Chapter 24: The Son of Heaven

Imperial Palace, Yucheng Palace.

This is Emperor Shang Rui's favorite place to come, and he has not been in the court for several months.

Here, after he became the emperor, he spent countless gold and silver to build it, and it was extremely luxurious.

At this moment, Shang Rui was lying on the edge of the pool, his head resting on the lap of a charming woman, and two beauties on each side were serving.

The pond is made of jade and filled with fine wine, during which the group of women chase and play, and the laughter and laughter like silver bells are endless.

The beauty on his left is feeding him fruit with Qianqian's fingers, while the beauty on his right is holding a glass of wine and saying coquettishly: "Your Majesty, drink another glass......

"Yes, yes, yes, let's have another drink."

When Shang Rui was enjoying himself, the little eunuch outside the hall walked in boldly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Dong Cheng asks to see you." ”

When Shang Rui heard this, he immediately showed an impatient look: "No see, no see, this old guy, annoying to death." ”

"But this." The eunuch swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "The prime minister said that there is something important to report to Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty is gone, he will not leave." ”

Hearing this, Shang Rui couldn't help frowning, but Prime Minister Dong Hua was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and now after saying this, his brows were tightly locked, and he also said unhappily: "Let him come in." ”

"No." The eunuch answered, then turned and left.

Not long after, Dong Hua dressed in an official uniform and walked in quickly.

At that time, the official uniform was a bit like a Han official, very atmospheric, Dong Hua's age was also about sixty, after he came in, he first looked at the situation in the hall, and then frowned, just about to step forward, but at this moment, a woman chasing and frolicking accidentally happened to bump into Dong Hua.

The woman had a light gauze shawl, with a graceful posture, and after bumping into Dong Hua, she first snorted lightly, and then saw that it was the prime minister of the dynasty, and immediately turned into a coquettish smile, and hurriedly saluted: "Prime minister." ”

After the salute, she also chased and frolicked with others again.

This situation made Dong Hua very angry, he took two quick steps, came to Shang Rui, and said, "Your Majesty! Please also dismiss the idle people, etc., what the old minister wants to say is a major military matter. ”

"Prime Minister, what do you mean by that?" Shang Rui was immediately unhappy, and immediately said: "These beauties are all my beloved concubines, the prime minister has something to say, don't disturb my Yaxing if you have nothing to do." ”

"But this!" Dong Hua said hurriedly, but Shang Rui is the Son of Heaven, and he was helpless to say this, and after a pause, he could only report:

"Your Majesty, now, General Lu Bolin has regained the lost territory, repelled the ghost army, the war has stopped, the ghost clan has sent an envoy into our country, ready to negotiate peace, Your Majesty should meet with his envoy to explain the war peace."

"Oh? The ghost army retreated? Wouldn't that be great. Shang Rui first said, and then said: "This matter, the prime minister has full authority to deal with it, why do you need to ask me." ”

"But Your Majesty ......," Dong Hua said hurriedly.

"Huh?" It's just that before he finished his words, Shang Rui interrupted him without care: "When the first emperor left, he asked the prime minister to assist me in a good life, if I want to do everything myself, then what's the use of asking you ministers?" ”

"This ......" what he said made Dong Hua not know how to answer, and after struggling for a while, he said tentatively: "What the minister means, it is better to agree to the peace of the ghost clan, as for the post-war compensation and other matters......"

"Okay, okay, just do what the prime minister says, is there anything else, if you have nothing to do, the prime minister will retreat." Shang Rui interrupted him again, and at this time, the beauty next to him also began to hold a piece of fruit, fed it to Shang Rui's mouth, and called enchantingly: "Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm......" Shang Rui opened his mouth, and after eating the fruit, he saw that Dong Hua was still standing there, which was very eye-catching, and he couldn't help frowning and said, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Dong Hua couldn't hold back any longer, and Zhengse said: "You are the Son of Heaven, ruling over all the people, the king of the world, you should be diligent in state affairs, how can you indulge in wine, laughing with the maids here all day long, this, what kind of system." ”

Hearing this, Shang Rui's expression turned cold, and he immediately said unhappily: "Is the prime minister counting me?" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare, it's just that Your Majesty's move is really a loss of the prestige of the Son of Heaven." Dong Hua hurriedly bent down and said.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Shang Rui first snorted coldly, then became angry, then pushed away the beauties on the left and right, got up and pointed at Dong Hua, and shouted angrily:

"How can this be true? I am the Son of Heaven! If you can't be poor in the happiness of body and mind, what is the world! ”

He is the emperor, the shock shouted angrily, Dong Hua was also startled, and quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is angry......"

On the side of the empire, the peace of the ghost clan was accepted, and then, the imperial court decree also arrived at the front line, that is, to order Lu Bolin's class to return to the court.

This is also the result that Lu Bolin is most willing to see, and after receiving the holy decree, he also immediately began to return to his teacher.

The army was preparing for the division, and all the generals also gathered to prepare for a celebration banquet, but after learning that Lu Bolin did not intercept the 80,000 ghost army, but allowed it to retreat easily, Xiao Yuan was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

He didn't think that Lu Bolin was a person without any talent, he could only say that he didn't understand Lu Bolin's mind at all.

He didn't understand, so Peng Shuang couldn't help it, and immediately found Lu Bolin and prepared to reason with him.

Right now, in the hall, Lu Bolin is in the handsome case, writing something, he is in a good mood, because this war has been won, he not only keeps his family, but after returning to the capital, he will get a great reward.

After he put down his pen, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang, who were standing below, and asked out loud, "Something?" ”

"Lu Shuai." Xiao Yuan hugged his fists and took the lead in speaking: "Our department burned the enemy's grain and grass, 80,000 ghost troops, and was forced to retreat. ”

As soon as his words fell, Peng Shuang followed closely and said, "That's right! The soldiers of our department, fighting in Liucheng, the fighter plane that was finally exchanged, why did Lu Shuai act like this! ”

His tone was very excited, mixed with a sense of resentment, Lu Bolin was also annoyed and angry on the spot after hearing it, and while slapping the handsome case, he also shouted coldly: "Presumptuous! Are you two questioning Ben Shuai!? ”

After drinking hard, he also followed up and reprimanded: "A little commander dares to make a big deal here!" Don't quit yet! ”

"But!" Peng Shuang said urgently.

But Xiao Yuan had already seen something, and while he was disappointed in his heart, he quietly pulled Peng Shuang, and then intervened and said, "Lu Shuai is angry, and the general will retire." ”

After speaking, he pulled Peng Shuang and left here.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lu Bolin couldn't help but snort coldly again.

At this time, the general Deng Qing stood up, this person is Lu Bolin's confidant, and he rose all the way up by virtue of his family relationship, at this time, after Xiao Yuan left, only he and Lu Bolin were left in the hall.

He first glanced at the backs of Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang, then faced Lu Bolin, and said, "Lu Shuai, two small infantry officers, dare to be so rude to Lu Shuai!" If it weren't for Lu Shuai's generosity, they would still have their lives! ”

"Huh?" Lu Bolin waved his hand and said: "These two people have some military exploits, and they are inevitably arrogant, and this commander is too lazy to worry about them. ”

"But Lu Shuai." Deng Qing said worriedly: "What happened just now, Xiao Yuan and the others, should be suspected of committing the following crimes, even if Lu Shuai is generous and does not blame them, then they may not appreciate it, I am afraid that there will be a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts." ”

As he spoke, he continued: "And Xiao Yuan and the others are all Chen Da's old department, not my Lu family's army, Lu Shuai should consider one or two." ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Lu Bolin sneered, pursed his lips and said, "Little officer, don't pay attention to what you do." ”

Lu Bolin, who is nearly fifty years old, was ordered to go out this time, and the troops he led were known as the Lu family army, and the situation in the court was complicated, he had many political enemies, and he needed to preserve his strength, which was why he was unwilling to face the ghost army.

And the reason why Deng Qing is so provocative is obviously jealous, you must know that after the victory of this war, all the generals will inevitably be rewarded, Deng Qing is worried that his military achievements are not enough.

On the other side, after leaving the hall, Peng Shuang still showed an angry look, and he said angrily:

"What Lu Shuai did is disagreeable! And at the celebration banquet, I never mentioned the merits of my department! There is also Liu County's order, he tried his best to assist our department and defend Liucheng, how could it be useless! But Lu Shuai didn't say a word! ”

"So what?" Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly.

"I'm not worth it for the soldiers! It's not worth it for Liu County! Peng Shuang said loudly.

"Alright." Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "It's useless to talk this nonsense, after this incident, you and I will have a worrying future." ”
