Mirror of the Sky

Luo Mu felt that Zhou Tang had changed a lot. He was no longer the ten-year-old boy he was when he left Zhoudu. The body is also strong, the skeleton is well-proportioned, tall and majestic, Luo Mu even faintly felt that he was holding his hand, so warm and reliable.

His little emperor has grown up.

For this reason, Luo Mu refused to enter and leave the imperial study at will.

In the past few years since he was not in Zhoudu, Zhou Tang has been able to handle political affairs very well. He used to think that he was young and ignorant, and wanted to check for him, but now, there is no need for it.

But Zhou Tang disagreed.

If you want to say that the only thing that hasn't changed in the past seven years of Zhou and Tang is the sincerity and clinginess towards Master Guoshi as always.

No, it's an intensified clinginess.

After the Zhou and Tang Dynasties, people sent the memorial to the platform, and set up a desk in Luo Mu's office to approve the memorial.He didn't do anything, just quietly approved the memorial, and if he couldn't finish it all morning, he asked someone to put the lunch on the platform and share it with the National Teacher.

For three days in a row, Luo Mu was very troubled, but he couldn't keep up with him.

"Your Majesty, it's so against the rules."

"But Master Guoshi refuses to follow me to the imperial study, what else can I do?" Zhou Tang stared at the memorial without raising his head.

Luo Mu said seriously: "Now Your Majesty doesn't need ministers anymore."

"Need!" Zhou Tang said decisively, "I will always need you, my national teacher."

Luo Mu was taken aback by Zhou Tang's serious look, and then he heard Zhou Tang say: "However, it's okay if the Master of the State Teacher doesn't want to worry about government affairs, I can handle it."

"I just want to see you more." Zhou Tang said, "I haven't seen you for seven years, doesn't Master Guoshi miss me at all?"

"How is it impossible not to miss His Majesty?" Luo Mu subconsciously asked.

Zhou Tang raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue, and Luo Mu recalled his state of mind in the army: "I always think about whether your majesty can handle the government affairs well, whether you are bullied by the courtiers, whether the palace people are slack, whether you have enough food and clothing. Warm, did you kick the quilt when you slept at night..."

Thinking of this, Luo Mu felt a little soft-hearted. Zhou Tang could be regarded as a child raised by him alone. Even though there was an interval of seven years, he still felt that he had watched him grow up little by little.

Zhou Tang listened with a smile, "That's it, let's make up for the faces we haven't seen in seven years." Then he raised his eyebrows and teased: "If my lord wants to know if I will kick the quilt , you can come to my bedroom to have a look tonight."

Luo Mu scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, how decent!"

Therefore, the topic of persuading Zhou Tang to leave was diverted every time by Zhou Tang acting like a baby or making jokes, and let it go.

Luo Mu's health is not yet fully recovered, and he is a little lethargic on weekdays. Fortunately, the national teacher is an official who doesn't care much, and he is not needed for no major matters. He just sits on the platform every day, reads books, and raises flowers , Now there is one more, dozing off.

Every time Luo Mu fell asleep on the soft couch, Zhou Tang would get up and carry him to the inner couch.Luo Mu slept lightly and woke up as soon as he moved, but he was very sleepy. When Zhou Tang asked him to sleep on the bed, he didn't struggle, and let him hug him and put him on the bed.

Probably only after waking up and remembering that Zhou Tang was hugged to bed before going to bed, would he feel a little ashamed.But when he dozed off next time, he was still too sleepy to break free from his arms and go to sleep by himself.

For this reason, Luo Mu made a divination for himself.Warlocks like them who pry into the will of heaven have a big flaw, that is, they are not too sure about their own fate, but there are still signs of big ups and downs.Luo Mu wasn't quite sure what would happen to him in the future, but this time, he figured out...his...life is not long.

Zhou Tang ran to the platform with the papers every day, and did not leave until the State Teacher returned home. Gradually, some rumors appeared in the palace, saying that His Majesty would not be able to approve the papers without the State Teacher.Rumors spread to the court, and all the lords couldn't sit still, and wrote letters one after another, thinking that although the lord of the state teacher has made great contributions to assisting his majesty, but now that his majesty has grown up, the lord of the state teacher should no longer interfere in government affairs.

So Luo Mu persuaded Zhou Tang to restrain himself again, "Look, you shouldn't have come to my batch of papers."

"Isn't my place up and down in this palace? Why can't I come to this platform?" Zhou Tang was also annoyed by these meddling ministers, and his tone was sharp and sarcastic, "I'm full Supporting minister, what qualifications do you have to tell me what to do!"

Luo Mu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that maybe he had too much control over Zhou Tang.

But always coming to him, it's really not the same thing.So Luo Mu said: "Although the courtiers are wrong, you really shouldn't come to me all the time. When you grow up, why are you still so self-willed, reckless, and don't know how to advance or retreat!"

Just as Zhou Tang didn't realize just now that he has no right to scold the minister and he actually scolded Luo Mu, Luo Mu also didn't realize that his tone was too harsh, as if he was inexplicably angry.

Hearing Luo Mu's "reprimand", Zhou Tang immediately turned cold, and he sneered: "Master Guoshi is right, I am confused."

It turned out that the company he wanted, in his eyes, was nothing but capriciousness, reckless behavior, and a lack of knowing how to advance or retreat...

After Zhou Tang left, Luo Mu realized belatedly that his words were too harsh.Moreover, Zhou Tang grew up and was an emperor above ten thousand people, so he definitely couldn't bear such reprimand.

Luo Mu reflected on himself and felt that he was wrong.

Zhou Tang no longer went to hold the platform.The rumors in the palace subsided temporarily, and the courtiers also settled down.

But Zhou Tang didn't feel well in his heart. He felt that Master Guoshi had changed.

From the perspective of their identities, Master Guoshi is no longer the one who shields him from the wind and rain and guides him. He has become his subject, and he has begun to guard the difference between the monarch and his ministers.

Judging from the physical status of the two, Master Guoshi is weak and needs his own care.

But there is nothing wrong with these, he is willing to take care of the master of the country, is willing to shelter the master of the country, is willing to exchange identities, and become that protector.

But unfortunately, Master Guoshi's temperament has also changed.He lost the self-confidence of "you can trust me, and I will help you" back then, and he began to look forward and backward when encountering problems, began to pay attention to safety, and was willing to be bound by the so-called etiquette.

He also lost the high-spirited spirit of "the minister will conquer Qi for His Majesty", his temper became soft, and he became hopeless, as if he was tired of worldly affairs, and he was ready to become a fairy at any time without any worries.

Master Guoshi is only 27 years old, he is in his prime, but not to mention his frail body, his temperament seems to have entered his twilight years.

Zhou Tang can't stand him like this!

He also knows in his heart that after seven years, he himself has grown up and changed, and it is inevitable that Master Guoshi will change.

He only hoped for one thing, that the National Teacher would accompany him for a long time, even if he could not go hand in hand with him and bear the storm together like before, as long as he was with him and witnessed their prosperous world together was enough.

But now Zhou Tang feels that it is not enough, this is not enough.He couldn't bear the renunciation between the master of the state and his ministers, the difference between the monarch and his subjects, and he could see it every day, but it was not as good as when he was a child and only opened the window for a long time to see him.

Where the hell did it go wrong?

Luo Mu thought for a few days, but Zhou Tang didn't come, so he decided to apologize to Zhou Tang, but he never thought that before he took any action, Zhou Tang would send someone to invite him to dinner, saying, if Master Guoshi doesn't come, today's No lunch.

Hearing the message from Eunuch Bao, the chief eunuch, Luo Mu burst out laughing, and walked to Zhou Tang's bedroom.

"Think of yourself as a child, and threaten me with a hunger strike?" Luo Mu teased Zhou Tang as he retreated from the palace guards.

Zhou Tang laughed and said, "Isn't this useful?"

Luo Mu smiled and shook his head: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come, let's see if you have the face to really go on a hunger strike."

Neither of them mentioned the events of the day.

Zhou Tang felt that there was no need to tell Luo Mu his state of mind, it would be too embarrassing.

Luo Mu felt that since Zhou Tang didn't mind, if he apologized in a serious manner, he would appear petty, and bringing up the old matter would spoil the atmosphere.

So the host and guest enjoyed this lunch, which was extremely harmonious.

From that day on, as long as Zhou Tang government affairs are not busy, people will send people to invite Luo Mu on duty to have a meal together, and even advance the dinner by half an hour, invite Luo Mu on duty, and send him out after finishing the meal Palace to go.

A few days later, there were rumors in the palace that His Majesty would not be able to eat without His Majesty the Master.

This time it was passed to the minister's ears, and the meaning has many layers.

A few days later, a minister wrote a letter saying that His Majesty was 17 years old, and it was time for him to become a concubine.
