After a few words of greeting, Sun Xianling retreated with interest.

Only then did the second prince say: "When you sent the letter to me before, I felt that the matter of Yushan was dangerous, I hurriedly asked Cheng Ye to bring the troops over, but I didn't expect to be ambushed and stopped in the middle of the road, you don't know how worried I was when I learned that they didn't arrive at Yushan." ”

"Fortunately, you are cautious, and you left a back hand on the southern side earlier, so that people can bring troops over to help you, otherwise I am afraid that this time I will really be cheated by Mo Jingyue."

After speaking, the second prince had palpitations, and said with concern: "I heard Cheng Ye say that you are injured, how is it, does it matter if you are injured?" ”

Mo Xuanchen said: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I have some skin injuries, but King Hui suffered a big crime this time, and the injuries are a little serious." ”

"Uncle Huiwang, he ......"

"King Hui knows everything."

Mo Xuanchen lowered his eyes and sighed lightly, "I have been hiding from King Hui before, and I also won his trust in the name of Qincha when I was in the south. ”

"I thought that if His Highness's people could come in time, they would be able to take Mo Jingyue secretly and quietly, and I was also mixed in and pretended to be from Dingzhou, but who would have thought that Mo Jingyue would suddenly make a move, and Mr. Cheng would be stopped in the middle of the road, so I had to use the people from the south in advance."

Although he did not mean to blame, he still spoke with a trace of remorse,

"King Hui is not a stupid person, he almost died in the hands of Mo Jingyue that night, and it is impossible for me to hide the matter with His Royal Highness from him."

"Although I tried to find a way to appease him temporarily, because of the affairs in the south, King Hui was deeply involved, and I should not dare to expose me and His Highness after returning to Beijing, but the world is unpredictable, His Highness had better go to see him in person later, if he can be brought over for His Highness's use, there will be someone on the Zongren Temple side to speak for His Highness when the prince is established in the future."

Hearing this, the second prince nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, after meeting you, I will go to see Uncle Huiwang." ”

Mo Xuanchen said: "Your Royal Highness doesn't have to worry too much, now you have me, Lord Chen, this time the Dingzhou disaster relief has made a great contribution, and also exposed and prevented Mo Jingyue from rebelling, and after returning to Beijing, you will be the first prince of the court, King Hui is not unable to see the situation clearly, as long as you are sincere, he will naturally know how to choose." ”

The second prince's face suddenly showed pride.

He also felt that King Hui didn't choose him, the ironclad prince, and it was difficult to choose his waste brothers.

Thinking of the harvest of going south this time, when he looked at Mo Xuanchen, he couldn't wait to hug him and shout "Xuanchen Wuqing" twice.

Chen Feng'an and Xun Ying sat on the side, looking at Mo Shizi and fooling the second prince into not finding the north in a few words, the eyes that looked at Shizi seemed to lead people to confidants, full of gratitude and numbness, and both of them were silent in unison.

No wonder the prince can choose the second prince.

Who wouldn't want to be such a foolish object.

The second prince didn't know how unlucky he was in Chen Feng'an's eyes, and he couldn't see the pity of the two, he just said to Mo Xuanchen: "But I saw that your letter said that Mo Jingyue's father and son ran away, did anyone catch it?" ”

"Not yet."

Mo Xuanchen looked a little bad when he lowered his eyes, "The situation was too chaotic that night, and His Highness's people were suddenly blocked, although General Xu Lao led people over in time to take down the rebels, but Mo Jingyue's father and son took advantage of the chaos to disappear." ”

"I've sent people to block all the roads around and have people hunt them down, but they haven't been found."

"The matter of Yushan cannot be known to His Majesty for the time being, and it is not appropriate for His Highness to let people know about Mo Jingyue's rebellion before returning to Beijing, otherwise the matter of me returning to the south to take over the military power may change, so I don't dare to search for it, and I only asked people to block the way back to the south, and ...... else It can only be checked slowly. ”

"But Your Highness doesn't have to worry, their father and son are now the dogs who lost their families, and the matter of Mo Jingyue's collusion with Nanchu has spread all over the army, so he can't go back to the southern border."

The second prince has always known that his father is jealous of the southern realm, and Mo Jingyue is even different from other Mo family members, and he has been extremely disrespectful to his father since he took the throne.

He had heard his father mention Mo Jingyue several times, and the British Duke had also told him that if Mo Jingyue could be captured and brought back to the capital, not only would the four princes have no place to turn over, but also improve his prestige in the army, and his father would be blue-eyed.

But now Mo Jingyue has run away.

After listening to Mo Xuanchen's words, the second prince was a little unhappy and lost the credit in his hand, but in the end, this time there was a mistake on his side, and he didn't say much, so he only said to Mo Xuanchen:

"Try to catch people, otherwise it will be a disaster to stay outside."

Mo Xuanchen nodded yes.

The second prince groaned: "You plan to return directly to the southern border this time?" ”

Mo Xuanchen said: "I'm afraid that if I don't go back now, once Your Majesty knows about the changes in the southern border, he will directly recover the military power." ”

Seeing that the second prince frowned, he explained,

"In the past, there was Mo Jingyue in the south, and it was not good for Your Majesty to interfere without permission, but now that Mo Jingyue's whereabouts are unknown, Your Majesty has the best excuse to take over the south."

"He can take the opportunity to install the military generals of the DPRK and China to enter the southern border, and I am too young and have not experienced much war, if Your Majesty forcibly leaves me in the capital, or says that I will be trained for a few years and then let me go back, then the southern border will only be handed over."

"And although the matter of Yushan is concealed at the moment, there is no impermeable wall in the world, if you don't forcibly take over the southern border before Your Majesty reacts, until he finds out in the future that I and Your Highness have joined forces to plot Zhennan Wangfu and calculate Mo Jingyue, then even Your Highness will be implicated by me."

Mo Xuanchen's voice was slow, and every sentence put him and the second prince together, constantly hinting that the second prince's interests were the interests of the second prince.

"After His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, the case of Mo Jingyue and the four princes will be retried, and countless people in the court will be implicated, and someone may take risks to protect the four princes."

"If Your Highness has no military power in hand, it is too easy to be held hostage by those people in the court, if this case is completed, His Highness will naturally be praised by the government and the opposition, and he can also take the opportunity to install his own people to replace those important positions involved, but if it is not done well, His Highness will become a big joke, and he will be ridiculed and incompetent."

"And the four princes were defeated, the eldest prince is guilty, and the other princes are not as good as His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is the first person in the palace, but if you are offended, Your Majesty may not want to see His Royal Highness alone."

The second prince was stunned: "You mean ......?"

"Your Majesty is fifty and three this year, although he is no longer in the prime of life, he is in good health, and it is impossible to abdicate in a short period of time."

Mo Xuanchen raised his eyes to look at the second prince, and his words were straightforward,

"Your Majesty is very concerned about the control of the court, and it is impossible for him to tolerate people in the court who have more prestige than him when he is in power, and if he really wants to establish a prince, he should have chosen one of the princes to cultivate carefully and teach him the emperor's strategy, instead of supporting the opposition between the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and secretly taking care of His Royal Highness and several other princes, so that you and the eldest prince can stand in a three-legged position, so as to balance the court."

"At the beginning, the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and even His Royal Highness seemed to be favored by everyone, and everyone had a chance to win the championship, but in fact, the court situation was all in the hands of His Majesty, and His Royal Highness had touched more than half of the real power?"
