Text Chapter VI Decisions

I have said it so clearly, I don't know if he really doesn't understand or is stubborn, it seems that on the issue of the ownership of the throne, no matter how good the words and persuasion are, Zhu Xian is just playing the piano to the cow at this time. Lu Jue also decided not to prevaricate anymore, and said seriously: "Zheng Shangshu has prejudices against Weichen, and it is not a matter of one or two days, the minister is in a high position before he reaches the crown, and anyone will think about it a lot, and even create various incidents, wanting to implicate Weichen in order to coerce the so-called backer behind Weichen." What Zheng Shangshu said to the prince, Weichen had no way of knowing, but the prince didn't think much about it! Although it is said that each takes advantage of each other and benefits each other, is he really loyal and selfless? ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Hearing this, Zhu Xian was really stupid if he didn't understand it anymore, and these obvious things couldn't help but make him start to think more, he was already being used as a headshot.

It's good to know that after thinking about it, it seems that this person is not hopeless. Lu Jue smiled, raised his hand and made a gesture to invite him to take a seat, and after he sat down, he also sat down, put his arm on the stone table, leaned forward slightly, and said: "After the incident, what benefits did he promise the prince, and whether he can really honor these we will not say." In a single-point assassination case, he had no evidence or corroboration; Second, there is no evidence or physical evidence. It would be too far-fetched to convict me just by removing the prisoner from the penal department! ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Zheng Shangshu is the secretary of the Criminal Department, the head of the three divisions, and this king has nothing to do with him when he comes here." Zhu Xian is not stupid, if he now admits that he came because of Zheng Yunlin's bewitchment, then it is really hopeless, although some things are known by heart since ancient times, but the emperor is the most disgusted. If you don't pick out the party and faction, you will be fine, as long as you pierce this layer of window paper, no one will end well!

"Don't be in a hurry to pick him up, he is turbid or clear, I am not confused, I can tell." Qu finger knocked on the stone table and reminded: "There are some things that are not clear but they are clear, the emperor is still doing everything possible to suppress the case, but the prince does not know his intentions to come here to handle the case!" If you make things out of control because of you, the prince can think about his own fate. How majestic King Jin was back then and what a fate he ended up with, the prince knows better than Weichen, an outsider! Taking a step back, even if the prince can deal with me quickly according to this plan, the prince's road to the prince may not be smooth, the emperor is not only your son, can learn who is high and who is low, this is not a good judgment, but to pick up the coveting of the throne, it is like a wolf and a tiger! ”

Somehow listening to his words, Zhu Xian's whole body was uncomfortable with a strong cold body, and he got up and changed his seat to distance himself from Lu Jue. He laughed dryly and said: "The crown prince has been established in the court for many years, and the title of the prince has been predetermined, so be careful that the king killed you on the spot for slandering the imperial family." ”

Lu Jue smiled and said with a calm face: "Yes! Zhu Xian, you and I am not stupid, the more you want to do many things successfully, the more loopholes there will be. The prince really thinks that my Dali Temple is a place where you want to come and walk, Zheng Yinglong was robbed in prison, and it is time for the prince to give an explanation to this seat! ”

Before Lu Jue finished speaking, he suddenly bounced up from his seat, looked at Lu Jue with wide eyes and disbelief, and asked: "It turns out that you already know that Zheng Yinglong's robbery was committed by this king, why don't you go to expose me in front of your father?" ”

Lu Jue's smiling eyes were like a sharp blade, staring at him tightly, and said word by word: "If you don't offend me, you will be fine!" ”

"You"

Lu Jue got up and walked to him and said, "Zheng Yunlin thought that if I was sick, I would be lax in the management of Dali Temple, and it would be easy for him to save people." I didn't know if I told the prince that he had offended me, and this was just an opportunity I created to get rid of him. In order to make it clear to the prince, the minds of the few people in power in the court are uncertain, and no one wants to ruin their good future because of this, in order to avoid suspicion of smart people choose to protect themselves, why should the prince wade into this muddy water, listen to the advice of the ministers It is best to stay away from this matter! Walking towards the house with one hand behind his back, when he walked to the stone table and stopped, he brushed off a teacup with a flick of his wide sleeves, glanced at the fragments on the ground, smiled at him, and said lightly: "Poria cocos, send off." With that, he went into the house without looking back.

Leaving Zhu Xian alone in deep thought, he understood that he was not afraid that he would say it so clearly, but to warn him of what would happen if he continued like this.

Fortunately, Zhu Xian was not too confused, and before the matter reached the point of being out of control, he left with his own people. In this way, Lu Jue can concentrate on doing what he wants to do, and he doesn't have to worry about dealing with one more person.

Unlike Zhu Xian, the eldest princess's purpose is very clear, that is, she hopes that Lu Jue can focus on her own safety. But Lu Jue understands that there are some things that can not be avoided if you want to, not that you want to attack everything, you can only say that you can't help yourself.

Lu Jue silently lowered his eyes, fiddled with the lid of the cup in his hand, and said sarcastically: "At this time, what can I do if I don't go step by step, now for me, taking a step back is not the sea and the sky, but the abyss." Looking up at Zhu Yunqin, he smiled lightly: "But the princess can rest assured, I will not be slaughtered, although I can't change the status quo for the time being, at least I can make it no longer difficult for me to go in the future." ”

But Zhu Yunqin was even more worried, stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm tightly, and said worriedly: "It's too dangerous, Xiao Jue, I have lost too many relatives, and it is not easy to find you, I don't want you to have anything to do with you again, you better don't care who is the same faction as whom, after all, it is not up to one person to control the ups and downs of the country." Don't let me bear the pain of losing my loved ones anymore, you are involved in the assassination, so try to protect yourself as much as possible! ”

Lu Jue moved his gaze to the table, smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "Please forgive me for my helplessness, the moment I stepped into the capital, there was no choice, now if I take a step back, they will take several steps, and they will take several steps to escape this difficult time to ensure that there will be good luck next time, will I have a better end than King Jin then." The case of witch Gu is not only the sorrow of King Jin, but also a stain on the prince, they are compatriots of the same mother, how many people want to restrain the prince and remove the prince with this. The princess should understand that I am doing all this for nothing else, for the sleepless night, those souls that are entangled day and day, we live well, and we can't let their blood be shed in vain! ”

Zhu Yunqin, who called the princess one by one, felt sour in his heart, he had been wholeheartedly devoted to him for three years, but he had never heard him call himself the eldest sister, he was more disappointed and more tired, withdrew his hand from his arm, held the handkerchief tightly and looked at Lu Jue sadly and said: "Xiao Jue, it's been three years, do you really not want to call me the imperial sister?" ”

Hearing Zhu Yunqin's faint voice, Lu Jue's heart stabbed, he looked up at Zhu Yunqin, opened his mouth, and still didn't say anything.

He and he are already the only relatives, relatives who depend on each other, but although this relative is close at hand, there has always been a gap due to years of loss, looking at him Zhu Yunqin is sad and tired, so tired that he doesn't even want to say more resentful words, avoiding Lu Jue's gaze, tears can't help but fall.

It can't be said that Lu Jue is ruthless, it's not that he doesn't want to be close, he has lived in the folk for more than 20 years, and there is a deep-rooted gully that he is too difficult to cross, that is, the royal family.

Lu Jue looked helpless, and said apologetically: "Princess, I 、、、、、、"

Zhu Yunqin smiled bitterly, clenched his fists, and said indignantly: "Don't explain, I understand, all this cause and effect will eventually have retribution, since you want to do it, no one should let it go!" However, there are hungry wolves and tigers in the past, so you must be vigilant and always be careful. Where I am useful, I don't have to avoid danger and speak directly, and I don't need to find someone to pass it on! ”

Of course, Lu Jue understood the meaning of her words, although she was blaming, she still couldn't help but care in her heart, this was nothing else or blood and family. He smiled warmly, put the carefully prepared dim sum in front of Zhu Yunqin, picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and handed it over, and said in a low voice: "First, I grew up in the people since I was a child, and although I have blood relations with these princes, I have no family affection and will not listen to anyone's slander; Second, I am not King Jin who knows his situation and understands what it means to repay me double if someone offends. Although I am a pawn on the chessboard, he is not qualified to fight with me when it comes to power! ”

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Yunqin resigned. Send the eldest princess away and arrange for Hong'er to stay. Lu Jue didn't go to rest, but sat back down on the concubine's floor, looking preoccupied again.

Finally sent everyone away, and the medicine that had been boiled for a long time could finally be sent in. "The medicine has been warm for a long time, and now it's okay to drink it! Don't put it off any longer. Liu Lingling put the medicine in front of him, stared at the letter on the table and asked, "Miss Zhou has a letter?" ”

Lu Jue looked at his knowingly questioning look, and said with a bitter smile: "I have already put it on the table when I came back from the Criminal Department, will you not know as the chief butler in the mansion?" ”

Liu Fuling laughed stupidly, scratched her head, sat on the chair to pay attention to the change in his expression, and asked cautiously: "That, young master, September is coming, and your wedding date with Miss Zhou is close at hand, I don't know what you have planned?" Is it to marry, or to push? ”

Who knew that Lu Jue didn't answer, lowered his head, didn't know what to think, touched the red beans, and sighed for a long time before saying: "A handful of acacia beans, a wisp of lovesickness!" ”

If you have no feelings, you will withdraw from the marriage, and if you are reluctant, you will marry back, when will your young master be like this mother-in-law. Liu Fuling couldn't stand his appearance anymore, and pulled a face and said: "Young master, don't worry, Master Zhou and his wife are in the capital, I think it's better to find a reason to push it!" Don't be sad. ”

"Am I doing it wrong, am I?" raised his head and looked at Liu Poria with eyes full of begging for information.

"Don't you know this better than anyone else!" Liu Fuling got up and sat beside him, and said bitterly: "Speaking of which, I really feel worthless for Miss Zhou, although she is said to be the fiancΓ©e of the second-class member of the court, but a few people know that she has never gotten anything except this empty title!" She is a woman, a person who wants to spend her life with you, why should the young master be so hurtful! ”

"You know best what my body is doing, I just don't want to leave her with nothing at that time, leaving her alone." Stretching out a finger and counting the red beans, there was an indescribable desolation.

"It's all an excuse, young master, you know better than me that you are an official, is this really the best for Miss Zhou? A few fallen plums can still be pitied by the young master, why do you have to bear the true feelings of Miss Zhou, who has been married to you for many years. I don't think you're lovesick either! Bent down and let go of Lu Jue's hand, grabbed the handful of red beans and grabbed them all in his hand and said: "Long pain is better than short pain, for Miss Zhou's happiness in the future, and for your good!" Young master, don't drag others, send your kindness, withdraw from your relatives, and it's a hundred! With that, he waved his hand and threw the red beans in his hand.

"What are you doing" Lu Jue immediately stood up and squatted on the ground around Changji, looking for it, while scolding: "How can you be like this, no matter what, this is a piece of affection from Shui'er after all, how can it be so bad." Whether this love is contracted at a young age or waited for many years, it already has her status in his heart, if he can really give up easily, why should he delay it for so long. In a word, there is already that ignorant girl in his heart.

Liu Fuling, who was standing beside him with his expression, saw it clearly, and felt relieved in his heart, walked up to him and squatted down and said, "Don't look for it, I didn't lose it, here." He opened his hand and showed the red beans in his hand in front of him and said, "It seems that the young master is reluctant." ”

Lu Jue snatched the handful of red beans into his hand, stroked it with tenderness, and said softly: "How can I really turn a blind eye to her friendship with me, I am not hard-hearted, of course I will be hard to give up." ”

As a follower and friend, Liu Fuling naturally hopes that Lu Jue can get his own happiness, when he postponed his marriage several times due to his own physical reasons, Liu Fuling once thought that he wanted to be lonely for a lifetime. Now I am very happy to hear this. Stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile while walking towards the couch: "I'll just say, how can our young master be so ruthless!" The young master has been in Beijing for three years, and there are many officials who have sent the United States to surrender to the United States, but you have turned them away one by one, I originally thought that you were not close to women and wanted to be a monk. I didn't expect it to live up to the young lady's affection. ”

Lu Jue glanced at him and said: "I have been waiting for a few years for a marriage contract, what reason do I have to fail her, she is my wife, this is a fact that no one can change." He sat back on the couch and put the letter and red beans in an envelope, and placed it in a black lacquer carved wooden box, which was filled with letters in uniform font.

Liu Fuling had already blossomed, but she put up her waist and pretended to be angry: "Hmph, it turns out that the young master has a plan for a long time, but he still wants to make fun of me, a subordinate." That's not false at all, it's mostly treacherous! ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue raised his head and said with a pitiful look: "I just made a joke with you once and became a treacherous person, so you yelled at my master again and again, is there any suspicion of oppressing the good master?" As he spoke, he removed the lampshade from the lamp beside the couch and blew it out. Picked up a few boxes and stood up.

"Don't I care about you!" Saying that, he stepped forward to help. After a while, only the one on the round table remained. Liu Lingling picked it up and led the way in front, instructing: "Be careful of your step." ”

Lu Jue didn't speak, just answered, and walked into the bedroom with Liu Fuling behind him, and entered the bedroom Lu Jue sat on the couch next to the bed, put his arm on the low table, and motioned to Liu Fuling: "I've been cultivating for a long time, let's take a pulse!" ”

Every time Lu Jue has to go far away, he will take the initiative to take the pulse, combined with what he said just now, Liu Lingling seems to know something, but he pretended to be confused and asked, "It seems that the young master is going to go far away?" ”

Lu Jue said: "Knowingly, I went to Huilaiju at noon, and discussed with my second brother and father-in-law, and when my lawsuit is over, I will rush to Hangzhou and Suzhou with him respectively." The second brother will pick up his father and mother and rush to Hangzhou to renegotiate the marriage date. I will stay in Hangzhou until I get married. ”

Liu Fuling raised her eyebrows, her round eyes and said in disbelief: "Young Master means to marry in Hangzhou?" "People are terrible, he is the son of his relatives, although it is wrong to postpone the marriage, but he will not be suspicious of being in trouble!

His uncomfortable expression was clear at a glance, and he naturally knew what he was thinking, Lu Jue didn't think about dispelling his concerns, and nodded directly: "Is there a problem!" ”

"No, how can there be! You don't care, I have any opinions. Haha" laughed dryly, and then felt that the atmosphere was awkward, so he hurriedly smiled and arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master." ”

Lu Jue returned the salute and smiled gently: "Thank you." ”

"Still." Liu Fuling touched her chin and said with a big problem: "I have a very important matter, we have to talk about it, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Lu Jue knew what he was going to talk about, so it was rare to be idle and act with him. He nodded with a smile and said, "Come on." ”

Liu Fuling sat on the other side of the bed, patted her chest, and said seriously: "As the chief housekeeper of the Lu Mansion and the doctor next to the young master, I am responsible for the young master's health. So, I must accompany me when I go out this time, and it's not troublesome. ”

Lu Jue frowned, and looked embarrassed: "Is there room for excuses?" ”

It's not bad to be pitiful, Liu Fuling turned her head sideways and didn't look at his pitiful appearance, without the slightest intention of regression, and said resolutely: "No, I'm just a dog skin plaster on my body, don't want to get rid of it." ”

In this way, Lu Jue also accepted his fate, and nodded helplessly: "Alas, then accept fate!" You know best who makes me physically conditioned, and where to go, of course, you are indispensable. ”

"A word is a certainty, and there is no repentance." Afraid that Lu Jue would regret it, Liu Lingling immediately slapped the table and set it.

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Lu Jue took off his coat and handed it to Liu Fuling, sat on the bed and said, "This afternoon, I have already asked Lei Gang to go to Hangzhou first, and this time I will not only bring you, but also Moon Shadow will accompany you." ”

He took the clothes, looked at Lu Jue with great admiration, clasped his hands into fists and raised them in front of his chest and said, "The young master is really wise and powerful!" ”

Lu Jue scolded him with a smile: "Don't be poor, pour me a glass of water." ”

"Yes." Liu Fuling hung up her clothes with a smile, poured a glass of water and brought it to the bed, handed it to him and asked, "Young Master, do you plan to ride a horse or take a carriage?" ”

Lu Jue leaned on the head of the bed and said with a smile: "Since you want to accompany you, of course you have to listen to Dr. Liu." ”

Liu Fuling touched her chin and said: "That's embarrassing, everyone has their own good, riding a horse is fast, but it's not as comfortable as a car." Although it is comfortable to ride in a carriage, it is not as fast as riding a horse, which is really nerve-wracking and nerve-wracking! ”

Lu Jue smiled and closed his eyes without interrupting, in fact, this kind of distress is inevitably another kind of happiness for him.
