Chapter 542 I hope the Mohist family can return to the court to help me
"Nanyu understands what Lord He said, but the court is in need of talents right now, and I just want to try again."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I'm sure Lord He has also noticed that my father has delayed making me king because he plans to make me the crown prince once the situation stabilizes."
What he said was very subtle. In fact, what Emperor Shunwu told him was that he would give him the throne after the situation stabilized.
The future of Dashun will belong to him. How could he bear to lose Mo Jiuye and other brave and loyal generals of the Mo family?
Minister He knew that it was useless for him to say this, as Nan Yu would definitely meet Mo Jiuye.
As for what will happen to Mo Jiuye, it is not something he can control.
The two of them talked all the way and arrived at the Shangshu Mansion.
When they arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Nan Yu couldn't wait to pull Mo Jiuye into Shangshu He's study.
Mo Jiuye knew that Nan Yu was so anxious to find him because it must be related to the things happening in the court.
No matter how big or small the matter was, he had gotten used to not telling He Zhiran about it. It happened that He Zhiran was there at the moment. Mo Jiuye didn't care about Nan Yu's thoughts at all and pulled his wife into the study together.
Nan Yu was also aware of the situation between Mo Jiuye and his wife, and was not surprised by this.
It might be a good thing that He Zhiran is here. If Mo Jiuye doesn't want to, but his wife does, then it could help to add fuel to the fire.
The matter was urgent, so Nan Yu didn't beat around the bush with Mo Jiuye and his wife this time and went straight to the point.
He first bowed solemnly to Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
"Ninth Master, Ninth Madam, Nanyu hopes that the Mo family can return to the court to help me."
What he said was to share my worries, not the country or Emperor Shunwu. He just hoped that Mo Jiuye would remember their friendship and help him.
Mo Jiuye thought he had made his position clear to Nanyu, and he also believed that Nanyu understood him.
Now that he did this, Mo Jiuye's first thought was to refuse.
He Zhiran was listening at the side, but had a different idea.
Before Mo Jiuye could say no, He Zhiran pulled his sleeve and signaled him with his eyes not to speak for the time being.
Mo Jiuye swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and stared at He Zhiran with some confusion.
Although He Zhiran had her own ideas in her mind, she didn't intend to say them out loud before getting Mo Jiuye's consent.
“Third Prince, you also know what happened to the Mo family, and you are even more aware of the injustice they suffered.
Now that my Mohist sect has finally settled down in the northwest, I have never considered continuing to wade into the muddy waters of the imperial court."
Logically, if He Zhiran rejected Nan Yu, he should have directly said that he would no longer participate in court affairs.
However, she changed her participation to never thinking about it.
If you meet someone who knows how to listen, they will think that this matter is not completely unchangeable.
Nan Yu is so smart, how could he not understand the meaning of He Zhiran's words?
"In that case, it would be fine for the Ninth Young Master and Ninth Madam to reconsider this matter. I promise today that if the Mo family is willing to return to the court, I can speak to my father and ask him to grant you a throne. How about that?
Of course, I also know that the Mo family has no interest in these things, but you also have to consider the future generations of the Mo family, right? "
In fact, He Zhiran said that just now not because she longed for a title, nor did she consider the issue of future generations.
The Mohists now live in the northwest. Although they live a carefree life, they are ordinary people after all.
After resolving the matter in the capital, she returned to the northwest and planned to develop her family business.
Every business she does can be said to be unique in this era.
Although their business is all in cooperation with Tang Mingrui and they will not be the businessman who shows up in public, there is no wall that is completely airtight.
Once noticed by someone with ulterior motives, they would certainly find out the source of these goods. If they happened to meet a businessman like Boss Jin who would do anything for profit, wouldn't that bring trouble to their family?
Boss Jin is not a big shot, so he can't cause any harm to the Mo family.
But Tang Mingrui's business will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future, even spreading to the entire Dashun Dynasty and even the surrounding small countries.
If this continues, the person who is eyeing the Mo family's production source will no longer be a small businessman like Boss Jin, and it is likely to alarm some dignitaries or some powerful forces.
The Mohist School now has so many private soldiers, so there is no need to worry about anyone targeting them, but who would think that a comfortable life is hard?
In short, if you want to completely prevent these troubles that may occur in the future, the best way is to have a certain amount of power in your hands.
To put it bluntly, although you care about me, you dare not do anything to me and can only stare anxiously.
This is exactly the effect He Zhiran wanted.
Of course, she personally didn't like the Mohist family to be involved in these court affairs anymore. Although the world would belong to Nan Yu in the future, and he was a good emperor who worked diligently and loved his people, as long as the people benefited, there was no obvious attraction for the Mohist family to return to the court.
What He Zhiran wanted was that the Mohists could have a territory of their own, which would be ostensibly under the rule of Dashun, but would actually belong to the Mohists.
She had no intention of rebellion or conspiracy, but just wanted to create a prosperous and developed region through her own efforts in ancient times.
For example, in modern times, after the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, some areas were allowed to become prosperous first, and she also wanted to build such an area here.
Just now, Nan Yu took the initiative to propose to make Mo Jia a king. He Zhiran guessed that Nan Yu must have asked Emperor Shunwu for his opinion on this matter in advance. Otherwise, considering his cautious nature, he would not have said such unfounded things.
Therefore, she could be sure that as long as Mo Jia agreed to return to the court, it would be inevitable for him to obtain the throne.
Of course, she also knew that although they were nominally crowned kings, many kings of different surnames in history were just empty titles and actually had no rights.
To put it bluntly, it was the emperor's way of rewarding some meritorious officials.
Once Mo Jia was crowned king, he would be like many other princes in history who had no real power. He would be granted a mansion in the capital to enjoy his life, but in reality, his rights were not as real as those of an ordinary official.
This is not the effect He Zhiran wants. She doesn't want the Mo family to return to the court so easily. The throne must be accompanied by some other things. This is her real purpose of leaving Nanyu a glimmer of hope.
Nan Yu longed for Mo Jiuye to return to the court. Seeing that there was hope, he did not rush to leave the Shangshu Mansion, but followed Shangshu He to chat about the situation in the court, hoping that he could get a satisfactory answer from Mo Jiuye and his wife during today's trip.
