Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Zhao Mingcheng was in a mess and thought, "It's broken." ”

With a shudder all over his body, Zhao Mingcheng inadvertently took a step out, and when he looked around, he saw that a person suddenly turned out, and this person was Lord Zhizhou.

Cai Nu was surprised, and hurriedly reached out to cover her lips, so as not to make a sound.

Seeing this, Lu Defu subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, grabbed Brother Zhao, dragged him inward, dragged him into the door, and jumped quickly, jumped in front of Brother Zhao, and resisted Brother Zhao.

Zhizhou looked at this, his face was full of horror, and he turned his head again, and saw Li Gefei who was following him, and said sharply to him: "Master Li, Zhao Gongzi is in the mansion, what else do you have to say?" ”

Li Gefei was already twisting back and forth, and finally sighed helplessly, slapped his hands on his thighs, and sighed on his back.

Zhizhou didn't pay attention to him, just waved his hand in, and said, "You all go in." ”

Suddenly, a number of soldiers poured in, armed with weapons, and blocked the outside of the door.

Lu Defu's eyes were wide, his heart was uneven, he clenched his fists and stepped forward, but he didn't feel enough, he took a big step again, walked directly out of the door, and said loudly: "My lord is fortunate to have come to a private place in person, what is the matter?" ”

Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "This Lu Defu is young and vigorous, and he is brave enough to be a horseman, so I won't worry about him first." ”

Suddenly smiling, Zhizhou reached out and hugged his fists, and said to Lu Defu: "Brother Lu is laughing, Ben Zhizhou came to ask." There is no malice. ”

Lu Defu was about to say something, but he was stopped by Cai Nu who came out.

Cai Nu smiled embarrassedly at Lord Zhizhou: "Yun'er came here as a guest, but I didn't know that Lord Zhizhou was coming. Thank you for your understanding. ”

Zhizhou smiled even more, but he was very sincere, and hurriedly replied: "Miss Cai is friendly, and Xia Guan naturally knows." As for what to forgive me, it was Miss Cai who was really polite. ”

Lu Defu said: "Don't say useless words, what did your lord do when he came here today?" ”

Actually, Lu Defu doesn't know yet? Lord Zhizhou is in such a position, then he is here to get people. It's just that he wants to be anti-guest-oriented. It's just a deliberate momentum.

Zhizhou smiled coldly, and then said: "There is an edict from the saint to summon Zhao Gongzi back to Beijing." Last time I came to ask. But it was in vain. The emperor was a little upset and failed to find Zhao Gongzi. This time, the emperor issued an edict and asked the lower officials to come and find it in person. ”

As he spoke, Zhizhou raised his face again. Said to the door: "Zhao Gongzi." You don't have to hide, the emperor has no ill will towards you. The Holy One wants to ask you to go back! ”

Lu Defu was about to speak, but was grabbed by Cai Nu again. Looking back, he saw Yun'er shaking his head at him, although he was angry in his heart, he still calmed down and closed his mouth again.

Cai Nu looked at Xianggong and turned her head again. I went to see Lord Zhizhou and smiled at him, "My lord said." The emperor has an edict, do you want Brother Zhao to listen to it? ”

Na Zhizhou said respectfully: "Naturally, it is." Where do the lower officials dare to slacken? This is busy coming to the Li Mansion to invite Zhao Gongzi. ”

Cai Nu smiled and asked, "How does Lord Zhizhou know that Zhao Gongzi is in the mansion?" ”

Na Zhizhou also looked helpless, smiled awkwardly with Miss Cai, and then said: "Just now in the front hall, Lord Li and Mrs. Li shifted their words everywhere, and said some inconsequential words with the lower officials. Xia Guan naturally guessed that Zhao Gongzi was in the house. Besides, Zhao Gongzi is a person who reads poetry and books, and he is only used to staying at home before. Suddenly ran out of the capital, and there was no trace of him. So where else can he go except to come to Qingzhou?

Last time, the saint came to decree that he would summon Zhao Gongzi back, but he was not found. Presumably, there is also a distance from the capital to Qingzhou. Zhao Gongzi walked on foot and had not yet arrived. So it's been a long time since the last time. Even if Zhao Gongzi stops and goes, it's time to arrive, right? ”

Cai Nu suddenly heard him ask, and had nothing to say, so she had to look left and right, and she was stumbling.

Zhizhou said loudly again: "Zhao Gongzi, you don't have to hide, the emperor wants you to go back, that is to ask you to continue to study in Taixue, and there is no intention to punish you." Come out of here. ”

Li Gefei was about to defend himself, but he suddenly heard the door say: "Mingcheng is here, don't embarrass the teacher." ”

Everyone looked for the sound, and as soon as the voice stopped, a person flashed out of the door, and that person was Zhao Mingcheng.

Zhao Mingcheng took a step out, and suddenly heard the lady in the door crying and shouting: "Xianggong, don't go." ”

Zhao Mingcheng paused, pursed his lips, and walked out.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Li Qingzhao moved out with both hands on the door panel. Seeing this, Lu Defu panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, why did you come out?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng still couldn't bear it, so he turned his head back to look, and saw the Defu brothers supporting the lady, the scene was unbearable, which really made him jealous. Zhao Mingcheng shook his head again and again, and said, "Okay, that's what it looks like." ”

Suddenly angry, Zhao Mingcheng turned around directly, and said to Lord Zhizhou: "I'm here, Lord Zhizhou doesn't need to look for it." Take me away, and don't embarrass your teacher. ”

Zhizhou was frightened by Zhao Mingcheng, shook his head, and said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, naturally not embarrassed." ”

Li Gefei hurriedly said: "Mingcheng, you ......"

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The teacher doesn't need to say much. Lord Zhizhou, I was the one who went out of Beijing without permission, and now the emperor wants me to go back, so Mingcheng will do what he wants. I'm going back, please don't embarrass my teacher's family. ”

At this time, Li Qingzhao wanted to move forward again, but was stopped by Sister Yun'er. Cai Nu and her sister-in-law made a look, and when Li Qingzhao saw it, she didn't talk anymore.

Zhizhou said: "It turns out that you are really here." Have you been hiding here for so many days? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Yes, Mingcheng is unwilling to go back to the capital, so he ......"

Na Zhizhou said: "That's disobeying the holy decree, you are so bold." The last time I came to the Holy Decree, I will call you back. If you're not there, it's okay if you don't go back. Now that you have come to Qingzhou, you should naturally know that the holy decree has been made. Why did you stay here for so many days? ”

Zhao Mingcheng turned his head and glanced at the lady gently, and then turned his head back. said coldly: "I...... Young and frivolous, the guilt is not small. After Ming Cheng returned to Beijing, he would personally go to the emperor to ask for guilt. ”

Na Zhizhou was also very anxious, and said to Zhao Mingcheng: "Zhao Gongzi, you are too arrogant. The emperor decreed that if you don't go back, this is a big crime to kill your head. You...... Ah...... Master Lee. How can you tolerate Zhao Gongzi staying with you for so many days? ”

Li Gefei was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, he naturally wanted to let his son-in-law and daughter live together. There is nothing else to worry about. But how can I say it myself?

Cai Nu thought in her heart: "Yun'er relies on her father's power, she should be able to intercede." ”

Therefore, suddenly there was a straight color, and Cai Nu said to Zhizhou: "Yun'er is willing to let Brother Zhao and sister-in-law form a pair, so she also concealed this news." ”

Na Zhizhou looked at Miss Cai. I want to reproach her. But he was afraid of her status, thought about it again and again, and finally squeezed out a smile and said to Miss Cai: "The holy decree is hard to resist." ”

Cai Nu said: "I know. If we talk about resisting the decree, every one of us here has resisted the decree. Regarding the matter of resisting the decree, Yun'er will explain the situation to her father, so there is no need for Lord Zhizhou to worry about it. ”

When Zhizhou heard this, he was overjoyed. How could he be willing to watch Zhao Gongzi be punished? He was originally cultivated by Lord Cai and Lord Zhao, so he naturally regarded the people here as his own. That's why Fang Cai said angry words to Zhao Gongzi. Now that Miss Cai is arrogant, she has given herself the confidence in her heart.

Therefore, Zhizhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to Miss Cai: "Yes, the lower officials are all drawn by Lord Cai, and now Miss Cai's words are just like Lord Cai's words, where do the lower officials dare to disobey?" ”

Cai Nu smiled lightly, and then said: "Okay, dare to ask Lord Zhizhou, what is the oracle of the Holy Lord?" ”

Zhizhou straightened his chest and said loudly: "The saint said that as long as Zhao Gongzi can return to Beijing, he will return to the position of Zhao Gongzi's student." After Zhao Gongzi learned from Taixue, he and high-ranking officials will change the law in the future, and the court will have another powerful minister. ”

When Cai Nu heard this, she wanted to ask if it was true, but she thought that he naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense about the emperor's words. If you ask yourself, isn't that against the Divine Will? Therefore, with a cough, Cai Nu said to Brother Zhao: "Brother Zhao, can you hear clearly?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng's face was indifferent, and he suddenly sneered and said, "I heard it." ”

Cai Nu hurriedly said: "The Holy Decree, why do you look loose?" Why don't you kneel down and take the order? ”

Zhao Mingcheng was still thinking about how the lady was, and suddenly heard Miss Cai's words, so he woke up like a dream, looked back at Miss Cai, and was busy with a straight face, knelt down, and bowed to Na Zhizhou: "Mingcheng takes the order." ”

Na Zhizhou said: "Zhao Gongzi, the emperor wants you to go back, that is to give you benefits." The Holy One is not guilty of your past, don't you hurry up and give thanks? ”

Zhao Mingcheng bowed his head and bowed, bowed again, and cried and said, "Mingcheng is grateful." ”

Na Zhizhou sighed, and then turned to Lord Li on the side: "Lord Li, Zhao Gongzi is going back to Beijing." The lower officials are also beyond their strength. Today's events, I will report to the emperor truthfully. As for whether the emperor has accused you of resisting the decree, I don't know. As a minister, you should put the king first. The subordinate had no choice but to put aside the friendship between you and me, and don't blame it. ”

When Li Gefei heard this, he panicked and hurriedly thought, "What? Does the emperor want to blame? Those of us all knew that Mingcheng was here, but we didn't report it to the emperor, nor did we explain the benefits to Mingcheng. Hey, the emperor punished us for our crimes, and that is also deserved. ”

Cai Nu said: "Master Li doesn't have to worry, if you talk about the crime, Yun'er is also among them." Although Yun'er has no ability, she can still intercede with her father to keep us safe. ”

Li Gefei looked at Miss Cai and said to her: "Miss Cai is very kind, and the old man dare not forget it." ”

Cai Nu smiled and shook her head, "Lord Li is polite. ”

Turning her head again, Cai Nu and Brother Zhao said, "Brother Zhao, since the emperor has made an order, you can go back to Beijing." The Holy One is broad-minded, and does not blame you for the crime of resisting the decree, but you should remember the kindness of the Holy One and be a good official. ”

Zhao Mingcheng listened to Miss Cai's words, and when he looked back, he saw that Miss Cai had a straight face, and there was no mockery, and he didn't mean to be angry when he thought about her words, so he panicked in his heart.

Zhao Mingcheng thought: "Miss Cai is still trying her best to keep me, why is she so indifferent now and wants to persuade me to leave?" Could it be that Niangzi, does she really have something to do with Brother Lu? If they have something, Miss Cai, as the wife of Brother Lu, although she has not visited the church, she also has a deep affection. Ah, yes, Miss Cai wanted to cover up Brother Lu's ugliness, so she drove me away in a hurry. After I leave, Brother Lu will continue to take care of the lady, right? ”

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Mingcheng was even more angry, so he snorted coldly: "Miss Cai cares, Mingcheng thank you very much." It's just that Mingcheng returned to Beijing, presumably he won't come back. ”

Cai Nu listened to Zhao Gongzi's tone, as if she was still very dissatisfied with herself, and then looked at his eyes, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction. Therefore, Cai Nu said angrily in her heart: "Forget it if you are resentful, you must think that the father-in-law and sister-in-law are not innocent, right?" Yun'er doesn't think so anymore, but why do you keep drilling this bull's horn? ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head, tears rained down, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Xianggong: "Are you really leaving?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng didn't look at the lady either, snorted coldly with the lady, and then said: "Since Mingcheng has a bright future, why do you want to stay here?" ”

In fact, Zhao Mingcheng was angry for a while, and the implication was that you can't hold on, lady, if you have anything unclear with Brother Lu, you can't help Mingcheng. Mingcheng doesn't have to delay the future for you.

Li Qingzhao shook his head, looking at Xianggong's cold face, he really couldn't believe that such ruthless words could come out of Xianggong's mouth.

Zhizhou said: "Zhao Gongzi, since you are here, please come with us." This official has found a carriage for you, and entangled with you, so that you can go back to Beijing, and this is also my fulfillment of my holy order. ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Okay, there is Lord Lao Zhizhou." ”

Having said that, Zhao Mingcheng was still reluctant, and turned his head slightly, so he went to see the lady, but he was ruthless and turned his head back.

Li Qingzhao shook his head, although he wanted to catch Xianggong, he knew that he was too far away from Xianggong, and in desperation, he moved forward, but he was still dragged by Brother Lu and Sister Yun'er.

Cai Nu and her sister-in-law signaled, don't talk too much, let alone move.

As soon as Cai Nu stepped forward, she said to Zhizhou: "My lord, can you give me a few days?" So that Zhao Gongzi and his sister-in-law can be separated, and there will be an end, right? ”

Na Zhizhou thought about it, although he was reluctant, but he thought in his heart: "After all, Miss Cai is the daughter of the prime minister, and her words have weight. Even though I have a holy commandment, I still don't argue with her. ”

Therefore, Zhizhou Zhengse said: "Okay, since Miss Cai has spoken, then the lower officials have nothing to say." It's just that Zhao Gongzi can't be allowed to stay for a long time, there is an order from the saint, and it needs to be implemented quickly. ”

Cai Nu smiled lightly and said, "Yun'er understands. ”

Zhizhou said: "The lower official was promoted by Lord Cai, so he doesn't talk empty words." The lower officials want to help you, but there is really nothing they can do, since Zhao Gongzi has already come out, he will inevitably go back to the capital. Therefore, Zhao Gongzi, please make a decision quickly, so that you can return to Beijing as soon as possible, so as not to worry the emperor. (To be continued......)
