Chapter 1114 The Great Zhou Emperor’s Throne Whirlpool
However, Han Su's father thought he was wrong. Although Mo Hai was still Mo Hai, this time Mo Hai was not with Yan Qingwu, but with another woman.
"Boss Han, don't you recognize me?"
Mo Hai smiled.
"I know you, of course I know you."
Hearing Mo Hai speak, Han Su's father came back to his senses and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Have the people at the Zhenguo Palace given you any trouble these past few days?"
Mo Hai asked.
"No, no, I just went to the Zhen Guo Gong's house to meet with the Zhen Guo Gong that day. The Zhen Guo Gong was very nice and did not embarrass our family."
Boss Han said hurriedly.
Not to mention that Duke Zhen Guo was not in trouble, even if Duke Zhen Guo was really in trouble, Boss Han and his family would not dare to say anything. If Mo Hai really went to kill Duke Zhen Guo, then their family would be guilty.
"That's good, Boss Han, prepare some food and good wine."
Mo Hai nodded slightly.
Mo Hai and Shan Jiuxuan sat down in a booth separated by a screen. Boss Han hurriedly went to the kitchen to explain, and then ran to talk to his daughter and wife.
As soon as Han Su heard that Mr. Mo was coming, she couldn't wait to see him. She originally thought it was Mo Hai and Yan Qingwu, two acquaintances, but when she ran over and took a look, she realized that it was not Yan Qingwu who came this time, but Yan Qingwu.
A strange woman.
"This is Qingwu's senior sister."
Sensing Han Su's embarrassment, Mo Hai explained.
Shan Jiuxuan also smiled at Han Su.
Han Su then relaxed slightly.
Mo Hai finished his meal at Shunfa Restaurant and left directly. No matter what the reason was, Han Su's family was not harmed, and Mo Hai did not need to trouble Zhen Guogong.
"Mr. Mo, you really don't look like an expert."
Walking with Mo Hai on the streets at dusk, Shan Jiuxuan couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah?"
Mo Hai smiled.
"In my impression, an expert has an invisible aura about him, and looks like he should not approach strangers. You don't have this aura, and you are very approachable."
Shan Jiuxuan smiled and said that after being together with Mo Hai for a long time, she was always touched by Mo Hai's behavior.
"Of course I have this kind of aura, but this kind of aura is for dealing with enemies, not ordinary people. It's naturally unnecessary. Besides, I'm more casual and free-spirited than most monks."
Mo Hai said.
"I used to think that if you were to become an immortal, you could be free and easy, but later I realized that there are a lot of rules when you step into the path of immortality."
Shan Jiuxuan sighed.
"Rules are all set by people. You are limited by the rules just because your strength is not at the level of breaking and ignoring the rules. When your cultivation level is high, there will be no rules to trap you. Even in the end,
Not even the laws of the universe can make you bow your head."
Mo Hai said.
"But it's so difficult."
Shan Jiuxuan shook her head. Although she understood what Mo Hai said, Shan Jiuxuan still knew herself. The level Mo Hai mentioned was beyond her reach in this life, so she would eventually be troubled by various rules.
Mo Hai smiled, this was difficult for others.
"Mr. Mo, where are you going now?"
Shan Jiuxuan took the initiative to change the topic.
"Go and meet the prince of the Zhou Empire and King Zhao."
Mo Hai said.
"Now that there is a prince, shouldn't the throne of the Zhou Dynasty be passed directly to the prince?
Could something else happen?"
Although Shan Jiuxuan was not interested in the throne of the Great Zhou Empire, now she still had to find a topic to talk to Mo Hai.
"Since I am involved in this matter now, there must be some changes in the matter. Who will be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be determined tonight."
Mo Hai smiled.
Shan Jiuxuan nodded, yes, people like Mr. Mo have intervened, I'm afraid even a beggar on the street can become an emperor.
Chatting endlessly with Mo Hai, he soon arrived near the Prince's Mansion.
Because these days are particularly critical, there are many times more security around the Prince's Mansion than usual, and not even a fly can fly in.
However, these warnings were nothing to Mo Hai.
Mo Hai and Shan Jiuxuan landed quietly at the Prince's Mansion. The huge mansion was filled with a murderous atmosphere. In the past few days, the Prince was nervous and King Zhao was nervous. Although the Prince was justified, King Zhao's strength should not be underestimated.
, almost half of the ministers in the court were on the side of King Zhao, and King Zhao was very powerful. In the past, ministers in the court had impeached King Zhao again and again, and even collected information about King Zhao's plot against the prince.
The evidence of his position was finally resolved by King Zhao. In several confrontations, the prince was always at a disadvantage.
How could the prince not be afraid of such an opponent?
In fact, according to normal procedures, the old emperor is now seriously ill and dying, and it is impossible to change the edict and establish a new crown prince. As long as the edict does not change, the position of the prince will be as stable as Mount Tai. This is something that does not need to worry, but the prince and the prince
The party members were extremely nervous during this period, paying attention to King Zhao's movements all the time.
If King Zhao made any changes, the princelings would probably feel more at ease. However, King Zhao and his party did not make any changes. King Zhao went to the old emperor's bedside every day to perform his filial piety. When he saw the prince, he would say hello and chat politely.
chat.
But there is no movement on the surface, which does not mean there is no movement secretly. This kind of silence before the storm is even more unsettling.
In the prince's study.
In addition to the prince, there were also the generals of the dynasty, the left prime minister, several ministers, and even the chief eunuch in the palace.
The prince stood in front of the bookshelf, holding a history book and flipping through it. When everyone had arrived, the prince slowly closed the history book, then turned to look at the chief eunuch.
"How is your father doing now?"
the prince asked.
"Before I came, His Majesty had already taken medicine and fell asleep. Concubine Shu was taking care of him."
The chief eunuch responded.
The prince nodded slightly, then looked at the people in the study, and said in a rather serious tone: "Is there any movement from King Zhao's side?"
"not yet."
The left prime minister said.
"King Zhao has always been rigorous in his actions, and I'm afraid it's even more watertight this time. I'm actually not worried about your majesty. The prince has made no mistakes now. Even if King Zhao uses tricks, I'm afraid he won't be able to let your majesty change the prince's edict at will. What I'm most worried about now is
At the last moment, King Zhao will directly attack and force the palace. The imperial guards in the city have always been managed by King Zhao. Although my troops have been stationed thirty miles outside the city, foreign troops are not allowed to enter the imperial city.
, if King Zhao really wants to force the palace by then, it will be detrimental to us."
The hussar general said.
"I'm afraid if I give King Zhao the courage, he won't dare to force the palace. Once he forces the palace, he will be treason. I'm afraid no one will accept it."
The left prime minister disagreed.
"Prime Minister Zuo, that is the thinking of you literati. In this world, the winner and the loser are the iron rules. History books are written by the victors. We did not give King Zhao the courage. No one can guarantee that he will end up in the end."
I'm afraid even he himself can't guarantee whether he will be forced into the palace or not."
The hussar general smiled.
"General Chen is right when he says that if a king succeeds or loses, forcing him into the palace may be King Zhao's last resort. Once the last resort comes, he will most likely use it."
Other ministers also expressed their opinions.
Suddenly, there were a lot of discussions in the study room.
However, the entire Prince's Mansion has been heavily guarded, and everyone can speak freely without fear of being overheard by outsiders.
The prince remained silent and listened to everyone's arguments, but no one's opinion reached his heart.
"Prince, I have a rash idea."
Suddenly, the official minister stood up and said respectfully.
Everyone couldn't help but stop arguing and turned their attention to the Minister of Personnel.
