Chapter 186: Slap the Mo Family
Chapter 186: Slap the Mo Family
Mo Chen has been under a lot of pressure recently. The head of the Mo family has high expectations of him and always asks him for ideas, but his brain is not that smart, and he can only come up with a few joke-like solutions after racking his brains.
When Mo Hongfeng saw the head of the family, he just huddled behind Mo Chen like a quail. This made the head of the family feel that the last incident was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and his eyes gradually became more unpleasant when he looked at them.
Knowing that things were not going well, Mo Chen went to Mo Yinyuan for help, but Dongfang He was too lazy to pay attention to them.
In particular, Mo Hongfeng would go to Dongfang He's yard and insult him whenever he had the chance. On this day, he happened to meet Chang Ningchen at home. Mo Hongfeng had a low official position and had never been to court, so he had never met Jin Xiaotian.
He just thought that this man was strong and must be Dongfang He's mistress, so he started to say all kinds of dirty words against Dongfang He.
After hearing this, Chang Ningchen dislocated Mo Hongfeng's jaw. It seemed that tying Dongfang He up the mountain had had a very bad impact on his reputation.
But Chang Ningchen had never told anyone about this, so there was only one person who spread it around. Chang Ningchen went to find Xuanyuan Jun again and pulled him over.
When Dongfang He returned to the courtyard, he found Chang Ningchen holding Xuanyuan Jun and not letting him leave. He asked curiously, "Why is the Fifth Prince here?"
Chang Ningchen said unhappily, "Ah He, I'm sorry for tying you up the mountain and ruining your reputation. I specially caught Ah Jun to apologize to you together."
Xuanyuan Jun said unhappily, "We are all men. Reputation is not important."
Chang Ningchen slapped Xuanyuan Jun hard. Feeling his anger, Xuanyuan Jun apologized to Dongfang He cautiously.
Dongfang He thought about the previous incident of being slandered. Although he was very angry, he could not make up for it. So he said, "It doesn't matter. As the Fifth Prince said, it doesn't matter."
Chang Ningchen knew that Dongfang He was very angry about this, so he said, "If Ah He is unhappy, you can beat me to vent your anger!"
Dongfang He frowned and said, "Okay, I'm not angry!"
Xuanyuan Jun saw Mo Yinyuan's bad attitude towards Jin Xiaotian. He said unhappily, "A Tian is so good to you, and you still give him the cold shoulder. How despicable!"
Chang Ningchen coughed unhappily, and Xuanyuan Jun calmed down.
The system looked at this scene and felt that these three people were in seclusion after a quarrel. Chang Ningchen was vicious to Xuanyuan Jun, Xuanyuan Jun was vicious to Dongfang He, and Dongfang He was vicious to Chang Ningchen. This could form a sustainable vicious pattern.
Not long after, the Di tribe on the border attacked again, and Chang Ningchen and Xuanyuan Jun set out again to resist the foreign tribes.
The prince suddenly obtained evidence that it was the Mo family who disguised themselves as merchants and burned, killed and looted the Di people in the trade towns, angering the Di people and causing this war.
Xuanyuan Pu found that there was solid evidence against him and he stopped pretending. He didn't want to become a useless person like Xuanyuan Chi who could never turn over a new leaf, so he took control of the palace, killed the prince, and placed the emperor under house arrest in an attempt to force him to abdicate!
Just when Xuanyuan Pu was determined to win, Jin Xiaotian came back with his army. Before Xuanyuan Pu could be happy for long, he was instantly imprisoned.
After the emperor was rescued, he felt heartbroken when he looked at his beloved son. He deprived him of all his rewards and titles and placed him under house arrest in the palace, where he remained until his death.
The original Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qiu died of illness, the Second Prince Xuanyuan Chi was placed under house arrest, the Third Prince Xuanyuan Feng was killed, and the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Pu was placed under house arrest for plotting a rebellion. Only the prodigal Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Jun remained. The Emperor had only one option left: to appoint Xuanyuan Jun as Crown Prince.
As the biggest accomplice of Xuanyuan Pu, the Mo family began to be liquidated, and Mo Chen and Mo Hongfeng could not escape either. Because the Mo family committed the serious crime of killing nine generations of the family, Mo Yinyuan, who had separated from the family, could not escape either.
Xuanyuan Jun has always been unhappy about Mo Yinyuan being favored by Jin Xiaotian. He was very happy to see Mo Yinyuan in the death row, so he wanted to send Mo Yinyuan to the guillotine.
Chang Ningchen knew it was time for him to protect Dongfang He, so he secretly found the emperor, took out the calligraphy written by Dongfang He, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I only miss you, Xu."
Looking at this corny love poem, the emperor was a little confused, but when he thought about the fact that Mo Yinyuan was just a bastard of the Mo family and his official position was very low, plus the earnest look in Jin Xiaotian's eyes, he weighed the pros and cons and agreed!
In the death row, Mo Chen and Mo Hongfeng continued to curse at Dongfang He. Even when they were about to die, they had already fallen out with each other and cursed him all kinds of nasty things.
Dongfang He closed his eyes and ignored it. It was he who provided the evidence to the crown prince, and it was he who informed Chang Ningchen of Xuanyuan Pu's rebellion. Now that the two princes were defeated in the fight, Xuanyuan Jun was the final winner.
There was nothing wrong with his plans, it was just that Xuanyuan Jun didn't get along with him, otherwise he wouldn't be staying in the death row. That guy probably wanted him dead. It was really like living with a tiger to serve the king.
Just when Mo Chen and his son were cursing, a group of people suddenly came and headed straight for Dongfang He. Dongfang He thought that they were Xuanyuan Jun's men taking him to be beheaded.
"Mo Yinyuan! Accept the order!"
Chang Ningchen appeared in front of Dongfang He with a smile. He received the imperial edict and came to pick Dongfang He up.
When Mo Chen and Mo Hongfeng heard Jin Xiaotian say that the emperor had granted Mo Yinyuan a marriage to Jin Xiaotian, they were stunned! Were they dreaming?!
Mo Chen and Mo Hongfeng hugged each other happily. Mo Yinyuan arranged for her to be married to General Jin Xiaotian, the guardian of the country. As his family member, she would definitely not have to die!
In the end, Chang Ningchen only took Dongfang He out. He said to Mo Chen and Mo Hongfeng, "Mo Yinyuan is now my man, Jin Xiaotian. You Mo family members can go on your journey with peace of mind!"
Listening to the sounds of Mo Chen and Mo Hongfeng crying loudly, Dongfang He walked out of the death row in a happy mood.
Chang Ningchen and his friends couldn't get married immediately after they came out. The Di tribe's issue had not been resolved yet, and Chang Ningchen had to go back to the border to fight. As Chang Ningchen's family member, Mo Yinyuan had to stay in the capital.
In addition to fighting the war, the matter also involved dealing with border trade. Chang Ningchen had been away for five years. During these five years, the emperor fell ill and passed away, and Xuanyuan Jun ascended the throne and became the new emperor.
After Chang Ningchen dealt with the surrounding nomadic peoples, Xuanyuan Jun began to fear Jin Xiaotian's power again. After all, this man was now a general guarding the country instead of his lover.
In his letter to Chang Ningchen, Dongfang He also expressed his concern that Chang Ningchen would become too successful and overshadow his boss. Chang Ningchen replied that he had his own way to solve the problem.
The solution was for Chang Ningchen to return to the court with the late emperor's edict and say, "The late emperor granted me a marriage with Mo Yinyuan. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to marry Mo Yinyuan."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jun immediately became jealous and wanted to tear Mo Yinyuan apart. Jin Xiaotian was willing to devote himself to Mo Yinyuan just to protect both of them.
Dongfang He was very touched by this, but he was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel now, and it would be too unfair for the general to marry him.
