Chapter 142: Poor Lu Yan
When King Shun's words fell, Li Wei's hanging eyes flashed, and then he thanked His Majesty Longen.
Li Wei, as a feudal official, although he was far away from the border, he still understood the situation of the imperial court. He knew that King Guangling suddenly fell seriously ill after he was summoned to Kyoto, and he had also heard rumors that the emperor was hunted down and killed on his way to the throne of King Guangling.
The emperor summoned him to Kyoto this time, and Li Wei didn't think that the emperor dared to do anything to him, after all, behind him was an army of more than 100,000 in Liangzhou.
At this time, Li Wei said with a smile: "I came from afar with the king, and I am extremely tired from thinking about it, and the mansion has prepared a banquet, so it is better to enter the mansion for a while." ”
King Shun did not refuse, and led people into it after bowing his head lightly.
Li Wei set up a banquet, his three sons took him as an accompaniment, and there was a right-hand man who had followed Li Wei for many years, although Lu Yan was only a county order, but Huaxian County was different after all, so he was also fortunate to sit at the end of the seat today.
King Shun is the only remaining son of the emperor, and he is surrounded by people wherever he goes, at this time he sits in the banquet, and Li Wei is not arrogant or impatient, calm and moderate.
After a round of drinking, King Shun looked at Lu Yan, who was sitting at the end, and said, "Lu County Ling Keben is from Tanzhou?" ”
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect King Shun to notice a small county order from him, "Back to Your Highness, exactly." ”
Li Bozhen glanced at Lu Yan, and then asked with a smile: "Your Highness, is there an old relationship with Lu County?" ”
King Shun said quietly: "The ancestral home of the Chen family of this royal mother family is in Tanzhou, and the Lu family is also a big family in Tanzhou, and there is a concubine in this palace from the side branch of the Lu family. ”
The people did not know that it was agreeable for King Shun to suddenly say this.
King Shun continued: "Before leaving Kyoto, the king's concubine told the king about the Luxian order. ”
Lu Yan was a little panicked at this time, and he didn't know why King Shun specifically mentioned him during the banquet! He always had a premonition of disaster from above.
Li Bozhen asked cheerfully: "What is it that makes His Highness worry." ”
King Shun chuckled lightly, and his tone was mocking, "This king's concubine said that Lu County's order drove his ex-wife and eldest son back to his hometown in Tanzhou, and then both of them had accidents one after another."
Lu Yan's face changed greatly, he didn't know that his family affairs could reach the ears of King Shun.
He got up and knelt down in the center of the hall, "Weichen, Weichen..."
Lu Yan bowed his head to the ground and didn't know what to admit wrong.
Li Bozhen on the side frowned slightly, not knowing what King Shun was doing.
Lu Yan's stepwife Wang is related to his mother's family, and Lu Yan is also his person, could it be that King Shun wants to slap him in the face?
King Shun put down his wine glass leisurely, "Today is a good day for Zhenxi Hou, Lu County ordered you to do this to find bad luck?" Don't get up yet, go back. ”
A layer of sweat appeared on Lu Yan's forehead, and he returned to his seat nervously.
King Shun didn't let him go, "As an official of the imperial court, the family is not in order, how can you govern a county?" ”
Lu Yan wiped his sweat, his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know what King Shun wanted.
What King Shun wanted, it was just to show his relationship with Lu Yan in public, and find a reason for himself to patronize Lu Yan's house in the future.
The generals present felt that King Shun was using Lu Yan to make an ugly appearance to the people of Liangzhou.
After the banquet, King Shun received the list of casualties of the soldiers that Li Wei had counted earlier, although the list had already been reported to the imperial court, he still had to verify it when he came, so as to prevent Li Wei from embezzling it.
On the one hand, the bereavement is one thing, but also to reward the three armies on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so as to achieve the goal of making the military and people in Liangzhou not only know the state pastor Li Wei and not the Son of Heaven.
King Shun was very busy, and so were the ministers and generals who came with him.
Li Wei only took a few dozen soldiers to Kyoto, of course, it is unknown how many people followed him secretly.
On the plain outside Yongcheng, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and their momentum soared into the sky.
King Shun, who was located on the city tower, looked solemn, and the henchman commander of King Shun on the side whispered: "The soldiers of Liangzhou are tall and strong, and the killing aura is very strong, and this momentum cannot be compared with the forbidden army. ”
The forbidden army has been "honored" in Beijing for many years, and it has only the name of the forbidden army, and to put it mildly, I haven't even seen blood, how can it be compared with the Liangzhou army that came out of the fierce battle on the battlefield.
King Shun suddenly felt that the seemingly impregnable imperial capital turned out to be nothing more than gold and jade.
Xiao Feng is now a partial general who can command 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he is also in the tens of thousands of troops downstairs.
The people of Liangzhou are tall and strong, in case something goes wrong today, he also pads the shoulders and waist and abdomen in the clothes under the armor, wraps two layers of cowhide, puts on the armor, the whole person is more strong, the face is black and red, and there is a large beard, he believes that King Shun will not recognize him even if he walks to him.
After King Shun returned from Yongcheng, he took people into the Lu Mansion openly.
The Wang family had already heard that Lu Yan was reprimanded in the state pastoral mansion because of the death of his ex-wife Zhang and eldest son, and heard that the next person came to report that King Shun was coming, and she didn't know what to do.
Lu Yan hurriedly ushered in, he bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know why Your Highness is here?" ”
King Shun sat on the top, took a sip of tea and said, "This king's concubine was once taken care of by your father, and this king came to your house to see your father, why didn't he see him?" ”
Lu Yan was full of doubts in his heart, and said with embarrassment on his face: "My father didn't like the noise in the city, so he went to live in the village. ”
Since ancient times, unfilial people have to be poked in the back, Lu Yan, the county order, has done a good job, and he doesn't want to lose this black gauze hat.
"Oh, which village did you go to?" King Shun asked.
"This, this, Weichen really doesn't know." Lu Yan was in a cold sweat, and shouted in his heart, Dad, you have made your son miserable!
King Shun threw the teacup, which startled Lu Yan.
"You don't know your father's whereabouts, as a son of man?"
Lu Yan knelt down with a puff, "Weichen really doesn't know, Weichen's father..."
Lu Yan argued, and he couldn't hide the contradiction with his father, and explained the cause and effect clearly.
King Shun squinted his eyes and looked at the frightened and trembling Lu Yan, who kept saying that he didn't know where his father was, and he already believed most of it in his heart but was unwilling.
These days, he privately ordered someone to check Lu Yuan's whereabouts, but he only found that someone did see Lu Yuan go out of the city alone, and as for where he went, he really couldn't find a trace.
"Your father has been missing for many days, and you don't have the slightest worry as a son of man, Lu County Order, the wicked woman in your house is really a good means, and you can still live a leisurely life by making your father-in-law angry out of the house. Didn't you two join forces to murder your father? ”
Lu Yan was shocked, "How can Your Highness detain me for this crime, Weichen is wronged!" ”
"Wronged? Don't get your missing father back yet! ”
King Shun shook his sleeves, "This king sees that your wife Wang is very suspicious, and before your father comes back, the king of the Wang family will be detained." ”
Lu Yan didn't know why things had developed like this, it was useless to beg and beg, so he could only watch King Shun order someone to take the Wang family away, and the Wang family's shouts of grievances resounded across the street.
