"This prince is just an idle prince, and there are two older brothers pressing down on him. How can he sit in that position?" Zhan Wenyu concealed the expectations and greed in his heart, deliberately speaking of himself as being noble.
"You are so falsely accusing me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you right now? I am not afraid of the King of Southern Xinjiang!"
Mu Hanmo sat firmly on his chair, not at all intimidated by Zhan Wenyu's momentum. He had seen too many things like power battles!
He sneered and said slowly: "Eighth Prince, please stop hiding yourself. If you want to kill me, you don't have to wait until now."
"Who doesn't know that Concubine De and the eighth prince were extremely favored in front of Emperor Xiaoxian, and their popularity directly surpassed that of the empress and Prince Duan Zhan Wenqing. But this time when they came to Zhaoyue Capital from southern Xinjiang and passed through Prince Duan's fiefdom
, but I discovered something strange."
"It stands to reason that Prince Duan is a little emperor in the fiefdom. When the fiefdom becomes prosperous, he collects more taxes and his life becomes easier. But what I see is that the people in the fiefdom are in dire straits. The people want to escape from that place, but they are
It’s more difficult than climbing to heaven!”
"Also, in Prince Duan's entire fiefdom, there are almost no adult men with full hands and feet. Hasn't the Eighth Prince ever thought about why this is?"
Zhan Wenyu also heard about these things. But he didn't think about it. He just thought that Emperor Xiaoxian didn't like Zhan Wenqing and deliberately gave him such a depressed place.
Now that Mu Hanmo said this, and considering his own situation, he had guessed a lot. His face suddenly turned pale, he looked straight at Mu Hanmo, and asked: "Is what you said true? If all these
If this is true, then King Duan is thinking of rebelling!"
Mu Hanmo did not directly answer Zhan Wenyu's words. He only smiled and said, "I don't know whether King Duan wants to rebel. But I can guarantee that what I just said is true."
"It's just that I am also very curious as to where the men in the fief have gone. Why is it that my subordinates searched the mountains and valleys around King Duanduan's fief and couldn't find any trace of them."
The more Mu Hanmo smiled and talked like this, the heavier Zhan Wenyu's heart became. Unexpectedly, his elder brother, who he always thought was keeping to himself and didn't want to make too many enemies, was actually more ruthless than him.
After a moment of silence, Zhan Wenyu raised his head and no longer concealed his desire, and directly agreed to Mu Hanmo. He said, "Okay, I promise you."
"However, I would like to remind you that after you enter the palace with me, you can only stay with me. If you have other places to go, you must obtain my prince's consent."
"No matter what you go to the palace to do, you must leave the palace immediately after finishing the matter, otherwise you will fall into the hands of this prince. Don't even think about bringing honor to your mother and concubine!"
Mu Hanmo was De Fei's "good friend", but not his friend with Zhan Wenyu. If he was right, Zhan Wenqing wanted to do something at Emperor Xiaoxian's birthday banquet.
At that time, he naturally couldn't make any mistakes. It was best to appear in front of everyone as the most capable prince to protect him...
"Okay, I agree to these conditions to the Eighth Prince." Mu Hanmo also readily agreed, and then asked: "I wonder how Concubine De is doing in the palace today. I heard that the envoys from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have entered the palace.
I’ve met the empress, but the empress misses her hometown in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?”
Zhan Wenyu frowned and thought to himself: The old man is still so uneasy living in Zhuangzi. How come his mother and concubine even know everything about the envoys from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?!
Could it be said that he also has spies in Zhaoyue's palace?
However, Zhan Wenyu thought so in his heart, but did not show it on his face, and replied perfunctorily: "Everything is fine in the palace, so I won't bother you. But Mu Juncai's situation during this period is not so good.
ah!"
"I heard that his injury was cured by the miracle doctor Wanxuan. Why hasn't it healed after so long? You have time to care about the condition of the prince, his mother and his concubine, so why not think about how to hide Mu Juncai well so that he doesn't get out and offend him again?
people."
"If you offend once, you've already become like this. If you offend someone else again, I'm afraid you'll even lose your life——"
