect the imperial sister, and now he is taking on the national hatred and family hatred on her shoulders.

"Mo Shizi doesn't have to be polite! Can the royal sister come back with you? How's she doing?"

Emperor Yan didn't get down to business first, but asked Wen Ye about his condition with concern, and it was self-evident how the relationship between the two sisters and brothers was, and Mo Yan bowed and replied.

"Back to Your Majesty, the third princess is still on her way back to Beijing, and her body is fine, but she is inevitably tired from running around for days."

Emperor Yan Zhanyan breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then called Gonggong Wei to give Mo Yan a seat to watch tea.

"When the imperial sister returns to Beijing to rest for a while, Mo Shizi will accompany her to see the Empress Dowager more, and the imperial grandmother loves her the most."

Mo Yan was a little moved, the relationship between the royal heirs was mostly thin and alienated, but Emperor Yan's concern for Wen Ye was genuine, and his departure from Beijing was enough to show this alone.

"Mo Shizi don't be surprised, although I am the Son of Heaven, I have no foundation at all, and I have relied on the assistance of the imperial sister for more than three years, I am not only a sister and brother to her, but also a monarch and minister, and can even be said to be an ally."

Emperor Yan smiled, the smile was sincere and innocent, as if the person in front of him was not today, just a sixteen-year-old boy.

"The minister received the order, if the Empress Dowager summons her, she will definitely not refuse. I don't know that His Majesty is in a hurry to summon his ministers back, but it has something to do with Liangzhou Shizhi?"

Mo Yan bowed down and saluted to receive the order, this time Emperor Yan urgently summoned him to the palace There must be important matters to discuss, and he guessed that it should have nothing to do with Shi Zhi. Emperor Yan smiled and frowned, and the young man who had just smiled brightly immediately became old-fashioned.

"There is news from Youzhou Yanzhizhou that Qin has recently been discovered in the desert west of Youzhou

The trace of Qin Haotian, the eldest son of Win, I have sent the Imperial City Division to go, and I will return to Beijing in the next two days."

"The Desert to the West? Can the Holy One know the exact location?"

Mo Yan quickly calculated that the western edge of Youzhou bordered the Liangzhou Desert was likely to coincide with the place where the stone grease was found.

"Xiao Weizi, get the secret letter from Youzhou."

Father-in-law Wei agreed, and hurriedly took out the secret letter from the secret compartment of the cabinet, and handed it to Mo Yan with both hands. Mo Yan took the secret letter and unfolded it, took out the location of the stone resin copied to him by the clear sky from his arms, and quickly compared it.

"This place is not far from the place where the stone resin was found, and the minister will immediately send a message to inform my father to send troops to investigate in detail."

Emperor Yan rubbed his eyebrows, Youzhou privately cast weapons, Liangzhou hoarded stone fat, Qin Ying's recent frequent actions do not seem to be a coincidence.

"How did Marquis Mo deal with the matter of stone grease?"

Mo Yan bowed down to report and explained the handling of Liangzhou in detail.

"Back to Your Majesty, the governor of Liangzhou led troops to strictly check the caravans, and found no suspicious people, but it was not all fruitless, at least it proved that those stone greases would not enter Liangzhou. In addition, the border army is not moving, and my father has sent spies to investigate, and I believe that something will be discovered."

Emperor Yan nodded, happy for Mo Yan's hands-on intentions, he was very relieved to have him by the imperial sister's side, and it seemed that he didn't have to worry too much about her safety in the future.

"Your Majesty, Jing Pingguo's spies are here for the third princess this time, and I'm afraid her identity has already been discovered."

"It's a matter of time, and there's nothing to be afraid of, since the imperial sister is married to you, she can't escape the whirlpool of this court left and right."

Mo Yan's worries Emperor Yan knew very well that he had not thought that there would be such a day in the past three years, and the worst result of really going that far was nothing more than the resentment of the officials and the people. When the time comes, let the imperial sister fake her death again, change her identity and go to Cangzhou to live in seclusion, as for Mo Yan, he will follow his heart.

"Regarding the matter of Shi Zhi and Qin Ying, the minister does not want to tell the third princess for the time being, and Your Majesty also knows that this is a scar in her heart, if it is torn prematurely, I am afraid that it will be difficult to heal, and I beg Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the minister for investigation."

Emperor Yan agrees with him, but today's third princess is not so easy to deceive, Mo Shizi is a royal relative, she is the third lady of the Wen family, the richest man in the capital, and the two of them are very jealous and hated by people due to their special status, but no one suffers.

"Now that you are married, even if the imperial sister doesn't know about it, she won't let her go!"

Emperor Yan has no confidence that he will hide this matter normally, and now he can only take one step at a time, and it would not be impossible if Mo Yan alone could control the overall situation.

"The minister will take care of everything and never let her be hurt in the slightest."

Mo Yan's eyes have never been firm, Emperor Yan was deeply mobilized by him, if the court has such a thoughtful, resolute and firm capable minister to help, there will definitely be something to do in the future.

"Is Mo Shizi willing to enter the court as an official?"

Mo Yan looked at Emperor Yan in astonishment, only to see him with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely sincere.

"Minister......

"Not reluctantly! The people of the Imperial City Division will privately find Qingkong and say in detail, if Mo Shizi's mind changes, he will enter the palace to find me at any time. It's strange to say, whether it is the only son of Cheng Yushi or the young master of the Xiang family of the martial arts family, they are all good friends with the prince, and the husband chosen by the imperial sister is really both capable and moral, haha!"

After Emperor Yan finished speaking, he laughed heartily, took a sip of ginseng tea and looked at the tie on the bookcase, Mo Yan saw this and hurriedly bowed and retired.

"The minister retired."

After a pillar of incense, the eldest princess Chu Tianjiao pulled a little face into the vertical arch hall, and Gonggong Wei hurriedly walked a few steps to help her report.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."

Emperor Yan closed his eyes, this grinding essence was actually sent out, and the days in the palace did not stop, counting the next day, she was locked up in the princess's mansion by the empress dowager for almost a month, and it was time to release it.

"Brother Huang, I heard from the palace people that the prince of Chengyang Hou entered the palace, is this leaving?"

Chu Tianjiao saw that there was no one else in the hall, her mouth was pursed, and there was a slight sense of loss and regret in her tone.

"Mo Shizi has been out of the palace for a long time, and he will enter the palace with Mrs. Mo in a few days."

Emperor Yan was relieved to see that she was in good spirits, and his words were a lot more relaxed, he wanted Chu Tianjiao and Wen Ye to be friendly, after all, the three of them had the blood of the first emperor flowing in their bodies.

"Humph!"

Chu Tianjiao smiled coldly, since they were just the time to be proud, she had to do something, otherwise she was really unwilling.

"Good imperial brother, he didn't punish him last time he humiliated the imperial brother of this palace, and that merchant girl Wen Ye!"

Emperor Yan saw that she was uncertain, and he also made sarcastic remarks about Wen Ye's business girl background, which was really unbearable.

"Don't be rude, she is now the princess of Chengyang Hou, and she still wants me to ban your feet?"

"What's so good about her, you all protect her!"

Chu Tianjiao was angry when she remembered the events of that day, she went to the queen mother to cry but was beaten down, and the queen mother even grounded her alone in the princess's mansion, and she couldn't even see the queen mother for a month, she definitely couldn't swallow this bad breath.

"I'm protecting you, too!"

Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows, and seeing that she was still preparing to break the fortune and avoid disasters, he instructed Gonggong Wei to let the dining room bring the eldest princess's favorite sweetheart, and make a cup of rose tea.

"It's still the royal brother who loves me, but that's not enough."

Chu Tianjiao ate the pastries and drank the flower tea, her mood was much better, and she no longer quarreled endlessly. Emperor Yan saw that she was eating seriously, and suddenly remembered that she was starving in the palace when she was a child. In the past three years, it has been common for him to be on time every morning and every night, but every time he sees Chu Tianjiao eating, he has an extremely unreal feeling.

"Brother Huang, you can also taste it."

Chu Tianjiao smiled and handed over a piece of milk cake, and Emperor Yan took a bite of it in his mouth.

"Go back and make a list, and I will send someone to the princess's mansion."

Emperor Yan was chewing on the milk cake, talking and adding a doting smile.

"Brother Xie Huang!"

Chu Tianjiao was so happy that she was about to fly, she was about to go crazy this month, and now that she had received so many rewards, she felt that it was worth it for her to stay up for so long. Emperor Yan raised his head and stroked her hair, and said earnestly and persuasively.

"Tianjiao, the Mo family is not something you can offend, and besides, she is not your enemy."

"Hmm."

Chu Tianjiao vaguely agreed, her nails sinking deep into her palms, and her heart was already half cold. It turns out that the previous rewards were all to please her, so that she would be obedient when she received something, which was absolutely impossible!
