Chapter Eighty-Six: Guarding the Heart
"Xiaomin, knock to see Your Highness!"
After a while, a middle-aged man in the house came to the courtyard at a trot, saw Liu Qi, and immediately knelt on the ground.
The old man who opened the door next to him was stunned.
Your Highness?
This young man is actually the crown prince. Those who were busy also hurriedly crawled to the ground.
"Lu Liang, you didn't even raise your head, you knelt down directly when you came out, how did you know that this king had arrived, could it be that you couldn't thank you, only this king?"
"Or did you figure it out again?"
Lu Liang smiled and shook his head in denial.
"Xiaomin heard from the domestic servant that it was a young man who came, and he brought an attendant, and he thought it was His Highness."
Liu Qi chuckled.
"Then guess what, this king came here today to thank you, or did he come to you to punish you?"
This is a very embarrassing sentence, no matter how Lu Liang chooses, the initiative is in Liu Qi's hands.
But Lu Liang was unhurried.
"The little people are stupid, and I don't know what His Highness's visit means."
"But the little people have heard that His Highness is a person who knows right from wrong, and no traitor can escape from the eyes of the law."
"Whether the small people are guilty or not is all up to His Highness."
This guy really doesn't leak when he speaks.
first pretended to be low-profile, and then boasted about himself. In the end, he put the right to choose into his own hands.
He has said that he is a person who knows right from wrong, and has the ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
If he were to be convicted of a trumped-up crime at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
But although the words are beautiful, in Liu Qi's opinion, this is nothing more than some cleverness.
"What? When this king comes, can't you even drink tea? In this way, the king will condemn you for slackness. ”
"Zhuzi, why don't you go and pour tea for His Highness?"
"Alright, let's all get up."
As he spoke, Liu Qi unceremoniously walked towards the lobby of the Lu Mansion.
After sitting down, Liu Qi didn't ink and spoke directly.
"You tell General Bai that after the matter is over, let this king send someone to you, today, this king himself came, say, what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Lu Liang, who was sitting, immediately got up, put his hands together, and saluted the prince.
"Your Highness, Xiaomin wants to talk to Your Highness about business."
Liu Qi's eyes narrowed.
"Oh? Want to do business with this king? Do you know that the platinum Han in Qingdu is the king's industry, and there are countless such businesses in the king's heart, do you have a more profitable way to make money? ”
Lu Liang smiled.
"Your Highness's inheritance, the small people naturally know it."
"But the business that Xiaomin said is not a way to make money, but it is bigger than any business that His Highness does and thinks."
also sold Guanzi, but it did arouse Liu Qi's interest.
"Tell me, what's the business?"
"The small people are not talented, and they are willing to devote themselves to His Royal Highness, and within five years, they can ensure that His Royal Highness will ascend to the throne, and at that time, I only hope that His Royal Highness can remember the merits of the small people and be named the prime minister of Qingguo."
Hearing this, Liu Qi instantly frowned, his chest was full of anger, and he immediately slapped the desktop beside him fiercely.
"Bold!"
"Lu Liang, based on what you just said, this king can ask for your head now!"
If it were an ordinary person, it would have been scared of the ass urine.
But Lu Liang shook his head and chuckled.
"Your Highness, Lu is a pariah, it is not a pity to die, if His Highness really doesn't have such thoughts, then treat the small people as nonsense, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it."
"Good! The king will fulfill you now! ”
"Someone!"
With a loud shout, the guards beside him immediately rushed into the house, and just as it happened, the pillar carrying the tea also entered the house.
Seeing such a formation, his hand was soft, and the crackling teacup shattered to the ground.
Liu Qijian stepped forward, directly from the waist of a guard, pulled out a long knife, and immediately put it on Lu Liang's neck.
But it's all like this, but Lu Liang held his neck high, without any expression on his face.
"This king gives you a chance, if you take back Fang Cai's words, this king may be able to spare you death."
"The words have come out, and they are like splashing water, how can there be any reason to take them back. The little people have no regrets, Your Highness, please do it. ”
After speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Liu Qi's decision.
But after a while, Liu Qi sneered, handed the knife to the guard, and waved his hand.
"Stand down, all of you. Close all the doors, and no one will be left within twenty steps of the house! ”
The guards immediately retreated, including the domestic servants.
At this time, Lu Liang opened his eyes and looked at the prince with a smile.
At this time, Liu Qi was also staring at him.
I have to say, this guy's guts are really too big.
The words just now are no different from rebellion, even if they cut him directly, it is not an exaggeration at all.
If you say why you didn't do it, it's just because of his words, it's really right.
However, at that time, I was afraid that Lu Liang deliberately tricked him, so he made such a temptation, and it seemed that Lu Liang was really hard-hearted.
In addition, to say that he is really direct enough, as soon as he comes up, not only dare to say these words, but also ask for a future official.
Ordinary people really can't do such a thing.
"You just said that within five years, this king will be able to ascend the throne."
"Nonsense! My father's health is gradually improving, and in just five years, he must still be on his throne, how can he pass on to this king? ”
Lu Liang bowed and saluted again.
"Your Highness, Xiaomin has studied the Bagua Stars since he was a child, just a few months ago, and he saw that the purple stars were dim, and then the light gradually grew."
"Such a sign seems to be an auspicious omen, but after careful observation, Xiaomin found that there was a very dim star that was circling in the direction where the purple microstar was."
"If Xiaomin's calculations are good, within three years, this star will be able to reach the vicinity of Ziwei Star, and a celestial phenomenon will be formed at that time."
Liu Qi's heart was a little nervous.
When I used to watch TV and books, I knew that in ancient times, there was a Qin Tianjian who was responsible for observing celestial phenomena.
Although many people think that it is superstition, there are still many people who can think that it is very scientifically based.
"What astrological signs?"
"Glowing and Guarding!"
After Lu Liang finished speaking, Liu Qi's heart suddenly chuckled.
Although he didn't know much about the stars, he also knew that in his time, many emperors such as King Xuan of Zhou, Qin Shi Huang, and Song Jinggong died shortly after the appearance of this astrological sign.
The doctor said that his father's health was gradually improving, could it be...
Liu Qi was skeptical, and this topic was not suitable to continue to be discussed.
After sneering, he looked at Lu Liang.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, this king doesn't believe it, what kind of so-called astrological signs you have."
"However, this king wants to hear it, how do you want to assist this king, just rely on your mouth?"
Lu Liang stroked his beard and looked at the prince with a fixed look.
"Xiaomin dares to ask Your Highness first, what is your ambition?"
