In the Qianqing Palace, Luo Mingyuan, the Duke of Weiguo, entered Beijing once when he returned to Beijing, but recently it was also a unique one. So now standing outside the Dongnuan Pavilion with his son Luo Xu waiting, Rao is he has been in battle for a long time, and he can't help but be a little nervous, and in the end, he couldn't help but gently bump his son with his elbow, and when he was about to remind Luo Xu, he found that his son silently bowed his head, as if he was in a daze.

Before he could think of anything, two small firefighters came out and stood beside Luo Mingyuan respectfully, while the first big eunuch bent down with a smile and saluted: "Duke Weiguo, the prince, the emperor summoned the two of you in." ”

Luo Mingyuan's legs and feet were inconvenient, so at this time, he was naturally supported by the two little firefighters, and Luo Xu followed silently. Although it was at the door just now, there was a long way to go to the imperial study in the apse where the emperor lived and studied. He had something on his mind, and he didn't squint, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept looking around. Suddenly, all he could hear was someone muttering something in a low voice.

"Shizi, Duanfu Palace Luo Guifei Niangniang made a small greeting, His Royal Highness King Lu has been sick again in the past two days."

Even if he didn't turn his head, Luo Xu could sense that it was a small eunuch in the left rear, but when he thought that there was another person in the right rear, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and glanced over there without a trace, only to see that the person was just walking with his hands down and his head down, without even raising his eyes. Even so, he couldn't help but secretly annoy that his aunt was too bold to use such a method to send a letter in the Qianqing Palace. It must be known that the emperor does not have too many restrictions on foreign women entering the palace, and his mother, Mrs. Lin, enters the palace twice in three days, and King Lu's delicate body is not a day or two, why do you have to say it now? Could it be ......

When a bad premonition suddenly jumped into his heart, Luo Xu heard the shrill voice of a eunuch in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that the bamboo curtain had been raised high. He took his heart and went inside, but before he could see the layout of the house, he saw that his father had already thrown off the two eunuchs and bowed, and hurriedly bowed down. However, he only performed the usual salute, and the emperor's voice was heard from above.

"Flat, this is not a court, and your father and son are not outsiders. Someone came, Wei Guogong was injured and gave him a seat. ”

Luo Mingyuan excused himself twice, and then sat on the brocade pier brought by the little eunuch, while Luo Xu stood behind his father. It was not the first time he had seen the emperor, and the day of the palace test and the later rumors were seen from afar, which was because he was bold and looked up slightly, but later inspected the warehouses in the capital, and he was a genuine saint alone, and he could even be regarded as a knees and secrets. So now that he sees the emperor again, he is not too nervous.

The emperor first asked Luo Mingyuan a few words about his injury, and then said: "You were picked up by me, and you fought countless battles from south to north. The imperial doctor said that this is just a small injury, at most it will be raised at home for a month, for the sake of your years of hard work, I will give you another three months, and after three months, the sharp cavalry camp in Beijing will be under your control. As for the name of the Governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, you can continue to hang it. ”

Luo Mingyuan originally thought that the emperor summoned him mostly to appease and persuade him, but he didn't expect it to be such a heartfelt remark. He had also been in Beijing for a period of time before, and he was said to be the commander with the highest rank and the most prominent title, but in fact, the upper and lower Shenji Battalion, Rui Cavalry Battalion, and Infantry Battalion all had their own management bands, and even those officers who were transferred earlier than him had not yet gained a firm foothold, let alone him. However, now that the emperor no longer mentions the words of sitting in the town, he directly handed over the Rui cavalry battalion to him, and still retained the Governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion for him, which is of great significance.

So, although his legs and feet were still inconvenient, he still supported Luo Xu's outstretched arm, stood up straight all of a sudden, and bowed down like a jade pillar pushing Jinshan down, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, and you will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

The emperor nodded lightly, and then said to Luo Xu, who was kneeling together: "Luo Xu, what are you still doing in a daze, help your father up"

With these words, Luo Xu hurriedly exerted his strength, but Luo Mingyuan was heavy after all, and when he sat down on the Jindun again, he was already sweating profusely, but it was not good to raise his hand to wipe it after all. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the emperor's gaze seemed to fall on him, and he hurriedly adjusted the expression on his face to make himself look more respectful and polite.

"Don't put on such a show, your son of this world was all a prodigal and unruly name outside in the early years, and this time he didn't use any serious means to inspect the granary pasture, but pretended to be serious in front of me?" The emperor scolded with a smile, and when he saw that Luo Xu's face couldn't maintain the composure just now, he sighed, "Those granaries and pastures have not been inspected for many years, but most of them are careless, even if there are mistakes, they often can't be reported, and the accounts are far less detailed than those you sent." The capital has never been under the city, and the transportation and shipping are convenient, so those people think that these granaries are just decorations, but they don't want to think that if there is such a day, this granary and pasture will be empty It will be a great disaster, and this is worthy of your strategy, and I should reward you heavily."

Luo Xu didn't expect the emperor to say the four words of debauchery in front of his father, and he was immediately embarrassed, but when he heard the words of praise later, he came to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "After the minister also did this, he knew that it was easy to talk on paper, but it was difficult to do practical things. Thanks to the emperor for giving the exam and the palace exam papers together, the ministers knew their true catties and did not dare to be rewarded by the emperor. ”

"Those who are proud of their talents are just mediocre talents, the most rare thing in this world is a heart of self-reflection, this is what Emperor Taizu said, I give it to you, don't forget to always encourage yourself to reward ......" The emperor glanced at Luo Mingyuan, and the smile on his face deepened, "Gold, silver, silk and those vulgar things, you have everything at home, I know that you love calligraphy and painting, so I will give you Wang Xizhi's fast snow and sunny post." ”

Luo Xu, who had already reached his lips with the words of resignation, was overjoyed for a while, and knelt down almost without thinking: "Thank the emperor"

Luo Mingyuan didn't have time to say anything, but when he saw Luo Xu open his mouth to thank him, he immediately shook his head helplessly, and when he struggled to thank the emperor, he saw the emperor waving his hand, which was just a debt. And after Luo Xu got the order to get up, his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide, if it wasn't for the palace, he could almost laugh out loud.

There are such treasures in the palace, most of which are good things received by the emperors of previous dynasties, and the emperor's hobbies such as calligraphy and painting are just mediocre, so he has no consciousness of generosity to others, and said with a smile: "This is just one of them." Second, although you are the son of the world, now that you are a jinshi, although you have not been selected by the museum, you should also be awarded an official. Du Weifang also wanted me to complain yesterday, saying that it was a few Chinese books in Wenyuan Pavilion that were gorgeous and inadequate, and you should go over and fight him for a few days first, which can be regarded as a good time to walk. ”

What does that mean?

For a moment, Luo Xu was taken aback. If you want to say that the official position is high, he is just walking, not even a acting position, and he doesn't even have official qualities, so he is naturally not high; But to say low...... Is there any Jinshi who has not been honed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, five years, ten years, and eight years before he can go one step further from the Ministry of Cabinet? What's more, he is still a little self-aware, and his name as the prince of Weiguo is there, and it is not so easy for civil officials to recognize

"What, you're not happy?"

"Gladly, gladly, to thank God's grace"

It was useless to think too much at this time, so Luo Xu had to thank him again. Then it was not so restrained, the emperor chatted about some big and small affairs, and his tone was very relaxed, Luo Xu and Luo Mingyuan were still cautious at first, and gradually let go - after all, one was a prince who climbed up from the bottom, and the other was a jinshi who came out of the market, and they were not the scholars who were polite at that moment. At the end, Luo Mingyuan even complained in front of the emperor that Luo Xu's son did not listen to discipline, and the marriage has not been settled so far, but Luo Xu, who has always been used to being at home with his father, opened his mouth, and then lowered his head under the warning eyes.

"It is said that my fair lady, a gentleman, such an outstanding handsome man as him, I am afraid that the matchmaker has already broken through the threshold, but he just looks down on his vision." The Emperor smiled slightly, and then said as if nothing happened, "In that case, I will be a matchmaker for him when the time comes." He is a new science and technology scholar, and he is in the top two grades, I don't know how many people are rushing to ask for it."

With this sentence, Luo Mingyuan was naturally grateful, and where did Luo Xu dare to say anything. When the father and son came out of the Qianqing Palace, Luo Mingyuan wanted to teach his son a lesson, and Luo Xu said the news that Luo Guifei had just conveyed to Duanfu Palace, and for a while, Luo Mingyuan's brows immediately wrinkled into a big pimple, but it soon stretched.

"Don't pay attention to this, your aunt is too close to King Lu, but she doesn't know that a good child is spoiled for her"

The father and son left on this side, and the emperor stood in the empty imperial study, frowning thoughtfully. He initially asked Luo Xu to take the exam, but it was just an occasional idea, but he didn't want people to really have some ability. But now that he has won the Jinshi, it is difficult to accept it for those scholars. In this case, a family affair is the most suitable.

The original official book is already old, but it still occupies the seat, so it is better to move away with the current momentum. However, Zhang Wenhan, the servant of the ministry, is young and strong, and it is rumored that the family education is also very good, and the only daughter is even more outstanding.

Luo Mingyuan's father and son went out of the palace and returned home, and Luo Xu got the news from his henchmen that made him almost stiff. He had almost completely forgotten anything else, and slammed back into his free house like a gust of wind, and roared and drove all the girls out of the house, before finally sitting down at his desk in a daze. The "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast", which had just made him ecstatic, lay quietly on the table, but it couldn't attract half of his attention.

Today, the emperor mentioned that he wanted to be a big matchmaker for him, but the other side of the carriage was to marry Chen Lan, and the reason for this was naturally not only because of the role of the Marquis of Yangning in the old nobles, but also because the ridicule in the Qianqing Palace was the most important. Although he understood the deep reason, and although he had such psychological preparations, this could not dispel the frustration in his heart in the slightest. If it can be useful to use wine to dispel sorrows, he can't wait to be drunk for 7749 days at this time.

"Big Young Master, Big Young Master"

I don't know how long it took, there was a call from Mother Lan's best to suppress outside, and he came in with a shout full of impatience.

"Young Master, there is an urgent message from the palace, saying that His Royal Highness King Lu is in a very bad condition, and Madame has already entered the palace, I heard that ...... I heard that King Wu was in the Cuiyun Hall of the West Garden......"
