Chapter 104: Mo Chen's True Background
Mo Chen had already thought of a countermeasure when he learned the news: "The confiscation that should be confiscated, the public disclosed, the prestige of the Pufo Temple and the Buddha among the people is too high."
Tang Yingying understood Mo Chen's intention as soon as she heard it, and nodded approvingly: "It is true that the Pufo Temple and the Buddha have to lose the hearts of the people first, so that they can proceed to the next step, otherwise once the Pufo Temple or the Buddha use the people, it will cause great trouble."
It is rare for Mo Chen to talk to Tang Yingying so calmly, although he is talking about things, he is also very satisfied, at least not like before, Tang Yingying just sees him, does not pay attention to him, and does not even give him a look.
He discussed in detail with Tang Yingying how to make the Pufo Temple and the Buddha lose the hearts of the people step by step, and how to find out about the Pufo Temple.
The two discussed for more than an hour, and Xin Xing, who was bored halfway, ran to play, not participating in this boring topic at all.
When the conversation was almost over, Tang Yingying dropped a sentence that there was news to trouble the regent to tell me, and she was about to go back to the house to read the account book, but was stopped by Mo Chen.
"I have a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and a few unique books, do you want to take a look?"
Tang Yingying said with a cold face: "The regent has time to spend time here with me, so it is better to coax your Wu Zhi, I heard that Wu Zhi's illness is not light, after all, he has received twenty lashes."
For the sake of Wu Zhi's reputation, Mo Chen is really ruthless.
Mo Chen really didn't know how to solve this misunderstanding, no matter what he said, Tang Yingying didn't believe it, and he was determined that the person he liked was Wu Zhi, and everything he did was for her.
After thinking about it, he decided to apportion his life experience, and when Tang Yingying learned his true life experience, he would understand why he was good to the Wu family and Wu Zhi.
"Do you remember that I told you that Princess Ann was not my mother's business?"
Tang Yingying didn't know why he suddenly said this, and nodded: "There are rumors that you were born in the outer chamber of King An, and died of dystocia in that outer chamber, so King An gave you to Princess An to raise."
Mo Chen shook his head and said that this was not the case, and there was disdain and disgust in his words: "A mere King An is not my father."
Tang Yingying was taken aback, looked him up and down, and then realized that Mo Chen and King An had no similarities: "Then ...... you?"
Since Mo Chen is not the son of King An and his wife, why did King An and his wife raise Mo Chen, and who are his biological parents?
Mo Chen walked up to her, looked straight at her, and said slowly, "I am Your Majesty's son."
This bomb blew up Tang Yingying, and it also made her understand a lot of things, no wonder His Majesty was so good to Mo Chen, and he had to pass on the throne to him, it turned out that Mo Chen was His Majesty's son!
"Then why did you become the eldest son of King An?" It doesn't make sense.
Mo Chen's eyes showed a cold light, his eyes were a little painful, and his tone was distant: "Do you still have an impression of the palace turmoil back then?"
Tang Yingying shook her head: "There was such a big disturbance in the palace back then, and so many people died, I don't think I will forget this incident no matter whether I experienced it or not."
"You have something to do with that palace riot?"
The palace rebellion occurred not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, when His Majesty's position was unstable, and King Rui and other princes intended to take the opportunity to usurp the throne and launched a palace change.
It is said that at that time, there was a river of blood, corpses everywhere, the entire western capital was stained red with blood, and there were countless deaths and injuries in the palace.
In the end, if it weren't for His Majesty's strategy and ability, and the more courtiers and generals who supported him, I am afraid that he would not be able to win.
That is, after this palace turmoil, all the princes except King An were either wiped out or exiled to the bitter cold land, and they were not allowed to return to the Western Capital for life.
Mo Chen said that he was not related to the palace turmoil, but his mother was related to the palace turmoil: "At that time, my mother was pregnant with me...... First of all, I have to talk about the origin of my mother's concubine, she is the concubine of the Wu family, and she is also the sister of Wu Shen's mother."
Tang Yingying was stunned, and her beautiful eyes widened: "You...... The Wu family is your foreign family!?"
Mo Chen: "Hmm."
Tang Yingying's mind was a little messy, and she was quite calm: "You
Tell me exactly what's going on."
So, is she thinking about it?
But something is still wrong, Mo Chen is so good to Wu Zhi that she wants her to kneel and apologize to Wu Zhi, which is not at all like a cousin's care for her cousin.
Mo Chen said the whole thing in detail.
When the palace turmoil occurred that year, Mo Chen's mother Concubine Chen happened to be about to give birth, and in order to avoid her from having an accident, Dezong sent her to King An's Mansion to live temporarily, thinking that he would take her back after the palace chaos was over.
Who knows, Concubine Chen had an early attack after learning that there was a mess in the palace and that His Majesty might be missing, and King An took a fancy to Concubine Chen's beauty and intended to scare her, which led to Concubine Chen's dystocia, and finally she gave birth to a boy and died.
Originally, Dezong wanted to take Mochen back to the palace to raise, but at that time, the palace chaos had not ended, the palace was messy, and accidents could happen at any time, so he had no choice but to hand Mochen over to King An to raise, which is why Mochen is the eldest son of King An.
"King An indirectly killed my mother and concubine, and was almost killed by His Majesty, if it wasn't for the mess at the time, and the remnants were not cleaned up, Your Majesty couldn't take care of me, King An would have been killed a long time ago."
After listening to this, Tang Yingying already understood why King An's attitude towards Mo Chen was so bad: "King An is really stupid, if it were me, I would only be good to you, in exchange for greater benefits, and I would not be held accountable for what happened back then."
She has heard of Concubine Chen, it is said that she is a woman who has captivated the country and the city, and it was love at first sight for His Majesty, who was still the prince, and has been favored since then, but it is a pity that the beauty has a thin life.
Mo Chen's dark and dark eyes were full of light: "He is a thing that is completely controlled by the lower half of his body, even my mother wanted to defile it back then, what kind of brain can he have."
Tang Yingying was extremely disgusted, so disgusted that she wanted to vomit: "Princess An is also calculating you because of this?"
Mo Chen said that Princess An didn't know that he was not King An's son: "This matter is very important, and it involves King An's intention to defile His Majesty's favorite concubine, where does King An dare to tell Princess An that Princess An will want to kill me even more."
Since he was a child, Princess An treated him as a child born in the outer room, and she beat and tortured him a lot, and even poisoned him since he was a child.
Fortunately, His Majesty noticed it when he was more than a year old, otherwise it is difficult to say whether he would be able to grow up safely.
Tang Yingying was a little distressed when she heard this, but she pretended to be pale and pale: "Princess An, that person is jealous and cautious, and she can't tolerate King An being good to the woman next to her, so she can't get used to you."
"You have been very bitter all these years, and it is not so easy for Your Majesty to recognize you."
Mo Chen didn't care about this: "I never cared if I could be recognized, if it weren't for His Majesty and the dynasty, I wouldn't have done anything for a long time."
Tang Yingying blessed her soul: "You are a female minister, deliberately working against Your Majesty, in order to better fish?"
Mo Chen's thin lips curled slightly, and he praised her: "If I assist Your Majesty, some big fish will not surface, and the more I fight against Your Majesty, those big fish will have a chance to appear."
"The situation in the DPRK is not as it appears on the surface, and now there is another Pufo Temple, and the situation is even more complicated."
Tang Yingying pursed her lower lip and looked at him fixedly: "You are so good to the Wu family and Wu Zhi because of Concubine Chen?"
Mo Chen repeatedly said that this is the case: "I didn't investigate the Wu family and Wu Zhi in detail before, I don't know what the Wu family and Wu Zhi did in secret, and I always thought that Wu Zhi was a straightforward and fast-talking character......
"My heart is almost straightforward, and I want me, the princess regent, to kneel and apologize to her, and you still don't say a word." Tang Yingying interrupted him with a sneer.
Mo Chen took her hand and patiently explained, "Back then, my mother died of hemorrhage in order to give birth to me, so I always wanted to protect the Wu family, and I didn't want my mother to be restless under Jiuquan."
Tang Yingying didn't believe it, and her eyes were suspicious: "Mo Chen, what you show is completely different from what you said, but this is not surprising, I am a dispensable person in your Mo Chen's heart, where is it more important than the Wu family and Wu Zhi."
Mo Chen sighed, "That's really not the case...... At that time, I was thinking about protecting Wu Zhi and ignoring you, if you really don't matter to me, how can I tell you this secret?"
"Except for a few important people, no one else knows about this matter, not even the Wu family knows that I am still alive, they have always thought that my mother is a corpse with two lives."
Tang Yingying shook off his hand and looked calm: "If I don't do this once, but every time you think about it, you want to protect Wu Zhi, let her humiliate me, and even ask me to kneel and apologize to her, this is not simply to protect my family."
"Mo Chen, maybe you didn't notice it yourself, you like Wu Zhi." She said this sentence with difficulty, and her heart ached: "If you like someone, you will do everything you can to protect her."
Mo Chen's expression froze, and he was a little puzzled: "I...... Like Wu Zhi?"
Tang Yingying saw that he didn't refute, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, she exhaled: "Yes! I really like someone, so I want to protect her and not let anyone hurt her."
"You are like this to Wu Zhi, every time Wu Zhi has something, whether it is right or wrong, the first thing you think of is to protect her and not let anyone hurt her.
You see, in order to protect her, you even forced me to kneel down to Wu Zhi and admit my mistakes, obviously it was not me who was wrong, but you pushed all the faults on me."
Mo Chen frowned: "That's not the case, I was just thinking about ...... at that time."
"I want to protect Wu Zhi, so I can even trample on my dignity, right?" Tang Yingying smiled bitterly, "That's what you did at that time."
Mo Chen was speechless, yes, he did this at that time, in order to protect Wu Zhi and her reputation, he didn't care what happened to Tang Yingying, and asked her to apologize to Wu Zhi.
Obviously, it was Wu Zhi who was wrong, not Tang Yingying.
The corners of Tang Yingying's eyes were sour, and a layer of loss and unwillingness floated in her heart: "Regent, I still say the same thing, let me go free, and also give Wu Zhi a name, which is good for everyone."
