Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Emperor Tianshou was sitting alone in front of the desk in the Chuigong Hall, holding a copy of the latest residence newspaper, but he didn't read it at all, and had been in a daze for a long time.The fortunate emperor has always been diligent, and so is the Tianshoudi.This kind of situation of sitting for almost half an hour, just sitting there, ignoring political affairs and courtiers not seeing, not even reviewing the memorial... only happened once when Concubine Xie Chen died in the cold palace.

What followed was the "zero tolerance" of Emperor Tianshou for three years.None of the eunuchs or servants dared to speak out to remind the Tianshou Emperor to manage the government. The Tianshou Emperor had a lot of prestige, and the vertical arch hall was extremely quiet.

After a long time, there was a little commotion outside the hall, which alarmed the Emperor Tianshou.Wei Zhong broke out in a cold sweat and hurried out. After a while, the outside became quiet again.

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked Wei Zhong.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the envoy of the Hall of Renming." The Hall of Renming is the queen's bedroom.

"What is he doing here?"

Wei Zhong sensed the emperor's anger, and said carefully, "The empress is seriously ill, and she hasn't had a drop of water for two days..."

Emperor Tianshou swept all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk to the ground, full of anger.He had just run into a wall with his youngest son, and now he really came out with a threat of death.His youngest son was really not afraid of death, but Empress Zheng didn't really want to die, so he cried and made trouble and hanged himself.

It's a pity that this woman has been by his side for so long, but she doesn't understand his temperament.

——If you really want to die, I might not let you die!

Emperor Tianshou took a deep breath for a long time before he smiled sarcastically and said: "Since you can't eat, don't force it. Tell me to prepare for the empress's funeral. Call the prince and let him take good care of his mother for the last few days. Tell her to see it too." She doesn't ask right or wrong, she only knows how to protect her, and she has raised such a 'good' son."

"Yes!" Wei finally responded.

The servants and attendants in the palace were all terrified when they heard the meaning of these words, but they did not doubt the authenticity—No matter how benevolent and gentle the Emperor Tianshou pretended to be, those who could serve him close were all confidantes, and they all knew that the emperor could be ruthless. How cruel.

Emperor Tianshou wanted to rub the center of his eyebrows, but found that he was still holding the silk mansion newspaper in his hand, and handed it to Wei Zhong: "Just print it like this, and send this one to Jiulang."

"Yes!"

"Where is Linyuan?"

Wei Zhong said: "General, it's time again, go to Chonghua Palace to serve."

"Oh," Emperor Tianshou rubbed the center of his brows, "He has always been devoted to his duties, and he will come here when he is done... Everyone else, go out and wait."

The servants and officials in the servants all breathed a sigh of relief, and filed out one after another. They didn't even dare to stay in the housekeeper who was responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds.

Anyway, he has to write down this sum every day, and he is very used to it.

Mou Yu cleaned up the dirt again for Mu Ci, changed his clothes and pants, observed the changed things, and comforted him: "Your Highness, the bleeding will be less, and it will get better."

Mu Ci thanked softly.

Mu Ci said: "Thank you...and...just now."

Mou Yu knew, thanks to his previous reminder.

Every time, Mu Ci never forgets to say this thank you, no matter how hard-hearted Mou Yu is, such a young man in a miserable situation, yet so beautiful and polite, is always easy to arouse people's pity Heart.

Mou Yu hesitated for a moment, then said: "I shouldn't have asked, but...Your Highness, outside the palace may not be better than inside the palace. Don't always confront Your Majesty, if you can live...it's better to be alive."

"Did you hear what I said outside?" Mu Ci asked.

"Yes."

"Everyone has the instinct to survive, but there are many ways to survive. If I am not really 'alive', breathing freely... Life and death are the same for me. Besides, in this deep palace, I myself have the least say in my own life, and I really don’t think there is any good in staying in the palace.” Mu Ci said, his words were obviously sarcastic, but his tone was still indifferent, without the slightest sarcasm, like It's talking about other people's business.

"It's not easy to go out of the palace." Mou Yu said.

"I know, I'm just asking..." Mu Ci said indifferently.

Mou Yu: "..." That "ask" is really hot.

He was silent for a while, scanning left and right, even though the others were his subordinates and the distance was far away, he was sure that no one could hear what he whispered.He stretched out his hand to grab Mu Ci's shoulder again, squeezed it, and said in a very small voice: "You just need to follow along a little bit, Your Majesty will love you, after all, you are Chen..."

"Hmm..." Mu Ci suddenly snorted, although there was still no pain on his face, but his body curled up slightly...

"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" Mou Yu hurriedly let go because he pinched the person in pain.

Mu Ci didn't answer.

Mou Yu's unspoken words were interrupted, and he stopped talking.

Be careful about saying anything in the palace, you can say things to persuade Mu Ci to have a better attitude, but you can't say things that are not spoken in the second half, which reveal the emperor's certain preferences and tendencies.

Mou Yu looked at Mu Ci with a hint of inquiry in his eyes - this young man was too tolerant, he had never groaned in pain, the timing of that groan was very subtle, was it unintentional or intentional?

He never believed in coincidences.

Mou Yu suppressed his doubts and changed the topic of safety: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has been in a bad mood for the past two days, be careful, don't push it all the way, it's not good for you." Even if you can't obey and insist on telling the truth, you can Don't be so blunt...just stab the knife wherever it hurts.

Mu Ci, however, was still calm: "Thank you for reminding me, I appreciate it, but although I can't control my own life, how should I speak, what kind of sound should I make... I can still have my own will."

If you go against your will, it is better to be silent.

Mou Yu could only sigh, and finally felt a little bit of the helplessness, helplessness, and powerlessness of Emperor Tianshou.

Although the young man's body was soft and fragile, and his tone was flat and seldom angry, he found that there was a sharp-edged soul inside the young man, but the sharp edges were well hidden by him under the calm appearance.

If someone reaches out and touches the bottom line, he can feel the hardness of these sharp edges and corners.

If you press down hard, not only will it hurt him, but both sides will be stabbed.

Extremely soft!Extremely hard!

Very soft!Extremely sharp!

The completely opposite traits are integrated into this boy as a matter of course... It's really amazing, it makes this boy have a unique attraction, the closer you get, the easier it is to be attracted and fall into it.

There was a call from an eunuch outside, and Mou Yu knew that he was just a young man who said that "the life in the deep palace cannot be completely controlled by him", and there was really limited help for the little prince, so he didn't confess anything. Don't make promises that you can't even promise to keep.

He rubbed Mu Ci's head and smoothed his loose black hair, then withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, I heard rustling noises, and when I turned around, I saw the child He Shun pouring the medicinal juice from the vase under the tree roots with a bitter face.

isn't it...

Previous medicine?

……

Because Emperor Tianshou called urgently, and Chonghua Palace was nearby, Mou Yu couldn't delay, so he had no choice but to control the urge to rush back to beat someone for a PP, and then pour ten bowls of medicine, trying to maintain a well-trained cold expression, go See the emperor.

Emperor Tianshou first asked, "How is Jiulang?"

"I just changed my clothes and pants, and I seem to be tired and lack energy." Mou Yu said.

Emperor Tianshou felt distressed for a while: "I heard that he seldom eats and drinks in order not to get dirty on his body, so how can his body bear it?" Of course, he trusted Mou Yu's character and knew that it was definitely not that Mou Yu was not allowed to do less dirty work. The child eats and drinks, it should be that the child does not want to eat.

"Your subordinates have tried to persuade you, but His Highness has no appetite." Mou Yu said.

"You... think of a way, it won't work if you continue like this, he's too thin." Emperor Tianshou was worried, for such a weak body would refuse to eat again, just afraid...

Mou Yu responded, thinking in his heart: Shall we tell His Majesty that the boy who was more stubborn than a rock actually poured out the medicine and didn't drink it?

I was also afraid that the young man would offend His Majesty and have no good fruit to eat, and maybe the two father and son would fight again.But if he did not report the knowledge, the emperor would hold him accountable for the concealment; let alone say that he did not know, that would be dereliction of duty.

It is risky for him to hide it.

After careful consideration, Mou Yu finally decided to take the risk and hide it for the time being.

Emperor Tianshou didn't know Xiao Jiujiu who was always [-]% loyal to his confidants and subordinates, so he just asked: "Linyuan, you monitor all the officials, Chu Wuman, Yang Hongjie, and Zheng Weiqing, is there anything wrong?"

Speaking of Mou Yu's supervisory officials, we must first talk about a hidden department under the jurisdiction of Mou Yu-Ye Xingwei.

The 8000 Royal Forest Army of the Taixing Emperors in the past was divided into five guards, namely the Habayashi Guard, the Dragon Knight Guard, the Huben Guard, the Shengong Guard and the Xuanyi Guard, a total of [-] people.In the hands of Emperor Tianshou, he also created an independent sixth guard, Night Walking Guard, which was separated from the five guards and was not recorded in the files. The personnel and system surpassed the establishment.

The personnel of the Night Walking Guard are all confidential, and they all have a formal identity outside, maybe they are the children of a high-ranking official, or they may be a street picker.

Usually they don't show their mountains and dews, but when they receive tasks and when necessary, they are responsible for infiltrating into every corner of the country through the channels and forces they have established, and are responsible for monitoring the clan, hundreds of officials, famous people in various places, and even ordinary people. common people.

The tentacles also extended to neighboring countries, becoming cross-spies, collecting intelligence for the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the emperor to make decisions on the deployment of the Imperial Army.

The Night Walking Guards had been established at the border as early as Emperor Tianshou was young, and by the time of the "Five Kings' Rebellion", the Night Walking Guards had already developed, and their contribution was indispensable when they seized the throne.Later, in order to consolidate the somewhat unjustifiable throne, the Tianshou Emperor expanded the number of night guards, and the Tianshou Emperor's capital was clear based on domestic and foreign trends.

Although the courtier Xungui vaguely knew of the existence of the Night Walker Guard, he was criticized a lot, but Emperor Tianshou unanimously denied that there was such an organization. Moreover, although the Night Walker Guard internally supervised the officials and the people and collected information from neighboring countries, they were generally only responsible for investigation and records. Then file the information, and the commander of the Night Walking Guard sorted it out for the Emperor Tianshou to check.

Ye Xingwei never showed up in front of people, never arrested people for interrogation, and acted in a low-key manner, even without being noticed by others, so he didn't cause any big disturbances like Chaodongchang and Xichang.

The current commander of Ye Xingwei is Mou Yu.

Mou Yu followed the emperor every day and knew the purpose of the question, so he replied: "Prime Minister Chu was born as a concubine but disrespected his mother; He bloodily suppressed him and lied about the soldiers' rebellion; Uncle Zheng Guo often asked his wife to send things into the palace privately." In fact, Ye Xingwei had already recorded these issues in the emperor's records.

But the emperor likes you, as long as you don't quarrel to the public, no matter how big the problem is, once the emperor thinks about you, all these will be found out, and you will be charged with ready-made crimes.

Emperor Tianshou asked again: "Where are they and the East Palace?"

Mou Yu replied neutrally: "Prime Minister Chu is the teacher of the Eastern Palace. He usually teaches the prince and advises the prince to behave. Because of this, he got angry several times."

"Incompetent!" Emperor Tianshou commented.

"Yang Taiwei raised private soldiers in another courtyard. His subordinates reported it, but recently they found that the number had increased to [-], and the son of Uncle Zheng Guo's nurse sent a large amount of money to buy food, and... Mrs. Wei intercepted [-] strong crossbows privately from a small workshop under the Military Weapons Supervision, and I don't know what he intends to do."

"National traitor!" Emperor Tianshou gritted his teeth.

Mou Yu continued to report professionally: "Uncle Guo once sent something suspected of 'hook kiss' into the palace. Because of the Queen's obstruction, the humble official did not get a confirmation, so I dare not report it at will."

"Execute!" The hand of Emperor Tianshou began to tremble.Although he is used to doing such secret things, he hates others doing it to him the most.

Mou Yu lowered his eyes, he couldn't see the emperor's old state, and couldn't bear it.

At the age of 16, Mou Yu broke his family due to the war and was rescued by the Emperor Tianshou, so he surrendered. Because he had nothing to worry about, he was alone, with a clean background, talent for martial arts, and strong ability. position today.

The trust between the two has been intact for more than ten years, even between father and son, it is very rare.He and Tian Shudi are not only ministers, but also like fathers and sons.

At least he respected and cherished Tianshoudi as his father.

Emperor Tianshou had reason to be angry. Anyone would be angry if he was betrayed by his own son.He is dissatisfied with Prime Minister Chu's ability, but he still believes in his character, otherwise he would not be named as the prince's teacher; but Yang Bo and Zheng Tong... one raises [-] private soldiers and secretly intercepts weapons. For whom, who do you want to deal with?But Zheng Tong actually dared to send poison into the palace, was it to poison Xiao Jiulang in the cold palace, or to... poison him?

What was found was 'hook kiss', maybe there were other poisons in it before... Emperor Tianshou remembered what Jiulang once said: Maybe your body is deteriorating, not destiny, but man-made!

What a terrifying perception! ! !

The Emperor Tianshou couldn't bear to hurt the prince, just now he had the cheek to beg for favors from the youngest son... But what the prince did in private disappointed him too much.

It's fine if you don't love your younger brother, how can you treat him as a father?

It is impossible for the Crown Prince to be ignorant of what Yang Bo and Zheng Tong are doing, but he still did it... It is almost as if he is a "thief" who is "old but not dead", is he planning...?

Fortunately, fortunately, Saburo reported on the prince, which made him alert, otherwise...

It took a long time for Emperor Tianshou to calm down, retracted his trembling hands into his sleeves, and said: "I will wipe out those 2 people..." After thinking about it, he suddenly sneered, "Wait, don't move yet, Don't startle them, let me keep an eye on them, and let me see what else they can come up with."

Mou Yu should be.

Emperor Tianshou was relieved, nodded and said: "You don't need to go out of the palace for such a small matter. Tianshu, Tianji and Qiye envoys will do the errands outside. Jiulang's side is the most important. Take good care of him and let him eat. You ... Work harder, I miss your kindness."

Mou Yu said: "Your Majesty speaks seriously, this is what your subordinates should do."

"Okay, let's do it."

Mou Yuying resigned from his work, went to the secret archives of Ye Xingwei to dig through the files in person, collected black materials, put them in a locked box and sent them to the emperor.The emperor has the key to the lock.

He went to Chonghua Palace again, thinking about how to get Mu Ci to take medicine.Well, it's almost time for lunch, let Mu Ci eat more...

But before Mou Yu reached the Chonghua Palace, he was stopped by his deputy, He Qiujun, the left commander of the Yulin Army.

"Maoshi, something serious happened?" The focus of Mou Yu's official duties was to personally protect the emperor and the night guards, and He Qiujun and Yi Qing usually let the two leaders of the Forbidden Palace handle it by themselves.

"It's... Donggong..." He Qiujun hesitated.

What a big deal.

Mou Yu took a deep breath: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty asked for responsibility and replaced the former guards of the East Palace, and ordered the crown prince... These two days, Commander Yi and I took turns guarding the East Palace, but just now..." He Qiujun felt that it was difficult, and he said, "Commander Yi has already led the people personally. The Eastern Palace has been strictly prohibited, you...you should go and see for yourself."

Mou Yu knew that it would be a big deal for the two commanders on the left and right to face the enemy.

What did the prince do again?

Don't tell him he's the legendary master of death...
