Chapter Forty-Four: Brother Yu, Changed to Divine Machine
At this time, Yin Lin Qi of Shuntian Mansion put the prison in order.
There were too many things that happened yesterday, first the child who sued the emperor was put in prison, then the cell boss colluded with Qiu Rong to kill the child, and then Lu Shiyu came to save people.
Until the prince complained, His Majesty was furious and put Shou Ninghou and Qiu Rong in prison.
The piles and piles were all related to his Shuntianfu prison, but not only did he not help in the whole process, but also played a dishonorable role because of the cell leader.
Lin Qi was also a little aggrieved, as soon as he came back, he heard that Lu Shiyu broke into the prison to save people, and turned the prison upside down.
In a fit of anger, he went to the emperor to complain, who admitted that the traitor was actually his own subordinate, and the emperor was scolded by Emperor Hongzhi for not being strict, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep at night.
This morning, Lin Qi heard that Lu Shiyu had annoyed Mrs. Li, and the scholar led a group of new scholars to complain, and she was happy, but she didn't expect it to be the end of turning evil into good fortune.
Lord Fu Yin was so angry that he couldn't eat lunch.
……
The emperor was unwell, and the noon dynasty was gone, so several courtiers met outside the noon gate.
"In recent days, the biggest controversy between the DPRK and China is probably Lu Yun and Lu Shi, right? I don't know what my colleagues think of Lu Shiyu? The servant of the ministry brought up the topic.
An official under the household ministry touched his chin: "I haven't been contacted, so I don't dare to evaluate." ”
"Lord Yi is too careful, right?" The person next to him immediately smiled: "Not to mention, this Lu waiter always has a good heart to ask for the people's life, otherwise he would not have risked himself and broke into the Shuntianfu prison to save people." ”
"Lin thinks otherwise." Lin Qi retorted and sneered:
In the prayer, Lu Shiyu took the lead in leaving the scene and said goodbye without saying goodbye, which shows that this person is unruly.
If there is an accident in prison, he does not consult with the government officials, and acts without authorization, which only completes his reputation and ignores the responsibilities of others, which shows that he is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation! ”
At this time, the people of the capital had already spread the news.
"Hugging his wife and asking for medicine, looking for Sijiu City all night, this Lu waiter is really an infatuated lover!"
The people are no better than the officialdom, and the people on the streets and alleys don't care how quickly anyone is promoted.
They only know that Lu Qi is a good official who takes risks to save a child from a common people's family, even if he becomes the prime minister tomorrow, it should be.
The big girls and little daughters-in-law have long heard of this Mirulang's name, and they have heard that he is so infatuated, and I don't know how many people will sigh tonight.
It just so happens that Lu Qi was originally the darling of storytellers, "with his own traffic". Now there is a new bridge, and the storytellers in the teahouse are gearing up, ready to make up some new stories to gain popularity.
Lu Qi's reputation among the people is getting louder and louder.
……
The lecture in the East Palace has ended, and Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Hongzhi have a heart-to-heart conversation.
The old emperor taught his son unreservedly his experience in governing the country for many years, including how to judge the situation, how to balance forces, and how to be indistinguishable from joy and anger......
The heart of the fist, follow the good temptation, and only hope that his son can take on the responsibility of the king of a country.
Zhu Houzhao's heart swelled when he heard this, and he immediately wanted to do something to prove himself, and when he came back and saw that Wei Cheng was still there, the two of them sat under the porch together to enjoy the shade.
"Your case has made me understand a truth, no one in the world is omnipotent, such as avenging you, you can't do it now." Zhu Houzhao lay in a rocking chair and looked at the sky.
Wei Cheng turned his face to look at him: "There is something that Chitose Lord can't do?" ”
"The people under the world have their own things that they can't do, but some people have more, and some people have less."
Wei Cheng nodded: "I understand, Lord Lu told me that you did your best." ”
Zhu Houzhao sat up and looked at Wei Cheng, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Do you know, I used to have a younger brother, and you looked very similar to him, especially the red mole between the eyebrows. ”
“?”
"If he's still around, he should be as old as you." Zhu Houzhao's eyes were half-closed lonely.
Wei Cheng didn't know how to comfort him.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly grabbed Wei Cheng's hand: "It's just right, I don't have a brother, you have no home, then you can be my godbrother!" ”
"Huh?"
The prince thought of it, and immediately ordered Liu Jin to arrange an incense case for the table, and asked the imperial dining room for three animals to offer, exchanged names with Wei Cheng, and wrote down the Jinlan spectrum.
"The yellow sky is above, the thick soil is the proof, I drink tea and wine with Wei Cheng today, and conclude the deed of righteous Jinlan!"
Killed a brocade chicken as a gift, and the two righteous brothers drank the wine and tea with chicken blood, and they had to be courteous.
Zhu Houzhao's idea came suddenly, and it was the time to pray for blessings, and the yellow table paper of the incense case was ready-made. When the masters and masters heard about this and hurriedly came to stop it, they had already cooked raw rice and cooked rice.
For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is often unexpected, the scholars are also very troubled, where has there been such a nonsense prince in the past?
And Wei Cheng has gone from being a little orphan to now the younger brother of the prince, and this status can be said to have reached the sky one step by one.
The eunuchs in the East Palace, who have always regarded the prince's favor as the weather vane, also showed favor to him at this time.
Zhu Houzhao really treated him as his own brother, gave him several large carts of gifts, and wanted to give him a big mansion to live in, and he also allocated his personal eunuch to him.
Wei Cheng hurriedly excused himself, now that he could live with Lu Qi, he was already very happy, and he didn't dare to ask for more, and finally under Zhu Houzhao's reluctance, he accepted some gold and silver cloth.
"Brother, brother will go back." Wei Cheng said goodbye to Zhu Houzhao with the belongings that could still fill a carriage.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand reluctantly: "Come back tomorrow, brother will teach you to play the rich man in the world." ”
……
At dusk, rain clouds began to pile up in the sky again, and the air was dreary and dreary about to rain.
Emperor Hongzhi listened to the right play, thought for a long time, and let Lu Qi go home without saying a word, which made her quite suspicious.
Since ancient times, the king's heart has been unpredictable, what is His Majesty the Emperor thinking?
Fortunately, Chen Yin'er's body has recovered, and she can already sit up and drink porridge by herself at this time, which can be regarded as letting Lu Qi's heart relax a little.
"Sister-in-law, are you still drinking soup today?" Lu Qi teased.
I don't know where Chen Yin'er heard the method of whitening with arsenic in the soup, but she didn't learn it well enough, and she actually drank the decoction to apply to her face, which caused arsenic poisoning.
Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't cry or laugh, Chen Yin'er even blushed and covered her head with a quilt, and said angrily:
"Oops, don't say it! I won't try this crooked way again! ”
Lu Qi smiled: "That's good, my sister-in-law is naturally beautiful, gentle and moving, and her face is as clean as the autumn moon, where do you need any whitening soup?" ”
"Qi'er's mouth is used to saying things that please people."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and rolled down on the bed together.
After chatting for a while, I heard the sound of people and horses coming from outside the courtyard.
Lu Qi went out to see, and it turned out that it was someone from the East Palace who sent Wei Cheng back.
The strange thing is that it was not only Wei Cheng who came back, but also followed by a carriage, and Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of purchasing in the East Palace, was directing people to carry goods from the cart down and pile up a hill in the courtyard.
"Lord Lu, just use these gold and silver cloths as my temporary residence." Wei Cheng's little face was still pale, but he was already much more energetic than in the morning, and he was still wearing a familiar wide crane.
Lu Qi was still puzzled and looked at Ma Yongcheng.
Ma Yongcheng already knew that this Lu servant couldn't read it, and today Mrs. Li couldn't sue him in person, and the saint was thick! When he was busy, he gave Lu Qi a salute and explained with a smile:
"Our Cheng'er is not what it used to be! The prince appreciated it, and this afternoon he burned incense to worship the sky, worshiped Cheng'er, and married Jinlan. ”
Ooh!
Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, this kid is the "royal brother" of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
"Congratulations to Master Cheng'er."
Lu Qi just wanted to salute, but Wei Cheng squirmed to the side: "Let's call me Wei Cheng, I'm not an official, it's weird." ”
Lu Qi smiled: "Your child is too old, it doesn't hurt to be happy and happy for such a good thing."
Well, I will keep this gold and silver for you for the time being, and make a booklet for you to study and marry a wife later.
What about these cloths, wait for your sister Yin'er to be cool, and make you a few clothes to wear! ”
……
At night, it was another heavy rain, and Emperor Hongzhi's cough became more and more serious, and the intermittent coughing sound in the dormitory did not stop.
Miao Kui entered the palace gate, waved the little eunuch who was waiting, and then approached the side of the dragon's bed and whispered:
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yu from the Tai Hospital recommended Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe, and the two of them wrote a new recipe, and the little slave has already ordered someone to decoct the medicine, and it will definitely be able to make your dragon body recover in the near future!"
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "I don't want to take any more medicine, no need." ”
"Your Majesty, don't say that!" Miao Kui hurriedly persuaded: "This time, with Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe and others, they will definitely be able to cure the disease!" ”
"Alas......"
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were tired, and he sighed: "How about the things that asked you to investigate?" ”
Miao Kui responded: "Yes, the little slave went to see it in person." Just now, when the sky was about to be dusk, a nameless wind suddenly blew, and the jade tree in the Emperor's Palace was blown by the wind and fell to the ground. ”
The jade tree in the Huangji Hall is a tribute to the Heavenly Palace when Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne. Now that he is blown by the wind, could it be a warning from heaven that he will die soon?
Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes, and Miao Kui was still muttering: "Your Majesty's medicine can't be broken." ”
"Ahem, ahem, that's it." After pondering for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly opened his eyes: "I am going to pass on the edict to remove Prince Lu Yun from the post of attendant and change to the Shenji Battalion!" ”
