Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Mu Ci bent her knees...

This group of princes and nobles paid more attention to face, Mu Ci's gesture of surrender made the courtiers secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Although it doesn't feel humble at all.

Wang Youlun felt a little distressed - this nephew who never bowed his head to anyone was originally the one who sat on the top and was worshiped by others.

So aggrieved.

Wang Youlun could only tell himself over and over again—this is the right way.

Son, you have always been sensible, you chose to take the overall situation into consideration, and you don't want to bleed, so don't worry about the small details.

……

Wang Youlun was worried in vain, but Mu Ci didn't care, or even didn't care at all.

He didn't even bother to remind everyone to treat group amnesia - Emperor Tianshou had a last order "The king of Chu will not kneel when he sees the king".

He knew that everyone was watching—watching his attitude.

When Mu Ci resigned from the throne, he had already made an estimate for any situation, including the worst situation. Today this is just one of the very common situations.

……

Mu Ci's body is extremely weak, and just happened to have a serious illness. Because he had not recovered from the serious illness and lacked vitality, his body was weak when he landed on one knee, and he fell to the ground with a dull "Boom!" collision……

It wasn't a big noise, but for some reason, it seemed to be amplified ten million times, making everyone's heart skip a beat.

Mou Yu had been prepared for a long time, and quickly stepped forward to clasp Mu Ci's shoulders to prevent him from falling.

Emperor Deguang seemed to be awakened by the sound of "dong", and hurriedly shouted: "Don't kneel..." stood up and ran down from the throne, wanting to help the ninth brother.

Today he is the new king, and his heavy outfit can crush people to death, and he rushed all the way to wear jingle bells, which shocked the officials even more.The eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies hurriedly came to stop him—as an emperor, he must maintain his dignity at all times.

Emperor Deguang saw that he had become the focus of sight, and then remembered his current status, stopped quickly, and said to Mu Ci distressedly: "Ninth brother, get up, you are still ill, don't break it."

Then, facing the stunned, probing, contemptuous, or dissatisfied gazes of the officials, Mu Zhan straightened his back and pursed the corners of his mouth into a straight line, appearing more majestic.

Mu Zan looked around the group of officials and tried to sound calm: "Because the ninth brother is weak, he couldn't help but give a big gift. The late emperor's father allowed the ninth brother not to kneel when he sees the king. As a son of man, I must obey the late emperor's father's will. And as an elder brother, I should love my younger brother, I really can't bear it."

Mou Yu was also very cooperative, picked Mu Ci up from the ground, squatted down and checked the jade worn by Mu Ci's waist, and replied with a sigh of relief: "Brother, fortunately, the former emperor's natal jade was not touched. .”

Then he rubbed Mu Ci's knee carefully.

Everyone's eyes focused on Mu Ci, and they found that the jade pendant on his waist was the natal jade that the heavenly emperor never left.

Everyone realized that the first emperor really doted on his youngest son, and gave this piece of jade to his body. It is a matter of course that he would not kneel when he sees the king... Who can afford it?Others can't say that the King of Chu is unruly, and likewise, they won't think the emperor is weak and bully.

...Even if you can be bullied, if you are bullied by your own father, there is no place to redress your grievances.

Forget it, the King of Chu knelt down on one knee to save face... It really forced the King of Chu to kneel three times and kowtow nine times... To be honest, all the people present did not have the guts to do so.

Therefore, the incident of kneeling and worshiping, in the tacit understanding of everyone, was just like this.

Of course, there are also dissatisfaction. The royalists think that the king of Chu is still arrogant.But the old ministers who were close to the King of Chu felt that Emperor Deguang's honesty and loyalty were pretending.If you really don't want to make the King of Chu kneel, you should have said "don't kneel when you see the king", and it is called "exemption" after people kneel down... I am afraid that people will not see your thoughts?

Veteran ministers can see through, but King Chu, who is known for his wisdom, can't see through?

On the dragon chair, the clothes on Mu Zun's back were already drenched with cold sweat. He was worried that his younger brother would be angry with him, but he lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at Mu Ci.

Mu Zhan also had no choice.

Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers are different.

No matter how the throne came, today he is sitting on the dragon chair, he is the "lord", and the ninth younger brother has become a "subject".

On the first day of his enthronement, he was watched by all the people, civil and military officials, the people of the world, and the neighbors and eight countries...

Even if he privately wanted to avoid kneeling, but he is now the king of a country... Besides, Mu Zhan also wanted to know the attitude of the ninth brother towards him.

Fortunately, the ninth brother is sensible and considers the overall situation. Although he only kneels down halfway, it means that the ninth brother "submits himself".

——The ninth brother recognized his status as the king of a country in front of the people of the world, which made Mu Zhan feel that his position under his butt was finally secure, and he relaxed the tight string.

While feeling relaxed, the cartilage hidden in his heart was thrashing his heart again.

In the past few days, he has been busy with the funeral of the first emperor and the enthronement ceremony. Things are trivial and cannot tolerate any mistakes. Not to mention, he cannot get the key to the inner treasury without enthronement, and there is no money in the inner treasury account, not even the inner treasury. so that all disappeared.

Funerals and grand ceremonies are all waiting to be spent. Although it is simple, the "great country style" must not be lost-the late emperor must not be wronged, and his enthronement was also attended by neighbors and eight countries.

It made him burnt out, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Ninth brother was seriously ill, he wanted to see it, but he didn't have time to take a look. He was so anxious that he was scratching his head. In just over ten days, he had lost a lot of weight, and the custom-made dragon robes were all empty.

Yesterday's enthronement ceremony can be said to be the most glorious day in Mu Zhan's life. The ninth brother was in a coma and was absent.Today is his first pilgrimage to the throne, accepting the pilgrimage of Baiguan Jishou, he has been looking forward to the appearance of the ninth brother, feeling uneasy...

Is the ninth brother better?

Will you come today?

……

He didn't even think about letting Jiu Di kneel down on him. Jiu Di is such a proud person, bending down to anyone would make him feel bad.

Well, not only feel distressed, but also dare not.

He had planned it well, and he had rehearsed it countless times in his mind - if the ninth younger brother came, he would tell the late emperor's last order as soon as he saw him, so that the ninth younger brother would be excused.

But when he saw Mu Ci, and saw that handsome young man, walking with his head held high, he came gracefully...

Like moonlight, like starlight, so bright and flawless... But you can stretch out your hand to hold it, but you can't catch it...

Like the wind, like the flowing clouds, so gentle and willful... But you want to hug, but you always disappear without a trace...

This young man is calm and calm, calm and breezy, he doesn't care about anything.He is clearly standing in front of you, but you always feel that he will go beyond...

Those eyes, without light or dust, without waves or waves, are unfathomable. If you throw your most precious thing into it, even if you dig out your heart and throw it in... you will never hear that deep echo.

Mu Zhan felt that he was not an insignificant ant under the young man's feet, but just a speck of dust, a piece of nothingness...

He can't even look... can't see!

In the nightmare, the sentence "disappeared".

"not see!"

buzzing in my head...

——The former friendship is gone.

—I am nothing but a stranger to you.

Mu Zhan was in a daze and didn't speak. He wanted to see the reaction of the ninth brother.

Until Mu Ci knelt down towards him...that slender body, a small ball, bent his knees...his heart ached so much.

Do not! Do not!

You shouldn't have knelt down to me.

Mu Zhan couldn't help but glanced at Mu Ci.

--are you angry?It's fine for you to show even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, or even resentment.

——At least...you see me in your eyes.

but……

Mu Cifeng's eyes were warm, calm and calm, standing in the hall, but it seemed that everything around him had nothing to do with him, he was alone, let the time be disillusioned, without sadness or joy.

Although Mu Zhan despises the violence of Prince Mu En, he finally realized... the powerlessness and pain that no matter how much he begged, he couldn't get a single response.

Mu Zhan laughed at himself - probably who is the emperor is not important to this young man, right?

——Ninth brother, even if someone else is sitting on the dragon chair today, you don't care, right?

——I, can’t I make you care about it any more?

Mu Zhan was deeply shocked, he had a feeling of rehearsal for many years, staged a wonderful drama, but no one watched the loss, the excitement and ambition that made him enthroned disappeared.

……

But Mu Ci didn't care about Mu Zan, and he didn't even glance over, and bowed his hands to Lu Dingguo and other ministers who had guided him.

Mou Yu is a general, and because of his armor, he usually doesn't kneel. After saluting to Emperor Deguang in a hurry, he didn't delay for a moment, and he didn't plan to bear it any longer. The envoy Wei Zhong said: "Wei Zhong, Your Highness's coat is soaked through."

Mu Zhan's heart rose, and he ordered loudly: "Hurry up! Go to Nanxun Hall to get the spare king's clothes."

Brother Jiu is so weak, what if he catches a cold?

……

Wei Zhong didn't wait for Emperor Deguang's instructions at all, and he disappeared long ago. He ran to Nanxun Hall, a side hall of Chongzheng Hall, and took a white prince's uniform specially designed for the King of Chu.

Not only Nanxun Hall, there are three main halls in front of the palace, and each hall has two side halls on the left and right. The newly enthroned Emperor Deguang has already ordered that the right side hall is dedicated to the King of Chu.

This is the intention of Emperor Deguang. After all, he will sit with Mu Ci in the future, so he allocated half of the hall to Mu Ci, mainly to deal with some sudden situations, such as the ninth brother fainted in court, and This coat is wet today or something.

Censor Tongtong only pretended not to have discovered that the King of Chu had overstepped the rules. After all, the world belonged to the King of Chu, and now sitting together in the world...is a disadvantage.

……

Mu Zun is an elder brother and has a natural sense of responsibility for his younger brother. He couldn't help but chatter on the dragon seat: "Ninth Brother, why didn't you tell Third Brother earlier when your coat got wet?" "Are you feeling better? Do you want to rest for a few more days , why rush to the court early in the morning, tell the third brother at any time if you have something..."

Mu Ci responded with a few monosyllables casually, his gaze as cool as water.

After Mu Zhan said a few words, he silently silenced himself.

There is only the King of Chu in this world, so what if he can show the emperor's face, even if he kneels?To be honest, even if King Chu entered the palace crawling on all fours, no one dared to ride on him.

Soon Wei Zhong brought the clothes, and Mu Ci didn't avoid it, just stood on the hall and opened his hands...

Wei Zhong didn't look at Emperor Deguang's face, and directly changed his real master's coat.Although Wei finally has a job, he knows who to rely on for his future, and he is willing to serve the King of Chu.

Everyone: "..."

Although it is very pleasing to watch a beautiful woman change clothes (the appearance is crooked, there are underwear.) But this is the first grand meeting of the new emperor. Hey, it is equivalent to the opening ceremony of the new leader's Congress, okay?

Wang Youlun pressed his fist to his lips again, and coughed twice...

Who is Mu Ci?He doesn't care about anyone's eyes, let alone the cumbersome etiquette of nobles who "can't be disheveled in front of outsiders" blabla...—Sorry, Ala grew up in the cold palace, pure free-range, rice people teach Yes, dear, there is no way for bad reviews.

Everyone saw King Chu Anzhi Ruosu's posture, as calm and at ease in the court as in his own home, and they all realized it.

So what if you kneel down?

Everyone can understand that Daxing's real power, Daxing's future...is in whose hands.

look!The king of Chu dared to ignore the emperor.

Look again!Among the powerful princes in the entire court, which one would not give face to the King of Chu?The ministers in charge, from prime ministers to ministers, academicians and even Yushi Zhongcheng, are either "uncle" or "teacher".

Where is the military attache?The Sixth Army of Guards was already in Mu Ci's hands, and the Dingwang family also received a lot of favor from the King of Chu because of the assassination of King Ding.King Changshan, who had a high prestige in the northwest frontier army, was the late emperor's confidant, so he naturally leaned towards the King of Chu; Zhu Xi, the Privy Council in charge of military mobilization, was a noble and immovable decoration, and the actual power was controlled by the first confidant of the first emperor, Wei Zhong.

And what about Wei Zhong?After the saddle and the horse, wait for the king of Chu to change his clothes.

look again!There is also the righteous son of the first emperor, Duke Protector Mou Yu who brought thousands of elite guards selected from the imperial forest army to become the Chu king's guards, and also held the night guards, standing behind the Chu king, escorting him.

In addition, civil and military ministers of the third rank and above must obey the last emperor's will and hand over an excellent son, or rush to Chu Wangfu's chief official Dianyi, or follow Li Kang to go to Chu Wang as an official, and most of the officials, They were all tied to the chariot of the king of Chu.

It is said... the first emperor also moved the entire inner treasury to the Chu Palace.

Rich, powerful, armed, well-connected, famous, and prestigious...Emperor Deguang on the throne could not control so many resources.

The King of Chu is the real uncrowned emperor. If he wants to, he can easily depose Emperor Deguang.

The king of Chu is also beautiful, talented, resourceful, disciplined, broad-minded, bright and honest, brave and decisive, and has clear rewards and punishments.Resolutely want to be the idol of the whole people, the leader of the whole people to worship, admiration.

A winner in life.

No wonder the word "Ruo Que" is chosen, it's too perfect to be envied by heaven.
