"Your Majesty, I think that Marquis Moyu is too powerful to threaten the imperial power, so he must reduce it." Fan Tianxing knelt down at his highness, and said word by word: "The king of Changjun, Miansheng, has also revealed his ambition. Something must be done. If Marquis Mo Yu turns his back on him, His Majesty will be in a very disadvantageous position."
In the Palace of Qinzheng, the new emperor was sitting in a wheelchair, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face: "Marquis Moyu is loyal to the country, do you want me to abandon him?"
"I can't even talk about abandoning the word." Fan Tianxing sighed: "If your Majesty can fully grasp this person, then it will be fine."
If you can't fully grasp it, then the knife will be turned on you, which is no fun.
Zhao Li responded indifferently, Ning Yuxuan was responsible for this ancestor worship ceremony, and he originally wanted to give him a reward, but confidantes like Fan Tianxing kept saying that they would punish Ning Yuxuan Be prepared.
The Nie family fell before his eyes, and that person didn't show any emotion. On the contrary, he continued to help him stabilize the country. Zhao Li had gradually let go of his guard against him. As for the eldest brother, when he is strong enough to raise troops, his throne is already unbreakable, so why worry
I thought so at first, but the servant beside me suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Princess Kang Yuan please see me."
Kang Yuan was his most beloved cousin, and she was also the one who silently supported him, that's why he married her to Ning Mingjie. Ning Mingjie, as the current general of Zhenyuan, held the military power in his hand, so naturally he had to win her over.
"Please come in, princess."
Kang Yuan came with the painting scroll, without saying a word, he just showed the painting to the new emperor first.
A picture of a happy family, judging from the ink and paper, it should have been drawn only a few months ago.
"It was obtained by accident in Marquis Moyu's Mansion." Princess Kang Yuan said, "Kang Yuan has seen the woman in the painting above in Jingzhou."
Zhao Li straightened his body slightly.
Since Qi Siling was divorced, he has not interfered with the affairs of the Hou's mansion. At first glance, the people in this painting are still in a daze.
"Nie Sangyu?"
"General Zhenyuan often pronounced this name when he dreamed back at midnight recently." Kang Yuan looked at Zhao Li and said, "This person is in Jingzhou and has many contacts with the general. If I hadn't stopped him, he would probably have been led by the general." I came back and set up my aunt."
Zhao Li looked at the painting seriously for a long time: "Are you sure you saw the right person?"
"No." Kang Yuan shook his head seriously.
Zhao Li touched the child on the painting and said softly, "Go back first."
"Yes." Princess Kang Yuan glanced at Zhao Li with some reluctance. Reluctantly, there were still courtiers present, so she had no choice but to back down.
"Where did the child that Qian Lianxue exchanged go?" Zhao Li looked at Fan Tianxing and asked.
Fan Tianxing clasped his hands and said, "It was originally the eldest prince who escorted him away, but something happened in the middle. In the end, the child disappeared, and there was no news from the eldest prince."
Mo Yuhou shouldn't have heirs, and those who have heirs will inevitably be restrained. Zhao Li sighed, but it was a pity that Qian Lianxue lost to Nie Sangyu, so he had to give up this most useful pawn, otherwise, the Hou Mansion would not have a single child.
"Go and investigate for me, and you must find that child for me." Zhao Li looked at Fan Tianxing and said.
"Yes." Fan Tianxing agreed.
Looking at the painting again, Zhao Li pursed his lips slightly. I hope it's not what he thought, otherwise, Ning Yuxuan is too scary.
…
Ji Man is always a little restless today, she taught me to speak idioms very carefully, but she lost her mind.
"A promise is worth a thousand gold, a promise is worth thousands of gold." He shook his head and said, wearing a hat on his head today, it was the blessing hat newly embroidered by the embroiderer, which made him look even more radiant.
After reciting the finished words, he turned his head and saw that the master was shaking his head. He was very unhappy, and climbed onto Jiman's lap with his little butt pouted: "Master, master!"
"What?" Ji Man came back to his senses, and saw Xiao Budian sitting in his arms, and said solemnly: "Master, do you think about it every day?"
Ji Man chuckled: "Thinking every day is not used in this way, the master is thinking, if you are so cute, what would be better rewards later."
She was so happy, she shook her calf and said, "I want to hear my master tell stories."
"Okay, Master will tell you about "The King's New Clothes" later." Ji Man patted his head, and was about to lift him up to drink, but he heard the servant girl shout: "Master Ji, madam, please past."
Liu Hanyun? What are you going to do again? Ji Man frowned slightly, and really wanted to tell her that she was in class and didn't have time, but thinking about it, Mo Yuhou was called into the palace by the emperor today, and the strong dragon will not overwhelm the snake, so he will honestly leave it to the servant girl to take care of him, and go by himself Ling Han Courtyard.
Liu Hanyun served tea and asked him to sit down with no expression on his face.
"Xi'er should be at the age to start class." Liu Hanyun said, "This time I invite Master to see if I can teach with Xi'er."
Xi'er hid in the partition, looking outside without saying a word.
Ji Man smiled and said: "Young Master Xi wants to attend class, so he has to discuss it with Lord Hou. I have no control over this."
"Isn't Master Hou not here? That's why I want to discuss with you." Liu Hanyun asked slowly: "Master, you don't want to teach?"
"Don't dare." Ji Man cupped her hands, although she really didn't want to teach, she only had time to do other things after teaching well. It's too tiring to teach two, and it's not that the Hou Mansion can't afford to hire two masters.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hanyun seemed to want to have a long talk with her, and had no intention of letting her go at all. Ji Man tried to leave with an excuse several times, but she blocked her.
What is she doing here? Ji Man gradually couldn't bear it anymore, Liu Hanyun had nothing to say to her now, why did he refuse to let her go
"I'm going back to take care of the prince." Ji Man stood up for the fifth time.
Liu Hanyun still wanted to block it, but Ji Man ignored it and rushed out.
"Stop her for me!" Liu Hanyun's expression changed: "You want to leave before you finish speaking, and you don't take me seriously."
Ji Man is really panicking now, Mo Yuhou is not here, and she is trapped here and not allowed to leave, there is only one purpose.
well.
"Get out of the way!" Ji Man didn't know where he got the strength to push away the two servants who were blocking him, and ran desperately towards Beiyuan.
The servant quickly caught up behind him, and Ji Man staggered forward.
I hope she is thinking too much, how could something happen, unless these people are desperate, that is Mo Yuhou's heart.
He gritted his teeth and ran to the garden just now, Haohao had already disappeared, only the maid from just now was still standing there, quite at a loss. Seeing her coming, he said: "Master, the prince was picked up by the people in the palace."
People in the palace? Ji Man was dumbfounded, thought about it, could it be that Mo Yuhou missed him in the palace, so he went to play
It's impossible to think about it, except for the emperor, no one can take the son into the palace so suddenly.
Several servants chased after them, and seeing that there was nothing wrong here, they all said with a smile on their faces: "Master, why do you run so fast, the younger ones just want Master to sit down for a while."
Ji Man sneered, turned around and went to Steward Qian for a horse.
Ning Yuxuan was summoned by the new emperor, but he played chess leisurely.
"I have already discussed with all my lovers, Yuxuan, you have made great contributions to the country, so you will add one hundred shi to your salary every year." Zhao Li smiled and said, "Are you satisfied?"
As expected, if the new emperor still increases his power, he will not be comfortable with himself. Ning Yuxuan smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Zhao Li waved his hand: "The only person I can rely on in this court is you. I only hope that you will not disappoint my expectations."
Ning Yuxuan nodded: "I will continue to serve His Majesty."
The imperial garden was very quiet, Zhao Li looked at the calm expression of the man opposite, and suddenly asked him: "Does Aiqing still miss his wife?"
Ning Yuxuan was taken aback: "Why did Your Majesty bring this up?"
Zhao Li smiled and said: "Yu Xuan's heart has never been exposed to anyone, I think you should still miss your wife the most."
Frowning, Mo Yuhou glanced at the expression of the new emperor, feeling a little uneasy in his heart: "Why, Mrs. Nie is dead, and I have never had much affection for her."
"Really?" Zhao Li's expression suddenly turned cold, which made Ning Yuxuan's heart skip a beat.
A few women came from the other side of the imperial garden, probably maids of honor, but one of them looked very out of place, looked around, and shouted in amazement: "This garden is really big!"
The quiet Imperial Garden was broken by this sound, and the chess piece in Ning Yuxuan's hand rolled down to the ground because he couldn't hold it firmly.
"Who lives in such a nice place?" Xia asked bluffing, "It's even better than when I stayed in the Marquis's Mansion before!"
Ning Yuxuan's face finally turned pale.
Zhao Li smiled lightly, and tapped the black stones on the chessboard: "Aiqing is so powerful that she has fooled everyone."
"Your Majesty." Mo Yuhou pursed his lips and said with a stiff face, "There must be some misunderstanding."
"It's okay, I can listen to Aiqing's explanation slowly." Zhao Li said with a smile: "By the way, I brought your eldest son into the palace as well. He is really smart and cute. I plan to reward him and let him stay in the palace to accompany the queen, what does Ai Qing think?"
"Your Majesty!" Ning Yuxuan frowned.
Zhao Li turned the wheelchair, looked at the blooming flowers outside and said, "Aiqing is someone who is going to do great things, so naturally she can't have weaknesses. The Empress will take good care of Aiqing. Can Aiqing not trust me?"
Ning Yuxuan was slightly angry, and after suppressing it for a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand from the stone table: "I like to take care of my own children."
"That's not your child alone, isn't his mother still alive?" Zhao Li smiled: "I am in the middle of employing people, and I am very reluctant to part with Ai Qing, so don't make things difficult for me."
Ning Yuxuan took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, but couldn't find any rebuttal.
Xindi is showing him a concession, and is also further wooing him. It's just that he finds it unbelievable, how did the emperor know about the matter with Ji Man? !
