"My father deserves to exile me, I am not qualified to be the king of Jin, I am sorry for the people there!" Zhu's tears and snot flowed wantonly on his hot face.

"Third brother, my father sent you to Taiyuan, not because my father wanted to alienate you. The country is so big, my father sent our prince to various places in order to better rule the country and let the people everywhere live and work in peace and contentment. If you govern Shanxi well, it will be the greatest contribution to the Daming Society, and it will also reduce the burden of your father. ”

"I see, big brother, I have lived up to my father's expectations. If I have the opportunity to come back from Yunnan, I will definitely be a new person and benefit the people. ”

Zhu Biao's worried face showed a hint of a smile.

"Third brother, if you are given another chance, you will do a good job as this Jin King, right?"

Zhu was dumbfounded, and slowly raised his eyes, which had been hanging down because of guilt.

Zhu Biao's blurred face looked at him with a smile.

He quickly wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.

"Can I still be the king of Jin?" Zhu's voice trembled slightly.

Zhu Biao nodded.

"But...... But the father's decision has never been changed by anyone, except for the queen mother. He continued to confirm.

"Well," Zhu Biao patted him on the shoulder, "I beg my father to give you another chance to be the king of Jin." I promised him that you would definitely do a good job as the king of Jin, and if you make another mistake, you will be punished with me. ”

"Big brother!" Zhu bent his knees and knelt in front of Zhu Biao and wept bitterly: "If I do it again, I will apologize to myself!" ”

"Get up, get up!" Zhu Biao held Zhu Yi's arms, "You must carefully follow the teachings of your father, and think of the people in everything, you will not make any mistakes." ”

"Yes, big brother."

"One more thing."

Zhu looked at Zhu Biao intently, and if the eldest brother made any request, he would agree.

"Hehe, the third brother is a first-class craftsman, but do you want to show your skills in front of those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry?"

"Big brother, I can ...... in the palace" Zhu couldn't believe his ears.

His father always felt that he liked to build because he didn't learn anything, and never praised the Jin Palace, which he was proud of, in front of him.

"Well," Zhu Biao said with a smile, "you also know that our palace city was built by filling in Yanque Lake. Although many wooden piles and boulders were buried under the lake to prevent collapse, there has been a situation of high in the south and low in the north for more than ten years. The back court was disturbed by the waterlogging and had many complaints. My father wanted to renovate it, so I took this errand for you. Can the third brother be competent, so that my face as a big brother will also be stained? ”

"Yes, yes, big brother, I, I must solve the waterlogging!" Zhu was incoherent, never daring to expect that a round of red sun would rise in his dark world, and the brilliant brilliance seemed to be Penglai fantasy.

"Big brother, this, is this true? My father asked me to renovate the foundations of Miyagi? ”

"Well, my father is actually proud of your craftsmanship, but he is afraid that you will delay the governance of the country, so he never praises you to your face. He's mentioned it to me a few times. ”

"Father! Erchen is wrong to blame you! Zhu was heartbroken, why couldn't he see the care and love behind him?

"The father also plans to build another wall outside the palace and build a large imperial city. If you handle the problem of the landfill of Yanque Lake well this time, you can also participate in the construction of the imperial city in the future without affecting the government. ”

"Big brother, you help me so much, I'...... I hate myself for doing those bastard things! Zhu raised his hand to make matters worse on his face where the five finger marks had not yet faded.

Zhu Biao grabbed his hand, his eyes were firm: "Third brother, be a good man!" ”

He believed in Zhu and also believed in the weight of brotherhood.

Lu Zhongqian, the house slave of the Li Mansion, walked out of the Li Mansion uneasily and walked towards the Shengchun Hall.

In the past few days, Li Shan has had a cold, and the doctor has prescribed a prescription after reading it, and the housekeeper told him to hurry up and grab the medicine and come back.

He turned around in three steps, always worried that a hand would suddenly reach out from behind his back and grab his neck.

Since the last time Lu Zhongqian heard Hu Weiyong persuade Li Shanchang to rebel at the door of Li Shanchang's study, he always felt that his chest was dull and unbearable.

He has always been timid as a mouse, and he can't hold big things in his heart. He concluded that such a great secret would bring him death.

He didn't dare to go out alone during the day, and he didn't dare to go to the thatched house at night to relieve himself. Whether it was broad daylight or a black light, there was always a cool wind blowing behind his neck.

His head is not worth much to others, but it is a priceless treasure to himself. He cannot be fearless, and he will never do anything that asks for his life.

Along the way, Lu Zhongqian muttered and prayed to the Bodhisattva for his blessings, intermittently cursing the housekeeper who asked him to come out to buy medicine and the domestic servants who refused to accompany him.

Even after his mind was filled, fear still prevailed.

The road to the pharmacy is sparsely populated and shops are sporadically opened.

Several times when he looked back, he vaguely saw a figure flashing by. He had a strong premonition that today was the Day of Final Judgment.

Lu Zhongqian quickened his pace, and the pharmacy was close at hand. His clenched teeth and clenched fists relaxed slightly.

Stepping into the pharmacy, it was empty. His heart rose to his throat again.

The whole world was against him, and they knew that he was scared and deliberately hiding.

"Anyone?" He knocked the counter, and the thumping sound emboldened him.

No one responded.

"Anyone?" He called again eagerly. Still no one responded. He shouted a dozen words in a row, refusing to let his surroundings be quiet.

A fellow came out from behind the curtain and wiped his wet hands with an apron with an apologetic look on his face.

"Guest, what medicine do you want to buy? I'm sorry, but today my boss went to the field to buy medicinal herbs, and the two guys went back to their hometown to visit relatives. I'm just busy alone, I didn't hear it just now, I'm really sorry! ”

Lu Zhongqian breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the medicine list in his hand to the guy: "Press this to grab the medicine, grab three pairs." ”

The man was quick with his hands and feet, and he quickly prepared the medicine.

When Lu Zhongqian stepped out of the threshold of the pharmacy, he took a deep breath and cheered himself up.

There are good reasons not to be afraid.

First of all, the way back is the same road as the way out, and there is no danger on the road, he has verified it.

Second, he can't be so scared in his future life, even if he is not killed by others, he will be scared to death by himself. He wants to go out alone today as an opportunity to trample his fear under his feet and regain his old comfortable life.

Under this powerful psychological cue, his steps became brisk, and he turned a corner to reach the Li Mansion.

Lu Zhongqian is very excited, this bend is the bend of his life, and after turning around, he will definitely be the same as before.

Who of those domestic servants, including the housekeeper, has experienced this pain and helplessness?

He has been bullied by others since he was a child, because he is timid and cowardly, who will dare not take him in his eyes in the future?

He held his breath and prepared to step through the darkness and meet the dawn.

A hand came out of nowhere when it shouldn't have been, and easily grabbed the clothes on Lu Zhongqian's back.

Lu Zhongqian's self-confidence, which had been carefully brewed, poured out like the water that burst the embankment.

His nightmare finally comes true, someone is going to kill him! Because he knows the secrets of the Li Mansion!

"I don't know anything, don't kill me! Don't kill me! Lu Zhongqian closed his eyes tightly, the visible darkness was more eerie than the invisible darkness.

"Shut up! Shout me again and I'll kill you! A cold woman's voice came from behind his ear, "I ask you something, and you answer." ”

Lu Zhongqian held his breath, and his hands dancing wildly in the air returned to their original positions because they had no effect.

"Hu Weiyong has come to the Li Mansion many times, right?" The woman in the back asked.

Lu Zhongqian nodded without hesitation, this is not a secret, it is not a betrayal.

"What did he say to Li Shanchang?" The woman continued.

"I don't know." Lu Zhongqian thought for a while before answering, his unlost conscience urged him to defend his master, and he planned to pretend to be stupid and stunned to see if he could get through the trick.

"Say!" The woman gave him a hard push on the back.

Lu Zhongqian staggered forward, his insignificant persistence unexpectedly tenacious.

"I really don't know what my master said. How could I possibly know? I'm just a subordinate, and they will kick them out when they talk. ”

He denied it, and his resolute tone became more and more convincing, but the woman did not fall for him.

A cold thing rested on Lu Zhongqian's neck, and a cold smile like this thing pierced his ears: "You're not afraid of death?" ”

"I'm afraid!" Lu Zhongqian replied without hesitation, and the fear that had been in place for some time opened his arms again and trapped him tightly.

One drop of blood landed on the clothes on his chest, and another slipped from his neck into the clothes and down his back.

"I said......" Lu Zhongqian almost cried.

"Say!"

"Hu Weiyong wants the master to rebel with him!" Lu Zhongqian's eyes were wide open, his muscles were pounding, desperate, he didn't want anything but his life.

"What did your lord say?" The woman's tone was triumphant, and the prey no longer struggled to make her ambitious.

"He said he couldn't handle it."

"Excellent! This pill is for you. The woman removed the knife from Lu Zhongqian's neck, let go of the hand that was gripping his clothes, and shoved a pill into his mouth, pinching his jaw until the pill slid into his esophagus.

The woman was quite satisfied with her skillful and fluent technique, so her tone became cheerful: "You tell the emperor everything you just said!" ”

"Emperor, Emperor?" Before Lu Zhongqian could imagine the scene of the face saint, his legs weakened and he knelt on the ground just by hearing the word "emperor".

"Why, you don't want to go?".

"I ......," Lu Zhongqian swallowed, "I may have misheard." ”

"Did you hear something wrong?" The woman asked.

"What Hu Weiyong said to my master."

Lu Zhongqian felt that every word he spit out would turn into a sharp knife and stab at him at any time.
