On the top of a small hill, Emperor Lerma looked at the lights in the distance, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "My world, my people, my Luoyang......"

The cold wind of early autumn blew, but the emperor did not feel cold at all, inhaled deeply, and then slowly exhaled, his heart and mind opened up in an instant, quite a chaotic meaning of swallowing thousands of miles.

"The Yin Mountain in the north, the barbarians in the south, Kunlun in the west, the Canghai Sea in the east, and the rivers and mountains of the Tiancheng Dynasty must be expanded by me...... Huangfu Rank, tell me, how do I compare with the first emperor? ”

Everyone stopped far away on the hillside, the Huangfu steps and others were slightly ahead, heard their names, hurriedly dismounted, ran to the emperor's side quickly, and said with a smile: "The first emperor set the foundation, Your Majesty will keep it, it will be difficult to keep it, Your Majesty still has the strength to expand the territory, naturally it is even more difficult, in the eyes of the ministers......"

The Emperor sneered, "It's painful to lie, isn't it?" Difficult is difficult, easy is easy, what does it mean to be 'in your mind'? Don't you know what you're saying? ”

Huangfu opened his bow left and right, and slapped himself twice, "I'm so stupid that I dare to play tricks in front ......of Your Majesty, and forget that Your Majesty is smart and wise."

"Get out."

Huangfu really rolled down from the top of the mountain with his head in his hands, and was helped up by the servants, and he actually had a smile on his face, as if he had just escaped a difficulty.

He did escape, the emperor's clothes were still stained with blood, he really hated Luo Zheng, he hated it so much that he even slashed more than a dozen times, and the person was out of breath, and he still refused to stop.

He had now swept away his hatred, rode on horseback, stood on the mountain, and didn't care about the hundreds of attendants behind him, looking into the distance, immersed in his own country.

Lou Qiao whispered to himself: "I've already killed someone, I should be in a better mood tonight......"

"Just ask." Standing next to the building, step forward.

Lou Qiang was taken aback, his face changed suddenly, he grabbed Lou Ji's arm, tried to lower his voice as much as possible, and said viciously: "Boy, if you want to die to find a place to go, don't bother me here." ”

Lou Ji did not insist on moving forward, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and this trip may not anger Shangguan." ”

"your 'blessings and misfortunes', and leave me here honestly." Seeing his younger brother retreat to his original place, Lou Qiang said again: "Just this time, don't want to follow next time." ”

Lou Ji smiled, and didn't make any more noise.

Before dawn, the emperor returned to the palace, the guards dispersed, and the servants of the Lou family were still waiting in the alley, and when they saw the master coming back, they came forward to pay respects, "The third master came back early today." ”

Leaving the emperor, Lou Qiang became amiable again, and let out a long sigh, "Yes, Shangguan didn't stay outside tonight, so it was earlier." You've been waiting for a long time, let's go home and have a good drink. ”

"Haha, we don't have anything, it's the third master who works hard."

"Everyone must wait for the third master, you can't just drink, you have to find a few fans."

"Where to find it at this time? I remembered, there is really one, you go home and wait for me. ”

Everyone flattered constantly, Lou Hard happily smiled, did not forget his younger brother, came to Lou Ji, and said with a smile: "Okay, the Lou family has such a bold boy as you, keep it, don't make trouble, you have a bright future." ”

"The foolish brother is imprisoned." Lou Ji reminded.

Lou Jian waved his hand disapprovingly, "Little problem, if my father really wants to protect you, no matter how big the crime is, it's a big deal to change your background and recognize someone else as your biological mother." Let's go, let's two brothers have a good drink, don't get drunk. ”

"The third brother is gracious, and I don't dare to disobey, but I have to go back to the General's Mansion and meet my father as soon as possible."

"What are you going to say to your father? No, don't say anything to me. If you have something to do, I won't keep you, I'll send someone to send you back, and our brothers will come and go more in the future, haha. Lou slapped his younger brother on the shoulder, in a good mood.

"Of course. The foolish brother said goodbye and waited at home for his brother to summon him. ”

The smile on Lou Hard's face froze suddenly, "Summon? You mean to summon you to drink? ”

"Follow my brother to escort you."

Lou Gang stretched out two huge palms and pressed them on Lou Ji's shoulders, very close to his neck, as if he was about to pinch hard, "Only this once, there will be no second time, even if my father orders it, it won't work." You'd better keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense in front of your father. ”

"Don't dare to talk nonsense."

Lou Qiang's expression slowed slightly, and he withdrew his arm, "You don't understand, no one can guess Shangguan's thoughts, tonight is unremarkable, catch up with Shangguan really lost his temper - you said that you can't be beaten." ”

A minister who has been removed from office was hacked to death, and it turned out to be just "prosaic".

Lou Ji arched his hand, "Let my father call the shots." ”

"Father...... I'll go back with you. Lou Hard had no intention of drinking, turned over with the help of the servants, and did not return to his house, but went straight to the General's Mansion.

All the servants lost a good meal, and they all complained in their hearts that the seventeenth prince was ignorant.

The general was still asleep, and the two brothers waited a while until dawn before him.

Lou Wen was wearing wide underwear, with a gloomy face, and the two thin maids rubbed their arms and backs vigorously to help the master relax his muscles and invigorate his blood, behind him, the concubine who slept last night was hiding in the quilt.

The two brothers saluted, Lou Wen yawned a lot, and said coldly: "It's better to disturb my dreams early in the morning, it's better to have something important." Third, what are you doing? As I said earlier, don't come to me so as not to be suspicious. ”

"I have a little different thoughts from Brother Seventeen, I have to hear what he has to say."

Lou Wen finally raised his head, looked at his two sons for a while, and snorted a laugh in his mouth, "Are you afraid that he won't be a hairy boy?" ”

Lou said urgently: "I'm not afraid of him, I'm afraid that he will talk nonsense and make a wrong decision for my father, you don't know, he actually stepped forward last night to ...... directly to the official."

Lou Wen coughed, stopped his son from talking, waved his hand and ordered the two maids to step back, twisted around and slapped on the quilt, "You also leave." ”

"I didn't wear ......," whispered the man who was hit.

"Isn't there a quilt? Wrap it tightly. Hurry up, I'm out of energy right now, I don't want to throw you out. ”

Concubine Ji didn't dare to argue, so she had to wrap the quilt around her body, even her head, only a gap was exposed to peek out, bypassed the general and went to the ground, walked awkwardly, hit the bed rail, almost fell, grabbed the quilt, and ran out of the room in small steps.

Lou Hard's gaze followed the roll as he moved, imagining the scene inside, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Lou Wenshun grabbed the pillow and threw it at his son, and said angrily: "Is there a shortage of women in your family?" The idea of hitting the people around me. ”

Lou Qiang was woken up by a pillow and hurriedly retracted his gaze, "I was afraid that she would fall, so I didn't make up my mind...... The seventeenth brother has something to say. ”

"What do you see?" Lou Wen yawned again, still in a bad mood.

"Today's ambition is high, beyond the reach of ordinary people." The opening of the building foundation.

"Hmph." Lou Wen is not interested.

"And the imperial minister has skills, and there is no room for delicate mustard in his eyes, although he left the palace late at night, he arranged it very properly, and the child did not see the collider along the way."

Lou Jian couldn't help but interject: "This still needs to be observed? Just ask me. It's not Shangguan who arranges all this, it's the Huangfu rank, he has no other skills, and he has a set of cards to open the way, do you think Shangguan's guards are only us? No, no, there are many more people you don't see at all...... My father had known these things for a long time. ”

Lou Wen snorted again, raised his hand and motioned for Lou Ji to continue.

"The Son of Heaven not only has great ambitions, but also great talents, children have also traveled inside and outside Luoyang, although many palaces and ditches are not completed, but the whimsical ideas continue, after completion, everywhere is the scenery."

"If you want to see this, you don't have to run with Shangguan again." Lou Jian added.

"According to you, the Son of Heaven has no shortcomings?" Lou Wen asked, still not interested.

"The Son of Heaven is superior in everything, but there is only one thing, and he is impatient."

"What's the downside? Your Majesty is impatient, but only those of us who often accompany you can feel it, and it has nothing to do with people like you. "If you don't come, you can't let your younger brother speak freely in front of his father.

"The urgency of the husband is nothing more than grabbing the sky and the earth, or speaking viciously to each other, or adding fists and feet, recklessly angering, and fighting for a while; The urgency of the scholars, but to write to express their anger, or desperately write to invite names, or bend the law to harm others, grievances and grievances are selfish, and every account is clearly calculated; If the Son of Heaven happens to be 'wise enough to refuse advice, and his words are enough to disguise wrong', then he will do more harm and not introspect, and the poison will be deeper and he will not know it......"

"I'm really afraid that you readers, as soon as you open your mouth, you will talk at length, and you don't know what you want to say." Lou Jian muttered quietly.

Lou Wen didn't like to hear it, and frowned: "To be blunt, just tell your judgment, what does Your Majesty think of the Lou family?" ”

"The Son of Heaven will repay him, although he is anxious, he can endure it. According to what the child saw, the Son of Heaven must eradicate the Lou family, and he will eradicate it, leaving no one. ”

Lou Hard laughed, "Hear it, father, I told you yesterday that the seventeenth brother has grown up and is eager to get rid of his confinement, so he must be alarmist in order to please his father." I'm not wrong, right? ”

Lou Wen snorted again, "It's really alarmist. When do you think Your Majesty will do it? ”

The general actually wants to ask, Lou Jian is very confused, he glanced at Lou Ji, he is very dissatisfied, he is usually willing to risk the most contact with the emperor is him, Lou Ji has only seen the emperor once, and he dares to claim that he sees through the emperor's mind.

"It will be before the great general goes on the expedition." Floor Road.

"That's less than a month." Lou Wen suddenly laughed loudly, his clothes slipped off, revealing half of his fat body, "My child, your courage is indeed not small, this is what I like, if it comes to looking at people, you are too far away - the emperor kills me at this time, who will command the 100,000 army?" Who will exterminate the thieves in Qinzhou? And who will ask for punishment from the shepherds? There are also the disgruntled former citizens of Wu State, and He Rongbu, who is always ready to go south to herd horses...... The world is not yet peaceful, and the emperor dares to kill me? ”

Lou Gang nodded again and again, and added: "And Your Majesty's mind is not on our Lou family at all, and he has always thought that the general is his safe backer." If you see Your Majesty a few more times, you will understand that Your Majesty's behavior is just the opposite of ordinary people, if he beats and scolds you, that is willing to forgive you, if you don't squeak, or even comfort you, that is resentment, sooner or later, what happened to Luo Yuen is proof. ”

After his father and brother finished speaking, Lou Ji spoke: "When today's son is 'too famous', the actual ability is not important, the important thing is that he thinks he is omnipotent, and he thinks that he can replace the general to lead the army. ”

"Your Majesty has never led troops, let alone revealed the slightest idea of the royal expedition. The more you talk, the less you get involved. Lou shook his head.

Lou Wen thought more, staring at the seventeenth son, "Liu Youzhong said that you 'shut up and be virtuous, open your mouth in troubled times' - you kid didn't deliberately provoke Lao Tzu to rebel, right?" ”
