"General Lu? Do you want to go back to farming? ”

Mu Jian smiled, he had already seen the fear in Lu Ming's eyes, Lu Ming trembled and didn't speak, I was afraid that he had been scared to death. At this time, Lu Yanqi, who was standing behind him, suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know much about military affairs, and there is no one in the army who can replace General Lu's position." Wechen begged His Majesty to let General Lu be an official for a few years, and Wechen must learn from General Lu and be loyal to His Majesty! Protect Your Majesty's territory! Lu Ming will follow the first emperor all his life, not afraid of life and death, and follow His Majesty dutifully!"

"General Lu, the tiger father has no dogs, he gave birth to a good son, and he also raised a good courtier for me." , Looking at Lu Ming, Mu Jian's eyes were a little playful, not as cold as he looked at Li Xiang, Lu Ming knew that this time it was his son who came forward to save him, and because he didn't fight the emperor too much in front of the whole court, Mu Jian's current attitude proves that he can still be saved.

"To be loyal to His Majesty, the old minister is fortunate to have three lives. Now His Majesty will be able to unify the Central Plains, and he will be able to dominate the rivers and mountains in the future. The old minister is willing to do his best for His Majesty, even if he dies on the battlefield, he must be loyal to His Majesty! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming hurriedly expressed his loyalty, he didn't want to end up with Li Xiang.

But he also knew that from now on, the renewal of the court was no longer the world of these old people. In the future, his rights will definitely be divided by Mu Jian little by little, rather than handing it over to others, it is better to cultivate his son and let him become the pillar of the Lu family, and sooner or later, this old bone will step down.

General Lu said seriously. However, General Lu was very moved. ”

After today, there will be no minister in the court who will not take Mu Jian, the emperor, in his eyes. Li Xiang, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, even the first emperor only checked and balanced him instead of dealing with him, Mu Jian actually dared to deal with Li Xiang as soon as he came up, is there anyone in this court that he dare not move?

Of course, Mu Jian is not a reckless man, so he casually removed Li Xiang. Before that, he paved the way several times, using those new courtiers to take over the power in Li Xiang's hands one by one, and then delete his henchmen, but suppressing him on the one hand made him tolerate him and make him gradually expand, thinking that no one dared to touch him as before. In the end, he seized the opportunity and killed him with one move, completely destroying the powerful ministers in this court.

And although Lu Ming was sent back by the first emperor to suppress Li Xiang, he has never really suppressed Li Xiang. Because Lu Ming is relatively pure and good by nature, he is easier to control than Li Xiang.

Mu Jian touched his cheeks, the old ministers in the court were not only Li Xiang and Lu Ming, he couldn't completely favor the new ministers and hurt the hearts of the old ministers, and the interests here still need to be grasped.

"The matter of the imperial examination will be done by Li Shangshu, Chen Shangshu, Lord Zhao, Master Li Wangshu, and the four of you together. The two old ministers are knowledgeable and accurate, so they should take these two new ministers with them. Li Shangshu and Chen Shangshu stepped forward, and the errand of this imperial examination can still fall into old age

In the hands of the minister, and His Majesty seems to be interested in making the old minister bigger, which is still surprising.

I thought that His Majesty only wanted to support the new courtiers, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"As for the selection of concubines in my harem. I thought that what Li Xiang and General Lu were thinking was reasonable. The Imperial Dynasty of the Imu Family, since the first brought a scarcity, and gave birth to many children and lived to the prime of life before accidentally dying one after another, it is indeed my responsibility to open up branches and leaves for the royal family, and it is my responsibility to add Wang people. The draft will be selected on a small scale, and the people will not be looking for it, just select a woman of the right age in the family from the minister's house in Beijing, and there is no need for too many people, four or five. The two proposals allowed one to reject the other, so it seems that the emperor has given enough face to the old minister.

The old ministers nodded privately, this imperial examination really has nothing to do with them, because the emperor has already selected people who can be used in the minister's family to enter the court, and their majesty has a really strange temper, and if you are not careful, you will lose your official hat.

And everyone has a share in this draft! Who doesn't have a young woman? If you don't have a daughter, you can collect any nieces and cousins and send them to the palace. It doesn't matter if you can't choose it and it's returned, if you choose it, it will be a lifetime of glory to your ancestors!

The old ministers in the audience began to be restless, and even Lu Ming was slightly moved.

"I've been running around for a long time, and I'm a little tired. If there is nothing to do, I will retire, Li Xiang, after I go back, I will go to the Li Mansion to take a look. Standing up triumphantly, Mu Jian was finally happy today, his eyes swept over the new courtiers, and the smiles on the faces of the good guys couldn't be hidden.

Mu Jian turned around and left under the support of the people of the Chang Palace, and the courtiers knelt down to see the emperor, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, not many people surrounded Li Xiang and sighed, and they all found someone who wanted to be familiar with it and asked if there was a suitable girl in your family to send to the palace to leave.

In the past, Li Xiangsan was always surrounded by many people after the dynasty, but now no one paid attention to him, he knelt on the ground, it was difficult to stand, the trees fell and scattered, he didn't expect his ending to be like this.

Li Xingze looked at his father's aged body, he did not come forward to stop his father when the emperor asked him to step down, because Li Xingze knew very well that his father was such an unreasonable person, if he called for wind and rain in the court again, then His Majesty would not be comfortable, the courtiers would not be comfortable, and the life of the people would naturally not be comfortable.

So for the sake of morality, he didn't even stand up and say a word for his father. Li Xingze slowly stepped forward, wanting to stretch out his hand to support his father, "Father, go home." ”

As soon as his hand hung on Li Xiang's arm, he was ruthlessly thrown away by Li Xiang, he saw that this son was becoming more and more unpleasant, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent but it was all vented on his body, "Rebel!" What is the use of asking you! Useless waste! The Li family is completely finished! You'll never be as good as your big brother! ”

Li Xingze's heart is like snow in the cold winter, his father ignored himself when he was a child, he never put himself in his eyes, he favored his eldest brother and sister, and never mentioned his second son to anyone. even

Li Xingze doubted several times whether he was really his biological son.

"Father, do you think it's best to be the one who dies and not the eldest brother?" , Li Xingze's voice was trembling, tears swirling in his eyes but he couldn't bear to let him fall. No matter how bad his father was to him, he always felt that he didn't work hard enough, and now he is the only male in the Li family, as long as he tries his best, one day his father will still see his efforts.

But what he said just now was too hurtful, looking at his father's reluctant back, for a moment Li Xingze was blinded by hatred in his heart and wanted to strangle this old thing.

"Yes." , Bing cold and emotionless reply, a simple word cut off all Li Xingze's illusions about his father, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to his willful big brother who was useless.

His hand gradually withdrew, and his body stood up straight, at this time, Lu Yanqi suddenly walked behind Li Xingze, put his arm around Li Xingze's shoulder with one hand, and he turned around with Li Xingze without saying a word and left. Lee Sang's work this time was too much.

A pair of hands appeared behind Li Xiang, holding Li Xiang's arms and trying to help him up. Li Xiang became even more grumpy, shook off that hand fiercely, and shouted with his back to him, "I don't need you to pity me!" ”

"Brother, get up." , It turned out that the person standing behind him was not Li Xingze, but Lu Ming, who was also a handful of age.

Lu Ming bent down again to support Li Xiang, but this time Li Xiang did not shake off Lu Ming, and climbed Lu Ming's arm trembling and stood up with his legs.

The old military general supported the old civil official, and the two of them walked out of the hall slowly, Li Xiang walked very slowly with every step, because his legs were already frightened and weak, and because he wanted to walk slowly and take a look at the golden hall again, this was the last time he came here in his life.

Every day, for decades, he never stopped, and suddenly he was no longer needed here, and he really became a good-for-nothing old bone.

Li Xiang raised his head and looked at the golden beam, looked sideways at the pillar of the coiling dragon, turned around three times in one step, walked to the door and looked at the golden dragon chair empty, and the people in his memory sat on it, very serious, and occasionally smiled. "Emperor Xian, you still have to be a good minister."

Tears slipped from the corners of Li Xiang's dry eyes, and he didn't expect that one day he would also wet his eyes because of leaving.

Lu Ming didn't look back, and quietly echoed: "It's harmful, our old brothers are not having a good time." ”

"I know that I am flamboyant, but the first emperor was never restrained, and later he transferred you back just to contain me. But I know that you can't hold me down, Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and he doesn't really trust anyone, but he has really applied me as an old minister for many years, giving me opportunities and giving me glory. But he didn't tell me that not everyone can stand my arrogance and arrogance, Emperor Xian, did you see that there would be such a day? Li Xiang looked at the dragon chair stupidly, and his heart was full of emotion.

He remembered that the first time he came here, his legs were as weak as he is now, then

Waiting is timid and green, as if it was just yesterday.

"Old brother, the first emperor is no longer here. This court is the world of young people, and you and I should quit. Compared with Li Xiang's obsession, Lu Ming seems to see it more clearly.

The two old figures helped each other out of the hall. Li Xiang has walked tens of thousands of times on this road, but he never thought that he would be so embarrassed when he walked for the last time, like a lost dog being chased away.

Lu Ming sighed leisurely, he didn't know how he should go in the future, once again he began to miss the silence of the side, recalling that the endless wind always blew people upset, and it was better than the endless annoyance in the court blowing people to suffocate.

In the empty yard, there are usually only two fish tanks or some flowers and plants, but she is still a child, so she asked someone to tie a swing under the tree. In the shade she sat on the swing with her feet crossed, holding the little doll in her arms, and she shook the doll, and the swing shook her.

There were fragrant pastries on the small table next to the swing, and she smiled as if there was nothing to worry about in the day. The breeze blows, and the sunset in early summer takes on a faint pink color.

Standing at the door of the dormitory, as soon as I walked under the wall, I could hear the sound of giggling laughter coming from the courtyard, not only women, men, but also children.

The first person to see Mu Ji was Kirsasin, who was standing behind Rou Yi gently rocking the swing for her, and suddenly looked up to see the familiar figure standing in the doorway, looking at them quietly with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" , Kesassin was overjoyed, and his face was like a flower. Rou Yi also raised her head slowly, and when she saw Mu Jian coming back, she appeared in front of her like this, and her eyes lit up slightly, "Brother Mu Jian, you are back!" ”

Now Rou Yi seems to have returned to the time when she first met her two years ago, carefree, and only happy psychologically. Is it possible to become so innocent and happy after spending time with children?

Mu Jian walked in with leisurely steps, and seeing that Rou Jing was recovering so well, Mu Jian was really happy. I thought it would take her a lot of time to recover, but now it seems that the little guy coaxed her to have her brother by her side every day, which seemed to make Rouyi recover quickly and have a sense of security.

"Little one, I haven't seen you for a few days, why has you grown so big? The child really grew up in the blink of an eye. Mu Jian walked in, bent down and stretched out his fingers to poke the little guy's face, the soft little cheeks were very elastic, and they would bounce back if they poked.

"Brother Mu Jian heard that things are going well this time, and it's really good to come back safely." , This sentence of Roujing comes from the heart, because the last time Mu Zhan went to Seguin City, he never came back, so when he heard who went to Seguin City, Roujing was always worried that if there was any variable, she would lose the important people around her again.

Stretched out his hand and touched Rouyi's little head, Mu Jian looked like a big brother, "Okay." You're getting better with your kids and you're getting better. How about this

Does the little guy have a name? There are no big names and no small names, so how would you know you're calling him? ”

Speaking of this name, Rou Yi really frowned, "I really haven't called him a doll, I've always called him a doll." Because the people in the palace said that this name must be given by His Majesty to count, I can only come back with His Majesty day and night, so that we can give us a name, you say it is right or not! Rou Yi smiled at the little guy, and the little guy also giggled at Rou Yi, because Rou Yi has always been by the little guy's side, and he completely regards Rou Yi as his mother.

"Since he is my crown prince, the name should be better. Fish swim in the water, from the sound of the water mountain. I hope that he will not work as hard as me in the future, and it will be better to be chic and comfortable. On the day he was born, a fire broke out, and it was better to bring some water with him, so let's call it Mushan. Hey! Say you, is it good to call Mu Shan. Mu Jian suddenly seemed to be a child, and he actually quarreled with the little guy.

Rou Yi also giggled, and muttered the name "Mushan, wood, he is water, water can raise wood, so good, in the future, you will be a filial child and be filial to your father." ”

"It's impossible to say if you are filial, but you must be filial to your mother. I will take the big name, and let the small name be taken by Rouyi. That's fair. In the future, when I really scolded him, I changed my name to him, Mu Shan! When you coax him, call him by his nickname. It's fair to see who uses the name more. ”

Mu Jian sat on a small stool on the side, Rou Yi began to think seriously about what to give this little guy a nickname, she raised her head and asked Kesassin, "Sister Kesasin, what do you think it's called?" For this reason, Kesasin also became troubled, this big name was very happy, but he couldn't hold back a small name for a long time.

Helan Yingxue, who was sitting next to Mu Jian, pointed at the two little women and laughed: "It's all because I don't read much!" I can't even come up with a name! ”

Helan Zhixue still had an accent when she spoke Zhongyuan, but it was much better than before, at least now Mu Jian could understand what he was talking about.

"It's all right now, this king, it's been here for too long. It's time to go back to Yansai. Helan Yingxue watched Rouyi's body get healthier day by day, and there was Ke Sasin and this little guy around him, and now that Mu Jian came back, there was someone to protect Rouyi, and he, who was the elder brother, should leave.

After all, Helan Chengxue is the eldest prince of Yansai, and he will inherit the throne in the future, and it is not a rule to leave Yansai for too long.

Mu Jian nodded, and was very grateful in his heart, "Thanks to Brother Helan coming this time, Rouyi's mood and body can recover so well, when will Brother Helan leave, I will personally set up a banquet to send him off." ”

Helan Yingxue smiled on his face, this rough man also has a gentle side, he is always gentle when facing his sister, this is the little princess he has been used to growing up since he was a child, and now it is best to see that Rouyi can also come out of grief.

"Just call, Changzhan. The length of Changle is the lamp of longevity. Hope for him

Ah, live a long life, be happy for a lifetime, okay? Rou Yi smiled softly, putting all her happiness on this little person.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Changle is Mu Zhan's small character, and Zhan and Zhan are also homophonic, she still can't let go of the person who is no longer there, it's really a pity.

"Good, that's good. I love it. But Mu Jian didn't say it, no one said it, if you want to stop even thinking about someone, it's too cruel.

Rou Yi repeatedly called out "Changzhan, Changzhan." ”

The child giggled, as if he liked his nickname.

Or maybe he heard deep love and longing in his soft tone.
