There was a sharp edge and mystery hidden in the words, Mei Rui just didn't realize it, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty has always loved the heavy guards, if you change to a slave, will Your Majesty be willing to change it?" Then he replied, "But the slave maid can't even take a step in the imperial city, how can he be tied up by the Turks, and the guards are also extremely cautious people, how can they end up in the same situation as Xiao Jiedu?" ”

The little emperor took a sip of tea with the teacup, nodded and said, "What Rui Rui said is that Lu Zhi has always been very cautious in doing things, and I am very relieved. ”

Hearing the profound meaning, Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for your majesty's praise, the minister is afraid." ”

After finishing speaking, he waited for the words of the little emperor, and sure enough, the little emperor pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, this time I will send troops to the northwest, and you will be the supervisor of the army, Lu Zhi." He turned his back and his eyes wandered over the map, "My father told me that this piece of the northwest cannot be lost, and Xiao Jingzhong is incompetent, so he let the Turks kill him." He thought that there had been no war in the northwest for many years, but the military salary was allocated more and more year by year, and he could get fat, but he didn't know that he gave his life in vain, which he deserved. ”

Mei Rui looked sideways at Lu Zhen, and saw that the corners of his mouth were calm, and his eyes looked at the little emperor unswervingly, and the little emperor continued: "The Turks have always made inches of progress, and if they fail to stop the future troubles forever this time, they will definitely become more and more intense in the future, but the momentum is so big, I am afraid that the people who go will not be satisfied, and in turn, they have rebellious thoughts, and they will attack Chang'an with the Turks, then they are really helpless." Therefore, I will send a trustworthy person to accompany the overseer, and you are the only one I can trust. ”

The little emperor turned around and called out his name, "Lu Zhen." ”

Lu Zhi turned his back to the light, and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he could only see him raise his hand, the dark purple sleeve robe rolled down, and even the beast pattern rippled, he stood still, bowed deeply, and his hand passed over his head, blocking his expression just right, only his voice came, rock-like and indestructible: "Minister, obey the order." ”

Hearing his voice, the little emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, walked over and helped him up, the feeling in his heart was a little complicated, "You don't have to make this big gift, this journey to the northwest is bitter and cold, you have to take care." ”

Lu Zhi smiled lightly: "Thank you." ”

The little emperor looked at Lu Zhena and smiled, his throat was a little dry, but he didn't know what to say, and waved his hands behind his back in distraught, "Okay, let's stand down first, I will read the book for a while." ”

After Lu Zhi withdrew, Fu San'er, who was waiting outside, posted it, and seeing that Lu Zhi didn't look very good, he didn't dare to ask anything, just blindly followed Lu Zhi. Lu Zhen's long legs and long steps were able to move again, Fu San'er followed a little hard, the clouds in front of him were thick, and he suddenly stopped his steps, Fu San'er braked dangerously, wiped the sweat on his forehead and leaned over and asked, "What are the commands of the guards?" ”

Lu Zhi half-lowered his eyes, "Has King Xiang often entered the palace recently?" ”

Fu San'er shook his head and said that he didn't know, "Since Zhao Niangniang was deposed, Prince Xiang seems to be a little loveless, hiding in the palace all day long to enjoy flowers and birds, depressed for a long time, and only recently a little better." ”

I have never heard of anyone who goes to enjoy flowers and amuse birds when he is depressed, the corners of Lu Zhi's mouth sank, and he assigned Fu San'er, "Go and check." ”

After Fu San'er answered, she thought for a while before she dared to speak, "Your Majesty still let you go to supervise the army after all?" ”

In the autumn breeze, Lu Zhi bowed his head, and Fu San'er was next to him to hold grievances, very angry, "There has never been such an example before, the prison army, just send someone to go, our Dajin has never had a precedent for letting people from the inner court go to supervise the army, what does your majesty think, if you leave, it will take a year and a half to lead the troops to fight, let alone a year and a half, and it will be three or five years longer, who will look at those chapters on the desk, and the court and the central government must not turn the sky upside down?" ”

Before the words fell, Lu Zhi drank him, "The affairs of the court are decided by His Majesty, I am just a courtier, and I am just a courtier, sharing worries and relieving labor for His Majesty, without me, Da Jin is still Da Jin." ”

Fu San'er realized that he had said the wrong thing, but fortunately, Lu Zhi did not punish him too much, he was very upset for Lu Zhi in his heart, and when he was stopped by Su Fang halfway down, he was also full of anger.

Su Fang rarely saw Fu San'er, and remembered that Qiao Yu had mentioned this little Fu father-in-law before he released Chang'an, so he took the initiative to say hello to him, "Where is Xiao Fu father-in-law going?" ”

Fu San'er weakly bowed to Su Fang, "Imperial Doctor Su, the slave went to pass a word for the guard." ”

Su let go of his voice, "I see that Gonggong Xiaofu's complexion is not very good, and there are some signs of illness from hard work, do you want me to disclose the deputy prescription for Gonggong Xiaofu to recuperate and recuperate?" ”

Fu San'er shook his hand and said that there was no need, he was still very depressed, and it was easy to meet someone who was good friends with Lu Zhen, and he couldn't help but complain about the bitter water, "You said, the protectors are all brave and loyal, how can Your Majesty be so suspicious of him?" ”

Su Fang sighed twice, and only said that he didn't forget to discuss political affairs, "Isn't there something else to do with Father-in-law Xiaofu, let's go quickly, if the things that Shao Jing explained are not done, he will be angry again." ”

After sending Fu San'er away, Su Fang shook his sleeves and went to Beiya to look for Lu Zhen, and only then did he enter the duty room, and the guards told him: "The escort is not here, and Imperial Doctor Su has run away in vain." ”

"It's strange," Su Fang held his forehead, "This person hates to settle down in the duty room on weekdays, and he hasn't even been back to the Protector's Mansion a few times, why can't he be found today?" ”

The guard was not strict in his mouth, and he talked to Su Fang with melon seeds, "Xiaofu's father-in-law was sent out by the guards on his front foot, and the old man left on the back foot of the guard, and he didn't let us follow, and he didn't know where to go, the gods were mysterious, but according to my estimate, most of them were looking for Aunt Mei Rui, Imperial Doctor Su, do you think it's yes or no?" ”

The guards really guessed correctly, when Mei Rui returned to the court from Zichen Palace, she saw Lu Zhi who was waiting for her at the door, wearing a dark purple round-necked small-sleeved shirt, which was very eye-catching, attracting everyone who came and went to look at it. She walked over quickly, gasping a little as she stood in front of him, "Why did the escort come here?" ”

Then he said, "This is not the place to speak, the protectors come with me." ”

Pulling him away, Lu Zhi didn't refute, followed her through the corridor and turned the fence, and finally stopped, she looked back at him with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with the guards looking for me?" ”

Lu Zhi nodded, "You heard it during the day, and Your Majesty asked me to accompany the supervising army." ”

Mei Rui's smile faded, and her voice became lighter, "Well, I heard it all." ”

It's just that she can't see it for some time, and the suppressed love in the day suddenly rose to its peak, and she was afraid that it would drown her like a tidal wave, but she still forced herself to laugh calmly, and said to Lu Zhen: "When will you leave?" ”

Lu Zhi frowned, "Five days later." ”

She didn't expect it to be so fast, probably because the war in the northwest was tight, Mei Rui sighed, "What is this called?" ”

Lu Zhi said, "I'm relieved to go, Your Majesty is right, the northwest is indeed a heavy land, you can't lose it, there has been no war in the northwest in recent years, the original strong soldiers and horses have been ruined, it is necessary to reorganize it, otherwise how can the Turks be beaten so that they no longer dare to attack?" ”

That's the reason, Mei Rui hummed, "I know everything, so please take care of the guards." ”

"Okay."

He grabbed her hand, reluctant to take care of it, autumn made this separation more bitter, he kissed her fingertips, and said softly: "I have never eaten the sugar cake you made, make it for me once, as always." ”
