How can a thousand crematoriums be enough?

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Tianqi.

After Yu Mao succeeded to the throne, he implemented a series of reforms. He didn't hold on to the three or four princes before, but let them make up for their mistakes.This made those ministers very grateful.

At the same time, Yu Mao promulgated the most shocking decree.He announced that the Apocalypse Dynasty had shaken hands with the Hu people to make peace, and formulated a series of policies to support the trade between the two parties.

Buy high-quality products such as cattle, sheep and horses from the Hu people to the dynasty, and at the same time the Hu people can also buy enough grain.Even after registration, the land of the people of the dynasty can be leased.

This undoubtedly promoted the rapid economic development of the two parties, as Yu Mao said to Akagi Ude before, a win-win situation.

Palace

"Your Majesty, you have been dealing with government affairs for two nights in a row, take a rest." He Hongxiao, the new Chief Internal Officer, persuaded without exception.

Yu Mao's eye sockets were blue and bloodshot, and his face was haggard. It seemed that he hadn't rested for a long time.

"It's okay, I still have some memorials, hurry up..." Halfway through speaking, Yu Mao's eyes darkened and he lost consciousness.

"Your Majesty!" He Hongxiao was shocked, "Come quickly, pass on the imperial physician!"

"..."

In a daze, Yu Mao heard someone talking.

As if talking about his body.

"It's okay, the emperor is just overtired, I'll take a tonic, and I'll be fine with more rest."

"That's good, thank you, master."

master?

Why do you want to be called a doctor?

And the doctor's voice sounded familiar.

Yu Mao's mind was chaotic and not very clear.I just feel that there is some sweet liquid flowing into my mouth, which is quite delicious.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Mao felt that his head was no longer hurting, so he slowly opened his eyes.

The light in front of him was a bit dazzling, and Yu Mao narrowed his eyes unconsciously.Suddenly a hand stretched out, blocking most of the light, until Yu Mao got used to it and then slowly moved away.

Rumu is a very familiar person, Yuzhu.

Yu Mao was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

Yu Zhu brought a bowl of food from the table, stirred it gently with a spoon, and said, "The imperial doctor invited me to study the prescription together. It just so happened that you passed out, so I'll come and have a look."

Yuzhu's attitude was very peaceful, not as if he was talking to an emperor, but more like talking to a friend.

Yu Mao was taken aback by this attitude, seeing Yu Zhu making a gesture to feed the medicine, he quickly stretched out his hand, "I can do it myself."

Yu Zhu glanced at Yu Mao and passed the bowl over.

Yu Mao drank it all in one gulp, got a little anxious and coughed.

Patted Yu Mao's back lightly with both hands, "Why are you in such a hurry to drink?"

"..."

Yu Zhu's attitude was really wrong, Yu Mao turned his head, "Are you okay?"

Yu Zhu's hand paused, then took it back, "What's wrong?"

In fact, Yu Zhu didn't know what he wanted to do, but he couldn't help wanting to see Yu Mao.So the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital came to him, and he agreed.In the past, he would absolutely not want to go.

Yu Mao shook his head and put the bowl back, "Speaking of which, I still owe you a reward. What do you want?"

"I didn't pull you for a reward."

Yu Mao said, "No matter what you are doing for it, if you help me once, you must be rewarded. Just say what you want."

Yu Zhu looked at Yu Mao, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.

Too polite and too distant.

The young man in front of him erected a high defense, guarding against everyone who tried to get close.

But Yu Zhu also knew that this was normal.

Relatives passed away one after another, and one person gritted his teeth and survived all the betrayal and turmoil.It is definitely a lie to say that I am not tired, and it is impossible to say that I am not sad.

The innocent young man who never knew the world was forced to be stained with blood to become the lord of the world.Just because he passed out from exhaustion today, Yu Zhu could imagine how hard Yu Mao was usually.

He is only 17 years old.

"...Then let me stay and take care of you."

As soon as the words came out, not only Yu Mao, but Yu Zhu was also taken aback. How could he say such words?

Yu Mao half-closed his eyes, "Is this the reward you want?"

It's hard to take back what has been said.What's more, Yu Zhu didn't intend to regret it, she nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then just stay."

"He Hongxiao."

He Hongxiao who was waiting outside the door hurried in, "What orders does the emperor have?"

"Go and get my memorial."

"You'd better rest for a while now." Yu Zhu said disapprovingly.

"No need." Yu Mao looked at He Hongxiao, "Hurry up."

"Yes."

After a while, He Hongxiao came back with a bunch of memorials in his hands.That's not all, there was a court lady following behind, and she also had a bunch of memorials in her hand.

Yu Zhu frowned, why so many.

Yu Mao sat by the desk in the room, dipped the brush in the ink, opened a book and began to critique.

Not long after the new decree was promulgated, there were many issues that needed to be dealt with, so Yu Mao spent almost no sleep these days dealing with the notes from various places.

Fortunately, Yumao reads characters fast, so it won't be too late.There are more and more memorials on the right side of the case that have been approved, and fewer and fewer unapproved ones on the left.

Her eyes were a little sore, Yu Mao rubbed her eyes.Then he pinched the bridge of his nose again, trying to relieve a little fatigue.

Suddenly a pair of slightly cool hands touched the temples, and rubbed them moderately.

The coolness refreshed Yu Mao's dizzy mind a lot, and his head didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Thanks."

Yu Zhu kept moving her hands, but the corner of her mouth raised a barely visible arc.It's just that Yu Mao was critiquing the memorial with his head down, and he didn't see it, otherwise he would be surprised again.

After seeing the last one, it was a letter, Yu Mao frowned slightly, "Chimu Wude is coming?"

Chimu Ude said in the letter that in order to have closer exchanges between the two states, he will come to Tianqi next month.

Yu Mao was a little helpless, saying that the communication was closer, then Chimu Wude obviously wanted to find something.

Since Yu Mao's visit, Chimu Wude seemed to have discovered a strange hobby and harassed him.

From time to time, I have to write a letter, sometimes to ask how Yu Mao is doing, sometimes to ask some management questions, but most of the time it is just nonsense.It was useless except to delay Yu Mao's time.

Originally, I thought it would be fine if the other party got tired of writing, but he still wanted to come over?

Even if Yu Mao didn't welcome him any more, the other party was a barbarian Khan anyway, and there were still necessary rituals.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

In less than a stick of incense, the Minister of Rites hurried over, "Your Majesty."

"The barbarian Khan Chimu Wude will come to the palace in the middle of next month, you should prepare for the welcome ceremony."

The Minister of Rites made a salute, "I obey the order."

Today's papers were all approved, Yu Mao let out a long breath, and looked out the window, it was already evening.

Looking at Yu Zhu beside him, Yu Mao suddenly smiled, "Let's go eat."

Yu Zhu was slightly taken aback by the smile, and it took a while for her to react.Suppressing the strangeness in my heart, I said softly, "Okay."

Yu Zhu ate at the same table with Yu Mao. Although He Hongxiao disagreed, Yu Mao didn't care, and Yu Zhu didn't seem to care.

After feeding a piece of bamboo shoots into his mouth, Yu Mao looked at Yu Zhu, no matter what he did, he always acted leisurely.Including eating is also slow and orderly, and the ivory chopsticks are held on the chopsticks made of ivory with well-defined hands, which make them extraordinarily white and slender.With a handsome face, it looks pleasing to the eye.

Yu Zhu noticed Yu Mao's gaze and looked over, "What's wrong?"

Yu Mao rolled his eyes and grinned, "It's nothing, I just think Master Yuzhu is really good-looking."

The hand jerked, and the heart suddenly jumped, faster and faster.Not only that, Yu Zhu even felt heat spreading on her face, and the roots of her ears were slightly red.

Obviously, it's not like Yu Mao didn't praise him before, but this time it seems to be different from before.The strangeness in the bottom of my heart became more and more impossible to ignore, clamoring in my heart to break free.

"...Thank you for the compliment."

No matter how restless his heart is, Yuzhu's face will always be calm, and others will never be able to guess what he is thinking.

In fact, there are two people who can guess something, one is the abbot, and the other is Yu Mao.

But now Yu Mao doesn't want to guess, what the other party is thinking is not important to him.It's like he didn't know why Yuzhu stayed, but he didn't care, he stayed if he wanted to, and left if he didn't want to.No effect.

"Has the Buddha statue in Xuanhua Temple been built yet?"

One day after the enthronement ceremony, Yu Mao ordered the rebuilding of the Buddha statue in Xuanhua Temple, and it was almost time.

"It's over today."

Today.

Yu Mao thought about it, but anyway, he had nothing to do at night.The abbot seemed to have something to say to him last time, so why not just go there.

Yu Mao didn't ask He Hongxiao to prepare the sedan chair, but only called a hidden guard to follow, and walked out of the palace slowly after the meal, with Yu Zhu walking beside him.

There are still many pilgrims in Xuanhua Temple, and they have not been affected by the previous battle.Even because of the royal family's infighting, many curious people came to see the destroyed Buddha statue.

"You lied to me again, Smelly Jingci!"

In the inner courtyard, Jing Hui was chasing and beating Jing Ci, while Jing Xin and the other disciples were watching the fun, adding a word from time to time.

The abbot walked over, saw this scene, smiled lightly and shook his head, "Jinghui, there are distinguished guests, go prepare some tea."

"Honored guest?" Jing Hui stopped immediately, and nodded obediently at the abbot, "Yes."

Jing Ci poked her head curiously, wanting to see who the so-called honored guest was, but she met Shangyu Cat's eyes.

"Ahem..." Jingci was so startled that he choked on his trachea, and subconsciously took a step back.

It has to be said that the scene where Yu Mao killed more than 40 people in a row left an indelible shadow on him.

Others reacted more than Jinghui after seeing who it was.

It can't be blamed for their timidity. They grew up in temples, and they are all kind pilgrims and kind elders. They have never seen such blood.

Yu Mao glanced over, didn't care about everyone's reaction, and said to the abbot, "I'm bothering you."

The author has something to say:

Yu Mao: In the past, you loved and ignored me, but now you can't afford to look up to me.

Rain Bamboo:  …

Just regret, very regret.
