Sheng Shi Merciful Light

On the second day, Mu Ci woke up early in the morning, pushed away the arms that were pressing on her chest and got up.Mei Rong opened her eyes in a daze, glanced at the sky outside the window, threw Mu Ci into a hug, and muttered: "So early?"

Mu Ci laughed, and shunned his little brown hair, which was scattered and wild in sleep: "I'm used to getting up early, so you continue to sleep."

"Hmm..." Mei Rong really closed her eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Ci couldn't help being happy, bowed her head and kissed him on the forehead, then broke off his hands again and got out of bed to clean the room, rinsed her mouth with green salt, cleansed her face with water, let He Shun wait for her to change her clothes, and then went back to the bedroom .

Hi, Mei Rong is sleeping soundly, throwing her arms around and snoring happily.

Mu Ci laughed again.This guy is by no means big-hearted.As a "Poseidon" who goes to sea all the year round and is tense to deal with various emergencies every day, he can't sleep late, and he must be vigilant in strange places.

It's all because of love, I believe that I won't be hurt, I won't be blamed, and I will be so defenseless and sleep peacefully when I take the place where my lover is my home.

After yesterday's heart-to-heart talk, this guy's little tail was also unscrupulously exposed... It made Mu Ci feel that no matter what Mei Rong did, she had a little comedy effect, and she felt happy watching it.

Well, there is a person who always makes me feel happy, and it is not a loss if I fall into it.

Mou Yu's bedroom was also moved to the second floor. He had good hearing and eyesight, and when he heard something going on upstairs, he went upstairs, and met Le Zhao who came over with two cups of goat's milk and a few plates of snacks.

On weekdays, it is Le Shu who delivers milk and works on the morning newspaper.But no matter why Le Shu avoids it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Mou Yu just didn't know, and passed the tray to let Le Zhao take the work documents.

When the two entered the master bedroom, they saw Mu Ci sitting on the bedside and looking at Mei Rong with a smile on her face, while Mei Rong was sleeping soundly... This was heartless.

When Mu Ci saw the two of them, she put her finger to her lips to signal silence.

The two were speechless, looked at each other and shook their heads.

Several people entered the small study next door.Mou Yu handed the goat's milk to Mu Ci, and Mu Ci sipped it, reading the documents while listening to the report.Mou Yudao: "After investigation by the Ye Xingwei, the daughter of the Yang family did leave home for five days, lost her way and was found by her family. She has no personal affair and is still innocent."

Mu Ci nodded.

Le Zhao said: "Please see Yang Ya, Marquis of Weiyuan in the Northwest."

"No see!" Mu Ci would not worry a 80-[-]-year-old man, and ordered, "Tell him that I will go to the palace today and I will mention this matter."

Happy to answer.

Mou Yu said again: "The fine salt from the fiefdom has been loaded into cars, and we hired post horses to transport it along the official road. The farthest places, Fengxiang Mansion in Yongzhou and Zhaolin Mansion in Jingzhou, can be reached within [-] days. The first batch of oil from Nanzhi Kingdom has also been loaded. It will take some time for the ship to go up the water because it is going upstream. According to your instructions, in order to prevent people from reaching out, they will directly hire merchant ships to transport to various places. The amount of salt and oil used will be reported by the various places to the Ministry of Households, and then the Ministry of Households will communicate with you. We settle."

Salt oil is not enough, money is not enough, and the amount can be checked immediately if it does not match.As for whether the salt oil will be used by the common people in the end, it depends on the supervision of righteous students from all over the place.Corruption in official circles is also a problem in the world in the modern age of advanced technology and news exposure.

Mu Ci flipped through the relevant documents, pointing to the cost of the stagecoach and asked: "The cost of land transportation is so low? Don't make people suffer."

Mou Yudao: "Because the fine salt was ordered and bought by the imperial court, and it was produced in your fiefdom, the checkpoints set up by the official roads in various places dare not charge fees, so they only consider collecting money for some people's food and horse fodder. There will be subsidies."

Mu Ci thought of something, and suddenly said: "Bring the map of the whole country."

He Shun ran down to the big study on the first floor, took a large volume of maps, and ran upstairs again.Mu Ci spread out the blueprint, looked at it for a while, and ordered: "Have someone draw a national road map, and I plan to build a few more roads..."

road?

The cost of building roads is huge, and the requisition of civilian labor in various places is heavy. If one fails, there will be a civil uprising. The former dynasty Da Zhou won the throne because the previous dynasty Da Luo dynasty expropriated civilians to dig canals and build north-south passages, so that people complained. Dao, the farmland was abandoned, and the country was eventually overthrown.

Just as Le Zhao was about to persuade him, Mu Ci stopped him: "As long as you know about this matter, don't say anything about it. I will make a plan and act later, so as not to disturb the people."

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is a famous saying. Although Mu Ci knows that building roads has various benefits, he never wants to make the people uneasy.

It's hard to persuade the two of them.

Mou Yu said again: "We have been keeping an eye on the envoys from various countries. Yesterday they contacted the nails in Tianjing City privately and bribed the censor. Take your investigation of smuggling as an example. Make a bedding."

"Well, it's time for them to move. Everyone can't get rid of the word '利'. Have the soldiers from the northern border crossed the border?"

"Because of your instruction, King Changshan deliberately did not investigate the several border crossings by the frontier army for the purpose of inspecting smuggling. Because the superiors condoned it, the lower levels were a little bit unstoppable. One battalion of frontier soldiers was really bold, and went deep into the hinterland to hunt down private merchants from Beirong. And killed 56 young and strong members of the Beirong tribe who sheltered them."

"Okay, let King Changshan hide the returned frontier army, increase vigilance, and send more spies to control the movement of the northern border."

"He knows it well," Mou Yu asked, "Brother, what is your plan, tell me in advance so you don't catch me off guard." The little heart was frightened.

Mu Ci took another sip of goat's milk, and said seriously: "The plan of 'If you don't die, you won't die'."

Mou Yu: "..."

Light a candle for all those who are targeted by the King of Chu.

"Enke will start the exam after the holy birthday. This is more important. Let them dance for another two days." Mu Ci returned the cup to Mou Yu after drinking the goat's milk, and saw Mei Rong enter the study with a messy golden retriever lion king , directly encircled his waist, and put his head on his shoulder.

Mu Ci looked sideways: "Did you sleep well?"

"I had a good dream all night, and I slept so soundly..." Mei Rong didn't blush at all, she spoke in a daze, and took a deep breath, "Wang, you smell so good."

After the official business was finished, Mou Yu gave Le Zhao a wink, and the two retreated out. Even Le Shou, who was accompanying him with his sword in his arms, went out of the study to guard the door.

"Rinse your mouth, your mouth really stinks." Mu Ci pushed Mei Rong's head, thinking that this guy with disheveled hair and a bearded eye is quite handsome.

I really can't save myself.

Mei Rong opened her eyes with a smile, only to see Mu Ci's fair and flawless face with almost no pores, and a ring of white foam on her pink lips from drinking goat milk...

Terrible!

Mei Rong tightened her arms and lowered her head...

Mu Ci: "Uh~~uh~~"

After finally taking a breath, Mu Ci mumbled a complaint from between her lips: "You haven't rinsed your mouth yet..."

"It's just right, you wash me up..." Mei Rong panted heavily, and blocked Mu Ci's mouth again, her tongue nimbly swept every part of his mouth, chasing Mu Ci's soft tongue...

Mu Ci: "..." Can I return the product?

The beautiful half-breed is turning towards the sloppy, lazy man, the uncle who picks his feet at the speed of light... It's really a little sad.Is it the price of skipping the chasing love and going straight to the "flash marriage"?

……

As a punishment for not brushing his teeth and promiscuously, Mu Ci hung Mei Rong who was about to explode on the bed, and told him solemnly: "Indulgence is not good." Then he left the house calmly, got on the star chasing car and went straight to the palace, where he was in Chonghua. Gong chatted with the emperor all morning.

The two brothers have reached a preliminary agreement on a series of national affairs such as transporting salt oil to fight against pests, building roads to open trade between the north and the south, sincerely cooperating to kill envoys, making preparations to reopen border trade, and setting up examinations for officials and other professionals (civil service examinations) after Enke. Intention, as for the specific implementation, this has to be considered in the long run.

Mu Ci accompanied the lunch by the way, the Imperial Catering Department has been rectified, and the craftsmanship has been improved to a higher level, the two brothers ate very happily.And because each of them has emotional nourishment, they look happy.

Mu Ci saw that Mu Zhan hesitated to speak several times, and speculated that he should have doubts about his relationship with Mei Rong, but it was not time to admit it, so he told about Yang's daughter.

As expected, Mu Zun's attention was diverted, because he was kind and sincere, although he was a little angry, he didn't mean to get angry.In addition, one of his side concubines who died of dystocia three years ago was indeed related to Yang Jiajia, and he was more or less aware of the evil deeds of Xie's criminal daughter, so it is reasonable for Yang's daughter to not want to enter the palace. Original.

Mu Zan couldn't help blushing when he thought of the absurdity of doting on his concubine and killing his wife for more than ten years.However, escaping marriage privately, or the marriage of the fleeing emperor, cannot be tolerated, otherwise, where is the majesty of the royal family?

Because Yang Ya, the Marquis of Weiyuan in the northwest, was of high seniority and had great prestige, it was not easy to convict him.In the end, I warned the parents of Yang's daughter, demoted Yang's daughter by a rank, and made her a third-rank Jieyu. The ceremony was completely exempted, and she was brought into the palace on any day after the Shengshou holiday. King Chu's face.

The Yang family didn't dare to protest because of their own mistakes, so they pinched their noses and confessed.Yin Yin told Yang Jiajia to be cautious in his words and deeds after entering the palace, and he must not make mistakes again.Yang Jiajia nodded, then wiped away tears, her eyes showed determination, and entered the palace gate in the green cloth carriage of Princess Lin'an Taichang.

No matter how much Princess Lin'an likes Yang Jiajia, she can only do this for her.No one now expected that ten years later, Yang Jiajia, who had been conferred the title of Concubine De and had a son and a daughter, would cause another earth-shattering event, which would push the King of Chu to the forefront...

This matter will be mentioned later.

……

Mei Rong is a knight, even though he is a non-staff, he should not be underestimated... besides, he has someone above him.

So someone asked to see General Dinghai at the gate of King Chu's mansion, the concierge did not dare to neglect, and immediately informed Mei Rong.

Mei Rong called the wind and rain on the sea and had many loyal relatives.He stayed beside the King of Chu not really intending to stay obediently in the backyard, but planning to show his strengths, and it would be impossible without a confidant, so he left some of his people in the Sea God Army, and brought the rest of his confidants ashore.

But before he gave the holy birthday gift and had an audience with the emperor, he took risks.Therefore, the old subordinates who decided to go ashore with him were all left outside Tianjing City by him, in case of accidents.

The one who asked to see him was Li San, who had been with him for the longest time.

When Mu Ci entered the palace, Mei Rong and Qi Yan reported that they were going to leave the palace, but didn't say much else.Knowing his identity, Qi Yan would not interrogate Mei Rong, and without the slightest embarrassment, he gave him the highest standard vassal badge, which allows him to freely enter and leave the palace without reporting.

Mei Rong accepted the kindness, took the badge and left the mansion to settle her loyal subordinates.

After a busy morning, King Qinghe caught him at noon, and wanted to take him back to his palace to reminisce about the old days.

Mei Rong knew that her identity as a bearded man of mixed race was not easy being with the king of Chu, and he was too close to the king of Qinghe... In Tianjing City, he was not as comfortable as at sea, with too many eyes staring at him. Offend scholars all over the world.

Besides, the King of Chu intends to be a lonely king, and even broke up with the Ding Palace, which is closer to him, and never intends to have a close relationship with the Qinghe Palace.Mei Rong has eyesight, scheming, and channels, even though he just came ashore from the sea, he knows all the tricks and tricks in Gyeonggi better than anyone else.

Mei Rong refused to enter Qinghe Prince's Mansion, so the two had no choice but to sneak up and go to Taihe Building for dinner one after the other, making them look like underground workers.

What is the identity of King Qinghe? The shopkeeper of Taihe Building immediately opened the Ziwei Hall dedicated to King Chu to entertain him.After King Qinghe's guards isolated the crowd, a guard quietly brought Mei Rong in.

King Qinghe stood outside the window, watching with great interest the [-] boats occupying the Yuhe River, and did not look back at Meirong, but satirized: "General Dinghai, it is extremely difficult to see you now. "

Mei Rong acted as if she didn't hear anything, sat down at the table and drank a stomach full of tea, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Let's meet less in the future, I will let Wang contact you if there is something to do."

King Qinghe knew that the "king" in Mei Rong's mouth was the only one, he couldn't help turning his head back: "You..." He was stunned as soon as he said a word, and looked Mei Rong up and down.

Mei Rong's appearance has changed, his long golden brown hair has been cut into ear-length short hair, still with wild little waves.In order to avoid confusion and lack of proper appearance, a red brocade ribbon inlaid with gold and jade was tied between the foreheads. Although it looked a bit weird, it had to be said that it was quite... pretty.

Moreover, his brows are stretched, his face is radiant, and the little flash of happiness directly overflows from the blue eyes!

Really handsome.

Seeing that King Qinghe was stunned, Mei Rong touched the temples of her hair, and she almost shook her head to be handsome, and asked with a bright smile, "Does it look good? My king cut my hair and tied the forehead band with my own hands."

I'm afraid people don't know that he is proud of love.

King Qinghe is a reserved gentleman, and he despises people who show off smugly. If he hadn't gotten used to Mei Rong's flamboyance, he might just pull his face down and walk away.

So King Qinghe couldn't help but help his forehead, and fell silent.

"What did you ask me to do? I'm going back, so I won't worry if my king can't find me." The more Mei Rong said, the more she exaggerated.

King Qinghe: "..." He really didn't think the King of Chu would be in such a hurry, let alone for such a big living person.Worrying about him getting into trouble outside is more or less the same.

When the food came, Mei Rong threw off her arms and ate.Seeing this, King Qinghe also began to eat, keeping "eating without talking".

In fact, he didn't know where to start.Originally, he had a lot of things he wanted to ask for advice, but seeing this guy's muddy feet, he really didn't know what to say to be useful.

King Qinghe couldn't taste the taste of this meal, but Mei Rong was very happy and praised: "As expected of my king's property, the meal is really delicious."

King Qinghe Fu forehead: "..." Please don't say "my king", do you understand that you need to be beaten?

King Qinghe couldn't bear it any longer, and asked with a frown: "You gave up everything, risked your life, and bet all on the King of Chu... This big gamble, if you lose, you will be completely defeated, understand?"

Mei Rong didn't feel that she made a mistake, and laughed loudly: "Didn't you always say that I am a natural gambler?"

King Qinghe: "..." He heaved a long sigh, "Okay, then do you know what you are doing and what you want?"

Mei Rong just wiped her mouth with a wet towel, and gently rubbed her lips, as if reminiscing, showing a smirk that fell in love and lost her IQ: "I know, I only want the King of Chu."

King Qinghe: "..."

If you want the King of Chu, just pay it back...

This ideal is so lofty that it is simply speechless.

As a bystander, King Qinghe knew a lot of things, not to mention seeing things clearly.

He knew Chu Wang's disposition, knew the past of Chu Wang and Ding Wang's eldest grandson, but the former had never concealed it, needless to say.The latter is also not suitable for talking to people, telling Mei Rong is even more suspected of provoking.

He also knew that King Chu took special care of Mei Rong.Mei Rong has also been collecting all the information related to the King of Chu, and he will risk his life to serve him if he says a word, he is simply a diehard fan.But he never thought there would be any intersection between the two - because one was at sea and the other was in the temple.

It is impossible for the king of Chu to give up the throne and leave. Mei Rong is not a penniless boy. He is capable, high-minded, and used to flying freely.

Uh... Even if the King of Chu is thin and thin, and has indistinguishable beauty, he can turn all living beings upside down by his face.But he has always relied on IQ, and his nature is too cruel... Who would dare to make him a female.

The tragic death of Prince Bao is a lesson from the past.

King Qinghe really doesn't want to continue talking with Mei Rong, what about his life?But he has always regarded this person as his nephew, and he has received many life-saving graces. Finally, he choked out a sentence: "Don't dig out your heart and soul as soon as you come up, you often don't cherish what is too easy to get."

King Qinghe almost had the illusion of marrying a stupid girl.

Mei Rong smiled and shook her head.

It's not that it's too late to say it, but it's useless to say it sooner or later.But he knew that King Qinghe was really worried about him, so he said sternly: "To be honest, I had various concerns before, fearing that he would look down on me, fearing that he would just think of me as a plaything... The situation at sea is very good, and I also have a lot of reluctance. Later, when I was wounded and dying, I couldn't think of anything, only thinking about him... I know you want to say that I'm crazy, I only saw him once, and I was blindfolded and didn't dare to let him look at me, really... ..."

King Qinghe wanted to roll his eyes, and said in his heart: That's called "I don't know where the love started, and it goes deeper and deeper..." This guy seems to be a nobleman of a family, with good manners, but he is just a showman. some.

Mei Rong smiled wryly and sighed again: "At that time, I was going to be injured, and I was sure to die. I held on to my breath and wanted to see him, pour my heart out, and then die without regret. Who knows... he didn't spare himself, and pulled me back from the gate of hell. Mei Rong couldn't say that Mu Ci had been in a coma for three months because of this. She touched the wound on the side of her waist with her fingers, and her smile returned to a silly white sweetness. The life is also given by him. Knowing that he is also interested in me, it would be foolish not to hurry up and take care of Joe."

King Qinghe was also speechless.

In the end, Mei Rong concluded: "God treats me really kindly..."

The king treated me very well, none of you know that.Mei Rong recalled what Mu Ci had told him last night - Xu Yi would feel happy for the rest of his life without missing a single minute.

Of course, private conversations in the bedroom should not be shown off, as long as the two of them know about it.

King Qinghe covered his face, he really didn't want to talk to this stupid man whose every cell in his body was exuding the pink breath of "I'm in love".

It feels like my eyes are going to go blind.

"At least leave yourself a way out." King Qinghe sighed.

Mei Rong just smiled and said nothing, obviously not listening.

King Qinghe wished he could hit him twice, so Xuan held it back, knowing that Mei Rong never looked forward or backward by nature, went all the way to the dark, dared to fight and gamble, otherwise it would not be possible to make a big name in the sea within ten years.He could only say: "The king of Chu is bright and bright, he is open and honest, he has no regrets about people and things, and since he has intentions for you, he will never let you down. But I am not afraid of his hypocrisy, or abandonment at the beginning and end."

Mei Rong nodded immediately, happier than praising herself.

King Qinghe Fue: "..." He looked away at the blue sky outside the window, and continued, "I don't mean to look down on you, but your life experience is always a clue, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. The city of Tianjing is no better than the sea. Eyes More, more mouths..."

The identities of the two are very different, although regardless of their status and blood, King Qinghe thinks that Mei Rong is very good, and King Chu is very knowledgeable, but... people still have to be realistic, right?The world will only revil the half-breed beard for wishful thinking and bewilderment by sorcery.Spitting stars, flashes of swords and swords will all come towards Mei Rong.

"I'm mentally prepared for this, I won't be afraid." Mei Rong said.

"You are not afraid of people talking, but you will also cherish the feathers for the King of Chu. You have caused too much trouble, and the world will criticize you, and the King of Chu will stand up for you?"

For sure.

These words are pertinent, Mei Rong is proud of herself, how could she really hide behind King Chu?Otherwise, he would not take the risk of presenting a holy birthday gift, forcing the emperor to confer a title on him and admit him.

He looked serious, showing that he was educated.

King Qinghe continued: "The king of Chu still has His Majesty, the eldest brother is like a father, and the patriarchal rules are on his head. Sooner or later, it is very likely that he will get married. At that time... how will you deal with yourself?"

"he……"

King Qinghe waved his hand, he didn't want Mei Rong to fight for favor, but just fulfilled his friend's duty, Quan served as a reminder: "Besides, he is a feudal lord, without the Sangong and Sixth Courts, how many pets do you have, how do you deal with yourself?"

Mei Rong couldn't tell, he hadn't thought that far.

King Qinghe turned his head and looked at Mei Rong sincerely: "It is impossible for me to interfere with the King of Chu, and I am not like a woman gossiping, so I can only advise you, don't regard yourself as a first-class male favorite, so..." Although in the past With his orthodox Chinese eyes, he couldn't see any "color" in Meirong, but he still said, "Israel will never serve people for long. You have real skills, and it's best to win a place with your ability, so that no one will be in trouble." Dare to underestimate it. Just like you are now named 'General Dinghai' with your military exploits, it can be seen that lucky people are not stubborn, you have solid achievements, you will definitely be able to win the respect of the world, and you will be less slandered."

This makes sense, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, that is to say, to persuade Mei Rong not to rely on her face for a living, but to rely on her talent.

"Xinghai remember!" Mei Rong was taught, stood up and saluted King Qinghe.

King Qinghe smiled gratifiedly and patted his shoulders.

Mei Rong said: "Thank you for reminding me of your friendship today. The road is made by people, and the life is also lived by oneself. I will work hard, and I won't be in trouble."

If King Qinghe hadn't reminded me today, Mei Rong wouldn't have had so many worries.Although he and Mu Ci had been together for less than three days, he didn't know where the certainty in his heart came from. He just subconsciously felt that King Chu would not hurt him... There would be no harm in any sense.

Mei Rong took out a wooden box from her luggage and handed it to King Qinghe: "You keep this thing for me, I don't know who to give it to."

When King Qinghe heard this, he was obliged to accept it, and asked, "What is it?"

Mei Rong said frankly: "I have the last bit of family property."

If you say that he has worked so hard for so many years, he has lost even a little of his family fortune... No one would believe it, would they?But he didn't lie to Mu Ci, the things in the wooden box were really not money.

There are so many things in this world that are more valuable than money.

King Qinghe smiled gratifiedly: "Sure enough, you know how to stay behind, so I'll say you're not that stupid."

Mei Rong laughed: "It's really not a way out. I left this for the king. If anything happens to me in the future, you can hand over this wooden box to him." Mei Rong paused, and added, "The contents inside are , so he can understand."

King Qinghe: "..."

——You are hopeless, and I announce that I will give up treatment.

King Qinghe put the wooden box on the table angrily: "Give it to him yourself!"

Mei Rong quickly apologized and smiled: "Uncle...Father...Can I call you grandpa?"

"I'm not that old!" King Qinghe roared, "I'm from the clan, don't misidentify relatives, be careful to behead!"

Mei Rong was very serious, and said solemnly: "Uncle! I really can't give it to the king, and I can't even let him know. He is too generous, he has no self in his heart, he only thinks about the righteousness of the country, and if he knows it, he will not let him know. Stay. Even if he stays for selfish reasons, it will be a felony for him if he is accidentally exposed in the future. "

Wang Fu of Qinghe was in his heart, and he could probably guess what was in the wooden box. He sighed: "You can give me the hot potato! You can tell who is close to you!"

Mei Rong sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, so I added a lock, and I keep the key. As long as you don't find someone to pick the lock in private, you will be fine."

King Qinghe held his breath even more: "I am a gentleman! Do not despise evil!"

Mei Rong nodded: "So, put away a box for me, why are you so awkward?"

King Qinghe: "..."

"Remember, if I have something to do, I must give it to the king." Mei Rong reminded.

"Bah!" King Qinghe was furious. He had learned a banditry from wandering around for many years, and he didn't want to pretend to be in front of people who knew the basics. It's not cheap for the King of Chu either."

"Okay, okay!" Mei Rong smiled, and nodded casually, guessing that Mu Ci was coming back, so she hurriedly bid farewell to this awkward elder.

I haven't seen you for a long time, like three autumns later, my thoughts are still flooding...
