If you don't count, you will die

Chapter 57

All the things were intertwined and became a mess, silently went back to the Hall of Observation, and stood by the astrologer in a daze.

Day two.

Chen Hengzhi was impeached on the spot by the two vice-masters of the Bo Palace, and the impeachment memorial was jointly written by the two vice-masters and presented to the emperor in person.

Mo Mo also came to the court today, the original intention was that the mind was too chaotic these days, so he followed Lin Mu to the court to find something to do, but he stood far away and only watched from a corner.

At this time, the court hall was in chaos, and the two elderly deputy hall masters were pointing at Chen Hengzhi and beating and scolding them.

"Chen Hengzhi! When you were young, you disregarded the king's law and bought and sold official positions in the Bodian many times, causing the Bodian to be filled with smog. The truly talented and learned people were rejected, and some people were recruited instead! You just treat yourself like this." Is it the Lord of the Temple?"

"You are ashamed of the emperor's expectations of you!"

Dijun took the memorial and flipped through it lightly, as if he didn't care about the noise in the hall.

Shen Mo stood at the back of the crowd on the right side of the emperor, unobtrusive. He looked at Chen Hengzhi. Chen Hengzhi was not panicked, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he seemed to be confident.

It wasn't until the two deputy palace masters knelt down and begged the emperor to punish Chen Hengzhi that Chen Hengzhi slowly walked out of the crowd, threw off his official robe, knelt down not far from the two of them, and said to the emperor: " Please learn from the emperor, this is the slander of two people, the official is not guilty."

The emperor finally put down the memorial in his hand, and looked up at Chen Hengzhi, "Tell me what you know, and I will believe it if you tell me."

As soon as the emperor said this, the two deputy palace masters looked at the emperor in disbelief, but Chen Heng's face immediately concealed his joy, and he simply stood up and said: "Return to the emperor, since I took office, I have been Conscientious and dedicated, there has never been any dereliction of duty. Every day, in the Bo Hall, the officials are the first to come and the last to leave. Let alone the two Vice-Hall Masters who arrive every night, Let’s just talk about the official position of the Bodian Temple…”

"I don't dare to be an official. Since I took office, I have found that the management in the Bo Palace is lax and the officials are lazy. I usually can't finish the tasks in two or three days. I am procrastinating and lazy. So I went down The official began to revise some rules of the Bo Hall, which resulted in the two vice-masters having to come to the Bo Hall on time every day to take up their duties, and they could no longer rush home just after noon as before. It's just that I started to have some complaints about the subordinates...so..."

Speaking of which, Chen Hengzhi sighed softly, and looked at the two deputy hall masters who were red-faced at this time, with an ashamed expression, "I can't imagine that the two deputy hall masters have such prejudice against the subordinate... As for the two What the Hall Master said about keeping talented people out...does he refer to the grandsons of the two Vice Hall Masters? As far as I know, the grandsons of the two Vice Hall Masters are now over twenty years old. I have been failing the imperial examinations for years, and I can't pass a township examination every time..."

After Chen Heng's words fell, the low-pitched conversation in the court hall continued, and the grandsons of the two vice-masters of the Bo Palace still heard about it. Obviously the two vice-masters were knowledgeable people, who knew the relationship between the two The grandson didn't know what evil he had committed, and he couldn't even pass the simplest rural examination every year.But the deputy hall master has the right to recommend people who he thinks are talented, so it's not...too much.

After all, the court is big, such things will not be rare.

One of the two deputy hall masters was very angry, pointing at Chen Hengzhi on the spot and yelling: "No matter how bad my grandson is, he is better than the few people you recommended, all of them are full of fat and have no ink, you If you are sophistry, you just need to call a few people up and test the school in public!"

Chen Hengzhi didn't have enough rank, so he was a little flustered. His eyes glanced at Dijun quietly, but he saw that Dijun was still watching a show, calm and expressionless.

Shen Mo has already quietly walked to Lin Mu's side, originally intending to quietly ask Lin Mu what kind of plan he was planning, but he didn't want Ling Mu to ignore him at all, just like the emperor he knew before Shen Mo, who ignored or even indifferent to Mo Mo .

Finally, the emperor seemed to have seen enough of the show, so he said: "Call those people up."

Chen Hengzhi became more and more confused, and in the end he gave some instructions to the people around him, and called two people to come up, and the two deputy palace masters also called their two grandsons to come up.

As soon as the four came up, the two beside Chen Hengzhi definitely lost out to the grandsons of the two deputy hall masters just because of the comparison in appearance. After all, the bulging abdomen, fat body, swollen face and fingers The big gold ring on his head doesn't look like the dress a scholar should have.

The grandsons of the two deputy hall masters are much more normal. They are dressed in plain robes and look a little more handsome. So far, I have to say that the first impression is still very important, at least the first impression given by the grandsons of the two deputy hall masters It's much better.

When all the people are here, the school examination will begin. There is no need for the emperor to do it himself, and it is enough for the officials present to ask a few questions.

But... the scene after that is really unbelievable.

The grandsons of the two deputy hall masters are indeed mediocre in knowledge, but fortunately they have a solid foundation, but they should lack spirituality, and they can't get in if they take a slanted sword.

As for the two of Chen Hengzhi's subordinates...it was horrible, not only did they give unflattering answers...they even mispronounced the words.

At this point, everyone looked at Chen Hengzhi with a much more subtle gaze. Chen Hengzhi also blushed, with cold sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead. After all, he was young, but he seemed to be forced to calm down now.

Shen Mo shook his head when he saw this, whether Chen Hengzhi's mentality was unstable due to the sudden and huge rise, and now he didn't even have the pleasing temperament he had in the initial palace examination.

After the exam, several people stood with their heads bowed, waiting for the emperor to announce the result.

This result is easy to see, and one can know it without thinking. After all, the grandsons of the two vice-masters of the Bo Palace are more than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom.

But who would have thought that the emperor was silent for a long time, until the officials couldn't help but began to recall how many people the emperor killed after being silent for a long time, the emperor finally spoke, and he said in a cold tone: " From now on, Chen Hengzhi will have full authority over the matter, and there is no need to report it any further."

After the words fell, there was a constant commotion in the court hall, and even the silence couldn't help but look at Lin Mu. Doesn't Lin Mu's words mean that Bodian will be Chen Hengzhi's one-word hall in the future?Bo Dian has great power and great usefulness in Zhan Tian Kingdom, directly controlling the civil officials of various divisions, such a sentence is equivalent to giving Chen Hengzhi the right to control half of the country!

Chen Hengzhi stood there in a daze, for a long time he chuckled, and then the laughter grew louder, his face was distorted with joy mixed with the cold sweat from before.The court was silent for a while, everyone looked at the laughing Chen Hengzhi quietly, and the emperor looked down at him, his expression difficult to discern.

Until Chen Hengzhi stopped laughing enough, and knelt down in front of the emperor, with confidence on his face, without any hesitation, he shouted loudly, "Your official, Chen Hengzhi, will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations! "After the words fell, he looked at the emperor with a look of contempt that could not be concealed. Today's emperor's war, the rumored tyrannical iron government's emperor's war, is nothing more than that.

Silence watched Chen Hengzhi change into a human-like smile, wondering why Lin Mu did this, and at the same time marveling at the power and wealth that can change a person so quickly.

After this matter was over, there was nothing else to do in the court today, and the two deputy hall masters left angrily with their grandchildren.Seeing everyone leaving in succession, Shen Mo couldn't help but sneaked into the back, following Lin Mu closely.

As soon as he followed, Lin Mu found him and said, "Come here."

The two returned to the Hall of Light Embers together, Lin Mu put down his cane, sat on the couch, and rubbed his forehead with his hands, as if he was very tired.Shen Mo stepped forward and sat by the side of the couch, stretched out his hand to lightly buckle the edge of the mask, and then took off Lin Mu's mask, Dijun Zhan who took off the mask seemed to have taken off a layer of cold coat, Lin Mu smiled softly at Shen Mo .

Mo Mo held the mask in his arms and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Lin Mu put down the hand rubbing his forehead, stretched out his hand and pulled off the black veil in front of Shen Mo's eyes, seeing his pair of dark eyes that had recovered to the original, couldn't help lowering his head and kissing his eyelashes, and said: "Your The eyes are back."

Shen Mo lowered his eyes, felt the light touch and departure of Lin Mu's lips, couldn't help but put down the mask in his hand, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Mu's hand, and asked, "Why did you do this? Why did you give Chen Hengzhi such a big hand?" The right? He is young and unstable, and he will definitely not be able to resist such a temptation."

Lin Mu avoided the silent gaze, and said after a long time: "You are about the same age as him, and you also reached the sky in one step, why did you not change, but he did?"

Hearing the words in silence, the lips were tight, and it was impossible to refute.

Lin Mu turned his head and saw that Shen Mo seemed to be in troubled thoughts, so he reached out and pressed the back of Shen Mo's head close to him, and the two foreheads touched lightly. Lin Mu said softly: "I'm here, why do you care about other people? Don't worry, it's just A little Chen Hengzhi, Zhan Tianguo will not do anything because of a Chen Hengzhi. I see that you have been thinking too much recently, but what are you worried about?"

Silence and Lin Mu are very close, and their breaths are intertwined. He hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question that has been circling in his heart: "Lin Mu, do we have a future?"

After the words fell, there was only silence between the two.

The longer the silence, the deeper the silent heart sank, and in the end, a sense of sadness surged out of nowhere.It is not easy for him to survive, is it so difficult to ask for a companion?

In the end, Lin Mu moved his palms down, wrapped his arms around Shen Mo's waist, hugged him into his arms, and whispered in Shen Mo's ear: "Shen Mo, when everything is over, I will abdicate. Let's travel around the world and see everything. Wonders of the world, how about it?"

Mo Mo stretched out his hand to hug Lin Mu back, using a tighter force than Lin Mu, in the end he didn't ask what Lin Mu was waiting for to end, but nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The sun near noon shines in through the intricate patterns of the wooden windows of the Hall of Embers, and the flower-shaped halos that are forced to scatter on the indoor floor are really beautiful.

There was a soft knock at the door of the Hall of Embers, and someone came in with slight footsteps.

The man saw Shen Mo who was lying on Lin Mu's body in a deep sleep, and asked without emotion: "Did you knock him out?"

Lin Mu gently stroked Shen Shen's hair with his palm, and said: "He has been thinking too much recently, so I gave him some tranquilizing medicine to let him sleep for a while."

The man walked from the door to the place illuminated by the halo, and those complicated patterns were reflected on his body. His handsome face was full of murderous aura, and his voice was condensed: "Zhao Huan, you want to abdicate?"

Lin Mu didn't look back at him, his eyes still fell on Shen Mo, and after a long time he said: "This throne should belong to you, shouldn't it? Wen Pu, my... Brother Seventh Emperor."
