Inside the Royal Palace.

In the majestic palace, the palace walls are numerous, and the Zhengxuan Wanglou is walking on the avenue to the palace, and everything is silent.

At this moment, the palace is still silent, quite a few years on this road, he has walked countless times, there are joys and sorrows, but at this moment, it is full of flavors, it is difficult to express for a while.

King Lou knew what the emperor was calling for, presumably Lou Yi brought Lu Xueyuan back was already known all over the city, and the royal majesty took the most care of face, and there were rumors from the small palace that Murong Gong was going to marry Lou Yi, which slapped the princess's face, and even hit the emperor, this pot still has to be borne by the Lou family.

When I was walking quickly to the Qinzheng Palace, I suddenly met a little eunuch, the eunuch Lou Wang was very familiar, it was the emperor's side, the former red man Xiao Xiazi, but at this moment, he was doing hard labor outside the palace gate early in the morning.

"Greetings to King Zhengxuan!" Xiao Xiazi put down the wooden bucket in his hand, lowered his head, and prostrate on the ground to say goodbye to Lou Zheng.

"Well, get up!" Lou Zhengping said, "Why haven't you seen you for so many days, but Grandpa Xia has done hard labor?" Lou Zheng looked at the wooden barrel in front of him, it was clearly an errand to wash the ground in the palace early in the morning.

"Back to King Zhengxuan's words, because the slave accidentally knocked over the tribute, the emperor specially punished the slave and cleaned the palace for a month, saying that it was to exercise the slave's hand strength." Xiao Xiazi replied cautiously, not even raising her head from beginning to end.

"Well, the emperor has his own arrangements, and we, the people, just need to listen to the dragon sound." Lou Zheng didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to say this, as if there was some comfort in it.

That little Xia Zi suddenly raised his head, looked at him with some gratitude, and said, "King Xuan, don't say that, I am a slave, you are the master, the emperor is like a brother to you, and he has been talking about you all these years!" Minions are stupid, that's why they were punished and sprinkled, you can be different! In the past few days, the emperor has been saying that he wants to announce that you will enter the palace!" As he spoke, he suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and there was joy in his eyes that he couldn't hide, as if he had been summoned by the emperor, what an amazing thing.

"Well, thank you Grandpa Xia for reminding me." After King Lou said this, he took a step forward and didn't dare to stay any longer.

"King Zhengxuan, go slowly!" Xiao Xiazi said respectfully.

In less than an hour, Lou Zheng arrived at the emperor's Qinzheng Palace, and at this moment it was already early in the morning, and he was announced into the side hall.

The newcomer on the side also smiled gently at him, as if there was something happy.

"Lord Lou, congratulations!" The new humanity.

"Where does joy come from?" Lou Zheng glanced at the little eunuch with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and said loudly.

"Hehe, you'll know when you go in, the emperor has been in for a long time, just wait for you to come!"

After the newcomer finished speaking, he walked past Lou Zheng, and his body was still stained with the smell of this elixir from nowhere, which was a little bitter and sweet, very pungent.

When Lou was raising his legs and entering the side hall, the emperor was looking at the picture of the rivers and mountains on the table, and he was full of praise and said, "What a ghost!"

Seeing him come in, Wen Sheng said to him, "Second brother, it's good that you came, come and see if my recent new map of chasing deer in the mountains and rivers has the demeanor of us hunting together back then!" As he spoke, he smiled heartily, his voice was loud, and he couldn't tell that the person in front of him was over half a hundred years old, and he couldn't be a Wandai Ming Monarch who ruled the Nine Domains.

Lou Zheng walked slowly to the front, looked at the painting in the emperor's hand, the painting is a few young people in costumes, different colors, riding horses together, behind the scene of the bright red mountain, it can not be said that it is not magnificent, even the look of the horse is vivid, as true.

"Congratulations to the emperor, and you have won the most precious treasure in the world!" Lou Zheng arched his hand.

"Hey, I've said that I'll see you here in the future, it's a family matter, since it's a family matter, don't call me the emperor, just call me eldest brother!" The emperor put down the picture in his hand and said to Lou Zhengdao, who was still bent in front of him. Chinese Net

"The emperor must not, you are now the king of a country, and the former kind ministers are really grateful, but if this is the case, it will become an arrogance, and the ministers are really frightened, and they dare not die!" Lou Zheng said and pulled out his shirt and immediately knelt on the ground, fortunately, there was a thick plush blanket on the ground, and his legs had been ill for many years

There were no seizures.

"Lou Qing, please, after so many years, you are still so loyal to your duties, this heartfelt recognition is self-deserved!" The emperor paced to him, pulled up Lou Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in greetings.

After Lou Zheng got up, he wanted to reply, but he didn't say it in a hurry, but paused, looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him, and then asked, "I don't know why the emperor summoned his ministers this time?" He cautiously speculated on the Sacred Heart, just like the previous Father-in-law Xia, facing this person was like facing a tiger, and if he was not careful, he might fall into the abyss.

"Hahahaha." When the emperor was asked about this, he first laughed, and then looked at him and said, "Lou Aiqing is blessed! Born to his son, not only dignified appearance, but also able to write and martial arts, I heard that not long ago I just returned from Qingya Mountain, I must have learned something, I can serve my family and country! Haha!" The emperor said, looking at Lou Zheng, all his thoughts were on him.

At this time, the little eunuch outside the hall came in, and brought tea to the front of the building respectfully, and served; "King Zhengxuan, please have tea."

Lou Zheng nodded, and then took the teacup, the bright yellow teacup is the unique color of the royal family, and it must not be used by outsiders. He sat on the chair next to him with a teacup, took a sip, and praised: "It is worthy of the tea in the palace, compared with my small mansion, it is really beyond reach, it can be seen that the emperor has so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, how dare my little rebel son take credit, it is really the emperor's false praise!" Lou Zheng put down the teacup as he spoke, sat upright on the chair, and said with a straight back.

"You! It's just that he spoils the child too much, so he is still so carefree now, and he can't share his worries for me, you say, should he be punished or scolded!" The emperor pretended to be angry and said to Lou Zhengdao.

"The emperor's words reminded Wei Chen, and after he went back, he severely punished this rebel, so that he could not repeat the incident!" Lou Zheng waved his hand. His sharp gaze, after half a life of battlefield, has been worn away, only the rough skin remains, like the grit in the shell of a mussel, after the years of dripping, finally turned into a pearl, although the color is bright, but no longer dazzling, but with a soft halo of light.

Officialdom is like a battlefield, if you are not careful, you will make a mistake is half a life and a lifetime of fame, if it is not for the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, how can you experience such a hundred turns of the intestines, and dismantle the emperor's-for-tat machine by machine.

When the emperor heard Lou Zheng's answer, he was displeased, and he didn't have the slightest chance to attack, so he could only laugh and say, "Lou Qing, you! It's really unforgiving, but I've never spared your mouth!"

Then they both laughed at the same time.

It seemed that the atmosphere had eased to the same extent, and Lou Zheng suddenly said: "This time, Weichen is really frightened, and I ask the emperor to make it clear!"

Today's lord of the Nine Domains, Murong Yi's clan is a hard-won foundation to become the city lord, that is, the emperor. Murong Han is a ruthless and straightforward character, even if he has been grinding some yin thoughts by the court over the years, he still likes to be straightforward and straightforward in the final analysis. This preference, Lou Zheng, who has been with him for many years, can still figure it out.

At this moment, when he said this, he was not so nervous in his heart, but quietly waited for the emperor to speak, or reprimand.

In the middle of the heart, instead of blaming, the emperor praised in a low voice: "Lou Aiqing's temperament is still the same as usual, which makes me miss it very much!" He continued, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I sometimes miss the days when we hunted together and fought on the battlefield." Murong Han said and looked into the distance with sparkling tears, as if he was recalling the glorious years that belonged to him in the past.

"What a pity! I'm old! I can't go back to that again!" After he let out a sigh, he turned his head to look at Lou Zheng, suddenly laughed, and then asked, "I remember, Lou Qing is two years younger than me, right? I'm nine out of forty this year!"

"Back to the emperor, exactly!" Lou Yi heard that the emperor suddenly missed the past, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, how high-spirited he was for a long time, and he was so young and ambitious, but now he is nearly half a hundred years old, and he is half a person who has been in the ground!

"It's not easy! Ah Yi, this child has grown up with me, and he has become a young talent in the blink of an eye! Lou Qing, you can't be bitter about this child, you should have ended his marriage early, left the house independently, and let him start a family!" emperor

Shang stared at Lou Zheng's face.

Finally got to the point, and Lou Zheng's hanging heart can also be put down. Although he loves the emperor and is afraid of the emperor, but in his only son, Lou Yi, there is an image of a great and strict father, even if he is as expensive as the son of heaven, rich as the royal family, and has the wealth of the sky, but he still can't sacrifice his son to fulfill the happiness of others, let alone be a stumbling block on his son's future life, which he has thought very clearly before he entered the palace.

At this moment, facing the majesty of the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of him, he still straightened up and replied: "Lou Yi grew up in front of the emperor since he was a child, and the emperor naturally loves him more than other children, but this child is not angry, he is used to being free, he just wants to be a person who has no quarrel with the world, he has such a temperament, it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility, and please don't break the emperor's heart for this rebel, he is really unworthy!" Lou Zheng got up and replied respectfully, calmly, but there was a kind of heroic righteousness before he died.

"Bold!!" As expected, after the emperor said this, he was immediately furious, and Yu Wei, the Son of Heaven, was still there, so frightened that all the eunuchs and palace maids outside the palace gate knelt on the ground.

Even the cups on the table were thrown out by the emperor.

"Okay, you're upright! I was kind enough to save face for you, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, do you think you don't need to go to court if you are sick, and your son doesn't need to?!" He pointed to Lou Zheng's head and scolded, "This is Cloud City, my palace! The food and drink of your family are all my rewards, and if you say you don't need it now, you won't need it! You're a rebel! It's a big rebellion! You... You! You deserve to die!!"

The entire palace was filled with the emperor's roar, and the entire hall was as silent as death, and no one dared to respond.
