Chapter 24: Filial Son

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Seeing the cramped and uneasy appearance of the building, the emperor laughed, "There are thousands of people who want to get close to me, you are just one of them, what is there to be nervous about?" ”

Lou Ji smiled, "At first glance, no one is not nervous. ”

The emperor's expression suddenly became cold, "Luo Yushi died unjustly. ”

"Huh?" Lou Ji was caught off guard by this sentence.

"Luo Zheng was originally an official, picking the emperor's mistakes is one of his duties, and being cowardly and silently is a big crime, but anyone who writes a book, even if he says something wrong, should be encouraged, not killed."

"Your Majesty......" Lou Ji didn't know how to answer, he knew that the most suitable choice at this time was to thank the emperor for the officials of the Imperial Historical Stage, and even claimed that Luo Zhengquan should be grateful if he knew it, but he really couldn't say it.

The emperor waited for a while, then smiled again, "Although we are brothers, you and the fat man are not the same way. ”

"My brother is calm, beyond my reach."

"Haha, except for the body, the hard fat man has no place to touch with calmness. But you're not really a loyal servant either. ”

"I ......"

"When I was angry at Luo's house, you were next to you, pretending to be a slave of a hard fat man, there was no dissuasion at the time, and there was no admonition afterwards, Luo Zheng is a loyal minister, you are not, you and the people present that night are not loyal ministers."

The building was speechless.

The emperor stared at the foundation of the building and said slowly: "Now that I'm in a good mood, what do you want to say?" ”

Lou Ji has promised to give up the opportunity to admonish the county lord of Huanyan, and he has just been identified as "not a loyal minister", at this time, no matter what he says, he can't escape the name of observing words and feelings, cowardice and swaying.

"I ...... There is nothing to say, only to think about your own mistakes and then give advice. ”

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to the eldest princess who was guarding the side, and said, "I told you earlier. ”

The eldest princess also smiled, "As soon as you open your mouth, you will press the 'disloyal' hat on others, don't say a cloth cloth, even if you are the prime minister of the court, you don't dare to say a word." ”

"Only after a good battle can you know who is the general, and if you can't pass my level, why do you claim to be a talent? It's good to have the world in mind, but you have to have the ability. The emperor got up, "Lou Ji, you are not suitable to stay here, go to Zhumamen in the future to stand by, go down." ”

Lou Ji thanked him, bowed down and exited the hall, and after going out, he could still hear the laughter inside.

Zhang Shiduan caught up from behind, walked with Lou Ji for a while, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh?"

"Why do you ...... Where's your usual eloquence? Thanks to us saying so badly, Your Majesty was a little disappointed, and the eldest princess was still a little annoyed. ”

"The timing is not right."

"You've met Your Majesty, what better time is there?"

"Your Majesty ordered me to go to Zhumamen to stand by, and if I follow it for a long time, I will have a better time."

"Well, you can choose the timing yourself, and I also know that Your Majesty is not easy to deal with. But-" Zhang Shiduan took two steps ahead and turned around to stop the building, "You don't just use us, I don't care, if you offend the eldest princess, it may end worse than annoying Your Majesty." ”

"No, I don't have to."

Zhang Shiduan smiled, "In the future, let's choose another place to meet, it's good to return to the garden, it's very close to me here and the General's Mansion." ”

"Always on call."

It was still Duan Siyong who sent Lou Ji home.

Lou Ji fell to sleep, only woke up in the afternoon, only felt a headache, his throat was dry as if it was on fire, drank a large sip of herbal tea, only a little more comfortable, and couldn't help but sympathize with Lou Hard, the third brother followed the emperor all year round and traveled at night, and the hardships he had suffered were difficult to calculate.

Lou Ji called the old servant and ordered him to go to the house to borrow a horse, "I want a good horse and a saddle." ”

"Huh? Will the house borrow it? I'm not going to be scolded, am I? ”

"Go and ask, don't borrow it."

The old servant reluctantly went out.

Lou Ji found the dagger, thought about it, and put it back, he had not yet gained the trust of the emperor, and he carried the murder weapon with him, and he was afraid that he would be searched out if he didn't wait to use it.

"Is Lou Gongzi at home? I know you're back in Beijing! Someone outside shouted.

Lou Ji knew that it was Zhou Lu as soon as he heard it, walked out of the house quickly, opened the courtyard door, and frowned: "You can't even knock on the door?" ”

"Knock on the door for fear that you will pretend not to be at home, go in and talk, and I'll pick you up and wash the dust." The two servants behind Zhou Lu showed off the food and wine they were carrying.

Lou Ji was hungry, let the guests in, after a big meal, said: "You come to me must have something, say, if you can help me, I will help, if you can't help, I will also make it clear." ”

"Refreshing, I like to deal with people like Lou Gongzi, everything is clear." Zhou Lu touted, motioned for the servant to step back, and finally got down to business, "This time it's not about writing articles, it's just a small favor, and I want someone to come out of the army." ”

Lou Ji was stunned, "My classmate has been a classmate for many years, you know me a little bit, how did you think of asking me for help?" ”

"Because only the general can release people, I want to find someone else in the Lou family to help, but they are all out of the city, so I have to look for you, and I heard that Lou Gongzi is not the same as in the past, and he is deeply favored by the general.

Lou Ji shook his head, "I can't help, I can't even see the face of the general, not to mention that the army is about to lead the army to the west, how can it be possible to release the soldiers when employing people?" ”

"This person has just received a visa, and he has not yet entered the camp, and he has also been issued in the past, and he can be exempted by paying money, but this time it will not work, the court is urging him tightly, and someone must arrive, and it is useless to pay the money."

"Why don't you join the army? The army of 100,000 is invincible, and the thieves can be pacified in Qinzhou in a year at most, and there is not much danger. ”

"He is not afraid of danger, this person is a filial son, and he is reluctant to leave his mother, so he ......"

"Who is it that makes you care so much?"

"I once mentioned it to you."

"Really?" The building base is not very impressive.

"This person's surname is Tian, a single name is a craftsman, a craftsman's craftsman, but he is not a craftsman, his ancestors were petty officials, leaving some industries, mother and son live on this, depend on each other, and live well, but as soon as he left, leaving the old mother without anyone to take care of him, I am afraid that he will not survive this winter......"

Lou Ji finally remembered, "This Tian Craftsman is the 'hero' you have always wanted to woo, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's him, I told you, you two are quite similar, soft and hard, I haven't even entered the door of his house. This time he asked for me, and if I help him with this, he will be able to use it for me in the future. ”

"Can't your father be exempted from military service as a field craftsman?"

"It was supposed to be possible, but after the assassination happened, the imperial court changed the generals in the army every day, so that no one dared to take care of things, and my father couldn't find anyone. And he didn't want to help. Zhou Lu was a little resentful, "He also asked me to be less nosy, so as not to get into trouble." But the stabbing driver has nothing to do with me or the field craftsman, what trouble can he cause? ”

"You'd love to befriend this craftsman?"

"Of course, I have inquired carefully, this field craftsman is not simple, he dared to use a knife at the age of twelve or thirteen, and he was invincible all over the front streets and alleys."

"A scoundrel boy?"

"It's a scoundrel, but he's different from other scoundrels, when he meets a child younger than him, or a woman, or an old man, he can't fight back, and the stronger the opponent, the more he won't back down, and he will continue to fight when he's bleeding. He also studied everywhere, and his skills were so strong that he could kill people with his bare hands - of course, I don't know if he killed anyone, but I just heard about it. ”

"Such a person should be sent to the army for training."

"I'm not done yet. When Tian Jiang was 20 years old, his father died, and before he died, he told his wife that Tian Jiang was fond of causing trouble, and sooner or later he would affect his family, and if he fought with others again, he would let his wife commit suicide and be buried to avoid future suffering. Tian Jiang was not at home that day, and when he came back, he listened to the neighbor's relay, and cried bitterly, and he really changed his sex, for eight years, he didn't do anything with anyone, and the enemy came to the door, and the knife was on his neck, and he refused to fight back. ”

"It's a strange man."

"That's right, so I'm going to do him a favor and let him do things for me with all his heart, and see who dares to touch a finger of me."

"He didn't fight back when he was beaten himself, how can he help you?"

"I've also inquired about this, the old lady is old, seriously ill, at most another year or two to live, this is why Tian Jiang is reluctant to join the army, and when the old mother dies, he will be the 'death' that was rampant in the eastern capital again."

"Death?"

"His nickname, just by that, you can imagine how good he is."

Lou Ji smiled, and listened to Zhou Lu's words at a discount, as for how much discount, it depended on the situation.

"How? Can you help? It's okay to have as much as you want, I really can't find anyone else, so I ask you for help. The last time, there was no next time. ”

"This signing is not as usual."

"Yes, I can't pay the money, Tian Jiang wants to escape, but his mother can't walk."

"The general may be able to waive his visa."

"That's why I'm begging you, the general is your father after all."

"You have to wait, until I see the general before I can speak."

"Of course, it's not too late, in five days, the field craftsman must go to the camp to report, and there will be no visa-free talk at that time."

"I don't guarantee that this will happen, and I don't even know when I will be able to meet the general."

"Others swear by the sky, I may not believe it, Lou Gongzi said 'maybe', I am grateful, whether it is successful or not, you can be regarded as a great favor for me."

Lou Ji looked at Zhou Lu in surprise, he didn't expect him to be so good at talking, "You don't have to come again, when I have news, I will send someone to invite you." ”

Zhou Lu got up and stretched out his hand into his arms, "Thank you, you accept this little thing, it's not a gift, it's for you to use up and down." ”

"No, I can't bribe the general."

"The king of Hades is easy to see, the little ghost is difficult, if you want to see the general, you have to give the 'little ghost' a little benefit." Zhou Lu put a small locket on the table, not noticing that he had just compared the general to the king of Hades.

Zhou Lu bowed his hand and took his leave.

Lou Ji opened the box, saw that it was full of pearls, closed the lid, turned his head to look at the place where the dagger was hidden, thought for a while, and decided to do it himself, no matter whether the Tian craftsman has the ability or not, the distant water can not quench the thirst of the near.

When the old servant came back, he really led a horse, and the saddle was complete, and he himself was very puzzled, "The house actually borrowed it, saying that it was not in a hurry to pay it back, and if you need anything, you can open your mouth at any time, what is going on?" ”

Of course, it was the order left by Mrs. Lan, Lou Ji didn't explain, and ordered the old servant to eat, before dark, he had to go to Zhumamen, he only needed to follow the emperor two or three times, and after figuring out the routine, he could do it.
