Rebirth of the Faint Lord

No matter what Qi Junmu was thinking about in his heart, he never showed it on his face.On weekdays, those who should go to court go to court, and those who should talk to ministers talk to ministers.

The emperor replied as quickly as possible to the letter sent by the lord of Sidi, telling them to send envoys.In his reply letter, the emperor also said very sincerely that although Xidi was a barbarian land and could not be educated, he had a heart that loved learning, which was very commendable.

Since they have this request, Daqi's country will naturally be opened for them.But even so, you have to pick some smart ones, otherwise you won't learn anything.

Thinking of Monarch Xidi's expression when he saw the letter, Qi Junmu was in a good mood, so he sent it out of Beijing quickly.In this life, Xidi and Daqi never fought, so he had to give up his popularity before talking about it.

Perhaps it was the calm before the storm, and no moths appeared inside or outside the court hall.

Shen Nian didn't run to Beishan much, which reassured many people.As Prince Rui and Prince Jin got closer and closer to the capital, everyone's hearts began to stir again.

Right or wrong, people will know when they come back.

No one knows what the emperor heard from the female assassin, but judging from the gloomy expression on the emperor's face, something must be wrong, which is a great disadvantage to Prince Jin.

Thinking of the deep brotherhood between the emperor and Prince Jin in the past, some ministers couldn't help but feel emotional. The emperor has stopped delivering things to Prince Jin's mansion recently.

In just a few short months, Prince Jin and the emperor have become strangers, and it is impossible not to feel emotional.

The days went on like this day by day, as Prince Rui and Prince Jin got closer to the capital, it was rare to find peace inside and outside the palace, and there were a lot fewer books than usual.

The emperor was in a bad mood, and no one dared to write trivial matters to make the emperor angry.

Qi Junmu was in a very good mood about this. When reading the brochures on weekdays, many people were writing nonsense, especially those sent from other places. There were countless people who wrote that they missed the emperor and wanted to go back to Beijing to see the emperor.

Now the notes are concise and clear, and the courtiers can explain things simply, without making things complicated.Qi Junmu's time spent correcting the papers was greatly reduced, and his mood naturally improved a lot.

When talking about this at night, Qi Junmu said to Shen Nian in his arms with a bit of complaint: "If they can keep doing this, I won't be so troublesome to read the scriptures on weekdays."

Shen Nian was resting on Qi Junmu's arm. Hearing this, he chuckled and said: "The eyes of an official are the brightest. Knowing that the emperor is in a bad mood, why would he rush to come here to make trouble. After a while After a while, the emperor is afraid that he will be tired again."

Local officials who want to be officials in Beijing must let the emperor remember themselves.

In order for the emperor to remember himself, in addition to the assessment by the official department, he must also leave an impression on the emperor.On weekdays, it has become a habit to talk about the daily life in the booklet, talk about the customs of the place where you are, and express your thoughts about the emperor.

Thinking of the emperor's inadvertent frown when he read those excerpts, the corners of Shen Nian's mouth couldn't be suppressed anymore.

"Shen Qing is laughing at me?" Qi Junmu tightened his arms and pulled him into his arms.Wearing underwear, close to each other, can feel each other's temperature.

"I don't dare, I don't, I just tell the truth." Shen Nian said sullenly.

Qi Junmu snorted twice, squeezed his cheek with his hand and said: "Forget it, I will let you go this time." Then he touched Shen Nian with the other hand and said: "In the palace Why are you still so skinny after making up for so long?"

Shen Nian's tense face could not be controlled, it became red and hot.

He moved his body uncomfortably, and Qi Junmu naturally knew that he was uncomfortable, so he chuckled twice and said: "Go to sleep, I have something to do tomorrow."

Shen Nian hummed lightly and closed his eyes.

Only the slightly trembling eyelashes let people know that he did not fall asleep, and his mood was not very peaceful.

The emperor looked at his handsome eyebrows, his eyes were bright and deep, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.I don't know how long it took, the breathing of both of them became even, and they both fell asleep.

Since the last time the emperor dragged people to the dragon bed, the side hall of Qianhua Hall has been unoccupied at night.

Of course, every time Shen Nian stayed overnight, Ruan Jiqing was on duty.

At such a critical juncture, the emperor will naturally not allow Shen Nian to be attacked for his personal moral issues.

The next day, when Shen Nian woke up, Ruan Jiqing was helping Qi Junmu change his clothes.

It was not the first time for Shen Nian to see him wearing a dragon robe, but every time he saw him, he was amazed.

Every time lying on the bed and looking at the emperor up close, Shen Nian felt in a trance.Such a lofty emperor actually belongs to him.

It's incredible to think about it.

But Shen Nian knew that everything was true, Qi Junmu was taking this relationship seriously, and he was taking him seriously.

The emperor said one thing, and only when he was closest to him would he know how gentle the emperor was.During the private time, when Qi Junmu was with him, he didn't look like an emperor at all.

He would joke around, play tricks, and never let Shen Nian feel alienated.

He took into account all the emotions of Shen Nian as a courtier.

Such a gentle person belongs to me, and thinking about it is a happy thing.

Qi Junmu straightened his clothes, then he looked at Shen Nian and said, "Did I wake you up?"

Xu was wearing a dragon robe, the emperor's voice was the same as before, but it gave people a sense of majesty.

Shen Nian shook his head and said, "It's time to wake up at this point."

"Do you want to go to court?" Qi Junmu said casually, ever since Shen Nian was under house arrest in the palace, he rarely went to court.

One is to avoid those gossips, and the other is that the emperor will tell him many things in private, so he doesn't bother to tell lies with people who don't like him in the court.

Naturally, Shen Nian refused to go to court.

But before the emperor left, he got up anyway.

Although this is the emperor's bedroom, no one dares to enter without the emperor's permission.But at a special moment, if someone who is not afraid of death sneaks up and is found lying on the dragon bed, it will be extremely bad for the emperor.

He is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, so in this respect, Shen Nian is still very careful.There is no reason for the risk that can be avoided to happen.

When Shen Nian returned to his side hall, Qi Junmu went to court in a sedan chair.

The emperor is in a good mood, which is the common aspiration of the courtiers today.The ministers looked at each other without speaking.

They didn't talk, but Qi Junmu spoke, he said: "A few days ago, didn't it say that Prince Rui was about to return to Beijing? Where are they going now? When will the envoy of Xidi arrive?"

"Prince Rui will be able to return to Beijing today, and Xidi's envoys are already on their way, they will be able to enter Beijing in five days." Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly came out and said.

Qi Junmu smiled softly and said: "The days when Prince Rui and Xidi envoys return to Beijing are not too far apart."

All the officials analyzed whether there was any deep meaning in their hearts to the emperor's chuckle, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites who stood up pretended not to know anything, and said in a business-like way: "The envoys of Xidi hurried on the road, saying that they were sent by the emperor. I am convinced, I want to see the demeanor of the Great Qi King as soon as possible."

"That sounds good to the ear." Qi Junmu said, his expression relaxed two points: "It is reasonable for Da Qi's grace to attract the attention of barbarians like Xidi."

Minister of Rites: "..."

It may be that there is something wrong with his ears. Why do you feel that the emperor is very complacent when he said this.

Lin Xiao couldn't help looking up at the emperor, and then he shook his head secretly in his heart, thinking, the emperor is indeed still young, and he would be happy if Xidi gave him an ordinary compliment.

Many people took the opportunity to sing praises that the emperor is a rare British lord in Daqi, and Xi Di bowed down for it.

This time the monarch and his subjects had a great time in the court, and they were very happy with each other.

After going to court, Qi Junmu returned to Qianhua Hall in a good mood.

After pushing the door and entering, Qi Junmu wrinkled his nose. He glanced at Ruan Jiqing and said, "What's the matter with the incense in the hall?"

The incense used by the emperor since he woke up was made by Bai Feng and others from the imperial hospital. The smell is very light, but the smell of the incense today is obviously different from the past. It seems to have some floral fragrance in it, which the emperor is not used to.

The most important thing is that everyone in the palace knows his hobbies, and they will never change the spices without permission.

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly summoned the palace servants who were on duty today to inquire about the situation. A young eunuch stood tremblingly and said, "The spices in the palace are used up today, and the servants haven't gone to the House of Internal Affairs to get them. These are sent by the Queen Mother. , said it is very useful, the servants will use it first."

The emperor was stunned for a while, then he was silent for a while, and said, "Everyone, step back."

The incense was sent by the Queen Mother, but Qi Junmu knew that the Queen Mother didn't like incense at all, and those who liked incense were always gentle.

Is this Wen Wan borrowing the Empress Dowager's hand to show favor or weakness to him, or is there some other purpose?

Qi Junmu returned to the hall, watching the smoke drifting over the Zijin incense burner, he was silent.

No matter what purpose Wen Wan came here to send incense, this is the first time to send incense, and she will not add anything harmful to it.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu looked at Ruan Jiqing and said, "I changed the incense, I'm not used to the smell."

Ruan Jiqing lowered his head and answered, and then he said: "Your Majesty, do you want your servant to check the details of that eunuch?"

The emperor said: "You don't need to go, I will let other people investigate. For the rest, stay put."

Ruan Jiqing withdrew.

When there was no one in the hall, the emperor sat on a chair and sneered.

In the afternoon, Qi Junyan returned to Beijing with Xing Yi. After returning to Beijing, he immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor, but was sent back by Qi Junmu on the grounds that he just returned to Beijing and needed to rest.

That night, the emperor summoned Xing Yi into the palace, but the question was unknown.

Five days later, Xidi's envoys entered Beijing, but they did not see the Daqi Emperor, and they were received by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and arranged to stay directly.

Two days later, Prince Jin and Yang Jinglei entered Beijing.

Shen Nian led the imperial guards to the farewell pavilion to meet people. This time after Qi Junzhuo returned to Beijing, he did not enter the palace, but was brought directly to Prince Jin's mansion by Shen Nian.

After bringing him here, Shen Nian looked at Qi Junzhuo and said with a smile: "My lord, every plant and tree in Prince Jin's mansion has been seen by the emperor with his own eyes, if something is not in line with what the lord wants, the emperor will definitely make people change it. "

Qi Junzhuo looked at the beautiful courtyard. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Master, please thank the emperor for me."

Shen Nian responded, before leaving, he said that there were no personal guards in Prince Jin's residence, so he left some of the guards behind.

Speaking of protection, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor obviously put Qi Junzhuo under house arrest.

The news spread quickly, and when it reached Qi Junyou's ears, he was drinking in the palace. When he heard the news, he stopped drinking slightly, then he snorted and continued to drink.

At this point, Qi Junmu's suspects and non-suspicious people gathered in the capital.
