Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Qi Junmu watched Shen Nian leave, he sat on the chair and frowned.

The look in Shen Nian's eyes just now made him feel a little bit embarrassed, more of the embarrassment of being seen through.In fact, when everyone was discussing in the main hall just now, he also thought about involving Shen Nian.

Maybe he didn't tell Shen Nian his whole plan at the beginning, but just waited for this day.

He will never keep Chang Sheng. If the western border and the northern border compete with each other, and the civil servants and military officials in the court confront each other, he will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This is a good opportunity for the emperor, and it will save him a lot of detours, and he will not have to rely on anyone in the future.It's just that if you really do this, you will be wronged and Shen Nian in the end.

And just now in the main hall, he was sitting on the high dragon chair, watching Shen Nian's expression from being stunned and unbelievable to finally being bored, Qi Junmu's heart twitched slightly, he didn't really do that.

He was using his relationship with Shen Nian, but he never thought of doing anything to Shen Nian.Even if he wronged someone this time, he will definitely use other methods to make up for it afterwards.

But when he was thinking about the benefits in his heart, he saw Shen Nian standing there neither sad nor happy.He suddenly thought, this time is different from the past, if this time he really used Shen Nian or even the Northern Territory in Shen Nian's hands, would Shen Nian still have trust in him?

Yes, trust.

Shen Nian trusted him as the emperor, and he might have been heavily guarded at the beginning, but as time passed, the shell of defense was broken by him, the unscrupulous emperor.

Trust outweighs defense.

Qi Junmu has been the emperor for two lifetimes, but no one trusts him, not even his uncle Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao has the Lin family to protect him, has his own interests to maintain, and occasionally uses his private power to seek official positions for some people.He is the prime minister on the left, there is always someone who can find him through relationships, and it is impossible for Lin Xiao to completely refuse.

Lin Xiao's kindness to the emperor was not selfish.

Lin Xiao was also afraid that his attitude towards the Lin family would change, so on the one hand, he wanted to cling to the queen mother, who was also surnamed Lin.

But Shen Nian was different, he didn't care about the Shen family, and would not use his rights to do anything for the Shen family because of this. Without a wife, he would have no wives, let alone maintain relationships with the wives.

What Shen Nian valued most was the northern border army. The northern border was the place where he stayed since he was a child. Those people were his brothers and sisters. They went to the battlefield together, were wounded and bleed, experienced life and death, and protected the people on the border.

If there is a conflict between the western border and the northern border, the two sides will definitely use various tricks, and there will inevitably be bloodshed.

Shen Nian must have thought of this at the time, so he was a little disappointed, this disappointment was not for the emperor, but for himself.He was disappointed that because of the emperor's small favors, he had forgotten the emperor's means of securing power.

Qi Junmu also thought of this on the dragon chair, and then he suddenly asked Shen Nian what he thought of this matter.

Shen Nian's answer was a bit unexpected, he thought this person would be completely dissatisfied or indignant, but he still defended himself, a very slight sentence.

At that time, the emperor laughed in his heart, and then he opened his mouth and thought about it smoothly.

Qi Junmu knew that Shen Nian was very smart, so he would definitely be able to guess the changes in his mood.

In Qianhua Hall, he originally wanted to cover up this matter by making jokes as usual, but for the first time, he and Shen Nian lost their tacit understanding.

Shen Nian clearly pointed out his thoughts, and spoke without mercy.

At that moment, the emperor was very embarrassed and very puzzled.

Shen Nian was very restrained and calm, he shouldn't have such an attitude towards the emperor.

When he grabbed Shen Nian who was about to leave, this person staggered into his arms, Qi Junmu saw the emotions in Shen Nian's eyes, there were all kinds of emotions, and there was a trace of unspeakable grievance.

Because of this grievance, Qi Junmu just kept Shen Nian, and when he insisted on leaving, the emperor just watched.

Disappointment, resentment, dissatisfaction, happiness, pride and trust, it is normal for a courtier to have such emotions towards the emperor, but grievance seems to be too close.Even Qi Junzhuo never showed such an expression in front of him.

So what was Shen Nian thinking in his heart, the emperor sat on the imperial chair and thought expressionlessly.Or is it because you are troubled by family affairs, so you appear extra vulnerable?

Shen Nian's mood has been very ups and downs recently, if it wasn't like this, Qi Junmu wouldn't have the patience to bathe and ascend the pavilion with him.

Ruan Jiqing had already investigated what happened in the Shen family. This kind of private affairs in the house can always be found out through various channels, especially when there were so many servants in the Wen family's courtyard that night.

Although those servants were imprisoned, they were not silenced. As long as there are people alive in this world, news can always be heard.

The Shen family is short of servants, so it is natural to add some servants.

Some people were easily inserted, and with a little more care, things would be clear.

The emperor didn't care about Mrs. Shen's character and methods. Bai Feng had taken the pulse of Mrs. Shen and told him that Mrs. Shen had a stroke very strangely, and the pulse was too stable.

Qi Junmu knew that Shen Nian would handle this matter well, so he didn't intervene.

It's just that the Wen family was too greedy, and tried to confuse the blood of the Shen family and make a groom's son a Marquis of Zhenbei.Such a person, if he hadn't taken Shen Nian's reputation into consideration, he would have directly ordered him to be killed.

He is not interested in the love-hate relationship between Shen Yi and Wen Shi, what he cares most is Wen Shi's attitude towards Shen Nian.

After all, Wen Shi is Shen Nian's biological mother, Shen Nian is not good at doing anything to her.

Imprisoning her all the time is not an option, she has a mouth and a tongue, and she wants to ruin Shen Nian's reputation, this is the situation that the emperor doesn't want to see the most.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu's eyes darkened, and Wen could no longer speak. As for Shen Qing, it all depends on how Shen Nian wants to deal with it.

The emperor had other strange feelings in his heart, but he didn't think about it.

When the emperor was thinking about Shen Nian, Shen Nian was also thinking about the emperor.

He knew that his emotions were too leaky today, and he knew that he shouldn't be like this.Qi Junmu is the emperor, an emperor who holds the power of life and death. If he is smart enough, he should follow the emperor's words, and the little barrier in the court will not exist.

In the future, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects will be the same as in the past, not to mention that the emperor still took care of him in the end and blocked all kinds of gossip in the court for him.

And when he was alone with Qi Junmu, he still said the things in his heart that shouldn't be said in the most extremely sarcastic tone.

Shen Nian knew it was wrong, but at that time he couldn't control himself at all.At some point, he forgot that Qi Junmu was an emperor.

Before he knew it, he crossed a line.

It is extremely dangerous not to put Qi Junmu in the position of an emperor.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian sighed deeply, luckily he found out in time.

After venting his emotions, he will know where the boundaries are when he gets along with the emperor later.

As Shen Nian thought about it, he walked in the strange yet familiar palace.When he inadvertently saw the towering towers in the palace, he suddenly thought of Shen Yi, and also thought of Emperor Jing who was praised and criticized by the world.

After Shen Yi brought him to the northern border, every time he saw him, his eyes were very complicated.As a father, Shen Yi is very clumsy, and sometimes he doesn't know how to take care of his children.

At that time Shen Nian had just escaped from Wen's disgusting eyes, he was afraid of being left behind by Shen Yi, so he worked extra hard.

Shen Yi is very busy every day, but he will find time to teach him to practice every day. He has very few words, and what is given to him is life-saving methods.

The border wars are raging, and everyone will be forced to enter the battlefield, and Shen Yi's son is no exception.

After slowly growing up, Shen Nian also had some doubts in his heart, Shen Yi was very indifferent to the Shen family.It's just that when I look north occasionally, my eyes are full of sighs.

Now Shen Nian couldn't help but wonder if his father, Shen Yi, also crossed the line when he was studying with Emperor Jing, even went a little too far.

This is not a good thing, Shen Nian looked gloomy.

No one knows what happened between Shen Yi and Emperor Jing.But for him, the relationship with the emperor is too close, and it is easy for him to lose sight of the danger.

After thinking about this, Shen Nian withdrew his gaze, he will adjust his mood as soon as possible and become a competent courtier.

@@@

Because of Chang Sheng's disappearance in the northern border, Qi Junmu became busy.Overnight, the courtiers handed over countless papers, all of which demanded a thorough investigation of the matter.

No matter what everyone said in the court hall, conclusive evidence is needed to completely wash away the suspicion on Shen Nian or to convict him.

Shen Nian did not appear in the palace these two days because of avoiding suspicion.

Many people began to recommend their own people to go to the northern border to investigate this matter. Many people were recommended. On the surface, they are all people with extremely clean backgrounds, but if they dig deeper, there are some aristocratic families behind them. .

Qi Junmu understood these methods in his heart.

Everyone has to fight for their own interests, and so does every family.

What puzzled him was that Lin Xiao did not move this time, nor did all the courtiers who had a good relationship with the Lin family.

Qi Junmu had something on his mind, so he didn't directly confirm the candidate in court.

He listened to nonsense all morning, left Lin Xiao behind, and made everyone leave.

When facing Lin Xiao alone, Qi Junmu frowned and said, "Uncle, what do you think about the candidate for Chang Sheng?"

Lin Xiao looked up at him, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, this matter is at your discretion."

Qi Junmu's face was a little unhappy, he said: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why can't you just say something?"

Lin Xiao looked at the person who was pushed to the emperor by himself, and then he sighed and said: "Since the emperor wants the minister to speak out, then the minister will say, what is going on with General Zhenxi? Why didn't the emperor seize this matter?" The next opportunity to win over the northern border army, but to help the Marquis of Zhenbei to escape? The minister is probably old, and I really can't figure out what the emperor is thinking."

"Uncle, is there any difference between gathering the army from the northern border and the army from the western border?" Qi Junmu smiled, a little smugly, which softened his clear eyebrows: "Shen Nianren is now in Beijing, under my nose, he I can't find any waves. But Changsheng is different. If I can take this opportunity to seize the western border army, wouldn't it be better? I thought that Changsheng would definitely need a period of time to adapt to the northern border. It's a strange thing to think of other people missing."

"Why does the emperor have such an idea?" Lin Xiao asked.

Qi Junmu looked up at him wonderingly: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Lin Xiao said softly, "The pros and cons of this were analyzed by the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Qi Junmu blinked and frowned, but didn't say a word.

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "Don't your majesty feel that Zhenbei Hou has too much influence on you?"

The emperor didn't say a word, his expression was tangled and then he froze.

Lin Xiao looked at him, then backed away.

Lin Xiao's eyes darkened when the emperor couldn't see him. These days, the emperor's dependence on him became less and less.Many things are hidden from him, Shen Nian knows such a big event in the western region but he doesn't.

Whether he is the left prime minister or the emperor's uncle, this is not a good thing.

This person Shen Nian has the ability to confuse people's hearts, he needs to re-examine this person Shen Nian.

After Lin Xiao left, the emperor's expression returned to normal.

You see, people are like this. In front of uncle Lin Xiao, he always pretends to be in various ways.

But in front of Shen Nian, there is no need.

From the very beginning, what Shen Nian saw was his true face.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu stood up, and he raised his voice to let Ruan Jiqing enter the hall.

Ruan Jiqing came quickly, and before he could speak, Qi Junmu said, "Make arrangements, I'm going out of the palace to see the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Seeing Shen Nian, I can always change my mood, at least I don't need to fake a smile.

"Ah? Going out of the palace?" Ruan Jiqing originally thought that the emperor was going to sneak out again, but then thought of the word "arrangement". He was so excited that the emperor finally paid attention to his own safety.
