Chapter 25 Ulterior motives
Quietly, if his hand was clasped by Lu Zuo and couldn't move, he lowered his head and didn't speak, with a look of recognition, Lu Zuo hurriedly let go and apologized.
The onlookers applauded one after another, but An Shilu stepped forward indignantly, and while supporting his sister, he accused Lu Zuo of not being the one.
Jing Ruo pouted and looked at Lu Zuo, angry, ashamed and ashamed, thinking that he had never suffered such a loss. So he turned his head angrily and left, and when he just turned around, he didn't pay attention to the landing platform behind him, and almost collided. Even this falling platform was angry with himself, and he was so angry that he pushed down the platform with his hand, and in an instant, the weapon on the shelf fell to the ground, leaving only the quiet and indignant back to go away.
Lu Zuo looked at Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan embarrassedly, and bowed down to show that he was really sorry.
An Yuanshan is an enlightened person, "Mr. Lu smiled, if Jingruo is spoiled by me, don't be like her." She is not a small family who is angry, I am afraid that she will lose in front of so many people, and she will be a little unhappy, and she will be fine for a while! ”
"No!" Lu Zuo smiled, "It's 'Tiger Father No Dog Girl', Lord Qiongqian really has good skills, there are few women like this in the world." ”
After hearing this, An Shilu muttered in a low voice on the side, "Then you don't deserve it." ”
Although An Shilu spoke quietly, everyone was close, so everyone heard it. Lu Zuo, who is usually expressionless, turned red to his neck in an instant at this moment.
"Shiqing, take Shilu down, there are important things to discuss with Mr. Lu for my father. After a while, when we were eating, someone sent to call us. An Yuanshan glared at An Shilu, and ordered An Shiqing to take his younger brother down quickly.
Not long after An Shiqing's brothers left, the next person came to send a post, saying that Liu Xu, the king of Wei, wanted to see him. An Yuanshan and Lu Zuo looked at each other, and hurriedly ordered the people to go to the hall to make an appointment.
Liu Xu, the king of Wei, saw An Yuanshan waiting for him in the hall, and hurriedly saluted each other. Liu Xu saw that there were also three people standing in front of the guest table on the left, the first was a pale scholar, the second was also a scholar with a beautiful face, and finally stood a dark-skinned adult man, thinking that he could be personally entertained by the master here in Pingyuan Bofu, and he must also be a distinguished guest. Liu Xu also gave a salute to the three people at the guest table, and Lu Zuo and others also returned the greetings respectfully.
"Lord Wang, let me introduce you to these three." An Yuanshan walked to the front of the guest seat, and first pointed to Yin Ji and introduced him from behind, "This little knight's name is Yin Ji, and it can be said that he is good at martial arts." This is Lu Renxiang, the first place in this year's Shanzhou Township Examination. ”
When An Yuanshan introduced Lu Zuo, he deliberately raised his voice and introduced with a smile: "This is the famous Lu Gongfu, Mr. Lu!" ”
Liu Xu was still a little stunned when he heard it, and the name Lu Gongfu seemed to be a little familiar.
"The grass people's surname is Lu Mingzuo, and the word Gongfu is Gongfu." Lu Zuo arched his hand and said.
"Oh! Lu Zuo, who everyone is talking about, turns out to be you! King Wei realized, and then looked him up and down, "Hmm...... It's really extraordinary! ”
"The prince praised it falsely!"
Liu Xu came to visit the Earl's Mansion this time, originally wanted to be in power now, to see what kind of attitude Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan had towards him, and now there was a prince in the middle, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he didn't want to leave now, so he asked Lu Zuo embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu is also a guest of Pingyuan Bo now!" ”
An Yuanshan didn't speak, and Lu Zuowaner smiled and said, "Isn't the prince also a guest of Uncle Pingyuan?" ”
Liu Xu didn't react for a while, looked at Lu Zuo in a daze, and thought about the purpose of his words, "This king was about to go back to the mansion just when he passed by the Earl's Palace, and he stopped by to see Amber, and now he is going to return to the mansion early." Guys, I think I'd better leave it at that! ”
"The Earl's Mansion is far from the Wei Palace, how can you choose to pass by this side by the detour?" Lu Zuo originally wanted to go slowly, but he didn't expect King Wei to want to leave now, so he said this bluntly.
"This king ......" Liu Xu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to say it.
"Lord Wang, this is not like the Lord who wants to show his strength in Changke!" Lu Zuo said with a fatal blow.
In an instant, Liu Xu was even more confused, so he looked at Lu Zuo and An Yuanshan.
An Yuanshan saw that the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone was standing again, so he comforted everyone to sit down and talk, and after everyone sat down, only King Wei looked thoughtful, and when he slowly sat down on the guest seat on the right, he almost sat on the ground.
After King Wei sat back in his seat, he straightened his clothes and calmed down, and said in response to the question: "Mr. Lu, how have you been in the Prince's Mansion recently?" ”
Lu Zuo also knew the intention of King Wei to ask this, so he said an answer that he desperately wanted, "The grass people are just rural villagers, where can they adapt to the prince's mansion, so the grass people moved out of the prince's mansion." ”
Liu Xu, the king of Wei, was stunned at first, and then secretly rejoiced in his heart, but he still wanted to ask clearly, "But isn't the mansion you live in now still rewarded by the crown prince to the queen?" ”
"Our trip is just me and my brother, as well as my apprentice Yin Ji, where did we live in such a big mansion, so today I want to pack my bags, move out of the big mansion, and still live back at the inn."
After Lu Zuo finished speaking, Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji looked at Lu Zuo with questioning eyes.
"The prince is so attentive to Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid that the prince will be angry!" King Wei asked with a smug expression.
"I'm a scholar, how can the prince take me in his eyes! If he wants to put it in his eyes, it should be a family like Weiguo Gong Xun Yu and them. ”
Liu Xu, the king of Wei, listened to Lu Zuo's words, no matter how stupid he was, he could hear Lu Zuo's words, "Otherwise, this king is a person who loves talents." According to this king, Mr. Lu is no worse than Xun Mou. ”
At this time, An Yuanshan also interjected: "The prince has become the main examiner of the Changke this time, I don't know how he is prepared?" ”
Liu Xu smiled, "Since the emperor elected this king as the main exam, this king's mansion can be described as a good city. ”
"In the past, the main exams were all bachelors from Jinshi, and the officials above the deputy capital envoy were assigned by Shangshu, but this year it was served by you, King Wei, which is really incredible?" An Yuanshan asked.
Liu Xu hesitated: "Who said it wasn't?" But since my father is willing to entrust this burden to this king, this king will also fulfill his mission! ”
After Liu Xu, the king of Wei, finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole hall condensed again, so Liu Xu then asked: "The lord has been an official in the court for many years, and he knows more about my father than this king, I don't know if you can give me some advice?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the lower official just wants to warn the prince in one sentence!" An Yuanshan said lightly.
Liu Xu frowned and listened carefully.
"Handle it impartially!"
After Liu Xu heard this, he was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
"The lower official has served the saint for decades, and his understanding of his old man can be said to be better than that of you princes and princes. Half of the reason why he chose you, King of Wei, is because you are different from the crown prince and King Ning. Half of the reason is that he doesn't want anyone to cross him and win over the world. Although An Yuanshan doesn't care much about these things, with his understanding of Emperor Han in his heart, he actually knows a thing or two about the current situation.
Liu Xu looked at An Yuanshan and asked, "Amber, are you giving advice?" Or is it a testimonial? ”
Pingyuan Bo'an Yuanshan smiled, "Well...... What do you say, Lord Wang? ”
"If it is advice, the king will let it go! If it is a dedication, this king will take it as a guide. ”
