Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Qi Junmu said this sincerely and felt very sad. He didn't expect that Shen Nian was the first to say that to him, or he never thought that anyone would say that to him at all.

The queen mother is his biological mother, the most honorable woman in Daqi.Palace people dare not talk about it. When he had a conflict with the Empress Dowager, even Ruan Jiqing who was beside him did not dare to say anything wrong with the Empress Dowager, so he could only stand aside silently so as not to upset him further.

As for the court, it is even more impossible. All the civil and military officials are men, and who would talk about the queen mother of a country.What's more, there will be some people who support the queen mother, and think that it is the most unfilial thing for the emperor to quarrel with his mother as a son of man, and even try to use these things to suppress the emperor and make him reflect in order to enrich his rights.

Even when Lin Xiao, who supported his superior position, told him some truthful words, he was also implying to him that he should take a step back and that the relationship between mother and child should be peaceful.

No one thought that the queen mother was wrong. When they heard that the queen mother had a quarrel with the emperor, their first reaction was that peace is the most important thing in the royal family.As long as there is no major event where the queen mother wants to listen to the government behind the curtain, the emperor should take a step back, and then take a step back.

Qi Junzhuo understood his grievance and embarrassment in his heart, but he would not say it.

Qi Junmu thought that he would listen to such words for two lifetimes, but he didn't expect to hear the words "the queen mother is too much" in Shen Nian's mouth today.Qi Junmu didn't think he was an emotional person, but when he heard Shen Nian say that, he suddenly felt wronged.

It was like under the curtain, someone finally lifted a corner, allowing the corner to be illuminated by the sun.

Just a few words, but the emperor's heart warmed up.

He looked at Shen Nian quietly, and saw Zhenbei Hou frowned after saying this, with a hint of annoyance on his face.Qi Junmu raised his eyebrows slowly, thinking to himself, maybe Shen Nian is planning to take back what he said.

Shen Nian raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and met Qi Junmu's eyes.

Shen Nian's heart trembled slightly when he was looked at by the emperor's eyes. In order to avoid being found out, he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, what I said just now should not be said by a humble minister..."

The emperor hummed lightly, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I know you don't mean it."

At the same time, Shen Nian said: "I shouldn't have said it, but this is what I have in my heart, and I just feel that the emperor has been wronged."

The two voices fell at the same time, and Shen Nian raised his head again to meet the emperor's eyes.Shen Nian was a little tangled in his heart and face, he was thinking, what does the emperor mean by this, is it intentional to blame?

But at this time, the emperor smiled, and the grievances in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

A smile spread out from the corner of his eyes little by little, and finally covered the emperor's clear and handsome face.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Shen Nian's mind, this person who existed as high as the moon hanging in the sky was very close to him now, as if he could touch it as long as he raised his hand.

He was thinking about this in his head, but the words in his mouth were sober. He heard himself say half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide what I think in front of the Emperor. I am disrespectful to the Queen Mother. If the emperor wants to punish, then the humble minister will also admit it."

"You've already said that. If I punish you, isn't it a waste of your loyalty to the emperor?" Qi Junmu said coolly.

Shen Nian blinked his left eye, he looked extremely innocent.

Qi Junmu looked at him, the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he said, "Shen Nian, you are so interesting."

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, with a cautious expression on his face, he asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? I am a military commander, I don't read much, and I have a straight temper, so I can't tell whether the Emperor is praising or mocking. "

"What I said is naturally a compliment." Qi Junmu gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

Seeing the light smile on Shen Nian's face, the Emperor felt a little happy because of the brisk smile on his face, and he said in his heart: "I am so old, you are the first one who dares to say in front of me. The one who went too far with the Queen Mother is also the last one. I am a little happy in my heart."

Shen Nian was obviously stunned for a moment, because the emperor's calm was also because of the sincere joy on the emperor's face, and then he said: "It's fine if the emperor doesn't blame the humble minister for being rude."

Qi Junmu smiled and shook his head, expressing that of course not.

The emperor felt that chatting with Shen Nian was really a comforting thing. After talking to him about all the repressed unhappiness, his heart became very open and happy.

After the gloom in his heart dissipated, the emperor felt a little happy.

The emperor was happy and wanted to reward Shen Nian with something, but thinking that Shen Nian was under confinement, rewarding him with things was too eye-catching, so the emperor asked someone to have a meal with him.

It can also be given to outsiders that the emperor's meal with Zhenbeihou is to untie each other's knots.

Whether it is true or not, everyone has their own guesses.

Also after the two had eaten, Ruan Jiqing came to report that Lin En had rejected the marriage in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and that Fuhua sent her own cakes to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager didn't even see anyone, and only let the maids around Ruyan tells Fuhua that she has a light appetite recently and doesn't like to eat dim sum.

In front of Fuhua, Ruyan rewarded the pastries to the maids who did rough work, saying that it was the empress dowager's intention.

Fu Hua's expression was extremely embarrassing at that time, he forced himself to salute the queen mother outside the palace, then turned and left.

"It is said that the princess cried a lot when she returned to her palace." Ruan Jiqing finally said.

Of course, when he said this, he whispered in the emperor's ear, his voice was so small that Shen Nian who was present did not hear it at all.

Qi Junmu sneered when he heard this, and said, "It's really interesting."

Shen Nian saw the calculation in the emperor's eyes, he knew that some things were inconvenient for him to listen to, so he said: "Your Majesty, there are still things that have not been dealt with in the Imperial Guard Department, so I will leave first."

The emperor regained his composure and said with a smile, "Go ahead and do your work."

After Shen Nian left, Qi Junmu looked at Ruan Jiqing and sighed: "My sister has been held in the palm of her mother's hand since she was a child, and she has never been wronged. I'm afraid she will be sad."

He said this with sincerity, without distorted pleasure.

It was the queen mother who ignored him, and had nothing to do with Fuhua. He never felt it was unfair because Fuhua was favored by the queen mother.It's the adult's fault, what does it have to do with anyone else who is also a child.

Ruan Jiqing understood what the emperor meant, and he sighed: "Who says it's not? In this way, who doesn't know that the empress dowager has disgraced the princess. The most important thing in this palace is people who praise the high and trample the low, and the princess does not." I have suffered this kind of hardship, and I have never been wronged like this, so I don’t know if I can stand it.”

Qi Junmu looked at Ruan Jiqing and said, "I seldom hear you speak for someone, why, what kind of benefits did Fu Hua give you?"

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the princess has never given any favors to the servant, and the princess is not that kind of person." At this point, he paused for a while but continued: "The servant just thought of when the emperor was still a prince, when Prince Jin was still a prince. In the prison, the emperor tried to wash away the grievances of the prince day and night, and once he was cold, he became hot that night. The slave was punished by the queen mother, but the princess felt that the slave was pitiful and pleaded with the queen mother, and gave the slave back I took the medicine. If it wasn't for the princess, how could the servant have the life to serve the emperor again."

At that time, Fuhua said this to the queen mother, Ruan Jiqing was the emperor's usual servant, if it was because of something wrong with the queen mother, Qi Junmu must have complained about the queen mother when he woke up.Now that Qi Junmu's body is important, there is no need for a slave queen mother to be angry with him.

Because of Fuhua's words, the queen mother spared Ruan Jiqing.

At that time, the queen mother was not yet the queen mother, and Qi Junzhuo had just taken the scapegoat for Qi Junmu. She was afraid in her heart, afraid that the impersonal Emperor Jing would not make it through.

At that time, the queen mother was worried about Qi Junmu and stayed up all night.

The emperor also remembered what Ruan Jiqing said.

When he woke up from his serious illness, he was grateful to Fu Hua in his heart.

He has a queen mother and a sister by his side, but the person who treats him most carefully is Ruan Jiqing.

Thinking of this, the emperor chuckled, and he gave Ruan Jiqing a white look and said, "I didn't expect you to be a long-term lover."

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are slaves like masters, and slaves are honored by their masters." You see, there are people in this world who regard speaking as a talent.

In one sentence, he complimented the emperor and himself, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.

Qi Junmu said: "I remember that my sister likes incense, you go to the House of Internal Affairs to choose some good ones and send them there yourself. My sister also likes gorgeous silks and satins, so you also pick some for her."

The queen mother is the master of the harem, but the emperor is the master of Qi.Without the love of the empress dowager and the protection of the emperor, who can despise Fuhua?

There was a big smile on Ruan Jiqing's face, he was not as flattering as he used to be at all, he said: "I obey the order." But he turned around and took two steps, then turned around and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Queen Mother will Won't you be more angry?"

The Empress Dowager obviously wanted to leave Fuhua alone, and the emperor's intervention might make the relationship between mother and child even worse.But from the bottom of his heart, Ruan Jiqing is still on Fu Hua's side.

Qi Junmu said impatiently, "I'm not worried, why are you worried?"

Ruan Jiqing knew that the emperor didn't care about his small thoughts, so he was happy and left.

When Ruan Jiqing disappeared from sight, the emperor sat on the chair and fell silent.

He was thinking of Fuhua and Queen Mother, even Lynn and Yueshi.

The emperor knocked on the table with his hand, hearing the muffled sound, he narrowed his eyes.

When the emperor was thinking about something seriously, an inner eunuch outside the door said that the Marquis of Zhenbei asked to see him.When he heard that it was Shen Nian, the emperor was overjoyed, Shen Nian's elegant and handsome face appeared in his mind, and he was also a little happy, he said: "Let him in."

Compared to the emperor's joy, Shen Nian's expression was a bit serious. After paying his respects, he took out a letter and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent urgently from Xing Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, from eight hundred miles in the west."

Qi Junmu withdrew his mind, and said, "Take it here."

Shen Nian handed over the letter, and he secretly raised his eyes to see the emperor's expression.Ordinarily, it was a secret letter, so it should be sent directly to the palace, and should not have fallen into his hands.

He had been waiting for the emperor to ask, and he would tell the reason why the letter came to him.

Whether the others believed it or not, he wanted the emperor to believe his word.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't ask at all.

Qi Junmu opened the secret letter, frowned, then he handed the letter to Shen Nian and said, "Look."

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, then bowed to accept the letter, he read it quickly, Xing Yi first said in the letter that they were repairing the frontier defense in the western region, and only said that everything was progressing smoothly.

The Western Territory Army was originally a little confused because of Chang Sheng's disappearance in the Northern Territory, but fortunately, it was temporarily suppressed by Qi Junyan and Cheng Jin.The main reason is that Qi Junyan is also a ruthless person. When Chang Sheng went to the northern border, he began to spread the news among the western border army, saying that Chang Sheng had gone to take over the northern border army.

At that time, this matter was hidden from Cheng Jin. After Chang Sheng disappeared in the northern border, Qi Junyan did not hide it from others, so that Cheng Jin went crazy when he found out, and used his anger to kill several generals in the western border who wanted to make trouble. He was beaten hard.

Then, stepping on the faces of these people, Cheng Jin told all the soldiers in the western border that Chang Sheng's disappearance in the northern border has been investigated by someone, and no one can blame them for things that the northern border army did not do.

What the military pays attention to is prestige and momentum.

As soon as Chang Sheng entered the northern border, he lost his prestige with the general of the west. No one could overwhelm Cheng Jin's momentum, and his image in the western border army immediately became taller.

In addition, he was sent by the emperor, and there were imperial guards by his side. Thinking of his current situation, the army in the Western Region looked at him with a little sympathy, and felt that what he said was very reasonable.

But what Xing Yi wanted to say in this superstitious letter was not these, he was very down-to-earth, he wrote what Qi Junyan and Cheng Jin did well, and also wrote what was bad.

For example, after Cheng Jin knew what Chang Sheng was going to the northern border for, his whole face was as black as the bottom of a pot.Watching Xingyi and Qi Junyan every day is like watching an enemy without talking about it, and sometimes sarcasm.

But Cheng Jin was brought out by Shen Nian, and he is quite upright.He also knew that the soldiers guarding the frontier worked hard, so when there was trouble in the western border army, he was the first to stand up.

At that time, Cheng Jin also said this sentence, he said that he did not stand up for the title of high official, but just did not want these western border troops to get angry and go astray for a while.

Qi Junyan was very satisfied with Cheng Jin's attitude. After the army's morale in the western region stabilized, he praised him severely.

That's okay, but Xing Yi mentioned at the end that he accidentally discovered that Prince Rui Qi Junyan had a night meeting with Xidi's envoys at the border.

Seeing the end, Shen Nian frowned.

Qi Junmu said: "What do you think about this?"

Shen Nian didn't know how to raise his head, so Qi Junmu smiled slightly: "How does Cheng Jin evaluate Prince Rui?"

Shen Nian's face changed slightly.
