"Your Majesty, are you satisfied now? Now, the strength of the entire harem and the major families in the court has almost collapsed. It can be said that the entire Beichen is controlled by you alone. Now you should get what you deserve.
I wish." After being silent for a long time, the Queen Mother finally spoke, with a hint of unwillingness in her words. Although her face was sick, she still couldn't hide her grace and splendor. Every move she made showed her demeanor.
Thousands.
"Why did the Queen Mother say this? This is the world of the Jun family, isn't it?" Jun Moli's cold and arrogant eyes never left the tea cup in his hand, and Jun Moli's dark eyes were full of ridicule. Beichen belonged to his Jun family.
, it’s not anyone’s turn to covet it yet.
With a slight cough, and with a bit of unwillingness and embarrassment, the Queen Mother calmly picked up the teacup and drank it silently.
After taking a sip, the Queen Mother spoke again, "Tian'er, in this world, the Ai family is all in your hands. From now on, you have to run it well and don't let the Ai family and all the officials down!"
He sighed with sincerity, having firmly held on to his rights for so many years, now he finally let them go.
"Well, Queen Mother, you came to see me in the imperial study today. Didn't you just come to congratulate me?" Jun Moli looked at her mother thoughtfully. Since she chose to let go, if she could still treat her
The only thing that bothered her was that one thing. Jun Moli, who understood it clearly, had an indifferent smile on his lips. He was a mother who really didn't forget to worry about anything.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family wants to ask you, how did you come up with the idea of arranging that marriage for your brother?" Because of Jun Moli's question, the Queen Mother also remembered another important thing when she came to the Imperial Study Room.
The dignified King of the South of Beichen, regardless of his identity or status, is inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. And the Princess of the South who is married to him is actually the daughter of a grass bandit from an unknown origin. She is not from the right family, how can this be allowed?
?
"How can you let your brother marry a gangster whose character and appearance you know nothing about? Have you asked your brother? Even if he agrees, the Ai family will never agree!" What a joke!
She is the son of the royal family and has no worries about having no woman to marry. She must not force her royal son to marry such a woman!
"Mother, everything should be done with priority. This woman is the daughter of the owner of Heifeng Village. As a condition of marriage, once Yu Di marries her, Heifeng Village, as the natal family of Princess Nan, will naturally be convinced in due time.
For me, Beichen, marrying that woman is just a delaying tactic." Seeing that his mother cared so much about Yu Di, he reluctantly explained.
"Besides, Yu Di is still just a child now. After marrying Princess Nan, it will take a few years before he can truly perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou. In a few years, if Yu Di is still dissatisfied with the current Princess Nan, then by then
So what’s the point of breaking up?” Anyway, by then, Black Wind Village will definitely be in Beichen’s bag.
"Tian'er, you didn't lie to your mother? Yu'er is your biological brother, you should take more care of him. Well, the Ai family can rest assured." The queen mother felt that her heart, which had been worried for a long time, suddenly dropped to the ground.
"Of course. In a few days, Brother Yu will be back. At that time, we will set off from the palace and go to Heifeng Village to welcome the bride." His brother has always been wild in nature. He has been free from restraint since he was a child and is always traveling outside.
. Now by welcoming the bride, it is just right to keep him in the palace.
"Yu'er is coming back? That's great." When the Queen Mother heard the news, she beamed with joy.
"That day, in order to get married smoothly when Yu'er comes back, the Ai family proposed that from now on, the palace will start preparing for the wedding of Princess Nan." The Queen Mother changed her sickly face, and her whole body suddenly changed.
I feel a lot more energetic.
"Well, I have to ask the astrologer to calculate the auspicious days recently so that I can choose the most auspicious day for Yu'er to welcome the bride."
"We also need to inform the Internal Affairs Department as soon as possible to purchase wedding gifts in the near future and purchase various items needed for the wedding banquet."
"Also, I have to think carefully about how many wedding invitations I will send out and which guests I will invite to attend, so that I can look like a royal wedding..."
In an instant, the Queen Mother changed from a graceful and luxurious woman to a mother who cared about her son's wedding.
"I'll leave it to my mother to handle it." Thinking that her only brother was about to get married, Jun Moli's face, which had always been quiet about emotions and anger, couldn't help but feel a bit of joy.
After a pause, the Queen Mother looked at Jun Moli with a somewhat complicated expression, and then responded happily, "Of course, Your Majesty, the Ai family will not disturb you in handling state affairs. The Ai family will go down and think about it carefully."
What things should be prepared?”
"Well, then it's hard work for the Queen Mother." Jun Moli regained her indifferent expression. She gradually walked away from the Queen Mother's leaving figure.
"My lord, how are your injuries now? Liu Chen saw that he was too late to fight, so I beg your lord to punish him!" After the Queen Mother left, a figure quietly fell to the ground, and he knelt down.
"Get up. I was careless when I got hurt." Jun Moli was not surprised by the visitor. The Liu Chen in front of him was his secret guard. Unlike his brother, Liu Chen was not tall or outstanding.
With his appearance, no one would be impressed by him casually among the crowd. It was precisely because of his ordinary appearance that he made him his secret guard.
Jun Moli's evil eyes were filled with twinkling glints. Only such people can be unexpected and win at critical moments. Isn't it?
However, at that time, he happened to be paying attention to the situation in Nanyue, so he asked Liu Chen to inquire about it and take care of the hidden spies he had arranged in Nanyue earlier. This is why when he left the palace, he was surrounded only by
The reason why Defu, a follower with no martial arts skills, didn't bring any other secret guards was because he didn't believe the others at all.
"What's going on over there at Nanyue?" He suddenly asked coldly, and the indifference in his words was evident.
"My lord, according to your instructions, I have sent spies stationed in Nanyue to wait for the opportunity. On the one hand, they will encourage the courtiers who loyally support the old king and the prince to rise up to resist; on the other hand, they will incite the eldest prince to raise troops and cause trouble." Although Liu Chen didn't understand.
Why does Your Majesty go to such trouble? Why don't you just ask the eldest prince to raise an army directly? Then you have to encourage the ministers to rise up and resist? Doesn't this give Prince Nanyue a chance to fight back?
"Well, you did a good job!" The Taiwei who dared to touch Beichen made it difficult for him to move forward in Nanyue!
He knew that Liu Chen had doubts, but he would not explain. Because, for some things, he just had to follow the instructions. There was no need to know everything.
Encourage the ministers to give Nanyue Laowang and the eldest prince a sense of urgency.
In this way, the dying old king, for the sake of the stability of the country in Nanyue, would naturally call the prince who was "traveling" abroad to return to the country to protect his crown. And the eldest prince, because of the return of a competitor, the throne may not be guaranteed.
In this way, he will set up various obstacles to prevent Prince Nanyue from returning home smoothly. At least, there will definitely be various assassinations on the way Prince Nanyue returns home.
Of course, in order to make Nanyue's political situation more turbulent and make the Nanyue Crown Prince more resilient, Beichen will also give a small push to the situation along the way. Whether he can survive and return home smoothly depends on his fortune.
As for incitement, because the eldest prince of Nanyue is a self-willed person, asking him to raise an army and start an uprising will never succeed. This is just to hold back the prince of Nanyue. After all, for the sake of the throne, who will
Everyone will give it a try.
I have long heard that the Prince of Nanyue is very resourceful and excellent in martial arts. This time's attack is the proof for him to judge whether he is worthy of being regarded as his opponent. I hope he will not let him down.
"Before entering the palace, I have also verified that the man over at Nanyue did not leave Nanyue for traveling. He came to Beichen just to encourage my ministers in Beichen to take the opportunity to rebel!" Liu Chen calmly said
There was a hint of anger in his tone. Fortunately, he only found Mr. Nangong. Fortunately, Mr. Nangong was determined and would not let him take advantage of him.
"Do you know his specific location now?" Jun Moli thought for a moment and asked.
"I don't know, I just know that I haven't seen him since he showed up at Nangong's house that day." He probably heard about something going on in the country, so he hurried back.
Nangong Mo? This is a smart man. Jun Moli remembered that when he asked Nangong Mo to tell his opinion about Nanyue, his performance was very satisfactory to him. After that, he secretly went to the Taiwei Mansion. Jun
The situation at that time appeared in Mo Li's mind.
"What? This person claims to be a noble person?" Nangong Mo couldn't help but be a little surprised when the housekeeper came in to report. This person is quite arrogant. In today's world, for Nangong Mo, the only person who can be called a noble person is
The one in the palace. What is this person's background? He is so arrogant?
"Sir, it wasn't that person who said it, it was his entourage who said it. But listening to that voice, it reminds me a bit of my father-in-law who came to the mansion to announce his decree before. He always spoke with a loud voice." The housekeeper replied quickly.
"Raising your voice? Is it really...! Butler, where is the noble lady? Quickly, lead me there." Nangong Mo suddenly thought of something and grabbed the butler's hand with some excitement.
"Master, don't worry, they are in the living room. The servant has already served them good tea. At this moment, it will only be half a cup of tea. Don't worry, please change into clothes for entertaining guests first." The butler said.
Seeing Nangong Mo's excited expression, he was relieved and reminded at the same time.
"Not bad, come on, help me change my clothes." Nangong Mo looked at the housekeeper with admiration, and his expression returned to calm.
When Nangong Mo came to the living room and saw the familiar figure who was elegantly raising a cup of tea, he was suddenly excited and a little uneasy. Could it be that the person on the other side of Nanyue who met him couldn't hide it from his eyes?
This one?
"Emperor...Emperor..." Anyone can hear the trembling in his voice.
"Sir Taiwei, how have you been lately?" His eyes signaled Nangong Mo to be quiet, Jun Moli opened the folding fan and smiled evilly.
"Master Huang... I'd like to thank you for your trouble. I've been doing well lately. Master, please come to the study to talk." After a pause, he looked around, and Nangong Mo extended his hand to invite him. Even in his own home,
There's no guarantee that the walls won't have ears. It's better to be careful.
When they arrived at the door of the study, the accompanying housekeeper stopped when he saw Nangong Mo, Jun Moli, and Defu entering the study. He reached out to close the door and stood guard outside the room.
"Your Excellency Taiwei will have a loyal subordinate when he arrives." Jun Moli looked at the butler's movements and turned to Nangong Mo.
"Thank you for your compliments, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I wonder why you are here today...?" Although Nangong Mo had already had a premonition in his heart, after all, Nangong Mo was someone who had been in the officialdom for many years. He understood that at this time, he could not act rashly or mess up his position.
.
"I wonder if Mr. Taiwei still remembers the conversation you had with another man in this study room half a month ago before the clock was called?" Defu, who was standing quietly behind Jun Moli,
At this time, he raised his head and looked at Jun Moli with fixed eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Bang——" When he heard this sentence, the teacup he had just picked up slipped and fell to the ground. Nangong Mo finally lost his composure and slumped down on the chair with a face ashen as death.
superior.
Jun Moli turned a blind eye to Nangong Mo's actions. He glanced at Nangong Mo coldly, waiting for Nangong Mo's next move. In this land of Beichen, there was nothing that he would ignore easily. So people who want to hide things from others
, he won’t let it go easily!
At this time, Nangong Mo had put aside all chance thoughts. He hurriedly knelt at Jun Moli's feet, "I know my mistake. I beg the emperor to show mercy and spare the noble concubine. I am willing to accept any punishment!" Since that time Ming Ming
After Ming'er re-entered the palace, he now lived in trepidation every day, fearing that one day the emperor would discover that he had conspired with Nanyue. Although he later clearly rejected them after Ming'er's reminder,
It's hard to guarantee that they won't see the temptation to surrender and turn around and bite him.
Ming'er is his most important treasure. As long as he wants, he will try his best to satisfy her. It's all his fault. Because of his negligence, Ming'er has lost her mother since she was a child. Now, should she let her
Is his Ming'er reviled by the world because of him? No, no matter what the price, he will protect his Ming'er and prevent her from suffering any further harm.
However, he didn't understand why the emperor would choose to question him in his palace instead of in the court? Wouldn't that be more intimidating? After all, who knew that the man over at Nanyue had not only looked for him, but also
Haven't you gone to find anyone else? But at the same time, he also saw an opportunity. The emperor is not a fatuous person. Since he chose to come to him privately, he has his own considerations. I hope that the result will be something he can bear.
Not bad, there was no fight between trapped beasts. Jun Moli put down the tea cup slowly and looked at Nangong Mo's action of leaning forward to surrender with approval. Well, he will give him a chance!
"Liu Chen." He called out a person's name softly, and then faced Nangong Mo, "Do you have any last words you want to say?" Jun Moli smiled lightly, but the words he said made people feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.
Are you really helpless? Looking at a figure holding a sword that appeared in front of you at some point, Nangong Mo said sadly, "I don't ask for the emperor's forgiveness. I just hope that the emperor can take this for the sake of my confession.
Spare my daughter, Concubine Xian, I am innocent. She knows nothing. Please forgive me..." As he spoke, Nangong Mo couldn't help but burst into tears. With the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist, Nangong Mo slowly closed his eyes.
.
The overwhelming sword energy and monstrous killing intent, with unstoppable momentum, stabbed at Nangong Mo - "Get up." Jun Moli said coldly to Nangong Mo who woke up slowly.
"I am doing this today to let you understand. Don't forget that you are Beichen's Taiwei. No matter who holds a knife to your neck in the future, you can only be born as Beichen's official and die as Beichen's official."
This time, for the sake of your ability to rein in the situation, I will let you and Concubine Xian go temporarily. If there is another time, it will be like this!" I don't know how Jun Moli took action, Nangong Mo just felt
A gust of wind blew by, and in a moment, a strand of his gray hair mixed with inky black hair fell lifelessly to the ground.
Nangong Mo, who was deeply shocked, was thankful that he had escaped death.
"This is a list. You go and prepare it. If there are any omissions, make up for them." There was a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
"This is..." Nangong Mo was shocked again. The list was all officials involved in embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and most of them were from the Sixth Department. The Sixth Department was an organization under the control of the Yushi. The Yushi was so rude.
It seems that the emperor in front of him will not let go easily. Thinking of this, Nangong Mo couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he did not become the target of the monarch in front of him. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
"When the time comes, I want you to find them all. As for the positions they have vacated, I will make my own arrangements." In the court, some new forces should also come in.
"I obey your decree!" he replied firmly.
Nangong Mo actually loves his daughter. Jun Moli came back to his senses. At this time, Liu Chen had already received the order to arrange a "robbery, murder and trap" for the eldest prince. Let him take a look at the Nanyue Crown Prince.
