Chapter 425: Unconcealable Ambition
Prince Mochu had a bad feeling.
Such words as "October Eagle Flying" were actually uttered by Li Cunxi, a man from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He also took the initiative to ask the Turkic prince about his thoughts on resuming the war between the two countries.
Is this a question about his attitude towards the Great Zhou after he ascends the throne?
Or did this uncle already know the unspeakable secret between him and the snake spirit?
Forcing down the uneasiness in his heart, Prince Mochu shivered as he took a sip of mare's milk.
"I feel that peace between the two countries is hard-won, so it is better not to destroy the atmosphere easily."
"Those who destroy the atmosphere will surely be punished by nature."
"I think the Wolf God would not want his people to be slaughtered."
"So, my thoughts are actually not much different from yours. If peace can solve all problems, I would rather choose peace."
As soon as the words fell, even Lu Dayou could hear the attitude of trying to smooth things over.
What does “if peace can solve all problems” mean?
If peace could really solve all problems, the five warlike nobles would not be thinking about starting a war with the Great Zhou all the time.
The harsh environment in which the Turks lived meant that it was impossible for this nation to maintain peaceful relations with neighboring countries.
If there really comes a day of permanent peace, either the Turks will occupy the entire Great Zhou and Khitan, or the Turks will be destroyed by other countries.
After taking a deep look at his ambitious son, Li Cunxi just nodded.
"My son is absolutely right."
"If peace could really solve all problems, there would be no war in the world."
"I thought about it again and again, and I always felt that what my son said was absolutely right."
"However, I, as a father, would like to give my son some advice."
Prince Mochuo put on an attitude of listening attentively and looked at Li Cunxi in front of him with great respect.
Li Cunxi licked his dry lips and said:
“Although peace cannot solve all problems, it can certainly solve most of them.”
"Choosing war is ultimately just an idea of a small number of people."
"Modu Khan, the leader of the five warlike noble tribes of the Turks, was once so glorious, but what happened to him in the end?"
"Our Great Zhou only raised a few troops to assist His Majesty the Khan, and we easily defeated the five warlike nobles."
“From this we can see that when there are more people who yearn for peace, those who yearn for war will become very small.”
"Peace will always be the main theme of exchanges between countries, and those who go against this will never have a good end."
Hearing Li Cunxi say this, Prince Mochu's eyes became evasive.
He didn't dare to listen any further.
These words struck directly into his heart, dealing a heavy blow to his heart that was plotting rebellion.
In my father's words, this uncle is a man of his word.
This man will do his best to do what he believes in.
Today, his cousin can use the death of Modu Khan as an example for him. If he really rebelled, I am afraid that his cousin would never spare his life.
Li Cunxi raised his cup and took a sip of water, then said:
"I hope my son can think carefully about what I said today."
"After all, my son will definitely inherit the throne of the Turkic Khan in the future."
"Many years later, if I am still in the political arena, I may have a chance to see my son again."
"I don't want my son to never see me again while I am still in the officialdom."
Prince Mochu was unsure for a moment whether Li Cunxi really knew about his affair with She Ling.
She could only avoid his gaze and dared not look directly at Li Cunxi.
Li Cunxi had done all the persuasion he could give, and if Prince Mochu was still stubborn, he could only let him be.
"Also, I have been in the royal court these days. When I go out occasionally, I always feel like I am being watched."
"Today, I have no choice but to come to my son's house for help. I hope my son can send someone to investigate and find out who is spying on me."
Prince Mochu hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Cunxi.
"As my father has entrusted me, I will do my best to investigate."
"In a few days, we will get a clue about who is following our father."
"After my father returns, I will just have to wait a few days and then I will go visit him in person."
Li Cunxi nodded slowly and stood up slowly.
"My son has a good heart. There's no need to be so reserved."
"Although we have a father-son relationship, I am much younger than you. You can get closer to me in the future."
"I have had no relatives in these years. My son is one of my relatives."
"Well, I have been outside for a long time, and it is time for me to return to the royal court. My son, you don't have to see me off. I am leaving now."
Having taken enough advantage, Li Cunxi said goodbye and left.
Although Li Cunxi clearly said that there was no need for Prince Mochu to send anyone away, Prince Mochu still wanted to demonstrate his filial piety and sent Li Cunxi and the other two away as gifts.
When he came back, his expression suddenly became the same as Yu Zhou's gloomy expression a few days ago.
He had a bad feeling.
This premonition has not dissipated since Li Cunxi started talking about reopening the war between the two countries.
After walking around the room for a long time with a frown on his face, Prince Mochu gritted his teeth and walked out of the room.
He wanted to ask Yuzhou for help. The eloquent speaker from Da Zhou might be able to help him.
He walked in a hurry and didn't realize that a figure was following him silently.
The man dressed like a gangster from the Central Plains, Ma Rong, who had disappeared for a long time, showed a stern face.
Even though they had just passed each other Li Cunxi, they pretended not to know each other.
He followed behind Prince Mochu and followed him all the way.
Li Cunxi, Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou walked a long way out, and Hu Jinghui asked:
"What task did you assign to Ma Rong?"
Li Cunxi touched his nose and chuckled:
"Nothing, just asking him to keep an eye on my good son."
"My good son is not a pushover. I'm sure that after we leave his place, he will go to find the Snake Spirit members in Turkic to seek a way out."
"Maybe he's already wondering if I guessed what he was doing."
"Hehehe, this seemingly filial son of mine is actually a 'great filial son' who makes everyone laugh and always talks about his filial piety."
Hu Jinghui chuckled. He heard the gritting of teeth in Li Cunxi's last sentence.
"What might Prince Mochu do next?"
Li Cunxi did not turn around, but whispered: "Kill your father to seize the throne."
Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Killing one's father to seize the throne is an act of treason. No matter how cruel and cruel Prince Mochu was, he would not kill his father to seize the throne.
"You don't understand him." Li Cunxi said helplessly, "I reminded him several times just now, but the ambition in this kid's eyes has not changed."
