great mandate

Luo Jinyu was listening attentively, when suddenly a young man came across the courtyard and said to him: "You listen so earnestly, do you understand?"

This is the only son of Mr.

Luo Jinyu put down the bowl, got up and saluted him: "Senior Brother." He replied seriously, "Although I can't fully understand the meaning, I can perceive—"

"Okay, okay!" The boy quickly waved his hands, "Stop talking, I have a headache. Can't you tell that I'm teasing you?"

Luo Jinyu can hear it naturally, because this young man has always been naughty and always loves to tease himself.It's just that since he asked a question, Luo Jinyu answered it seriously.

"You're just too serious." The boy sighed and shook his head.

Luo Jinyu replied: "My mother has something to say, and people are afraid of being serious about worldly affairs."

"I'm quite afraid of you. With your temperament, I always feel bad." The boy said, "You should be more like a child, and play with us in the snow later—"

"Ming Lu!" The gentleman shouted from the corridor, "Don't try to encourage Jin Yu, just be naughty yourself, and always drag others along!"

Young Ming Lu made a face at Luo Jinyu, turned around and said, "I'm just talking to him."

Luo Jinyu couldn't help laughing as she watched her husband and Ming Lu bickering in the corridor.He didn't have a father since he was a child, so he didn't feel resentful or yearn for it. Now when he sees other people's father and son, he only thinks of himself and his mother.

……

Luo Jinyu stood alone in the heavy snow, looking back at her footprints in a daze.

In a daze, he saw the way his mother walked out back then.

When I looked at it intently, there were only my own footprints.

Mother is no more.

Luo Jinyu was in a daze for a while, and suddenly heard the rustling of carts and horses rolling on the snowy ground.

He withdrew his gaze and walked to the side of the road, only to see this gorgeous carriage stopped in front of him, and a young man in a golden crown and brocade robe came down, with tears in his eyes, he said excitedly: "Zi Shi!"

He stretched out his hand to pull Luo Jinyu, "It's cold in the snow, let's talk in the car."

Luo Jinyu avoided his hand, looked indifferent, and did not speak.

The young man resentfully said: "Zi Shi, I know that my father and others can't stand you, but I have already severed ties with them. I am me and they are them. Don't be angry with me because of them, okay?"

Only then did Luo Jinyu speak, and said: "Jun Ruoqing, your father and brother have a vengeance against my mother. I won't take my anger out on you, but I don't want to have any more contact with you."

Jun Ruoqing was startled when he heard the words, but it was because of Luo Jinyu's voice.

"Zi Shi, you—"

Luo Jinyu's voice used to be like a touch of gold and stone, but now she speaks hoarsely and indistinctly.

"I've already taken care of it, but they still torture you like this?" Jun Ruoqing said anxiously, her eyes were red, "Let's go to the doctor!"

Luo Jinyu avoided his hand again and said, "Stay away from me."

"Zi Shi—"

"If you feel ashamed of me, don't bother me anymore." Luo Jinyu said this, without looking at him, and slowly continued to walk towards the exit of the alley.

Jun Ruoqing chased after a few steps, then gradually stopped, looking at Luo Jinyu's thin back, his eyes became hot.

……

Shen Wuji was on duty in the palace just in time for the emperor to lose his temper.

The young emperor pushed all the memorials to the ground in the imperial study, and cursed: "They are all bastards!"

The eunuchs and maids stood outside the door with their hands down, looking at each other, seeing Shen Wuji coming, as if being pardoned, a little eunuch greeted him with small steps, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch Shen, Your Majesty—"

Shen Wuji raised his hand, indicating that he already knew the reason, and continued to walk in.

Shen Wuji came to the inner hall and saw the emperor sulking with his hands clasped, so he asked with a smile: "Today, Prime Minister Zuo is urging the emperor to be the empress again, or—"

"I am the king of a country, why should I be held down by them to drink water like a cow?" the emperor said angrily, "I married Chuchu, and I want to make Chuchu the queen, and I don't want this person's daughter, that person's daughter." Sister. Who do those old men think I am? Do you want to hang out with me? I don’t delay in state affairs. They control the world and the land, and even my house? Are you capable of sending their wives here!”

Shen Wuji: "..."

The emperor was twenty-eight, not the son of the late emperor, but the nephew of the late emperor. Before he took the throne, he had been an idle prince in a remote and barren fief.

Because of the poor fortune of the late emperor, the sons born all fought each other to death, and the late emperor died of anger because of this, so it was this one's turn.

There are other royal children to choose from, but this prince looks the stupidest, the least ambitious, and the least powerful. The wives he married are all daughters of folk butchers, and he seems to be the best to control, so he was selected and pushed to the throne.

He was in the fiefdom with poor mountains and rivers, and the northwest wind was blowing. He suddenly heard that the throne had fallen to him from the sky. Without further ado, he led his wife to the capital excitedly, but soon found that there were many rules here, and he was controlled by others everywhere. He was angry with birds every day, and even forced him to marry a wife and take concubines, so he clamored to go back.

But how could he not want the throne if he said no?

Once you come, it will be difficult to leave.

Fortunately, although the emperor was careless, he also understood righteousness. He knew that if he left, there might be chaos in the court due to the competition for the new king, so he stayed patiently.

It's just that he would not do it no matter what to let him abolish his wife.

The emperor wailed and sighed for a while, then sat on the dragon chair, looked at Shen Wuji who was bending over to pick up the memorial, and said with emotion: "It's better you, no one will force you to marry a wife, anyway, everyone knows about you."

Shen Wuji: "..."

He is the emperor, my backer, I can't beat him, scold him, or sneer.

Shen Wuji pretended not to hear, and continued to pick up the memorial.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the emperor said again: "Shen Wuji, have you ever really liked someone? Not the kind you like me, but out of love."

Shen Wuji: "..." For whatever reason, I don't like you, a fool.

But on his face, he said respectfully and softly, "Your Majesty, slaves are eunuchs."

"It's not about whether you have sex or not." The emperor said, "I just like it. Whether you have that thing or not, you can like others."

Shen Wuji got up, put the neatly stacked memorials on the imperial case, glanced at the inkstone and brush next to him, and thought of Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu could write well at a young age, and everyone was proud to have his calligraphy hanging in their homes.

Shen Wuji once asked Luo Jinyu for writing, and Luo Jinyu wrote him the word "root", but he tore it up, and even dropped Luo Jinyu's inkstone.

Later, Shen Wuji lost his temper, and bought an ancient inkstone that was said to be used by Wang Xizhi with a lot of money, and sent it to Luo Jinyu, who was thrown out of the door by Luo Jinyu. thing.

At that time, Luo Jinyu was full of arrogance and disdain to be with such a powerful official like him, lest she would dirty her sleeves.

However, Luo Jinyu is very kind to others.

Shen Wuji had seen Luo Jinyu helping a blind old man read home letters on the street, and he had also seen Luo Jinyu teaching a beggar to write names in an alley.Those beggars were unkempt, ragged, and had a disgusting smell, but Luo Jinyu seemed to be unaware of them, and would show them an encouraging smile.

However, if it's not ridicule, then Luo Jinyu has never smiled at Shen Wuji.

Even though Shen Wuji was already a big celebrity who was favored by the late emperor at that time, with brocade clothes and jade crowns, and incense all over his body, in Luo Jinyu's eyes, he was not as good as a beggar on the road.

In order to get closer to Luo Jinyu, Shen Wuji racked his brains.

He asked people to copy Luo Jinyu's new poems and Fu to read them carefully, and then wrote them earnestly without sleep or food, and then sent them to Luo Jinyu for reading, hoping that he could give him some guidance and take the opportunity to make some connections.

But when Luo Jinyu saw it, she was furious, and picked up a pen to write eight large characters on the paper: unrestrained, frivolous, shameless.

When Shen Wuji got this calligraphy, he was greatly frustrated for a while, and then had a flash of inspiration, and deleted the other seven characters, leaving only the word "Lian" framed, hung on the bedside, and regarded it as a treasure, and gradually felt that Luo Jinyu was really just a treasure. Wrote the word to myself.

But there were too few words, so Shen Wuji repeated his old tricks and wrote another Fu, which the little eunuch asked Luo Jinyu to comment on.

Luo Jinyu had heard this "interesting anecdote" that "Eunuch Shen used a trick to get a word" from the public a long time ago. She thought she had fallen into Shen Wuji's trap, and became angry from embarrassment. She hated Shen Wuji for being shameless. A green fur turtle is drawn upwards.

Shen Wuji thought about it, but he didn't think of how to make the green turtle look more gentle, so he hid it in the bottom of the cabinet resentfully, unable to show it off, which is extremely regrettable.

……

Shen Wuji heard the emperor urging himself to answer, and said in a low voice: "How can an eunuch deserve to like others."

"Really?" the emperor asked curiously, "If you lose your power, you won't have feelings?"

Going out of power, it's not that you have dug out your heart, how could you lose your feelings at all.Shen Wuji thought to himself.It's just that, after being castrated, others don't think he is qualified to like people, and even being liked by him is an unavoidable insult.

At least, that's what Luo Jinyu thought.

As for what others think, Shen Wuji doesn't care.

"Oh, you have one less worry." The emperor said, "It's different for me. Tell me, what should I do?"

Shen Wuji withdrew his thoughts, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you only need to bring out another matter to give them a headache, and they will have no time to talk about the matter of the Emperor's harem. What's more, you let them choose one, to choose to implement it." The New Deal still chooses to make the daughter of Da Sima the empress."

The emperor said: "You want me to threaten them with the New Deal?"

Shen Wuji smiled and nodded.

"But didn't you say that the New Deal is good?" The emperor frowned, "Then I won't implement the New Deal?"

"Originally, your Majesty, you will not be able to implement the New Deal for a while." Shen Wuji said slowly, "I don't understand too much, but looking at the New Deal regulations, I always feel that there are still many shortcomings, and I am afraid that improvement is still needed. Therefore, you can temporarily Throw it out as a shield. In the future, the queen has already given birth to a prince, and her position is stable. The daughter of the great Sima, the younger sister of the general, and the like are all old and married, and they will not be able to threaten the queen. At that time, you will not be able to implement the New Deal again. Night."

The emperor pondered and said: "You are right." Then he said, "Fortunately, you are by my side to advise me, otherwise, I would really have a headache."

Shen Wuji smiled and said: "This slave is terrified."
