Lu Mansion, Lu Bing Jingshe.

"Performance. The left governor of Jinyi and the pro-army are all commanding envoys. Chen, Lu Bing. ......"

A withered hand lifted the brush and trembled slightly on the fold of a yellow silk cover. However, one looked up, but wrote a pot of tea.

After lying in bed for half a year, Lu Bing only felt that his hands and feet were sore, and his vision was a little blurry. Every word I write has to be watched and studied for a long time before I put down the pen with difficulty.

"Secret report to the report, rumors of the story. In the future, if there is something, go straight to Xiyuan, why is there such a trouble? Lu Bing sighed in his heart: "I'm old, I'm really old." I am so old that my hands and feet tremble, and my eyes are dizzy. But I ...... He's only in his early fifties! ”

A kind of powerless desolation rose from the bottom of his heart, making the old man's vest, who was in charge of the largest spy agency of the Ming Dynasty, chill for a while.

Looking up at the gossip mirror hanging on the wall next to him, in the mirror was an old man with goosebumps, standing upright, as if it only needed a gust of wind to be blown away.

Fortunately, the windows were closed, and a dozen arm-thick candles were lit in the room, which were frighteningly bright. The light attracts countless moths on summer nights, fluttering and hitting the window paper in a continuous stream.

The room was stuffy and unbearable, and Lu Wei, the second master of the Lu family, was better, calm and elegant. The eldest lord Lu Yi and Mr. Clan Xue have long been sweating and wet, and the sweat on their foreheads is falling like rain.

Especially Mr. Dai, he had old wounds on his body, and when he sweated, the scars on his broken legs and face were itching like countless insects were biting.

After Lu Bing lay in bed for half a year, he finally recovered and was able to walk around on the ground.

Therefore, there were too many backlogs in the past six months, and he couldn't be busy alone, so he called his two sons and Mr. Dai over.

The three people in the house are Lu Bing's closest and most trusted people.

In normal times, anyone who coughs can cause a small earthquake in the capital.

Unfortunately, time has changed. Since Lu Bing played a discussion about the establishment of the prince, which made the emperor thunderous and angry, and fell into bed for half a year, he changed the world.

"Father, be careful!" Seeing that Lu Bing stopped writing, Lu Yi, the eldest master of the Lu family, hurriedly raised his voice: "Indeed, that Qiu Luan led the army to King Qin, and after coming to Beijing, he held tens of thousands of Xuan and elite in his hands. Sit back and watch me burn and loot in Gyeonggi, without firing a single knife or arrow from beginning to end. Fear the enemy and avoid war, and not killing is not enough to anger the people. But have you thought about it, my father, that Qiu Luan is the old man of Yan Ge......"

"Oh, what about Yan Song's people?" Lu Bing put down the pen in his hand, looked at his son lovingly, and encouraged him to continue.

In Lu Yi's eyes, his father was a strict person. Today, he was surprisingly kind, and suddenly raised his courage: "Father, when Jiajing was thirty-six years old, it seemed that an old Yan Ge had joined forces to bring down Xia Yan, a scholar of the Cabinet University. Now that the incense is still there, but he suddenly turned his face, it is a little unreasonable...... If this thing gets out...... Others ......"

"What should others say about me Lu Bing?" Lu Bing was still smiling.

Lu Yi suddenly became a little afraid: "Yes...... That's how it goes......"

"You, you, you, you, you're just too kind." Lu Bing sighed again, smiled bitterly, and pointed at Lu Yi and Lu Wei: "You two brothers, you are soft-hearted, narrow-minded, and in a high position. If I die, how will I get it? Alas, it's also my fault, I am too harsh on you in peacetime, but I don't want to make you so cowardly. That's right, Yan Song used to have an incense affair with me, but so what? Above the court, where there are many people to talk about. Everything is a great plan, once decided, it is a sword and a sword, and there can be no hesitation and pity. ”

Lu Yi is a reckless person, seeing that his father looked kind today, he plucked up his courage again: "Father, having said that. But you have caused the anger of the Lord of Long Live because of the establishment of the prince a while ago, and now, it is time to take over the close ministers of the Son of Heaven and speak on your behalf. My father is an old minister of His Majesty's dragon dive, and if he intends to do it, it will not be difficult for His Majesty to regain his favor when he remembers the feelings of the past. But my father has stayed at home for half a year, and he doesn't even care about the affairs of Jinyiwei, but now he wants to provoke the elder Yan Ge. Yan Song is the person who can be used before the Son of Heaven drives, and it may not be useful for him to say good things for his father, but if he enters a few slanderous words, it is also convenient. Three people become tigers, maybe ......"

"Maybe what, it's a big deal that I can't do it, and I'm even sent to prison." Lu Bing's expression became stern, and he sneered: "The Son of Heaven is close to the minister, the Son of Heaven is close to the minister...... Yan Song is a close minister, but he can write a few green words. Others don't know Your Majesty, but I know this Banzai Lord clearly. What he had in his old man's heart was just an iron stone, otherwise, the Great Etiquette would not have had such a high and ruthless method. ”

was scolded by his father, and the sweat on Lu Yi's forehead became denser, but he was unconvinced: "Those who don't plan for a while are not enough for a lifetime." ”

"For the rest of your life, you're a mouse-eyed." Lu Bing sneered and coughed lightly: "That's right, once this fold is handed over to His Majesty, there will be another uproar in the court." With His Majesty's surname, Qiu Luan and Yan Song are all finished. It's not a pity for Qiu Luan to die. But Yan Song has been operating in the DPRK for many years, and his protégés and former officials are intertwined, and they will inevitably fight back. My Lu family won't have a good time. Besides......"

"Besides, Your Majesty also intends to move Yan Song." Substitution of time to insert.

"That's right." Lu Bing sat up straight: "Your Majesty was originally a half-immortal body, but because of taking the elixir all year round, the body is no longer complete." If it were in normal times, I wouldn't have thought of going here. But as soon as I fell ill, I couldn't do it. But it reminded Long Live that everyone is old, and there is not much time left, and the things behind him are urgent. Yan Song's power in the court is so great, if His Majesty ascends the throne after 10,000 years, I am afraid that when the ministers are strong and the lords are weak, it will not be the blessing of the country. Lu Bing has followed Banzai since he was a child, and he does all the dirty work that His Majesty is inconvenient to do and unwilling to do. Before he died, he dirty his hands again and helped His Majesty move the stone of Yan Song. ”

This is the first time that the eldest and second masters of the Lu family have heard their father speak so deeply, and they immediately suddenly realized.

The two brothers glanced at each other, but Lu Yi had a smile on his face. couldn't help but turn his head to his father and said, "Father's words are like seeing the blue sky through the clouds." If my father can remove the stumbling block of Yan Ge Lao for Long Live this time, when the time comes, not only Jian is in the emperor's heart, but even King Yu and Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, will have to inherit your old man's affection. High, really high. Haha, I've been suffocated for half a year. When others saw that my Lu family had lost their holy family, they all stared at their faces. Even the officials who our Lu family had brought in before wanted to overturn the sky. Haha, if the father can regain His Majesty's trust this time, the son will want to look at the faces of those fools, haha. ”

"Stupid."

"What...... Father, Lord ......" Lu Yi shrank in embarrassment.

"I said you're a fool, it's worthless to call you over today." Lu Bing snorted and set his eyes on his second son. But I saw the old man Lu Wei standing here with a respectful face, looking confused.

Lu Bing almost groaned in pain: These two sons, none of them are talented!

"Dai Shisheng, you talk to these two idiots." Lu Bing pointed at his two sons with a trembling finger, and then closed his eyes in disappointment.

Dai Shisheng nodded, and arched his hand towards the Lu family brothers: "Two masters, if this fold is really handed over." I'm afraid that my Lu family will not only not be able to regain its prestige, but will fall. The biggest possibility is that Lu Gong can't even command the Jinyi army. ”

"Ah, how so. In this case, why do you want to impeach Yan Song? The two masters of the Lu family screamed at the same time.

Mr. Dai said slowly: "That's right, Your Majesty is bent on moving to Yan Ge Lao to clear the way for the wealthy king to take over the throne in the future." Not only that, but the old ministers of Jiajing Nian must also be purged. A blank piece of paper is good for painting, and only then can a beautiful essay be written. But don't forget, our Long Live Lord is a strong and unwinnable ruler, very assertive, once the matter is decided, there is no one to talk about. My Lu family is probably also on his old man's cleaning list. This time, I can not only remove Yan Ge, but also take advantage of the situation to suppress my Lu family. Being in this whirlpool, how can my Lu family retreat with all their bodies. It turned out to be a lose-lose outcome. ”

Boss Lu shouted suddenly: "Mr. Dai, if this is the case, why does my father go on this fold?" ”

Mr. Dai: "There is an advantage to this excerpt, although at present, my Lu family will lose power for a while, but as soon as King Yu ascends the throne in the future, he will think of Lu Gong's merits." My Lu family will regain the glory of the past. ”

"I see." The two masters of the Lu family glanced at each other again, their faces showed joy at the same time, and then they looked at their father with admiration.

Lu Bing was still closing his eyes and recuperating.

Dai Shisheng whispered: "Two masters, Lu Gong is tired. ”

The two of them saluted their father respectfully and quietly withdrew.

As soon as the two sons left the house, Lu Bing opened his eyes suddenly, but there were two fine lights like knives in his eyes: "Shisheng, what is the situation on Jinyiwei's side now?" ”

Dai Shisheng: "If you go back to Lu Gong, Wan Wenming is fine, basically nothing else, just a decoration." ”

"He knows how to protect himself, and he knows what role he should play. His Majesty's dragon body is also not successful, but the court has not known in what direction it will develop in the past few years. Being in a high position, it is better not to do it, and it is better to be still than to be still. ”

Dai Shisheng said with a smile: "Wan Wenming is also a transition, and he can't do this thing for long, if he wants to make a difference, it is the way to die." However, that Zhu Xizhong has been very brave and diligent in Nanya recently, which is a big constraint for the eldest master. Zhu Neng's descendants and ancestors have also been wealthy, so they naturally refuse to let go of such an opportunity. ”

"Zhu Xizhong, that is the team that His Majesty prepared for King Yu in advance. As soon as I hand this fold over, I guess I will take over my position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

"Well, I guess that's the case." Mr. Dai and Lu Bingbin have been in charge for more than 20 years, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority in private, and they speak very casually: "Duke Lu, you have made such a great contribution to King Yu, and this position will return to our Lu family sooner or later in the future." ”

"Who can say what will happen in the future, I am also gambling." Lu Bing said awe-inspiringly: "As ordinary people say, wealth is only three generations, and my Lu family has been rich for five generations, so it is said that it should have declined a long time ago." But I don't believe in this fate, and I have to gamble once. I have been a cow and a horse for my children and grandchildren all my life, and when it comes, I still can't let go. The two sons are useless, so they can only plant trees in their predecessors, and their juniors can enjoy the shade. Lu Bing estimates that he will not survive this winter, and even if he dies, the spirit of a certain person in the sky will have to shelter two generations. ”

He reached out, grabbed the brush, and continued: "For please." On the fifth day of the first month of August this year, he impeached the chief military officer of Datong, Qiu Luan, who lost his land and risked his merits to ask for a reward. ”
