Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Shen Nian originally wanted to ask a lot, but seeing Qi Junmu's expression, he suddenly didn't want to ask any more.

In fact, he knew very well that the emperor did this just to get enough hatred for him, and then to get himself out of these things cleanly.At that time, the emperor will be innocent, and he should be struck by lightning in the eyes of everyone.

Things have become like this, the only one he can rely on is the emperor, and the only one he can be loyal to is the emperor.The emperor did this entirely on the basis that he felt that he would be used willingly.

Shen Nian was a little puzzled, where did the emperor get his confidence, so confident that he would follow suit?Isn't the emperor afraid that everything is too late, and things will be reversed when they are extreme?

If because of these things, Shen Nian has a different heart and wants to form an alliance with other people to find a way out, there must be many people who hate him in their hearts, but there will be many people who are willing to cooperate.

Is the emperor really not afraid at all?

Shen Nian was thinking about this, and his heart was rarely at a loss. He didn't know whether the emperor used it with absolute trust, or whether the emperor was convinced that he could not escape his palm?

If it is the former, then after he is used up, the emperor should let him live.If it was the latter, things would get complicated. The emperor obviously wanted his life.

Since ancient times, the emperor's mind has been unpredictable, and these words really make sense.Seeing that the emperor is young and the city is so deep, it is quite a scary thing to be born in the emperor's family.

"What is Shen Qing thinking?" Qi Junmu waited patiently and sincerely for a while and couldn't help but ask. He found that Shen Nian hadn't spoken the whole time, the expression in his eyes changed inexplicably, and finally he stared at him with strange eyes. He looked as if he had encountered some unsolvable problem through the ages.

Shen Nian was startled by this question, he lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I just want to shut down Yushi."

"Huh?" This was Qi Junmu's totally unexpected answer. He had some doubts on his face. He thought that Shen Nian would ask himself why he did this, but in the end, this man played his cards completely unreasonably. What he said was completely different from the current situation. Irrelevant.

After all, Qi Junmu was the emperor, and his doubts were only for a moment, and he quickly restrained himself. He followed Shen Nian's words and said: "How is the investigation of Guan Yushi's case going?"

Shen Nian could clearly see the emperor's momentary distraction. Seeing that the emperor was now wearing a mask of perfect alienation, Shen Nian only felt that being an emperor was pitiful, at least it was tiring to live like this.

But soon he felt that he was sick, his life was in the hands of this poor and tired man, and he could be crushed at any time.It's good for him, he doesn't want to think about his own life, what's the use of thinking about these messy things.

So Shen Nian said: "Guan Yushi died for too long, the scene is very clean, I didn't find anything suspicious."

"Since there is nothing suspicious, what's the use of Shen Qing talking about it?" Qi Junmu said lightly.

Shen Nian smiled slightly, his eyes brightened slightly: "It's because it's too clean that it looks suspicious." When he smiled sincerely, those eyes seemed to be filled with affection, sincere and hot.

Qi Junmu looked at him with no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, it's a pity that he has such a pair of eyes that attract peach blossoms, and he didn't attract any peach blossoms in his previous life.

This idea floated in his mind so much, the emperor thought a little bitterly that he himself didn't seem to be much better.In his previous life, he successfully picked a peach blossom, but it was a pity that the peach blossom turned green at some point.

For a moment, Qi Junmu didn't know who was more pitiful, he or Shen Nian.

Shen Nian felt that the emperor's mind was hard to guess, and he didn't know what he thought of, looking at his expression, he was a little gloating, a little sighing and a little sympathetic.

Shen Nian thought about it, but he couldn't figure out where he and the emperor deserved sympathy.

Fortunately, the emperor quickly got rid of this look and asked about Guan Han.

Shen Nian put his mind on the business, he said: "Guan Han's family is poor, he has no wife and no children, and his parents are not in the capital. But he has a high-minded character, and he only wants to be a master and be respected by others. I have checked him I have read his poems in his life, and he doesn't seem like a person who wants to die because of a little thing."

Qi Junmu nodded, Guan Han was very capable of bending and stretching, and he was unwilling to die, so he said, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing that the emperor agrees with what he said, Shen Nian continued: "When Guan Yushi died, there was no trace of struggle, which made me puzzled. People are hanging, even if they are willing, they must die when they are dying." Struggling uncontrollably, his hands naturally drooped and he should have been quite calm at the time."

Qi Junmu hummed: "Someone wants to use Guan Han to slander me and charge me with cruelty and stupidity. There are only a few in the capital who can benefit from it."

"I think it's not just a few." Shen Nian glanced at the emperor, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please say something outrageous. The former emperor's brothers and relatives fled and died, but they There are always loyal and loyal people protecting the master, didn’t you, the emperor, also suffer in this regard?”

Several brothers of Emperor Jing were killed, but they still had heirs who were exiled in various places.

Those people will more or less have connections in the capital, and there will be some old people in the palace.There will always be people who think that Emperor Jing came to the throne improperly, that he is not worthy of being an emperor because of his brutal methods, and that only those who died are eligible to sit on the throne.

Qi Junmu raised his eyes to look at Shen Nian, his clear eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, he said coldly: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you have a problem with Father?"

"I dare not." Shen Nian was not afraid, he said with sincerity on his face: "When what happened back then, I was still young, I didn't know what was right and wrong, and I was not a historian, so I didn't dare to make random comments. "

Qi Junmu will not punish others for this matter. Everyone has a scale in their hearts and their own evaluation of what Emperor Jing has done. There are very few people like Shen Nian who dare to mention it in front of him.

Even Lin Xiao never said anything about Emperor Jing.

Qi Junmu thought for a while and said: "Since you have such doubts, you should slowly investigate this matter. It's just that Guan Han's death must be explained to me, and I can't always bear the charges he accused."

Although Shen Nian put the blame on his head that day, but Guan Han's death was not found out for a day, some people in the world would think that he died because of the emperor, and some people would think that Guan Han didn't care about border soldiers because of Shen Nian's words. , is just a despicable person who can play tricks and want to get a good reputation, and some people think that Shen Nian is just a person who will step on other people's corpses to climb up.

Shen Nian's heart moved slightly when he heard that, judging from his contact these days, Qi Junmu is not a person who pays special attention to reputation, and he probably did this more for him.

The emperor didn't want him to bear such a reputation.

But the emperor didn't express it, and Shen Nian couldn't ask more questions.

He has some understanding of the emperor's temperament, and he is a person who doesn't want people to guess his mind.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian had a smile in his eyes, and he said: "Don't worry, your majesty, there is something wrong with Guan Yushi's death, but we don't know what's going on, and we need the right time, place and people to investigate these things in detail." Now that we all know that there is something wrong with Guan Yushi's death, Weichen wants to post a notice to tell the world, so that people can provide clues. This matter can't be investigated now, and we will investigate slowly in the future, and the truth will come to light one day."

Qi Junmu originally meant the same thing, but now that he heard Shen Nian's words, he couldn't help but think in his heart that it's okay to pick talents by himself, and Shen Nian is really a good person.

Guan Han was murdered, as long as this is revealed and known, the emperor who was accused by Guan Han, and Shen Nian who defended the emperor, can be extracted from this accusation.

At that time, the focus of people's attention will only be that since Guan Han was murdered, they will then think, since those words were not Guan Han's original intention, who on earth wanted to accuse the emperor of such crimes.

People's eyes will naturally turn to those who can benefit from this incident, and those courtiers who have made various small moves behind their backs will stop for a while even if they want to avoid suspicion.

Thinking that there will be a few days of silence in the future, Qi Junmu looks at Shen Nian with more and more satisfaction.

Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, Shen Nian half-seriously and half-jokingly said: "The emperor just said that the minister will take over the post of commander of the imperial guards. The humble minister has just returned to Beijing. I don't know how many roads there are in the palace. I'm afraid that I will be appointed like this." It’s hard to convince people.”

"If you don't know the way in the palace, then take advantage of Yang Jinglei's absence and take a few more trips. As for not being able to convince the public, with me here, what are you afraid of?" Qi Junmu knew that Shen Nian didn't want to take over this matter, but he had the There are really not many military generals who have no selfishness and are not closely related to the aristocratic families in the capital that can be used. Shen Nian, the left commander, will do it if he doesn't.

Knowing that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, Shen Nian said bitterly with a sarcasm: "Since the emperor asked the minister to do this job, he must give it to ICBC. You can't just want the horse to run, but also don't want the horse to be full." .”

Qi Junmu saw that Shen Nian was good at regulating emotions, and that he found the stairs very well, so he squinted at him and said, "Why, Zhenbei Hou is still short of money?"

Shen Nian became interested when he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, you only reward humble ministers with titles, this reward is not much."

Qi Junmu suddenly realized, he stretched his voice and said: "You said that, but I remembered it. When you were in the north, you thought that the money would be rewarded after you returned to Beijing. There were so many things a year ago. After this year, I didn't expect that you couldn't wait to speak by yourself."

Facing the emperor's vague sarcasm, Shen Nian just didn't know. He laughed twice: "Isn't this poor minister?" Anyway, if he didn't open his mouth, the emperor would definitely not give it.

No matter what, getting the silver in your hand is real.

Seeing his rascal appearance, the emperor felt his stomach ache, and he said, "Your money is indispensable."

Then he raised his voice in exchange for Ruan Jiqing, and gave Shen Nian the imperial decree that had been written and sealed long ago: "The Beishan Imperial Guard has not encountered any danger these years, and their training has slacked off a lot. Shen Qing is a hero on horseback. When I go to Beishan, I will let those imperial guards learn from you."

Shen Nian was also speechless in admiration for the emperor's ability to make the best use of everything, but he was short of manpower, so he took the job.

So Shen Nian said: "The minister is used to wild ways at the border, if the emperor doesn't feel sorry for the guards, the minister can make a fuss."

"You can do whatever you want, I also want to see how capable the Beishan Imperial Guard is."

Shen Nian said: "Since the emperor said so, then you just wait and see."

@@@

After Shen Nian entered the palace temporarily as Commander Zuo, all the officials were jealous and envious of him.

Shen Nian didn't care about this at all. After entering the palace, he was extremely high-profile, and he was very lazy in everything. He would never do things that he could tell others.

Naturally, some people could not understand him acting like this, and some people in the court complained that he had no status in the palace, and Qi Junmu suppressed the papers without replying.Shen Nian became more and more proud in the palace, faintly tending to be No.1 in the emperor's heart.

On this day, when the lights were on, the queen sent a plate of small flower pastries.This dim sum was made by Wen Wan herself. Qi Junmu had eaten it once at Lin's house before.

Qi Junmu looked at the dim sum with a gloomy complexion.The maid in Weiyang Palace lowered her head and stammered in a low voice, saying that the Empress had recovered from her illness and wanted to see the Emperor.

Qi Junmu thought for a while and said, "Go to Weiyang Palace."

Since he woke up, he has never seen Wen Wan again. In his memory, Wen Wan always let him come and go, and never invited him to Weiyang Palace.

This sudden show of weakness made Qi Junmu a little taken aback, suddenly he really wanted to see what Wen Wan wanted to do.
