"Your Highness always goes to Mr. Lu's house, isn't he afraid of other people's criticism?"

Huang An's back was pressed against the slightly swaying carriage canopy, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Respect the teacher, who dares to criticize? This king has no intention to go anywhere, except to go to the husband's house! ”

Bustling pedestrians crowded the streets, and horse-drawn carriages stopped and went at a very slow pace. From time to time, Zhu Qiming opened a small crack in the car curtain and looked at the street scene through the gap.

The civil strife in the Zhejiang-Fujian region was tempered by the slightly disdainful rhetoric in the temples, and its shock waves were confined to the imperial court; The simmering tensions in the north were not well known, and the entire capital was still engulfed in the tide of commerce, and the hunger for wealth turned into an enduring hustle and bustle of the market, from the dawn of the moon to the light of day.

In the days when there is no influx of hungry people into the capital, there is no trace of suffering in the world in Beijing, the dancing pavilion and the wind curtain are covered with the streets and alleys, trying to render the prosperity of the prosperous era. ”

After passing the Dongzhi Gate, the pedestrians gradually thinned out, and the carriage turned into a secluded boulevard and stopped in front of the Lu family's house.

Thinking of the upcoming secret conversation with Lu Xi, Zhu Qiming's heart was heavy, leaving Huang An, and getting out of the carriage alone, he saw that the willows around him were green, and the grass was tender yellow. After walking a few steps slowly, I pushed open the false fence gate, and I heard Lu Ziyin's loud reading sound floating over from afar.

"The clouds cause rain, the dew becomes frost, the gold gives birth to beautiful water, and the jade comes out of Kungang ······"

The family's comfortable life is still messed up by themselves! Zhu Qiming stopped to listen for a long time, and then walked into the house.

"Your Royal Highness, the rumor has been spread to Kunning Palace, I don't know what the queen's mother means?" Lu Xi and Zhu Qiming saw each other, and Mrs. Lu said without worry.

Zhu Qiming smiled, "Master don't worry, the queen has her own intentions, and this move is beneficial and harmless to Sister Xiyu." ”

Mrs. Lu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. Lu Xi invited Zhu Qiming into the study to take a seat, and the servant woman came over with a smile and served tea.

Lu Xi's face was solemn, "Fujian has been in turmoil, and a man named Deng Maoqi led tenant farmers to rebel, with hundreds of thousands of followers. Deng calls himself the 'King of Bulldozing' and threatens to smooth out all the injustices in the world, which is really a great irony! There are so many officials in Fujian, all of whom have read the books of sages, but what is the difference between what they do and what they do is that of animals! It seems that those indoctrination words are regarded as a false decoration by some people, and words and deeds are diametrically opposed. Now it's time to use thunderbolts to rectify the dynasty! ”

"Sir, it's late." Zhu Qiming was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Lu Xi, a Confucian with excellent cultivation, would now agree to the harsh punishment of Legalism in the court! "Now we can only respond to emergencies. I am afraid that the civil strife in the area of Zhejiang and Fujian will consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and by the time the Tartar thieves come to attack, the whole country will be weak and the society will be in danger! ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Lu Xi's eyes, "Could it be that His Highness is secretly working hard again to deal with the impending crisis?" ”

"It's so hard!" Zhu Qiming listened to Lu Ziyin's reading quietly, and suddenly remembered the beacon fire and wolf smoke on the border, "The entire Ming Six Gods have no master, and they are all fantasizing!" Before the catastrophe came, what should Da Ming do, others didn't want to think about it, but Xiao Wang couldn't pretend to be stupid. ”

"A prince is confined by regulations and has a lot of confinement, and His Royal Highness can do as much as he wants, and it is not appropriate to come out."

"Some things can be done in secret, but some things must be spread out on the surface, which is related to the safety of the community, and it is a last resort, Xiao Wang can only come out!" Zhu Qiming's expression turned gloomy, "Xiao Wang is alone, he has nothing to worry about, and he doesn't care about anything, but Mr. is Xiao Wang's mentor, and it is inevitable that he will be affected, so Xiao Wang has a reluctant request, please Mr. Zhishi, hide in the world." Speaking of the unspeakable, this made Zhu Qiming very embarrassed.

Accepting a prince as a student is a matter of glory to the ancestors, but Mr. not only failed to become smooth because of this, but also had to leave fame and fortune for this student, and the glory was not successful, but he fell down, what kind of unbearable life experience would be! Of course, Lu Xi wouldn't think so, but his heart was still full of sadness.

"After more than ten years of hard study, the hardships are comparable to very others, and they are almost overhanging. Chao is Tian Shelang, twilight ascends to Tianzitang', 'learn to become a literary and martial arts, and lend to the emperor's family', how many ordinary people have the dream of getting ahead! I can't be exempt from vulgarity, and now that I am famous, I want to abandon it, and I am really reluctant! Lu Xi's face was lonely, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

"Shame on the students!"

Lu Xi was sad for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, "With King Yu here, why do you need His Highness to come forward?" ”

King Servant? Zhu Qiming couldn't help but think of Pang Zhe, and the Leng Wuyan who dared to talk to each other when they met, and the king of the servants must be quietly preparing for the upcoming violent shocks, but no one can say anything about such speculation!

"The king is waiting for the little king to come out, the little king is waiting for the king to come out, so waiting, no one will come out, once the catastrophe comes, so many royal relatives are afraid that they will become cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, which has been repeatedly verified by history. If it is for his own sake, how can Xiao Wang come forward? If it is for the sake of the society, Xiao Wang is better than King Yu, and I am afraid that the situation will become more and more out of control! ”

Lu Xi took a deep breath, "To the Shi is to the Shi, how to worry about fame and fortune!" Hidden in the mountains and forests in the coming day, it may be a hundred times more comfortable than today! ”

The teacher and student looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere in the study returned to relaxation, and Zhu Qiming finally unloaded the heaviest concern.

······

"The people's daughter Lu clan see Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"Yo, look at this appearance, how can it be compared to the laymen in the world!" Queen Qian smiled and stepped forward to help Lu Xiyu with her own hands, "This palace knows that your name is Xiyu, and you are the companion of King Yue." ”

"Her Royal Highness the Queen is loved, and the folk girls dare not be ashamed, and the folk girls are also laymen." Lu Xiyu raised his hands and had good etiquette, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the Queen commands?" ”

From the first time she saw Lu Xiyu, the queen forgot about the girl named Lin Sulan to the clouds. The status of a queenless queen in the middle palace is quite fragile, if she doesn't know how to skillfully borrow external power, then she is simply stupid!

She can't secretly communicate with important ministers in the court like the queen mother back then, and now the Son of Heaven does not allow people in the harem to cultivate power in the court, and her choice is very limited. And the Lu Xiyu in front of him happens to be the woman that King Yue likes, and King Yue is not an ordinary prince!

has the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, and then befriend the woman in front of her, King Yue may help her when she is in trouble!

The queen pursed her lips gently, and her laughter warmed her heart like a gentle wind. "What is the command? I heard the Empress Dowager mention you back then, and I knew that you had only learned people, but I haven't had the opportunity to meet you all these years, which is a pity! Didn't Princess Changde give you a waist card? That's good, this palace also gives you a waist card, and when it's convenient, you often come to Kunning Palace to walk around, and this palace wants to learn some talents from you. ”
