116, Dealing with Zhong Qingye on behalf of the prince
Qi Mo shrugged, showing an unprecedented provocative expression, and Zhong Qingye turned around and left angrily, showing a smile in a good mood.【】
The door was slammed with a loud bang, and the thick door panel hit the door frame hard, making an earth-shattering sound, as if to indicate the extreme unhappy mood of others. The sun was warm, and there was a faint dust flying in the light.
"Your Majesty..."
Not long after Zhong Qingye left, a figure swayed slightly behind the screen and walked out gently. The corners of his robe were embroidered with a purple flying eagle, which was the unique symbol of the Five Eagles.
Qi Mo didn't even look at Ziying. He tilted his head back slightly and rested his head on the small cushion behind the soft chair. He suppressed his smile and asked lightly: "How was the investigation?"
Ziying slowly walked out of the darkness, with a habitual indifference on his clear-cut face. Even when facing Qi Mo, he did not restrain himself at all, as if he should be like this.
"All the secret sentries we sent to the southern region have been destroyed, and only one survived."
"Oh?" Qi Mo responded slightly. Ziying continued knowingly: "But according to the news we have received so far, the Moon Worship Sect has indeed undergone major changes. Styx has died and the new leader has successfully ascended the throne."
"What about your identity?"
"It has not been found out." Ziying replied very frankly: "This person's identity is well hidden. We have no clues to find out at all."
Qi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, half-leaning on the cushions as lazily as a fox, thought for a while, and said slowly: "What else?"
Ziying frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt between his eyebrows: "One more thing, we found that the Moon Worshiping Sect seems to be preparing to leave the Southern Territory, but the specific situation cannot be ascertained, and their destination is unknown."
"Come on, after two years of no contact, you can't figure out your opponent's background." Qi Mo said calmly, without any unnecessary emotion in his tone, but Ziying knew that the prince was very dissatisfied.
Ziying lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
Qi Mo stood up from the soft stool, tapped his fingers slightly on the desk, and said in a small and clear voice: "This matter should be here first. I just got the news. Qi Mu's mausoleum will be completed in a few days. He should be there."
During this time, you left Jingyang City to preside over the mausoleum sealing ceremony. You and Hong Ying teamed up to keep a close eye on the palace and the road to the mausoleum, and report back at any time."
In ancient times, the first thing every emperor did when he ascended the throne was to build his own mausoleum. It would take decades to complete the construction, or several years to complete. Although Qi Mu only reigned for six years, the Northern Qi Dynasty today is
When it was the most powerful in hundreds of years, the imperial mausoleum was built in just a few years, which was really fast.
The emperor's mausoleum is an absolutely secret existence. Since the emperor's mausoleum will bury a large amount of jewelry and treasures, and because he is afraid that hostile forces will one day gain power and dig up graves and unearth corpses, any emperor is very cautious and will not expose it easily.
Even the brothers, brothers, wives and children will not reveal the real burial place easily.
Although Qi Mu and Qi Mo are brothers, they are not born from the same mother. In addition, they have been hostile for a long time. They are more enemies than brothers. They both want to kill each other and then kill each other.
With such a relationship, Qi Mu would naturally not tell him the matter and location of the mausoleum openly. However, Qi Mo could not grow up from a powerful prince to his current position. Even if Qi Mu deliberately concealed it,
He still secretly discovered the location of the tomb four years ago.
According to the rules, when the imperial mausoleum is capped, the tomb sealing time must be calculated as soon as possible, and then subtracting the time required from the palace to the location of the mausoleum, Qi Mo already knows roughly when Qi Mu will leave the palace.
Many things in this world are not groundless. The reason why there are rumors is naturally the reason why they were born. There have been rumors among the people that Prince Rui Qi Mo, who holds almost half of the military and financial power of Northern Qi, has long had the intention of rebellion.
This incident is also traceable.
After all, the two have been at odds with each other for so many years, and their hatred has long been deep-rooted. Qi Mu is thinking about his throne, and Qi Mo is not willing to succumb to someone who wants to kill him all the time. However, both of them have the status of being a handsome man.
Talent, people can't help but sigh, if you are born with excellence, how can you be brilliant?
Qi Mo wants to rebel. Qi Mu, as the emperor, of course knows that, but Qi Mo is afraid. If you say he wants to rebel, fine, as long as you provide evidence. Qi Mo dares to be so arrogant, and he has the capital to do so. He understands
Every power in his hands is upright, and the power behind the scenes will not allow anyone to grasp anything. If it comes to money, who stipulates that the prince cannot do business.
There is no way to grasp his handle, and Qi Mo's power in the court is even more complicated. A careless move may affect the whole body. If it is not done well, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of the entire Northern Qi Dynasty. For these considerations
, Qi Mu doesn't have a foolproof plan yet, so he keeps pretending not to know about Qi Mo's ambitions.
The relationship between the two can be said to be like walking on thin ice. On the surface, it seems that everything is calm and relaxed, but secretly, they have fought countless times, and their strength is basically the same, and they have not won much in the past few years.
Negative. This time Qi Mo borrowed Zhong Qingye's power to make Qi Mu suffer a loss. With Qi Mu's temper, he would definitely not let it go, but Qi Mo was not prepared to give him any more opportunities.
This time, the mausoleum sealing ceremony will become Qi Mu's burial ceremony!
Ziying has followed Qi Mo for many years and has a general understanding of his ambitions and temper. When he heard Qi Mo's words, he could roughly guess what he meant and nodded to show that he knew.
Qi Mo came back to his senses, walked around the table to Ziying, reached out and patted his shoulder, turned around and walked towards the door without saying anything.
"Your Majesty!" Ziying suddenly called from behind.
Qi Mo paused and turned his head to look at him.
"Zhong Qingye." Ziying looked at him with an expression on his face, as if his whole body was stiff: "How are you going to deal with it?"
"Deal with it?" Qi Mo asked with narrowed eyes.
"In a few days, the Dongshang matter should be over. Zhong Qingye is not an easy person to control. How will the prince deal with her?" Ziying said slowly.
"This is my business." Qi Mo's voice was slightly warning: "You only need to do your job well. Otherwise, you don't need to say anything else."
Ziying knew that Qi Mo never liked others to interfere with his personal affairs, but this matter with Zhong Qingye was different. Although that woman looked harmful, she felt that she would not lie, and she was a dangerous existence.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the offence. If Zhong Qingye cannot be controlled, then I am willing to..." Ziying's voice stopped, and then sounded in a sinister tone: "Handle it on behalf of the Prince."
Qi Mo laughed and tilted his head slightly, his eyes were narrow and dark, with light like flowing water flickering in them.
