Reversing Life

"He is too greedy, he deserves to be killed." Qiao Sheng said firmly.

Mu Yunxian said: "You have been an official for so long, but you still can't learn to protect yourself. You have to take the lead in everything, I don't know how many people are afraid of you."

"No way." Qiao Sheng complained for himself: "It is obviously because the emperor needs me that I take the lead..."

"You go when I ask you to go?" Mu Yunxian said.

"Isn't the emperor always teaching me this?" Qiao Sheng said: "I believe whatever the emperor says."

Mu Yunxian was speechless for a moment, and finally said: "Well, well." After that, he changed the subject: "Go to see the prince after you are done with your work. He misses you too."

This is the tenth year they have known each other. At first, Mu Yunxian gave Qiao Sheng a job, which caused a lot of complaints from the court. Everyone said that the previous dynasty was destroyed by eunuchs in power, and His Majesty was doing this to repeat the same mistake. Who knows that in the past ten years, how many people who spoke out at that time were corrupt and were pulled down by Qiao Sheng, but he himself was like a perfect man, and no one could find fault with him.

The emperor protected him, and he was famous among the people. Gradually, no one talked about Qiao Sheng's background. In addition, the prince was old - he had been accompanied by Qiao Sheng since he was a child, and he had no opinion on him. The noisy group of people saw that Qiao Sheng might be able to shine again, so they naturally stopped talking.

Before the New Year this year, while there was still a month and a half before the New Year, the ministers who thought they could spend this year peacefully were struck by a thunderbolt on their heads, and they were knocked unconscious. When Qiao Sheng came back, he submitted three memorials in a row, with the sword pointed directly at a senior official in the court. There were witnesses and evidence, which was impeccable.

Some people openly and secretly protected him, pleaded with the emperor, and secretly accused him of not following the rules. However, the emperor spread his hands as usual and said, "He is just like this. What can I do? Otherwise, find me someone who can do the job?"

So everyone with a discerning eye could see that these two people were clearly playing the good cop and the bad cop. What's the use of complaining to the emperor? I had to say privately, "This eunuch has never been educated. He doesn't understand the principle of "when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away, and when the rabbits die, the running dogs are cooked." Let's wait for a while and see what happens to him."

They don't know what will happen to Qiao Sheng in the future, but they can see clearly what he looks like now. Qiao Sheng often travels in the palace. The emperor only tells outsiders that he is also responsible for teaching the prince martial arts. In fact, he spends half of his time with the emperor. He is the closest minister to the emperor. Whenever the emperor holds a family banquet, there must be a seat for him.

That night, fireworks were set off in the palace, and everyone went to see. Qiao Sheng stood beside the emperor, looking at the flowers blooming in the sky, and suddenly heard the emperor say, "Come here."

They left the crowd, and the emperor personally made a pot of tea. Everyone knew that the emperor loved to drink tea, but almost no one could drink the tea he personally made. Qiao Sheng was one of them.

"When I tested you back then, did you blame me?" The emperor suddenly mentioned an old story.

Qiao Sheng was stunned, and then thought about it again, and remembered that the emperor was referring to the concubine back then. He was silent for a long time and said, "I blamed you at that time."

He treated the emperor sincerely and regarded the emperor as everything to him. He tried his best to tell the truth without hiding anything. He didn't expect that all this was actually fake, so how could he not blame him.

Mu Yunxian said, "Do you know a truth? It's easy to share wealth and hard to share adversity. Bringing a person out of a desperate situation, pampering and indulging him, as long as he has a little conscience, he will naturally not behave too much."

"He is too greedy, he deserves to be killed." Qiao Sheng said firmly.

Mu Yunxian said: "You have been an official for so long, but you still can't learn to protect yourself. You have to take the lead in everything. I don't know how many people are afraid of you."

"No way." Qiao Sheng complained for himself: "It is obviously because the emperor needs me that I take the lead..."

"You go when I ask you to go?" Mu Yunxian said.

"Hasn't the emperor always taught me this?" Qiao Sheng said: "I believe whatever the emperor says."

Mu Yunxian was speechless for a moment, and finally said: "Well, well." After that, he changed the subject: "Go to see the prince after you are done with your work. He misses you too."

This is the tenth year they have known each other. At first, Mu Yunxian gave Qiao Sheng a job, which caused a lot of complaints from the court. Everyone said that the previous dynasty was destroyed by eunuchs in power, and His Majesty was doing this to repeat the same mistakes. Who knew that after ten years, many people who spoke up at the time were corrupt and were pulled down by Qiao Sheng, but he himself was like a perfect person, and no one could find fault with him.

With the emperor's protection and his reputation among the people, Qiao Sheng's origins gradually ceased to be discussed. In addition, the prince was old - he had been with Qiao Sheng since he was a child, so he had no opinion on him. Seeing that Qiao Sheng might be able to enjoy another glorious period, the noisy group of people naturally stopped talking.

Before the New Year, with one and a half months left before the New Year, the ministers who thought they could spend the year peacefully were struck by a thunderbolt and were completely stunned. As soon as Qiao Sheng came back, he submitted three memorials in a row, pointing his sword directly at a senior official in the court, with witnesses and evidence, which was impeccable.

Some people openly and secretly protected him, pleaded with the emperor, and secretly accused him of not following the rules. However, the emperor just spread his hands as usual and said, "He is just like this. What can I do? Otherwise, find me someone who can do the job?"

So everyone with a discerning eye could see that these two people were clearly playing the good cop and the bad cop. What's the point of complaining to the emperor? They could only say privately, "This eunuch has never been educated. He doesn't understand the principle of 'when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away, and when the rabbits die, the running dogs are cooked.' Let's wait for a while and see what happens to him."

They didn't know what Qiao Sheng's fate would be in the future, but they could see clearly what he was like now. Qiao Sheng often came and went in the palace. The emperor only told outsiders that he was also responsible for teaching the prince how to practice martial arts. In fact, he stayed with the emperor half the time. He was the closest minister to the emperor. Whenever the emperor held a family banquet, there must be a place for him at the table.

That night there was smoke in the palace, and everyone went to see it. Qiao Sheng was standing beside the emperor, looking at the flowers blooming in the sky, when he suddenly heard the emperor say: "Come here."

They left the crowd, and the emperor himself made a pot of tea. Everyone knew that the emperor loved tea, but almost no one could drink the tea he brewed himself. Qiao Sheng is one of them.

"Did you blame me for testing you back then?" The emperor suddenly mentioned an old incident.

Qiao Sheng was stunned for a moment, then thought again and remembered that the emperor was referring to the concubine back then. He was silent for a long time and said, "I was resentful at that time."

He treated the emperor sincerely and regarded the emperor as everything to him. He tried his best to tell the truth without hiding anything. He didn't expect that everything was false. How could he not complain.

Mu Yun said leisurely: "Do you know the truth? It is easier to share hardships when sharing wealth. If you take a person out of a desperate situation and pamper him, as long as he has some conscience, he will naturally not behave too much."

Qiao Sheng said: "I know." Because not long after that incident, the emperor seemed to completely trust him and entrust him with important tasks. He also lived up to the emperor's expectations, climbing up step by step, and he is where he is today. If that was the emperor's final test for him, it didn't seem too much.

"Actually, I didn't want to see the result of that incident, but someone else wanted to see it." Mu Yunxian glanced at him, then lowered his head and poured tea: "I woke up one night and seemed to feel that everything in the world is actually the same. In this dream, I couldn’t tell who I was. Someone was saying something in my ear, saying that he was the emperor. I really couldn’t figure it out.”

"Then..." Qiao Sheng was stunned.

"He doesn't believe that you are sincere to him, so I have to let him believe it." Mu Yun said casually. In fact, the biggest reason why he did that was to convince his employer. The employer wants someone to treat him sincerely, but he doesn't believe in the heart of the person in the palace. If he doesn't go through some things to prove it, his usual performance will be useless.

Qiao Sheng did a good job. He not only convinced his employer, but also Mu Yunxian, so Mu Yunxian stayed in this world for ten years.

After his employer returned to his body in his place, even though he had the same experiences as him, his way of thinking would be closer to Mu Yunxian's, but they were always two different people and would never become one. He was a little worried about Qiao Sheng, paving the way for him here.

Now that Qiao Sheng is becoming more mature, it's time for them to part ways.

"Why did the emperor suddenly mention this?" Qiao Sheng had been with Mu Yunxian for more than ten years, so he naturally knew Mu Yunxian's temperament. His sudden mention of this old incident was definitely not without purpose.

Mu Yunxian said: "I suddenly felt something recently..."

"Your Majesty!" Qiao Sheng said loudly, attracting the attention of the palace servants waiting outside, who glanced this way.

"Why are you panicking?" Mu Yun said leisurely: "Ever since that time, I have thought that I will never lie to you again. That's why I told you the truth. Why, don't you like it?"

Qiao Sheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you might as well keep lying to me."

"I can't lie to you." Mu Yunxian said gently: "Who knows what it will be like in the future. Don't be so reckless in the future."

Qiao Sheng lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes.

Mu Yunxian continued: "It is often said that Taoists have three souls and seven souls. From my point of view, he and I are just two souls in the same body. After replacing one soul, we are still the same person. How can we make this happen? It’s the same as separation between life and death, why are you crying?”

"Your Majesty is just comforting me." Qiao Sheng whispered.

"What's so comforting?" Mu Yun said with a smile, "What I said is so weird, shouldn't you suspect that I'm lying to you again?"

Qiao Sheng didn't speak, just sat there.

"Everything will be fine in the future, eh?" Mu Yunxian continued to say warmly: "The prince has been taught well by me, and I treat you well. Remember to help him."

After that night, Qiao Sheng was sent home by Mu Yunxian. The next day, the prince happened to have classes. He entered the palace and found that the emperor was also there.

Thinking of what he said yesterday, his heart was in his throat. The emperor looked at him with a strange look. He hesitated for a moment, and then smiled: "Qiao Sheng is here? What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come over."

Seeing the emperor's usual appearance, he let out a sigh of relief. It feels like nothing happened.

The emperor had been in power for thirty years and treated him as usual. The two men got along well with each other and became a good story.
