"Shall we explain?" I don't know who said such a sentence, which caused everyone's silence, do you want to explain?

The sound of the board and the fainting sound of begging for mercy in the ears constantly stimulated everyone's eardrums and hearts, and the smell of blood lingered between the noses, and those who were close could see more and more blood.

"Why don't we be honest? It's better to be honest than dead. Look at these few, I really don't want to end up like this."

"I, I want to be honest, it's better to take a punishment, or lose your inheritance than lose your life."

These words resonated with the vast majority of people.

"yes, it's better to be honest than to lose your life. The regent's methods, none of us know, you see that he killed several people on the spot."

"The question is, can we survive after explaining it? Who would dare to say that they haven't done a few bad things."

The people present hesitated again, and for a while no one spoke again.

The atmosphere was oppressive, dreary and terrifying.

Mo Chen, the "initiator", didn't care about this, and after dealing with this matter, he accompanied Dezong to fish.

Dejong fell in love with fishing, and basically fished every day, whether he could catch a fish or not, mainly because fishing was a good activity.

"Where did I have time to fish in the past?" He sighed: "At that time, I was very busy, not to mention the affairs of the harem in the past, and there were all kinds of calculations, but it is better now, it is leisurely and comfortable."

Mo Chen didn't fish, he sat aside and accompanied Dezong: "As long as my father likes it."

Dezong smiled, "Your temperament is also much better. Maybe you have someone you like, you are no longer as cold as before, and your breath has softened a lot."

Mo Chen hummed, "Maybe that's the case. Yingying is very good, she brings me a lot of joy."

"Then you have to cherish your daughter-in-law and stop doing foolish things."

"Father, don't worry, I won't do foolish things again."

Father and son chatted about fishing.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Zhuzi bent over, saluted, and lowered his voice: "The news I just got didn't find the fake succession book from Mo Lanruo, and the fake succession book seems to be missing."

Dezong's face sank: "Searched everywhere?"

Xiao Zhuzi nodded: "I've searched all the places that can be searched, but I still haven't found this fake succession book." The minions wondered if someone had taken this fake succession book one step ahead of time, such as Hopeless Lianyin and others."

"The temptation of a fake succession is very high, and it can be very helpful sometimes."

Dezong was very calm: "This fake succession book is mostly in the hands of Lianyin. If it is in the hands of hopelessness, hopelessness will be used before leaving."

"With this fake succession book, Lianyin can justify her ascension to the throne. The question is, how did he get this fake edict of succession? With Mo Lanruo's temperament, he will definitely hide this fake edict of succession."

Mo Chen came to say, "It should be the people around Mo Lanruo who betrayed her, so she was taken by Lianyin."

"According to Mo Lanruo's original plan, it was to rebel after killing your father and the emperor, and then take out this fake edict of succession, so that she can inherit the throne logically."

Dezong ordered Xiao Zhuzi to track down Lianyin's whereabouts as soon as possible and retrieve the fake edict: "This thing is too dangerous in Lianyin's hands."

Xiao Zhuzi answered "yes" and stepped back to do this.

Mo Chen said with relief: "Father, don't worry too much, you don't need us to look for Lianyin, Lianyin will also take the initiative to pop out. Besides, his purpose is the throne, and sooner or later he will use this fake succession to the throne."

Dezong also understands this: "The best opportunity is to take out a fake succession letter when the crown prince is elected or when the crown prince ascends the throne, provided that you try to trap me and you."

Mo Chen said meaningfully, "That's not good, just to see what the attitude of those courtiers is."

Dezong was right when he thought about it, so he was not so worried: "You can handle this matter well. I think it's better for you to ascend the throne as emperor."

The corners of Mo Chen's mouth twitched, quite helpless, it turned out that his father had not given up his plan to let him inherit the throne.

The first thing Mo Chen did when he returned to the Regent's Mansion was to see Tang Yingying.

Seeing him coming back, Tang Yingying asked with a smile, "How is the situation in the palace?"

Mo Chen told her in detail about what happened in the palace one by one, focusing on the disappearance of the fake edict of succession: "It can be seen that Lianyin has a plan for a long time, but the strange thing is, where did he learn about the fake edict of succession?"

"Xu is Mo Lanruo's own words." Tang Yingying guessed, "Can someone like Mo Lanruo not say this? It seemed to her that these people were all her slaves, and she would be fine with her own slaves if she said this."

Mo Chen felt that this was the most likely: "Lianyin will make some moves recently."

Tang Yingying's eyes showed a cold light: "It's strange that he hasn't moved recently, the peace envoy of the Liang State is about to arrive, and he will definitely seize this opportunity."

"Mo Chen, you say, how about we plan it?"

Mo Chen sat in the chair and looked at her sideways, "How does the daughter-in-law want to do it?"

Tang Yingying stretched out a finger and smiled slightly coldly: "Liang Guo is uneasy and kind, Lianyin is uneasy and kind, how about we put these two parties together?"

Mo Chen pondered: "This is a good idea, but there is a lot to pay attention to and prepare."

How could Tang Yingying not know this: "We only need to pay attention to the peace envoys of the Liang State. As for the side, just reveal a little bit of information about Lianyin to the envoys of the Liang State peace talks."

"If Liang didn't calculate, he wouldn't have done anything, on the contrary, Liang's peace envoys would definitely seize this opportunity."

Mo Chen nodded slowly: "Okay, let's try it."

Tang Yingying snorted, "Didn't the other two countries send people?"

Mo Chen shook his head and said no, "I guess I'm waiting for the situation on Liang Guo's side. If it were me, I would have watched the tiger fight from the other side. When two great powers fight, they will benefit."

"Then we'll have to be on guard. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if."

"I've already sent a message to the border gates. If the other two countries make any changes, they will go to war."

Tang Yingying gave a thumbs up: "It's still the prince's power!" With this deterrent, the other two countries will not dare to take action without being fully prepared."

Mo Chen thought like this, and he changed the subject: "How about my daughter-in-law seeing those princesses today?"

Tang Yingying said simply: "I have made it very clear to them that they will all have to stay in the Western Capital in the future, and no one will want to return to the fiefdom."

The purpose of her and Mo Chen was to prevent anything from happening to the new emperor after he ascended the throne. Moreover, these feudal kings have been in the fiefdom for many years, and some of them have done a lot of things.

Mo Chen said, "There will be no more vassal kings in the future."

How could Tang Yingying not understand what he meant, now the vassal king seems to have no real power, but in fact, the vassal king in the fief has great power, which is a big hidden danger.

In order to avoid anything that happens in the future, it is best to depose the vassal king.

A few days passed.

The envoys of the Liang State to the peace talks arrived in the Western Capital and were greeted by the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"Welcome to Liang's peace talks." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said in a loud voice with a smile on his face: "The post station is ready, please come to the post station to rest first."

He noticed a luxurious, low-key carriage and speculated.

Headed by the envoys of the Liang State peace talks, he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Liang State, surnamed Qian.

Qian Shangshu was born very kindly, and at first glance he gave people a feeling of getting along very well, but the light that flashed in his eyes from time to time showed that this person was not easy to get along with.

"There's everyone from the Lawsy Dynasty." He smiled and bowed.

The onlookers were talking.

"Does Liang Guo really want peace talks, or is he pretending to make peace talks?"

"I don't think I really want to make peace. If there is really a need for peace talks, we will inform them in advance that they will send envoys to the peace talks. Liang Guo sent a so-called envoy to the peace talks, and then informed him."

"Boom, you say

Who was in the middle carriage? Could it be a marriage partner? The question is, with whom to marry?"

"Liang Guo probably wants to marry our regent."

"Is Liang Guo thinking about fart? Our regent is already married, and it has long been said that there will only be one regent in this life."

The envoys of the Liang State heard the discussion of the people, secretly exchanged a look, and followed the Ministry of Rites to the post station to rest.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu and others did not stay long, and after they settled the peace envoys of the Liang State, they entered the palace to resume their lives.

Qian Shangshu arranged for competent people to inquire about the situation on the streets: "Focus on the situation of the regent's palace and the imperial palace. Be careful not to be discovered."

The servant saluted, and hurried out of the inn.

Qian Shangshu paced back and forth in the room for a while, wondering what to do next. Although they have arrived in the Western Dynasty, the next thing is the main event.

Now the actual ruler of the Western Dynasty is the regent, and the regent is a favorite wife.

Let's start with the princess regent......

"Let's check the situation."

The envoys of the Liang State checked the situation, Mo Chen and Tang Yingying knew about it, and the couple did not care much, they did what they had to do every day, except for the envoys of the Liang State, and Mo Chen did not mention the matter of meeting the envoys of the Liang State at all.

Early Dynasty, Jinluan Palace.

It is still a matter of discussing the election of the crown prince.

The courtiers' hair was about to go bald, and it was really too difficult for them. Every time a person is chosen, the regent is not satisfied, and will throw them a copy of the information about what the person has done in secret, and the truth of the true character in private.

They thought it really wouldn't work, and it would be better for the regent to succeed him.

"I believe that with your ability, you will be able to choose the right prince in the shortest possible time." Mo Chen said lightly.

Courtiers: "......" No, they cannot choose a suitable prince in the shortest possible time.

Mo Chen didn't embarrass these courtiers too much: "Tomorrow, I will let those princes and grandsons out of the palace. I hope that this time, the courtiers will choose a suitable crown prince, and don't bother me anymore."

Courtiers: "Yes."

That is to say, the real battle for the succession is about to begin.
