[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

Tan Muqiu sat on the couch in only his pajamas, seeing Lidong's complexion suddenly changed, he felt a little proud.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Lidong is stupid, I don't know..."

"I don't know, it's okay, think about it slowly." Tan Muqiu pulled the quilt to wrap it up, raised his chin and pointed to the desk in the distance, and said, "Go grind the ink, and fill up the inkstone on that side."

Lidong did as he did, and after grinding the ink, Tan Muqiu yawned and said: "Choose the smallest pen, write the four characters of loyalty to the emperor and servant, and write the ink until the end." After finishing speaking, he lay down on the couch and ignored Lidong.

Lidong didn't dare to disobey his order, so he had to follow his order and began to write the four characters "loyal to the emperor and serve the master".

Tan Muqiu was lying on the couch, but couldn't sleep.Lidong seems to be quite scheming, and he still wants to serve others with sex, and he doesn't know what his plan is.Rong An is honest, and I don't know if Li Yu valued this honesty so he kept him by his side.It's a pity that despite thousands of calculations, he still died in the hands of this honest man, but it's not known whether the mastermind behind the scenes was the one who was writing.

Tan Muqiu couldn't fall asleep, so he simply put on a robe and got up and left the palace gate.Rong An, who was guarding outside, was startled, and hurried forward to pay his respects, but Tan Muqiu grabbed his clothes and picked them up, saying, "I'm demanding my life from you."

Rong An's face turned blue and pale with fright.

Tan Muqiu sat on the stone table in the courtyard, pointed to the stone bench next to him, Rong An had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.Tan Muqiu looked down at Rong An, thinking that this person is so timid, how dare he harm the emperor?

"You are so stupid and ugly, why did I keep you by my side?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Rong An made a bitter face, and said: "Didn't your Majesty say at the beginning that the slave is ugly and stupid, and he doesn't care about it when he stays with him, and he is not afraid of others' thinking about it, so he keeps the slave by his side?"

"Haha." Tan Muqiu laughed loudly, and said, "But you are still remembered by others."

Rong An knelt down and kowtowed immediately after hearing the words, and said, "This servant deserves to die, I owe His Majesty the Emperor's favor..."

"I can keep you and Lidong alive." After Tan Muqiu finished speaking, he saw Rong An's expression and knew that he had guessed roughly. Sure enough, Rong An was used by Lidong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong An's expression was extremely exciting, and he was filled with mixed feelings for a moment.

Tan Muqiu sighed, and said, "Nowadays, you are the only person I can trust. You don't want to give me soothing soup anymore." Rong An anxiously wanted to show his loyalty when he heard the words, but Tan Muqiu waved his hand.

"Your soothing soup didn't poison me to death, but I forgot many things." Tan Muqiu shook his head and sighed. You have to help me think about it." Rong An nodded hurriedly, and Tan Muqiu asked Rong An to sit on the stone bench, and looked down at him from the top of the stone table.

"There is still Hongfeng in this palace, I don't remember it." Tan Muqiu asked.

"Your Majesty can't remember, and it's reasonable. There is only one maple tree in the palace. When the late emperor was in power, the garden was a resting place for the companions of the princes. Your Majesty would never have the chance to go there. "Rong An said.

Tan Muqiu knew this earlier, but he also pretended to be thoughtful, and asked again: "Then why is it deserted now?"

"Later, the princes gradually got older, and the accompanying sons also grew up. It was really inconvenient to go back and forth to the palace. Many of the accompanying princes have now entered the court as officials. Speaking of which, General Zhao also stayed in that garden back then. A few years." Rong An said with emotion.

Tan Muqiu thought in his heart, finally got to the point.

"General Zhao... well, I don't know how to treat him." Tan Muqiu thought about it.

Rong An heard the words and said: "General Zhao is an upright person. When His Majesty was still the crown prince, he was His Majesty's personal bodyguard. It's just...it's just that General Zhao often offends His Majesty for some reason, so he has always been alienated from him. .”

Tan Muqiu looked up at the moon for a while, feeling a little confused.He thought that Zhao Qingming would be able to achieve success with Li Yu, but this is what happened.However, the general of the Habayashi Army is considered to be under one person in the imperial city.

"Did I have close concubines before?" Tan Muqiu asked.

"Your Majesty has always been very restrained. You can't go to the harem once in ten days and a half months." Rong An thought for a while, and added: "Occasionally, you will summon the young master... to serve you." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing .

Tan Muqiu hooked the corner of his mouth, leaned over to look at Rong An, and said suddenly: "You have already realized that I am different from before."

Rong An suddenly raised his head, a little panicked, then slowly calmed down, knelt down and said, "Your servant is stupid, Your Majesty has always been Your Majesty."

"Then how is I different now compared to before?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Rong An was silent for a while, and said, "There is nothing the same."

It seems that although Rong An is dull, he is not stupid.Tan Muqiu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help sighing, since Rong An can easily see it, there must be no one to hide it from.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty used to not like to talk too much in front of people, and there were very few people who served him closely for a long time. Even if it was Mr. Zhao, His Majesty was extremely indifferent to him and rarely talked to him." Rong An said.

Tan Muqiu smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

Rong An said calmly: "After the bowl of calming soup last night, the servant has no life left. To live this extra day is already stealing life. From now on, whenever His Majesty wants the servant to die, the servant will not dare to complain."

"Where's Lidong?" Tan Muqiu said.

"Although the servant is dull, he is not a person who can distinguish between right and wrong. Lidong's life and death are entirely up to His Majesty." Rong An said.

Tan Muqiu thought for a moment, and thought, it's good to be clear in this way.If Zuo Rong'an didn't have the emperor's protection, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in this palace. As long as he did better than Li Yu, Rong'an had no reason not to be loyal to him.

"Why does Lidong want to harm me?" Tan Muqiu said.

"Last night, His Majesty passed on Li Dong's service, and Li Dong cried to the slave, saying that he was afraid of His Majesty... His Majesty... He gave the slave two pills, saying that it would make the man have no desire for a while, and the slave agreed for a while." Rong An was afraid at the time. The pill hurt his body, and he only used one for Li Yu, but he didn't expect to poison him to death, so there was the scene Tan Muqiu woke up to see later.

"You are so kind." Tan Muqiu said with a smile.

"I was confused by Lidong for a while, I didn't expect him to be so scheming, and I almost made a big mistake." Rong An said, "Unfortunately, I don't know why he wanted to murder His Majesty, but I still want to find out the truth even if I die. .”

Tan Muqiu thought in his heart, if you could find out, you wouldn't have done such a stupid thing in the first place.

"Assuming this incident never happened, you just said you were afraid and threw away the medicine. I have my own concerns about Lidong, so don't meddle in it." Tan Muqiu said.

Rong An hurriedly responded.

Tan Muqiu said again: "I want to go to Guzhou."

Rong An was taken aback, and said: "Although Guzhou is safe now, the courtiers are talking about it, saying that King Ning'an's army will go all the way to the south, and they will break through Guzhou in less than two months. I'm afraid it will be dangerous at that time. If Your Majesty wants to Go, you must go before King Ning An's army arrives."

"Two months?" Tan Muqiu was taken aback, and asked, "What date is today?"

"September [-]." Rong An said.

Isn't it November [-]th?It turned out to be two months ago?Then... I am still alive!

Tan Muqiu had an unbelievable expression on his face, and then gradually calmed down before realizing his negligence.If it were November, it would have been snowing in the central capital long ago, and it would never be like it is now.It's just that I was too surprised for a moment and didn't pay attention to these details.

What now?

Since he is still alive, then find a way to prevent himself from going to war on November [-]th, so that this can be prevented from happening, and everything will be back on track.

He didn't want to be the Emperor Lao Shizi for a day.It's not that he never thought of helping Li Jin successfully sit on the throne with the convenience of his status, but firstly, he has no way to start with the affairs of the court, and secondly, when that day comes, can Li Jin believe that he is Tan Muqiu?Also, he was not sure that he would survive to the day when Li Jin invaded Zhongdu.

The only and best choice is to prevent Qin Muqiu from dying. As long as he does not die, he joins forces with Li Jin to attack Zhongdu, and then he will be a general of the Habayashi Army with peace of mind, and kick Zhao Qingming down from this position. It could not be better.

"Ah..."

"Your Majesty, it's even more serious, you should go back to your room and rest. Let's discuss the matter of Guzhou in the long run." Rong An said.

Tan Muqiu stretched, tightened his outer robe and walked towards the hall.At the gate of the hall, Tan Muqiu motioned for Rong An to go in with him, and Rong An quickly responded.

Lidong still wrote "loyal to the emperor and serve the master" in front of the desk, and dared not speak.Rong An was taken aback when he saw this, blinked, and then stood there attentively.

"Rong An went to see if he was serious about what he wrote." Tan Muqiu said casually.

Rong An stepped forward in response, seeing the paper full of "Loyal to the Lord and Attendant" and seeing Li Dong's face, he felt a lot more relaxed.He was originally dissatisfied with being used by Lidong, but now he doesn't care about it, because he won't give the other party another chance to use him.

"Return to Your Majesty, the writing is acceptable." Rong An said.

"Well, Lidong, go back and learn the rules, go out and watch the night at the entrance of the hall for Rong An. Let Rong An serve me tonight." Tan Muqiu said.

Lidong kowtowed to thank him as if he had received an amnesty.When Lidong came out of the palace gate, the corners of Rong An's mouth twitched a little, and he stood far away with an embarrassed expression and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is ugly, with rough skin and thick flesh..."

"What are you thinking about? Go sleep on the couch in the side hall." Tan Muqiu said with a look of disgust, then pulled the quilt over and closed his eyes.

Rong An smiled embarrassedly, couldn't help but patted himself on the head, and then went to blow out the candle, leaving only an oil lamp with a faint flame.He took the cushion and slept under his clothes on the ground in front of Qin Muqiu's bed, thinking to his heart's content, the new His Majesty is really nice.
