Time Travel and Love

The problem of the imperial examination was solved, but Mo Liuyun dropped another bombshell, "Uncle Emperor, I wonder if the Kui family can be taken?"

"..." Chu Qingmeng wanted to kill him now. She had quickly learned her father's skill of repaying kindness with enmity.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Mo Chenfeng expressed his opinion. "The Qi family has had a foundation for hundreds of years and is already deeply rooted. They have no intention of rebelling. If we rashly move against them, we may suffer backlash."

Mo Liujin looked at Chu Qingmeng. He knew Wu Qing's surname was Kui. Seeing her speechless expression, he put aside his suspicions. Perhaps it was just a branch. If it was a direct lineage, how could it be reduced to being killed by someone?

"The woman sent by the Hu family..." Mo Liuyun paused, subconsciously glancing at Chu Qingmeng. Seeing a hint of mockery on her face, he sighed and decided to explain in private later. "Even though it's for containment, I'm still worried. I'm afraid it's not reliable to rely on just one woman to contain the Hu family."

"..." How about giving you a man?! I'd gritted my teeth to give you a woman! And you're still not satisfied?! Chu Qingmeng, fearing she'd lose face, simply lowered her head, pulled the end of Mo Liujin's belt, and continued to tie and untie the knot.

Seeing that Chu Qingmeng didn't say anything and just played with his belt silently, Mo Liujin felt relieved. It seemed that Wuqing really had nothing to do with the Qi family. It was probably just a branch of a branch.

"As for the throne, emperors of all dynasties have an unwritten rule for those sent by the Hu family." Mo Chenfeng reminded him.

"Yes, I know." Mo Liuyun knew that the Kui family was too powerful to allow any woman sent to them to get pregnant, otherwise the whole world would have to change its surname to Kui.

“…” Chu Qingmeng silently picked up his belt rope and tied it together with Mo Liujin’s.

"Even if I take the throne, I cannot shake the foundation of the Kui family, but I can still make them bleed a little." Mo Chenfeng understood Mo Liuyun's thoughts. It was just that the national treasury was empty and he wanted to rip off the rich.

"Uncle, please tell me." Mo Liuyun became interested.

“…” Chu Qingmeng unbuttoned his clothes silently.

"The Qi family has a foundation of hundreds of years. If you want to protect your life, you naturally need some guards. If you have guards, you naturally need weapons." Mo Chenfeng took a sip of tea and spoke softly.

Mo Liuyun chuckled. "Yes, the Hu family isn't clean. I'm afraid they have iron ore!" The salt and iron industry is state-run, and unauthorized iron mining is a capital offense. If they force a branch of the family to serve as a scapegoat, they can still confiscate a considerable amount of property and add it to the national treasury."

“…”Continue tying knots.

"Uncle Emperor is indeed very thoughtful." Mo Liuyun offered Mo Chenfeng a toast with tea instead of wine, drank it with a smile, glanced at Chu Qingmeng who was playing with the rope, and spoke again, "I'll have to trouble you, General, with this matter."

"..." Thank you! Chu Qingmeng endured it silently.

Mo Liujin stood up and accepted the order with thanks. Everyone knew that confiscating property was just an opportunity for people to openly embezzle money.

Outside, Shuang Cheng twitched his lips. "Discussing how to deal with the Qi family in front of their master—how brave the Eleventh Master was!" He was now desperately curious about how his Ninth Master felt.

After deciding on this matter, everyone discussed the deployment of surveillance before Mo Liuyun left to check on the students. This time, Mo Chenfeng witnessed how casually Chu Qingmeng spoke to Mo Yunting. As he listened to Chu Qingmeng's explanation of his feigned madness, his brows furrowed.

"Father, you don't still want to protect your good nephew now, right?" Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Chenfeng's furrowed brows and sounded quite worried.

Mo Chenfeng came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm not senile yet. In my opinion, no one can be more important than the Mo family. They have crossed my bottom line. Later, I will make them wake up."

Chu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was fine. Mo Liujin smiled at her relief. She really didn't understand her father.

At this time, the Seventeenth Prince's Palace.

The three cobblers looked at the papers on the table and were stunned.

"This? Third brother, are there any problems with your people? Is this really a letter between the two of them? Is An Ning crazy?" Seventeen was a little skeptical. Today, Sixteen claimed to be sick and did not come.

"This is indeed a letter from An Ning to Eleven." The Third Prince was also puzzled, but the eunuch who stole the letter was indeed a spy he had been keeping for many years. "My people will be fine. But did Eleven really understand these words?"

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a random drawing. Can this be a word? I don't even know which country's words look like this!" The Five Kings didn't believe the Three Kings at all.

…………

After finally returning to her house, Chu Qingmeng lay motionless on the couch. She didn't want to go out again! Mo Liujin sat beside her and rubbed her waist. "Wu Qing, your last name is Kui?"

"..." Chu Qingmeng was speechless for a moment, then turned over and looked at Mo Liujin, "I thought you would be curious about the political tactics."

"I'm a little curious, but my education since childhood taught me that it's best not to ask about things I shouldn't know." Seeing that she turned over, Mo Liujin raised his hand and touched her face, with love in his eyes.

Chu Qingmeng sighed, "Wu Qing's surname is indeed Kui, but it's a bit complicated and I haven't figured it out yet."

Mo Liujin didn't press her any further, but just smiled and said, "It's okay, the Qi family, the upper position will not move for the time being, at least he won't have time to move before the New Year."
