Chapter 151: Looking Up
"Master, His Royal Highness the Fierce King and Lord Lu are here." The medicine boy came to report.
At that time, Xi Zhi was telling Rong Li to take medicine, and as soon as he heard that Lu Xuan was coming, he immediately put down the medicine bowl, stretched his neck and poked out the door.
These days when Lu Xuan is not there, it is Xizhi who personally takes care of Rong Li, heals his legs, and takes him to adjust his mentality, but he doesn't see such a bright smile on his face all day long.
Rong Li was looking towards the door, at that time, Lu Xuan had already crossed the threshold with one foot, and he was about to speak, but he was swept away by another figure following him.
"Your Highness, Ah Xuan." Rong Li restrained his original joyful emotions, and turned into a humble and polite appearance to greet the visitor.
Lu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward: "How does my cousin's legs feel?" ”
Rong Li smiled slightly: "I have already recovered." ”
After speaking, he immediately moved the wheelchair back two steps, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, and didn't understand what Rong Lied meant.
Until he held the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, stretched his legs to the ground and flattened them, and then slowly supported himself to stand up.
"Cousin, ...... you are" Lu Xuan was amazed at Rong Li's actions, he had already supported his body and stood up, and his hand holding the wheelchair gradually loosened.
It's just that Xi Zhi was concerned about the safety of Rong Li, and stepped forward in time to support him the moment he took it off.
Lu Xuan was surprised and delighted when he saw this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Cousin, you stand up, you can stand up!" ”
Lu Xuan looked up at Rong Li for the first time, and she realized that she had been restrained by this wheelchair all these years, and she didn't know that Rong Li was already taller than Lu Nanjun.
Rong Li stood firm before signaling Xi Zhi to let go, and then stood upright in place.
"I wanted to wait for you to come back and walk to the door to greet you, but my legs have been wasted for too long, and now I am afraid that I will slowly learn to walk like a child." Rong Lie laughed at himself.
Lu Xuan was already satisfied: "Recovery is only a matter of time, as long as my cousin's leg disease is cured, it is enough." ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhi also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Rong Gongzi, don't be anxious, I have cleaned up the bad bones in your body, and the meridians in your legs have also been reconnected by medicine, and you will soon be able to recover like ordinary people." ”
Lu Xuan was already full of joy when she saw that Rong Li could stand, but now with Xizhi's promise, she was even more relieved.
"Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue." Lu Xuan was grateful to Xizhi.
Xi Zhi did not ask for credit: "These are just what people who practice medicine should do, and Lord Lu doesn't need to be polite." ”
"By the way, Ah Xuan, how is your official business handled?" Rong Lily asked.
Lu Xuan immediately nodded: "It has been dealt with, and the remnants of the Wu clan have also been sent to Shengjing to wait for His Majesty's execution, I believe that the imperial court will give an explanation to the Medicine King Gu." ”
Lu Xuan confessed in one breath, but Rong Lily cared about this matter.
When he heard this, he immediately looked back at Xizhi: "I have been tired of the girl taking care of me for the past few days, and I see that the girl has not given me any more needles and medicines recently, will I only need to recuperate in the future?" ”
Xi Zhi didn't think too much about it, and only nodded along with Rong Li's words: "Exactly, after that, Rong Gongzi only needs to recuperate quietly and try to move around appropriately, and he will be able to get out of this wheelchair in less than a month." ”
Hearing this, Rong Liao suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about something, and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Since this is the case, Rong Mou thinks that he really shouldn't bother the girl here." ”
What do you mean by that, are you leaving? Xi Zhi secretly pondered the obvious meaning of the lie, which could not be more obvious.
After all, when it came to this day, she knew that no one belonged here.
Xi Zhi also understood the meaning of Rong Li, the melon that she twisted was not sweet, and since he had already moved to leave, she didn't want to entangle and keep it.
"Since Gongzi Rong wants to return home as soon as possible, it is naturally inconvenient for me to keep it redundantly." Xi Zhi endured the pain in her heart and should lie to herself.
Rong Li then turned his head to look at Lu Xuan: "Ah Xuan, it's been a while since you left home this time, if you don't have any other official business here, go back with me." ”
Is there any other official business Lu Xuan said It doesn't count, hearing this, she immediately glanced at the person next to her.
Gu Huanli knew Lu Xuan's thoughts very well, and it just so happened that he didn't want to stay here with a lie, so he simply promised her with kindness.
"This king has indeed been delayed here for a long time, and since Rong Gongzi's leg disease has healed, it is natural for him to return to Shengjing as soon as possible." Gu Huanli said.
Only then did Lu Xuan dare to nod at Rong Li: "Then I will go back with my cousin, and it just so happens that I don't worry about my cousin alone." ”
After speaking, Lu Xuan immediately walked behind Rong Liao and grabbed the wheelchair.
Rong Liao looked at Xizhi, who had been with him for many days, and said to her with sincere eyes: "Thank you for the girl's help in the past few days, Rong has nothing to repay, if the girl is in need of him, Rong will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Having said that, no one knows better than Xi Zhi that she is in a place like the Medicine King Valley, and she is thousands of miles away from Shengjing City, how can she easily talk about the next meeting?
For a while, Xizhi felt a lot of regrets in her heart, but when she got to her mouth, there was only one sentence left on her lips, "Take care of Gongzi Rong", and then she could only watch them leave in frustration.
The next day, as soon as Gu Huanli returned, he heard that the prince's faction had framed him in the court, which made Emperor Liang Qin seem to be dissatisfied.
It happened that he had returned from going to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and Gu Huanli also had important things to tell Emperor Liang Qin, so he hurried towards today's morning dynasty.
At that time, it was already late, but it did not affect the perception, when Gu Huanli arrived, there was a war of words in the court:
On one side is the head of the household department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the household department has received a large amount of treasures from the south of the Yangtze River, worth 10,000 gold, and now all of them have been returned to the treasury, and I believe that I will have plenty of money in the coming year." ”
Emperor Liang Qin was overjoyed when he heard this: "A treasure worth ten thousand gold? Where? ”
Only then did the Hubu Shangshu respond: "Back to Your Majesty, it was obtained by Lu Xuan, the deputy envoy of the trial of the Murderous Prince's Mansion, who accidentally exterminated the bandits who robbed merchant ships in Yongzhou, Jiangnan. ”
As soon as he heard that it was Lu Xuan's credit, before Emperor Liang Qin could express his attitude, Gu Ningbei couldn't help but step forward: "Father Qi, my sons think this matter is strange. ”
"Oh? How? Emperor Liang Qin's joy was just born from his heart when he was rushed by Gu Ning's sadness, and he suddenly showed a look of disdain.
Gu Ning was sad but eloquent: "Back to my father, Lu Xuan's deputy envoy to the district palace, what qualifications do you have to meddle in the affairs of Yongzhou Zhizhou?" Isn't this kind of overstepping authority and substitute for office the work of rebellious ministers and thieves? ”
Emperor Qin of Liang has always been the most taboo about his subordinates exceeding their powers, according to his consistent idea - if he dares to usurp official power today, he may threaten the imperial power in the future.
In this way, Gu Ningbei's words really had to attract the attention of Emperor Liang Qin.
Fortunately, Hubu Shangshu understood the situation in advance, and hurriedly explained for Lu Xuan: "Your Majesty, it is not that the deputy envoy of Lu Xuan is arrogating, but the reason why the bandits dare to be so rampant this time is because there is Yongzhou Zhizhou to protect them. ”
"Collusion between officials and bandits?" Emperor Liang Qin was shocked, this is also the ban he has always imposed on local officials.
Hubu Shangshu nodded, seeing that Emperor Liang Qin seemed to be shaken, Gu Ningbei hurriedly opened his mouth again: "In this way, it is even more arrogant." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Emperor Liang Qin looked at Gu Ningbei.
"Father, Lu Xuan's status is low, and the power in her hands is limited to interfering about the affairs of the murderous palace, even if the governor of Yongzhou really colludes with the bandits, what right does she have?" Gu Ningbei said that the head is the Tao.
Some people can't listen to it anymore -
"Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is inappropriate." A sonorous voice came from the crowd.
Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who else can there be besides Chen Weizhi who dares to say so bluntly that the royal family is wrong and missing?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Xuan's move is a good example of the atmosphere of the officials of our dynasty and the fear of power, if according to His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone is alone because of their official rank and ignores the high-ranking officials, what is the difference between it and the traitor who slanders and flatters the lord?"
Chen Weizhi said so, but in fact, he himself is the most outstanding representative who is outspoken and not afraid of power.
Emperor Liang Qin has always deeply agreed with what Chen Weizhi said, and this time is naturally no exception.
But Gu Ningbei was unwilling to retreat so easily, and then sneered at Chen Weizhi: "Then according to what Chen Lang said, will Lu Xuan's trespass be stopped?" ”
Chen Weizhi shook his head: "No, the minister thinks he should be rewarded." ”
"What?" Gu Ningbei simply felt that there was something wrong with Chen Weizhi's brain, and in terms of the crime of trespassing, it was already a great favor for Emperor Liang Qin to ignore it, and he dared to ask for a reward?
Chen Weizhi then spoke: "Lu Xuan's trip is to enrich the treasury, to purge the official style of our dynasty, to benefit the people, and to set an example for the officials, why not to be rewarded?" ”
"But ......" Before Gu Ningbei finished speaking, there was a sigh in front of the door of Jinluan Palace: "Well said, it really deserves to be rewarded." ”
Hearing the sound, everyone turned around one after another, only to see people strolling leisurely, completely treating the Jinluan Hall as a royal garden.
"See His Highness the Fierce King." The ministers leaned over.
Gu Huanli then walked to the front of the main hall and looked at Emperor Liang Qin, who was full of surprise in the hall: "The younger brother sees the imperial brother, the younger brother has something to do, and he failed to return to the court on time, so please punish the imperial brother." ”
That being said, who doesn't know that Gu Huanli's trip captured all the henchmen of the Wu clan and made great contributions to protecting the country and the people? How dare Emperor Liang Qin punish him at this juncture?
Emperor Liang Qin hurriedly spoke: "The emperor's brother is exempt." ”
However, Gu Ningbei, who was arrogant and rude as an imperial nephew, sneered when he saw Gu Huanli: "Didn't the imperial uncle go to the mountains and rivers, why did he come back so quickly?" ”
Gu Huanli was not angry, and then responded with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to enjoy it, but I was robbed." ”
His words were an understatement, but the civil and military officials suddenly talked about it - "robbery? Who is so bold as to rob His Royal Highness the Murderer? ”
Gu Huanli heard it clearly, and then turned around and responded: "Those who can rob are naturally bandits." ”
