The king behind the empress

Chapter 29 The Silly Prince
On Dongchang's side, although Mo Zizai had gathered enough manpower, he couldn't do anything about weapons and armor.

Although Dazhou did not control weapons and armor, it is not easy to gather more than 500 sets of armor.

So I can only go to the Ministry of Industry for this matter, and the weapons and armor of the Ministry of Industry will be registered and compiled. With Mo Zizai's current status, if he goes to the Ministry of Industry, he will want [-] sets of armor. It is already very polite to blast out.

Fortunately, among the six ministries of the imperial court, the Ministry of Industry was one of the departments most loyal to the empress. As long as the empress approved it, five hundred sets of armor would naturally not be a problem.

Therefore, after Mo Zizai finished arranging the affairs of the East Factory, he took advantage of the night to go to Shangyang Palace.

Anyway, the bed there is big enough to sleep him without any problem, not to mention there are two delicious girls waiting for him, so it would be foolish not to go.

……

Just when Mo Zizai was rushing to the palace, a hidden guest came to the mansion of Du Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

At this point, Du Xing was going to sleep, but he heard a servant say that there was a guest visiting, which made him feel a little strange, knowing that there is a curfew in the capital, who would visit him at this time?
Du Xing sat in the pavilion last time, brewed a pot of tea for himself, and put two cups on the table at the same time. No matter what the visitor has, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can come out at this point .

Not long after Duchenne's tea was brewed, a man with a black hood wrapped tightly around himself came to the yard.

"Master Du is really in a good mood."

Hearing the voice of the visitor, Du Xing couldn't help being slightly startled, then he waved his hand to screen the servants away, and then said to the visitor: "Master Hu doesn't sleep at this point, and he hides his head and shows his tail to visit this old man, what's the important thing?" ?”

"As officials in the same dynasty, it is reasonable to visit each other. Why do you hide your head and show your tail?"

As he said that, the person Du Xing called Mr. Hu took off his hood, sat in front of Du Xing and said indifferently: "I just don't want people to see it, and it just adds some criticism."

"Ah."

Du Xing chuckled, and sneered at Mr. Hu's reasons. He still wore a hood when he visited late at night, and said that he was not hiding his head and showing his tail.

However, he did not hold on to this matter. The Master Hu in front of him is Hu Xiaosheng, the servant of the household department. Although he is not in the same way as him, he must have something to discuss with him at this moment, so there is no need for him Abusive words towards each other.

"Master Hu, if you have something to say, just say it, the old man is in a bad mood these two days, and I don't want to go around in circles with you."

"Hehe." Hu Xiaosheng chuckled, and then said a very impolite sentence, "Looking at Mr. Du's appearance, are you sad about your son's death?"

"What does Mr. Hu mean?"

Hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing's face suddenly sank, he looked at Hu Xiaosheng coldly, and said: "Are you here to amuse the old man?"

"Master Du, don't get me wrong, I, Hu, am not such an impolite person."

Seeing that Du Xing was angry, Hu Xiaosheng explained a sentence in a calm manner, and then said: "I came this time to ask my lord, Aizi was killed, are you really going to swallow your anger like this?"

Hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing's face became even more gloomy. If he could take revenge, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until Hu Xiaosheng came to mock him now.

But with the empress protecting him, he couldn't help Mo Zizai at all. He asked his officials to collectively impeach Mo Zizai and kill people in the street.

But when she was in the cabinet today, when the empress saw these memorials, she didn't care about his attitude at all. She just said lightly that it was legal for Mo Zizai to fight back against Wang Jia in self-defense, so she exposed the matter. past.

Any fool can see that she is deliberately favoring Mo Zizai, but what can he do, he can't send someone to assassinate Mo Zizai in the street.

Seeing that Du Xing was silent, Hu Xiaosheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's really good tea."

After finishing speaking, Hu Xiaosheng looked at Du Xing and said lightly: "Master Du, do you think one mountain can accommodate two tigers?"

Hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't make an intermediate statement, but said in a deep voice: "What does Mr. Hu mean by this?"

"Master Du, let's open the skylight and speak plainly."

Seeing that Du Xing was still pretending to be stupid, Hu Xiaosheng directly put down his teacup, and said unabashedly: "We have dealt with this Majesty for three years, and I believe Lord Du can also see that our Majesty is very respectful to the court. The desire to control is extremely strong, and she wants to intervene in everything big and small."

"Not only that, in order to control our so-called old party, she even did not hesitate to marry the former prince. It can be said that she spent a lot of money."

"But Mr. Du, have you considered how our former prince is feeling now?"

When Hu Xiaosheng said this, he changed the subject and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Let's not say that the throne that should have been inherited by him has been taken away by others, but now he still wants to use him to build an archway. Do you think we think too much of ourselves?" Prince Gao, can you really accept it?"

When he mentioned the word Prince, Hu Xiaosheng's tone was full of disdain. Obviously, he had dealt with Mo Zizai before, and he didn't think much of Mo Zizai at all.

"So what if you can accept it, so what if you can't accept it."

Du Xing's mood had returned to calm at this time, and he said in a calm tone: "Now that the two of you are getting married soon, and they are going to sit together in the same country, haven't you heard that the crown prince has already stayed in the palace overnight?" ?”

"Hehe, sitting in the same country." Hu Xiaosheng sneered, and said, "Master Du, that prince is already stupid, that's why he believed such nonsense. You wouldn't be so stupid, would you?"

"That woman just wanted to use the crown prince's name to find an excuse to clean up our old party that didn't belong to us. When our old party is finished, do you believe that the idiot of the crown prince is the one who died the worst."

"For the sake of the throne, even father and son brothers can kill each other, let alone husband and wife."

After hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing didn't open his mouth to refute, because he also thought so in his heart. He felt that the Empress hadn't moved the old party in the past few years. The old party has been playing the banner of the late emperor all these years.

Because the throne was abdicated by the first emperor to the empress, if the empress took care of those old officials who were loyal to the first emperor, it would be easy to leave a bad reputation of revenge.

But now it's different, if the empress married Mo Zizai, then the empress could completely use the name of Mo Zizai, and even let Mo Zizai clean up those old ministers by himself, if this is the case, then no one can say anything.

Therefore, no matter in the eyes of Hu Xiaosheng or Du Xing, the empress is a person with a strong desire for power and a lot of scheming.

　I forgot to mention, now is the recommendation period, although I don't know if it is useful, but I still hope that everyone can vote for it and support it, thank you all.
