Yandu, Yangque Palace, the main hall.

All the officials retreated, leaving only the Son of Heaven, Empress Lü, Ning Lu, and Lü Dingguo, who stood tall in the center of the main hall.

Emperor Jing Wu Wenhui still has a childish appearance, and the innate rebelliousness brought to him by the blood of the Son of Heaven has gradually revealed on his immature face.

Emperor Jing supported his head on the dragon chair with one hand, and rubbed the pure gold dragon head on the armrest with the other hand, as if casually asked:

"Xian Yonghou is in Xia Tang this year, can you be okay?"

Lu Dingguo bowed down and said:

"Thanks to the Holy Lord's concern, all is well."

A trace of coldness flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes, and he immediately returned to normal, but he still didn't look directly at Lu Dingguo, tilted his head and continued:

"I heard that Marquis Lu has taken over the military power of the three counties of Xiatang, Beiliang and Fushi, what's the matter? Is my Dahao going to fight again? ”

Lu Dingguo's expression changed slightly when he heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped involuntarily, he stabilized his mind, and was about to respond, but the Queen Mother Lu Zhao behind the bead curtain suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, the rebellion of Dahao was at the beginning of the peace, but the people's hearts were unstable, there were many people with differences, and the anti-king Yu was especially dirty, and he was eyeing the three counties, and let Dingguo temporarily take over the military affairs of the three counties, which is the meaning of mourning."

Emperor Jing sat up straight, his face was dignified, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to argue with Empress Lu.

Ning Lu, the great eunuch on the side, quietly glanced at Emperor Jing, and secretly made a sinking gesture with one hand.

When Emperor Jing saw it, he immediately leaned back on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice:

"It's the meaning of the queen mother, it's the son's carelessness, there is the first Yonghou Kuang to help the society, it is really my great luck."

Lu Dingguo's face was cloudy, he naturally saw Ning Lu's small movements, but he didn't expect that Emperor Jing had reached the point where he could be swayed by a single look.

But after all, Emperor Jing is young and vigorous, and he is not good at hiding his edge, and anyone can hear the ridicule and praise in those words, and Ning Lu also frowned slightly on the side.

After a moment of silence, Lu Dingguo spoke again:

"The saint has won the award, and protecting the rivers and mountains is a matter within the minister's share."

"If all the ministers are like the first brave marquis, why worry about the world is unstable, why worry about the injustice of the world. Queen mother...... I can worry less about it. ”

Emperor Jing's words were picked up quickly, as if he had already thought of it, or someone else had thought of it for him, and the young man's face showed a little smugness, and he even deliberately glanced at Empress Lu.

Lu Hou was still calm, and without waiting for Lu Dingguo to speak, he preemptively said:

"What can the mourning family worry about, this world has always been His Majesty's world, the mourning family has been trained by the previous emperor and assisted by the side, but after all, it is a female generation, and the future of Dahao still needs to be considered by His Majesty."

Emperor Jing was speechless and glanced at Ning Lu who was standing beside him, but Ning Lu's old eyes were slightly closed and he remained silent.

Emperor Jing said stupidly:

"The queen mother's words are serious, now that the political situation in Dahao has stabilized, everything in the DPRK and China still depends on the queen mother."

Empress Lu nodded with satisfaction, and said to Lu Dingguo:

"Dingguo, you too, although you are in the Tang Dynasty, but as a Shangzhu country, you must not be in a corner of peace, you must care about the court, and work with the ministers to assist Your Majesty, not be a lonely minister in the frontier."

Lu Dingguo bowed and said:

"The minister respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother."

This dialogue between the monarchs and ministers in the main hall of Yangque Palace should have ended here, and it should have been the best ending if it was not broken.

However, Ning Lu, who had not said a word, suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, and a cold cold light shot out of his originally cloudy eyes.

He took a step, walked quickly down the royal platform, knelt down with a thud, and said almost with a cry:

"What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, the old slave and the Marquis of Xianyong were entrusted by the first emperor to assist Your Majesty, and they have been the same day and night for 14 years, working hard just for Your Majesty to succeed the great ambition of the first emperor as soon as possible."

Ning Lu's words seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know why, Lu Hou and Lu Dingguo didn't know what he wanted to say, so they could only not respond, waiting for the old eunuch to continue.

"The Empress Dowager asked Lu Hou not to be a lonely minister, and the old slave also wanted to be angry with Lu Hou, a few days ago, Mrs. Lu Hou had a birthday, and specially sent her son Tian Bao'er to congratulate his wife on her birthday, but I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, Ning Lu actually snorted and cried, crying on top of this golden palace.

Seeing this, Emperor Jing turned his gaze to Lu Dingguo and asked:

"Marquis Xianyong, can there be such a thing?"

Lu Dingguo suddenly felt a little funny, Ning Lu's old eunuch had obviously not had time to say what happened to Tian Bao'er, and Emperor Jing had already rushed to question, obviously planned it in advance.

He knew that the old eunuch was playing on the topic, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do when he threw this matter out at this time, so he had to answer in a deep voice:

"Back to the saint, Gonggong Tian did die in the Tang Dynasty, but he died violently on the way back, and when he was in the minister's mansion, Gonggong Tian was no different, and it was verified by Dan County, Xia Tang County, that he should have died of an emergency."

Behind the bead curtain, Empress Lu also said:

"I have also heard of this mourning family, birth, old age, sickness and death, the normal state of people, let's mourn on the Rather Gong Festival."

Ning Lu heard this, but he fell to the ground, and the voice of mourning was even worse, only to hear him continue in a hoarse voice:

"Although Tian Baoer is the adopted son of the old slave, he is deeply affectionate, and even his own father and son, Tian Baoer is in the prime of life, how can the old slave not believe that he will suddenly die of an emergency......"

Lu Houxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, but her tone was still as harmonious as the wind, and she only heard her say:

"Ning Gong's white-haired people send black-haired people, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this, but the mourning family has also seen Tian Bao'er, his body embryo is really fragmented and bloated, I am afraid that he does not know moderation on weekdays, and he hides his illness without knowing it."

Ning Lu's face facing the floor twitched, his eyes showed a fierce light, but he still buried his face deeply, and still said with a crying voice:

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, my righteous son is indeed a good appetite, but he should never die in vain, the old slave heard that Cheng Luzhi of Tang County is incompetent and mediocre, and many people have shown that he is corrupt and perverts the law, and uses power for personal gain, it must be he who instructed the officials of Dan County to settle the case hastily, lest Tian Bao'er's death cause him trouble."

When Emperor Jing heard this, he immediately questioned Lu Dingguo:

"Marquis Xianyong, Xia Tang County belongs to you, this Lu Zhi is the head of a county but he is so mediocre, do you know?"

Lu Dingguo's face was as dark as iron, although he didn't know much about Lu Zhi, but in the three years of the Tang Dynasty, he had never heard of Lu Zhi's corruption and bending the law, which was obviously Ning Lu's intention.

"Although the minister is in the Tang Dynasty, he only governs military affairs, and the government affairs of the county, and the minister rarely asks, but if you want to say that Lu Zhi is corrupt and perverts the law, the minister has not heard of it."

Emperor Jing was just about to speak again, but Empress Lu preemptively said:

"Dingguo, this is your dereliction of duty, only in charge of military affairs, not about government affairs, how can you share your majesty's worries?"

Emperor Jing didn't expect Empress Lu to blame Lu Dingguo, so he was surprised and pushed the boat down:

"Xianyong Hou has heavy military affairs, and it is understandable that he neglected to supervise for a while, but Na Lu Zhi, since many officials have been impeached, he should be immediately dismissed and punished!"

Lu Dingguo hurriedly replied:

"Holy Lord, Lu Zhi's crime should not be concluded so easily, and it should be handed over to the ...... of the Division."

Before Lu Dingguo could finish speaking, Ning Lu, who was kneeling beside him, interrupted:

"Master Hou! There are eight officials who impeached Lu Zhi, according to the law of Dahao, those who are impeached by the imperial history can be punished first! ”

Lu Dingguo was already slightly angry, and he forced his emotions and continued:

"The head of a county, the important minister of the country, should not be so hasty ......"

Hearing only a muffled sound, Emperor Jing slapped his palm heavily on the dragon throne and raised his voice:

"First Yonghou!! Are you talking about my sloppiness?! ”

Lu Dingguo was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw that the Son of Heaven Long Yan was furious, and he knew that he was speechless, and immediately knelt down and said:

"Holy Lord, the minister has no such intention, please forgive the minister for the sin of losing his word."

Emperor Jing looked at the minister who was kneeling at the foot of the imperial stairs, and said coldly:

"Gaffes? Xian Yonghou, is it really a gaffe? Or what you think in your heart......"

"Your Majesty!"

Empress Lu, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted Emperor Jing:

"The heart of the brave marquis can be learned from heaven and earth, and it is no wonder that he is brave and worried. Since His Majesty intends to cure Lu Zhi's crime, he must have made a decision, so it is better to make it clear. ”

The young emperor's face could not hide the smug look on his face again, he stood up from the dragon seat, and said aloud in his still childish voice:

"On the same day, I will remove Lu Zhi from the post of Tang County Guard, and order the Ministry of Rites to wish Tiankui a temporary successor."

I wish Tiankui!

Isn't this another of Ning Lu's righteous sons!

The ambition of this old gelding thief and wolf son is obvious!

Lu Dingguo just wanted to argue, but he heard Lu Hou say:

"As Your Majesty said, escort Lu Zhi back to Yandu to await trial, and the rest of the officials will do it."

……

The next day, in the New Year's Palace, Lu Dingguo bid farewell to Queen Lu.

Before leaving, the two looked at Qichen Mountain from afar in front of the door.

"Second sister, the shortage of charcoal tribute will be sent today, you have lung disease, don't get cold."

Hearing this, Empress Lu smiled and said:

"Don't worry about these little things, the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor is excellent, and the second sister is fine."

Lu Dingguo shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"It's not a good thing to wish Tiankui to the next Tang Dynasty......"

"Snakes and insects are small, and they can't make any waves."

"......"

"Dingguo, I am also helpless, if I don't allow it, today's recital will fly like snowflakes in the winter moon."

Lu Dingguo clenched his fists and said indignantly:

"Playing books? Killing Tian Bao'er can lead to a hundred officials playing in unison, why is there no one who participates in him and Ning Lu hired a murderer to rob and kill Beilu Proton in the Lower Tang Dynasty, and he still intends to frame me?! ”

"You have no evidence for this matter, even if you let the Sea Shark Gang admit and recruit it, Ning Lu still has a hundred or a thousand kinds of arguments to deny."

Lu Dingguo angrily punched the air in front of him, and his anger turned into surging true qi and exploded in his hand, and an old locust ten steps away fell in response.

"Yesterday in the court, I should have confronted him face to face!"

Empress Lu looked at the scattered branches and leaves in the courtyard and shook her head:

"It's useless, how can he recognize his thick-skinned old face, not to mention that now His Majesty is clearly supporting him, and he is even more fearless."

Lu Dingguo was speechless, just clenched the roots of his teeth tightly, making a strange "crunch" sound.

Empress Lu just patted him lightly on the shoulder and sighed:

"Go back, remember to greet Shaoqing on my behalf, this stinky boy, I don't know if I came to see my aunt for three years."

"That stinky boy...... It's not a thing......"
