Sheng Shi Merciful Light

For the eldest concubine Yang, Chaoyang is a married daughter and has no conflict with her.And because Chaoyang has a high status in King Ding's heart, and she is capable, and she is also the first woman in charge of the army since the founding of Daxing.The concubine Shizi has a good relationship with Chaoyang, which is a big help to the palace and her small family.

The concubine of the crown prince, Dayang, ordered someone to send meat and vegetables, and the person who came back was the servant of the crown prince Xian, who told the story: "The king of Chu put a charcoal fire pot."

Let's eat hot pot.

The young man saluted Huainan Wangfei again, and said: "My son said that today is not a coincidence. Because the prime minister is visiting, I will invite the Huainan king to talk about it some other day."

I just understand what I mean.

The concubine looked at her cousin full of apology: "What a coincidence..." There is no need to talk so clearly between the ladies, and the concubine Xiao Yang doesn't expect to have a relationship right away, anyway, she expressed her meaning, as My cousin and brother-in-law will definitely help.

These days, the family is the unit, and the in-laws and old friends support each other, hello and me, and working together to make the family better can make yourself live more confidently.

So Xiao Yang put down the gift and said goodbye.

……

Mu Ci looked at the mutton with red meat and white veins, and directed Mu Ruosong: "Cut off the leg of the lamb and let Qin Shan roast it, and chop the lamb chops and cook them in the pot." Through the steaming mist, he said to Wang Youlun, "Take the lamb with you in a while." The two will go back and let my aunt try something new, and when I have finished cooking here, I will go to visit my aunt."

Wang Youlun nodded: "The mutton is warm and tonic, your Highness can use some."

"Well, let's try it later." He asked Cang Yu, who was next to him covered with a silver mask, "Did Brother say you would come back for lunch?"

He said Mou Yu, and Mou Yu arrived, leading Le Shu and a young man in.

Le Shu still has a jade-like appearance, shooting stars in his eyes, elegant temperament, and his every move is pleasing to the eye.Seeing Mu Ci with a sincere smile, he silently saluted with his left hand clasped on his heart, and stood behind Mu Ci.Then he raised his eyes, glanced frankly at the masked Cang Yu, and nodded to him with a smile like a spring breeze.

Cang Yu was still exuding air-conditioning all over his body, without squinting, standing straight and not showing any signs.

Le Shu didn't care, the smile was still elegant.

Mu Ci didn't care about their eyebrow-eye lawsuits, and moved a little to Mu Ruosong's side, letting Mou Yu and Le Shu sit down and eat hot pot around the round table.

Mou Yu also asked the new boy to sit down, and only introduced to Mu Ci: "A Jing" and didn't say much.

Le Shu is superior in temperament, but this Ah Jing is exquisite and picturesque, with a pair of glass-colored fox eyes slightly lowered, revealing a calm and melancholy temperament.Not talkative, staring at the ingredients in the hot pot, not too curious about other people and things.

No one asked who this was.

Just when the soup in the hot pot boiled, Mou Yu picked up sliced ​​meat and rinsed it for Mu Ci, and everyone started eating.There are virtuous sons feasting, and often telling some anecdotes; there are a few children, such as Wang Ziguang and Mu Ruofeng, talking childishly, and the scene is lively.

Mu Ruosong also eats, but he mainly cooks vegetables for Mu Ci, mainly tofu and vegetables that are easy to digest.

Mu Ci just stood by and waited for food.

Le Shu took a look and saw that Mou Yu took the first chopstick and ate it by himself, and didn't take care of Mu Ci anymore.Le Shu was originally a very transparent person, but when he looked at the aura between Mu Ruosong and Mu Ci that did not allow another person to intervene, he kept this situation in his heart, and although he knew that he had the responsibility to take care of him, he did not rush to do it.

Wang Youlun's eyes were loving and compassionate, watching the younger generation eating and drinking, and having the fine wine contributed by the virtuous son, he just felt relaxed and happy, and also had a happy meal.

Not long after the roast leg of lamb was served, Mu Ci sniffed and expressed enjoyment.

Mu Ruosong subconsciously glanced at Mou Yu.Mou Yu took his own dagger and tore off the scorched skin, cut the tenderest thin slice and put it on Mu Ci's plate: "Taste it.".

Ah Jing stopped her chopsticks at this moment, and slightly raised her eyelids to look at Mu Ci.As if he didn't realize it, Mu Ci ate the roast lamb carefully, then put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll rest for a while, you guys continue to eat." He understood what Mou Yu meant, so he just tasted it and then gave up.

Seeing that Mu Ci has strong self-control, Ah Jing lowered her eyes and continued to eat.

Mu Ruosong put down his chopsticks, took a wet towel to wipe Mu Ci's mouth and hands, and then took the time to fill his stomach.

……

Because it was not the first time for everyone to eat together, we knew that Mu Ci had a weak spleen and stomach and couldn't eat more, and he had good self-control, although his eyes were fixed on the meat, he didn't move his chopsticks.It's just that he has a beautiful appearance and is very deceptive at a young age. Now he reveals this kind of "baby really wants to eat sugar, fears tooth decay and can't eat more"... so cute and pitiful that makes people's hearts soften to a mess.

It is rare for Mu Ci to have any emotional reaction, his pair of beautiful phoenix eyes are always calm and indifferent, and now everyone can see the covetousness in his eyes... Everyone understands that Mu Ci does not treat everyone as outsiders.

Such a beautiful child, and so well-behaved, makes people feel pain in the heart.What's more, a person with a strong nature like Mu Ci only occasionally reveals this kind of softness.

The first one who couldn't bear it was Mou Yu. The more he got to know Mu Ci, the more his heart softened. He didn't want him to suffer any grievances, so he touched Mu Ci's face, went all the way down to squeeze his shoulders, and then pinched Mu Ci's waist: "I'm a little fleshy, my body should be better."

Mu Ci didn't hide from being pinched, and let Mou Yu touch his limp, soft belly again, with a gesture of full trust.

Mou Yu's eyebrows warmed up, and he grabbed Mu Ci's hand and handed it to the young man behind him: "A Jing, take a closer look!"

Ah Jing followed Mu Ci's words, and used his slender fingers like a pianist to check Mu Ci's pulse, and then observed Mu Ci's complexion, and said: "The spleen and stomach are weak, so you should not be overly full, and you should not eat too much greasy barbecue meat, but eat a few slices of lean shabu-shabu meat." No problem."

As soon as the words fell, several pairs of chopsticks reached into the pot to scoop out a few slices of lean meat, and put them on Mu Ci's plate.There was also a fight with the chopstick heads, which made everyone look at each other... Except for Ah Jing, there was no shortage of a pair of chopsticks, and the children all had consciences.Everyone looked at each other and smiled, Qi Qi looked at Mu Ci.

eat it!good!

Mu Ci looked at the hot-boiled meat on the plate, looked up at everyone, and said sincerely: "Thank you!" Then she burst into an extremely gorgeous smile, her eyes bent into lovely crescent moons, and the spring was flowing, more stretched and brilliant than a hundred flowers in the wind.

Everyone staring blankly: "..."

Wang Youlun suddenly felt that the late Tianshoudi was pitiful, and he did not know how much effort he had made to win back his youngest son's heart.In fact... just let the youngest son Mu Ci eat meat, and it is easy to increase his friendliness.

The truth is always unbearable.

……

Mu Ci was comfortable outside the palace.

Mu Zun was in dire straits in the palace, with his ninth younger brother on one side and his mother-in-law on the other. He also offended his beloved cousin Xie Yuhua completely because of the establishment of Empress Mei, and made his two sons trouble him every day. The cake is made to be tormented in several places, and the inside must be as bitter as it is.

Originally, he was approaching middle age, and his stomach was slightly convex after being pampered and pampered for many years, but now it is also sunken, losing fat, and he is visibly thinner.

When he went to the court, he saw the empty king's chair of the king of Chu, and worried that the ninth brother would not see him again.Prince Xian is very naughty. Since King Ding woke up, he has been saying that he wants to serve the sick, and he refuses to be a representative to hold a court meeting.

(I have to get up early in the morning, the hall is a bit noisy, can't I sleep soundly-.-)

So much so that Mu Zhan didn't even have anyone to ask about the situation.

Although the courtiers were not young, they could see that Emperor Deguang was absent-minded, and their eyes frequently fell on the king's chair of Chu...

Fortunately, Emperor Deguang always had a paralyzed face, and was silent most of the time, which did not affect the court meeting. The ministers were all experienced in political affairs, and they discussed and settled the matter. If they asked the emperor for instructions, they were rarely rejected. That's how the meeting ended.

After coming down to court, Wang Youlun asked for an interview and was summoned immediately.

Mu Zhan knew that he was the uncle of the ninth brother, and he was touched by the gift of money from the ninth brother. He loved the house and Wu, and felt that this prime minister who was said by his mother and concubine as "a traitor who seems loyal and has a different ambition" is very close to him now.

Wang Youlun was also the prime minister appointed by the late emperor. This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. The late emperor's cats and dogs are all noble. The so-called "three years without changing the way of the father", if you don't catch this prime minister's big handle, don't even think about touching him .

After Wang Youlun saw the ceremony, he put aside political affairs and asked, "Is your majesty unwell? Or tired? I see that you have lost a lot of weight recently."

Wang Youlun really has the attributes of an "old lady".

Even a minister knew that he cared about him, Mu Zhan was moved, and Wang Youlun was more pleasing to the eye.Thinking of his mother, siblings, concubine, and son who are not resting in his family, he sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I'm a little concerned about my ninth brother. Has Aiqing seen my ninth brother? How is his health?"

Wang Youlun is the uncle of the king of Chu, so he can't avoid suspicion even if he wants to avoid it.Moreover, he is really an "old mother" in private, and he likes to care about these juniors. He has visited Mu Ci many times in the past few days, sometimes twice a day, and he can get meals every day. They all took out a lot of food such as "Wang Ye's Nephew Brand Warm Stir-fried Vegetables and BBQ".

So Wang Youlun replied with a smile: "The minister just visited yesterday. His Highness can eat and sleep. He has grown flesh, and his face has a little color. He is more energetic. He also ate several slices of boiled mutton yesterday. He is very happy."

"Oh, it's good if you can eat meat." This means that the ninth brother's spleen and stomach have improved. Mu Zan is happy that the ninth brother has grown meat, but also sad that the ninth brother is so happy because he left the palace.

"Your Highness wanted to eat roasted mutton, but he couldn't eat more because of his weak spleen and stomach, but the hot-boiled meat is no problem. Everyone gave him some meat, and he smiled happily." Wang Youlun had never seen Mu Ci so stretched. With a smile, he couldn't help but follow his brows and eyes.

Mu Zhan liked to listen to the trivial things about the ninth brother, and when he listened to it, a smile appeared on his face, his eyes shone brightly, and he was very happy.

Wang Youlun was born in a humble family and climbed up from the bottom step by step. He is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing that His Majesty is really happy, and that his concern for his younger brother does not seem to be fake, he asked politely: "Your Majesty, Your Highness seems to have some misunderstandings about you... ?”

More than a misunderstanding?Because Wang Youlun knew everything, Mu Zhan didn't hide anything, and covered his face and said, "Because I exposed Prince Bao in court... After all, I betrayed the ninth brother. The ninth brother has always hated me and refused to see me."

It's not a formal occasion, but it's also facing the important officials who rely on him. When he is old enough to be his elder, he still talks about private affairs. In order to show his closeness, Mu Zhan sometimes calls himself "I" instead of "Zhen".

Most fortunate emperors are like this, because they respect courtiers and mean that they are as equal as possible to courtiers.Also because the heart is strong enough, there is no need to deliberately emphasize a self-proclaimed identity.

Wang Youlun knew all the grievances, and thought that Your Majesty, you really did not behave properly. How could you use your little brother's scar to uncover the prince in order to bring down the crown prince? If I were the King of Chu, I would not forgive you.The king of Chu just ignored him, but he didn't hold any grudges because of it, and let the first emperor change his mind to make you the crown prince, which is already considered good-tempered and extremely sensible.

However, one of these two brothers is now the emperor, and the other is a powerful prince. If the two do not get along for a long time, it will cause turmoil.As the prime minister, he has the unshirkable responsibility to maintain the long-term stability of the country.

Wang Youlun wanted to be a peacemaker, and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Chu was already deeply hurt. It is understandable for you to... let him be hurt again. In other words, it is also because he cares about the relationship with you." Your brotherhood is the reason for your complaints. Your Majesty...Since you want to reconcile, you must let His Highness see your sincerity."

If it hadn't been for seeing the king of Chu return half of the money in the former emperor's internal treasury to Emperor Deguang, the two brothers still had some emotional foundation, otherwise Wang Youlun would not have dared to go to the emperor to be this peacemaker.

And he remembered that Mu Ci never planned to go against this one, and still aimed at "brothers of one heart".

His prince's nephew is stubborn, arrogant and self-willed, even the previous emperors could not do anything about him, but he is also a person who values ​​affection and understands righteousness.

"I'll give it, I'll give it!" Mu Zhan hurriedly confessed in front of Uncle Chu Wang, "Ninth brother can call me whatever he wants, and the throne can also be given to him, really."

Only when he sat on it did he realize that the emperor's throne looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact... he really doesn't miss this sad day.Now take the initiative to push it away, and the chance of saving your life is relatively high.

However, Wang Youlun said seriously: "Your Majesty, be careful, the throne is not a joke. You are the crown prince who was established by the late emperor, the real dragon emperor bestowed by the heavenly gods, and the rightful ruler of the country. If I say something to my heart, this throne is not a vegetable market." booth, let’s let it go.”

"I would like to be taught!" Mu Yan said seriously, but he thought in his heart: You are all wrong, the ninth brother is the true dragon in the sky.Of course, he didn't say anything about the weird purple-haired old man and Tianlong descending to earth.

Wang Youlun saw that Emperor Deguang's temperament was really good, and it seemed that the succession had not been easy these days, so he sighed: "Since Your Majesty wants to fix it, I should try my best to make peace with His Highness King Chu, but ...To say something disrespectful, His Highness is a human being, he holds grudges a little..."

Mu Zunkuang nodded, he felt the same way, where is "slightly"?It's just too vengeful, right?

"If His Majesty is against each other again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Majesty to change his mind in this life." Wang Youlun began to take vaccinations. To be honest, as the uncle of his distressed nephew, he did not want his nephew to be used and bullied all the time.It's not his nephew's fault that he's good-looking, smart, and so outstanding.

"No, I, Mu Zan, swear that I will never lose my ninth brother again in this life. Otherwise, all my relatives will be separated and die a good death. After death, I will go to the [-]th floor of hell and never be reborn forever." Mu Zan solemnly raised his fingers and swore.

These days people believe in oaths and curses, Wang Youlun was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Why should this be so, Your Majesty be careful, Your Majesty be careful!"

Mu Zhan is serious, at least at this moment in his heart, he is very serious about keeping this oath.

The two formulated a strategy to tell the king of Chu to change his mind and continue the good policy of the two brothers, and Wang Youlun began to discuss politics.

The prime minister is responsible for managing military plans or other important affairs, and assists the emperor in handling state affairs.Whenever there is an important matter, the emperor summons the ministers and important ministers to discuss together in front of the imperial court to avoid arbitrariness.General government affairs can be implemented by the prime minister's decision.

The prime minister has great power, but correspondingly, the task is very heavy.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Meng Xian did not give up and appointed ministers as prime ministers, but the ministers were too young to be convincing, and they were also afraid that they would disappoint His Majesty's expectations and miss my fortune. Thousands of people. Now that the grand master is old, the court cannot be without a person of high morals In charge, the former Prime Minister of the Right, Zhao Wuyong, Zhao Jiu, and Ding You, are satisfied and can be restored. Mr. Zhao was once your teacher of Confucianism and History. He was conscientious, cautious and talented, and was highly appreciated by the late emperor. Please call him back to the court and appoint him as the Prime Minister of the Left. .” After Wang Youlun finished speaking, he bowed respectfully.

One of the duties of the prime minister is to appoint officials or recommend talents to the emperor.

Mu Zhan was a little taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Youlun to have such a proposal.

Mu Zunxu helped Wang Youlun up, held back his surging heart, and was so moved that he almost choked up. With great difficulty, he said in a normal voice: "I know that the prime minister is dedicated to serving the public, but Mr. Zhao is old..." After that, he couldn't speak come out……

Wang Youlun looked at Emperor Deguang very seriously, and said, "Your Majesty, please call Zhao Xianggong back to the court."

Mu Zhan's eyes turned red instantly. He thought a lot, thinking that not only the ninth brother, but also the uncle of the ninth brother is also a good person. He is dedicated to the public and has a broad mind.

Zuo Weizun, Wang Youlun took most of the rights he got, and handed them back to Mu Zan again, asking Mu Zan to appoint his own direct descendant—his teacher Zhao Jiu.

These days, the status of teachers and students has been established, just like the relationship between father and son, it is very strong.

When Mu Zhan thought of his mother, siblings and siblings around him, each of them had a petty heart, and everyone talked about money, he was almost shaken by saying that he wanted to separate from his ninth brother.Dreaming back in the middle of the night, even dreaming of being kicked out of the altar by the ninth younger brother, and killed by the ninth younger brother with a blank face, just like he killed the violent prince...

That dream was the burning of blood and fire, the pain of being torn apart, the ashes of being betrayed...I still have lingering fears.

But thinking about it now, he...was a villain in vain.

Ninth Brother and the people around him are so kind, they will never betray him.

will not!

Mu Zhan then praised sincerely: "Aiqing is dedicated to the public and is my minister of the humerus. I am relieved that you are the prime minister. Don't mention the matter of appointing the prime minister Zuo again."

Wang Youlun's decision was also carefully considered, and he was also well versed in the way of balance, so he persuaded: "I have too little experience and limited energy in major national affairs, please Your Majesty appoint another virtuous minister as Prime Minister Zuo, Zhao Jiuyuan Even the prime minister has a public heart, and it will be more beneficial to the country and the people to have him in the political affairs hall, please consider carefully, Your Majesty."

Mu Zun was willing in his heart, but he couldn't show joy, so he had to say: "Let me think about it."

Then the monarch and his ministers discussed other matters in a harmonious atmosphere without mentioning them.
