Teacher is too tough

In the current court situation, there are only three forces left.

The upright and pure ministers headed by the chief assistant Lu Ping were denounced by the other two parties as stubborn, called diehards.

The other two parties are supporters of the second prince, Prince Yi, and the fourth prince, Prince Chun.

In the past two years, the diehard faction has grown stronger. Under the mediation of Tai Fu Bai Tonggu, Prince Yi and Prince Chun temporarily formed an alliance, and the three parties maintained a delicate balance.

No one knew that this situation was formed because Mr. Li, the consort of Princess Huai'an who lived in seclusion secretly manipulated it. Even Bai Tonggu, who was a player in the game, did not realize that he had become a chess piece in the hands of others.

Not to mention that no one knew that Prince Concubine Li, who was hiding in a corner and disturbing the wind and rain, had the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor behind him.

Mo Rengan didn't reveal whether he voted for the second prince or the fourth prince. No matter which one he voted for, he had already stood on the opposite side of the diehards. Naturally, he knew that with Lu Wenyuan's temperament, he would never show mercy to him.

Zhuangyuan Lang still sat upright, his eyes were firm, and he said: "Students know, please don't worry about old feelings, and do what you want."

These words seemed to be slightly provocative, but Lu Wenyuan did not get angry because he knew that Mo Rengan had absolutely no intention of provocation.

In fact, after hearing Mo Rengan's decision, Lu Wenyuan was not angry from the beginning to the end, but only sad and regretful.

He appreciates the talent of the number one scholar, not only him, but also the people of Prince Yi and Prince Jin highly recognize the talent of this number one scholar, otherwise they wouldn't join forces to suppress him in the position of a small clerk for several years out of fear Don't move.

Even when the diehards were at their peak, they still frantically suppressed such a "little person" regardless of the cost, leaving the chief assistant Lu Ping powerless.

Lu Wenyuan knew that this was more like his favorite protégé from a friend who had forgotten his years. He had faced so many temptations from his opponents, such as money, beauties, and of course official positions, but he never wavered.

Knowing that he has gone through these tests, Lu Wenyuan has enough trust in his character, so he was so surprised at this time.

He didn't stop examining Mo Rengan, and he said after a long time: "With your ingenuity, you should know that there is no point in pretending to surrender. They are already jealous of you, and they will definitely guard against this, so you make a move." This decision means that in the future, you will really do things for them, and do the things you are most shameless."

Mo Rengan said: "Students know that students are ready."

Lu Wenyuan said: "And in the future, you and I can no longer be called teachers and students, let alone interact with each other."

Mo Rengan said: "The student's actions may make the teacher a laughing stock in the eyes of some people, so I ask the teacher to take care of it."

Lu Wenyuan finally knew that this matter was irreversible, and he said sadly: "Why? Are you really serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

Mo Rengan was silent for a moment, and said: "I was born in a farming family and lost my father since I was a child. My mother raised me up through hardships alone. I swore to her that I would be famous in my studies and achieve a great career. Make her proud of me, let her face shine."

There was a moment of silence again, and he said again: "After I won the number one prize, she was as happy as a child, but I have spent several years in this capital without achieving anything, and she has become the laughing stock in the eyes of the neighbors. I need to give her an explanation , and give myself an explanation."

Lu Wenyuan shook his head and said: "Going directly from the seventh rank to the Minister of the Ministry of War is tantamount to reaching the sky in one step. How could they do it? Even if we don't stop it, His Majesty the Emperor will not agree."

Mo Rengan said: "You will know only after trying."

Lu Wenyuan pointed at him with his finger, thinking that the number one scholar was simply infatuated, but he didn't say anything after all.

Mo Rengan poured a cup of tea and held it in front of Lu Wenyuan, saying, "Students serve tea to the teacher for the last time."

In the end, he still didn't tell the whole truth to this teacher who was dedicated to serving the people.

Of course he knew that it was unprecedented to be promoted from a seventh-rank official to be a minister in one step, so he chose to try because Taifu Bai wanted to give him a great contribution first!
This is a military merit, a military merit that is enough for him to ascend to the sky in one step.

For more than a year, even the people in the capital knew that His Majesty the Emperor had been worrying about the rebel army in Qiongzhou. Only 36 states, they have now occupied three states!
The Daren Dynasty has not had a war for more than 200 years. If the largest rebel army in recent years is wiped out, it seems that the appetite for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War seems a bit small.

Mo Rengan has never been a conceited person. Although he is familiar with the art of war, he knows that it is just talk on paper. Of course, he will not think that this military achievement is something in his pocket.

However, Taifu Bai told him that asking him to quell the chaos was just a show.

Because the rebel army in Qiongzhou was raised by them alone!
When Mo Rengan heard the news, he was extremely shocked. How dare they? !

This military disaster stretched across the three states, how many innocent people lost their lives?

This is just a casual move they made, just to use this credit to place someone of their own in a key position in the court when necessary!
Both Prince Yi and Prince Jin were involved in this matter, and even Bai Tonggu did not expect that disasters had already been cultivated, but they were deadlocked because of the issue of who would pick the fruit.

The alliance between Prince Yi and Prince Jin was forced by circumstances, and sooner or later they would part ways to fight for the only dragon chair in the world, so no one would give in such a fruitful fruit.

In the end, Bai Tonggu came up with such an idea, to give the great achievements of the day to Mo Rengan in exchange for the attachment of this young talent.

First pull the number one scholar to work in your own camp. As for who will make this talent come back to you in the future, Prince Yi or Prince Jin, each depends on his own ability.

This was indeed a very fair approach. The two most powerful princes in the world admired Mo Rengan's talent and learning, so no one objected.

Mo Rengan did not tell Lu Wenyuan this shocking event, because he was not naive enough to think that Lu Wenyuan could make something out of it.

This is the crime of exterminating the nine clans. Since Bai Tonggu dared to tell him about it, it shows that their hands and feet must be clean. How could people find evidence?
It was impossible for Mo Rengan to agree to such a shameless and shameless thing, but Taifu Bai told him bluntly that if he did not agree, then he would have to find someone who would satisfy both princes. When will such a talent be found? During this period, the war in Qiongzhou has to continue.

The Grand Tutor obviously knew that Qiongzhou was the hometown of this amazingly talented number one scholar.

When he had the ability to change all this, when he had the ability to save the lives of some innocent people, Mo Rengan couldn't stand by and do nothing, so he still agreed.

Mo Rengan knew that it was impossible for him to shake the will of the two princes, and it was impossible for the three forces in the DPRK and China to shake hands and make peace, so his promise this time was not false, but a real intention to help them.

As Li Hong said, whether it is a diehard who is only for the country and the country, or the two princes who are vying for the throne, they are all well aware of the fact that His Majesty the Emperor intends to indulge party disputes.

But they are in it and have to fight.

Mo Rengan is also very clear about this, and he also knows a truth, when he has no ability to turn the table, there is only one way to change the status quo, join them, follow their rules of the game, and climb up step by step.

When you climb to a high enough position, you will naturally have more power to speak, and you will have the ability to reformulate the rules.

More Rengan wants to be the core figure in the camp of the two princes, because only by doing this can he act according to his own wishes.

He knew that in the process, he had to do some things that made him shameless, and he had to harm some innocent people. Even if he had a heart to help the people, even if his purpose was beautiful and pure, he would be washed away in the end. Don't take the blood off your hands.

In other words, even if he did this, he would no longer be clean.

But he still decided to do it. He is not a person who cares about fame, and he will never have the benevolence of an untimely woman.

"Can I go see Qiu Yu again?"

Mo Rengan hesitated for a moment, and finally said this sentence.

Lu Wenyuan took a deep look at him. He intended to match his daughter with this proud student, but unfortunately her daughter disagreed, but it could be seen that she regarded him as her elder brother from the bottom of her heart.

Sighing, Lu Wenyuan said: "Go ahead and say goodbye. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to meet again in the future."

Mo Rengan's unsmiling face suddenly dimmed.

He knew that his teacher wouldn't care about this kind of thing, but after all, he belonged to different camps in the future, and some things would always be beyond his control.

What's more, even if Lu Wenyuan could get in touch with him as before, he would not dare to go to the door of the house again, he was afraid that if he got too close to the Lu family, the two princes would let him do things that would hurt the Lu family.

In the courtyard, Lu Qiuyu was lying on a green bamboo rocking chair, squinting, looking at the bright sky through the green leaves above his head, dazed.

When Mo Rengan walked into the courtyard, Lu Qiuyu didn't get up, but turned to look at him with a smile and said, "If you do this, I'm afraid someone will scold dad and grandpa for being blind, and they will definitely scold you for being a white-eyed wolf."

A gentle smile appeared on Mo Rengan's serious face, and he said, "You are like a strategist who plans strategies, stays at home, but can't hide anything from you."

Lu Qiuyu said: "With the eyes and ears of Xiaoqing, at least I can know everything about the family."

After Mo Rengan sat down, she asked directly: "What is your plan?"

Mo Rengan said: "I plan to replace Bai Tonggu, Chen Xiuqing and Shen Guangwu, and become the number one dog legs under Prince Yi and Prince Chun. Since His Majesty likes party disputes, I will cooperate with the teacher and act for him." look."

Lu Qiuyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "But if this is the case, you will definitely do a lot of things against your will. I know who you are, can you bear the torment of your conscience?"

Mo Rengan smiled: "Since you know who I am, you should also know that I can stand it."

Lu Qiuyu was taken aback, and after a long time said quietly: "As expected of Brother Mo."

Neither of them spoke anymore, and after an unknown amount of time, Lu Qiuyu suddenly said, "I'm going to go to Princess Huai'an's mansion to worship Mr. Li as my teacher. You know that the couple have always liked me very much, and they will definitely not refuse."

Mo Rengan was taken aback, and said, "It seems that you really like Jianghu."

Lu Qiuyu shook his head and said: "Cousin said that Li Qingshi sent him a letter, asking him to remind grandpa that they should beware of Mr. Li, saying that the current chaos in the court is caused by Mr. Li behind the scenes."

Mo Rengan frowned slightly. Apart from knowing that His Majesty let the faction fight, he also always felt that there seemed to be a hand hiding in the dark in the capital and fiddled with everything silently. So it was Prince Concubine Li?Said: "Li Qingshi has fled the capital after doing such a big event, is it really the letter from him?"

Lu Qiuyu said: "It doesn't matter who sent the letter. Since someone has reminded you, it's always right to be careful. You should be more careful in the future."

Mo Rengan said: "You are right." After a pause, he continued: "You want to go to Princess Huai'an's mansion to investigate Concubine Li?"

Lu Qiuyu nodded and said, "In order to make the world better, you are all working hard, and I also want to do what I can."

Mo Rengan said: "No, if Concubine Li really has problems, it's too dangerous for you to do so."

Lu Qiuyu said: "Brother Mo, I didn't persuade you to make such a decision, but I knew I couldn't persuade you."

Mo Rengan still frowned, but stopped talking.

Lu Qiuyu murmured: "Swear to destroy Daren...Brother Mo, do you think he can really destroy Daren?"

Mo Rengan didn't speak.

How easy is it to overthrow Daren?
In recent years, countless people raised flags and rebelled, and the one in Qiongzhou was the only one that became popular, but it was the work of the two princes.

Mo Rengan knew that Lu Qiuyu had a crush on Li Qingshi, so he didn't want to speak ill of him in front of her, even if it was just to state his opinion objectively.

……

Outside Shengren City, Mo Rengan walked alone.

He came to a small village on the outskirts of the city and pushed open the gate of a dilapidated farmer's house. In the house, an old woman with gray hair was hunched over in front of an old loom weaving.

Mo Rengan walked into the courtyard and called out: "Mother."

The old woman turned her head, her face full of wind and frost.

She stopped weaving, stood up, arched her back and asked, "What happened?"

Years of hard work made it impossible for her to straighten her back.

Mo Rengan said: "The child wants to do a great thing, but until it is done, he will keep ignoring his conscience and harm some good people."

"Why did you do this?" asked the old woman.

Mo Rengan said: "In order to prevent the people in the world from being displaced, in order to prevent the people in the world from suffering from cold and starvation."

The old woman asked again: "Then can you make up your mind?"

Mo Rengan said: "In order to do this, the boy has given up on the girl he loves the most, and he will not even be able to see her again in the future."

The old woman said: "Then let's do it, what do you need mother to do?"

Mo Rengan said: "They are worried about the baby, so they need the mother to live in another place and go to them as a hostage."

The old woman didn't know how much she understood, she didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the room, and came out after a while, with a simple bundle in her hand, and said: "Let's go."

Mo Rengan knelt on the ground, lying at his mother's feet, weeping uncontrollably. (end of this chapter)
