Chapter 471: Marriage and Grudge (II) Fifth Update
In this side hall, the only person who can say this and dare to say this is of course Lu Jin. But even Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, didn't expect him to say such a clear thing at this time that he couldn't get along with Cao Rui, which made his heart move, and he put back the hand he had just raised.
Cao Rui's complexion also changed slightly, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the uninvited guests on the side. In fact, after he entered the palace, he had already seen that there was such a change today, and it was this Lu Jin who was making a hindrance, but he was not in a hurry to confront him head-on, and he planned to suppress King Yu first, and then slowly entangle with Lu Jin.
I didn't expect this guy to be so bold, he didn't trouble him, and he actually found things first. This made Gonggong Cao's heart extremely annoyed, and his gaze at Lu Zhen had become a little gloomy and hostile: "Lu Langzhong, you are a little suspicious of overstepping your responsibilities when you say this, right?" ”
In the face of his threatening gaze, Lu Zhen was calm, and even the smile on his face did not change: "Gonggong Cao's words are bad. As a courtier, this is just my duty, and when I see that the monarch is embarrassed, I naturally want to give a few words of advice. But you, father-in-law, actually want to obstruct His Royal Highness King Yu from carefully looking through the music, but what do you have in mind? ”
This sentence is neither soft nor hard, but it not only exonerates himself, but also pushes Cao Rui up, making him feel an irrefutable sense of depression. But what he said was also reasonable, after all, Cao Rui was just a celebrant eunuch, and he didn't have the power to control how an auxiliary vassal king handled government affairs, let alone urge him to use the seal quickly.
Seeing that his boss touched a nail in front of Lu Jin, the eunuch who was already feeling aggrieved finally couldn't hold it back: "Lu Langzhong, what do you mean by this?" When did His Royal Highness become a king? He was not slow to react, and he actually grasped a loophole in Lu Jin's words and started to make an article.
When Lu Zhen heard this, his eyebrows also jumped. To tell the truth, since Zhu Qizhen led his troops north, he had actually regarded this King Yu who stayed in the capital as the Son of Heaven. That's why he said that in front of the other party today, not to please him, so as to pave the way for his future future, but to think that Zhu Qiyu should learn to really call the shots from now on, so that in a few months, when the burden really falls on his shoulders, he will not be out of proportion. Perhaps it was precisely because of this thought that he unconsciously brought out this meaning in his words.
But now Zhu Qiyu is not the Son of Heaven after all, and he never thought that he had the destiny to be an emperor, so after the eunuch said this, he was suddenly so frightened that his face turned pale, and he almost screamed.
As I said before, the Ming Dynasty's vigilance against the vassal king can be regarded as the heaviest since the previous dynasties, if it really makes the Son of Heaven believe that he, the younger brother, actually has the ambition to be the emperor, even if he has never done anything, the future will be very difficult.
For a moment, Zhu Qiyu really resented this Lu Jin. It's just a puppet for the rest of your life, and there's nothing to worry about. But it's good that he just pushed himself into the abyss from which he may never recover.
Cao Rui was overjoyed, now it seems that King Yu is indeed cowardly, and he can finally easily solve the problem in front of him. By the way, he can also use the topic to play and help the prince rectify this opponent well.
But before he could be happy for a while, Lu Zhen laughed: "This father-in-law, you really know how to laugh!" In front of you and me, His Royal Highness King Yu is not a king, is he still a minister? As a descendant of Taizu and a vassal king of the imperial court, to us, he is a king! Do you want to deny that? ”
"I ......" The one who was stunned when he heard this, and Cao Rui's face changed slightly, but he was powerless to refute.
In fact, this is just a change of concept. Obviously, what the other party believes is that Lu Zhen said that Zhu Qiyu's king refers to the emperor; However, Lu Zhen pointed out that the prince is also a king to them, and this point is also reasonable.
Without waiting for them to delve into the matter, Lu Jin's face sank again, and he took the initiative to ask: "So you two slaves and maids actually dare to dictate in front of the prince, and don't let the prince carefully check the song, but what is your intention?" If something goes wrong, can you afford it? ”
asked a few words sharply, even Cao Rui couldn't resist it, his eyes flickered, and his body shrank back.
After all, he is only a celebrant and a celebrant of the four seats, and he has never really been in charge of it alone. On weekdays, it is only because he is well-behaved and clever that he is good at welcoming Wang Zhen, which has some considerable power. But compared to Wang Zhen and several other colleagues who followed the Son of Heaven, he was much weaker in terms of strain and momentum.
So, in the face of Lu Jin's aggressive questioning, he couldn't resist it, and he couldn't even refute or explain. After supporting me for a while, Cao Rui finally had to bow his head: "Your Highness, it's the slave who was confused for a while, so it's ...... Just...... I hope that His Highness will forgive his sins! ”
The eunuch next to him saw that he actually relented, although he was shocked for a while, he could only accept it, and hurriedly admitted his mistake and begged Zhu Qiyu for forgiveness.
Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu's newly suspended heart finally returned to its original position, and he couldn't help waving his hand, wanting to say that he would not pursue the matter, so that they didn't have to care. But before he could say anything, Lu Zhen spoke again: "Since you two call yourself slaves and maids, you dare to stand in front of Your Highness in a big way when you make a mistake, and you don't quickly kneel down and wait for the fate!" ”
"You ......" Lu Jin's statement was really a bit deceitful, which also made Cao Rui even more annoyed, and he was almost about to scold. But then, he thought of his own identity again, as well as the identity of the former King of Servants.
It was only at this time that he realized that the young prince in front of him might be easy to fool, but as long as Lu Zhen nodded a few words on the side, he would understand how much power he had, the auxiliary prince who was enshrined by the Son of Heaven.
In fact, if Zhu Qiyu was really determined to rectify them, then it would not be too difficult to kill them. And afterwards, the Son of Heaven was afraid that he would not really punish a brother because of the life and death of the two eunuchs in the palace, at most he would just complain a few words, and then quickly send him to the local domain. But his father-in-law Cao is going to die in vain in this scene.
A slave is a slave after all, even if she has some power on weekdays, but in the eyes of the royal family, she is still just an ant-like existence! When he understood this, Cao Rui gave up his ridiculous dignity and knelt down: "The slave is guilty, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed his head with a bang.
The subordinate eunuch was obviously stunned, and he didn't understand why Gonggong Cao suddenly lowered his identity so much. But since Gonggong Cao has done this, how can he dare to hold on to a little eunuch, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, admitting his mistake and begging for mercy.
Zhu Qiyu was stunned by this sudden change. He really didn't expect that he would be so begged for by these eunuchs in charge of the celebrant eunuchs one day. This made him feel that the depression of many days had been swept away, and his heart felt even more relaxed.
After all, he is a young man, and he was treated as a puppet in the palace before, and he couldn't do anything, and he had to listen to their words and ridicule, and it was naturally impossible to say that there was no resentment in his heart.
It wasn't until now that he realized that his identity was so noble, and he didn't have to care about the thoughts of these palace eunuchs at all. For a moment, he even gave birth to himself, and even if he ordered people to drag these two eye-catching guys out and beat them to death, it would not be a difficult task.
But this thought only turned in his mind a little, and soon he returned to his original state, waved his hand, and said, "That's it, since you are all convicted, then the king will no longer punish you, get up." "After all, they are the people of the celebrant and the people who are close to the imperial brother. If he really kills them today, then when the imperial brother comes back, it will be difficult for him.
Hearing him say this, Cao Rui and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they kowtowed to thank each other in a hurry, and then they stood up a little embarrassed.
Afterwards, Gonggong Cao glanced at the notes on the table and said, "Your Highness, the slave maid will not bother you to review the notes." Liu An stayed here to serve His Highness, and after His Highness had reviewed all these notes, it would not be too late for him to send them to the celebrant supervisor. Saying that, he didn't dare to stay here longer, so he hurriedly withdrew.
And the eunuch named Liu An smiled awkwardly, and then retreated to the corner, not daring to say anything again.
It wasn't until he saw that the matter had been done that Lu Jinfang smiled and bowed to Zhu Qiyu and said, "Since His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs, the minister will not bother, so he will retire." ”
Zhu Qiyu is still a little confused at the moment, feeling that everything is so unreal. He also had a lot to say about the courtier in front of him, who was not a few years older than him, and wanted to know why Cao Rui had such a big contrast between them before and after. But when the words came to his lips, he saw Liu An in the corner again, and finally had to give up.
After nodding, he said: "Then Lu Langzhong walks slowly, and this king will not send you." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Zhen deeply, which was full of a lot of feelings.
Lu Zhen smiled again, and then slowly walked out of the side hall, and then walked out briskly. This time, he can be regarded as having formed a close relationship with King Yu, which must be very beneficial to his future development in the court.
Since it is difficult for Zhu Qizhen to change after several years of hard work, from this moment on, he has to bet his hope on the new tomorrow in the future!
However, Lu Zhen also knows that while forming a good relationship with Zhu Qiyu, he also has a grudge against Cao Rui, I am afraid that the next days will not be peaceful!
