Raising a Dog is Better than Palace Fight Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Resurrection (2)

　　All the lights in the room had been blown out, leaving only a candle on the table. Under the flickering candlelight, Yan Junwei's expression was a little erratic. After listening to Emperor Zhou Wu's simple narration, he closed his open mouth and sighed in disbelief, "It turns out that the emperor is really possessed by that Abao. When I guessed this possibility, I thought I was too whimsical. Ah! This world is really full of wonders!"

　　"This is the fate between me and Sang Yu. It is destined by God." Emperor Zhou Wu spoke slowly, with a faint smile on his face, which seemed to be reminiscing and reminiscing. His deep eyes were filled with unmistakable tenderness.

　　It was the first time that Yan Junwei saw him looking so gentle and affectionate, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless. Even when treating a good concubine, the emperor only showed a little more kindness and gentleness, and he never showed his current obsession. It seems that Concubine De has already held the emperor's heart firmly in her hands.

　　"Did Concubine De know the Shen family's conspiracy early on? She is really Meng Changxiong's daughter. The tiger father has no dog daughter!" He deliberately complimented him, but when he saw the emperor showing an expression of pride, he couldn't help but smile, "It seems that Concubine De is very kind to A Bao."

　　"It's more than good." Emperor Wu of Zhou murmured. Thinking about it now, there is still a hot feeling of happiness lingering around him, which is especially close to his soul on this winter night.

　　"By the way, send people to the muddy beach as soon as possible to search and rescue Duke Meng Guo and Han Changping. They were ambushed by the barbarians and were forced there." Thinking of his father-in-law, Emperor Wu of Zhou felt a shiver in his heart, and the look on his face All tenderness was replaced by dignity, "After all, I am too impatient. Han Changping is young and vigorous, how can he be qualified to replace Meng Guogong? If he has nothing to do this time, I will give up his position as the right general and send him to Meng Guogong for further training for a few years. . ”

　　"I will send people to search and rescue immediately. We will wait until they return safely." Yan Junwei agreed and gestured to the subordinate guarding the door. The subordinate nodded and immediately disappeared into the night.

　　"Also, when the imperial edict issued by Shen Huiru reaches the border, you will send someone to kill Xie Zhenghao. There is no commander in the army due to the war, so the deputy commander can temporarily act as the commander, without the need for the capital to accept his fate. The deputy commander in the army is Meng Liang, He is Meng Guogong's right-hand man. With him leading the army, this battle may not be won, but it will definitely not be lost. It is the twelfth month of winter, and the barbarian army is short of food and clothing. The battle has been stalemate for a while, and the barbarian army will lose without a fight." Emperor Wu of Zhou He closed his eyes slightly and analyzed slowly, with a chilling look on his face.

　　"The Emperor will not leave Xie Zhenghao to accuse Shen Zhongliang of collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Yan Junwei said hesitantly.

　　"Shen Zhongliang, hum, does he deserve this name?" Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled sarcastically, tapping his slender fingertips on the table, "The world belongs to me, and it is enough for me to confirm this crime. There is no human or material evidence." I can also kill the Shen family. If you kill Xie Zhenghao, go to his house and search for letters about his collusion with Grand Master Shen. If the letters are disposed of, you can fabricate a few letters at will. As long as they are somewhat decent, take them. When I go to court, I say it’s true, who dares to say it’s false?”

　　Yan Junwei only agreed and mourned for Grand Master Shen. He is so good, but he insists on believing in "wealth and honor come from danger". Now, instead of seeking wealth and honor, he has put the whole family's life at risk. If the Shen family father and daughter could cooperate with him and keep the emperor's body safe and sound, when the emperor wakes up, wouldn't the Shen family soar into the sky? People, just can't be swayed by temporary greed, otherwise you will regret it!

　　After issuing the order in an orderly manner, Emperor Zhou Wu felt a little tired. Upon seeing this, Yan Junwei quickly asked someone to bring water in to wash him up, and also called all the miracle doctors from the side hospital to consult with him.

　　After sleeping for four months and almost five months, Emperor Zhou Wu still lost a lot of weight even with the best elixirs to sustain his life and massaging his muscles three times a day. But fortunately, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had a very solid foundation. After soaking in the bathtub and drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, he felt much better.

　　"What does this taste like? It's simply unpalatable!" He put down the bowl and frowned slightly.

　　"I specially asked Chef Wang, the most famous chef at Taotie House, to cook this for you. Just smelling it makes me feel hungry. Logically speaking, you haven't eaten in four or five months. Shouldn't you be calling for another bowl? Yan Junwei took the bowl and asked with raised eyebrows.

　　"I can't even match half of Sangyu's craftsmanship. I don't want to drink a second bowl." Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial city, as if he wanted to see through the void where Sangyu was. It was okay not to mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, the longing for Sang Yu surged into his heart like a tide, making him feel unable to breathe. He couldn't hear her smile, couldn't see her face, couldn't touch her arms, and he felt something was wrong all over.

　　"I think you're in love with the water." Yan Junwei teased with a smile. At last he seemed to have thought of something and added, "I just got the news that A Bao is missing. Concubine De stayed up most of the night and searched all over the palace. Even the emperor was looking for her. I was shocked. I heard she even cried."

　　After saying this, Yan Junwei carefully observed the emperor's expression.

　　"Crying?" Emperor Zhou Wu was stunned, his brows furrowed unconsciously, his eyes gradually became flushed, and the hand on the edge of the tub clenched hard, and the knuckles turned white.

　　Is this, is this a heartbroken expression? Yan Junwei blinked in disbelief and sighed secretly: It seems that the emperor has completely failed this time. To feel heartache like this for a woman, what is it if it’s not love?

　　"Junwei, find a way to send me to the palace as soon as possible and switch with the substitute." Gritting his teeth, Emperor Zhou Wu suppressed the pain in his heart and ordered in a deep voice.

　　"Why don't you just kill the Shen family and the substitute before you show up openly? It's not easy to replace you two quietly. The substitute brings the entire imperial guard with him when he comes in and out, and the Shen family's There are a lot of secret guards, even those who are having sex with women are all around, so it’s hard to take action." Yan Junwei was a little embarrassed.

　　"Shen Zhongliang is trying to win over officials. This court is no longer my court. Shen Huiru's eyes are all over the palace, and this palace is not my palace. If you kill the Shen family father and daughter, the former court and the harem will lose control, and I will have to spend money in the future. Instead of vigorously rectifying it, I would go back quietly and slowly clean up these monsters and monsters. They use substitutes to replace me, and I can also treat them in the same way as others, leaving them vulnerable to enemies from both sides and unable to defend themselves." Emperor Wu of Zhou was supported by Yan Junwei. He stepped out of the bathtub, wiped the water droplets on his body with a cloth, and then changed into obscene clothes and pants with the help of two secret guards.

　　"The emperor still needs to wait for a while, and wait for his subordinates to make arrangements." Yan Junwei replied after thinking for a while.

　　"I will show you a clear path. Shen Huiru often said in the past that she hopes I can take her back to visit relatives. It will be Zhao Laofengjun's eightieth birthday soon. You send someone to persuade Concubine Chen's mother to ask her to pray for Concubine Chen. The concubine goes back to celebrate her birthday and sends someone to Shen Huiru to beat the drum, and she will be moved. As long as she brings the substitute back to the Shen family to visit the relatives, we can take action." Emperor Wu of Zhou closed his eyes slightly and allowed the secret guard to take his After drying her hair, I kept recalling Sang Yu's bright and moving smile, and then I felt that my depressed mood was a little better. Although he was back in the physical body, without Sang Yu around, he was not as ecstatic as he imagined.

　　"You want you to take her back in person to visit her relatives? She is hinting that you can make her a queen." Yan Junwei raised his eyebrows. Shen Huiru said it so clearly, but the emperor placed her in the position of a first-class concubine for three years. No wonder she would betray the emperor.

　　"I never thought much about it before, I just thought she missed her family." Emperor Zhou Wu laughed at himself, waved his hand, and didn't want to talk more.

　　Yan Junwei understood, pondered for a moment and then said, "This is also a way. I will go down and arrange it later."

　　"Hurry up, Sang Yu is still waiting for me in the palace." Emperor Wu of Zhou urged, and finally said cautiously, "Send someone to inform the queen, I need her help. Also, I keep your antidote in the imperial study. Behind the plaque, there is an ebony box, you can go get it yourself."

　　"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Yan Junwei opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

　　"You are still the commander of the secret guards, but I want to transfer some of the secret guards to the public. They will have the same responsibilities as the secret guards. They are called Jinyi Guards. They belong directly to me and are only responsible for me. They have jurisdiction over six departments, among which Although the commander is only a third-grade military officer, he has great power and can handle affairs beyond his level. This is just to scare some restless officials and let them know that I am watching them. In the past, you were all hiding in the dark, and they could not see the essence. The threat of sex makes you more and more courageous!" Emperor Wu of Zhou snorted coldly, and his expression softened when he looked at Yan Junwei, "You grew up with me, and no one knows your abilities better than me. Yes. But you are unable to display your talents, and you have to pretend to be a dandy. You are squeezed out and suppressed by your concubine, and you lose the title that should belong to you. I feel wronged to you! I couldn't stand up for you in the past. In the future, you will be the commander of the royal guards, so you can do it yourself. Come forward."

　　"The emperor is not afraid that his subordinates will betray the emperor after getting the antidote?" Yan Junwei asked hoarsely, with a rare expression of emotion on his face full of anger.

　　"I will not doubt everyone because of Shen Zhongliang's betrayal. I will judge with my heart who can be used and who cannot be used. I don't care about people whose hearts are controlled by poison. Furthermore, how many times have I been with you from birth to death since childhood? You You have never betrayed me, I believe in you!" Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his head and smiled, his expression was unrestrained and open-minded.

　　Yan Junwei also smiled slowly, knelt down on one knee, and said in a very cautious tone, "I am willing to serve the emperor as hard as I can."

　　"Good! What a good minister!" This obedient person who claimed to be inferior to his subordinates, Emperor Wu of Zhou slapped the table and laughed loudly.

　　Hearing the spirited laughter inside, the several miracle doctors who hurried over were relieved.

　　***

　　Thousand Buddha Mountain, Pudu Temple

　　The Queen Mother, who is in her sixties and has gray hair on her temples, is wearing a coarse monk's robe and is sitting on her knees in the Buddhist hall chanting sutras. Her eldest maid, Nianci, was kneeling behind her, holding a scripture in her hand and copying it carefully.

　　Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings outside the Buddhist hall, and a pigeon with gold wire feet landed on the window edge of the Buddhist hall. Nianci put down the brush, walked to the window, picked up the pigeon, and untied the note tied to its feet. Seeing the dragon pattern on it, her eyes flashed slightly, and she calmed down before walking to the Queen Mother and asking softly, "The Queen Mother, this is a letter sent by someone from the Emperor. Do you want to read it?"

　　"If you don't want to look at it, take it away." The Queen Mother waved her hands in refusal without even opening her eyes, her indifferent attitude as usual.

　　A flash of light quickly flashed across Nianci's eyes, and after agreeing, he took the note outside and burned it. Tenglong pattern, this letter is not from the emperor, it is clearly a secret letter from the secret guard. But Nian Ci has chosen another Ming master, so he will not let these secret messages appear in front of the Queen Mother.

　　Just after burning the letter, Master Xuankong, the host of Pudu Temple, arrived, and Nianci quickly saluted.

　　"No need to be polite, does Wangchen have time now? A poor nun came to discuss Zen principles with her." Master Xuankong asked warmly.

　　"Master presiding, please come in." The Queen Mother in the Buddhist hall raised her voice to invite. Master Xuankong nodded to Nianci and pushed the door open.

　　The Queen Mother was most afraid of being disturbed when she was discussing Zen principles with the Master. Nian Ci returned to her private room very knowingly. After closing the door, her calm and indifferent face turned into a gloomy one. She was detained in this temple at a young age and always accompanied by green lanterns. The glory and wealth that were within her reach were all taken away from her. How could she not feel resentful in her heart?

　　"Which chapters are master going to discuss with Wangchen today?" The Queen Mother took out a Tripitaka.

　　"Amitabha, this poor nun has lied, and I ask for your forgiveness." Master Xuankong apologized, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the Queen Mother, "This is an autographed letter from the Holy One. It is of great importance. Please forget the dust no matter what." Everyone should take a look."

　　Because it was the first time that the presiding master requested her, even if she didn't want to, the Queen Mother still took it after staring at the envelope for a long time. After opening it, she read ten lines at a glance, "What a Shen family, what a Nian Ci, and dozens of secret letters without any traces." A letter has arrived in the hands of the Ai family. Could it be that the Ai family has not interfered in the secular affairs for a long time, and the Ai family is old and weak?" Her calm and old face was stained with a stern look.

　　"Amitabha, it's hard to forget the dust after all, but the resentment in my heart has been forgotten. It's time to go back." Master Xuankong clasped his hands together and smiled slightly.

　　"Thanks to Master's enlightenment over the years, this secular matter has been settled. Wangchen will definitely come back." The Queen Mother stood up and saluted.

　　"You don't have to be polite, you won't come back, but it's up to you." Xuan Kong recited a Buddhist sentence and slowly walked away.

　　"Come here, prepare your carriage and horses, the Ai family will return to the palace immediately!" The Queen Mother took off her monk's hat and ordered loudly. The guards waiting nearby agreed in unison, and Nian Ci immediately ran out of the room in shock.

　　"Why did the Queen Mother rush back to the palace? But something happened in the palace?" Nianci looked pale.

　　"When I was discussing Zen philosophy just now, Aijia suddenly felt heartbroken. It must have happened to the emperor. Something big happened to the emperor. Aijia had the same premonition when the late emperor was buried. How can we feel at ease if we don't go back to the capital to see?" The Queen Mother hurried back to her room, a look on her face. The worry is genuine.

　　Nian Ci couldn't see the clues, so he pondered for a moment and thought to himself, could it be that the unconscious emperor really died? I couldn't help but feel excited. That's fine, Qianfo Mountain is heavily guarded, and all affairs around the Queen Mother are handled by Grandma Jin. She is only responsible for accompanying the Queen Mother in chanting sutras, and she really has no chance to do anything. It's better now. When the Queen Mother returns to the palace, Concubine Liang wants to secretly Isn’t it easy to get rid of the Queen Mother?
