Are you stupid?

For an external official, five years may be just a starting time for them to accumulate qualifications.

But people are never different.

One of Mu Huaiyuan's greatest achievements in Shu is not humane to outsiders - he shattered the plan of Jiayu County King to commit chaos in advance, but it is precisely because Mu Huaiyuan did all this in the process of "Jiayu County King's plan" ", many things are even in the "tacit understanding" of all participants, even if Mu Huaiyuan made such a feat, Emperor Yuanhe could not use it as a basis to add officials to Mu Huaiyuan.

So what Mu Huaiyuan relied on to return to Beijing has always been a hidden worry in Shenlong's heart.

After ascending to the throne of God, Shenlong is no longer just a "Shenlong". He has become the monarch of the country, and his words and deeds are watched by countless people. taciturn.

Of course, Shenlong's boredom seems to the courtiers to be more like the depth after adapting to power.

Therefore, no one can listen, and no one dares to listen to Shenlong's innermost thoughts.

The five-year appointment was approaching, and Shenlong became more and more impatient in the court hall, and finally couldn't help but get angry at the strict management who dared to catch him up a quarter of an hour late and reprimanded him sharply.

As soon as the scolding sound came out, Shenlong couldn't help pinching his forehead, quickly restrained his violent aura, lowered his voice and whispered to the speech officer who was stunned, "Ai Qing, please step back, I was so upset last night that I couldn't sleep, and today I am in a bad mood. "

Even if he never said bluntly "it's my fault", the emperor did not insist on saying "it's my fault" because the emperor was able to say this, and insisted on fighting the emperor who was always enlightened and good-tempered over a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body should be the most important thing." After the official made a gesture of caring, he borrowed the donkey from the slope and retreated to the team.

Shenlong looked down, but there was still no figure of the courtiers that he had been waiting for for a long time. The feeling of fatigue suddenly attacked Shenlong's mind, so that he no longer had any extra energy to entangle with the courtiers.

Shenlong waved his hand, "I'm tired."

After finishing speaking, Shenlong stood up, regardless of the expressions on the faces of the courtiers, got off the dragon chair and went to the apse.

"Jane is in the emperor's heart" Shen Yu quickly chased after him, but Yuan Hedi was nowhere to be seen in the apse.He paused for a moment, turned around, and headed towards the palace where Emperor Yuanhe lived.

Shen Yu stepped quickly, and really caught up with Yuan Hedi who was sitting on the chariot with a calm face in front of the palace gate.

The sun shone on Yuan Hedi's face, casting a shadow under the long eyelashes, making those deep eyes a little fragile.Shen Yu's heart moved, and he held Yuan Hedi's arm very intimately, and whispered into the young man's ear after Yuan Hedi landed and stood firm, "Your Majesty, Mu Huaiyuan set off a month ago, counting the days, the distance from the capital It's not far away."

Shenlong's eyelashes fluttered a few times. He didn't immediately look at Shen Yu's expression, but after a subtle pause, he couldn't help laughing.

"Shen Yu, do you know? He Ming once told me that you are a smart person."

If it was a few years ago, Shen Yu would have been elated when he heard that Mu Huaiyuan had praised him; but now that he has seen the relationship between Mu Huaiyuan and Yuan Hedi, Shen Yu wished that no one in the world would know his age. He had crossed paths with Mu Huaiyuan when he was young.

——I just bore the gossip about my relationship with Yuan and Emperor, but the relationship between them has never surpassed the difference between monarch and minister, but it is different from Mu Huaiyuan who became the king's pamper!

Seeing that Shen Yu was silent, Shenlong shook his head, with a wider smile on his face, "You must be thinking 'disdain to Mu Huaiyuan to be with you'."

"Shen Yu, you are indeed a smart person, but you have to know the truth of 'a good swimmer drowns in water'. You have done some things, and I think it is because of your young friendship with Zhentong and the good words Mu Huaiyuan said to you For the sake of it, I let it go lightly, but don't think that I didn't notice anything, and don't think that I was soft-hearted. I have been on the plane for five years, and how many courtiers I have killed, you should remember it better than I do."

Shenlong's voice was very soft, and his tone was very gentle, but the cold sweat on Shen Yu's head rose layer after layer.

Shenlong stretched out his hand to hold Shen Yu's shoulder, and patted it a few times. Shen Yu's feet were already weak and fell to the ground.

Shenlong kept on stepping, continued to walk inward, sat by the pool, fiddled with the flowing water with his fingers, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more mocking and stern, thinking in his heart, if Shen Yu didn't stop, he would soon kill the corrupt officials. The so-called "hero" was moved once.

Being an emperor is not a good job. After a long time, it is inevitable to lose confidence in human nature - the people you face all the time have a pair of eyes full of beasts/lust, and no one can maintain a normal heart.

Of course, Shenlong understands the benefits of power, but he still can't understand how his subjects gradually become like donkeys who are blindfolded. As long as they smell the fragrance of power, they will rush in the dark regardless, completely ignoring the people who are close at hand. Murderous.

Shenlong covered his eyes and sighed softly, "Not only them, but also me..."

Now he has become less and less emotional about "killing the courtiers who made mistakes", so what about the future?

The bottom line of a person is always lowered inch by inch.

This boring court can't bring him much happiness, and the courtiers' various small thoughts will only make him more tired. If he can't find the anchor point, he will cut through the bottom line sooner or later, and become no different from the fatuous and brutal kings in history. difference people.

"Your Majesty, Shen Shizhong knelt outside the palace gate and refused to get up..." the female officer reminded Yuan Hedi in a low voice.

Shenlong sneered, and said coldly: "If he wants to kneel, let him kneel, and he will get up naturally after he thinks clearly."

Just because Shen Yu knelt down did not mean that he was afraid or repented.He dared to kneel openly outside the palace where Emperor Yuanhe lived when he was a child, so that the maids who came and went could see him, so he was fighting against the dragon?

Shen Yu has always been the "accompanying reader" who has followed Emperor Yuanhe the most closely over the years. There are almost traces of his participation in the discussions before Emperor Yuanhe's decree is issued. It can be said that even if Shen Yu leaves the palace, Yuanhe is still rubbed on his body. God's light.

——Shen Yu relied on Yuan and Emperor to get a group of supporters, and the strength of this group of people should not be underestimated.

Now he knelt outside and let people watch the discord between Emperor Yuanhe and his near ministers, but he was watching the embarrassment of the old ministers around Shenlong who were about to leave and the new ministers hadn't been tempered.

But Shen Yu miscalculated a bit, unless it is the last king who can be manipulated by others in this world, the king is doomed to be strong and his ministers weak.

Yes, in order not to let the world go through the flames of war, relatives are separated, and bloodlines are severed, even the most tough and cunning courtiers would rather sit on the dragon chair with a ruthless character who can suppress the country.

Shen Yu was too young and proud to fail to see that the group of people who used to push forward against him and constantly fueled his ambition had gradually retreated, only waiting to see his jokes.

Originally wanting to rest his mind alone for a while, Shenlong, who was sorting out his emotions, became more and more irritated by Shen Yu's kneeling, so he simply removed the palace gate from the side and wanted to follow the path back to the big study.

——When he and his courtiers were able to follow the right path and do shady schemes to break through tricks, Shenlong really didn't bother to play tricks with them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mr. Mu Lang has arrived at the gate of the city!" Zijing excitedly ran all the way with her skirts in her hands, ignoring the palace rules.

Yuan Hedi, who was bored before, burst into a smile that was three points brighter than the sun in an instant, and ordered without hesitation, "Get up, I want to pick Heming up personally!"
