half life slave

After three or five days, Rong Yu was able to sit up freely, thinking about whether it would be appropriate to stay in Qianqing Palace like this, so he asked Shen Hui to move back to his room.

Knowing that he was always cautious, Shen Hui didn't say much, and agreed to his request.Anyway, he lived in Qianqingmen, not too far away, so it was very convenient to summon him or visit him in person.

It was only ten days before the big wedding, and the palace became more and more busy.Rong Yu was injured and couldn't do it himself, so Lin Sheng was only asked to tell him the contents of the reports from the palace people outside every day, and then assigned them one by one to deal with.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, neither too hot nor too cold.After Lin Sheng finished his report, he talked about the cherry blossoms in Shanglin Garden, which looked so beautiful from a distance, and advised him that sitting in the house for a long time would make him feel bored, so why not go out for a walk to relax his muscles and bones.

It's right to think about it, Shen Hui never restricted him from walking in the palace.At the moment there is no concubine in the harem, Shen Hui is the only master in the whole palace, so it is not a problem to stroll to the imperial garden.

After standing up and putting on the cloak, Lin Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him. He looked at it and laughed, "I hurt my arm, not my leg. There's no need for this."

Having said that, Lin Sheng was still cautious and led him into the garden.

I met many palace people along the way, and when they saw him coming out, they all retreated to the side of the road and bowed to salute, their attitude seemed more respectful than before - because everyone knew that he had done a great job in saving him, and Shen Hui still doted on him even more , Just look at the rare tonics that are sent to his house every day, and you will understand it all.

Rong Yu was used to keeping a low profile, and he didn't bother to greet everyone, so he bypassed the main road and walked on the path where no one went.

The cherry blossoms in Shanglinyuan really bloom like clouds and rosy clouds. When a gust of wind blows by, the petals fall freely. Being under the cherry tree, it seems to be bathed in a fragrant spring rain.

After standing for a while, Rong Yu walked along the path to rest at the gazebo. Just after he left the garden, he suddenly saw a young man in guard uniform, kneeling upright by the side of the road.

He looked intently, and recognized that person as Wei Yan, the commander of the imperial guards, and couldn't help but feel suspicious, how could he be forced to kneel here when he was not in front of the imperial guard?

Turning around to ask Lin Sheng, the latter curled his lips and sighed, "It's not because of the disadvantage of the escort last time. The emperor originally said that they should not be entirely blamed and should be punished lightly. , To impeach the commander of the guards, they are old people who have accompanied the emperor since he was the king of Chu, they should not be so careless, the crime of causing the holy driver to be in danger is unforgivable, and must be severely punished."

"Although the emperor was reluctant, he still said that he should be punished if he had done something wrong, so he sentenced the 20 people who followed the guard camp that day to eighty royal staffs each."

Rong Yu frowned, thinking that the number of eighty sticks is huge, even if one has martial arts skills, it is not easy to fight, even if he is not dead, he will lose half his life.The imperial guards are so majestic and embarrassing on weekdays, and they are dragged to the Meridian Gate to be punished with a stick, which is regarded as a very severe punishment.

"Then why was Commander Wei punished to kneel again? Did he plead with the emperor for his subordinates?"

Lin Sheng nodded, "That's right, Lord Wei is also a man, and he told the emperor frankly that his brothers' delay in action that day was because of his bad command, and he should be fined if he is punished. The emperor asked him to charge him with a staff of one hundred." , but anyone who is not dead will always have to take the blame and ask to serve the king, and I only ask for grace to spare the group of people below."

While listening, Rong Yu couldn't help but pay more attention to Wei Yan, but he was in his early twenties, with extremely handsome features, with his neck held high, kneeling there neither humble nor overbearing, exuding a mighty righteousness all over his body.

Willing to be considerate of his subordinates regardless of himself, this kind of loyalty is really rare, but it is only a hundred sticks, which is more or less auspicious.Although Rong Yu has not seen it with his own eyes, but he has also heard that when the imperial staff was deployed in the previous court, some people died on the spot when they went down ten boards.

He wanted to plead for Wei Yan at the moment, and was thinking of saying something, when Lin Sheng sighed quietly, "It's a pity that such a good man, it is said that he has knelt for two hours, it seems that the emperor does not intend to reward him."

With a twitch in his heart, Rong Yu turned his head and glanced at Lin Sheng, and then turned his head to look around. He already had doubts. This place is already out of the imperial garden, and few people come and go. How could he choose such a secluded place?

Thinking about going for a walk in Shanglinyuan, it was Lin Sheng who proposed it on his own initiative, and a half-formed idea flashed through his mind. Could it be that Shen Hui had accepted it, and the purpose was to let him see this scene.

So with his personality, he must feel that the punishment is too heavy, and he will plead for mercy in all likelihood. Could it be that Shen Hui is waiting for him to plead?

Turning his mind around, he smiled, no matter what the result is, Shen Hui's move must have a deep meaning, since it is arranged in this way, then he can act in a play together.

In the evening, Rong Yu went to the Nuan Pavilion, and he hadn't served Shen Hui for several days. Seeing that he had just had dinner, he personally brewed tea for digestion and brought it to the imperial court.

Seeing that he was wearing a bandage in one hand, Shen Hui said angrily, "Who allowed you to come here? If you don't take good care of it, are you planning to use this arm?"

Rong Yu said no in a low voice, "The dressing is changed every day, and the bones have almost grown. Thanks to the meticulous care of the Tai Hospital, I can recover so quickly." After a pause, he replied with a light smile, "If you The left arm is disabled, and the imperial bodyguards have disabled legs, so I am afraid there will be no one around the emperor for a while."

Shen Hui turned to him, "You know everything? Want to beg me for someone who has nothing to do with you?"

Tolerance and bowing, "Although I dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with Commander Wei and others, they can be regarded as serving in front of the imperial court. Since we meet day and night, it cannot be said that it is irrelevant. What's more, I also participated in the hunting process and experienced it personally. If we say that day It is true that the minister proposed to change the clothes for the emperor, which would bring about disasters. If you want to punish, you should punish the minister for not thinking carefully. Lord Wei waited in the distance. It is understandable to be late, and I ask the emperor to forgive me a little bit. The emperor is about to get married, and the whole world should celebrate together, in my humble opinion, it is more appropriate to be kind than to be strict at this time."

Shen Hui smiled when he heard that, "You taught me a lesson? The injury is better, and there are no rules anymore?"

Although it was a question, there was always a hint of a smile in his tone of voice, Rong Yu knew that he was not angry, but he still kept his hands down, and dared not say, "I ask you to punish yourself, and please treat the emperor equally."

"Nonsense! You've been hurt like this. How can I punish you? I'll drag you outside the Meridian Gate to beat you up too?" Shen Hui looked at him up and down with a sneer on his face. I can't stand it."

Rong Yu said, "The one hundred sticks, no matter how good your body is, will be ruined. Commander Wei has been with the emperor since Chonghua Palace. He has been diligent and diligent all these years. Can the emperor change the way of punishment and save his life?" He has a face."

Dayin Tingzhang has always been cruel, and the torture stick used is extremely heavy, and clothes can be smashed in a few hits. If the cloth gets mixed into the wound, it will easily cause infection, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause death.Therefore, since the Shengping Dynasty, the emperor changed the rule of torture to remove the clothes and receive the stick.But this way of saving people's lives has its own meaning of humiliation. The courtiers are degraded, and that kind of psychological torture is no less than physical pain.

"In your opinion, what kind of punishment is appropriate?"

Rong Yu knew that these guards were all of good background, and the most important thing they lacked was salary. If the penalty salary was too painless, they added the punishment method of demotion.

Shen Hui nodded secretly, with a straight face, "When you go back and write the scriptures, you must hit the point, rewards and punishments must be reasonable, and it must be reasonable. If it is good, I will play it. If it is not good, I will punish you as well. "

This is the promise, Rong Yusong knelt down to thank him.On the contrary, it took a little effort to write the book, he knew it was for the courtiers, and he needed to silence everyone.So he described the situation of that day in detail, and his words were sincere; he even counted the achievements of Wei Yan and others in the past; finally, he talked about the wedding of the emperor and queen.

A few days later, he heard the news from Lin Sheng that Shen Hui ordered Wei Yan and others to be dismissed from their posts.When he first heard about it, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Being dismissed from his post as an imperial bodyguard was not a light punishment.

It was strange why Shen Hui did this, it was obvious that he asked himself to intercede, but there was not much change in the result, after careful consideration, he always felt that something was not quite right.

The next day, he was studying in his room when Lin Sheng introduced a person, but it was Wei Yan who had taken off his bodyguard uniform.He got up to greet him, Wei Yan bowed his head, and said in a humble and sincere tone, "Thank you for saving me with the palm print, Wei is very grateful, I hope that in this life, I will only look forward to the palm print, and I will use this body to repay the palm seal's great favor."

Rong Yu hurriedly pulled him up, "It's not a trivial matter, I just told the truth that day, I should also thank the emperor for his kindness, Lord Wei, please don't do this."

Thinking about the meaning of his words, he asked again, "What is Master Wei's plan for the future?"

Wei Yan bowed a few more times before he was willing to get up, "The villain is a jobless person at the moment. With the grace of the emperor, Xu Xiaoren will serve in front of the palm seal from now on, and be driven by the palm seal. The villain has nothing to say, but I hope that I can do my best for the palm seal." Serve."

Rong Yu is still puzzled, is it possible that from now on, he will have some guards by his side, "Brother Wei, Mr. Lin doesn't understand what he said, please explain it to me."

Wei Yan smiled brightly, "The villain knew that this time he was saved thanks to the palm prints. When the emperor told the villain, he asked if he would like to reimburse the benefactor. Earlier, the emperor had secretly ordered the villain to choose people who would be used by the emperor, just to build a batch The confidant guards, the villain has already selected the candidates, and only waits for the emperor to make a decision. According to the emperor's intention, in the future, this group of people will be handed over to the palm print."

At this moment, Rong Yu had fully understood. Thinking of all kinds of things before, it turned out that Shen Hui had already made arrangements, and this well-intentioned effort was actually paving the way for himself, and he couldn't help feeling a little sweet in his heart.

After a long while, Wei Yan said again, "The emperor once mentioned to the villain that this bodyguard team is directly under the emperor, and the chief must be a trusted person selected by the emperor, who is responsible for secretly investigating the six departments and monitoring officials. It is limited to the capital, and when the manpower is ready, we will inspect the other places as well."

It sounds like they are close to the responsibilities of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. With emotion and emotion, I was still sad that no one was available to me a few days ago. I didn't expect Shen Hui to have made arrangements. When it comes to the emperor's mind, it is really unfathomable.

Xu Xu talked for a while, Wei Yan expressed his unwavering loyalty to him, Rong Yuzi didn't doubt this, and readily accepted it, telling him to go back and wait for the emperor's order, and make arrangements in the future.

After sending Wei Yan away, he went straight to Xinuang Pavilion. Shen Hui was reviewing papers in front of the case, and without raising his head when he heard footsteps, he said calmly, "Wei Yan has looked for you? Do you have any plans for the people under your command in the future? "

Asking this question reminded him of the factory guard system in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, he really didn’t like this kind of spy agencies. They could be used as a means for the emperor to restrain his ministers. The original intention of setting up an intelligence agency cannot be wrong. The key It also depends on how to operate, as far as possible not to evolve into a brutal bureaucracy.

After thinking about it, Rong Yu said what was in his mind, "I understand that I am serving the emperor, so naturally I will follow your instructions and intend to secretly supervise and evaluate officials at all levels for the emperor."

Shen Huiyang smiled, "Don't blindly act in secret, otherwise it will be difficult to deter. When the time is right, I will make it known to the world. Since it is an institution that belongs to me, it must have an official title. You are the master of those people Now, you might as well think of a good name for yourself."

Rong Yu also laughed, thinking of Xichang, he knew that it was specially set up by Ming Xianzong for the eunuch Wang Zhi. It is parallel, presumably there will be similarities.

"Xichang? Then let's add the post of admiral." Shen Hui didn't take it seriously when he heard such a word, nodded, picked up the imperial pen and wrote it down, and sealed it as the governor The eunuch in charge of the West Factory.

When Rong Yu saw him put down his pen, Fang Lingzhi thanked him, raised his head, met his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, felt grateful in his heart, and kowtowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

In the two verses, each has nothing to say, and everything is in silence.

Shen Hui set up such a scheme for him to help him buy people's hearts, so that those guards with their eyes above the top would be devoted to an eunuch from now on, and he would provide him with many conveniences in his future actions - except for being grateful, he didn't know, but also What can I say.

The author has something to say: I would like to pay tribute to the young Yingte, the amazingly talented admiral Wang Zhi, the admiral of the West Factory~ That is also a person with a story, friends who are interested can go find it, anyway, I also I only know the surface, enough ups and downs...
