Mo Shaojun walked in very quickly.

He bowed deeply in respect.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

"Stand up and speak."

Mo Yunzhao suppressed his anger and waved his hand dismissively.

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

Mo Shaojun stood up and handed over the folded document in his hand.

The chief eunuch hurriedly came down to take it and respectfully handed it to Mo Yunzhao.

He Nian and Liu Ruzhi, who were standing to the side, quickly bowed.

"Greetings, Third Prince."

Mo Shaojun smiled and nodded.

"Since you two are here, let's listen together."

“Father, the Qin Minglang case has been investigated. Lord Qin was only misled by others, which is why he made such a big mistake. The real mastermind behind it all is Second Brother.”

He looked heartbroken and finished recounting the established chain of evidence.

"Second Brother is foolish. He is the Emperor's favorite and has the support of many ministers in court. Why does he need the Su family's assistance? When coercion failed, he even came up with the idea of ​​using the personal grudge between Qin Minglang and Ninth Prince to stir up trouble and try to make Ninth Prince and the Su family kill each other. In order to achieve his goal, he even colluded with the remnants of the Sui Dynasty. This is damaging the foundation of our Great Zhou!"

He Nian and Liu Ruzhi looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone felt that the Third Prince had lost his mind. He had just participated in court affairs and was already targeting the Second Prince, Mo Shaoqing. The targeting was too obvious.

Moreover, the things they investigated were all related to the Su family, and their investigations would inevitably lead them to Qin Minglang.

It was all Su Weichuan's doing. This Third Prince not only targeted Mo Shaoqing to his face, but also openly protected the Qin family.

So foolish and audacious.

The emperor will surely be furious.

Mo Yunzhao was indeed furious after reading the memorial.

But it wasn't against Mo Shaojun, but against Mo Shaoqing.

"This rebellious son is truly audacious. It is because I have been too indulgent and doting that he has developed such wolfish ambitions. Issue an imperial decree: Second Prince Mo Shaoqing has impure political intentions. Strip him of his four pearl crowns and make him reflect on his mistakes in his residence. He is not to be summoned to the palace."

Liu Ruzhi and He Nian exchanged glances, both of them startled.

He Nian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the crime lies with the Su family, so perhaps..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Yunzhao gave him a cold look.

"Minister He, are you questioning the results of the Third Prince's investigation?"

He Nian choked.

At this moment, the eunuch guarding the door bowed his head and hurriedly walked in again.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince requests an audience, saying that he has found clues regarding the task you assigned him."

Mo Yunzhao was feeling troubled.

Originally intending not to see him, Mo Shaojun said, "Father, is there any progress in the matter of Ninth Prince's assassination? I originally suspected that it was done by Lord Qin, but he wouldn't admit it even after being tortured. I'd like to know who did it too."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunzhao raised his head slightly.

"Announce."

As the eunuch's shrill voice rang out, Mo Shaoze stepped in.

They knelt respectfully on the ground to pay their respects.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years."

Mo Yunzhao never felt any affection for this son.

What did you find out?

Mo Shaoze said, "Your subject has discovered that the assassination of Ninth Prince was carried out by the Ghost Sect, and the Ghost Sect originated from the Sui Dynasty."

"The Sui Dynasty again?"

Mo Shaojun frowned and said, "Father, these traitors are truly despicable. Just from hearing the name of this sect, it's clear that it's not a legitimate sect. I beg you, Father, to punish them severely."

Mo Shaoze immediately cupped his hands in greeting and requested permission.

"Father, I have been protected by you, but I have never had the chance to share your burdens. Please give me a chance. I am willing to lead people to search for the Ghost Sect. Once we find it, we will do our best to annihilate the traitors."

Mo Yunzhao had never heard of this Ghost Sect and didn't care at the moment.

Qin Minglang's decision to eliminate the Su family was simply to save his own life.

Targeting Mo Shaoqing is paving the way for Mo Shaojun.

Not content with secretly controlling the government, they even chose their future master and made him pledge allegiance in advance.

Do they really think he, the emperor, is dead?

However, there are only a few princes who can get things done right now, including Mo Shaoze...

If it's useful, then let's use it for now.

He showed a hint of approval.

"You have been away from me for a long time and have learned to share my burdens. Very well, I hereby grant you the position of Junior Secretary and allow you to mobilize a thousand soldiers from the patrol battalion. I entrust you with full responsibility for the task of finding the culprit. You must find him and eliminate him completely."

Mo Shaoze breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. Your son will certainly perform his duties well."

What he wanted was to step out of his neglected villa and into the presence of the court officials.

Let them know that he, the prince, is still here.

He didn't care about the rank or position he was given.

After Mo Shaoze expressed his gratitude, Mo Shaojun immediately pressed on, "Father, now that the matter has been investigated, how should Lord Qin Minglang be dealt with? Although he did wrong, it was due to jealousy, not that he was irredeemably evil..."

He hadn't finished pleading for mercy.

Mo Yunzhao interrupted him coldly.

"Put him in a death row cell and execute him in the autumn."

He wanted to use Qin Minglang's death to warn Su Weichuan not to be ungrateful.

Mo Shaojun was startled.

He promised to give Qin Minglang a way out, but now...

Just as he was about to persuade him again, Mo Yunzhao showed signs of fatigue.

"Let's call it a day."

The decree was issued quickly.

Mo Shaoqing, who had just been released from house arrest and was preparing to enter the palace to pay his respects, was furious.

"Impossible! I did nothing! Why would Father Emperor remove my royal pearl? I will go see Father Emperor too!"

The advisor was so frightened that he quickly stopped him.

"Your Highness, the imperial decree states that you cannot enter the palace unless summoned, otherwise it would be considered disobeying the decree."

"Please calm down. I will send someone to find out what happened."

Mo Shaoqing had no choice but to give up, gnashing his teeth in hatred.
