Because of Zhu Hao's proposal, Lu Song temporarily changed his mind, ended camping early in the afternoon, and set off to "return to the city", but in fact, he did not go back, but continued to Hanshui.

Along the way, I saw many customs and people, all kinds of people, etc.

When we arrived at the ferry, the flow of people began to intensify.

Zhu San and Zhu Si happily got off the carriage, accompanied by the guards, walked through the downtown area spontaneously formed by the merchants, from time to time into the shops on both sides of the shop to hang out, touch this, ask that, and stop in front of the stalls to admire, and finally came to the ferry pier, wanting to try on the boat.

Lu Song was afraid of losing control, and seeing that Zhu San and Zhu Si were like wild horses, it was difficult to retract their hearts, so he finally turned his heart sideways, forcibly went up to pick up the person, let the guards send them to the carriage, and returned to the city.

"Zhu Hao, if something happens, you can't afford it, Yuan Changshi will hold you accountable and don't want to escape!"

Lu Song gritted his teeth and finally revealed his true heart.

Why did he agree to Zhu San and Zhu Si to wander around this time, and even go deep into the downtown area?

Let's just say that it was instigated by Zhu Hao!

Even if I am blamed, at most I will only be fined and punished with a cane, but this kid will definitely be kicked out of Xingwang's mansion, and even make Xingwang feel that this kid has ulterior motives, otherwise why would he have such a bad idea?

But on the way back, Lu Song regretted it.

Originally, I wanted to design a pit for Zhu Hao, but this kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is really worth it? And think about it carefully, Zhu Hao's previous proposal was actually considered for the safety of the prince, and the proposal was not unreasonable, but how to explain to the above after going back?

……

……

When the group returned to Xingwangfu, they saw Luo Sheng, the deputy guard of the honor guard of the palace, guarding the door, and when he saw Lu Song's face, he shouted with a dark face: "Go, follow me to see the prince now!" ”

Lu Song couldn't help but glance sideways at the carriage where the three children were riding, at this time Zhu Hao and the others had not yet gotten off the carriage, and he felt that he would definitely be held accountable this time.

followed Luo Sheng all the way to the door of the inner courtyard study, but saw that Zhu Youqi was talking to Yuan Zonggao inside, and after Luo Sheng went in to report, Lu Song went in under his guidance.

"Lu Dianzhan, what danger can the prince encounter when he travels today?"

As always, it was Yuan Zonggao who asked.

Lu Song is very familiar with Yuan Zonggao's temperament, and before saying anything, he always has to "beat around the bush", first ask some questions that are related but not the main topic, and finally cut to the topic, giving people a sense of step-by-step, in fact, it is to gradually break the psychological defense of the person being questioned with the mentality of an old fox.

Lu Song replied respectfully: "There is no danger, and they all return to the city safely." ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Zonggao nodded, "I heard that you were in the wilderness outside the city, but you just stayed for a short time, and then continued to leave, and you have also been to the riverside bazaar?" ”

Lu Song wanted to explain, but suddenly realized that he was already being held accountable, and if he had to forcibly defend himself, it would be to use strong words, as a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders, how can he make excuses for his disobedience?

"Yes."

Lu Song replied with a restrained face.

Yuan Zonggao's tone turned cold: "Don't you know that this will put the prince in danger?" ”

Lu Song hesitated, but still hugged his fists and said: "I think that if you let the prince stay where you are, even if there are a large number of guards around, if someone disguises herself as a thief and kills him several times as many as the guards, I am afraid that I will lose my mind...... You can't stay somewhere for a long time and give Xiaoxiao a chance to take advantage of. ”

Originally, Zhu Youqi, Yuan Zonggao and Luo Sheng were all murderous and ready to surrender.

Hearing this, Yuan Zonggao was speechless for a while, turned his head to look at Zhu Youqi, and continued to ask: "This is why you took the prince to the riverside?" ”

Lu Song said: "I wanted to take the prince back to the city directly, but the prince was ...... If you want to play outside the city for a while, you will think about it, the ferry is full of buildings, even if there are thieves attacking, you can defend according to the danger, and hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and the security is guaranteed.

"In addition, there are many merchants coming and going in the ferry bazaar, and there are also fishermen, hunters, and farmers trading here...... The humble position is entrusted by Yuan Changshi, please punish King Xing and Yuan Changshi! ”

not only explained the reason, but also pleaded guilty, Lu Song's words can be regarded as neither humble nor arrogant.

Yuan Zonggao was not easy to make a decision on this kind of matter, so he asked Zhu Youqi instead: "King Xing, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Youqi was originally angry, but after listening to Lu Song's words, not only did his anger disappear, but he appreciated Lu Song a little more, nodded and said in an approving tone: "Lu Dianzhen is thoughtful, as the so-called general will not accept the life of the monarch outside, and make decisions that are conducive to the safety of the prince according to the situation on the spot, not sticking to the law, and should not be punished." ”

When he said this, Yuan Zonggao didn't think anything about it, and Luo Sheng and Lu Song, who were not sensitive enough to politics, were full of surprise.

A guard who didn't obey the orders of the upper peak, can he still be commended?

Yuan Zonggao also smiled: "In fact, the old man has always felt that Lu Dian is brave and strategic, and he has always been concerned about protecting the prince, and even does not hesitate to put himself responsible for disobeying orders for the safety of the prince...... King Xing, such a loyal subordinate, not only should not be punished, but should be rewarded. ”

Not to mention Lu Song, Luo Sheng felt that his values had been subverted.

Zhu Youqi looked at Lu Song with a smile, and said, "Okay, then Yuan Changshi will be the master, and reward it as appropriate." ”

Yuan Zonggao looked at Lu Song carefully: "Lu Dianzhan, even if today's incident is a change you made according to the actual situation, it has always violated the decree of King Xing, and you should try to avoid it in the future...... In the future, the safety of King Xing, you also have to think more, okay, you go down first! ”

This is tantamount to telling Lu Song, today you are not only not at fault, but have merit, since you are willing to be condemned by King Xing in order to protect the safety of the prince, so loyal, then the responsibility of protecting King Xing in the future will of course fall on your head.

……

……

Lu Song came out of the study with a lot of emotion in his heart.

At that time, he used a little caution to drive Zhu Hao out of Xingwangfu at the cost of his own guilt, but he also took a credit?

How do you think that this credit was all won by Zhu Hao for himself, and even the previous justifications were not taught to him by Zhu Hao when he analyzed the situation at that time?

"Could it be that this kid is really dedicated to the safety of the world, otherwise why would even King Xing appreciate his determination? Thinking about it, he sacrificed his life to save people in the fire, and now it seems that the kid already knew the identity of the son of the world at that time, but he deliberately pretended to be confused. ”

Back to the West Courtyard.

Zhu San and Zhu Si have gone into the inner courtyard of the palace to rest, while Zhu Hao, Jing Hong and Lu Bing are still washing their faces, although the three children are not the same age, but there is no barrier at all, the son is a short man mixed in the middle of the two older children, not abrupt at all, at this time the son stirred the water in the basin, sprinkled Jing Hong and Zhu Hao, and smiled very happily.

This shows that Zhu Hao and Jing Hong have never treated their son like an oil bottle.

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Song cleared his throat and reminded the three little ones, I'm here!

Only then did Jing Hong stop arguing with Lu Bing and look at Lu Song instead.

Lu Song taught his son with a straight face: "It's cold, get a body of water, aren't you afraid of getting sick?" ”

Lu Bingdao: "Dad, there isn't much water, we have a measure, and the water has a certain amount, let's see who splashes a lot on it...... I didn't lose! ”

For Lu Bing at this age, winning or losing is the most important, especially when studying with a few children older than himself, not falling behind is what Lu Song and Fan have repeatedly emphasized, and he has taken this as his goal, and his studies are temporarily incomparable, so he has turned to all aspects of daily life and play.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Okay, okay, stop playing, you go into the house and wipe ...... Lu Dian is tired, right? Here, wash your face. ”

Jing Hong touched the wet clothes on his body, laughed, and entered the house with Lu Bing.

Lu Song withdrew his gaze from his son and looked at Zhu Hao: "You kid, why don't you let the two princes stay in that meadow for a long time today?" Did you find out what news in advance? ”

After thinking about it, Lu Song decided that if King Xing and Yuan Zonggao rewarded themselves instead of punishing them, it might be that they detected the movements of Jinyiwei, and they avoided the danger by mistake...... He didn't believe that Zhu Hao could guess in advance, so he thought that Zhu Hao hinted at him after learning the information and asked him to make changes in time.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said: "I don't know anything, and I always think that it is unlikely that Jinyiwei will openly attack the prince of Xingwang, after all, if something happens to the prince of Xingwang, will no one else threaten the throne?" ”

Lu Song was speechless for a while.

It is understandable that Jin Yiwei investigated and spied on the intelligence of Xingwangfu, but it was not so reasonable to kill Xingwang's son.

King Xing has only one son, Zhu Houxi, but even if the son of King Xing dies, there are thousands of clans in the world, and there will be other heirs after all, can you kill the entire royal family surnamed Zhu?

If one of the children of the clan dies, the other heirs will automatically advance, even if you kill them all, Emperor Zhengde has no son, and the throne still has to find someone to inherit after all.

"Lu Dianzhan, you should have met Yuan Changshi, right? Did Yuan Changshi listen to what I analyzed with you and didn't blame him, so you think I knew something in advance? ”

Zhu Hao's words made Lu Song feel very dangerous.

Why did he tell the truth in his heart again?

Lu Song said with a dark face: "Zhu Hao, do you understand that if you say too much, you will lose?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "I think, the reason why Yuan Changshi agrees with your approach is that you and I are not wrong in our choice, before leaving the city, there may be a deviation in even Yuan Changshi's own thinking about the safety of the prince, as long as you make a decision that is for the good of the prince, Ruoxing Wangfu will still blame you...... Who will fight for their lives to protect the son of the world in the future? ”

Listening to Zhu Hao's words, Lu Song instantly realized.

It's not because Xingwangfu really found out that Jinyiwei had attacked the prince, but because Xingwangfu wanted to reward and protect the prince and set an example for other guards, otherwise, why did he call Luo Sheng over and let Luo Sheng be surprised for a long time?

Condemnation should be done in front of others, and the same is true for rewards, forming an exemplary effect.

Of course, at first, he did ask Lu Song to surrender the crime, but later he felt that the reward played a greater exemplary role, so he changed it to a reward.

In this way, Luo Sheng went back to convey King Xing's instructions, and the people below knew that in order to protect King Xing's son, even if he disobeyed the order, it was okay, as long as it was from the heart, everything was for the good of the son.

At the same time, it is also to declare that the rewards and punishments of the Xingwang Mansion are clear.
