Just when Mo Junyu and Qu Yuebai were feeling depressed about not being able to rip off Mo Junjiu happily, Mo Junyang cast a sidelong glance at them.
He said calmly: "You can have as much of that thing as you want, what? You still want it?"
The two nodded like garlic.
Mo Junyang raised his lips and smiled, looking at Mo Junyu half-smilingly, "But it's me that Mo Junyang has made an appointment with for a long time. Does your Highness plan to keep the appointment for me?"
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Mo Junyang is helping the prince, but if Mo Junyu really steps out, it will be a feud between brothers, which is absolutely not allowed.
Naturally, Mo Junyu would not do such a stupid thing, and immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Why should you and I be so clear-cut? Besides, you handled this matter single-handedly, so you can't take credit from your subordinates. ah!"
"Then what does His Highness want?" Mo Junyang asked directly without trying to talk to Mo Junyu.
Mo Junyu responded: "As soon as Zhao Ming dies, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be vacant. I'm afraid many people are coveting this position. Does Yang Di have any ideas?"
Mo Junyang was silent for a moment and said, "Zongquan, Minister of Household Affairs, what do you think, Your Highness?"
"Zongquan?" Mo Junyu frowned when he heard the name was unfamiliar at first, "This person has always been unknown and has no connections. Wouldn't it be a waste to push him to the head of the household department?"
The more important thing is that Mo Junyu is worried that Zongquan, who seems to be disloyal and selfish, is one of Mo Junjiu or Mo Junhao. If he pushes someone up, wouldn't he be marrying someone else
"Zongquan is over fifty years old, but he has always been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is because he is loyal and honest, a bit old-fashioned and pedantic, and does not know how to please people." Mo Junyang introduced Zongquan's resume in a calm tone.
Mo Junyu has always liked smooth and sophisticated people - such people are highly available and easy to buy, and can only be used in a decisive way - when he heard Mo Junyang's introduction, his brows furrowed even deeper, "How can you raise such a person well?"
The most troublesome thing for a pedantic and old-fashioned person is that he accepts death. No matter how great the benefits you give him, it is still not worth the path he originally decided on. How can he talk about bribery
Mo Junyang sneered: "Your Highness, have you forgotten your identity?"
Mo Junyu was stunned.
Mo Junyang looked far away, and after a while he said leisurely: "You have been busy doing so many things, have you forgotten your original intention? Or maybe because of the methods of other brothers, you don't remember your biggest What are the advantages
Your Highness, you are the crown prince, the legitimate crown prince of a country. As long as you are not wrong, not even the emperor can easily depose you. So you don't have to rush to win over your own power. Just one identity is enough for many people to pledge their loyalty to you. Why do you put the cart before the horse and lose your magnanimity? "
Mo Junyu was silent, feeling a heavy blow somewhere in his heart, which was extremely shocking.
He suddenly remembered what Mo Junyang had said to him before, and couldn't help but ask again: "What about you? Why are you willing to follow Gu?"
In fact, when Mo Junyu was dying, lonely and desperate, and even Queen Mother Ling Ruiyin had given up on him, he asked Mo Junyang, who came to save him, this question.
But now, Mo Junyang still looked at him, expressionless, but said loudly: "You are the crown prince and should be the emperor."
At that time, this fateful prophecy gave Mo Junyu infinite courage to fight against smallpox. Now he breathed a sigh of relief, covered up the complicated emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "I'm afraid everything will have to be left to Yang." Brother."
Mo Junyang just nodded to the other party, got up and left.
Qu Yuebai followed Mo Junyang until the two of them left the East Palace and were on the way back to Prince Rui's Mansion. He said in a deep voice: "The prince is smart, and the allusion of flying birds and hiding their good bows should be familiar to them. I'm afraid some things still need to be done." It’s better to plan ahead.”
Mo Junyang leaned on the soft armchair, smiled casually, and said calmly: "Are you worried about what His Highness will do to me?"
Qu Yuebai looked serious, "Although he killed the spy next to you this time, which shows his trust in you, it is unknown whether this spy was greedy for money or whether he was the spy he sent to you. The more frank he behaves, the more it shows that he has something secret in his heart, you can't even see this, right?"
"I can see it." Mo Junyang responded simply.
But before Qu Yuebai could breathe a sigh of relief, he said leisurely: "But he is just worried that I will defect to other princes. If he just wants to ensure this, I don't mind giving him this guarantee."
Qu Yuebai frowned slightly, and then asked: "What if he has other thoughts?"
Mo Junyang fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. When Qu Yuebai thought that he couldn't get the answer this time, Mo Junyang patted his shoulder lightly and said in an almost solemn tone: "Abai, I You won’t regret your choice.”
Qu Yuebai was stunned and looked at Mo Junyang in shock. He wanted to continue asking, but Mo Junyang had already opened the curtain and ordered outside: "If you don't go back to Prince Rui's Mansion, first go to Duke Shi's Mansion and wait." Let’s go to Xiangyue Tower in the evening.”
"Here!"
Since Shi Baojin was imprisoned, the Duke of Shi's palace has been in chaos, especially the third bedroom. Everyone is in danger, fearing that the Zhao family's affairs will implicate themselves - they are not as lucky as Shi Qingxue, who holds the alchemy book. Iron coupons are basically synonymous with invincibility - I didn't think about fishing out Shi Baojin for a while.
Especially after hearing that Shi Baojin was thrown out by Mo Junyang because he offended Shi Qingxue, Zhou Ruyu couldn't help but secretly blame Shi Baojin, "Please don't provoke Shi Qingxue if she has nothing to do." It’s not that I don’t listen, I insist on being serious with Shi Qingxue, now it’s okay, I have to pay for it, but what should I do?”
Shi Juncai snorted coldly: "She's not the good daughter you've been accustomed to! I heard from His Highness that Prince Rui is very grudge-y. Because of the relationship between the eldest son and us, I'm afraid that even we will hold a grudge, but your daughter still wants to do it again and again. If you run in front of Shi Qingxue and seek death, don’t you mean that your entire family will get hurt!”
Zhou Ruyu suddenly became unhappy. She put one hand on her hips and pointed at Shi Juncai with the other, and cursed: "It's as if Jin'er is not your daughter. How come you don't object when she usually fawns over Shi Qingxue in front of her mother? Do you think you're going to blame me when something happens? Shi Juncai, let me tell you, I'm not one of those cats and dogs you raise in your side house that you can let off your back. If you dare to bully me, I'll go back and tell daddy in the blink of an eye, do you believe it or not!"
Shi Juncai casually slapped Zhou Ruyu's hand away and sneered: "Do you still think that Wuyang Marquis is the first Marquis in Kyoto more than 20 years ago? Stop dreaming. Since your two brothers died in the battlefield, your Wuyang Marquis The mansion has been in decline for a long time, and Marquis Wuyang will just sit back and wait for death, oh, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to collect the corpse after death, who will let him have no descendants!"
"You!" Zhou Ruyu was so angry at the harsh words that he could hardly breathe. He threw himself on Shi Juncai, punched and kicked him, and cried and scolded: "Why did I marry such a heartless guy like you? You forgot that I was my eldest brother." If you don't want to help you navigate the officialdom, is it because my father opened your joints?" Shi Juncai gritted his teeth in pain, and was even more impatient with Zhou Ruyu's hot temper. He pulled her away and threw her to the ground, speaking rudely. , directly poking at Zhou Ruyu's sore spot, "Huh! Don't think that I don't know that the person you wanted to marry was my eldest brother. It's a pity that Dong Hui doesn't like you at all. He doesn't even want you as a concubine. It's your father who wants to marry you." After getting into the relationship with Duke Shi, I licked my face and found my mother before entering my room. As for that official position, that is what you are supposed to do. Why should I set up a memorial here with me now?"
Zhou Ruyu was so humiliated that her face turned pale and her whole body was trembling. She pointed at Shi Juncai tremblingly, but she was so angry that she couldn't utter a single word.
Shi Juncai was usually very angry under Zhou Ruyu's supervision, and now he was letting it all out. He was not afraid of offending others, and added fuel to the fire with some harsh words, which made him so angry that he even felt heartbroken.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?" Shi Baoyou saw such a scene as soon as he entered the room, and quickly helped Zhou Ruyu up and sit up.
When he saw Juncai, he was still angry with Zhou Ruyu. Her delicate little face was suddenly full of tears, and she begged: "Dad, as the saying goes, a couple's kindness will last a hundred days. Even if there is something about my mother that really dissatisfies you, please look at it." After she gives birth to children for you, for the sake of your second brother and daughter, don’t provoke her any more, okay?”
Shi Juncai's soft spot was suddenly poked, and he couldn't say any more curses. He hurriedly began to comfort Shi Baoyou, who was crying in tears, "You'er, don't cry. Daddy is just confused by your third sister's matter. Not intentional."
Tears of Beauty, Tomb of Heroes, not to mention that such a shy and frail beauty was Shi Juncai's daughter, so he couldn't lose his temper and admit his mistakes again and again.
Shi Baoyou's tears were wiped and she did not cry again. She only held Shi Juncai's hand and comforted her softly: "Dad, don't worry. In fact, there is no room for change in this matter. At least Zhao Shangshu's family is dead, but my sister is He is still alive and has not been sentenced to death, which shows that the Holy One does not intend to implicate our Duke Shiguo's mansion, maybe even the third sister can be saved!"
When Shi Juncai heard this, he was overjoyed at first, and then said with some dejection: "With the current status of the Duke of Shi, I certainly know that the Holy Emperor will not really do anything to us, but Prince Narui..."
Who knows if he would be careful to use them to please Shi Qingxue
"I heard that the Crown Prince Rui cares about the Sixth Sister, so as long as the Sixth Sister comes forward, the Crown Prince will not care too much." Shi Baoyou analyzed calmly, once again pulling Shi Juncai back from the abyss of disappointment.
Shi Juncai's eyes lit up again, and he excitedly took Shi Baoyou's hand and said, "That's right, you have been getting close to the people in Dafang recently, and if you deal with them, you will definitely be able to persuade Shi Qingxue. "
He was afraid that Shi Baoyou would be under pressure and not do good things, so he thoughtfully added: "Don't be under pressure either. It doesn't matter if you can't save your third sister. Just ask Prince Rui to let our family go!"
Shi Baoyou pursed his lips, his expression dimmed when he heard this, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and only heard her calmly agree: "I'll go talk to Sixth Sister right now."
When Baoyou walked to Luotong Pavilion, by coincidence, Shi Baoning and Shi Qingxue were both there.
Seeing the screen embroidered by Qingxue when the two were discussing happily, Shi Baoyou's originally anxious heart gained a little more confidence.
With the soft-hearted and kind-hearted Shi Baoning around, I'm afraid Shi Qingxue will be more impressed.
When Shi Qingxue saw Shi Baoyou, her smile became even wider. She stepped forward to take her hand affectionately, pointed at her craftsmanship, and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, look, how do I do with this screen?"
