On the day of Lu Li's holiday, early in the morning, Lu Zhengming went out in a hurry.

Since Renzong died, but learned that it was Prince Yichuan who succeeded to the throne, Lu Zhengming had an inexplicable grief and indignation in his heart, followed by the Jin King Lifu, and he, the envoy of the prince's teacher, was naturally deprived by the Queen Mother, and because although he had never been respected by the King of Jin, a student, but for many years, he ignored the envelopment of Wei, Xie and others, and never showed sincerity to the Queen Mother Zhihongwenguan school library books, so since then it has become a "loafer", and was even hinted by the chief: "If there is no special need, Lu Gong does not need to come to work every day." ”

Therefore, although he did not rest on this day, he did not have to respond.

Although Lu Zhengming knew that he did not "use" the importance of the Queen Mother's secret agent at all, but today was the first time to go to the palace that the King of Jin placed in Pingkangfang, and his actions were very cautious.

As soon as Lu Zhengming entered the shop, he was led to the elegant room by the shopkeeper, changed into clothes, and sat in an inconspicuous small carriage in the backyard, until Pingkangfang drove directly into the Jin King Garden.

He Ye was not in the other garden today, but of course he had an order, so after Lu Zhengming got out of the car, he saw a strong man with a big shoulder and a round waist but humbly hugged and greeted him without saying a word.

There was already a maid in Tsing Yi waiting in the pavilion, fifteen or sixteen years old, and she didn't talk much when she saw the ceremony, but she was busy making tea and entertaining guests, Lu Zhengming knew that she was well versed in tea art when she looked at her gestures, but she didn't arouse the interest of others, waved her hand and motioned for the maid to retreat, and did it herself.

After tasting a fragrant tea, Lu Zhengming half-closed his eyes and couldn't help but fall into memories.

The first emperor had already hinted that he wanted to make the king of Jin the crown prince, so Yin Yin asked him not to let go because of the stubborn and playful king of Jin, but how could the king of Jin be just stubborn and playful? Although Lu Zhengming was disheartened by this unusual student, but when he knew that the first emperor died and the successor was not the king of Jin, he also expected that there would be a trick in it, and it was even very likely that the queen mother had made a false announcement in order to listen to the government, but all the officials and nobles had no objections, and he was unable to return to heaven alone, in fact, even if the queen mother did not intend to be estranged, Lu Zhengming also planned to take the crown and resign.

He never expected that the King of Jin would come to see him at night, and the eaves walked on the wall and appeared quietly on the side of his couch.

Although this way is sneaky and rude, but the next actions of the arrogant, arrogant and tyrannical King Jin are the same as the two of them, hugging courtesy, calling him "sir", and his face is full of solemnity, and he will never see Hanger Langdang again, at that moment, Lu Zhengming's heart was frightened, and a certain crucial node seemed to have been comprehended by him.

Listening to this extremely familiar but seemingly strange young prince, he memorized the scriptures and history he had taught over the years, and was not in a hurry to give orders straight to the point, but looked at him very sincerely.

So he helped the kneeling boy up, and changed his previous disdainful attitude: "This is not in a hurry. ”

King Jin insisted on kneeling, and even bowed: "Ye is in danger, and he is also forced to be helpless, he has been disrespectful to Mr. in the past, and many light deeds are really faults, and I hope Mr. will forgive." ”

Extremely sincere kowtow, Lu Zhengming had no choice but to accept it.

Then he understood Qingming, how difficult and dangerous the student's situation was, and how the turmoil that had just passed was how he died in his life, the King of Jin was open and honest without concealment, and he trusted him so much that the teacher's personality and morality had made Lu Zhengming burst into tears, and he sighed for a long time: "Although the old minister knows the situation of the king, and also knows the king's intentions, he is weak and weak, and he is only afraid of disappointing the expectations of the emperor and the king." ”

"The student understands that the teacher has retreated, but the student really can't ignore his brother's dying will, so he begs the gentleman to forbear, and the student is only shallow in learning, if there is no mentorship from the teacher, how can he achieve his brother's hope in the future?"

Lu Zhengming barely hesitated, and he immediately agreed to King Jin's plea.

He has no intention of being powerful or rich, but he has a heart of loyalty to the monarchy, and he feels remorse and suffering when he has the order of Renzong, and he does not want to suddenly realize that King Jin is not as useless as it seems, and a seed of hope sprouts instantly, as if he was reborn after death.

And this year, King Jin's many surprising performances made Lu Zhengming more confident, at this time, Lu Zhengming, like an indomitable warrior, knowing that the future is unpredictable, maybe tomorrow will be like the abyss, but even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire, he will not retreat.

When King Jin consulted, he asked "whether Xu Guogong is credible", and Lu Zhengming of course beat his chest to protect it: "The reason why Xu Guogong faded out of the court back then, on the one hand, was because Emperor Dezong was too close to the Cui family, and the weight of his relatives would inevitably cause many hidden dangers; On the other hand, it was also because there were loyal ministers such as Pei Gong back then, Xu Guogong thought that even if he retired, the affairs of the monarchy would not be misled by traitors, and later Xiao Cui's father and brother ......"

Thinking that Cui Mu was the grandfather of King Jin after all, Lu Zhengming hesitated slightly.

King Jin immediately comforted: "Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Cui Mu's father and son are indeed ill-intentioned and intend to seek power, Xu Guogong is deeply worried, so he ...... In fact, Emperor Renzong was the prince, and there were also Xu Guogong's secret persuasions. ”

"What does Mr. mean, Xu Guogong is indeed loyal?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I believe that Mr. has insight, yes, there is a weight, and I need to ask Mr.

This is the task of Lu Zhengming who is willing to take the risk to sneak into the Jin King's Villa today, he wants to persuade Xu Guogong, who has been Taoguang for a long time, to get involved in the treacherous and unpredictable again and help the King of Jin.

So the wait at this time was extremely long for Lu Zhengming, he didn't even know if things were really as smooth as King Jin and Xue Luli formulated, maybe Ruan Ling didn't get the plan, maybe Cui Tianbai agreed to what Xuan Zhi wanted, but Xu Guogong didn't understand the deep meaning, and he wouldn't easily agree to Ruan Ling's pestering, so he wouldn't come here today.

But when he was worried, Lu Zhengming had already heard a puzzled greeting: "Zhengming? ”

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that under the bright sun, the old man with white temples was four or five steps away from the pavilion.

Although Xu Guogong likes Xue Zhao's intelligence and diligence, and does not hesitate to give personal advice, but for Lu Li, who is now a close confidant of the Queen Mother, he has always deliberately distanced himself, but he also knows that the eldest grandson Tianbai is actually on good terms with Lu Li, this time even though there are many troubles with Ruan Ling, the only son of Jin'an, Tianbai has already informed Lu Li that everything is instructed by Lu Li, the purpose is to achieve his own reasonable and reasonable walk through this garden, but because Tianbai does not know the detailed reason, Xu Guogong really did not expect that he would be introduced into a secret passage, I didn't know that I led to this flower garden through the secret passage, and I saw that although he was an old friend, Lu Zhengming, who had long been deliberately alienated by him, was actually sitting in this mysterious place.

It has been a long time, Xu Guogong naturally knows that behind this big waste and twists, there must be an unpredictable and dangerous reason, but before he met Lu Zhengming, he really believed in the Xue family, although he has never expressed enthusiasm for this in-law over the years, but it does not mean that he is dissatisfied, so after listening to the eldest grandson in the clouds, Xu Guogong analyzed it, and felt that it would not cause the Queen Mother to be suspicious, and he came to this inexplicable secret appointment without much hesitation, and when he saw Lu Zhengming, he was naturally more at ease.

Since the two are close friends, they take care of each other with all sincerity, which will not change because they have not changed for many years due to the current situation.

At least Xu Guogong has concluded that although this matter is dangerous, it will not violate the right path.

This is the bottom line that he has always insisted on, although it is extremely stupid in the eyes of some.

But when Xu Guogong listened carefully to his friend's narration, he still had a trace of doubt and uncertainty: "King Jin? ”

Lu Zhengming bowed his head.

"Don't hide it from Duke Cui, although when Emperor Renzong was alive, there was a hint that the king of Jin would be the crown prince, but Yu really didn't believe that the king of Jin could take on this important task, so he also persuaded Emperor Renzong to change his holy will, but until Emperor Renzong died, he still did not change his original intention...... When he learned that it was the young emperor who succeeded to the throne, he felt ashamed of the trust of Renzong and was disheartened, he thought about Zhishi, and even ...... I even thought about going with Renzong and seeking peace with death. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhengming sighed: "My two sons were born stupid, only one grandson is still smart, but the grandson is weak, I really can't let go of my ......"

Of course, Xu Guogong knew that Lu Zhengming's two sons were not only stupid, but also didn't know why, they were born with dementia, so although Xu Guogong was extremely appreciative of Lu Zhengming at the beginning, he never thought about marriage, Lu Zhengming's daughters-in-law are all peasant girls, although the children born are not demented, but no matter how hard Lu Zhengming cares, the two grandsons are over ten years old, and they are not yet more than 100 literate, only one grandson born to a maid, now seven or eight years old, can finally recite a thousand words, this is almost Lu Zhengming's only hope.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die alone." Lu Zhengming laughed at himself: "Don't hide it from Cui Gong, I have put my neck in the suspension several times, and I can't be ruthless...... I thought that if Zhishi returned to his hometown, if he could teach the talented poor children, he would make up for the debt a little, but I really didn't expect that the King of Jin would ......"

When Lu Zhengming recounted the dying time of Renzong, the risk in the Daming Palace was not widely known, and his expression was even more solemn: "Although this is not what I have heard and witnessed, I can trust Xuanzhi's oral statement, and there is no doubt that it was made up by the King of Jin, and the Empress Dowager Wei persecuted the first emperor with the life of the King of Jin, how is her behavior different from plotting rebellion and usurping power?" King Jin is the first emperor's heart of the prince, and the king is indeed not as violent and immoral as I misunderstood, I see this line of hope, even if the liver and brain are ruined, I must try my best to assist the king to set things right, so as to live up to the first emperor's entrustment, I believe in Cui Gong, and I will not see the imperial power fall into the hands of the treacherous petty! ”
