Emperor Tiancheng likes to pay private visits to micro-services, and finally got himself into trouble.

One night a few days earlier, the Emperor was galloping through the alley with a group of guards, and the Assassin descended from the sky, stabbed the third knight with a sword, and then shouted "Die to the faint king", and tried to flee with a sword, but was captured by the guards who rushed up to him.

The emperor was first shocked, and then furious, because the third knight was supposed to be him, but on a whim, he ran to the front, and only escaped this fate.

The Assassin not only calculated the time and path, but also knew the Emperor's usual position, which can only be explained by the fact that there was a traitor among the guards.

This is what made the emperor angry the most, and immediately returned to the palace, imprisoned all the more than 100 guards with him, and unabated his anger, and imprisoned more guards on the periphery, and sent his henchmen to interrogate them one by one, and it was necessary to find out the ungrateful traitors.

The assassin was seriously injured, first treated by the imperial doctor, and then tortured, no one knew what he confessed, in short, the emperor issued an order, the whole city was searched, and immediately added a decree, the whole Luozhou should be searched, and it would be better to indulge in vain.

More and more people were arrested, and more people were suspected, and the general Lou Wen was one of them, he was about to lead the army to Qinzhou, but a paper edict came down, the western expedition was suspended, the general entered the palace to guard, and the army that had been assembled in Luoyang was taken over by the deputy general.

The general of the Chinese army, Lou Hard, has been imprisoned with other guards, and the general has not come out after entering the palace, and the Lou family has lost its backbone all of a sudden, and everyone is terrified and does not know what to do.

At the critical moment, Mrs. Lan stood up, first through the relationship of the queen mother, sent a letter to her husband, Lou Wen replied, saying that she was still safe, although Lou Qiang was in prison, he did not suffer, and the whole family was finally a little relieved.

The general wrote another letter, ordering all the children and grandchildren of the family to go out of the city to join the army, and the battalion's own generals arranged for them, which was not only to show loyalty to the imperial court, but also to arrange a way out.

"Where have you been these days? Everyone is in a hurry. Lou Shuo asked angrily, although his anxiety had little to do with this younger brother.

"Take a trip around Luoyang and visit the people."

Lou Shuo frowned, "You are really leisurely, and you don't tell you in advance when you leave home." Come on, they all say you're smart, you give everyone an idea. ”

"Foolish brothers, only the brothers are the first to look forward." The building base is shirked.

Lou Shuo didn't really ask his younger brother to come up with an idea, so he sighed, returned to the middle of the crowd, and continued: "Whether to go or stay, everyone expresses their opinions, whose turn was it just now?" ”

"Of course you are leaving, why are you staying here? Waiting to die? One of the brothers immediately expressed his opinion, waited for everyone's eyes to converge, and added: "Isn't the situation still unclear?" His Majesty nominally summoned the general to the palace to guard, but in fact, he was seizing the general's military power, and sending new generals to the barracks every day, and if this continues, we will not be protected here. ”

"Yes, Bingzhou, Jingzhou, and Wuzhou all have people from our family as officials, so it's better to go and defect."

"It is the best in the state, Shen Mushou and the Lou family have been friends for many years, so they will not fall into the ground."

Not everyone wants to escape from the Eastern Capital, "Can't go, let's go, where will the general be?" Wouldn't it make His Majesty even more suspicious of the Lou family? ”

"The general wrote a handwritten letter asking us to leave Beijing."

"The general means to let us join the army and make meritorious contributions to show loyalty, not to let us escape."

"Hey, I haven't seen how close you are to the general, but at this time, I know the general's mind better than others?"

Regarding the original intention of the general, the two factions quarreled endlessly, and neither of them refused to give in.

Lou Shuo was already anxious, and someone happened to invite him to the meeting, Lou Ji raised his arms and said in a loud voice: "What's the use of arguing?" Think about it. When I come back, you will give me a letter. ”

Lou Shuo snorted and strode out of the tent.

The crowd was silent for a while, and one said, "Who does he think he is?" The third brother is not here, so he thinks he can be the master of the house? ”

"It's just that you can't even come up with an idea, and you still want to take care of the house? Joke. ”

Everyone arranged for a while, and quarreled again, but they still couldn't convince each other, and they were all afraid of taking responsibility and didn't dare to go their own way.

Lou Ji stood in the corner without saying a word, and no one asked for his opinion.

When the meal time came, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the building was left behind, sitting on a small stool and waiting silently.

Lou Shuo entered the tent and saw that it was empty, and was stunned for a moment, "Where did everyone go?" I'm running around here, I'm dying, and they're at ease. Seventeen, you go and call everyone back, and you have to come up with a solution today anyway. ”

Lou Ji got up and said: "Obviously someone can call the shots, why do you still have to argue?" ”

"Who can call the shots? I can't. Lou Shuo immediately cleared his responsibilities and looked at Lou Ji, "You can't do it even more." ”

Lou Ji smiled: "Of course it's not me, it's the general's wife." ”

Lou Shuo frowned, and said after a while: "Madame is in the city, let's ...... outside the city."

"So someone has to go into the city, one is to ask Madame, and the other is to inquire about the situation in the palace, if the situation is clear, the idea will naturally be there."

"You've got a good idea, but who's going to get back to the city? It's not safe at home right now......"

"Foolish brother is willing to go."

Lou Shuo's expression became much kinder, and he said with a smile: "It's really the most suitable for you, because you weren't at home before, so you don't have to obey the general's military orders." ”

Early in the morning, Lou Shuo almost couldn't wait to send servants to send Lou Ji back to the city.

The search in the city has ended, and there are still not many pedestrians on the street, all of them are in a hurry, and they don't look up when they see acquaintances, let alone say hello.

It was rare that there were no carriages and horses waiting in front of the General's Mansion, and the streets seemed much wider than usual.

I wanted to see that the lady had to be informed layer by layer, and the building was the same as ordinary guests, waiting in the gatehouse, accompanied by four door-guarding servants, without the flying and domineering of the past, and his expression was as sluggish as if he was in mourning.

Lou Ji thought that he would wait here for a while, but it didn't take long for the order to come out, asking the seventeenth prince to enter the back hall to meet his wife.

Since he was seven or eight years old, Lou Ji has not entered the backyard again, when he was a young child, he could go in and out of this place at will, and called Mrs. Lan "mother" loudly, until he was six years old, he realized that his biological mother was the princess of Wu Guo who occasionally met.

After that, he didn't speak for a few years, and he became more and more disliked by his elders, and he hardly saw Mrs. Lan again.

Mrs. Lan is old, but her body is still strong, standing under the corridor, and there are many maids standing beside her.

Lou Ji knelt down and said goodbye, "Child, Lou Ji meets Madame." ”

"Get up, you're coming back from the barracks outside the city?" Mrs. Lan's tone was indifferent, as if she had long forgotten this concubine she had raised for several years.

"The child went out to travel a few days ago, just returned to Beijing, saw the seventh brother in the barracks, and was appointed by the seventh brother to go home to visit his wife, and by the way, he asked for the next step: whether to stay in the camp or go to the other brother."

Mrs. Lan sneered, "Hundreds of the general's descendants have been together for several days, and they came up with such an idea: Go home and ask me an old woman's opinion? ”

"There are many people, and it is difficult to draw conclusions."

"Alas, I can't blame you all, one by one, you have not suffered, the general usually manages it strictly, you are all used to relying on your father and brother for protection, and you panic when you encounter something. Saburo is not here, otherwise ......"

"The general and the general of the Chinese army are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and they should be fine."

"Phew, since it's okay, you still want to escape?" Mrs. Lan said that if you are angry, you will be angry.

"Madame is angry, if the child wants to leave, he will not come into the city to see Madame."

Mrs. Lan's anger eased slightly, "At least you still know that when you come back, the others usually pretend to be filial, but at this time, they all pretend not to have this home, and they don't even care about their own mothers." ”

Mrs. Lan glanced left and right, and many concubines bowed their heads in shame.

"On the contrary, the children who lost their mothers came back voluntarily." Mrs. Lan still remembered Lou Ji, and she also knew that he was not sent back by Lou Shuo.

Mrs. Lan turned to enter the house, and a maid beckoned to the building, signaling that he could follow up, while the others remained outside.

Mrs. Lan took her seat, stood at the door, and bowed again.

Mrs. Lan was silent for a long time, and then said: "With the care of the Queen Mother, the general's father and son are temporarily worry-free in the palace, but Your Majesty ...... Alas, I watched His Majesty grow up from childhood to adulthood, and I could never guess what was going on in this child's mind. I am His Majesty's aunt, and the general's father and son are even more loyal, why can't I get his trust? On the contrary, it is a group of princes and princesses, who are regarded by him as cronies. Just because their surname is Zhang? But the surname Zhang is more dangerous, the princes of Guangling and Xiangdong, which one of them has no ambition to be the emperor? ”

Mrs. Lan talked about family affairs in the palace, but Lou Ji listened silently and did not answer.

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Lan softened her tone, "The Lou family will not fall, neither will the Lan family, the assassin will always speak, and when all the truth is revealed, Your Majesty will naturally understand who is loyal and who is traitor." The general was not treated badly in the palace, and Saburo was a little frightened, but it was not a big deal. The descendants of the Lou family can leave if they want to, stay if they want to, don't come back if they leave, and there is no reward for staying, because the Lou family is fine at all, it is all you mediocre people who disturb yourself. ”

The building still doesn't squeak.

Mrs. Lan looked at him for a while, "I've heard people say that among the generals, you are brave and strategic, and daring to go back to the city is considered brave, where is the plan?" ”

Lou Ji arched his hand and said: "The child has an idea, please make a decision." ”

"Let's hear it first."

"The general and the general of the Chinese army are innocent, Your Majesty will understand this sooner or later, but sooner or later, the result is very different, Your Majesty is decisive by nature, if you listen to slander, you may make a judgment too early, and regret it afterwards, it is useless for the Lou family."

"Who dares to slander?" Mrs. Lan said angrily.

Lou Ji was silent, and Mrs. Lan muttered to herself: "There will always be slander around the emperor. What do you say? ”

"Please enter the palace at once and stay by the side of the Queen Mother day and night. Although the queen mother is taking care of the general's father and son, she is not as attentive as the lady and the princess, in case His Majesty is angry, the lady and the princess can still dissuade them as family members. ”

The princess is Lou Hard's wife, although she is not born and raised by the queen mother, but with her identity, it is more convenient to enter the palace.

"Do you think I don't want to enter the palace? I have written many times, but I have not been allowed to do so. ”

"The situation is urgent, please don't care about etiquette, go to the palace gate to beg the queen mother, you have to see someone."

Mrs. Lan pondered for a moment, "At my age, I still care about etiquette and face, it's just ...... Is it really going to come this far? ”

The foundation of the building is handed over, "If the lady can enter the palace, this is a family matter, and if she can't enter the palace, it is a state matter, and the family affairs can be asked for and persuaded, and the state law is not merciful." ”

Mrs. Lan suddenly got up and said, "Thanks to your words, I almost missed a big thing." There is no need to go to the palace gate to beg, tomorrow is the birthday of the Queen Mother, she is going to burn incense and worship the Buddha on the Great Huguo Temple, I am dying next to the Queen Mother, and I want her to take me and the princess into the palace! ”

Mrs. Lan understood things more than expected, a stone fell to the ground in Lou Ji's heart, family affairs first, this is what he could do, and then, he had to go to see Ma Wei as soon as possible to deal with another more troublesome matter.
