Chapter 406: Lu Ge Lao
"Come on, give Lu Ge a seat." Li Qitian commanded in a deep voice.
Li Guanwen immediately responded, and ordered the little chamberlains to carry the official hat chair and put it in the first place.
Lu Ge Lao wore a red official uniform, and knelt down to salute with a trembling hem: "Old minister, thank you to the saint." ”
As soon as he saw that old guy so respectful and humble, Li Qitian was angry, obviously he didn't have the heart to be loyal to the king, and he still made such a look, isn't this bullying the king?
"You are an old minister, and you are my minister of the humerus, in order to end the war as soon as possible, for the sake of the common people in the world, the Lu family has always been grateful to be able to lend a hand, and now in front of me, how can there not be a position for Lu Lao?"
Li Qitian has a lovely smile and is very affinity.
The thin body of Lu Ge, who was already in the age of the cane dynasty, trembled with his beard, and he saluted movingly: "The old minister is willing to go to the soup for the saint to repay the kindness of the saint!" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to bow down again.
Li Qitian gave him a look, and Li Guanwen immediately stepped forward to help Lu Ge Lao up.
Li Qitian said: "Don't you help Lu Lao to sit down?" ”
Li Guanwen smiled and said, "Your old man, please take a seat." The saint is full of heart, and he cares about the old minister the most. ”
"Thank you, thank you." Elder Lu Ge sat down on the side of the official hat chair with tears in his eyes.
Li Qitian rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly when he lowered his head.
When Lu Ge raised his eyes to look at it, Li Qitian was still his usual appearance.
"Does Lu Lao know what I summoned today?"
Elder Lu Ge nodded and said sincerely: "The Holy Lord must be for the drought in the south. The saint does not have to worry, the saint is the true dragon son of heaven, and he is blessed by heaven, since the surrender of Dayan and the return of the land to our Great Zhou, the drought there has been alleviated. These are all the blessings of the Holy Gods in order to benefit the people! ”
Lu Ge is really old, but he tries his best to speak loudly, so that his body is trembling, and Li Guanwen on the side is frightened, for fear that this old man will speak too hard and can't lift it in one breath. If something happens in the imperial study, how can you explain it to the Lu family?
But Lu Ge's words were equivalent to drinking another barrel of oil to Li Qitian, who was full of anger.
Li Qitian gritted his teeth so that he didn't let the anger erupt from his mouth.
What a loyal and patriotic minister!
If he is so loyal and patriotic, why do he still connive at his grandson to do such things!
If it were a bystander, this reprimand would have been said a long time ago.
But in the face of Elder Lu Ge, who was full of sincerity and emotion, thinking of his identity as the patriarch of the Lumen family, and thinking of the calculations hidden in every wrinkle of his face, Li Qitian still endured it and sighed quietly.
"Although I have the blessing of heaven and the help of my ministers to lay down this country, Lu Lao also knows that the Northern Hebei Kingdom I took over has long been devastated."
"Oh, yes. The saint has really worked hard all these years. Elder Lu Ge also sighed.
Li Qitian said: "It doesn't matter if I work hard, what matters is the people of the world, now the treasury is empty, the food and reward that should have been given when the Tiger Ben army attacked Dayan have not been cashed up to now, the drought in the south, the people are displaced, the Tatars in the north are eyeing the tiger, this mountain and river are full of devastation, everywhere needs to be calculated, everywhere needs money." But the situation of the treasury, Lu Ge Lao also knows. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ge Lao arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, the old minister is willing to share his worries for the Holy Lord. When the old minister went back, he thought of fundraising. ”
Li Qitian was choked by his answer.
This is said as if he is crying poor and asking the old minister for money!
He raised money, could he raise that treasure so much silver!
This old thing is obviously pretending to be stupid and stunned here, and he doesn't admit the mistakes made by Lu Heng!
Li Qitian's patience is running out, if it weren't for his status as an emperor, and if it weren't for the mud leg of the folk farming, he would have pounced on this cunning guy and pressed him to the ground and punched him a few times to get angry!
Li Qitian's suppressed anger made Li Guanwen coldly and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Lu Ge Lao was completely unaware, with tears in his eyes, and he swore a promise: "Holy Lord, the old minister will definitely think of a way to raise money!" ”
This sentence is like the last straw that crushes the camel!
Li Qitian stood up and said in a deep voice: "Elder Lu Ge, I respect you, and you don't want to give me an inch!" ”
Lu Ge was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and hurriedly knelt down tremblingly, his forehead pressed against the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The Holy Lord is angry, the old minister, the old minister doesn't understand......"
"You don't understand! I look at you like a mirror in your heart! I ask you, do you know that I am looking for the treasure of Dayan! ”
"The old minister knows."
"Then you let your grandson escape with my treasure map!"
"Huh?"
Lu Ge Lao raised his head in shock, and found that his behavior of looking directly at Tianyan like this was really inappropriate, so he hurriedly lowered his head again, shook his head again and again, and said, "Impossible, how can there be such a thing?" If the grandson of the old minister really gets the treasure, he must first present it to the saint, how can he ......?"
"You mean I framed your family Lu Heng?"
"The old minister doesn't dare!" Lu Ge hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Holy Lord, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”
"Misunderstanding? I just got the whereabouts of the treasure map, and I ordered someone to look for it, and I saw that your precious grandson was escorted out of the capital with the treasure map! ”
"This, this...... The old minister doesn't know, Brother Heng didn't report this matter at all, that little rabbit cub! How dare he do that! Let the old minister know where he ran away, and he will definitely not spare him! ”
"What Aiqing means is that you don't know everything he does?"
"I really don't know!" Lu Ge was anxious and burst into tears, "That bastard stinky boy, how dare you act like this!" It's really angry with me, angry with me! ”
Lu Ge Lao cried and cried, and began to have difficulty breathing, shaking his hands and falling to the ground.
Li Guanwen hurriedly went up to help: "Elder Lu Ge, are you okay?" The inquiring person looked at Li Qitian, if you don't want to cause a big disaster at this time, you should pass on the imperial doctor.
Li Qitian gritted his teeth and glared at this old thing, he really wanted him to just die here.
But if something happens to the helmsman of the Lumen family in the imperial study, it will be easy to say and not sound good, and the consequences will be extremely serious.
Thinking of this, Li Qitian could only ask with concern in a deep voice: "Old Lu, are you okay?" Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”
"Old minister, old minister, no, it's okay, the old minister is really, that unfilial son, I'm really angry with the old minister!"
Li Qitian looked at his face as a loyal minister who did not forget to curse his descendants in pain, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. I simply turned around, out of sight and out of mind.
The imperial doctor quickly rushed to the imperial study and treated Lu Ge Lao.
"Back to the saint, Lu Ge Lao went to the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was stimulated and frightened, he was angry and angry, and he was too emotionally excited, which caused him to be weak and vigorous, so he fainted for a while, and the minister opened a prescription to let Lu Ge Lao take it first, and Lu Ge Lao often paid attention to controlling his emotions, and he must not be too excited."
The ten loyal and honest people of the imperial physician did not dare to look directly at the face of the Holy Heaven, because they didn't see Li Qitian's face a little ugly every time he said a word.
Li Guanwen had already shrunk his shoulders, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, for fear of being affected by the wrath of the saint.
Li Qitian pursed his lips and looked at Elder Lu Ge in silence.
Lu Ge Lao felt a chill on his back, and he knelt up straight, and saluted: "The Holy One forgives the sins, and the old minister will order someone to arrest that unfilial son, and let the Holy One dispose of it!" ”
Would he be willing to hand over his favorite grandson?
This is clearly superficial effort, and he will be armed!
If Li Qitian behaves too harshly, it will make the family completely guarded.
Precautions are secondary.
If the Lumen family was afraid and united with the rest of the great families to rebel, Li Qitian thought that he did not have the ability to extinguish the fire.
Therefore, even if he held his breath for a while, he could only swallow this breath.
"That's it, it's not Lu Lao's fault that this matter is not Fang Cai's anger and I didn't control my emotions well."
"Holy Lord, the old minister is afraid, and the old minister is ashamed." Lu Ge lay on the ground and burst into tears again.
Li Qitian was really annoyed when he saw him like this, and he couldn't do anything to him, so he had to be appeased.
The final result was that Li Qitian Xingshi failed to ask for the guilt, and he also appeased the emotions of the old minister, and also ordered the chief eunuch around him to personally send the old minister back to the house, and also rewarded a bunch of tonic herbs and supplements.
Li Qitian sat in the imperial study and sulked, refusing to see anyone.
When Lu Ge returned home, he politely thanked Li Guanwen and gave him a first-class red seal.
When Li Guanwen said goodbye and left, Lu Ge returned to the upper courtyard of the back house.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lu Heng, who was supposed to leave the capital in Li Qitian's mouth, sitting on the kang by the window, holding a book and eating snacks while reading.
"Grandfather, you're back." Lu Heng wanted to go down to the ground and salute.
Lu Ge Lao waved his hand, sat down opposite Lu Heng, and also grabbed a snack to eat.
"Grandfather, has the Holy One embarrassed you?"
Lu Ge Lao smiled: "He wants to, but does he have the guts?" ”
Lu Hengwan smiled, "If grandfather hears this, he will blow up his lungs." ”
"You haven't seen him like that just now, he is worried that I will die in his imperial study and it will be difficult to explain, why don't I worry that he will be angry." Old Lu Ge smiled refreshingly, and said for a while: "You can go out again when you are ready tomorrow." When you go out, everything is safety-oriented, our family is not short of silver, it doesn't matter if you can find the treasure or can't find it, you just come back safely. ”
"Even if we can't find it, we can't let him find it. But don't worry, grandfather, I should just go out to play. I will pay attention to my own safety. Lu Heng smiled.
Looking at the noble and handsome grandson, Lu Ge said with a straight face: "Brother Heng, you are not too young, the matter of continuing the string ......"
"Grandfather. The grandson is now in the sea and difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. ”
