Text: Chapter 9

Who would have thought that things would be resolved so easily by Lu Jue, Yang Shuxiao, who wanted to climb to the high branch and seek other high power, never thought that even the most taboo witch Gu case in Zhongzong did not contain Lu Jue, and he saw with his own eyes how Lu Jue turned passive into active, and how Zheng Yunlin was beheaded all over the house. If he knows that he doesn't have to think about the end of his yang and yin, it seems that it is better to explain some things earlier than to be able to be able to do it, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he went to Cheng'anmen, where Lu Jue often goes, to wait for him, but what he was waiting for was not the person he wanted to wait, but Yao Minghao.

But he didn't see any panic, so he stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen General Yao." ”

Yao Minghao smiled and said, "I'm not surprised at all, it looks like you should know what I'm here for." ”

Now that Yang Shuxiao has understood everything, it seems that Lu Jue is not even willing to see him, this is not even giving him a chance to intercede. sighed heavily and said, "One person does things and one person does it, can the little general intercede with adults for my family?" "At the end of the sentence, it was already a pleading.

Yao Minghao frowned and said: "Why don't you think about your wife and children when you do this, my brother is kind-hearted, but he can't be bullied if he wants to!" ”

Uncle Yang frowned, full of regret and said: "People go to high places and water flows to low places, and no one is wrong to rise step by step if they want to become famous, and the mistake is to have a harmful heart." I only did it once, only once. "But it seems that you can't turn over after just one time.

Yao Minghao looks down on such a person, he dares to do it, but he still has to pretend to be pitiful in front of outsiders. He glanced at him with contempt and said, "Wrong is wrong, and you have to bear the consequences." My brother gave you a chance, but you didn't grasp it, so don't complain now. ”

In retrospect, Lu Jue didn't hint that he was too self-righteous and always regarded him as a conceited and incompetent young man. If you still hope that Lu Jue can spare himself and continue to let himself live, then he is not a white-faced Yama! But he still didn't want to give up any opportunity, as long as he could meet Lu Jue. Yang Shuxiao sighed again and asked, "I want to see my lord." ”

It was a voice from behind: "What can you do when you see him!" ”

It turned out to be the eldest princess, it seems that this time it is really difficult to escape, Yang Shuxiao put away his surprise, and saluted: "Xiaguan has seen the eldest princess." ”

Zhu Yunqin glanced at him lightly and said coldly: "Xiao Jue thinks that you are making a mistake for the first time, and intends to let you go." He is kind-hearted and can't bear to be an evil person, but this princess can't tolerate anyone's heart to harm him, since he doesn't want to be a wicked person, it is better to have this princess to do it. ”

Yang Shuxiao opened his mouth to say what he wanted to say, but he didn't say it, so he closed his mouth tightly.

Zhu Yunqin snorted, glanced at him, stepped forward and walked around Yang Shuxiao and said: "As a high-ranking person in Dali Temple, Lord Yang should also be familiar with the law, and what punishment is given to those who kill the emperor's heir in the law of Daqi, adults should know!" At a glance, Uncle Yang was full of majesty.

At this time, Yang Shuxiao also remembered the thing that everyone avoided mentioning, and couldn't help but shudder. hurriedly knelt down to fight for a chance for herself: "The eldest princess does not have the right to dispose of the lower officials, and the lower officials want to see Lord Siqing!" ”

Yao Minghao pointed at him and said angrily: "You are so thick-skinned, you and others have joined forces to harm my brother." Now I have to beg my brother to spare you, why don't you go and beg the emperor! ”

Yang Shuxiao refused to give up: "The lower official lives in Dali Temple, and the only one who can dispose of the lower official is Lord Siqing." ”

Zhu Yunqin leaned over and stared at him, and said coldly: "Do you think this princess will give you a chance." ”

Yang Shuxiao met her gaze and said, "It's not a pity for Xia Guan to die, I just want to give my family a chance." ”

Zhu Yunqin snorted and said, "Why do you have to keep the vicious dog by your side if you are not familiar with it, do you think your Lord Siqing is really an idiot!" Uncle Yang, a mistake is a mistake, even if it is changed, it is still a mistake, do you think this princess will give you a chance to harm him a second time? ”

Hearing this, Yang Shuxiao sat down on the ground, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help despairing.

On the other hand, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Lu Jue did not leave in a hurry, but went to Hande Hall to ask Zhongzong for nearly three months' marriage leave. Although Zhongzong was a little suspicious and surprised at this point, he finally allowed it to be retained a few times. Lu Jue thanked him for saying goodbye to the emperor and just walked out of Fengtianmen, but he met King Luo, who was waiting for him. At this time, facing him, Lu Jue didn't know what to say, the case of witch Gu was a taboo that no one dared to touch, but he was desperate and chose to use this stone to ask for directions. At this point, no matter whose heart is down, it is obviously superfluous to say anything about right and wrong. Looking at him from afar, many thoughts flashed in his mind, he let out a heavy sigh, stepped forward, and saluted: "Ziyu has seen the prince." ”

King Luo smiled mildly and said lightly: "No need to be polite, where is your sedan chair?" King Luo changed his previous home attire, and deliberately changed into a dark purple python robe, revealing a spirit that people dare not ignore.

Lu Jue lowered his head, put his hands in an orderly manner and replied: "Outside the Cheng'an Gate." ”

The carriages, sedan chairs, and horses ridden by the officials of Jiuqing are all parked at the Cheng'an Gate and Yong'an Gate in the outer hall, and the princes and nobles can even stop at the Fengtian Gate on the left and right in front of the palace, not to mention that Lu Jue has a special status and enjoys various honors, and can be treated equally with the princes and nobles. However, he seems to be deliberately avoiding suspicion, and every time he goes to court, he will go to court at the same time as someone in the same position.

King Luo didn't intend to remind him, just nodded, turned to the eunuch Guo Sheng and gave an order, stood up and took a step, walked to Lu Jue and said, "I haven't talked to you for a long time, so let's go for a walk together." After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the Cheng'an Gate located in the east.

"Yes" Lu Jue glanced at his back very vigilantly, took a deep breath and suppressed the strangeness in his heart and followed.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, King Luo glanced slightly sideways, Lu Jue lowered his head and looked blurred, unable to see what he was thinking, so he slowed down and waited for him to catch up, and said: "The Han family's great revenge has been avenged, Han Hou and the eldest princess must be grateful, and they will definitely remember this great favor!" ”

The words pun Lu Jue heard the individual meaning, turned his head to look at him, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The minister is just doing this is just his duty to enforce the law impartially, and he doesn't expect anyone to be grateful." ”

Hearing this, King Luo stopped, glanced at Lu Jue with unusual eyes, and asked, "I heard that you are going to go out of Beijing." ”

Although he had been prepared for a long time to ask like this, Lu Jue was still a little at a loss when he suddenly asked like this, frowned slightly, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"This king hasn't heard of any cases that need to be investigated, and even if there is, you don't have to go to Siqing in person." Saying that, King Luo looked ahead with a faint gaze, and a somewhat desolate smile floated on his face.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jue couldn't help but be a little surprised, it is said that he should be happy that his plan succeeded, shouldn't it be so? Stopped, packed up his emotions and replied: "The prince knows that the minister is a young man, and he should have married him long ago but it has been delayed for three years, since the minister is in good health, why bother to make gaffes again and again, the wedding date is approaching, and I have asked Your Majesty for grace." ”

King Luo looked back at Lu Jue, who was parked behind him, and asked, "When do you plan to leave?" ”

Lu Jue replied: "The minister has asked the emperor for resignation and has been graciously approved, and he will leave Beijing after arranging the affairs of his subordinates." ”

King Luo's smile deepened, and he said in an accentuated tone: "So suddenly, it shouldn't be because you heard some rumors and deliberately avoided trouble!" ”

Lu Jue's complexion fluctuated slightly, and he reluctantly smiled: "Chen has suffered from heart palpitations since he was a child, and he is a person who has not been alive for a long time, where did he come from so much thought. I just don't want to have a regret when I return. ”

can be so clever without involving Zhou Wenfeng, it seems that he has a lot of thoughts, so it's the best! King Luo couldn't help but feel comforted. But there are still some things that need to be reminded, and his eyes looked deeply at Lu Jue and said: "Huiji will be injured!" You should understand what I mean. ”

Lu Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "What the prince said is the case of witch Gu. ”

King Luo immediately changed his face and reprimanded solemnly: "Don't rely on your own wisdom to have nothing to fear, you know the emperor's temper, and you also know the taboo in his heart about this case, dare to bring up this matter again if he doesn't know anything, fortunately, there is no danger this time, it doesn't mean that you will be so lucky next time!" ”

King Luo's attitude of still focusing on himself made Lu Jue a little trance, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure and saluted: "The minister did something stupid to make the prince worried, but the minister was too young to think about it as well as the prince, in order to calm the assassination case, the minister was anxious this time." ”

King Luo snorted lightly and said, "Although it is said that you know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but with the information you have obtained in the past few years, can you really master everything?" When I was young, I thought that it was not enough to do a few stupid things, but the price to pay was painful, and the human heart was separated from the belly after all, remembering that people can be used but never trusted. ”

After listening to his words, Lu Jue's heart rippled like a stone thrown from a flat lake, and he felt sarcastic and reluctantly smiled quietly and asked, "After so many years, can the prince still be convincing?" ”

King Luo was slightly stunned, looked at him for a moment, suddenly laughed loudly, avoided his gaze, closed his eyes and muttered: "I just hope to live up to my original intention!" He lowered his head and stared at the hand that was already clenched, and he couldn't tell what it was, but he felt full of sadness.

Faced with this situation, Lu Jue didn't know what to say, even if he was full of righteous indignation, he didn't know where to start. Stood there silently, not knowing what to do.

"Brother Lu, I thought you left early, but I didn't expect it to be too late." This sudden voice broke the static situation, and the two looked over, only to see Yao Minghao walking over with a smile.

Lu Jue frowned slightly and looked at this person, and muttered in a low voice: "Ming Hao." "It seems to have come by coincidence!

Yao Minghao strode up to the two of them, and saluted King Luo with a fist: "The young general Yao Minghao has seen the prince. When King Luo responded, he straightened up and asked, "The prince lives in Xicheng, how can he go to the east gate with Brother Lu?" ”

King Luo smiled kindly and didn't answer, but asked, "You are not on duty in the palace, what are you doing here?" ”

"Oh, I changed shifts with Deputy Commander Xiao." Xiang Lu Jue winked and said, "My old lady's plum blossom tea has been drunk for several days, and a few days ago I went to ask Brother Lu's mansion for a door god, and I didn't go in at all when I held the door handle so tightly." I finally saw it today, and naturally I chased it cheekily. ”

Lu Jue smiled and said with a little teasing: "When did you learn to understand the rules?" ”

Yao Minghao scratched his head and said with a smile: "The master told me not to disobey, otherwise the skin and flesh will suffer again." ”

King Luo smiled and said: "It's good to know the rules, I'll rest assured that you will send it back if you Brother Lu has it, remember not to quarrel with him." ”

Yao Ming responded happily: "Yes." ”

King Luo glanced at the two of them, turned around and walked back and said, "Guo Sheng is back home." ”

"Yes." Guo Sheng stretched out his hand to help King Luo sit on the step, shook off the dust and said, "Get up the sedan chair." ”

King Luo raised his hand to stop it, turned his head to look at Lu Jue and taught, "Ziyu, go to my house to say goodbye to your parents-in-law before leaving Beijing, and don't forget filial piety for your children." I also have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Lu Jue held his hand and saluted: "Yes." ”

"Let's go"

The two bowed together and said, "Congratulations to the prince." ”

Seeing people walking away, Yao Minghao patted his chest and said with a look of the rest of his life: "Finally left, how could it be so coincidental." Turning his head and seeing Lu Jue in a distant trance, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Jue's elbow and said, "Don't think about it, let's go!" The eldest princess is still waiting for you outside the Donghua Gate. Without him speaking, he pulled him forward.

Lu Jue looked back at King Luo, who was getting farther and farther away, and then looked at Yao Minghao, who came so coincidentally, and his heart turned a thousand times.

King Luo, who was generally in the same mood as him on the way home, closed his eyes and leaned on the step to think a lot. Guo Sheng saw that his master was in a bad mood, and immediately became indignant: "If it weren't for the prince, how could Lu Jue be today, so ignorant of the prince, why bother with this person." ”

Hearing this, King Luo opened his eyes, squinted at him, and said: "He is the crown prince, I am a courtier, he will ascend the throne as the emperor one day, do you think this king should be heartfelt for him?" ”

Guo Sheng snorted, and said contemptuously: "The prince said that he was the crown prince, so he sat in the East Palace." Only the prince has the final say on who he is, if he knows how to lift, the prince can naturally turn a blind eye. But he didn't know who was the master, and thought that if he climbed the eldest princess and Han Hou, even if he climbed the high branches, why should the prince raise him again. ”

King Luo smiled deeply, held his chin and said, "Do you really think that he is still the conceited teenager he was back then?" Now he is not yesterday, and his performance in the court today alone has already shown his means. Although his body determines his character, don't really think of him as a good person. ”

Guo Sheng leaned forward, stretched his head upward, and said with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Bai Jiu has been planted for several years and when it is useful, it is better to let him dispose of him!" Solve the prince's worries. ”

King Luo glared at him fiercely and said: "This matter has its own plan in the king's heart, and I will not mention it again in the future, if I let this king see that you have a slight change, it will make your life worse than death." ”

"The slave speculates in vain about the master's mind but is presumptuous, and he doesn't want to see the master、、、、、、"

"Shut up." Leaning back to his back, he closed his eyes again.
