Chapter 4 The Rising Waves

Palace

The palace has always given people a sense of majesty, and the ministers of the early dynasty did not stay in the palace too much.

Luo Fengji had just walked out of the Jinluan Hall and was about to return home, but he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"General Luo, please stay, Your Majesty summons, please General Luo move to the imperial study." Chief Manager Li, who was serving by Emperor Chen's side, walked out quickly, and his sharp voice was particularly clear at this time.

The other ministers did not go far, and the ministers who were traveling together in pairs whispered not far away, speculating about Emperor Chen's intention to summon General Luo.

Because the Locke family has a large amount of military power, although Emperor Chen has great respect for the Locke family on the surface, he has always been jealous in private. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Emperor Chen rarely summons the Luo family. Now this move, something must have happened.

But the ministers don't care so much, it is more important to protect their lives, as long as they don't involve their own interests, they don't know anything.

……

Inside the Imperial Study.

Emperor Chen was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his long black hair was tied up, he was wearing a crown on his head, tied with a bright yellow crown rope, the middle end of the crown was inlaid with precious stones, and the thin bead chain tassels hung down on both sides, standing with his back to everyone, he held a letter in his hand, frowning slightly.

Behind him, in addition to Luo Fengji, the general who was summoned, there was also Prime Minister Zhao Er. But the two of them have always been not speculative, after all, they are one article and one martial arts.

"Do you know what I called you here?"

He turned around, looked at the two ministers below, and sighed.

"In recent years, the national strength of Qi has become stronger and stronger, and Shan Yuguo in the northwest has also made some movements, according to spy sources, Shan Yuguo intends to marry Qi Guo. Although since the formation of the three-country situation, it is normal for countries to maintain peace by marriage. But...... In recent years, the frontier cities of Chenguo have often been harassed and provoked by people from other countries, and there have even been local turmoil. ”

Emperor Chen pondered for a while and looked at the minister.

"What do you think the two Aiqing should do now?"

Zhao Er glanced at Emperor Chen, Emperor Chen's appearance looked gentle and elegant, but the inadvertent light in his eyes was not to be underestimated, and then he lowered his head and replied.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can't let it go any longer. Whatever the purpose of their marriage, we must first calm down the turmoil on the frontier. We must not let other countries perceive our country as cowardly. ”

Emperor Chen nodded and looked at Zhao Er with appreciation, "Aiqing is reasonable. ”

How could there be turmoil in the border area, and why did his subordinates not report it, there must be something strange about this matter.

Luo Fengji frowned and spoke slowly.

The minister believes that what Prime Minister Zhao Cheng mentioned is inappropriate. The border areas are already the border areas of the country, and because of the trade between the people of the two countries, it is normal for some conflicts to occur, and there is no need to use the army on a large scale. ”

Zhao Er snorted lightly and glanced at Luo Fengji, "Then General Luo's intention is to let it go?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister just thinks that it hasn't reached that level yet......"

Chen Huang saw that they had a tendency to quarrel, and hurriedly stopped it.

"That's enough." Chen Huang had a headache and put his hand on his forehead. "I know what you mean, and I'll think about it. Forget it, let's go back first. ”

Emperor Chen watched them retreat, the helpless expression on his face slowly disappeared, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he carelessly approached the letter in his hand to the candle, watching it burn little by little.

It's time to get rid of it.

Here, Zhao Er and Luo Fengji went out of the imperial study together, Luo Fengji was in front and Zhao Er was behind.

At that moment, the heat in the air was a little irritating. Luo Fengji seemed to be in a hurry, and walked faster, Zhao Er looked at his burly back, and muttered to himself.

"Luo Fengji, do you know that the tree is very popular."

……

Locke

At this moment, it was the end of the day, the moon and stars were scarce, and a layer of silver light was spread on the ground. The house is quiet, and the occasional cricket can be heard from the grass.

In the lake pavilion, Luo Fengji stood alone by the railing of the pavilion. Soon, a man in black appeared.

"Master, I have checked, and there is indeed turmoil in the frontier, the cause of which is that a soldier of the border guard of the good country was found dead in the area under our jurisdiction, and it happened to be today, but it seems to have deliberately provoked the incident."

"Okay, stand down."

All today? Things are too strange.

"Luo Jue, come here."

Luo Jue happened to go back from the practice room, passing by the Lake Pavilion, and happened to see his father with a man in black. Sure enough, my dad is still my dad.

"Dad, is there something wrong with you calling the child?" Luo Jue looked at his father's face cautiously.

"I can't call you if it's okay?" Luo Fengji looked at his eldest son, but he didn't notice it before, the child is now a seven-foot man.

"No, it's just that Dad never calls me when he's fine." There was a hint of grievance in his voice.

Luo Fengji was suddenly a little at a loss, but then thought of what his wife said. He sighed softly, afraid of it, we don't have time to wait for him to grow up.

"Jue'er, is Dad ...... I've been too strict with you. Dad just thinks that as the son of the Luo family, you will have greater responsibilities and heavier burdens in the future, so he is more strict with you. ”

"Dad, the child knows that you have high hopes for the child, and the child is also trying to do well, and wants to be the best in your heart. But why can't you see my efforts? You're hiding everything from me, Dad, I'm not a kid anymore, I can take care of it on my own. ”

For a moment, neither of them spoke again. The atmosphere gradually became a little solemn.

"Dad, it's not too early, you go back early to rest, the child will retire first."

This was the first time that Luo Jue complained to his father. It was also the first time that Luo Fengji realized that he might have done something wrong.

In the days that followed, neither father nor son ever looked for anyone again, nor did they say a word.

Until......

"The holy decree has arrived, because the country of Shanguo raided the duckweed city of my Chen country, the situation is urgent, please General Luo Fengji led a million soldiers and horses to go to duckweed city to repel the enemy army immediately, without delay." The little eunuch sharpened his voice and urged, "General Luo, quickly clean up and set off immediately!" ”

War means casualties, and countries have been living in harmony for so many years, and no one expected that war would come so suddenly.

Luo's mother was a little sad, so she silently helped her husband pack some clothes.

Luo Qi didn't speak, because she couldn't tell her father not to go. The meaning of the existence of the Locke family is to protect the health of the country.

Luo Yuan noticed that the atmosphere at home was a little weird, and he didn't dare to speak.

Just as Luo Fengji was about to set off, Luo Jue stopped in front of the horse.

"Daddy, the boy is going with you." There was determination in his eyes.

Father Luo looked at him for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Okay, let's go together."
