In the fifth year of Ding'an, on the fifth day of the seventh month, an urgent report came from the guard of the old capital——

On the second day of July, Prince Jing’s Mansion suddenly sent troops, joined forces with Prince Yun’s Mansion, attacked from left to right, and divided up Northern Jingzhou with lightning speed. .

The next day, the cloud bandit Yue Tuo sent troops into the Qinling Mountains.

Before sending out troops, Yin Yu, an imperial envoy, was bound in front of the formation, and Yue Tuo raised a knife in his hand and dropped it, blood staining the king's flag.

After reading the urgent report three times, Yue Yu put down the notebook calmly, and glanced at Gongqing who was sitting in the hall: "Yin Qing, my condolences."

The monarch's voice is indifferent and cold, which makes one feel cold and heartless in one's ears, and chills in the bottom of one's heart.

The minister in the hall lowered his head instantly, his posture became more respectful and cautious.

They couldn't help but be careless. At the beginning of the year, His Majesty quietly sent the eldest son of the Shen family who was quite favored, along with Prince Yun's son, to Jiangbei. Looking at it now, within half a year, Prince Yun's son had already passed May [-]th.

The eldest son of the Shen family was appointed Dafuda, but he came back after a narrow escape, but Su Shuo and his son, who were former academicians of the University of Political Affairs, lost their lives because of him.

Mixed in the officialdom, who doesn't have a few little sixes in their hearts?

They believed that Su Shuo and his son intercepted and killed Shen Lanqing, but they couldn't believe that Su Shuo colluded with King Yun to plot a rebellion.

Su Shuona, who regards Confucian saints as gods, is so lonely and pedantic that he is almost paranoid. How can he do something that betrays loyalty, filial piety and righteousness?

It's just that seeing that the holy will has been decided and can't be changed, no one comes forward to follow and make people feel ashamed.

In private, a group of ministers often speculated about the Holy Will, wondering where the Su family father and son had offended the Holy Majesty, but the more they speculated, the more confused they became.

At this time, seeing that the Holy Majesty had read the urgent report from the old capital, and sent his condolences to the senior scholar Yin, Zhu Qing thought he understood in an instant.

Su Dashi's father and son were strangled, and the only son of the Yin family was sent to King Yun as a sacrifice to rebel. His Majesty turned out to be a powerful minister who controlled the government before liquidating his own government!

No wonder!

It's no wonder that Prince An has refused to go to court to discuss matters since His Majesty took charge...

His Majesty's own uncle is so cautious, how dare outsiders like them dare to act presumptuously?

In case the monarch is displeased one day, after touching their lips and cutting off their own family, will they go to the underworld to talk to the king of hell, or should they be like the great scholar Yin, with tears in their old eyes, enduring the pain of losing their son, and kowtow?

"To die loyally for His Majesty is the supreme honor of a dog, and it is an honor for me!"

As soon as the monarch's words fell, the great scholar Yin Hong knelt down under the throne holding the wat board, his round belly squeezed on the gold bricks, almost bursting the dark purple official uniform.

Veterans are mourning, and the emperor is ruthless.

Shen Lanqing lowered her eyes, and from the corner of her eye she fell on the clenched hand with the veins folded behind the case, and there was a slight ripple in her calm eyes.

If it weren't for the guards at the monarch's side, he would definitely feel the same as all the princes and ministers in the hall at this time.

Your Majesty, you really have such a ruthless face, and your true intentions are perfectly concealed.

Counting the countless disputes in the previous life, either indifference or anger, how many times it was true, how many times it was false, people couldn't see clearly, they couldn't figure it out.

Layers of hard shells cracked slowly, and then recovered as before, adding a layer of fine glaze.

What do you want?Then see clearly, think through, so what?

After 20 years of companionship, my lord has always been sitting alone in Yuyu, and he has never let go of his disguise once, showing half of his heart, but he can't believe it.

The waves are calm and calm, the handsome and gentle eyebrows are full of smiles, and the corners of the lips and the ends of the eyes are clearly ironic.

Don't think about it, don't think about it.

Just remember that in this life, in my lord's heart, he is just my lord's new favorite.

In this life, let him abide by his duty and not go too far.

It takes more than [-] years of work in the previous life to do good things, and it is enough.

The dripping water hit the gold bricks, softly and silently, but penetrated into Shen Lanqing's ears clearly, pulling back his wandering thoughts.

Looking up at the emperor, my lord's expression remained unchanged, and the corners of his lips even raised a slight arc. He calmly stared at Yin Hong who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly:

"Yin Yu accompanied me to study and practice martial arts since childhood, and won my favor, but she didn't want to be murdered by a rebel when she was not yet a weak crown, which really made my heart ache..."

"In the past, my companion read four, but in less than half a year, I have gone to the second."

"Yue Yuan's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. However, his father has already organized a decent funeral for him."

"Yin Yu was loyal and courageous. On my behalf, he went to the front of the battle to appease the soldiers who were deceived by the rebels, but was beheaded by the rebels in front of the battle. He was buried in honor."

"Yin Yu..."

"Posthumous Xiaoping, posthumously conferred the title of first-class uncle, and mourned with Houli."

"Your Majesty Long En..." Yin Hong burst into tears, his face was full of gratitude, and he kowtowed repeatedly, "Old minister... old minister... thank you... for your grace."

The emperor got up from the throne and walked down the steps along Danbi.

The black dragon robe is close to the slender figure, swaying lightly with steady and even steps, the golden embroidered edge on the robe draws arcs on the vermilion eyes, either noble, dazzling, or indifferent...

Shen Lanqing kept his eyes down, watching his clothes arc out of sight calmly, and the hem of his black robe was still in front of Old Fox Yin.

After a while, the hem was raised, Shen Lanqing raised his eyes slightly, the emperor bowed slightly with his back straight, leaned over slowly, and supported the arm of the old fox Yin with one hand.

Maybe it was just for a moment, my lord's back was straight as loose again, but a hint of disrespect could not be restrained from the bottom of Shen Lanqing's heart.

"At that moment just now, Your Majesty is very beautiful." His lips moved slightly, and a sound transmission was directly sent to the emperor's ears.

Ah!What a guts.

Yue Yu chuckled in his heart, and took back the hand supporting Yin Hong without changing his face, and finally there was a trace of concern in his cold voice: "When you lose your only son when you are old, the grief is beyond words, Yin Qing doesn't need to be so strong... "

"Wen Gai, the guard of the old capital, has buried Yin Yu in a coffin and escorted him back to the capital. Now he is parked in the White Cloud Temple."

"Yin Qing, let's go back to the mansion first, take people to welcome Yin Yu's coffin back home, and arrange the funeral."

The supreme honor, the inexhaustible grace.

Grand Master Yin knelt down on the ground again, knocked again and again, until the emperor lifted him up again with his own hands, and then tremblingly exited the imperial study.

Calmly dismissing the senior scholar Yin, Yue Yu sighed a few times with a blank face, and began to make repeated appointments in a leisurely manner amidst the repeated consolations of the ministers.

Under the instructions of Daoist sages, although there were discrepancies, they were not much different from Shen Lanqing's estimation.

It wasn't until only the general who punished the rebellion remained unappointed that the emperor looked at Prince An, Yue Zhen, who was casually leaning on the throne, and there was a hint of surprise in Shen Lanqing's calm eyes.

Yue Yu habitually tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingertips, obviously already grasping the wisdom pearl: "Prince An."

"Your Majesty is here." After answering slowly, Prince An moved his body in the throne room, raised his eyebrows and looked at the monarch on the throne, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Prince Yun rebelled, and the imperial envoys who went to recruit him were sacrificed to the king's banner. Now Prince Jing's mansion has raised troops to conspire with Prince Yun's mansion to commit a great treason. Prince An, you said that Prince Rui, who went to Prince Jing's mansion to meet Prince Jing, is still safe. ?”

"..." Prince An squinted his eyes at Yue Yu, was silent for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "The scourge will last for thousands of years, don't worry, Your Majesty, that traitor will not die easily."

The words are quite relaxed, but don't you think that the fingers are a little too fast?

As if his eyes were unintentionally sweeping over the two fingers that were twiddling the fingers, Yue Yu raised the corners of his lips vaguely: "Prince Jing's Mansion has formed an alliance with Prince Yun's Mansion, and Northern Jingzhou is the sacrifice of the alliance between the two mansions. Is Prince Jing still the same?" Loyalty is obvious, so there is no need to investigate further, however, Prince Rui and Yin Yu set off on their journey, and after calculating the schedule, it is time to enter the territory of North Yangzhou at this time, I wonder if Prince Jing will miss the old relationship..." After a slight pause, The sharp eyebrows frowned a little worriedly, "I hope Prince Rui will be blessed and return to Beijing safe and sound."

"Hey!" With a sudden sneer, Prince An stretched his waist and got up, and walked out the door leisurely, "Instead of worrying about that traitor, Your Majesty might as well think about who to send to the expedition..."

"If you accidentally let that boy Yue Tuo attack the capital and approach the city, your father's coffin face will really have no place to show."

Prince An's words were very disrespectful, and all the ministers carefully shrunk their sense of presence.

However, Yue Yu seemed to be used to it for a long time, stood up calmly, and bowed slightly to the crimson figure with lightly swinging clothes: "What uncle said is true, I have been taught. However, there are no good generals in the court, and I have no choice but to... ..."

"Hey! Don't do this." Prince An didn't turn his head back. He just sneered and waved his well-proportioned and well-proportioned hand, and abruptly interrupted Yue Yu's words, "This prince with old arms and legs, I couldn't bear it, so I took my leave first, Your Majesty."

Yue Yu was not annoyed, he straightened up slowly, and continued in a leisurely manner: "I have no choice but to trouble Prince An to work hard, and become the general of Pingni, and captured the traitor Yue Tuo alive into the capital."

When the last word fell, Prince An had just put his hand on the door of the imperial study.

The scarlet figure retracted his hands and turned around, leaning against the closed door.

Prince An still had a casual smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ever. He was no longer lazy and carefree in the usual days, and he went straight to meet the king's calm gaze without giving in.

Shen Lanqing stood by the emperor's side, becoming a fish in the pond who was affected by the disaster, restraining her surprise in her heart, and calmly mobilized her internal strength to resist the invisible pressure coming towards her face.

Shen Qing took the initiative to share and help, and the pressure on his body dropped suddenly. Yue Yu slowly raised his right hand, and the black sleeve slid down to his elbow.

The white wrist and the black beading are presented in front of her eyes.

As if Yue Yu made an unintentional move, Prince An's pupils shrank suddenly, and he slowly withdrew his inner strength, dissipating the aura that was pressing on the monarch and his ministers, and smiled: "Very, very good! This time it is really cheap for the traitor, but , Your Majesty, please remember..."

"The day this king returns in triumph is the time to settle accounts with you, little ice cube!"

"I believe that King An is not a small-minded person."

"Hey! You don't need to put such a high hat on this king. You might as well ask your father if he is a small belly, he should have a deep understanding!"

Ask the first emperor?

The corner of Shen Lanqing's mouth twitched slightly, isn't Prince An cursing my lord to see Hades?

With just this one sentence, he has already seen how small-minded Prince An is. Sure enough, narrow-mindedness is a common problem in the Yue family.

However, the Yue family faced the Shang Yue family, and the unscrupulous Prince An faced the indifferent and powerful emperor, it was a good show.

Looking at the emperor from the corner of his eye with great interest, he couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, and measured again and again, Shen Lanqing was extremely speechless.

Not only did my lord not get angry, a pair of cold phoenix eyes were actually filled with a smile!

Shen Lanqing slandered silently in her heart: what my father said is true, and the Yue family must not judge it with common sense.

King Yun and King Jing jointly rebelled, and Yue Yu never showed any signs of anxiety. After calculating that Prince An received the tiger talisman, and got Prince An's promise to set off for the old capital immediately, he dismissed the small court meeting.

Su Shuo, one of the three former assistant political scholars, was deposed for punishment, Yin Hong lost his son to attend the funeral, and Geng Liangshen was the only one who stayed in the imperial study to assist the emperor in handling political affairs.

Geng Liangshen does not restrain power, does not form cliques, and handles political affairs strictly and fairly. Among the three major scholars, he is the one he likes the most.

There are four vacancies for the Grand Master of the Palace, but Yue Yu has never asked anyone to fill the vacancies.

Now, because the emperor is sympathetic to the veterans, the senior scholar Yin was released back home, and the court ministers thought that the emperor must order a senior scholar out today.

Unexpectedly, the monarch's eyes swept over the Liubu Jiuqing, and his mind turned around a few times, but he just left the Minister of the Household Department, Shen Shuo, outside the imperial study room to assist the senior scholar Geng to deal with it. government affairs.

Hubu Shangshu Shen Shuozhi's brilliant talent, indifferent and gentle character, has caught Yue Yu's eyes since Zhan Shifu.

At that time, Yue Yu was still the crown prince, still young, his father only allowed him to listen to the government, but he was not allowed to discuss it.

Once, his father tested his political affairs in private, and he couldn't hold back, so he recommended Shen Shuo to his father and praised Shen Shuo as a prime minister.

He remembered clearly that at that time, his father, Emperor Yue Hao, said: "There is nothing wrong with recruiting virtuous and talented people, but you should remember that as long as his surname is Shen, he cannot be appointed as a prime minister."

The Shen family has always been a thorn in the heart of the monarch that cannot be plucked out.

The emperor's eyes lingered on Shen Shuo for a long time, until Shen Lanqing began to wonder in his heart whether the emperor was thinking about plotting against his father, and Yue Yu finally said, "Geng Qing, did Shang Shu handle the political affairs properly? "

"Return to Your Majesty, Shen Shangshu hasn't made any mistakes yet."

"Since that's the case, he will fill in the vacancy left by Su Shuo. What does Geng Qing think?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Geng Liangshen is an old man, and he has understood the emperor's will, and he will not offend his future in-laws for nothing. "With the talent of Shen Shangshu, he is competent."

"I can trust Geng Qing's vision, since it was recommended by Geng Qing, let's make it so." In a word, the sacred intention became Geng Liangshen's recommendation.

Geng Liangshen acquiesced without changing his face, while Shen Shuo kowtowed calmly and thanked him gratefully.

Under Jun Zhuangruo's unintentional push, the Geng family and the Shen family became more and more involved, but they didn't know whether it was good or bad.
