In early August, eunuch Zhang You and others who went to Jiangzhou to declare the decree returned to Kyoto with Yan Xu, who had been chopped into 'pieces' by thousands of swords.
The temperature soared along the way, and the 'shards' emitted a stench that was nauseating to smell.
Zhang You was miserable, but he had to take these 'residues' all the way back to Kyoto, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to interact with Mo Junyu.
Even though Mo Junyang gave a good argument, as Mo Junyu is the emperor and the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it is only a matter of one sentence to launch an attack.
Mo Junyu only heard that Yan Xu was not optimistic and was killed, so he was so angry that he kicked the person.
Zhang You hit a pillar and then fell heavily to the ground. He grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
On the other hand, Mo Junzhan couldn't stand it and said unhappily: "Brother, what are you doing? He didn't kill the person, so why are you venting your anger on him?"
A sneer fell on the corner of Mo Junyu's lips, he glanced sideways at Mo Junzhan, and asked meaningfully: "Then tell me, who killed him?"
"I..." Mo Junzhan was made uncomfortable by Mo Junyu's mocking smile, and he almost admitted it impulsively.
It was Qu Yue who quickly pulled Mo Junzhan's sleeve with her eyes and quick hands to stop him from making suicidal sounds.
Mo Junzhan swallowed his words reluctantly, avoided Mo Junyu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "How do I know? Didn't Prince Mo make it very clear in the letter? Yan Xu has done many evil things, and has a lot of people. If you don’t like him, it’s normal to torture him to death halfway.”
Of course Mo Junyu knew that this was the truth given to him by Mo Junyang, but precisely because he knew this, he was even more certain that there was something fishy in it.
Everyone present knew the truth.
If these remarks were made by Mo Junyang, Mo Junyu might still be angry, but he would not get entangled in this matter, but Mo Junyang was not there, and it was Mo Junzhan who came.
His potential threat.
Mo Junyu narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze fell on Qu Yuebai, and suddenly said: "Why didn't I know that Mr. Qu turned out to be my ninth brother?"
Qu Yuebai was temporarily dragged to the rescue by Shen Luo, probably because Shen Luo was a doctor and was not good at dealing with these intrigues. Moreover, Qu Yuebai and Mo Junyu had some acquaintance, and it was easier to talk.
But as soon as Mo Junyu opened his mouth, Qu Yuebai broke into a cold sweat.
He should have thought that Mo Junyu was seriously ill, and Mo Junyang would inevitably be suspected of saving his life.
Now that he was clearly helping Mo Junzhan control the situation, this person might have suspected that he was forming a clique for personal gain, and then put the blame on Mo Junyang.
Qu Yuebai swallowed and lowered his body to explain, "The prince has something to do and cannot report the results of his trip to Jiangzhou in person, so I specially ordered my subordinates to go to the palace with the Ninth Prince to meet the saint, and to confess to your majesty on the prince's behalf. Second, it would be better to explain the whole story clearly.
I also hope that Your Majesty, for the sake of the Crown Prince, will forgive the Crown Prince for his dereliction of duty. "
The words of apology were very beautiful, but Qu Yuebai didn't have much confidence in his heart.
I'm afraid that the new emperor in front of him will take the throne and burn all the past relationships. Then Mo Junyang may really have to take the blame this time.
After Qu Yuebai gave his explanation, Mo Junyu's gaze remained sharp. Qu Yuebai was frightened when he saw it. He almost thought he was going to suffer this time, but Mo Junyu suddenly fell silent.
"Okay, you all get out."
He passed the test so easily
Everyone was a little surprised, but even Mo Junzhan knew that the wisest thing to do at this time was to be obedient and go out - let the matter go.
But just as everyone retreated to the door, Mo Junyu spoke again: "Mr. Qu, stay."
Qu Yuebai paused and found that Mo Junzhan was looking at him worriedly, as if he wanted to say something. He shook his head at Mo Junzhan without leaving any trace, and the latter finally walked out calmly without speaking.
Only Mo Junyu and Qu Yuebai were left in the imperial study room.
Mo Junyu began to look at Qu Yuebai with that sharp gaze again, and remained silent for a long time.
After all, Qu Yuebai failed to cultivate the composure like Mo Junyang. Feeling Mo Junyu's gaze, his back felt like needles pricking him, and he almost couldn't help it.
Fortunately, Mo Junyu spoke: "I heard that Mr. Qu did not go with him on this trip to Jiangzhou?"
Qu Yuebai replied respectfully: "Yes, I have been staying in Kyoto."
"Kyoto is a good place." Mo Junyu sighed along with it, then suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Why does Mr. Naqu know so clearly what happened in Jiangzhou and what Yang Di is thinking? Is he back?"
Qu Yuebai's back was already covered with sweat, but his face was still tense, trying to maintain a calm posture, and replied: "I am worried about the prince, and I have written several times to inquire about Jiangzhou, just in case. All the princes confessed their needs frankly, so the ministers had some understanding of the affairs in Jiangzhou.
As for the Crown Prince, he has important matters to attend to, so he cannot come back for the time being. Please forgive me. "
"Important matters?" Mo Junyu sneered, "Does his so-called important matter mean disobedience?"
When Qu Yuebai heard the meaning behind this question, he immediately turned pale and hurriedly defended Mo Junyang: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. The prince is really..."
It is a fact that Mo Junyang resisted the decree. Let's not talk about the matter of killing Yan Xu. Just because he has not returned yet, he has already sent the clue to the other person's desk. Even if Qu Yuebai is eloquent, he can't explain it clearly. ah!
Listening to Qu Yuebai's stammering voice, Mo Junyu's smile became colder and colder, and he hummed lightly: "I think he was completely fascinated by Shi Liuniang and forgot his identity, right?"
Mo Junyu did not deny that Mo Junyang had played a great role in his succession to the throne. Without Mo Junyang, he would probably have died, let alone inherit the throne.
But Mo Junyang cared more about Shi Qingxue than he did - this matter would always stick in his throat like a fish bone, making it difficult for him to eat and sleep peacefully.
Before he had not become emperor, he could only hold back any dissatisfaction he had, but now he is already the Ninth Five Supreme Emperor. Why has Mo Junyang's attitude towards him not changed at all
Morendi said he was very upset.
If Qu Yuebai knew what Mo Junyu was thinking at this time, he would probably say: Don't be upset. Mo Junyang was not blinded by Shi Qingxue. He clearly gave his heart to that person. Don't even think about competing with Shi Qingxue!
However, saying such words only intensified the conflict. Qu Yuebai covered his mouth and said nothing, and respectfully consoled: "The Shi family has always been a pure minister beside His Majesty, and has no conflict with His Majesty's interests. This time..."
Because Mo Junyu did not mention clearly that he already knew that Mo Junyang had gone to the North, Qu Yuebai did not take the initiative to say anything. After taking him there vaguely, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is also thinking about the country and the country. Please forgive me."
This is indeed the case. Let’s not talk about Mo Junyang’s selfish motives for resisting and disrespecting the decree. Let’s just say that the result – eradicating Mo Junhao and maintaining the stability of Da Mo – is beneficial to everyone!
Mo Junyu had no reason not to be happy to see it happen.
Of course His Majesty the Emperor knew this, but precisely because he knew this, he became more and more depressed.
It was as if his anger was unreasonable, but if he was asked to ignore it, he felt so aggrieved and panicked that it really made him angry.
"Okay, okay, don't say sorry to the left, forgive me to the right." Mo Junyu finally gave up the topic and smiled at Qu Yuebai.
"After all, we have worked together for many years. Mr. Qu, don't be so polite to me! Just be like before!"
This is playing the emotional card.
Qu Yuebai knew it well, but his face showed no emotion at all. He followed Mo Junyu's words and responded: "That's the way it should be. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
The two chatted for a few more words, and when Mo Junyu saw that he couldn't get any more information out of it, he sent the person away with great mercy.
Qu Yuebai bowed and left, and when he left the imperial study, he saw his younger brother Qu Yuexuan waiting there.
Seeing him, she rushed to greet him, but Qu Yuebai shook his head at him first, and the two walked out of the palace gate in silence and got on the carriage.
Qu Yuexuan couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Has the emperor given you any trouble?"
Qu Yuebai smiled bitterly: "Things are just as Jun Yang expected. I'm just a little guy, how can he embarrass me?"
"But looking at your expression, it looks like you just fought in a battle?" Qu Yuexuan looked at his brother suspiciously.
"Even if it's okay, the process is still painful!" Qu Yuebai lamented.
Both of them are living ancestors. Even if they don't operate on him, any movement will be enough to frighten him!
Brother Qu said that his heart condition is very bad and he hopes he can suffer less like this in the future!
Qu Yue
Qu Yuebai angrily said, "Then if you have the ability, let him come back, or if you have the ability, go ahead!"
Every time something happened, he would have to clean up the mess, which made Brother Qu feel heartbroken.
Qu Yuexuan immediately withered.
Among the people raised by Mo Shizi, Qu Yuebai was the most tactful and good at handling various emergencies.
Qu Yuexuan habitually criticized his eldest brother verbally, but in fact he was very optimistic about Qu Yuebai's abilities.
"Is everything going to be fine now?" Qu Yuexuan asked awkwardly.
Qu Yuebai's face was still a little pale and weak. When he heard the question, his expression became a little depressed. "It's hard to say. Now that he has become the emperor, his thoughts are much deeper than before. He seems to be easy to talk to now. But who knows what he is thinking behind the scenes and what he will do?"
Mentioning Mo Junyu, Qu Yuebai's expression became more serious, staring at his lazy brother, warning word by word: "I was too lazy to tell you about the previous things, but you remember it now, no matter what, The prince is now the emperor, so we can no longer be as casual as before.
Especially you, your previous casual attitude will definitely not work. Please be more vigilant and don’t get caught. Do you hear me? "
It was rare that Qu Yuexuan didn't contradict Qu Yuebai. His expression on his face was still reluctant, and he still promised obediently: "I understand."
After thinking about it, he felt a little unwilling and added: "Only if he doesn't provoke me. If he really dares to do anything like burning down bridges, I'm not the kind of person who will swallow his anger!"
"you!"
Qu Yuebai was severely angered by Qu Yuexuan's stubbornness, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how else to reprimand him. He sighed slightly and said helplessly: "That's it!"
