Chapter 396: The Storm Changes

In front of the dim "door", the fire suddenly lit up.

In the jailer's respectful salute, a scholar in a pale blue "color" robe, and a chubby "waiter" of the criminal department, Lang Hong, all appeared at the "door".

Glancing at Lu Zhi, who was a little surprised in the cell, Lu Heng smiled and bent down into the cell. He hugged his fists and said to him: "Lord Lu, long time no see!" ”

Ha......

When Lu Zhi saw this person coming, he came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't think anyone would come to see me, I thought my time had come!"

Dragging the heavy shackles, Nuo stepped aside, let go of the "door", pointed to the only futon on the dry grass behind him, and said, "The room is simple, Lu Gongzi, if you don't dislike it, just sit down!" ”

Lu Heng looked at it calmly, dressed in a death row uniform, with white hair and a messy appearance. My heart was slightly sour, and I nodded.

Behind him, Hong Quan saw Lu Zhi in shackles, as if he was about to be executed. With a sigh in his heart, he walked to the cell.

After the three of them sat down, Lu Heng glanced at Lu Zhi in front of him, his body was dry, and he described him as haggard. Turning his head, he said to the jailer outside the "door": "Trouble the little brother to buy some wine and food?" ”

"Wait a minute, my lord!" When the jailer heard this, he nodded respectfully and left with his fists clenched.

In a short time, the jailer came up with some food and a jug of wine.

The three of them sat down in this "tide", wet, "cloudy" and cold cell, and sat on the ground by the dim light.

After the jailer filled the three with drinks, he stood respectfully and said nothing.

Lu Heng picked up the wine glass, glanced at Lu Yushi, and persuaded with a smile: "Come, two, please drink full!" ”

"Your Excellency, please!" Hong Quan and Lu Yushi picked up the wine cup and said goodbye. The three of them raised their heads in unison and drank it all.

Lu Yushi picked up a piece of "meat" with chopsticks. After looking at it, he laughed at himself: "I haven't eaten 'meat' for a long time!" Oh, today is still the blessing of the son! ”

While chewing, he took a sip from the wine cup.

"Why did Childe come back to see the old man?" Lu Yushi drank a cup and let out a sigh of relief. His expression was a little gloomy, and he was stunned for a moment. Raising his head, looking at the scholar in front of him with calm eyes, he asked.

Lu Heng took the wine cup, shook it, put it down, looked at Lu Yushi and said, "Heh, I think, you should have something to say to me!" ”

"Why did Childe say that?" Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and asked with a smile.

Lu Heng stretched out his fingers, dusted off a cockroach that crawled on his body, and shook his clothes. Turning his head, he looked at Lu Zhi with burning eyes, then smiled slightly, and pointed to his head: "Feeling!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When I was in Jiangning, when I was talking to Nawei Mansion Yin. Lu Zhi, who was also present at the time, had learned the strange thoughts of this scholar.

At that time, Wei Fu Yin asked this scholar why he didn't cooperate with Lord An. The scholar thought about it for a long time, and then said a reason very seriously: that is, Lord An is too ugly.

The reason for this turned out to be that at the time of the "flower" viewing party, the scholar had just suffered an emotional setback, and as a result, Lord An was very unfortunate and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. coercion, "temptation" and "confusion", but instead of pulling this scholar into its banner. Instead, it "provoked" him.

And the reason why this scholar finally made up his mind was very simple: he counted the reason for the rejection of the young girl on Lord An. The reason is that Lord An's appearance frightened Liu Qingqing. caused Liu Qingqing to feel panicked, so he refused.

However, no one knows that the reason that the scholar casually said was just an excuse.

The contradiction between him and Lord An has already started when the Liu family "forced" Liu Qingqing and Su Guangyi to coerce him.

Now, seeing this scholar, he comes to this trick again. Lu Yushi shook his head and smiled bitterly, knowing that he was perfunctory. sighed deeply, looked at Lu Heng with a smile and said, "Okay, just, well, take it as a feeling:"

Picking up the wine jug, Lu Zhi poured it while looking at Lu Heng and praised it: "I have to say, your feeling is very accurate!" “

After that, Lu Yushi glanced at the jailer standing behind Lu Heng silently.

Lu Heng understood, waved his hand and let the jailer go down.

When the hallway was cleared and there were only three people in the room, Ludge stood up and walked to a corner. Then, pull the dry grass apart. Uncovered the planks underneath and took out a cloth bag containing many pieces of paper from the bottom layer.

Holding it in his hand and thinking about it for a while, Lu Yushi took a deep breath, made up his mind, and turned around and walked in front of Lu Heng.

"This is evidence of the collusion between the king of Jin and the king of Pingxi, and among them, there is also the content of their correspondence with the people who settled in the northwest and the Turks." Lu Yushi solemnly put this cloth bag behind Lu Heng's hand, raised his head, and asked in a deep voice: "I still hope that Gongzi can transfer this thing to Your Majesty!" ”

Lu Heng glanced at the package in his hand and was silent for a while. Raising his head, he looked at Lu Yushi and said, "Why don't you just 'hand' it over to the emperor?" ”

"Your Majesty refuses to see me!" Lu Yushi smiled bitterly and sighed, his face was extremely gloomy.

When Lu Heng heard this, he shook his head slightly, and stuffed the package back to Lu Yushi.

"My lord, my lord, won't you help me?" Lu Yushi was startled, looked at Lu Heng in panic and said.

"Last night, Your Majesty has already made up his mind to eradicate the 'chaotic' ministers and thieves!" Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder. smiled and said lightly: "So, this evidence is useless!" ”

Hearing the news, Lu Yushi was shocked at first, and suddenly burst into tears. With a pleased smile on his face, he fell to his knees with a thud, and the old tears were: "Woo, Your Majesty, the minister is also blinded by death!" ”

The experience of the trip to the disaster area makes Lu Yushi unforgettable.

On the way to the disaster area, I saw the victims, unclothed, with yellow skin and flesh. Lu Yushi, who was as cold as iron, couldn't help but feel sour in his eyes.

When he arrived at the disaster area, seeing the ocean full of eyes and starvation everywhere, Lu Yushi squatted on the edge of the Yellow River, looking at the corpse of a child half-hidden under the loess, and his heart was cold.

When those nobles and magnates of the noble clan disregard the people's livelihood for the sake of the fertile land that their families illegally occupy. Lu Yushi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and sacrificed the Son of Heaven Sword with murderous spirit.

Now, even though he is in prison, Lu Heng and Hong can all see it. He still cares about the disaster area and the people in that land.

"Master Lu, you are a good person and a good official!" Lu Heng squatted down and stretched out his hand to help Lu Yushi, who was kneeling on the ground. looked at this person respectfully and said in a deep voice.

Lu Yushi burst into tears and shook his head. After sighing, he raised his head, looked at the young court member in front of him, the promising emperor, and said with a smile: "The capable emperor is a good official, and the old man dies without regrets!" ”

Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, and after looking at him fixedly, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the cell.

Behind him, Hong Quan respectfully arched his hand and bowed to Lu Zhi. Then, with Lu Heng, they walked out of the room together.

In the cell, the light of the bean-like lamp added a touch of warmth to this cold and wet cell.

Lu Yushi sat at the table, holding a letter from the King of Jin and the King of Pingxi in his hand. stared blankly at the flickering oil lamp on the table. In front of him, the letter package containing the sins of King Jin and King Pingxi was placed on the table alone.

In the room, there was a dead silence, only the occasional crackling sound of the flickering oil lamp.

In the flickering flames, in the room, the light flickered on and off.

After a long time, Lu Yushi, who came back to his senses, smiled sadly. He lit the envelope in his hand on the flame of the oil lamp.

Seeing the letter in his hand turn to ashes, Lu Yushi raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sighed with a pleased smile: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" ”

Great Zhou Qingyuan, the second day of the sixth month of the fifth year, a "cloudy" day, a strong wind.

Lu Zhi, the imperial historian of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was executed in the Tokyo execution ground for many crimes such as disobedience and contempt for imperial power, and more than 50 people were executed in Tokyo along with his family.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

For a while, the voice about Lu Yushi's matter seemed to fall. However, the next morning, the people of Luoyang City suddenly discovered that the soldiers of the North and South Battalions, which had been stationed outside Tokyo, suddenly appeared on the streets of Tokyo overnight.

With thousands of "fine" soldiers, they poured into the city from the four "gates" of Luoyang City.

Then came the orders issued by the emperor. The Qianniu guards in the palace were rotated, and the city defense army was also replaced by soldiers from the northern camp. The entire "Gate" of Tokyo's Confidential Department has been completely replaced.

The atmosphere that had just eased suddenly became solemn again.

Hiding at home, listening to the news from the next generation. Those courtiers all changed their complexions.

Da Zhou, it's going to change!

A month later, the emperor convened a court meeting.

Declare the king of Pingxi guilty of rebellion and rebellion, expel him from the royal register, and send troops to fight against him.

As soon as the decree was announced, the courtiers were shocked. The king of Jin panicked, and Anjia's face was "gloomy".

Three days later, the emperor declared the case of Lu Yushi to be unjust, false and wrongly decided. The "wronged" Lu Yushi was rehabilitated. The nickname is Wenzheng. Posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Lu.

A week later, Lu Yushi lived in the house. The emperor was present in person, and the courtiers gathered.

In the trembling eulogy of the "waiter" of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Yushi's funeral was officially carried out.

The courtiers who looked like relatives stepped forward to salute and mourn the stop that Lu Yushi had parked for a month.

And the family members of Lu Yushi who came out of nowhere, stood aside, crying so dark that their liver and intestines were broken.

"Master, the sky is open!" Lu Yushi's wife knelt in front of the coffin, looking at the archway, tears fell like rain, her liver and intestines were broken, and she fainted with almost "desire".

The sons and daughters of the family all cried into tears.

In this situation, I cried when I heard it.

Sitting on the chair on the left, the emperor with gray hair, his eyes slightly closed, looked at the Lu family kneeling in front of the coffin, crying in pain. There was also a burst of colic in my heart.

"Lu Aiqing, I'm sorry for you!"

The emperor raised his head, and hot tears fell down his cheeks.

The funeral was in the middle of the ceremony, and the guests saluted.

The emperor swept his eyes and proposed to let the courtiers write an elegy for the history of Lu Yushi.

So, officials who wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the emperor stepped forward to offer gifts. All kinds of couplings emerge in endlessly.

However, most of them are praising the emperor for his insightful eyes and discernment. Occasionally, the credit for Lu Yushi is mentioned, but not much.

After the emperor took a look, his face became more and more gloomy.

Finally, under the recommendation of the courtiers, the emperor walked out of the crowd, stepped forward, picked up the "hair" pen, and without the slightest hesitation, the couplet was completed in one fell swoop:

Born for the country, died for the country, his life is chivalrous, and the coffin of merit and crime is still undecided;

The name is all over the world, the slander is all over the world, and the "chaos" of the World Bank's "spring" and autumn events are left to be judged by future generations
