Tian Mu couldn't figure out what happened to the Beiya Reverse Scale Division that he was in charge of? Why is it that even the defense of the headquarters is like a sieve, full of loopholes.

Just now, when he came back from outside, he entered the signing room of the guard, and saw Shen Lie sitting in his seat with his feet crossed on the bookcase.

Tian Mu was shocked in his heart, and was about to shout for help, but he didn't expect a cold light to flash in Shen Lie's eyes, which instantly calmed him, and at the same time whispered in his mouth: "Don't shout, otherwise you will take your dog's life within three moves." ”

Tian Mu knew very well that Shen Lie was not bragging. is a weak scholar who is powerless, let alone three moves, and it is estimated that he will not be able to withstand one move.

He calmed down slightly, lowered his voice and shouted, "Shen Lie! How daring! Dare to appear in the imperial capital at this time? Believe it or not, this official gave an order......"

Before he could finish speaking, the brush in Shen Lie's hand suddenly shot out, and it was nailed to the pillar next to Tian Mu with a bang, and the pen was two inches into the wood.

"No more nonsense, the next target is you." Shen Lie said as he picked up a pen from the table again, and kept turning it around his fingertips, looking relaxed and calm.

Tian Mu broke out in a cold sweat on his back, he couldn't help but look at the brush inserted in the pillar, and then said without embarrassment: "Lord Shen, Xia Guan admires you from the bottom of his heart, and he is really heroic." Dare to ask what the honorable driver came to me for, should it be to seek revenge? There is a saying in advance, if the lower official is dead, you will definitely not be able to escape. ”

Shen Lie smiled disdainfully, and pointed to the seat next to him with a brush: "Sit down first, let's talk slowly." Don't worry, Shen is not here to kill you today. If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have to show up, and you'd already be dead, wouldn't I? ”

Tian Mu sat in the chair, and while thinking quickly about how to save his life and get out of trouble, he said with a dry smile: "Lord Shen, the lower officials know that you and I had a holiday at the beginning. But that is the emperor's will, and there is no way for the lower officials. For you personally, there is no disrespect or grudge against the lower officials. ”

Shen Lie didn't say anything about this, only nodded slightly, and then asked: "Tian Mu, as a long history, you are in charge of the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division, why is the emperor in trouble, but he stands by and watches?" ”

Tian Mu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "You...... You didn't come here to save the emperor, did you? ”

"Why not?" Shen Lie asked coldly.

"Oh my God!" Tian Mu's eyes immediately widened: "Your Majesty made you so miserable at the beginning, and almost died in the prison of the Reverse Scale Division, and now you still want to save him?" Is there really such a stupid person in this world?! ”

"You have a point." Shen Lie nodded: "In this way, Shen really shouldn't save him." But you should protect him. ”

Tian Mu waved his hand again and again: "Lord Shen, the lower officials may as well tell you clearly." The emperor has never really trusted me, and I, the head of the Reverse Scale Division, are also in name only. What's more, the people who are guarding the emperor now are all elite guards of the queen's lineage, and if they send people to rescue them, they can only be sent to death in vain like last night. ”

Shen Lie raised his eyebrows: "Last night?" Do you know what happened last night? ”

Tian Mu didn't know that Shen Lie didn't know what happened in Fengyi Palace last night, and he was just lying to him by saying this, so he said casually: "Xia Guan just came back from the palace and is responsible for cleaning up the mess left by Ouyang Lin. More than 20 tigers and leopards rode the old department, except for himself, there was not one left, it was really a sin! ”

Shen Lie reacted extremely quickly, and immediately guessed that it was probably Ouyang Lin who led people to the inner court to rescue Li Bing and failed, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

He snorted coldly and said deliberately, "What kind of thing is Ouyang Lin?" With his little deeds, he also wants to accomplish great things? Joke! ”

"That is to say," Tian Mu echoed: "Ouyang Lin thinks too highly of himself, and underestimates the means of the queen too much, and in the end, he needs the emperor to sacrifice his life to protect himself in order to get away alone." However, he couldn't jump for a few days, and General Cheng Nan had already sent a flying horse to chase him, and he must have been unable to escape death. ”

Shen Liejian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he secretly calculated in his heart: The incident happened last night, and Ouyang Lin shouldn't be able to run far. And Yuan Bin and I came all the way east, but we didn't meet him, so we probably fled in other directions. Although this person is ruthless, he can still risk death to save the driver in this environment, and he can be regarded as loyal. If you have a chance, you should inform the people in the Intelligence Department to pay attention, and if necessary, reach out to Ouyang Lin and help him.

Seeing that Shen Lie was silent, Tian Mu boldly asked: "Lord Shen, the imperial capital is dangerous for you, and Beiya is not a place to stay for a long time, what is the matter with you looking for an official?" ”

Shen Lie snorted coldly and said lightly: "If Shen Mou asks you to stop the precipice and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, are you willing to do it?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Mu showed a sly smile: "My lord." Xia Guan is just an ordinary courtier, Your Majesty doesn't trust me, does the queen trust me? Speaking of which, in fact, like most officials in the DPRK and China, I only know that I follow orders and act according to orders, and I do not belong to either side, and there is no distinction between light and dark. ”

When he said this, he wanted to clean himself up: The emperor and the queen are fighting, and I can't be a small person, and I don't stand on either side. All actions are subject to the will of God.

Shen Lie looked at him and sneered: "Lord Tian is really smart, he can leave himself clean with a simple sentence. Since you say that you have a neutral position, then Shen will not force you, I just hope that when you encounter something, you can be forgiving and forgiving, don't make too many enemies, and one day in the future, I am afraid that it will not be good to pay back. ”

"Naturally, there are a number of lower officials." Tian Mu's eyes rolled and asked, "Lord Shen took the risk to come here, should it be just to remind me?" ”

Shen Lie smiled: "Of course, Shen came to visit because he wanted to ask Lord Tian for help." ”

Tian Mu narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Xia Guan guesses, if I say that I don't want to help, Lord Shen will definitely not let me live anymore, right?" ”

"Why keep useless people?" Shen Lie asked rhetorically.

Tian Mu secretly screamed in his heart that he was unlucky, but his face was as calm as possible: "Lord Shen, if you deliberately cheat me, I won't be able to survive with the queen either, compared with the two, it is better to fight with you and die together!" ”

Shen Lie knew that this cunning guy was still scheming with himself, and whatever he said was to end up together, it was nothing more than wanting to have more bargaining chips for negotiation, so as not to completely fall into the situation of being at the mercy of Shen Lie.

Shen Lie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't force you to confront Cheng Wen, I just want you to write a note." ”

"What's the note?" Tian Mu asked vigilantly.

"The emperor has been bedridden for a long time and can't manage the government," Shen Lie stared at the other party's eyes tightly: "I respectfully ask the queen to listen to the government on behalf of the monarch and preside over the court meeting." ”

As soon as these words came out of Shen Lie's mouth, Tian Mu almost dropped his jaw on the spot: "You, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Shen Lie sneered: "I risked my life to come here to see you, is it for a joke?" ”

Tian Mu was stunned for a moment, and when he found out that Shen Lie was indeed not talking back, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said in a low voice: "The queen will listen to the government, then it is tantamount to clearly plotting to usurp the throne. ”

Shen Lie looked at him for a long time, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think Cheng Wen will return the government to Li Bing next?" ”

"Of course not." Tian Mu replied without hesitation: "The emperor is back in power, the first thing is to destroy the nine clans of the Cheng family, no, if you don't do it, the ten clans will be killed." The queen has embarked on a path of no return, and there is no turning back. ”

Shen Lie said: "Since there is no way to turn back, sooner or later we will have to usurp the throne." Isn't it the first time you have this trick at your fingertips? ”

Tian Mu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "What's in it for you?" …… Oh, I know, the queen usurped the throne, just so that Li Jiangyao became famous and raised an army to fight! Right? ”

Shen Lie followed his words and said, "It's not wrong that you think so. But don't worry, I asked you to write it, even if Cheng Wen falls and is destroyed in the future, Shen will prove it for you. In this way, not only will you have no fault, but you will have merit. ”

Tian Mu's face showed a hesitant look, obviously calculating his pros and cons. But Shen Lie would give him more opportunities to think, and threatened with a brush in his hand: "You only have two choices, either use this pen to write a song, or use this pen to end your life, pick one." ”

-

A day later, "Meng Xi Playing Pair", which was evaluated as "notorious" by later historians, shocked the entire government and the opposition.

Meng Xi is the word of Tian Mu, the imperial historian.

This Lord Tian Mengxitian, the emperor of the table, suggested that during the period of His Majesty's recuperation, Empress Cheng Wen should exercise the imperial power on her behalf, and participate in court meetings and decide state affairs in the form of listening to politics.

In this strange article, Tian Muyang wrote more than 3,000 words, not only slapping Cheng Wen's sycophants in a variety of ways, but also quoting scriptures and classics, listing the female monarchs who have appeared for thousands of years from ancient times to the Holy Tang Dynasty and their glorious exploits, to prove the rationality of the queen's temporary presiding over the government on behalf of the emperor.

It can be said that this shocking performance is enough to put Tian Mu Lingchi to death and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

However, what is strange is that the advent of the song did not attract a wave of curses and opposition from the government and the opposition. On the contrary, not only were they silent, but some officials praised and echoed what Tian said.

In the face of sharp sabers, most people made a "wise" choice: even if they did not tend to be inflammatory, they would never stand up. Anyway, this world is not my family, whoever loves is in charge, and it is good to be able to live in peace.

Since there was no fierce resistance, the inner court soon spread the edict of the emperor Li Bing:

Accepting Tian Mu's suggestion, on the first day of the next lunar month, that is, three days later, the long-interrupted court meeting was officially resumed, and the queen listened to the government on his behalf.

In addition, Tian Mu, the imperial historian, was loyal to the monarch and the country, wise and accessible, and was actually a talent for governing the country.
