After the first fool

Chapter 152 The Worsening Situation

Early the next morning, Mo Xiaoran stuffed the letter into Xiaozhu's hand, and said with a solemn expression: "You find a chance and see if you can send the letter."

Xiao Zhu didn't know what was in the letter, so he asked suspiciously, "Where do you want to send it?"

"Heavenly Prison, in Bai Mo's hands." Mo Xiaoran said with a serious expression on her face.

Xiaozhu hissed coldly: "What? Miss, how do I send the servant?"

"If you don't want me to have something to do, you should quickly find a way to send the letter secretly, understand?" Mo Xiaoran is the only one she can rely on now. She could have just let Qingfeng do it for her, but carefully Thinking about it, Bai Qingluo's identity is unknown, and no one knows what role he is playing in this bureau. Even if Mo Xiaoran believes in him, she can never entrust such an important thing to him.

After all, there is still an invisible gap between the two of them, at least Mo Xiaoran can't give him [-]% trust, and he is the same.

Xiaozhu could only nod her head in agreement, but there are always imperial guards guarding outside Fengqi Palace, how could she send the letter out silently?

At noon, the maid in charge of delivering lunch came slowly along the path with a rosewood lunch box, and the imperial guards let her in. At the arched moon gate, Xiaozhu trotted down the steps, Reaching out to take the lunch box, he whispered a word of thanks: "Thank you, I will trouble you to make a trip."

"No, this servant just did what it was supposed to do." The slightly familiar voice made Xiao Zhu raise his head suddenly, but when he saw the person in front of him, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Ah Luo? How could you help the imperial dining room?" Meal delivery?" Didn't she serve Mei Chang by her side?

A Luo smiled wryly, "Mei Changzai didn't like my combing skills, so she just found a reason to relegate me to the imperial dining room, Xiao Zhu, not everyone has such a good life as you," she raised her head, her eyes Youyou, looking in the direction of Fengqi Palace: "You are really lucky to meet such a master."

There was a hint of envy in the words, and with a sarcastic smile, A Luo was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Hey! Wait." Xiao Zhu stopped her suddenly, quietly took out the letter from her sleeve, and stuffed it into A Luo's hand: "Do me a favor, send it to the prison, and give it to the regent " After that, she squeezed A Luo's hand, with a little pleading in her eyes.

"I can only try." A Luo put away the secret letter with his backhand, nodded solemnly, and trotted away.

Xiao Zhu completed Mo Xiaoran's orders, and was in a good mood, carrying the lunch box back to the palace, calling out: "Miss, lunch is ready."

"Are you in a good mood?" Mo Xiaoran asked in a deep voice with a hint of exhaustion on her brows.

"Of course." Xiaozhu chuckled, leaned into Mo Xiaoran's ear, and whispered, "I've already sent the letter secretly."

"So fast?" Mo Xiaoran's eyes widened in surprise. She was already prepared that the secret letter would not be delivered, but she didn't expect to send it away overnight?
"Yeah, I met A Luo just now, the lady in the palace who had kindness to her on a whim last time." Does this count as retaliation?As long as you do good deeds, you will always get good results?
Mo Xiaoran thought for a long time and didn't remember who A Luo was, but as long as the letter was delivered, she would be relieved.

It's a pity that Mo Xiaoran's heart seemed to be relieved too early. On the day Bai Mo was imprisoned in the prison, countless white pigeons flew to the border. There were 80 lions stationed on the four sides of the border, all of them were soldiers under Bai Mo's command. The military generals in the court couldn't bear to see Bai Mo being charged with unwarranted crimes, so they strongly recommended and pleaded for Bai Mo, but Bai Zixu had made up his mind and rejected their request directly. gather.

"Old man Ge, I think that when I followed the prince to quell the war on the southern border, Bai Zixu was still a prince! Now it's good, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. I think the prince will be brought down when he grows up. Such an emperor , I refuse to accept it!" A military general said angrily, and when he mentioned Bai Zixu, he didn't have the slightest respect for the emperor.

"As long as the prince says a word, my Zhou Jie's life can be lost for the prince at any time! But," another general sighed faintly: "The prince is voluntary, so what if we say more? The prince can't see it at all. No, even if the prince knows that Bai Zixu wants to kill him and get rid of him, the prince will still die!"

"No! You must not watch the prince die."

"Let's go against it!" An elderly lieutenant general said surprisingly, but one sentence aroused the approval of many brave generals present, "Yes! Go against it! Bai Zixu is not worthy of being an emperor at all. In order to save the prince, we can only The sword goes sideways."

"Yes, rescue the prince!"

"Rescue the prince!"

……

A sudden change came without warning. In the early morning of the second day, the documents were urgently sent to the imperial city at eight hundred miles away from the border. In the early morning, Bai Zixu was sitting on the dragon chair, and more than half of the generals headed by Bai Mo were sick. Asking for leave and refusing to go to court, Bai Zixu didn't care, and even gave Grace a special favor, allowing these generals to recuperate at home, and when he recovered from his illness, he would go to court again.

"Your Majesty, several generals are getting old, and now they are sick again and again. All departments of the court can't be left alone forever." The prime minister was overjoyed when he saw this. Enduring the joy in his heart, he walked out of the queue and spoke to Bai Zixu.

"Oh?" Bai Zixu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then according to the Prime Minister's intention, what should be done?"

"The veteran thinks that some newly promoted officials should be mentioned to make up for the vacancies and stabilize the foundation of the court. Now there are many vacancies in the Six Departments. Your Majesty, the veteran..."

"Report—" Before Mo Qing finished his impassioned words, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the hall. He was so anxious that he didn't even care about waiting for the emperor's call, and entered the hall without authorization.

"Presumptuous!" Li Quan stood behind Bai Zixu, and said in a cold voice, "How can you be a slave in the court to make noise?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Bai Zixu's eyes, "Go down and get twenty boards by yourself, so as to make an example to others."

"Your Majesty, slave...the slave has something important to report." The eunuch said out of breath, the sweat on his face was like beads from a broken thread, and fell down desperately, "The urgent document at the border gate, please The emperor has a look."

"A document at the border?" Bai Zixu's heart twitched, with a faint sense of foreboding. Li Quan stepped down from the high platform, took the document from the eunuch, and handed it to Bai Zixu respectfully. He opened it and saw his handsome face. With a swipe of the ground, the blood faded away, the body trembled slightly, the fingers holding the document were almost white, and he murmured: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

He threw the document on the ground violently, his chest was heaving due to the anger, his face was so pale that there was no blood in it, his lips moved up and down, but he couldn't say a word, his eyes trembled, he was panicked, stunned, and unbelievable.

Seeing his appearance, Mo Qing hurriedly bent down to pick up the document, took a closer look, and suddenly, his whole body was struck by lightning, "Impossible!"

The troops stationed on the borders of the southeast, the northwest, and the four sides urgently mobilized soldiers last night, preparing to set off towards the imperial city in the near future to save the regent, the Qing emperor!
"I don't believe it!" Bai Zixu slapped heavily on the armrest of the dragon chair, his dark eyes stared like copper bells, glaring at the officials below, "Tell me, it's not true."

His soldiers, his army, are going against him?

The ministers whispered among themselves, it was nothing else, they were their own soldiers, their own soldiers, now that Xuanyuan and Lan Yu were staring at each other, could it be that they want their own people to fight their own people?

Liao Ke's eyes flickered slightly, he took a deep breath, and Liao Pao knelt down: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing to delay now is to appease the rioting soldiers. If the 80 troops march northward, they can reach home in less than three months." Come to the door."

"Comfort?" Bai Zixu shook his head, as if he had found the backbone, and forced himself to calm down, he couldn't be messed up!He is the king of a country, he cannot panic!Suppressing all the turbulent emotions in his heart, Bai Zixu sat back on the dragon chair, his expression had returned to normal, but his hands that were clenched on the armrests were full of veins, "My dear friends, how do you say how to appease this man?" A full 80 troops?"

This……

Many ministers turned their heads to discuss. As soon as Bai Mo was imprisoned, the border was in chaos. It seemed that the regent could not move, but didn't this also prove that if the emperor wanted to sit firmly on the throne, he had to be removed?

In the final analysis, this time, it was due to lack of careful planning and reckless actions. He hastily sent Bai Mo into the dungeon, which caused a counterattack from the border soldiers. Many accusing eyes were fixed on Prime Minister Mo Qing. They did not forget that the previous In the two days in the court, who participated in the book of the regent, and who, with his own strength, sent the regent to the prison.

Although Bai Zixu contributed to this, who would dare to talk about the emperor?

"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister is not a stupid person, so he naturally thought of this. If Bai Mo is relieved, then he will have to endure countless people's spurning and scolding, and he will be famous all over the world. A trace of determination flashed in Mo Qing's eyes: "You see As soon as the regent was imprisoned, there was a riot at the border. Isn't this because the regent supported his own troops? If not, how could there be a whole army of 80, who were loyal and loyal even when the dragons were leaderless, and did not hesitate to leave the border to come to rescue the regent? Your Majesty , if the regent is released this time, although a riot can be temporarily avoided, the consequences will be to boost the prestige of others, and the consequences will be disastrous."

The prime minister said earnestly that he must not let Bai Zixu release the white ink. Now, Mo Qing is caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

"Prime Minister, what you said is wrong," Liao Ke suddenly said with a slightly sarcastic tone, looked at Mo Qing, and retorted: "You mean, you want the emperor to suppress the 80 army, and waste money and people?" Now that the two countries are ambitious, if there is another civil war in the country at this time, the two countries will send troops at that time, and the two countries will be attacked internally and externally, how will Dongyao survive the danger?" After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground and begged the emperor to release Bai Mo: "Your Majesty, only Let go of the regent first, and then we can calm down the fighting and prevent people from being ruined."

"Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable..."

"Your Majesty, what Lord Liao said is the most correct..."

"emperor……"

"emperor……"

Many officials picked their own side, and finally the ball was kicked to Bai Zixu, should he let it go or not?To fight or not to fight?
Hearing the ministers' buzzing and arguing, Bai Zixu could only feel the devil's voice ringing in his ears, and he coldly shouted annoyedly: "Enough!"

He needs to be calm. At this time, he can't take a wrong step.

Putting his palms on the armrests of the dragon chair, he slowly raised his body. Bai Zixu's handsome face was full of exhaustion. He needed to calm down and think carefully about how to deal with this matter.

If there is a war, the treasury is empty and the troops are insufficient, how can they compete with Bai Mo's 80 cavalry?
If there is no fight and Bai Mo is released, he will definitely sit on the side of the emperor's bed again in the future, how can he allow others to snore?

It wasn't just Bai Zixu who was annoyed, the prime minister was also very anxious. Now, it was as if a knife was on his neck. If he moved a little, blood would splatter three feet and his head would move.

How to do?
Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mo Qing locked himself in the study for a whole day, and didn't even come out for dinner.

He underestimated Bai Mo's prestige in the barracks, and his ability, God of War!This taboo is by no means something ordinary people can afford. Just being in prison can cause border riots. If one day, Bai Mo really embraces his own self-respect and establishes himself as king, wouldn't there be nearly a million people who will flock to him to take the throne?Responding to all calls?

The court was in chaos like a pot of porridge. Soldiers who set out from the borders on all sides at the same time, divided into four groups, rushed towards the imperial city. They held up the banner of Dongyao, and they were about to attack Dongyao's palace!
How ironic, how sad?
