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

It was night, as soon as Lou Chen returned to the palace, Gao Yu greeted him: "Ah Chen, you are back. Concubine Mother has time to make some lotus seed soup today. I remember you like this most, so I ordered two more bowls." .Fortunately, it's still hot, come and taste it..."

Gao Yu walked towards the table while talking, but when he turned his head, he found that Lou Chen was still there, looking at him without blinking, with a trace of sadness in his solemn expression.

"Achen, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk?" Seeing this, Gao Yu hurried forward to hold Lou Chen's cold hand, and asked worriedly, "Achen, your hand is so cold, but what's wrong with you?" ?”

Just when he thought that Lou Chen would not respond, the hand held by him suddenly moved.

Lou Chen took out his hand, took two steps to the side, shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing."

But the more Lou Chen said it was okay, the more uneasy Gao Yu became. Seeing that Lou Chen was unwilling to answer, his brows furrowed even more: "Ah Chen, don't scare me, if there is anything, just tell me, between you and me What else can't be said? Chen..."

Gao Yu asked one after another, Lou Chen's dignified expression finally relaxed a little, he turned his head to look at Gao Yu, and said softly: "I met someone today...Your Highness, do you still remember when you were in Chuzhou? The guard who helped us leave?"

Just as Gao Yu was about to step forward, he paused: "Guards? Which one?"

"It's the one on the Chuzhou wharf. His name is Guan Yu, and he's the second-class guard of Prince Yu's mansion." Lou Chen turned his head to look at Gao Yu, "That day in Chuzhou, Weichen was made things difficult by the officers and soldiers patrolling the wharf. He was the one who rescued him." Weichen."

"Guan Yu." Gao Yu murmured, as if recalling, "There seems to be such a person, why, did something happen to him?"

"Your Highness, don't you remember him?"

"There are so many things that happened these days, how can the idlers remember so much." Gao Yu thought for a while, and asked, "If he is the guard of King Yu, why did he appear in the capital? Could it be that he was arrested?"

Lou Chen asked unwillingly: "Your Highness really doesn't remember him?"

"I really don't remember. There have been too many things during this time. You didn't see that the pile of papers in the Xuanzheng Palace was almost to the roof, but..." Gao Yu said as if remembering something, "The name is a It's a good name, but it's a pity that it follows the wrong owner, and it's a waste of effort to get famous."

"Your Highness." Lou Chen called out, raised his eyes to look at Gao Yu, his eyes as deep as a cold pool were half puzzled, half confused.

"Well, why is Ah Chen looking at me like this? Is there something you want to say?" Gao Yu seemed to have a feeling, and asked tentatively, "Ah Chen, are you worried about him and want to intercede for him?"

Seeing that Lou Chen didn't answer, Gao Yu thought he had guessed right, and said a bit embarrassed: "If Ah Chen really wants to intercede for him, it's not impossible, but King Yu committed the crime of treason, since Guan Yu is in the residence of Prince Yu If he is a second-class guard, he should be a domestic servant who has signed a contract, and he will be punished according to the law. Even if I want to pardon, I have to have a reason not to, otherwise how can I stop the mouth of the speaker?"

"Achen...Achen?"

Lou Chen stared at Gao Yu closely, trying to see even a trace of guilt and deceit, but he failed. Those soft and pretty peach eyes were full of his appearance, affectionate and worried , but without any hypocrisy.

After a long time, he finally gave up on asking, just shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, no need."

What is the use of asking for forgiveness now, people are already dead.

The two stayed in the palace for a long time that day, but until they left, Lou Chen never mentioned this matter again.

This made Gao Yu very uneasy. He was worried that Lou Chen might have discovered something, and he was also worried that he might not have discovered it. He was just guessing and probing, whether he might miss something in his panic.

He was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't ask directly, so he could only inquire about Lou Chen's thoughts.

But after that day, Lou Chen seemed to have returned to the time when they just met again, asking three questions and not answering one, calm and restrained, leaving some leeway in everything.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and he seemed to have made a decision.

Gao Yu was devastated by this, but compared to this matter, what troubled Gao Yu more was yet to come.

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Renpu joined the Tianlao Guard Commander, but Gao Yu didn't want to be involved, so he complied with his wish and demoted the Commander to three ranks, and sent him to Huainan to arrest the remnants.

Unexpectedly, this relentlessness gave the courtiers a chance to persuade Gao Yu to ascend the throne earlier on the grounds that the people's hearts were unstable and the world was uncertain.

You don't need to read the papers, but you have to go to the morning court. Gao Yu was so annoying that he didn't even go to the Xuanzheng Hall after the court, but went directly to Lou Chen's place.

Lou Chen seldom went out in the past few days, so he read military books in his room when he had free time, and Gao Yu moved a bench for nothing, took a few books and read them together beside him.

The two looked at each other for a long time and didn't speak, until Gao Yu saw the petition in the booklet of the Ministry of Officials asking for officials to be transferred, and immediately became angry.

"These people are really reversed. Could it be that if I don't ascend the throne, the world will be in chaos and the people will not be able to live?"

Originally Gao Yu just wanted to complain, but Lou Chen put down his strategy book after listening to it, and said calmly, "Your Highness should be enthroned."

Gao Yu was taken aback for a moment, and his hand on the booklet trembled: "Why is Ah Chen, like those old fellows in the court, concerned about this matter?"

Lou Chen didn't answer, just looked at him fixedly, and continued: "In troubled times, people's hearts are separated. If His Highness does not ascend the throne, the people's hearts will indeed be unstable, and the world will not be settled for a long time. This time is of no benefit to the people. Yes...Your Highness, it's time for you to ascend the throne."

The high-sounding reason is irrefutable, Gao Yu was angry, and still insisted: "If you don't ascend the throne, the father is still alive. It is a great disrespect to ascend the throne at this time."

"The Holy Majesty has already written the abdication edict, and His Highness is not disrespectful."

"You..." Gao Yu finally couldn't hold on anymore, and asked Lou Chen's shoulder, "Why is Ah Chen so eager to urge me to become the throne, but what did the emperor say the day before yesterday?"

Originally, Gao Yu didn't mention it, but the two of them tacitly agreed, just like what Gao Xian said, they pretended that nothing had happened.

But since Gao Yu mentioned it, Lou Chen naturally couldn't avoid it anymore, he just shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness, I just feel that His Highness should indeed be enthroned."

"If I am enthroned, I need to be rewarded for my merits. Ah Chen really wants to leave so much?" His affectionate eyes drooped, Gao Yu said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Chen knows why I have been reluctant to ascend the throne, and also understands Knowing what I'm waiting for, why do you still force me like this. Ah Chen, do you know that you are like this, you might as well kill me."

Gao Yu's eyes sparkled, and tears filled his eyelashes, Lou Chen was momentarily stunned.

He didn't understand why Gao Yu could always put on a sincere look when facing him, but he could hide the truth when he turned around.

How long is he going to act in this play, and how long is he going to lie to himself?Isn't he tired of living with a false mask?

Gao Yu is not tired, but Lou Chen is already tired. The entanglement between the two lives has exhausted all his mental energy. He has no energy to distinguish which of Gao Yu's words is true and which is false, and he has no energy to figure out how sincere he is. .

Uncle's exhortation, Ning Zeyuan's reminder, Guan Yu's last request, these days often resound in his heart, and Lou Chen always wonders why this situation has come to this day.

It was later discovered that it was just because the authorities were delusional.

Being in it is like getting lost, and jumping out of chaos will make your mind as clear as a clear spring.

When there are constant interruptions, he will be subject to chaos. It is because he thinks too much that he has trapped himself in the situation. Some things don't need to be so clear at all, only one result is needed.

It's time to make a quick cut.

Closing his eyes, instead of looking at Gao Yu's affectionate and worried eyes, Lou Chen finally made a decision.

Sighing lightly, Lou Chen said in a low voice, "I will not return to the northwest."

"I won't give up, Chen, even if you want to leave..." Gao Yu suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, "A Chen, what did you just say? But I heard it wrong?"

Lou Chen said in a serious voice, "I will not go back to the northwest with His Royal Highness."

"real!?"

Lou Chen nodded.

Gao Yu was still a little unbelievable, and asked cautiously: "Achen, do you know what this means... But you have really thought about it, so you won't go back?"

Without hesitation, Lou Chen said firmly, "I won't go back."

The surprise came so suddenly, Gao Yu didn't know what to do for a moment, he couldn't sit down, he couldn't stand up, he went around the room before he ran to Lou Chen, and asked without thinking: "Then Why is Chen always avoiding me these days?"

"Just thinking about something."

"Have you figured it out now?"

"Well, figured it out."

Think thoroughly and clearly.

"It's good if you figure it out, it's good if you figure it out..." Once the dream came true, Gao Yu couldn't believe it, "Achen, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day...I..."

"Your Highness!" Looking at Gao Yu who was almost crying with joy, Lou Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "Is Your Highness still enthroned?"

"Deng, listen to Ah Chen!" Gao Yu replied immediately, "I will inform the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to prepare for enthronement."

After saying that, like a little daughter-in-law, he took Lou Chen's hand and swore to the sky: "Ah Chen, I really don't know what to say...but I, Gao Yu, swear here that I will never let you down in this life." , otherwise, there will be five thunderbolts from the sky, and you will fall into the animal realm in the next life."

"En." Lou Chen didn't break free this time, he looked down at the hands they were holding, and responded softly.

In the 18th year of Shande, Emperor Shande was grateful to the world and abdicated as the prince.

In the same year, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the name of the year was changed to Wende, implying the rule of the world by virtue, educating people with virtue, celebrating the celebration of all officials, and returning all people to their hearts.

On the fourteenth day of the ninth month, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and rewarding meritorious deeds in the Golden Luan Hall.

Gao Yu, who was in a good mood, was extremely generous to the heroes. Not only did he award Gao Xian, Yu Ziqing, Ning Zeyuan and other generals, but he also personally gave silver ten thousand taels to those soldiers who participated in the war. Thousands of dollars.

Those who made mistakes will redeem their crimes, and those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded. The courtiers are all happy, but Lou Chen is the only one who remains silent.

On the day before the enthronement ceremony, Gao Yu ran up to Lou Chen and mentioned the reward.

But Lou Chen asked for everything, he only said to follow the rules.

Gao Yu was overjoyed for a moment, so he decided to make his own decisions. He appointed Lou Chen as the Minister of War and Commander of the Front Palace, guarding the capital and keeping the imperial city safe.

After rewarding others at this time, when it was Lou Chen's turn, Gao Yu was so excited that he didn't even ask the eunuch to announce the decree, but announced the reward himself: "Lou..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Lou Chen suddenly stood up and interrupted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do, please."

Gao Yu's heart skipped a beat, he had an ominous premonition, just as he wanted Lou Chen to step down and talk about it after something happened, Lou Chen was already one step ahead of him, kneeling in front of the hall.

The clear and bright voice resounded like a bell, resounding through the palace, and beating Gao Yu's heart like a drum.

"The minister, Lou Chen, is grateful for the kindness of the sage. He has nothing to repay in this life. He only wishes to inherit his father's wishes and station in the southwest, to protect the safety of his Majesty and keep the eternal peace."

After saying that, he kowtowed his head and made a big salute: "I hope Your Majesty will do it!"
