Chapter 16: The Troubles of the Son of Heaven
The sky is slightly bright, and at the morning clock, the river brings the wind to the shore, raises the clothes, and slightly wets the shoes.
"My lord, it's all in order. You can sail back to Guzhou City immediately. ”
"Yunli, this official is not very comfortable this time, but when he wants to go back, he is even more depressed. I always feel like I'm missing something. Bai Zhou straightened his crown hat, put his hands behind his back, smiled lightly in his mouth, and looked at the river from afar, thoughtfully.
After this night's tossing, Zhao Qingmiao and the others finally left Qingchuan Island smoothly.
"Adults should be the result of hard work, don't worry too much."
Waiting for Bai Zhou to step on the boat, Ji Yunli originally bowed his head and was gentle and submissive, but his face was already sinking like water when he raised his eyes.

Shen Xiao hated his imperial nephew for no reason. Shen Ling has been without the emperor's father since he was a child, so he likes to pester him very much. But Meng Zhiqiu, who is in the line of the Queen Mother, opposes him from time to time, and is very unhappy to see his uncle and nephew close.
Shen Xiao was just a young man with a strong blood in his twenties, accustomed to galloping freely on the battlefield, but after returning to the court, he wanted to deceive me and protect the half-grown stinky boy, which can be said to be half a father, and there are many places to worry. Xiwen is still taught by Taifu, but Xiwu is taught by him personally. However, Shen Ling couldn't support the wall with mud, or it wasn't this piece of material at all, which made him angry for many years.
Today, it has been five days since Shen Xiao left the imperial capital.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad, in the regent mansion at this time.
It has always been called the mansion of the king and grandson, and the mansion has to enter five courtyards and four courtyards, what golden pillar gates, and relief shadow walls. Through the portal, there is a hole door, the eaves are tiled, the corridor is roundabout, the red silk ribbon is hung with colored lights on both sides, the bluestone slab road is winding all the way, the courtyard in front of the court is planted with flowers and trees, and the carp swims under the lotus flowers in the pool.
Shen Ling sat on a yellow rosewood chair, holding his forehead with a headache, and sighed bitterly. Under his elbow is a carved mahogany desk, and the room is bathed in incense. The wall cabinet behind it is placed with gold and silver roasted jade, celadon egret bottles.
Since he and Shen Xiao swapped bodies, and Shen Xiao disappeared again, he was sent back to the palace as a regent.
It's really lively outside. Because Shen Ling couldn't return to the palace as the Son of Heaven, the matter of not going to court for days made the ministers speculate, could it be that the world was going to change hands?
What kind of regent is the son of heaven who is finally going to attack the throne...... Rumors such as these spread throughout the DPRK and China. Of course, the terrifying thing of swapping bodies, except for his own knowledge, he never dared to tell others.
Shen Ling has only been the emperor for ten years, and he is also very incompetent, and now he wants to pretend to be the regent, and he is not deep, so he can only pretend to be calm.
However, there are courtiers who are not afraid of things to play together, and they know the reason, and admonish each other with death, "The country can't be chaotic, the regent must give a reason."
He couldn't wait to play it immediately: Day by day, it has always been you courtiers, who are full of impeachment and admonitions, and there are only a handful of people who really share the worries of the court.
Shen Ling wanted to think about it, but he was still sensible. He can't be the Son of Heaven now, and he is not really Shen Xiao, how can he be arrogant and arrogant.
Shen Ling finally realized this time, not only the throne was hot, but even the regent's chair was not easy to sit on. Thinking of being lazy in the past and blaming Shen Xiao for everything, I immediately felt guilty in my heart.
If you can find Uncle Huang back, you must complain well.
Fortunately, Guo Bu came up with an idea, found a hidden guard of similar size in the Imperial City Division, and placed it in the palace first. To the outside world, it was always declared that 'Your Majesty occasionally felt a cold' to stabilize suspicions and control the situation.
The assassin who was caught that day committed suicide by poisoning himself on the spot, so it is not known who instructed him. The situation is unbelievably turbulent and cannot be acted upon lightly. The most important thing at the moment is to be able to send someone to find the emperor's uncle back and find a way out.
"Why is Pei Yan here?"
As soon as Shen Ling looked up, he found that Gonggong Pei and Guo Bu were standing on one side.
"The prince forgot? Pei Yan was also a hidden guard of the Imperial City Division. Father-in-law Pei looked calm.
"Oh, this king has a headache, and he forgot about it for a while." Shen Ling hurriedly lowered his head and stuck out his tongue.
Fang just almost slapped his mouth. If the two of them are suspicious, they don't know how much trouble they will set off.
- It doesn't seem quite right for the prince to speak today?
- Maybe the last time I was assassinated, where did I fall?
Pei Yan and Guo Bu are old acquaintances of the Imperial City Division, and the two deliberately avoided some angles and secretly used lip shapes to talk.
Shen Ling thought angrily: How can this be true, you really can't see me?
"At the moment, it seems that appeasing the DPRK is not a long-term strategy, and the Imperial City Division is willing to take the order and go to find His Majesty back." Guo Bu stepped forward, his face serious and awe-inspiring.
Shen Ling's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to stand up, he immediately thought that his identity was different, and asked in a suppressed excitement and in a deep voice: "Okay, how are you going to find someone in the Imperial City Division?" ”
"The minister has a good candidate, and he is a junior disciple who is not a minister. This person was stupid in the past, and after being expelled from the Imperial City Division, he wandered in the rivers and lakes, created a Thousand Machine Pavilion, and made a living similar to the Imperial City Division. It is not okay to alarm the local officials with this matter, but they can spend some money to entrust the people in the rivers and lakes. ”
Gonggong Pei glanced at Guo Bu from the side: What junior brother is not? He remembered the silhouette of a person, and unconsciously curled his lips. This Guo Bu didn't have to say that his junior brother was well-dressed and had a bad stomach.
Shen Ling didn't actually have any idea, so he agreed after thinking about it. "This matter is entirely up to you."

The courtyard of the house is not big, a plaque is hung on the gray door, and the three big characters of the pen and ink are swiped, and the pavilion of a thousand machines. Words are like people, but they want to be crazy but not publicized.
"Little brother, is your pavilion master here?"
The little guy in front of the door was lazily cleaning, and turned around suddenly, but saw two eyebrows frowning on a goose egg face, and the stone blue sleeved strongsuit looked heroic. She raised her eyebrows and pointed angrily: "Who do you call little brother?" Your whole family is little brothers! ”
"It turned out to be a little girl, I'm sorry....." Guo Bu hurriedly explained, but he didn't know that the other party had already taken out two short swords from his back, and he didn't take him to slow down at all, so he rushed straight over.
Guo Bu didn't move his feet, but just raised his sword to block it.
The silver light flashed, and with a "bang", the other party hurriedly took a few steps back.
Where did she get so much resentment? Who provoked her? It's really hard to raise only villains and little women.
Guo Bu sighed in his heart, this little girl's strength is not small, her moves are clean and neat, and she is a good seedling for practicing martial arts. Then he scolded sharply: "Slow! You little girl is so rude! The elders just ask a word, and you use the knife? Hurry up and ask Qin Jin to come out for me! ”
"Bold! Where did the bad old man come from, he dared to call my pavilion master by his name! The other party was like a fried cat, clenching the short thorns and puffing out.
Bad old man?! Guo Bu Yanyan: Is he only thirty-nine? Even if you run for the court and your majesty, you won't grow old and become this virtue, right?
The little girl's black and white round eyes slipped away, and she stepped on the stone, and the momentum struck again.
Guo Bu is also the first person in the Imperial City Division. This time, in the spirit of politely begging for help, I was forced to retreat by a little girl when I arrived at the door.
Yes, he can easily win in terms of martial arts, but he is ruthless to a little girl, and he is not martial.
