As soon as these words came out, the entire Jinluan Hall was suddenly silent, Duan Yi snorted coldly, looked at the people in the hall coldly, and his voice was like the east wind of this cold winter, cold to the bone marrow: "This is the first holy decree promulgated after I ascended the throne, and those who resist the decree will be beheaded." ”

After that, he got up, flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Everyone in the court, whether it is a rightist or a leftist, no one thought that he would be so strong, so strong that he went his own way, completely ignoring everything else.

However, the effect is significant, even if it is Zuo Xiang, in this case, he can only shut up and think of other ways.

It's just that what can he do? It's just that some messages have been circulated, saying that the new emperor is a son of man in vain, and he doesn't care about etiquette. After a while, they can only send people to the market to spread some Duan Yi who is in a hurry to ascend the throne as the emperor, so even the funerals of the first emperor have to be hastily done.

But before he could start spreading these well-thought-out rumors, other rumors reached his ears.

This rumor is exactly the opposite of what he wants to spread. It is said that Duan Yi is filial piety, and he strictly follows the teachings of the former emperor Sheji and ascends the throne to hold state affairs.

It also abolished the funeral ceremony, abolished the ancient ritual of laboring the people and hurting money, and everything was simple, and it was safe to enter the earth.

Even sent an order to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, and since he built the imperial tomb to be simple, its scale has been reduced to three percent of the emperor.

When these rumors reached Zuo Xiang's ears, Zuo Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "If the tiger father really has no dog, don't underestimate it......"

Just when Zuo Xiang sighed and said that he had nothing to do, he received another secret letter, which made his whole body feel shocked, just because the secret letter had four words written on it: "I will return in two days." ”

Zuo Xiang immediately summoned his henchmen and asked them to spread the news that Duan Chen was the emperor's eldest son according to the plan.

Although Emperor Zhengde announced that Lu Shaofu would be demoted by three levels, he did not say what kind of official he was after he was demoted by three levels, he was annoyed and unwilling, but now that Duan Yi ascended the throne, his eyes rolled and he became happy.

The young prince and master, especially the prince and young master like him, who has no real power, looks at him as a second-class person, but he has no power and no power and can only honestly receive a fortune, and the left and right factions look down on him.

Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, although he has been demoted three levels in a row, if Lu Zhi is asked to come forward to find a fat shortage for him, wouldn't he be a hundred times stronger than any prince and young master?!

Lu Shaofu smiled when he thought about it, he knew very well in his heart, how to judge the previous case, in fact, to put it bluntly, it all depends on Emperor Zhengde's mood, but Emperor Zhengde is partial to him, otherwise, Chrysostom said that he was guilty, and he was innocent!

And this kind of favoritism does not come from others, but from Duan Yi's heart for Lu Zhi.

The young master Lu who figured it out did not leave the Jinluan Palace immediately, but stood silently in the corner, waiting for everyone to disperse, waiting for the people on the right to go to find Duan Yi, and when they almost all withdrew, he cowered and held a little eunuch and told Deng Hai that he asked to see Duan Yi.

Deng Hai came to pick him up in person, greeted him with a smile, and his attitude was very enthusiastic, but he did not lead him to the apse, but led him to a palace and said to him: "Your Majesty knows that the young master has been tired these days, so he specially ordered the miscellaneous family to arrange for the young master to rest in the palace, and after Your Majesty is busy, he will definitely come to find the young master in person." ”

Deng Hai was able to have such an attitude towards him, Young Master Lu was simply flattered, and when he heard this again, he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you let Your Majesty come to find the guilty minister? ”

"The young master doesn't need to be presumptuous. Deng Hai said with a smile: "In Your Majesty's heart, what status are you, can the miscellaneous family still not know? His Royal Highness has just ascended the throne, the first emperor has not yet been buried, there are too many things to deal with, if the young master has any urgent matter, you may wish to inform the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will pass on a word for the young master, if the young master's matter is not so urgent, you may as well rest here according to His Royal Highness's arrangement, and wait for His Majesty to come when he is free." ”

Young Master Lu naturally didn't dare to inform Deng Hai of his purpose for finding Duan Yi, he was not so stupid as to know that at this time, everything Duan Yi was busy with was a big deal, and his private matter really shouldn't be mentioned at this time.

So he hurriedly said to Deng Hai that he was in no hurry, and he wouldn't bother, so he would go back to his house and come back when Duan Yi was not busy.

Hearing the word "homecoming", Deng Hai immediately smiled and said: "The young master has suffered some grievances in the past few days, this is a little compensation from His Royal Highness to the young master, the young master still has to refuse, so as not to disappoint His Majesty." ”

Deng Hai's words have all been said to this point, what else can Young Master Lu say?

By the way, think about how to get along with Lu Zhi after returning home.

After a night, the rumors were full of rumors, and the new rumors covered the old ones, and the new rumors said that Emperor Zhengde raped his brother and daughter-in-law in vain Gu Changlun, gave birth to Duan Chen and promised to take the throne, and after having Duan Yi, he rebelled, and persecuted Duan Chen and the royal army several times.

Duan Chen did not care about the past suspicions, but still fulfilled his duties and worked diligently, guarding the border for Emperor Zhengde and Daqi Town, and when he first heard the news of Emperor Zhengde's death, he once cried bitterly, abandoned his identity and others, and rushed back to Beijing just to see the last face of Emperor Zhengde.

However, Duan Yi was worried that Duan Chen would come back to compete for the throne, not only did he hastily ascend the throne and bury Emperor Zhengde, but also set up checkpoints to prevent Duan Chen from returning to Beijing, and even issued a secret order to take Duan Chen's life!

If this rumor is placed in the past, ordinary people would not dare to believe it, after all, Emperor Zhengde is the emperor of the ages in their minds, but these rumors are consistent with what happened, such as Emperor Zhengde's suppression of Duan Chen, such as Duan Yi's hasty enthronement and burial, as well as the checkpoints set up.

With these things in front of them, the people of the capital of Qi Kingdom believed it so easily, and only a very few were still skeptical.

When the news reached the palace, Duan Yi snorted coldly: "Order, remove all the barriers, all the guards are lined up at the city gate, and then the word goes, just say that Duan Chen left his post without invitation, but Duan Chen is the general of the Qi State who has made great achievements, and he is the cousin of the new emperor since childhood, so he is exempted from his crimes." ”

He paused and said, "Let it go, if Duan Chen enters the capital, I will personally greet him at the city gate." ”

Although the rightists had long been ready to retreat south, they were still angry and worried when they heard the rumors, but after hearing Duan Yi's words, they were immediately relieved.

The so-called three or two thousand pounds, but that's it!

The people on the right were busy spreading rumors, and they were busy opening the imperial mausoleum to bury Emperor Zhengde and Empress Xiao, and Lu Zhi, who lived at the dock inn, was also very busy.

She was busy inquiring about the news and analyzing the situation, but she analyzed and analyzed, and came to only one conclusion, Duan Chen was coming back soon, and she had to leave immediately!

That night, she summoned Mrs. Wu and Chen, and asked them to stay and wait for the boat, while she herself and the three of them changed to the official road, walked hundreds of miles south, and then boarded the boat from the ferry port to Jiangnan to meet them.

After arranging these, Lu Zhi immediately decided to leave before dawn, but the next morning, she opened her eyes, looked at her with a handsome face with a gentle smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and said softly: "Where does Zhi'er want to go?"
