Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Outside, Mou Yu came over with the materials, saw An Qing was outside, frowned and said, "Why don't you stay guard inside?"

Mu Ci is simply a "troublesome" attractor, and the night guards monitoring Mu Ci have already withdrawn. When An Qing is not patrolling, he will stay by Mu Ci's side to protect him nearby to prevent emergencies.

An Qing said: "The Duke of Xinyi is inside." Then he whispered, "He overturned the water basin where the materials were soaked."

When Mou Yu heard this, his face was serious, and he walked into the study quickly, and saw Mu Ruosong holding Mu Ci with a panicked face, while Mu Ci's eyes were closed tightly, and he was limp and obviously lost consciousness.

Mou Yu immediately ordered: "Call Cuiyuan envoy!" He hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Mu Ruosong away, hugged Mu Ci in his arms and checked him up and down. He was relieved when he saw that Mu Ci was only in a coma and his life was not in danger.

Mou Yu stared at Mu Ruosong with sharp eyes: "What's going on?"

"I...I..." In Mu Ruosong's mind, Mu Ci told him to stop talking nonsense and keep calm before he fainted.He tried his best to calm down and said, "I don't know why Your Highness fainted suddenly."

Of course Mou Yu could sense that Mu Ruosong had something to hide, even though the young man had tried his best to pretend to be calm, and his worries and surprises were not fakes, but his clenched fists and trembling hands betrayed his emotions.

Mou Yu initially figured out the cause and effect—Mu Ruosong found out that he was being tempted, and was furious for a moment, knocking over the water basin. Mu Ci cared about him but was considered hypocritical, and then questioned...causing people to faint.

With Mu Ci's meticulousness, Mou Yu didn't doubt at all that Mu Ruosong knew something he shouldn't know.

Mou Yu signaled Anqing to pay attention to Mu Ruosong with his eyes, and carried Mu Ci into the sleeping hall. Cuiyuan envoy was in the Hall of Hehuan, and immediately came over to give Mu Ci a diagnosis and treatment, and gave him an injection, saying: "Old problem, both blood and qi are deficient. Your health is not good, so you fainted from exhaustion." Then he frowned and asked, "Old man, I can't ask what you are doing, but His Highness's body can't worry about it, and can't be tired at all."

The old man really couldn't understand Mu Ci's reading so many materials every day, and it was exhausting and hurting his body, so he persuaded Mu Ci not to listen.

Mou Yu couldn't persuade him either.

"When will His Highness wake up?" Mu Ruosong asked, he followed, but no one expelled him.

"I'm not sure, let Your Highness take a good rest, and you should wake up when you have enough energy." Cui Yuan envoy.

The envoy Cui Yuan went out to prescribe medicine, and Mou Yu ordered people to report that the emperor was granted, and then ordered someone to fetch hot water, take off Mu Ci's coat, wipe his face and hands, and let Mu Ci rest better.Because Mu Ci's unspeakable scars couldn't fade away in a short time, she didn't wipe her whole body, but opened her sleeves and wiped her arms... Then Mou Yu discovered the new blue and purple scratches on Mu Ci's arms.

Five fingerprints stood out.

Mou Yu narrowed his eyes!

Mu Ruosong gasped, only then did he realize that he had hurt someone unintentionally, that shocking bruise...is his hand so strong?Mu Ci must have been in pain when he was caught, but he didn't say anything, and kept comforting himself.

Mou Yu glanced at Mu Ruosong, but he was not in a hurry to question. After careful examination, there was no fracture, only skin trauma.Mou Yu silently walked around the new wound without rubbing it, then took Xueyu ointment and applied medicine to the wound.

An Qing looked at the situation and said, "I'll go out and watch." Seeing Mou Yu nodding, he ran away quickly.

Sitting beside Mu Ci's bed, Mou Yu said coldly to Mu Ruosong who was standing there: "It's my idea to test you, it has nothing to do with His Highness, he doesn't agree."

Mu Ruosong gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, staring at Mou Yu.

Mou Yu sneered: "Where are you in the palace? It's your choice to stay, so you must be mentally prepared to face trials and be absolutely loyal."

Because Mu Ci was hurt by Mu Ci, Mu Ruosong naturally had no face to find fault with Mou Yu's bad temper, so he only asked: "Exhausted and heart failure...what do you mean?" The body is so bad.

Mou Yu said: "He is very weak, and he has been exhausted and thinking lately..." He didn't intend to explain too much, and asked Mu Ruosong, "Is there anything you can't say well? If you insist on throwing pots and bowls, such recklessness, His Highness Good temper can tolerate you, change it to..." Then he found that Mu Ruosong's expression was wrong... What's with the panic and anger in his eyes?

Mou Yu is in charge of the night guards, and he is used to plotting and dark plots. He has come into contact with countless spies and assassins, so how could he not understand the tricks in them.What's more, this young man thought he was covering it up well, but in front of Mou Yu, his little thoughts were all on his face.

He stood up and approached Mu Ruosong, his sharp eyes piercing people's heart: "In the water basin... what did you see?"

Mu Ruosong subconsciously took a step back under the pressure of this power, and couldn't bear it any longer and exploded: "You don't know what I saw? If it wasn't His Highness, didn't you leave it for me on purpose?" He sneered, "This time again To test what?"

Even Mou Yu, who is used to the wind and waves, was a little dazed: "You...impossible, that kind of news..."

Mou Yu seemed to think of something, rushed out like a gust of wind, came back not long after, and threw the pieces of paper that Mu Ci usually drew some ghostly symbols that no one could understand into the water, and stirred it up...

Then, Mou Yu said: "I see, Your Highness writes with wooden pens, the paper is good paper, more flexible and not easy to get mushy, and the words with wooden pens won't be blurred by water."

Mu Ruosong was skeptical, but looking at the pieces of paper that could not be shredded in the water basin, the handwriting was still clear, he was... speechless.

So, just a misunderstanding?

Mou Yu looked at Mu Ruosong, and frowned: "It's the data I destroyed, I'm careless."

Purely a coincidence with serious consequences.But... Mou Yu said: "The matter has come to this point, you have no intention of going out of the palace, not only for yourself, but also for your family."

Even King Ding only knew that Emperor Tianshou asked him to send troops to suppress it, but he didn't know that it was Mu Ci's idea.Emperor Tianshou had issued a death order, and asked the night guards to closely monitor, and not allow anyone to have any connection with Mu Ci and the dispatch of troops, if caught, it would be bad luck, even if it was just a random guess.

Like Mu Ruosong, who has seen the real evidence with his own eyes, and has served Mu Ci as an official for so long, it is more credible to say it.So he knew it, and it was a word of "death".

Frankly speaking, Mu Ruosong understands, but is not angry. After all, Wang Ding's parents grew up, and he understands the rules of power politics better under his influence. Mou Yu is right to do so.Mu Ruosong nodded and said, "I didn't intend to leave at all."

Mu Ci, who was lying on the bed, moved, struggled to wake up, and managed to focus her gaze. She saw Mou Yu, who was anxious and concerned, but did not see Emperor Tianshou, so she relaxed, and asked a little weakly, "Where's Zi Ren?"

Mu Ruosong, who was standing behind Mou Yu, leaned over: "I'm here," and said again, "I hurt you, I'm sorry, I'll be careful in the future."

"It's okay, let Anqing send you out of the palace, you are overqualified by my side." Mu Ci said.

Mou Yu touched Mu Ci's forehead and said, "I already know that he can't leave the palace."

Mu Ci looked at Mou Yu.

Mou Yu immediately explained: "He's not very good at hiding his emotions, I can tell. But this time it's really not premeditated, not a temptation, and it's not just to force him to stay..."

Mu Ci has already nodded: "I know, it's just a coincidence, brother, you are a person who knows the seriousness, and you won't take advantage of this kind of news. It's just..." Mu Ci looked at Mu Ruosong, "I got him in trouble, the palace It had nothing to do with him."

Mu Ruosong squatted in front of Mu Ci's bed, looked closely at Mu Ci's deep, calm but tolerant eyes, and asked softly, "May I ask you a question first?"

"Well, you say it!"

"Smart as you are, don't you understand the risk of letting me go? What if I gossip around? I have been your servant for so long, and people believe it even more, so why send me away?"

"No matter what I do, I have a clear conscience and I'm not afraid of being known, so it doesn't matter if you say it. But I believe you won't talk nonsense." Mu Ci's voice is a little weak, but still gentle and calm, which can comfort people's hearts, "Leave Well, you are still young, this should not be your home."

Mu Ruosong's breath was stagnant, he knew that Mu Ci's thoughts were sincere, and he didn't deliberately tell him to buy people's hearts.He looked at Mu Ci who was lying weak, his frail and pale appearance seemed to be broken at the first touch, but he had a broad and tolerant soul, exuding a kind of brilliance of humanity.

Even though I am weak and hurt, I still remember to take care of others.

Looking at Mu Ci, Mu Ruosong felt that every time his heartbeat became flustered and painful.

Jump!

A pain!

Mu Ruosong said, "I won't leave,"

For a person who has made up his mind, Mu Ci can't force it, he can only sigh, close his eyes again, exhausted physically and mentally, and sink into the darkness.

Mou Yu waited for a while to make sure that Mu Ci was asleep this time, and then called Mu Ruosong out and let An Qing go in to keep watch.Said to him: "This time it was my mistake, I will explain to His Majesty."

Mu Ruosong hesitated a bit: "...Can't...don't tell me?" One more thing is worse than one less thing.

Mou Yu just shook his head, and said earnestly: "You are not the only smart person in this world. Moreover, never forget your identity and position."

The object of Mou Yu's loyalty is the God-given Emperor, and... Mou Yu said: "With His Highness's temper, I won't let me hide anything from His Majesty. Don't worry, you didn't deliberately spy on the news. Your Highness will protect you. It's okay." .”

Mu Ruosong believed this.

Mou Yu finally warned: "We martial arts practitioners should not bully the weak. Your Highness is weak and weak, so you should be more careful not to hurt him."

It's not that Mu Ruosong didn't know what to do, he accepted these points humbly, and said sincerely: "I see, thank you... and... I'm sorry!" He apologized for misunderstanding Mou Yu and for causing trouble.

Mou Yu waved his hand and went out.

……

Emperor Tianshou showed his power in the early morning today, but it was too late, Wei Zhong didn't dare to disturb him, didn't dare to say anything.So Mu Ci fainted, and Emperor Tianshou didn't come to visit in time.

After Emperor Tianshou transferred half of the six imperial armies away, he didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back when the catastrophe was turbulent.Moreover, King Ding's cooperation made him less afraid.

The rear was stable, and the Emperor Tianshou lost his temper at the court meeting, and threw those dictionaries on the faces of some court officials in court...all of them had some relatives or friends with the resigners.

Emperor Tianshou said sadly: "I care about the people of my family and country, and I believe everyone is the same. I don't want to be an official when I encounter disasters in the future. Don't hand in the resignation form. I tied myself and my family directly. I came to Beijing to apologize to the king."

The court officials dare not speak.

Emperor Tianshou was even more distressed, saying that the reason why he let the chief officer go to the embankment was because: "It's not that I don't care about everyone, it's just that I dreamed that the sky warned the day before yesterday that there will be a big flood this year."

When everyone was in doubt, Emperor Tianshou changed his face again, and his eyes shot a sharp light: "Since so many people are ready to abandon their homeland and people, I will not care about old feelings. I have declared that a state of emergency is now in place. Implement military control to resist this once-in-a-century flood..."

The ministers were in an uproar...

Tianshou Dili glanced at them, calmed everyone down, and said: "I have sent the imperial army to "assist" the chief officials from all over the country to fight the flood. I hope they will tighten the embankment."

Immediately, there were a few excited court officials who felt that the warriors had committed crimes against the literati, and more and more officials spoke out, the censor impeached, and some excitedly fell to the ground and cried.The whole court was in chaos.

Emperor Tianshou couldn't control such a scene, so he wasted his 30 years of prestige. He wrote lightly: "If you are angry for the chief officials of various places, you can replace them and go to the embankment to strengthen the embankment."

I don't mind at all.

The Emperor Tianshou could do what he said, and the court was suddenly dumb, no one dared to say anything in person...

When the Emperor Tianshou is ruthless, it's best not to mess with him.

Then there is public opinion.In the mansion newspaper, Zhao Rui wrote a full-fledged "Allegory of Officials and Soldiers Fighting Floods", explaining how the emperor was moved by the dream, the heavens warned him, why he let the chief officer go to the embankment, and why he sent troops...ah, it's not to suppress, but Go help.Then he praised the spirit of the officials who took the initiative to go to the embankment, and spread their thoughts of worrying about the country and the people, the character of the literati, and so on throughout the country.

This metaphor, along with the report of the residence, flew to various places. For a while, Shilin and the people praised the chief official of Shangdi, and many people even carried boiled eggs, went to the embankment to express their condolences .

If you don't find it on the embankment... just keep finding it, the common people are very enthusiastic.

What a good official of our great fortune, please eat eggs!

Grand Master Lu, the Prime Minister of Zuo who came to listen to the government with his sick body, also joined, and he and his students wrote a lot of praise articles...

The prestige of both Zhao Rui and Lu Taishi in Shilin ranks in the top five.

The public opinion overwhelmingly praised the correctness, nobility, and devotion of the chief official to go to the embankment after death.

In fact, in Daxing, officials with real strength of character, even if the emperor did not force them, would go to the embankment to patrol the embankment, such as Wang Youlun.

He is the number one minister of water conservancy in the Taixing platoon, and there has never been a breakthrough in the land under his jurisdiction, which is also a big plus point for his political achievements.The reason is that the flood control work is in place or even exceeded... Every spring and summer flood, he lives on the embankment, vowing to live and die with the people.

Later, Emperor Tianshou put forward the policy of "in the future, if there is a flood, the chief officials will go to the embankment, and they are not allowed to resign during the disaster", and everyone did not have any objection-should it be.It's just that the imperial court didn't have hard and fast rules before, and it all depended on the self-consciousness of the official.Now that there is a major disaster, but it is not the time to care about personal gains and losses, everyone has to go to the embankment.

The courtiers had no choice but to send troops to suppress and express dissatisfaction with the Emperor Tianshou, who had no choice but to express their dissatisfaction with the "chief official on the embankment". It is obvious that they do not respect the ministers.

The other dissatisfaction of the courtiers is that although the flood disaster has a clue, it has not yet started. Who knows if it is a catastrophe, and whether it is necessary to work so hard?

It's not good to make people's hearts fluctuate.

However, Emperor Tianshou repeatedly emphasized that "God entrusted a dream" and sent troops, which made everyone nervous. Many ministers also had nightmares such as catastrophic floods and dikes being washed away, which proved to be true.

In ancient times, superstition was placed before science.

These days, if you want to popularize science according to Mu Ci's scientific explanation, people will say that you are supernatural.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

……

It was late in the morning, and it was almost time for lunch, when Emperor Tianshou heard that Jiulang had fainted, and just as he was about to visit, Mou Yu came over.

Knowing that Mu Ci was fine, she just worked hard and fell asleep.Emperor Tianshou said: "Then let Jiulang have a good rest." Resisting the idea of ​​visiting, so as not to disturb.

Mou Yu reported his mistake again.

After hearing this, Emperor Tianshou didn't care about it, and said: "You should be more cautious in doing things. As for Asong, he is a good and sensible boy. He will become Jiulang's confidant in the future, and he will only know more. It's okay. Send more people Just watch it."

Even if he wanted to please his son, he would not easily touch Mu Ci's people. Who told his son to protect his weaknesses?Emperor Tianshou couldn't help laughing, he really looks like me.

Mou Yu asked again: "So, the news from the north...do you want to let King Ding know?"

Emperor Tianshou thought about it carefully, finally nodded, but said: "Don't tell him quietly, just send someone to tell him, and then let him come to me."

Mou Yu nodded.

……

King Ding told Mu Ruosong about being tempted, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear that he and King Changle had turned against each other. It was simply determined to stay in the palace.

Prince Xian saw Wang's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and dared not breathe.Even though Chaoyang was favored, he still had a drum in his heart, and said cautiously: "Father, it's not so serious, Ah Ci is a very good person, and he is not a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Would you be too cruel if you don't let Ah Song go home?" How sad Ah Song and sister-in-law will be..."

"You think of people's hearts too simply and beautifully." King Ding sighed.

He worked desperately for most of his life, clinging tightly to the military power of the 10,000+ Imperial Army in his hands, is it just love for power?He is for this family, and he is somewhat unwilling - his hands are bloody, why should others enjoy everything, but he has to hand over everything, like General Yang, guarding a courtyard in Lishan to tend flowers and plants, peace of mind What about retirement?

He is a big man with ideals and abilities, why can't he fight on the battlefield and drink wine with a smile?

"Father, don't think of people so badly. If Ah Ci is greedy for the power of the palace, I'm not enough?" Chaoyang will definitely do his best to help Mu Ci.

King Ding looked at this daughter whose elbows were bent outward, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Silly daughter, you really think that King Changle is a simple person, look at him holding your uncle's heart in his hands." As a matter of fact, the pregnant concubine Wen was sent to the palace far away, and she was not allowed to return to the palace for two months. It is said that..." Prince Ding can't say anything about politics before it becomes clear, it's not that he doesn't dare , but for the sake of their children, it is better not to let them know what they should not know.

King Ding said: "In short, King Changle is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. I understand in my heart that the eldest grandson of Prince Ding's mansion is the real money. What about you? It's just a married daughter. What's the use in critical times?"

Having a daughter not only loses money, but is also a scam.

Chaoyang glared at King Ding for several times before getting discouraged. What King Ding said was the truth, she was the wife of the royal family.

"I have brought back my dowry, and I will go to reconcile tomorrow, and come home to eat up all the food at home." Chaoyang said angrily.

Xian Shizi's heart of gossip was burning, his eyes lit up: "Sister, do you have a new love?"

"No."

"If you don't have a new love, what are you and Li, you have to find someone else to step on that stupid pig." Ding Wang hated that iron can't be made into steel, and taught his daughter earnestly, "I'm not afraid that you will be laughed at. Second marriage and third marriage are not counted. It's just that it's an eventful season now, although Pingnanhou's mansion is ruined, it doesn't matter, it's just good to avoid the limelight." Ding Wang was afraid that his daughter would come home at this time, if in case...wouldn't it be a big deal?

Fortunately, the law is not too harsh, and the crime of punishing the nine clans is not as serious as a married woman.

Chaoyang: "..." Although I was moved, it felt weird, as if King Ding was planning about his death at this moment.

For the treasures and antiques that his family had saved up with great difficulty, Xian Shizi also earnestly taught from the sidelines: "My dear boy, don't make up if you don't find another family. In this way, no matter what you do out of the ordinary, you won't be able to settle accounts with us, and you won't be able to settle accounts." You don't need to lose our people. You can lose the face of the Wang family casually."

Chaoyang was so angry that he pinched Shizi Xian's waist and eyes with all his strength. If he can't beat his father, why can't he beat you?

Xian Shizi yelled and begged for mercy.

Seeing the energetic children, King Ding was in a better mood, and said: "Since Ah Song has chosen the path, let's go forward. Although the child has made progress since childhood, after all, he grew up in the palace without going through storms... Well, if you don’t leave home and don’t do anything, you won’t be able to grow up. I can live for another two years. No matter how the future changes, I still have the ability to save his life. Chaoyang, you can teach him more when you enter the palace. Don't be so sincere, you will give your heart and soul to everyone." Thinking about it is unreliable, my daughter has already poured her heart and soul to Mu Ci, isn't this a free gift?

But he also had nothing to do with these two silly children, so he had to tell Mr. Xian: "Restrain everyone in the family, don't meet Ah Song in private, even if you act like you have to do it, not only to avoid disaster for the family, but also for Ah Song Good. Tell your daughter-in-law to comfort the eldest daughter-in-law more, don't worry about it too much."

It is a last resort for King Ding to prohibit Mu Ruosong from going home now.

One is to put on a posture, let Tianshoudi know that he is angry in his heart, and don't always treat him like a persimmon.The second is to make everyone believe that Prince Ding's Mansion has given up on Mu Ruosong, showing that he is not biased towards the Ninth Prince's neutral position.The third is for Mu Ruosong's good, to reduce his weight, so as not to be used by "thieves".

"Giving up" now is actually a kind of "preservation".

"Oh..." Prince Xian deserved to be reluctant.

His aunt knew that Prince Ding would not let Ah Song go home, and she was still crying right now.Without a husband, how could he forget about his only hope?

King Ding also knew that he was not willing to give up the only root of his eldest son, and said seriously: "Be kind to the mother, but harm the child instead. Your daughter-in-law is a sensible one. Tell her to break it up and tell your sister-in-law about the stakes." Clearly, the King of Changle cannot touch it."

……

"You guys are too prejudiced!" Chaoyang was furious, not believing that Mu Ci, who was sincere and sincere, would have evil thoughts.

"Hey, you're too emotional, you don't understand... how tragic the five kings' chaos was, not only the enemy was bleeding, but we also shed a lot of blood, you two uncles... I can't just give you one for Ah Song. One family brings trouble." In order to pave the way to the sky, King Ding has too many evil spirits under his command, but victory and luck will not always favor one side, so...Ding King also shed a lot of blood.

King Ding's expression was solemn: "It's very difficult for the king of Changle to stand out. At that time, your uncle had a soldier in his hand, and it took more than ten years of careful planning to get lucky... But what does the king of Changle have? With your uncle's favor, what can you do?" Can it last for a long time? Even if he is powerful, he can! Why should our family be used as a weapon by his son after finishing the knife in Lao Tzu's hand?"

Chaoyang couldn't refute it at all.

Yes, why?

King Ding had chosen the third prince before, and after all, he was a "leader", so it was more reliable.Now that Emperor Tianshou prefers King Changle, he must not be able to hold back the etiquette and courtiers... Even if he can, the Emperor Tianshou does not have much time, so it is impossible to arrange it calmly.

King Ding is not optimistic about King Changle, he is afraid of falling into the mud, who knows that his grandson will be fascinated?

King Ding finally told his sons and daughters: "Now that half of the imperial army has been transferred out, I won't say much about what it means. In short, you should be more careful in your actions. You must be cautious."

Xian Shizi agreed with Chaoyang and walked out.

King Ding was alone in the conference hall, planning his next move, when suddenly Feng Yi brought a person to meet... King Ding was taken aback.This person is a spy he placed at the top of the night guard, was he discovered?

But the spy didn't show any clues on his face, he shook his head secretly at King Ding, took out a small paper tube, and said in a businesslike way: "Your Majesty ordered me to give it to you, please have a look."

King Ding remained calm, took a piece of paper in the small paper tube and opened it to read, then his pupils shrank sharply, and his heart beat violently, but he suppressed his emotions, calmed down, and after thinking about it for a long time, he asked the spy: "Is the news acceptable?" letter?"

The spy nodded: "Although the Beirong people live by the water, the royal court has not been moved for a hundred years, but this year, the Sanna River, the father of the Beirong River, suddenly changed its course, and the waters around the royal court were about to dry up, so they were forced to move the capital. So... all the time. The body of King Zhongyong, who was stored in the ice cellar of the royal court, will be buried in the sky, the news is true."

King Zhongyong is the late Zhenshizi.Beirong's "storage" of a corpse in Wangting's ice cellar is not a pervert, but a "repression".The great shaman of Beirong used the corpse of Zhen Shizi, who had the blood of the royal family, to do it in the ice cellar of the royal court, in order to "suppress" the luck of the Mu family royal family.Although the function is unknown, it is disgusting enough and has sinister intentions.

Maybe King Ding will go crazy, and Emperor Tianshou is also uncomfortable. The current royal court of Beibei Rong is relatively far away and unable to conquer.

King Ding hammered the table and gritted his teeth: "Too much bullying! Too much bullying!"

The spy said: "Your Majesty asked what you mean, if there is any way, I can go to the palace for a meeting."

King Ding saw that the spy didn't mean "dangerous" in particular, so he nodded: "Understood, you go down."

The spy retreated, and King Ding asked Feng Yi who had brought the man in: "What do you think, is this a coincidence or a conspiracy?"

Feng Yi was once Zhen Shizi's most trusted confidant, and he was also heartbroken and angry. His eyes turned red and he said: "The matter of moving the capital is not a trivial matter. It is impossible to make it up. It's just Shizi's..." Feng Yi choked up. I didn't try hard to bring people back, and I tried all the methods but failed. I really don't know what else to do.

It has been so many years, and King Ding has already passed the hurdle of grief, and fell into a long meditation, motionless, as if turned into a statue of meditation.
