The house is plain, the mourning is endless, and the pain in the world is staged again in the most prominent family in Chang'an City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Yuanzhi is sick, this time it is a real disease.

Within a few months, he sent away his wife and eldest son, and his pain can be imagined.

Shaoguang is fleeting, dying old, white-haired people send black-haired people, what could hurt more than here?

This monstrous power, this great fame, is no match for the many misfortunes of the world, twenty years of games, whether you lose or win?

Lu Yuancheng appeared outside the door, he has not left his mourning clothes for the past few days, and he has not to rest for a moment, not only to take care of the grieving elders at home, but also to manage the funeral to entertain guests, and to make arrangements for the upcoming Spring Festival.

The heavy burden of the family and the court was on his shoulders, so that he didn't even have time to grieve and have no chance to cry for his eldest brother......

He walked in, "Father, you should rest early, I will take care of you in front." ”

Lu Yuanzhi coughed incessantly, his breath was heavy, his face was as dry as paper money, but what he had in his hand was still an unfinished official document, and there was a bunch of official documents in the corner of the table, all of which were deducted by him, and his peach-like eyes were full of the sorrow of the outside world.

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi didn't speak, he continued: "News came from the palace in the afternoon...... The eldest sister began to cough up blood after hearing the news of her eldest brother's death...... I've been in a coma for a long time today......"

The fold in Lu Yuanzhi's hand slipped and fell to the ground, he raised his head with great effort, and his mouth opened and closed: "Yuanye, Yuanye......"

Lu Yuancheng hurriedly stepped forward, helped him pick up the fold, and comforted: "Father, don't worry, I have already asked the imperial doctor, the eldest sister will be fine, I also let Yuansi go into the palace, let her accompany the eldest sister." Yuansi didn't drink a drop of water in the past few days, and he was willing to drink a little porridge before entering the palace...... But father, don't worry, everything is fine, father, you have to take care of yourself......"

Lu Yuanzhi looked up at him, he was afraid that he would have to exert himself, so he squatted down and listened to him.

"Yuancheng, you are good...... You're good ......."

Lu Yuanzhi weakly recited this simple sentence, which was a great gift to Lu Yuancheng, and made him more happy than any praise.

When he opened his eyes, he felt a white light flickering in front of him, and a terrifying chill suddenly appeared on his neck, his back was cold, and he turned his eyes to see that he had a dagger on his shoulder, and the one holding the dagger was his father......

"Father, what are you doing here?" Lu Yuancheng's heart was instantly broken.

Lu Yuanzhi held his eyelids with difficulty, looked down at this son, and said, "This is the dagger inserted in your eldest brother's heart...... Look at the "Lu" engraved on the handle of this knife, is it very familiar? I have carefully compared it...... It's not your big brother's handwriting, it's clearly ...... Your handwriting!"

Lu Yuancheng knelt on the ground and tearfully complained: "Father, what does this word represent? If I really want to harm my brother, how can I be so stupid as to engrave my own words on the dagger? This is obviously someone deliberately framing me! Maybe...... Maybe my eldest brother didn't want me to live in peace, and deliberately committed suicide with such a dagger, so that my father would suspect me......"

As soon as he got up in a hurry, he began to speak without words, talking about Lu Yuanze, and was slapped by Lu Yuanzhi and thrown to the ground.

He stubbornly got up, his eyes were torn, his face was distorted, and he knelt on the ground and yelled at Lu Yuanzhi: "You don't believe me! You think I killed my eldest brother! Then you can kill me! Just use this dagger to stab me! I'm going to ask my eldest brother who killed him!"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at him one last time, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, let go of his hand, and the dagger landed, he said: "From this moment on, you are the son of the Lu family, and you will officially salute after the funeral is over......."

Lu Yuancheng froze, was in a trance for a moment, and then bowed down, and tears fell when he lowered his head: "Yes, father." ”

He continued: "For a while, the power and wealth cannot be greedy, what the Lu family wants is a real solid foundation, the friends of the DPRK and China are particularly important, I have been in politics for my father for more than 30 years, and I have recruited a large number of allies for our Lu family in the court, they have always been loyal to me, and they will be loyal to you in the future, but you have to remember that today's friends may be tomorrow's enemies, so you must guard against them while using them, and more importantly, at the same time support your own court center, you are still young, you can't expect those old people to obey you much, you have to start with young officials." ”

"The imperial examination is a good opportunity to attract power, so for so many years, I have valued the imperial examination the most, so there are countless protégés inside and outside, but you have to be cautious in selecting people, and you can't let your friends affect you. This year, this piece is for you to stare at wholeheartedly, you have done much better than I expected, I have seen the public papers of those candidates, there are not a few virtuous and talented people, and most of them are from the family, the candidates are all possible, you are careful is ......"

"Yes, father. He said goodbye, got up, and went out.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to help Lu Yuanzhi pick up the dagger that fell on the ground and put it in the corner of his desk.

Lu Yuancheng passed by the front yard with heavy white silk, glanced back at the coffin in the mourning hall, gritted his teeth, and wanted to tear off the white towel on his head.

He strode out of the mansion gate, went to the most lively Jiuhui Street, poured himself a drink in the restaurant, and an entourage came to him, Lu Yuancheng only asked that person to go to Gu's mansion to call Gu Qinghuan.

When Gu Qinghuan arrived, he was already drunk, half leaning on the couch, and when he saw Gu Qinghuan coming in, he raised his glass and said with an exaggerated smile: "Qinghuan, come on, drink with me to celebrate!" Celebrate...... I finally became the son of the Lu family!"

Gu Qinghuan sat down next to him, snatched his wine jug, and said, "You have become a son, isn't it a good thing? Why are you still crying?"

Lu Yuancheng couldn't feel how awkward his expression was like crying and laughing, so he raised his head and drank a cup: "Because I'm just crying and mourning, haven't you seen me in this mourning dress?"

"What the hell is going on?" Gu Qinghuan said impatiently.

Lu Yuancheng collapsed on the table piled with empty wine jugs, and muttered: "Because of the word on the dagger...... My father was suspicious of me...... Kill my big brother...... My father is such a shrewd man, and he would rather believe in those doubts than me in such a foolish matter......"

Gu Qinghuan understood what was going on in his heart, but in fact, when he said that word, he couldn't get rid of it.

He once asked Lu Yuan to sign the arrears and handed them to Gu Qingning - few people know that Gu Qingning has a special skill that imitates other people's handwriting to the point of being chaotic.

They got Lu Yuancheng's handwriting for other purposes, but Gu Qingning used it elsewhere first, and he didn't know about it until Gu Qingning told them the truth about Lu Yuanze's death.

However, at this moment, he still pretended to be surprised in the face of Lu Yuancheng, so he asked him for details, Lu Yuancheng told him what happened like a dream, and revealed to him that Lu Yuanzhi was very satisfied with the arrangement with him in the science field.

Lu Yuancheng tonight can't see whether it is great sorrow or great joy, I'm afraid even he can't tell clearly.

Gu Qinghuan drank a few glasses with him, he was more cheerful, and began to sing poetry, not like he deliberately used profound poems to be elegant, he was drunk and only talked about his true temperament, and he chanted whatever he wanted......

In the middle of the night, the two went out of the restaurant, supported each other on Chang'an Street, and stumbled along, just like ronins.

They walked freely through the jagged buildings and pavilions, chanting loudly in the streets, high and low, reciting those verses.

……

"The spring breeze is proud...... Horseshoe disease, see it all in one day...... Chang'an Flower ......"

"The weather is new on March 3, and the Dolly people on the waterside of Chang'an ......"

"When will I go into Chang'an hand in hand?"

……

“…… The flowers are not blooming, and the old people are young. Nine doors of carriage and horses came to disturb it. Pedestrians don't envy Chang'an Road! Dan forbids leakage ...... Qugu Bao. Dawn ...... Chang'an City...... People grow old ......"

The night is quiet, but the people are not quiet, on the street of nine times, there are places where sheng songs wander, there are places where sleepless nights, and there are people who are miscellaneous......

Chang'an City, sleepless tonight.

Inside the towering wall is the prosperity of the peace, outside the city wall is the hard world full of hunger, and the truth of the world finally began to pour into Chang'an City one after another from this night.

Roosters crow, morning bells ring, city gates are wide open, and some people are about to be awakened......

Some people have woken up.

On March 10, the palace tried to elect officials, and the rookies of officialdom rose.

On March 5, the spring entrance examination was held, and the examination room competed.

On March 2, the refugees began to enter the imperial city, and they were out of control......
