The minister raised His Majesty in a wrong way [Rebirth]

On the first day of September, the morning dynasty, which had been suspended for a long time due to the siege of the city, resumed.

The Holy Majesty was seriously ill, and the prince had been regent for a long time. Someone wrote a letter early that day, imploring the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

People were panicked after the war, but at this time ascending the throne can not only deter the world but also appease the hearts of the people.

The courtiers were very anxious, hoping that the prince would succeed to the throne soon, but Gao Yu, who was the person involved, was not in a hurry.And not only was he not in a hurry, he also seemed to be afraid of something, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the matter of ascension to the throne.

It was true that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry, all the courtiers did not dare to bother Emperor Shande, so they had to mention it in the prince's ear every day, and the zhezi also handed them to the Xuande Palace one by one, but there was no news.

Before the new emperor ascended the throne, he could not be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Lou Chen, Gaoxian and others could not leave Beijing until the reward was awarded for a day.

Gao Xian was really in a hurry, so he took the army stationed in the north and went down to Huainan to clean up the remaining party of Yu Wang.Lou Chen's wound hadn't healed yet, so Gao Yu was afraid that he would go out and open the wound, so he directly imposed a foot restraint order, and he didn't allow people to leave the hall until the wound on Lou Chen's shoulder had scabbed over.

After recovering from his injury, Lou Chen also mentioned that he wanted to go home. After all, he was not homeless, and there was a small house in the capital where he could move in after cleaning.Moreover, as a foreign minister, it is nothing to live in the harem all day long. For three or two days, he can be said to be a sympathetic hero in the palace.

So he found an opportunity, when Gao Yu came to visit, Lou Chen mentioned this matter.

Lou Chen planned to speak carefully and distinguish the key points, but as soon as he mentioned it, Gao Yu pulled the corners of his mouth down, pretending to be hurt, and asked pitifully, "Ah Chen, is it because you don't want to be with me?"

"I didn't want to trap Ah Chen, but I was really scared. Ah Chen, you know that when you fell in front of me covered in blood that day, I was almost scared out of my wits..."

"Since then, I have been frightened by nightmares every night, and I feel restless when I don't see Ah Chen every day..."

"It's fine for Ah Chen to move out, then I'll go out of the palace to visit every day, so it's okay for the head office?"

Gao Yu was well aware of Lou Chen's temperament, he would take the soft but not the hard, if he was ordered by the crown prince, Lou Chen would definitely refuse, but such a regress, it seemed like he was begging for perfection, it was very pitiful.

Lou Chen was really helpless, and he didn't want Gao Yu to take time to visit him every day when he was so important, so he had to make a concession, discussing to move out of the prince's bedroom, and live in Gao Xian's original residence in the palace. side hall.

The side hall is not far from the prince's bedroom, Gao Yu saw that Lou Chen had already compromised, and was afraid of making him unhappy by forcing him, so he complied.

Afraid that he would be bored, Gao Yu gave him a token, allowing him to enter and leave the palace at any time, but he had to return to the palace before the lock was released every day.

Lou Chen had nothing to do that day, after practicing a set of sword skills, he thought of going out of the palace to see the Zhennan Army stationed outside the city.

After the war, everything was complicated, and everything was waiting to be done. Fortunately, the capital city was restored to life in less than half a month.

Teahouses, restaurants, shops and hotels have all resumed operations, and the traffic has returned to normal. Those who fled have returned home one after another, and the streets are bustling again. Although it is far from the prosperity of the past, it has given the people hope. No more panic.

After returning from the barracks, Lou Chen didn't ride a horse, and started strolling in the street like a leisurely stroll.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Lou Chen came to the door of "Liuweiju" after going around.This store has been standing here for a hundred years, and has experienced the baptism of several wars, but it still stands tall.

Lou Chen saw that it was still early, so he went to the private room on the second floor, found a seat by the window and sat down, listening to a book while thinking about the future.

The storyteller's voice was loud and frustrating, he was talking about the story of Prince Jing and General Zhennan's battle in the Northwest and expulsion of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Lou Chen had heard this passage several times before and after, and he had already memorized it fluently, so he lost his mind after listening to it, and his mind was only thinking about how to bring Gao Yu back to the Southwest.

Gao Yu is not even allowing him to leave the palace now, and it is extremely difficult to go back to the southwest, but since he has promised his uncle, he will never break his promise.Difficult to advance or retreat, Lou Chen was really hesitant and didn't know what to do...

Lou Chen was lost in thought, when he suddenly heard an exclamation in his ear: "Lieutenant Lou, what a coincidence, why are you here!"

When Lou Chen looked up to see the person, he was also surprised: "See Your Highness, Your Highness, why are you here?"

"My little uncle and I just came back from Huainan and were about to go home when we happened to pass by 'Liuweiju'" Gao Xian said, turning his body sideways, and it was General Yunhui Ning Zeyuan who followed him one step behind, "Just now in the building I glanced down and saw that it was somewhat similar to Captain Lou, so I thought of going up to have a look... It turned out to be true, Captain Lou hasn't seen you for a few days, is your injury better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, the officer's injury is almost healed."

Lou Chen just wanted to stand up and salute, but Ning Zeyuan was stopped: "It doesn't take so much courtesy to go out..."

"That's right, they're all old acquaintances. They're calling you back and forth. You don't think it's troublesome, but I do." Gao Xian also echoed, and after a few words, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, Lou Du Wei was so preoccupied with what he was thinking, I called you downstairs several times before but didn't hear you."

Lou Chen had no intention of sharing what was in his heart with others, so he just said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just heard a story told by a scholar, and I felt emotional for a moment, and remembered the past."

Unexpectedly, what he said attracted Ning Zeyuan's attention, and he listened patiently for a few words, then chuckled and said: "Listen to the story... Oh, isn't this the heroic deed of my brother-in-law? Lou Duwei didn’t say it earlier, the storyteller is just hearsay, so it’s not accurate. If Lou Duwei likes to listen, let me listen to this general’s speech for you.”

Lou Chen just wanted to say no, Gao Xian responded with great interest: "Little uncle can also tell stories? Why have I never heard of it?"

"That's because you are ignorant." Ning Zeyuan raised his eyes, and although he was speaking to Gao Xian, he never took his eyes off Lou Chen, "Which passage do you want to hear? Uncle told you well."

"Which part..." Gao Xian blinked his eyes, as if he was really thinking about it, and said after a while, "Let's start by borrowing troops from Shouzhou! Little uncle, why do you think grandpa is so brave? The situation in the capital was unclear at that time. The transshipment envoys of the six routes did not dare to act rashly, so how could he be the only one who dared to break the boat and follow his father to Beijing?"

"So you are naive..." Ning Zeyuan smiled, "If the knife rests on your neck, will you be willing or not?"

Lou Chen was still a little careless at first, but when he heard this, he was startled, and opened his eyes to Ning Zeyuan in astonishment.

"The knife rests on the neck..." Gao Xian heard this for the first time, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, before he said in a low voice, "Didn't everyone say that grandpa voluntarily helped the father? How could it be?" ..."

"The old man is not voluntary, it was forced by your father." Ning Zeyuan poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat and continued, "The situation back then was similar to this time, the Northern Qi army was suppressing the situation, and the situation in the capital was unknown. It's just that compared with the [-] soldiers now, it was much worse back then, King Jing, who had just arrived in the Northwest, had a weak foundation and only [-] soldiers and horses at hand."

"Northern Qi invaded the South, and he personally led an army to resist, but the enemy was outnumbered. After the attack, even [-] were lost, and only [-] were left."

"Later, the situation in Beijing was tense, and Prince Jing had to go back to King Qin of Jing. It's just that he couldn't move the 5 people, so he became cruel and only brought three hundred Qingqi."

"From northwest to Gyeonggi, he passed 21 states along the way, a total of six routes, but he didn't stop all the way. Instead, he took a long way and arrived at Huainan West Road." Ning Zeyuan paused, then turned to look at Lou Chen , "Do you know why?"

Lou Chen looked back at him and replied: "Because he doesn't have enough time, it is not suitable for a large army to march in a hurry. First, it will take a long time, and second, it will be easy to be exposed. But he can't be too close to the capital, otherwise he will be killed before he arrives in the capital." They will be stopped halfway, so His Highness Prince Jing chose Huainan West Road, which is less than two days away from the capital."

"Smart." Ning Zeyuan snapped his fingers, "Prince Jing is also a smart man, he has already expected what you said, and he also guessed that the transfer envoy might make an excuse not to send troops, so he saved the negotiation step , directly threatened with life."

"Of course, my old man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At that time, the future was uncertain. Just in case, it can be regarded as paving the way for the future. He also forced Prince Jing to make an oath. Ally."

"You also know what happened later. King Jing captured the outer city within three days of besieging the city." Speaking of this, Ning Zeyuan suddenly laughed, "It's just that in the end he didn't stay in the capital, nor took the opportunity to seize the throne Just after finishing the fight, I turned around and went back to the northwest, leaving a group of people watching the show dumbfounded..."

Gao Xian's temper is really free and easy. After hearing such unimaginable things, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he was interested in the danger and conspiracy. He pulled Ning Zeyuan's sleeve and asked: "Little uncle, how do you know so well?" , you were only in your early ten years when the incident happened..."

"You can't join the army when you are in your early teens?" Ning Zeyuan rubbed Gao Xian's head and said with a smile, "Your little uncle, I followed my father to suppress bandits at the age of □. Otherwise, you think my military achievements are so easy to come by?"

Gao Xian looked at Ning Zeyuan with eyes full of admiration, and sighed sincerely: "Little uncle, you are so powerful, you can kill the enemy and suppress bandits at the age of XX! However, the father is also very powerful, and you can fight together with General Lou. The Northern Qi cannot find the North."

"Your father is indeed very powerful. Immediately after the siege of the capital was cleared, he led an army northward, rushed in from the side, and dealt a severe blow to Bei Qi. After that, Bei Qi was afraid, and he didn't dare to go south easily, let alone on the border. Presumptuous." Ning Zeyuan said with a smile, "It's the same this time, after only two or three battles, and after finding out that Prince Jing hadn't left, those bastards in Northern Qi were scared, and now they are guarding the border line and dare not take any action. .”

"Father is really brave!" Gao Xian swallowed his saliva and said: "He is ruthless and decisive, he really has the style of a general. If it is changed, I will definitely lure him first, and move him with emotion and reason..."

"What if the lure doesn't work?"

"Treatment won't work?" Gao Xian thought for a moment, and said decisively, "Then threaten again! Put a knife on your neck and see if he is willing!"

"You..." Ning Zeyuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Gao Xian and said, "So, Captain Lou, none of the Gao family is a good person, and they are very good at doing things."

Gao Xian was very wronged: "Little uncle, why did you even scold me..."

"It's okay, you don't count, you are half at most." Ning Zeyuan put away his smile as he said, his face gradually sank, he turned to look at Lou Chen and said, "Lou Duwei, the Tian family is In this way, the grace and favor of the saints are only a matter of a moment. You traveled to the southwest to borrow soldiers, and at most you earned military merit for a while. But this honor, the person sitting on the dragon chair, can be withdrawn with a wave of his hand..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince can't stay on the throne forever. That day will come sooner or later. If you take a step back, a smart person will naturally know when to protect himself wisely." Ning Zeyuan narrowed his charming peach eyes slightly, with a hint of danger, " No matter what he said or did, just keep his identity in mind, Captain Lou, do you understand?"

Lou Chen was silent, how could he not understand these principles, the most ruthless emperor's family, honor and favor are only temporary, benefits are eternal.

"Your official understands." Lou Chen lowered his head slightly, "Thank you General Ning for reminding me, I am very grateful."

"You don't have to thank me." Ning Zeyuan flicked his finger on the table, and wrote a word with water, "In a few days, we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, Captain Lou, you should be more clear...OK The story is almost finished, and the tea is enough, let's go."

"That's the end of the story?" Gao Xian obviously still had some more to say, "Little uncle, please tell me more. What about the three-day siege of the city? Is it as thrilling as the day before yesterday?"

"If you want to hear it, go home and ask your father..." The voice got farther and farther away, and Ning Zeyuan went downstairs after talking, walking leisurely towards the end of the street.

On the other side of the long street, it is not anywhere else, but Hualiu Lane, the busiest place in the capital.

"Little uncle!" Gao Xian poked his head out of the window, looked at the direction he was going, and kept shaking his head, "I know that Sleeping Flowers Sleeping Willows is really unrestrained, and he doesn't look like a heroic general."

Lou Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Your Highness, don't worry, General Ning has his own measure."

"His sense of propriety is just inappropriate." Gao Xian murmured, "No, no, I have to go and see, there are some romantic affairs before the award is awarded, how can it be good."

Lou Chen couldn't stop him, so he said: "Your Highness, be careful, go early and return early."

Unexpectedly, Gao Xian had just taken two steps before turning his head back: "Captain Lou, let's make an agreement, no one can tell what happened today, especially..." He rolled his eyes before continuing, "Especially Ziqing, don't let him know that I went to Hualiu Lane, or he will have to ignore people for a few days."

Lou Chen nodded, and understood the meaning of his words: "The lower officials are naturally tight-lipped."

"Hey, that's good." Gao Xian waved his hand, "Then let's meet in Xizhou!"

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

After Gao Xian left, Lou Chen sat alone in the room, glanced at the word "broken" left by Ning Zeyuan, and remained silent for a long time.

He understands what Ning Zeyuan said, but there are always times when people can't help themselves, such as now, he knows what he should do, but in reality he can't help himself.

He has his ideas and his scruples, but there is no perfect way in the world.
