Zhao Mu coughed heavily, looked at the old eunuch Jiang helplessly, and said, "I didn't expect you to take the first step at this time." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Old Eunuch Jiang can be said to be the absolute henchman of the emperor, responsible for many dark affairs, and when he said this in front of Zhao Mu at this moment, he was probably really tired of it, and he still wanted to live a peaceful life for a few years.

Anyone said this, Zhao Mu could refuse ruthlessly. But the old eunuch Jiang can't do it, he has been a loyal servant of the royal family for too many years, working hard, and even assisting three generations of emperors, although Zhao Mu is helpless to leave like this, he can only accept it.

"Need something? I still have some money in my hand. Zhao Mu glanced at him, although the money in the treasury could not be used privately. But in the early years, when Shen Qiwu was making wine, Zhao Muke invested, and later he did make a lot of money, and he still had some money.

The old eunuch Jiang smiled and said, "The old slave has been loyal to the royal family all these years, and the emperor has rewarded a lot, which is enough for the old slave to support his old age." I came here today to let Your Majesty take care of your health, and I can't serve Your Majesty anymore in the future. ”

Zhao Mu waved his hand and persuaded: "I am not a child again, Jiang Lao can leave with confidence." I hope that in the future, I can still drink and talk happily under the nine shades. ”

Old Eunuch Jiang looked at Zhao Mu's eyes, and always felt that what he said was a bit decadent, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and say, "The old slave will definitely be with the emperor and wait for Your Majesty." ”

In this way, it is enough.

Old Eunuch Jiang pushed the door open, and from then on he would no longer hide in the darkness, and would be able to go out and walk in the open. Although his hands have been stained with too much dirt, he will still be able to face the sun calmly tomorrow.

Because he is no longer a black shadow at the moment, and he is no longer the old eunuch Jiang, his name is Jiang Heng, eternal Heng.

The departure of the old eunuch Jiang was still a little unprepared for Zhao Mu, and the bureau he laid out still needed an executor, and now that the old eunuch Jiang was gone, Zhao Mu had no choice but to look for a new candidate.

And Li Fu seems to be a good choice.

Li Fu is Zhao Mu who has been serving him since he became the crown prince, it can be said that he is a full old man around him, and when it comes to loyalty, Li Fu naturally has no problem.

The only drawback is the lack of some means, and if he is allowed to take over the affairs of the black shadow, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it for a while, but there is no way now, and there is not much time left for Zhao Mu.

Instead of slowly cultivating Li Fu, it is better to rush into battle and get started directly.

It just so happened that Li Fu was on duty today, so he should be outside the imperial study.

"Li Fu, Li Fu, let me in."

Zhao Mu shouted twice, and soon there was a sound of pushing the door outside.

Li Fu was dressed in a heavy service, and his lips were purple from the cold. At this moment, Zhao Mu called him in, and he couldn't ask for it.

"Your Majesty, have an order?" Li Fu rubbed his hands and bowed.

Zhao Mu glanced at him, pouted to the side, and said, "Since you're here, just sit there and warm up!" ”

"Thank you, thank you, your majesty." It happened that there was a chair next to the stove, and Li Fu sat cautiously after thanking him.

Although the emperor gives him a seat, it has to be said that it is a disguised torture for the little people, because you must have a heart of awe and gratitude.

Even if you sit down, you can't sit all of them. You need to stand on tiptoe slightly, and you can only sit in half of the position slightly, so that you can be ready to be sent at any time.

"Li Fu, you've been with me for almost ten years." Zhao Mu picked up a book and said a little casually.

Li Fu nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave has been with you for more than nine years. ”

Zhao Mu nodded and said admiringly: "Your memory is really good." I think that at the beginning, when I was still the first prince, you were assigned to the East Palace. Later, I entered the East Palace, and you have been following me all the time, which can be described as a high level of hard work! ”

Li Fu was startled, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, these are all things within the slave's share." ”

Zhao Mu snorted lightly and said, "I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and since I have merit, I must reward it." Moreover, your loyalty is clear. I have an errand that needs to be done right now, and I want you more in my heart. ”

Li Fu was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please command, even if the slave maid goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, she will definitely complete the things that Your Majesty has explained." ”

Zhao Muzheng said: "Now that the chief manager Jiang Heng is gone, some of the things he has at hand need someone to take over." I had planned to train you, but time waits for no one. I want you to try to start directly, Li Fu, what do you think? ”

Li Fu raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, there was no trace of the old eunuch Jiang, and it seemed that he had really returned to his hometown. Li Fu was overjoyed in his heart, kowtowed a few times on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Although Your Majesty orders, the slave and maid will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

Zhao Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the dark shadow?" ”

"This ....." Li Fu hesitated a little.

Zhao Mu glanced at him and said, "Tell the truth! ”

"The slave has heard of it." Li Fu looked at Zhao Mu a little nervously, for fear that the emperor would blame him.

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "If you have heard of it, you will know that the emperors of all dynasties have some hidden powers. And the black shadows are all the emperor's henchmen, responsible for these private forces. And Jiang Heng is the black shadow, now that he is gone, I think you may be suitable. ”

Li Fu's heart was turbulent, and it turned out that he still had some resentment towards Jiang Heng. Thinking that he was His Majesty's old man, he couldn't be by His Majesty's side for a long time like Jiang Heng, and he could even enter and leave the imperial study freely.

Now, Li Fu finally knows why. It turned out that Jiang Heng, who seemed inconspicuous, turned out to be a mysterious black shadow.

"The slave is willing to give it a try and solve problems for His Majesty." Li Fu knew that this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and knelt on the ground respectfully.

Zhao Mu nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Li Fu.

"Get up, you are the old man by my side, and I naturally believe in you. You take this thing back and take a good look at it, do you know it seriously? Speaking of the back, Zhao Mu's tone became stern, and the power of the emperor was fully revealed, which shocked Li Fu into a cold sweat.

Respectfully receiving the fold handed by Zhao Mu, Li Fu carefully put it into his arms and continued to wait for Zhao Mu to speak.

"Tomorrow night, you go to a place, find him and ......"

The lights in the study were on for a long time, and it was not until later, perhaps because the people inside were sleepy, that the lights were blown out and rested.

The whole palace looks solemn in the north wind and snow.
