As soon as Lu Jiuyuan returned to the Lu Guo Mansion, Old Madam Lu greeted him, "How are things?" ”

Facing his mother's haggard face, Lu Jiuyuan felt guilty in his heart, and stretched out his hand to support her, "The matter is solved, the emperor is gracious, and the eldest brother is spared from death, although there is no need to be exiled to the bitter cold land again, but from now on, without the permission of the emperor, all of them will never be allowed to set foot in the capital again." ”

"If only I could spare my life." The old lady nodded frequently, completely relieved.

Tao Yao looked at Lu Jiuyuan's calm face, and couldn't help asking, "The emperor can't change his mind so easily, right?" Did you promise the emperor anything? ”

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he glanced at her and motioned her not to say more.

Tao Yao glanced at the old lady and closed her mouth.

But the old lady is not stupid, and after thinking about it a little, she also knows that Lao Jiu must have paid a heavy price.

At the moment, he asked anxiously: "The emperor is embarrassed by you?" ”

"It's nothing, mother, don't think about it, you haven't rested well in the past few days, hurry back and rest." Lu Jiuyuan said and instructed Mama Lan, "Help my mother go back." ”

"Yes." Mama Lan responded and persuaded the old lady, "The old lady should go back and rest first, if there is anything, it will not be too late later." ”

The old lady had no choice but to leave.

As soon as she left, Lu Jiuyuan took Tao Yao's shoulder and went to the Star Picking Hall.

There was no one else here, so Tao Yao couldn't help but ask, "What price did you pay?" ”

"Talisman." Lu Jiuyuan's thin lips slowly spit out these two words, and his tone was light and light.

Tao Yao was shocked.

It turned out to be a rune soldier!

For a general, without the talisman, it is more uncomfortable than killing them.

Lu Jiuyuan has paid so much for this country, and he can have it today from the sea of corpses and blood, and now that the military talisman is handed in, it means that he will have to unload all military affairs from now on, and he can no longer participate in military affairs.

Although he behaved calmly, she knew that he was actually very uncomfortable in his heart.

But at the end of the day, things will turn out to this point, and she can't escape the blame.

"I'm sorry." She hung her head guiltily.

Lu Jiuyuan was puzzled: "What are you sorry for?" ”

Tao Yao's eyes flashed, "If I hadn't left Wanwan and them to drink that day, what would have happened to the rest of the world, and you wouldn't have to hand over the military power in order to make up for your mother." ”

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and said with a smile: "This matter, without you, will still happen, do you hate me when Lu Qingbai does?" He's been hating me, and if there's nothing about Wanrun, he'll tell him to get the hang of us sooner or later.

As for the talisman, the emperor had already had the heart to take it back.

Now the world is peaceful, the Huns have been recuperating all these years, and they have no strength to fight again, and the emperor sees that the border is too peaceful, and he can't use me at all, so he naturally wants to take back the talismans.

Without this matter, sooner or later, the emperor will find a reason and ask me to hand over the military talisman.

I think it's good now, I'm relaxed, and I will have more time to spend with you and Zhen'er in the future. ”

"Really?" Tao Yao looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course it's true. And I've been tired for so many years, and I'm tired, and I'm happy to be able to retire. Lu Jiuyuan shook her shoulder and said with a smile.

When Tao Yao heard this, he was relieved a lot, "It's really like what you said, it's fine." ”

"Well, so you don't have to blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you, it will happen sooner or later." Lu Jiuyuan said softly.

After a while, Qi Yan and Guo Dafu came.

After Lu Jiuyuan asked Tao Yao to send him back to the courtyard, he invited Qi Yan and Mrs. Guo into the study.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Qi Yan couldn't hold back and took the lead in asking, "Why did Guogong suddenly hand over the talisman?" ”

Mrs. Guo didn't speak, but she also had doubts.

"The emperor has long wanted to take back the talisman, this time, I want to save my brother's life, so I took the talisman to change." Lu Jiuyuan said indifferently.

"Lu Boyan doesn't treat you very well, the price you paid this time is too great." Mrs. Guo sighed and said.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said softly: "The matter has come to this, the teacher and the prince are relaxed, I have no military talismans, and it won't affect the prince or anything, the prince has no opponent now, but the emperor is in strong health, and the prince must be patient." ”

Qi Yan frowned, "I don't think about myself, it's just that some of them are not worth it." Guogong has done so much for the court and the people, but in the end, his father ......"

"The emperor has his own considerations, the prince doesn't have to be upset with the minister, besides, the minister is also a little tired at the moment, just take advantage of this time to take his wife and children out for a walk, it's also good." Lu Jiuyuan interrupted him.

Guo Dafu sighed, "The matter has come to this, and it can only be like this, Jiuyuan will take advantage of this time to cultivate himself, I am still young, and the prince will ascend to the throne in the future, and I still need your advice." ”

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "It's enough for the prince to have a teacher by his side, and I can't help the prince anymore." ”

"Guogong must not say that, you have the grace of regenerating parents to me, if there is no Guogong, there will be no me now, Guogong has now unloaded military affairs, it doesn't matter, as Taifu said, Guogong This time, first rest well, other days, I will definitely hand over the military talisman again and hand it over to Guogong." Qi Yan said solemnly.

Lu Jiuyuan said: "Thank you for the prince's trust in the minister, but the soldier is a soldier, and the capable live in it, the prince must not treat the talented person lightly because of me." The minister's age is not small, and by that time, there will be no place to help the prince. ”

When Qi Yan heard this, his brows frowned, but he didn't persuade him more, he would remember it in his heart.

The three chatted for a while, and Qi Yan and Mrs. Guo got up to say goodbye.

After Lu Jiuyuan sent them out, he returned to the study, looked at every military book displayed on the shelf, and finally, sighed.

In the evening, Tao Yao personally cooked and cooked a table of good dishes for Lu Jiuyuan.

When Lu Jiuyuan came over, he saw a table of dishes, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "Isn't it too much, how can the two of us finish eating?" ”

Tao Yao was about to say something, when Lu Hao suddenly ran in like a gust of wind, "I can't finish eating, and I, I can finish eating." ”

Tao Yao: "......"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Why are you here?" ”

"I miss Zhen'er, come to see him, I didn't expect to smell the aroma of food as soon as I arrived outside the door, I was so blessed." Lu Hao looked at the table full of dishes and snorted.

Tao Yao said helplessly: "Then go and clean your hands." ”

Lu Hao nodded and went busily.

Lu Jiuyuan then also went to clean his hands.

When he returned, he took his son from the nurse's hand and sat down at the table.

Lu Hao immediately came over and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, do you want me?" ”

Zhen'er immediately grinned, as if she was thinking.

Lu Hao was so happy that he was about to lean over and kiss his face, but Lu Jiuyuan was pressed against his head, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Hao, no!" ”

Lu Hao said stupidly: "Why not? Aunt Jiu is also often so close to Zhen'er's face. ”
