Chapter 336: The decisive new emperor x the poor princess of the previous dynasty 19
Yu Ling died. Jun Molin waved his hand calmly and said, "Just treat her like an ordinary palace maid."
"Liu Cheng, how is the cleaning of the harem going?"
Hearing Jun Molin mention the business, Liu Cheng immediately became alert. "Your Majesty, I have found a total of 58 spies, 43 of whom are spies of General Sima, and 15 are spies planted by other ministers."
Jun Molin nodded and said, "Kill all the spies, no need to do it in secret."
Jin Jin Qiao has lost her freedom these days. Ever since Jun Molin knew she was pregnant, there have always been two unfamiliar people protecting her. It is said that they are two of the four generals around Jun Molin. They are not only good at martial arts, but also know poisons and medicine.
These two people always kept their eyes on her, and would come over to check on her even if she just took a sip of water.
Jin Jin Qiao just wanted to laugh at this, but she would not raise any objections to Jun Molin. Special times call for special treatment.
Finally, the harem's eyeliner was almost cleared, and Aunt Qiao finally felt the long-lost freedom.
"Hey, Caiying, you don't know how uncomfortable I feel every day when Soonrae and Soonseung are here."
Caiying massaged Aunt Qiao's calves carefully. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "The Emperor is also worried about the Queen. After all, the incident with Cailian was too frightening. But now that the two of them are finally gone, the Queen should feel more at ease."
Aunt Qiao agreed and said, "Yes, it's not convenient for me to lie down like this when they are here."
Seeing that Aunt Qiao was in a good mood, Caiying finally told her what she had heard, "Your Majesty, I heard that some ministers suggested that the emperor fill up the harem, but the emperor refused, saying that Da'an is still unstable and asked those ministers not to bring it up again."
Jin Jin Qiao knew what Caiying was thinking. She was simply afraid that if Jun Molin really took a concubine, she would then fall out of favor.
"Caiying, the emperor will not take a concubine. You just need to serve me diligently and don't worry too much about anything else."
Caiying agreed. According to how much the Emperor doted on the Empress, the Empress would not fall out of favor even if he took a concubine in the future. After all, their Empress was so beautiful, how could those mediocre women compare to her?
"General, General, something terrible has happened."
General Sima was drinking in a good mood when he was disturbed by the servant who ran in from outside. His face immediately drooped. "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to live?"
The servant knelt on the ground, not caring about his breath, and pleaded, "General, this is an urgent matter."
"The General's Mansion... The General's Mansion has been sealed. The Emperor has already known that you left the capital without permission."
"And the Emperor has also issued an order to remove you from your military post."
"General, what should we do? In this situation, the emperor cannot let you return to the capital."
General Sima dropped the wine glass in his hand, pushed away the woman leaning on him and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to be so quick. It seems that he has already suspected me and even started investigating me."
Xu Qingzhou, who was sitting not far away, was puzzled by General Sima's lack of anxiety. "General, why are you not anxious? You are no longer a general of Da'an."
General Sima smiled nonchalantly and said, "I am not in a hurry. It is the emperor who should be in a hurry. Half of the military tokens are in my hands."
Xu Qingzhou understood that in order to use the military power, the two military tokens must be put together, so for now the new emperor cannot do without General Sima.
"General, our actions have had some effect. The people who were originally unwilling to participate in the court struggle have now begun to protest."
General Sima said confidently, "It's supposed to be this way. Now the interests of the people have been harmed, and they just want to live a stable life. If we don't let the eldest princess become the queen, they can have stability. Of course, they will support our approach."
However, General Sima forgot an old saying: Even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. General Sima's actions might also make the people anxious, and thus they rebel against them.
Baihao Mountain outside Changping Town is the territory of mountain bandits. The bandits here are a little special. They rob the rich and give to the poor, and never rob the poor. After the boss Mo Yan knew what happened in Changping Town, he summoned all his men for a detailed discussion.
"Boss, do you really want to get involved in this matter?" The second in command Shi Anyi raised an objection. He only wanted the bandits in Baihao Mountain to be safe and sound. The lives of the people in Changping Town had nothing to do with him.
Mo Yan glanced at Shi Anyi and said, "I know what you think, but don't forget our original intention of becoming bandits."
"The people of Changping Town are in trouble now. Half of the villagers in Changping Town have died. I really don't want to watch more villagers being killed."
Shi Anyi sighed. Since the change of dynasties, they had fled all the way here from the capital. They had finally settled down, but then the Changping Town incident happened.
"Boss, we can work with you to protect the safety of the people of Changping Town, but we hope that you will think about us before giving orders."
Mo Yan felt bad. If he was really involved in this matter, there would be no way they would not suffer no casualties. Mo Yan could only promise to do his best.
Half of the bandits from Baihao Mountain sneaked into Changping Town, where Mo Yan met someone he didn't expect.
"Brother Qingzhou?"
When Xu Qingzhou heard the familiar voice, his body stiffened slightly, then he turned around and saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Mo Yan? Why are you dressed like this?"
It's no wonder Xu Qingzhou was surprised. Mo Yan used to be a noble and aloof young man in Beijing. But now, Mo Yan not only has a full beard, but also wears sloppy clothes. Xu Qingzhou almost didn't recognize him.
Mo Yan's eyes changed from initial surprise to current astonishment. He opened his mouth and finally spoke out his inner thoughts, "Brother Qingzhou, you have changed. You actually..."
Xu Qingzhou clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, it's just as you saw. I cooperated with General Sima."
"Why? Do you know how many people died?" Mo Yan asked in disbelief.
Xu Qingzhou's eyes dimmed, and he explained, "I can do anything for the eldest princess. Mo Yan, you should know how much I like the eldest princess. Now the eldest princess is trapped in the palace. If I want the emperor to release the eldest princess, this is the only way to force him."
Mo Yan shook his head in disappointment and said, "If the princess knew that you had harmed so many people in order to save her, do you think she would be happy? Would she forgive you?"
Mo Yan's words hit the deepest concerns of Xu Qingzhou, but it was only for a moment before Xu Qingzhou reaffirmed his thoughts, "Even if the princess hates me, I will save her."
