The weather is gradually warming up. Lu Zhao is very busy these days, busy with state affairs, and hasn't been free for a long time.

Ever since Marquis Qi left Qi State, Lu Zhao has been serving as the new King of Qi State, which is far more cumbersome than being a son.

At first Lu Zhao didn't get used to it, but luckily he survived with the help of his eldest brother Wu Kui.

Lv Zhao finally had a leisurely time these days, and in a blink of an eye, the weather has turned warmer, and it's getting hotter. Once the weather gets hotter, it's time for eldest brother Wukui's birthday.

Lu Zhao pondered, not knowing what kind of banquet to hold for elder brother, or what kind of birthday gift to give.

Lu Zhao came out of the small bedroom, followed by the eunuch and maids, and came all the way to the garden. Lu Zhao saw Wu Kui at a glance. Young Master Wu Kui was standing next to a big tree in the garden. When the wind blew, there was a rustling sound. There was a sound, and small pink petals fell down the branches, and fell on the skirt and hair of Mr. Wukui.

Young Master Wu Kui stood tall, with his hands behind his back, as if he was enjoying the scenery of the lake, he didn't move, he didn't shake off the petals on his head, he just stood there quietly, exuding a serene air.

Looking at the back of Young Master Wukui, Lu Zhao couldn't help slightly curling his lips. He walked softly behind Young Master Wukui, raised his hand, brushed his black wide sleeves, and gently brushed the petals falling on Young Master Wukui's head. down.

As soon as he moved like this, Young Master Wu Kui came back to his senses, turned his head to look at him, saw that it was Lu Zhao, smiled, and said, "Wu Kui pays homage to Brother Jun."

As he spoke, he was about to salute, Lu Zhao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, there is no need to be so formal, I have already said it before."

Young Master Wu Kui smiled, raised his hand to straighten his hair, Lu Zhao smiled and said, "There is still a petal here."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to pick the petals again.

Lu Zhao has grown into a tall, handsome young man. Lu Zhao's face is very similar to that of the Marquis of Qi. When he was a child, he may have been a little open. Now, the black royal court robe sets off Lu Zhao's tall figure. It looks majestic and bold.

Because Lu Zhao was very busy recently, Young Master Wu Kui hadn't seen Zhao'er for a long time, Young Master Wu Kui said, "Your brother, are you done with your political affairs?"

Lv Zhao said with a smile, "Thanks to the help of big brother, I'm done."

As he spoke, he dragged Young Master Wukui into the small building next to him, and dragged him to sit on the mat. The small building was by the water, where they could enjoy the scenery and rest. Tea and snacks.

Lu Zhao personally poured a cup of tea for Young Master Wu Kui, and Young Master Wu Kui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Wu Kui."

Lu Zhao said, "Brother, you haven't called me Zhao'er for a long time."

Young Master Wu Kui smiled and said: "Because the younger brother has grown up, now the younger brother is more than ten thousand, and he is the monarch of Qi. If Wu Kui calls the younger brother like this again, wouldn't it be rude? People complained."

Lu Zhao stretched out his hand to hold Young Master Wu Kui's hand, his palm became very big, he was no longer the eleven or twelve year old boy who was holding his elder brother's sleeve tightly, with a timid expression on his face.

Lu Zhao's palm was wide and with some strength, he covered the back of Young Master Wukui's hand, and said in a low voice, "Zhao'er will always be Big Brother's Zhao'er, and this will not change. At this time, can you still call your brother like this?"

Young Master Wu Kui saw that Lu Zhao was stubborn, he knew this brother best, so he nodded and said, "Zhaoer."

Lu Zhao seemed to be very happy, and hurriedly gave Young Master Wu Kui a meal, and said, "Brother, this is your favorite snack, eat two more yuan quickly."

Young Master Wu Kui watched Lu Zhao serve him a meal, so he respectfully ate it instead of obediently. Lu Zhao watched him eat the dim sum, so he took a sip of tea and said, "By the way, brother, your birthday is coming soon. , what kind of birthday gift do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Wu Kui put down the snack, took a sip of water first, and then said, "Zhaoer, is there such a question as a birthday present?"

Lu Zhao smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Zhao'er has been thinking about it, and I don't know what is the best gift, and I'm afraid that my elder brother won't like it, so... I think it's better to ask."

Young Master Wu Kui smiled and said: "No, elder brother doesn't want anything, Zhao'er doesn't need to worry about it, Zhao'er is already very busy on weekdays, if you have time, just take a good rest, don't worry about these little things."

Lu Zhao said: "How can it be a trivial matter? Over the years, my eldest brother has tried his best to help Zhao'er. Without my eldest brother, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to last so long."

Young Master Wu Kui said: "Zhao'er is the talent of the king, so there is no need to be so humble."

Lu Zhao said, "Brother, what I said is true. I want to please you. If you have anything you like, brother, just talk to me."

Young Master Wu Kui lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Brother doesn't want anything, if you talk about it...Brother wants to be by Zhao'er's side."

Lu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't that the end now?"

Young Master Wu Kui said thoughtfully, "Yes, that's right."

Lu Zhao couldn't understand his expression. He only thought that Young Master Wu Kui might have something in his heart, but he didn't say it out. Very deep, no one will say.

When the two were chatting and having tea, the eunuch came over, saying that it was the chancellor of the country Guan Yiwu, and several scholar-bureaucrats were begging to see him.

When Lu Zhao heard this, the state affairs came again, and Young Master Wu Kui said, "Let's go, Younger Brother, Wu Kui also feels a little tired, and now I'm going back to rest."

Lu Zhao nodded, and personally helped Young Master Wu Kui up from the table, and said, "Brother's complexion is not good, go back and rest well, if you feel unwell, you must call the medical officer to take a look at it, and at night... Zhao'er will come later Go and see big brother."

Young Master Wu Kui said: "Brother Jun is busy with business, don't forget to come and see, if Wu Kui is sick, he will ask the medical officer to come and see."

Because there were people waiting for Lu Zhao, it was inconvenient for Lu Zhao to say anything more, so he asked the eunuch to send Young Master Wu Kui back, and went to Lu's palace by himself.

Guan Yiwu, the Chinese chancellor of the Lu Palace, is already there, and there are some other scholar-bureaucrats. People from both sides did not come together, and each has its own business.

Guan Yiwu was not in a hurry, so I asked other scholar-bureaucrats to speak first.

The scholar-bureaucrat knelt down on the ground with a loud "Gudong!!" Lu Zhao was taken aback when he saw that the kings were sitting these days, but in later generations they became standing and finally kneeling, so kneeling is not popular nowadays. See the king.

Lu Zhao looked down and said, "Why does Aiqing show such a big gift?"

The scholar-bureaucrats looked sad and said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Our country of Qi is in danger! It is in danger!"

Lu Zhao frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"

Don't look at him when he was doing no harm to the young master, he seemed to be the same kid back then, but now that Lu Zhao has been honed in front of the officials, he also has the air of a king.

The scholar-bureaucrat quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Eldest Young Master has no faults because he is the elder brother of the Emperor. He has no law, deceives his superiors and his subordinates, and bullies others. It is an unforgivable crime. Please punish the Eldest Young Master severely!"

When he said this, several scholar-bureaucrats immediately "gudong!" Knelt down, and followed suit, saying: "The eldest son has no evil intentions, please learn from me, and make plans early!"

"The eldest son is spreading rumors outside, saying that he is the eldest son, and the king is the third son of the concubine. The eldest son should be the king, and the king..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard "Boom!!!", Lu Zhao slapped the table heavily, and shouted, "Nonsense!"

The scholar-bureaucrats were taken aback, and immediately responded, "Yes, yes, the eldest son is too nonsense, and those who spread rumors are also nonsense."

Lu Zhao gave them a cold look, and said, "Gu said you guys are messing around."

When he said this, the literati and bureaucrats were all frightened. Fortunately, before they stood up, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, everything the villain said is true! Everything is true!"

Lu Zhao's voice was still cold, and he said, "Every sentence is true? Over the years, the eldest son has fulfilled his duties for the foundation of the Qi country, and Gu Quan has seen everything in his eyes. Isn't it clearer than you?"

The scholar-bureaucrat hurriedly said: "Your...Your Majesty, you know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart!"

Lu Zhao snorted coldly, and said, "It's a good sentence to know people, face but not heart, even if I look at you too."

When Lu Zhao said it bluntly, the scholar-bureaucrat's expression changed immediately, he shivered, and he quickly winked at the people next to him for help.

Lu Zhao also said: "Gu has never been partial. If you have evidence, you can show the evidence that the eldest son has no law, deceived the superior and deceived others, otherwise..."

As Lu Zhao said, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If there are such rumors again, we will be punished severely!"

Those scholar-bureaucrats were frightened, kowtowed quickly, said "yes yes yes" a series of times, and soon left, and ran away in fright.

When those scholar-bureaucrats left, Lu Zhaocai let out a sigh of relief, as if he was in a very unhappy mood.

Guan Yiwu was still at the side, cupped his hands to Lu Zhao, and said, "Your Majesty."

Lu Zhao said, "What's the matter with the Prime Minister coming here? Surely he won't be with those people just now?"

Guan Yiwu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, Zhong is indeed not on the same side as those people, but it is a coincidence that Zhong also wants to talk to you about the eldest son."

Lu Zhao frowned and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Guan Yiwu said: "The reason why the eldest son was impeached by a scholar-bureaucrat is not because the eldest son has no law and has committed crimes, but on the contrary, the eldest son is dedicated to helping the emperor, which touched many scholars. interests, which has resulted in today's situation."

Lu Zhao frowned even more, and said, "The situation? What situation?"

Guan Yiwu said: "Your Majesty is a fan of the authorities. The current situation is that the eldest son has made great achievements. There are more and more supporters and more and more political enemies. Therefore, the two-day conflict has caused panic among many scholar-bureaucrats."

When he said this, Lu Zhao was silent for a while, and did not speak immediately.

Guan Yiwu said: "Your Majesty, although the eldest son is not wrong, you have already seen the situation now. Four or five doctors jointly impeached, this is just a beginning, in the next few days, more scholar-bureaucrats will want to jointly impeach Eldest son, what will happen next, have you considered it, Your Majesty?"

Lu Zhao looked at Guan Yiwu, and Guan Yiwu smiled and said, "It's nothing more than the fact that the eldest son's faction and political opponents have made a big move. Qi's party factions are in dispute, and the court is divided. These two forces seem to be pulling the rope in the court. There will always be One day, the Qi Council will collapse from within."

Lu Zhao narrowed his eyes, looked at Guan Yiwu, and said, "The Prime Minister...what do you want to say?"

Guan Yiwu paused for a moment, and said: "Zhong also thought that the eldest son was devoted to his duties, and there was nothing wrong with it. The fault was not with the eldest son, but the current situation is such that there is no need to delay. Your Majesty... there is no room for two tigers."

Lu Zhao didn't speak, Guan Yiwu said again: "Your Majesty, please consider, canonize the eldest son as Duke Sui."

"Mr. Sui?"

Guan Yiwu nodded and said, "Exactly, Mr. Sui."

Sui State is a subsidiary state of Qi State. When Lu Zhao went to Sui State to suppress the rebellion, in fact, the Marquis of Qi wanted him to be Sui Gong and lay his foundation.

Of course Lu Zhao remembered that at that place, he was almost disabled and was captured by the man. In the end, his second uncle and elder brother came to negotiate in person, and finally brought him back to Linzi City.

What Guan Yiwu meant was to confer the title of Prince Wukui as county magistrate Suigong, so that there would be no conflicts in Linzi City when the young master Wukui took office and went to Sui State.

Lu Zhao said, "Brother is not wrong, why did Gu demote him to Sui Kingdom?"

Guan Yiwu said: "Your Majesty, this is not relegation, but preservation. The situation is the same, the public opinion is the same, and the helplessness of being a king is also the same."

Lu Zhao seemed to be lost in thought, and suddenly remembered Jun's father back then. He really wasn't as good as Jun's father. For the sake of his second uncle, Jun's father gave up as soon as he said he wanted to, and left Qi directly, but even if he left, no one dared to say What a sentence, not just Qi, no one in the whole Zhou Dynasty dared to say anything.

And Lu Zhao...

Lu Zhao felt that he was still too young.

Guan Yiwu didn't speak any more, just waited quietly. Lu Zhao seemed a little tired, rubbed his forehead, and said, "If you have to think about it, the Prime Minister will step down first."

"Yes."

Guan Yiwu cupped his hands and said, "Zhong resigns."

As he said that, he respectfully exited the Lu Palace and went to the Political Affairs Hall.

Young Master Wu Kui was sent back to the house by the eunuch, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Chang Wei Ji.

Standing in the garden, Chang Weiji seemed to be waiting for him. When she saw him coming in, she rushed up to meet him and said, "No loss!"

As he was speaking, he saw Lu Zhao's eunuch beside Young Master Wu Kui, so he didn't speak immediately, and waited for the eunuch to leave, then he pulled Young Master Wu Kui and said in a low voice, "Son, something is wrong! "

Young Master Wu Kui said, "Mother, let's go inside and talk."

When the two entered the house, Chief Wei Ji said very anxiously: "Son, I heard that several scholar-bureaucrats are going to jointly impeach you!"

Young Master Wu Kui was calm, and he was not in a hurry when he heard this, and said, "Mother, have some tea."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for Chief Wei Ji.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Chang Weiji immediately said anxiously: "What kind of tea do you want? I can't drink it. Several scholar-bureaucrats are planning to impeach you. Do you know? Why are you in such a hurry!"

Young Master Wu Kui said calmly: "Son, I know that these scholar-bureaucrats are probably in the Lu Palace right now, impeaching my son with Brother Jun."

"what?"

Chang Weiji was taken aback and said, "Son, what is your plan?"

Young Master Wu Kui did not speak, and Chang Wei Ji immediately said: "Those people want to slander the king, son, what are you going to do? Are you still the king of the country? Are you the child who chased after you back then? Son, he has grown up. , it’s not like it was back then, and I don’t listen to you like I used to! Son, have you thought about this? If he protects you for a while, can he protect you forever? How can you be sure, under the pressure of public opinion, Wasn't it your good brother who stabbed you in the end?!"

When Young Master Wu Kui heard her words, he just smiled and said, "Mother, if others don't tell you, Zhao'er won't, never will."

"you……"

Chang Weiji seemed to be annoyed by him, and said: "No loss, you listen to your mother, and being with you is like being with a tiger!"

Young Master Wu Kui looked down at the teacup and said, "Mother, don't worry. In fact, my son has already made plans. My mother has suffered for my son over the years. My son will definitely let you enjoy your old age. Please rest assured."

Hearing what he said, Chang Wei Ji knew that Wu Kui was filial, but she felt uneasy and looked at Young Master Wu Kui hesitantly.

I heard Young Master Wu Kui say: "Let my son... think about it again."

The weather is getting hotter, and it will soon be Young Master Wu Kui's birthday. Young Master Wu Kui himself didn't prepare any birthday banquet, so everything was kept simple.

It's just that Lu Zhao wanted to hold a birthday banquet for him, and it had to be grand. It happened to be a bright summer, so the birthday banquet was specially held on the lake.

Lu Zhao asked people to build a few large boats for swimming in the lake, which were elegantly and beautifully arranged. The birthday banquet was placed in the boats, and a unique birthday banquet was held.

Young Master Wu Kui's birthday banquet has been prepared for a long time. In addition, Lu Zhao also prepared a gift. He asked Wu Kui before, but Young Master Wu Kui didn't say anything, so Lu Zhao had to choose the birthday gift by himself. , but I don't think those birthday gifts are too unique.

Just at this time, someone offered a beautiful jade. Lu Zhao saw that it was a good piece of jade, but it was just rough jade, which had not been carved.

When Lu Zhao got this piece of uncut jade, he immediately had an idea. He remembered that Jun's father had also carved jade for his second uncle before. Lu Zhao thought this method was good. If it was a ready-made birthday gift, he might not have put enough effort into it.

It took Lu Zhao a few days to polish and carve the uncut jade himself, and finally carved it into a small jade pendant, which can be hung on the waist as an accessory or around the neck.

Lu Zhao looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and couldn't help smiling, thinking that tomorrow would be the birthday banquet, and when the time came, he would give this jade carving to elder brother, wondering if elder brother would be very happy.

For tomorrow's banquet, Lu Zhao has been busy in the small bedroom today. He has been busy since he came back from court in the morning. He didn't eat lunch until late at night, and finally got busy with tomorrow's affairs. In this way, Tomorrow there will be enough time to hold a birthday banquet for my eldest brother.

It was already late at night after Lu Zhao finished his work, but he couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the small bedroom, followed by the eunuch and maids, and walked out slowly.

Lu Zhao didn't have any purpose, he just wanted to go around, and then went back to bed, but he didn't expect that he went to the courtyard of Gongzi Wukui as soon as he went around.

The courtyard was very quiet, there was no one there, and the young master had nothing to lose and didn't need someone to watch the night. Except for the occasional sound of guards patrolling, there was no other sound at all.

Lu Zhao stood in the middle of the courtyard, looked at the door of the house, stood quietly for a while, but didn't make a sound, the house was dark, and the people inside must have fallen asleep, so Lu Zhao didn't want to disturb him.

Lv Zhao stood for a while, and when he was about to leave, he heard a "squeak" and the window opened. Lv Zhao looked back, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with Young Master Wugui.

Young Master Wu Kui was dressed in obscene clothes, and was opening the window, when he saw Lu Zhao, he was taken aback and said, "Zhaoer?!"

As Young Master Wu Kui said, he hurried around the window, pushed open the door, pushed the door of the house open, and said, "Zhaoer, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

Lu Zhao smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just finished my political affairs and was about to rest, but I didn't feel tired, so I went out for a walk, and walked over to you, brother, without paying attention."

Young Master Wu Kui frowned and said, "Just finished your political affairs?"

His expression seemed to disapprove, and he said, "Zhaoer, pay attention to your body."

Lu Zhao nodded and said, "I see, big brother, go back and rest quickly, I won't disturb you anymore."

As Lu Zhao said, he wanted to close the door for him, Young Master Wu Kui stood inside the house, and Lu Zhao stood outside the house, closing the door for him with his own hands.

"Squeak—" the door closing action suddenly paused, the door was almost closed, but Lu Zhao's action stopped, Young Master Wu Kui thought for a while, and said: "Zhaoer wants to come in for a cup of warming." Tea?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhao smiled and said, "Really? Of course."

Young Master Wu Kui welcomed him into the house, Lu Zhao sat on the table, Young Master Wu Kui poured him a cup of tea, Lu Zhao picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "Brother, the tea here is sweet. .”

Young Master Wu Kui smiled and said, "After drinking tea, go to rest quickly, don't get tired, you know?"

Lu Zhao nodded, but after drinking tea, he still didn't leave and wanted to stay here overnight.

Young Master Wukui said helplessly: "Zhao'er, why are you still acting like a child, my place is nothing like a small bedroom."

Lu Zhao said, "It's just because there is a big brother here."

When he said this, Young Master Wu Kui had no way of refusing him. He chuckled lightly, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stroke Lu Zhao's cheek and hair, and said in a low voice, "It seems that you are still a child, and if you are so clingy to your elder brother, if you spread the word, you will be laughed at by the scholar bureaucrats." of."

Although Young Master Wu Kui said so, he did not reject him.

It was getting dark, so Lu Zhao stayed at the son Wugui's place for the night, and the two of them slept side by side on the couch. Although Lu Zhao said he was tireless, he just fell asleep on the couch after such a busy day, and slept soundly. .

Young Master Wu Kui opened his eyes and looked at the roof, his eyes were a little dazed, he kept watching the sky turn white, turned over, turned his head to the side, looked at Lu Zhao who was sleeping beside him, stretched out his hand to gently stroke his cheek, with a look of expression on his face. thoughtful look...

Today is the birthday of Young Master Wu Kui, the monarch specially prepared a birthday banquet for Young Master Wu Kui, and all the scholars and bureaucrats came to attend.

The location is still on the lake, and several large boats look very spectacular, docked side by side by the lake, and there have been an endless stream of scholar-bureaucrats boarding the boats.

Now the weather is warm and the flowers are bright, it is really a suitable day for swimming in the lake. Young Master Wu Kui has also arrived, and many scholars and bureaucrats bowed their hands to say hello to him.

After all, Young Master Wu Kui is the protagonist today, so many people fawned on him, but Young Master Wu Kui was indifferent, and returned the gift with his hand, but without too many greetings, he quickly boarded the cruise ship.

He boarded the cruise ship, and some scholar-bureaucrats whispered timidly behind his back.

"The eldest son is still arrogant."

"Exactly, as if I am so noble."

"After all, did your lord treat him generously, so I don't know how high the sky is."

"Just wait and see, sooner or later, your majesty will see him as a thorn in his side. After all, he was not born by a mother. Where did the heavenly family come from?"

"indeed."

Young master Wu Kui boarded the cruise ship and sat on the table. The table was already filled with delicacies. It could be seen that Lu Zhao worked very hard.

The eunuchs next to the palace are still constantly laying out delicious food, and the female wine is also coming in quickly, and the preparations are almost done.

The scholar-bureaucrats came in one after another, and soon heard the sound of noise. The crowd surrounded a man in black robe and walked in from the outside. The scholar-bureaucrats stood up and saluted one after another.

Young Master Wu Kui looked up, and it turned out that it was Lu Zhao who had come.

Lu Zhao was dressed very formally today. He was wearing a black court gown, and his hair was carefully combed. He looked good. Even though he stayed up late yesterday, he was still in good spirits.

When Lu Zhao walked in, Young Master Wu Kui hurriedly saluted, Lu Zhao helped Young Master Wu Kui up with his own hands, and said, "Brother, you don't look very good, did you sleep too late last night?"

Lu Zhao thought that it might be because he disturbed the eldest brother's rest, and he felt a little sorry, so Young Master Wukui said: "It's nothing, brother Jun, please take a seat."

Lu Zhao took his seat first, followed by Prince Wukui, and the scholars and bureaucrats took their seats one after another.

Lu Zhao was smiling, looking very friendly today, and said, "Today is my lonely elder brother's birthday, lovers don't have to be restrained, just drink freely."

The literati and bureaucrats handed over their hands to thank each other, and the banquet began soon. There was no scene, and it seemed very real.

The ladies came over to refill the wine one after another. Young Master Wu Kui drank three cups first, and his face suddenly became bright red.

Young Master Wukui has fair skin and blush easily, after drinking some wine, the color quickly appeared on his face, and his eyes became cloudy.

As soon as Lu Zhao turned around, he saw that his eldest brother was drunk. It was just the beginning, so he quickly smiled and said, "Brother, don't drink too fast. Eat some vegetables first. It's not good to drink on an empty stomach."

Young Master Wu Kui nodded, still kept his hand from the wine glass, looked thoughtful, then pursed his lips and said, "Brother Jun..."

When he said that, Lu Zhao smiled and said, "Brother, please tell me."

Young Master Wu Kui took a deep breath, as if drinking just now was to boost his courage, he said: "Today is Wu Kui's birthday, can Wu Kui... ask Brother Jun for a reward?"

When he said this, others looked at him strangely, because Young Master Wu Kui was really shameless for saying that, and he was still talking about asking for rewards.

And Lu Zhao wasn't unhappy at all, and said with a smile, "Of course."

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his wide sleeves and held it in his hand. It was a birthday gift prepared by Lu Zhao, a jade pendant carved by himself, and he was going to give it to Young Master Wu Kui later.

Young Master Wu Kui lowered his head slightly, a white and delicate neck was exposed from the white collar, his neck was covered with a layer of blush, the alcohol seemed to have rushed to his neck, he heard him say lightly: "Wu Kui would like to invite Brother Jun ...Give Sui State to Wu Kui as a fief."

When he said this, the officials were astonished, and everyone's eyes "swish—" all bet on Young Master Wu Kui, and Lu Zhao was also shocked.

manor? !

After Lu Zhao was shocked, he narrowed his eyes suddenly, his face darkened instantly, and said, "Brother, have you heard any gossip from other people?"

When he said this, his eyes turned instantly, and he glanced at the few scholar-bureaucrats who came to complain that day. Those scholar-bureaucrats were also frightened, and quickly lowered their heads, not knowing what Gongzi Wukui was doing.

Young Master Wu Kui was very calm, shook his head, and said: "No, it's just that Wu Kui has been in the palace for these years, and he has become more and more unsatisfied..."

When he said that, the officials were even more frightened. They looked at Young Master Wu Kui in shock. What Young Master Wu Kui said was too blunt and unsatisfactory. What is it?Of course it is ambition!

Lu Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Young Master Wu Kui, staring at him as if to see if he was telling the truth.

Young Master Wu Kui still lowered his head, and said calmly: "Wu Kui thinks he is a general, and he also has the talent to be a prime minister. It shouldn't be too much to ask your younger brother to make Wu Kui a county magistrate. After all, today is Wu Kui's birthday. Wu Kui So I want to ask my brother for this reward."

Listening to his words, Lu Zhao's complexion became more and more ugly. It was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The scholar-bureaucrats did not dare to speak, and looked at Lu Zhao and Young Master Wukui with trepidation.

It was a good day to have a birthday banquet today, but it turned out like this. The scholar-bureaucrats were walking on thin ice, for fear that they would be hurt.

Lu Zhao didn't say a word, just stood up suddenly, with a long black court robe, this action almost frightened the surrounding scholar-bureaucrats.

"Crack!!!", something was thrown in front of Young Master Wukui, on the table, there was a crisp sound, and another "crack" sound fell to the ground, it was a small cloth bag, and there seemed to be something inside.

Without saying a word, Lu Zhao threw the thing in front of Young Master Wu Kui, turned around and left.

Lu Zhao strode forward, walked out of the cabin, got off the boat, and went directly to the small bedroom with an ugly face, without looking back.

The literati and bureaucrats were relieved to see the monarch leave, and looked at the son Wukui with disdain, thinking that the greedy fox's tail had been exposed, and the monarch was also angry. .

The scholar-bureaucrats looked at Young Master Wukui with disdain, so they left one after another, got off the boat, and dispersed.

"Eldest son."

Guan Yiwu walked up to Young Master Wu Kui, and Young Master Wu Kui was still sitting on the mat, very calm, looking down at the small cloth bag that fell on the ground, there seemed to be something inside, and it was broken, making a crisp sound, like Yu, when the sound broke, it was ding ding dong dong, it was very pleasant to hear...

Hearing Guan Yiwu's voice, Young Master Wugui raised his head and looked at Guan Yiwu. Before Guan Yiwu could speak, Young Master Wukui had already said, "Please help Wukui to persuade the king."

Guan Yiwu didn't speak, but nodded, gave a deep salute to Young Master Wukui, then turned around and left.

The guests all left one after another, each one with different looking eyes, disdainful eyes, admiring eyes, and downcast eyes.

Amidst the constant gazes, Young Master Wu Kui stretched out his hand, slowly picked up the small cloth bag on the ground, held it in his palm, and opened the cloth bag.

Inside is a jade pendant, but it has been broken, with many petals broken. The top-quality jade is exquisitely carved, with green branches and leaves, and a small yellow flower on the top. .

Chang Di's jade pendant was shattered, the branches and small flowers were delicately carved, they were smashed to pieces at once, several small flowers fell off, Young Master Wu Kui picked up a small flower, held it between his fingertips, and slowly lifted it up, Put it on the tip of your nose and make a sniffing motion.

The banquet ended unhappily, Young Master Wu Kui carried the small cloth bag, packed the broken jade pendant and put it in his bosom, then got off the boat and returned to his courtyard quickly.

Young Master Wu Kui entered the courtyard, did not enter the house, but sat in the courtyard, even found a qin, put it on the case, stroked the qin lightly, seemed to be thinking about something, and then plucked lightly.

"Zheng——!!!"

There was a sound and it rushed quickly, and then Young Master Wu Kui put his hands on the piano and stroked it gently.

When Chang Wei Ji came outside the courtyard of Young Master Wu Kui, she heard the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano was a bit difficult, and the voice was hoarse repeatedly, with a trace of earnest emotion.

Chang Weiji shook her head, walked in and said, "No loss."

Young Master Wu Kui was still playing the piano, when he saw Chang Wei Ji walking in, he just nodded without stopping his movements.

Sitting in front of Young Master Wu Kui, Chang Wei Ji said in a low voice, "Wu Kui, Mother heard that you have offended the King today?"

Young Master Wu Kui did not speak, and was still playing the piano. Chang Wei Ji knew that he was acquiescing, so she said: "Wu Kui, you are so confused. You usually tell your mother not to be impulsive, but now you? You have angered Your Majesty." , Your Majesty left the birthday banquet angrily, this matter has already been spread in the palace, mother is already so old, she doesn't care about herself, but how will you live in the future?"

Young Master Wukui heard her say this, the sound of the piano finally stopped with a sound of "Zheng!", Young Master Wukui flattened his hands, and pressed a pair of white but powerful hands on the strings, blocking the sound of the piano, and then said lightly : "Mother, don't worry, Wukui knows Zhao'er best, just wait for the canonized edict."

Chang Weiji wanted to say something, but didn't speak, just sighed.

Lu Zhao went back to the nap, feeling uncomfortable. Naturally, he would not believe what Young Master Wu Kui said about his greed, but he still felt uncomfortable. The eldest brother had already noticed the differences in the court, so he wanted to leave voluntarily.

Lu Zhao sat quietly in the small bedroom for a long time, and after thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the small bedroom.

The eunuch and maid hurriedly chased after him, and followed Lu Zhao straight ahead. They all recognized this direction, which was the direction to the eldest son's courtyard.

Just walking to the gate of the courtyard, before entering, I heard bursts of piano sound coming from inside, playing something difficult, the tune is very difficult, with a kind of weak hoarseness, faintly coming from the depths of the courtyard.

Lu Zhao was about to step into the courtyard, but when he heard this song, he stopped in his tracks.

Chang Di...

When the people of Zhou entertained their brothers, they would sing Chang Di to express their brotherly feelings. This is the song that came out in the courtyard, but the voice was more difficult and not as cheerful as "harmonious and exquisite".

Lu Zhao's footsteps stopped at once, and he stood firmly outside the courtyard, listening to the sound of the zither. As soon as the sound of the zither was about to stop, Lu Zhao's voice rolled with difficulty, and he said in a low voice: "'Everyone today , nothing like a brother'."

He said, squinting his eyes, then turned around and walked out, without stepping into the small bedroom, he said to the eunuch, "Go and pass on the legend of the kingdom."

King Zhao of the State of Qi issued an order to confer the eldest son Wukui as Duke Sui, and the chancellor of the state, Guan Yiwu, issued an edict in person, that the son Wukui would take office immediately, and there must be no mistakes.

The scholar bureaucrats were all a little surprised, thinking that Lu Zhao would punish Young Master Wu Kui, but they didn't expect that in the end, the wish of Young Master Wu Kui was fulfilled, and he was given the title of Sui Kingdom and let him take office.

Young Master Wu Kui is about to take office, because he is a canonized county magistrate, so he has to leave with his family. Young Master Wu Kui has no wife and children, but only a mother, so the family is very simple, and the property is even more simple.

He is dressed in a white robe, riding on a white horse, followed by a black chariot, in which sits his mother, Chang Wei Ji, and there are no more than ten servants accompanying him, which is all his belongings.

Young Master Wu Kui's team went all the way to Linzi City, no one came to see him off, people he didn't know still despised him, but everyone who knew him knew that Young Master Wu Kui didn't need to see him off.

The team slowly walked to the gate of Linzi City, Young Master Wu Kui slowed down, and wanted to turn around to take another look at Linzi City where he was born and raised him, but Young Master Wu Kui didn't dare to leave because he was afraid of taking a look. Yes, just touched the position of his chest.

There was a small jade pendant hanging there, which was carved by Lu Zhao himself, but it was a pity...it was broken, with mottled spots all over it.

Just when Young Master Wu Kui was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sound of "Zheng——!", and the sound of the piano poured down from the top of his head. Young Master Wu Kui was startled, subconsciously raised his head, and saw Lu Zhao sitting in Linzi City. On the top of the city.

Lu Zhao was dressed in a black court robe, black jade hair, and neat clothes. There was a case in front of him, and there was a long piano. He played the piano with his hands calmly, his fingertips fluctuated, and the sound of the piano flowed.

Young Master Wu Kui looked up at Lu Zhao who was sitting high on the top of the wall, with trembling lips, he murmured, "Chang Di..."

At this time, Chang Wei Ji in the black car also opened the curtain, looked up at the direction of the city, and couldn't help but
