Volume 2 The Dark Tide of the Silent Night Chapter 15 Lu Weng
"And then? Become your world? The corners of Zhao Wuyin's mouth raised, and his tone was still a little provocative.
Zhu Zhiling heard his extraneous sound, but still endured it. As the eldest princess of the Bihai Kingdom and the prison country, except for the mother queen, no one needs her to be patient. Only this man, she understands him, he has suffered from the heat of the world since he was a child, and some cold arrogance and some meanness in his personality are nothing. She also felt guilty because his father died at the hands of the Zhu family, and she was also a member of the Zhu family.
But at the end of the day, she was willing to endure him because she loved him. The world without him would be a dead end.
"I know you don't want to hear that, but I hate the Mother no less than you hate her, you know that! It's just that we still need to be patient, and the mission has just arrived in Taiye City. Our plans have just begun! Zhu Zhiling looked at Zhao Wuyun with some anxiety, without the slightest hypocrisy in her eyes.
"Really?" Zhao Wuyin still smiled at each other with a hint of a sneer, "Maybe your patience is not over, and I will die at the hands of your mother." He added hatefully: "Just like your father back then." ”
Zhu Zhiling didn't seem to care about her husband's sarcasm at all, or she was used to hearing her husband's tone, so her expression became firm.
"I'll never let her do this to you." Zhu Zhiling paused, suddenly regained the majesty of the princess of the prison country, and said: "You have been newly promoted to the household squire this year, Lu Wenchi, the head of the household department, don't surprise him again for the time being, you should be wronged under him." The Mother has sensed that I am in a hurry, and with her cleverness, we will be suspected if we are too hasty. ”
"But Lu Wenchi is Lu Xingyuan's son, how can we shake Lu Xingyuan's foundation if we don't bring him down. How can Lu Xingyuan deal with your mother emperor! How much time do you have left? Zhao Wuyin was a little anxious.
"Lu Xingyuan can't move! He's my father's father! Zhu Zhiling suddenly felt a sense of grandeur. Zhao Wuyin, who was standing on the side, was forced to take a step back, but he still snorted unrelentingly: "It's not a biological ......."
"That can't be! You remember! This is the only thing you are not allowed to assert! Zhu Zhiling's body is already in a state of complete imminent battle. After speaking, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the conversation should not be so stiff, and tried her best to say softly: "Actually, he is already eighty-two, and we won't need to worry about anything in a few years." Why do you ......?"
"Speaking of which, why did this old man live so long? How can we have such a long-lived man in the blue sea. Zhao Wuyin didn't want to bump into his wife's edge head-on, so he turned his face away and changed the topic.
Zhu Zhiling said in a low voice: "No wonder you don't know, the imperial grandmother didn't let you talk about this matter before, so only our Zhu family knows." The reason he can live so long is because he is not from my Bihai country. ”
"Where is that?"
"Imurans."
* * * * * *.
Outside the Yongjin Gate, an eight-horse treasure car slowly drove away. The eight white horses pulled without a trace of miscellaneous hair, with four steady hooves, stepped on the palace gate avenue that had been washed after the rain, looking extra heroic. Look at the body again, the whole body of camphor wood, carved with auspicious patterns such as "Heavenly Official Blessing", "Kui Xing Dian Dou", "Five Bats Holding Shou" and "Carp Leaping Dragon Gate". The roof of the car is based on black jade, decorated with tortoiseshell pearl shells, and the sixteen stars of the purple micro-wall canopy are inlaid with the stars, which are dazzling and eye-catching.
There is a sign hanging on the side of the door, which reads "Peiguo Mansion".
Everyone knows how rich the Peiguo Mansion is.
Everyone didn't know how rich the Peiguo Mansion was.
Serving three generations of Ming Emperors, he has been awarded countless land and mineral deposits, and the second son is the current Hubu Shangshu, the eight major business alliances of Bihai Kingdom, and there are three of the other sons in their hands, his family has no money, who has money?
But Pei Guogong has made an oath since he became an official: "I will not take a penny in this life, and all the property in my family can be donated in full if the country needs it in the future, leaving nothing." As soon as these words came out, the whole country shook.
Don't look at people's money, but people look at it very lightly, and they are willing to take it all out anytime and anywhere, and this spirit is not something that anyone can do. And it's not just lip service, just a gesture. In the war of poison and gold, in order to build a golden wall, Lu Xingyuan really exchanged all the valuable things that could be sold at home into gold. Therefore, although the Lu family is rich, it is not hated, and although it is expensive, it is not disrespected.
The carriage drove all the way to the Yongjin Gate, and the gatekeeper opened the gate that non-royal families were not allowed to enter, and invited the car to enter. Lu Xingyuan waved his hand, signaled the entourage to stop the car, and then left all the entourage outside the door, and walked in alone with square steps.
He is not the only one who can enter the Golden Gate, and it is the grace of the Ming Emperor that he can enter by car when he is old, and it has become the only will he does not obey.
Come to the Dingxiang Hall of the Yi Palace.
Before entering the temple, the golden wisps of incense have already wafted in.
Lu Xingyuan stopped and asked the palace maid outside the hall: "It seems that there is more incense burning today than in the past." The palace maid whispered: "Your Majesty is depressed today, and he ordered someone to vote three more points." ”
Lu Xingyuan let out an "oh", and his heart was about measured.
Zhu Yutang leaned on the beauty couch and closed her eyes, but Ren Lu Xingyuan took a light step, and she still heard it. She waved her hand gently, and the palace maids understood, and retreated in an orderly manner, covering the temple door.
"Awn, sit down."
Lu Xingyuan has many titles, three generations of old ministers, prime ministers of the dynasty, Pei Guogong, and scholars of the Yufang Palace, any one of which is enough to become a lifelong achievement in a person's life. But none of him cared. Only this Ah Weng hit the heart.
"Your Majesty called the old minister today?" Lu Xingyuan sat down on a Taishi chair at the head of the bed.
"Recently, Ling Er has done some things, one is to work with Emperor Wen Li Houcong to send her aunt back. One is that after the impeachment of Gu Wutong, the head of the household department, for dereliction of duty, he made up for the vacancy of Zhao Wuyun, the Qing shark concubine. There is also the matter of mining new mines on Nanhua Island. ”
When Lu Xingyuan heard it, it was all a matter of the court, which was a little strange. If it is a matter of the court, why should he be called to the Golden Gate?
"Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong with Princess Qingyu?" Lu Xingyuan asked cautiously.
"These three things have been done without leakage, and the rules are measured," Zhu Yuyu frowned, and his jade hand gently buckled the edge of the couch, again and again.
"But when they were put together, I always felt that Ling Er was in a hurry. I asked her in person, but she seemed anxious and refused to speak. ”
Lu Xing was far from speechless. He served three generations of Ming Emperors, and knew that the most powerful thing in the Zhu family was the art of contemplating the mind. Zhu Lanchun, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was good at observing colors, able to save people's hearts, and at a young age, he was able to grasp a business alliance and do a good deal, all by virtue of his own ability to recognize people's sections. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country was strong and the people were rich, not only because the Ming Emperor had the talent to govern the country, but also because he knew the virtuous ministers and good ministers. He can be so valued by the Ming emperors of the past dynasties, but also because he is dedicated to public service, and he can't see a trace of his distracting thoughts with the art of contemplating the mind. So now that Emperor Zhu Yutang suddenly mentioned it like this, then Princess Qingyu must have some hidden secrets.
"The child is young, and there may be impatience. However, since His Majesty was worried, the old minister stared at it slightly. I wonder where Your Majesty thinks it is safer to start? ”
"The head of the household is your son Lu Wenchi, and Zhao Wuyun, the Qing shark horse, has only recently filled in the position of waiter, and your son can see every move most clearly, so let him keep a snack." Just star, don't startle him. "Emperor Ming obviously had an idea in his heart.
"Your Majesty still thinks that Zhao Wuyin's kid is not good?" Lu Xingyuan asked tentatively.
"Of course, it was the emperor who killed his father at the beginning, and it was also his father who stole the sky and embezzled the treasury decades ago. Although Zhao Wuyin is talented, he has an obsession with this matter. Emperor Ming frowned more and more.
"But the horse and the princess have been married for two years, and they are in love with each other, and now if you want to do anything more, you are afraid of throwing a mouse." Lu Xingyuan watched Zhu Zhiling grow up, and Zhu Zhiling's intentions for Zhao Wuyun were clear to him at a glance.
Emperor Ming was silent.
What Lu Xingyuan said is not wrong, this is indeed not a problem that can be solved in a while, so for the time being, he can only stare at it, not to mention that now Zhao Wuyin has not done anything out of the ordinary, and he can't be punished for employing people.
After the matter of the court was finished, Lu Xingyuan could feel that Emperor Ming didn't want him to step down, so he sat silently and waited for Emperor Ming to speak.
After a long time, Emperor Ming called in a low voice: "Ah Weng." ”
Lu Xingyuan hurriedly responded: "I'm here." ”
"I've been missing him so much lately, and I've always felt ...... Should I have ...... in the first place?" Zhu Yutang's voice became softer and softer.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is saying these things that should not be said again. Lu Xingyuan's tone became a little stern, and his tone was more like a father.
"But...... If I had ......"
"Your Majesty! The minister has said many times that there is nothing that should and should not be. His Majesty just obeyed the will of the emperor, not to mention that the wine was brought to him by the minister himself! If he wants to complain, he will not complain about His Majesty, but only complain about the minister, who is a father! Lu Xingyuan suddenly interrupted her categorically, his voice a little trembling but extremely firm.
"But after all, I killed him because of me!"
Zhu Yutang's scream resounded throughout the palace, as if a black veil had suddenly been lifted, revealing a terrifyingly distorted face. Zhu Yu fell on the couch, grabbing the brocade on the soft couch like a vent, and tears seeped into it drop by drop.
"I liked him so much, but I watched him die, watched his blood come out of his mouth and nose, and still tried to comfort me and smile at me. Later, his eyes began to bleed as well, and he noticed that he could not see me anymore and was still calling my name. How many nights, as soon as I close my eyes, all I see is the blood on his face, full of blood...... "Zhu Yutang was in a mess, he couldn't cry anymore, and the pine green hosta on his head fell to the ground at some point, broke into two, and his black hair was scattered around his body.
