Stunning weapon

() In the quiet room, Mo Xiaochuan's expression was already slightly agitated, and there were tiny beads of sweat on his face, which was pretending to be calm. Even the hand holding the teacup was squeezed extremely tightly. Controlling himself desperately, he was afraid that the teacup had already been broken into pieces under his fingernails.

Liu Chengqi's heart was like a violent storm, with rough waves, but there was a smile on his face, which could not be seen at all.

Compared with the city government, Liu Chengqi is naturally a top figure, these are his brother Liu Jingting who is far behind, Mo Xiaochuan is just a young and vigorous boy, the gap with Liu Chengqi in this respect can be said to be very different, there is no comparison at all .

Mo Xiaochuan himself understood this point, so his words were already sharp.

Liu Chengqi didn't seem to hear the thorn in Mo Xiaochuan's words, his face was still very calm, and he said: "These are just chats, the truth and the prince will only meet once, but they are in the court, and they don't speak. Opportunity, although today is the second meeting, but the first time I have spoken, please forgive me if I have said anything too much." . .

Liu Chengqi spoke politely, but he was already very excited at the moment. Mo Xiaochuan would never lack women, but he and Yingying were clearly not just uncles and siblings. Liu Chengqi was not sure about this matter at first. Such a reaction is confirmed.

Hearing Liu Chengqi's words, Mo Xiaochuan suddenly became polite, and was slightly startled in his heart, knowing that he had been provoked by Liu Chengqi earlier, and had leaked something, but now, there is no need to cover up too much, to fulfill what he said before, otherwise it would be even more so here No silver 300 taels.

He let go of the hand holding the teacup, squeezed his joints lightly, leaned back on the chair, tried to relax himself a bit, and said: "Master Liu is so motivating to 'invite' this king. Come on, I'm afraid it's not just talking about these commonplace things? If Master Liu has something to say, just say it straight, why bother to babble..."

Liu Chengqi smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, there is nothing serious, I just want to find a quiet place to talk to the prince."

Mo Xiaochuan smiled softly, stood up, raised his hand to pinch the back of the chair, and with a little force, the chair suddenly rotated 180 degrees. Then, he rode on the chair carelessly, put his hands on the top of the back of the chair, and put his chin on the back of his hand Putting it aside, he looked curious and said: "It's very quiet here, but I don't know what the word 'talking' in Liu Xiangye's mouth is. I need to find such a quiet place. I remember that Xiliang doesn't seem to have such a high mountain. , Moreover, these days in Xiliang should have been quite cool, even a little cold. But it is still so warm here, I am afraid it is not the land of Xiliang? Liu Xiangye has not been too late to work hard, and unexpectedly left Shangjing to come here to speak to the king Talking, this makes me a little flattered. I am also curious, so Liu Xiangye should speak quickly."

Liu Chengqi didn't care about the sarcasm in Mo Xiaochuan's words. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down very lightly, as if he was afraid of shocking something. It's nothing serious, but if it falls into the ears of others, it will be serious. The prince should also know that if you and I meet and talk freely in Xiliang like this, even if we only talk about flowers, plants, fish and insects , it will also be spread unbearably, not to mention the truth is not intended to only talk about flowers and birds."

Mo Xiaochuan stared with a smile, but his smile was a bit artificial, his face was also stiff, he did it deliberately for Liu Chengqi to see.Moreover, he didn't take Liu Chengqi's words, but just waited.

Seeing him like this, Liu Chengqi didn't pause too much, and continued: "My lord has been in Yan Kingdom for nearly half a year, and I'm afraid I don't know what happened in Beijing." Liu Chengqi said, seeing that Mo Xiaochuan was unmoved, he went on Added a sentence: "Especially the things in the palace."

Sure enough, Mo Xiaochuan became interested, and blurted out, "What happened in the palace?"

"It seems that the prince really doesn't know!" Liu Chengqi shook his head slightly, and said: "Actually, it's no wonder that there are not many people in the capital who know about this matter, let alone the prince is in the country of Yan. "

"What's the matter?" Mo Xiaochuan asked anxiously.

"Actually, it's nothing serious!" Liu Chengqi stroked his beard that didn't look old at all with a smile, and said, "There was a fire in the palace, and the prince's bedroom was burned."

"Prince's bedroom?" Mo Xiaochuan couldn't help opening his eyes wide, and said, "When did this happen? Are there any casualties?"

"This has been going on for several months. According to the news from the palace, it was just because a few young eunuchs neglected their duties, played around in the palace, and accidentally lit a fire. These two eunuchs have been executed. Because they were discovered in time , the prince is safe and sound, only a few court ladies died." Liu Chengqi said: "However, this matter is a bit strange."

"What's so strange?" Mo Xiaochuan asked.

"Although it was discovered in time, the fire was not saved, and the Tai's womb was burned to the ground." Liu Chengqi said.

"There is such a thing?" Mo Xiaochuan frowned, and said: "Even if it is discovered later, most of them should be saved. Besides, the guards in the palace are so strict, how could the prince's bedroom be burned down without anyone finding out?" If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be a fire from the inside. But the prince is seriously ill, the emperor has already issued an order not to allow anyone to approach, how did the two little eunuchs enter the palace to play, are they impatient? There are so many loopholes, how can people believe that what Liu Xiangye said was a joke?"

Naturally, the news from the palace would not be so full of loopholes. However, Liu Chengqi deliberately wanted Mo Xiaochuan to ask questions, so he said this with embellishment. Seeing that Mo Xiaochuan really questioned him, he couldn't help but feel a little Satisfied, not only because Mo Xiaochuan said what he said according to his expected result, but more importantly, even if he added fuel and vinegar, if he were an ordinary person, he would not think so meticulously, and the loopholes in it would not be so detailed. As soon as he mentioned it, for some reason, seeing Mo Xiaochuan's excellence now, he felt a little happy in his heart. This kind of feeling was also a wonderful thing for Liu Chengqi, but he concealed it very well, or Said that it has become Liu Chengqi's habit not to bring the emotions in his heart to the surface.

Liu Chengqi smiled, and said: "I think so too, so I sent someone to investigate."

"What was the result?" Mo Xiaochuan asked again.

Liu Chengqi said: "It's hard to say what the result will be, but I haven't found out where the crown prince was transferred. There must be something strange about it."

"What Liu Xiangye means is that the prince..." Mo Xiaochuan said this, but did not go any further.

Liu Chengqi smiled softly, and said: "As ministers, we should not consider this kind of thing. We only went to investigate the truth out of curiosity. Now that we think about it, it's unnecessary. It really shouldn't be."

Mo Xiaochuan secretly scolded Liu Chengqi's hypocrisy in his heart, but he couldn't point it out, he just said: "So, is Liu Xiangye going to tell this king about this?"

Liu Chengqi nodded slightly, and said: "Besides, I also want to know what the prince plans to do next?"

"I just want to leave here and go back to Xiliang. I don't know if Master Liu will allow it or not?" Mo Xiaochuan said with a chuckle.

"This is the prince's own business, the prince's decision. The real question is, what will the prince plan to do if he goes back? The prince should know that the prince is sick. If he can't manage the country, then the prince will be..." Liu Chengqi Speaking of this, the sound of coughing covered up the rest of the words, and then said: "If the prince has any ideas, the truth can help."

"What does Xiangye Liu mean? I just want to be a happy prince. How dare I think about other things." Mo Xiaochuan shook his head with a smile.

"If the prince's ambition is only here, why bother to come to Yan Kingdom?" Liu Chengqi said bluntly.

"Interesting." Mo Xiaochuan smiled, and answered a little rascally.

"What an interest." Liu Chengqi also laughed out loud, and said: "Since that's the case, let me tell you the truth. If the prince intends to be the crown prince, the truth will definitely support it with all my strength."

Mo Xiaochuan didn't expect Liu Chengqi to be so direct, and hesitated for a while. Being a prince sounds very majestic, and he is really interested. However, this kind of interest can only be thought in his heart and acted upon. If so, it will cost a lot.However, Liu Chengqi had already talked about this, and Mo Xiaochuan was also a little curious about what he was going to do, so he asked, "What does Xiangye Liu mean?"

Liu Chengqi smiled and said, "Isn't the truth not clear enough?"

Mo Xiaochuan said: "Then, why did Xiangye Liu help me? We don't seem to have any friendship. Moreover, there are still many misunderstandings between Mr. Ling and I..."

Liu Chengqi nodded, and said: "Indeed, the real minister and the prince are not old friends, but if he can help the prince to the throne, the real minister is at least a meritorious service, which is enough."

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "As far as I know, when the current emperor ascended the throne, Mr. Liu Xiangye was regarded as the meritorious service of the dragon, would he still value this?"

"Since the lord has already said so, the truth is not going around in circles, so I just said it straight. The Liu family has gone through three dynasties, and I have reached the top of my official position. If I want to go further, I can only become like Fang Xin of Yan Kingdom. Aristocratic family. This is also my lifelong wish. However, the current emperor will obviously not allow such a thing to happen, and I can only pin my hopes on the next emperor." Liu Chengqi said, with a lot of emotion on his face, a face There seems to be infinite yearning.

This made Mo Xiaochuan feel a little puzzled. Is this what Liu Chengqi wants?
