Seeing that Mo Junyu made a fuss, Mo Junyang just shrugged and said casually, “He ran away from my sphere of influence, so I should bring him back.”
The Imperial Kinship Bureau was always under Mo Junyang’s control, and even if Mo Junyu wanted to meddle, he had to do it in Mo Junyang’s name.
In Mo Country, the Imperial Kinship Bureau managed the domestic affairs of the royal family, and if there was no power independent of the royal family, they couldn’t discipline the royal family members, so Mo Junyu thought in secret that the Imperial Kinship Bureau was a dangerous force, while he had to keep it according to the ancestors’ tradition.
Or he had to accept the Imperial Kinship Bureau.
Fortunately, Mo Junyu trusted Mo Junyang and didn’t worry that the Imperial Kinship Bureau would cause trouble.
Hearing Mo Junyang’s almost perfect reason, Mo Junyu frowned slightly and didn’t believe him.
However, he didn’t retort Mo Junyang but stated, “Junyang, I know that you do everything well from start to finish, yet I have selected somebody to go to the battlefield in the north, so I won’t trouble you.”
“Selected somebody?” Mo Junyang frowned.
He pondered for a while and then asked, “The Shi family?”
Mo Junyu nodded. “I have ordered somebody to send an imperial edict to Duke Shi, telling him to lead the Shi Army these days to crusade against the traitor Mo Junhao at the northern border. Junyang, you know the capabilities of the Shi Army. Duke Shi and the army won’t disappoint us.”
If Mo Junyang admired some people on the battlefield, Shi Junhe deserved to be the first one.
Mo Junyang believed that only depending on their capabilities, it was no problem if Shi Junhe led the Shi Army to take actions.
However…
Mo Junyang’s expression didn’t change, and he still insisted, “I am willing to go to the battlefield in the north.”
He said that he was willing to, yet Mo Junyu knew that he was determined to go to the northern border.
Mo Junyu looked unhappy, and the gentle smile on his face faded.
He tried to find proper words and then explained, “Junyang, as we talk about this matter, I won’t hide it from you. I don’t want you to go to the northern border now because I plan to give you another important job, and nobody but you can do it.”
Mo Junyang paused for a moment and then asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Junyang, you must have heard that there is an epidemic in Jiangzhou in the south suddenly. In the beginning, the government controlled it well, yet recently the epidemic situation is out of control and has spread to the neighboring counties.
“What’s worse, some people spread rumors in the name of the epidemic situation that a disaster falls from the sky and God punishes the people. An evil doctrine misleads the public, but some brainless civilians believe those people’s evil intentions, so all people are jittery.”
At the mention of this case, Mo Junyu looked fidgety and depressed.
He had just taken the throne, so a lot of people awaited opportunities to get him into trouble.
It was fine if there were riots, and he could curb violence with violence at the worst. There were few people willing to follow the bandits to offend the officials when the country was peaceful, and they couldn’t cause much trouble.
However, the actions to overturn the country in the name of God were much more horrible.
These actions would shake the public feeling.
The feelings of the people were related to the stability of the country.
And he couldn’t change them by simply sending soldiers.
Mo Junyu didn’t dare to take a casual attitude. He even wanted to go to Jiangzhou in person to deal with it, so he would relax.
Nevertheless, he was the emperor now and had just taken the throne, so he couldn’t go anywhere as he wished as he did before. Moreover, the people who could control the public feeling in the name of God were not simple, and he didn’t have the confidence to handle it perfectly.
Speaking of which, he trusted Mo Junyang more than himself in this aspect and had to admit that this cousin was more capable than him.
Mo Junyang listened to Mo Junyu silently and understood what he meant.
However, he looked indifferent. From this guy’s face, Mo Junyu couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about.
Mo Junyu had to ask, “Junyang, what do you think?”
Mo Junyang responded, “Mo Country has experience in curing an epidemic. You can send two doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine randomly to Jiangzhou. Even if they can’t wipe out the epidemic, they can control the spreading epidemic.
“After the epidemic is under control, the government will meddle. No matter what intention the evil people have, they can’t put it into practice.”
Mo Junyang’s analysis was well-rounded and casually solved all the problems Mo Junyu had pointed out.
Mo Junyu seemed to feel the other man’s merciless sarcasm. Did such a simple job deserve to tire so many people?
“You are right…” Mo Junyu was reluctant to be retorted and racked his brains, saying, “This issue has caused such a negative effect. If we don’t send some people from the capital, what will the common people there think about? I have just taken the throne, and the public feeling is not stable. I can’t disappoint the common people in something insignificant like this. Do you think so?”
“Since you want to placate the common people, you can send a high-ranking official at the imperial court, and the people will be convinced.” Mo Junyang didn’t listen to Mo Junyu but refused impassively again.
Mo Junyu was speechless.
He had found it.
Mo Junyang didn’t want to go to Jiangzhou but was determined to go to the northern border.
However, Mo Junyu wouldn’t let Mo Junyang go to the north.
Mo Junyang was the person that he trusted most, and Mo Junyu believed that people should use the best material at the key point. Moreover, the northern border was so far away from the capital city.
If Mo Junyang went to the battlefield, who knew when he could return with the army?
Mo Junyu didn’t want his most capable assistant to go so far away. Then if he had something difficult to handle, he would have nobody to help him.
He wouldn’t put himself in such an awkward position, yet Mo Junyang’s attitude was obvious. This man couldn’t be convinced easily.
What should he do?
The emperor felt that he was distressed.
Both of them fell into silence, and the atmosphere seemed to become oppressive.
After a while, Mo Junyu found a lame excuse with difficulty. “I have sent an imperial edict and made Duke Shi a general to protect the country, telling him to lead the Shi Army to the battlefield in the north.”
In another word, the imperial edict had been sent. How could the emperor take back his words?
So Mo Junyang should put up with it and obediently listen to the emperor.
Mo Junyang’s expression didn’t change. “I am willing to go to the north with Duke Shi.”
Mo Junyu was unable to speak.
He felt that he would be irritated by Mo Junyang to death sooner or later.
“Can’t you be obedient to me once?” Mo Junyu asked in reply feebly.
When the emperor acted like this, he was so good for nothing.
Mo Junyu was not good-tempered. On the contrary, he was always superior, so he wasn’t easy to get along with.
Only it was Mo Junyang. If it were somebody else, Mo Junyu would torture him to death.
However, because it was Mo Junyang, Mo Junyu couldn’t do that logically. Of course, he might not be able to make it, so the awkward situation was caused.
Unfortunately, Mo Junyang didn’t understand the emperor’s hard effort. He was expressionless and didn’t say anything unnecessary.
The silent protest irritated Mo Junyu more.
He couldn’t help but ask with threat, “Don’t you want to go to Jiangzhou?”
Mo Junyang probably noticed the emperor’s displeasure, so he softened yet said, “Your Majesty, if you are worried, I can tell Qu Yuebai to go to the south with the imperial envoy you appoint.”
It was impossible to make Mo Junyang go to Jiangzhou in person.
Mo Junyang didn’t say the last words, while Mo Junyu could certainly understand what he meant.
Mo Junyu’s expression changed several times in an instant, and in the end, he looked indifferent, as if he were going to explode.
He said in a cold voice, “since you insist on refusing to go, I have to assign it to another excellent general.”
Mo Junyang said, “Your Majesty, you are wise.”
Mo Junyu’s lips curved. “I will send Wenren Chi. You have no objection, right?”
Mo Junyang kept silent. Obviously, he wasn’t interested in whom Mo Junyu would send in the end.
Mo Junyu waited a moment and saw that Mo Junyang really didn’t say anything.
Then he reminded reluctantly, “I have heard that Infanta Baoning is pregnant now, and her fetus is unstable, so she is nourishing the fetus at home. Do you think that General Wenren will be in the mood to go to Jiangzhou?”
“Your Majesty, you are the emperor and every order of yours is executed without fail. Who dares to disobey you?” Mo Junyang flattered.
However, it was better if he didn’t say it.
The emperor thought sadly, “Why don’t you listen to me?”
Mo Junyu thought that Mo Junyang didn’t understand what he meant, so he continued, “I have heard that General Wenren asked the Bureau of War for long leave lately as he wanted to stay at home to look after his wife. I saw that he was always diligent, so I allowed him, but now the country is in need, and he has to take on arduous tasks, unless somebody volunteers to replace him.”
Mo Junyang raised his head and glanced at Mo Junyu, with indifference and doubt in his eyes.
He really didn’t understand what Mo Junyu was thinking about. Did he think that Mo Junyang would volunteer to replace Wenren Chi?
Mo Junyu smiled calmly. “I know that you have no contact with General Wenren, but…”
The emperor intentionally paused at the moment and then indicated in a meaningful tone, “But others are different, for example, the young lady from the Shi family…”
Later, Mo Junyu finally saw some emotions on that poker face.
It was cold and serious, as if there would be a storm.
Mo Junyang looked at Mo Junyu and narrowed his eyes, asking in a dangerous tone, “Are you threatening me?”
He even didn’t use the respectful form of address.
Mo Junyang had fierce killing intent, and it could cut anybody’s skin no matter where it swept.
It sent a shiver down anybody else’s spine even in hot summer.
Mo Junyu would have apologized in the past.
However, he was angry now and thought that he was the emperor. Even if he was wrong, others should comfort him and listen to him. How could the emperor apologize to an official?
Mo Junyu gritted his teeth and controlled himself. He even raised his chin, as if declaring war on Mo Junyang.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. They looked at each other and seemed to show rivalry.
The air around was going to freeze seemingly.
They didn’t know how long they had been in a stalemate till the eunuch Xi ran over in haste.
Before Xi spoke, he was scared by the weird atmosphere and his legs weakened. He trembled and knelt on the floor. “Your…Majesty…”
Xi stuttered and couldn’t speak out a word.
Mo Junyu looked away but vented his anger on Xi.
He rebuked coldly, “If you can’t speak a word clearly, you don’t need to keep your tongue.”
