Chapter 676: Breaking the Dust
Mao Fenggang tightened his face: "Dad, you can't fool me, the three princesses are all married to His Royal Highness at the same time, and they have never been separated from the East Palace and the West Palace, and now that the princess has given birth to a child, she should be the queen of our Ming Dynasty, if Her Royal Highness is biased, we should stand up and support the princess." β
Mao Youyi sneered: "Have you eaten too much pork over the years, why did you grow a pair of pig brains?" If it was in the previous dynasty, it would naturally be possible to do this, but what is the origin of His Highness? If you dare to threaten him, believe it or not, he will raise a large army and destroy you the next day? You have to remember that he has the blood of Emperor Taizu in his body. β
Mao Fenggang was stunned for a moment: "Impossible, Dad, their Zhu family is sorry for our Mao family, if they attack us again, the whole army will be cold, Dad, you are scaring me, right?" β
It can be seen that Mao Fenggang has been in chaos, and Mao Youyi sighed leisurely: "When His Royal Highness just arrived in Chengdu Mansion, he really didn't dare to deal with us, because the strong enemy was on the side, and there could be no internal worries about external troubles, but now, he not only occupied Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, but also blocked the two armies outside the door, do you think he would be afraid of our Mao family at this time?" Who in the army would turn against him for the sake of a Mao family who has not made an inch? Another thing you should remember, we are just surnamed Mao, and we have nothing to do with our father-in-law, as long as the one in His Highness's mansion is the blood of our father-in-law! β
"After all, we have protected the Mao family for two generations, and the princess can't be so ruthless."
"Humph! You idiot, you put the fate of the whole family on a woman, if the princess can influence the will of His Royal Highness, how can we be kicked out of Chengdu Mansion. Now we seem to be in power, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that our Mao family has become a yellow flower of tomorrow, and no one will cling to us again. β
"Then I'll go to the princess and ask him to persuade His Royal Highness to take back his fate, and we won't fight."
"Mao Fenggang, why are you so naΓ―ve and ridiculous, can you take medicine for regretting things in the court? Since you have exchanged a great favor for such a shit-like opportunity, you can only use this piece of shit to pinch out a flower to show His Highness, and let him know that our Mao family is not useless. β
Speaking of this, he glared at Mao Fenggang fiercely: "You remember, even if the knife is on the neck of our father and son, you must never mention the princess again, let alone go to her again, our Daming, there has never been a living relative, and there will be no one in the future!" β
Looking at Mao Fenggang's distant back, Mao Youyi sighed helplessly, even if he was twenty years younger, he had already hacked this fool to death with a knife just now. But now it's different, he's seventy years old, and he's precarious, this rebel is certainly angry, but what's even more sad is that he found that there was no way to kill him, if he killed him, who would be able to support his own bloodline? There is no strong figure in the troubled times, and who should the old and weak women and children in his family entrust to.
Mao Youyi had many sons, but they all died in battle for various reasons, and the remaining one, even if it was not good, he could always save the lives of his family, of course, provided that he stopped doing such stupid things.
Fortunately, Mao Ruoling didn't know the situation outside the house, all she knew was that Mao Youyi was appointed as the governor of the Southern Route Army, which was enough, and Wen Duruo also warned her intentionally or unintentionally, it was best for the people in the inner palace not to meddle in the affairs of the outer court, so as not to embarrass Cheng Xiaolian. Although there is no such thing as an inner palace now, it is actually not far off.
Cheng Xiaolian also found something different when he came back this time, I don't know where Confucius found the eunuchs, stuffed into the mansion, and all the male servants in the mansion went to the front yard, and they were not allowed to enter the backyard for half a step. Although he is very disgusted by this inhumane castration, there are some things that he can't do as he wants when he comes to this position, not to mention what the people in the court will say, even the folk rumors have to come up with all kinds of strange versions.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, although he wants to change this situation, but it is not as simple as changing everyone's minds with a single sentence, he can only integrate into them first, and slowly try to change, he knows that as long as there is an excellent system, things will develop in a good direction.
Mao Ruoling naturally knew the rules of the harem not to interfere in politics, and what she had done before had exceeded her original intention, if it weren't for Mao Youyi looking for someone to beg hard, she would never have brought up this kind of thing. Now that Cheng Xiaolian has done this kind of thing, she can't make any excessive demands.
All the harems and relatives of the past dynasties will definitely not be in contact with each other very frequently, they just make a sudden move on key things, catch all the enemies off guard, and then be defeated by them, and will not cause the court and the Son of Heaven to scruple, and will be unscrupulous when they can really take power.
And the Mao family and Mao Ruoling obviously don't understand this rule, not only did they suddenly make a move in this kind of thing, but also had a threatening status, if they changed to a gentle-tempered emperor in two days, they would forget it, but Cheng Xiaolian is a person who is willing to think, he doesn't want the person next to him to become a tool for others to use because he can't help himself.
So he immediately made a decision to split Mao Ruoling and the Mao family bluntly, as the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, after he expressed his attitude, those who were afraid of the Mao family would also do business, which is why Mao Youyi wanted to kill his son. There are some things that others do not express their stance but it is a good thing, once the statement is to show all the hole cards, those who think carefully will quickly make a decision.
The princess of the Mao family gave birth to a child and did not let His Royal Highness hold the Mao family to a certain position, so their status in His Royal Highness's heart may not be so important, this is what everyone thinks.
Cheng Xiaolian naturally wouldn't tell Mao Ruoling about these intrigues, although Mao Ruoling has a foundation in martial arts practice and her body recovers quickly, Cheng Xiaolian doesn't want her to be hurt a little, he just wants to be by her side every day, waiting for Wen Duruo and Situ Bing's stomachs to grow up.
At this time, a eunuch suddenly rushed to the door of the room: "Your Highness, there is a master at the door, who said that she is called Xuanchen and wants to see you." β
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and immediately instructed: "You go and arrange the guards in the house, call Lu Li as well, prepare the musket, and prepare a little thunder in your palm." β
Wen Duruo next to him was startled: "If it's really a dangerous person, just let people kill it, why do you still want to go out?" β
"I can't kill her, if I really kill her, Qu Songjin knows that she has to fight with me, but she may have come this time to be angry with her apprentice, I have to be fully prepared."
