Master Luo Cao

Kou Luoche said: "I look like my mother, but not as good as Marquis of Jinyang, my facial features are exactly like my father's."

"If not, how do you think he earned this position?" the emperor smiled.

Fu Yunshu bowed his head and stood beside Fu Zheng, with cold sweat slowly oozing from his forehead... He felt as if he knew something extraordinary.

"I'm not interested in how he earned it." Kou Luoche said coldly, "I just want to see how he fell from this position."

The emperor said: "It seems that you are very sure?"

Kou Luoche said: "I only have the evidence about Caisheng Gate and Tang Ji protected by my late father, as well as my pair of eyes. As for the grasp, it is only in your own hands, Your Majesty." After a pause, he said : "From 13 years ago to now, it has always been like this."

The emperor said: "You still have resentment towards me because of Lu Qing's matter?"

"Don't dare, whether a mere ant is resentful or not has no effect on His Majesty." Kou Luoche said: "Only those who really have an influence on His Majesty can let the emperor go out of Beijing and go to Jiuhe Xiao, which is thousands of miles away." county."

The emperor smiled and said: "Do you think that I came to Jiuhe in person for the evidence of Tang Ji's crime?"

Kou Luoche asked back: "Isn't it?"

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth disappeared all of a sudden, his eyes were deep and fixed on Kou Luoche, and after a long time, he shook his head slowly.

He said: "I am for you."

There was a "buzz" in Fu Yunshu's mind, and he looked at Kou Luoche who was also astonished in disbelief, and slowly clenched his hands into fists.

The emperor said: "In the court battle, the outcome is never determined by the so-called criminal evidence. The winner will naturally be right."

Kou Luoche pursed his lips, looked at the emperor coldly, and said nothing.

A smile gradually appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth again, and he said: "You said just now that you want to see Jinyang fall from its current position, but this position of Marquis of Jinyang was set up for Lu Qing's bereaved son, to show my respect for you. For Lu Qing's thoughts, this position must never be vacant, and if he goes down, someone must replace him."

The emperor smiled and asked, "A Tim, would you like to go back to Beijing with me?"

There was only a moment of silence, but it seemed like a long time.

Kou Luoche said, "I don't want to."

After the emperor left, there were only three people left in the hall.

Kou Luoche settled down, knelt down towards Fu Zheng, and firmly kowtowed three times, "Junior Lu Tian, ​​I have met Uncle Fu."

"Good boy, Ah Tim, get up quickly." Fu Zheng quickly helped Kou Luoche up, touched his face, and sighed guiltily: "You have suffered all these years, and I failed to live up to Brother Lu's instructions. Take care of you."

Kou Luoche said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, what is this? Don't you think I am tall and strong?"

"That's right, dad," Fu Yunshu patted Kou Luojia's arm, "Look at him, he has raised himself well."

Fu Zheng also smiled, and said: "You two have been separated for 13 years, but you still meet again by accident. It is really destined, and you must get along well in the future." Saying that, he took the hands of the two of them and held them together , Fu Yunshu blushed, and turned his head quickly, while Kou Luoche smiled and squeezed his hand secretly, "Don't worry, uncle, I will never let you down in this life."

Although it sounded a bit strange, Fu Zheng only thought that they were brothers, and didn't think deeply about it. Instead, he said, "Your Majesty insisted on traveling this time, and I thought he valued the heinous case of Caishengmen. I never thought about it. But it’s still because I can’t let go of the past.”

Kou Luoche said: "Father is father, and I am me. Although we are father and son, we are also two completely different people in this world, and we can never replace each other."

Fu Zheng glanced at Kou Luoche approvingly, and said: "At the beginning, Your Majesty said that he found Brother Lu's son, and I really found you. But when I saw it with my own eyes, the child's appearance was quite different from yours. On the contrary, it is five points similar to Brother Lu, so I realized that it is His Majesty who is obsessed with it."

Fu Yunshu, who was listening silently, widened his eyes belatedly, "Father, you mean the emperor is right..."

Fu Zheng frowned, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Don't say it!"

Fu Yunshu shrank his head cowardly again.

Kou Luoche stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and said: "It's really difficult for him, I don't know where to find such a person as a substitute for comfort, but unfortunately, he is a wicked person."

"The Marquis of Jinyang is at his disposal by the emperor. He was just a child like you 13 years ago. He has no direct grievances with us. The ones who should deal with it now are Tang Ji and Jin Yunlong." Fu Zheng said, his eyes gradually Turn gloomy.

Kou Luoche's heart trembled, and he asked: "Uncle Fu, are you sure you can take down Tang Ji? I finally found the evidence left by my father. Once it is announced to the world, what Tang Ji and Caishengmen have done over the years , will definitely ruin his reputation!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Then hand over all the evidence to me, and I will make them useful." Fu Zheng said: "As for Tang Ji, you don't have to worry, since His Majesty dares to show up at such a juncture A trip to Beijing will naturally ensure that the capital is safe. The crimes Tang Ji has committed over the years are too numerous to record. His Majesty may not have been aware of it, but he has a heavy army in his hand. He is in the high position of the Grand Master, but under the high position, he has been emptied by His Majesty, and now he is just showing his appearance, like a tiger without claws, vulnerable to a single blow."

Fu Yun showed joy in his writing, and was about to grab Kou Luoche to say something, but found that Kou Luoche looked sad, and he asked with concern: "Brother Kou, what's wrong with you?"

Kou Luoche reluctantly smiled at him and said, "It's nothing."

Nothing really, just a little lost.

The emperor's previous words are still in my ears - "The winner will naturally be right."

It turns out that my painstaking efforts for so many years, step by step, are nothing more than a dispensable existence like embellishment compared to the change of power and military power above the court.

As long as the ending is happy, it's really nothing if my 13 years have been wasted.

It's just inevitable that there is some melancholy.

Fu Yunshu didn't know whether he understood what was going on in his heart, he looked at him worriedly, and regardless of his father's presence, he quietly squeezed Kou Luoche's hand tightly.

Fu Zheng didn't seem to notice it, and said: "I have to see someone, so I won't bother you to whisper."

"Father, who are you going to see?" Fu Yunshu asked hurriedly.

Fu Zheng didn't answer, just waved his hand and walked out.

"You don't need to ask," Kou Luoche said softly, "Uncle Fu must have gone to see Jin Yunlong."

Thousands of reading friends, a bottle of chatting and laughing companions.

When walking down Jindiao Mountain, the emperor passed by a small courtyard with white walls and black tiles. He stared at the couplets on both sides of the courtyard gate for a long time.

This was a very common couplet, but it attracted all his attention. After a long time, he smiled lightly and said: "When Lu Qing was the prince's companion, he also wrote this couplet for me."

The secret guard who had been following him couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, if His Majesty wants to, I will definitely bring him back to Beijing."

The scene of the young man proudly raising his head and saying "I don't want to" appeared in front of his eyes, the emperor's eyes drooped slightly, he slowly shook his head and said, "No need."

The secret guard said: "The seat of Marquis Jinyang in Beijing..."

"Marquis of Jinyang? Isn't Marquis of Jinyang here in Jiuhe County?" the emperor said indifferently.

The dark guard asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

The emperor said: "It seems that I haven't seen him for a long time, so let's go see him."

With the order of the emperor, Marquis Jinyang, who had been locked up in the prison for many days, was quickly taken out of the prison and sent to the Jiuhe County Yamen. It wasn't those rude and tyrannical bandits who thought it was Grand Master Tang who had taken care of Fu Zheng and freed himself to save himself. He wanted to hug his thigh and cry, but was ruthlessly stopped by the guards standing on both sides.

Marquis Jinyang glared at the two guards who blocked him, and called out aggrievedly: "Your Majesty!"

The emperor had no expression on his face and said indifferently: "How many days have you been in prison?"

"Ten days!" As soon as Jinyanghou mentioned this, his mouth twisted in anger, "That hateful bandit! He actually locked me in prison for ten days! He gave some rotten vegetables and leaves every day. Kill me! Your Majesty, where is he now? It's not enough to vent the hatred in my heart if I don't kill him myself!"

The emperor said, "No wonder it's so dirty."

The Marquis of Jinyang was taken aback, looked down at the honor in front of him, and said in shame: "It's the minister's disrespect in front of the palace."

"It's good to know," the emperor said softly, "After you go back, let's live in another place."

Marquis Jinyang was taken aback, "Where does the emperor want the minister to move?"

The emperor said: "The Nagato Palace happens to be empty now, so you can move there to live."

Nagato Palace is exactly the Leng Palace.

"Your Majesty..." Marquis Jin Yang said in disbelief, "Why does Your Majesty... want my minister to move to the Leng Palace?"

The emperor said: "You know it well."

After all, he stood up and was about to leave, but Jinyang Hou suddenly fell to his knees and shouted: "I don't accept it!"

The emperor turned his head back, his eyes were cold, "You have committed a serious crime, how dare you refuse to accept it? Do you really want me to throw evidence one by one in your face before you will accept it?"

"As the emperor said, I know that I have committed serious crimes, such as colluding with Tang Ji, forming a party for personal gain, selling people, abusing lynching, etc. The crimes are unforgivable. It is because of this that I refuse to accept it." After a pause, he said: " The minister refuses to accept the punishment imposed by the emperor."

The emperor looked at him silently, his eyes were as deep as cold pools.

With a sneer, Marquis Jinyang said: "The emperor should judge the courtiers and make a decision."

The emperor said: "Do you want to die?"

"I don't want to die at all," Jinyang Hou said, "It's just that now that the emperor has found Lu Tian's real body, I, a fake, should abdicate to let the virtuous."

The emperor said: "Do you think I can't bear you?"

"How can there be any reluctance?" Jinyang Hou laughed self-deprecatingly, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears rolling in his eyes, "I'm just a beggar living on the street. Fortunately, I was favored by the emperor and became the target of everyone's eyes. The glorious Marquis of Jinyang. But you and I know in our hearts that I am just a substitute for a substitute, even if I have been with you for thirteen years, how can I dare to expect a little pity from you?"

He was still talking hard, but his body was honestly trembling violently because of the imminent death, "I am not Lu Tian, ​​I have a name, my name is Chuncao... Although your Majesty, you may never remember such a person in your life .”

He didn't want to die, but things had come to this point, and there wasn't much point in continuing to live.Nagato Palace is definitely a more painful and desperate place than Yincao Jifu.

He lay on the ground, waiting for the moment when the blade fell on his neck.

After a long time, what he waited for was a warm and familiar hand.

The emperor caressed his neck and called out: "Toon grass."

The emperor said: "After thinking about it, I really can't bear to part with you for these 13 years with me."

Chuncao burst into tears, raised her head, looked at him with surprise and joy, "Your Majesty!"

The emperor smiled slightly, and said warmly: "So, you should go back to Beijing with me and live in Nagato Palace."

The author has something to say:

explain

If Toon Grass is dead, it will make the emperor never forget it and become a cinnabar mole in his heart (Bai Yueguang's position is already owned by Mr. Lu). The emperor knows himself too well, so he didn't kill him. I don't want to let myself have this little demon.
