In the courtyard of the city patrol overgrown with pomegranate trees in Daming Palace, Guo Tuo, whose beard and hair have turned gray, is holding a gourd, scooping water and drinking in the water tank.

Then he turned around and waved his big hand, "Sons, quickly hold the whistle stick for me to patrol the city, and get ready to fight the spine!" ”

After saying that, Guo Forging personally came to the bar bar, pulled out the extremely thick root, and when he said that this root was good, he immediately danced, hit his forehead, and the blood flowed endlessly, and he fell down.

Soon, the shouts of "Guo Jinwu drew a stick and injured himself by mistake" spread all over the courtyard, and the children were in a mess.

The emperor who received the reward for "Guo Foran's dog-footed thief" was furious, knowing that Guo Forging was actually passing the buck, so he asked other generals and soldiers and horses to call the city patrol supervisor to replace him.

However, before he got his wish, he heard that the generals of the Shenwei Army, led by the veteran Zhang Wanfu, also ran outside the Yanying Gate, bowed to Yangcheng, Wang Zhongshu and others, and then shouted together, "There are direct ministers in the court, and the world is really peaceful!" He shouted as he walked, lest others would not hear him.

In the end, the emperor was helpless, and he also knew that if he killed Lu Zhen immediately, it would hurt his image too much, so he sat in the hall and said to Wei Zhiyi, a scholar of Hanlin, "You make a document, and Lu Zhen will be reduced to Daozhou Sima, and then Yangcheng will be degraded to Youzhou Assassin History." ”

As a result, Wei Zhiyi also raised his hand at this moment, saying that it was really difficult for the ministers to obey the edict.

Soon, Wei Zhiyi also returned the long-borrowed horse, took off his scarlet clothes and silverfish charms, and walked out of the palace from the academy, preparing to go to Jianzhou, Fujian as a Sima as long as he does not go to Lingnan).

The emperor looked at it, and there was only one Li Jifu left.

"Hongxian, you write. After writing this, you are the Bachelor of Commitment. ”

"The minister can write it, but the minister still has to say to His Majesty that this move is not appropriate, and if something happens in the future, I am afraid that His Majesty's holy face will be lost." Li Jifu said very calmly.

"Hongxian, even you want to go to Yuanzhou as Sima?"

"It is impossible for the minister to go to the bottom, otherwise His Majesty can only call Liu De and Quan Deyu of the Zhongshu House to make the edict, and they are invoked by Gao Yue." Li Jifu's face did not change.

"Then Hongxian, you write first, Lu Jiuzhen won't kill him"

"What the minister is worried about is, if Gao Yue and Wei Gao are in trouble, what should Your Majesty do?"

"Then what do you say I should do?"

"Please stay a step further, Your Majesty."

Li Jifu's words made the emperor fall into deep thought.

When the emperor's derogatory text came to Lu Zhen's mansion, Lu Zhen listened to it very calmly, and then bowed down and said to the envoy who read it, "The Son of Heaven is Shengming, the ministers should be punished, and they are lucky. ”

After speaking, Lu Zhen took over the book.

The lieutenant sighed and reminded Lu Zhen, "Lu Sima must not stay, hurry to the post station and get up, but-maybe the Son of Heaven will change his mind and call you back again?" In short, take care. ”

When the envoy left, Lu Zhen's wife and son Jian Li all knelt beside Lu Zhen crying.

Lu Zhen persuaded the two of them, "Soon, you have to go to Daozhou with me, thousands of miles away, I am tired." As a left-handed official, even in Daozhou, I am afraid that I can only live in a simple place and sweep the road behind closed doors to avoid suspicion. All the disciples and the Kunzhong brothers are not allowed to associate with each other, and all the friends."

"Husband, your friends, there are only two of them, Wei Gao and Gao Yue." Madame said as she cried.

Lu Zhen laughed and said If I can come back, it will also be up to these two, you two can rest assured, I must see that a traitor like Pei Yanling will not end well and will not die easily.

Then he said to his wife, Pei Yanling can't catch me, you have a close relationship with Jingzhao Yin Li Chong's wife on weekdays, and I'm afraid that Pei Yanling will start from here and frame me.

"If you die, you will die by your husband's side." Lu Zhen's wife is also strong, and she said it immediately.

Lu Zhen nodded, his feelings have always been very subtle and introverted, but at this time, he didn't cry when he thought of his wife and children, and he didn't cry when he thought of his friends, but when he thought of the emperor, he couldn't help crying He remembered that at that time, he was by the emperor's side, sticking to Fengtian City, the rebels were besieging on all sides, and the emperor was shrinking in the city wall and the bell tower, with that kind of expression, he witnessed it with his own eyes.

That's why the emperor said at that time that when he saw Lu Jiu, I felt at ease.

When Lu Zhen's mother was still alive, the emperor would send pastries, and he would also come to visit in person, and he wanted to eat a bite of the soup made by Lu's mother, and then his face was full of happiness.

But it is precisely because of this that the emperor is now full of anger when he hears him talk about Mukden again, right?

"The Lord has made me with His own hands, but He has also destroyed me with His own hands. I have no regrets, I just feel that my life is not at the right time. Then Lu Zhen taught his son a simple lesson, "When you become an adult, if you can enter the Shiden Dynasty, remember not to repeat the mistakes of being a father, just transfer and serve in the shogunate in various places, don't come to Beijing, let alone stay by the side of the Son of Heaven as an official." ”

When Lu Zhen got up, Li Jifu of the East Academy came to the bathroom hall and said to the emperor, "The minister requests to be discharged." ”

"Hmm" The emperor who was lying on the bed hesitated, "Hongxian, you want to leave too?" ”

Li Jifu said: "Please Your Majesty, please release the ministers to be the assassin of Daozhou." ”

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly turned his head.

The shadow of the curtain shrouded Li Shi's face, and he couldn't see it clearly.

Daozhou Assassin Shi, that is, Daozhou Sima's superior.

Then Li Jifu said earnestly: "If there is a minister assassinating Daozhou, no one will be able to harm Lu Jingyu." ”

In the curtain, the emperor slowly lay down, "hummed" for a long time, and said That's okay, I won't take away your Li Jifu's ambition.

As a result, the door of Zhongshu was empty, and even the Hanlin Academy was empty.

The emperor sat alone in the empty Jinluan Hall for a long, long time, without the prime minister and the scholars of Hanlin.

Even Jia Tan politely refused to return to the court.

The emperor asked the female scholars and sisters of the Song family to "summon all the scribes of Zhongshu Province to me." ”

Soon the scribes knelt in front of the emperor with their stakes in their arms.

The emperor personally dictated the decree and asked the scribe to copy it down, and then sent it directly to Shangshu Province and the temple supervisors.

One of the scribes was a scribe who could write well and could figure out the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor asked him what his name was.

"Cheap name." The young scribe hastened to kowtow in reply.

The Emperor slowly leaned back, deeply savoring the taste of being alone.

It's hard to tell if it's good or bad

At the Duting Station, the clever and treacherous Li Jifu wrote another letter to Pei Yanling before leaving, saying that he was mainly responsible for Lu Zhen's capital crime to bring down Gao Yue, but then angered the Holy Lord, so he had a trip to Daozhou. At that time, as long as Xiao Pei informs me, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill Lu Zhen when I am in charge of Daozhou Assassin History.

Pei Yanling, who got Li Jifu's secret letter, had a private meeting in the mansion with Li Qiyun, Li Shi, Li Fan, etc., he was very happy, but he was also very fanatical, he felt that he should kill people at this time to be at ease, "No matter what, we have to find a way to let the Holy Lord send an envoy to catch up with Lu Jiu and kill him at the post station!" ”

"Bachelor Pei, don't worry, even if Lu Jiu arrives in Daozhou, then Li Jifu will take the opportunity to find a reason to kill him." Li Qiyun was unimpressed.

"No, Li Jifu is soft and deceitful, his words are not very credible, it is better to kill Lu Jiu in the middle of the way, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy." Pei Yanling insisted on his own opinion.

But at this time, an eyeliner who rushed from Yangzhou stumbled and told Pei Yanling an earth-shattering news: "In Xuanzhou of the town navy, there are tea lords and salt lords to make trouble, and Runshuai scolded the quarryman Wang Qizhen to catch and clean up, but Wang took the opportunity to sell the quarrying - led Gao Yue's three thousand Wuyi troops to cross the river!" ”

"Ahh When Pei Yanling heard this, she screamed and almost fainted.
