In the middle of the night, Emperor Shun still buried his head in the book, and he did this almost every day for nearly half a month. The pregnant queen came to send a supper halfway, and learned that the other party had to work for a few hours, so she went back to the palace to rest alone.

Now it is the end of the month, the moonlight is not bright, and the entire imperial city is pitch black, fortunately, the eunuchs and maids in the palace lit the palace lanterns early, and the guards also carried the lanterns in their hands when they patrolled.

Since the founding of the Taizu Dynasty, several generations of the Wang family have been conscientious enough, and every batch of readings and recitals has been folded until late at night, and this world has been taken back from the hands of the Northern Yuan, and there are few so-called "remnants of the previous dynasty" who assassinate the king.

Even if Emperor Xiaocun, who was usurped, was finally let go by Emperor Shun and entered the temple as a monk, those who supported him naturally did not need to risk their lives to fight the current emperor to the end.

……

"Hey, spirit point, when the commander sees it, I'm going to scold again."

At the west gate of the palace, one of the guards reminded the other, who yawned and muttered:

"The commander is too serious, I've been on an errand here for so many years, where did I meet someone who dared to trespass on the palace gate, oh yes, the eighth prince broke through, but didn't he stop it?"

"Shhhh Be quiet, this matter is the second of the three things that Commander Zou can't mention in his life. ”

"And what's the first one?"

"Yes......"

"If you're not on duty, what are you talking about?" Behind them, a majestic voice suddenly rang out.

The two guards turned their heads when they heard the sound, and said with a smile on their faces:

"Commander Zou, are you here?"

Zou Shun, who was the commander of the Ouchi guard, said "um" lightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally serious face:

"I've heard you'd love to know what I can't mention?"

"Not really."

The previous guard was bitter at this time, and he also blamed himself for being cheap, saying that he had nothing to do.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Zou Shun said, his right foot suddenly lifted without warning, and kicked the opponent's calf with his toes, the latter immediately snorted, and directly squatted down to cover his left leg.

"It hurts, this pain Lao Tzu suffered for eight years, until the eldest lady went to the border." Zou Shun said with a smile on his face.

"I understand the lowly position, and the adults endure humiliation and burden, which is a model for our generation."

The guard's face turned red with pain, but he still forcibly slapped his ass, and Zou Shun continued:

"The most taboo in the palace is that there is no door on the mouth, how many people are because they say something that should not be said, and they will not see anyone alive or dead in a few days. It's okay for you to talk about me behind your back, but don't be bold enough to talk about the royal family. ”

Zou Shun seemed to be physically punishing his subordinates, but in fact he was beating them, it was better to take a calf than to lose his life, and the surrounding guards also knew that the great commander treated them well on weekdays, so they lowered their heads and reflected seriously.

Zou Shun can get to his current status, in addition to his dedication, the most important thing is to have enough eyesight, people are valuable in self-knowledge, even if Zou Shun's status is high, he also knows that he is still a watchdog of the royal family, since he has to do it well, there can be no overstepping.

Seeing that his subordinates were still on the road, Zou Shun nodded, intending to continue to lead the troops to inspect other places, when a breeze blew, Zou Shunhu looked up suspiciously, but saw that the sky had been shrouded in dark clouds at some point.

"It's weird."

muttering in a low voice, Zou Shun walked forward.

……

In the imperial study, Emperor Shun was still reviewing the folds, and the slightly open window blew in a breeze at this time, Emperor Shun only felt a burst of sleepiness coming, and the two eyelids were fighting, there was really no way, so he put the imperial pen aside, gathered his robe, and lay on the dragon eucalyptus to rest for a while.

In the dream, Emperor Shun was still in the palace, and he was sitting on the high dragon chair in the Taihe Palace, but there was no one under the stage.

Just as he was about to get up, he heard footsteps outside the hall, step by step, the sound was not loud, but every step was on his heart.

Emperor Shun only felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if something big was about to happen.

After a while, a figure appeared at the door, and the person who came was dressed in dark red clothes, and saw that the emperor on the dragon chair neither knelt down nor spoke, but still walked forward step by step, until he came to the bottom of the steps, and then he said:

"Are you the current emperor?"

Only then did Emperor Shun see the other party's appearance clearly, this person was not only wearing a red dress, but even his hair and eyebrows were red, and even the depths of the child's hole revealed a trace of red from time to time, and the whole person was full of a sense of strangeness.

Emperor Shun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not panic, and said calmly:

"Who are you, and why are you above my early dynasty?"

"Me?" The man's grim face pulled out a little mockery, "The name of the deity is not worthy of being known by mortals, you just need to know that the deity is here to slay the dragon today." ”

After the red-haired man finished speaking, he jumped up directly, and Emperor Shun was shocked when he saw this, and shouted:

"Where are the guards?"

"Don't scream, it's a dream, no one can save you."

As he spoke, the red-haired man had already come closer, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the other party's neck, Emperor Shun, who was still shouting, immediately lost his voice, and the whole person was lifted up in the air.

Emperor Shun wanted to resist, but he couldn't exert any strength around him, only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, just when he thought he was going to die, the red-haired man suddenly let out a light "huh" and wondered:

"The dragon qi is not in you?"

After the red-haired man finished speaking, he directly let go of his hand, threw Emperor Shun back into the chair, turned around and muttered:

"The emperor of the capital is angry, it will definitely not be wrong, since it is not on you, it must be on that prince, the deity still wants to spare his life, since this is the case......"

Emperor Shun was shocked when he heard this, at first he only thought it was an ordinary nightmare, but the other party's words didn't look like a dream.

He wanted to ask, but the man's figure flashed after he finished speaking, and when he looked up again, he was gone.

Emperor Shun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was shocked, although he didn't know what was going on, but now it seems that the dragon qi did not fall on himself but escaped.

……

At this time, the dragon chair suddenly shook, and then the whole hall trembled, Emperor Shun grabbed the handrail, but still couldn't stop the shaking, until he finally woke up, only to find that someone was shaking himself next to him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's dawn, and the queen mother heard that you didn't go to the early court, so she asked the humble to come and see you."

"What?"

Emperor Shun shook his aching head, turned his head to look out the window, and the sky outside the house was already bright.

It seems that it is a false alarm after all......

Emperor Shun sighed, and planned to ask the people of Qin Tianjian for a while, but at this time, Zou Shun's exclamation suddenly came from the side:

"Your Majesty, your neck."

Emperor Shun was in a daze, and Zou Shun had already knelt on the ground, "If you don't do your job effectively, you should be in danger of putting Your Majesty in danger." ”

"What the hell is going on, stand up and say." Emperor Shun frowned.

Zou Shun trembled when he heard this, got up, walked to the side and brought the bronze mirror, and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, you'd better see for yourself."

Emperor Shun looked at the bronze mirror when he heard this, and saw that there was a clear purple handprint on his neck in the mirror.

"Your Majesty, do you need to ask the imperial doctor to ......?"

"No need." Emperor Shun raised his hand to interrupt Zou Shun, "This matter must not be spread outside, and also, go and invite the eighth prince." ”

"Whoa."
