After arranging the matter of transferring the talisman to Lu Heng, the expression on the emperor's face was obviously a little embarrassed.

After this holy decree was issued, it was his intention to admit his mistakes and apologize like Lu Heng.

This is something that has never been done for an emperor to apologize to his courtiers.

After struggling to tell this thing that had been held in his heart for a long time, the emperor felt a sudden lightness in his body, as if he had lifted a thousand catties of weight from his shoulders.

It's just that I finally said it. But seeing Zhang Wenshan standing in place and moving slightly, it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

"What are you doing here?" Under the emperor's weak heart, his voice was inevitably a little high. glared at Zhang Wenshan and reprimanded loudly.

Zhang Wenshan hunched his waist, his heart was uneasy, he bowed, then looked at the emperor's face cautiously, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask you a word!" ”

The emperor sat on the chair with a big grin, leaned forward, looked at Zhang Wenshan, and saw that the old man's eyes were evasive, the emperor looked away weakly, coughed, and said loudly: "Say whatever you want, what does it look like!" ”

After Zhang Wenshan hesitated for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor is in your heart, is he a courtier or a friend?" ”

The emperor was stunned by this sentence.

After putting down the teacup and being silent for a while, the emperor raised his head and looked at Zhang Wenshan in front of him fixedly.

"I know!" The emperor's face instantly darkened, he sighed, leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said lightly.

Years after the year, the emperor sent Kong Kanglian and Zhang Wenshan to test Lu Heng's meaning. But the other party seems to be really disheartened and doesn't want to pay attention to the government anymore.

When the emperor heard the news, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

I am the Ninety-Five, the king of a country, and I can send people down to invite you back to the court, which has given you enough face. What else do you want, do you have to let me beg you in a low voice?

I am the emperor. And you are a courtier.

When Zhang Wenshan returned to Tokyo in vain, the emperor even killed the unruly Lu Heng in his heart.

Since ancient times, the king has called his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

Lu Heng, are you forcing me to do something to you?

With this mentality, it has been until today.

Today, I finally received a handwritten letter from Lu Heng. The emperor's heart suddenly relaxed.

thought to himself, fortunately, Lu Heng finally remembered the duty of a courtier.

Therefore, just when he wanted Lu Heng to carry the heavy burden, the emperor still had that commanding tone. Naturally, as if it were meant to be the case.

However, it wasn't until Zhang Wenshan asked that the emperor realized that the reason why his relationship with Lu Heng was so stiff.

Cause......

It's my heart that has changed.

recalled that when they met in Taoyuan, he and Lu Heng. The days when the three of Lu Zhi drank and talked happily. There is also Lu Heng's expedition to Goryeo, and he saw Lu Heng off. At that time, there were no kings and ministers, only friends. The three of them talked happily and talked freely. Freedom without restraints.

Now, looking back, that period of time in Taoyuan seems to be the happiest day in decades.

And when he was seriously ill, he began to worry and began to be afraid.

I'm afraid that the scholar who can do almost anything has such a lot of power in his hands. This power is enough to subvert the Great Zhou court and change the dynasty.

At that time, he was on guard.

Therefore, after Lu Heng returned to Beijing, he did not hesitate to show the majesty of imperial power to Lu Heng. At the same time, he also took away Lu Heng's military power.

And, at that time, the emperor really wanted to kill him.

If, if it weren't for Hong Fatzi stirring up the situation on the spot. Perhaps, he has already killed Lu Heng.

Ay......

The Emperor leaned back in the dragon chair and let out a long sigh.

remembered that day in the underground palace, when Lu Heng stood in front of him, there was both disappointment and helplessness in those clear eyes, and it was more of a strange farewell.

Thinking of Lu Heng's eyes, the emperor suddenly realized that he was really wrong.

On that day, not only did he lose his only good friend, but also Da Zhou lost a wizard of governance who could ensure that the country would not be chaotic for a hundred years.

And the cause is just my own speculation.

One wrong step, one hundred wrong steps.

The emperor leaned back on the dragon chair and sighed in his heart.

Sit down, Zhang Wenshan, who was standing there, saw that His Majesty never spoke, just sat there in a daze.

After thinking about it in his heart, he shook his head with a little regret.

Let this iron-blooded monarch who has never bowed his head in his life admit his mistakes and apologize. Oh, it seems unlikely.

Zhang Wenshan smiled bitterly in his heart and sighed regretfully.

"Minister, let's go down and pass the decree!" Zhang Wenshan shook his head, and after throwing out the regret in his heart, he took a deep breath, bowed his hand, and turned around to go out.

No matter what the relationship between His Majesty and Lu Heng is, Lu Heng is always his best friend.

It was, it is, and it will still be!

That's enough!

Now that I think about it, it's really nice to have a friend like Lu Heng! .

Zhang Wenshan adjusted his mentality in an instant. He smiled easily, smashed his mouth, and was about to step out.

"Wait!" At this moment, the slightly tired voice of the emperor came from behind him.

Zhang Wenshan stopped, turned his head, and bowed to the emperor: "What else does Your Majesty command?" ”

The emperor slowly stood up with his chair, stared at the letter on the table, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head, looked directly at Zhang Wenshan, and said seriously: "Tell Yongzheng that I will personally apologize to him for the Spring Festival next year!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Wenshan thought he had heard it wrong at first, looked at the emperor next to the dragon chair incredulously, and said in surprise: "You, what did you say?" ”

The emperor sighed and said gloomily: "At the Spring Festival next year, I will apologize to Lu Heng in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. ”

The emperor shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his hand and touched the throne beside him, which symbolized supreme authority, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "It's me who is suspicious, I, it's really wrong!" ”

Behind him, Zhang Wenshan, who was standing at the door of the imperial study, heard this, and his eyes turned red under the excitement in his heart.

With a feeling in his heart, he lifted the front hem of his robe, knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, Shengming!" ”

When the emperor saw Zhang Wenshan kneeling on the ground, he grinned, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, and finally felt a sense of relief that he hadn't felt for a long time.

The afternoon sun shines through the windows and doors.

Wisps of sunlight shine on the smooth floor, reflecting a warm glow.

In the imperial study, the dazzling bright yellow silk is glowing with the warmth of the sun.

The cold and dim imperial study seemed to light up in an instant.

……

Chengdu.

Zhizhou Mansion Yazhong.

Lu Heng, who lived in a courtyard, waited for Agui, who had been away for seven days.

Seeing Agui come back, the happiest person is Sang Biao.

In the past few days, he has personally protected Lu Heng's safety, but Sang Biao has been tired.

is a good behemoth, after seven days, he has lost a whole circle.

Now, seeing Agui carrying a large group of Miao specialties and laughing into the yard, Sang Biao was moved and wanted to cry.

After rubbing his sour nose, Sang Biao took a deep breath, opened his arms, and walked towards Agui, ready to give this Agui, who was closer than the uncle, a grateful hug.

You're finally here, and you don't need me to protect your son anymore.

I'm exhausted!

Sang Biao's heart was moved, and he took two steps, and his eyes were already filled with tears.

On the other side, Ah Gui, who walked in from the door, laughed and opened his arms.

Sang Biao raised his hand and pretended to wipe away a handful of tears, and stepped forward.

With a plop, Agui directly shook his hand and stuffed a bunch of dried fruit specialties on the sword into Sang Biao's arms. Then he looked behind Sang Biao with great resentment.

"Childe!" Ah Gui rubbed his eyes vigorously, until his rubbed eyes were redder than the monkey's buttocks on Mount Emei, and then he called Lu Heng delicately, and walked over with open arms.

Behind him, Sang Biao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously hugged the thing, and then looked down at the dozens of catties of local specialties in his arms, and his cheeks trembled.

Lu Heng, who was standing at the door of the room, smiled slightly, walked over, and gave a warm hug to Agui: "Are you back?" ”

"How's it going without makeup? Are you okay? ”

Ah Gui's face was excited and moved, and he suddenly froze on his face, and the words that came to his mouth were stabbed back at once. I opened my mouth wide and was stunned for a long time. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his face stiffened.

Behind him, Sang Biao, who was holding a bunch of dry goods, smiled after seeing Agui's stiff body, and finally balanced his heart.

Ah Gui let go of Lu Heng, looked at the anxious son in front of him with a resentful face, and said with resentment: "Childe, Ah Gui rushed back overnight!" ”

Lu Heng was stunned, smiled bitterly, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with frustration: "Oh, yes, yes, you see, I was too anxious to forget about this matter." Who's that?"

Lu Heng beckoned to Sang Biao: "Sang Biao, go and take Agui to sleep!" ”

Ah Gui suddenly had black lines on his head, and said with a wry smile: "Childe, Ah Gui is not sleepy, but hungry!" ”

Lu Heng smiled awkwardly, took Agui's hand, and apologized: "Look, I'm so happy to see you, I forgot about this stubble!" ”

Ah Gui lowered his head and pouted, thinking: I'm afraid I want to see the holy aunt like crazy!

Lu Heng didn't notice Agui's resentment, he still laughed and took Agui's hand, and walked towards home without saying anything, saying as he walked: "Let's go, it's about to start, let's talk while eating!" “

raised his head and glanced at the busy kitchen, and said in a low voice: "Tell me about the lack of makeup!" ”

Ah Gui smiled, but after a while, Ah Gui's smile froze on his face. In its place, there was a respectful look.

"Third lady, you, why did you come out!" Ah Gui smiled, flatteringly walked towards this side, and Su Qianqian, who was wearing a red dress, said hello with a smile.

Suddenly hearing Ah Gui's voice, Lu Heng had a smiler on his face, and his face froze in an instant.
