Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Qi Junmu's trip out of the palace is to express his feelings in front of Shen Nian, and at the same time confirm Shen Nian's reaction and attitude.In contrast, he doesn't care about how Shen Nian handles housework.

He gave him all the face he deserved, and what Shen Nian wanted to do was his business.

Qi Junmu only wants one result, he wants Shen Nian to be a knife in his hand, if Shen Nian is willing, everything is easy to talk about, if not, it doesn't matter, he can find another person to be a knife.

It's just that Qi Junmu likes Shen Nian's cleverness and the crazy character hidden in his bones, and looking for someone is afraid that the effect will not be so good, not to mention, as we all know, it's not a good job to stand in front of the emperor and point a knife at others.

Generally speaking, this kind of person has a high position and authority, is infinitely favored, and at the same time is very risky. He is used by the emperor and flattered by others. If he fails to flatter, he will be framed by others. The most important thing is that it may not be able to get a good death in the end.

It wasn't that Qi Junmu had to rely on Shen Nian, he didn't reveal his identity on the spot but gave Shen Nian a chance to think briefly.When this opportunity passes, no matter what Shen Nian thinks in his heart, he will put the person on the fire and roast him directly.

What attracted me was that the wolf was a dog, and I will know it later.

In fact, the emperor was quite sure that Shen Nian would agree, the man would make great achievements, and he had only read about such a desireless person in this world in books.He didn't believe that Shen Nian didn't think about the northern border at all. Shen Nian had lived in the northern border for more than ten years and protected the people in the northern border for more than ten years. All the scars on his body were left in the northern border.

The northern border can be said to be Shen Nian's hometown in his heart.

If it wasn't forced, Shen Nian would have preferred to go back to the northern border to guard the frontier in his previous life, instead of abandoning everything and leaving the capital sadly, knowing whether he would live or die in the end.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu was in a great mood.A courtier with Shen Nian's temperament may seem a bit rebellious to outsiders, but he likes it very much.In his previous life, apart from wanting the military power in Shen Nian's hands, he never forced Shen Nian to do anything. Of course, the trust and precautions he should give are still a little bit.

It was because of these, plus those troubles at home, that Shen Nian finally left the capital directly.

However, Qi Junmu's good mood only lasted until Suzaku Street and then disappeared. Suzaku Street was still some distance away from the palace, and they ran into the imperial army who came to look for him in the palace.

There were two groups of the imperial army, the ones who ran were clearly separated, the first wave was led by Qi Junzhuo, there were not many people, and there was a small group of people, all of them changed into plain clothes, probably the clothes were changed a little hastily, and some clothes didn't fit very well.

The first wave was led by Yang Jinglei, the left commander of the imperial guards. There were several groups of men and horses. They were dressed in the costumes of the imperial guards and rode tall horses, which was very majestic and magnificent.

When Qi Junzhuo and Yang Jinglei saw Ruan Jiqing, they felt relieved and rushed over. Yang Jinglei arrived before Qi Junzhuo, and asked before him: "Eunuch Ruan, the emperor is here."

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly said: "The emperor is inside."

Qi Junzhuo and Yang Jinglei got off their horses and greeted the emperor.Qi Junmu was in a bad mood, he didn't even lift the curtain, and his tone was a little cold: "Go back to the palace."

The carriage was moving very slowly, Qi Junmu asked Hu Ze to lead people to clear the way on both sides, and called Qi Junzhuo to the carriage to ask, "What's going on?"

Qi Junzhuo bent slightly on the horseback and said in a low voice: "When I left the palace, I met the guards guarding the Wumen. I saw that he was flustered and asked why. He said that the emperor might have left the palace without a guard. The younger brother was anxious, so he took their small team out of the palace to search. Commander Zuo came to look for the emperor's brother under the order of the empress dowager. It's too dangerous for you to go out of the palace without taking anyone with you. Both the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister were frightened."

Qi Junmu ignored the words and asked, "Which guard did you meet come from?"

There is a reason for him to ask this question. The imperial army is directly controlled by the emperor.

Most of the Forbidden Army was stationed in Beishan not far from the imperial city, also known as Beishan Imperial Guard. There were 5 horses stationed there, led by the commander of the Forbidden Army, but also set up by generals, who supervised and restricted each other with the commander of the Forbidden Army.

If one day someone wants to rebel, the emperor can send someone to directly transfer Beishan imperial guards into the imperial city to support them with military talismans and imperial edicts.

As for the imperial guards guarding the palace city, those who inspected and patrolled the palace day and night followed the emperor.

The imperial palace faces south as a whole, and the imperial guards in the palace are divided into four, each guarding the southeast, northwest, and south of the imperial city, led by the imperial guards.And those who can show their face beside the emperor are top-notch figures selected from the four institutes, who are also the imperial guards.

In addition, there are also some soldiers and horses in the capital, which guard the safety of all parts of the capital except the imperial city, and are under the unified jurisdiction of Jing Zhaoyin.

Qi Junzhuo naturally answered all the emperor's questions, and said that as long as the list of Wumen guards was obtained, the emperor would know about this kind of thing, and there was nothing to hide, so he said: "It's the guard Hu Hu who was banned in the North. Ze."

Qi Junmu rolled his eyelids, "Where is the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Zuo, is he also there?"

Qi Junzhuo said: "No, after he met his younger brother, this matter was suppressed by his younger brother. It should be reported by another guard at the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Zuo. According to Hu Ze, the guard who guarded the gate with him today It's Wang Jun from the South Institute."

Qi Junmu hummed and said nothing else.

Back in the palace, Qi Junmu had people punish Hu Ze and Wang Jun with [-] slaps each on the grounds of leaking the emperor's whereabouts and ignoring the emperor's comfort.

Then he didn't change his clothes, so he went directly to see the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is in a bad mood, if he delays for a while, she will be angry.

Even if Qi Junmu rushed to the Empress Dowager's palace immediately, the Empress Dowager's expression was not very good-looking.

After Lin Xiao greeted the emperor, the queen mother couldn't help but said angrily: "Your majesty, you are the emperor of Daqi. Look at what you look like now, what are you wearing, and what are you doing? There is nothing like an emperor in every piece."

Qi Junmu's face turned a little ugly for a moment, for some reason, these words sounded very harsh to him.

Seeing his expression, Lin Xiao thought badly. The mother and son were afraid that there would be a rift, so he hurriedly said respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Please calm down, Queen Mother. The emperor died of illness and the emperor ascended the throne. These days, the emperor must be suffering. This time I went out of the palace just to relax my mind. I know that the Empress Dowager cares about the safety of the Emperor, and the Emperor knows it well."

According to the past, Qi Junmu should have followed Lin Xiao's words to plead guilty to the Queen Mother, expressed his gratitude to the Queen Mother for her concern, and at the same time stated that he would never do such a thing again in the future to make the Queen Mother worry.

But now, because he feels uncomfortable, he doesn't bother to stage this scene of motherly kindness and filial piety.

He stood there upright, and responded in a calm manner.

This sound made Lin Xiao a little surprised, and the queen mother was even more surprised.As a courtier, Lin Xiao couldn't show much expression on his face, the queen mother was surprised for a moment, and then her face was full of anger.

With her hands clasped firmly on the chair, she said: "The emperor has grown up and has his own ideas. He thinks I'm annoying, so he doesn't listen to my words and doesn't want to take them to heart."

Her tone was very calm, but everyone could hear her peaceful anger. The palace servants and inner eunuchs who were serving all around lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The queen mother sneered and looked away from Qi Junmu's face, she looked at Ruan Jiqing.

The emperor was not someone she could vent her anger at will, not even his son, but Ruan Jiqing was different, he was the one who accompanied the emperor to go out alone.

Ruan Jiqing was so stared at by the queen mother, his legs went limp before he could speak, but fortunately he didn't kneel down and plead guilty.The emperor didn't admit his guilt, but his personal eunuch did, and that was slapping the emperor in the face.

Ruan Jiqing was sure that if he did this, he would not be able to survive the sun of tomorrow.

He understands this truth, but it doesn't prevent him from complaining in his heart. You said that the gods are fighting and dragging these insignificant people to do something. They are innocent.

The queen mother did not expect that Ruan Jiqing had quite a backbone, and this backbone became fuel to the fire at this time, and the bang made the anger in the queen mother's heart even stronger.

The queen mother looked at Ruan Jiqing, and said word by word: "Ruan Jiqing, you are the emperor's personal servant. When the emperor is wayward, you should dissuade him. You don't know how dangerous it is for the emperor to go out of the palace alone, but you dare to speak in private. Conceal it, if the emperor makes a mistake, even if you are hacked to death, you will have to bear the blame. The emperor has always been sensible, I think this matter is your idea behind the scenes."

Ruan Jiqing could pretend to be confused when the Empress Dowager did not roll her name, but now that the Empress Dowager did roll call, there is no way to pretend to be so confused, Ruan Jiqing could only kneel down with snot and tears and said: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, please spare me."

At this time, he can't cry out for injustice. To cry out for injustice means that the emperor is wrong, and he can't plead guilty. Bewitching the emperor is a capital crime, and he will die if he confesses.He was very clear in his heart that the queen mother just felt that the emperor was not giving face and wanted to take out her anger on him.

In any case, today's beating won't let him escape. It can be said that he was punished on behalf of the emperor, and what he endured was an unwarranted disaster.

"Come here, drag Ruan Jiqing down with fifty sticks, so that he will have a long memory in the future." The queen mother gave such an order as Ruan Jiqing thought.

He thought the matter would end like this, but as soon as the queen mother finished speaking, Qi Junmu spoke again, and he said: "My mother, Ruan Jiqing didn't make any mistakes, fifty sticks is too much."

When Ruan Jiqing heard that he wanted to argue with the Queen Mother, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave made the Queen Mother angry, this slave should suffer."

The queen mother laughed, and she said: "Then what does the emperor mean?"

Qi Junmu raised his eyes: "Ruan Jiqing is the person who is close to the child. There is a saying that is good, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. The queen mother is not going to hit Ruan Jiqing, but to hit me in the face. I am Jun, I want to go out of the palace, and he can only listen and follow as a servant. If he doesn't listen or dares to reveal my whereabouts at will, I can destroy his nine clans. The mother is in a bad mood and wants to teach me a lesson, but I just listen , but the queen mother can never interfere with the affairs around me. Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics."

"You..." The moment the Queen Mother spoke from Qi Junmu, her heart heaved violently.After Qi Junmu finished speaking, she suddenly stood up, pointing her index finger at the young emperor who didn't want to be controlled.

Qi Junmu looked at her and smiled slightly: "Mother, don't be angry. I always remember my father's teaching that the emperor is the son of man first. The mother is in a bad mood, so I ask Bai Feng to check her pulse. Don't be angry because of the child." body."

"Hail knows that the queen mother doesn't want to see the baby now, so the baby will not hinder the eyes of the queen mother when he returns to the palace."

Without being out of breath, he brought out Emperor Jing to speak out, severely aggrieved the Queen Mother, turned around and left.

The back is free and easy, and the mood is comfortable.

Ruan Jiqing on the ground looked at the empress dowager who was extremely angry, swallowed his saliva, and finally saluted the empress tremblingly, and trotted all the way to follow the emperor.

He knew that if he didn't slip away again, the queen mother might really kill him.It's just that starting today, he can only hug the emperor's thigh.

When Qi Junmu left, the queen mother swept the tea cups on the table to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Lin Xiao signaled the surrounding servants to retreat.

No one is a fool, and no one will stay to be angry.

After everyone had left, the Queen Mother sat slumped on the rug. Lin Xiao couldn't bear to see her expression of extreme loss, so he took a step forward and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is getting older."

"His wings became hard when he got bigger, so he forgot how he sat in this position?" The Queen Mother sneered.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "The emperor's heart is filial, but he is the emperor, queen mother, you really wanted to beat Eunuch Ruan just now, how will outsiders view the emperor? Some people will definitely think that the emperor is cowardly, and the queen mother in the palace is respected. If things go on like this , if it is exploited by others, the mother-child bond between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor may become unfamiliar."

The queen mother raised her eyes, her eyes were a little blurred, she said: "I didn't mean that, it's just... It's just that the emperor was not like this before, you send someone to check carefully, what happened to the emperor recently, is it given by someone? Bewitched."

If someone hadn't said something, no matter how annoyed Qi Junmu was today, he would not have said such cruel words, and even directly compared her to a person in the harem who wanted to covet the government.

If it gets out, can she, the queen mother, still live in the palace?

Lin Xiao saw that the queen mother was a bit stubborn, so he agreed with the matter with a sigh.

When he was about to leave, the Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead and said with a tired face: "You can let your sister-in-law enter the palace tomorrow, she hasn't finished the book she taught last time."

Lin Xiao said: "Yes."
