Chapter 6: I let him be the lonely minister
"Where is General Pei?"
After Luo Congee left, Zhu Ming's eyes fell on the commander of the forbidden army outside the door and summoned him, after all, he still helped clean up some of this mess.
"The minister is here!"
Pei Xingwu stepped into the hall after unloading his sword, and the fish scales and armor pieces on his body collided with the sound of gold and iron resonating while walking, and he knelt on the ground and saluted stubbornly because he was inconvenient to wear armor.
"I order you to immediately go to the camp in Beijing with the tiger talisman, let those guards and horses be stationed outside the city, and enter the city at any time if there is any change, and be sure to ensure that there is no ......chaos in Beijing."
"Minister, take the order!"
After Pei Xingwu received the order to leave,
The court argued again.
"I'm a little tired......"
Zhu Ming looked at the ministers below who were distracted or fell into the well to criticize their political enemies because of this chaos, and sighed, with an indescribable boredom in his chest.
"Wait, retire!"
When the ministers retreated uneasily, and only Li Zhijie, the remaining minister of the former emperor, was left in the huge palace, Zhu Ming took off all the disguised emotions.
"Dead...... Heh......"
"Died so easily?"
Zhu Ming turned his head to look at the empty seat behind the bead curtain, and his expression was a little dazed, and the whole person seemed to be completely paralyzed onto the dragon chair as if his vertebrae had been pulled out.
"Absurd, absurd, absurd!!"
"I have endured it for more than ten years......"
"And she died like this?"
After a while, Zhu Ming's expression gradually became crazy, and he got up and tore off the bead curtain, even if he was cut through the flesh by a thin line, he didn't know it.
After a long time, Zhu Ming calmed down, but the scene of the young man resolutely swinging the knife is still vivid.
"It is a great blessing for me that woman was killed in the court, but after all, she was the queen mother of the court, and she died so rashly, so how should this foreign race, the court officials, and the people of the world look at me?"
"How should I deal with myself?"
Zhu Ming smiled bitterly and said loudly.
"The minister knows what His Majesty means, only if Commander Luo dies, can he block the mouth of the world and make the court ......"
"But it's come to this, why don't you do it the other way!"
"What does Uncle Li mean?"
Zhu Ming's glasses narrowed slightly.
"Give him the authority of the Luo family far superior to the Jinyi guards of the previous dynasty, and let him use this quick knife to sweep away all the troubles on the way to power for His Majesty in the shortest possible time."
Li Zhijie said coldly.
"Is it far better than the authority of the former Jinyi pro-army?"
Zhu Ming was subconsciously stunned when he thought of the years when the brocade clothes were rampant, this move was no less than letting the colorful tiger out of the cage, and giving it a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"I'm just afraid, the tiger eats people, and eventually eats the master."
Zhu Ming said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, according to the temperament of this kid surnamed Luo, whether it is a noble or a courtier, as long as he stands in the way, he will be killed mercilessly, but if he kills too much, he will be the enemy of the whole world, and there is absolutely no other place in this world!"
Li Zhijie gritted his teeth ruthlessly and said, someone has to do some things, but that person can't be himself.
"As for the devourer, it's nonsense......"
"All his power comes from His Majesty!"
"He can only be attached to His Majesty!"
"The so-called, lonely minister, nothing more than that."
Li Zhijie waved his sleeves and said categorically.
"In addition, the old minister also has this account in his heart."
"What this kid of the Luo family has done, one by one, the old ministers will write it down for him one by one, and when there is no more queen party in the court, it will be the time to break this quick knife."
"When the time comes, whether it is crushing bones and scattering ashes, or raiding the family and exterminating the family, it will be in the mind of His Majesty."
After that, Li Zhixiu looked at Zhu Ming with a burning light, the latter was stroking his forehead and pondering, his heart was like a war between heaven and man, and the scene of being bullied by the poisonous woman lingered in his mind, and now that the poisonous woman was dead, it was time to reckoning.
"So ......"
"I'll let him be that lonely minister!"
Zhu Ming suddenly got up and waved his sleeves.
"So, the court is clear."
"But how to solve the border crisis?"
Zhu Ming asked again.
"Lao Chen remembers that General Xu is now at home, but if this person is in charge, he will be able to turn the tide!"
"The old general Xu Wenda rarely won in his life, so he was not famous in the imperial court, but who knows that the old general has never tasted defeat in his life."
"If Your Majesty is really determined to fight to the end, according to General Xu's steady temperament and the danger of the city pass, the other party's more than 100,000 iron horsemen may not be able to enter the pass."
"As long as it can hold out for a few months, the barbarians will retreat!"
Li Zhijie said categorically.
"What Li Gong said is very ......"
"I, I'm going to do it now!"
Zhu Ming looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, and his heart settled down inexplicably, it was naturally safe enough to be an official and retreat from the hands of the poisonous woman.
……
In front of the Locke Mansion,
When Luo Congee came back, he was still a freshly dressed angry horse, but the flying fish suit made of good Yunjin had a few more blood stains on it that couldn't be washed, and there were thousands of red-clothed and black-armored forbidden soldiers behind him.
"Lord Luo, please pay respects with peace of mind."
After the leader of the general arched his hand at Luo Congee, he raised his hand, and the forbidden army, which was originally divided into two columns, was on duty outside the mansion in an orderly manner.
The soldiers armed with crossbows were distributed to the window position on the second floor of the street, and many of them were scattered around the mansion.
Outside the long street, there are more eyes and ears of various families who are secretly inquiring about the news of Luofu, among which there are many dead soldiers and doormen who are raised by various houses.
The entire Shangjing City is full of rumors, grass and trees, and this turmoil is sweeping the entire Gyeonggi land and even the world at a very fast speed.
"Lord Luo, please rest assured."
"Before the news from the palace came, Xia Guan would naturally guarantee the safety of your mansion."
The young general led by the leader frowned as he looked at the peddlers and pawns on the long street.
As soon as the words fell,
An eagle chirp suddenly sounded in the sky,
"It's okay, it's just a small person......"
Luo Congee looked up at the big eagle on the clouds and chuckled.
There are lonely predecessors here, and I think that in addition to the imperial court using a large army to clean up, no one in this city can threaten his own safety.
……
"Uncle Zhou, what does this mean?"
As soon as Luo Congee pushed the door in, he saw that there was already an extra coffin in front of the mourning hall, and he looked at the old Zhou Bo who was carefully wiping it, and there was an old horse and a set of armor full of sword marks tied to him.
"Young Master, are you still alive?"
Zhou Bo stopped the movement in his hand when he heard the sound, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken, but he was in tears.
Luo Congee got closer and compared the size of the coffin, which just matched his figure, and was a little crying and laughing for a while.
"Uncle Zhou, the kid is still panting."
Luo Congee smiled bitterly.
"I just think that if something happens to the young master......"
"The old slave has to collect the body of the young master even if he dies."
Zhou Bo muttered to himself.
"Uncle Zhou has a heart, let's put the coffin away first."
Luo Congee patted the coffin cover.
The latter is not to be followed.
In front of the mourning hall,
Luo Congee silently lifted the half-jar of osmanthus brewed next to Luo Wu's coffin, and lifted the red cloth on the seal, and the aroma of the wine was already a little faint.
"The young master is tired from a day's work, let's go and rest for a while."
After Zhou Bo placed the coffin, he walked behind Luo Congee, and looking at the blood stains on his body, he could also think of how dangerous the situation of the early dynasty was.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry."
"The heads of the worshippers have not yet arrived."
Luo Congee said casually, the latter was stunned when he heard the sound, and he didn't ask much, but silently added firewood to the basin.
At the end of the unitary time,
A rustic carriage stopped steadily outside the gate of Luo's Mansion, and under the gaze of countless well-intentioned people, Gonggong Cao stepped inside holding two rolls of brocade.
"Lord Luo, take the order."
"Your Majesty is going to be entrusted with a heavy task this time!"
Gonggong Cao said in a low voice,
"Minister, take the order!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says!"
"Jin Yiwei calmed Luo Congee...... The leaders of the brocade clothes and guards are all in command of the envoys, the post of commander, the three official products, and another thousand taels of gold, a python robe, Qin this! ”
"Lord Luo, don't be impatient, there is also a holy decree."
"Order the Jinyi Guard's pro-army to command the envoy to command Luo Congee, and thoroughly investigate the case of Concubine Hui's accidental death and the case of Commander Luo's bizarre death."
"Anyone involved in the case may be imprisoned, regardless of their official position or dignity...... In the event of resistance, everything involved in the case can be decided for the future......"
After finishing reading, Gonggong Cao handed out the tray on the side, and a black embroidered gold python robe was lying quietly on it.
"Gonggong Cao, before leaving the palace, the official asked you to bring something, I guess it didn't fall behind, right?"
Luo Congee continued after receiving the order.
"Lord Luo......"
Gonggong Cao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally returned to the carriage, and when he came down, there was an extra wooden box in his hand, and he could smell a choking smell of blood when he got a little closer.
"Lord Luo is only afraid that this move ......"
Gonggong Cao let out a long sigh after handing over the wooden box.
"I think Master Li also knows about this matter, after all, His Majesty is too indecisive and always takes too much care into doing things."
"As a courtier, I should share my worries for the king, this official must give His Majesty a few reasons to kill me in the future, right?"
Luo Congee pushed open the wooden box, shook off the white cloth, and a bloody head rolled out, the facial features of the head were destroyed and the identity could not be seen, but the knife marks on the neck were indeed extremely familiar.
