109 And there was a dispute in the palace of Jinluan
Outside the palace gate, Yu Wenqi personally greeted Lu Xun on his first day of employment.
Soon, two carriages gradually approached in the distance, and after a while, the carriage stopped, and Lu Xun and Lu Zheng got down from it.
"The old man has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Eh, Prime Minister, thank you, this prince is here to congratulate Brother Yingxun on his entry today!" Yu Wenqi helped Lu Zheng up, looked at Lu Xun, and patted him on the shoulder, "Congratulations to Lu Shilang!" ”
Lu Xun bowed his hand, "Your Majesty has thanked His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Haha, yes, yes!" After laughing, it's time to enter the palace, "Prime Minister, Lu Shilang, let's go!" ”
The Lu father and son nodded and entered the city gate.
At this moment, dozens of bows and arrows suddenly shot from all directions! Its direction is aimed at the three of them!
"Protect the Prince!" Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city gate were so shocked that they immediately took up their weapons, formed a circle to protect the three people, and knocked out all the bows and arrows.
Yu Wenqi and Lu Xun were stunned, and their first reaction was not to panic about the bow and arrow, but to suspect who the person who released the arrow would be!
"Someone! Take down all the thieves! Yu Wenqi waved his sleeves and ordered.
As soon as the words fell, in the next second, the archers actually took the initiative to appear, holding knives in their hands, and hacked the soldiers around the three of them to death with lightning speed!
At that time, the guards of the prince and the prime minister did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed, protecting the lord and killing the enemy!
The scene instantly became chaotic, and the sound of killing and the smell of blood filled the city gates! Yu Wenqi and the others couldn't sit still and wait for death, and when they saw a thief approaching, they could only fight with their bare hands, or draw away the sword of the sacrificial soldier and stab the enemy to death!
"What's going on...... What's going on! "After many years as an official, it was the first time that Lu Zheng encountered such a bad situation at the city gate, he was blocked by the guards, watching his son kill the enemy in front, full of anxiety.
"Your Highness, this group of people is not good at martial arts, I feel ...... It's not that they want to kill us. Lu Xun was blocking the knife on the side, and he was close to Yu Wenqi on the other, and when he calmly analyzed the battle situation.
Yu Wenqi also seemed to feel a thing or two, he frowned, "I don't know, but it must be for the two of us!" Don't worry, Prince Ben's men have already signaled that the city protector will come soon......"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a thief took the opportunity to sneak attack from behind him! Seeing this, Lu Xun pushed away Yu Wenqi without hesitation, gave up his body to block the blade, and quickly raised his sword with his other hand and stabbed into the thief's chest!
"Xun!" Yu Wenqi was shocked and hurriedly helped Lu Xun over.
Lu Xun's left arm was cut open by the thief's blade! The blood soaked into his snow-white clothes, and he couldn't control the flow of more and more, and everyone felt pain when they saw it!
Lu Zheng, who was there, also saw that his son was injured, and hurriedly ran over, "Son! Don't be afraid of your father, son! "Seeing blood on the first day of employment can be described as unlucky.
At that time, the city guards hurriedly arrived, quickly cleaned up the remaining sin on the killing field, and captured three living people.
"It's too late for my subordinates to save the car! I hope Your Highness forgives your sins! The commander knelt and kowtowed.
"Alright, well, it's not time to forgive sins! Lu Shilang was injured, so he quickly asked someone to take him back to the palace for treatment! ”
——*——
Throne room.
After solving the thief, Lu Xun was sent to the imperial doctor to treat his injuries, due to the urgency of time, Yu Wenqi and Lu Zheng did not have time to continue to delay, so they rushed to the court first.
"Prince, what the hell is going on with the gangsters who appeared outside the city gate today?!" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and as soon as the incident happened, the news immediately reached his ears.
Yu Wenqi stood below and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Erchen picked up Prime Minister Lu and Lu Shilang at the city gate early in the morning, and he didn't notice the danger buried around!" It was the negligence of the retainers that gave the thieves a chance! However, the three people who have been captured alive have been escorted by the military commander for interrogation, and I believe that there will be a result soon! ”
As soon as the words fell, the city guard army sent someone to report: "Report - Qi Qi Emperor, the three gangsters captured alive are all dead!" Already...... I've already bitten my tongue and killed myself! ”
"Useless things...... Get lost! Hearing the news, Emperor Long Yan became angry.
Seeing this, all the officials knelt down in unison, and no one dared to speak.
If you want to say that the palace gate is strict, it is the key to the safety of the palace! Over the years, although there have been rioters, there have never been as serious casualties as today, and even the people who have been caught alive can't force the murderer behind the scenes!
As the emperor of the Ninety-Five, this matter was placed in front of the hundred officials, obviously losing the face of the royal family, he tried his best to suppress his anger, and finally asked in a cold voice: "How is the situation of Lu Shilang?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Zheng hurriedly walked from the hundred officials to the center of the hall, and replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, Lu Shilang blocked a knife for His Royal Highness the Prince, and the wound was not small...... Now that the Imperial Doctor is trying his best to heal, it shouldn't be a big problem! ”
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Lu Shilang caused a bloody battle at the gate of the city on his first day of employment, could it be that there is some enemy in Beijing?" Are you so hateful that you dare to go to the palace to seek revenge? ”
When the words came out, everyone looked at the man in Xuanyi, and after a while, there was a sigh below.
"Won't you...... Lu Shilang is young, how could he provoke such a big enemy......"
"The prime minister is generous and teaches his son well, it stands to reason that Lu Shilang should inherit Prime Minister Lu's character!"
"I'm afraid it won't be young and vigorous, pretentious on the surface, but in private, I actually did something bad......"
"It's also the first time I've heard that I've encountered such trouble when I first joined the company, which is really unlucky!"
Lu Zheng listened to the discussion of the ministers, and felt very uncomfortable, he raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, not knowing how to explain this.
Fortunately, there is His Royal Highness the Prince, he coughed and retorted in a deep voice: "Second brother's words are wrong, Lu Shilang has been in Beijing for many years and is famous, if he says that there is an enemy, it must not be provoked by Lu Shilang himself, but a stupid thing done by some villains who are jealous of him!" ”
"It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Shilang have been friends since childhood, it seems that it is not a lie! This is maintained, and I don't know that there is no clear distinction between public and private! The man didn't give up, as if he was deliberately trying to argue about the matter, "It's just Lu Shilang's own safety!" But now he has entered the palace as an official, and he wants to guard the Dali Temple! If the thief insists on taking his life, but again harms the innocent...... Then isn't this palace going to be messed up for him alone? ”
"No, no, no, the second prince is too worried...... My son used to be fine in the capital, how could he ...... as soon as he entered the palace" The man's words are too extreme, Lu is not easy to let his son enter the palace as an official, how can he go on a business trip because of this accident today.
"How were you doing in the capital before? Hehe...... Prime Minister Lu Cheng is afraid that he has forgotten the reason for Lu Shilang's blue eyes, right? The man in Xuanyi was targeting Lu Xun with every word, "On that day, Lu Shilang went to the countryside with His Royal Highness the Prince, but he met bandits, but the bandits could also make drugs...... Hehe, it's really interesting, fortunately, Lu Shilang knows how to take care of the importance and saved the life of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise, today's person with different pupils will not become His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
"The second prince didn't go to court on the first day, why can't he remember the rules? In front of the emperor, without verification, slandering officials like this? I really don't know where I am! Yuwen Qi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally left a cruel word.
"Slander officials? A little squire who has not yet joined the company normally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really very protective! ”
"Enough!" One is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the other is the second prince, both the heirs of the emperor, and the face of the royal family, just like this, in the Jinluan Palace, in front of the civil and military officials, there is no shying away from disputes, how can the emperor sitting on the dragon chair let it go, "It's just a few gangsters, what kind of system has it become now!" The order goes down, and within three days, I will know who is behind the scenes! Okay, today's court meeting, disperse! ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
After the morning dispersed, Lu Zheng wiped the sweat on his forehead and exhaled a long breath.
"Prime Minister, let's go see Lu Xun." Yu Wenqi was concerned about Lu Xun's injury from beginning to end.
At that time, the man in Xuanyi clapped his hands and walked over with a sneering smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can be said to be able to speak well, and you can get rid of Lu Shilang's guilt cleanly!" The second brother admires, admires! ”
"Yuwen Nan!" Yu Wenqi spit out the man's name from between his teeth, "This prince will say it again, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Shilang, if you use strong words and make false accusations, this prince will ......"
"How? What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to do with his second brother? Yu Wennan didn't care at all, "His Royal Highness the Prince's tone is really not small!" My father didn't say anything about me, but you are righteous, and you still want to cure my sin? Amusing! The second brother is obviously for the sake of the palace, unlike some people, who lose big because of small things, and there is no distinction between public and private! ”
"Yuwen Nan......!" The more Yu Wenqi listened, the more angry he became, and his anger continued to burn in his stomach.
Lu Zheng was beside him, but he didn't dare to let the two of them have a conflict over this matter, so he hurriedly stood in the middle to persuade: "Your Highness, the second prince, it's all the fault of the old minister, and I hope you don't hurt your brother's feelings because of this little thing!" ”
"Hehe, brother, what a good brother!" Yu Wennan sneered, and finally squinted at Yu Wenqi and Lu Zheng, and then strode away.
Seeing that the person who caused the incident finally left, Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and bowed to Yu Wenqi, "Thank you Your Highness the Crown Prince for trying your best to protect my son!" ”
"The Prime Minister doesn't have to be polite, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xun, everything must be made by a villain, when the prince finds out who is behind the scenes, everything will be revealed!"
——*——
Tai Yi Institute.
Lu Xun's wound has been bandaged clearly, but due to excessive blood loss in the middle, his body is weak, and it is estimated that it will take three to five days to heal.
"Brother Xun, the city gate was assassinated, and my father has ordered someone to investigate, don't worry, this matter will not affect your entry." Last time, Lu Xun gave up a pair of eyes for himself, and today he was greatly injured for himself, Yu Wenqi didn't know how much guilt he felt in his heart.
Lu Xun leaned on the edge of the bed, his face was bloodless, and his speech was weak, and he said: "This matter is the same as last time, if you can't find out the results, Your Highness...... Be careful with those around you. ”
