Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 49 Calculating (2)

After a long time, Xiao Yi suddenly said lightly: "You tell me, Master Mo did this, what exactly is he trying to do? I really can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!"

Xiao Shu was startled, and replied while deliberating: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, it is still uncertain that this matter was caused by Master Mo..."

Xiao Yi glanced at him angrily, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily, "How many times have I told you, don't put on such a cautious courtier's character in front of me, it's disgusting!"

Xiao Shu was silent, but said frankly: "I only know that so far, no matter what Master Mo does or does, it is beneficial and harmless to the emperor."

"Do you think I'm suspecting him of harming me?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "Since I let him be my chancellor and give him real power, I have believed in his loyalty. In other words, if there is any change, I will He must not be tolerated." After a pause, he explained slowly: "Zhengyan, this is the way of getting along between monarchs and ministers, and I am ruthless. But you are different from me, we are brothers."

Xiao Shu smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yi didn't talk too much about it, and continued the previous topic: "Today's appointment was made by Master Mo. He is proficient in celestial phenomena, and he knew that there would be a blizzard in the first two days, and he also knew that the snow had just stopped this morning, and there was no time to clean it up." The houses in the palace are solid, and no matter how thick the snow is, it may not necessarily collapse. Moreover, most of the palaces and pavilions were built more than ten or even decades ago. Even if something goes wrong, it can only be repaired. It’s a petty crime. But here it’s different, from the design to the ordering of the materials to the selection of the workers, it’s all done by the old guy surnamed Ruan to curry favor with me. If something goes wrong, there’s no way to find a scapegoat. , we originally planned to have a small gathering in the room, which is the collapsed room." Pointing to the ashes of the wreckage, he said: "Remember, it was Master Mo who proposed to go to the pavilion, and He left the Four Treasures of the Study with him in the room. If I guessed correctly, he wanted to use the reason of taking those things to go back to the room alone..."

"So, he sent me away under the pretext of being drunk." Xiao Shu smiled wryly: "He is always like this, he does not hesitate to risk his life to achieve his goal. He kept the secret beforehand because he was afraid that we would hinder him."

"It's a pity that although I predicted things like a god, I didn't expect a young eagle to fly over suddenly, causing me to climb up the room to catch it for Yueyue to play with. In the end, the already crumbling roof was overwhelmed and collapsed prematurely. "Xiao Yilong clenched his sleeves into fists, and his bright voice was a bit dark: "I never expected that I would lose all judgment in such a hurry, and would use my body to block that giant tree."

Xiao Shu sighed: "Yes, although Master Mo would have been injured originally, it was not so serious. According to my investigation just now, the beam and wood structure in the house has been rebuilt, and when it collapses, it will basically smash outward. Moreover, There is just an empty space in front of the case where the pen and ink are placed. If everything goes according to the original plan and there are no such coincidences, then..."

"Then, it will be very difficult for me to lose my mind due to my anger and make a hasty decision to kill a minister without any trial. By the way, I also burned all the evidence on the grounds that the remaining anger was still there." , Let this case become an iron case, a death case that cannot be investigated and cannot be reversed."

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, looking at the wisps of smoke in the scorched black: "He wants to knock down a moth, so I will exert more force, add more fire, and send him to the underworld. Otherwise, how can I be sorry?" Has become the out-of-print Mo Xiang calligraphy and painting, has become the most famous Mo Xiangqin music?"

"It's just a word of advice..." Xiao Yi turned around slowly, with a smile that was not a smile: "It suddenly occurred to me that in recent years, Master Mo seems to be very quick to deal with ministers who want to get involved in the post. , and very ruthless. You said, everything he did was for Yueyue, right?"
