Chapter 17: The Deceased

(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Zhang Shiduan came back, didn't ask any more questions, saluted formally, got up and returned the salute, Zhou Lu also stood up, followed suit, with a smile on his face, and felt relieved.

Zhang Shiduan said: "The distinguished guest visits, the reception is not thoughtful, if there is a collision in the words, Wanwanglou Gongzi Haihan, please go to the other room to talk, drink wine together, and talk about the short and long." ”

Zhang Shiduan, as the prince of Guangling, called himself "under the bottom" to a cloth cloth who had no official and no lord, which was very polite, and even had the meaning of a polite corporal.

Since you are here, you can't just go, and the building arched her hand and said: "The guest is obedient." ”

Zhou Lu smiled: "Everyone have a good drink, and they will be friends from now on." ”

Zhang Shiduan said to Zhou Lu: "I won't stay with Zhou Gongzi, and I won't send it far." ”

"Ah...... I ......" Zhou Lu was really afraid of this young man, blushed, and left in a curtled manner, "No need to send it, I know the way, the coachman is waiting for me outside." ”

With Zhou Lu here, I don't know when I want to drink this wine, so Lou Ji doesn't speak for him.

Zhang Shiduan personally led the way, and took the guests to another meditation room, a long room, full of low couches on both sides, which can accommodate dozens of people to participate in meditation at the same time, no one uses it at the moment, and several cases of wine and food have been placed on the two couches, opposite each other across the aisle.

The two of them invited each other to take a seat, and the building turned to look at a screen set up in the middle of the meditation room, the screen divided the meditation room into two, one side of the candlelight was bright, the other side was dim, I don't know what the purpose is.

Two servants stood by the couch and poured wine, and two servants stood at the door, ready to add wine and serve food.

The two politely drank a few glasses and tasted the dishes, the wine was good wine, the dishes were relatively bland, all vegetarian dishes, and they had a different taste.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Zhang Shi ordered several servants to retreat and said, "Master Lou, please forgive me for being disappointed, there is one more thing I have to ask." ”

Lou Ji felt that having questions and answers was much more interesting than a table of wine and food, and he didn't think it was a disappointment, "Please say." ”

"When you write 'use the people with time', do you really want to deal with the disadvantages of the times, or ...... I bumped into this topic by chance, to be honest, this topic is not new, if it is not placed in the present, in fact, there is no new idea. ”

Lou Ji smiled: "Is this important?" It was just a text, and if there were few readers, it would have the meaning of a needle, and it would not hit the target. ”

"Is the 'target' the Emperor?" Zhang Shiduan also smiled, "I really have this idea, I want to sort out the article and ask His Majesty to read it himself." ”

"The son of the world is putting me to death."

"You've also heard about Luo Yushi?"

Lou Ji nodded, he didn't just hear about it, he saw it with his own eyes at the scene.

Zhang Shiduan sighed lightly, "Luo Yushi died unjustly, but it's no wonder Your Majesty, it's all those ministers who are bad, borrowing Your Majesty's knife to kill their own enemies?" ”

"Shechen?"

"There is no need to hide it, there are three major ministers around Your Majesty, which have long been known to the world, and Lou Gongzi will not have heard of it: one is Shao Junqian, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who has a bit of literary talent, often writes edicts for His Majesty, and loves to make trouble without anything, Lou Gongzi thinks that 'urgent', in fact, more than half of it comes from this person......'s idea;

Zhang Shiduan shut up, and Lou Ji said: "We even picked the fault of today's son, who else can't say?" ”

"This last one is Lou Gongzi's brother, the general of the Chinese army, Lou Hard, Brother Ling can be described as a good helper, the famous wall grass, downwind, Your Majesty makes mistakes, he doesn't admonish it, but he is shy and pandering, making His Majesty more wrong than wrong."

"The prince thinks that Your Majesty ...... Can be persuaded? ”

"Of course, Your Majesty is heroic and martial, and there is no one in the world, as Lou Gongzi said, everything Your Majesty has done is not useless and abused, but it is a little rushed, which is not a big problem. Moreover, Your Majesty is as good as a stream, as long as his words are reasonable, he will obey them. ”

The emperor in Zhang Shiduan's eyes is completely different from Lou Ji and the vast majority of people.

"My article, I don't convince Your Majesty." Floor Road.

"Hehe, of course one article alone is not enough, but you provide an idea, carefully polish it, and get the right person to write it, and this thing will be done."

Lou Ji had always thought that he and Ma Wei's assassination plan was whimsical, but he didn't expect that there would be more uncanny ideas, and stared at the young man opposite for a while, "Is the 'right person' the prince?" ”

"Alas, I would like to, but Your Majesty doesn't take me seriously, always thinks that I am still a child, if I go to the book, Your Majesty will not believe that it is my handwriting, and second, I will not take it seriously. Nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty, really, nothing. Lou Gongzi can't do it, you're not even a bachelor......"

"And I'm imprisoned."

"Confinement?" Zhang Shiduan is very unfamiliar with this word.

"My biological mother was originally from Wu State, and the first emperor set the rules, the scholars of the Five Kingdoms were imprisoned for life, and they were not allowed to be officials, and some people were imprisoned for the third generation, and I was among these people."

Zhang Shiduan let out a long sigh, "Sitting with my mother, I really haven't heard of this kind of thing." ”

"The Wu people must have provoked the anger of the first emperor to have such a heavy punishment."

Zhang Shiduan nodded, "The Wu people always want to rebel, so far they are not honest, when the first emperor was here, they had planned to assassinate many times, and the heavens were clear, and they did not succeed, but it is a pity that they have been affected by such a virtuous person as Lou Gongzi." ”

Speaking of "stabbing driving", Lou Ji's heartbeat increased slightly, and he smiled without saying a word, but one thing was certain, Zhang Shiduan knew nothing about the conspiracy of his father King Guangling, and he was loyal to the emperor.

"You are the son of a great general, and there is always a way to solve the confinement matter. If I can find a suitable person, is Lou Gongzi willing to help and write another article? ”

Lou Ji thought for a moment, not wanting to give the other party illusions, so he said: "I don't think my article has such a great ability to say that His Majesty has changed his course." ”

"I can find someone to craft your essay and make it more convincing."

Lou Ji still shook his head, Zhang Shiduan was puzzled, and was still a little anxious, left the table, stood up with his shoes on, and said: "Although Lou Gongzi is imprisoned, he is still a child of Tiancheng, how can he know and not say anything......

A gentle cough suddenly came from the room, and Zhang Shiduan smiled and changed his words: "I'm stupid, I'll change someone to convince you." ”

The building turned his head to look, and was surprised to find that there were a few more people behind the screen, and there were many people, although it was not clear, but it could be seen that they should all be women.

Lou Ji also left the table and went to the ground, arching his hand and saying: "I don't know that the son of the world has a daughter here, Lou is ......."

"The eldest husband has great ambitions, are you still afraid of a few women?" A crisp voice said.

Lou Ji was embarrassed, and stepped forward and said: "Not afraid of men and women, but afraid of people's words, even the prince and you, you should also pay a little attention." ”

Laughter rang out inside and outside the screen at the same time, and another woman said, "We are not afraid of human words, and human words are afraid of us." ”

Zhang Shiduan turned sideways and said: "Let me introduce, this is the son of the general, the son of the building." The first one here is His Majesty's own sister, the eldest princess of Luoyang. ”

Lou Ji was taken aback, the emperor attached great importance to the eldest princess, and soon after ascending the throne, she changed her title to "Luoyang", according to rumors outside, the eldest princess was quite involved in politics, Ma Wei's so-called "Ji Si Chen", referring to this kind of thing.

"Buyi Lou Foundation, meet the eldest princess." The aisle is narrow, and Zhang Shiduan is standing next to him, and the building base simply does not kneel, but just gives up.

There was a snickering sound behind the screen, and the eldest princess said: "Although I am a woman, I am much older than you, and with my guardianship, Lou Gongzi should not be afraid of people's words, right?" ”

"Lou is terrified, if he knows that the eldest princess is here, he will not dare to come to the door."

"This person is a little pedantic, and a little timid, I don't think he is the person we are looking for." The eldest princess said unceremoniously, only lowering her voice slightly.

The foundation of the building is desperate to be taken away.

Talking in a whisper behind the screen, Zhang Shiduan paused the introduction, and whispered: "Lou Gongzi doesn't have to be formal, the people behind the screen are His Majesty's closest relatives, and His Majesty has nothing to disobey what they say." ”

Lou Ji was considering whether to directly show his attitude and oppose the woman's involvement in political affairs, and the eldest princess behind the screen said: "Fifth brother, you step back first." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shiduan was puzzled.

"Let's all step aside, your seventh sister has to say a few words to Lou Gongzi alone."

"Fifth Brother" and "Seventh Sister", Lou Ji didn't understand the ranking between these royal relatives at all.

Zhang Shiduan said with a smile: "The seventh sister will definitely succeed." Lou Gongzi, I don't need to pass the word this time, see which of the two of you can convince whom. ”

Suddenly, it turned out that this "Seventh Sister" was the person Zhang Shiduan had frequently consulted before, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he didn't talk nonsense anymore and stayed in place.

The figure behind the screen dissipated, Zhang Shiduan also withdrew from the room, and stood still at the base of the building, suddenly remembering that no one had introduced them yet, and he didn't know what to call the other party.

The candlelight behind the screen was faint, and there was no one at first, but when she approached, a very faint shadow appeared.

"Brother Seventeen, long time no see."

Lou Ji was stunned, very few people called him "Seventeenth Brother", even if he was a brother in the family, he didn't need this title, not to mention that the other party was a royal lady he didn't know.

"Don't dare, Your Excellency is ......" Lou Ji really didn't know how to speak, so he had to call "Your Excellency".

The other side laughed, "Under the surname Zhang, the first emperor gave the name 'Huanyan County Lord', do you remember the seventeenth brother?" ”

"Shu Lou is clumsy...... "Lou Ji still didn't remember, the other party is the county lord and must be the princess, but he didn't even see anyone, so he can't be called "clumsy".

"No wonder, Brother Seventeen and I were both young at that time. Thirteen years ago, I went to Beijing with my mother, and my new house was incomplete, so I lived in my aunt's house for the time being, and when I visited the garden, I met several brothers several times. ”

Lou Ji finally had the impression that the Lan family was prominent, in addition to the queen mother and the general's wife, there was also a princess of Xiangdong, when the princess entered Beijing, she lived in the general's mansion for a few months.

The image of a little girl appeared in front of Lou Ji, and he blurted out: "Are you a brute girl?" ”

"Do my brothers call me that? I guess it's because I'm from the south, and I love to climb trees and catch insects. ”

Lou Ji hurriedly said: "I screamed when I was a child, it turned out to be ...... You are now the 'Lord of Huanyan'. ”

"The first emperor always smiled when he saw me, and gave me such a name. Speaking of business, Brother Seventeen's 'using the people to take the time' really talks about the urgency of the moment. ”

When I was a child, I just met, and I didn't deal with each other much, and Lou Ji didn't have any affection for Lord Huanyan, so he arched his hand and said: "It's an empty talk, Your Majesty has his own ideas, and it will never be changed by an article." ”

"Of course, just an article is not enough, but what if you add what you have seen and heard with your own eyes?"

"I don't understand what the county lord means."

"Your Majesty is not always right, but there is a sentence that I think Your Majesty is very right: A person only finds evidence from the pile of old papers, and the people he usually comes into contact with are either high-ranking officials or noble relatives, but he claims to know the situation in the world, and he is not ashamed to ask for the people's life, is it not ridiculous? Lou Gongzi has a trick of 'seeing the subtle things', why not learn a trick of 'seeing is believing'? ”

Lou Ji was surprised to find that the county lord's words were very reasonable, and he was really about to be convinced.
