Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Wei Zhong did a really good job. Not only did he show great power to Emperor Deguang, he gave most of his reputation to the emperor, and it also greatly satisfied this "brother control" who wanted to take good care of his younger brother.So it was very smooth for Emperor Deguang to take the initiative to take over the matter.

Of course, Wei Zhong was not very worried that the emperor would have too many twists and turns in doing this.Wei Zhong watched Mu Ci's rise, and he admired his mental skills, knowing that Mu Ci must have a follow-up move waiting for him.

After finishing the business, Mu Zhan asked concerned: "How is the ninth brother's health? Can the remaining poison be cleared? Is his appetite still the same as before? Did he eat more? He is too thin, so it makes people worry..."

Wei finally felt a strong sense of concern, and answered one by one with a little more sincerity: "Your Highness is fine, and the remaining poison has been cleared. Although His Highness is thin, he is in good spirits, his appetite has improved a lot, and the medicinal diet is also good." I’m willing to eat a little.” The main reason is that Le Jing’s medical skills are good at recuperating, and the herbal food he cooks is better than Cui Yuanshi’s.

Emperor Deguang felt very relieved: "I just hope that my ninth brother can take care of his body better and be safe from now on." He then asked tactfully, "I heard that my ninth brother only chooses veterans to serve in the mansion, and they are all rough men. ...does the Palace of the Prince of Chu look clean?"

Wei Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, most of the veterans are employed by the entire household, and there is no shortage of mothers-in-law and young ladies who wash and mend."

Emperor Deguang nodded, but he just had nothing to say, but he wanted to ask something else, so he hesitated before asking: "I heard that Ninth Brother was checking the file of the imperial army's payment recently, but now he suddenly asked Jianying Temple... this is a bit sudden, did Brother Nine say anything else?"

Don't get me wrong, Emperor Deguang didn't let anyone investigate Mu Ci's daily activities, he just got his nod by taking the files from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs.In addition, his mother Concubine Xie "calls for dinner" every day, and his young wife Concubine Xie Xian often "blown pillow wind", so Emperor Deguang knew that the ninth brother planned to move the unspoken rules of the Forbidden Army.

Emperor Deguang knew that his ninth younger brother was selfless, and once he decided that eight horses could not be pulled back, he was a little worried and asked Wei Zhong—whether his ninth younger brother really wanted to make an enemy of the entire imperial army system?

He was definitely just concerned, intending to try to persuade him, but if he couldn't persuade him, he would definitely help the ninth younger brother out of the thunder—he had to protect his ninth younger brother.

But Wei finally didn't know King Chu's plan, he just said vaguely: "Your Highness didn't say anything, I didn't look like a bad thing, I boldly speculated, maybe His Highness is benevolent, seeing the impoverished life of the imperial army, moved his heart , wanting to elevate the status of the imperial guards, it is unknown to pay more money.”

When you say this, other people don't know whether they believe it or not. Anyway, Wei Zhong himself believes it. The small eyes are so sincere.

Emperor Deguang: "..."

……

Emperor Deguang reached a tacit agreement with the king of Chu, and submitted the memorial of the king of Chu to the court for resolution.Because the king of Chu was sick and did not go to court, Wei Zhong explained the meaning of repairing the martyr's temple and setting the country's memorial day.

At the court meeting, a single stone stirred up thousands of waves. Since ancient times, only literati and military generals have the merits of following the dragon, or have the opportunity to enjoy the Taimiao and be worshiped by the emperor after death, leaving a name in history.

Moreover, there are few generals who can enjoy this honor. If the credit is slightly greater, they will be suspected of being the master of the earthquake, and they can reach the level of enshrining the Taimiao... Obviously, the end will not be too good.

Therefore, generally only literati can enjoy the sacrifices in the Taimiao, and there are not many people. Fortunately, in the century since the founding of the country, apart from the various kings who accompanied the great ancestor to fight the world, only six civil servants have enjoyed the Taimiao.

What is this concept?What kind of difficulty is this?

Ha, the king of Chu is lucky. When he opened his mouth, he only built a martyr's shrine for the generals to enjoy the national sacrifice. Even ordinary soldiers can erect monuments and inscribe their names after their sacrifices, leaving traces in history.

——Military officers who had been suppressed by literati for thousands of years suddenly turned over.

This is not allowed, the king of Chu is too messy, who is going to popularize some common sense for him?

The question is, who dares?

Everyone didn't count on Bai Lin, He Qiujun and a few grinning generals of the Chu royal family (the king of Chu didn't come, and Mou Yu didn't go to court), and everyone looked at Wang Youlun in unison.

You are a civil servant, just say a word, don't pretend to be dead!

Wang Youlun wanted to cry. A few days ago, when he heard that the King of Chu was going to move the unspoken rules of the Imperial Army, he went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to look at it. As expected, he saw Mu Ci's work and seriousness. It was obvious that there was a big move, so he couldn't help but look at it. The King of Chu has popularized a little common sense...

Well, after a few more words, he was "rejected" again.

Mu Ci said that he was welcoming Uncle, and held a family banquet without discussing state affairs.If talking about state affairs, he will discuss with Prime Minister Wang through formal channels.

Therefore, Wang Youlun was powerless at all, he didn't even have a chance to admonish his wayward nephew and future son-in-law.

Everyone: "..."

Well, to be honest, the king of Chu moved the unspoken rules of the forbidden army, and most of the civil servants had nothing to do with themselves.Except for a few officials of the political affairs hall who really respect and love the King of Chu, most of the other civil servants have been tortured by the King of Chu, and they are all ready to watch a joke.

A few days ago, everyone heard that Wang Youlun was rejected by the King of Chu, and he gloated about his misfortune for several days.

As a result, the retribution came quickly. The king of Chu had a convulsion, and he built a heroic hall, and all the civil servants were unlucky.Everyone has to cry.

Wang Youlun couldn't count on it, and everyone looked at Emperor Deguang again.

Emperor Deguang had a serious face, his eyes were unpredictable, and he said in a deep voice: "The king of Chu always puts the overall situation first, and many of the suggestions he put forward are not harmful to the country and the people. , Let’s discuss the last discussion, debate the last debate. As the saying goes, ‘If the light is not turned on, it will not be on, and the reason will not be clear if you do not argue’, you should not completely veto it because of private letters.”

When Emperor Deguang said these words, he had already expressed his attitude, and it was just like what he had heard - Emperor Deguang did not object.

So, the military officer was happy, and the civil servant was crazy.

The reasoning of civil servants can only be explained from etiquette to tradition, from "soldiers with fierce weapons" to "warriors with high achievements". After all, Pianwei is not ignorant. He has already checked all the information for today. , so eloquent lotus in the court.

One said that offering sacrifices to meritorious ministers was originally a kind of etiquette system, and they cited ancient rituals to prove it; they also said that traditions cannot be stuck to, and should be changed if they are not suitable.Besides, "soldiers with murderous weapons" are not "military warlords". Didn't the joint invasion of the four neighboring countries 11 years ago mean that the generals and soldiers fought back?It is even said that "I am afraid that the generals will be domineering, and their achievements will shock the master", so there is an ancestral hall, which seems to be a bridle, so that the generals will be afraid of the reputation behind them, and they will be loyal to the king.

There should also be a reason for the generals to be sacrificed. After all, everyone shed blood and sweat to keep the prosperity and peace, otherwise Beirong and Xiliang would have gone south long ago.

The civil servants objected, but in fact, their selfishness was more than the public one. For the sake of their own interests, they protested very hard, and there were endless reasons.

Some civil servants think that Beirong and Xiliang are just ringworm and scabies, which are irrelevant, and the contribution of the generals is definitely not that great.

The King of Chu knew that someone would say so, so he asked Wei Zhong, who saw Wei Zhong say: "Since Beirong and Xiliang are not enough to cause trouble, I ask your majesty to transfer this lord to the three counties of Wanbao, Baima and Pingshan on the border. Shou."

Emperor Deguang knew that what Wei Zhong said must be ordered by his ninth brother, and he didn't like this kind of remarks, so he nodded and said, "Quizu!" Go to Wanbao County to guard, and I will be able to wipe out the barbarians and get rid of the itching of ringworm and scabies for me."

Emperor Deguang ignored the courtier kneeling and begging for mercy, ordered someone to take him down, and urged him to take office.

Wen Chen was all dumbfounded.

The northwestern border is not peaceful every year, especially the Beirong people are barbaric. Whenever they have the opportunity, they send troops southward and are plundering. The three counties of Wanbao, Baima and Pingshan are the areas closest to the northern border. The terrain is relatively flat, which is convenient for cavalry to break in. It is the hardest-hit area where the Beirong people went south, and it is very dangerous. There have always been vacancies for the county sheriff and the supervisors of the counties in the county.

Even if you are lucky and there are no military disasters during your term of office, but the population, agriculture, and economy cannot improve, and it is impossible to get excellent grades in performance appraisals, you will not be able to be promoted.

A few civil servants who wanted to say "Bei Rong and Xi Liang are not enough to cause trouble", now they all swallowed this sentence with their necks stuck.

——Baima and Pingshan counties have no sheriffs, and they are more dangerous than Wanbao County.

Not to mention that no one dared to say, "Emperor, you should lay off 50 imperial troops and 200 million Xiang troops." Then the king of Chu might suggest sending civil servants to the battlefield to deal with border troubles.Even being arrested to be a supervisor is terrible. A supervisor who has offended a military general to the death does not know how he died. Anyway, the border is in chaos. If you find a scapegoat to take responsibility, no one will be held accountable. If you die, you will die in vain. .

It's not that military generals haven't done this before—by the way, this is also one of the unspoken rules of the forbidden army, so that civil servants never dare to go too far as supervisors.

There's no way to argue with that.

Wen Chen had no choice but to use a unique trick, crying, making trouble, and hanging himself.

One by one, they will hit the dragon pillar to die, and they will still be famous after they die.But the pillars were all wrapped in layer after layer of brocade embroidered with dragons, and thick silk was stuffed underneath, in the name of preventing the courtiers in the hall from not seeing the road clearly, and wrestling and knocking on their heads (heavy fog, people are dead remonstrance All right?)

Well, in fact, Emperor Deguang can kill two birds with one stone—he had long wanted to cover up the imitation dragon pillars on the temple that were made of brass, tin, and then a layer of gold.

You must know that although gold plating is good, it will fade after a long time.

An excited servant saw two cranes weighing more than a hundred catties on the steps of the imperial court, so he bumped his neck forward!

The accident happened too fast, and the servant's blood flowed out...

The hall was silent, and Emperor Deguang was also stunned.

Soon, Bai Lin came to his senses. The former commander of the Imperial Forest Army and the Night Walking Guard, and now the most powerful general in the Sixth Guards Army, naturally had two brushes, and he was on the side of the King of Chu. He immediately rushed up the steps to block him. In front of the imperial court, he shouted loudly: "Bold, someone dares to bump into the imperial chariot and trespass in front of the imperial court?"

Sex this act!

All the ministers: "..."

There is really no way to refute it, because the crane and above the steps are within the range of the royal driver, except for the imperial guards and the head of the internal servants standing on it, other people are not allowed to approach without a call, not even the prince.

The attendant rushed towards Xianhe, although it was a deadly remonstrance, but because he overstepped the position, it was a foul, and it was indeed not wrong to say that he rushed into Yujia... This behavior is really hard to define.

Emperor Deguang immediately came to his senses, stood up abruptly, and said in a cold voice, "What are you trying to do? As scholars, you can't reason well, and you just want to threaten me with death?"

All the ministers: "..."

They really wanted to threaten them with death, but... they couldn't speak directly!

Blackmailing the emperor is a capital offense.

Everyone saw that Emperor Deguang supported the King of Chu and leaned towards generals.

The military generals can be regarded as elated, and the smiling pulls and persuasions have disturbed the desire of the civil servants to die... After they are all dead, no one will object, just like the generals' wishes.

It's just that the loved ones hurt the enemy quickly.

Moreover, it is useless for all the civil servants to take their sleeves and fight with the military officer. Although they may not necessarily lose, it is not a matter of winning or losing.The civil servants were so aggrieved, including the officials of the Political Affairs Hall, that they did not agree.

How to do?

Emperor Deguang looked at the officials and generals in the palace, and knew that letting illiterate warriors overwhelm his head would definitely attract opposition from all scholars.But the Jianwu Temple was a request from the ninth younger brother to him, and Emperor Deguang had to finish this matter even if he was under pressure, so no matter which civil servant advised him, he listened carefully, without the slightest impatience.Crying and asking people to deliver tea and towels, and the generals next to him will pull when they get excited...

She has a good attitude, but if she doesn't like oil and salt, she will ask back at the end: "Ai Qing, ask yourself, is it out of a public heart or selfishness when you say these words?"

How do you communicate?

Looking at Emperor Deguang's attitude, Wen Chen knew that it was useless to find His Majesty... In the end, does this one have to listen to the King of Chu?

Therefore, the crux still lies with the King of Chu.

Everyone really couldn't think of a way. Although there was no conclusion on the matter until the end of the court meeting, Emperor Deguang had already set the tone.

The court meeting was over, and the civil servants did not dare form cliques for private schemes, and the exchange of glances with each other was rather cryptic. Meng Zhi, the doctor of the censor, said, "What the king of Chu said must be listening to the villain's deception. As a censor, I must Suzheng Gangji, the responsibility of picketing, must go to persuade the last one!" Then he threw up his sleeves and rushed to the Chu Palace.

Some of the civil servants have already been dealt with, and those who want to make a big deal out of it will also go with Meng Zhi...Because this matter involves the vital interests of the civil servants, more and more civil servants followed and went to the Chu Palace to protest .

The officials of the Political Affairs Hall were ordered by Zhao Jiu not to take drastic measures. If there is a reason, they should just stay there. What should they do? The common people did not offend you, so the national government affairs must be dealt with in a timely manner.

……

It is said that when the ministers went to find the King of Chu, Emperor Deguang really couldn't stop him, otherwise he would really die.It's okay to die one or two, but it will be troublesome if you die too many.He is well aware of the energy of scholars. One or two literati have no soldiers or power, but the combined power is terrifying, accounting for most of the country.All affairs in the world are governed by civil servants, and if it really collapses, all civil servants will quit, and the whole country will be shut down.

This is not as good as the incident when the chief official went up to the embankment during the flood. If he was not obedient, he could send troops to suppress it.Because the chief official’s going to the embankment was originally a literati’s requirement for his own noble character, and if he didn’t go to the embankment, his moral character must be corrupt and tricky. The emperor occupied the commanding heights of morality and public opinion, so it did not cause a large-scale rebound from the literati.

Emperor Deguang couldn't, so he quickly sent Li Hai to inform the ninth brother.

……

When Mu Ci saw Li Hai, she said she was fine, and sent someone to go to the palace with Li Hai to thank her, so she calmly continued to read the documents at hand.Le Shu was worried, so he asked, "Master, don't you want to find a way to stop it?"

Mu Ci didn't raise her eyelids, and said calmly and calmly: "The [-] meters around the Chu Palace is a private territory, please don't enter it, and don't care about other places, whoever wants to come. In addition, they can say what they want. Some people Although I do not agree with his point of view, I will respect his right to speak."

The more Le Shu gets along with Mu Ci, the more he likes his three views, only star eyes.

Not long after, a voice suddenly appeared.

"My lord, I found out."

"Who is it!" Le Shu was taken aback, but because of the demeanor of an elegant and aristocratic family, he was not overwhelmed with fright, but his face was slightly pale looking at this ordinary middle-aged man who walked silently and came out of nowhere. young people.

Le Shu immediately stood in front of Mu Ci.

--who is he?Why do I seem to have seen him, but also seem to have never seen him?

Mu Ci raised her eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Tianshu, knock on the door first when you come in."

"Yes!" Tianshu's voice was very ordinary.

Le Shu knew that this was Tianshu, the commander of Ye Xingwei Zuo and one of the Seven Night Star Envoys. In fact, Le Shu had seen him before, but he was so ordinary that he was forgotten when he saw him, so that Le Shu didn't recognize him immediately.

This is Tianshu's special ability—ordinary, no matter his appearance, voice or behavior, he is the kind who forgets that he exists when he turns his head, and there is absolutely no way to find him in the crowd.

It is easy to be ordinary, but it is extremely difficult to make everyone ignore and forget his ordinary degree. You must restrain your breath and movement at all times, and blend harmoniously into the environment.

"After all, who did you find?" Mu Ci asked.

Tianshu said: "Concubine Xie, Prince Anshun, Princess Yongjia..."

"Wait a minute, the three of them don't need to talk about it individually in the future." Mu Ci said calmly, "Continue..."

"Shangshu Yang Ye of the Ministry of War, Marquis of Xin'an Tang Yuzhou, Prime Minister Lin Youde and his eldest son Lin Junmao of Luowang County..." Tianshu reported a series of names, and said, "They each contacted the same year and the old ministry, and wanted to settle the matter. Make a big fuss."

Le Shu is indeed a genius-type secretary, and immediately reacted and said: "Xin'an Marquis Tang Yuzhou, his mother is Princess Ping'an, and his wife is Xie's daughter; Lin Youde and Lin Junmao are the grandfather and father of the wife of Mu Hengguo, the eldest son of King Qi. It is understandable that the three of them would instigate trouble, but Yang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War...he is a general, why..."

Le Shu couldn't understand it.

The corner of Mu Ci's lips curled into a very slight arc: "Yang Ye is a sober person, he knows that the more benefits I give, the more he wants."

Tianshu quietly left again at some point, Le Shu stared wide-eyed and searched the room for several times before looking for Mu Ci to confirm: "He really left?" Could it be that he stood there and was ignored by me?

"Going to work, he's very busy." Mu Ci thought of something, and smiled interestedly, "I guess he played hide-and-seek with his friends when he was young, and he must have won often."

Le Shu smiled.

Indeed, it might not be easy for Tianshu to spot him standing in front of him, this ability is really amazing.

……

Tianshu immediately notified Cang Yu.

Cang Yu was removed from the front line by Mu Ci because of his impaired eyesight, and became the head coach of Jinyiwei, responsible for daily drills.

Mu Ci improved the Jinyiwei training according to the training method of the special forces, combined with Daxing's local characteristics, and gave Cang Yu a task-combining practice to find out a more efficient training method with the lowest casualty rate.

After Cang Yu became the head coach, he was conscientious and responsible, strict in requirements, cold-faced and selfless, and punished harshly. He trained the Jinyiwei to make life worse than death, but their combat effectiveness rose in a straight line.

The current Cang Yu took off his silver mask - the reason why he missed a poisonous arrow and injured his highness was not actually his eyesight.At that time, he felt that the mask was about to fall off, so he raised his hand to support it, only delaying this movement, but he could not completely block the wave of arrows.

After learning from the pain, or in order to punish himself, Cang Yu took off his mask, exposing his hideous scars, and endured the surprised, contemptuous, fearful and sympathetic eyes of others looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.

That burn only destroyed the right side of his face and half of his head, while the left side was well preserved.Seen from the left, he is as handsome as jade and as gorgeous as a peach blossom.Seen from the right side, he is ferocious and terrifying, ugly as a ghost.Someone secretly called him "yin and yang face" and "ghost on earth", but he didn't care at all.

Because, the only person in this world who needs his attention—His Royal Highness the King of Chu, doesn’t care whether he is handsome or ugly. Show he doesn't mind.

Treating it as usual is the real indifference.

This made Cang Yu feel relaxed and at ease, and he also forgot about his own appearance.The pot was broken, and the right side of the head whose scalp was burned did not grow hair, so he shaved the left side as well.

Cang Yu learned the unfeeling swordsmanship, and he was cold-hearted and cold-blooded. After so many twists and turns, Cang Yu was not knocked down, and when he got up, he took a step closer to his state of mind, and was no longer moved by foreign objects. Focusing more on the essence, the force value has also increased.

Now he has a cold and sharp edge, even if he looks at it, he feels that he will be hurt by a sharp sword, and the scars on his face are winding, adding a very stern look, which makes people fear.

This was Tianshu's first intention to find Cang Yu.

Cang Yu led Jin Yiwei to guard the [-]-meter range of the gate of Chu Palace, and no one dared to approach.

Ever since some black-clothed and green-skinned troops (嵠秋军) captured and killed a group of spies near King Chu's mansion, people with ulterior motives have described King Chu as a man-eating monster... By mistake, no one dared to casually Close to Chu Palace.

Many civil servants have heard of the "story" of King Chu cannibalizing people, but now looking at Cang Yu's ferocious face and shaved head...

Someone hid in the crowd and yelled: "Does the king of Chu want to kill people? You must know that you can't be killed if you speak out."

Cang Yu didn't speak, just drew out the sword at his waist... A cold light flashed, and the sword energy condensed into substance, drawing a deep sword mark on the road.

Just like the swipe of the Queen Mother, a Milky Way separates two worlds, and there is no magpie bridge.

Everyone swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and then looked at the tall and majestic walls of the Chu Palace, with arrow towers on it. There were no fully armored soldiers on the arrow towers, but high walls and countless deep shooting holes.

Who knows if there is a sharp arrow flashing coldly behind the hole?

After all, civil servants were still afraid of death, and no one dared to step forward.There was no other way, so he chose the gate of the Enlightenment Garden where the gate of King Chu's Mansion could be seen, and sat quietly in protest.

Mu Ci didn't expel or hurt anyone, and once again achieved a phased victory without bloodshed.

……

The author has something to say:

Cang Yu has the most beautiful soul.

In addition, each system calls Mu Ci differently.

Your Highness: Jin Yiwei, and other people who are involved in the identity of Prince Mu Ci are called His Highness.After all, they are the Royal Guards.

Master or Lord: The Huqiu army, because it is Mu Ci's real private army, only obeys his orders, so they are called masters or masters.

Your Excellency: Ye Xingwei told Mu Cijing that Ye Xingwei is actually a national intelligence agency. Although it has been semi-privatized by Mu Ci, it is mainly loyal to the country. This will be mentioned later.

Grandpa: Those who serve Mu Ci closely are more intimate, and they can shout a thousand times to act coquettishly.

Metropolitan Governor: Guarding the Sixth Army.

Ah Ci: Dear elders, relatives and friends.

Ruo Que has the least title, because there are only a few people who can talk about his peers, and Mu Ci doesn't like to make friends widely.

Brother: Only for Mou Yu.

Others will be added.
