Chapter 91 The family must be reunited
"How do you say this person Du Xing...?"
Hearing Mo Zizai’s question, Yang Weishang was silent for a moment before slowly saying: “This person is also an alternative person in the court.”
"This person is one of the few iron-blooded sects in the court. He has always believed that the problem of domestic aristocratic families is entirely due to insufficient resources. If you want to solve this problem, you can only expand your territory. As long as you have more land, you will naturally be able to accommodate more aristocratic families."
"Expand territory and attack the Three Kingdoms?"
After hearing Yang Weishang say this, Mo Zizai suddenly felt that the argument was a little familiar. He subconsciously blurted out, "Is he the Fourth Uncle?"
There were six princes in Mo Zizai's father's generation, among which Mo Zizai's father Mo Congyi ranked second, and now Mo Yuanchang, the Zongren Mansion, ranked sixth.
The fourth uncle of the fourth child, Mo Zizai, is the King of Bei'an, who now controls the northern border. When he was a prince, he was an absolute iron-blooded sect.
When their generation was fighting for the throne, Mo Congyi did not participate in the early stage. He and Tang Shuyu fought against the Three Kingdoms coalition forces for fifteen years. He ignored the brothers who were almost slapping their brains in the capital, and never thought about going back to be emperor.
But later, something unexpected happened. Mo Congyi encountered assassination in the army and was injured. Although the Three Kingdoms coalition also paid a huge price for this, Mo Congyi's military career ended here.
At this time, the battle to seize the throne was in a fierce stage. The old emperor was seriously ill. The sixth brother Mo Yuanchang remained neutral and avoided it early. The third brother and the fifth brother were already kicked out by the red-eyed boss and the fourth brother, and only the eldest brother and the fourth brother Mo Yuanji were still fighting for the throne.
The boss and the fourth brother who were fighting for life were stunned when they heard the news that Mo Congyi came back.
They had not been prepared for Mo Congyi, and they also targeted Mo Congyi many times, but Mo Congyi's foundation in the army was too deep and he could not do anything to him.
Especially after Mo Congyi established the world-famous Fengwei Army, he had already achieved great momentum and could be said to be the strongest among the princes. If Mo Congyi had to come back to become the emperor at that time, these brothers would definitely have surrendered, because in terms of strength, they were not Mo Congyi's opponents.
But Mo Congyi looked like he had no interest in the emperor and was still fighting enthusiastically in the Eastern Region. He had no intention of returning to be the emperor at all. Only then did the princes fight with confidence.
As a result, he was beaten to death here, and the result was just about to be a success, but Mo Congyi suddenly came back. He looked like this and planned to be the emperor. Isn’t this a playful person? It’s just too much to deceive people.
The boss immediately said that he was so angry that he wanted to join forces with his arch rival, the fourth brother, to deal with Mo Congyi.
As a result, the fourth brother Mo Yuanji ignored him and asked the seriously ill old emperor for the title of King Bei'an overnight. The next day, he took his retainers to the northern border to take office. He left so simply without any delay.
In this way, the only prince who was fighting for the throne in the capital was left. He was both inflated and a little unwilling to accept it, so he launched a suicide attack on Mo Congyi and was easily eliminated by Mo Congyi.
The throne naturally fell on Mo Congyi, the prince who originally did not want to be the emperor.
"So, Du Xing has been the fourth uncle from the beginning?"
Mo Zizai frowned slightly. Although his fourth uncle failed to become emperor, this does not mean that he is very weak. On the contrary, Mo Zizai thought that his fourth uncle was terrifying.
A person who is extremely eager for the throne can stop the loss in time before his father returns and decisively give up the throne that is within reach. How strong is this rationality required to achieve it.
Moreover, during the reign of his father, although he was far away from the north, he was extremely obedient to his father. He neither interfered in the army nor cared about political affairs. He looked like a leisurely prince who was busy waiting to die.
It was not until his father passed away that he gradually showed his fangs and gradually began to erode the power of the northern court.
"That's right."
Yang Weishang nodded and said, "When fighting for the throne, Du Xing is the staunch supporter of the Fourth Prince."
"Later, as the fourth prince was enthroned by the King of Bei'an, Du Xing became much more low-key. In addition, he was indeed very capable of doing things and did not make friends with friends, so the late emperor left him as the Minister of Justice."
"I just didn't expect that with the death of the late emperor, Du Xing, who was originally very peaceful, had other ideas. In recent years, he has been using his position to secretly recruit dead soldiers. Those assassins sent to assassinate you are the dead soldiers under his command."
"So if you don't have enough preparations, you will be moved. If something happens in the capital, it will be difficult to deal with it."
Because Mo Zizai didn't have many opportunities to meet his father, he didn't know his father very well. He couldn't help but speak when he heard this, "What did my father think? It would be fine if there were so many corrupt officials in the court. Du Xing is obviously my fourth uncle's person, so he can do it without hesitation?"
"The late emperor..."
When Mo Zizai talked about the late emperor, Yang Wei couldn't help but feel a little lost. "How can I say that the late emperor is more arrogant. He seems to have a natural temperament that looks down on the world."
"He never took it seriously, let alone officials in the court, whether it was the Three Kingdoms coalition, or the aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"In the eyes of the late emperor, these are just some scabies. When the time is ripe, he will solve all these troubles step by step."
"I was beaten half-baked and looked down on me. No wonder Tang Shuyu was ambushed again later." Mo Zizai couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I don't even have gold fingers so crazy. You dare to inflate so much if you have nothing. No wonder I almost tossed out the foundation of my ancestors."
"Since that's the case, I won't move Du Xing for now."
Mo Zizai pondered for a moment and said, "You should hurry up and ask the patrol officer to dig out his dead soldiers. It's not too late for me to attack him again."
"I dare to send someone to assassinate me, but I almost sent me away. I will definitely send him all over the door when I turn around."
"With General Manager Qiu here, who can threaten your safety?"
Listening to Mo Zizai's murderous intent, Yang Weishang smiled bitterly, but he did not mean to plead for Du Xing. Assassination of the princes was a serious crime of raiding the family. If it weren't for Du Xing's subordinates, there would be no need to wait until now, Yang Weishang asked the empress to search Du Xing's house and destroy the family.
"It was the matter of General Qiu in that, and they almost killed me, and it was theirs."
