Wei Sheng looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.

Mo Jun coughed awkwardly and sat upright.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and the general has learned to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, one outside, one inside. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi. Mei Sanniang's face turned red and kowtowed.

When Wei Shengyou was in the capital, he was also a frequent visitor to Mingyue Tower, so Mei Sanniang knew herself, but she didn't expect to see him again in this situation, and she was ashamed.

"His Royal Highness King Qi!" Mo Jun sorted out his emotions a little, and hurriedly got up to greet Wei Shengyou.

For him, Weishengyou is not only an elder, but also a teacher with the grace of knowledge and the virtue of cultivation. It can be said that Mo Jun's almost smooth sailing career, in addition to the appreciation of today's saints, is relying on the support of Wei Shengyou.

It is said that when Wei Shengyou left Beijing, Wei Shengzhao grabbed his hand and asked who could take over his position, Wei Shengyou bluntly recommended Mojun to him, causing the court to shake.

Although Na Mojun has outstanding achievements, his qualifications are too shallow, his age is too young, and there are so many highly respected people in the court, it stands to reason that it is not his turn to sit in the position of a great general. However, Wei Shengyou tried his best to oppose public opinion, argue on the basis of reason, and rely on his prestige in the court, and finally convinced the ministers. And it turns out that Wei Shengyou didn't choose the wrong person.

"Your Highness came alone in the starry night, there must be something important to explain to the juniors. Mo Jun arched his hand.

Mo Jun is a smart person, and it must be unusual for Wei Shengyou to come in this way at such a time.

"I can't afford the word 'confess', but I do have something I want to ask you. Wei Shengyou withdrew the smile on his face, knelt down, and said solemnly.

"Your Highness has something, to put it bluntly, the younger generation goes to the soup and fire, and he will not give up. Mo Jun smiled.

Wei Shengyou took a deep breath and was about to kowtow with his hands on the floor.

"Your Highness can't do it!" Mo Jun was startled and hurriedly helped him up.

"It's a very difficult thing to talk about, and it's quite tricky, and I am really disturbed that I am entrusted to you, and it will put you in a dilemma. But...... I really can't help it. Wei Sheng smiled reluctantly, and still bowed to Mo Jun very solemnly.

"Your Highness!"

Mo Jun looked at Wei Shengyou, who was full of shame, and felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

Wei Sheng squinted at Mei Sanniang, who understood what he meant, and was about to withdraw after bowing.

"Your Highness doesn't need to mind, they are all friends of the younger generation. Mo Jun gently grabbed Mei Sanniang and said softly.

Mei Sanniang was stunned for a moment and clenched her fists.

Wei Sheng glanced at the two of them in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Your Majesty wants to establish the crown prince, you should know, right?"

Mo Jun was stunned, he didn't expect that what Wei Shengyou said was actually this, but he still nodded and said, "I know." ”

"What do you think?"

"The eldest prince is docile, the third prince is smart, and the edge is even greater, both of them have the support of ministers behind them, but ......" Mo Jun paused and said with a smile: "The juniors are lazy and don't want to get involved in this matter." ”

"You and I have worked together for many years, and I can naturally guess your thoughts, so I ask you for one thing this time, regardless of my face. ”

"Your Highness, please speak. "Mo Jun had a premonition that something was not good, but what King Qi asked him to do, he had to do it anyway.

"This king trusts his life with his life, and I implore the general to protect the prince!" Wei Shengyou looked excited and bowed his head.

Rao is Mo Jun had already been mentally prepared, but he was still stunned at the moment.

Although Wei Shengyou said the word "protection", everyone knew that the eldest prince and the third prince were not siblings, and after one of them took the throne, they would definitely kill each other and be incompatible. Therefore, only by helping him ascend to the position of the crown prince can he be regarded as truly taking care of him.

And now the Great Prince faction is a cadre of courtiers headed by the Yang family, and the Three Princes faction is a cadre of courtiers headed by the Yuwen family, the two factions are like fire and water but they can't hold each other, and only another authoritative third person can break the balance. And the only ones in the court who have this ability are Sikong Quan and Mo Jun, but the Sikong clan has long existed in name only.

"Entrusted by His Royal Highness, Jun will not refuse...... Mo Jun said with a straight face: "But I also want to know the reason." ”

"It's a long story. Wei Sheng sighed deeply, looked far away, and said slowly.

"The eldest prince is actually my son. ”

"Poof!" Li Mujun saw that the atmosphere was tense, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when he heard this, he squirted out directly, and then coughed violently.

Mei Sanniang was pouring tea obediently, and with a shake of her hand, she dropped the teapot.

"What His Highness said, is it true?" Mo Jun's face became quite ugly.

The eldest prince is the son of Yang Guifei, and Yang Guifei is Wei Shengzhao's favorite concubine, if she hadn't died of illness back then, she must be the queen now. If she is still there, there will be no dispute between the princes at this moment, and it is logical for the eldest prince to succeed to the throne.

Could it be that Wei Shengyou still did this kind of thing behind the emperor's back?

"You're mistaken. Wei Shengyou saw that Mo Jun's face was pale, and hurriedly explained: "Yang Guifei and I were already in love back then, so Yang Kai was greedy for power, so he dedicated her to the imperial brother, but at that time she was already pregnant......

Mo Jun's face softened slightly, if this is the case, then he can continue to talk.

"Although I hate Yang Kai, but in the Emperor's House, many things are involuntary, not to mention that the Imperial Brother is very good to her, and I will feel at ease. ”

"It's just that later she gave birth to the eldest prince, and the pregnancy period was wrong, and the palace people claimed that it was only premature. But soon after, she died of a strange illness, and asked someone to give me a handkerchief written in blood, telling me that the eldest prince was actually my son. Wei Shengyou's expression was sad and sad.

Mo Jun was taken aback, so the death of Yang Guifei back then was a little intriguing, could it be that Wei Shengzhao had already discovered the truth?

This trip to the water is a bit muddy.

"I guess the imperial brother also knows seven or eight points about this matter, but he has not pierced it, and I live in fear all day long, ashamed of the imperial brother. But after all, I am a courtier of the Great Zhou, and I must do my best for the Great Zhou no matter what, which is the loyalty of this king. ”

Mo Jun was a little emotional, with the authority of Wei Shengyou in the court, he said that he would let go of it, and when he left the Beijing Division, he must have been ashamed of Wei Shengzhao.

"I don't have a wife, I only have an adopted son under my knees, although I can't recognize the eldest prince, but he is my only biological son after all. Therefore, no matter how the imperial brother treats me, I will not frown or complain, I only hope that I can exchange my life for the peace of the eldest prince, and I will have no regrets for the rest of my life. ”

Wei Shengyou lowered his posture again, lowered his head and pleaded with Mo Jun. The others couldn't see his expression, but they could hear his choked voice, and they couldn't help but be moved.

The life of a hero, defending the country and protecting the family, is this fate?

Mo Jun sighed.

It is not clear who is right and who is wrong, but it is the most sincere request of a hero, how can he not obey it? Although it was not his intention to intervene in the temple dispute because of this, perhaps this is the will of heaven.

"Your Highness, please rise. Mo Jun respectfully arched his hands and bowed deeply.

"Willing to serve the great prince. ”

Mei Sanniang's whole body trembled, she gently pulled Mo Jun's sleeve, looked at him with a sad face, and shook her head pleadingly, while the latter was relieved with a relaxed face.

"This has nothing to do with you, and getting involved may affect you...... The imperial brother may already know the life experience of the eldest prince, if you stand over there, it is really unpredictable how the imperial brother will treat you. Wei Shengyou smiled bitterly.

"Mo Jun's current position was brought up by His Royal Highness, and if he returns it because of this, I will not have the slightest complaint. His Royal Highness is willing to trust him with his life, and the younger generation will repay him with his life. Mo Jun was as calm as usual and said with a smile on his face.

Wei Sheng looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, and he remembered when he was young.

Then he let out a long sigh and got up to leave.

That night, the sky was full of stars, and there was no moon in sight.

Early the next morning, Mei Sanniang said hello and left in a hurry.

Last night, Li Mujun wanted to push her into Mo Jun's house, but she didn't expect that before Mo Jun refused, Mei Sanniang herself would be instigated first.

So when Li Mujun slept with her, he scolded "not angry" with hatred.

Mei Sanniang just laughed, saying that the general had a lot of worries now, and it was not appropriate to disturb him too much. It's just that Li Mujun always feels that her smile is very reluctant.

When only the two of them were left in the house, Mo Jun looked at the sky in a daze.

"Childe, are you okay?" asked Li Mujun with palpitations.

"It's fine, refreshed, feeling better. Seeing her timid appearance, Mo Jun couldn't help but snicker.

"How is it? Sister Mei is very powerful?" Li Mujun suddenly came to her senses, like an old mother recommending her daughter to outsiders, and said eloquently: "Sister Mei is good-looking, virtuous, has a good personality, and understands everything. If I were you, I would have married ...... long ago."

Mo Jun hurriedly interrupted, and said angrily: "Why are you worrying about this matter so much?"

"It's not worth it to look at it! Sister Mei is not worth it!" Li Mujun gritted his teeth.

"There's something you don't understand. ”

"What's that?"

"I can't even tell you. Mo Jun glanced at her meaningfully.

Li Mujun snorted, and the son of Xindao always treated her as a child, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

In the middle of his frustration, there was another knock at the door, this time softer and more cautious.

"Childe, why have so many people come to you recently!" Li Mujun glanced at him strangely, got up and went to open the door.

Mo Jun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is the so-called eventful autumn." ”

"It's summer!" Li Mujun shouted from afar and corrected.

"Summer?"

Mo Jun blinked, glanced at the willow trees in the yard, and seemed to hear a cicada chirping in his ears.

It's summer......
