When Lu Jue left Beijing, he asked Zhongzong for three months of marriage leave, and most of the delay on the road had passed. The remaining half a month is enough for him to accompany Zhou Ruoshui to stay with his parents-in-law in Hangzhou, and it can also make her endure the pain of parting her relatives later.

The richest man in Jiangnan married a very lively girl, and Zhou Wenfeng decided to feast for three days. Although there were no more people coming and going in the next two days, it was much more lively than the ordinary businessmen and officials' homes.

On the morning of returning to the door on the third day, Zhou Ruoshui worshiped her in-laws, and accompanied by Lu Jue and the second elder of the Lu family, she came to Zhou's house to worship her parents.

The time flew fast and was almost noon, Zhou Wenfeng ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and just when Lu Jue was pouring wine for the elders one by one, he just raised the wine glass to toast, he saw Yang Wei hurriedly coming from outside, walked to Lu Jue's side very respectfully, put a red wax sealed trust in front of him and said: "Prince, Beijing is in a hurry." ”

Lu Jue put down the wine glass, took the handkerchief handed over by Zhou Ruoshui, cleaned his hands, took the letter and opened it, but before he finished reading it, his brows couldn't help frowning together, he folded the letter, and ordered: "Then there will be Lao Yang Gonggong Ward Han Lao Hou Ye and them, and they will say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Yang Wei didn't dare to slack off and said: "The old slave will go now, and the prince will later." He slowly stepped back to the door before turning to leave.

As soon as Zhou Wenfeng was about to ask, Lu Jue had already comprehended that he would raise his hand to lead him aside, handed the letter over, and questioned slightly: "The emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and urgently summoned me back to Beijing, what does my father-in-law think about this matter?" ”

Zhou Wenfeng read the letter and said: "The major events of the country should not be child's play, and the things on the letter should be believed rather than not." He closed the letter, glanced at him, and deliberately reminded: "If you are not at ease, you might as well discuss it with the prince, he has enough experience to give you some advice." ”

Lu Jue lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, I just want to listen to my father-in-law's opinion on this matter, and I can know it in my heart." ”

"It seems that you have always been wary of him, since this is a blessing or a curse, it is better to go to the capital to go to the capital, even if you have a lot of wealth, it is not as good as the real power in your hands." Put the letter into Lu Jue's hand, and said lightly in the palm of his hand: "Maybe you will be worth the trip." ”

With this sentence, Lu Jue had a bottom in his heart, nodded and smiled slightly: "It seems that the child must sit on this dragon chair this time." ”

It seems that he is determined to get it when he goes, not because he deserves it, but because he has faith.

In this way, the banquet dispersed in a hurry, and when he returned to Suiyuan, Lu Jue was not in a hurry to meet Han Shao and others, but came to the study with Lei Gang, picked up the pen and didn't know what to write on the fold, and handed it to Lei Gang to give a few words after writing, and after he left, he left the study alone and went to the side hall.

When he arrived, Lu Jue discussed with Han Shao and the others who had been waiting there for a long time when to leave, and made some appropriate explanations, then returned to his and Zhou Ruoshui's wedding room, pushed the door and went in, and saw Zhou Ruoshui packing her luggage full of worries, and she didn't need to think much to know what she was worried about. He walked over and sat behind her, hugged her from behind, and whispered: "I won't let you go with me, it's not that I have other thoughts, the road is far away, the situation is urgent, we have to hurry up, and occasionally sleep in the open, I don't want you to suffer with me." He took her by the shoulders and turned her around, so that she faced him and continued, "Besides, I have one more thing that I have to do for you. ”

Zhou Ruoshui understood his good intentions in her heart, but she was about to part with her newly married and felt uncomfortable, she put down the clothes in her hand and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaned on his chest and said: "I won't be a burden to you, just let me go with you!" Together with you, I can also take care of your daily life. ”

Lu Jue lowered his head and lightly touched her forehead, looked at her fingertips and said, "I'm not reluctant to part with you, it's not that I don't want to walk with you, it's a long road、、、、、、 I don't want you to accompany me to work." It's better to wait for you this time, and I'll wait for you to come back in the capital. ”

He just understated it, and didn't say what hardships and dangers he would encounter, but the heart that pulled up told Zhou Ruoshui that Lu Jue's journey would be difficult, she sat up straight and looked at him, and said thoughtfully: "Shui'er understands, Liulang can go with confidence!" Shui'er will definitely go to the capital as soon as possible to meet you. ”

Lu Jue smiled and said: "Shui'er, you and I are newly married, you are about to stay away from me, and the days when you meet your parents are numbered, I originally wanted to stay with you in Hangzhou for a few more days, but I didn't expect the saint to suddenly get sick, whether this is true or not, Jiangshan finally calmed down the war, if there is another civil strife, wouldn't it be worthy of others." It's already unfilial for me to not be able to accompany my father-in-law and mother-in-law longer, so I can accompany my parents by letting you stay a few more days, and I can express my apologies. He put her hand together and said, "You and I are husband and wife, do you understand on behalf of me?"

Zhou Ruoshui, such a warm-hearted person, didn't like it, nodded and didn't force it.

But just as Lu Jue was saying goodbye to his wife, someone knocked on the door to disturb him. He reluctantly got up and opened the door, the person outside the door turned out to be Zhu Zhen's righteous son Zhu Gui, Lu Jue had a cold face, glanced at the uninvited guest unhappily and asked, "Something!" ”

Zhu Gui is not stupid, his words are so blunt and very different from the gentle and polite Lu Jue in the past, he knew that he disturbed his meeting with his wife, but his father-in-law ordered him not to disobey, so he had to be cheeky. Facing Lu Jue's cannibalistic gaze, he shivered and strengthened his courage, touched his neck and smiled awkwardly: "My father-in-law is waiting in the garden to see the adult." At this time, it seems that heroes and heroes also have timid moments.

"Got it." Lu Jue glanced at him, replied coldly, turned around and closed the door and went back to the house.

Leaving Zhu Gui alone is not staying either, the expression on that face is quite exciting. It is not difficult to see from this that this top master is not all not cannibalistic fireworks. He stood stupidly at the door for a moment and no one came out, so he left with a cold face.

Zhu Zhen, who had been waiting in the garden, saw that Zhu Gui was the only one, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

Zhu Gui did not reply to Zhu Zhen's question, but sat on the stone bench with a puffed ass, and reported Zhu Zhen's worthlessness: "A family is a family, and in their eyes, the father-in-law is never worth mentioning." ”

Hearing his complaint, Zhu Zhen understood what he meant, sat down and explained: "It's inevitable, it's been more than 20 years, and it's no wonder who is a human being." "Since the completion of Yan Lie's Fufa, Zhu Zhen began to learn to be relieved, and he also understood that everything is not something that can be calculated.

These words made Zhu Gui even more angry, and he slapped the stone table hard and stood up and said angrily: "How can he do this to you, you are his uncle, he is so 、、、、、、"

"Ziyu"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gui immediately felt a chill behind his back, swallowed back the next words, turned his head and rushed to Lu Jue with a very embarrassed smile and hugged his fists: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Lu Jue smiled back and didn't care about anything, raised his hand and clasped his fist and saluted him: "Brother Zhu." Then he stepped forward and bowed deeply, "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

Maybe Zhu Zhen just wanted to see what Lu Jue's attitude was at this time, and the prince of Daqi did not stop him from saluting, and only asked after he finished saluting: "Letter from Beijing, but what is the change?" ”

He is a young general king, he has been imprisoned in the Jin Kingdom for more than 20 years, and if he has no ability, he will not live today, and he will know about it when he writes from Jingzhong, and Lu Jue is not surprised. He did not hide it and replied: "The emperor has suddenly contracted a serious illness and has been in a coma for several days, and the palace urgently summoned me back to Beijing. ”

"If it happened suddenly, do you think there is fraud in it, after all, those few in Beijing are not all fuel-efficient lamps." After reminding him, squint at the change in his expression.

I saw Lu Jue lowering his head and twisting his eyebrows, as if he was deep in thought, and suddenly he raised his head and asked with a curious attitude: "I don't know what my uncle thinks." Compared with those in Beijing, Zhu Zhen made Lu Jue even more jealous. At this time, he didn't force him to be wholeheartedly, he just wanted to try his attitude, because for Lu Jue at this time, one less opposition was one less rival.

Back then, he was sought after by many people, and now it is difficult to even win the trust of others, Zhu Zhen sneered, stood up and walked to the opposite side of Lu Jue, his eyes were sharp like knives, and he snorted lightly: "It's good to be cautious, but it may only backfire if you guard against people too much." ”

It turned out that his attitude had been understood by him early on, and the embarrassment on Lu Jue's face was fleeting. also got straight to the point: "I have decided to go back to Beijing, and always avoiding is not the solution, I want to face it head-on." After a pause, he asked, "Is my uncle going back to Beijing with me?" ”

Zhu Zhen lowered his eyebrows, held Lu Jue's shoulder tightly and said, "With my ability, it is easy to think of the throne, you don't have to bother to put me under your nose to monitor." I have been a prisoner for more than 20 years, and what I lost is not something that can be made up for by high power, I just want to be a person outside the world and live a lazy life! ”

At this time, Lu Jue did not distinguish the truth of his words, but looked at the hand on his shoulder, and also took off his guard and said: "After more than 20 years of separation, I think the emperor also wants to reunite with brothers." ”

"Brothers." Who knew that Zhu Zhen snorted coldly, glanced at Lu Jue with strange eyes, walked out of the pavilion and looked up at the sky, once the rising sun had moved to noon, he sighed softly: "I don't want to cause suspicion anymore, it was a royal affair to be imprisoned back then, since King Luo has been punished for rebellion and seizure of the throne, wouldn't it be a storm if he goes back again!" I still won't go back. ”

Lu Jue looked regretful and said, "I think the emperor will definitely regret it." ”

Zhu Zhen shook his head with a smile, poured two cups of tea, handed Lu Jue a cup in one hand, and waited for him to take it and said: "Replace wine with tea, I wish you success and all the best." ”

"Uncle Xie Huang." After Lu Jue took it, he drank it directly as much as he could

After Zhu Zhen drank the tea, he seemed to think of something and reminded: "There is one thing you have to remember, it is difficult for others above the court to say, but these people are still credible, Yao Gongzhi, Ma Chengqian, Han Shao, the old prince Zhu Chengzhi, and Jiang Huan, the young secretary of Dali Temple." ”

Hearing the last name, Lu Jue couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Zhu Zhen with a little surprise, and said, "Jiang Huan is credible." ”

Zhu Zhen sat down and said with an inexplicable smile: "Why can't you believe it, no matter who he was before, at least he won't have two hearts for you." As an emperor, you must learn to control and use, you can't just blindly appoint loyal and good, and some treacherous villains sometimes have a big use. ”

The elder's words are mostly experiences, and every sentence is reasonable, Lu Jue will naturally remember it in his heart, and bowed deeply and said: "Nephew, remember, Uncle Xie's good words." ”

Zhu Zhen held his arm and let him get up and said, "Everything in the palace is in danger, and my uncle and your father-in-law are not around, so I can't give you advice on everything." In this way," he pointed directly at Zhu Gui on the side and continued: "Gui'er, you have seen it several times, although your temper is cold, your kung fu is already above me, and we will rest assured that he is safe for you!" You have trouble with him, and he knows where to find me. Seeing that he had a look of resignation, he said before Lu Jue could speak: "I know you want to excuse yourself, no matter what speculation you have, I have no malicious intent." ”

The words have already been said about this, and Lu Jue is no longer hypocritically nodding and saying, "Uncle Xie." ”

Zhu Zhen smiled heartily, beckoned Zhu Gui to come forward and instructed him in everything: "Gui'er, you have to remember that the prince will be your master in the future, and everything is important to him, understand?" ”

Although Zhu Gui was very reluctant, he still agreed. stepped forward with a cold face, as if symbolic, and arched his hand at Lu Jue and said, "Zhu Gui has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

It seems that before the two of them misunderstood, he would have been so cold, frowning and smiling back.
