Chapter 51: Threats
"Your Majesty, Miss Shen and Mu Gongzi went out of the palace together." When he received a message from someone on the other side of the palace wall, Zheng Fuhai recounted the man's words with all his heart.
Song Heng leaned back on the chair and played with the jade pendant in his hand. Lightly threw out a sentence: "What did they say when they left?" ”
When Zheng Fuhai hesitated, he got up slightly, pinched Zheng Fuhai's chin with one hand, like a fierce hunter staring at his prey, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.
Zheng Fuhai's cold sweat came out of his forehead and didn't run down his cheeks.
Song Heng sat back and said lazily: "Say it." Make it clear, don't leave a word behind. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Fuhai dared to be sloppy again, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, and said, "I heard that Miss Shen asked Mu Gongzi not to let himself disappear in the future, and not to get himself hurt." ”
"What else?" Song Heng said in a deep voice.
Zheng Fuhai was about to answer no, thinking of Song Heng's methods and Fang Cai's words to warn him, he gritted his teeth and added: "Fang Cai, Miss Shen and Mu Gongzi walked out of the palace together with two hands. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Song Heng's expression.
To his surprise, Song Heng just nodded, got a satisfactory answer, and waved his hand to signal him to get up.
Zheng Fuhai stood up, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard Song Heng's words again, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
"You said that if someone threatens me, what should I do with her?"
Isn't this clearly talking about Miss Shen, as soon as Miss Shen left, he asked this sentence. Isn't that the person who threatens the Holy Lord today Miss Shen?
For Zheng Fuhai, Miss Shen looks cold and cold, and she is a very good person. Now that Song Heng asked him like this, he wanted to say a few kind words for her.
"The minion felt that everything should not be pushed too hard. Sometimes, if you let it go properly, maybe everything will go in a good direction. ”
After Zheng Fuhai finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Song Heng with his eyes.
Song Heng is wearing a plain white single dress today, the gloom on the whole body is a little less, and the phoenix eyes overflow with a natural lazy state, it is precisely because he wears white clothes today that he has a clear handsome on his body, and when he doesn't speak, he is more like a handsome son.
Song Heng noticed Zheng Fuhai's gaze observing him, and his face turned cold: "You have been serving me for many years, right?" ”
"It's been more than ten years." Zheng Fuhai spoke. Thinking about it carefully, he has been serving by Song Heng's side since he was a child, and he is only more than ten years older than Song Heng.
"Since you've been with me for so long, don't you still know my temperament?" Song Heng's words are really hurtful, and if they are said to those heroes who have worked hard, it will inevitably make people feel chilled.
But for Zheng Fuhai, where does he have the extra energy to care about the problem of chilling or not now, the key is to save his job and his life.
"The emperor is angry, and the minions don't dare anymore." Zheng Fuhai said with a suppressed voice.
"Do you sympathize with them?"
He is more sympathetic to himself now, and now that his head is in danger, how can he still be in the mood to feel worthless for Miss Shen and Mu Gongzi. Besides, his current master is the current saint, and he doesn't dare to give him a hundred dares.
"The minions don't!"
"Since I didn't, I'll answer my question." Song Heng raised his eyebrows and said.
Zheng Fuhai suddenly sobered up from Fang Cai's thoughts, and Song Heng also put down the jade pendant in his hand, his face was very calm, which made Zheng Fuhai, who was originally a little flustered, put his mind at ease.
He organized his language, and secretly said sorry to Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao in his heart, and began to express his thoughts: "The emperor can wait for the opportunity, and when General Shen's power is weakened, he can hold General Shen hostage and them to threaten Miss Shen, since Miss Shen threatened you today, why doesn't the emperor treat him in the same way?" ”
In fact, Song Heng already had an idea in his heart, and he only thought of it temporarily, and he didn't say anything good about Zheng Fuhai's answer, but silently looked out the window.
"In that case, do as you say."
He knew Shen Nanyan, maybe Mu Zhao's life and death would not pose a threat to him, because once Mu Zhao left, she would never survive.
But if it is a matter of the life and death of Shen's father, Shen's mother and Shen Jin, her decision is afraid that it will not be so decisive, Shen's father and Shen's mother are of great significance to her, how can she watch her elderly parents being hurt for her.
He also knew that as far as the current situation was concerned, although Shen Tuo's military power was taken away, his prestige among the people and even the army was still there, not to mention the elite soldiers and secret guards that the Shen Mansion had secretly cultivated.
Since the founding of the Great Liang State, the country has been governed by law, but the French legal code has not clearly stipulated that the major families cannot privately raise elite soldiers and secret guards, which will not only cause the situation of the DPRK and China officials forming parties for personal gain and controlling the government and government, but will also directly threaten the imperial power. So it seems that why didn't those emperors specifically promulgate laws and regulations?
Since ancient times, the imperial power has been suppressed by the major families, and now it is only in his generation that the military power is largely withdrawn, weakening the relative power and allowing the imperial power to be concentrated. To be precise, it is not that the emperors in the past forgot to promulgate the laws and regulations, but that once they promulgated the laws and regulations, the damage to the interests of the family was small, and the turmoil caused by the court was great. They can't, and they don't dare.
If you want to persecute Shen Nanyan, you need to think long-term.
……………
After Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao left the palace, Shen Nanyan was concerned that he had another accident and asked him to go to live in the Shen Mansion first.
To tell the truth, Song Heng's current behavior is becoming more and more difficult for him to see his purpose, he arrested him and locked him in a secret prison, never came to see him once, and only ordered people to teach him a lesson every day, and he didn't use heavy punishment.
Xu is because he is a literati and is naturally weak, although he has not been punished heavily, he has also had large and small injuries on his body, and now that it is winter, the injuries on his body are even more difficult to heal, and it will take a long time for the scab to form.
After releasing him from the dark prison, he wanted to go back to Mufu, but after thinking about it, it seems that Song Heng did not arrest him because he returned to Beijing without permission, nor did he openly order someone to arrest him, it seems that the people who came to arrest him from the beginning have not revealed their identities, and Song Heng did not reveal half of the news of his return to the court.
In other words, except for Shen Nanyan and a few of them who know about it, Mu Zhao in the eyes of everyone is still at the border.
Although he didn't know Song Heng's true intentions now, after thinking of this, he gave up the idea of returning to Mufu.
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll go and talk to Ah Jin and leave." Mu Zhao said softly and politely declined Shen Nanyan's invitation.
Shen Nanyan didn't invite too much, and nodded in response to his words.
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion, and Mu Zhao raised his eyes to see that compared to the flowers, complexity and triviality in the mansion, the layout outside the mansion was generally elegant and atmospheric.
There is a plaque hanging on the top of the mansion, the word 'Shen Mansion' is written on the top of the dragon flying and the phoenix is dancing, and there are extremely majestic stone beasts standing on both sides of the mansion gate, and the door of the mansion is slightly covered, and the boundary can not be seen at a glance. You can vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions inside, carved beams and painted buildings.
I remembered the scene I saw in the Shen Mansion in the past, the complicated dwellings, the more than 20 paths, the gardens planted with various flowers, and the quiet and elegant environment. Mu Zhao couldn't help laughing, the last time he came to the Shen Mansion, although he and her were close, they were the most familiar strangers to each other, and now when he came to the Shen Mansion again, he and her stood here with their hands clasped. It's really a thing, it's a person, it's not a thing.
When he came to the front hall, after Shen Nanyan asked Mu Zhao to sit down, he personally poured Laojun tea for him, and suddenly remembered the injury on his body, and ordered someone to bring the tea down and pour him a glass of white water in person.
The degree of its meticulousness shocked Shen Chong on the side, he was waiting for Shen Nanyan here on Shen Jin's order, and asked her to go to him as soon as she came back, but now she saw Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao coming back with their hands clasped, but he didn't expect that his young lady would personally serve tea to Mu Zhao.
Shen Chong coughed, trying to attract the attention of the two: "Miss, the young master asked you to go to him as soon as you return home." ”
Mu Zhao already had something to say to Shen Jin, and Shen Nanyan was about to ask someone to invite him to the front hall, when he heard this, he nodded and signaled that he knew.
After she left, Mu Zhao sat on the pestle and waited. The maid who came to serve tea was full of wit, blinked her eyes and said, "Did Mu Gongzi and my young lady come back together?" ”
He has some impressions of most of the maids around Shen Nanyan, like Ah Ci who has been with her, Hong Ying has also seen it a few times, but the maid in front of him has a great eye.
The maid was wearing a lotus pink dress and a clean hairstyle, except for her slightly good appearance, she obviously did not have a little outstanding color on her body, but he was deeply impressed by this maid.
"Yes, I came to Brother Shen for something." Mu Zhao explained kindly. Rao was a little curious about being a maid, but he didn't ask half a point. Keep it and prepare to ask Shen Nanyan in person in the future.
Qingyin found out that Shen Nanyan was not in the Shen Mansion early in the morning, and when she asked Hongying to know that the young lady was out of the door, she came to the front hall to wait for Shen Nanyan to come back.
As soon as she saw Mu Zhao, she suddenly understood why the young lady of his family had never forgotten Mu Gongzi, and the Mu Gongzi in front of her was polite and polite, and he could be regarded as a handsome and unparalleled, fairy-like character with beautiful scenery.
It didn't take long for Shen Jin to come, and when he came, he looked in a good mood and said with a smile: "Why is Brother here when he returns?" ”
Mu Zhao stood up and saluted back: "I've been worried about me for the past few days. Although it was a kind word, it was a little sincere.
Shen Jin naturally understood the sincerity of his words, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "She's worried about it these days, you have time to comfort her." ”
These days, Shen Nanyan's worries about Mu Zhao, as well as the suffering he suffered, are obvious to all, and he is also a little distressed when he sees his sister worrying about her brother so much, lest Mu Zhao lose her.
Mu Zhao smiled: "I know." ”
Shen Jin saw that Mu Zhao was looking for him, and he expected that he had something serious to do to find him, so he waved his hand to let the other people in the house go down first.
