Chapter 628: Dao Heart Broken
This Lu En is only thirty years old, so he should have been in high spirits when he was a jinshi. But when You Di really brought people over, Zhu Houzhao only glanced at him, and there was nothing else except that he felt that he was very old.
Lu En was wearing a blue official robe and a hood on his head, and when he saw the emperor looking at him from a distance, he bowed and bowed.
Zhu Houzhao ignored him and hung him aside.
In Lu En's eyes, he didn't know why he was suddenly summoned into the palace, and when he entered the palace, he received an errand like seeing the emperor Keju.
In his spare time, he also looked at it twice, and inwardly evaluated the emperor's skills: agile and vigorous.
Gradually, he waited a little anxiously, so he kept going to make eye contact with Minister You, but the old eunuch was a smiling man with a lot of oil, and he only smiled at him, but ignored him for anything.
I don't know how long it has passed, and the emperor is out of breath, "That's all for today, occasionally playthings, can't lose heart, go back." ”
"Yes!!"
As soon as Lu En saw that the emperor was over, he immediately bypassed the little eunuch who was accompanying him, and instead stepped behind Gonggong You in small steps, and knelt down by himself while he was greeting the emperor, "Minister Lu En, knock on the saint." ”
Zhu Houzhao wiped his sweat and only glanced at him, "Flat." Follow. ”
"Huh?" Lu En looked up in surprise.
"Tsk." You Ji feigned anger, "The palace is in the palace, don't be presumptuous!" ”
"Yes! The emperor forgives the sin. ”
Zhu Houzhao just walked forward by himself, he was going to take a bath and change clothes.
Now it's okay, Lu En has to wait outside again.
Bucket after bucket of hot water was brought in, but no one came out.
Later, he was really anxious, "Gonggong You, it has been almost two hours since the lower officials listened to the decree and waited for the decree to be at this moment. His Majesty also met with the lower officials, what do you want the lower officials to do? ”
You Ji only moved his eyes and didn't move his head, so he glanced at him obliquely, "Hurry? ”
"The lower officials don't dare."
"Alright, less loaded. I heard that you only want to be a petty official, not a big official, no matter how you think about it, you should be a hard bone. Why does it look oily? What do you mean? Want to pretend to cheat the past? ”
Lu Enpi said with a smile: "Gonggong You said that what the lower official is like, then the lower official is what it is." ”
There was a bit of a taste in the softness of these words, which made You Ji angry.
"Wait for you!"
Lu En lowered his head and stopped talking, but he couldn't tell that he was sulking, but occasionally raised his head and smiled at You Zhipi.
Zhu Houzhao leaned against the door, in fact, he saw and heard, he thought in his heart, this Lu En was probably dissatisfied with the status quo of the world to the point of despair, so he responded to the people in the world with a cynical attitude that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Someone, change clothes."
The door creaked open, and You Ji, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the slave maid ordered someone to prepare fresh peaches, Your Majesty wants to enjoy them?" ”
"Let's bring it together, let's go, let's go to Qianqing Palace." As he walked, the Emperor instructed, "Bring all the votes of the cabinet to me for reading." ”
"Yes, slave and maid."
At this time, Lu En was embarrassed again, he didn't know whether to follow or not, if he just left, he didn't dare.
In fact, You Di didn't understand what the emperor meant.
What is even more confusing is that the emperor came out after bathing as if he had forgotten such a person as Lu En, and he didn't look at it or mention it.
Lu En looked left and right with both hands in a position of holding the ball, and finally trotted two steps to follow.
There were still people in the chamber of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor habitually would review the recitals for one to two hours from evening to before it was completely dark, so they couldn't leave.
There are no labor laws to protect them.
The other chamberlains also fully understood the emperor's habits, and for several years, a set of procedures had been fixed, lighting lamps, grinding, pouring tea, and waiting for the emperor.
"See the Emperor." These are the three men in the chamber.
Zhu Hou didn't look back, only waved his hand, and they skillfully retreated.
After he sat down in the imperial case, the fresh peach You Ji said was also peeled, Zhu Houzhao picked up one and ate it, drank a few sips of boiled water, and then put his hand on the book.
At this time, he finally looked up.
Lu En was originally peeking, but he was startled when he bumped into the emperor's sight, and immediately sorted out his demeanor, "Minister Lu En, knock on the emperor." ”
"Stand on the sidelines. You Address,"
"The slave is here."
"If he is in a hurry, take him with him."
"Yes......"
After that, the palace fell silent. Under the lights, the emperor was engrossed in the recital.
Lu En was already completely confused, he didn't know what the Son of Heaven was thinking, just let him stand like this, what could be more boring than this?
Looking around for a while, he finally set his sights on the emperor as well.
Before coming today, he hadn't thought that he would see the emperor one day, of course, he had heard a lot in the past, what kind of sage, virtuous, and majestic......
And as far as the present is concerned, the Son of Heaven does have a diligent administration, there are three stacks of music on the imperial case in front of him, each stack has more than 20 copies, the emperor can have such patience, read one by one, and then write after reading, and almost will not show great irritability in the process.
At one point, he heard a voice.
"Let Jin Gui come here."
Gonggong You, who was standing with him, seemed to be about to fall asleep, and immediately shook a little, "Yes." ”
Then a middle-aged official in his forties appeared respectfully on the side.
Lu En heard the emperor ask, "Well, I remember that last year, there was a disaster report in Guide Mansion in Henan, and I ordered several counties in Guide Mansion to be exempted from money and grain, right?" ”
"This is indeed the case, Your Majesty has exempted a total of three counties from money and food."
"What's the name of the prefect of the Guide Mansion?"
Jin Gui was also surprised, "Oh, by the way, it is the Baoding prefect Lu Shiyu who had an accident this time." ”
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao frowned a little, "I didn't expect it yet." But Peng Ze's letter told me about the disaster relief in Germany, which just reminded me. ”
The Cabinet's vote this time is still for disaster relief.
But Zhu Houzhao felt that the situation might be a little complicated, "Yes, you draft a decree to Peng Ze, the governor of Henan, and ask him to pay careful attention to the matter of Guide Mansion, to put it bluntly, the number of victims will not decrease, it will not be just a matter of the prefect, and the officials at all levels must sort it out." In addition, go find out the original words of last year's song and copy them and attach them to the back. Tell him that this matter is important, and it can't be solved if it drags on, so he has to ask him! ”
"Yes!"
Jin Gui led the order immediately, there will be a lot of urgent content like this, and it will take a long time for Zhu Houzhao to write it by himself, so he will ask Jin Gui to write it on his behalf, this is not called laziness, it is called improving efficiency, Jin Gui will show him after he finishes writing.
After reading it, he thought, well, that's what I mean. Then he will simply say two sentences of Zhu Pi on it, telling the officer that this is also the emperor Zhu Pi, hurry up and do it.
In this way, the efficiency of the emperor's administration can be greatly improved.
In fact, this is another kind of vote, and the cabinet itself is pasting its own opinions on the note for the emperor's reference, and now Zhu Houzhao is just taking out the kind of one that needs to be discussed at length.
It's hard to listen to these conversations.
After that, the emperor also found several attendants, covering the livelihood of the people, border defense and horse politics, money, grain taxes, and customs.
The emperor basically instructed officials everywhere to obey the law and protect the people, and the emperor was very smart and could find some loopholes accidentally left by officials from many omissions.
In this way, more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the emperor began to stretch and twist his body,
"You address, clean up, go to bed."
"Yes!"
At this time, the Son of Heaven finally walked in front of him and looked at him squarely.
"Your Majesty, Weichen Lu En was edicted to enter the palace today, I don't know what Your Majesty has to tell your ministers?"
The emperor had a playful expression, "Whatever I tell you, will you do?" ”
"The minister didn't understand what the emperor meant. The minister is the minister of the Ming Dynasty and the minister of the emperor, of course, he obeys the emperor's orders. ”
"Listen to everything?"
Lu En didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he could only nod, "Listen to everything." ”
Just as he was waiting a little nervously for what would happen next, he suddenly heard the Son of Heaven say, "Go out of the palace tonight, enter the palace at noon tomorrow, if you miss the hour, I will let you eat in prison!" ”
Lu En was completely confused, what the hell was this for?
He stood on this day with sore calves, but he didn't catch anything, so he listened to a few very inexplicable words. Isn't that tormenting him?
In fact, Zhu Houzhao was still good to him, and asked You Ji to send him out of the palace.
All the way to the gate of the palace, Lu En never gave up, "Gonggong You, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”
You Di didn't pay attention to him, "Remember to enter the palace on time tomorrow, and our family will order someone to pick you up." ”
Lu En was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, and when he arrived outside the palace, he directly revealed the broken side of his Dao heart, "No one can say why this is!" ”
