Xiao Juhao moved his eyelashes when he heard the voice of the person beside the bed: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

He opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Quan's wrinkled face, sat up, cleared his mind, and said, "Where is Duke Ding?"

Zhao Quanxin said: "It's different for the emperor to wait for the Duke of Ding. As soon as he woke up, he asked about the whereabouts of Duke Ding."

"Ding Guogong is practicing martial arts in the courtyard."

People who practice martial arts do have the habit of doing morning exercises, Xiao Jumao nodded, "I want to get up."

After Zhao Quan served him to wash and wash, the white fish belly in the sky was dyed with a layer of red glow. When Xiao Jumao went out of the house, he saw the handsome figure of the man under the locust tree in the courtyard.

When Tan Shiguan heard the commotion, he immediately stopped and looked back at Xiao Jumao, "Is this minister disturbing His Majesty?"

Xiao Jumao shook his head, looking at Tan Shiguan's refreshed appearance because of the exercise, he felt a little itchy in his heart.He hasn't done morning exercise for a while, and his body is slack, so it won't work like this.

Seeing the sword leaning on the trunk under the locust tree, he walked over and picked it up in his hand, looked at Tan Shiguan, "Ding Guogong, I will lend you the sword."

He had practiced swordsmanship, and it was not bad, the sword in his hand was obviously forged by a master, the cold light suddenly appeared, and it was extremely sharp, Xiao Jumao remembered the sword technique taught to him by his concubine, so he waved it in the courtyard.

The black patterned gold uniform crossed a beautiful arc in the air, with a strong sword intent and high spirits. When I looked at it, I felt that it was softer and more domineering than before. Sure enough, the tiger with its sharp claws finally became the king.

He asked Zhao Quan to make tea and put it on the stone table.

Xiao Jumao practiced for a while, stopped to rest, Zhao Quan wanted to bring tea, but Duke Ding was faster than him, and had already handed the tea to His Majesty.With a smile on his face, Xiao Jumao took it and moistened his tongue, and said, "What happened last night?"

Zhao Quan thought, except for Dai Rong's matter, there is no other movement.

Tan Shi nodded his head, "Sure enough, a few people were caught in the second half of the night."

Xiao Jumao felt annoyed, but also felt that this was expected, if he didn't suspect them, he wouldn't have secretly monitored their movements.

"They all tipped off to the Cai Mansion?"

"Yes."

The tip of the sword slashed fiercely on the ground, "Who gave them the courage!"

Seeing his angry face, Zhao Quan quickly said: "Your Majesty calm down, be careful of the dragon's body."

Xiao Jumao didn't feel too angry, just a little disappointed, he put the teacup into Tan Shiguan's hand, and continued to dance the sword, but the sword was more murderous.

When Chen Feng came to pay his respects, he saw the young emperor practicing his sword in the yard, holding the sword that Duke Ding never let anyone touch.

The emperor's biological mother was born in a general family with extraordinary martial arts skills. It is not uncommon for the emperor to know some swordsmanship. Moreover, he saw that his majesty practiced well, with agile posture and elegant swordsmanship. A move seems to be able to be painted.

Under the pagoda tree in the courtyard, Dingguo Gong held a cup of tea and stared quietly.

In fact, he has been unable to figure out these days, why does His Majesty, who was suspicious of Tan Shiguan before, suddenly favor Tan Shiguan?If the previous tit-for-tat confrontation was intentional, then His Majesty has hidden it too deeply, right?

It's really scary, he should kill the enemy seriously.

Xiao Jumao stood with his sword in his hand, then relaxed, and put the sword on the stone table in the courtyard.Tan Shiguan handed him the teacup in his hand, Xiao Jumao took it, took a sip, it happened to be lukewarm.

Chen Feng, who was standing on the side: "..." Why did he have the illusion that he couldn't get in at all?

Xiao Jumao drank a few sips, then looked at Chen Feng, Chen Feng immediately knelt down on one knee to pay his respects, Xiao Jumao signaled him to get up, "Is Chen Aiqing busy early in the morning?"

"Your Majesty, when will you leave for the palace?"

Just as Xiao Jumao was about to speak, several ministers came in from outside the courtyard and saluted Xiao Jumao neatly.

Xiao Jumao didn't let them get up, but just glanced at them lightly, "Did you all sleep soundly last night?"

Two of the ministers suddenly sweated on their foreheads. It seemed that His Majesty had something to say. Could it be that the matter of sending someone to inform Cai Guogong's mansion was discovered?

"Your Majesty, the temple is quiet and peaceful, and the ministers and others will naturally sleep soundly."

"Really?" Xiao Jumao asked with a smile.

The hearts of the two trembled slightly. His Majesty's thoughts were so deep this early in the morning, and they really couldn't bear it.

"His Majesty?"

Xiao Jumao suddenly suppressed his smile, and said sharply: "You have been in high positions for many years, I'm afraid you have already forgotten the belief of being an official? Didn't you have any feelings when you heard about Cai Li last night? Or should you say that you have feelings? But have you sent people to Cai Guogong's mansion for this feeling?"

boom!

Xiao Jumao's words were like a thunderbolt hitting their hearts, did His Majesty know it?It's over!

"Come here!" Xiao Jumao put down the teacup in his hand, the clear and crisp impact made everyone's hearts beat fiercely.

I saw a row of Iron Feather Army throwing the bound servant-like people to the ground, just in front of them.

"I seem to have said that officials of the second rank and above are accompanying me. When did I say that they can follow? Also, I said last night that I would investigate the case of Cai Li, so you secretly sent people to Cai's mansion to deliver the news. Do you still have my emperor in your eyes!"

He pointed at one of them with his sword, and that person suddenly trembled like a sieve, sweating profusely, his face pale, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, I am not going to deliver news, I just, just..."

"Just what? You can't even make up a lie, can you?" Xiao Jumao pursed his lips slightly, the coldness raged on the sword, and the cold tip of the sword directly picked off the man's official hat, "You should ignore what I say. I don't need you anymore."

He had long wanted to exchange the court for a batch of blood. These courtiers formed cliques for selfish purposes, intertwined with each other, and formed their own forces. They have always ignored him. In fact, if it is just like this, it can be tolerated. Xiao Jumao What can't stand them is that they have been obsessed with power and money, disregarding the life and death of the people of the Xiao Kingdom, feeding on corpses, and searching for people's fat and people's anointing, what have they done?

Although, he also doubted Tan Shiguan before, but what makes Tan Shiguan cuter than them is that Tan Shiguan really cares about the people of Xiao Kingdom.

This time I brought them to Bailong Temple, just to let them regain some conscience, and the result?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Xiao Jumao looked at them indifferently, "This is the land of the Buddhist family, I will not kill, come here, take off the official hats of the two of them, and escort them back to the city for orders."

They have close ties with Duke Cai's mansion, and they should reveal some secrets under interrogation.

Tie Yujun forcibly tied up the crying and unwilling two people and dragged them out of the yard.

Chen Feng who was at the side was stunned. The incident happened so fast that he didn't react at all.Mother, this is a senior official of the second rank or above. If His Majesty said he would be dismissed, he would be dismissed without leaving any leeway, and he would dismiss two of them once, which made him feel a little panicked.

His Majesty seemed really angry.

But it's also their own fault, insisting on committing crimes against the wind, what news is there for nothing?Isn't this plucking the hair on the tiger's head?Can His Majesty not be angry?

Xiao Jumao and the others could no longer hear the voices of the two of them, waved the other trembling officials to retreat, then threw the sword back to Tan Shiguan, and said displeasedly: "You still think I'm a sick cat!"

Tan Shi smiled and comforted, "It's because they are too short-sighted."

Your Majesty, where is the sick cat?He is obviously a proud and soft-hearted tiger, who gave them a chance, but they didn't know how to cherish it.

Chen Feng swallowed his saliva. After this night, Duke Ding seemed to have changed. There seemed to be some difference between him and His Majesty.

"Ah, by the way, Your Majesty, when will we leave? My servant can go and make arrangements." He thought that His Majesty had been here for a day and a night, and he was going back to the palace after all.

"No hurry," Xiao Jumao turned his head to Zhao Quan and said, "Go prepare meals, Marquis Weiyuan will also stay and eat together." He must wait until Nian En comes back to ask the reason before he can leave.

Zhao Quan went to prepare breakfast, Xiao Jumao called Chen Feng to sit down, and asked casually, "How is the training camp?"

Chen Feng sat with his back straight, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty issued an imperial decree yesterday morning, and after dealing with those people, the rest are more obedient and obedient."

Xiao Jumao nodded, "Leave the matter of the training camp to Marquis Weiyuan."

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

At this time, Zhao Quan brought breakfast, which was just some porridge and side dishes. Zhao Quan was about to try the dishes when he saw Dingguo Gong move his chopsticks. His slender eyes looked at Tan Shiguan. It's fine to wash His Majesty's feet, why are you rushing to try the dishes now?If this goes on like this, will he still be the chief executive?

Chen Feng watched helplessly as the normally unkind Duke Dingguo finished the exam, and smiled and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's all right."

Then His Majesty glared at Duke Ding, and said in a displeased tone, "You don't have to do this kind of thing in the future."

"Yes."

Chen Feng silently lowered his head, anyway, he couldn't understand, Duke Dingguo expressed his loyalty, yet His Majesty is not happy?

The meal was overwhelmed, and after Zhao Quan removed the cups and plates, the abbot walked leisurely into the yard, bowed slightly and saluted, followed by a big monk in dirty clothes.

Xiao Jumao looked intently, and saw the monk facing him, and suddenly let out a "Huh".

"You are Master Nian En?" He asked.

Nian En looked him up and down, there was no awe of the emperor, only deep doubts, and he muttered: "It shouldn't be!"

Tan Shiguan held a long sword and took a step forward, "Master Nian En, please come in and talk."

It's better not to let other people know about such strange things.

Nian En's face suddenly became a little dignified, and he nodded and said, "Forget it."

Xiao Jumao and Tan Shiguan brought Nian En into the house, closed the door, and guarded it strictly with Tie Yujun.

Inside the house, Xiao Jumao picked up Yuan Bao from the bed and put it in front of Nian En, "Can Master Nian En explain my doubts?"

Thinking about his kindness for a long time, Fang said: "Ten years ago, Master Qi came to the temple to ask for a lottery. The poor monk calculated that His Majesty would have a catastrophe in ten years. It turned out to be a disease of leaving the soul." Master Qi is Xiao Jumao's concubine, His maternal ancestor's family name was Qi.

The disease of leaving the soul, indeed, his soul went into Yuan Bao's body.

"Then why did Zhen's soul return to his body, but Yuan Bao lost his soul?"

Nian En looked at Xiao Jumao again inquiringly, "Did Your Majesty encounter any accident that day?"

Xiao Jumao nodded, does it matter?

"The emperor has always been lucky. When His Majesty encountered an accident that day, if he was not careful, his soul would return to the sky. Perhaps it is because of this that His Majesty's spirit will temporarily return to his body. However, the disaster has not been eliminated, and Yuanbao will naturally not return to normal."

Xiao Jumao was a little confused when he heard it, "Could it be that my disaster has not been overcome?"

Tan Shiguan was also very worried, "Master Nian En, can you explain it more clearly?"

Nian En glanced at them, "Your Majesty just returned to his body temporarily, maybe when..."

Xiao Jumao pursed his lips tightly, and frowned his heroic eyebrows, "Then when will this catastrophe be resolved?"

"It depends on His Majesty's fortune."

Nian En sighed in his heart, if the sincerity of Qi's benefactor hadn't touched the Buddha, Xiao Jumao's catastrophe would have been more than just a disease of leaving his soul.

Seeing that the expressions of both of them were extremely dignified, he smiled and comforted him: "Actually, the poor monk thinks that this disease of leaving the soul is both a catastrophe and an opportunity. Don't you think so, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Jumao met Shang Nian'en's benevolent eyes, and his heart was a little turbulent. He looked at Tan Shiguan beside him, and what Nian'en said was right, if he hadn't become Yuan Bao, he would have been unable to see many things clearly.

If the catastrophe persists, if he will still become Yuanbao, then some things may be resolved more easily.

"Where is Yuan Bao's soul? Where is it? If the catastrophe passes, can you come back?" Xiao Jumao asked as he slid his palm over the tarnished hair on Yuan Bao's back.

Nian En shook his head and sighed: "I don't know about this poor monk, but with His Majesty's protection, he should be safe and sound."

"That's fine."

In this way, after talking with Nian En for a while, Xiao Jumao ordered to go back to the palace, there are still many things waiting for him.

On the way back, Xiao Jumao didn't want to take the carriage, so Tan Shiguan found him a fine horse, Xiao Jumao was happy to ride it, and left the carriage to Yuanbao.

After the two ministers accompanied Bailong Temple, the news that they were suddenly dismissed by the emperor still reached the ears of some people. They all speculated whether the emperor's move was because the two ministers made mistakes in Bailong Temple, or there were other reasons. reason.

After Xiao Jumao returned to the palace, he summoned all civil and military officials and asked Lan Yangui to state the crimes against the two in the Qiankun Palace. For some violations of law and discipline, it is estimated that living crimes are inevitable.

The two of them were already ashamed.

After the incident between Lin Mo and the two senior officials last time, the officials realized that the young emperor is no longer the young eagle before, but an eagle soaring with wings.

Xiao Jumao turned down and returned to Wende Palace, drank a cup of herbal tea with no expression on his face, and then said: "It's almost autumn, Your Majesty should drink hot tea."

"My heart is full of fire!" He put the teacup on the table, the tea in it splashed a little and wet his hands.

Tan Shiguan silently took a dry towel and wiped his hands for him.

Looking at his handsome face, Xiao Jumao suddenly sighed, "It's you who put me at ease."

Tan Shi watched with a smile, and looked back at him with deep eyes, "Didn't Your Majesty also investigate the minister?"

Xiao Jumao was slightly embarrassed, and said angrily: "That was before, since the death of my mother and concubine, I don't believe anyone."

Tan Shiguan dropped the cloth towel, gently held his hand, "Well, Your Majesty did the right thing."

Xiao Jumao withdrew his hand and said displeasedly: "You used to fight against me a lot, and never said I was right."

"For example?"

Xiao Jumao's eyes were sly, and he squinted at him, "For example, you didn't allow me to be a queen before."

Tan Shiguan's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, Fang slowly asked: "Then, does Your Majesty still want to become a queen?"

"If I say yes, what do you want?" Xiao Jumao observed his expression quietly.

Tan Shiguan moved his lips, but did not answer.

Xiao Jumao smiled suddenly, his eyebrows were curved, his eyes seemed to be full of starlight, he stretched out his hand to pinch Tan Shiguan's beautifully shaped chin, slowly approached him, and whispered: "If there is someone more beautiful than Duke Ding , I will consider it."

A layer of joy welled up in Tan Shiguan's heart, and just as he was about to reply, the smile on Xiao Jumao's face froze suddenly, and he closed his eyes in the next second, and fell straight into his arms.
