The harem of the Imperial Palace of Wu State.
Xingyun Pavilion.
Emperor Wu stood in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand. He had maintained this posture for half a cup of tea, but he still did not finish writing.
There were two pieces of paper on the desk in front of him.
A line of words has been written on a piece of paper. It was written a few days ago. What is written on it is:
Dawu suddenly hears the bell, and the mist of teaching is blurred, so people should wake up.
I thought that this trip to Xijian Tower would broaden my mind and wake me up, but unexpectedly I still couldn't write this second line that I wanted to write.
Simply put the pen down again.
He turned around, looked at Zhang Jingzhong, and thought for a moment, "Go and call Mo Wangchen for me!"
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Zhang Jingzhong bowed and retreated, and Emperor Wu came to the tea table and cooked a pot of tea.
While making tea, he suddenly thought of his only daughter, Wu Qin.
Wu Qin, born to Concubine Shu, is thirteen years old and will be born next year.
On the day of my sixtieth birthday, Qin'er's words were very insightful. Well, my daughter liked Li Chenan's poems very much.
He seems to have great admiration for this guy Li Chenan.
Li Chenan is in Guiyuan.
Unexpectedly, this boy turned out to be the son of the one who returned to the garden!
What's more, he didn't expect that there was Princess Yun'an of Ning Kingdom hiding right under his nose!
Since this kid is determined to ascend the throne as emperor after retrieving Zhongli Ruoshui...
Although he lost his martial arts skills, he became the emperor of Ning State!
In Emperor Wu's view, the rivers and lakes are still rivers and lakes after all. No matter how big the rivers and lakes are, no matter how high the master is, they will ultimately be under the control of the imperial court.
So it's not a big deal that Li Chenan loses his martial arts skills.
Since that boy is unparalleled in poetry and writing, I wonder if he can get the second line of this couplet right.
I'll ask Qin'er to go back to the garden tomorrow with this couplet.
Since the two countries have already formed an alliance, it would of course be best if the alliance could be bound more firmly.
Marriage is obviously the best way!
Just when Emperor Wu was thinking about these things, Zhang Jingzhong walked in with Mo Wangchen.
Emperor Wu retracted his thoughts, looked up at Mo Wangchen, and asked:
"How are the arrangements going?"
Mo Wangchen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the second, third, and second bedrooms are all going to look for Zhongli Ruoshui and Fan Lihua in accordance with your Majesty's orders."
"Zhengyifang quickly went to Beifang with the emperor's autograph."
"Um... sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mo Wangchen carefully sat across from Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu withdrew his gaze, took a handful of tea and put it into the cup, and asked calmly: "What has the prince been doing these days?"
"...Back to the emperor, the prince will occasionally leave the palace to visit Qiuzhuang to see the Dragon Guard Army."
"The rest of the time I spend most of my time in the East Palace. By the way, the prince also visited the thatched cottage at the foot of Jimo Mountain two days ago."
Emperor Wu frowned: "Where does Xian Youzhi, a layman in the thatched cottage, live?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
Emperor Wu pondered for three breaths, "His husband is Yun Shuxian. Yun Shuxian has always had political disagreements with Xian Youzhi... Why did he go to visit Xian Youzhi?"
"Back to the Emperor, it is said that His Highness the Crown Prince believes that both listening and speaking will lead to enlightenment."
Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment he said: "It seems it's not so unbearable!"
Mo Wangchen bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty... I have something you don't know whether to say or not?"
"This is nonsense. Don't I understand and listen to it? Tell me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I think that the prince...the prince proposes the strategy of reducing the vassal vassal, which seems to be against the emperor's intention, but the prince's starting point...I have some secrets in the control room, so I think there is nothing wrong with this strategy!"
Emperor Wu paused while holding the teapot and looked up at Mo Wangchen:
"I don't think this strategy is inappropriate!"
Mo Wangchen cupped his hands again and said, "I'm brave, I feel that the emperor's recent actions..."
"For example, move the Divine Eagle Army into the Four Liang Stone Camp."
"For example, Beifu General Wu Li was originally ordered to lead Beifu's 100,000-strong army to Jianshan Mountain to encircle and suppress all the Ning troops in Jianshan Mountain. However, after Beifu soldiers went out to fight, they ordered Beifu soldiers to go to the northwest border..."
"I thought that the Ning Kingdom is weak now, and Li Chenan... he is just a poetry immortal from the Ning Kingdom, and he has not become an invincible grand master."
"Even if he is a great master, so what?"
"Xia Hua from Duke Xia's Mansion, Your Majesty should know His Highness the Crown Prince's intention towards Xia Hua. But this year Xia Hua has become the Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion. She is deeply in love with Li Chenan, but the Emperor has formed an alliance with Ning Guo. How does this make His Highness the Crown Prince's face?"
"I, I risk my life and ask, does the emperor have any intention of deposing the East Palace?"
Emperor Wu's hand paused in the air for a long time.
It wasn't until Mo Wangchen finished speaking that he poured himself a cup of tea.
Zhang Jingzhong, who was standing behind him, became nervous. His hand fell into his sleeve pocket, and there was a dagger about a foot long in it!
Emperor Wu picked up the tea cup and blew on it. In the misty tea smoke, he slightly squinted his eyes and looked at Mo Wangchen, "Do you know your identity?"
Mo Wangchen stood up and bowed: "I know!"
Emperor Wu's voice suddenly became louder:
"Then you still dare to question me about my thoughts!"
"I don't dare!"
"I don't blame you, it's just because I don't understand!"
"The prince has been in charge of the East Palace for more than ten years. What's wrong with him?"
"Even if there is, who can make mistakes without being a sage? The emperor won't give the prince a chance?"
Emperor Wu put down the tea cup, looked up at Mo Wangchen, and suddenly smiled: "If I don't give him a chance, you are the Grand Master, do you dare to attack me?"
Mo Wangchen also raised his head.
"I am the emperor's dog, but I thought...it was great for the country of Wu that the emperor did not interfere with government affairs."
"But what the emperor is doing now... I don't understand!"
"I also know that the emperor has been suspicious of me for a long time, just because I am originally from Empress Qi!"
"I accept the kindness of Empress Qi for the betterment of the future of Wu State...I once again dare to say a few words to the emperor,"
"Chu Tianji is gone!"
"In this palace, I am the only one who is the great master!"
"Your Majesty, you are old. In order to safeguard the inheritance of the Wu Kingdom, I beg your Majesty... to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your authority!"
These words contained the threat of Chi Guoguo!
Zhang Jingzhong's heart trembled, "You bitch, you are so courageous!"
"Someone is coming...!"
Mo Wangchen looked at Zhang Jingzhong and grinned: "You old guy is just a half-step grand master. I will kill you, but it will only take a few breaths!"
"Besides, you can't even shout at one of the great masters in Xingyun Pavilion!"
Zhang Jingzhong's soul was in panic. He was about to speak, but Emperor Wu raised a hand to stop him.
Not only did Emperor Wu's face not have the panic look that Mo Wangchen wanted to see most, but it was actually extremely calm.
Like that heart-stopping calm before the storm!
He even picked up the tea cup and took a sip before asking again:
"Did Wu Qian ask you to kill me or did Queen Qi send you here?"
Mo Wangchen felt his heart skip a beat at this moment, "I did it myself!"
"Oh... don't forget Chen, I originally thought that you were really the most loyal dog to me. Dogs only need to obey their masters. Dogs should not have their own ideas!"
"Especially if someone like you intends to interfere with the inheritance of the throne!"
"You're right."
"I have long suspected you. In addition, I do have the idea of deposing the East Palace."
"You shouldn't be so rash. If you do this... the Qi family will have no choice but to stay in the cold palace and wait for death. As for Wu Qian..."
Emperor Wu picked up the teapot and filled himself a cup of tea. When he raised his eyes again, there was a cold light in his eyes:
"It's time to kill some people, otherwise, the eagle and the dog will think that I am really going downhill and they won't be able to pee!"
Mo Wangchen was suddenly shocked!
There are only three people here!
Although Zhang Jingzhong is a half-step master, he absolutely cannot stop himself from striking the emperor with a sword at such a close distance!
But the emperor is so indifferent at this moment!
Could it be...?
His face turned cold: "Please ask your Majesty to ascend to heaven!"
He thrust out with his sword.
But the moment his sword thrust out, he withdrew it again.
There is a screen behind Emperor Wu.
The screen is now broken.
A person walked out of the broken screen.
Mo Wangchen held the sword and looked at the man.
"Chu Tianji!"
