Both the appearance of the front court and the rear palace changed rapidly.

In the early dynasty, there were not many people from the family, and Lu Zhi's grandfather retired after the Chinese New Year, most of them were young people.Therefore, many scruples were reduced in the discussion, and the court at the beginning of the new year seemed to be full of vitality.

In the harem, the Empress Dowager fell ill for a period of time, and the soup and medicine were changed innumerably, but it never got better.It is said that I have been trying acupuncture recently. Although it has improved somewhat, it is probably because it hurts too much, so I still feel less energetic.

Among the remaining women, Concubine Wen Gui had the highest status, and the emperor went to her palace the most frequently.

But she is the most humble and gentle person. When she was not out of the court, she was a well-known lady in the capital with her own sister.Now that Longchong is in her body, she doesn't show a trace of arrogance, Fengyin is in charge of her, and everyone is convinced.

The revival of the direct line, the old ministers are happy to hear it.

Compared with the passive sabotage and thanking guests behind closed doors a while ago, Lu Zhi is also very diligent recently, and he is so busy every day that he can't see the end.

The usual indifference to others is gone, and everyone is always smiling when they meet, which makes people feel happy and kind.

However, it is easy for others to understand, they just said that they have swallowed their anger for so many years, and once the grievances are brought to light, anyone will feel elated.

He usually only stays in Dali Temple until noon before leaving, and there are countless social and entertainment activities.Today I made an appointment with Mr. Liu to talk at Huixianglou, and tomorrow I made an appointment with last year's No. [-] Scholar to sit in a teahouse.

He also took the lead in organizing two poetry symposiums, and by some means, he invited two prominent Confucian scholars, who became famous in the capital for a while, and the reputation of King Yu as elegant and close to the people spread all over the place.

After such a day-to-day life, after Lu Zhi had spent a lot of money on the full moon ceremony for the twins in his family, he was finally summoned into the palace by the emperor's decree.

In the imperial study room, the emperor sat behind a desk full of notebooks, and Lu Zhi knelt in front of the desk.

He did not say anything after asking for safety, and the emperor did not call out, so the room fell silent.

After a while, the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed two papers from the top of the pile, and threw them on Lu Zhi, "Look at the good deeds you have done!"

He threw it accurately, one hit Lu Zhi's chest, one brushed the side of his face, and fell from his shoulder.

The golden-yellow-faced copybook is for speech officials. Lu Zhi picked it up and looked at it. The first signature was Lu Xuan.

The first booklet was started by Qi Wang Luxuan, and almost all the speakers later signed it.

From wooing courtiers to the inappropriate poems that flowed out at the poetry meeting, to his extravagant mannerisms, Lu Zhi was fully referenced from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.

The second book was written by a young Jinshi.

That Jinshi had worshiped under the Duo clan before, but now that the Duo clan has fallen, he has not been affected much. Anyone with a discerning eye knows where this person must have received protection.

On his notebook, every word and every word is praising King Yu’s talent. The beautiful words are dazzling, and it is almost necessary to write clearly. For the court, land quality is indispensable. As for the emperor... According to this notebook In terms of it, it is really dispensable.

After Lu Zhi read it word by word carefully, he closed the booklet, did not speak, and still knelt respectfully.

The emperor shouted angrily: "Nie Zi! What do you have to say!"

Lu Zhi said: "The first notebook, all the above are true, and Zhang Jinshi has indeed made friends with my son recently. My son has nothing to say."

"You!" The emperor threw down his teacup angrily, got up and supported the table, pointed at Lu Zhi with his index finger, and said, "You can't wait that long! I'm not dead yet! You're so anxious to come and sit in this seat and wear this dress." Clothes, isn't it?!"

"You can't pinch your tail before the horoscope has even been written, and you want to show your foolish appearance to everyone, you idiot!"

Lu Zhi knelt upright, no matter how angry Emperor Ren was, he just lowered his eyes and didn't answer.

There is a faint fragrance of ink in the air, and a bit of the aroma of tea poured on the ground, but the atmosphere is solidified and depressing.

After a long time, the emperor seemed to be unable to support himself anymore, the elbow that was holding the table gave way, and he sat back in the chair.

He tilted his head and coughed heavily, heart-piercing, as if he was about to cough up blood.Lu Zhi was slightly moved, and wanted to ask, the eunuch happened to bring in another cup of tea to serve the emperor to soothe his throat.

After a while, the emperor calmed down his breathing again.

He threw away the ink pen for annotation, sighed, and said to Lu Zhi in a helpless tone: "After such a long time, I didn't know that you are still angry about the side concubine, aren't you?"

Lu Zhi said: "I dare not."

The emperor said: "When you said you wanted to investigate, did anyone stop you? Didn't I let you investigate? How many people were taken out of your grandmother's palace and killed, and you haven't recovered your face. Not satisfied?"

Lu Zhi said again: "I dare not."

"Get up, go and sit there." The emperor pointed to the chair on one side, "fourth, you are not young, why are you still like an ignorant child. You are the prince I value, and you are a prince, and you will soon be crowned prince. If you hadn't insisted on not marrying a concubine, who would have thought of touching your side concubine?"

After only a few words, the emperor began to wheeze again.

Lu Zhi knelt still, he settled down, and then continued: "For a side concubine, there is such a big commotion... If you really feel sorry for him, do you understand the truth that life is hard and easy to break?" ?”

He spoke earnestly, but there seemed to be a flash of a smile on Lu Zhi's face.

"My son... I don't know how to count as just, and how to count too hard. It's just that my son is like a coward. Father don't slander the word just."

His eyes were drooping, he didn't look at the emperor, he knelt upright, he was modest, and his tone was indifferent when he answered a sentence or two.

But it was this gesture that made the emperor press his chest again angrily and coughed heavily.

"Nizi, do you know what you did wrong?!"

Lu Zhi said: "As said in the zhezi, all the piles and piles were done by my sons and ministers. Please punish the emperor."

"Lu Zhi!" The emperor blurted out with hatred and anger, "If your mother is still here, looking at you like this, I will be mad at you too!"

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, and his face darkened when he saw it.The emperor also realized that his words were unscrupulous, so he gritted his teeth and did not speak again.

"Your father must have known early on." After a long silence, Lu Zhi said in a low voice: "The four royal brothers were brutally poisoned, who did it, as early as 20 years ago, my father knew clearly in his heart. The villainous girl confessed herself, when will the father be willing to rectify the name of the mother?"

When the emperor himself was the prince, he was neither a direct wife nor an eldest son. It was all because he married the granddaughter of the power minister, Prime Minister Wen, that the Wen family single-handedly put him on the throne.

The road to imperial power is full of blood and intrigue. After three generations of the Wen family helped him succeed, the young emperor became jealous of Wen Xiang's city and their winding forces in the palace.

At that time, only the Duo family could compete with the Wen family. Their ancestors were merchants, rich enough to rival a country, but their status was not so noble, and they were willing to bow their knees to the new emperor.

Lu Zhi's mother and concubine were conferred the title of empress immediately after he ascended the throne. Later, Xi Jia and Wen Xuan entered the palace together, but the front court and the harem still seemed to be tightly held by the Wen family.

There were already other people sleeping soundly on the couch, the emperor tossed and turned every night, his heart was in the air, and he couldn't get it down.

When the first prince died due to the cold, no one thought about conspiracy.But the second prince died less than five days after he was born. The emperor's chief eunuch followed the clues, and the person who brought him out was Xijia.

But if he punishes Xijia, the crime of murdering the prince will be very involved. The Duo family was established for a few days, and when the wind and rain were still precarious, the emperor hesitated again and again, and finally endured it, just doing nothing.

Sisters Wenxuan can be the daughters of the boudoir, but if they are to be in charge of the harem, first of all they are not cruel enough.She was so naive that she never thought that the dead princes were actually sharp swords hanging over their heads.

After the fourth prince smothered to death in swaddling clothes and killed more than [-] nurses and court ladies, the queen mother was angry and asked him to investigate thoroughly, and the emperor woke up from the chaos.

It may be too late.

He did a wrong thing, and he will pay for it with countless mistakes later.

The two had been husband and wife since he was the prince, and the emperor had feelings for Lu Zhi's mother and queen.

It's just that the imperial power is confusing, he seems to be just shaking his head, and that gentle woman has become a tiny ray of wronged soul in the huge palace.

"Royal father can sleep with the women who murdered his four own flesh and blood for more than [-] years, and he can also personally send the sons he brought up with him to him... You wait until the deadlock of the Wen family is broken, and how many years will you wait?" When the clan fell, and when young talents came out in large numbers, the ministers realized that the dragon robe was difficult to wear, the dragon chair was difficult to sit on, and the emperor was difficult."

Lu Zhi said: "My son is not filial, it is really not that material, he has no power, I implore the father to consider for the common people in the world, and choose another good choice."

The emperor made a fuss first, and then was hooked by Lu Zhi, and couldn't hold on anymore.

He slumped into the grand master's chair, the corners of his eyes drooped loosely, showing his old appearance.

Lu Zhi went all out, and added another dimension at the end: "The queen mother left so early, my son...in fact, I can't remember her very much. But the emperor often told my son that she is very gentle and never speaks loudly. He was mischievous, so he just smiled and hugged him. The emperor just said that if the mother is here, if the mother is really there... She will not force her son to do things that cannot be done. "

The setting sun reflected in from the window frame, casting orange afterglow all over the floor.

The wind was still strong in the evening of spring, and Wu Lala brought it across the treetops, causing the newly born green leaves to rustle.

The emperor got up, bent down slowly beside Lu Zhi, took the two folds from his hand, turned around and sat back on the chair step by step.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his complexion was sallow. It was only after a closer look that he looked like he had been ill for a long time.

The emperor sat down and panted for a while, then said in a low voice, "The gate of the palace is about to be closed, you can go."

Lu Zhi hesitated to speak, and finally only said yes, and walked out.

The emperor opened his mouth when he stepped out of the door, and said slowly: "Your second brother... I didn't intend to ask him to die. It was your mother's last request to establish him back then, to protect you and Lu Lin from growing up safely. big."

It's just that he is a mediocre person, and it's not appropriate to say that he is simple and honest, he should be a little cowardly.If he went to the battlefield, but he performed mediocrely as a coach, and was compared by his subordinates, he would lose face.Not to mention that if he misses the battle opportunity because of looking forward and backward, one by one, he can be rescued from the crown prince.

But I didn't expect him to go and never come back.

He called him Lu Min, maybe all his wit was taken up by the name.I don't understand that as a prince, one's life is to be more noble than others, so there is no need to work so hard.

Lu Zhi paused for a long time, before taking a step forward, he said, "My son knows."

This time is always busy, when Lu Zhi returned one day early, Qi Mu was still in the mansion, accompanying Zi Rong, and the two of them were looking after the children in the inner room.

After the full moon passed, Zirong's legs gradually improved a lot, and Lu Zhi could help him to walk around.

When Lu Zhi entered the door, he was sitting cross-legged on the couch facing the door, with a sad face, and the one in his arms was crying. Judging by the color of the swaddle, it was An Lan.

Zi Rong's eyes lit up when she saw him, and said: "Lu Zhi, hurry up, she keeps crying, no one can coax her well, so come and hug her."

An Lan cried softly and milkily, pinching the apex of people's heart sorely.Lu Zhi rushed to wash his hands and hugged her, leaned over and kissed Zirong's forehead lightly, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Zirong shook her head: "Just after feeding, milk is still spitting out of her mouth. I just miss you."

Lu Zhi didn't even have time to untie his cloak, so he paced back and forth on the ground coaxing the child.

An Lansheng's two round eyes, which were exactly the same as Zirong's, were filled with water, and he was extremely wronged.

Lu Zhi shook her first, then lowered his head and carefully kissed her petal-like tender red mouth, and said to her warmly while circling on the ground: "My dear Lanlan, Daddy came back late, I made you cry, I apologize , can I apologize? We have passed the full moon, we are big children, be good, don't cry, don't cry..."

"Look." Zi Rong said to Qi Mu, "Don't you cry?"

Qi Mu turned his head and glanced at the one big and one who had already walked to the window, and said: "King Yu is patient with the children and willing to coax them."

Zirong touched Pingyu's face, and said with some embarrassment: "Anyway, he is a little more patient than me."

When the little flower demon kept crying, the flower demon had no choice but to cry like Pingyu's sister, her nose was sore and she wanted to cry.

Pingyu wore a cloth tiger-like hat on his head. Lu Zhi approached An Lan with his arms in his arms. He also noticed it and asked, "Who made this? It's exquisite."

Zirong raised her head and smiled at him: "Qi Mu made it for him, and he is still willing to wear it. Take it off and play with it for a while, and then you have to put it on for him again, or you will cry."

Lu Zhi looked at Pingyu with a smile for a while, and said to Qi Mu, "Thank you, thank you."

Qi Mu shook his head slightly, "Where?"

After saying a few words, he got up and said goodbye.Before leaving, he hugged Pingyu and kissed her, his face was calm, but it seemed reluctance.

Pingyu clenched his small fists and grunted twice, Qi Mu looked at him with interest again, then put him into Zirong's arms, and said: "It looks like it's going to be dark, I'll be back soon."

Zi Rong asked him to come back tomorrow, Qi Mu agreed, and Yan Yu'an sent him all the way out.

As soon as he went out, Lu Zhi turned his head and kissed Zirong's face, then moved to find the flower demon's lips.

He went out for a whole day, thinking so much in his heart that he couldn't back down when he kissed him.So the two of them ignored the little baby in their arms, and still kissed shamelessly for a long time.

Zirong blushed and eyes were moistened by the kiss, she retracted her neck and lowered her head not to look at the person, was embraced by Lu Zhi's arms, and kissed his ears and the back of his neck delicately.

"Itchy..." He softly pushed Lu Zhi, but in the end he didn't use much strength.

Lu Zhi's hand finally reached into the place where it shouldn't be, and the two of them were close to each other. Lu Zhi rubbed his hands lightly and heavily, and finally leaned into Zirong's ear and said, "Let the two We all sleep with the nanny, so we won't hug them at night, okay?"

Zi Rong was red from face to neck, she hung her head on Lu Zhi's shoulder, she didn't make a sound, just nodded her head obediently twice.
