The emperor slowly stretched out his hand, covered Mo Yu's hand, and slowly said: "I know that you are a good child. You have been smart and sensible since childhood, and you have always worked hard. I also know that you are not suitable for sitting on the throne. Your personality is not suitable for this position. You have never thought about sitting on this position. I have never doubted what you want to fight for."
The emperor's words surprised Mo Yu.
She looked at the emperor with doubt in her eyes. In Mo Yu's memory, the emperor had never paid attention to her, let alone understood her.
So what the emperor said today surprised you so much.
"Ayu, father is sorry for you. I, as a father, owe you all these things. I know in my heart that I don't have much time left. You promised father that you would assist your brother, the crown prince, and help stabilize our Mo family. You brothers should unite and stop fighting for a position. In this way, father can die with peace of mind."
Mo Yu had mixed emotions, looking at his father's earnest eyes, he couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I promise you, Father."
"Mo Yu!"
The Queen bit and shouted.
She didn't understand why her son had such a personality.
This pissed her off.
Mo Yu turned his head and glanced at his mother, and said, "Mother, I am in charge of my own affairs. I have never wanted the throne. I am willing to help my brother the Crown Prince to protect the Mo family and the people of our Xia country."
Mo Yu's words disappointed the ministers who had supported him in the past. They gave up the idea of following him and the queen and only wanted to reform themselves and support the prince.
The ministers of the Third Prince's party spoke in unison, "The Third Prince is wise, the Crown Prince is talented, and he is the eldest son, so he is the best candidate for the crown prince. We are willing to follow the Crown Prince and protect the millions of people of Xia Kingdom."
Except for the Zhao family and the Queen's mother's family, all the other members of the Third Prince's party gave up on the Third Prince and supported the Crown Prince instead.
Mo Bai didn't expect that the third prince was so naive. He thought Mo Yu had been pretending to be the queen's son. If he said he had no idea about the throne, no one would believe it.
But seeing his behavior today, Mo Bai suddenly felt that this Third Brother's kindness might not be fake.
In this case, 놛 will not bother with Mo Yu, but the queen, no matter what, 놛 must let her pay the price for her mother's death.
The emperor was very satisfied with this group of people who knew how to deal with current affairs, and his heart became much more stable.
"Ayu, your father has appointed you as the King of Pingnan. You can take your mother to live in Pingnan in the future. Which place does your father think is suitable for you? Do you like it?"
The emperor looked at Mo Yu expectantly.
Mo Yu was a little surprised!
Pingnan is a rich place, and it is indeed a good place. I never thought that my father would be willing to give me such a good fiefdom.
The emperor smiled and continued, "But you have to wait until the situation in the court stabilizes before you can go. Before that, you have to stay in Tiandu and help your brother, the crown prince. Apart from that, father doesn't trust anyone else. Father only trusts you. Ah Yu, don't let father down, okay?"
The queen couldn't help but stood up and cursed, "Mo Yu, are you sick? Why are you so stupid? You believe everything others say. How can a good place like Pingnan be given to you? Stop dreaming, okay? He just wants to use you to pave the way for Mo Bai. Why are you so stupid?"
Mo Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
What the queen said might be true, but Mo Yu couldn't help but believe the emperor.
The most important thing is that he really has no throne, and he also likes his fiefdom of Pingnan very much.
Compared with the court, I prefer my own free life.
"Mother, you don't have to say anything more."
The queen was almost mad with anger.
Otherwise, considering that many ministers were present, she really wanted to teach her precious son a lesson.
The emperor was in poor health, so after giving his instructions, he asked everyone to leave.
Mo Bai officially became the prince and took over the court.
The queen was anxious and discussed with her brother how to regain the throne.
Mo Yu was assisting Mo Bai seriously. After spending a few days together, the two became more familiar with each other.
We also understood each other's personalities, and it became more natural for us to get along with each other.
In just a few days, everyone in the court changed their opinion of Mo Bai. They thought that he would know nothing after living in exile, but the result was beyond their expectations.
Mo Bai handled state affairs very well, each of his opinions was unique, and he was authoritative in what he said and did. Gradually, the ministers were very satisfied with this crown prince, and the court officials were slowly won over.
When the queen learned about this, she became even more anxious.
That day, she summoned Duke Zhao to the palace, that is, her biological brother.
Duke Zhao has had a very bad time these days.
The Gao family came out and secretly retaliated against the Zhao family by breaking the leg of their only son, and it was so severe that they couldn't get him back.
This incident cast a dark cloud over the entire Zhao family, but they had no evidence to prove that the Gao family did it. The Gao family was meticulous in their work and did not leave any clues, which made it difficult for the Zhao family to appeal.
Duke Zhao really regretted not having the Gao family beheaded earlier. In just a few days, who would have known that the prince would be completely changed after returning.
What kind of amnesty was this? It brought the Gao family, who had no hope of survival, back to life.
Now the Zhao family has been bitten back and lost their only man. This not only affects the future of the Zhao family, but is also a great shame for the Zhao family.
Now the whole Tiandu City is laughing at the Zhao family. Duke Zhao doesn't even want to go out now, for fear that he will suffer revenge like his son one day.
Not only was he unhappy at home, but he was also unhappy in the court. Watching Mo Bai winning over people one after another and watching those ministers obeying Mo Bai's words, admiring and praising him, he felt very uncomfortable.
I just feel that the Zhao family is in danger.
Even if the queen didn't announce it, I would have to go to the palace to discuss it with her.
If no changes are made, it won't be long before the Zhao family really ceases to exist.
When the brother and sister met, before the queen could speak, Duke Zhao hurriedly said, "My queen, the current situation is very unfavorable to you. Have you thought about what to do?"
Duke Zhao looked unhappy, with several wrinkles on his face due to his worry in recent days.
The queen said with hatred in her eyes: "What should I do? What else can I do now? Naturally, I will seize the throne. Big brother, do you have any better ideas?"
A dark color flashed in the eyes of Duke Zhao, and he said in a cold tone: "If Mo Xun is unkind, don't blame you for being unjust. My queen, this throne cannot fall into Mo Bai's hands. When Concubine De died, Mo Bai would definitely not forget it. If you ascend the throne, you and the entire Zhao family will die!"
The queen thought of Consort De, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Of course we can't let you take the throne, big brother. The elite soldiers you raised should be put to use. Also, the Chen family has 50,000 elite soldiers. If you can't use these 50,000 elite soldiers, then Chen Lin's position as general should also be gone. Big brother, you go and handle this matter. Talk to the Chen family as soon as possible. It has to be done quickly. Otherwise, when that old man Mo Xun dies and Mo Bai succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult for us to control it."
Duke Zhao nodded and said, "Go, go talk to Chen Lin now. We have leverage over the Chen family. If we don't use it, the entire Chen family will go to hell."
Duke Zhao's eyes were gloomy, and he already had an idea in mind.
The Queen said, "This needs to be done in secret, and don't let Ayu know about it."
Whenever the queen thought of her son, she got a severe headache and her tone became irritable.
Duke Zhao also frowned and said, "My queen, it seems that the third prince has no intention of ascending the throne at all. Even if this matter is concealed now, I am afraid that he will not agree in the future. What should we do if he blames us later?"
The queen said coldly: "So what if you are surprised? The matter is done and you have to accept it even if you don't want to."
An idea came to the Duke of Zhao's mind, he glanced at the Queen, then suppressed the idea and did not reveal it for the time being.
