Chapter 82 Dismissal, Royal Brother Rescue
The next day, the pilgrimage meeting.
Zhu Houzhao issued a holy decree in the court, and Lu Yun, the general of the right outpost battalion, hid the fugitives, removed all official positions and fame, exiled him for 800 li, and ordered his family to move out of the general's mansion within three days.
The fugitive Yun Qing was imprisoned in the prison and was to be beheaded after the autumn.
The detainee Wang Jinglong was acquitted and rewarded with 100 taels of silver as a sign of comfort.
Wang Qiong's subordinates and township party members were all raising their eyebrows and shouting the blessings of the Son of Heaven and Li Shu.
However, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Yun was originally the chief general of the right outpost battalion, and he was transferred by special order of His Majesty, and he was the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. Now that the Lord is lost, dare to ask if he will return the right outpost to the Shenji Battalion? ”
Indeed, Zhu Houzhao specially transferred the right outpost battalion out of the Shenji battalion in order for Lu Qi to return to the capital often, but now Lu Qi is no longer an officer, and the right sentry battalion has no leader, so it can't be empty and left unattended, right?
But Zhu Houzhao finally skipped the cabinet and arranged a palace for himself, and hoped that he would be able to go to the imperial village to relax in the future, where would he stop?
"I'll do that later!"
Liu Daxia has long been dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao's practice of cutting a piece from the Shenji Camp, and now he has seized the opportunity and refuses to let go easily:
"Your Majesty! The weapon of the soldier is not the weapon of the gentleman, and it is used as a last resort. As long as you sit in the center, corporal Lixian, be virtuous, and inherit the way of the ancient saints, how can you use the sword and soldier in vain? ”
"Liu Shangshu's words are wrong!" Zhu Houzhao retorted to him: "If there is no such ominous weapon, would it be possible to die in the world like the former Song Dynasty?" Taizu Taizong fought everywhere to sweep away external troubles for the future generations of the Ming Dynasty, is it also ominous? ”
Liu Daxia stiffened his neck: "The old minister doesn't dare to speak falsely about Taizu Taizong, but Your Majesty hasn't heard that Renjun is good at soldiering, and it is the beginning of disaster!" ”
Zhu Houzhao, who was already angry, suddenly got up on the green tendons on his neck: "Liu Shangshu, is this saying that I am reckless?" I just want to train a pro-army, and you just push back like this! In the future, if the Tatars come to you, you will not be able to look at the wind! ”
"Your Majesty!"
The three scholars came out one after another to advise, and the ministers below hurriedly seconded the proposal.
But Liu Daxia has always been emotionally rich and easy to cry, but now seeing that Zhu Houzhao refused to listen to persuasion and said these words again, he couldn't help but think of Emperor Hongzhi's time, and the tears rolled down in big pieces.
"The old minister has received the emperor's grace, and his heart is unswerving. Heaven and earth can be proven, the sun and the moon can be proven! Liu Daxia cried: "The first emperor! The old minister should go with you! ”
The ministers around him hurriedly came to stop him, and Zhu Houzhao on the throne already regretted it a little after saying his angry words.
At this time, Liu Daxia saw that the reaction was so big, Zhu Houzhao couldn't pull his face to appease him, and was afraid that he really couldn't think about it, so he embarrassedly ordered Wang Yue and other eunuchs to pour Liu Daxia a bowl of tea to drink.
It's about tired of crying. It took a long time for Liu Daxia to stop and return to the team with a sob.
And whether the right outpost battalion will return to the Shenji camp or not, after all, no result has been discussed.
On the way to disperse, Wang Shouren walked towards Yan Song.
Since the order of the investigation, the two temporary imperial historians have never found any key evidence, but they have nailed Wang Qiong's pleadings to the board.
Now that the emperor has closed the case, and the identities of the two of them have come to an end, they have returned the token just now, and there is no need to check it anymore, and the two can't help but feel regretful.
did not complete the emperor's secret order, and did not save his benefactor, Yan Song walked out in a daze, and his mood was very low.
"Brother Yan, there is autumn in the wind today, and there is already an early Gui open in Beijing, I don't know if I can drink a cup?" Wang Shouren came up with a smile.
As soon as Yan Song turned around, he saw Wang Shouren glaring at him, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, when the summer and autumn come, it is a wonderful thing to enjoy the laurel and drink." ”
……
And at this time, there was a special guest from outside the Heguang Temple.
"Master Cheng'er, don't tell anyone that the little slave brought you here, in case it reaches the ears of the Long Live Lord, the little slave's life will be ......."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."
The person who came was Wei Cheng.
After confirming that Lu Qi was in the Heguang Palace, Wei Cheng took out two silver tickets from his arms: "Thank you for leading the way, take it to drink and eat." ”
The little eunuch immediately stuffed it into his sleeve: "The little slave will help you call the door!" ”
After a sneaky knock on the door, Gu Da poked his head out of it like a frightened bird: "Who, who?" ”
The little eunuch gave way to the side: "I'm tired, Master Cheng'er is here!" ”
Gu Da looked up and down a few times: "Master Cheng'er...... Who's that? Long live the Lord has an order, and no one will be allowed to enter this and the Hall of Light! Let's all go back. ”
"Ahem." Wei Cheng took out the silver ticket from his arms: "Father-in-law, what do you look at this?" ”
Gu Dayong was just about to retract his head, and when he saw the thick pile of tickets, his pupils suddenly dilated: "Huh? Oh oh oh, it turned out to be Cheng'er! Look at my memory, where can I forget you? ”
Wei Cheng smiled slyly and fanned him with a silver ticket: "Then bother you to close your eyes first?" ”
"Close, close." At the moment of the silver ticket, Gu Dayong was no longer a little reserved, holding it with both hands and sticking it straight to his face: "It's still this baby, our family wants to kill you!" ”
Entering the Heguang Palace, Wei Cheng pushed open the door.
Lu Qi had another nightmare.
Although she rarely had nightmares, this time it was even more torturous.
In the dream, there are not only evil ghosts at the bottom of the river, cold waves, and burning flames, but also an indifferent back gradually drifting away, leaving her alone to gradually fall between the water and fire, and gradually swallowed up by the darkness.
In a trance, Lu Qi heard someone shouting in her ear.
"Lord Lu! Lord Lu! ”
It's the voice of the royal brother, it turns out that this royal brother can also surpass people's hearts?
A pair of cool hands were placed between her eyebrows, as if to soothe her overlapping pain.
Lu Qi slowly opened her eyes, the hall was much brighter, I don't know who opened the door, and a figure sat in front of her, against the light, unable to see her face clearly.
"Lord Lu, your complexion is so bad."
The child sighed like a little old man, and Lu Qi couldn't help laughing: "Don't sigh, I'm fine." ”
"Look, it's not like it's okay...... What's wrong with this strangulation mark on the neck? Is there anyone else in the palace who beats you? Could it be the eunuch just now? Wei Cheng was so anxious that he asked several times.
Lu Qi decided to skip the topic: "I said it's okay, you don't care about this." How's the outside going now? ”
Wei Cheng told her everything he knew, including Zhu Houzhao's decree to remove Lu Qi's official position and reputation, and behead Yun Qing's autumn queen.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Qi slowly sat up straight, Wei Cheng hurriedly helped him, and found a box of book pads behind him.
"What about Wang Jinglong and Tong Zimo?" Lu Qi asked suddenly.
Wei Cheng recalled for two seconds: "Wang Jinglong is the son of Wang Shangshu's family? Now he is acquitted. As for Tong Zimo...... For some reason, when the temporary imperial history found this person a while ago, he disappeared for no reason. ”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qi pointed to the cold tea on the table next to him: "If you're thirsty, pour me a cup." ”
After drinking tea, her dry lips were moisturized, which made her ease up a little: "I know." ”
"Lord Lu, the imperial brother is going to exile you for eight hundred miles, I know that you must be innocent, but I went to persuade the imperial brother and he refused to listen, and Master Yan didn't come back, what should I do?" Wei Cheng was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
With Lu Qi's current illness and soul-biased appearance, let alone being exiled for 800 miles, if there is no one to support him, it will be difficult to get out of the Heguang Hall by himself, wouldn't it be fatal?
"Brother Yu, don't panic." Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up terrifyingly: "The two temporary imperial histories, one is the king's director, and the other is your master Yan, both of them are trustworthy people.
But it's not enough just the three of you, you quietly go and find Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong! With his help, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"So what the hell is to do?"
Lu Qi taught him word by word: "You go to your master first, and then ask him to invite the king to ......"
Seeing Lu Qi's confident appearance, although Wei Cheng was still a little skeptical, he could only follow what she said and go to the rescue first.
And Lu Qi sat on the bed and thought for a long time, and called Gu Dayong, who was still rolling in the yard with a silver ticket, in: "Dayong, do me a favor." ”
Gu Da poked his head in: "Don't say one, a hundred will help!" What's busy? ”
"Word to my people."
