Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang's return to Ruicheng was very stressful.
Especially with Mo Junyang's existence, except for relevant personnel, even the servants of Prince Rui's Mansion didn't know that their master was back.
Although Mo Xiangrui boasts that his Prince Rui's Mansion is as solid as an iron barrel and as impregnable as gold, this matter is of great importance. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst.
As for Shi Qingxue, the emperor is far away, so she is really not afraid that Mo Junyu will know that she has returned to Ruicheng safely.
Shi Qingxue consciously spread the news of his return, especially to everyone in the Shi family army.
Although she is not particularly good at leading troops in battle, she is actually the spiritual leader of the Shi family army.
Even though there were two generals, Qu Yuexuan and Wei Wei, at the front, there was no trouble in Shi's army, but their morale was still a little low.
Now that Shi Qingxue is back, everyone in the Shi family's army, from the general to the soldiers, is excited.
Shi Qingxue only needs to raise her arms and call, and tens of thousands of lions will listen to the command!
And this is exactly what Shi Qingxue wants.
As early as when they were still trapped in the Liang Kingdom, the two of them had consciously recruited troops and sufficient food and grass, waiting for the moment when they entered Kyoto in the future.
Now that they are back, everything they need to prepare is almost ready.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Back then, Mo Junyang sent troops from Ruicheng and fought all the way to Kyoto, almost forging his path to imperial power with the blood of the soldiers along the way.
As cruel as he is heroic.
After that, he was criticized by many capable people and people with lofty ideals, who believed that the new monarch was cruel and unkind and could not hold a big position.
It took Mo Junyang decades to calm down the chaos.
But he also left a reputation as a cruel king in the world.
However, that was because Mo Junyang didn't care about his reputation at all, and it didn't even matter whether Mo Country could prosper.
Today is different from the past. Mo Junyang now seeks revenge on Mo Junyu.
It was Mo Junyu who was unkind and unjust in the first place and then framed him unjustly, which forced them to rebel!
Shi Qingxue was absolutely unwilling to watch Mo Junyang take the blame for Mo Junyu.
So if the east wind doesn’t come, we can only wait.
After listening to Shi Qingxue's worries, Qu Yuebai smiled and said in a leisurely tone: "It's so easy for the Crown Princess to ask for the east wind. Now someone has sent the east wind spontaneously!"
Shi Qingxue blinked in confusion, "Who?"
Qu Yuebai smiled but said nothing, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shi Qingxue, then said: "You will understand everything after reading this letter."
At this time, in the imperial palace in Kyoto, Mo State.
Mo Junyu was sitting in the royal study, holding a memorial in his hand, with a cold and terrifying smile on his face.
He looked at Mo You, who was standing with his head lowered, and asked in a cold voice, "How are things going?"
Mo You replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. We just need to wait for His Majesty's order to proceed as planned."
Mo Junyu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work, cousin!"
Mo You responded humbly: "It is the duty of a humble minister to share your Majesty's worries, and I cannot bear the word 'hardship' from Your Majesty. It's just..."
Mo You had a rare hesitant look on his face.
Mo Junyu was in a good mood at this time and took the initiative to ask: "My cousin and I are our own people. If my cousin has anything to say, just say it!"
"Your Majesty, although the good family has great achievements, they are also the founders of the country after all, and they are also the mother-in-law of the queen and the queen mother. I'm afraid our move is a bit..." Mo You didn't say any more, but his worries were self-evident. .
In fact, Mo You has been dissatisfied with Liangjia for a long time.
They are just a bunch of worms from high-ranking families, especially the younger generation, relying on the reputation of the family to dominate and prosper.
In the past, Mo Junyang always had the upper hand in everything, and the good family would restrain their children, for fear that if they offended Mo Junyang, he would be punished.
Since Mo Junyang's "collaboration with the enemy and treason" disappeared, the good family has no control, and is like a dog that has let loose, biting anyone it catches without any scruples.
It often happened that they allowed their children to run rampant and dominate the market, rob women of the people, and bully the good and harm the loyal.
Not to mention going to court, even the entire Kyoto was made into a mess by them, and it was worse than before.
Mo You has long wanted to take care of the good family.
but!
The reason why the good family dares to be so arrogant is because they are Mo Junyu's biggest supporter, and they are the largest party force in the court.
If Mo Junyu rashly attacks Liangjia, I'm afraid this matter will go badly wrong.
Mo Junyu smiled coldly, "What are you afraid of! I can even deal with Mo Junyang, but I am afraid that he is just a good family. As for the queen's mother-in-law... who stipulated that the queen cannot be replaced by another?"
Mo You was startled and looked at Mo Junyu in confusion, "Your Majesty wants to depose the queen?"
Mo Junyu raised his lips coldly, "Why, no?"
“The queen manages the harem in an orderly manner and is quite prestigious in the harem of the previous dynasties. There are even good stories about the queen among the people.
Your Majesty has many opportunities to harm good families, but after deposing... I'm afraid it will arouse public anger! "
Mo You reminded her carefully, wondering who made Liang Zixin know how to behave. Even the common people praised her as a good queen, and her reputation was definitely the best among queens in the past.
I'm afraid it won't be that easy if I really want to be crippled!
Mo Junyu had a gloomy look on his face and said displeasedly: "How can I still destroy a woman who is so carefree and restless at home?"
Mo You looked helpless and said cautiously: "The queen does not abide by the rules of women and there are many criminals. Let alone abolition, even death is not an exaggeration. But does your majesty really want to tell the world about this reason?"
And then let the people all over the world know that the emperor was cuckolded
Mo Junyu heard the implication of Mo You's words, and his face suddenly became as dark as a storm. He slapped the table hard and shouted: "How presumptuous!"
Mo You immediately knelt on the ground and lowered his head in silence.
After Mo Junyu finished yelling, looking at Mo You's appearance, he immediately regretted it.
But he was the emperor, so he naturally couldn't apologize to a minister. He coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Okay, I know you are loyal to me. You don't need to say more about this matter, I have a sense of propriety!"
As he said that, he looked stern and shouted in a cold voice: "If we don't get rid of the good family, it will be difficult to solve my serious problem!"
Mo You hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "Tomorrow morning, more than a dozen ministers will jointly submit a letter listing dozens of evidence of the crime of the good family. Your Majesty only needs to hand over the case to Dali Temple for interrogation, and then everything will go smoothly. !”
Mo Junyu nodded and asked, "Are you sure that Dali Temple can enforce the law impartially?"
He is not worried that the Liang family's guilt is not proved true, but now that the Liang family is very powerful, Dali Temple does not dare to try him!
Mo You was quite confident about this, "Your Majesty, rest assured, if there is any department in the DPRK that does not have the influence of a good family, Dali Temple definitely ranks first."
When Dali Temple was under the jurisdiction of Mo Junyang, good people did not dare to put their hands in it.
Later, Mo Junyang "disappeared", and Dali Temple had already formed its own pattern, and it was too late for the good family to intervene even if they wanted to.
It's just that now that the people trained by Mo Junyang have to be used to clean up the good family, Mo You can't help but feel a little hot.
Mo Junyu didn't feel anything at all. He felt relieved knowing that Dali Temple was reliable.
Satisfied: "Then let everything go according to plan!"
But the two people who had a good discussion did not expect that they were scheming against others secretly, and others were also scheming behind their backs.
The next day, the Minister of War reported a request to commend King Jing Mo Junjing for leading the soldiers to kill the bandits.
At the same time, dozens of ministers seconded the proposal.
Mo Junyu looked at the ministers who were kneeling in darkness in the hall, and his face was darkened.
But what the ministers said was conclusive and well-founded. Mo Junyu had no reason to disagree with the ministers' request for a reward.
As a result, the issue of Mo Junjing's reward was discussed early in the morning, and there was no chance to bring up the matter of questioning the good family.
Originally, there was no chance to mention it in court today, so we could just wait until tomorrow.
But who would have thought that in the afternoon of that day, rumors spread among the people about how King Jing fought bravely to kill the enemy and ensured the peace of the country, but how the current emperor was ignorant and cruel and harmed Zhongliang.
In an instant, it swept the streets and alleys, and people spread the news by word of mouth.
By the time Mo Junyu found out about it, the rumor was already unbearable.
Mo You hurriedly approached Mo Junyu and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the good family must be behind this! They are deliberately slandering you to promote King Jing."
The intention is also very obvious, which is to support Mo Junjing to rise to power!
Mo Junyu interrupted Mo You impatiently and snorted: "Things have come to this point, how can I still not guess what the good family wants to do
What's the use of talking about this now! Think about how to solve the problem first! "
He paused for a moment, and Mo Junyu asked hesitantly: "If we list the evidence of the Liang family now, will we have any chance of winning?"
Mo You looked solemn, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not right! Our previous preparations may have been leaked, and now people outside are spreading rumors that Your Majesty has 'killed Zhongliang'.
At this juncture, even if the evidence of the good family's crime is conclusive and the death is more than justified, the good family will definitely complain in every way and put all the blame on His Majesty, making His Majesty the name of 'crueling loyal people'.
At that time, all the good family has to do is stand up as a victim and become an enemy of the imperial court in the name of King Jing... Although His Majesty has the military power in the world, the city defense army is actually within the control of the good family. If they suddenly rebel, Things got out of hand! "
Mo Junyu was so angry that smoke was rising from his head, and he said angrily: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Do you want me to watch them slander my reputation, and then help that weakling Lao Liu to get the upper hand?!"
Mo You calmly said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please be patient. If the good family can dominate public opinion, we can also control it. Anyway, the bad reputation of the good family has also spread among the people. We can take this as an opportunity to first Direct public opinion to our side.
Then he used the people's resentment towards the good family to make people think that His Majesty had to deal with the good family as a last resort.
In this way, Your Majesty not only has an answer to his ministers, but also wins a good reputation in the world! "
Mo Junyu was happy at first, and then said sadly: "But now the good family wants to support the sixth child! What should I do?"
"Prince Jing is weak and embarrassed in his great responsibilities. They just want to threaten His Majesty and let Him know that they have other options. As long as His Majesty shows them a little kindness, they will know who is the best emperor."
Although Mo Junyu was a little reluctant, he could only nod in agreement.
