Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Acting Prime Minister Wang Youlun, who has only been in office for half a month, recalls the first half of his life, and only feels that half is real and half is like a dream.

He lost his father when he was young, and relying on his widowed mother to help others with laundry and mending, worked hard to provide for his education, and won the imperial examinations all at once.However, he did not stay in the court, but invited him to be released. He started from a small county magistrate, and worked his way to a magistrate and prefect... and because of his outstanding political achievements, he returned to the center of Tianjing and became a servant of the household department.

In a few years, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry became old, and he was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.Due to his outstanding achievements in farming and water conservancy, he removed the word "Quan" and became a regular within a year. After two or three years as a minister, he was promoted to a second-rank official.

With a promotion speed like a rocket, looking at the whole Daxing, he is the only one.

Recently, he had bad luck again. The original right prime minister was relegated. Lu Taishi, the left prime minister, was also sick. He was promoted to the right to know the prime minister's affairs, and became the prime minister, the most substantial minister in the court.

He was only in his 40s and was the youngest prime minister in the history of the Daxing Dynasty. He was often praised as Wang Shaoxiang.It's not that no one is jealous of him, but everyone knows that he is Jane's figure in the emperor's heart, and such a promotion is only because the emperor likes his... wife.

Malicious people always have malicious speculations.

Wang Youlun had also heard rumors that he was promoted quickly and got a position again because he had an extremely beautiful wife who was a sister to the emperor's most beloved Concubine Xie Chen.After the death of Concubine Xie Chen, the emperor saw Mrs. Wang, who looked like his sweetheart, who loved the house and black... There were even more unbearable private rumors. He didn't know how many green hats he was "wearing".

Anyway, it's not the first time that when the emperor is conferred today, he has done such extraordinary things as "taking the wife of a minister". He is proficient in business.

Wang Youlun was born in a humble family. He has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child. He has seen the world's sophistication from a long time ago, so he doesn't care about these rumors.He did have a good wife, who lived with him, shared joys and sorrows, had children, and took care of the housework, which was worthy of respect.There is no embarrassment with the Emperor Tianshou.

But it is undeniable that this promotion may have something to do with his wife and the Ninth Prince who has just left the cold palace.

Wang Youlun had a good idea. In order to protect the Ninth Prince, Emperor Tianshou added a few amulets. He saw that he was the Ninth Prince's uncle and he was a good man, so he made an exception and promoted him to be the prime minister.

It has been half a month since Mu Ci left the cold palace, and the Tianshou Emperor asked Cui Yuanshi to hand in the pulse case every day, knowing that Jiulang was in better health.Cui Yuanshi repeatedly assured that Mu Ci's head and body injuries had recovered. Although his body was very weak due to the severe damage to his vitality, he could still do things like walking around, reading newspapers and books.

The most important thing is that after Cui Yuanshi's unremitting treatment and Mu Ci's active cooperation, the "shhhhhh" can be controlled a little bit. If he is reminded to clean the room regularly, he will not urinate on his body or on the bed sheet... …

This is great progress.

Emperor Tianshou was very happy that Mu Ci would not be rude in front of others, and would not make a fool of herself in public, which meant that she could study.So Emperor Tianshou left Wang Youlun behind after the court meeting, and assigned him an errand—after the court meeting every day, he would enter the palace and teach Chang Le Wang to study for an hour.

The prince's teachers are either fixed or not, and courtiers often play guest roles. Although there is no overtime allowance for this kind of friendship, there are rewards for doing well, and it is a part-time job with the most investment potential.

Theoretically, as long as he is a prince, he is qualified to inherit the throne, it's just the chance.If you have a good relationship with a certain prince, and if you are lucky enough to bet on the right treasure in the end, then you will be Taishi X, Taifu X in the future, and you will not be far away.

Just like Grand Master Lu, although he was born in the Lu family in Longxi, he was just an unappreciated bastard. The teacher of classics and history of the fifth prince's god-given emperor.At that time, the fifth prince's limelight was overshadowed by his stunningly talented half-brother Mu Chun. He was basically a little transparent in the palace, and he was not a heir, so he had no investment value.

But Grand Master Lu didn't mind, and taught the fifth prince very earnestly and patiently.

Later, the situation changed, and the fifth prince became the emperor's younger brother, who succeeded him as the heavenly emperor. Lu Taishi, a small official who had been a Hanlin editor for more than ten years, was promoted all the way to become a grand master by rocket, and accompanied him for 30 years. Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and her position has always been aloof.

Of course, the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk. If you make a wrong bet...

The dead bones in the tomb, don't mention it.

Now that Emperor Tianshou's body is showing signs of decay, time is running out.King Changle is the youngest prince. He is only 16 years old. He has several older brothers who are basically not destined for the throne and do not have investment value.

But Wang Youlun didn't agree to teach Le Wang for political investment - he did it for his old wife Xie who has been with him for more than 20 years.

The old wife is in her 40s, she has become a grandmother, and she will often cry at a hairpin given by her sister, Concubine Xie Chen. Since the day when she heard that the Ninth Prince left the cold palace, she has been facing the candlelight, even After a few nights, I rushed to make two pairs of soft-soled shoes, and my eyes were red from the boil.

With the approval of Emperor Tianshou, he had already carried those two pairs of shoes in his arms, ready to give them to the King of Changle.

……

The south gate of Chonghua Palace is very lively.

Because the Chonghua Palace was right between the front hall and the back palace, Wang Youlun wanted to avoid the emperor's back palace, so he could only choose a side road from the front hall to the south gate of the Chonghua Palace under the leadership of the head servant, Wei Zhong. Walk.

And because the location of the inner treasury is in the south of the front hall, moving things from the inner treasury to the Chonghua Palace is the closest to the south door.Wang Youlun happened to meet a long line of servants carrying countless boxes into Chonghua Palace.

Valuable treasures are carried to Chonghua Palace like flowing water.

Wang Youlun thought: It is not groundless that the rumor that Changle King won the emperor's heart once he came out of the cold palace.

Perhaps it was due to the heavy weight of the box. An eunuch accidentally fell down, causing the box to topple over and hit the box behind.The contents of the two boxes were scattered all over the floor.

Bao Yuan, the usually majestic internal treasury envoy, seemed to be a different person suddenly, and softly instructed the eunuchs who caused the trouble to clean up quickly.

Wang Youlun glanced at it without any trace.

A box of jewels scattered on the ground contained several strings of longan-sized oriental pearls. Another box contained calligraphy and paintings. Several scrolls were scattered on the ground. It was too far to see the contents clearly, but looking at the paper and bearings, there were hundreds of The standard that was popular a few years ago was some old antiques—the collections in the palace are all the best.

Fortunately for Wang Youlun, the weather has cleared up these two days and there is no rain on the ground, otherwise it would be a waste.He subconsciously touched the two pairs of shoes made of muslin in his arms...

Don't know if it fits or not?

Can it enter the eyes of King Changle?

The chief servant, Wei Zhong, once risked his life to save the emperor, he is smart and capable, and the most loyal, he has won the trust of the emperor, is the most proud person in the palace, and manages the daily affairs of the entire forbidden palace.In the palace, he is a character who "you don't have to know your parents, but you must know this one".So Wei Zhong stood at the south door, like Moxi splitting the sea, the messy but eerily quiet line of carrying boxes separated from the middle.

The eunuchs and court ladies stood on both sides, bowing their heads and waiting respectfully for Wei Zhong to lead people past.

Wei finally led Wang Youlun into Chonghua Palace.As an excellent chief servant, Wei Zhong's footsteps have always been silent.He lowered his voice and explained: "Your Highness likes to be quiet." Wang Youlun also subconsciously lightened his steps, and understood in seconds: Growing up in a cold palace, he has long been accustomed to a quiet and lonely environment.

Wei Zhong said one more thing: "Your Highness is a bit... careless, so the prime minister will take care of you."

"Naturally, naturally, thank you for reminding me." Wang Youlun knew that this point was regarded as a favor, so he immediately thanked him.He would not look down on eunuchs.

Wei Zhong smiled like a flower: "Don't dare to be a prime minister and say 'noble person', just call me Wei Changshi."

Fortunately, the emperor was more wise and diligent, and courtiers generally looked down on eunuchs, so there were not many eunuchs who flattered and exercised power.Wei Zhong is a popular person in front of Emperor Tianshou, but he can't exercise power.

However, because Wei Zhong had also seen blood on the battlefield, he fought to save Emperor Tianshou on the battlefield. Although he was pale and beardless, he was more heroic and bloody than the servants next to him.

Courtiers and high-ranking officials never disdain the company of eunuchs, but everyone has a better impression of Wei Zhong, because Wei Zhong has a characteristic - the kind of minister who treats the Emperor Tianshou, that is, the kind of minister who is affectionately called, He will "be kind to others", to mention a few words.

But this does not mean that Wei can be won over in the end - he is an extremely smart and naughty person, he greets everyone with a smile, he does not see arrogance, he does not embarrass others, he only treats others with kindness.But he is very cautious, that one mouth can say a lot of words, every sentence speaks to people's heart, making people feel comfortable and flattering.

But someone with a brain can distinguish carefully...you can't even find a single sentence.

Moreover, he was not suspected by the Emperor Tianshou because he was so successful in everything. This alone shows that this person is not simple.

The south gate is relatively close to the Hall of Hehuan, and it is not far away.Wei Zhong quietly walked a few steps forward, facing a yellow and thin eunuch who seemed to be standing there dumbfounded, and asked in a very low voice, "Where is Your Highness?"

Heshun pointed to under the shade of the tree.

Wei Zhong instantly stopped speaking.

Wang Youlun followed their gazes and looked over.

Under a century-old sycamore tree, a large rattan chair swing is hung with thick hemp rope.A man in white was sitting cross-legged on the swing, his long black hair was loosely scattered behind his head, and the breeze was blowing, and the hair was flying.His hands were hanging on his knees, his eyes were slightly closed, and his extremely delicate facial features were stretched and relaxed.

He sat there quietly, his breath was long, and he was slightly swaying with the swing...

The sunlight pierced through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadow fell on him, and it was blown by the wind, changing the shape of the light and shadow gently...

He seems to be integrated with the heaven and the earth, but also seems to be separated from the surrounding area, forming a small world of his own.

Quiet and peaceful, like a fairy.

Let the people who looked at him put aside their distracting thoughts. At this moment, their minds are calm, and they can only feel the peace and tranquility of the wind blowing through their hair.

No introduction needed, he is the King of Changle.

Wang Youlun saw a subtle blood relationship from the wonderful charm of his being very similar to his old wife, and immediately fell in love with him.If you look closely, you can still see the shocking scars left by the collision pole on his forehead.

A beauty is always easier to make people soft-hearted, not to mention his noble status but ill-fated fate, which adds to the poignant beauty.

Staring quietly at this fairy who strayed into the mortal world, it is easy for people to forget the time.

I don't know how long it took.

After Mu Ci adjusted her breathing and meditated, she slowly opened her narrow, long and slightly upturned eyes. The eyes were already clear and bright, but there was no light or shadow.

Mu Ci lightly waved his gentle supporting hand, got off the swing, and returned to the Hall of Hehuan. His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he was magnificent, and the white spun gauze dress swayed in the wind, making him feel as if he was in heaven.

……

Wang Youlun was stunned, as if in a daze when he saw Concubine Xie Chen for the first time back then...

Such a beautiful woman, sigh and pity.

Wei finally introduced Wang Youlun, who had already fallen in love with him, into the study of Hehuan Hall.

Mu Ci went to the clean room.

Wei Zhong could only wait with Wang Youlun, and waited for a long time before seeing Mu Ci come out of the clean room.A group of people entered the study room, and Mu Ci directly washed those hands carved like jade in the sink.

Bao Yuan, the chubby and chubby envoy of the Tianshou emperor's internal treasury, had already been waiting, bowed and handed a booklet to Heshun, and replied: "Your Highness, this is an object that His Majesty gave you for your enjoyment, and there is also one hundred thousand catties of silver , 10 taels of gold, ten buckets of pearls, and twenty boxes of gems, what do you think of it?"

Mu Ci said with a clean look: "I don't care, you can figure it out."

"Yes!" Bao Yuan stepped back and said in his heart: The things His Majesty gave you are the best in the internal storage, the only one in the whole country, this Changle King is so indifferent, he is not happy, does he really treat foreign wealth as nothing?Or is it a bumpkin from the cold palace who doesn't understand the value of things?

Although he murmured in his heart, somehow, as soon as Bao Yuan came in front of the King of Changle, he was swept by those cold eyes that were emotionless, unrecognizable to ordinary people, and the world of mortals could not care less, and he automatically held his breath and concentrated, not daring to be slighted. How dare you show any emotion on your face?

Wang Youlun has been a serious person and an official all his life, he has seen a lot, and he thinks he has some vision. Seeing that Changle Wang is already in the state of "unmoved by foreign objects", he has a deeper affection for Wang Youlun.

The author has something to say:

Wang Youlun, uncle, is one of the few relatives of Mu Ci's mother's family.
