Mo Junyang has been running his own power for many years and has definitely formed a force that cannot be underestimated.
That is to say, he has no intention of taking the throne, otherwise there is no telling who will control this kingdom in the end!
If he wanted to find out what happened in Jiangzhou - which Mo Junyu had been trying to hide - it was only a matter of time.
Ten days later, he had received the news.
It turns out that the Jiangzhou epidemic and the Jiangzhou epidemic are far from being just a 'plague'.
Heavy rains and severe flooding in Jiangzhou in June flooded almost half of the city of Jiangzhou. However, the local government took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and had no time to pay attention to remote areas. They swallowed up all the relief food sent by the court. Not only did they not resettle the victims, Instead, the victims were driven out of the jurisdiction.
As for where the rampant plague started and how it spread, even the servants who reported it couldn't tell. They only said that the local environment was very complicated, and I'm afraid even the local people couldn't tell what was going on.
After hearing this, Shi Qingxue's expression became solemn, "Then the emperor also sent us to Jiangzhou, I'm afraid it's not just to treat the epidemic."
Mo Junyang nodded and said nothing, obviously reaching a consensus with Shi Qingxue on this point.
Both of them were silent for a while. The news brought back from Jiangzhou did not make their eyes clear, but instead expanded their doubts.
The officials in the Jiangzhou area who embezzled the disaster relief items must have a guilty conscience, and they would not have much favorable impressions of the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court.
At the least, it can be done in a perfunctory manner; at worst, it can be obstructed in every possible way, and it may even endanger people's lives.
Shi Qingxue almost didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Qu Yuebai's face didn't look good at this time, and he took the initiative to ask Ying: "If you let me take people to Jiangzhou to find out the truth, and when the truth is found out, you come back, and you don't have to know anything and be taken advantage of. "
Mo Junyang thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, I have been dragging this matter out for ten days. The Emperor will definitely not allow us to drag it out any longer."
No matter how talented Qu Yuebai is, the journey back and forth from Jiangzhou will take ten days. If he really wants to wait for Qu Yuebai to find out the truth, it will take half a month.
Qu Yuebai also understood this truth and couldn't help but said angrily: "Tsk, the emperor is really friendly. He said he trusted you, but when he asked you to die, he was not vague at all!"
This is a complete slander of the king. If someone with a heart hears it, it will definitely be a serious crime of beheading.
But Mo Junyang boasted that Mu Xueyuan had been trained by him to become an iron-clad wall. He was not worried about the news leaking out. He just glanced at Qu Yuebai and said nothing to him.
He just said: "Anyway, you make arrangements first, and Qingxue and I will set off the day after tomorrow."
"I want to go too." Qu Yuebai was worried that Mo Junyang would be in trouble alone and insisted on following him.
Mo Junyang refused without thinking, "You can stay in the palace and come with me at midnight."
Qu Yuebai saw that Mo Junyang had made up his mind and knew that the other party would not give him any room to change his mind, but he was still worried!
He turned to look at Shi Qingxue and persuaded in a soft voice: "Liu Niang just heard about the situation in Jiangzhou now. If you go there now, your eyes will be black. Why don't you take us with you?" , I still have some abilities, and more people are more powerful..."
These words can be regarded as saving the country through curves.
If you want to take advantage of Shi Qingxue's influence on Mo Junyang, to put it more seriously, you are using Shi Qingxue to blackmail Mo Junyang.
It was almost the same as Mo Junyu's previous behavior in the study room.
The only clever thing about Qu Yuebai was to say these words frankly in front of Mo Junyang.
Even if it is a calculation, it will not make people disgusted, but it will make people feel his helplessness and loyalty.
But Qingxue was even more helpless than him!
She had a very good impression of Qu Yuebai, and since it was rare for him to ask for help from her, she naturally didn't want to refute his reputation.
But…
Even if Mo Junyang's current words are not gold-plated words, they still have weight.
He had just said that he would not let Qu Yuebai follow him, but Qingxue immediately changed his mind as soon as he begged.
That means changing orders overnight, where will Prince Mo's face go
Shi Qingxue glanced at Qu Yuebai sympathetically and refused Qu Yuebai's request.
She still cares more about Mo Junyang's face than this.
Moreover, the trip to Jiangzhou may be dangerous, but there is no reason to stop moving forward because of the danger, or to look forward and backward.
Shi Qingxue saw that Qu Yuebai's face was a bit ugly, and tried to comfort him: "Mr. Qu, maybe you don't know what Jun Yang is capable of. He is smarter than any of us, and now he knows that Jiangzhou water is very... Shen, he will definitely be more careful. Don’t you still believe in his ability
Besides, you are the person Jun Yang trusts most. He must entrust you with important tasks if he keeps you in Kyoto. This is definitely something that cannot be done without you. Why should you, sir, insist on where to perform your duties? "
With these words, Qu Yuebai was well complimented.
It not only shows the fact that Mo Junyang will definitely not take risks rashly, but also shows the reason for the master's arrangement.
Know it with emotion, move it with reason.
Even if Qu Yuebai is a stubborn donkey, he still needs to be persuaded.
What's more, he is a reasonable person, and he didn't think about it just now. He just thought that following Mo Junyang would not put the other party in danger.
But now that I think about it, such an idea is somewhat ridiculous.
Qu Yuebai is a civil servant with a sharp tongue, but he is good at literature but not in martial arts. He may not be as good as Mo Junyang in terms of strategy. If he really follows him, will Mo Junyang be required to block the knife for him at critical moments
He suddenly felt ashamed, and at the same time he couldn't help but look at Shi Qingxue a few more times.
Qu Yuebai is no stranger to Shi Qingxue at all - when his master's stalking habit broke out in the past, he was the one who arranged to record Shi Qingxue's words and deeds - he had also experienced Shi Qingxue's impression before. went through a series of changes.
It roughly looks like this:
Vase—a beautiful and lovely vase—a vase that is always troublesome but very lovable—the only vase the master wants…
The reasons for this change are not complicated.
When Qu Yuebai saw that his master had gone to great lengths to get into trouble for a woman, he naturally made some slight remarks. However, he put Mo Junyang first in everything, and even his so-called 'little words' could not match Mo Junyang's liking.
In the final analysis, he only regarded Shi Qingxue as a subordinate of Mo Junyang, a woman from beginning to end.
Using a vase to describe it is perfect. As for other adjectives, it all depends on Mo Junyang's attitude.
But now, he finally began to look squarely at Shi Qingxue.
This woman has a delicate mind and a lotus-like tongue.
He must have seen the intention of taking advantage of him just now, but he was not angry. Instead, he explained to him in a gentle voice, avoiding the facts that could embarrass him, and explained the truth, making him suddenly realize.
Qu Yuebai thought he couldn't do this skill anyway.
Not to mention Shi Qingxue’s good intentions for them! As Qu Yuebai thought about it, his eyes became more eager when he looked at Shi Qingxue.
However, before he could say anything, Mo Junyang stood between the two of them, his tall body blocking Qu Yuebai's sight.
"you can go now!"
Loyal? Qu Yuebai: "..."
fall!
He just wanted to express his admiration and had no idea of attacking Shi Qingxue, okay
Does Mo Junyang need to be so tight on guard
If you are really worried, why not find a cage and put Shi Qingxue in it so that no one else can see it!
Qu Yuebai thought angrily, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
He was afraid that if he revealed it, Mo Shizi, who acted unconventionally, was really attracted to 'imprisoned love'...
Qu Yuebai was aroused by his own imagination and had goosebumps all over his body. He didn't want to pay attention to Mo Junyang's jealousy, so he turned around and left.
Shi Qingxue didn't notice the little actions of the two grown men, and thought Qu Yuebai was angry at her words, so she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She asked Mo Junyang anxiously: "Did I say the wrong thing?"
Mo Junyang turned around, with tenderness between his eyebrows, "Of course not."
Shi Qingxue looked at him suspiciously.
"He is smarter than any of us..." Mo Junyang suddenly repeated what Shi Qingxue had just said to persuade Qu Yuebai, making Shi Qingxue blush with embarrassment.
Shi Liuniang's original intention was just to reassure Qu Yuebai, so she said it without thinking, but now that Mo Junyang said it, what she just said... was no different from a confession, right? !
However, Mo Junyang didn't seem to notice her shyness and said with emotion, "I didn't know you thought so highly of me..."
She lowered her head like an ostrich and whispered: "You are smarter than us all."
What she just said was from her heart. She didn't expect that she would be teased by a man. If she had known it, she wouldn't have said it!
Shi Qingxue was a little angry and simply turned around and ignored Mo Junyang.
But Mo Junyang was very happy when he found out that his beloved thought so highly of him. How could he allow Shi Qingxue to escape.
Without saying a word, Shi Qingxue hugged Shi Qingxue from behind. Their breaths were so close that no words could be spoken.
Mo Junyang hugged his big baby tightly, his voice hoarse, "Qingxue, Qingxue, I'm just... very happy."
Shi Qingxue's face felt hot, and her ears were red from the heat.
She wanted to scratch it, but felt that such an action was even more revealing.
After thinking about it, she thought to herself: Anyway, they are already connected, so what if they keep it secretive anymore
Then he suppressed his shyness and said in a low voice: "That's fine if you're happy."
After saying that, she felt really uncomfortable, and after a while she shyly withdrew from Mo Junyang's arms.
Qingxue tried her best to put on a serious expression and asked: "We are going to Jiangzhou soon, so let's discuss this trip first! Don't delay the business!"
Mo Junyang couldn't tell that Shi Qingxue wanted to change the topic, but he always doted on his fiancée. Not only did he not expose it, he also accepted the conversation naturally: "Okay, let's discuss the itinerary. What do you think?"
Shi Qingxue's eyes lit up, they were as bright as stars, and her voice was clear and sweet, "Either you don't do this trip to Jiangzhou, or you do it beautifully."
Mo Junyang looked straight at Shi Qingxue's vivid face and agreed in a good mood, "Okay."
