In Tai'an City, around the central axis of the main road connecting the Liyang Palace, the mansion of the Marquis of the Duke is dotted in the inner city, the first auxiliary mansion, the Shangshu mansion, the six departments of the court, the three divisions of the palace... Like the most loyal guards, they surrounded the imperial palace at the end of Tianyuan Avenue, and together outlined this majestic and magnificent first city in the world.

The night is hazy, even if spring has begun now, but there is still a hint of coolness in the air.

Lu Ze was full of alcohol without the slightest hint, he raised his eyes to look at the extremely prosperous and simple military department Shangshu Mansion in front of him, the black-on-gold plaque at the front gate was given by the Liyang Emperor, the owner of this place was surnamed Gu, even if it was not obvious above the Liyang court over the years, but no one dared to ignore the general who stood at the head of the military generals during the court meeting.

Gu Jiantang.

This Shangzhu Kingdom, who destroyed Dongyue and Southern Tang alone during the Spring and Autumn War, compared with the person who also rose in the Spring and Autumn Period, Tu Xu Xiao, it seems that it is just the difference between the Shangzhu Kingdom and the Great Pillar Kingdom, Xu Xiao was deprived of the title of the Great Pillar Country after obtaining the hereditary replacement in Tai'an City, but it is a pity that no one will compare Lord Gu Jiantang with Xu Xiao, as if people have subconsciously thought that Lord Gu and that person Tu are not at the same level.

Murder is nothing more than that.

To this day, the death of the slaughter of people has made a lot of noise in Tai'an City, even if it is a posthumous nickname, the world will be full of public debates for ten years, and the last words of Emperor Liyang before his death to kill Xu Xiao as soon as possible seem very prescient, Xu Xiao was born as a masterpiece, and after his death, he is the king of ghosts.

In contrast, our Gu Jiantang Shangshu will always be ignored.

Although he was deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor in the Liyang Dynasty and deeply respected by the civil and military officials, it was not easy to think about all kinds of feelings in his heart, otherwise he would not have secretly hooked up with Cao Changqing, the remnant of Western Chu, in a vain attempt to subvert the Central Plains.

At this moment, in the study where no one dared to disturb the Gu Mansion, Gu Jiantang, who was silently contemplating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be a thunderbolt in the eyes of the first person in the world, and not far from him was the talisman knife Fang Cun Lei, the middle-aged man in a loose robe looked extremely ordinary, General Gu did not look as upright and martial as rumored in the market, I think it was those who wanted to borrow General Gu to belittle the person who slaughtered Bei Liang, and they were suspected of excessive praise in the process.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is here."

"However, Gu Jiantang didn't have a good wine here to greet him."

"Please forgive your sins."

As soon as Gu Jiantang's words fell, with this study as the center, an invisible position rose in an instant around him, completely isolating the sound in it, and the middle-aged man looked at Lu Ze, who walked into the study with a calm demeanor and a noble son, his face couldn't help but be a little dignified, this His Royal Highness's martial arts cultivation was far more terrifying than the rumors.

The people who are loved by heaven and earth luck are really so powerful?

This is the same for His Royal Highness in front of him, and the same is true for Jiang Ni, the princess of the dead country who absorbed most of the remaining luck of Western Chu.

"It's just that I don't know why His Highness came uninvited?"

The day of the crown prince has been set above the Yang court, even if those old ministers of Western Chu call it happy, it is useless, but I think that His Majesty the emperor does not like to see the prince of the East Palace who has been canonized by himself, and there is more private contact with General Gu, the head of the generals, especially at the critical time when that person was slaughtered.

Therefore, this Lord Gu, who is well versed in officialdom and the emperor's thoughts, used the method of the talisman to set up a barrier here at the first time, and three barriers have been set up in a short period of time, the world only knows that Gu Jiantang is the leader of the world's sword, but only those who really understand the details of this general Gu know that his method of talisman is also the best in the world, and its matching knife square inch thunder is created by the method of talisman.

Lu Ze chuckled: "These days, isn't General Gu waiting for this king to come to visit?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiantang, the owner of this place, narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Why did Your Highness say this? ”

Lu Ze looked around at the private study of the military department, which contained all kinds of rare military strategies in the world, even if he had been in the position of the military department for more than 20 years, Gu Jiantang never seemed to have forgotten his original identity, Lu Ze looked at the general, and then his words were very decisive and poked at his life.

"Cao Changqing died at the hands of this king, presumably General Gu stayed up all night on the day he learned the news? After twenty years of planning, seeing that it is about to come to the time to harvest the fruit, Cao Changqing died at this critical time, how can the general accept it? ”

Gu Jiantang's face was still the same: "I don't know what His Highness means." ”

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Isn't the general still unaware? Cao Changqing, the remnant of Western Chu, tried in vain to restore the country in Guangling Road, colluding with General Gu and the Dongyue Horse Wang, one of the four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties, and agreed to allow the restoration of Dongyue afterwards. ”

"As for the evidence? Does the general think this kind of thing is important? ”

Gu Jiantang was restless today, even in his most comfortable hidden secretary's room, it was difficult to calm down, which was extremely rare for Gu Jiantang, who had entered the realm of celestial phenomena, with the arrival of Lu Ze, General Gu's long-standing uneasy premonition finally came true.

Liyang Shangzhu State, the head of the military department, the head of the generals, and the leader of the hundreds of thousands of Ji armies in the two Liao... It seems that it has come to a fork in the road of life, and it is often said that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, but when is the temple that is not inferior to the rivers and lakes in terms of danger, when is it a suitable place to get along, and this kind of thing can't help but happen to the so-called big people.

In life, we all can't help ourselves.

Lu Ze clearly felt that Gu Jiantang on the other side had countless thoughts in an instant, and his heart quickly turned.

After a long time, I only heard Gu Jiantang sigh heavily, this general Gu who was nicknamed by many people as 'Spring and Autumn Passerby' seemed to be extremely aggrieved in his life, Gu Jiantang looked at the young vassal king in front of him, this His Royal Highness, who was already the future son of heaven in Liyang, whether it was martial arts cultivation or strategy city, was shocking, this was a more terrifying existence than His Majesty and even the former emperor who ruled the Spring and Autumn Period.

Gu Jiantang finally chose to lower his head.

Lu Ze's expression was flat.

"The Great General made a wise choice."

"No matter what you do, no one is perfect in your heart, these princes and princes of the court, there are very few who are really loyal to Liyang, but as long as they can successfully complete the tasks they need to complete, these things are naturally fine."

Lu Ze smiled and left quietly, just as he came.

And General Gu, who stood in place for a long time before sitting down, was already stained with countless cold sweats behind his white luxurious clothes, and the simple conversation with His Highness had exhausted most of the general's qi and spirit, Gu Jiantang looked at the talisman knife beside him that had been with him for many years, and it seemed that it was difficult to even get out of the sheath just now.

Lord Shangzhu gently stroked the scabbard of the ancient long knife, but his expression at the moment looked extremely lonely.

"Xu Xiao."

"I've never been able to compare to you in my life."

Just now, His Royal Highness had already told him Gu Jiantang at the end, if he wanted to keep the current glory and wealth, then he needed to have more meritorious achievements, and soon after, the brand-new court in Liyang allowed someone to lie on the merit book and eat the old book, but the power in his hand needed to have enough strength to correspond.

"Spring and autumn have passed, and spring and autumn are coming again."

......

Lu Ze was not surprised that the great general Gu Jiantang finally bowed his head.

This General Gu, who was born in Qingzhou, was able to go all the way to his current position, and his ability to kill the leading army and lead the troops on the battlefield is not inferior to that person slaughter, but he has that terrible craftsmanship in his bones, which is far inferior to that person in this regard.

Lu Feiqi also talked to Lu Ze about General Gu, who was born in Qingzhou but had no connection with the Green Party.

The general meaning is that Gu Jiantang's ability is very outstanding, but this vision is not very good, he lacks courage, and everything will be two or three beats slower, just like when Xu Xiao destroyed the Six Kingdoms, this General Gu only came to prominence, as if this time it was completely folded in Lu Ze's hands, and he wanted to plan a rebellion with that Cao official when the world was decided.

The so-called Spring and Autumn Passerby is not without reason.

Liyang Chaotang quickly returned to its former appearance, but the old lady Sun Xiji has been ill in recent days, and the courtiers of the old party of the Eight Kingdoms have gradually become silent after losing this backbone, it seems that since the head of the Cao official was sent to Tai'an City, the spirit that has always existed in the old party has begun to dissipate, and now His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards them has also become ambiguous.

The most important thing is that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has begun to approach the court.

In mid-May, the canonization ceremony of the Emperor is now getting closer and closer, and His Majesty the Emperor is now beginning to gradually delegate power to the prince, this young Royal Highness has shown extremely old and spicy political methods, even the blue-eyed Shoufu Zhang Julu is very bold to sigh a sentence of 'Heavenly Monarch', after hearing the evaluation of Lord Shoufu from the mouth of Song Tanglu, the chief eunuch in charge of the Heart Palace, he laughed heartily, and did not care about this rebellious evaluation at all.

Liyang Chaotang seems to be about to enter a new stage, and the prince is about to enter the court.

And it was precisely at this critical time that the old lady Sun Xiji, who had been ill for a long time, returned to the court, and then there was an old speaker named Chen Xiaoru who was still the king of Shu Lu Ze, and it was because of the princess Jing'an who came to Tai'an City by Lu Ze.

Lu Ze didn't want to hide Pei Nanwei.

In the temporary mansion arranged by the Zongren Mansion, it is inevitable that there will be eyes from all sides.

Thinking of the 'assassination incident' that occurred outside Xiangfan City in Qingzhou before the King of Shu entered Beijing, the disappeared Princess Jing'an became the key, and at this time it also became the point of attack by those people.

"Heartbreaking!"

"The old minister is really heartbroken!"

"This is contrary to my courtesy, I am not the small family that has not opened the wisdom of the people, if I can..."

Above the court, it seems that only the old minister's heart-wrenching cry is left.

Speaking of the head of the official, Lord Shoufu just stood in place with his eyebrows lowered, looking drowsy, today's scene, many people know that the root comes from the side of the old minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, as the old lady Sun Xiji whispered and hoped that His Majesty would investigate the matter thoroughly, followed by many people gritting their teeth and standing up.

The corners of the Emperor's mouth on the jade step dragon chair raised, and Zhao Chun finally spoke: "King Shu, what do you have to say?" ”

Lu Ze quickly stood out of the queue, his voice was loud: "Erchen has nothing to say, because this is all nonsense!" ”

Lu Ze then looked at the courtiers who stood up, and finally looked at Chen Xiaoru who was snot and tears, and snorted coldly: "Princess Jing'an is the nominal aunt of this king, could it be that this king dares to tie her up to this Tai'an City?" I'm afraid Lord Chen is not joking, right? Could it be that you have fainted into this palace and seen the princess and aunt with your own eyes? ”

Chen Xiaoru's face changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Lu Ze, saying something in his mouth.

Lu Ze no longer paid attention to him, and bowed directly to the emperor Lao Tzu on the dragon chair: "Since Lord Chen and the old lady are suspicious of the sons, then I will ask my father and the emperor to send a decree to the Jing'an palace in Xiangfan City, and ask the Jing'an prince about it." ”

The old lady Sun Xiji's face changed slightly: "Shouldn't you go to the palace of His Royal Highness the King of Shu..."

Lu Ze sneered all over his face: "Is it possible that the old lady is not even very good at using her brain?" Since this happened, don't you ask the king's uncle, where did he come from to search my house? ”

This matter quickly spread in Tai'an City.

It's just that most of them think that this matter is nonsense, as Lu Ze said, how could His Royal Highness the Quasi-Prince, who is about to enter the East Palace, go so rebellious to such a point?

As the news came from Xiangfan City, the people nodded one after another.

"This is a false accusation!"

Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an, wrote a handwritten letter with great grief, saying that the princess went out of the city to enjoy the reeds on the sun and happened to meet the thief who went up to assassinate the king of Shu, and had died in the reeds.

"My father is grief-stricken and unable to control himself, and his soul has returned to the Nine Heavens!"

.......

Inside the house, Pei Nanwei, who looked like a maid, was looking at Lu Ze with a frightened face.

This glamorous princess only now knows that she has become a widow, but she definitely doesn't believe that Zhao Heng died because of herself, and the Spring and Autumn Bed Armor looked at the man in front of her with a complicated face: "You... Do you know something? ”

Lu Zebai yawned boredly: "My Uncle Wang is indeed ruthless enough, knowing that if he offends me, a nephew who will be revenged, he will also wait for the end of being liquidated in the future, it is better to sell it this time, Zhao Xun's crying in the Zongren Mansion successfully won him a hereditary replacement, is it worth it for his aunt?" ”

Pei Nanwei's eyes were full of confusion at the moment.

Lu Ze's face was pitying.
