Chapter 660: The Shackles of the Heart

An Mulong's knife-like gaze turned around Wang Shoucheng, and said coldly: "There is a holy decree, Wang Shoucheng kneels to take it." "The first half of the holy decree is some nonsense and clichés as usual, and half of the second half is nonsense and clichés, saying that Wang Shoucheng has been loyal to the royal family for many years, has merit and hard work, and the Son of Heaven can't bear to see him tired of heavy chores, so he is specially allowed to return to his hometown.

The Son of Heaven wants to allow himself to return to his hometown, but he obviously hasn't resigned! Of course, this is not a big deal, the Son of Heaven said that you have it, you can have it, anyway, this holy decree is also used for others to see.

So far, Wang Shoucheng can only thank Tian's grace, he kowtowed, and was about to reach out to receive the order. An Mulong said: "Slow, there is one more." Wang Shoucheng had to kneel again, this holy decree is stinky and long, ninety out of five words are nonsense, clichés, counting Wang Shoucheng's life history and the promotion trajectory over the years and the merits and hard work he has made, and finally said that the Son of Heaven cares about the old minister, in addition to awarding him the hussar general's idle position, but also giving him the right and right Shence army to view the army and the twelve guards to unify the army, in one breath to promote his official to the top, there is no promotion, let him return to his hometown, even if he dies tomorrow, he will feel that this life is not in vain.

At the end of the holy decree, the emperor felt sorry for his old age, afraid that he would not be able to survive the mountain and the road, and did not allow him to go back to his hometown in Fujian.

Hearing this, Wang Shoucheng only had to be grateful, he couldn't cry, he couldn't kneel for a long time, and the grinding and chirping made An Mulong and Qiu Shiliang feel bored together. An Mulong stuffed the holy decree in his hand and impatiently persuaded him to leave the palace and go home.

Forty soldiers came over, guarding the left and right Shence army and the twelve guards to guide the army out of the palace, Wang Shoucheng wanted to go to the palace to thank him, but Qiu Shiliang refused. Now, Wang Shoucheng knew that the dispute was useless, so he had to sigh, kowtow in front of the palace door in the direction of the emperor's seat, get up tremblingly, hold two holy decrees, and leave the Daming Palace under the guardianship of the armor.

I was in a hurry, and I was not even allowed to go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pack up my personal belongings.

The new house is located in the south of the Daming Palace, the north of the square is the Daming Palace, the west is the imperial city, the east is the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, it is the treasure land and noble land in the head of Chang'an City, which is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

The Xuanhui Yuan of the Inner Court arranged forty slaves and maids for the new house, the Inner Teaching Workshop Department sent a complete set of excellent lists, and the Jingzhao Mansion added a Wuhou shop at the corner of the street, and sent a street patrol to guard the tranquility of the mansion.

All the slaves and maids waited outside the door to welcome the arrival of the new master, although their faces were full of flattery, Wang Shoucheng saw in their eyes schadenfreude and falling into the well.

He smiled bitterly, from now on he was an excellent prisoner in the best mansion in Chang'an City, and he would never want to go out again for the rest of his life.

He didn't ask where his wife and family were, how a prisoner was entitled to enjoy the joys of family in the world, and who could be Amitabha Buddha without implicating them.

Wang Shoucheng sat for a long time holding the holy decree, and finally relieved himself, he asked the slave maid to set up an incense hall to offer the holy decree, burned incense, bowed down reverently, and then instructed the housekeeper to prepare a feast. He picked up the roster of the inner teaching workshop and ordered more than 20 excellent singers in one breath, and asked them to hurry over to prepare songs and dances, and in the evening he would feast the guests and reward them inside and outside.

In the following month, Wang Shoucheng's new house **** sheng song, night and night silk bamboo, three days of a big banquet, **** small banquet endless, in his words is every day for the New Year. When the visitors were cut off, he rejoiced with his guardians. During this month, his recitals had to be transported into the palace by ox carts every day, and his henchmen were demoted, imprisoned, exiled, executed, or committed suicide, or committed suicide every day.

Of course, if you are serious, many of them are not his henchmen, such as Shu Yuanhua, the privy envoy, and Condensing Feng, the deputy envoy of the Xuanhui Yuan, have little to do with him. Shu Yuanhua is a villain who sees the flames and is attached to the situation, an old fritter who has been in the forbidden palace for many years, and his own promotion of him is nothing more than using him, and he is ready to take him on the back at any time. Condensation Feng is Chen Hongzhi's cronies, and he is not familiar with him at all, and even has some opinions about him.

For example, Hu Sijin and Chen Shu, who were stationed in Shangdu Jinyuan in Youzhou, and Chen Shu, who was the envoy of Wufang, were also designated as his rebels. Chen Shu said that after all, he was in the Wufang Envoy and was under his command, although he couldn't get out of it if he didn't kiss him. Hu Sijin was completely used to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and he had nothing to do with himself at all.

However, these Wang Shoucheng don't care about it, his towering tree has fallen, the tree has fallen and scattered, and the people who are attached to him are unlucky, and those who cut down the tree can all get out of the way? It is even more inevitable that the innocent will be harmed, or they will hit the nearby trees, or the flowers and plants on the ground, or the passers-by who happen to pass under the trees.

There are some things that you can't grasp once they happen, and there are people who are too clever and end up shooting themselves in the foot.

People don't hurt the tiger's heart, the tiger hurts people's hearts, not to mention that you take the initiative to provoke the tiger, is it really a vegetarian for the tiger?

……

Hu Sijin returned to the concert hall from the outside banquet that day, and when he saw a group of Jing Zhaoluo soldiers standing at the entrance of the street, he was shocked, and hurriedly dismounted and avoided a noodle soup shop on the street, and asked the owner what was going on in front of him. The shopkeeper said: "A group of people came early in the morning and copied the Youzhou Shangdu Jinjuan Academy, saying that the owner of the courtyard had collusion with Wang Shoucheng. ”

Hu Sijin said: "Probably not, this is the Jinyuan of King Yan of Youzhou, what does it have to do with Wang Shoucheng?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Crazy! Some people above are now catching who bites who in order to invite merit and reward, and yesterday even the Wang Mazi hemp cake shop on the corner of the street was copied, saying that Wang Shoucheng had eaten bread there in the past, isn't this vexatious, Wang Shoucheng still stayed in Daming Palace, you have a kind of fire that burned Beinei. ”

Hu Sijin smiled: "Hugh has to complain, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." ”

No matter why he came to himself, Hu Sijin didn't want to go back to the concert hall, the public gate is as deep as the sea, it's easy to get in, but it's hard to come out.

He hid in a secret stronghold in Chang'an City and sent an urgent report to Youzhou.

Li Mao sneered when he received the report: "Wanting to splash dirty water on my head, it's really blind to their good eyes." This must be a good thing that Zheng Xun did, in order to invite merit, there is no way back, this kind of person will not die sooner or later. ”

Qin Fengmian said: "This person is alive and moist now, Wang Shoucheng has fallen, Qiu Shiliang has risen, the kings of the royal family are vigorous, and the brothers and sisters of the Guo family are also showing their talents, he is now a strange commodity to live in." ”

Cai Wencai interjected: "Without Wang Shoucheng covering the sky with one hand, I think Chang'an will still be chaotic, and it will be chaotic immediately." The bench requires four legs to be stable, and three legs are barely enough, but if one of the three legs is too tall or too short, it will be troublesome. ”

Li Mao suddenly said: "Hu Sijin is more than cautious, not bold enough, and has experienced too little wind and waves, so it will be difficult to become a big weapon after all." Just let them take it, and I'll see what I can do with him. This was a whining word, and the people did not dare to answer. After Li Mao complained, he became angry and said to Qin Fengmian: "You go to Chang'an, talk to them, and get Chen Shu back at any cost." There was no suitable candidate for the concert for a while, so let Hu Sijin do it for the time being, and told him to be tough, don't be like a little girl, don't even dare to sit in prison, what kind of hero! ”

When he returned to the back house, he asked Tian Qian to come to the study to see him. Tian Qian was ordered to return to Youzhou from Bohai to serve as the intelligence chief, but she was not satisfied with the appointment and dismissal, and kept delaying until she could not drag it out until she left west.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Li Yu, Shi Xianzhong, Qian Duoduo and others, the old land of Bohai was not prosperous and the people lived in peace, and now the emancipation of slaves and land reform are being carried out.

Tian Qian is the president of the right compartment of the East three branches, extremely powerful, because it is a new annex, and because it is far away from Youzhou, Li Mao gave her great autonomy, this time she has a place to use, relying on the right compartment to Fuyu, Longquan, Anyuan three people, property, property rights in their own hands.

Li Yu is not in good health, and he has no intention of arguing with her, Shi Xianzhong is jealous that she is Li Mao's favorite and tolerant everywhere, Qian Duoduo only seeks to make meritorious contributions, and has no special interest in taking power, as long as Tian Qian does not put his hand in the army to interfere with his military command, everything is easy to say. He was not interested in local administration, financial and tax sanctions, and personnel arrangements.

The absence of the three Jiedu envoys made Tian Qi's hand stretch longer and longer, and he became the de facto supreme ruler of the entire new territory in the East.

In this case, Li Mao used an intelligence director to transfer her back to Youzhou, and she was naturally reluctant. But she also understands that Li Mao needs her now, and she is fledgling, and she can't fly alone without Li Mao.

After meeting Su Qing and the sisters in the back house, Tian Qian came to Li Mao's study. Dressed in men's clothes, heroic and cool.

Li Mao said with a smile: "Whose light son came to my back house, I am not afraid that I will be jealous and take his life." ”

Tian Qian said: "If I just lose my eyes and hook them away, you will inevitably be too much of a failure as a husband." ”

Li Mao laughed, opened his arms and hugged Tian Qi, and praised: "The muscles and bones are strong, and the heart is also a lot more generous, it seems that the trip to Bohai has benefited a lot." ”

When Li Mao just took her into his arms, she was still a little resistant, struggling to get rid of him, and after she really didn't enter his arms, she felt his warmth, heartbeat and domineering, and never wanted to leave. She raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "I hate you, you are always so domineering, never ask me how I feel, say that if you want me to come back, you want me to come back, like a ghost, you can't wait for a moment." ”

Li Mao didn't say anything, just hugged her so tightly until he turned her into a child. Tian Chen's body was originally covered with hard thorns, and she wanted to use these thorns to keep a distance from him and maintain her autonomy, but now her heart and the thorns on her body were softened by him, not only could not protect herself, but became her own shackles.
