The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

Inside the Xuanshi Hall, Mo Ling sat alone on the dragon throne, looking solemnly at the empty Golden Palace, his face seemed to be covered with frost.

Lin Yu held the envelope thrown by Feng Jiuqing and didn't dare to breathe. His Majesty, this is a sign of anger!

He had a bitter look on his face, not knowing whether he should hand the divorce letter to His Majesty. If he did, it would most likely anger His Majesty, but if he didn't hand it out, he would be afraid that he would not be able to report to the Grand Tutor.

To give or not to give?

Oh God, why bother making things difficult for a palace maid like him!

What did he do wrong to be caught between these two big shots!

When Lin Yu was struggling, Mo Ling glanced at Lin Yu indifferently, his eyes calm.

"Give it to me."

Lin Yu hurriedly handed the hot potato to Mo Ling with both hands. After Mo Ling took it, he did not open it, but stood up and left the Golden Palace.

Mo Ling walked very fast, so Lin Yu could only trot to catch up with Mo Ling all the way to the Xuanshi Hall. Before entering the door, Mo Ling glanced at him calmly and said, "Back."

Lin Yu hurriedly responded, and after Mo Ling went in, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was really terrible! Fortunately, His Majesty didn't need him to go in and serve, otherwise he would have been doomed.

Mo Ling sat down beside the chessboard, put the letter aside, picked up a black piece and strangled the white piece, then used the white piece to fight back. After two hours, the black piece finally won by half a point.

Mo Ling finally calmed down and put the chess pieces back into the chess box.

Ever since he met Ming Qing at Xitai Tower, he just thought that Ming Qing was extremely beautiful, which gave him some lustful thoughts, but it was nothing more than lust at first sight.

Later, he found out that Ming Qing was Iris, and he began to think of using Ming Qing to lure the Grand Tutor into the game.

After all, he had only been in the court for four years, and for three of those years he was under the supervision of the Grand Tutor. Even when the Grand Tutor retired, he had only a handful of people in the court. The most difficult thing was that he had no military power. Without the Grand Tutor's suppression, the court was full of crises, and various vassal kings were waiting in the dark for an opportunity to act.

He had to purge the court of corrupt officials and keep an eye on the various princes. He was unable to do what he wanted and needed an opportunity to turn everything around.

When the Grand Tutor of Jiangning Prefecture delivered the account books to him in the middle of the night, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

Mingqing can contact the Grand Tutor at any time, and the Grand Tutor will condescend to help him for Mingqing, so as long as he can control Mingqing, he can pull the Grand Tutor into the game.

So he doted on Mingqing with all his heart, and even risked the world's disapproval to make Mingqing a noble lord, so that everyone in the world would know how much he loved Mingqing.

In this way, the Grand Tutor will know that he holds Mingqing in his heart and will help him when he is in trouble.

It's not that he didn't know the information about the person behind Xitai Tower, he just pretended to know nothing and pretended to be forced into a desperate situation by that person. Only in this way would the person behind the scenes show up, and he was the one who sent people to pull the strings between the person behind the scenes and the vassal king.

In this way, the people in the court, the princes, the prime minister and he are all in the game. As long as he plays dumb, he can use the opponent's force to his advantage and get what he wants without any effort.

This was indeed the case. Whether it was the man behind the scenes, the Rui Wang, or the vassal kings, they were all defeated by him. Although he only dealt with half of the vassal kings, it was enough to intimidate the remaining vassal kings. He also took this opportunity to clean up the court and added hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The Grand Master gave him quite a few surprises, and he also used this to test that the Grand Master really had no intention of the throne and had really retired that year, but when Dai Viet was in crisis, he would still take action like this time. Although the Grand Master was not loyal to him, he was loyal to Dai Viet and would not watch the people suffer. He was a person who truly cared about the country and the people.

As long as he doesn't touch the Grand Tutor's bottom line, the Grand Tutor will not deal with him.

Everyone knows that it was the Grand Tutor who suppressed the princes, and all the fame belongs to the Grand Tutor. In everyone's eyes, he is still the emperor who relied on the Grand Tutor to sit firmly on the throne. I guess everyone thinks so, including the Grand Tutor.

Very good! He was still not taken seriously by those people. Only in this way could he strike a fatal blow to them when they were relaxed.

The whole plan went as he wished, and he got the results he wanted, but at the moment he did not feel very happy, but instead felt a little heartbroken.

He only missed two things in the whole plan. One was Yan Yiran's betrayal. Although he found out that Yan Yiran had had some connections with Queen Mother Rui, he believed that Yan Yiran would not betray him. But he still guarded against Yan Yiran, otherwise his plan would not have been so successful.

The second is his feelings for Ming Qing. He always thought that Ming Qing was just a chess piece to lure the Grand Tutor into the game, but unknowingly, he had already fallen in love with the person who had eyes only for him, but he didn't know it.

He knew Ming Qing was innocent, but he couldn't let the person behind the scenes see it. He had to follow the script given to him by the person behind the scenes to make the person behind the scenes show up. After acting so many times, he got into the role. He gradually couldn't tell whether he was acting or Ming Qing really betrayed him.

He had fooled everyone, including himself!

He couldn't tell whether he was acting for the Grand Tutor or whether he really thought so when he repeatedly told those people not to hurt Ming Qing.

During the incident at Saigoen, he knew there was someone behind the scenes, but when Mingqing's dagger stabbed at him, no matter how calm he was normally, he couldn't keep calm at that time.

He thought Ming Qing resented him and wanted to kill him, and he also needed to make the people behind the scenes think that he really did not trust Ming Qing and that there was a rift between him and Ming Qing, so he shot that arrow.

He had no intention of killing Ming Qing. He deliberately missed the target with the arrow because he thought that Ming Qing's martial arts skills would allow him to dodge the arrow.

But when he saw the arrow hit Mingqing, he regretted it, and he regretted it even more when he saw another person falling from the tree.

Ming Qing couldn't dodge the arrow because he was killing the assassin, and the dagger thrown at him was also to save him. Because of his suspicion, he killed the only person in the world who was sincere to him. He still can't forget the blood flower on Ming Qing's chest.

During that time, he dreamed every night that Ming Qing asked him why he wanted to kill him!

But since returning to the capital, he has never dreamed of Mingqing again, not even once.

Is it that Qingqing doesn't want to see him?

In fact, what the Grand Tutor said was very right. He was not worthy of Mingqing's true love for him, and he was ashamed of Qingqing.

There were two reasons why he made Mingqing his queen. First, he really liked Mingqing, but he realized it too late, and he wanted to make it up to his Qingqing.

On the other hand, Mingqing is not only the son of Prime Minister Lu and Princess Lanshu, but also the nephew of Duke Shen, who has made great contributions in protecting the emperor. He is also very much loved by Old Lady Shen, and Mingqing also has a close relationship with the Grand Tutor.

Mingqing was shot and fell into the river because of him. On the one hand, he didn't find Mingqing's body and he didn't want to believe that Mingqing was dead. On the other hand, he could only insist that Mingqing was still alive, otherwise Mingqing would have been killed by him. He couldn't get over it in his heart, nor could he get over it with those who felt sorry for Mingqing.

Whether out of guilt or to appease people, he must give Ming Qing sufficient compensation, otherwise these people will resent him in their hearts even if they don't say it.

Of course, there were selfish reasons for making Mingqing the queen, which he could not express.

But he didn't expect that neither Prime Minister Lu nor the Grand Tutor appreciated his kindness and both refused his request to make Mingqing the queen. The Grand Tutor even threatened him to give up his throne.

It didn't matter to him whether Ming Qing was conferred the title or not, he had already gotten everything he wanted, but why did his heart feel like it was missing a piece, and it ached endlessly? It wasn't fatal, but it made him suffer all the time.
