Seeing Mo Junyu's fuss, Mo Junyang just shrugged and said calmly: "He ran away from my territory, so naturally I should catch him back."
Zongzheng Temple has always been Mo Junyang's power, and even if Mo Junyu wanted to intervene, he had to use Mo Junyang's name.
In Da Mo, Zongzheng Temple is responsible for royal matters. If it does not have independent power from the royal family, it cannot control the royal people at all. Therefore, although Mo Junyu secretly feels that Zongzheng Temple is a dangerous force, he has to follow the instructions of his ancestors. The tradition of Zongzheng Temple is preserved.
In other words, tolerate the existence of Zongzheng Temple.
Fortunately, Mo Junyu felt relieved about Mo Junyang, and he was not particularly worried about something going wrong in Zongzheng Temple.
When he heard Mo Junyang's almost impeccable and perfect reasons, he frowned slightly and didn't believe it.
But he didn't really refute Mo Junyang's words, and instead said: "I know that Yang Di has a good beginning and a good end, but for the Northern Expedition, I already have a candidate in mind, so there is no need to trouble Yang Di."
"Choice?" Mo Junyang frowned slightly.
He thought for a moment and said, "Shi family?"
Mo Junyu nodded, "I have sent someone to pass the decree to Duke Shi, asking him to lead the Shi family army to the north for me in the near future to defeat the traitor Mo Junhao. Brother Yang knows the skills of the Shi family army, and Duke Shi Guo and The Shi family army will never let us down."
If one had to say who Mo Junyang admired during the war, Shi Junhe was definitely the number one person.
Mo Junyang believed that based on his ability alone, it would not be a problem for Shi Junhe to lead the Shi family army.
However…
Mo Junyang's expression did not change and he still said: "I am willing to go to the Northern Expedition."
He used the word "wish", but Mo Junyu knew that he had to go to the North.
Mo Junyu felt faintly worried, and the gentle smile on his face faded.
He considered the words for a while before saying: "Brother Yang, I won't hide it from you. The reason why I don't want you to go to the North now is because I have another important task to entrust you, and at this time I still have to do it. It’s up to you.”
Mo Junyang paused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Yang must have heard about the sudden epidemic in Jiangzhou in the south. It was fine that it was controlled by the government at first, but recently the epidemic has become increasingly uncontrollable and is likely to spread to neighboring counties.
What's worse is that some people even spread rumors under the guise of the epidemic, saying that disasters are coming from heaven and are punishments from God. They are all lies to deceive the public, but there are always some ignorant people who believe in the sinister intentions of those people, which makes people panic. "
When Mo Junyu mentioned this matter, his face was full of irritation and depression.
He has just ascended the throne, and there are many people waiting for the opportunity to cause trouble for him.
Armed riots are okay, but at worst they can only be met with violence. Moreover, in the peaceful and prosperous times, there are very few people who are really willing to follow those gangsters and commit crimes, so it will not become a phenomenon.
But the behavior of those who subvert the country and the country under the guise of strange power and chaos is much more terrifying.
These actions shake people’s hearts!
People's support is related to the stability of the entire country.
It can't be changed simply with one soldier or one soldier.
Mo Junyu did not dare to take it lightly. He even thought about going to Jiangzhou in person to resolve the matter so that he could feel at ease.
But now that he is the emperor and has just ascended the throne, he certainly cannot go wherever he wants like before; moreover, those guys who can manipulate people's hearts with ghosts and gods are not economical. He really doesn't have the confidence to be able to make things happen. Perfectly solved.
To be honest, he believed in Mo Junyang more than himself in this aspect, and he had to admit that Mo Junyang was better than him.
Mo Junyang listened to Mo Junyu's words in silence and understood what the other party meant.
It's just that his expression was cold. Just from his face, Mo Junyu couldn't tell what he was thinking
Mo Junyu had no choice but to ask: "What do you think, Brother Yang?"
Mo Junyang: "Mo Guo has quite a lot of experience in treating the epidemic. If the Royal Hospital randomly sends two people to Jiangzhou, even if the epidemic cannot be completely eliminated, it will definitely be able to control the spread of the epidemic.
Once the epidemic is under control, if the government intervenes again, no matter what other people think, they will not be able to react. "
Mo Shizi's analysis was comprehensive, and he easily solved all the difficulties that Mo Junyu pointed out just now.
Mo Junyu seemed to feel the other party's ruthless 'taunting' - Is such a simple thing worth the trouble
"That's what I said..." Mo Junyu was unwilling to be blocked, and racked his brains to speak again: "This incident has caused such a bad impact. If Kyoto sends people there, what will happen to the people there?" What do you think? I have just ascended the throne and people’s hearts are unstable, but I can’t let such a trivial matter chill the hearts of the people. Don’t you think so?”
"Since it is to appease the people, then send a high official from the court, and the people will definitely buy it." Mo Junyang did not follow Mo Junyu's advice at all, and calmly pushed the matter back.
Mo Junyu was speechless: "..."
He finally saw it.
Mo Junyang just didn't want to go to Jiangzhou and was determined to go to Beidi.
But Mo Junyu will definitely not let Mo Junyang go north!
The other person is the person he trusts the most. He firmly believes that a good knife must be used on the edge. Besides, the North is so far away from Kyoto.
If Mo Junyang goes to the battlefield, God knows when he will be able to return to the court.
Mo Junyu was not willing to let his biggest help run that far. If he encountered any trouble, he would be unable to do anything.
He would not put himself in such an embarrassing situation, but Mo Junyang's attitude was there - he was not someone who could be easily persuaded.
How can this be done
His Majesty the Emperor expressed that he was a little upset.
Both of them fell silent, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to become depressed.
After a while, Mo Junyu struggled to find an excuse that was not a reason, "I have already passed on the decree and decided that the Duke of Shi will be the general who governs the country and will lead the Shi family's army in the Northern Expedition."
In other words, the decree has been issued, but the emperor’s golden words can’t be changed.
Then, Prince Mo, please feel aggrieved and obey the emperor's arrangements.
Mo Junyang's expression remained unchanged, "I would like to join Duke Shi in the Northern Expedition."
Mo Junyu: "..."
He felt that sooner or later he would be pissed off by Mo Junyang.
"Can't you just rely on me for once?" Mo Junyu asked weakly.
It's really cowardly to be an emperor for his sake.
Mo Junyu is not a temperless person. On the contrary, he has been in a high position all year round and is by no means an easy person to get along with.
That is, Mo Junyang, if it were anyone else, let's see how he would kill him.
But even Mo Junyang, due to emotions and reasons, Mo Junyu couldn't do it - of course, he might not succeed - which resulted in this embarrassing situation.
It's a pity that Mo Junyang didn't understand His Majesty the Emperor's good intentions at all. His face was paralyzed and he didn't say a single unnecessary word.
This silent resistance made Mo Junyu even more angry.
He couldn't help but ask in a threatening tone: "Are you really unwilling to go to Jiangzhou?"
Prince Mo probably finally sensed the emperor's concern, so he softened his attitude and said, "If your majesty is worried, I can ask Qu Yuebai to go south with the imperial envoy appointed by you."
But it was impossible for Mo Junyang to go to Jiangzhou in person.
Mo Junyang didn't say the next words, but how could Mo Junyu not understand what Mo Junyang meant.
Mo Junyu's expression changed rapidly, and finally settled into a kind of indifference about the approaching storm.
He said in a cold voice: "Since Prince Mo is determined not to go, then I have no choice but to send another good general."
Mo Junyang: "Your Majesty is wise."
The corners of Mo Junyu's lips raised slightly, "Then I will assign Wen Renchi to go there. Do you have any objections?"
Mo Junyang remained silent, obviously not very interested in who Mo Junyu sent to attack in the end.
Mo Junyu waited for a while and saw that Mo Junyang really didn't speak.
Then he reminded reluctantly: "I heard that Princess Baoning is pregnant recently, and the pregnancy is very dangerous. She is taking care of the pregnancy at home. Do you think General Wenren will have the intention to go to Jiangzhou?"
"Your Majesty is the emperor. Who dares to disobey orders and prohibitions?" Mo Junyang complimented.
But after he said this, it would be better not to say it.
The emperor thought with great sadness: Then why don't you listen to me
Mo Junyu thought that Mo Junyang didn't understand what he meant, and continued: "I heard that General Wenren recently asked the Ministry of War to take a long leave and requested to stay at home to take care of his wife. I saw that he was always diligent, so I granted him leave. But now that the country is in trouble, of course he won’t let it go unless someone is willing to take the initiative to take his place.”
Mo Junyang raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Junyu, his eyes cold and full of doubts.
He really didn't understand what Mo Junyu was thinking? You actually thought he would take the initiative to replace Wen Renchi
Mo Junyu smiled calmly, "I know you have no friendship with General Wenren, but..."
The emperor paused deliberately at this place, and then hinted in a meaningful tone: "But 'other people' are not necessarily, such as the lady of the Shi family..."
Then, Mo Junyu finally saw a trace of emotion appear on the dead man's face.
Condensed and severe, as if a storm is coming.
Mo Junyang cast his gaze on Mo Junyu, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a dangerous tone, "Are you threatening me?"
Not even the honorific is needed.
At this time, Prince Mo's body was filled with murderous aura, as if it could cut people's skin wherever he went.
In this hot summer day, it can send chills down your spine.
In the past, Mo Junyu must have apologized.
But at this time, he felt blocked in his heart, and he felt that he was already an emperor. Even if he made a mistake, it was someone else who should have coaxed him and followed him. How could an emperor apologize to his ministers
Mo Junyu gritted his teeth and endured it, raising his chin slightly as if he was declaring war with Mo Junyang.
For a moment, neither of them spoke anymore, and they looked at each other as if they were competing with each other.
The air around him seemed to solidify.
They didn't know how long the stalemate lasted until the eunuch Xiao Xizi ran over quickly.
Before Xiao Xizi could speak, she was so frightened by the weird atmosphere that her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground trembling, "I've seen, I've seen, the emperor..."
He was stammering and couldn't even understand a sentence.
Mo Junyu first looked away, but then doubled his anger and vented it on Xiao Xizi.
He scolded coldly: "If you can't even speak clearly, then there's no need to keep your tongue."
