"You have been guarding the imperial mausoleum all these years, but have you still been reading a lot?"
the old emperor asked.
Although Fang Ru was recommended by Mo Hai and the old emperor did not dare to disobey him, becoming an emperor was not that easy, otherwise every emperor would not be so cautious in choosing his successor.
"Don't dare to neglect your studies, read books often."
Fang Ru replied.
Next, the old emperor asked Fang Ru some questions about how to be an emperor. Fang Ru all answered fluently and also had his own opinions.
"It seems that Mr. Mo is not wrong about you. You are indeed suitable to be an emperor, and you will also be a good emperor."
The old emperor smiled happily.
"I just want to contribute my meager strength to the great Zhou Dynasty's foundation."
Fang Ru said modestly.
"What are you going to do about the former princelings and the Zhaowang Party?"
The old emperor asked again.
"In fact, they are not wrong. The country still needs them, so I will not embarrass them."
Fang Ru said.
"Haha, if I hadn't experienced death once, I wouldn't have known about this kind of thing. New rules must be established in the future to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. You probably don't want your prince to fight for the throne a hundred years later.
Let the blood flow."
The old emperor said thoughtfully.
"It's just that this kind of thing has been inevitable throughout the ages. Rights can make people lose their way."
Fang Ru said helplessly.
"Take your time, you will always find a solution. And these ministers, we have to perform a show for them tomorrow. I will sing the red face, and you will sing the white face. When the time comes, they will naturally agree with you from the bottom of their hearts.
.”
The old emperor said.
…
At this moment, it is the Zhenguo Palace.
The Duke of Zhen and his family were all waiting anxiously in the hall. Compared with the others, the fifth lady and Liu Waner were much calmer. They knew that the master would be fine, and the vortex of the throne should be ended tonight.
.
"The master is back."
Suddenly, the housekeeper shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhen had already stepped into the living room, followed by Mo Hai and Shan Jiuxuan.
"Master~" Several of Liu Zhen's wives swarmed up to him, looking excited to see him again after a long absence.
"Ahem, please step back and stand still. Don't behave yourself at all."
Liu Zhen coughed and said loudly, he didn't dare to lose his sense in front of Mo Hai. He was a ruthless person. A person who killed the prince and King Zhao in front of the emperor, his life was even more disdainful in front of this person.
Forget it.
"Master, why are you with this person?"
Suddenly, a guard leader stood up and said.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Zhen asked with a frown.
"Master, Master Liu Heng died in his hands."
The leader of the guards knew Mo Hai. It was Liu Heng who led them to trouble Mo Hai last time.
Liu Zhen was shocked for a moment, but his reaction was quick.
"The traitor offended Mr. Mo and deserved to die."
Liu Zhen scolded in a deep voice, then quickly looked at Mo Hai, smiled and apologized: "Mr. Mo, last time my treacherous son offended you, he really wanted to die. If he can die in your hands, Mr. Mo, it belongs to him."
Blessing."
"Mr. Zhen Guo, it's a good thing you didn't embarrass the Shunfa Restaurant family, otherwise, your current fate would be no better than that of King Zhao."
Mo Hai smiled lightly.
Liu Zhen's back felt cold and she secretly thought she was lucky.
But at this time, the eldest lady stood up angrily. How could she remain calm when she saw the enemy who killed her son?
"Master, he killed Heng'er, you have to avenge Heng'er."
The eldest lady said angrily, sometimes, anger can blind people's eyes. The eldest lady has no discernment at all now. There is obviously a reason for her master to be so respectful to Mo Hai, but she insists on taking revenge, which makes the town
The Duke was very embarrassed.
"Shut up, Heng'er deserves to die."
Liu Zhen was afraid of angering Mo Hai, so he slapped the lady directly to the ground.
"Master, why do you want to hit me?
Did I say it wrong?
He killed our son, should we swallow his anger?
Are we still afraid of him?"
The eldest lady was half lying on the ground, crying with tears.
"Because you deserve to be beaten. Heng'er molested other girls in the street. He is really a scum. I, Liu Zhen, have a great reputation all my life. How could I have given birth to this beast? And you, Heng'er must have been pampered by you to become like this. You still have the nerve to say it now."
.”
Liu Zhen snorted coldly.
The eldest lady was a little dumbfounded now. Why did the master turn his back on me tonight?
But no matter how impulsive the eldest lady is, she has calmed down now. Something is wrong tonight, sir.
I'm afraid only Mei Qing, Liu Waner and her daughter were the only ones present who knew what was going on.
"Wan'er, go and arrange a guest room for Mr. Mo and take Mr. Mo to rest."
Liu Zhen ordered.
"Okay, Dad."
Liu Waner smiled and said that she also wanted to chat with Mo Hai. She originally thought she would never see Mo Hai again, but she didn't expect that Mo Hai would spend the night in her house tonight.
Liu Waner took Mo Hai to the guest room to rest. In the living room, only Liu Zhen and a few wives and sons were left.
"Master, who is this Mr. Mo?
Why are you so afraid of him?"
The second lady couldn't help but ask.
"Let me tell you something. King Zhao and the Crown Prince are dead, but His Majesty is no longer in serious trouble. There is no problem in living for a few more years. Tomorrow, His Majesty will abdicate and the second prince Fang Ru will ascend the throne as emperor. And all of this,
It’s all because of Mr. Mo.”
Liu Zhen said in a low voice.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Zhao, King Zhao, is he dead?"
Everyone is in disbelief.
"Just now in Yuntian Hall, in front of His Majesty, Mr. Mo killed King Zhao and the Crown Prince."
Liu Zhen said seriously.
Although everyone couldn't believe it, they also knew that the master would not joke about such a thing.
The eldest lady was completely calm at this moment.
"Master, I'm sorry just now, I was abrupt."
The eldest lady apologized tremblingly.
"Hmph, it's good to know. Mr. Mo even dared to kill the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao. Our lives are as low as ants in his eyes. But fortunately, Wan'er knows him and shouldn't cause trouble to our family."
Liu Zhen said with lingering fear.
"How come Wan'er got to know such an expert?"
Upon hearing this, the other ladies suddenly became jealous.
"Last time Wan'er went out to look for the elixir, she met Mr. Mo on the road. From now on, you should be more polite to Wan'er and Mei Qing. From now on, the honor or disgrace of our Liu family will all be in Wan'er's hands."
Liu Zhen said.
Although the other ladies were unwilling to give in, they had no choice. They were just a group of women who only ran rampant in their own backyards. In the past, they relied on the high status of their natal family to despise Mei Qing. Now, Mei Qing has an expert to back her up.
, it is useless no matter how much they are dissatisfied, they can only accept their fate.
"Okay, you all go back and have a rest. By the way, don't talk about it after you go back. Masters have very good ears. If you say anything to offend Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo will definitely hear it."
Liu Zhen warned in a deep voice.
In fact, Liu Zhen can rest assured about this. Mo Hai has no interest in eavesdropping on the discussions of some women. Even if they cursed behind their backs, Mo Hai would not listen.
