Chapter 38: Pilgrimage

Zhang Zhenglu's tone sounded neither sad nor arrogant, and even Liu Jun couldn't guess it for a while.

Why has the other party's attitude changed so much in just a few days?

However, Liu Jun didn't put too much thought into this, and didn't want to entangle with the other party.

Nodding slightly at the other party, even if it was a greeting.

Liu Jun continued to walk forward with his head held high, but after a few steps, he found that Zhang Zhenglu was pacing slowly behind him, but the direction was still roughly the same as his own.

It's just that Liu Jun already had a guess in his heart, but he still slowed down and deliberately waited for Zhang Zhenglu to come.

Zhang Zhenglu walked forward for a while, and suddenly found that Liu Jun was still in front of him, and his pace was slow, as if he was enjoying the scenery along the way, and he also stopped.

"The scenery in this garden is picturesque, isn't the regent blinded?"

was so teased by the other party, Liu Jun's hand was still tightly behind his back, and he smiled after listening to it.

"The view from the garden is really good, but I do wait for Master Zhang here."

Zhang Zhenglu's expression was still full of surprise, but he still saluted Liu Jun respectfully.

"I don't know what the regent commands, what we need to do is what we need to do, it's better to say it directly, and Wechen will definitely do it."

"I see that Master Zhang and I are in the same direction, and we should also go to Chengqian Palace, why don't we go together!"

If the other party denies it, of course, it is better, but if the other party admits it......

"I just went to report some things in the court to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was very sympathetic after hearing it, and asked me to go and tell the emperor again.

"I don't know if there's anything I can share."

Liu Jun stretched out his hand towards the other party, saw that the other party didn't pay attention to him, and took it back.

"The regent is already very tired to investigate the assassination case, and if you work your mind for these trivial things, then wouldn't it be disrespectful? Although I'm not smart, I won't commit these capital crimes, so it's better to go to the emperor first! ”

Yes, if Zhang Zhenglu was instructed by the Empress Dowager, but he came to tell himself first, he was afraid that he would be known by someone with a heart, and he would say that he despised the imperial power.

Although the little emperor is not suspicious, he should also care more.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun no longer bothered about these little things, but just went to the direction of Chengqian Palace with Zhang Zhenglu one after another.

The little emperor seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was not surprised when he saw the two of them coming, sitting high on the dragon chair, Liu Jun and Zhang Zhenglu stood in front of the chair.

Zhang Zhenglu saluted steadily, and Liu Jun stood in front of him, but he looked a little unruly.

"I wonder if you two came together, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I have been investigating the assassination case recently, but the progress so far has been very meager, and Weichen is a little in a maze, so I came to discuss it with the emperor."

Liu Jun took the first step to speak, but Zhang Zhenglu still did not say anything.

"In that case, you might as well talk about it."

The little emperor raised his hand at Zhang Zhenglu, his eyes were full of expectation, as if he hoped that Liu Jun would speak.

Then look at the other party's expectations, but a little helpless.

If Zhang Zhenglu was not in the main hall at this time, he did not doubt that the little emperor would sit on the ground with him and start the discussion.

"I've sealed off the top and bottom of Lin'an City, but it's just ...... It's just that the effect is really minimal, almost all the assassins that night used the number of pieces, but I can't find a large number of people who use swords now, I'm about to turn over Lin'an City, and now it has no effect, I really feel a little ashamed of Tian'en. ”

"What's the matter with Lord Zhang's visit this time?"

Zhang Zhenglu, who had been standing next to him and didn't speak, was suddenly named, and quickly arched his hands and saluted respectfully to the little emperor, not as rebellious as before.

"Previously, for the sake of the war between the two countries, I have been unable to discuss, but today I heard that Wu Guo has plans to send troops again, and I specially came to report to the emperor."

Wu is going to send troops again!

Dahua has just experienced several wars, and now his vitality has not recovered, not to mention that Wu Guobing is strong and strong, if he really fights, the probability of wanting to please is too low.

Liu Jun glanced at Zhang Zhenglu, and the smugness in his eyes immediately guessed that the other party was gambling, and the little emperor would not dare to take the people of the world as a bet.

Really.

Although the little emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and even his age is still young, but he has put the people of the world in his heart, if there is another war, it will definitely be a disaster, which is the result that the little emperor does not want to see, and the Wu side is under pressure again......

If the little emperor does not pay compensation, it seems that he will really enter a predicament, and there is no way to solve it.

The little emperor was in a dilemma all of a sudden, and Zhang Zhenglu's voice was not impatient.

"I already knew before, what the emperor meant, we are a big country, and we can't do such a shameful thing as land cession and compensation, but now...... Your Majesty, you can't delay the overall situation for the sake of face now. ”

Zhang Zhenglu knelt down straight as he spoke, listening to the plopping sound of Liu Jun, he felt that his knees hurt.

The assassins of the Admiralty and the pressure from foreign countries were enough to make the little emperor, a very young child, collapse, but the little emperor was still sitting in the dragon valley car, although his face was embarrassed, but he did not show what he was thinking.

"What does the Empress Dowager mean?"

"The Empress Dowager means...... If the land reparation and relatives can be exchanged for the prosperity and peace of Dahua, then the land will be ceded and the compensation will be paid and the relatives will be paid, but don't go to war again, and don't let more people be displaced. ”

No wonder that direction just now came from the Queen Mother's bedroom, it turned out that I really went to ask the Queen Mother for this life amulet.

The doubts in Liu Jun's heart suddenly brightened up at this moment, and seeing the emperor sitting steadily on top of the high hall, his eyes seemed to be asking for help from himself, Liu Jun could only speak hard.

"The news from Wu Guo's side spread so quickly, and before it reached the court, it had already been known to Lord Zhang, a civil official."

"No, it's just that Wu Guo is pressuring, I've been looking for someone to keep an eye on, I'm afraid that if the other party really invades on a large scale, we will have a posture of having more than enough heart and not enough strength."

The other party's words are sincere, and every sentence is true, but it is somewhat credible.
