Only then did Mo Ling realize that she had never really understood the person she had been sleeping with for two years. He always pretends to be ignorant on the surface, but in fact he is horribly scheming.
No wonder Queen Renzhao felt that she had no love in her life. It turned out that she had seen through him a long time ago. No wonder Xiao Yuchuan dared to resist the order and annihilate the Mo clan. It turned out that he had already seen the clues. Even her father sees things more clearly than she does.
She was the only one who naively thought that he would save her people. She had been immersed in the executioner's rhetoric and was moved by the deep love and justice he pretended!
Mo Ling's heart was filled with despair, and she suddenly felt that she was extremely ridiculous! She always thought that Emperor Xuanwu would establish diplomatic relations with the Mo Clan against all odds because he saw the sincerity of the Mo Clan and thought that he had convinced him and his true feelings for her!
Unexpectedly, not only did she follow in the footsteps of Queen Renzhao, but what was even more tragic was that she unknowingly became a sharp blade wielded by Emperor Xuanwu towards the Mo clan, indirectly killing her own people and her father.
If she hadn't yearned for the civilization of the Central Plains, listened to the slanders of those businessmen, and wanted to free the Mo tribe from the shackles of the grassland tribes, she would not have repeatedly advised her father to trade with Beiming. If not for the successful establishment of diplomatic relations with Beiming, how could she come to Beiming? If she hadn't fallen in love with Emperor Xuanwu, been blinded by his sweet words, and insisted on marrying him, how could she have put her father in a dilemma when the tribal alliance came to the city, and finally had to choose to believe in Beiming?
Love and hate are like ice and fire, eroding the bones and burning the heart.
Mo Ling was in agony. She held the jade harp that Emperor Xuanwu had given her and asked him in a hoarse voice: "This is all your plan, right? As early as the moment you gave me the harp, you have been You have already made up your mind to destroy our country! Your meticulous care and affection in the past two years are all just to use me to set up this trap! You really make me feel sick!"
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanwu did not get angry or refute. He looked at her with deep and complicated eyes for a long time and remained silent without speaking.
Emperor Xuanwu knew that from the moment Liu appeared, he could no longer hide it.
Back then, under the deliberate design of Emperor Xuanwu, he met Xiao Heng and made her fall deeply in love with him. He also took advantage of the Xiao family's reluctance to release military power and successfully married Xiao Heng, helping him ascend to the throne.
As the supporting ministers who supported Emperor Xuanwu's rise to power, and as the Queen's natal family, the Xiao family was at the height of its power and had a strong tendency to dominate.
Although Emperor Xuanwu has not canonized Rong Ming as the prince for a long time, he has great favor and trust in Xiao Heng and the Xiao family. He pushed Xiao Heng and the Xiao family to the highest position, with unlimited glory.
Human ambition is sometimes a double-edged sword. It can make you a strong person, but it can also destroy you inadvertently.
Xiao Yuchuan, who was so proud of the spring breeze, simply dismissed the truth that a big tree attracts the wind and is easy to break when it is too prosperous. Over the years, the Xiao family relied on the favor of the royal family and offended many people overtly and covertly. This was one of the reasons for the fall of Queen Renzhao.
Back then, the late Emperor Beiming and his ancestors tried every means to weaken the military power of the Xiao family, which was enough to prove the royal family's fear of the Xiao family. How could Emperor Xuanwu allow the Xiao family to become more powerful? The higher the Xiao family is praised, the more painful it will be when they fall.
Xiao Heng has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has a good physique. But why has his health deteriorated day by day since giving birth to Rong Ming? There are always endless conspiracies and schemes in the harem. Emperor Xuanwu didn't know which concubine was responsible for the chronic poison in Xiao Heng's body. He didn't need to know. He just wanted to keep the imperial doctor who consulted Xiao Heng secretive. , and then watched from a distance, watching the most noble peony flower flourish and decline.
Over the years, Emperor Xuanwu has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the "Seven Kills Piano Score", and accidentally learned that one of the volumes of the Piano Score was lost to the Mo clan. Beiming has lived adjacent to the Mo tribe for many years. Beiming has long had the idea of incorporating its territory into its own territory, but it has never had a reason to send troops. In addition, other tribes in the north have been ready to make moves, and the other three countries are eyeing it. If they rashly make peace with When the Mo clan goes to war, Beiming can't get any favors at all.
So he sent people disguised as merchants to the Mo Clan to explore the whereabouts of the piano score, and took this opportunity to show the advanced civilization and excellent material resources of the Central Plains to the Mo Clan, so that the Mo Clan, which was already lacking in resources, took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Beiming. , thoughts on mutual business and trade.
When the Mo clan sent envoys to Beiming, Emperor Xuanwu's goal was achieved.
——First, you can use the Black Ink Clan to obtain more information about the northern barbarians, which will be beneficial to confronting them in the future. Secondly, the northern barbarians have always wanted to invade the Central Plains. If the Mo clan established diplomatic relations with Beiming, they would have betrayed the entire grassland tribe. In this way, the connection between the Mo clan and the grassland tribes would be cut off, and the Mo clan would be isolated from now on. Helpless.
The Mo Clan and the two tribes had conflicts over grabbing pasture. After the Mo Clan and Beiming established diplomatic relations, Emperor Xuanwu could completely intensify the conflict between them and the Mo Clan as long as he found someone to provoke them. At that time, as long as they take action against the Black Ink Clan, Beiming can openly send troops to reinforce the Black Ink Clan. And their army only needs to be stationed in the Black Ink Clan to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. No matter which side wins, they will be alone and outnumbered, and they will not be Beiming's opponent at all. Whether it is the land of the Black Ink Clan or the volume of piano music, they have naturally become Beiming's possessions.
But the appearance of Mo Ling was unexpected by Emperor Xuanwu. He was indeed deeply attracted by Mo Ling at first, but soon he came to his senses and accurately realized that if Beiming and the Mo clan were to marry, Not only can you make your plan of killing two birds with one stone unbreakable, you may even have the opportunity to kill three birds with one stone.
Although Princess Mo Ling was talented and intelligent, she was too straightforward by nature and soon fell into Emperor Xuanwu's trap. After Emperor Xuanwu married Mo Ling, he invisibly promoted the development of the entire situation, and Mo Ling became the most critical chess piece in the whole game.
Emperor Xuanwu knew that Queen Renzhao was deeply devoted to him, so after Mo Ling entered the palace, he used Mo Ling to constantly stimulate her. Ironically, Xiao Heng did not die from poison in the end, but Emperor Xuanwu wiped out her desire to survive bit by bit, and finally died in depression.
After Xiao Heng's death, the power of the Xiao family in the court was greatly reduced. If Xiao Yuchuan wanted to consolidate his power, he must remove all obstacles for Rong Ming's future path to the crown prince.
And Mo Ling, the only noble concubine in the harem, was the only concubine during the lifetime of Queen Renzhao. After the death of Queen Renzhao, she took charge of the Sixth Palace on her behalf. If this backer gives birth to a prince in the future, Rong Ming's position as prince will be in jeopardy, and Xiao Yuchuan will naturally regard her as a thorn in his side. But no matter how long Xiao Yuchuan's hand is, he can't reach into the harem. If he wants to pull out this thorn, he can only start from the Mo clan.
Little did he know that his idea was exactly what Emperor Xuanwu wanted.
