Jing Mu heard the movement at the door and turned around to look this way.In the candlelight, Emperor Qian Ning saw that his complexion was pale and his eyes were red.

When Jing Mu was in the military camp, he had studied martial arts for several years.From a distance, he heard Emperor Qianning's footsteps, and knew that this person had taken the bait.At this time when he heard the sound of the door, he acted like a frightened bird, looked at Emperor Qian Ning in surprise, then hurriedly held the flower in one hand, and wiped his eyes with the other free hand, Like wiping away tears.

He knelt down in a hurry, and a few rhododendrons accidentally scattered down.

"...Father!" He called out in a low voice.

The boy in the year of Dancing Elephant, is the time when his voice is hoarse and changing.Calling people in such a low voice, in such a quiet environment, it sounds a little hoarse and lonely.

"What are you doing here?" Emperor Gan Ning frowned after hearing this, he didn't want to see him.

"...Go back to Emperor Father, today belongs to Concubine Mother..." Jing Mu paused when he said this, and said. "My son went out of the palace privately during the confinement period, and I ask my father to punish me."

Emperor Qian Ning frowned, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the brilliantly red cuckoo.

For a moment, he asked in a low voice. "How do you know that your mother and concubine like azaleas?"

Mrs. Yun's appearance is extraordinarily clear and elegant, and it needs to be savored carefully to get better and better like clear tea.But it is such a woman who is as light as smoke, who actually likes the blazing azaleas the most.When you put a flower on your temples in spring, you will suddenly look more delicate than a flower, and all the elegance will be dyed with charm.

"...Listen to Master Ye." Jing Mu said in a low voice. "Earlier... I met Lord Ye once in the palace, and I asked my lord what my mother and concubine liked before she was alive. Lord Ye didn't answer, so I asked my lord to go out of the palace to look for him again... This azalea is removed from the courtyard of the mother's boudoir."

Hearing this, Emperor Qianning frowned more and more: "You met Ye Qingrui twice for this reason?"

"...Yes." Jing Mu whispered. "My son returned to the palace for the first year... I want to give my mother something she likes. But I don't want my father to be angry by doing things badly."

Naturally, Emperor Qianning didn't suspect him because he was not doing things well, but he wouldn't tell Jing Mu this.

"Then you didn't say anything else?" Emperor Gan Ning didn't believe it.

"I've said it." Jing Mu raised his head and said to Emperor Qian Ning with a rather honest demeanor. "When I met Master Ye for the first time in the palace, he said a lot of other things and told my ministers a lot."

Seeing his appearance of staying out of the matter, Emperor Qian Ning was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"What did he say?" Emperor Gan Ning asked.

"My lord told my ministers to strive for success." Jing Mu continued. "It is said that the minister will surely achieve great things in the future, and he and his cousins ​​will definitely help the minister. It is also said that the elder brother is mediocre, and there is no mother and concubine to help him, but the minister is different..." said This, Jing Mu continued. "However, Royal Father, this son-in-law hasn't read the book for a few days, so he must disappoint Lord Ye."

The more Emperor Gan Ning listened to him, the more strange his expression became.Jing Mu saw it, as if he didn't see it, and kept talking on his own.

After he finished speaking, Emperor Qianning's face turned dark.He already knew that Ye Qingrui was dishonest, but he didn't expect that this person's disobedience was so obvious.

He knew that he was not in good health, but he didn't want to admit that his body couldn't last for several years.These people's plans, in his opinion, were like expecting him to die.

On the contrary, in his rage, he found Jing Mu's frankness quite interesting.

"Have you ever thought about what a big deal Ye Qingrui and what you said will be accomplished?" Emperor Qianning asked.

"Jing Mu thinks, he should be like the elder brother, serving as a courtier for the father." Jing Mu said. "My son also wants to be my father's servant and do something for my father. But my son has not finished studying the Four Books. How can I work with the adults who have entered the imperial examination in the Manchu Dynasty?"

"Why not?" Emperor Qian Ning was very pleased by his words, and blurted out after hearing the words.

"Father—?" Jing Mu showed an expression of disbelief.

Emperor Qian Ning felt that it was inappropriate to say this.But as the Son of Heaven, he always speaks without jokes, and treats a sentence as a sentence, and cannot be trusted without words.

He then changed the subject to another place: "Is this flower really from your mother's concubine's boudoir?"

Hearing this, Jing Mu raised his hand and handed the bouquet of azaleas to Emperor Qianning: "Father, they are all under the window of mother and concubine." Then, he turned his gaze to the portrait of nobleman Yun on the wall superior. "It's a pity that I have never met my concubine... If my concubine wears the cuckoo in front of her window, it will be very beautiful."

His few words made Emperor Qianning's eyes soften a little.

"Your confinement will be released tomorrow." Emperor Gan Ning continued. "There is no need to stay in Zhongli Palace all day."

Jing Mu heard that it should be true.

Emperor Qian Ning felt that he had said all he needed to say, and raised his eyes to look at the portrait of the woman on the wall, feeling vaguely strange, as he hadn't seen it for decades.Thinking like this, he felt a little sleepy, and turned around to go back.

"Father." At this moment, Jing Mu stopped him. "My son has one more thing." He said.

Emperor Gan Ning turned around after hearing the words: "You say so."

"Lord Ye...also talked to my son. Jing Mu didn't want to talk to his father, but it was Lord Ye who disagreed with his son." Jing Mu said. "Master Ye said that the minister has been in the palace all the time, so he has the chance to be crowned prince."

Emperor Qianning's expression changed suddenly: "He really told you that?"

Jing Mu calmly replied: "Yes. But Erchen has self-knowledge and has no intention of becoming the crown prince. He only wants to do his best for the emperor... Erchen has lived in hardship for more than ten years, so naturally he and other brothers It's different. It's a blessing to be able to return to the palace, and I don't dare to think about other things." Speaking of this, he raised his head and said with a sincere expression: "My son-in-law asks father to let his son-in-law go out of the palace to build a mansion. thought."

Emperor Qianning was shocked when he heard it.

Except for Shu Changyu, no one else knew about his idea of ​​getting Jing Mu out of Gong Jian's mansion.He thought he knew Shu Changyu quite well, and knew that this person looked so stupid that it was impossible for him to disclose this matter to Jing Mu.

So... this kid Jing Mu really doesn't have any idea about the throne anymore.

He was dazed, when he saw Jing Mu knelt down again: "...Jing Mu also asks Father to complete it."

"I'm so relieved that you have such a heart." Emperor Qian Ning stepped forward, grabbed Jing Mu's arm, and pulled him up.

This is the first child he doesn't have to guard against in secret.Emperor Qianning thought to himself.

Seeing his appearance, Jing Mu knew it in his heart.The price he offered to Emperor Qian Ning was enough, now, he needed to ask Emperor Qian Ning for his conditions.

"Father, after the child becomes king, can he continue to study with Master Shu?" he asked.

Emperor Gan Ning answered casually: "You haven't finished studying the four books, so naturally everything will continue as usual. Let Master Shu teach you, okay?"

Naturally it is good.

-

On the second day, Shu Changyu listened to the emperor's imperial decree for King Mu in the court hall, even the title was drawn up, and Qin Tianjian was asked to calculate Fengshui.

Sure enough, with Emperor Qianning's decree, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other in blank dismay, each with their own accounts in mind.

The eldest prince is still in the palace, and the second prince will leave the palace to build a mansion.Counting that the second prince hadn't stayed in the palace for a few months, he must have lost the Sacred Heart, so the possibility of becoming the prince was dismissed early.

Among them, although the eldest prince Jing Yan kept his eyes down, his expression was also very rich.Jing Mu was the first person to go out of the palace to build a mansion, so as the eldest son raised under the empress' knees, his weight became a little heavier.

He turned his head and glanced at Shu Changyu.

He sneered in his heart--I told you earlier that I would let you choose a tree to live in, but you pretended to be stupid with me.Now that the master you serve is out of business, I am afraid that sooner or later you will have to come here again to curry favor with me.

After the morning court that day, Emperor Qianning left Shu Changyu in his study.

"I'm thinking about arranging Mu'er to the Ministry of War, what does Ai Qing think?" Emperor Qian Ning asked him excitedly.

Shu Changyu was taken aback when he heard the words.

Emperor Gan Ning still said to himself: "I think, although Mu'er has not read all the four books, he has been in the army for a few years anyway. I heard that he is very brave, has won a lot of military merits, and has been named a centurion." .” Speaking of this, he looked a little proud. "I thought, since he is going out of the palace, I have to find him an errand. After thinking about it, the Ministry of War is the most suitable."

It took a long time for Shu Changyu to digest the meaning of Emperor Qianning's words.

But the Emperor Qian Ning in front of him was something he had never seen before.His cheerful and relaxed expression was like an ordinary father, looking for a future for his children.

However, this kind of appearance, others can do it, how could Emperor Qian Ning do it?

Naturally, Shu Changyu didn't know about Emperor Qianning's conversation with Jing Mu last night.

"Why, does Ai Qing think it's inappropriate?" Seeing that he had been silent, Emperor Qian Ning asked.

Now, besides Jing Mu, the person he trusts the most around him is a long-term metaphor.These two people were really different from the courtiers that Emperor Qianning had seen on a daily basis. They were so dull compared to each other, which really made him no longer feel relieved.

Emperor Qian Ning was in a good mood, so he continued to say: "However, there are few positions in the Ministry of War that lead soldiers to fight, and they are mainly based on investigation and management of armies in various places. I am also afraid that Mu'er will not be able to do it, so I think it is better to change it." go elsewhere."

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianning had an idea: "Shu Sanlang, I think Dali Temple is better."

Only then did Shu Changyu come to his senses.He paused, then asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do about serving as the Second Highness's Young Fu?"

Emperor Gan Ning waved his hands casually when he heard the words, and said: "Yesterday, Mu'er mentioned this matter to me, and I asked him if I could let you continue teaching him, and he agreed, and I thought it was good, so let's continue like this."

Shu Changyu frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, most of the river control strategy in my hands has been drawn up, and I am willing to use this strategy to control the Yellow River in the future. Please think twice about the Second Highness Shao Fu."

Emperor Qianning didn't take his strategy seriously at all - the Yellow River flooded every year, and it has been like this for thousands of years.He didn't believe that Shu Changyu could really become the great Yu of the world and solve the disasters that had happened in recent years.

Compared with this, the enlightenment education in front of his son is more practical.

"Let's make a decision after your book is finished." Emperor Qianning said perfunctorily.

By that time, after Jing Mu has been taught well, he is willing to cure the Yellow River for a few years, and he doesn't care about him.
