King Solo
Chapter 4
As soon as Murongli Fangye entered Jusu Wangcheng, there was an old man dressed luxuriously, holding a yellow brocade, and two rows of people lined up behind him, the old man stepped forward, "My son is Murong Li, the master of Yaoguang County", but a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes , but then dissipated into the sky.
Murongli stepped forward and bowed to salute, "This is Murongli, my lord..."
The old man said, "This old slave is the head of internal affairs. The king knows that the princess is coming soon, so I specially sent this old slave here to wait for the princess."
Murong Li "The King"
The old man "Murongli, the master of Yaoguang County, received the order. Murongli, the master of Yaoguang County, set up a new business department. The construction is novel, bold and innovative, avoiding the old law and tradition, and a mansion is specially given. It has been rewarded and worked hard."
Murong Li Fang Ye knelt down to receive the decree, under the city gate where people came and went, all the men, women and children present were waiting on their knees, Murong Li took the silk "Minister's Decree" from the old man's hand
The old man bowed his waist and quickly helped Murongli up on the kneeling ground with both hands. Compared with the surprised and envious reactions of the people present, Murongli seemed a little worried.
The old man raised his hand, "Princess, please come with the old slave." The group moved towards the depths of the city
A jet-black door plaque hangs above the dark red wooden door, and the three large characters of "Murong Mansion" inlaid with gold powder on the door plaque are even more dazzling against the black door plaque.
The old man smiled, "Princess, this is the mansion chosen by the king for you. This place is next to the market, but it is secluded, and it is the closest to the palace. It is convenient for the princess to go up and down. I have sent someone to clean it up. The princess will leave today." Ready to move in”
Murong Li thanked the old man, and signaled Fang Ye to reward him, Fang Ye presented a brocade box carved from pear blossom wood to the old man with both hands, the old man weighed the heavy wooden box with a smile, then put it into his big sleeves." The princess is so favored by the king at such a young age, she will have a bright future in the future."
Murongli nodded slightly, "My lord, I'm sorry to run here personally, and my lord to thank the king for his kindness on behalf of my minister."
The old man, "The Princess is polite. This is the old slave's job. Why should I bother to say it? But the old slave will rely on you, the Princess, a lot in the future."
After the old man left, Fang Ye looked at his lord standing in front of the door, and vaguely noticed that the lord seemed to be thinking, and then stepped forward, "My lord, I must have received such a reward when I first arrived in the king's city. I think the king appreciates it very much." my lord"
Murongli's slightly frowned brows were like a quiet lake, and he said indifferently, "Every cake that falls from the sky will have a hole in front of it. Fang Ye, you remember, from today onwards, you need to be extremely careful in your words and deeds."
Fang Ye bowed with both hands on his forehead and said, "My subordinates will keep it in my heart."
Murong Li "opened the door"
Fang Ye paused for a moment, his expression hesitant, but he still stepped forward and pushed open the heavy wooden door.
After entering the mansion, Murongli "When there is no one else, just speak up"
Fang Ye took a breath, "That's it, why does the lord still want it?"
Murong Li's voice was slightly depressed, "Because he is the ruler and I am the subject."
Under the dim moonlight in the middle of the night, a figure entered Murongli's bedroom
On the day of the Hui Dynasty, the Taiwei deliberately made things difficult for Murongli. In front of all civil and military officials, he asked Murongli what the way of governing the country was. Dao grows, all things prosper; Xia Dao grows, all things come into being; Autumn Dao converges, things prosper; Winter Dao hides, all things find. When it is full, it hides, and when it hides, it rises again. You don’t know the end, you don’t know the beginning. The sage matches it, and thinks it is the broker of heaven and earth. Therefore, when the world is governed, benevolence and sages are hidden; when the world is in chaos, benevolence and sages prosper; the ultimate way is so. The saints are in the world, and their treasures are huge; because they are always seen, the people are safe. When the people move and move It is an opportunity, maneuvering and gaining and losing. Therefore, it is based on its yin, and it is based on its yang. It is the first to sing for it, and the world is in harmony with it. same light"
Everyone admired Murongli for having such talent at such a young age, there was an uproar in the court, the Taiwei also showed joy when he saw the king, and then said, "I wonder what Princess Yaoguang thinks about the way of benevolence?"
Murongli remained calm and composed, turned around and saluted the Taiwei, "I have little talent, I really don't dare to speak nonsense about such a great way."
Yuxuan said expectantly, "Since Ai Qing has such insights into the way of governing the country, you may as well speak up if you have something to say. I forgive you for your innocence."
Murongli bowed to Yuxuan and said, "I'm showing my ugliness. A benevolent monarch has six guards and three treasures."
Taiwei: "I don't know what the six guards and three treasures are?"
Murongli said, "The first is benevolence, the second is righteousness, the third is loyalty, the fourth is faith, the fifth is courage, and the sixth is strategy: these are the so-called six obediences.
If you are rich, you can see that there is no crime; if you value it, you can see that it has no arrogance; if you give it, you can see that it has no change; Its infinite.Those who are rich but not offended are benevolent; those who are valuable but not arrogant are righteous; those who give them without turning back are loyal; those who make them not hidden are trustworthy; those who are dangerous but not afraid are courageous; Poor, seek also.A person cannot borrow from others with the Three Treasures, and if he borrows from others, he will lose his prestige.
Big farmers, big workers, and big merchants are called the three treasures.Farmers have their own township, and there will be enough grain; workers, if their township is their own, there will be enough goods;The three treasures are safe in their own places, and the people don't worry about them.There is no chaos in the country, no chaos in the clan, no ministers are richer than the king, and no one is greater than the country.If the six guards are long, the king will prosper; if the three treasures are finished, the country will be safe. "
Yuxiu Longyan Dayue "It must be a blessing for me to be able to get this talent here. Come, I will reward the princess of Yaoguang with a hundred liang of gold and ten batches of brocade. I don't know if you have any idea about the establishment of a trade genus as proposed by Aiqing before." What do you think, if there is nothing else, the head of the trade department will be in charge of Princess Murong."
The Taiwei hurriedly said, "There are many doubts about the death of the former Princess Yaoguang, besides, Mu Ronghua was a person who was especially valued by the late king. At this moment... I'm afraid it will make the old minister unhappy."
Yuxuan was a little impatient, "Since you are a dead person, why bother to be too fussy, if the king rewards his subjects because he has to look at the face of the dead, then what is the difference between this king and a puppet when he is deceived? It's settled, retreat"
After the Hui Dynasty, folk songs were sung in the city, admiring the shadow of the red shirt, the beauty of the garden, the pear blossoms falling to the moon, the graceful princes leaving, the stones are like jade, like cutting like grinding, like cutting like grinding, the bones are green and green, Mo Shen is as old as a pool, Dou Yuan is more converging than a lake, the beauty of the city is unparalleled, and it is unparalleled in the world.
After retreating from the imperial court, guards of the Imperial Guard stopped Murongli at the gate of the palace.
Murongli followed the guards into Yuxuan's bedroom, Yuxuan was standing in front of the table with her back to Murongli
Murongli knelt down and saluted, "Mr. Murongli, please see the king" folded his hands and leveled his forehead. After a long while, Yuxuan turned around and said, "Princess, please get up."
Yuxuan beat Murongli up and down, "The princess has such talent at such a young age, she really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."
Murong Li nodded slightly, "Your Majesty praised me absurdly, but this humble minister is just talking nonsense, and I can't bear the word dragon and phoenix among people."
Yuxuan's face was slightly serious, "Should I call you Mu~ Princess or Murong Princess?"
Murong Chui was startled and the two willow-leaf eyebrows moved slightly closer to each other, but after a while, he returned to his usual indifferent voice, "Happy with the king"
Yuxuan's face softened a little, "Princess Murong is a smart person, and this king cut straight to the point. As soon as the princess took office, he established a trading vassal that had never existed before. I don't know what the role of this commercial vassal is and what it does?"
Murongli said, "Commerce is in charge of people's livelihood and commerce, establishing the law of civil commerce, and maintaining the power of commerce and commerce. Besides, Yaoguang is located at the junction of five countries. Unified management of commerce and trade has great benefits and disadvantages."
Yuxuan paced back and forth thoughtfully, "Okay, although this commercial genus has never existed in all dynasties, the princess has the courage to establish it, and must be able to manage it well. Since the princess has such a talent for business, don't How about making a deal with this king?"
Murongli said calmly, "I don't know what the king wants."
Yuxuan "Everyone knows that the princess is very intelligent and talented, it's not like the princess guesses what the king wants"
Murongli was still indifferent, "Your Majesty, you have not been on the throne for a long time now, and your foundation is not stable. Presumably, your Majesty wants to stabilize his post."
Yuxuan "I don't know what good strategy the princess has"
Murongli "Since it's a deal, I don't know what the king wants to take"
Yuxuan laughed suddenly, "It's refreshing to make a deal with a smart person. I heard that Aiqing was poisoned by a mistake since she was a child, so why not take the antidote as an injection, and in the future, I will deliver the antidote to Aiqing on time every month. What does Ai Qing think?"
Murong Li "good"
Murongli said, "The virtuous king is the elder of the three dynasties, and his strength is unknown. If the king should strengthen himself first, then he will gradually develop it when the time comes."
Yuxuan "reconciles the king's heart"
Back at the mansion, Murong Li took off his heavy court clothes, "Ah Yu, how are you doing?"
Fang Ye helped Murongli to untie the girdle inlaid with jade beads and agates, and said, "Second Young Master, everything is fine now, Master Lu and Madam Lu have not made things difficult for you. The young master hugged the young master and wept bitterly, and passed out. Now the young master is traveling with a few friends, reciting poems and playing music. You don’t have to worry, my lord.”
Murongli nodded happily and said, "It's you, not you"
Fang Ye paused for a moment and said "OK"
It was getting dark, Murongli looked at the volume in his hand by candlelight
Fang Ye: "My lord, someone has come from the palace, and they say they are here to deliver the king's reward."
Murongli "You can figure it out"
It was less than two hours since Murongli returned to the mansion, and Fang Ye had rejected no less than ten invitations from officials of all sizes.
Wait until Fang Ye handles everything properly, "My lord, there are as many as thirteen postings that have been returned today, including many important officials such as sage kings and Taiwei, so I'm afraid it will be...
Murong Li, "If I go today, I'm afraid that tomorrow Xuanzheng Palace will have more memorials to impeach me, Murong Li, for forming a clique for selfish interests and forming cliques."
Fang Ye lowered his head and looked at Murongli again, "Your Majesty rewards His Majesty so much, I think His Majesty will definitely use him highly."
Murong Li: "Oh, why did I see that?"
Fang Ye smiled slightly, "The specifications of the mansion given by the king are the same as those of the general's mansion, and the hundred taels of gold he gave is far from enough for the Taiwei's annual salary. Although there are only ten batches of brocades, each batch is of the highest grade, so it can be seen The king will definitely use the master in the future."
Murongli, however, looked at Fang Ye with a firm gaze and said with a smile, "The Yuxuan gave me such a reward, but he wanted to cause dissatisfaction among all the officials, and it was not tolerated by all the officials, so that he could win me over. Today, in the court for me The matter of suppressing Mu Ronghua is just to tell me that I, Murongli, besides him, is the only one who can protect me, reward me, and tolerate me. Besides, I just reached an agreement with him in the morning, and I showed up in other people's mansion at night , as far as the king is concerned, he is most afraid of his ministers having two minds."
Fang Ye bowed his head immediately, "This subordinate is stupid"
In the cloud-shrouded inner hall, Murong Li climbed on the tub and squinted his eyes to take a nap. Fang Ye came in with a bucket of freshly boiled hot water. He quickly rolled up his cuffs and soaked a square towel to wipe his snow-white back. When he raised his head and looked at his back, his ready-to-go hand was hanging in the air. A long and slender scar that slid down the spine from the thoracic spine to the lumbosacral region was eye-catching. Fang Ye held the handkerchief in his hand. It's a little tight.
Murongli's hearty voice broke the tranquility at the moment, "Fang Ye, the hot water is getting cold..."
Fang Ye was stunned and said "Okay"
After filling it with hot water, Murongli's immature face was pressed against the back of his hand, obviously falling asleep.Fang Ye saw how cute his master, who had lost his arrogance, turned out to be so cute, and smiled with his slightly red eyes.
After Fang Ye carefully wiped Murongli's whole body, and Murongli was still wandering in dreamland, Fang Ye took the long scarf and carried Murongli tightly wrapped back on the bed, covered him with the quilt and softly said, "Master~ son~, night~ An~"
Entering official career for the first time 3
Tianquan
Zhiming in the East Palace of Tianquan Palace pulled Mo Lan to change his servant's clothes and was about to sneak out of the palace, but was caught by the Taifu. He had no choice but to stand with his ears upright and listen to the teachings of the Taifu. Although it is April, the weather in Tianquan is much warmer than that in Xunsu, and all kinds of flowers in the courtyard are blooming beautifully, just like a girl in a beauty pageant.
Although he was just standing, Zhi Ming still couldn't restrain his drowsiness. He just stood like this and began to fight. The Taifu stomped his feet angrily when he saw this, "I will punish you for copying the king's way twenty times. When will you finish copying?" , when to eat"
In an instant, the drowsiness disappears
Inside the main hall
Xuanzheng, the head of the Tianquan Kingdom, discussed with the Taifu about various matters concerning the trade with Xisu and the alliance between the two countries.
Taifu, "Your Majesty, now that the new king of Xunsu has ascended the throne, our country, as a country of allies, should we send someone to congratulate him, and by the way, we can also discuss some matters about doing business with Xunsu. What's more, the new Princess Yaoguang I am only 13 years old, and my country must go through Yaoguang to do business with Qisu. Now the old minister feels that it is time to send an envoy to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement. First, we can discuss some matters that need to be changed in the agreement alliance, and second, we can also take the opportunity to explore these issues. The new emperor and Princess Yaoguang."
Zhi Xuan "cough cough,"
Taking a deep breath, "Ai Qing, I have the same idea as this king, so I will leave this matter to Ai Qing."
Taifu "My lord, the envoy sent"
Zhixuan, "If not, let the prince go there, so as to practice and experience. Wait a minute, the new Yaoguang princess is the person who evaluated the five kingdoms on the day of Huichao."
Taifu: "Yes, Your Majesty, this person once commented that the prince is"
Zhixuan felt a little helpless, "I'll just eat the straw bag waiting to die, right?"
Taifu: "Your Majesty, although the crown prince is playful, as long as he is strictly disciplined, he will definitely be a wise king in the future."
Zhixuan, "Ming'er is born with such a nature, it is his misfortune to be born in the emperor's family." There is a touch of sadness in the dark eyes
The style of painting is transferred to the East Palace
Zhiming copied the king's way while muttering, "Mo Lan, it's all your fault. If it weren't for your bad idea, this prince would not be here."
Mo Lan looked aggrieved, "Your Highness, how can you blame me for everything, if you weren't greedy for drunken chicken, you wouldn't be caught by the Taifu."
The hand holding the writing brush in the air trembled twice in mid-air, and the expression on his face was really cute, "Okay~, let's see how the prince will deal with you after finishing writing"
When Ziyu came back from the armory and saw the two arguing, he knew what was going on without thinking too much, and went to the barracks immediately.
After finishing speaking, there was a gurgling sound in their stomachs, and the two looked at each other for a moment, then hurriedly lowered their heads and began to work seriously.
After sunset, Zhiming Molan was still writing under the lamp, and Zhixuan took the soup and rice from the maid's hand and brought it to the table, "Okay, I should be tired after copying for a day, and I won't be too late to write after I finish my meal." , from now on, the two of you don’t want to disobey the Grand Tutor again.”
Before the words were finished, Zhiming had already picked himself up from the soft couch and jumped to Zhixuan's side, holding Zhixuan's arm and acting like a baby, "Father, I know I was wrong tomorrow, and I won't do it in the future, but you, father, are still in good health." It’s not easy, why did you come to my side?”
Zhixuan waved his hand to signal Mo Lan to stand up, "This king has something to do, and I have to leave it to you two to handle."
Zhi Ming looked surprised, "The two of us will do it? Father, are you right?"
Seeing Zhiming's open mouth with a loving face, Zhixuan smiled and said, "That's right, it's you two."
Suddenly his face turned serious, "The crown prince obeyed the order clearly. This king ordered you to stay with the Taifu on an envoy in three days. Mo Lan ordered you to be the chief guard of the envoy, and lead thirty imperial troops to ensure the envoy's safety." The two Kneel down to give thanks.
Three days later, Tianquan brought a congratulatory gift, and a group of people set off in a mighty way
The spy sent by Yu Xiao to investigate Murongli has returned
After several twists and turns, the spies found out that Mu Ronghua had been in power for six years and had secretly done a lot of shady things. Mu Ronghua had a killer called Yan, who was vicious and powerful in martial arts. , who is tall and tall, and looks like a ghost, and some people say that Yan is petite like a child, and looks handsome like a ghost, so he is also called Yan Mei. Except for Mu Ronghua, no one has ever known who this person is and Mu Ronghua's These nasty things were all done by Yan Mei.
Murong Mansion
Fang Ye paced back and forth in the front yard of the mansion, carefully questioned and inspected the dozen or so people in sackcloth standing in front of him, and after many rounds of selection, he selected eight of them and brought them to Murongli, "Master, these are all Among the 19 applicants, the hands and feet are more agile and flexible”
Murong Li leaned halfway on the soft bed, his deep eyes could only accommodate the plum blossom-like seal script, he hummed casually, Fang Ye quickly assigned the people and then dismissed them.After everyone dispersed, two of them still had no intention of retreating.
Fang Ye: "Anything else?"
I saw the two people kneeling down and said in unison, "My lord, I've finally found you." Those short words couldn't hide the joy and hardship in them.
Murong Li looked expressionlessly at the two dignified but extraordinary people who were kneeling in front of him, and said for a moment, "I don't know you two?"
One of them was middle-aged, his complexion was dark and his eyes were filled with joy, "This subordinate is Lu Qiyang, the former chief envoy of the Yaoguang County Palace. Do you still remember the old minister?" Lu Qiyang looked at Murongli's still calm eyes and pulled Bi Murong beside him How old is he? "This is my son, Lu Zhijie"
Murong Li suddenly got up and helped the two people kneeling on the ground, "Uncle Lu has worked hard, it's my nephew who is blind, please don't blame uncle, Fang Ye, get some tea."
Murong Li helped him onto the pear wood chair next to him, Lu Zhijie "After six years, Ali has grown into a man, how have you been all these years?"
Murong Li lowered his head and smiled indifferently, his eyes were a little watery, it was the first time in six years that someone asked him how he was doing, and then he raised his head and smiled "It's okay"
Lu Qiyang's somewhat rough hands lightly attached to Murongli's arm, looked at Murongli lovingly and said softly, "I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime, but I never thought that you would return to court a few days ago." The answer is astonishing to the world, and I found it here immediately, it is really the princess who has a spirit in the sky."
Lu Zhijie: "I remember that six years ago, Ali went to Fuyushan Temple with his wife. How is Ali?"
Murongli frowned, and a cold air came over him, but he still said calmly, "Back then, the Tiancheng Temple fire was extremely dangerous. I thought we would die here. It was General Qi who saved me and A Yu."
Lu Qiyang, "Who are those three corpses?"
Murong Li lowered his head slowly, unable to see his face clearly, only opened his mouth slightly after a while, "It's mother, and Axu, it was Axu who replaced me, but mother, never... came out" and lowered his head The broken voice couldn't hide the piercing sadness.
Lu Zhijie "That Ah Yu"
Murong Li, "Ayu is fine, Ayu didn't enter the palace that day"
Lu Qiyang "The other corpse is"
Murong Li, "During the panic, I didn't see who he was, I only knew that General Tong Qi and A Xu came together."
Lu Qiyang "Second Young Master is fine now"
Murong Li "Uncle Fang Xin, Ayu is fine now"
Lu Qiyang, "My son is now the master of Yaoguang County. I think Brother De and Mrs. Sister-in-law will also feel relieved when they are in heaven."
After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, the three of them went to sleep separately.
Before dawn, Fang Ye drove the carriage from the back door of the Murong Mansion and drove into the depths of the night
Mo Lan and Zhi Ming's group traveled forward for nearly a month before arriving at Xunsu. They rushed from Tianquan to Xunsu. Originally, they could reach Xunsu in no more than [-] days, but they walked all the way. There are too many rare things, so it took a month.
When they arrived at Xunsu, the prince of Xunsu, Yu Xiao, received Zhiming in person. Yuxun heard that Zhiming was pure-hearted, and he liked to fight dogs and chickens on weekdays, so he granted Zhiming permission to come and go in Xunsu Wangcheng at will, and appointed Yuxiao to take full power over this matter. Responsible.
In the Xuanzheng Hall of Susu, King Susu discussed political affairs with Taishi, Taiwei, and Tianquan Taifu.
On the bustling street, Zhi Ming is curious about all kinds of strange things like a child, looking here and touching there.
Three hundred miles away, Murongli and Fang Ye are sitting and resting in a tea shed by the roadside
Tianxuan Zhenxi County
Halfway up the hill shrouded in light mist, under a gazebo built with dead wood and grass, Murong Yu, who is dressed in plain clothes and looks as pure and elegant as a fairy, is playing chess pieces with his colleague Gongsun Qianxian (Murong Yu has followed Ji Ruoxue since childhood) Ronghua's Wife grew up in Tianxuan. Ji Ruoshi is the wife of Lu Ziran, Wenlin Lang of the West County of Tianxuan, the sister of Ji Ruxue. Lu Ziran is the son-in-law of the Ji family. After occupying Yaoguang, due to the disharmony between the two countries, it was convenient for Mu Ronghua to live in a divided land, and they could only get together during festivals. Murong Yu and Gongsun Qian were studying in the same private school) drinking a pot of weak tea, behind Zhou Liang and Gongsun Qian's attendants silently Serving his master.Both of them had pleasant expressions on their faces, talking and laughing happily.
The shallow crescent moon hangs in the mountains. In the simple and unadorned room, Murongli reads the book by candle as always, while Fang Ye starts to feel sleepy while sitting on the chair.Xu had been reading for too long, Murongli put down the book and tilted his head back, turned around, and saw Fang Ye's head nodding from time to time, although it was already a beautiful May, the cold dew in the mountain night was still heavy.Murongli got up and gently attached the cloak that Fang Ye had draped over his shoulders to Fang Ye.
The sound of light footsteps outside the window came and went, Murongli stepped forward softly to blow out the candle, just turned around, the Bai Yuyan branch in his hand was out of its sheath, Fang Ye also woke up suddenly at this time, eagerly looking at the candle in the night. Looking for that familiar face, seeing that his master was safe and sound, his heart felt a little more at ease.
The two looked at each other knowingly, back to back in an instant, the sound of footsteps approaching, Fang Ye's hand holding the sword was also tightened, and almost at the same time the door and window were rushed open by a group of masked assassins in black. In the night, the sounds of fighting filled the loneliness of the mountain village. Murongli's clothes were stained with the assassin's blood, but the mottled blood stains were not at all obtrusive. Paired with a long light red skirt and a slender but not weak figure, Murongli was in Qingcheng. Against the backdrop of her beautiful face, she showed a special charm.Murongli turned around and approached the assassin, who had already fallen down, "Fang Ye, leave the rest to me, you go and protect the head of the household couple."
Fang Ye touched the assassin's neck and stabbed, "Master, you!"
Murong Li "It's okay, let's go"
With a leap, Fang Ye disappeared in front of the window. Soon, Murongli eliminated all the assassins in the room. There were several assassin corpses lying scattered in the farmyard, and there were iron objects interacting with each other outside the earthen wall covered with moss and weeds. The sound of collision.
Fang Ye, "Master, the old man and his wife are fine, but the old lady was frightened and passed out."
Murongli wiped Yanzhi's blood, "Give them some money to see a doctor. After all, this matter is caused by me. Write a letter to the county magistrate about my assassination as soon as possible, so that the government will not trouble the old man in the future, and help me buy some money." something." Fang Ye nodded in salute and disappeared into the vast night
Murong Li "come out"
A black figure entered over the wall, knelt down and saluted Murongli, "My lord"
Murong Li, "If you don't stay here and stay well, what are you doing here?"
Geng Yin lowered his head, "This subordinate knows his mistake. This subordinate is worried about the safety of the Lord. This subordinate has found out that the two assassins on the road to and from Xunsu this time were all committed by the old Mu Ronghua party headed by Mr. Zhao."
Murong Li: "Well, you go back to your residence first."
The black figure disappeared on the wall again, as if it had never been there before.Murongli's steps were a little unsteady, he stepped into the room in twos and twos, and closed the doors and windows tightly without leaving a single gap.It's just that the extremely subtle whispers can be faintly heard intermittently outside the window, which seems a bit out of place compared to the quietness of the mountains...
Entering official career for the first time 4
Tianshu Longgui County
Ling Sikong's investigation into the embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief went very smoothly. Ling Sikong knew that there was something strange about it, but now Tianshu Wang Mengchang was suffering from a cough. What's more, the case progressed so smoothly.
The singing and dancing in the main hall of the Xunsu Palace is peaceful, and the Xunsu King is holding a celebration to welcome the envoys. Besides the delicious food, Zhiming is already drinking a little too much. The Tai Tuo sent Mo Lan to take him to prevent Zhiming from losing his manners after drinking. Go to bed tomorrow.
After leaving the main hall, Zhi Ming swayed from side to side without any rules, which made Mo Lan miserable. The breeze blew, mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, and Mo Lan was also a little drunk by the refreshing breeze. The road is not big, and the drunkenness comes and goes quickly.
The two walked towards the depths of the flower fragrance in this way. There was a row of not-so-high tree vines growing in the open space outside the promenade, and the intertwined branches covered the promenade, surrounded by clusters of small white flowers. It was blooming cheerfully and freely, Zhi Ming folded one and stared at the flower for a long time, "Beauty, the world is the proof, this flower is the beauty, are you willing to marry me as a wife?" Mo Lan was so frightened by this sudden confession that she lost her drunkenness , the maids passing by all secretly concealed their laughter, and the embarrassing sense of shame instantly flushed Mo Lan's ears, and Mo Lan hurriedly pulled Zhi Ming away.
When Fang Ye came back, what he saw was Murongli lying on the ground, with the quilt rolled under his body, it seemed that he had rolled off the bed.
Fang Ye carried Murongli to the bed, covered the quilt, and gently wiped the dust on Murongli's face with a towel soaked in warm water. When he wiped his hands, he realized that although Murongli was in a deep sleep, his hands were still intact. Holding it, dark red impurities could be vaguely seen in the nails, Fang Ye took a little effort to move Murongli's hand away, and gently rubbed the tense muscles.
The slight scratches on the edge of the bed caught Fang Ye's eyes. It has been more than a month since Fang Ye and Murong Li. The principle that the personal servants and their masters sleep in separate rooms has been the master's inner room since ancient times, and the servants are in the outer room or on the floor, so that they can serve the master at any time, but Fang Ye has his own bedroom.
Although Fang Ye did not sleep in the same room as Murongli, the bedroom must be next door to Murongli's. Besides, Fang Ye had heard small voices coming from Murongli's room several times at night.
When Murongli woke up and found himself lying on the bed, Fang Ye looked at him with complicated eyes, Murongli knew it, and couldn't hide it anymore and said lightly, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
A flash of surprise flashed in Fang Ye's eyes, and then he regained his composure. That's right, his master is extremely intelligent, so how could he not know what he was thinking about in his heart, "Master, body"
Before Fang Ye could finish speaking, Murongli said calmly, "It's just a poisonous hair."
Fang Ye asked eagerly, "What kind of poison is it?"
Murongli's expression darkened a lot, and it took a moment for him to softly reply "rotten bone and rotten heart"
Fang Ye's body that was originally sitting on the edge of the bed couldn't help standing up straight when he heard these four words, his eyes flickered for a moment, Fang Ye was born as a dark guard, and he knew clearly in his heart how powerful the poison was, "It can't be..."
Murongli looked into Fang Ye's eyes, "It's Heaven's right to control drugs."
Fang Ye lowered his head and didn't look at Murongli, and then said, "Master is tired, let's rest early, and the subordinates go down to prepare breakfast." After saluting, Fang Ye quickly exited the door, leaving Murongli alone to look out the window and said, "It seems , today is a good day"
Fang Ye was cooking porridge in his hand, but he was thinking about Tianquan Anti-drug One in his heart.
There is no antidote for this poison. Once poisoned, the poisoned person will suffer from heart-wrenching pain for the rest of his life.The so-called antidote is just that it can suppress the poisonous hair after taking it, and it has no detoxification effect.
It was originally used to control the dark guards and dead soldiers. The monarch drug Xuanminglian used grows in the Xuefeng Mountain deep in the Tianquan Yuzhao Mountain Range. Xuefeng Mountain is covered with snow all year round, so Xuanminglian grows in the snow Among them, it breaks through the snow in June every year, and the growth period is only a short month. It blooms every June [-]th, and the flowering period is only one day. name.
In order to make eclipses, it needs to be picked on the [-]th of June when the sky is clear and the moon is shining enough.
Therefore, the nature of this body is from yin to cold, and the kung fu of martial arts practitioners is mostly yang, so the deeper the kung fu is, the more severe the pain will be when the poison occurs. Although the poison is cruel, it does not hurt people's lives.However, the Sky Feather Kungfu practiced by Murong Li is a kung fu of the most yang and the most rigid.
Fang Ye recalled the first time he met his master: Fang Ye was kneeling on the busy street at that time. Fang Ye remembered it very clearly. A helpless child, who couldn't even pay for the medicine, sold everything he could, so he had to sell himself to bury his father. At that time, he was so desperate and helpless that he didn't feel that he was still alive.
God is very good, and it seems to be spending the Zhongyuan Festival with the world.Mu Ronghua's younger brother, Mu Ronggui, was the biggest brothel owner in Yaoguang City at that time. So he whipped me with his famous scales, but the master blocked it for me. The long scar on the spine on the back of the master was thanks to him. In the end, the master buried my father for me and took me back to the manor to take me in. I became the master's personal servant.
A few days later, Mu Ronggui was beheaded by the old princess for abducting and selling women and children, forcing her into prostitution, and disturbing the public order.The master treats me very well and never treats me like a slave like others.It was also from that moment that I swore to myself that I would repay my master's kindness even if I was completely heartbroken in this life.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. On the first day of October, my wife took the two of them to offer incense and fulfill their vows.It was also that day that the old Princess made a deal with Namu Ronghua to save us and other servants of the family, and pleaded guilty to colluding with the enemy and treason.
From then on, the so-called "virtuous master's rebellion" was put down by Mu Ronghua, and Mu Ronghua took the position of princess as a matter of course. The old princess ordered Lord Gengwu to send us out of the city and come in alone.
Since then, I have never seen Lord Geng Wu again, and I have also separated from my master. After separation, I entered the shadow camp as a secret guard. I practiced hard for six years, but I never thought that it would be easy for my master to meet when I was born. .Thinking about it, Fang Ye smiled unconsciously. Perhaps even Fang Ye himself hadn't realized how precious this renewed master-servant relationship is.
After tossing around in the middle of the night, Murongli had fallen asleep naively, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When meeting Fang Ye for the first time, it was probably Murongli's sympathy. People have different looks, that kind of eyes are the eyes that a servant should not have in this era, because what can't be hidden in the eyes is the consonant feeling like a close friend, and it is not contaminated with the noble and humble atmosphere of this unfair society.
But the things in this world are as precious as they are hard-won.It is also this persistent bond that will form the life-and-death relationship between the two in the future, and it is also one of the reasons why Murong Li dares to devote everything to fighting.
Tianshu Longgui County
Ling Sikong was rushing to the Tianshu Royal City carriage with the drafted complaint and memorial, as well as the evidence that the three great families embezzled the disaster relief money and food. Has it been delivered to the king?"
The guard who was driving fast stared straight ahead, "The subordinate has already done everything, the master can rest assured."
In Tianshu Palace, the three major families forcibly entered the palace.King Tianshu was lying on the bed dying, Su Han stepped forward unwillingly, half-bent down, made a perfunctory bow, and then said, "Your Majesty, the spies came to report that Ling Sikong embezzled the relief money. This is the request of Princess Longgui." The report, and the details of Ling Sikong's embezzlement and bribery, Ling Sikong has arrived in the royal city in a few days, please let the king decide."
Cui Lin immediately echoed, "I hope the king will punish such treacherous and evil people severely."
King Tianshu supported his body to start, his face without a trace of blood turned paler from anger, as if he was dead.
Looking at the report and the so-called ledger in front of him, a mouthful of blood spewed out, instantly turning the whole palace into a mess.
Zhi Ming kicked over the covered quilt, and Mo Lan also lay casually on the other side of the slump. What the Taifu saw after the banquet was so disrespectful, he was instantly annoyed but helplessly picked up the quilt It covered the two people who were lying in a mess.
Taifu "come"
Little Fatty ran in, his round and chubby cheeks were so cute, no wonder Zhi Ming named him Xiaopang, "What are your orders, Master Taifu?"
Taifu "give the order down, pack up and leave tomorrow"
Murongli and Fang Ye are still resting at the farmer's house. Fang Ye, "Master, there is news from Geng Yin that the Heavenly Power Mission must pass through Yaoguang on their way back home, should we prepare..."
Murongli sat up slowly and looked at the cloudless blue sky, "Since you have already come, why bother to go back in such a hurry, it will take ten days to get to Yaoguang from here, isn't there still that persistence, not to mention, the people here The Yuqiong flower will be in full bloom in two days, it's rare for me to feel so at ease, and it's not too late to leave after admiring the flowers." Fang Ye was also delighted, because this was the first time Fang Ye had seen such a lazy master.
Murongli stretched out his hand to block the glare of the sun and thought: This sun is warm no matter where it is, and the people who shine on it will warm their hearts...
At Tianshu King's Mausoleum, Su Han, Cui Lin and others summoned the court ministers to wait for Ling Sikong to throw himself into the trap, but Tianshu King finally failed to wait for Ling Sikong.Many courtiers in white clothes and filial piety, there are
Murongli stepped forward and bowed to salute, "This is Murongli, my lord..."
The old man said, "This old slave is the head of internal affairs. The king knows that the princess is coming soon, so I specially sent this old slave here to wait for the princess."
Murong Li "The King"
The old man "Murongli, the master of Yaoguang County, received the order. Murongli, the master of Yaoguang County, set up a new business department. The construction is novel, bold and innovative, avoiding the old law and tradition, and a mansion is specially given. It has been rewarded and worked hard."
Murong Li Fang Ye knelt down to receive the decree, under the city gate where people came and went, all the men, women and children present were waiting on their knees, Murong Li took the silk "Minister's Decree" from the old man's hand
The old man bowed his waist and quickly helped Murongli up on the kneeling ground with both hands. Compared with the surprised and envious reactions of the people present, Murongli seemed a little worried.
The old man raised his hand, "Princess, please come with the old slave." The group moved towards the depths of the city
A jet-black door plaque hangs above the dark red wooden door, and the three large characters of "Murong Mansion" inlaid with gold powder on the door plaque are even more dazzling against the black door plaque.
The old man smiled, "Princess, this is the mansion chosen by the king for you. This place is next to the market, but it is secluded, and it is the closest to the palace. It is convenient for the princess to go up and down. I have sent someone to clean it up. The princess will leave today." Ready to move in”
Murong Li thanked the old man, and signaled Fang Ye to reward him, Fang Ye presented a brocade box carved from pear blossom wood to the old man with both hands, the old man weighed the heavy wooden box with a smile, then put it into his big sleeves." The princess is so favored by the king at such a young age, she will have a bright future in the future."
Murongli nodded slightly, "My lord, I'm sorry to run here personally, and my lord to thank the king for his kindness on behalf of my minister."
The old man, "The Princess is polite. This is the old slave's job. Why should I bother to say it? But the old slave will rely on you, the Princess, a lot in the future."
After the old man left, Fang Ye looked at his lord standing in front of the door, and vaguely noticed that the lord seemed to be thinking, and then stepped forward, "My lord, I must have received such a reward when I first arrived in the king's city. I think the king appreciates it very much." my lord"
Murongli's slightly frowned brows were like a quiet lake, and he said indifferently, "Every cake that falls from the sky will have a hole in front of it. Fang Ye, you remember, from today onwards, you need to be extremely careful in your words and deeds."
Fang Ye bowed with both hands on his forehead and said, "My subordinates will keep it in my heart."
Murong Li "opened the door"
Fang Ye paused for a moment, his expression hesitant, but he still stepped forward and pushed open the heavy wooden door.
After entering the mansion, Murongli "When there is no one else, just speak up"
Fang Ye took a breath, "That's it, why does the lord still want it?"
Murong Li's voice was slightly depressed, "Because he is the ruler and I am the subject."
Under the dim moonlight in the middle of the night, a figure entered Murongli's bedroom
On the day of the Hui Dynasty, the Taiwei deliberately made things difficult for Murongli. In front of all civil and military officials, he asked Murongli what the way of governing the country was. Dao grows, all things prosper; Xia Dao grows, all things come into being; Autumn Dao converges, things prosper; Winter Dao hides, all things find. When it is full, it hides, and when it hides, it rises again. You don’t know the end, you don’t know the beginning. The sage matches it, and thinks it is the broker of heaven and earth. Therefore, when the world is governed, benevolence and sages are hidden; when the world is in chaos, benevolence and sages prosper; the ultimate way is so. The saints are in the world, and their treasures are huge; because they are always seen, the people are safe. When the people move and move It is an opportunity, maneuvering and gaining and losing. Therefore, it is based on its yin, and it is based on its yang. It is the first to sing for it, and the world is in harmony with it. same light"
Everyone admired Murongli for having such talent at such a young age, there was an uproar in the court, the Taiwei also showed joy when he saw the king, and then said, "I wonder what Princess Yaoguang thinks about the way of benevolence?"
Murongli remained calm and composed, turned around and saluted the Taiwei, "I have little talent, I really don't dare to speak nonsense about such a great way."
Yuxuan said expectantly, "Since Ai Qing has such insights into the way of governing the country, you may as well speak up if you have something to say. I forgive you for your innocence."
Murongli bowed to Yuxuan and said, "I'm showing my ugliness. A benevolent monarch has six guards and three treasures."
Taiwei: "I don't know what the six guards and three treasures are?"
Murongli said, "The first is benevolence, the second is righteousness, the third is loyalty, the fourth is faith, the fifth is courage, and the sixth is strategy: these are the so-called six obediences.
If you are rich, you can see that there is no crime; if you value it, you can see that it has no arrogance; if you give it, you can see that it has no change; Its infinite.Those who are rich but not offended are benevolent; those who are valuable but not arrogant are righteous; those who give them without turning back are loyal; those who make them not hidden are trustworthy; those who are dangerous but not afraid are courageous; Poor, seek also.A person cannot borrow from others with the Three Treasures, and if he borrows from others, he will lose his prestige.
Big farmers, big workers, and big merchants are called the three treasures.Farmers have their own township, and there will be enough grain; workers, if their township is their own, there will be enough goods;The three treasures are safe in their own places, and the people don't worry about them.There is no chaos in the country, no chaos in the clan, no ministers are richer than the king, and no one is greater than the country.If the six guards are long, the king will prosper; if the three treasures are finished, the country will be safe. "
Yuxiu Longyan Dayue "It must be a blessing for me to be able to get this talent here. Come, I will reward the princess of Yaoguang with a hundred liang of gold and ten batches of brocade. I don't know if you have any idea about the establishment of a trade genus as proposed by Aiqing before." What do you think, if there is nothing else, the head of the trade department will be in charge of Princess Murong."
The Taiwei hurriedly said, "There are many doubts about the death of the former Princess Yaoguang, besides, Mu Ronghua was a person who was especially valued by the late king. At this moment... I'm afraid it will make the old minister unhappy."
Yuxuan was a little impatient, "Since you are a dead person, why bother to be too fussy, if the king rewards his subjects because he has to look at the face of the dead, then what is the difference between this king and a puppet when he is deceived? It's settled, retreat"
After the Hui Dynasty, folk songs were sung in the city, admiring the shadow of the red shirt, the beauty of the garden, the pear blossoms falling to the moon, the graceful princes leaving, the stones are like jade, like cutting like grinding, like cutting like grinding, the bones are green and green, Mo Shen is as old as a pool, Dou Yuan is more converging than a lake, the beauty of the city is unparalleled, and it is unparalleled in the world.
After retreating from the imperial court, guards of the Imperial Guard stopped Murongli at the gate of the palace.
Murongli followed the guards into Yuxuan's bedroom, Yuxuan was standing in front of the table with her back to Murongli
Murongli knelt down and saluted, "Mr. Murongli, please see the king" folded his hands and leveled his forehead. After a long while, Yuxuan turned around and said, "Princess, please get up."
Yuxuan beat Murongli up and down, "The princess has such talent at such a young age, she really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."
Murong Li nodded slightly, "Your Majesty praised me absurdly, but this humble minister is just talking nonsense, and I can't bear the word dragon and phoenix among people."
Yuxuan's face was slightly serious, "Should I call you Mu~ Princess or Murong Princess?"
Murong Chui was startled and the two willow-leaf eyebrows moved slightly closer to each other, but after a while, he returned to his usual indifferent voice, "Happy with the king"
Yuxuan's face softened a little, "Princess Murong is a smart person, and this king cut straight to the point. As soon as the princess took office, he established a trading vassal that had never existed before. I don't know what the role of this commercial vassal is and what it does?"
Murongli said, "Commerce is in charge of people's livelihood and commerce, establishing the law of civil commerce, and maintaining the power of commerce and commerce. Besides, Yaoguang is located at the junction of five countries. Unified management of commerce and trade has great benefits and disadvantages."
Yuxuan paced back and forth thoughtfully, "Okay, although this commercial genus has never existed in all dynasties, the princess has the courage to establish it, and must be able to manage it well. Since the princess has such a talent for business, don't How about making a deal with this king?"
Murongli said calmly, "I don't know what the king wants."
Yuxuan "Everyone knows that the princess is very intelligent and talented, it's not like the princess guesses what the king wants"
Murongli was still indifferent, "Your Majesty, you have not been on the throne for a long time now, and your foundation is not stable. Presumably, your Majesty wants to stabilize his post."
Yuxuan "I don't know what good strategy the princess has"
Murongli "Since it's a deal, I don't know what the king wants to take"
Yuxuan laughed suddenly, "It's refreshing to make a deal with a smart person. I heard that Aiqing was poisoned by a mistake since she was a child, so why not take the antidote as an injection, and in the future, I will deliver the antidote to Aiqing on time every month. What does Ai Qing think?"
Murong Li "good"
Murongli said, "The virtuous king is the elder of the three dynasties, and his strength is unknown. If the king should strengthen himself first, then he will gradually develop it when the time comes."
Yuxuan "reconciles the king's heart"
Back at the mansion, Murong Li took off his heavy court clothes, "Ah Yu, how are you doing?"
Fang Ye helped Murongli to untie the girdle inlaid with jade beads and agates, and said, "Second Young Master, everything is fine now, Master Lu and Madam Lu have not made things difficult for you. The young master hugged the young master and wept bitterly, and passed out. Now the young master is traveling with a few friends, reciting poems and playing music. You don’t have to worry, my lord.”
Murongli nodded happily and said, "It's you, not you"
Fang Ye paused for a moment and said "OK"
It was getting dark, Murongli looked at the volume in his hand by candlelight
Fang Ye: "My lord, someone has come from the palace, and they say they are here to deliver the king's reward."
Murongli "You can figure it out"
It was less than two hours since Murongli returned to the mansion, and Fang Ye had rejected no less than ten invitations from officials of all sizes.
Wait until Fang Ye handles everything properly, "My lord, there are as many as thirteen postings that have been returned today, including many important officials such as sage kings and Taiwei, so I'm afraid it will be...
Murong Li, "If I go today, I'm afraid that tomorrow Xuanzheng Palace will have more memorials to impeach me, Murong Li, for forming a clique for selfish interests and forming cliques."
Fang Ye lowered his head and looked at Murongli again, "Your Majesty rewards His Majesty so much, I think His Majesty will definitely use him highly."
Murong Li: "Oh, why did I see that?"
Fang Ye smiled slightly, "The specifications of the mansion given by the king are the same as those of the general's mansion, and the hundred taels of gold he gave is far from enough for the Taiwei's annual salary. Although there are only ten batches of brocades, each batch is of the highest grade, so it can be seen The king will definitely use the master in the future."
Murongli, however, looked at Fang Ye with a firm gaze and said with a smile, "The Yuxuan gave me such a reward, but he wanted to cause dissatisfaction among all the officials, and it was not tolerated by all the officials, so that he could win me over. Today, in the court for me The matter of suppressing Mu Ronghua is just to tell me that I, Murongli, besides him, is the only one who can protect me, reward me, and tolerate me. Besides, I just reached an agreement with him in the morning, and I showed up in other people's mansion at night , as far as the king is concerned, he is most afraid of his ministers having two minds."
Fang Ye bowed his head immediately, "This subordinate is stupid"
In the cloud-shrouded inner hall, Murong Li climbed on the tub and squinted his eyes to take a nap. Fang Ye came in with a bucket of freshly boiled hot water. He quickly rolled up his cuffs and soaked a square towel to wipe his snow-white back. When he raised his head and looked at his back, his ready-to-go hand was hanging in the air. A long and slender scar that slid down the spine from the thoracic spine to the lumbosacral region was eye-catching. Fang Ye held the handkerchief in his hand. It's a little tight.
Murongli's hearty voice broke the tranquility at the moment, "Fang Ye, the hot water is getting cold..."
Fang Ye was stunned and said "Okay"
After filling it with hot water, Murongli's immature face was pressed against the back of his hand, obviously falling asleep.Fang Ye saw how cute his master, who had lost his arrogance, turned out to be so cute, and smiled with his slightly red eyes.
After Fang Ye carefully wiped Murongli's whole body, and Murongli was still wandering in dreamland, Fang Ye took the long scarf and carried Murongli tightly wrapped back on the bed, covered him with the quilt and softly said, "Master~ son~, night~ An~"
Entering official career for the first time 3
Tianquan
Zhiming in the East Palace of Tianquan Palace pulled Mo Lan to change his servant's clothes and was about to sneak out of the palace, but was caught by the Taifu. He had no choice but to stand with his ears upright and listen to the teachings of the Taifu. Although it is April, the weather in Tianquan is much warmer than that in Xunsu, and all kinds of flowers in the courtyard are blooming beautifully, just like a girl in a beauty pageant.
Although he was just standing, Zhi Ming still couldn't restrain his drowsiness. He just stood like this and began to fight. The Taifu stomped his feet angrily when he saw this, "I will punish you for copying the king's way twenty times. When will you finish copying?" , when to eat"
In an instant, the drowsiness disappears
Inside the main hall
Xuanzheng, the head of the Tianquan Kingdom, discussed with the Taifu about various matters concerning the trade with Xisu and the alliance between the two countries.
Taifu, "Your Majesty, now that the new king of Xunsu has ascended the throne, our country, as a country of allies, should we send someone to congratulate him, and by the way, we can also discuss some matters about doing business with Xunsu. What's more, the new Princess Yaoguang I am only 13 years old, and my country must go through Yaoguang to do business with Qisu. Now the old minister feels that it is time to send an envoy to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement. First, we can discuss some matters that need to be changed in the agreement alliance, and second, we can also take the opportunity to explore these issues. The new emperor and Princess Yaoguang."
Zhi Xuan "cough cough,"
Taking a deep breath, "Ai Qing, I have the same idea as this king, so I will leave this matter to Ai Qing."
Taifu "My lord, the envoy sent"
Zhixuan, "If not, let the prince go there, so as to practice and experience. Wait a minute, the new Yaoguang princess is the person who evaluated the five kingdoms on the day of Huichao."
Taifu: "Yes, Your Majesty, this person once commented that the prince is"
Zhixuan felt a little helpless, "I'll just eat the straw bag waiting to die, right?"
Taifu: "Your Majesty, although the crown prince is playful, as long as he is strictly disciplined, he will definitely be a wise king in the future."
Zhixuan, "Ming'er is born with such a nature, it is his misfortune to be born in the emperor's family." There is a touch of sadness in the dark eyes
The style of painting is transferred to the East Palace
Zhiming copied the king's way while muttering, "Mo Lan, it's all your fault. If it weren't for your bad idea, this prince would not be here."
Mo Lan looked aggrieved, "Your Highness, how can you blame me for everything, if you weren't greedy for drunken chicken, you wouldn't be caught by the Taifu."
The hand holding the writing brush in the air trembled twice in mid-air, and the expression on his face was really cute, "Okay~, let's see how the prince will deal with you after finishing writing"
When Ziyu came back from the armory and saw the two arguing, he knew what was going on without thinking too much, and went to the barracks immediately.
After finishing speaking, there was a gurgling sound in their stomachs, and the two looked at each other for a moment, then hurriedly lowered their heads and began to work seriously.
After sunset, Zhiming Molan was still writing under the lamp, and Zhixuan took the soup and rice from the maid's hand and brought it to the table, "Okay, I should be tired after copying for a day, and I won't be too late to write after I finish my meal." , from now on, the two of you don’t want to disobey the Grand Tutor again.”
Before the words were finished, Zhiming had already picked himself up from the soft couch and jumped to Zhixuan's side, holding Zhixuan's arm and acting like a baby, "Father, I know I was wrong tomorrow, and I won't do it in the future, but you, father, are still in good health." It’s not easy, why did you come to my side?”
Zhixuan waved his hand to signal Mo Lan to stand up, "This king has something to do, and I have to leave it to you two to handle."
Zhi Ming looked surprised, "The two of us will do it? Father, are you right?"
Seeing Zhiming's open mouth with a loving face, Zhixuan smiled and said, "That's right, it's you two."
Suddenly his face turned serious, "The crown prince obeyed the order clearly. This king ordered you to stay with the Taifu on an envoy in three days. Mo Lan ordered you to be the chief guard of the envoy, and lead thirty imperial troops to ensure the envoy's safety." The two Kneel down to give thanks.
Three days later, Tianquan brought a congratulatory gift, and a group of people set off in a mighty way
The spy sent by Yu Xiao to investigate Murongli has returned
After several twists and turns, the spies found out that Mu Ronghua had been in power for six years and had secretly done a lot of shady things. Mu Ronghua had a killer called Yan, who was vicious and powerful in martial arts. , who is tall and tall, and looks like a ghost, and some people say that Yan is petite like a child, and looks handsome like a ghost, so he is also called Yan Mei. Except for Mu Ronghua, no one has ever known who this person is and Mu Ronghua's These nasty things were all done by Yan Mei.
Murong Mansion
Fang Ye paced back and forth in the front yard of the mansion, carefully questioned and inspected the dozen or so people in sackcloth standing in front of him, and after many rounds of selection, he selected eight of them and brought them to Murongli, "Master, these are all Among the 19 applicants, the hands and feet are more agile and flexible”
Murong Li leaned halfway on the soft bed, his deep eyes could only accommodate the plum blossom-like seal script, he hummed casually, Fang Ye quickly assigned the people and then dismissed them.After everyone dispersed, two of them still had no intention of retreating.
Fang Ye: "Anything else?"
I saw the two people kneeling down and said in unison, "My lord, I've finally found you." Those short words couldn't hide the joy and hardship in them.
Murong Li looked expressionlessly at the two dignified but extraordinary people who were kneeling in front of him, and said for a moment, "I don't know you two?"
One of them was middle-aged, his complexion was dark and his eyes were filled with joy, "This subordinate is Lu Qiyang, the former chief envoy of the Yaoguang County Palace. Do you still remember the old minister?" Lu Qiyang looked at Murongli's still calm eyes and pulled Bi Murong beside him How old is he? "This is my son, Lu Zhijie"
Murong Li suddenly got up and helped the two people kneeling on the ground, "Uncle Lu has worked hard, it's my nephew who is blind, please don't blame uncle, Fang Ye, get some tea."
Murong Li helped him onto the pear wood chair next to him, Lu Zhijie "After six years, Ali has grown into a man, how have you been all these years?"
Murong Li lowered his head and smiled indifferently, his eyes were a little watery, it was the first time in six years that someone asked him how he was doing, and then he raised his head and smiled "It's okay"
Lu Qiyang's somewhat rough hands lightly attached to Murongli's arm, looked at Murongli lovingly and said softly, "I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime, but I never thought that you would return to court a few days ago." The answer is astonishing to the world, and I found it here immediately, it is really the princess who has a spirit in the sky."
Lu Zhijie: "I remember that six years ago, Ali went to Fuyushan Temple with his wife. How is Ali?"
Murongli frowned, and a cold air came over him, but he still said calmly, "Back then, the Tiancheng Temple fire was extremely dangerous. I thought we would die here. It was General Qi who saved me and A Yu."
Lu Qiyang, "Who are those three corpses?"
Murong Li lowered his head slowly, unable to see his face clearly, only opened his mouth slightly after a while, "It's mother, and Axu, it was Axu who replaced me, but mother, never... came out" and lowered his head The broken voice couldn't hide the piercing sadness.
Lu Zhijie "That Ah Yu"
Murong Li, "Ayu is fine, Ayu didn't enter the palace that day"
Lu Qiyang "The other corpse is"
Murong Li, "During the panic, I didn't see who he was, I only knew that General Tong Qi and A Xu came together."
Lu Qiyang "Second Young Master is fine now"
Murong Li "Uncle Fang Xin, Ayu is fine now"
Lu Qiyang, "My son is now the master of Yaoguang County. I think Brother De and Mrs. Sister-in-law will also feel relieved when they are in heaven."
After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, the three of them went to sleep separately.
Before dawn, Fang Ye drove the carriage from the back door of the Murong Mansion and drove into the depths of the night
Mo Lan and Zhi Ming's group traveled forward for nearly a month before arriving at Xunsu. They rushed from Tianquan to Xunsu. Originally, they could reach Xunsu in no more than [-] days, but they walked all the way. There are too many rare things, so it took a month.
When they arrived at Xunsu, the prince of Xunsu, Yu Xiao, received Zhiming in person. Yuxun heard that Zhiming was pure-hearted, and he liked to fight dogs and chickens on weekdays, so he granted Zhiming permission to come and go in Xunsu Wangcheng at will, and appointed Yuxiao to take full power over this matter. Responsible.
In the Xuanzheng Hall of Susu, King Susu discussed political affairs with Taishi, Taiwei, and Tianquan Taifu.
On the bustling street, Zhi Ming is curious about all kinds of strange things like a child, looking here and touching there.
Three hundred miles away, Murongli and Fang Ye are sitting and resting in a tea shed by the roadside
Tianxuan Zhenxi County
Halfway up the hill shrouded in light mist, under a gazebo built with dead wood and grass, Murong Yu, who is dressed in plain clothes and looks as pure and elegant as a fairy, is playing chess pieces with his colleague Gongsun Qianxian (Murong Yu has followed Ji Ruoxue since childhood) Ronghua's Wife grew up in Tianxuan. Ji Ruoshi is the wife of Lu Ziran, Wenlin Lang of the West County of Tianxuan, the sister of Ji Ruxue. Lu Ziran is the son-in-law of the Ji family. After occupying Yaoguang, due to the disharmony between the two countries, it was convenient for Mu Ronghua to live in a divided land, and they could only get together during festivals. Murong Yu and Gongsun Qian were studying in the same private school) drinking a pot of weak tea, behind Zhou Liang and Gongsun Qian's attendants silently Serving his master.Both of them had pleasant expressions on their faces, talking and laughing happily.
The shallow crescent moon hangs in the mountains. In the simple and unadorned room, Murongli reads the book by candle as always, while Fang Ye starts to feel sleepy while sitting on the chair.Xu had been reading for too long, Murongli put down the book and tilted his head back, turned around, and saw Fang Ye's head nodding from time to time, although it was already a beautiful May, the cold dew in the mountain night was still heavy.Murongli got up and gently attached the cloak that Fang Ye had draped over his shoulders to Fang Ye.
The sound of light footsteps outside the window came and went, Murongli stepped forward softly to blow out the candle, just turned around, the Bai Yuyan branch in his hand was out of its sheath, Fang Ye also woke up suddenly at this time, eagerly looking at the candle in the night. Looking for that familiar face, seeing that his master was safe and sound, his heart felt a little more at ease.
The two looked at each other knowingly, back to back in an instant, the sound of footsteps approaching, Fang Ye's hand holding the sword was also tightened, and almost at the same time the door and window were rushed open by a group of masked assassins in black. In the night, the sounds of fighting filled the loneliness of the mountain village. Murongli's clothes were stained with the assassin's blood, but the mottled blood stains were not at all obtrusive. Paired with a long light red skirt and a slender but not weak figure, Murongli was in Qingcheng. Against the backdrop of her beautiful face, she showed a special charm.Murongli turned around and approached the assassin, who had already fallen down, "Fang Ye, leave the rest to me, you go and protect the head of the household couple."
Fang Ye touched the assassin's neck and stabbed, "Master, you!"
Murong Li "It's okay, let's go"
With a leap, Fang Ye disappeared in front of the window. Soon, Murongli eliminated all the assassins in the room. There were several assassin corpses lying scattered in the farmyard, and there were iron objects interacting with each other outside the earthen wall covered with moss and weeds. The sound of collision.
Fang Ye, "Master, the old man and his wife are fine, but the old lady was frightened and passed out."
Murongli wiped Yanzhi's blood, "Give them some money to see a doctor. After all, this matter is caused by me. Write a letter to the county magistrate about my assassination as soon as possible, so that the government will not trouble the old man in the future, and help me buy some money." something." Fang Ye nodded in salute and disappeared into the vast night
Murong Li "come out"
A black figure entered over the wall, knelt down and saluted Murongli, "My lord"
Murong Li, "If you don't stay here and stay well, what are you doing here?"
Geng Yin lowered his head, "This subordinate knows his mistake. This subordinate is worried about the safety of the Lord. This subordinate has found out that the two assassins on the road to and from Xunsu this time were all committed by the old Mu Ronghua party headed by Mr. Zhao."
Murong Li: "Well, you go back to your residence first."
The black figure disappeared on the wall again, as if it had never been there before.Murongli's steps were a little unsteady, he stepped into the room in twos and twos, and closed the doors and windows tightly without leaving a single gap.It's just that the extremely subtle whispers can be faintly heard intermittently outside the window, which seems a bit out of place compared to the quietness of the mountains...
Entering official career for the first time 4
Tianshu Longgui County
Ling Sikong's investigation into the embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief went very smoothly. Ling Sikong knew that there was something strange about it, but now Tianshu Wang Mengchang was suffering from a cough. What's more, the case progressed so smoothly.
The singing and dancing in the main hall of the Xunsu Palace is peaceful, and the Xunsu King is holding a celebration to welcome the envoys. Besides the delicious food, Zhiming is already drinking a little too much. The Tai Tuo sent Mo Lan to take him to prevent Zhiming from losing his manners after drinking. Go to bed tomorrow.
After leaving the main hall, Zhi Ming swayed from side to side without any rules, which made Mo Lan miserable. The breeze blew, mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, and Mo Lan was also a little drunk by the refreshing breeze. The road is not big, and the drunkenness comes and goes quickly.
The two walked towards the depths of the flower fragrance in this way. There was a row of not-so-high tree vines growing in the open space outside the promenade, and the intertwined branches covered the promenade, surrounded by clusters of small white flowers. It was blooming cheerfully and freely, Zhi Ming folded one and stared at the flower for a long time, "Beauty, the world is the proof, this flower is the beauty, are you willing to marry me as a wife?" Mo Lan was so frightened by this sudden confession that she lost her drunkenness , the maids passing by all secretly concealed their laughter, and the embarrassing sense of shame instantly flushed Mo Lan's ears, and Mo Lan hurriedly pulled Zhi Ming away.
When Fang Ye came back, what he saw was Murongli lying on the ground, with the quilt rolled under his body, it seemed that he had rolled off the bed.
Fang Ye carried Murongli to the bed, covered the quilt, and gently wiped the dust on Murongli's face with a towel soaked in warm water. When he wiped his hands, he realized that although Murongli was in a deep sleep, his hands were still intact. Holding it, dark red impurities could be vaguely seen in the nails, Fang Ye took a little effort to move Murongli's hand away, and gently rubbed the tense muscles.
The slight scratches on the edge of the bed caught Fang Ye's eyes. It has been more than a month since Fang Ye and Murong Li. The principle that the personal servants and their masters sleep in separate rooms has been the master's inner room since ancient times, and the servants are in the outer room or on the floor, so that they can serve the master at any time, but Fang Ye has his own bedroom.
Although Fang Ye did not sleep in the same room as Murongli, the bedroom must be next door to Murongli's. Besides, Fang Ye had heard small voices coming from Murongli's room several times at night.
When Murongli woke up and found himself lying on the bed, Fang Ye looked at him with complicated eyes, Murongli knew it, and couldn't hide it anymore and said lightly, "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
A flash of surprise flashed in Fang Ye's eyes, and then he regained his composure. That's right, his master is extremely intelligent, so how could he not know what he was thinking about in his heart, "Master, body"
Before Fang Ye could finish speaking, Murongli said calmly, "It's just a poisonous hair."
Fang Ye asked eagerly, "What kind of poison is it?"
Murongli's expression darkened a lot, and it took a moment for him to softly reply "rotten bone and rotten heart"
Fang Ye's body that was originally sitting on the edge of the bed couldn't help standing up straight when he heard these four words, his eyes flickered for a moment, Fang Ye was born as a dark guard, and he knew clearly in his heart how powerful the poison was, "It can't be..."
Murongli looked into Fang Ye's eyes, "It's Heaven's right to control drugs."
Fang Ye lowered his head and didn't look at Murongli, and then said, "Master is tired, let's rest early, and the subordinates go down to prepare breakfast." After saluting, Fang Ye quickly exited the door, leaving Murongli alone to look out the window and said, "It seems , today is a good day"
Fang Ye was cooking porridge in his hand, but he was thinking about Tianquan Anti-drug One in his heart.
There is no antidote for this poison. Once poisoned, the poisoned person will suffer from heart-wrenching pain for the rest of his life.The so-called antidote is just that it can suppress the poisonous hair after taking it, and it has no detoxification effect.
It was originally used to control the dark guards and dead soldiers. The monarch drug Xuanminglian used grows in the Xuefeng Mountain deep in the Tianquan Yuzhao Mountain Range. Xuefeng Mountain is covered with snow all year round, so Xuanminglian grows in the snow Among them, it breaks through the snow in June every year, and the growth period is only a short month. It blooms every June [-]th, and the flowering period is only one day. name.
In order to make eclipses, it needs to be picked on the [-]th of June when the sky is clear and the moon is shining enough.
Therefore, the nature of this body is from yin to cold, and the kung fu of martial arts practitioners is mostly yang, so the deeper the kung fu is, the more severe the pain will be when the poison occurs. Although the poison is cruel, it does not hurt people's lives.However, the Sky Feather Kungfu practiced by Murong Li is a kung fu of the most yang and the most rigid.
Fang Ye recalled the first time he met his master: Fang Ye was kneeling on the busy street at that time. Fang Ye remembered it very clearly. A helpless child, who couldn't even pay for the medicine, sold everything he could, so he had to sell himself to bury his father. At that time, he was so desperate and helpless that he didn't feel that he was still alive.
God is very good, and it seems to be spending the Zhongyuan Festival with the world.Mu Ronghua's younger brother, Mu Ronggui, was the biggest brothel owner in Yaoguang City at that time. So he whipped me with his famous scales, but the master blocked it for me. The long scar on the spine on the back of the master was thanks to him. In the end, the master buried my father for me and took me back to the manor to take me in. I became the master's personal servant.
A few days later, Mu Ronggui was beheaded by the old princess for abducting and selling women and children, forcing her into prostitution, and disturbing the public order.The master treats me very well and never treats me like a slave like others.It was also from that moment that I swore to myself that I would repay my master's kindness even if I was completely heartbroken in this life.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. On the first day of October, my wife took the two of them to offer incense and fulfill their vows.It was also that day that the old Princess made a deal with Namu Ronghua to save us and other servants of the family, and pleaded guilty to colluding with the enemy and treason.
From then on, the so-called "virtuous master's rebellion" was put down by Mu Ronghua, and Mu Ronghua took the position of princess as a matter of course. The old princess ordered Lord Gengwu to send us out of the city and come in alone.
Since then, I have never seen Lord Geng Wu again, and I have also separated from my master. After separation, I entered the shadow camp as a secret guard. I practiced hard for six years, but I never thought that it would be easy for my master to meet when I was born. .Thinking about it, Fang Ye smiled unconsciously. Perhaps even Fang Ye himself hadn't realized how precious this renewed master-servant relationship is.
After tossing around in the middle of the night, Murongli had fallen asleep naively, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When meeting Fang Ye for the first time, it was probably Murongli's sympathy. People have different looks, that kind of eyes are the eyes that a servant should not have in this era, because what can't be hidden in the eyes is the consonant feeling like a close friend, and it is not contaminated with the noble and humble atmosphere of this unfair society.
But the things in this world are as precious as they are hard-won.It is also this persistent bond that will form the life-and-death relationship between the two in the future, and it is also one of the reasons why Murong Li dares to devote everything to fighting.
Tianshu Longgui County
Ling Sikong was rushing to the Tianshu Royal City carriage with the drafted complaint and memorial, as well as the evidence that the three great families embezzled the disaster relief money and food. Has it been delivered to the king?"
The guard who was driving fast stared straight ahead, "The subordinate has already done everything, the master can rest assured."
In Tianshu Palace, the three major families forcibly entered the palace.King Tianshu was lying on the bed dying, Su Han stepped forward unwillingly, half-bent down, made a perfunctory bow, and then said, "Your Majesty, the spies came to report that Ling Sikong embezzled the relief money. This is the request of Princess Longgui." The report, and the details of Ling Sikong's embezzlement and bribery, Ling Sikong has arrived in the royal city in a few days, please let the king decide."
Cui Lin immediately echoed, "I hope the king will punish such treacherous and evil people severely."
King Tianshu supported his body to start, his face without a trace of blood turned paler from anger, as if he was dead.
Looking at the report and the so-called ledger in front of him, a mouthful of blood spewed out, instantly turning the whole palace into a mess.
Zhi Ming kicked over the covered quilt, and Mo Lan also lay casually on the other side of the slump. What the Taifu saw after the banquet was so disrespectful, he was instantly annoyed but helplessly picked up the quilt It covered the two people who were lying in a mess.
Taifu "come"
Little Fatty ran in, his round and chubby cheeks were so cute, no wonder Zhi Ming named him Xiaopang, "What are your orders, Master Taifu?"
Taifu "give the order down, pack up and leave tomorrow"
Murongli and Fang Ye are still resting at the farmer's house. Fang Ye, "Master, there is news from Geng Yin that the Heavenly Power Mission must pass through Yaoguang on their way back home, should we prepare..."
Murongli sat up slowly and looked at the cloudless blue sky, "Since you have already come, why bother to go back in such a hurry, it will take ten days to get to Yaoguang from here, isn't there still that persistence, not to mention, the people here The Yuqiong flower will be in full bloom in two days, it's rare for me to feel so at ease, and it's not too late to leave after admiring the flowers." Fang Ye was also delighted, because this was the first time Fang Ye had seen such a lazy master.
Murongli stretched out his hand to block the glare of the sun and thought: This sun is warm no matter where it is, and the people who shine on it will warm their hearts...
At Tianshu King's Mausoleum, Su Han, Cui Lin and others summoned the court ministers to wait for Ling Sikong to throw himself into the trap, but Tianshu King finally failed to wait for Ling Sikong.Many courtiers in white clothes and filial piety, there are
