Chapter 6: A Shocking Gift

The major events that happened in the palace did not seem to have much impact on the existing court, and half a decade was fleeting, and no major events happened during this period, even the big drama that happened daily in the early dynasty, the prime minister's faction and the old lady Yang Liangru's faction, since Yang Liangru was dismissed by Zhao Wu, he has been idle at home.

On weekdays, it is uncomfortable to look at the Confucian Legalist classics, although the things that live in the court can be known, which also forms a scenery of the capital, every time you go to the morning court, you can see many officials enter the old lady's mansion, at the beginning there are more, and over time there are fewer and fewer, knowing that after the fourth prince Zhao Hao is imprisoned, it is rare to see this scene.

Yang Liangru deliberately asked the craftsmen in the palace to create a plaque, with eight big characters on it: "The hurricane has passed the post, and the grass is the only one that remains." Since then, the door has been closed, and the officials who came here have also left after seeing the plaque.

Today is the son of Prime Minister Lu Yu and the crown ceremony, as early as a few days ago Lu Yu ran a trip to Longhu Mountain, this Longhu Mountain occupies a good position, a prominent poet of Zhao State is also a disciple of Yang Liangru, today Huangmenlang has a poem praise: "Longhu mountains and rivers are royal air, distant Emperor Que Wuyun Hong." ”

Lu Yu deliberately went to Longhu Mountain to find an old Taoist priest who had been cultivating for many years, and asked the old Taoist priest to give Lu Ji a table word.

"Son, look at what they sent, a six-grade official can also send this?" Lu Yu looked at the small jade bracelet in his hand and said with a smile, "This is even better than mine." ”

"Whatever, take it all, what they want is just shelter, a word from their father can make them earn you to the death, and in the future, I will boast to others that the prime minister invited me to participate in my son's crown ceremony, how magnificent you are!"

"But really? Haha, they didn't even enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. A small six-rank official also wants to enter the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion? A dog raised by our Prime Minister's Mansion has a higher status than theirs! ”

"Son, now it's time for a person's salute." Lu Yu casually threw away the jade bracelet and said.

"Who? I have received everything that should not be collected, Dad, you won't expect Yang Liangru to come over to give gifts, and we don't dare to accept what he sent. Lu Ji found a spare place and sat down.

"Your Majesty."

"He? Will he? I'm not afraid that he won't send it, I'm afraid I'm afraid that he will send it. Lu Ji's face was sad.

"Yes, he told me, he said he would surprise me, my right eyelid has been jumping non-stop lately, and I have a hunch that it will be on his gift." Lu Yu's hand unconsciously touched his right eye.

"Tomorrow is the day of the feast, who are the people here?" Lu Ji asked, he is still more concerned about this matter, and how much strength the prime minister has to speak in this court is all in this.

"There are a lot of people who come, most of them are officials of three or four grades, and you also know that there are basically no officials above the third grade except for the people who followed the emperor to fight on the battlefield, and these people are headed by Yang Liangru, even the emperor can't move them, although the emperor let Yang Liangru idle at home, but it can only be like this, if they are pressed, what happened back then will have to happen again." Lu Yu frowned deeply, only feeling that he had a thousand catties on his body, if the emperor died, how should he mediate with Yang Liangru and this group of people.

"Dad, look at this." Lu Ji took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was densely packed and didn't know what was written.

"What is this?" Lu Yu took the paper and spread it out.

"They all say I've been at home for a long time, who said? Which of the five surnames and seven clans I haven't been to? What is recorded in this letter is the support of these families for the Lu family, he will be forced to be urgent, and we deserve to be bullied? Lu Ji said viciously, "Don't scare anyone, no one who can sit in this position is scared." ”

"Fan Yang Lu wants to change the sky?" Lu Yu looked at the paper in his hand in surprise, "And the Boling Cui clan, these are all scholars in the border area!" ”

"They support the former emperor and the crown prince of the year, since Yang Liangru poisoned the prince to welcome the king of the west, the Zhao family is just the Zhao family." Lu Ji's words made Lu Yu fall into memory, the first thing after the king of the west ascended the throne was to suppress the scholars, this matter was rarely agreed with at the beginning, except for a group of old people such as Yang Liangru, but the emperor still did a very decisive job, the emperor still underestimated the strength of the scholars, the foundation of the country is the people, but the pillars of the country are indeed those big families.

"Yang Liangru chose Zhao Wu as the prince was not to suppress the scholars, the princes of the year understood the importance of the scholars, but Zhao Wu, who was still the king of the West, did not know, maybe he knew, but the benefits were too great, big enough to change his life, we can be in a high position is not to thank the establishment of the election system that shocked the world, since then, the children of the scholars have relied more on their own knowledge in addition to the advantages of the scholars, which is a good thing for us, and it is indeed a bad thing for those scholars."

The next morning, when the birthday banquet was about to begin, with the voice of the servant: "The master of ceremonies has arrived, and a congratulatory letter has arrived!" Chen Yu came, brought a letter, and everyone stood up, this is a big celebrity around the emperor, if he is worried about some small things, then his career will come to an end.

"Everyone sits, today I just came up for the emperor, the emperor is not safe and it is inconvenient to leave the palace, so I will come, everyone is free to do so." Gonggong Chen waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Father-in-law Chen, I'm just waiting for you, I'm here." Lu Yu walked out of it and walked straight to Gonggong Chen's side, and was about to grab Gonggong Chen, and pulled him into the wedding banquet in the inner hall.

"No, no, the emperor still needs me to take care of it in the palace, I don't feel at ease when others take care of it, this is the letter that the emperor asked me to bring, saying that I will let you open it after the banquet is over, and I will leave first." After that, he left quickly, since the last incident, Chen Yu has been wary of Lu Yu's behavior, and at this moment he can only use the emperor as a shield.

"Then in that case, I won't keep Father-in-law Chen longer, be careful on the public highway." Lu Yu smiled all over his face.

"Prime Minister rest assured, the life of the old slave is left to the emperor, he takes care of his body on weekdays, and he has to keep it to take care of the emperor!" Chen Yu left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Yu received the letter in his sleeve, turned around and walked to the inner court, found the old Taoist priest who was meditating, brought a cup of tea and handed it to him and said, "My son and the crown, the Taoist chief will give me a watch." ”

The old Taoist priest hurriedly stood up and took the tea with both hands, "The prime minister doesn't have to be like this. ”

"The Taoist chief is from the mountain, and I am from the mountain, which is different, this salute is to respect the mountain people." Lu Yu was solemn.

"In that case, then I'll take it, Lu Ji Zi Zhicai, how about it?" The old Taoist priest said softly.

"Okay, thank you Daoist, as long as I am there for a day, Longhu Mountain is the head of Taoism, I can do it." Lu Yu opened his mouth and said.

"Hmm." The old Taoist priest nodded heavily.

That night, the guests left, and the huge Prime Minister's Mansion began to become deserted again, and Lu Yu's father and son were in the Lu family ancestral hall.

"This is a letter sent by Chen Yu from the emperor today, saying that I should wait until the banquet is over to open it." Lu Yu took out a letter from his cuff.

Lu Ji took it and opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and he couldn't help but hand the letter to Lu Yu without having a seizure. "Dad, the good emperor in your mouth can't wait for me to die, let me go to Antelope City, that's the frontier! In the past few years, after the emperor became seriously ill, there has been constant friction in the frontier, and at this time, let me make it clear that my Lu family is the last. ”

"Didn't the emperor say that Tang Xian would go with you, isn't he afraid that something will happen to you, what are you afraid of?" Lu Yu opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you an official?" The official of the feudal frontier is the third grade? Is it to your liking? Nearly 300 years since the founding of the Zhao family, you are the first one. ”

"What I want is a Beijing official, not this kind of official!" Land machine airway.

"The letter said that if you set off in three days, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and let Lu Bo follow you when the time comes, Captain Zhichong of Liupin is not his opponent, with him to follow, Dad can rest assured."

"Lu Bo? Does he know martial arts? Isn't he a kid that his father picked up? He grew up with me since he was a child, and I know everything big and small, how to learn martial arts? Lu Ji looked at Lu Yu with an incredulous expression.

"The child who picked up is dead, it was Lu Bo who killed him, I picked up these children back then to let them learn martial arts and then catch and kill each other, only those who survive will stay by their side as dead soldiers, a total of twelve dead soldiers have passed over the years, I can only tell you now that Lu Bo is one of them, and I hope you will never know the rest." Lu Yu said indifferently.

Lu Ji looked up at the eaves and opened his mouth to say something but couldn't say anything, Lu Bo, who had been teased by himself since he was a child but had always been around him, turned out to be dead a long time ago, Lu Yu looked at it and knew that Lu Ji was very uncomfortable now.

"You tell Daddy, what do you want to do? To be an emperor? Lu Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Dad has given you a thorough explanation, don't you tell Dad about it?" ”

"I want Beiban to see me, I just feel that the sky is above! Rejecting the Northern Barbarians has never been my idea, my purpose is to hit the Northern Barbarian Gusu City and plant the Lu family's banner on the city! Lu Ji took a deep breath and said what he wanted,

"So I have to let myself get the support of the scholars, only if the scholars support me, I will have people, soldiers, food, everything I want, the scholars let me be the emperor, and I am desperate to climb to that position!"

"Why do you have to destroy the Northern Barbarians?" Lu Yu didn't think Lu Ji's dream was unacceptable, after all, the Zhao family didn't have the ability to hit Gusu City and had been harassed by the Northern Barbarians just because the emperor had decided the country at the beginning, and the princes who originally thought that they could do something were all poisoned by Yang Liangru, and now the emperor has offended the five surnames and seven clans cleanly, otherwise now it is not just to resist the Northern Barbarians.

"Because of my mother, when my father defeated the fairy bridge, after the dispersion, the army of the former Tang Dynasty has been chasing and killing me and my mother, and later fled to the border between the former Tang Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians, and encountered the cliff, in order to save me, my mother led away the enemy army alone, and then there was a former ** team to chase and kill, and the former Beiban intercepted it, and my mother had to jump off the cliff. . . ." Captain Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yu stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall, and said in his mouth: "Go to the antelope with peace of mind, and leave the capital to me." ”

Lu Ji looked at the tablet in front of him in the ancestral hall, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Dad, you can ignore this matter for the sake of righteousness in your heart, but I also have a small family, and as a son of man, I can't miss a single revenge." ”
