Chapter 149 Hostage

Xiao Ye has been waiting for this day for four years.

Fortunately, as he wished, Bohai State rebelled as expected, just like in the previous life.

At this time in the last life, Xiao Ye was still blowing the cold wind in northern Xinjiang. It was Xu Yu, the general of the Hussars, who led the Xu family army to victory in the Bohai Kingdom's suppression of the rebellion.

However, in this life, at this time, Xu Yu had long since failed to help the eldest prince to force him into the palace, so he drew his sword and killed himself, and the Xu family army was gone.

The emperor could only ask King Dun, who had never led an army, to lead the newly reorganized Chang'an army to quell the rebellion.

Xiao Ye had already expected this to happen, so he arranged for Xiao Liuzi to work hard in front of King Dun's fat pig, flattering him, flattering him, and belittling himself.

Xiao Liuzi has always been a monkey, and with his broken mouth, he can talk about the dead as if they are alive.

With Xiao Liuzi's efforts, King Dun was really impressed. He really thought he was better than King Zhenbei.

He rushed forward in a hurry on the battlefield and refused to listen to the dissuasion of his generals, insisting on chasing the poor bandits.

In the end, he fell into the enemy's trap and lost his life.

While the emperor was suffering from the pain of losing his son, he discovered something even more sad than sadness:

Today, there are no generals available in the DPRK.

No matter how afraid he was of King Zhenbei, he could only let him come back to lead the army.

After all, the emperor's body and bones have long lived up to the strength of the past. The old diseases left by the battles in his youth have come to his door, and he can no longer drive and conquer in person.

This is the benefit of rebirth, and all of this is within Xiao Ye's expectations.

In the previous life, the year after the rebellion in Bohai Kingdom was put down, my father died. In this life, my father will definitely not have the physical strength to lead a military expedition in person.

As long as King Dun's fat pig dies, my father can only use him!

However, this errand was a hardship for Xiao Liuzi.

When it comes to being a spy, it's not that he doesn't do it well, it's that he does it very well.

So much so that Tiehanhan Wang Feihu thought that Xiaoliuzi had really betrayed the prince's kindness of knowing him and was a big traitor by trying to please King Dun and badmouthing King Zhenbei every day.

Wang Feihu was so angry that he went into Xiao Liuzi's tent in the middle of the night and beat him several times, each time hitting him harder.

Xiao Liuzi knew that Wang Feihu was an honest and upright man and could not pretend to be anything. Therefore, even if he was beaten, he would not dare to tell him a word of the truth.

It was only after Xiao Liuzi received these severe beatings that King Dun praised Xiao Liuzi's words even more and believed them to be true.

King Dun returned to the west as he wished, and Xiao Liuzi decided not to complain to King Zhenbei about his beating. Just fight, they are all for the good of their master ...

The last political thing Mo Jingchen did in Yazhou was to issue a transfer order to second the captain of Yazhou Deng Chan to the King of Zhenbei and follow him back to Beijing to serve.

After the official seal was sealed, a team of people finally set foot on the road back to Beijing.

After a long journey, a group of people finally entered the gate of the capital.

Xiao Ye stopped the horse's reins, turned around and said with concern,

"Jingchen, you go back to the mansion first, and I will go into the palace to see my father. I will go to Mo Mansion to find you later."

Mo Jingchen responded slightly,

"Um."

"drive!"

Xiao Ye raised his whip and rode away.

After walking on the road for so many days and not knowing what was going on with the war in Bohai Country, Xiao Ye felt a little anxious.

Mo Jingchen watched Xiao Ye leave, jumped off the horse and entered the carriage.

He took off his white clothes and put on the dark green Shangzhou governor's official uniform. He picked up Shang Fang's sword and a cold light flashed through his deep eyes:

"Go to the household department!"

Little fool, feel free to go to the battlefield and make achievements. With me behind you, you will have no worries!

In the Qinzheng Hall, Xiao Ye was listening attentively to his father's description of the current war situation in the Bohai Kingdom. The war was anxious ...

Suddenly, Eunuch Su came in in panic and reported urgently.

"Your Majesty, Lord Mo, killed the Minister of Household Affairs."

Xiao Ye's mind suddenly buzzed:

Mo Jingchen! Are you crazy? How dare you kill a first-class official of the day!

Xiao Ye made a 'pop' sound and knelt down on the ground, wanting to plead with him, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. He suddenly thought of what the imperial concubine had taught him back then.

"Father, on our way back, we passed by a mass grave. Jingchen was afraid that something unclean might have hit him.

You know, he has always been weak, and now, he must have lost his mind.

None of the stupid things he did came from his true intentions.

Please be merciful, Father ... "

"My lord, I was not hit!" Mo Jingchen's deep and powerful voice came from outside the hall.

Xiao Ye's heart trembled, and he looked around and saw that at this moment, Mo Jingchen had changed into the crimson official uniform of the right minister of the second-grade Metropolitan Procuratorate, holding Shang Fang's sword in both hands, and entered the palace with steady steps.

Far away from the emperor, he knelt down and said word by word with an upright look on his face,

"Your Majesty, I have come to return my orders.

The Shangfang sword given to me by the emperor before leaving has the right to kill first and then report.

All officials in Yazhou who were unfavorable in fighting the epidemic died under this sword. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is the last one. Please give your Majesty a clear warning!

All the errands in Yazhou have been completed. I am here to return Shang Fang's sword. "

The emperor looked at Mo Jingchen, dressed in red robes, kneeling down and expressing his feelings generously without being humble or arrogant. He had the character of an old friend. For a moment, he felt as if he was in another world:

Ziqi ...

How wonderful it would be if you could see your son succeed.

A young man is better than a good man. Your son's decisive and decisive attitude should be better than yours ...

The emperor was filled with emotions in his heart, but on the outside he looked calm and spoke in a very calm tone.

"Sheath your sword and stand level."

Eunuch Su came over, took back Shang Fang's sword, and helped Mo Jingchen up with his hands very politely.

Eunuch Su is the best at understanding the Holy Heart. He was so polite to Mo Jingchen, which shows that the emperor is really not angry.

When Xiao Ye saw this, his heart hanging in his throat finally settled into his stomach:

It's great that my father is not angry. Mo Jingchen, you are so brave. When did you first have the desire to kill the Minister of the Ministry of Finance?

I can hear your voice without even knowing it. Could it be that it was a temporary idea? You can really scare me ...

Mo Jingchen stood up but did not leave. He was still waiting for the emperor to finish speaking.

However, the emperor paused for a moment and continued,

"Now that you're here, don't leave. Stay in the palace for a few days and play chess with me."

"yes."

Mo Jingchen then looked at Xiao Ye, his eyes calm, and he sighed in his heart:

[Xiaosi, from today on, I am a hostage]

[Fortunately, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is dead, and Shun Xilai will definitely take over all his errands]

[When the time comes, when you go on an expedition, no one will hinder you in terms of military expenses, money and food, and I will feel relieved]

Xiao Ye suddenly realized:

My father has always been afraid of me, so how could he trust me with the Chang'an Army?

It turns out that he wanted to keep Jingchen by his side as a hostage!

Jingchen himself also expected it.

Father, you really know how to take advantage of my weaknesses, look at how powerful you are ...
