The imperial study room was empty, and after Lu Tianyang entered, he was slightly stunned to see that there was no one on the throne of the dragon chair, and the county lord of Zhaohua had just come to see him, how could Emperor Shenwu disappear?

Lu Tianyang couldn't help but look at the compartment, then thought of something, lowered his eyes obediently, and didn't dare to look around.

After about half a cup of tea, Gonggong Ma walked out of the compartment with a smile, "The emperor asked Marquis Yu to go in." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Tianyang thanked Gonggong Ma, was it really Emperor Shenwu who was testing himself?

Ma Gonggong's smile brightened a lot, and he used to think of King Qi's great kindness to him a little bit, and mention Lu Tianyang, the only son of King Qi. The rare Lu Tianyang is a sensible person who has helped Ma Gonggong with several things.

Now that Lu Tian has cultivated the Marquis of Yu, Gonggong Ma can see that the emperor has decided to reward Lu Tian with a rare honor, and the authority of the Marquis Yu will be heavier in the future, and maybe the King of Qi will work hard to ascend the throne of the emperor.

What the people who went to the male root asked for was nothing more than money and power, Ma Gonggong was the most trusted servant of Emperor Shenwu, even if the Shoufu Pavilion elder was polite in front of him, he had bought a lot of real estate outside the palace over the years and made money.

The money will not be used up in several lifetimes, and what Ma Gonggong wants now is to have a good death and have the life to spend this money.

Then, Lu Tianyang heard Ma Gonggong's whispered point, "There are very few people who can enter the cubicle of the imperial study to serve His Majesty, and Marquis Yu has a good chance." ”

Lu Tianyang curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

The old emperor is the most suspicious, and Emperor Shenwu is no exception, and the cubicle of the imperial study is where he rests, and even the prince is not allowed to enter.

Lu Tianyang never dared to underestimate the founding emperor who rose to the grass but could dominate the world, although Shilin and the people did not have a high opinion of Emperor Shenwu. It is said that he is greedy and lustful, moody, and appoints officials according to his preferences. But Emperor Shenwu can have today not only with good luck and the assistance of the founder king Mu Yi.

How could such an amazing and peerless Mu Wang Ye assist a mediocre talent after traveling the world?

Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, almost every founding emperor has done this, and now the founding heroes are more honest than quails, no matter which prince or which prince ascends the throne, he is sure to master this group of meritorious nobles who were killed by Emperor Shenwu.

"The minister greets His Majesty."

After entering the compartment, Lu Tianyang didn't even dare to raise his head, and respectfully knelt down on one knee to say goodbye.

Emperor Shenwu sat on the big kang near the window, his hand on the kang table. stared at the person in front of him with interest, he only thought that Lu Tianyang was too good-looking, more handsome than his brother-in-law. Now the more I look at it, the more it looks like it.

Fang was in a much better mood when he was upset by the county lord Zhaohua who didn't know how to reflect.

Suddenly thinking of the suffering that the county lord of Zhaohua had inflicted on Lu Tianyang, Emperor Shenwu felt that even his own son might not be able to forgive the county lord of Zhaohua.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and if they are hurt again and again, anyone will have complaints.

Emperor Shenwu picked up the teacup and took a sip. It's good. Lu Tianyang was raised by the fourth child, and he was not close to Zhaohua, but it was better to be close to King Qi.

First, it can give the Mu family a guarantee, and the blood relationship between Lu Tianyang and the Mu family is enough to ensure that Lu Tianyang will not kill the Mu family, and secondly, the power of the Mu family falls into the hands of Lu Tianyang, who is waiting for the king of Qi as his father, which is also good for the empire.

Emperor Shenwu can suppress or use the eldest princess well, but the new monarch may not be able to do it, in case the eldest princess and the new monarch work against each other, the empire will inevitably have a turmoil at that time.

If he uproots the Mu family at this time, it will clear the way for the new monarch. Not to mention that the government is bound to be chaotic, even he personally can't help but start with himself. The only biological sister who went in the rain, and the brother-in-law who died to save himself and just wanted to continue the follow-up incense of the Mu family.

The rights of the Mu family have to be slowly withdrawn, and it has to be ensured that the Mu family has been in the family for a hundred years, and only Lu Tianyang is suitable for doing this.

Thinking about it this way, the prince doesn't seem to be very suitable, if Lu Tianyang is Zhaohua's own son, Lu Lingfeng must be an impostor, and it can't be said that the county lord of Zhaohua will leave one and throw one away...... Lu Lingfeng is the son-in-law of the crown prince, and he is the opposite of Lu Tianyang.

Emperor Shenwu secretly calculated the gains and losses, and Lu Tianyang, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard that Emperor Shenwu didn't wake up for a long time, but he didn't dare to raise his head, and silently thought about whether he had leaked his feet.

"Get up."

"Thank you."

Lu Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and stood aside, the emperor's gaze became more and more warm and peaceful...... Lu Tianyang's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, what is the situation?

Because King Qi refused to pass his stepson and refused to have a biological son, Emperor Shenwu has always been very strict with him, even if he is reused, he is a little vigilant, but now Emperor Shenwu looks at him like a very close nephew, and he is not polite to say that Emperor Shenwu is not so kind and close to his own grandson.

"Sit, sit." Emperor Shenwu pointed to the position opposite him, "Sit down and say." ”

“…… The minister didn't dare. ”

Emperor Shenwu smiled and grabbed Lu Tianyang's slightly stiff arm, "I asked you to sit down, what are you afraid of?" ”

Lu Tianyang can't raise it, so he carefully put his ass on Kang Yan'er, so it's better to stand comfortably.

"I just discovered today that King Lu Yan, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, is very interesting." Emperor Shenwu was obviously pleased by Lu Tianyang, "It turns out that King Lu Yan is still afraid." ”

Lu Tianyang was like sitting on pins and needles, but he wanted to get up but was pressed by Emperor Shenwu, his handsome face was embarrassed, "The minister's fierce name does not dare to spare His Majesty." ”

"You have borne the name of murder for me, if I care about your name as the king of Hades, I will not have you to be at ease and promoted to a knighthood."

"Your Majesty is compassionate."

Lu Tianyang made a look of gratitude, but his head hit Emperor Shenwu for a moment, and he looked up blankly, "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Shenwu was half displeased and half helpless, "You are different from those courtiers in the main hall, not to mention your relationship with the imperial sister, from the fourth elder, you shouldn't hide it from me." ”

Lu Tianyang lowered his head and slowly clenched his fists, who has anything to do with the eldest princess? Ah Jiu was killed by the lord of Zhaohua County, and Ah Jiu's blood connection with the eldest princess had long been forgotten by Lu Tianyang, "The minister does not dare to lose his honor in front of His Majesty." ”

He guessed a little bit of Emperor Shenwu's arrangement, those grandmother's words, Ah Jiu's sudden miscarriage, and the truth of the bandits back then...... These are all likely to prove one thing, one thing he will not believe. Something that will never be admitted.

Emperor Shenwu's smile did not change, there were too few faceless and skinless people like King Qi, and Lu Tianyang was more respectful at this time. The more he can rest assured, it is a good thing to have the duty of a monarch and a minister.

Grace indulges Lu Tian's cultivation slowly, and if he can't be in a hurry, Emperor Shenwu doesn't believe that he can't spoil Lu Tianyang!

"I told you to hurry over, you haven't eaten yet."

"I'm not hungry."

Lu Tianyang has never been able to show his closeness like a nephew in front of Emperor Shenwu, although he knows in his heart that there are many benefits of being close to Emperor Shenwu, but his stiff movements are awkward.

Emperor Shenwu smiled instead. King Qi didn't pay much attention, and the righteous son who was raised blinked his eyes quite well, and said to Ma Gonggong who was accompanying him: "Do you look like it?" ”

"......" Ma Gonggong sweated. Hum haha reluctantly coped with it, "Slave maid go to see the food?" ”

If the emperor asks a few more words, Grandpa Ma doesn't know how to deal with it.

Lu Tianyang could only show a blank look that he didn't understand, as if it was like a spell, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Can a sentence like his previous suffering be erased?

He was a ruthless man. There are very few people or things that can make you scruples.

Emperor Shenwu nodded and said, "I happen to be hungry too, so Tianyang will accompany me to use some." ”

"Yes." Lu Tianyang slowly stretched out his clenched fist.

Ma Gonggong led the little waiter to be busy like a butterfly collecting honey, and after a while, the table was full of plates, and the hot and cold meat dishes were both beautiful and appetizing.

Emperor Shenwu likes to eat, and the imperial dining room gathers famous chefs from all over the world, and the dishes made of rare and exotic beasts taste excellent.

Emperor Shenwu picked up his chopsticks. "Tianyang doesn't have to be restrained, learn from the king of Qi. Come yourself. ”

Then, Emperor Shenwu used the dishes on the plate, and the corner of his eyes kept looking at Lu Tianyang, seeing that he used Sichuan food in a restrained manner, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and motioned to Ma Gonggong to move Sichuan vegetables to a place where Lu Tianyang could easily raise them.

Ma Gonggong secretly admired Lu Tianyang in his heart, could it really be the power of bloodline?

Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spiciness, but it is not liked by the nobles who have a light taste in the imperial capital, and only old people from reckless backgrounds such as Emperor Shenwu will use some.

I'm afraid that no one would have thought that Mu Wangye, who is as elegant as the bright moon, loves Sichuan cuisine more than the well-known light dishes.

Lu Tianyang explained embarrassedly, "The minister is at the border with his father-in-law, and he is used to spicy, and Sichuan cuisine is particularly delicious." ”

He was very happy, and he liked it very much, and after a while, the plate was more than half empty, Lu Tianyang's tongue was numb, and his forehead was densely covered with a layer of sweat.

Emperor Shenwu put down his chopsticks, "Serve tea to Yu Hou, and see that his spicy face is full of sweat." ”

"Thank you." Lu Tianyang held his stiff and numb tongue, staring at the remaining Sichuan dishes with some unfinished interest, "The minister's inner son doesn't like spicy food very much. ”

The implication is that he hasn't been so happy for a long time, Ah Jiu, who is related to Mu Wangye, doesn't like it, and he is not like Mu Wangye at all.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Shenwu laughed, "Accommodating your wife, you are not more reckless than your brother-in-law." ”

“……”

"There's a secret, I didn't tell anyone." Emperor Shenwu beckoned to Lu Tianyang, with banter and expectation in his eyes, "Brother-in-law likes Sichuan cuisine the most." ”

Lu Tianyang's body was stiffer than a rock, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to climb the prince high." ”

Emperor Shenwu squeezed Lu Tianyang's shoulder soothingly, and said meaningfully: "I didn't think much about it before, the world is so big, I can always find two similar people, I remember that my brother-in-law just went to that formation, and there were always courtiers who looked like brothers-in-law in front of me." During the palace examination, the color of the clothes that my brother-in-law liked, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were more like suits, and everyone had a set. ”

"At that time, I was furious and scolded them so much that I killed this crooked trend."

Emperor Shenwu's eyes were a little more sentimental, "Prince Mu's elegance is peerless, which makes my heart broken, and I also regret his untimely death, but am I the one looking for a replacement?" ”

Lu Tianyang was a little touched by Emperor Shenwu's true feelings for Prince Mu, but if Prince Mu had been alive, he was afraid that the result would not be better, and it was precisely because Prince Mu died when they trusted each other and the monarch and ministers got along, that Emperor Shenwu would always think about the loyal Lord Mu.

"And they don't learn like that."

Emperor Shenwu complained, "The shape is similar but the god is not similar, which makes me happy." ”

This is the main reason why Emperor Shenwu is furious.

"Zhaohua just said to me that he didn't believe the truth found out by Ah Jiu, and believed in Lu Jiang, the Duke of Chengguo. Although the imperial sister is shrewd, she has become more and more paranoid in recent years, not to mention that you and Ah Jiu often don't give her face, and the grievances are deep, she may not fully believe Zhaohua, and she may not believe Ah Jiu. ”

"The minister didn't know that Ah Jiu would track down the truth about the bandits back then." Lu Tianyang regained his coldness in the past, "Just based on the confession, if Cheng Guogong flatly denies it, it is indeed not enough to win the letter of the eldest princess and others, after all, the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Cheng Guogong to the county lord of Zhaohua over the years is known all over the court, and their deep relationship between husband and wife is world-famous." ”

In the end, it was inevitable to show mockery, "There were not many people who were lucky enough to survive back then, Ah Jiu could find witnesses, and Cheng Guogong could." The county lord of Zhaohua's feelings for Ah Jiu alone is not enough to make the county lord believe it. ”

"When you mention Zhaohua, you are like a fried cat, and there are so many words that you can't finish."

Emperor Shenwu shook his head amusedly, and talked eloquently and mocked Lu Tianyang, who was only restrained in the same way, it was like two people.

"Zhaohua and Huangmei don't believe Ah Jiu, I believe, since I believe the testimony provided by Ah Jiu, I have been thinking about it, why did Lu Jiang do this? Or why did the Lu family do this at the risk of being killed by bandits. The bandits are not fake, they are indeed a group of outlaws who hate the Lu family. ”

Emperor Shenwu stared at Lu Tianyang, "There has to be a reason for everything, even if the old lady of the Lu family is hot-headed for a while, Lu Jiang is very calm and careful, and until now I haven't caught his handle." It's not that I can't kill him, first, I'm afraid that Zhaohua will be sad, which will make it difficult for the imperial sister, and second, I want to see what he wants to do. ”

He can find a reason to kill Lu Jiangmanmen, but killing Lu Jiang will have too bad an impact, Lu Jiang's relationship with the prince is too deep, Emperor Shenwu is unwilling to face the turmoil of the old country, and he does not have the mental strength to calm the turmoil when he was young, so he can only slowly cut off Lu Jiang, so that the prince will be lost.

Moreover, Lu Jiang still has a lot of secrets on his body.

Emperor Shenwu waved his hand to let Lu Tianyang listen to himself, "Come and think about it, depending on your hatred for Zhaohua, only one original explanation can be explained." ”

"The minister doesn't think that's the reason, the minister doesn't have any feelings for the county lord of Zhaohua."

Lu Tianyang took a step back, avoiding Emperor Shenwu's care, "There are other reasons, Xu is Lu Jiang suddenly regretted it, Zhaohua County Master has good kung fu, and he can naturally resist bandits." ”

Emperor Shenwu's eyes were full of relief, this awkward and hard-mouthed appearance is not like a brother-in-law, it is the same as the fourth child, who is really raised like whom. "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asks to see you."

"I thought she should have come, too."

Emperor Shenwu was not surprised, "Marquis Yu, you go first." ”

"Yes."

After Lu Tianyang saluted solemnly, he turned around and left the compartment, looked up to see the eldest princess, and arched his hand: "Your Highness." ”

The eldest princess stared at Lu Tianyang for a long time with good eyes, snorted coldly, brushed her sleeves and walked towards the compartment, Lu Tianyang hooked the corners of her mouth, so it was good...... The eldest princess knew what happened to An Guogong, and she would definitely hate herself even more.

At that time, the emperor will not be able to resolve the grievances between the two parties with the mud.

Lu Tianyang exerted force under his feet, and a crack cracked in the floor tiles outside the palace, and he raised his head to look at the sky, "Joke, how can I be her son?!" (To be continued......)
