On the vermilion palace wall,

Torches like dragons,

The brightly armored forbidden army looked at the young man below in a daze,

As if walking through the night cloak in scarlet,

"Greedy for power, retribution, I am a layman. ”

"I don't have a chance with all the breeze and bright moon, so why am you?"

The young man's smile was a little cold.

Outside the palace gate,

There is already a curfew,

A heavy birch carriage was quietly parked on the side of the street, and Lu Mingfu, who was wearing a cyan official uniform, was dozing off in the carriage, when he heard the footsteps and suddenly woke up, and only after seeing the person who came clearly did he breathe a sigh of relief and rubbed his chest.

"Your Highness, your old man has finally come out. ”

Lu Mingfu jumped out of the carriage and his eyes were quite resentful, he had already been scared into a cold sweat when he saluted in the main hall earlier, and his later words made him feel like a man's back, and when he heard His Majesty's invitation to enjoy the imperial garden, the whole person was already in a daze.

In front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he may not be able to say something rebellious in private, but now he watched Xu Xian come out with all his beards and tails, and the big stone in his heart finally landed, and in the end, the reception of envoys was the responsibility of Honglu Temple, and no matter what happened in the process, he couldn't get out of it.

"Good work, Lord Lu. ”

The young man looked at Lu Mingfu, who was wearing a thin official uniform, and was a little surprised.

"Hey, Your Highness, don't say that, you can come out with all your beard and tail, without angering Your Majesty, it is a great joy to say to my old man. ”

Lu Mingfu hurriedly waved his hand.

"The old man couldn't sleep in Honglu Temple anyway, so he simply stayed here and waited for His Highness, Commander Yan was originally together, but the old man thought that His Highness was not happy to see him, so he simply asked him to bring someone back together. ”

"Lord Lu is a person with a clear mind. ”

The young man was surprised.

"Your Highness praised it falsely, the old man is not transparent, at most he is sleek, and the mud is a good hand, thinking that more things are better than less things. ”

"The same is true for this peace talks, the old man does not seek merit, but he asks for no fault, the old man is a lot older, and the original Honglu Temple is also an extremely noble official position, and the pension is suitable, but there is such a thing when it comes......"

Lu Mingfu chattered and pushed open the wooden door of the carriage by the way, seeing that this posture was intended to easily drive Xu Xian back to Honglu Temple.

"I didn't expect Lord Lu to drive. ”

The young man looked up at the old man who was holding the horsewhip and wearing an official uniform, and he laughed suddenly, and took a few steps forward, but he had no intention of getting into the car.

"Your Highness, the old man is here to pick you up, where are you going?"

Lu Mingfu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and chased after him with the hem of his official uniform, looking a little funny, but the young man was slightly warm-hearted, in the end, he couldn't wait to eat his own flesh and sleep in the skin, but there are many people like Lu Mingfu, quite a few tall people who have fallen down, and the storm or the earth dragon turning over has nothing to do with him, he only needs to take care of his own one-third of an acre, this kind of person is not good, but it is not good if there are no such people.

"It's a little boring, walk back, and blow the wind on the way. ”

"I have good intentions, Lord Lu should go back first. ”

The young man chuckled.

"This ......"

Lu Mingfu was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the imperial city behind him abruptly, and he didn't know what His Majesty and the young man in front of him were talking about, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, after all, the person came out intact.

"Lord Lu, please go back. ”

"That's it, the old man is one step ahead, and His Highness will come back early. ”

"Drive, sigh ......"

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingfu did not bother and silently turned around and drove the carriage in the direction of Honglu Temple.

"This old man is a wonderful man. ”

The young man looked at the carriage in the distance and thought suddenly.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away,

The long street is cold again,

"A hundred poems about fighting wine, Lin'an rice paper is expensive. ”

"The city is full of hanging cool knives, Yong'an yellow paper is expensive. ”

The young man in the black and gold python robe looked at the Yong'an City in front of him and muttered in a low voice, the sound of the soles of his boots hitting the ground spread far away in the silent night, and the cold moonlight sprinkled the shadow of the young man was stretched for a long time, and he was always walking alone on the long street where no one was around.

The cold wind is blowing in your face,

Taking a deep breath,

The whole person is much more comfortable.

As he walked through an alley, the young man's face turned strange and suddenly became abrupt.

The oil lamps in the alley were suddenly extinguished,

Then there was the sound of undressing,

"Lady, can you hurry up?"

The man lowered his voice and urged,

"The husband was quiet, and last night the husband listened to the root of the wall, and ran to talk nonsense, so that the slave family was joked by the broken neighbors for half a day, and tomorrow there will be no face to the street. ”

A woman's delicate anger rang out.

"The lady is very shy, and the matter between the husband and wife is very strange, and the old bachelor on the donkey day likes to lie in the corner of the house, and he didn't find it yesterday, you see that the husband will squat him tomorrow to go to the yamen, and if he doesn't beat him, he won't hit the flesh and skin. ”

As the words fell, the man's snort became much heavier, and the woman also took off her clothes, so that she could see her beautiful figure by the moonlight.

"Look at your anxious look......"

The woman said coquettishly.

"Lady, when my husband went to our business trip this afternoon, I heard the rumors, and within a few days there was a new decree in the imperial court, and the baby is not only tax-free, maybe you can also have silver to take, let's hurry up and have a few more cubs......"

"In the end, this is the meaning of the imperial court, our sex is not only a family matter, but also a state affair, but it is also a few happy and a few sorrowful, for us to have cubs and silver is a great thing. ”

"But the two young sisters in the family are looking at the tax next year, but they don't want to marry anything, and they don't know how to survive with more than two taels of silver. ”

The man suddenly thought of this stubble and muttered in a low voice.

"Forget it, I'll persuade you tomorrow. ”

"It's really not possible to get married earlier, give birth to a litter of cubs next year, and the reward for the official uniform is enough to cover the tax of more than two taels of silver. ”

After a long sigh,

The heavy wheezing in the alley hastened,

After a few breaths, it increased sharply, and finally stopped,

"Xianggong, I ......"

The movement of squirming and dressing came,

At the same time, there are words that the woman wants to speak and stops,

Sounds a little resentful,

"Click......"

The sole of the boot stepped on a piece of dead wood, very light,

But the sound is very clear in the silent night,

"You donkey day Wang Mazi, and you came to listen to Lao Tzu's wall again!"

After a moment of silence, the window was suddenly pushed open, and the angry roar of the old servant was heard, and an embroidered shoe was thrown out and fell in front of the young man, and for some reason there was such a big fire.

"Nothing to do to give birth to a doll. ”

"But if there are more such people. ”

"If you want to come to Emperor Qi, his old man's efforts will be in vain. ”

The young man jumped up lightly and stood on the eaves, looking at the shirtless man at the door, pouting with a majestic appearance, jumping down from the other end, and continuing to stroll on the long street, wearing a black and gold python robe and the disturbance made earlier, no one dared to stop him.

Yong'an City is very large,

When I walked outside the Honglu Temple,

"Knock—— knock, knock!"

There was a sound of beating,

One slow and two fast has been three days,

"In the rainy season, moisture-proof and moisture-proof ......"

There was a man carrying a lantern through the streets and alleys,

"Your Highness!"

In addition to the forbidden army stationed outside the gate of Honglu Temple, there was also an old man in a green robe who had been waiting in the night for a long time, and at this moment, after seeing the people coming, he walked quickly to Xu Xian's side.

"Your Highness, you're back. ”

Lu Mingfu subconsciously yawned.

"Lord Lu, why bother?"

The young man looked at Lu Mingfu's courteous appearance and spoke.

"Tomorrow is the peace talks, the old man wants to pass peacefully, but he doesn't dare to make any trouble at this juncture, so he doesn't want to disturb His Highness's distraction, so he came back alone. ”

"But when people are old, they don't have any sleepiness, so it is better to wait outside the door than to lie in the room, and see His Highness earlier, so that the old man can sleep with peace of mind. ”

Lu Mingfu said with a smile,

"Lord Lu, how old are you?"

The young man looked at the old man in front of him and said abruptly.

"Sixty out of five, the old man is older. ”

"But this noble official position does not eat age when it falls. ”

"Does Lord Lu have an heir?"

"The old man has a son and two daughters in the family, the daughter got married early, the son is the head of the Ministry of Industry, the official position is not high, but it is reasonable, although the Ministry of Industry does not have much oil and water to win in leisure, if it is not for His Royal Highness to enter Beijing to receive the old man, maybe he is still holding his grandson in the house. ”

Lu Mingfu didn't understand the meaning of Xu Xian's question, but he still patiently explained, and there was a bit of resentment in his words in the end, but after getting along, he found that the young man in front of him was completely different from the earliest rumored three-headed and six-armed, tall, and a monster who ate a doll at a meal, not to mention a good skin that was hard to find in the world, and his temperament was not much wrong except for being frivolous, so he was not disgusted personally, of course, if it was above the court, Lu Mingfu would naturally not get along in private, after all, everything had to be politically correct.

"Lord Lu, do you have any surplus food at home?"

The young man asked again.

"Your Highness, you are joking, although the old man has a noble official position and can't make too much oil and water, but just a fortune is enough to feed the family, how can there be no surplus food?"

"Why did Your Highness ask like that?"

Lu Mingfu was stunned.

"Now that I am old enough, I have food to spare at home. ”

The young man paused,

"Lord Lu actually spends his days at home some times. ”

"It's also a lot of fun to tease your grandchildren. ”

The young man pointed out,

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Lu Mingfu seemed to think of something, looking at the direction of the palace a little distracted, he thought that the young man had restrained a little in the later period, but now he faintly felt that something earth-shattering had happened in those two hours.

"It's better to do it earlier, before the peace talks are over. ”

The young man smiled, and walked to the door, after the news of Emperor Qi's "death" came out, he thought of this series of arrangements, and anyone with a discerning eye could see whose handiwork, and now he is in charge of this matter, if he is somewhat implicated in the future, the reputation of cutting the land and seeking peace in the Honglu Temple is spread, not to mention the stigma, it is not strange to lose his head, in the end, Lu Mingfu's official position is enough, but there is no real power in his hands to put it in today's turmoil is still too small.

The young man has walked for a long time,

Lu Mingfu is still standing in place,

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lu Mingfu finally let out a long sigh,

He bowed very solemnly in the direction of the young man's departure.

The next morning,

Outside Honglu Temple,

Three thousand black-clothed and black-armored forbidden troops have been stationed in the neighboring streets, but Yong'an City is still the appearance of thousands of empty alleys, and countless people from the streets and homes spontaneously gathered outside the Honglu Temple, looking down from the sky, densely packed like countless black spots.

When they arrived at the gate of Honglu Temple, those people stopped, the red-clothed and black-armored Liangzhou soldiers were expressionless in the face of the surging crowd, when those men who had always been unscrupulous squeezed ten zhang outside the wall, their hands had been on the cool knife on their waists, when a man was pushed by the crowd behind him to cross the distance of ten zhang.

The sound of neat knife drawing came,

"Hiss......"

In front of him were tens of thousands of Yong'an people, and countless others were coming, but the three hundred Liangzhou soldiers were indeed rooted outside the door like a reef.

"Your Highness, this ......"

Lu Mingfu's face was a little ugly, he thought about it all night yesterday, and he just woke up today, and it was such a situation, if there was half a mess, it would cause a riot.

"Lord Lu might as well look into their eyes. ”

The young man stretched his waist and yawned, he came back too late yesterday and didn't sleep comfortably, but the so-called peace talks had already been settled in the Imperial Garden, and now it was just a formality.

"Eyes?"

Lu Mingfu was surprised.

"There is hatred and fear in their eyes. ”

The young man said quietly.

"Speaking of which, this hall is quite annoying in the eyes of the Qi people, tens of thousands of people came in the middle of the road, and such a big pomp is about to catch up with the time to return to Liangzhou. ”

"It's a pity that the hatred in their eyes can't cover the deep fear to this day. ”

"But the day is coming soon. ”

"The anger in their eyes burns fear to the ground. ”

"The same fire will burn everything, Lord Lu's attitude towards the temple is better, although it is a matter of Lord Lu's authority, but not everyone may see it this way, as long as it is contaminated with a little spark......"

The young man patted Lu Mingfu on the shoulder and said softly, the latter was a little stunned, last night sleepless tossing and turning was more about the pressure in the court when there was a problem in the peace talks, but now I know that there are still civil affairs.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, when will this fire burn?"

Lu Mingfu solemnly saluted Xu Xian.

"The peace talks have already been ignited, and perhaps on the third day, they will be at their most vigorous. ”

The young man thought of the land cut and said leisurely, after all, even when Qingguo was at stake, he didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of the news about the land cut, and the humiliation for a country can be imagined.

"Boom and fall, dare to ask Your Highness if this fire will be smaller in three days?"

Lu Mingfu said with a bitter smile, the more he came into contact with it, the more he felt the madness hidden under the handsome face in front of him.

"Smaller?"

The young man shook his head,

"Maybe it will explode. ”

"Brilliant as fireworks. ”

The smile on the corner of the young man's mouth was a little cold.
