Sheng Shi Merciful Light

The second day of September in the 30th year of Tianshou.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the year name was proposed to be Deguang, but this year is not over yet, for the convenience of counting the year, and also to show "respect and memory, without changing the way of the father", the old year name is still used.

This is the tenth day after the death of the first emperor, the first day after the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Deguang, the haze in the distant sky has not dissipated, and the mourning lingering over Tianjing City has disappeared.

The dense fog in the morning covered every corner of the palace gently and carefully. On the cornice of Chongzheng Hall, no matter how fierce and vivid the guarding beasts were, they were all hidden in the thick fog, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Two rows of imperial guards stood on both sides of the Beaulieu Staircase, and the mist gathered mischievously on their eyebrows, converging into a clear stream, winding down their cold faces, but it could not shake their cold expressions at all.

In the depths of the dense fog, the palace walls were loose, hiding a row of servants in gray linen clothes, their expressions were empty and numb, and their eyes were out of focus, staring at the empty white mist in front of them.The white mist soaked all their sackcloth, and the dangling wide sleeves remained motionless.

A bird rising in the morning, singing "chirp chirping", beckoning friends on the branches, guiding the direction of the bugs, has become the only vividness in this blurred world.

……

Suddenly, a slender but tall figure in fluttering white clothes walked slowly from the dense fog...

He walked to the bottom of the Panlong stairs, stepped on the body of the dragon without any hesitation, and walked up...

Like the Panlong stone steps that only the emperor can walk, it's just normal.

Any new guards were warned in advance: there is His Highness the King of Chu who only wears white clothes in the palace.

He is outstanding in intelligence, has a great mind, and has a heart for the world. He is benevolent and merciful. It is said that he is a star in the sky who descended to earth and protected me for thousands of years.

Only the new emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Chu can step on the eighty-eight, sixty-four coiled dragons on the Panlong Stone Steps.

Behind the slender figure of the King of Chu, there are four shadow-like generals in brocade clothes following him. The leader is wearing purple clothes and a golden ribbon, with a sword on his waist, stern eyes and a majestic aura.

Even if you don't know the King of Chu, you should know the leading general who wears a first-grade Duke's brocade uniform - the number one master in the world, the former commander of the Imperial Palace Army, the only adopted son of the former emperor, the Lord Protector!Mou Yu!

Although his ostensible position is only as the Guard of the Chu Palace, it does not detract from his majesty in the Yulin Army and in everyone's mind.

As the most trusted confidant and most respected elder brother of the King of Chu, his future is limitless, and the title of duke is not yet his peak.

Not to mention, he is also involved in a secret but powerful organization-Night Walker.

……

He led the other three people, not stepping on the dragon, separated from the two sides, and followed closely by stepping on the steps on both sides.

……

The thick fog seems to love to be close to the beauty of King Chu. The white water vapor splashed on his delicate face, making his clear eyebrows and slender eyelashes thicker and darker, making his beautiful eyes clear and bright. God, add a little pure clarity and dazzling brightness.

He was wearing a four-clawed prince's suit, not the imperial crimson red, but as white as a cloud.The thin clothing material has been soaked by the dense fog, sticking to the body, making this young and beautiful body a bit thin and slender.

But his unwavering gaze, the arrogance of walking with his head held high, and his calm and calm elegance all exude a power that can stabilize the world.

What an awesome king.

The empty eyes of the servants outside the hall began to focus, and they were in a trance again.Until a high-pitched voice pierced through the maze and reached Yunxiao: "His Royal Highness King Chu is here!"

"His Royal Highness King Chu arrived..."

"His Royal Highness King Chu arrived..."

"..."

One after another, the message of the future was delivered to the silent Chongzheng Hall.

This is the second day of September, the first grand court meeting after the new emperor ascended the throne yesterday. This day's court will be fresh in everyone's memory, but it is still kept secret.

……

Emperor Deguang was very young, but he had already been exposed to it in this palace, or he might have learned it from his deceased father—arming himself with silence and expressionlessness, covering up all emotions and anger, the king's heart is unpredictable.

This is the first time for the new emperor to go to court. People who are qualified to go to the court above the fifth rank have come. They are divided into three classes. The nobles on the left are princes and nobles; Board, standing in awe with downcast eyes.

Because of the former emperor's enthusiasm for filial piety (Qiqi, within 49 days), all people wore white cloth around their hats and a hemp rope on their shoulders, which was called "wearing filial piety in linen".

The court meeting, which has always been noisy and often caused violent gang fights, was once again uncharacteristically quiet. The 120 seven people also seemed to be disturbed by the all-pervasive white mist, and lost the desire to speak.

Silence, starting from the Great Court Meeting, has continued until now.

The main hall door was slowly opened.

The middle door is wide open.

Ten eunuchs on the left and right each slowly pushed open the heavy iron and wood gate.

This is the importance and respect for the king of Chu.

Not only his identity, but also his personality charm.

- He deserves everyone's respect.

Although he grew up in the cold palace, he couldn't change it. He was the last emperor's most beloved prince.A proud son of heaven who can stand side by side with the former emperor and be worshiped by all officials.

Although this kind of favor was only a few months, it made him the first prince to own a feudal land since the founding of the Taixing Dynasty.It is said that he resolutely resigned from the rich place in the south and chose the barren land in the north to face the threat of the northern grassland and guard the country on behalf of the emperor.

It is also said that he rejected the proposal of the emperor to make him the crown prince, firmly upholding the orthodoxy of "succession by the eldest son", letting the eldest third brother succeed him, and not trying to seize the world, avoiding a bloody change of imperial power The wind maintains the stability of the country.

The overall situation is the most important, virtuous, benevolent, and high-spirited, so that everyone can only admire and admire.

In the main hall, the light was bright, misty white mist poured in from the door, and rolled and flowed behind Mu Ci. The mist was transpiring, making him appear like a fairy coming to the world, and the stars descending to earth.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel awed.

……

Mu Ci stepped into the main hall, and walked slowly and leisurely in the hall, with cold brows and indifferent lips, revealing an indifference to anyone or anything.

But his pace was slow and steady, walking step by step, the slightly swaying white robe corner became the only trace of agility in this dead, solemn and quiet hall.

……

Step by step, Mu Ci walked through the gap between Xungui and Wenchen.The officials on both sides involuntarily moved away to let him pass smoothly.

A few people behind him also entered, all of them have positions, and they are all above the fourth rank, and they all want to go to court.

Mou Yu didn't go to stand in the position of Duke Protector, he wore the weapon that the former emperor authorized to go to the palace on his waist, and the sleeves on his arms were dangerously bulging, and Mu Ci, who was still accompanying him, never left a single step.He Qiujun, Qi Feng, and An Qing took their positions among the generals, but kept their eyes on Mu Ci, expressing silent support.

Among the generals, Bai Lin, who had already been classified as King Chu's camp, looked up at Mu Ci who had lost weight.This is the first time they have met, but they are already connected by fate.

On the high stage, on the dragon chair of Liuyun Diaolong, the owner has changed.

The young and handsome Deguang Emperor Mu Zan (Because the reading characters are widely used and it is troublesome to avoid taboos, the emperor has always changed his name. From this we can see the gentleness of the rulers of the Daxing Dynasty.)

Mu Zan raised his eyelids, and through the bead curtain hanging in front of the crown, he silently watched his ninth brother who had been cared for by his father for many years and was entrusted to him by his father.

Now this little brother has become a piece of cartilage in his heart, and even thinking about it makes him feel distressed.

Brother Jiu, are you feeling better?

When Emperor Tianshou passed away, Mu Ci supported his injured and fragile body and participated in all the ceremonies. Although his attendant Mu Ruosong did all the kneeling and guarding, Mu Ci still couldn't hold on and fell ill again.

On the day of the funeral, the Duke of Huguo will hold the coffin to see the spirit.

Everyone saw it, who wouldn't praise him for his sincerity and filial piety?

Mu Ci is not for fame, he just does what he should do as a son of man.Fortunately, the first emperor had a will long ago and asked for a simple execution, so he didn't directly take Mu Ci's life.

Even so, after the ceremony, he passed out directly in the imperial mausoleum. He was unconscious for three whole days, and then lingered on the sick bed. Until the enthronement ceremony yesterday, he couldn't get up.

Because most people are aware of the twists and turns of the succession, no one dares to accuse the king of Chu of disrespecting the new emperor.

Mu Zhan has already learned that Mu Ci will come to court today, and he is looking forward to it in his heart, but looking at Mu Ci's pale lower face, his heart aches again——such a weak body, why don't he rest for two more days, why bother to come to court ?

It's because today is the first big court meeting hosted by the third brother, don't you worry?

However, Mu Zhan believed that the ninth brother was worried that he would not be able to suppress him, rather than rushing to seize power.

……

Mu Ci was still shockingly beautiful, yet pitifully thin.

He stood upright, proud and calm, his eyes were dark and deep, as if they could hold the entire night sky and stars, his gaze was still the eternal peace that pierced everything, like a high god's mansion, compassionate and ruthless, looking down on the common people.

These eyes met the most powerful emperor in the world, showing no sign of weakness.

They have [-] to [-] similar faces, the same beauty, but one is rigid and clear, mature and elegant, and the other is flawless and pure, and the spirit is exquisite; one is as warm and bright as the early sun, and the other is as bright and clear as the bright moon.

……

Wang Youlun stood at the front of the civil servants, beside him was Grand Master Lu who had just recovered from a serious illness.The two exchanged a look secretly.This time Wang Youlun was defeated, he couldn't help lowering his voice and coughed twice.

Mu Ci's clear gaze turned to Wang Youlun: "Mr. Wang, the autumn fog is cool. Remember to drink two bowls of ginger soup when you get home. Don't catch a cold."

Wang Youlun: "..." May I remind you to salute when you meet a gentleman?

Mu Ci understood his uncle's meaning, and his eyes turned to Emperor Deguang who was sitting on the throne.

Emperor Deguang wore a dragon robe, the solemn and majestic bright yellow overwhelmed all the colors under the sky, making it impossible for people not to see him and feel awe; he wore a beaded crown on his head, but it covered his face and suppressed all emotions , unfathomable.

Yes, I have to salute.

No matter how the world changes, this young man is no longer the king of Luoyang, nor is he just the third brother.

He is the emperor.

He sits on a dragon chair, high above, and cannot look up to. Everyone must bend their straight spines in front of him, hang their noble heads, kneel on the ground, lower their upper body, bow down to the end, and submit to him.

He is Emperor Deguang, the Lord of the world.

Everyone looked nervously at King Chu—most people here have seen Mu Ci who was out of the cold palace for the first time. At that time, the young man grew up in the cold palace. Even the first emperor didn't bother to worship.

The same scene reappeared, and the sitting emperor was replaced by another person.

...History always has striking similarities.

Today, the attendant is not here, and no one kneels down on behalf of the King of Chu, so...Will the King of Chu...worship the new emperor?

……

Mu Zan didn't make a sound, looking at Mu Ci... the silence was unpredictable, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There are very few things in this world that Mu Ci cares about, so no matter how others look at him, his mood is calm, neither happy nor angry.

He will only go his own way and stick to his own principles.

Mu Ci was not here, but in front of everyone in the world, she pointed out that the late emperor had decreed that "the king of Chu should not kneel" to suppress the new emperor.

It was a wish of his father, fearing that he would be wronged, he accepted that kindness, but he didn't care much about it.

It doesn't matter.

Mu Ci has never thought that letting others kneel down can earn much face, for example, the braid Chao... is all about kneeling down to earn the face of a "big country", but the gate of the country is immediately broken. The insides are all ruined.

Mu Ci didn't think that she would lose face if she knelt down.

Mu Ci deposited all her emotions in her pure black eyes...

He looked calm, calm and elegant...

slowly...

bend your knees...

However, careful people will find that Mu Ci's seemingly very thin and slender back has always been... straight!

The author has something to say:

This is the second part of "Glory of Mercy in a Prosperous Age", which is the story of Ah Ci after he walked out of the palace.

The second part will have CP, sweet daily life, will be abused, but will definitely be happy.Continuing Aci's style of high IQ and EQ, make it cool!
