After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 421
"I wanted to go, I have prepared all the congratulatory gifts."

As Pei Mo said, he rubbed his thumb back and forth on the jade wrench, and he remembered the words sent back by Chen Shiwei, who was serving as an errand at the palace gate.

In the middle of last night, when the palace gate was supposed to be locked and no one was allowed to move around, Chen Shiwei, who was on duty at the palace gate, discovered something unusual.

I saw a eunuch who was not wearing a palace uniform appearing at the gate of the palace holding an exquisitely packaged gift box.

Guard Chen stepped forward to stop the eunuch's routine inspection, and saw the eunuch take out a golden waist badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from his sleeve.

The waist badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is equivalent to the emperor's oral order. Chen Shiwei's face was shocked, and he let him go with sincerity.

Just like that, the eunuch left the palace swaggeringly with the gift box in his hand, not knowing where he was going.

Pei Mo who received the news immediately thought of Fang Anren's promotion banquet, but the afternoon Fang Anren received the imperial decree, the emperor's reward had already been sent to Prince Yi's mansion by the palace servants.

Why do you need to secretly send a eunuch to give gifts to Prince Yi's mansion?
Thinking of this, Pei Mo asked, "An Ren, is there anything from the palace among the gifts received by the palace today?"

An Ren nodded, "Yes, there are a few gold wares. Although they don't look expensive, the craftsmanship of those wares is obviously from the craftsmen in the palace."

Pei Mo understood, "That's right."

"What's right." Fang Anren was confused by his words.

"Among the guests who went to congratulate the palace today, there may be someone secretly sent by the emperor to inquire about the situation."

"What?" Fang Anren was surprised, "What does the emperor mean?"

Pei Mo pressed his temple with one hand, and he couldn't tell what the emperor was thinking, "Let's not talk about that, I have already asked the emperor to resign when I went to the palace today, and the emperor gave permission, but only after two months. Let me leave Beijing."

"Brother Pei resigned?"

Fang Anren was taken aback, he didn't think there was anything wrong, he just thought that if brother Pei became the general of the town, it must be Dashun's loss.

"Ah."

As Pei Mo said, he raised his hand to clasp Murong Qing's hand on the table, rubbed the small hand into his palm with a big palm, and Murong Qing also spread his hand very naturally, and clasped his fingers tightly.

He didn't speak anymore, but it seemed that this action was telling others that fame and wealth are nothing if you have people around you.

Seeing these two folded hands, Yan Ru smiled knowingly, and her high hanging heart was finally put back in her stomach. Thinking about it, with a reliable person like Pei Mo, the boss will not be wronged.

Fang Anren was also relieved, with his wife's company, Brother Pei would not be so alone.

"It's fine if you resign from this official position, and you'll save yourself from being watched all day long, but why do you have to make Brother Pei wait for another two months? It wouldn't be some kind of delay."

As Fang Anren spoke, he thought without any doubt that the old emperor was uneasy and kind, maybe he was playing some trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so that Brother Pei could be detained in the capital.

After all, things that haven't come down from the imperial decree are tantamount to empty words.

Hearing the words, Pei Mo's eyes became a little more heavy. Even though he got the emperor's personal promise, he himself did not dare to say that he was sure of it. Now that the second prince is dead, the third prince is exiled, and the first prince returned the emperor who has no news. Knowing what he was thinking, he might agree one second and regret it the next.

Thinking about it, he sighed softly, "Now that the emperor has no children, those vassal kings are starting to move around. Thinking about it, the emperor would not be willing to let me leave Beijing so early."

Speaking of vassal princes, Murong Qing turned his attention to Fang Anren.

Although Fang Anren's father is a prince, he is only a king with a different surname, so he cannot be regarded as a serious son. The son of Dashun can inherit his father's lineage, but a child with a different surname can only enjoy glory when his father is alive, and he wants to If you want fame and titles, you still need to work hard to get them.

Some people are born to be the son of the world, but some people need the smoke from the ancestral grave to make their children the son of the world.

The world seems to be fair, but often people in the midst of welfare will not strive for fairness, only the unjust people struggle desperately, longing for the slightest bit of equality.

"Not only the vassal king, but also several concubines in the palace who gave birth to princes. Although these princes are still young, their mother's family may not want to take this position."

Fang Anren said, originally he would not understand these things, but in just two days, these things that should have caused him a headache miraculously flooded into his mind.

In fact, the emperor is not really a loner, he still has brothers and several children.

Although the relationship between the emperor and these relatives is not very close.

Except for his own father, King Yi, the rest of the princes are the emperor's half-brothers. They also shed the blood of the Sheng family. If the emperor's children fail to sit on the dragon chair, there is nothing wrong with them sitting on it.

It's just that there is only one dragon chair, who wouldn't want to sit on it by himself?

And among those princes, several have military power.

"It's reasonable. The stability of the imperial city is just an illusion. I heard that Concubine Zhuang in the palace has started sending letters to her mother's house frequently."

When Pei Mo opened his mouth, his eyebrows were almost twisted into twists.

Concubine Zhuang is the biological mother of the sixth prince, and concubine Zhuang is not favored, and the sixth prince is also ordinary, nothing extraordinary, but the advantage is that he is the oldest prince besides the fifth prince.

The fifth prince, Sheng Xiumin, is inconspicuous, and has always been disliked by the emperor, not to mention that he has no mother's family. I am afraid that the emperor has long forgotten this son.

Although the sixth prince is the oldest among the few remaining princes, he is only ten years old this year, and the next ones are the seventh prince who is six years old and the eighth prince who is three years old. The Nine Princes.

Then it is self-evident what Zhuang Concubine's purpose is to contact her mother's family.

"How can you be so impatient? Isn't the emperor still... in good health?"

At first Fang Anren held his forehead in sorrow and almost said the wrong thing, but fortunately even if he stopped, he covered his mouth in fear after a while, the emperor's people will not be everywhere.

Pei Mo patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, I sent people on the eaves at this time, and people in the mansion can still speak freely."

After he learned that Murong Qing was being followed, he feared that the emperor would also send people to monitor the General's Mansion, so he pre-emptively sent his own people to surround the General's Mansion layer by layer.

In this way, if someone wanted to spy on him and came to the General's Mansion, he probably would have no place to hide.

Fang Anren patted his chest, "That's good."

"But the emperor doesn't have a few days to live. What happened to Sheng Xiuyu is a lesson. Don't these people have long memories?"

None of the rebels caught in the net ended well, and the central figures, led by Sheng Xiuyu, didn't even have a trial, and were executed immediately if they were caught.

Did they really think that the emperor would show mercy?
