Need for a Guard

Shi Yue and Jiao Niang were about to part, and neither of them was in the mood to get up.

Jiao Niang looked at Shi Yue resentfully, and said angrily: "I will make you sleepless because of thinking about me every night."

Shi Yue didn't understand the meaning of Jiao Niang's words, and was about to ask a question, but saw Jiao Niang smiled mysteriously, and shrank her head into the bed, buried in Shi Yue's high tent, moving .

Afterwards, Shi Yue went to the sky, he knew that he would really have trouble sleeping all night, sleeping and eating in the future.

At night, Jiao Niang had already washed and dressed, and sat on the bedside lonely, ignoring Shi Yue.

She is not a pampered woman. Since fate has given her many tests, she can accept them with pleasure, not to mention that there is a better future waiting for her.

After a while, there was a soft knock on the door.

Shi Yue quickly opened the door, but saw Xiao Guizi standing in front of the door respectfully, Shi Yue smiled, knowing in his heart that the person who escorted Jiaoniang to Lin'an was this white and tender little Guizi.

Shi Yue had seen Xiao Guizi's tricks before, so he felt relieved to be escorted by him.

Xiao Guizi took out a set of eunuch uniforms and asked Jiaoniang to change into them. Jiaoniang glanced at Shi Yue resentfully, then twisted her waist and walked into the inner hall.

Shi Yue patted Xiao Guizi's shoulder with a smile, and said: "Little brother, my wife's safety is in your hands, you must send her to Lin'an safely, and arrange her life well." , Jiedu!"

Xiao Guizi nodded again and again: "Please don't worry, there will be someone answering you over there, and I guarantee that there will be no mistakes."

Shi Yue reassured, and instructed: "Jiaoniang also has a maid named Xi'er, who is like a sister to Jiaoniang, you also have to take her with you this time, so as not to make Jiaoniang feel lonely."

Then he told me the address in detail, and Xiao Guizi memorized each one in his heart.

While talking, I saw Jiao Niang changed into a eunuch costume and came out with a face of reluctance.

I don't know if this eunuch's costume is considered worthy, Shi Yue looked at it under the light, and couldn't help but see several different delicate and charming auras.

Jiao Niang moved in front of Shi Yue, straightened his clothes for him, neither crying nor fussing, with a hint of resentment in her calmness: "I'm gone, will you miss me?"

Shi Yue took a sip of her without avoiding suspicion, and said emotionally: "I only hope that my heart is like mine, and I will definitely live up to my love!"

Jiaoniang's tears fell, she didn't dare to listen anymore, she twisted her waist and followed Xiao Guizi, hurried to the door, stopped, choked up and said, "Remember what you said!"

Twisting her waist, she disappeared from Shi Yue's sight with the sadness of parting.

"Jiaoniang!" Shi Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, frowned, waved his big hand in the air, and blushed all over his face: "Damn Nan Batian, damn black-clothed guard..."

In the middle of the night, the candlelight is dim!

Shi Yue, the little emperor, and Eunuch Sun, three long and narrow shadows against the wall, like illusory ghosts.

Shi Yue smiled lightly at first, in front of Eunuch Sun, he wanted to save face for the little emperor, and he couldn't move his hands and feet all the time, he coughed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you about your situation Come on! I can also prescribe the right medicine."

This "Emperor" was called very reluctantly, no matter how it sounded, it gave people goosebumps.

The little emperor coughed softly, and said in an embarrassing way: "Big brother, Eunuch Sun is not an outsider. I have been with me since I was very young, so you don't have to be so polite to me! In front of you, I don't call myself Zhen, and neither do you." Call me the emperor, so that you can get familiar with me! My name is Yanjing, and you can call me by my first name in private."

Shi Yue smiled, as a tacit consent, and called softly: "Little Jingjing..."

The little emperor couldn't help being terrified and shivering all over.

Eunuch Sun frowned, thinking to himself that this guy is really a freak, with profound martial arts that make people look up to him, and he is also so courageous that he is unrivaled in the world and speaks out loud.

With clear eyes and a natural expression, why doesn't he have the majesty of worshiping imperial power at all?

The little emperor paced back and forth, and a childish voice came out: "I lost my father when I was young, and I became the throne at the age of eight. The four ministers carefully discussed and changed the name of the country to Jinghui! Hmph... Big brother, do you know what Jinghui means?" ?"

Shi Yue didn't understand why, he shook his head

When he said this, he suddenly roared with all his strength, kicked the wooden stool under his feet, waved his arms and said angrily: "That's because my father's country name is Jingdi, and these old guys named me Jinghui , literally means to be blessed by the father. But the real thought in their bones is that I am just a cowardly emperor who sits back and enjoys the rest of the world."

Shi Yue sat quietly on the wooden bench, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He smiled and said, "Little Jingjing, why are you excited? If you don't calm down, it will hurt your ass!"

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing suddenly, took a deep breath, and said as usual: "Only the eldest brother has studied this kind of knowledge so profoundly."

Shi Yue pondered the meaning revealed in the little emperor's words, and tried to reason: "The situation has developed to the present, is it true that only one or two of the four ministers are left? Commander Kang must be one of them." ?”

"How did you guess it?" Eunuch Sun had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.

Shi Yue laughed and said: "If the four Gu Ming ministers are still alive, how can one family be allowed to rule over each other?"

"Also, according to my guess, these four Gu Ming ministers must be fighting openly and secretly. Although some of them are aging, they must also be suspected of being framed. The rest of the old guys, of course, look at the court and have no opponents. .”

The little emperor laughed loudly and said, "Big brother, you are really a god!"

"These four life-saving ministers fought for each other and didn't pay attention to me at all. This secret battle finally ended three years ago. Among the four, only Commander Kang is left!"

"It is also because of this that my situation has become more dangerous. Around me, from eunuchs, maids, and Ouchi guards, there are all hidden stakes of Kang Shanzhen. It passed into his ears exactly!"

"Hmph... If I hadn't pretended to be a coquettish and unrestrained temperament, I'm afraid Kang Shanzhen would have deposed me a long time ago, and then set up a new emperor puppet to be at his mercy."

When Shi Yue heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart!

This poor little emperor, who ascended the throne at the age of eight, is now 16 years old. Although he is well-clothed and well-fed, he has lived like a prison for eight years.

He patted the little emperor's shoulder lightly, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, now bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and there will be a day when you will show your ambitions."

The little emperor nodded, and continued: "Kang Shanzhen has controlled the government for these years, held military power, eradicated dissidents, and firmly controlled the black guards. The generals of the three major military camps in the capital are all from his direct descendants."

"All civil and military men in the dynasty were afraid of Kang Shanzhen's power. Few people dared to withstand his storms with a fistful heart. Only a few treacherous prime ministers and literati dared to confront him face to face and contradict him. But it’s not really about revitalizing Chao Gang, it’s just for personal gain!”

"Hey...Looking around, how many people in Nuo Da's court think of me as the emperor?" At this point, the little emperor had tears in his eyes, but he held back his tears and slapped his eyes again. After a few turns, I held back again.
