Chapter IX: Empress Dowager Xuan Shu(1/2)
King Rong and Cao Yuan and his son left. Looking at the low chair that King Rong had just sat on, Lin Mo's mouth smiled evilly.
Now, the power of Lin Mo and Emperor Dagan in the Dagan court and army is simply impossible to accomplish anything big, so Lin Mo must attract foreign aid to help him and achieve his goal.
A few days ago, Lin Mo was thinking about how to attract foreign aid, whether to attract the Queen Mother or King Rong?
Just when Lin Mo was unsure of his mind, he didn't expect that Baili Qingcheng would create an excellent opportunity for him to attract King Rong to come.
After the thought fell, Lin Mo noticed that there seemed to be someone flashing behind the bird screen at the corner of the room, and shouted: "Zhilan, Yuyin, Qingcheng, don't hide, come out."
"Hehe, husband, how do you know we are behind?" Baili Qingcheng took the lead in walking out from behind the bird's screen with a sweet smile on his face.
After Baili Qingcheng came out, two more beautiful ladies came out, namely Bai Zhilan and Changsun Youyin. At this moment, the beauty of the two women was light blushing.
The two women eavesdropped on Baili Qingcheng's suggestion. They wanted to listen and go back, but unexpectedly, after listening for a while, Lin Mo discovered it.
Of course, the guard of His Highness Rong, the great sword master Di Wu, also discovered it, but this had no effect. All three girls were Lin Mo's wives. They just listened to it, without any effect.
A bad smile flashed across Lin Mo's lips: "The three ladies have a fragrance, but I can remember clearly. The three ladies hid behind the screen from the beginning, and I could hear it."
"Husband, it's great." Baili Qingcheng gave Lin Mo a blew kiss, turned around and saw the four boxes given by Cao Yuan by the table, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, husband, you are so awesome. Qingcheng really admires you so much and earns so much money." As he said that, Baili Qingcheng had already walked to the box containing flying money, turned his back to Lin Mo, and secretly stuffed money into his sleeves.
Baili Qingcheng is accustomed to hiding private money, how could Lin Mo not know? Therefore, Baili Qingcheng turned his back to him, and Lin Mo could also know that this girl must be hiding money again, but Lin Mo just smiled slightly and did not stop him.
After Baili Qingcheng had enough, Lin Mo ordered Xifeng behind him to say, "Xifeng, send a few Mo Guards to send the flying money worth 199,000 golden leaves in the box to the place where they should go."
"Yes, Master, Xifeng will send someone to the mistress now!" Xifeng said respectfully, and turned around and walked out in the box containing the flying money.
Seeing that Lin Mo knew that he had a flying money worth a thousand gold leaves, Baili Qingcheng laughed, walked to Lin Mo, sat down in Lin Mo's arms, and gave Lin Mo a fragrant kiss on his face: "Hehe, husband, you are so nice."
"You, you, the monthly money I just gave you this month has been spent today, right?"
Baili Qingcheng nodded obediently: "I just finished spending today. Qingcheng is about to ask you to withdraw your husband. When he saw that there was money in the hall, he took it himself, hehe."
The monthly money of the three girls of Baili Qingcheng is 100 gold leaves, which is enough for ordinary people to spend their whole life, but less than half a month has passed this month, Baili Qingcheng has spent it all.
Lin Mo sighed helplessly, saying that he was using Baili Qingcheng, a woman who spent money like water, and at the same time, he was also very moved.
These hundred golden leaves were worth 100 million in 2019, and they spent 100 million in less than half a month. Lin Mo sighed without hesitation: Not everyone can afford to raise the beauty of the country. Fortunately, what he lacks the most now is money.
After admiring the treasures sent by Cao Yuan, Changsun Youyin walked to Lin Mo and asked worriedly: "Husband, do you really want to help King Rong?"
If his husband helps King Rong, he will be enemies with his sister and brother-in-law. What Changsun Youyin doesn't want to see the scene of his relatives killing each other.
If such a thing really happens, Changsun Youyin will not know how to deal with it.
Let Baili Qingcheng get up and carry Changsun Youyin into his arms. Lin Mo smiled warmly and comforted him: "Youyin, don't worry, your husband will not help King Rong. Your brother-in-law invited him down the mountain. How could he help King Rong?"
"Well, why did you accept these things? You promised to help King Rong get rid of Duke Dan Li Tai?" Changsun Youyin asked in confusion.
"Why not?" Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and said, "They naturally have to accept the gifts. They can't refuse others' kindness, right? Besides, they just agreed to King Rong to help him get rid of Li Tai, but they did not agree to him to give him the army under Li Tai."
"My husband means, do you want to use King Rong?" Changsun Youyin understood.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "My husband has just arrived in the imperial capital and has no power in the court. If he wants to help His Majesty the Emperor recover his power, he must need the help of King Rong and let the Rong Party and the Hou Party fight first."
"But my husband, if Li Tai falls, King Rong will definitely send forces to invade Li Tai's army and then take the opportunity to control Li Tai's army." Changsun Youyin was still a little worried. You must know that King Rong is not a good person.
Seeing Changsun Youyin worrying, Bai Zhilan smiled and said, "Sister Youyin, don't worry! How can our husband not know about this principle? Our husband has already arranged everything."
Looking at Bai Zhilan and Baili Qingcheng's clever smile, seeing Lin Mo's posture in his chest, Changsun Youyin hesitated for a moment, and then showed his worries between his eyebrows.
The next day, above the Tai Chi Temple.
"If there is a memorial, there is no memorial." Gao Yue, who stood on the left side of Emperor Daqian, shouted loudly when Emperor Daqian had just settled down.
As soon as Gao Yue's voice fell, Cao Yuan, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, stood up first and said respectfully to Emperor Daqian on the dragon throne: "Reply to Your Majesty, I have the right to report it."
Emperor Daqian, who had a haggard face, said lightly: "What are you going to report to Cao Qing?"
Cao Yuan said seriously: "Go back to Your Majesty, I heard that Li Tai, Duke Shanguo has been slandering human life for the past eighteen years and poisoning the people, causing rumors in the public. I ask Your Majesty to send someone to investigate the matter."
As soon as Cao Yuan's words came out, the whole hall was silent, especially the Hou Dang, headed by Xuan Yuan, looked even more astonishing. They didn't understand why Rong Dang suddenly broke up with them and others.
Looking at Lin Mo with his face unchanged, Xuan Yuan instantly understood that it must be that King Rong had secretly taken Lin Mo into the account. He was going to start to destroy his people and dominate the court.
Xuan Yuan's face turned cold and he stepped out of the line, bowed to Emperor Daqian, and said, "Your Majesty, I ask you to govern Cao Yuan."
"Oh, I don't know what crime Cao Qing committed, so please explain it." The Rong Party and the Hou Party started fighting, and Emperor Daqian was immediately energetic and asked calmly.
Xuan Yuan said coldly: "When Cao Yuan heard rumors in the market, he dared to face the Holy See and slander the Duke. Li Tai is my strong minister and a second-rank general. How can he slander at will? How can Cao Yuan be innocent?"
The Emperor Dagan said oh and asked, "What Xuanqing meant is that Duke Shan did not take human life. Is it Cao Qing slandering our loyal minister?"
“That’s right.”
The Emperor Dagan nodded and asked everyone again: "What do you mean by your family?"
"Is the rumors in the market groundless? I ask Your Majesty to send someone to investigate this matter." Zhuo Ping, a doctor from the Ministry of Justice, stepped out and said: "If the rumors continue to spread, it may be detrimental to me."
"I'm going to discuss it." Many ministers who supported King Rong said in unison; "Please send someone to investigate this matter."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this." Xuan Yuan said anxiously: "If Your Majesty investigates important officials in the court because of rumors, it may be a shame for the ministers. Please think twice."
"Please think twice." The Hou Party took the initiative and his voice was neat and loud.
Seeing the two parties fighting each other, Emperor Dagan felt very happy, but he said in a very difficult manner: "What you said is reasonable, it is difficult for me."
Suddenly, Emperor Dagan's eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Mo and said, "Lin Qing, how do you think I should make a decision?"
When Lin Mo, who had been waiting for a long time to sleep, was shocked and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that all the lords are right, but since there are rumors in the room and the trend of gradually spreading, it is still reported by Doctor Cao, so he naturally wants to send someone to investigate."
Listening to Lin Mo's words, the people of the Honor Party all looked happy, and the people of the Later Party were displeased, but when Lin Mo said that the people of the Later Party immediately became happy again.
"But if what Doctor Cao said was false, it would be a slander of the important officials of the court. I believe that he would be punished severely, and he would be the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue and be elected to serve as another person."
"Well, Lin Qing's words are reasonable." Emperor Dagan nodded thoughtfully, and turned to ask King Rong, who had not spoken a word, said: "I wonder what the emperor's intention is?"
King Rong thought for a moment after a moment of silence and said, "Brother, I think what Lin Shangqing said is reasonable. If what Cao Yuan said is false, then he will be the position of doctor of the Ministry of Revenue."
This matter is a risk. If Lin Mo lied to him and Duke Shan did not do any evil deeds, he would have lost a Ministry of Revenue for nothing. However, King Rong thought about it and decided to take a gamble.
This is the temptation of the army of 300,000!
Seeing that King Rong nodded and agreed, Emperor Dagan turned to look at Xuan Yuan and asked, "Xuanqing, what do you think?"
"I think this is very appropriate."
Li Tai has always been kind and righteous, but Xuan Yuan doesn't believe that Li Tai will be the one who cares about human life. Besides, even if so, Xuan Yuan can let Li Tai be wrong and choose all the sins of Li Tai of the Qing Dynasty.
"That's great." Emperor Dagan said happily: "Well, who do you think I should send?"
As soon as Emperor Dagan finished his words, King Rong stood up: "I think Lin Shangqing is the most suitable. Lin Shangqing had taken over a case before. It is very likely that these two cases are related. Why not let Lin Shangqing investigate it to the end?"
"The emperor's words are reasonable." Emperor Dagan nodded in agreement, asked Xuan Yuan what he meant: "Xuan Shangqing, what do you think?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, I agree with His Highness Rong's opinion." Xuan Yuan bowed and bowed.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Emperor Dagan said to Lin Mo: "Since that's the case, these two cases will be handed over to Lin Qing. I hope Lin Qing will quickly solve the case and give the officials and the people the same truth."
"Since the order."
Dagan Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.
"Great, Lin Qing, these two parties finally started to bite them." Emperor Dagan smiled and said, "Lin Qing really has you, how did you do it?"
"Because I received the honorary gift from King Rong." Lin Mo knelt across from Emperor Dagan and said lightly: "King Rong gave me 200,000 gold leaves, Tianshan Wenyu, Ten Endgame Chess Records of Heaven and Earth, and the Yunlu Fairy Tea on the extreme peak of Yunlu Mountain."
As soon as Lin Mo said, Emperor Dagan's laughter came to an abrupt end. Emperor Dagan understood the value of those things too much. Those things were several times more precious than the things he gave him.
Emperor Dagan was slightly stunned and asked with a sad expression: "Lin Qing accepted such a heavy gift from King Rong, but is he going to help King Rong?"
"How could I help King Rong?" Lin Mo shook his head and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, we are brother-in-law. Why should I get King Rong who is not married to him?"
"Lin Qing said, but it's true?" Emperor Dagan looked happy, but there was also a look of suspicion on his face.
"Of course it's true." Lin Mo said with a firm look: "How can those vulgar things in gold and silver be compared to the worries that are swaying in the country? Compared with those things, I naturally love beauty more."
"Then I will thank Lin Qing for thanking Lin Qing." Emperor Da Gan said happily: "If Lin Qing helps me seize the power of this Da Gan, I will grant Lin Qing a title and a title. Furthermore, in the future, I will allow Lin Qing to enter the harem at will, except for my Lan'er, Lin Qing can take it at will."
When Lin Mo heard the words of Emperor Dagan, he suddenly felt very moved. It seemed that Emperor Dagan had really spared no expense to keep him and opened the gates of the harem to him.
But even though Emperor Dagan promised this way, Lin Mo would not do that. That would cause trouble in the harem, and he would definitely leave a reputation for eternity in the future.
Lin Mo would not do such a stupid thing. Lin Mo's wish is enough for three wives and four concubines. If he had three thousand beauties, wouldn't he have to die early?
But Lin Mo had an idea that he had before, that was, after Emperor Dagan took power, he would let the concubines who had been struggling to stay in the palace.
Although this idea is ridiculous.
"My name..." Lin Mo wanted to refuse, and Emperor Dagan's ridiculous grace to let him enter the harem at will, but at this moment, Gao Yue rushed in and interrupted Lin Mo's words.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager summons you to Ansheng Palace." After saying to Emperor Dagan, he said to Lin Mo again: "Sir, Your Majesty has given you instructions, and you will go together."
Want to call me to go? Lin Mo smiled.
In Ansheng Palace.
Lin Mo and Emperor Dagan knelt on the ground, and sat in front of him a woman in gorgeous palace outfit, graceful and majestic manner. It was the empress dowager Xuan Shu who held half of the power of Dagan and used vicious means.
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, in her fifties, had a frown on her lips, but it could still be seen that she must have been a great beauty in a role when she was young. Unfortunately, the martial arts queen who wanted to learn from China.
This Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was not the biological mother of Emperor Dagan, but the empress of Emperor Ji Fang, who was the mother of Emperor Dagan. The Empress Dowager, and Emperor Dagan's biological mother was secretly killed by Xuan Shu as early as when she gave birth to him.
