[BOOK 1] Qt : Tyrant Meets Paranoid

chapter 62 ↬ regent x dark guard

 As the sky gradually darkened, the city was still brightly lit and lively.

The city is full of flowers, no one knows about the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, the border guards are struggling, and no one cares about open and secret struggles in the court. No matter how turbulent the undercurrent is, it has nothing to do with the people, and their concern is nothing more than daily chores.

The new emperor, Wen Renda, has just succeeded to the throne and amnesty the world. There is a peaceful scene inside and outside the court.

It is less than half a month since the third prince colluded with foreign enemies to ransack the house, but it seems to have been forgotten by others. The rumors are more just talk for the world.

The third prince died of illness in prison, and did not catch up with the good time for the world's amnesty. The new emperor was deeply saddened when he learned about it.

Although the crimes of the third prince were heinous, the new emperor still pardoned the family of the third prince considering the brotherhood of the two. Even though they had been demoted to common people and could never return to the capital, they were rewarded with a lot of money, enough to make them rich for a lifetime, and all the officials couldn't help but praise Wen Renda as a benevolent king.

Last autumn, the second prince fell off his horse and died, so now the new emperor has only two younger brothers, the fourth prince Wen Renhui and the fifth prince Wen Renhong.

But everyone knows that the Fifth Prince Wen Renhong is an idle prince. His biological mother was just a palace servant with a humble status, and even died of dystocia when giving birth to him, so Wen Renhong was regarded as ominous by the late emperor since his birth.

Wen Renhong was not well received in the palace on weekdays, even though he was treated a lot better because of praying for the late emperor, he was still not as good as other princes. It was only after the new emperor ascended the throne that he was bestowed with the title of prince, allowing him to have his own mansion.

It's just that after Wen Renhong left the palace and got his own mansion, his life became more and more reckless. Spending time and drinking every day, not doing business.

Not to mention not doing any real work for the people, but still nostalgic for Liuxiang, Huajie, and became a frequent visitor of Feixinglou, the number one flowerhouse in Beijing. He even became the guest of honor of Fairy Lin Hua, the leading card there, which attracted the envy of many people.

Even though the fifth prince looks mighty and extraordinary, when they think of the dross inside, the common people would just laugh it off when they talk about this ignorant and incompetent prince.

When it got darker again, I saw the prince swaggering into Huajie with a few attendants, and headed straight for Feixing Tower.

Inside the exquisitely decorated pavilion, silk and bamboo wind music, lingering lingering sounds. It is not as vulgar as ordinary flower houses, but it is more elegant. It's no wonder that in the past, only the rich and powerful were eligible to enter this building. It is rare for ordinary people to catch a glimpse of the beauties in the Flying Star Building.

As soon as Wen Renhong showed up, he was respectfully welcomed in by the servants in Feixing Building. The servant led the way, nodded and bowed, and led him to the exclusive private room for distinguished guests. Still flattering to say, Lin Hua is in the room now.

Wen Renhong's face was naturally full of joy, and he seemed impatient. But when he really entered the room, the door closed, but the man immediately changed his face.

He put away the usual smile on his face, and walked behind the screen expressionlessly.

A beautiful woman with bright complexion and snowy skin was lying wantonly on the couch. He had a distinct red mole on his forehead, which was as red as blood.

The beauty was playing with a wine glass in her hand, and there was a few wisps of smoke from the incense burner in front of her, which made Wen Renhong frown involuntarily. He waved his hand in front of him, as if he wanted to disperse the smoke.

The beauty on the opposite side realized that it was Wen Renhong who came, so she restrained her indifference. He hurriedly stood up and poured out the incense burner, then ran to the side and opened the window of the room to let out the air, then turned around and apologized to Wen Renhong: "Master, why are you here? I didn't know you were coming before lighting It 's fragrant."

Unexpectedly, the other party's mouth turned out to be an extremely rough male voice, and the beauty saluted Wen Renhong with fists.

"It's okay, you light the incense because Ye Ran likes it, you miss her." Wen Renhong said unintentionally, but attracted the opposite person to wrap up the tulle skirt on his body, and the tangle flashed across his face.

Seeing this, Wen Renhong sat down in front of the tea table, picked up another wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, glanced at the other party casually, and said, "Still not used to this dress?"

Lin Hua hesitated for a moment but nodded, stretched out her hand and wiped her forehead. She didn't expect that the blood-red mole would be wiped away just like that. It turned out that the mole was only touched.

The man said to Wen Renhong with a bitter face: "Master, I was in charge of practicing those hidden stakes. Why did you suddenly let me come to Feixing Building? Look at me, I am not a woman and I am not a brother. Let me paint my eyebrows and eyes here, and I feel sick to myself."

Wen Renhong listened to Lin Hua's complaints and didn't take it seriously. He replied: "Ye Ran told me that your temper is too violent. Although your subordinates have been trained well, you have to practice with them every now and then. If you train well, it's not as good as if you hurt more. Treat those who are injured by you every month. It's an expense."

"Don't forget that the money in this account is all managed by Ye Ran, she was the one who suggested that I let you stay in Feixing Building, so as to restrain your temper." "It's

Ranran Let?" Hearing this, Lin Hua's whole face was tangled up. Although she said that she had caused trouble and wasted a lot of money recently, her daughter-in-law didn't have to deal with herself like this! Wen Renhong took a sip of the wine, and seemed to feel that it tasted good

. , squinted his eyes and continued: "Lin Hua, you can't only be tough but also good at disguising. You have to work hard to be like your name. Hua, Jing is good. Your master specially named you, don't waste it. "

As soon as Lin Hua heard Renhong mentioning his name, he felt like he was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, but he dared not speak out when facing his master.

At that time, his master first adopted him, and later adopted Ye Ran. The master looked at him at a young age with beautiful features and a pretty face, so he gave him such a name, but he is obviously a man with a bad temper.

From childhood to adulthood, many people ridiculed his name, which always made Lin Hua so angry. If it was someone else, he would have rushed forward to fight him, but he didn't dare to face the person in front of him. Or even if he dares, he is not Wen Renhong's opponent.

Ignoring Lin Hua who became a puffer fish because of his words, Wen Renhong directly opened the hidden compartment in the room, and took out the latest news from all parties today.

No one would have guessed that the Yin Pavilion, famous in the rivers and lakes, would be the largest flower building in the capital, the Feixing Building, the most important news transmission hub.

The Yin Pavilion has stood in the rivers and lakes for many years. Although it is rarely mentioned, it is actually known to everyone. The status of Yinge Jianghu is no less than that of any famous sect. Although the Chiyue Kingdom is said to be relatively peaceful now, outside the court, the rivers and lakes are another world.

Yin Pavilion claims to know the affairs of the world, sells news and does some assassination business. Not only do they control the unknown secrets within the Jianghu gang, but even the unknown secrets of the confidential officials in the imperial court are also spied on by them. So no one dared to easily offend Yin Pavilion, let alone being targeted by Yin Pavilion.

"Wen Renhui has been very restless recently." Wen Renhong stretched out two fingers and tapped on the table.

Lin Hua became serious when she heard the words, and began to report to the man in detail about the news from the hidden stake in the palace.

When these two people were talking about business, Mu Jin stayed on the beam of the house, listening to their conversation calmly. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, but paid attention to the surrounding noises at all times.

Speaking of which, it has been more than half a month since Mu Jin came to this world, and although she sees her lover every day, she has never recognized her. In this life, the identity of his lover is that he is currently guarding the master, and people are known as the good-for-nothing prince Wen Renhong.

But Mu Jin is very clear that the so-called name of waste wood is only temporary. Not long after, the emperor Wen Renda will die unexpectedly shortly after succeeding to the throne, and the fourth prince Wen Renhui will also be found to have secretly communicated with the queen to murder the new emperor and be executed together.

When the crown prince Wenrenling succeeds to the throne, he is still young and naturally needs the emperor's uncle to supervise the administration. Wen Renhong will suddenly become the most powerful man in the entire Chiyue Kingdom.

No one inside or outside the court would dare to say no to him, and those who used to look down on others would not dare to treat him lightly.

Touching his own hungry and deflated stomach, Mu Jin felt that it was really not easy to chase an old Gong these days. When she first traveled to this world, Mu Jin was still very surprised by the setting of this world.

Looking at the antique architectural style around, I thought this was an ordinary ancient plane, but I didn't expect that after accepting all the plots, I realized that the gender in this world is also different from what I used to know.

Although it is not as complicated as the previous world, there are still three genders in general, men, women and brothers.

Men are commonly called men here, and brothers have the same reproductive function as women. It's just that the fertility rate of brothers is much lower than that of women, and their physical strength is not as good as that of men, so their status is not high.

On the surface, the most obvious difference between a brother and a man is that there will be a red mole on the brother's body. The degree of brightness of the red mole can also reflect to a certain extent whether the other person is healthy or not.

The protagonist of this world is a brother named Tang Huaqing. Tang Huaqing is not from the capital city, but his family can be regarded as a scholarly family in the local area. Tang Huaqing has received a good education since he was a child, and believes that a brother does not necessarily have to marry a husband and raise a child.

He has read a lot of books since he was a child. Although he dare not say that he is a great talent, he can be regarded as a reasonable person, and he also has a dream of serving the country.

Just because of his gender, his wish could not be fulfilled. So when he became an adult and heard that his family was going to marry him, Tang Huaqing concealed it from his family, took some money, covered the mole on his forehead with grease, and went to Beijing to rush for the exam. I want to pass the scientific examination to become an official and realize my dream.

Along the way, he made many friends, and he also realized how small his vision was when he was at home. When he arrived in the capital, he made friends with Tang Ling, a boy from the capital.

The two chatted very happily. Tang Ling was very optimistic about his talent, so they met often and chatted. When it comes to the idea of ​​​​governing the country, I still have a sense of sympathy for each other, so I simply became close friends.

Later, by accident, Tang Ling discovered that Tang Huaqing was actually a brother, but he didn't say anything, and even expressed his willingness to help him hide it. And I hope he can work hard during the scientific examination, don't waste his talents, and get good grades.

Tang Qinghua was very grateful for this, and he lived up to the expectations of others, and he really won the top prize in the Jin Ke.

On the Golden Luan Hall, he saw Tang Ling again. Only then did he discover that Tang Ling was Wen Renling, the emperor of Chiyue Kingdom.

Tang Qinghua was a little annoyed at Wen Renling's deceit at first, but afterward Wen Renling also explained his difficulties to him, and supported his idea that his brother could also become an official.

When Tang Qinghua heard Wen Renling tell about his life experience, he realized that it was not easy for him. The first emperor left early, and the regent took control of the government. Wenren Ling Mingming has reached the age of being in charge, but the regent still refuses to let go of power.

So even though Wen Renling is the emperor, he has no power or power, so he can only let the regent manipulate him, but there is nothing he can do about the resentment in his heart. He needs his own power, and Tang Huaqing is resourceful and can be his right-hand man.

Tang Huaqing also felt that it was a mistake for the regent to control the government, so he agreed to join Wen Renling's camp. He used his own wisdom to help Wen Renling keep attracting talents, and participated in this power struggle.

In the end, the two of them worked together to eradicate Prince Regent Wen Renhong's power bit by bit, and found evidence of his usurping the throne, and planned to kill him.

Tang Huaqing's brother's identity was also discovered at the last moment, causing an uproar among the civil and military courts, but everyone was also impressed by his talent.

Wen Renling and Tang Qinghua were gradually attracted to each other as they got along day and night. After the dust settled, Wen Renling married Tang Huaqing and made him the Queen of the Red Moon King.

The two supported each other and jointly governed Chiyue for decades, making the country prosperous and prosperous. The two love each other for a lifetime, and it has also become a good story.

Seeing this, Mu Jin sighed in his heart. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the protagonist, and there was nothing wrong with the protagonist Gong. The only problem is that the final boss, Wen Renhong, is domineering and dominates the government.

But this is my own man, and I have to bear with him if I have problems. Besides, since I have come anyway, I will always find a way to give Wen Renhong a happy ending.

Anyway, in so many worlds, my lover has always been a villain, and Mu Jin is no stranger to it. He was even relieved to think that at least Wen Renhong was both civil and military, and it also deterred foreigners from coveting the world of Chiyue for many years.

Wen Renhong suffered a lot when he was a child, and Mu Jin couldn't help but think of Zeng Mozhen. It's just that at that time, there was Concubine Ling beside Mo Zhen, and the palace people didn't dare to disrespect Mo Zhen on the surface.

But Wen Renhong was different, his biological mother was a palace maid who died of dystocia after giving birth to him, and the emperor didn't want to see him. It is naturally difficult for a small child to survive in the palace, even the palace people can bully him at will, and other princes often treat him as a teasing object.

This also caused Wen Renhong to be able to observe words and expressions at an early age, and to be good at forbearance and disguising his character.

On the day when Wen Renhong was nine years old, the late emperor fell seriously ill. Wen Renhong asked himself to go to Guanghan Temple in the mountains to pray for the emperor for a year, praying for the emperor's safety and health.

Guanghan Temple is located in a remote place, but it is full of incense. It is rumored that the Buddha in that temple is very effective. Wen Renhong was only nine years old, but he actually lived there for a whole year as he said. Eat fast and chant Buddha every day, and pray devoutly.

Not to mention, the late emperor recovered from his illness. The first emperor was greatly moved by this, and felt that although this son was ominous, he was pure and filial, and now Wen Renhong's life will be easier.

Knowing all the plots, Mu Jin certainly knows that her lover has another identity, that is, the owner of the hidden pavilion, but it is a surprise that the hidden pavilion will be handed over to Wen Renhong.

It was when he was praying for blessings and practicing in Guanghan Temple that Wen Renhong had the chance to accidentally save the injured old master of the Yin Pavilion.

Yin Pavilion once encountered a crisis, the old pavilion owner was injured, fled to the vicinity of Guanghan Temple, and fell into a coma. Fortunately, Wen Renhong discovered it in time.

Originally, Wen Renhong didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, seeing that the other party was seriously injured, he only thought that the man was going to die. He had seen a lot of life and death in the palace, so he just searched the other party's belongings calmly, wanting to see if there was anything he could use for himself.

It's just that when he searched the old pavilion master, he found a book of martial arts mentality, thinking that if he was kind to the other party, maybe he could really get some benefits. So Wen Renhong decided to take a gamble and save the opponent.

Unexpectedly, he was really right. The old pavilion master only thought that Wen Hong was a kind-hearted man, and he felt sorry for knowing his status as a prince and suffering in the palace. When he found out that the child had strange bones and aptitude for a master, he agreed to accept him as his apprentice.

Wen Renhong is willing to endure hardships and is good at being a man, so he is naturally loved by the old pavilion master, and he gives him all the conveniences. After the crisis of the Yin Pavilion was resolved, for Wen Renhong's sake, the old pavilion owner planted many hidden stakes in the palace, and finally handed over the entire Yin Pavilion to him before his death.

Both Lin Hua and Ye Ran were adopted by the old Pavilion Master's subordinates, and they were very trustworthy. They were assigned to Wen Renhong a long time ago, and now they seem to have become his right-hand men.

As for Mu Jin's identity in this small world, he has no background. The original owner is Wen Renhong Anwei. He didn't have a name at first, but after he came out of the Life and Death Camp, he was called Shadow Eleven.

The reason why it is called Shadow Eleven is because Wen Renhong used to have ten shadow guards before, but they all lost their lives because of various tasks. After Yingshi died, the original owner was sent to Wen Renhong's side.

Wen Renhong didn't like to follow too many people, so he only left one close bodyguard, and the others waited at a distance, and couldn't come to the master, and the close bodyguard didn't even have a name.

The original owner also died later to protect Wen Renhong, and the life and death camp came out to guard secretly, and his loyalty was engraved in his bones. They are no longer like people, but more like tools. Therefore, Ying Eleven's only wish for staying is to protect the good man Hong, and not let his master be in danger.

After Mu Jin knew the original owner's wish, he didn't think it was difficult to realize it, but felt a little sad for no reason. However, he also understands that Wen Renhong is not the only one who has shadow guards. All members of the royal family, and even important ministers have shadow guards dead servants in their homes.

This is the problem of this world, which has created these people who have no emotions but only loyal tools.

Now the emperor Wen Renda is not as friendly as he seems, not only is he not benevolent, the accidents of the second prince and the third prince are also inseparable from him. Of course, his lover is also indispensable here.

Wen Renhong hated these so-called brothers because of his childhood shadow, and he has been watching their dog-eat-dog show all the time. After all, who would have thought that a dandy would be the manipulator of everything.

But even so, after the death of the third prince, Wen Renda was still worried about the fourth prince Wen Renhui and Wen Renhong. There is the Prime Minister's Mansion behind Wen Renhui, and it is not easy to move it for the time being. Wen Renhong has no power and power, but he is also considered to be of royal blood.

Recently, there have always been killers who wanted Wen Renhong's life again and again, or sneaked into the palace to find or fabricate some criminal evidence. However, all these tricks were saved by Wen Renhong, but they also attracted Wen Renda's attention.

It's still early in Mu Jin's time travel, Wen Renhong has not yet monopolized the power to become the regent of the ruling and opposition parties, and the protagonist Tang Huaqing and the future emperor Wen Renling are just infants.

Mu Jin knew that men in this life were scheming and good at making money, not as simple and straightforward as Chester in his previous life, so he didn't show up on purpose even though he had been in this world for a long time. Because he felt that his lover in this life would never be as easy to approach as before.

Judging from Wen Renhong's personality, he must let the man think that he has the initiative, so that he can walk into the other's heart step by step.

Just as Mu Jin was thinking, he saw that the two people in the room had already finished their discussion. Lin Hua respectfully sent Wen Renhong to the door, but after Wen Renhong left the room with no expression on his face, he returned to his original dandy appearance. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he took his guards and left here with a satisfied face.

It's just that they didn't expect that they would meet the fourth prince Wen Renhui on the way back. Thinking back, Wen Renhui was also very popular before the new emperor succeeded to the throne, but he did not expect that the first emperor finally chose to let Wen Renda inherit the throne.

Wen Renhui had always been the late emperor's most beloved son, and his biological mother had a noble status, and later married the daughter of the prime minister's family, and she also had a certain influence in the court. He thought that the supreme position belonged to him, but he didn't expect that he still lost to his elder brother.

Because of this, he was very unconvinced, and even if he failed to win the throne, he didn't know how to restrain his arrogance. In the past, he was the one who bullied Wen Renhong the most, and naturally he would be ridiculed by the other party when they met each other.

I saw the fourth prince walking straight in the middle of the road, without any intention of avoiding Wen Renhong. Wen Renhong didn't mind either. He walked over with a smile, saluted the other party, and said with a light smile, "Brother Si Huang also came to see the night scene?" Unexpectedly, the other party shook his sleeves twice when he heard the words

, as if he saw something dirty. Dongshi replied casually: "At first I wanted to go out for a walk and see the night view of the capital. But I didn't expect that I ran into dirty things on the way, which were vulgar and vulgar and wandered around. It just made people lose interest." Wen

Renhui Seeing that the smile on the other party's face did not change, he sneered and left.

Wen Renhong's expression didn't change along the way, and he didn't take out the letter with the word '惊' on the envelope in his arms until he returned to the mansion. He put it on the table and tapped it twice, and said coldly: "Ying Shixi, send this letter back to the palace, so that the queen mother can appreciate the calligraphy of the empress of the dynasty."
