Chapter 17: Investigate the palace, Dong Cheng acts!
"Master Hou, Lord Sikong is coming to you, please get up quickly." Ling'er urged Lu Rui to get up.
"Huh? Isn't it, didn't the wife Cao belong to the candle night in the cave room yesterday, and the Spring Festival was worth a thousand gold? Recruited people again so early, something big happened? Lu Rui touched his head, it hurts, I drank too much yesterday, by the way, it's a dream!
"Master Hou, get up, Lord Sikong is looking for you!" After speaking, Ling'er took an ear of wheat and touched it in front of Lu Rui's nose.
"Aaqiu!"
Lu Rui rubbed his eyes, looked at Ling'er and said, "Ling'er? Don't make a fuss, my middle father will look for me? Yesterday he accepted a new lady! ”
"Master Hou, Lord Sikong is really looking for you, and you have all gone to the front yard!" Ling'er said anxiously.
"What?" Ling'er, what time is it now? "Lu Rui thought that the Zou family's etiquette of worshipping the Ding family had missed, that was a big crime!
"Huh? Hou Ye has just broken the dawn! Ling'er helped Lu Rui up and said unhurriedly.
"Dawn?" That's not a bad thing, why is Lao Cao here?
"Ling'er, give me a bowl of sobering soup, and let the next person serve the middle father first!"
"Yes, Master Hou!"
Lu Rui quickly changed his clothes and came to the main hall, not only Cao Cao, but also Guo Jia and Liu Ye.
"The child participates in the middle father!" When Lu Rui saw Cao Cao, he immediately went over to salute.
"Master Hou!"
"Rui'er!"
"Master and Ziyang are also here?" Lu Rui asked suspiciously, Lao Cao actually brought these two people? The spy commander in Cao's camp?
"Rui'er? Not awake yet? Looking at Lu Rui's appearance, Cao Cao asked jokingly.
"This?"
"Rui'er, sit down, it's the middle father who bothered you, and the middle father drank too much last night!"
"Head, it hurts!"
"Hehe, middle father?" At this time, Lu Rui discovered that there was actually a trace of blood on Cao Cao's forehead.
"Rui'er, is this your eldest mother?" Cao Cao said awkwardly.
"Auntie" Lu Rui was taken aback, why did Ding Laohu make Lao Cao like this?
"It's a long story!" Cao Cao sighed, took a sip of tea, and shook his head.
"Father, what the hell is going on?"
Then Cao Cao told Lu Rui about the events of early this morning. It turned out that early this morning, Liu Xie sent someone to Sikong's mansion to summon Zou and Ding into the palace, on the grounds that Zou and Dong Guifei were old acquaintances, and went to the palace to catch up on the old days, and at the same time recruited Mrs. Sikong to accompany the audience.
The most terrible thing is that when the father-in-law of the inner court came to deliver the decree, he met Ding Laohu and the Zou family, and Ding Laohu was hindered by the system of the imperial court and saluted the Zou family.
"Ding's see An Hanjun!" This sentence made Zou very embarrassed, and he hurriedly helped Ding up and didn't dare to, but Ding was angry in his heart, and gave Lao Cao a hand when he returned to the room, but the murder weapon was ignored.
After hearing this, Lu Rui had a general idea in his heart, the Ding family and the Zou family must have something hidden, but this is not what Lu Rui should investigate. Lu Rui thought for a moment and asked, "The reason why the middle father came to Rui'er?"
"Rui'er, now that your eldest mother is still in the palace, you go to the palace to explore the truth and truth, and by the way, get the information in the palace back!"
"Yes, middle father, the child will change his clothes and enter the palace immediately!" In order to facilitate his own access to Lu Rui's elixir, Emperor Han Ling once issued an order to allow Lu Rui to enter and leave the palace at will, and his father's will, his son is not good to disobey, and because of Cao Cao's strength, Liu Xie also agreed that Lu Rui would enter the palace at any time to meet him!
"Well, Rui'er, you bring some gifts to thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of the Cao family!"
"Yes, Father!"
"Hmm."
"What else is the matter with the middle father?" Seeing Cao Cao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Lu Rui arched his hand and asked.
"Enter the palace first, and after returning to Sikong Mansion, come to the study to see me at night, and there are still some things for Rui'er to do!"
"Yes, Father Zhong, it seems that Lao Cao still cares about his wife, after all, he shares weal and bene; After Lu Rui changed into the Hou Ye's clothes, he entered the palace.
Lu Rui just entered the palace, greeted Liu Xie, gave a gift, left after a few words of greeting, and went to Dong Guifei's bedroom, Ding Laohu and Zou were still there!
Lu Rui was only halfway through when he met the angry Ding Laohu rushing towards him.
"Rui'er has seen the eldest lady!" Lu Rui immediately saluted the Ding family.
"Rui'er, have you entered the palace?"
"Yes, eldest mother, the middle father is worried about the eldest mother, so he specially asked Rui'er to come and take a look!" Lu Rui said sincerely.
Ding glanced at Lu Rui and sneered: "He, Cao Mengde, will still take care of the love of husband and wife?" Hmph, Rui'er, where is your middle father? ”
"This? The middle father is still in Sikong Mansion. ”
"Good! I'm going to find him! After saying that, Ding left angrily.
"Auntie?" Before Lu Rui could react, the Ding clan had already disappeared.
"Sister, sister!" The Ding family is gone, and the Zou family has reappeared!
"An Hanjun!" Lu Rui arched his hand and greeted the Zou family.
"Little Hou Ye!" The Zou family also returned the salute to Lu Rui, outside, these two people are both people with titles, and they can't lose the face of the court, so they have to pretend, and they have to pretend.
"Madam, auntie?"
"Alas, Rui'er, Concubine Dong Guifei has bad intentions, Mrs. Ben has just entered Cao's Mansion, and she has been calculated like this, how will I get along with my eldest sister in the future?"
"Don't say it, Rui'er, I'm going home, persuade the eldest sister and inform the adults!" After saying that, Zou also left in a hurry.
"This?" Another one is gone, it's really messy, Sikong Mansion is going to be troublesome again!
Thinking of this, Lu Rui shook his head, and didn't go to Concubine Dong anymore, he found the inside line in the palace, took the information and returned to Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao still had something to do at night to find himself.
"Middle Father!" In the evening, Lu Rui came to Cao Cao's study, and Guo Jia and Liu Ye also came.
"Rui'er, sit down!"
"Yes, Father!" Seeing that Cao Cao's face was not good-looking, Lu Rui knew that Ding Laohu must have been powerful again, and he didn't even eat dinner together today.
"Rui'er, do you think His Majesty's attitude towards the Zou family is a bit strange recently?"
"This?"
"Does the middle father think that there is a master behind His Majesty?" Lu Rui tested Cao Cao in a suspicious tone.
"Not sure. However, I have discussed with Feng Xiao and Ziyang, if it is just His Majesty's intention, it is nothing, but if there is a master, this person must be found out, and find out the true intentions of this person! ”
"Yes, the boy understands!" Lu Rui also felt that Liu Xie's recent actions were a little weird, like someone pointed out, and it didn't seem to be, when did Liu Xie's strategy become so weird? Be vigilant!
"Okay, the rest of the matter will be discussed by Fengxiao and Ziyang and Rui'er, and the middle father is going back to the room!"
"Yes, Father." Cao Cao nodded and left.
"Master Hou, Feng Xiao, Ziyang also left, the two of them discussed, and then ordered Ziyang to act, Ziyang's task is just to cooperate with the two!"
"Brother Ziyang, please!" Liu Ye said so, and Lu Rui didn't force him to stay, so he let Liu Ye go back first.
"Master!" After Liu Ye left, Lu Rui began to have the opportunity to talk to Guo Jia.
"Well, Rui'er, do you think Your Majesty has a master around you to give you advice?"
"This, Rui'er is not sure, what does the master think?"
"There must be a master behind Your Majesty, and it is aimed at Lord Sikong!"
"Why is the master so sure?"
"The series of events that have happened recently, although the teacher has not personally experienced it, but it is too coincidental, and if it is too coincidental, there will be problems, An Hanjun? Does Rui'er know how many women are in Dahan? ”
"There are a lot of them, but they are usually canonized only by royal relatives?"
"Except for the royal family?"
"Relatives of foreign relatives and ministers!"
"Yes, the king is comparable to a prince, a woman is a king, the direction is very clear, can Zhang Xiu be a minister? Or is it being taken advantage of? ”
"Master thinks someone wants to use Zhang Xiu to make a fuss?"
"Hmph, the heart of defense is indispensable, we don't know if Zhang Xiu wants to be a powerful minister, but the Zou family is the king, Zhang Xiu can't help but be complimented, it will not be a good thing at that time, especially Zhang Xiu, who holds the power of the army!"
"It doesn't matter if it's just His Majesty's entourage! It's just a grievance, if there is really a master behind? Master, then we're all played! Lu Rui looked at Guo Jia playfully, interesting, someone actually wanted to play Xu Du's heroes!
"Rui'er's analogy is very appropriate, as a teacher, you must catch this person!"
"Then the master thinks this person is here?"
"In the palace, it is very likely that it is someone close to His Majesty!"
"Why?"
"Time! The holy decree of marrying the Zou family and the holy decree of canonizing the Zou family are too fast, if there is a master, this person must be in the palace and can see the holy decree at almost the same time as His Majesty! ”
"Rui'er understands, tomorrow and the master will start investigating the palace before!"
"Good! I'm going to say goodbye to my teacher, Rui'er, don't be snooze! ”
"Yes, master!" Damn, I'm a snooze? That's just a bit of laziness.
Lu Rui and Guo Jia were investigating the palace, and Dong Cheng also began to move around in Xudu.
"Guozhang, Uncle Liu Huang has sent vegetables again, please taste them!"
"Good, good! Ah Fu, send me some fruits in return and give them to Uncle Huang to taste! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Bei has been very well-behaved recently, and he has planted vegetables in his own house, don't say, what the Emperor of Shu Han did was a must, growing vegetables was definitely the first in Xu Du, hot pot was just emerging in the Han Dynasty, Lu Rui loved it, the vegetables under the hot pot were provided by Liu Bei, and Uncle Liu Huang planted vegetables? The best in the world! The vegetables grown are big and delicious! It has become a dish treasure of many dignitaries and nobles in Xudu!
"Uncle Huang, the villain is from Lord Dong's house, and the abbot specially instructed the villain to send some fruits in the house for the uncle to taste, thank the uncle for the vegetables sent to the uncle."
"So, thank you for me!" Liu Bei personally came out to receive the fruits, and he was very modest, not like a great Han emperor uncle at all.
"Uncle Huang, this is a poem written by the Emperor to thank Uncle Huang, please accept it!"
"So, thank you very much!" Dong Cheng wrote poems to express his gratitude? Which one is this?
Liu Bei took the white silk, and when he saw it, he was shocked in his heart, but he quickly stabilized, and then looked at Ah Fu suspiciously and said: "Ah Fu, Guozhang's poems are really extraordinary, especially one of them?" ”
"Hehe, Uncle Huang, the villain is illiterate, and the poems of the abbot can't be understood, but the abbot asked the villain to hand it over to the uncle, since there is nothing to do, the villain has left!"
"I see, Ah Fu, thank you for me!"
"Yes, Uncle Huang!"
Looking at Ah Fu's distant figure, Liu Bei showed a fierce gaze.
A few days later, in Dong Cheng's mansion, Ah Fu's body was in the main hall, Dong Cheng looked at it and asked, "Who killed Ah Fu?" ”
"This? The villain doesn't know, it's just that the killer is vicious and kills with one blow! ”
"Please forgive me!" The subordinates hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"Okay, I don't blame you for this, just be careful in the future, let's go down."
The subordinates looked at each other, Dong Cheng actually didn't pursue it? Meddlesome! It's better to retreat.
After the subordinates left, Dong Cheng touched his beard and said to himself, "Liu Xuande? You really can't see the old man clearly! (Guilin is on a business trip, it's late, please forgive me!) )
