Xiangfu.

Liu Chengqi closed his eyes slightly, lying on the bed, and the housekeeper Lao Li stood quietly beside him.

Liu Chengqi handed him the finished teacup, and asked calmly: "Ye Rui's people, have you said anything recently?"

"As Xiangye expected, Ye Rui wanted Xiangye to help, but was reluctant to give in. The old servant followed Xiangye's order, but returned to him when Xiangye was not available." The housekeeper Lao Li replied in a low voice.

Liu Chengqi nodded, and said: "Ye Rui is a little over his own strength. With his little talent, how to fight Ye Bo and put pressure on him is of no benefit. Besides, the emperor has been staring at us these days It's tight."

"Does Xiangye mean to see you or not?" asked the butler Lao Li.

Liu Chengqi shook his head slightly, and said, "Forget it, he didn't have enough sincerity, so he still disappeared."

"Old slave understands!" The housekeeper Lao Li nodded heavily.

……

……

Mo Xiaochuan left the palace and returned directly to the Mo Mansion. Although he knew that Ye Rui must be very anxious now and wanted to see his attitude, he was not in a hurry to see him. From Mo Xiaochuan's point of view, his behavior Too much enthusiasm may not be a good thing.

Back at Mo Mansion, Granny Lu stood in the middle of the front yard with her hands on her hips, holding a bamboo stick, and stared at the door with an angry look.

Mo Xiaochuan was taken aback: "Grandma, what are you doing?"

"I want to see when you come back, little bastard." Granny Lu said, pinching the bamboo stick.

Mo Xiaochuan looked at Situ Yuer, who was standing beside Granny Lu, seeing her smiling, couldn't help turning her eyes, and said, "Grandma, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, so I'm leaving first." , you are busy."

"Stop!" While speaking, Granny Lu strode up.

Mo Xiaochuan turned his head and jumped out of the door. As soon as he went out, a person rushed towards him and almost bumped into his arms. He stopped hurriedly, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Eunuch Chen.

Mo Xiaochuan's expression changed, and he said, "Eunuch Chen is here, what can you do?"

Eunuch Chen's complexion was also not good-looking, and he said coldly: "Our family is here to pass on the emperor's oral order. The king of Xuanchen County has come to the imperial study, Lord, the emperor wants to see you."

Granny Lu went out and frowned when she heard Eunuch Chen's words, and said, "Boy, go. I'll deal with you when I come back."

"Okay." Mo Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Grandma, then I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, he jumped on the horse again and headed towards the palace again with his soldiers.

He didn't know why Mo Zhiyuan came to him, but he just felt a little strange.

Arriving in front of the imperial study room, after Eunuch Chen reported, he retreated away.

Mo Xiaochuan stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Chen, see you Mo Xiaochuan!"

"Come in!" There was no emotion in Mo Zhiyuan's voice, it was so plain that it made people feel a little strange in their ears, it was like two people when they met before, and they hadn't seen anyone yet, just listening to the voice , This made Mo Xiaochuan a little surprised, but he also understood that what he was seeing now was the emperor, not the uncle of the day.

Pushed the door and walked in.

The furnishing of the imperial study room is relatively simple. If the era of Xiliang is arranged according to the history in Mo Xiaochuan's memory, it is almost exactly the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms sandwiched between the end of Tang Dynasty and the beginning of Song Dynasty. It is not as complicated as the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the later generations. Today's history is already different from what I remember, and many things are also very different. Besides, Xiliang is the simplest etiquette among the four kingdoms of the Central Plains. Therefore, there are not so many rules. There is no etiquette left by the Wei and Jin Dynasties that requires small steps when meeting the emperor.

Therefore, even though Mo Xiaochuan looked around, it was not considered too polite.

However, ordinary courtiers dare not do this, and he is the only one. Speaking of which, according to his status, he is Mo Zhiyuan's nephew, and he can be regarded as his own family. Withering, everyone knows that Mo Zhiyuan attaches great importance to family affection, the Xiliang royal family is like a commoner family, and Mo Zhiyuan rarely calls himself "I" in front of his family.

Looking at the imperial study room in front of him, which was quite different from what he had imagined, Mo Xiaochuan couldn't help but take a second look.

Mo Zhiyuan lowered his head to review the memorial, and after a while, he raised his head, glanced at Mo Xiaochuan, and said, "Do you think it's too shabby?"

Mo Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "No, I just didn't expect the emperor to be more thrifty than the rumors. I only heard about it in Yan State before, but now I saw it with my own eyes, and I was a little surprised."

Mo Zhiyuan lowered his head again and continued to read his memorial, and said casually: "It's only been over a year since I came back, and I have learned the unhealthy tendencies in the officialdom."

Mo Xiaochuan smiled wryly, and said: "I just express my feelings, and I don't mean to be perfunctory."

"En!" Mo Zhiyuan hummed lightly, then put Mo Xiaochuan aside, and stopped talking.

Mo Xiaochuan stood there alone. He couldn't hear Mo Zhiyuan's words for a long time, and he couldn't ask questions, so he looked left and right, and saw a map hanging on the screen beside him. The various power standards are very detailed.

It's just that on the map of Yan Kingdom, there is an extra line, which seems to be drawn later, from Shangjing to Yanjing, the capital of Yan Kingdom.

Looking at this line, Mo Xiaochuan was full of doubts. Could it be that Mo Zhiyuan is going to use troops against Yan?

He was a little surprised.

After a while, when Mo Xiaochuan was in a trance, Mo Zhiyuan suddenly asked, "What did you see?"

Mo Xiaochuan took a deep breath and said, "No."

"Any ideas?" Mo Zhiyuan asked again.

Mo Xiaochuan thought for a while, and said, "The emperor really wants the minister to speak?"

"Bluntly!" Mo Zhiyuan raised his head, looked at Mo Xiaochuan and said.

Mo Xiaochuan nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Since that's the case, I'll just say it straight. Doesn't the emperor want to use troops directly to attack the capital of the Yan Kingdom?"

Mo Zhiyuan smiled slightly, did not speak, just looked at him, meaning to continue.

Mo Xiaochuan said again: "If this is the case, I don't think so."

"Why?" Mo Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"Although Yan State is the poorest country among the four countries in the Central Plains, the army of Yan State is not the weakest among the four countries. In the past, Yan State fought many battles with us in Xiliang. Xiliang didn't take advantage of anything. Therefore, I think that now is not the best time to use troops against Yan." Mo Xiaochuan glanced at Mo Zhiyuan as he spoke, and seeing that his face was normal, he continued: " Even if the emperor uses troops against the country of Yan, he should not take Yanjing directly. Let’s not talk about whether our people can reach the city of Yanjing. Come down. If there is a stalemate, when their reinforcements arrive, our people will face the danger of going deep alone, and people will make dumplings under Yanjing City, and we will definitely be eaten by then."

"Dumplings made?" Mo Zhiyuan recalled this sentence, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, this sentence is very appropriate. But, why do you think that our Xiliang army can't attack the capital of Yan Kingdom? "

Hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, could it be that Mo Zhiyuan had some special thoughts?
