Chapter 369: Two-Faced Man
"The vassal king, the Ministry of Rites, the relatives, the household department, the local officials, the heroes, hehe......" After the emperor glanced at the list, he sneered, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes: "These are my good ministers, good people!" ”
Sneered, threw the fold on the ground casually, and turned his head, the emperor said with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth.
Offstage, Hong Quan glanced at the fold that was casually thrown on the ground by the emperor. He looked at the Emperor, then looked down at the fold, then walked over and picked it up.
Just glanced at it, and the dense names on the fold, Hong Quan couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.
There are no less than 300 officials, large and small officials, local heroes, and big families. Among them, the one with the largest area is the current Rong Guifei's mother's family, which is a full five thousand tilts, standing for a full tenth.
And the second one turned out to be the king of Pingxi, whose fief was in the Shaanxi area, that is, the sixth son of His Majesty, covering an area of 3,000 yuan. The rest are all local powerful officials who have colluded with the senior officials of the DPRK and China, as well as some big families.
Hong Quan just glanced at it, and sweat broke out on his forehead. After raising his hand and wiping it, he put the hot potato on the ground.
Outside the hall, the sky was dark and gloomy clouds rolling. It rained for two days and nights, but instead of stopping, it became even heavier.
The sound of falling water crackling on the steps outside the imperial study made a crisp sound. Every sound was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the people in the temple.
This rain, if it doesn't stop. I am afraid that there is more than one place where the Yellow River bursts.
In the main hall, the cold air hit, and people couldn't help but shiver.
After a long time, the emperor turned his head and looked at Hong Fat Man with a solemn face, just as he was about to speak. Seeing that the fat man Hong lowered his head, his fat body shook and shook. The emperor shook his head imperceptibly, and then turned his gaze to Lu Yushi.
"Lu Aiqing!"
"Yes!" When Lu Yushi heard this, his body suddenly tensed. lowered his head, the corners of his eyes jumped, and finally gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice.
He knew very well in his heart what His Majesty wanted him to do.
The Emperor looked at him fixedly, and after a long time, he walked down the steps. Then he walked to the side of the screen. Reaching out and taking down the sword of the Son of Heaven inlaid with a golden dragon on the weapon rack.
The emperor's eyes were leisurely, and after glancing at the sword in his hand, he held the hilt of the sword, and with a bang, the sword was unsheathed. It's just a section, but the flickering cold light is still moving.
The emperor's eyes were slightly closed, and he closed his sword. Took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, the trace of hesitation in his eyes disappeared in an instant. Instead, there is a deep ruthlessness.
Holding the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, he turned around and walked in front of Lu Yushi, looking at him fixedly: "Lu Aiqing, you immediately set off with the royal court and go to the breach of the Yellow River, and the dam will discharge the flood." In addition, I have given you the Sword of the Son of Heaven and eight hundred thousand Niu Wei, and you can do it cheaply. If there is any obstruction, shoot and kill! ”
The emperor handed the Son of Heaven Sword to Lu Yushi with both hands. looked at Lu Yushi coldly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who it is, treat everyone equally!" ”
Lu Yushi lowered his head and listened to the emperor's words, his brows trembled.
There was a wind blowing in the hall, and Lu Yushi's gray hair was flying in a mess.
The emaciated waist pole gives people a thousand strengths.
Lu Yushi raised his head and glanced at the Sword of the Son of Heaven in front of him, as well as the emperor's solemn gaze. didn't go to pick up the sword of the Son of Heaven, but hesitated.
Yes, he was hesitating.
After taking over the sword of the Son of Heaven, he is a Qincha and has the right to act cheaply. Moreover, the discharge of floods from embankments is a great thing for the benefit of the people. If this is done, his reputation will definitely be greatly improved.
However, when I think of the background and identity of the person who occupies the land, once something happens, the consequences are definitely not something I can control.
In addition, the king of Pingxi had a close relationship with the king of Jin. Moreover, at this time, according to the intelligence of all parties, King Jin already had objections. Once you go on a business trip, not only will your head be ruined, but even your family will be affected.
Rao is Lu Yushi's heart is like iron, and he can't help but be shaken at this moment.
The emperor saw that Lu Yushi was so difficult, and he also knew what he was worried about.
However, at this moment, the matter is urgent. Every hour of delay would have caused thousands of people to suffer. The emperor was anxious, and seeing that Lu Yushi was still hesitating, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you are doing things for me." If there is any difficulty, I will solve it for you! ”
Hearing this, Lu Yushi's numb face showed an ugly smile. He raised his head and glanced at the emperor, shook his head with a smile, and took the sword of the Son of Heaven.
"The old minister retires!" After Lu Yushi took over the sword of the Son of Heaven, he surrendered his hand.
The emperor nodded and said, "Lu Aiqing has to take care of his body!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Yushi grinned and saluted respectfully. Then, with a smile in his eyes, he nodded to Lu Heng on the side, and then bent down and retreated.
"Stand down, I want to be alone for a while!" After Lu Yushi went out, the emperor waved his hand with some interest, and after saying hello to Lu Heng and the others, he went straight to the imperial study.
"Let's go!" Lu Heng smiled and said to Hong Quan.
"Uh-huh!" Hong Fatzi nodded hurriedly, and pulled Lu Heng to hurriedly walk towards the door.
"Two adults stay!" Just as the two were going out, the chamberlain came over and called the two of them.
"Two adults, Your Majesty said, after an hour, the worship ceremony will be held normally, and the two adults please go to the side hall with the slaves and maids to rest!" The waiter said politely, and his thin voice sounded extremely soft and comfortable.
Hearing this, Hong Fatzi smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Annoying father-in-law!" ”
The waiter was frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Excellency is polite, two adults, please come with the villain!" ”
After taking the oil-paper umbrella, each of the three of them took a hand, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Outside, it was overcast and gloomy. Pouring rain, pouring down. Like silk threads, connected into a rain curtain, the world is white. The open space below the main hall was already full of stagnant water. The guards drenched in the rain held the hilts of their swords in their hands, and did not move.
As soon as he went out, he was wet by the rain that dripped and splashed on the ground from the eaves.
Lu Heng frowned, and directly lifted the front hem of the robe regardless of the image and pinned it to the belt. Such a dress is quite like Huang Feihong.
After Hong Quan was stunned, he hurriedly did the same. Learn in style.
After the two of them had arranged their robes, they followed the inner room and along the corridor towards the side hall.
However, as soon as he turned a corner, Lu Heng saw Lu Yushi, who was wet outside the corridor in front of him, standing there, looking at him with a smile.
"You two go first, and I'll be there later!" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then saw Lu Yushi's ugly smile. couldn't help laughing, turned his head, said to Hong Quan and the waiter beside him, and walked towards the stage with an umbrella.
Lu Yushi must be waiting for himself here, and some words must not be good to say in front of others.
"Why did Lord Lu do this?" Lu Heng smiled, moved the paper umbrella, blocked the wind and rain for Lu Yushi, and glanced at the miserable appearance of the old man's silver hair sticking to his face, and the water droplets on his body falling down, and couldn't help but laugh and quip.
When Lu Yushi heard this, he surprisingly did not refute and stared.
After glancing at Lu Heng fixedly, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, laughing at himself: "People who are about to die, what do you care about!" ”
Lu Heng's face froze for a moment, he knew what Lu Yushi was talking about. No matter how good or bad the flood discharge is, there will be no good results for those who carry out it.
However, at this moment, Lu Heng looked at Lu Yushi's bleak face, and his heart was entangled for a moment, and then, when he raised his head, he still shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord Lu is too pessimistic!" ”
Lu Yushi glanced at Lu Heng and saw that he had a reluctant smile on his face. Shaking his head slightly, he put his hands behind his back, looked at the rain curtain in the distance, and sighed: "Childe is extremely smart, how can he not see the danger in it?" ”
Lu Heng wanted to say something, but when he saw the old man's shabby official robe standing on his body that was wet from the rain, his lips moved. But I didn't know how to speak.
"Childe really knows!" Lu Yushi turned his head, smiled slightly, and looked at Lu Hengdao.
Lu Heng took a step forward and stood side by side with Lu Yushi. Look at the palace shrouded in rain and fog. After thinking about it, he turned his head, glanced at Lu Yushi, and said lightly: "Lord Lu remembered the Marquis of Wei in the Western Han Dynasty?" ”
"It seems that Childe understands better than anyone else in his heart!" Lu Yushi smiled miserably, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
"That prince still thinks that His Majesty can keep the old minister?" Lu Yushi raised his hand, wiped the rain on his face, and said expressionlessly.
Lu Heng was silent!
"Although, the old man worships Dr. Shi. However, the clear-eyed people in the court and the central government all hate the old man to the core. Especially those who know the identity of the old man Nightingale. I don't want to dispose of the old man as soon as possible! Lu Yushi said calmly as if it was none of his business.
"But ......" Lu Yushi took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and said in a deep voice: "However, everything the old man has done is worthy of the country, the teachings of the sage, and even more worthy of the people of Limin!" ”
"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune!" Lu Yushi smiled, his lips moved slightly, and read a sentence of this couplet that he had seen in Zhang Wenshan's mansion. Turning his head, he looked at Lu Heng and said, "How about the son send this couplet to the old man?" ”
Looking at the wind and rain, Lu Yushi's thin but straight waist, as well as the vicissitudes of life, the expectant gaze.
Lu Heng's face was solemn, and he nodded emphatically.
"Good!"
It was rainy, stormy.
Under the umbrella, Lu Heng looked at Lu Yushi, who turned around and walked towards the rain and mist, and looked at his lonely shadow.
After thinking about it, he smiled slightly and said, "Lord Lu! ”
In the rainstorm, Lu Yushi's footsteps stopped, turned his head, and looked at Lu Heng.
"Your family will be safe!" Lu Heng smiled slightly, and bowed. In Lu Yushi's grateful gaze, he turned around and left.
