Shadow Guard stand-in

"Brother Jue is like this, don't you want to imitate the favor of the former tyrant's house?" The concubine said in a hurry.

He Jue's eyes darkened, "Princess Tai, please be careful with your words."

After all, the concubine came back to her senses, thinking that the emperor in front of her was not brought up by her own hands, there was an insurmountable gap between the two, no matter how close they were, there was a difference between strangers, and I am afraid that her biological mother was worse than Xiao Shu who had to die Queen Qin.

She couldn't hide her sadness, and softened her tone, "Forget it, Aijia is talking too much. You are young and vigorous, and you can't tolerate others if you like it. This is natural. Aijia can understand, but now you are the king of a country and the world. If you are the lord of the lord, you can’t be trapped by love, and you have the opportunity and weakness to be attacked by others. It doesn’t matter if you don’t choose Zhong’s daughter, other aristocratic daughters should also pick a few women with both ability and political integrity, and fill the harem early. You have been on the throne for several years , the back position is vacant, and the previous dynasty will be in turmoil. If there are no more children... there is no guarantee that someone with a heart will not take the opportunity to make trouble. Brother Jue, the Ai family is for your own good."

These words can be said to be earnest, and He Juegong complied, "I understand the concubine's intentions, and I will properly consider this matter."

Having said that, there is no need to mention it.

The concubine wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Jue's indifferent expression, and the two walked back together.

Hearing cicadas singing and birds singing along the road, he felt more and more upset and irritable, and they were speechless, and they sent them back to Shoukang Palace, and He Jue hurried back to Qinzheng Palace.

The concubine ordered the palace servants to bring iced drinks, "Your Majesty is not resistant to heat, use some iced drinks to cool off the heat."

He Jue had no choice but to stay and sit for a while, the two of them were relatively speechless.

After a while, the concubine couldn't help asking: "I haven't seen any woman your Majesty has been in contact with in recent years. The one who walks around the most on weekdays is either the Qi family or Princess Zhao. Years ago, they made a fuss about reforming the draft system. The Ai family is really puzzled." , who on earth has such a great ability to hold His Majesty's heart?"

He Jue thought of Qi Lezhi, and his face softened a little, but pain followed, "It's okay not to mention it."

The concubine looked at He Jue's expression, and knew that the words of her sweetheart seemed to be false, she said: "The left and right autumn elections are less than two months old, Your Majesty should remind Ai's family to make preparations, so that they will not enter the palace in the future. Score."

He Jue felt unhappy, "If there is a day when he enters the palace, it is better for the concubine not to have too much contact. I have used iced drinks, and the small kitchen in Shoukang Palace is really good." , I still have something to do, so go back to Qinzheng Hall first."

He stood up and walked straight out, ignoring the concubine.

The serving palace people bowed and knelt to see him off, and the concubine sat at the head, watching He Jue go out blankly, until she was no longer seen.

"This child..."

The palace servants around helped the concubine to get up, "It's time to rest in the afternoon, concubine."

"Is he not close to Aijia?"

The palace servants didn't dare to answer, the concubine sighed, "The Zhong family can't decline like Ai's family..."

When He Jue returned to Qinzheng Hall, the books sent by Zhongshushe were piled up again, neatly divided into different categories, and one only had to glance to know that there were more books of that type again.

"Bring the wine." He Jue ordered in displeasure.

The palace people of Qinzheng Palace did not dare to be negligent, and the imperial wine was delivered quickly.

He Jue drank alone and drove all the palace people out of the palace.

He should have understood that one day things will not go his way, not even the emperor.As soon as the seams of the draft are torn open, those aristocratic families will do everything possible to exert their strength on it, seeking for themselves the prosperity and wealth of the next few decades and even the next generation of monarchs.

The concubine was just acting a little impatient, but now which one is ready to make a move, even Qi Lezhi came to listen to him.

In this world, no one really cares about his thoughts. The person hidden in his heart is happy to get married, and he still wants to send blessings with a smile on his face. It's really aggrieved.

He Jue drank several cups in a row, becoming more and more unhappy.

The weather in June is hot and unbearable, and it is even more stuffy in the afternoon, as if it is engulfing people.

The pain of falling out of love that was suppressed in the bottom of my heart was overwhelming at this moment, and even the drink I was drinking was so bitter that my tongue hurt.

Or go one's own way and offend the people of the world, but how difficult is it to block everyone's mouth?He is the monarch of the world, he promises everything, how can he take back the will he put forward in his own handwriting?

Or just follow those people's thoughts, canonize the concubines wantonly, and reproduce the emperor's heir even after the rain and dew, so just be a Shoucheng emperor obediently.Anyway, the world is settled, decades have passed by, and it is not a bad idea to wait until the moment you close your eyes to review the merits and demerits of this life.

However, for the latter, He Jue thought he couldn't do it, and was unwilling.

He has great ambitions, how can he be a mediocre emperor who obeys his wishes?If you can't make decisions about the harem, how can you prohibit the government affairs of the previous dynasty?

If too many factors from the previous dynasty affect me, can I still realize my so-called ideals?In fact, the matter of love is light, he really shouldn't think about it, he shouldn't relax his vigilance just thinking that everything has been stable in the past few years.After all, the conflict between the aristocratic family and the imperial power is an indelible gap. He has no skills at his own disposal. If he wants to deal with the power struggle, how can he devote himself to serving the country and the people?

The more He Jue drank, the more sad he became, wishing he could get drunk now.

Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, the palace people guarded tremblingly, no one dared to step inside.

The imperial wine was sent into the three altars, and He Jue issued an order not to allow anyone to enter, let alone spread it out. They could only listen to the order with sharp ears, but there was no movement inside.

"It's been two hours, Master." The little palace man was very disturbed, "Has Your Majesty always drank like this? This servant has never heard of it."

The calm expression on the old palace man's face was somewhat unstoppable, "Just wait."

"But seeing that the sky is getting dark, if His Majesty is drunk, the servants have to go in to serve him. Otherwise, the dragon's body is bad, and dozens of boards are light. Now that the concubine has returned to the palace, the palace will naturally It's not as easy as it used to be..."

A black shadow flashed past, turning over from the half-opened window and entering, his figure was so neat and clean that one couldn't see his face clearly.

Xiao Gongren's voice stopped abruptly, "Master, did you see anything just now?"

The old palace man raised his eyebrows, "What do you see?"

"There are assassins, quickly call Habayashi Wei to escort!" Xiao Gongren screamed in a shrill voice, panicked all over.

Almost instantly, the old palace man grabbed his arm and covered his mouth, "Shut up if you want to lose your head!"

"Master, you..." Xiao Gongren's face turned pale, his black eyes rolled away, and he thought of countless ways to force the palace to assassinate the story, but it turned blank in the next second.

"That's Lord Shadow Guard." Lao Gong said humanely.

"Master Shadow... Shadow Guard?" The little palace man calmed down, and the old palace man let go of him, "Don't call me master if you don't grow up!"

"No, master, what... what's going on, Lord Shadow Guard doesn't take an unusual path?" The little palace man had countless question marks in his heart, "Your Majesty can order that no one should disturb you, Lord Shadow Guard dares to disobey the holy order? "

The old palace man gave him a blank look, "How many times have you defied, and this time is still missing?"

Xiaogong was puzzled, "I also ask Master to enlighten me."

The old palace man motioned him to look at the other palace people around him, and saw that they were motionless, looking at their noses, noses, noses and hearts, very obedient.

It was as if the black shadow just now had never appeared before.

"The holy decree is for us, not for Lord Shadow Guard. If you don't have eyes at this time, and disturb His Majesty by making a lot of noise, and His Majesty rewards you with anger, will you be wronged?"

The little palace man thought for a moment, "Isn't it an injustice?"

The old palace man sneered coldly: "I figured it out? How dare you call Habayashi Wei, not to mention whether Habayashi Wei will come or not, even if he does come, he will beat you up!"

The little palace man didn't want to be beaten, so he quickly flattered and thanked him.

The old palace man listened meaningfully, and then said with emotion: "We are looking forward to it, but don't we just look forward to the arrival of Lord Shadow Guard. Now that it is here, no matter how angry or unhappy His Majesty is, there will be Lord Shadow Guard to support you , we’ll just wait on our own.”

"This is an errand in the Palace of Qinzheng, so you have to be patient."

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Jin Jiuye turned in, searched around, and saw He Jue sitting on the ground with no image in the west corner.

He Jue hadn't drank like this for many years, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the knot with the concubine, or because of Qi Lezhi's love.

He was slightly drunk, and his mind was not too confused. When he saw Jin Jiuye, he was the first to speak: "You didn't take good care of your wounds, why did you come here?"

Jin Jiuye said: "The old man in the Imperial Hospital can't look down on his subordinates. The subordinates are very familiar with the palace. If you want to enter the Palace of Qinzheng, it's like entering the land of no one."

He Jue smiled, and got up from the ground, "Heh, did you come in through the window again? How many times have you said that you can't go through the main entrance?"

Jin Jiuye apologized slightly, "I'm used to it."

"Who is looking for you?" He Jue asked.

Jin Jiuye said: "I heard that the concubine left the master talking for a long time, so I will come over tonight to have a look."

"Come here to see what?" He Jue stretched out his foot and kicked an empty wine jar, Jin Jiuye looked down, drank about a jar and a half, and was still sober.

"Come and drink with the master."

He Jue laughed loudly when he heard the words, "It's very good, do you want to die?"

"No harm."

The two sat on the ground, He Jue removed the last jar, picked up the wine glass on the ground, poured two full glasses, Jin Jiuye took the glass, and the two drank it.

He Jue said: "I should have traveled the world with you back then."

Jin Jiuye said: "Then you won't be able to drink such good wine."

"It's okay, you and I, brothers, any wine is good wine." He Jue poured two more glasses and drank them with Jin Jiuye.

"Here, let me show you the invitation card that Qi Lezhi personally presented." He Jue picked up the red book not far from the ground and handed it to Jin Jiuye. Jin Jiuye looked at it, "Mr. Improved."

"Who told you to watch this?" He Jue was dissatisfied, "I can't get my sweetheart, but I still want to pretend to be a show with other women. It's really boring to be an emperor, why don't I follow you out of the palace."

"It's okay." Jin Jiuye thought for a moment, and really thought of a way, "It's not difficult to take the master out of the palace, but if the palace finds out that the master is not there, there will be chaos for a while, and the imperial guards of the Habayashi guards will be dispatched at that time. It takes some time to track whereabouts, and it won't stop for three to five years..."

He Jue held down Jin Jiuye, and said curiously, "Are you serious?"

Jin Jiuye raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.

He Jue smiled, "I'd rather be an emperor, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the life of fleeing."

Jin Jiuye nodded, and glanced at the invitation booklet again, "If the master is unhappy, or if the subordinates tie up Mr. Qi, the master can do whatever he wants."

"Have you thought about it seriously?" He Jue seemed quite interested.

Jin Jiuye said: "The subordinates can guarantee that they will not miss any traces and take Young Master Qi away. At that time, no one will know where Young Master Qi has gone. The master should find a suitable place to hide."

"Isn't Qi Lezhi called every day should not be, and the earth is not working?" He Jue slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing a hint of a smile.

Jin Jiuye hummed, "As long as the master orders."

"Aren't you asking me to be a fool and follow crooked ways?" He Jue raised his glass and drank with Jin Jiuye.

Jin Jiuye drank a cup, "Whether it's the righteous way or the evil way, as long as the master is willing, the subordinates will follow to the death."

He Jue shook his head, but refused after all, "Everything I put my heart into is nothing more than deliberate and ruthless. Even though I feel uncomfortable, I can't do things like kidnapping people. I have a full family of Qige elders, and I only respect him, and dare not say anything else."

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, hiccupped, and suddenly felt a little drunk.

"I don't want to be distracted by this matter anymore, but the matter has already been done, and the aftermath must be dealt with. I thought it was only one sentence away, but now that there are no people, I don't know what to do. Today the concubine is still alive I want you to accept Zhong's daughter as the queen, as well as the civil and military excerpts of the Manchu dynasty..."

He Jue poured wine from the wine jar, then stood up from the ground again, shaking slightly.

He walked to the desk, picked up a booklet and opened it for Jin Jiuye to read.

"Look, look, what's all this writing, such beautiful calligraphy, but what kind of stupid words are written? Everyone is afraid that I will not be lucky with his daughter, and I feel ashamed because of her ugly appearance. Read it After learning the art of calligraphy, why don't you think about how to benefit the country and the people, but focus on the emperor's heir?"

After saying that, He Jue was furious and drank heavily with the wine jar, Jin Jiuye hurriedly got up and stopped him, "Master."

The two faced each other and stood very close. He Jue leaned against the desk and slightly raised his head to look at Jin Jiuye. His eyes were a little blurred, but he could recognize the appearance of the person in front of him anyway.

"Brother Ye, help me with a play."
