At noon the next day, it was on Jin'an South Street in the capital.
"Military situation is urgent! Get out of the way!"
"All away!"
There was a mess of horseshoes, and the people evaded when they were shocked. Three horses flew past their eyes. In a flash, they disappeared and rushed towards the palace.
In the Jinluan Temple, Mo Yuming hurriedly arrived. Without waiting for the ministers to bow down, he walked to the dragon chair a few steps and raised his hand, saying: "Pass!"
"Biography! Xu Ze goes to the palace--"
"Border guard general Ma Lian's deputy Xu Ze knocked on the emperor! Long live the emperor!" A 30-year-old man dressed in scarlet uniform stepped into the hall and bowed to the main hall. His tone was unusually anxious.
"Flat body!"
"Xie Emperor!" Xu Ze got up, pulled out an emergency sealed official document from his sleeve, and raised his hands above his head. "The emperor, the Nanzhao state assembled a 300,000 army suddenly offended the situation. The situation is critical. General Ma led 200,000. A battle with the enemy on the Golden Sand Beach, due to the disparity between the numbers of the two sides, they have returned to the north. They have now retreated to Yunzhou City. The enemy has divided into three routes and marched towards Lingzhou and Anxian, the border of our country, threatening to equalize with the emperor. It is clear that the country is half of the country, General Ma ordered Xu Ze to travel day and night to report military information to the emperor, and ask the emperor to send reinforcements to defeat the enemy!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar above the golden palace!
Mo Yuming's face was sullen. Grandpa Li took the official document and submitted it, opened it and read it carefully. When he fell to the ground hard, there was a loud "pop!" loud noise, followed by Long Yan furious. "What an arrogant Nanzhao monarch! He dared to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries privately and openly violate the border of our country. He simply doesn't put me in the eyes!"
"The emperor, the subject is fighting, and Nanzhao has deceived people too much. In the past five years, small harassment has continued. This time it has become worse. I vowed to fight back the Nanzhao dog thief!"
"The emperor, the ministers are also the main battle! The top priority is to dispatch troops and generals, prepare food and grass, rectify the three armies, and select good generals to take command!"
"The emperor, the ministers are waiting for the main battle!"
A hundred civil and military officials knelt down one after another, and no one opposed it. In these years, under Mo Yuming's governance, Mingguo has made the country prosperous, the people strong, and the talents are abundant. Therefore, there is no reason not to fight for peace!
"Well, since all the princes are united with me, this battle is imminent!" Mo Yuming's full voice resounded in the hall, "Listen to the order, immediately, the Ministry of Households prepares 300,000 dan of grain and grass, and the Ministry of War mobilizes soldiers and horses Three hundred thousand, the fundraising will be completed within ten days, and the army will set off every day!"
The sharp eyes scanned the hall again, and Mo Yuming steadily continued: "For this battle, I want to go with you!"
Hearing this, Mandian was in an uproar again!
"The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, it is not trivial for the imperial driver to levy personally, the emperor think twice!"
"The emperor, don't take such a risk. If the emperor makes any mistakes, it will shake the country!"
"emperor!"
The ministers were very anxious, and knelt down one after another.
Mo Qilin stepped forward and said, "Father, please listen to the words of your son, our Ming State Marshal Lei Yue, He Zhixin and other generals can all serve the country, and the son urges his father to sit in the middle of the court. My son is willing to march with the army for Daming, defending his family and the country!"
Mo Qiyan also said: "Thanks to your father, and your children are willing to go to the border to help! Please father not personally!"
"Father, my son has been in charge of Songtai Camp for three years, and he has gone out to train for many times. My son is confident that he can go to battle to kill the enemy, and be a commander. Please be my father!" Mo Qiming took a step and knelt down and said earnestly. .
"enough!"
Mo Yuming curled his eyebrows and raised the volume, "This matter will be discussed tomorrow! The Ministry of War will do it right away! Retreat!"
"Chen waits to send the emperor to the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Half an hour later, in the Longyang Palace, Mo Yuming was getting bored, and the little eunuch came in to report, "I will tell the emperor, the three princes, see you!"
"Xuan!"
Leaning slightly, Mo Qiming came in and knelt down and said earnestly: "My father, my son, please ask me. I beg my father not to conquer himself. My son's father has passed away. Fortunately, my father loved him and raised his son in these years. By his side, the sons and ministers always wanted to repay the emperor’s nurturing grace. The sons were familiar with Nanzhao’s military, geographical environment, and humanities. If the father believed that the sons were not capable, General He had commanded the troops for many years. My Ming country has made countless contributions, and my sons and ministers are willing to share the worries for General He, his father, and Saji. Please let his sons and sons go on the expedition!"
"Ming'er!" Mo Yuming's face was moved, and he stretched out his hand to support Mo Qiming, and said: "I know you are filial, but none of your brothers have fought a battle. This battle is of great importance, and there is no room for slippage. If Lin I can think about whether you are going to Er or Yaner, but the Ling King only has you as a son, in case you... how can I confess to the dead brother!"
"Emperor father, my son should be a high school father to be loyal to the country, and filial piety to my father! The son will be fine. Please believe in the martial arts of the son, and the ability of the son. If the son of the son is unfortunately killed on the battlefield, If the father Wang Quanxia knows, he will also be happy for his children!" Mo Qiming said anxiously.
Mo Yuming groaned for a while and smiled with relief, "Ming'er, I will consider it. You will return to the Ministry of War and be responsible for the preparation of weapons, food and grass. Make preparations before the war. Let me think about it again."
"Yes, Erchen retire!"
At dusk, the butler hurried to the Xiangtanju.
"Master, something happened at the border! The slave just heard the people talk on the street, saying that Nanzhao suddenly assembled a large army to attack our border, and the two countries are about to officially start war!"
"What?" Mo Qihan was startled, stood up from the Limu lounger, frowned and said, "Is this military sentiment just sent to the capital?"
"It should be, I have never heard of it before." The butler replied.
Mo Qihan walked back and forth on the ground with his hands behind him, his brows furrowed, and the housekeeper stood aside and did not dare to disturb him. After waiting for a while, Mo Qihan suddenly turned around and said, "Sikong, this night king You have to go to the palace and see your father secretly. Keep your mind about the affairs of the palace. If you add guards to the water garden, the princess can't make any mistakes!"
"Master!" The butler raised his eyes in astonishment, his lips moved, and he lowered his head in a hurry, and replied sonorously: "Yes, the slave will guard outside the princess's room personally, and then the ten guards will be in secret. protection."
"Well, go down."
"Yes!"
Stepping out, staring at the plum trees in the courtyard, Mo Qihan's eyes are dark and deep, complex and deep, and on his calm face, he can't see any emotions or thoughts, but the big hands behind him are more and more serious. Tighten tighter.
"Mengqing, help me make a silver mask, hurry up!"
"Why?" Lin Mengqing just walked to the front and asked with surprise when he heard Mo Qihan's words.
"I will explain to you later, you don't need to make the whole face, you can cover most of the face." Mo Qihan said in a calm voice.
"Oh."
It was night, after the palace ban, a black shadow quietly crossed the palace wall with great light work, and headed towards Longyang Palace lightly.
Of course, Longyang Palace is the emperor Mo Yuming's bedroom, and the inner and outer halls are tightly guarded, and he can't see the emperor without disturbing any big inner guards.
Therefore, when this black shadow approached Longyang Palace, he first turned to a small palace courtyard behind Longyang Palace, skilfully avoided the eunuch guards standing guard in the courtyard, and turned into a dark room.
…
The inner room of the Longyang Palace bedroom.
"The emperor, the minion brought a man to see the emperor!" Li Dehou stepped forward gently, lifted the dragon tent, whispered in a low voice, then turned around and quickly turned back. An eunuch dressed up came in with an unfamiliar face. , Li Dehou lowered his head again, "The emperor, the minion is guarding outside, and will not let anyone approach here." After speaking, he hurriedly retreated.
Mo Yuming stared at the eunuch standing in front of him, his sharp eyes were stained with depth, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Mo Qihan raised his head completely, staring at Mo Yuming intently, then knelt down heavily and whispered, "Father!" Reached out his hand and slowly lifted the human skin mask on his face!
Mo Yuming's body and mind were shocked, and when the face that made him so familiar with his dreams was completely revealed, he shook his body and almost fell off the dragon bed!
"Father, be careful!"
Mo Qihan called out anxiously, and quickly got up to support Mo Yuming. Mo Yuming turned his stiff face, looking at the face that was close to him, his lips opened for a long time before gradually He said, "Han, Han'er, has your soul finally come to see your father? Father has been waiting for you for a long, long time... Your eldest brother has not seen me, will you not come?"
"Father, it's a son, a son... is still alive, not dead, it is the son who came to see the father!" Mo Qihan choked up his voice, but it was a man who had tears but couldn't help but couldn't help falling at this moment. After tears, he took Mo Yuming's hand lightly and pressed it to his face, "Father, touch it, it's a son, this is not a soul."
"Yes, there is temperature, it is a person, not a ghost, Han, Haner... Are you really Han'er? Didn't my Han'er die?" Mo Yuming's eyes flashed with tears, his excited speech was incoherent, his hands were both Putting it on Mo Qihan's face, he touched his face in disbelief, confirming that this face was real, it was his son's face.
Mo Qihan nodded constantly, "Yes, it's a child minister. The child minister is indeed still alive. He has not died of illness. The child minister has been pretending to be sick for several years. The corpse of the child minister that the emperor father saw on the seventh day of July is a fake. ."
"What? Pretending to be sick? Fake corpse? What's going on?" Mo Yuming was so shocked, his eyes glared at the boss.
"Yes, that corpse has a disfigured appearance of Erchen. Erchen has been living in Xiangtanju, the house where the father came and went in the middle of the night a few days ago. Erchen's men deceived you. Father, A lot of things have happened over the years. The son-in-law is really miserable, but the father can be happy that the son-in-law is in good health, not only has no illness, but he has also practiced peerless martial arts. This has to be talked about ten years ago..."
In the silent night, in the Longyang Palace, the palace lanterns have not been extinguished since the death of the two princes, because Mo Yuming often wakes up in his sleep, and when he wakes up to see the darkness, he will lose his temper. Therefore, tonight The constant light will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
The dragon tent has been put down, and the father and son are lying side by side on the dragon bed. Mo Yuming quietly listens to Mo Qihan's narration of everything that has happened in the past ten years, like clouds in the mist, and he can't believe it. , His nephew, whom he considers to have been raised by one hand, is such a jackal and tiger leopard!
"Father, the failure to save the eldest brother is the pain in the heart of the son-chen in this life. The son-chen can be regarded as having his life back. The master is so kind to the son-chen, if there is no master, the son-chen would have died long ago, but the eldest brother , Erchen..." Mo Qihan's throat was astringent, and he couldn't continue.
Mo Yuming hugged Mo Qihan's shoulders tightly, and tears were running. "Han'er, it's none of your business. It's God's kindness to save your life. You can only blame that for the death of your eldest brother." The beast is too cruel. The father can see that you are alive now. It really feels like a dream. Your body is completely healed. You have a good martial arts. The father is happy. He knows what the beast has done. The father is a cone. My heart hurts!"
"Father, my son came to see you tonight to find out the truth. Mo Qiming will avenge his revenge. What is the reason? My son is still unclear, but he must have the intention of seeking his father. Be prepared!" Mo Qihan said.
"Han'er, I never knew that you had such a meticulous mind. You have been hiding in front of me and the Manchu civil and military for these years. Looking at my son's current civil and martial arts, smart and wise, and knows how to power, I You can rest assured that Jiangshan will be handed over to you! Are you ready to be born here?" Mo Yuming said happily, wiping his tears.
"Father, the child minister has thought about it. It is not the time yet. The child minister has been paralyzing Mo Qiming. He just suspects that the child minister is not dead, but he is not sure. Moreover, Sang Fengning refused to betray the Lord and stand up to testify. Mo Qiming, besides, the eldest brother has passed away for three years and can no longer undergo an autopsy. Now we have to cure Mo Qiming’s sin. We don’t have direct evidence yet. This hastily resurrected, on the contrary, it will force Mo Qiming to cut the grass and remove the roots to prevent future troubles, son The minister is not afraid of him, but I am afraid he will attack the father, we can't take this risk!"
"In addition, does the emperor know that the general's letter of congratulation to the peace and Yanghou Bai Jingan was once the people of the Mausoleum King 20 years ago. They have long colluded with Mo Qiming and became the people who secretly supported Mo Qiming, Mo Qiming? The reason why Ming first poisoned the eldest brother was because the eldest brother was the prince, and then he poisoned the prince, because when the eldest brother died, the prince was the second prince. He wanted to clear all the stumbling blocks that caused him to reach the pinnacle of power. He was right. The second brother and the four of them didn't do anything, because the father didn't set up a prince again, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape his murderous hand!"
Hearing this, Mo Yuming was shocked again. After thinking about it, he said: "Han'er, your analysis is correct. I know that General He and Bai Jingan were once the tomb kings, but I never knew that there were This kind of thing! If you can't solve these two people first, it would be easy to win the beast, but He Zhixin will definitely rebel openly and accuse me of dealing with Mo Qiming with unnecessary charges. By then, the people will be trapped in water and fire. Chaos!"
"Yes, now the internal and external troubles, at least the Nanzhao Rebellion must be put down. The father has trusted the letter of congratulation too much these years. He has a 200,000 army in his hand, but he privately recruited troops for Mo Qiming. Now I’m afraid it’s more than 300,000! Besides the imperial court, Ping Yanghou, the foreign prince, controlled the officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Military Affairs. , His power is already overwhelming!" Mo Qihan said worriedly.
Mo Yuming sighed, "I blame me for not recognizing the true face of the evil man earlier, and constantly empowering him. Your second brother has a weak temperament. I have never dared to hand Dali Temple to him for fear of his indecision. Humanity, your fifth brother is okay, a bit more fierce than your second brother. I have let him take over Dali Temple. Chen'er and Yu'er, I plan to send them to Shajiangkou for military training, so that they can have more experience in the future. To help you."
"Father, the second brother is actually not as indifferent as the father saw. The children are in the dark, and they can see clearly that the second brother’s political ability and methods can be used. Father, what we have to do now is to first The situation in which Jing’an has been in charge of the government for many years has gradually become blank. Father, you have to take back the control of these confidential yamen step by step, and distribute them to the second, fifth, sixth and seventh brothers. Also, this time the battle can be. I can’t let He Zhixin look good!"
"This is natural. Today, the youngest is coming to ask me for an order and want to go out with He Zhixin! Now it seems that they really want to take this opportunity to dominate the military and political power. I can't do what he wants. The Royal Driver's Conquest!"
Mo Qihan was startled, and said in astonishment: "Is the emperor father going to the border to fight in person? This is not okay. Your son will come to you. One more thing is that the son wants to go, and the father ordered Marshal Lei Yue to be in command. As a general, my son is confident that he can defeat the Nanzhao Army, and use this to control these hundreds of thousands of military power to compete with He Zhixin!"
"Han'er, you are going to expedition? Didn't you say that you can't let people know that you are alive? How are you going?" Mo Yuming's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Father, you have to hand over the country to your princes. If your princes don’t have their own army and confidant generals, how can your princes sit firmly in the world? Therefore, the princes must go! Once they win, they will be the four kings The identity is resurrected, the world is shaking, and it must be the people's will. Who dares not accept it? How can He Zhixin dare to move? And the children can swallow him step by step, and finally take away the cancer of Mo Qiming! "
Mo Qihan's eyes flashed with confidence, and he smiled slightly, "How do you go? Doesn't the father have a gold medal guard? Don't they all wear masks and never show people with real looks? Your son is your secret. The head of Wei, instead of his father's grandson, will go on the expedition!"
"Huh? Han'er, how do you know this? My dark guard is very secretive!" Mo Yuming was shocked again.
Mo Qihan chuckled in embarrassment, "Father, the shadow organization of the children is also the source of intelligence, and all kinds of intelligence on the network of the children, I accidentally learned about the secret guard of the father."
"Han'er, don't you see, are you my son? Why do I never know you? I always thought that you were simple in mind and had no city. After your eldest brother went, he was worried with your mother and queen, you are like this. He’s temperament, and if he’s not in good health, he won’t be able to sit on the throne!” Mo Yuming clasped Mo Qihan's hands, both surprised and excited.
Mo Qihan was amused by Mo Yuming's novel expression, "Hehe, father, you can't pretend that you can't do it. Mo Qiming's scheming is too deep, and a slight flaw will be seen through him. If it weren't for so many years, son The minister died a long time ago! The scheming of the son-chen was forced out step by step by him, so he had to do this, otherwise, as the father said, without certain strategic means, it is impossible to control the civil and military of the Manchus. This is the end of the world. In the hands of the minister, sooner or later he will be pulled down."
"Han'er, after hearing you have said so much, I was full of shock. When I was sad and angry, seeing my son come back from the dead, I felt like I was born again. If your mother knew about it, she would die of joy. "Mo Yuming said with infinite emotion.
"Hehe, the father and the queen can tell the mother and the queen, or take the mother to see her secretly at the Fragrant Altar in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but he can’t bring Manman with him anymore. She’s here, so why won’t the children come out? "Mo Qihan said with a chuckle.
"Manman?" Mo Yuming stunned, his eyes flashed twice before he realized, "You mean girl Xueman?"
"Yes." Mo Qihan nodded with a smile, waiting to be cleaned up.
Sure enough, Mo Yuming's face turned dark, "Han'er, you are so intimate, have you already made up with this girl?"
"Well, yes, not only has the room been rounded, but also... been together at night, not during the day, because Manman still doesn't know that the son is her husband, and she has never seen the appearance of the son, so the father must not let him If she knows this, just leave her confused, and the child minister will tell her in person in the future, and ask the mother to not say anything, because the girl is too innocent and it is easy for Mo Qiming to talk out of her mouth." Mo Qi Hanjun blushed and explained a little embarrassingly.
"What?" Mo Yuming's eyes were about to fall off, "Son, you said you live in the same room with that girl every night? Did you get her to Xiangtanju? No one noticed it in the past six months?"
"Ahem, yeah, I have been living together, but not in Xiangtanju, but in the bedroom of Erchenjushuiyuan, just the one I live in now. There is a secret passage in that room, which can lead to Xiangtanju. Erchen is the master of the Four Kingdoms Palace, so naturally he has the ability to keep people from discovering it." Mo Qihan was a little embarrassed.
Mo Yuming's chest heaves up and down, and he sighs, "This dead girl, still pretends to me! One bite will ensure that you will stay the widow with all your heart, and the result is that you have long been secretly knotted with the human pups! What a pity! Shameless girl!"
"Father, since that person is also a child minister, don't be angry. In fact, it can't be regarded as a long mistake. Uh, on the seventh day of July, when she guarded the spirit, the child minister took her away. She couldn't resist and lost her life. Besides, you won’t forgive her, so... By the way, Mo Qiming is about to open the coffin, and there was a long riot saying that the son-chen spirit is back, that is all the son-chen teach her, and she lied to you to be the son-chen teacher too. Yes, if your father wants to be angry, he should be angry with his ministers." Mo Qihan said embarrassedly.
