Lu Wenyuan was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that the emperor was fine before, why did he make such a fuss now. Other civil and military officials also listened with pointed ears, and at this time they couldn't stop talking, some said that today's early dynasty was afraid that it would not be able to go up, some said that once this rule was broken, it was unknown whether there would be an early court in the future, and some said that the imperial historian in the court was not worried that there was no bullet to write.

Lu Wenyuan heard that the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, he hurriedly turned around and shouted, and asked Fu Qian to clean up order here, and he hurriedly entered the palace with Gui Xi to visit.

The two of them walked on the road without much talk, and soon passed through several palace gates. Lu Wenyuan was anxious to see the emperor's situation, and his feet were like flying, and he couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly to the Qianqing Palace immediately.

After walking for a while, Lu Wenyuan found that Gui Xi gradually slowed down, and frequently turned back to look at himself, as if he was hesitating about something. Lu Wenyuan was so strange that he hurriedly asked, "Why didn't my father-in-law leave?"

Gui Xi listened to his voice, and became more and more hesitant, and muttered for a long time before he turned to the side and muttered: "The slave has some words, I don't know whether to say them or not." ”

Lu Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, it's okay to say it. ”

Gui Xi looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he simply overstepped the etiquette, walked side by side with Lu Wenyuan, and said in a low voice: "The slave knows that there are some things that should not be said by the subordinates, but Lord Lu is generous, and the slave and maid have the courage to say a word, the lord will see the emperor later, can you not blame the emperor?"

Lu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gui Xi's use of the word "blame" was a bit abrupt, could it be that the situation of his ordinary admonition to the emperor actually had some meaning of "blame" in the eyes of others? Hurriedly said in fear: "Where is this father-in-law, how dare you blame the emperor as a courtier, and the lower level is just to know the emperor's interests." ”

Gui Xi said: "My lord forgives the sin, it is the slave who is lying in vain." But the slave still wants to ask the lord to be gentle with the emperor. ”

Lu Wenyuan looked surprised, and didn't know where he started to say this, so he listened to Gui Xi and continued: "The emperor's changes in the past few days, the slave maid is in the eyes, and maybe because he gets along with the emperor day and night, he sees it more truly than adults. ”

"The emperor has always been very unaccustomed to going to court, and it is also related to the fact that he has not been in court for many years. Every night before the court, the emperor couldn't sleep well, so he was reluctant to get up in the morning. At the beginning, there were several cabinet adults who forced them to get better, but later several adults gradually let go, and it was the emperor himself who forced himself, and every time he got up early in the morning, he washed his face with cold water and forced himself to be sober. Slaves and maids sometimes see that the emperor is sad, and they are sad, but what do you guess the emperor said?"

Lu Wenyuan hurriedly said, "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor said that the court was not his business alone, and he couldn't let the civil and military officials wait outside for nothing, let alone let Lord Lu be impeached by the officials because he was absent from the court. ”

Lu Wenyuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but turn his head sideways to look at Gui Xi. Gui Xi also glanced up at Lu Wenyuan, his expression was quite complicated, and continued: "Lord Lu was impeached by the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee for the spring flood of Datong Mansion before, and the emperor has actually been looking at it, and he blames himself. It is precisely because of this that he has been forcing himself to go to court, and he can't bear to suffer from impeachment because of himself. ”

Lu Wenyuan's nose was a little sour, he looked at the direction of the Qianqing Palace and couldn't speak for a long time, his heart turned over the river and the sea, and he didn't know what to do.

Gui Xi was silent for a long time, and then sighed again: "The emperor has been forcing himself to be very miserable recently, and today is probably really unbearable, so the slave maid dared to beg the adults not to blame the emperor, and the emperor has really tried his best." After that, he stared at Lu Wenyuan with his eyes blank.

Lu Wenyuan suppressed his tears and nodded solemnly.

The two of them went up the white marble steps in front of the hall, and saw that the gate of the main hall was hidden, and there were two rows of eunuchs and palace maids kneeling at the door.

Gui Xi's face was also blue, and he pushed open the door of the palace and led Lu Wenyuan to the door of the emperor's bedroom, so he refused to take another step inside, and only told Lu Wenyuan to deal with it carefully, and never to stand up to the emperor again.

The dormitory was quiet, and the emperor had stopped throwing things at the moment, and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror on the dresser, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lu Wenyuan cautiously bypassed the mess on the ground, came to Zhu Shiyang, knelt at his feet and said: "Minister Lu Wenyuan knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

Lu Wenyuan lay on the ground for a long time, and did not wait for Zhu Shiyang's reaction. boldly looked up and found that Zhu Shiyang was still sitting still. Lu Wenyuan had no choice but to get up from the ground by himself, thought about it, walked closer to the emperor, and called softly: "Your Majesty?"

Zhu Shiyang was stunned for a long time, still looking at the bronze mirror in front of him and not speaking. Lu Wenyuan was sweating like rain, I was really afraid that he would suddenly be angry in the next moment, and when he was secretly panicking, he saw him slowly turn his head, his face was haggard, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.

Lu Wenyuan was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Zhu Shiyang's expression was full of tears, his eyes turned red again, and Fang said in a low voice: "I'm tired." ”

Lu Wenyuan's heart throbbed. I saw that the emperor who was domineering in the past was only wearing a bright yellow obscene dress at this moment, with black hair scattered all over his head, a slight stiffness on his back, and a blue halo under his eyes that was shocking. Lu Wenyuan only said that he took the emperor's visit to the court for granted, but he never knew that the emperor would suffer so much behind his back, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to persuade him to go to the court, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he stayed for a long time, and only held back the sentence "The emperor ......"

Zhu Shiyang stopped looking at him, and slowly turned his head again, lying on the dresser, as if he wanted to sleep, but when he closed his eyes, he opened his mouth again, and said in a faint voice: "Lu Wenyuan, I know what you are here for." ”

Lu Wenyuan bowed his head and acquiesced. Zhu Shiyang said again: "I didn't mean not to go to the early dynasty, I was just a little tired." Rest a little longer, and I'll go with you. ”

Lu Wenyuan was a little surprised, he thought that today's morning dynasty was going to be canceled, but he didn't expect the emperor to propose to go by himself. Thinking of what Gui Xi said on the road, he couldn't help but feel relieved and uncomfortable, and said softly: "Okay, if the minister doesn't urge the emperor, the emperor can take a good rest." ”

Zhu Shiyang was silent for a long time, simply buried his face in the crook of his arm, and said sullenly: "Lu Wenyuan, I have some things that I can't say to others, but if I don't say it, I won't be happy, if I say it to you...... Will you listen?"

Lu Wenyuan said softly: "The emperor said it, the ministers listened to it." ”

Zhu Shiyang said: "When I got up this morning, I was thinking, when others are tired, they still have parents and wives, relatives and friends to rely on, but I am the son of heaven, but why don't I even have someone to rely on." I know that I am the king of a country, and that all the subjects of the world depend on me, and that I must not be weak, or that I must not show weakness. But I am also a human being, and there are times when I am fragile and sad, I also need a shoulder to lean on and rest, but I can't find ......" Zhu Shiyang said this, his voice was already a little choked, and he tightened his arms more and more, as if he wanted to hold something, and as if he wanted to hold himself.

Lu Wenyuan mourned in his heart, his eyes were also a little wet, and after hesitating for a while, he still raised his hand and touched Zhu Shiyang's shoulder, gently rubbing it to show comfort.

Zhu Shiyang looked up at him, and somehow, big tears welled up in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Lu Wenyuan's waist, burying his face in his stomach and sobbing.

Lu Wenyuan saw that the emperor was crying like a child in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel sad, his fingers passed through the emperor's waterfall-like black hair, and he gently combed it for a while, and said softly: "It's all the minister's fault, it's the minister who pushed the emperor too hard." ”

After a while, Zhu Shiyang finally gradually returned to normal, raised his head from Lu Wenyuan, wiped his face, his expression was firm again, and said, "Don't tell others about today's events." Tell them to come in and comb my hair, I want to go to court. ”

Lu Wenyuan agreed, turned around and hurriedly wiped the tears on his face. After a while, Gui Xi led a Ying palace person to hurry in, and soon cleaned up the emperor. Zhu Shiyang was dressed in a dragon robe and wore a crown on his head, and walked forward with Lu Wenyuan under the rising sun.

Behind them, the order of "The Emperor Takes Charge of the Qing Palace" sounded one after another. 166 Reading Network
