Yan Jue's resentment towards Mo Rong Tian was not that great after all.
Thinking about it further, Mo Rong Tian was the First Prince's uncle, adding the analysis from the Prime Minister Wang just now, Mo Rong Tian was indeed a good candidate for that. Thus, after Sixth Brother finished answering, he also agreed to it.
Hearing that they also agreed, Yan Shuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and ignored the thoughts of the court officials.
Those people did not really think for the sake of the imperial court, and many people opposed it because the Prime Minister Wang was the one who suggested the proposal. This phenomenon had happened quite a few times before when the Grand Preceptor Pang was still in court.
"Then this matter shall be settled as such. There is no need for further discussion."
Not long after he left the imperial court, Yan Shuo appointed Mo Rong Tian to lead his troops to surrender the Vanguard of Southern Mirror King. Furthermore, from the content of the decree, it could be seen that the Kaiser wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to amputate the vassal lords.
When the former emperor was still alive, this was a huge matter for the heart, but for various reasons, it was never able to successfully lay its hands on the throne, which was why the two vassal lords in Nanjing were becoming more and more arrogant, taking advantage of every opportunity to start a riot.
Kaiser was very determined to get rid of the vassal lords this time. If Mo Rong Tian could successfully win all the troops from the two vassal lords this time, then he could make a comeback.
When Mo Rong Tian received such an imperial edict from the Sky Prison, he was stunned for a long while and did not recover until Wang De's voice sounded in front of him, "Young Master Mo, accept the edict."
Wang De's voice brought Mo Rong Tian back to reality but he did not make a move for a long while.
He was the crown prince of the previous dynasty. He could die, he could surrender, but what reason did he have to work for the enemy?
Having been imprisoned for half a year, Mo Rong Tian's heart had long since calmed down and quietly accepted the coming death penalty. Only when Meng Hui came to visit him, would there be some undetectable ripples in the bottom of his heart.
And now, this decree had started to cause some contradictions in his heart.
Wang De had been by Yan Shuo's side for so many years, but observing his speech and appearance was his forte. Furthermore, he was the steward of the household next to the Kaiser, so even if he did not participate in court affairs, he would still understand a bit.
At this moment, Wang De was very clear about what Mo Rong Tian was thinking. He walked up and said in a low voice, "Young Master Mo, would you mind listening to this old servant speak a few words?"
Mo Rong Tian raised his eyes to look at Wang De, and knowing that he was Yan Shuo's attendant, he nodded after thinking for a bit.
"This old servant is a eunuch. There are some things this old servant shouldn't say, but this old servant can understand young master's thoughts."
Wang De's words caused Mo Rong Tian's drooping eyelids to twitch, but he did not speak, and listened to Wang De continue: "Young Noble, the dynasty has already passed, because it has already become history, the First Queen has already been sacrificed, Young Noble thinks the death of First Queen is worth it?"
When Wang De mentioned the dead Yun Jiao Rong, Mo Rong Tian's heart fiercely trembled, his face also showed some obvious changes.
Seeing that, Wang De continued to speak, "Your Majesty ignored the objections of the crowd of officials and gave you this chance. I believe that Young Master understands who it is for and how important the hall is …"
The Kaiser only had one son, and the place under the great hall that Wang De was talking about was naturally the First Prince.
Hearing Wang De mentioning the First Prince, ripples started appearing in Mo Rong Tian's originally restless heart.
The empress has left. Although the empress has received the love of the imperial grandmother and the royal father, she is still a child without a mother by her side. No matter what, you are the real uncle of the empress, so even if it is for the imperial palace, you must work hard this time.
Wang De's words made Mo Rong Tian suddenly raise his head to look at him. The surging waves in his eyes made Wang De understand that at this moment, Mo Rong Tian had probably understood everything.
Sure enough, after a moment, Mo Rong Tian had knelt down in front of him, extended both her hands and said: "Mo Rong Tian, receive the decree."
Wang De passed the imperial edict to him, and said with a smile: "Go out, this old servant wishes Young Master success."
"Thank you very much."
Mo Rong Tian thanked his in a very serious manner. If not for what Wang De had just said, he would not have made up his mind.
Not to mention anything else, for Rong Er's sake, he had to save his life to watch over Xun Er as he grew up.
Sooner or later, Yan Shuo would have another Empress and her other direct descendant, but there was no one behind him.
Therefore, he had to win this battle.
After Wang De finished announcing the imperial edict, he left the Sky Prison ahead of him.
When Mo Rong Tian went out, there were some palace maids responsible for taking care of him waiting outside. Other than the palace maids, there was another person waiting there as well, smiling at him.
Seeing her, the smile on Mo Rong Tian's face also changed, following that, it crawled all over his face.
"It's time to become a general, Brother Xiaobai?"
Meng Hui held her hands behind her back and walked in front of him, smiling at him while teasing.
Compared to the previous few times when she knew he was going to die yet pretended he didn't care, this time, her laughter almost came from the bottom of her eyes.
Ever since Yan Shuo gave the order to kill Mo Rong Tian, she had not opened her mouth to plead for him. Ever since that time in the royal study, she slowly understood.
Little White might not necessarily be dead in her eyes, but as for Ruo Qing, should she die?
Because she was implicated and beheaded by the Shen Ji Hall, what reason did she have to not think that Mo Rong Tian deserved to die?
Therefore, even though she was extremely upset in her heart, she didn't plead for Mo Rong Tian's sake again, and even more so, didn't want to implicate her father because of this.
After that, she would often come to Mo Rong Tian to chat and talk. When he really reached that day, she would be like a brother to him, sending him off on his final journey.
Therefore, when she heard this imperial edict, she became so shocked that she lost control of her ecstasy. Everyone knew that this was Mo Rong Tian's chance of survival.
As long as he won, it would be equivalent to changing the Book of Life and Death.
Thinking about this, she patted Mo Rong Tian's arm as if she was an elder entrusting a heavy responsibility to a junior, and said sincerely: "Work hard, and when you win, I'll come back to wash your face."
Mo Rong Tian looked at her with a smile in his eyes as he nodded at her. With an indiscernible seriousness in his eyes, he said, "Alright, wait until I win."
"Yes."
Meng Hui looked at him and nodded heavily, "Wait for your return."
Nan Jing and the other two vassal lords probably heard that xieqing and his army had arrived at the border of Easternum to take advantage of the chaos. This time, they were quick.
After Mo Rong Tian was released from the Sky Prison, he did not rest for even a few days. He received the Soldier's Medallion from the Kaiser and directly led his troops to the South Mirror to calm the chaos.
