Regent sucks cats daily

After Xiao Jumao became emperor, he spent several years secretly digging a tunnel to connect the bottom of the dragon bed with Baolan Palace.

After the shadow pretended to be the emperor, his body was placed in the Baolan Palace, and his cronies massaged him frequently to prevent muscle atrophy.

The feeling of suffocation enveloped by the stream still remained in his mind, Xiao Jumao sat on the dragon bed and loosened his muscles and bones.After sleeping for nearly a month, my body is still a little soft, and I am a little weak to walk on the ground.

"Zhao Quan." Just after waking up, his voice was hoarse, Xiao Jumao coughed lightly, and called out of the hall.

Zhao Quan hurriedly entered the hall, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Bring me some warm tea."

Zhao Quan poured the tea and handed it over with a bow.

The emperor Shen Shi suddenly said that he wanted to rest and dismissed the palace servants, and now he woke up and only slept for half an hour, why did his complexion get worse?

Xiao Jumao drank a cup of tea slowly, feeling that his chapped mouth and throat were moistened a lot, and his quiet eyes regained their spirit.

Zhao Quan took back the teacup, put it on the table, turned around and asked, "Your Majesty is about to get up?"

Just as Xiao Jumao wanted to talk about taking a bath, he remembered the scene of being submerged and suffocated. He collected himself and asked, "What happened in the Prince Regent's Palace today?"

Zhao Quan respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, when you were resting, the regent sent someone to the palace to ask for leave, saying that he would not be able to go to court tomorrow."

"What else?" What Xiao Jumao wanted to know most was, what happened to Yuan Bao?

Zhao Quan didn't understand, so, "What else does your Majesty want to know? The old slave sent someone to inquire."

Xiao Jumao's heart was complicated and he was at a loss for a while.If Yuanbao is not good, will Tan Shiguan be sad?He suddenly asked for leave, is it because of Yuan Bao?

The more Xiao Jumao thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, but his body lost strength, and he couldn't recover for a while.

"You order the imperial dining room to prepare some clear porridge." Maybe after drinking the porridge, you will regain some vitality.

Zhao Quan went down to order the palace servants and returned to the palace.

"Wait for me to take a bath."

Zhao Quan was puzzled, it was still afternoon, why did he want to take a bath?

After all, Xiao Jumao is not a cowardly person, he will not be afraid of water just because he was submerged once, he was just in shock.

After bathing, he changed into normal clothes, and it happened that the imperial dining room brought porridge and side dishes, which looked very delicious, but Xiao Jumao ate it alone, but the taste was gone.

"What time is it?" Xiao Jumao got some strength after eating the porridge, got up and asked Zhao Quan.

"Go back to the emperor, it's almost time."

Xiao Jumao thought for a while, seeing the sun was getting lower, Fang said: "I suddenly remembered an important matter, I want to discuss with the regent, and the regent will ask for leave tomorrow, so I have no choice but to go to the regent's mansion, Zhao Quan, to prepare the car .”

Zhao Quan was surprised, "If your majesty has something to discuss with the regent, why not go and summon him?" Why do you need to go there in person?

Xiao Jumao's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are told to go, go."

Zhao Quan's heart trembled, so he had to step back and prepare.

Xiao Jumao pinched his legs that were still a little sore, thinking about Yuan Bao in his heart, but he was a little apprehensive.

Not long after, Zhao Quan came back and reported that the chariot was ready, and asked when he would leave the palace?

The Prince Regent's Mansion is not too far away from the Imperial Palace, Xiao Jumao stretched his limp legs and said, "Leave the palace immediately."

Zhao Quan helped him into the car, and sat in the front by himself, urging the palace servants to drive to the Prince Regent's Palace.

When we reached the gate of the Wangfu, it was already sunset, and the guard of the Wangfu was about to close the gate, when he saw Yujia stopped in front of the gate.

Zhao Quan helped Xiao Jumao get out of the car, the guards in front of the palace gate knelt down and bowed down, before shouting long live the emperor, Xiao Jumao stopped him.

"I don't want to make too much noise, let's all be flat."

After the guard thanked the emperor for his kindness, someone rushed to report to Tan Shiguan.

As soon as Xiao Jumao stepped into the palace, he saw Tan Shiguan leading the housekeeper Liu Fu coming over, they were about to salute, Xiao Jumao said: "Excuse me."

Tan Shiguan stood still with his head bowed, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes.Xiao Jumao stared at him slowly for a long time, Fang said: "I heard that Tan Aiqing will ask for leave tomorrow, but she is not feeling well?"

Tan Shiguan bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, please take your seat inside." He could see Xiao Jumao's legs trembling slightly, which must be due to muscle soreness, he felt sorry for him, so he said.

Xiao Jumao said to Zhao Quan: "I have important matters to discuss with Tan Aiqing, you all step down first."

Zhao Quan and Liu Fu had no choice but to bow and leave.

As the emperor, this is the first time for Xiao Jumao to come to the Regent's Mansion, but as Yuanbao, he has walked through every road here. He is very familiar with the road leading to the main hall, which is right in front of him. Originally, the discussion should be in the main hall, but he turned in one direction.

As the night gradually fell, Xiao Jumao looked at the familiar courtyard, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, if he was Yuanbao, he would have jumped into Tan Shiguan's arms, and let him carry him to the bedroom to serve and rest.

But he is the emperor, he can't be so soft at all, just like Tan Shiguan facing Yuanbao and facing the emperor, it is impossible at all.

Both of them knew many things.

As the evening wind blew past, Xiao Jumao's legs softened and he stopped, with a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, "How is Yuanbao?"

Tan Shiguan lowered his eyebrows, his expression was as indifferent as usual, "I don't have any worries about my life, it's just that I'm lethargic."

Xiao Jumao's heart skipped a beat, how similar is this to his situation?Why?

"I'm going to take a look at it." He was a little anxious, but he couldn't move his legs, so he jumped forward accidentally.

Tan Shiguan hastily stretched out his hand to support him, his strong arm firmly caught Xiao Jumao, and one hand was still on his slender waist.

The familiar cold fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, Xiao Jumao leaned on his broad and gentle chest, lowered his curly eyelashes, tightened his hand holding Tan Shiguan's clothes slightly, then let go, and said calmly: "Thank you Tan Aiqing .”

Tan Shiguan's breathing is stagnant, and there is an insurmountable gap between the monarch and his ministers.

After Xiao Jumao stood firm, he quickly and decisively withdrew his hand, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jumao was puzzled: "Yuanbao... isn't in your room?"

Tan Shiguan looked up at him, "It's at Zhou Shuo's."

Xiao Jumao's heart moved slightly, when he met Shang Tan Shiguan's eyes, there was respect and concern in his eyes, but he lacked tenderness.

He is a widow, just like what the concubine mother said, the person who sits on the dragon chair, the last thing he can have is true love, not to mention, where can he find true love?

Xiao Jumao concentrated all his thoughts, changed his way, and walked towards Zhou Shuo.

"Why don't you go to court tomorrow?" Before Tan Shiguan could answer, he asked, "Because of Yuanbao?"

"Yuan Bao was unconscious, and I thought something was wrong, so I wanted to go to Bailong Temple to find out." He was worried that the so-called catastrophe would never pass.

Xiao Jumao paused suddenly, a few strands of affection appeared in his handsome eyebrows, his big and slightly round eyes looked straight at Tan Shiguan's handsome face, he really wanted to ask: Are you worried about Zhen or Yuanbao?

Tan Shiguan looked at him with a calm expression on his face, but the hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched.

The majesty in front of him is naturally noble and handsome.

It wasn't that he had thought that he shouldn't have had it from the very beginning, but after the man in front of him became the emperor, he watched this man study hard, and saw that this man had to put away his minions and turn into a lamb under the dominance of the queen mother. Watching this man confront him tit for tat like a little tiger with teeth and claws, watching him slowly grow to what he is now.

A heart gradually loses its direction, like a rootless duckweed, wobbly, he dare not land, because once it lands, whatever the outline of the ruler and ministers, it will all be ruined by himself.

Therefore, he has always abided by the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and did not dare to overstep in the slightest, until the disaster that was forgotten in memory came.

In less than a month, it will probably be the most unforgettable time for him.In the future, he will still guard this country for His Majesty. Although he is not the closest person, he can be the person he relies on the most. He will do his best to accomplish what His Majesty wants to do.

"Tan Aiqing, I will still go to you tomorrow morning. As for Bailong Temple, I will go with you. In the name of praying for the country, I will accompany you with officials above the second rank." After Xiao Jumao finished speaking slowly, he went to Zhou Shuo's courtyard. go.

"As ordered."

When Xiao Jumao went to Zhou Shuo's courtyard, he saw him playing with snowballs in the courtyard.

Xueqiu was well taken care of by Zhou Shuo. She seemed to have grown up a bit. Her snow-white hair was fluffy and beautiful, and her blue eyes were as glittering and translucent as jewels.

Little Xueqiu heard the movement, turned around with a limp leg, and saw Xiao Jumao at a glance.

Zhou Shuo raised his eyes and thought it was Tan Shiguan, but when he saw the dignified and majestic young emperor, he immediately stood up and saluted.

"Doctor Zhou, you don't need to be too polite." Xiao Jumao watched Xiao Xueqiu slowly walking towards him, then took a few steps forward, picked it up with his hand, and put it in his palm.

Xueqiu didn't seem to admit it at all, stuck out his little tongue and licked Xiao Jumao's hand, and let out a soft cry.

Xiao Jumao stroked its fur, held him in the palm of his hand, and asked Zhou Shuo, "Where is Yuanbao?"

Zhou Shuo seemed a little cautious, "Your Majesty, Yuanbao is inside the house."

At this time, a child suddenly came out of the room with a sad face mixed with anger.

It was Xiao Fan.

When Xiao Fan saw Xiao Jumao, a stranger, his face was startled, and he stood there looking awkward and at a loss.

Tan Shiguan said: "This is the emperor, come and pay my respects."

Xiao Fan bowed on his knees, Xiao Jumao stretched out his hand to support him, showing a slight smile, "You are the only heir of the eldest brother, you can call me Huangshu in the future."

With such a sentence, Xiao Fan's identity is different.Although the former prince was relegated to a common man by the first emperor, even with Xiao Fan, he is not considered a decent grandson, but today's son is Xiao Jumao, as long as Xiao Jumao says a word, Xiao Fan's status is naturally different from before.

Xiao Fan had no other relatives except his adoptive mother when he was young, but now he has another relative, and this emperor uncle looks very good-looking and feels very kind, unlike the regent, who has a straight face every day, which is quite unreasonable.

He grinned happily and called loudly: "Uncle Huang!"

Xiao Jumao nodded and entered the house.

The candlelight in the room was weak, the beautiful orange cat was lying quietly on the couch, eyes closed tightly, if not for the slight ups and downs of the chest, Xiao Jumao would have thought that Yuan Bao was gone.

He put Xueqiu next to Yuanbao, Xueqiu recognized Yuanbao, whispered, and licked Yuanbao's tarnished hair.

Xiao Jumao's fingertips landed on Yuan Bao's round head, along the back until reaching the wounded tail, and stopped.

"Doctor Zhou, what happened to Yuan Bao?"

Zhou Shuo was very surprised that the emperor cared so much about Yuanbao, but he still replied seriously: "Yuanbao's life is saved, but the grass people don't know the reason why he fell into a coma."

Xiao Jumao withdrew her slender and fair hand, and sighed softly in her heart: Tomorrow, I will bring Yuan Bao together to Bailong Temple to find Nianen.

Having seen the Yuan Bao with his own eyes and knowing that it is not in danger of life, Xiao Jumao felt a bit more at ease, so he turned around and said: "Tan Aiqing will bring the Yuan Bao with her tomorrow, it is getting late, I will go back to the palace first."

Tan Shiguan saluted, "I will send you off to Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Zhou Shuo sent it to the gate of the courtyard meaningfully, and seeing Xiao Fan continue to follow, he grabbed him, "Don't send it off."

Xiao Fan didn't understand, "Since the prince wants to send the emperor's uncle out of the house, why don't we use it?"

Zhou Shuo glared at him. If a child wants to listen to an adult, he should just stay here and not move.

Xiao Fan lowered his head depressedly, he hadn't said a few words to the emperor yet.

It was already dark, lanterns were hung in the courtyard of the palace, all the servants avoided, Xiao Jumao was walking all the way, unexpectedly only he and Tan Shiguan were there.

Seeing that the gate of the mansion was getting closer, Xiao Jumao's footsteps became slower and slower.He used to think that Baolan Palace was the safest and warmest, but now, he was unwilling to leave here, because once he returned to the palace, there was only a cold and lonely palace waiting for him.

The car stopped outside the mansion, Zhao Quan and Liu Fu stood beside the car and waited quietly.

Zhao Quan helped Xiao Jumao get into the car, Xiao Jumao just sat down, Tan Shiguan's deep and familiar voice came from outside the curtain, "Your Majesty, I request you to be escorted back to the palace."

Tan Shiguan waited outside for a long while in silence, his heart sank uncontrollably, and then he heard His Majesty's clear voice.

"Tan Aiqing, take your ingots and return to the palace with me."

The Palace of Wende is given to you to live in, why do you still live in the palace?

Xiao Jumao thought for a while, and added: "Just ride with me."

You don't have to take the carriage by yourself.

It is a supreme honor to ride with the emperor, Liu Fu was happy for the prince, and said quickly: "My lord, this old slave will carry the ingot for you."

Tan Shiguan came back to his senses, before he could stop him, his figure disappeared into the gate of the mansion, he didn't know whether to get in the car first, or wait for Yuan Bao to arrive before getting in the car.

Zhao Quan's sharp voice fell on his ears, "Regent, get in the car first."

Tan Shiguan had no choice but to step on the carriage and lift the curtain to enter.

The cart itself was specially prepared for the emperor, although the space inside was spacious enough, it was only for one person.Xiao Jumao was tall and slender, tall enough to sit alone, but Tan Shiguan was taller and muscular than him, and once he came in, he always felt that the inside of the car was much cramped.

Tan Shiguan sat on the side with his head bowed, trying not to crowd Xiao Jumao as much as possible.

There was silence in the car until Liu Fu brought in the sleeping Yuan Bao.

Tan Shiguan took the ingot, put it on his lap, and habitually ran his right hand along his hair, showing gentleness on his face.

Xiao Jumao glanced at it from the corner of his eye, but he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Che Huan walked all the way to the gate of Jingquan Palace, Zhao Quangong said: "Your Majesty, Jingquan Palace has arrived."

Xiao Jumao was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Go to Wende Palace." After he finished speaking, his cheeks became slightly hot, and he hurriedly remedied: "I still have some political matters to discuss with Tan Aiqing."

Zhao Quan then ordered the palace servants to drive to Wende Hall.

There was still a pile of memorials on the desk in Wende Hall, Xiao Jumao entered the back of the hall, sat directly in front of the desk, watched Tan Shiguan put the ingot on the bed, and said: "Tan Aiqing, I have something to ask you, sit down .”

Tan Shiguan sat under him, as before, watching his nose, nose and heart, calmly said: "Yes."

Xiao Jumao opened a memorial, and it was impeached by a family of officials who connived and oppressed the people and occupied the farmland.

"What do you think?"

Tan Shiguan took the memorial, flipped through it briefly, and said: "I think this matter is yet to be investigated, and when it is confirmed that such acts have been done, they should be sentenced according to the law."

The power of the Gongqing family in the capital is deeply entrenched and intertwined, and they have in-laws with each other. Although each family cannot threaten the imperial power, multiple forces are intertwined, so the emperor can't be taken seriously.

After Xiao Jumao sat on the dragon chair, he gradually realized the horror of these aristocratic families.

If they had kept their own law and order, Xiao Jumao would not have tolerated them, but after several years of investigation, these dignitaries and aristocrats were full of filth and filth under their noble appearance.

This kind of memorial is not the first time, but he didn't pay attention to these things before he devoted himself to dealing with the Lin family.The fact that the noble children in the training camp violated the imperial decree and had no rules and regulations has already made Xiao Jumao feel dark, and coupled with the pain of being drowned maliciously by those people, he felt that if they don’t cut off a piece of their flesh, they will not be able to survive. I know what pain feels like.

"Hmph, Yilu? In their eyes, how can there be any law at all?" Xiao Jumao's anger has not disappeared since he woke up, but he didn't show it because he was worried about Yuanbao.

Don't let them shed a layer of skin this time, really treat him as a paper tiger as the emperor.

Xiao Jumao reviewed the memorials until late at night, and Tan Shiguan accompanied him all the time. The incense burner in the hall was burned out, and the candles were dimly lit. Although it was quiet, it was not so deserted.

After reading a lot of memorials, Xiao Jumao could hardly keep his eyes open, and his mind was a little confused. He glanced at Tan Shiguan who was still sitting upright, and habitually got up and walked to the bed. I got up too quickly, my legs were so numb, I accidentally fell to the ground.

Tan Shi had quick eyesight and quick hands, got up to catch it, and fell into his embrace with his fragrant body, which made people reluctant to let go.

Xiao Jumao was confused, only smelled the familiar cold fragrance, put his hands on the man's chest, rested his head on his shoulders, relaxed his whole body, leaned against Tan Shiguan, and just fell asleep like this.

Tan Shiguan smiled helplessly, thinking he was a cat, and he didn't even change his posture.

He supported Xiao Jumao's waist with his left hand, stretched his right hand to the bend of Xiao Jumao's leg, picked him up horizontally, walked to the bedside, and put him beside Yuan Bao.Just about to let go of his arms and get up, Xiao Jumao reached out to hug him, changed his position in his arms, and fell asleep soundly.

Tan Shiguan is really reluctant.

He half-kneeled on the bed with one leg, maintained this position, looked at Xiao Jumao's sleeping face for a long time, and then slowly lay down, with an ingot between him and Xiao Jumao.

He reached out and took off Xiao Jumao's hair crown to make him sleep more comfortably. The silky black hair was spread out, some of which were still intertwined with his own. Tan Shiguan's indifferent and serious face slowly showed a trace of Gentle, handsome eyebrows and eyes dyed with a layer of warmth.

Early the next morning, when Xiao Jumao woke up, he found Yuan Bao lying in his arms, he put it down carefully, and called Zhao Quan.

Zhao Quan brought in the palace servants who were waiting for the grooming, "Your Majesty, you were tired from reviewing the memorials last night, so you rested in the Wende Hall. The slaves did not dare to disturb you."

Xiao Jumao nodded, stood up and stretched out his arms to let the palace servants dress him, "Where is the regent?"

"The Prince Regent is already waiting."

Xiao Jumao came to Qiankun Hall after washing up.All the ministers have been lined up neatly, waiting quietly.

Seeing Xiao Jumao sitting on the dragon chair, they all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

Xiao Jumao Qingling looked at the black gauze hat underneath with both eyes, his face was calm, and his voice was full of calm, "Everyone loves you."

The courtiers cheered up and held their wats with their heads down.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Jumao rested his right hand on the armrest, and tapped his index finger rhythmically. He spoke at a steady pace, restraining the immaturity and sharpness of youth, adding a bit of depth steady.

Or maybe, immaturity and sharpness are just an appearance.

The ministers thought to themselves, before they had time to play, they saw the person at the front of the queue standing up, it turned out to be Tan Shiguan.

Just listen to Tan Shiguan said: "The emperor is wise and wise, which is really the blessing of Xiao Guo. I have been in charge for several years, and I have nothing to teach. The emperor has been able to shoulder the responsibility of Xiao Guo alone. Today, I resigned from the post of regent. Hope His Majesty grants it."

What?All the ministers were stunned in place, and even forgot what they wanted to say.

The hall was terribly quiet, only the sound of everyone's heavy breathing was heard, Xiao Jumao was expressionless, looking at Tan Shiguan, frowning slightly.

Thinking of the disdain those people had for Tan Shiguan before being flooded, they said that the regent was about to lose power, but he was just a rough man who knew how to fight.

He knows why.

In the eyes of the courtiers, the regent might hold real power and dare not provoke him easily, but in the eyes of those noble families, especially after the fall of the Lin family and their sole power, they took it for granted that Tan Shiguan would follow in the footsteps of the Lin family.

It's ridiculous.

The clear and firm words fell into the ears of every courtier, like a bolt from the blue.

"Tan Aiqing has assisted me for several years, and has been seeking the well-being of the people of the Xiao Kingdom. It is indeed a great achievement, and for more than ten years, the military exploits have been great, and the people on the border have been protected from the suffering of invasion. I think that the title of the world's military general It's not enough to match Aiqing's contribution, Zhao Quan."

Zhao Quan heard the words and immediately opened the imperial edict in his hand.

As soon as the imperial decree was announced, the entire court was in an uproar. They thought that Tan Shiguan would collapse like the Lin family, but unexpectedly, the emperor granted Tan Shiguan the Duke of Ding!That is the position of a duke!

Tan Shiguan obviously didn't expect it either, and was really stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he accepted the order to thank him.He originally wanted to help His Majesty to rectify the imperial court, and then go to guard the frontier, but the emperor's reward this time was too unexpected and too generous.

"If you have nothing else to do, I have one more thing to share with you dear ones." Xiao Jumao motioned to Zhao Quan again.

Zhao Quan unveiled another imperial decree and began to read it.

In the imperial decree, several heirs of the prince's family were named, saying that they acted arrogantly, disobeyed government orders, had no military discipline, were not allowed to be officials for life, and their descendants were not allowed to participate in scientific examinations.

These people were the murderers who wanted to kill Yuan Bao yesterday, relying on the background of the Gongqing family, they were unscrupulous, really thought his decree was just for fun?

After the imperial decree was read out, several ministers knelt down to beg for mercy, Xiao Jumao wrote lightly: "Pleaders, I'm guilty of the same crime."

Hearing the emperor's indifferent voice, the minister suddenly stopped thinking, if he really begged for mercy and lost the black hat, then what a fart he was begging.

On the surface, the emperor's action seemed to be punishing the dandies, but some people felt that something was wrong in their hearts. Perhaps the emperor's knife was right not only for a few dandies, right?

"In addition, the south of the Yangtze River suffers from floods every year, and people's hearts are unstable. Today, I am going to Bailong Temple to pray for blessings. Officials of the second rank and above will accompany me to seek blessings from heaven for the people of Xiao Kingdom."

"My Emperor Shengming!"

Xiao Jumao took one last look at Tan Shi, stood up and turned down.

How dare you resign from the post of regent without telling me, do you really think that I dare not rule you?
