Qingyun Palace, around the square below, hundreds of soldiers stood guarding, outside the door of the main hall, Liu Congxi stood there alone, frowning, an hour ago, in the square not far in front, the Son of Heaven was near, there was an assassination incident, the deputy envoy of Longyou West Daojiedu, the governor of Wuzhou, Li Xun, was stabbed into a serious injury, and now life and death are unpredictable.

Zhao Zhi was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and he must find out.

The door of the temple opened, and the shepherd walked out.

"Wang Anmao hasn't come yet?"

"I've sent someone to inform you, it should be coming soon."

Liu Congxi shook his head, and then glanced into the hall, only to see Zhao Zhi, who was sitting at the top of the house, with a gloomy face and an unconcealable anger in his eyes.

Liu Congxi hurriedly retracted his head and said softly: "Godfather, your old man just came back, and it was such a big thing, it's really a coincidence." ”

"Yes, I just came back, and something so big happened, it's a bit of a coincidence."

Mu Gong nodded and looked into the distance, with an inexplicable color in his eyes.

Liu Congxi said again: "Godfather, Li Xun's assassination is really like what Li Guifei said, but it was done by the Yiwang or the Yang family?" ”

Mu Gong looked at Liu Congxi and asked lightly, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Congxi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Li Xun is Li Guifei's only nephew, with his relationship with the crown prince, in the future political situation, it will definitely play a pivotal role, Li Xun's growth, King Yi and the Yang family... They will never sit idly by, and it is reasonable for them to do this. ”

"Whoever did it, who naturally understands it in their hearts."

Mu Gong said lightly, his eyes looked into the distance again, and not far away, Wang Anmao and an old man were hurrying over.

"Meet the shepherd."

When the two approached, they bowed, and the shepherd said to the old man: "Lord He, go in quickly, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

This old man surnamed He is the head of the imperial hospital, and his medical skills are superb, Li Xun was stabbed and seriously injured, and he was able to treat him.

Yuan Zheng nodded, straightened his clothes, and then walked into the main hall.

"Mugong, is the emperor's anger less?"

Wang Anmao asked out loud, his voice was a little weak, after the Mu Gong was kicked out of the palace, Wang Anmao took over most of his rights, and immediately eliminated dissidents, and suppressed and excluded all the people who Mu Gong was close to, but he never thought that Mu Gong would come back one day.

Mu Gong looked at Wang Anmao and didn't say a word, but Liu Congxi on the side said with a smile: "The door of the palace is just open, you can see when you go in." ”

Wang Anmao lowered his head, was ignored by Mu Gong, and was ridiculed and squeezed by Liu Congxi, his heart at the moment was full of resentment towards the two of them.

Several people were silent, and there was silence all around, but the door of the temple was not closed, and some voices were faintly heard.

At this moment, the crying sounded, it was Li Yi's voice, and soon, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground heavily, and Zhao Zhi's angry voice also sounded later: "A group of waste, even a person can't be saved, what do I want you to do?" I have said first, if Li Xun has something to do with three long and two short, all the people who are present to treat him will be buried together. ”

"The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins."

The courtyard was begging loudly for mercy.

"Get out, I don't want to see you."

Zhao Zhi roared angrily.

Mu Gong's brows were slightly furrowed, but his expression was still calm, and Liu Congxi and Wang Anmao, their whole bodies trembled slightly, since Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne for so many years, it seems that he has never seen such a big temper.

Wang Anmao raised his head and looked at Mu Gong, his face was already pale and colorless.

Mu Gong also looked at him and said lightly: "The emperor's anger is geometric, you should be clear." ”

Wang Anmao's lips trembled, he couldn't say a word, his mind was full of Zhao Zhi's words just now, if Li Xun had something three long and two short, all the people who were treated at the scene would be buried with him, and the imperial hospital would not be in charge of himself?

After a while, two guards dragged the courtyard out, and the courtyard was wiping tears as he walked out into the distance, without looking at the shepherd and the others.

Looking at the back of the courtyard in the distance, Mu Gong shook his head and sighed, and said to Wang Anmao: "Go, the emperor is tired, let this farce end quickly." ”

Wang Anmao nodded, and left a little dejected.

After Wang Anmao left, Liu Congxi immediately said: "Godfather, after you left, Wang Anmao and King Yi walked very closely, is it too dangerous for him to preside over the rescue of Li Xun?" ”

Mu Gong said silently: "Sometimes, the most dangerous, but also the safest, the Imperial Hospital is in charge of Wang Anmao, at this moment, the matter is urgent, human life is at stake, it cannot be delayed, no one is more familiar with the affairs of the Imperial Hospital than him." ”

Liu Congxi thought about it, this is indeed the reason, the emperor has spoken, he can't save Li Xun, all the people who were present for the rescue were buried together, how dare he Wang Anmao not do his best?

"Godfather, you are old and come back, we all have the backbone, you don't know, these days when you are no longer there, Wang Anmao is extremely hateful....."

Liu Congxi was talking badly about Wang Anmao there.

Mu Gong glanced at Liu Congxi silently, and didn't say a word, when he returned, many people, including Liu Congxi, were full of joy, but this kind of joy.... What's more, and for what reason?

When the shepherd was here, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, although there was competition, although there were fights, but they all understood a certain degree of concession, and they didn't dare to do anything too much, and now, but after leaving for more than half a year, everything has changed a lot, such as the contradictions and struggles between Liu Congxi and Wang Anmao, which are already very superficial, and as the two most powerful people in the palace now, once a fight breaks out between them, the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire imperial city will naturally be immediately divided into two factions. I fight... It's not lively, and the chaos in the court, as well as the great changes in the external situation, also make Zhao Zhi have no energy to be distracted at all.

Liu Congxi said for a long time, but Mu Gong didn't listen to a word, but suddenly sighed and said: "Your Majesty, here is not as quiet as before." ”

Liu Congxi stopped talking, and he didn't understand the meaning of Mu Gong's words.

"Godfather, what do you mean by that?"

Mu Gong looked at Liu Congxi and said softly: "I remember that before I left, I told the emperor that I wanted to transfer you to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration, and the emperor had agreed, why didn't you go?" ”

Liu Congxi's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head: "After you left, Godfather, Concubine Li asked me if I wanted to do things by the emperor's side, and the child felt that the godfather left, and there was no one around the emperor to serve him, which was also inconvenient, so that's why... Stayed. ”

Mu Gong stared at Liu Congxi, silent for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed: "The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is better than here.... It's much better, it's your blessing that you can go there, but you don't go, it's really a blessing in the blessing. ”

Liu Congxi still lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Liu Congxi entered the palace since he was a child, because he was handsome, lively, and very smart, and soon he was valued and loved by the herdsman, and stayed by his side to do things, which was his luck, it can be said that the herdsman treated Liu Congxi as half a son, the situation in the court, the herdsman was very clear, and any changes and trends in the court, often implicated everyone in the imperial city, the shepherd's efforts to transfer Liu Congxi to the south of the Yangtze River, but also to keep him away from the land of right and wrong, in the future... may be able to get a good ending, but unfortunately, Liu Congxi doesn't know this truth.

In fact, over the years, because of the shepherd, Zhao Zhi has a lot of trust and love for Liu Congxi, but it is precisely because of the shepherd, Liu Congxi has never been able to get too much power and reuse, and he can't enter the core of the eunuch circle. There are also families and loved ones.
