When Chu Mo came to the Taishi Mansion, he first coexisted with Wen Qingyuan for a long time, and then under the call of the housekeeper, Chu Mo was taken to Wen Haoxuan's study.

"Coming?"

Seeing Chu Mo coming, Wen Haoxuan first said hello casually, then looked at the housekeeper and said, "Lao Fu, you go and wait outside the door, no one can get half a step close to the study without Master Ben's order." ”

"Yes!"

Fauber hurriedly bowed, then turned and walked out of the study, closed the door and waited outside the door.

"Boy, how about you look at the word old man?"

In the study, Wen Haoxuan held up the four big characters that had just been copied and displayed them in front of Chu Mo.

"The clouds are flowing smoothly, and the pen is like a cloud. The father-in-law is worthy of the hand of Wenchen, and this calligraphy can be called the style of everyone in the world. ”

Chu Mo said with a smile.

Listening to Chu Mo's words, Wen Haoxuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"You kid, you can say things that are pleasing to people."

As he spoke, Wen Haoxuan beckoned to Chu Mo, motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "You went out of the city today?" ”

When Chu Mo heard this, he was stunned and looked at Wen Haoxuan with a surprised expression.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, you have to know that this is Kyoto, not Beiliang, where you went on this trip, who you met, I'm afraid it's not just me, maybe even Your Majesty knows it well."

Wen Haoxuan continued.

Hearing this, Chu Mo raised his eyebrows, but soon returned to normal.

"Father-in-law, Horn and Xiaoxu met late at night, it shouldn't be just for this matter, right?"

Regarding the affairs of Zhou Wenbing's family, Chu Mo can only say that he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, as for whether they can escape this catastrophe, then let it be fate.

"Since Zhou Wenbing was rescued by you, you must have known a lot of things. Why don't you talk about it first? ”

In this regard, Chu Mo did not refuse, and then told the truth he got from Zhou Wenbing's mouth.

After some detailed explanation, Wen Haoxuan, who listened to Chu Mo's narration, sighed softly: "What Zhou Wenbing said is indeed true, not only them, even I am just a chess piece in the hands of His Majesty." ”

"Father-in-law, Xiao Xu really wants to know, but his father-in-law's Sangu Military Department was also under Li Deyi's secret order?"

Chu Mo said with a straight face.

Wen Haoxuan's face was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head.

"You are wrong, the old man's visit to the military department was not a secret order from His Majesty, but the old man went in order to be able to persuade the secretary of the military department at that time to issue a document to send troops. It's just that it backfired, and the old man didn't see the military department when he looked at the military department. Compared to him, he should have received His Majesty's order early in the morning, so he avoided it. ”

"Actually, not long after the Northern Yan and Southern Qi invaded Beiliang, I found Your Majesty and told me about it, but at that time, Your Majesty was already afraid of the King of Beiliang, who had a heavy army, no matter how the old man persuaded him to send troops to reinforce, His Majesty never agreed."

"Zhou Wenbing has a good saying, maybe in Your Majesty's heart, whether it is Northern Yan or Southern Qi, the threat they bring to the Dawu Dynasty is not as good as the Northern Liang Palace."

Wen Haoxuan laughed to himself.

"Why? My Beiliang Wangfu has guarded Beiliang for decades for the sake of the Jiangshan Sheji of the Dawu Dynasty, even when the first emperor was in power, the first emperor also trusted my Beiliang Wangfu very much, but why did Li Deyi think that the Beiliang Wangfu would be a threat? ”

Heavy troops?

Meritorious master?

This is just a high-sounding excuse, and there is no excuse for the so-called desire to add to the crime.

"Boy, do you know why His Majesty was able to overthrow his imperial brother and stand out among the many princes and become the one who inherited the throne? Your Majesty can ascend to the throne today, and you can sit on this throne because you have the support of these generals with heavy troops behind you, including Su Guogong, Wei Guogong, Guangyang Wang, and even your father. ”

"A person who relies on military power to ascend to the throne, and the people he is afraid of will naturally become these people in the court who hold heavy troops. Otherwise, why do you think Su Guogong and Wei Guogong would retreat to the palace and ignore the affairs of the court? They did it just to protect themselves. ”

"It is said that the new emperor of Southern Qi ascended the throne and began to advocate the revival of literature and the abolition of martial arts, but who knows that this move of the emperor of Southern Qi is just to imitate His Majesty's policy of governing the country. Because His Majesty is also afraid of those who hold military power, at will, His Majesty began to promote Confucianism, which is why now my Dawu Dynasty is full of talents, and it is difficult to find a general......"

When Chu Mo heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.

"Heh, in order to avoid threats to his throne, he looks like a Ming Jun on the surface, but behind the scenes, he does such a thing, no wonder why the rest of the dynasties look down on the Dawu Dynasty so much."

"The Dawu Dynasty has such a king, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky."

Wen Haoxuan shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, I also have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, I am a sworn brother with your father, and at the same time I am the master of the Dawu Dynasty, as the head of the Wenchen, I did not persuade His Majesty to let go of his prejudices, but Yuzhong obeyed his secret order, watching his old friend die on the battlefield, the old man was also grief-stricken." ”

"If you hold a grudge against me for this, I have no complaints."

After speaking, Wen Haoxuan was speechless, but Chu Mo could see the thick shame on his face.

Chu Mo knew that Wen Haoxuan was inherently wrong in this matter, but in the final analysis, his Taishi was just a courtier, even if he wanted to persuade Li Deyi, but Li Deyi was determined, what could Wen Haoxuan do.

"Father-in-law, if you didn't know the truth, Xiao Xu did have some resentment towards you in his heart, but Xiao Xu could also see that his father-in-law had tried his best in this matter, so now Xiao Xu resents his father-in-law, if it were Xiao Xu's position in his father-in-law, I am afraid that he would choose to make the same decision."

Listening to Chu Mo's words and looking at Chu Mo's calm expression, although Wen Haoxuan was forgiven by Chu Mo, he was always ashamed of what happened back then.

"By the way, you should have already entered the secret room in this study, right?"

Wen Haoxuan said suddenly.

Chu Mo shook his head and said, "I did find out about the existence of the secret room, but in order not to startle the snake, I didn't go in. ”

"No wonder I found that the mechanism of the secret room had been moved, but I didn't find any trace of anyone entering, it turns out that your kid has already discovered the location of this secret room early in the morning."

"Actually, for others, the things in this secret room are useless at all, but for you, they have some effect, and this is the letter that your father wrote to me before that incident happened, as for what was written on it, I have not read it, since you already know the truth of the matter back then, then I will leave these letters to you to deal with."

As he spoke, Wen Haoxuan turned around to unravel the scroll on the wall and slowly opened the passage of the secret room......
