Chapter 246: Think Twice
The fact that the second master Lu was punished to kneel on the snow made Wu Jie's heart feel very happy, thinking of the humiliation he suffered when he proposed marriage, and now he really has some eyebrows to raise, but he didn't expect anything else, and he didn't expect that Chen Hong had already killed Lu Wei and was ready to freeze Lu Wei to death.
This point is also the difference between modern people and ancient people. The ancients, especially those who were in high positions, either did not do it, or if they wanted to do it, they had to do it absolutely, leaving no troubles, no way out, and no chance for others.
Wu Jie was just surprised that Chen Hong's spirit today seemed to be suddenly excited, first accompanied him and the emperor in the Taoist temple to play Luo Tian Dajiao, asked Wu Jie to make three green words in one breath, and then instructed the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple to clean up a beautiful meal.
During the banquet, he was also careful to serve Emperor Jiajing, which made him happy.
When dinner was finished, Emperor Jiajing drove back to the palace satisfied.
The sky was already slightly dark, and Wu Jie looked up to see that the snow was falling even more, and it had lasted all day.
When he used to serve the emperor in Xiyuan, Wu Jie didn't feel anything, but today he stayed in Beiding Niangniang Temple for a day, but he felt that his body was a little weak, and he couldn't help but yawn for a long time.
The Son of Heaven's cart had already traveled far, but Wu Jie and Chen Hong had not yet gotten into the car, but slowly walked towards the outside of the temple.
These two people, one is the governor of Dongchang, and the other is the upstart in front of the emperor. This is also the first time we have been alone together, and we both feel the need to communicate with each other.
"Others only see the scenery of our close ministers, but who knows that before driving with the attendants is the most tiring and tiring thing in the world. You have to be careful from beginning to end, and if you say the right thing, you should do it, but if you say it wrong, your previous efforts will be in vain. Shizhen can't bear it? ”
Chen Hong and Wu Jie talked as they walked.
Behind were two eunuchs carrying palace lamps, and the moth also followed from a distance.
"But I'm a little tired." Wu Jie also smiled bitterly.
Chen Hong came up and slowed down on his feet: "Actually, our majesty is all due to the grace of the Long Live Lord." When you are favored, you are the lord of everyone in the palace, but once the lord of Banzai looks at you unpleasantly. The affectionate sons who shouted 'godfather' and 'godfather' immediately treated you as stinky shit, and they didn't bother to step on it. Shizhen is better than our family, you are a civil official, if you are a jinshi in the future, you will have your own fellow scholars. Everyone in the world is a family, and if you take 10,000 steps back, it will be a bad thing in the future. There will also be people who will say good things for you, and they will be unhappy. Unlike our chamberlains, if we fall, we will fall, and there will be no chance. Shizhen, we can be regarded as acquaintances at first sight, and our family is very envious of your status as a civil official. The spring of the coming year will definitely be successful. ”
"Whether it is in the middle or not, one is personnel, and the other is providence, but I can't say for sure." Wu Jie smiled: "Actually, being a civil official also has the hardships of being a civil official, and there are also its cautious points. For example, the Chen that Wu Jie went on just now, there is no way back. ”
Previously, when he was eating fasting, Chen Hong had also seen Wu Jie's article Chen, and he was also consulted by the emperor. Chen Hong felt that it was still feasible, and together with him, plus Huang Jin, the celebrant was sure of Wu Jie's proposal.
Chen Hong sighed: "You civil officials don't often say, 'Think twice as an official', what do you mean by thinking twice, that is, thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change." Knowing the danger and knowing to avoid it, this is thinking about danger. Hide in a place where no one pays attention to you, and you will think about retreating. If you retire, you still have a chance, and then look slowly, think slowly, and figure out what you did wrong in the past and how to change it in the future. But Shizhen's excerpt was so shocked that there was no room to retreat. ”
Among the two elders of the celebrant supervisor, Huang Jin is a tolerant, kind-hearted person with the style of an elder. And this Chen Hong is a living strategist, and he is very skilled in the understanding and application of power techniques.
Wu Jie smiled slightly: "Gong Chen, I can't do anything about this Chen, and I regret it in my heart." However, since Banzai asked, could it be that I, as a courtier, still pretend to be confused? Besides, I don't have an official position now, and even if others want to impeach, they can't impeach me...... Hey, that's ......."
Wu Jie suddenly saw a snowman kneeling in the open space outside the mountain gate of the Beiding Niangniang Temple.
"Who?" Wu Jie was taken aback and couldn't help but stop.
Chen Hong couldn't pretend not to see it, so he had to point to the snowman, and two eunuchs stepped forward and stretched out their hands to wipe the snowman's face.
Behind, the moth screamed: "Isn't this the second master Lu from before, he has been kneeling for an afternoon, my God, is it freezing to death?" ”
Wu Jie was also taken aback, although he hated Second Master Lu. But after all, he is Lu Fatzi's father, and he is the same brother as Lu Changqing, even if this Lu Wei is wrong in a thousand ways, he can be regarded as his elder.
"Gong Chen, Lord Lu is kind to me Wu Jie, I am old, I have been kneeling on the snow for so long, I am afraid that my body will not be able to withstand it, please ......"
Chen Hong glanced at Lu Wei, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Then, quickly hidden.
After a long time, he nodded and expressed his willingness to let Lu Wei go.
He slowly walked to the side of Second Master Lu: "Get up, Long Live Lord has already driven back to the palace, and the nine gates will be closed in another hour, and you won't be able to enter the city if it's too late." Although the thing you committed is big, after all, you are the son of Lu Gong. Besides, Long Live Lord probably forgot about your shocking driving, so don't be afraid. ”
Second Master Lu still knelt there upright, without reacting.
Chen Hong's voice became loud and stiff: "Get up." ”
Second Master Lu still didn't move.
Wu Jie was in a hurry and rushed forward to pick him up.
But he couldn't pick it up.
The two eunuchs also stepped forward and shouted: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu, Godfather said you can go back...... Godfather, Lord Lu is frozen! ”
Chen Hong was furious: "Pretend, Lu Wei, do you want to learn from Xie Jin back then, and prepare to freeze to death in the snow?" Okay, good, if you want to be famous, our family will fulfill you. ”
After speaking, he waved his sleeves and arched his hand towards Wu Jie: "Shizhen, Ming said that I remember to come to Xiyuan, Your Majesty is in short supply." ”
After speaking, the two eunuchs left angrily.
Wu Jie also knew that Chen Hong didn't rub sand in his eyes, and he had already hated Second Master Lu so much, but he was afraid that he would freeze to death.
Shook his head helplessly, and helped Lu Wei up: "Moth, come and take a hand." That's the Taoist chief, come and help. ”
Next to the mountain gate, a Taoist priest hurriedly ran over and carried Lu Wei into the meditation room with Wu Jie.
Second Master Lu was indeed frozen, and the whole human root was carried straight into it by Wu Jie and a little Taoist priest.
Moth is a self-cooked person, and her hands and feet are also nimble, and when Wu Jie just lifted Lu Wei to sit on the chair, she brought a basin of steaming foot washing water, and took off Lu Wei's feet and was about to send it to the hot soup.
Wu Jie was taken aback: "I can't help it, as long as he stretches his foot, it will be finished in hot water." ”
"What's wrong?" The moth was a little puzzled.
Wu Jie smiled bitterly, this little girl is a southerner, how do you know that people who are frozen don't need to have hot water and hot compresses, otherwise they will be broken immediately. He had to rub the snow little by little, and slowly warm his body to save him.
After explaining the reason, Moth was startled: "It's dangerous." ”
Because he wanted to undress Lu Wei, Mozi retreated with Wu Jie.
The snow in the yard was much thicker, and after a busy day, Mozi and Wu Jie finally had a little free.
Recalling this situation, Mozi only came back to his senses now: "Master, am I dreaming that I actually saw Banzai Ye...... Also, sir, you actually talk and laugh with Long Live Lord......" The expression was frightened, confused, and proud.
Wu Jie smiled: "It's all true, not a dream." ”
"Ah, I see."
"What do you understand?" Wu Jie asked.
Mozi said proudly: "What kind of person is my master, that is the first talent in Sichuan, and now he has the name of Xie Yuan, presumably the emperor also heard your name, so he ordered you to come and meet." I have seen a lot of this kind of thing with Lian Guizhi in the play, what is super for Tian Sheweng, twilight on Tianzitang, white dragon fish suit, cloth clothes and beautiful appearance. ”
"What a mess...... Wu Jie laughed, reached out and touched the moth's hand, a little cold. The moth strangely did not withdraw its hand, nor did it get angry.
At this time, the Taoist priest in the meditation room shouted Wu Jie: "My lord, my lord, Lord Lu has woken up." ”
Lu Wei was wearing only a single coat, and he was sitting on a chair shivering.
Although he tried his best to grit his teeth and make a dignified and majestic appearance, his teeth kept chattering up and down, making a crisp sound.
The fire burned so vigorously that the whole room was red.
But the wooden basin by the stove was filled with snow, and a Taoist priest grabbed the snow and rubbed it vigorously on his feet.
After a long time, Second Master Lu groaned: "Hey, am I dead or alive?" ”
"Lord Lu is naturally alive." Next to him, an old Taoist priest poured a bowl of ginger soup into Lu Wei's mouth and said, "Lord Lu, my father Lu Gong has an old relationship with me, I remember that when you came to the temple with Lu Gong to burn incense, you were only a teenager." I can't imagine that so many years have passed. ”
This person is the presiding officer of the Beiding Niangniang Temple, and this Taoist name means "I have been assisted by ghosts and gods from one, and I have gone to heaven and earth beyond ancient and modern."
Beiding Niangniang Temple was originally a royal Taoist temple, and a Taoist has not seen what kind of dignitaries and nobles have not seen in the past few decades, and he wants to be Lu Bing is so prominent. It's only been a few years, and the Lu family has fallen into this, which really makes him a little embarrassed.
After being poured two mouthfuls of hot soup, Lu Wei finally relieved himself, and there was a trace of vitality on his pale face.
"One Immortal Chang ......" Second Master Lu sighed, closed his eyes slightly, but two lines of tears flowed down.
Wu Jie saw Lu Wei crying, although he was happy in his heart, he was also sad for him: "Second master, the city gate is about to close, if you want to go back to the house, you can take a ride with Wu Jie." If you can't walk, you might as well stay in the temple for one more night. ”
