Stunning weapon

() Youzhou City.

In the palace, the old emperor was lying on the sickbed, and Mei Shichang was standing beside him. Today, Empress Xia Chuling did not stay by the bedside. As for why, Mei Shichang didn't think about it, let alone ask.However, since the emperor called him to his side, it could be seen that he had something important to discuss with him alone, so he waited quietly without saying much.

The emperor looked at Mei Shichang for a long time, and then said softly: "Mei Qing, you were still a merchant before I ascended the throne, so I knew that your talent is not only for business, but also for your ability to govern the country. Under Fang Xin, the ability to lead soldiers is unique in my country of Yan. It's a pity that the aristocratic family controls it, and sometimes I can't do anything, I can only let you guard the northern border." ..

"I have always been grateful for your majesty's kindness. I am a merchant. Although I have the heart to serve the country, I don't have the door to serve the country. It is your majesty who gave me the opportunity. However, over the years, I have not done anything for you in northern Xinjiang. His Majesty took back the lost land, and he felt ashamed when he mentioned this." Mei Shichang couldn't help saying when he heard the emperor mention the past.

The emperor raised his hand, waved it lightly, and said, "It's not your fault. Yan's ills are not just about military affairs. With Mei Qing's ability, she must have already understood this point. I won't More to say, this time you were secretly transferred back to the capital, what you did is related to the survival of the Yan Kingdom. Therefore, even after I die, I hope Mei Qing will not give up."

"I obey the order." Mei Shichang nodded.

"The two brothers, I don't know who to choose." The emperor was a little stunned, and said: "Actually, although the officials don't say it now, they must also feel that I took the throne from the hands of the emperor's younger brother." ..." ..

"Your Majesty is too worried." Mei Shichang said.

The emperor shook his head and said: "It's okay, I admit this. Although the emperor is very intelligent, he has a high understanding. It's a pity that he is too obsessed with literature and martial arts, completely disregarding his status as a prince, and ruining the way of governing the country Yes. When I saw Mo Zhiyuan's younger sister on the battlefield, I didn't even think about it. I was addicted to a woman and was trapped by love. Such a person cannot be a good emperor. Therefore, I took his throne away Come here, I have never regretted it. If I hadn't done this back then, I'm afraid Yan Guo would have forgotten it. This is why our uncle always knew that I was a usurper, but he ignored it. Because he I also know what will happen after the emperor's younger brother ascends the throne."

Mei Shichang didn't want to say anything more about such royal affairs, as the emperor was talking, he just listened quietly and didn't intervene.

The emperor also understood Mei Shichang's character, took a look at him, smiled wryly, and said: "I made a precedent back then, and now my sons are also fighting endlessly for the throne, and even brother-in-law. This is also retribution."

Mei Shichang still did not speak.

The emperor said again: "So, I have thought about it carefully, and I don't care about the affairs between their brothers. If they want to fight, let them fight. As long as the foundation of the country is not endangered, let them go."

Mei Shichang looked at the tired look on the emperor's face, sighed slightly, and said: "It's important for the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, don't think too much about it."

"I don't want to think about it, but there are some things that I can't help myself." The emperor shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that if things are like this, I don't have much time to think about it. So , I will entrust Mei Qing with the rest." After finishing speaking, the emperor took out a piece of yellow cloth from under the quilt, and handed it to Mei Shichang.

Mei Shichang took it with both hands and glanced at the emperor.The emperor nodded slightly, and then he started to look at it. After seeing it, he was startled suddenly, and hurriedly knelt down.

The emperor waved his hand lightly, and said: "There is no other day here, so those empty etiquettes are avoided. In fact, sometimes, I miss the time when we met very much. At that time, you didn't know my identity. Sit down and have a good chat. But it’s not working now. You are too strict, and I can’t persuade you. I don’t care about you, but don’t pay so much attention to etiquette today. I just want to tell you say."

Mei Shichang was a little excited, carefully put the yellow cloth into his arms, nodded, and said: "I understand. Your Majesty trusts me so much, and my death is not enough to repay me. This makes me..."

"Okay, don't talk about that. Sit down and talk." The emperor pointed to the chair beside him.

Mei Shichang went over, moved a chair to the side of the bed, and sat down.

Then the emperor said again: "This secret decree is for you. I hope that one day you won't need him. However, if it's time to use it, Mei Qing must promise me that she will never be soft-hearted."

Mei Shichang nodded vigorously, his slightly chubby body was straightened at the moment, and when he nodded, the folds rolled up on his neck seemed unusually neat.

……

In Ye Yi's mansion, Ye Yi has been a little restless these past few days. The people he sent out have not sent back any news for several days. He also knew about Ye Bo's sending people to leave, so he felt a little Nervous, looking for someone to discuss.But he didn't tell Mu Guang about the fact that he sent people to chase and kill Mo Xiaochuan, and it's not easy to show off at this moment, so he went to tell Mu Guang.

After drinking alone in the room for a long time, he finally couldn't sit still, got up and walked towards Mu Guang's room, however, he met Mu Guang on the way.Ye Yi couldn't help being surprised, and said, "Mr. Mu, what do you want?"

"This subordinate is going to look for you." Mu Guang was also taken aback.

Ye Yi looked at Mu Guang, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then, please come to my room, Mr. Mu."

Mu Guang nodded, followed Ye Yi to Ye Yi's room, before he sat down, Mu Guang asked, "Did the lord send someone to chase Mo Xiaochuan again?"

Mu Guang was so direct, Ye Yi didn't react for a moment, paused for a moment, and then asked, "How did Mr. Mu know?"

Mu Guang shook his head and said: "The prince's movements are too abnormal, so this makes the subordinates a little worried. That's why I want to confirm with the prince."

"Oh?" About Ye Bo, this is exactly what Ye Yi wanted to hear at the moment. Hearing what Mu Guang said, he nodded slightly and said, "To tell the truth, Mr. Mu, I have some personal grievances against Mo Xiaochuan not only because of my position." , therefore, did not hold back."

Mu Guang shook his head and sighed, "That's it. What the prince should do is not what I should say, but I still can't help but want to remind the prince that you are a person who does great things. No It should be because of personal grievances that have affected my judgment."

Ye Yi was very happy that Mu Guang could say this, because it proved that Mu Guang had sincerely trusted him. If not, he would be deeply afraid of offending himself. If so, he would definitely not say it.Immediately, he said: "Mr. Mu's lesson is that I am a little impulsive. Earlier, Mr. Mu said that Ye Bo was a little abnormal. What is going on?"

"Recently, the response from the prince's mansion has been too calm. Although someone came back to report that the prince would still go to the garden to enjoy the flowers every day, no one saw him nearby, and they all saw him from a distance. Reminiscent of the past, the prince always If he doesn't go out in the prince's mansion, the subordinates are thinking, is he just trying to hide it from others, in fact, he has already prepared when he will go to do things in person, so that others will think he is still in the mansion?" Mu Guang said, He looked at Ye Yi.

Ye Yi lowered his head, thought about it carefully, opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and said, "Mr. Mu, what you mean is that Ye Bo has personally led someone to chase Mo Xiaochuan now? He just found someone to pretend to be him." , so that I can feel at ease?"

Mu Guang nodded slightly, and said, "This is what my subordinates guessed."

"If that's the case..." Ye Yi frowned, turned his head hastily, and said, "Come here..."

After calling someone, Ye Yi ordered to go to the prince's mansion at any cost to confirm whether the prince was indeed in the mansion.

Seeing Ye Yi like this, Mu Guang nodded in satisfaction.At this moment, both Ye Bo and Ye Yi are determined to win Mo Xiaochuan. Mu Guang has thought a lot about how to help Mo Xiaochuan, but he has no idea. At this moment, the best way he can think of is to let the two brothers Let's fight first, this may buy some time for Mo Xiaochuan, but Mu Guang doesn't know that Ye Bo has already started his purge operation at this moment, and the battle between the two brothers has long been in sight...
