This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Xing Chenmu and Xing Chenxiu walked towards the main hall together, and suddenly stopped before stepping into the main hall: "I almost forgot about this..."

"what?"

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid you don't know yet. I heard that my second brother, your second brother, is still imprisoned in the Ningyuan Mansion."

"Xing Chenang?" Xing Chenxiu really didn't care much about the movements of those two people after leaving the palace, and he was very surprised when he heard this, "How did he get involved with Ning Yuan?"

"Ning Yuan has been using them to manipulate the imperial grandmother." Xing Chenmu sneered, "I also happened to find out about them because of the attack on the Shangqing Temple, but now that Ning Yuan's situation is gone, I don't want to kill the second brother."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhuo Ying who followed him: "Send a famous shadow guard to Ningyuan's mansion, take my token, and release my second brother first. It is not appropriate to make public about this matter. If you tell it, you will lose it." My royal face."

After ordering Zhuo Ying, Xing Chenmu entered the main hall with peace of mind.

The main purpose of today's early court is to reward meritorious deeds.

General Wei Lin fought with the late emperor in the south and north, and made great achievements in battle, and now he has made great achievements in saving his family, so he was specially named Changping Marquis.

General Li Yuanmo led the troops and fought against the rebels for many days, and he served in escorting him. He was named Zhongyi Bo, and he was allowed to resign from the post of Jinwei General to heal his wounds in peace.

The former Guanwei Army commanded Ning Yuan, plotted wrongdoing, committed rebellion, and implicated the nine clans. His Guan Weijun, all generals above rank six were taken into custody and handed over to Dali Temple for trial. All other soldiers who took the initiative to participate in the rebellion were executed. Frontier, never to enter Luan City again.

The military status of the Guanwei Army was sealed, and all the remaining Guanwei Army who did not participate in the rebellion were merged into the Jinwei Army. The daily patrols of Luan City were under the unified jurisdiction of the Jinwei Army. Since then, Ran Ying has nothing to do with the Guard Army.

At the same time, Xing Chenmu directly appointed Wei Yan as General Jinwei. From the first-rank military position, Li Tu, the former deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, was promoted to General Zhenbei, and Lu Yishui, the former general of the Zhenbei Army, was promoted to the deputy general.

And for all the other official vacancies caused by this rebellion, Xing Chenmu also found competent people to fill them one by one.

Every monarch will cultivate his own confidant ministers. Xing Chenmu has not made any big moves in the three years since he took office. Originally, the courtiers only thought that he was seeking stability and did not have too many ideas. Now that this decision is made, everyone has figured out the way.

It's not that there is no idea, this is a well-planned plan, just waiting for the official position to be vacated so that he can insert a few officials whom he single-handedly selected.

The Wei family is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of this award.

The ministers were secretly startled. At this time, the Holy Majesty's far-sighted scheming and calmness had already exceeded their understanding of this young emperor who had just reached his weak crown.

But before they digested the successive transfers, Xing Chenmu issued another imperial decree that shocked everyone.

Feng Yong'an Wang Xing Chenxiu was appointed as the assistant king. During the period when Xing Chenmu was convalescing, all affairs in the court were taken care of by the assistant king. After he recovered from his injury, the assistant king still had the right to discuss government affairs with him.

Even Xing Chenxiu was stunned by the imperial decree. When the two were in Xuanming Palace, Xing Chenmu didn't mention the co-government king at all. Opportunities for opposition.

But even though the imperial decree had been issued, Prime Minister Gongsun Mingde still stood up and persuaded: "My lord, there has never been a co-government king in history. It is difficult to define rights. I think it is very inappropriate. Please think twice."

"This is the result of my thinking twice." Xing Chenmu looked at the prime minister and said, "There has never been a co-regent in history, but a regent has appeared in all dynasties. There is not much difference between the two, and the rights are not difficult to define. Since it is the duty of acting as the Son of Heaven for the time being, it can be done first and then acted upon. Any state affairs, the auxiliary king can make his own decision first, and then report to me."

This is obviously not the answer the prime minister wanted to hear. He did not compromise, and still knelt in the middle of the hall. Many officials behind him couldn't help but want to speak up, but Xing Chenmu didn't give them another chance, waved his hands and said directly: " I'm tired, if there's anything to do next, the lovers will directly discuss it with the assistant king, and we'll be here today."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at the crowd again, and turned around and left the hall first in an unquestionable gesture. Behind him, Yan Qing raised his voice and shouted: "Back to court——"

The court affairs were handed over to Xing Chenxiu, and the memorial was sent directly to his mansion. Xing Chenmu went back to Chengyang Hall to rest, but not long after he went to bed, Zhuo Ying said inwardly: "Your Majesty, send it to the Ningyuan Mansion. people are back."

It's just that he looked a little hesitant.

Seeing him like this, Xing Chenmu guessed in his heart: "What's wrong? But what happened to my second brother?"

"Yes, that..." Zhuo Ying didn't know how to address him for a moment, and then said after a pause, "That Mr. Xing hanged himself in Ningyuan's mansion."

Xing Chenmu frowned slightly, the result was far beyond his expectation, after a while, he asked, "Are you sure you hanged yourself?"

"Young Master Xing left a suicide note, which seems to be specially intended for His Majesty." Zhuo Ying said, presenting the carefully checked letter to Xing Chenmu.

Xing Chenmu unfolded the letter, and it turned out to be his second brother's handwriting.

Xu expected that the raiders would arrive soon. Xing Chenang's letter did not contain much content. It simply summed up his life. When he was young, he was forced to obey his mother and concubine. After being expelled from the palace, he began to obey the emperor's grandmother again. Yes, and then they can only do things according to Ning Yuan's wishes.

And he even fell in love with Ning Yuan who imprisoned him...

At the end of this suicide note, Xing Chenang wrote that although he had feelings for Ning Yuan, he still didn't want Ning Yuan to succeed in usurping the throne, and he didn't want their Xing family's world to fall into the hands of outsiders. .

Now such an ending is actually the best for him, he only wishes to be born in the family of ordinary people in the next life, so that he can have someone who treats each other sincerely and stays together for the rest of his life.

"I didn't expect the second brother to end up like this in the end."

Xing Chenmu sighed a little, he had not been close to Xing Chenang since childhood, but after all, blood is thicker than water, no matter what, he never really wanted the other party's life.

But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more.

"Light a brazier and burn this suicide note." After a while he said again, "Send someone to bury the second brother's body, set up a monument without writing, prepare some paper money, make a few sets of clothes and burn them to him After Ning Yuan's execution, I will dig a hole next to my second brother's grave and bury it in it, and it will be my last gift to my second brother."

"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it."

Xing Chenmu thought, brother, this is probably all he can do for Xing Chenang.

I don't know how long it has passed, but he suddenly asked again: "Aying, do you also have such worries?"

"What?" Zhuo Ying was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xing Chenmu was asking.

"I'm worried that I will have Sannomiya and Sixth Court."

Zhuo Ying didn't speak for a while, Xing Chenmu stepped forward and brushed his broken hair behind his ears: "I want to hear the truth."

"In the past, I didn't dare to expect extravagantly, but my subordinates kept telling me that the duty of my subordinates was to protect the safety of the Holy Majesty. As for who you choose as your empress and how many concubines you have, how could your subordinates be able to say anything?" Zhuo Ying said in a low voice. It seems that because of the thought of the previous state of mind, there was a little sadness in the eyes, but he quickly raised his head and smiled, "Later... Later, the Holy Majesty said to the Queen Mother that he will only love one person in this life, and his subordinates will only have one person left. Envy, envy that 'woman' who can be loved by the Holy One."

Xing Chenmu also laughed, and corrected: "It's not a woman. What about now?"

Zhuo Ying fell into silence again, and Xing Chenmu didn't urge him, but waited patiently for an answer. After waiting for a while, the man in front of him suddenly stepped forward, kissed him on the side of his cheek, and quickly backed away after a short touch. : "Now, the subordinates believe in the Holy One, and what the Holy One says is what it is."

Xing Chenmu blinked in disbelief, and it took a while to realize what Zhuo Ying had done. A smile spread all over his face, and he said seriously to Zhuo Ying, "In this life, there will only be A Ying alone. Love is inevitable."

Not only Xing Chenmu was surprised, Zhuo Ying was also shocked by his bold behavior, but he really just followed his inner thoughts, not only Xing Chenmu would have the desire/desire to get close, he would naturally want to get close to each other , but this kind of thought is suppressed by him most of the time.

After hearing Xing Chenmu's words, he nodded slightly, and said softly: "This subordinate is also..."

Xing Chenmu asked Xing Chenxiu to act as an agent of the government because he wanted to travel with Zhuo Ying among the people for his own selfishness, and he also intended to let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty see the ability of the assistant king and establish Xing Chenxiu's prestige in the court.

As for how to deal with those old ministers, this is what Xing Chenxiu should worry about, and Xing Chenmu will not bother.

In the next few days, while Xing Chenmu was recuperating in bed, he began to order people to prepare for the southern tour.

It is not suitable for Zhuo Ying to show her true face to others. Whether she wears a mask or covers her face with a cloth handkerchief, it is very eye-catching among the people. When Xing Chenmu first thought of going out of the palace in micro-clothes, he sent someone to find people from the Jianghu who are good at disguise. , spent a high price to customize a human skin/mask.

Although it is called human skin/mask, it is not really made of human skin, but a special material similar to skin quality, which can be completely fitted to the face after wearing it, changing the original appearance and making people invisible .

The day after the mask was made and sent to the palace, Zhuo Ying specially invited Xing Chenxiu to have a pulse diagnosis for Xing Chenmu to confirm that his body was indeed fine, so he was completely at ease.

It was night, and the imperial city was quiet and peaceful, except for the occasional chirping of cicadas that were unique to midsummer. A crescent moon hung in the sky, dotted with stars around it, making the moonlight extraordinarily bright.

A luxurious carriage driving out of the palace broke the tranquility. The Jinwei Army guarding the Nanning Gate had already received a secret order from Wei Yan. The token that the person took out, immediately opened the palace gate and let it go.

The carriage drove past the empty street, and left Luan City smoothly after about half an hour.
