This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Zhuo Ying completed the carving of that piece of camphor wood at the end of the winter month. Although some details were wrong in the midway, but fortunately the final product is not much different from what he imagined. As long as he pays more attention to the sandalwood carving, he should be able to catch up with it. Crack this gift before Wanshou.

Xing Chenmu has also been very busy in the past month, and he has decided on the people who will be sent to the northern border to support before the arrival of the twelfth lunar month.

To everyone's surprise, this time Xing Chenmu planned to call the Jinwei Army to support the Zhenbei Army, and Xing Chenmu also prepared all the food, grass and weapons listed in Wei Yan's memorial, even more prepared than Wei Yan's memorial. In order to be sufficient, even the military doctors that are lacking in the army are directly instructed by the Tai Hospital.

Holy will, there are people kneeling outside the Xuanming Hall every day, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Imperial Hospital take turns begging for an audience, and Xing Chenmu does not refuse. Whenever anyone comes, he will pass into the hall, but he will not accept their opinions. adoption.

After a few days of encountering soft nails, everyone probably understood Xing Chenmu's attitude, and the number of people who came gradually decreased.

On the fourth day, Xing Chenmu finally got the person he wanted to wait for—Zhang Qing, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital.

Two imperial physicians had already been here before, and Zhang Qing knew that the Holy Majesty would not be able to take back his order, but as a courtier, he still had to express his attitude to the unreasonable decision made by the Holy Majesty, so he came here, originally just wanting to leave Form, but for some reason, when he stepped into Xuanming Hall, the Holy One actually cleared out all the people in the original hall.

"Zhang Qing, do you know why I sent three imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to the Zhenbei Army?" Xing Chenmu sat on the main seat, squinting at the person in front of him.

Zhang Qing couldn't understand his thoughts, and said cautiously: "There are not enough military doctors in the Zhenbei Army, and the injured soldiers cannot receive timely treatment."

"This is naturally one of the points, but if that's the case, I can definitely transfer military doctors from other armies. Wouldn't it be more suitable than imperial doctors?"

Although the imperial physicians are all highly skilled in medicine, but because most of the patients they need to diagnose and treat are nobles, they are often better at difficult and miscellaneous diseases and recuperation and nourishing methods than trauma. His treatment is not much different from that of ordinary doctors, and it is really overkill to be transferred to the military camp.

This is also what the several imperial physicians who came before were puzzled by, and Xing Chenmu did not answer them.

Zhang Qing naturally didn't think about it, and just lowered his head: "The officials are stupid, and I hope the Holy One will give advice."

"I want you to send me something."

"Send, send something?" Zhang Qing was even more incomprehensible. This time, he was originally going to deliver a large amount of supplies to the Zhenbei Army. If there is any item that needs to be brought together, even if it is medicinal materials, he does not need to send it in person.

"Yes, but this kind of thing is a bit special." Xing Chenmu said and took out a delicate mechanism box from his arms.

The mechanism box is made of metal, covered with strange patterns all over the body. It is very delicately made. Zhang Qing has never seen it before. It seems to be a rare thing, but even so, he still doesn't understand: "The Holy Majesty wants me to give this thing away. Bring it to General Wei?"

"No, no one else can open this mechanism box. Even the sharpest weapon can't hurt it in the slightest. If it is to be given to General Wei, I can send reinforcements to it for me." Xing Chenmu paused and looked up. Zhang Qing, "Physician Zhang is an old minister who has served the emperor. He has met many people in the palace. Naturally, there are others who can't do it. I want you to see that person. You shouldn't have appeared in the army. You Now there is no need to ask too much, when you see someone in the Zhenbei Army, you will naturally know that you should give the things to him."

Zhang Qing understood Xing Chenmu's meaning, and trembled in fright: "This...but in this way, what should I do if the subordinate officials hand over things to others by mistake?"

"In the whole world, apart from me, that person is the only one who can open the box. When you hand over the things to him, let him open the mechanism in front of you."

"Understood, excuse me for talking too much, how long will I be able to return to this business?" Zhang Qing understands that Xing Chenmu's real purpose is not to ask them to go to the army to treat the wounded, I'm afraid it's just In order for me to deliver the box for him, as for the other two imperial physicians, it was just to deceive others.

"Since you've gone, stay there for a while longer. It's a fact that there is a shortage of military doctors in the army. When the border battle situation stabilizes, someone will naturally bring you back."

At this time, Eunuch Yan trotted in from outside the hall, leaned over to Xing Chenmu's ear and said softly, "My lord, Lord Zhuo is coming here."

Xing Chenmu nodded lightly when he heard the words, and asked someone to pass the trick box to Zhang Qing, saying: "Put the things away, and don't mention this to anyone after it goes out."

"The lower official understands that the lower official will never reveal half of it to outsiders."

Not long after Zhang Qing left, Zhuo Ying arrived. As usual, Xing Chenmu didn't let him hide in the dark, but sent out the two Shang Gong who had just entered to serve.

"How are you resting recently? Didn't I tell you not to come here so early?"

Ever since Zhao Zhongzheng's incident happened in Mingying Palace last time, Xing Chenmu realized that Zhuoying's daily rest time is really limited.

It was hard enough for him to be on duty every day and night. After returning to Naming Shadow Palace, apart from the daily training, he also needed to worry about the daily affairs of the Shadow Guard Army.

But he asked Zhuo Ying to get up later, and go directly to the Chengyang Palace to take turns at night, but the other party never listened.

Xing Chenmu wished he could stay with Zhuo Ying at [-] o'clock, staring at each other to have a good rest, but this is impossible now, he closed his eyes, and certain thoughts in his heart became more and more urgent.

"Return to the Holy Master, this subordinate has had enough rest."

"It's not enough, it's time to apply." Xing Chenmu waved at Zhuo Ying, "Come here and have a look."

Zhuo Ying guessed what he was going to do, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked forward according to the words, and let the man raise his hand to take off his mask.

Xing Chenmu's complexion sank, he pointed to the dark blue under his eyes and said, "Look, how can this be a good rest?"

This seems to have become a daily conversation between the two of them. Zhuo Ying has fair skin, and when she doesn't get enough rest, the dark spots under her eyes will be particularly obvious.

He also couldn't figure out how Xing Chenmu got into the habit of taking off his mask to check every day, but recently, in order to prepare for Xing Chenmu's birthday gift, he really couldn't rest on time, so he just said after holding back for a while: "Subordinates don't feel sleepy."

"There are thousands of people in the shadow guard army. If you have anything to do, you can just explain it. I will let you increase the number of shadow guards. Why don't you let you rest for a few more hours?"

Speaking of this, Zhuo Ying didn't care about other things, but began to worry: "Although the Holy Majesty agreed to increase the guards, you always keep people outside the hall. If something happens, they won't be able to save you in time."

At the beginning, it was clearly mentioned that personal guards should be added, but as far as Zhuo Ying knew, those people had limited time to stay by Xing Chenmu's side every day. Instead, they were kept outside the hall all the time, no different from the shadow guards in charge of guarding the courtyard. .

Xing Chenmu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What? Those subordinates of yours are still telling you about me?"

"They are just worried about the safety of the Holy One."

"Okay, if it's because of this that you don't want to rest more, I'll send someone into the hall to guard later, is that okay?" Xing Chenmu compromised helplessly.

Zhuo Ying was particularly persistent when it came to matters concerning Xing Chenmu's safety: "My lord, these are two different things. No matter whether your subordinates are resting or not, you should protect as many people as possible by your side."

Xing Chenmu wanted to say something else, but there was an announcement from outside, it was General Wei Lin asking to see him.

Zhuo Ying immediately brought back the mask, but Xing Chenmu didn't bring the person into the hall right away, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Zhuo Ying: "Go and bring the person back for me, just say that I'm not feeling well today, let him go another day Come again."

Xing Chenmu knew why Wei Lin came here, and Zhuo Ying could guess a little bit, but because of this, he hesitated for a moment, did not follow the other party's order, but knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, please see General Wei."

Xing Chenmu wants to transfer the Jinwei Army to the northern border. No matter how you think about it, it feels inappropriate. Although there are Shadow Guards in the imperial city, compared to the original Jinwei Army, the number is too small. If half of the Jinwei Army is sent The guards support the front line, although it will not affect the daily patrol, but for the entire imperial city, if someone takes the opportunity to break into it, it will be very dangerous.

"I know what you are thinking, but I have my own plans for this matter, and those people are not yet ready to force the palace. The palace is still safe for the time being." Xing Chenmu rubbed his brows as he spoke, "Zhuo Ying, you Do you believe me?"

"Yes." This time Zhuo Ying answered without hesitation.

"That's it. I'm not as incompetent as they think. There are some things that I don't want to explain now, but you will always understand in the future. I am really tired today. I don't want to see Wei Lin. You go out and replace me. Say."

"Yes." Zhuo Ying knelt on the spot for a long time before getting up and walking outside.

After he left, Xing Chenmu looked at his back with a complicated expression.

Xing Chenmu did not lie to Zhuo Ying, the palace is still safe for the time being, those people will not rush to send troops just because he transferred half of the Jinwei Army.

Maybe his abnormal behavior would cause them to be alert in the eyes of the other party, but that's okay, transferring away from the Jinwei Army is only the first step, and to burn the fire into the imperial city, a lot of firewood is still needed.

No one in the court could understand his actions. The ministers only felt that he acted impulsively and recklessly, and would not listen to advice. Some people might even look back and question the emperor's original decision to make him the crown prince.

Even the closest mother, queen mother and brother Wang will probably blame him when they find out about all his plans in the future.

There are many methods of An Chaotang to eradicate the chaotic party, but he chose the most dangerous one among them.

Xing Chenmu never hesitated in his heart, but it was Zhuo Ying who made him firm in his determination.

Empress Dowager, Xing Chenxiu, Zhuo Ying, he wants to protect too many people, he must make himself stronger faster, no matter how big the risk is or what the outcome is, Xing Chenmu has no plans to change his plan now, and now he can only hope that everything goes well. .....
