Wu Yu

Xie Lingyu's heart that had just been let go lifted up again, so that he could not die, he met Chonglu's eyes without paying attention, Xie Lingyu lowered his head calmly, and looked away.

Then he lifted his robe without hesitation, and knelt down in the center of the hall under the eyes of everyone. This kneeling was neither humble nor overbearing, and he said loudly: "I am willing to go."

The clear and gentle voice resounded in the silent crowd.

This sudden scene was astonishing, like a stone falling into a lake, splashing a lot of water, the ministers looked at each other, and Prime Minister Xie looked over calmly, with mixed worries and joys in his eyes.

Chong Lu didn't agree immediately, but asked meaningfully: "Oh? Mr. Xie get down first, and tell me why you want to go."

Xie Lingyu had sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a handsome and upright face. He was filled with righteous indignation at the moment, standing there with a slender figure, and said in a deep voice: "The plague in Fanzhen is imminent. I see that His Majesty just asked for a long time, but no one is willing." I just thought it was ridiculous. I would like to ask everyone here, what is an official and what is a citizen?"

"As a minister in the court, you can't share your majesty's worries, and local officials can't benefit the people. Now it's time to wait for me the most. If no one is willing to go, you will ignore the people and be disloyal to your majesty!"

"Xie is not talented, he is a fool who can only read sage books, but everyone who understands Xie also understands, why can't you do what Xie can do? Juniors shouldn't show such prestige, but now people's lives are at stake, and the plague It is no small matter, I hope Your Majesty and all the adults will forgive me."

Xie Lingyu frowned, with sadness and helplessness in his eyes. After saying this, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down, and said again neither humble nor overbearing: "I am willing to go to Fanzhen to rescue the epidemic!"

Chong Lu's eyes were full of obscurity, making it unpredictable.

After a short period of silence, I don't know who took the lead to kneel down, but I vaguely heard the voice of a young man, who said loudly: "I am willing to share the worries for His Majesty, and I am willing to work for the happiness of the people!"

Then everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, more and more people agreed, the older generation laughed and shook their heads, and they also knelt down one after another. At this moment, they looked at Erlang, who was tall and straight in the center of the hall, and saw the firm and upright spirit between his brows , I had a hazy idea in my heart.

This person should not be underestimated, and will become a great weapon in the future.

General Sun shook his head with a smile, and said inexplicably, "Don't bully young people into being poor."

Xing Shang nodded in agreement, although this kid from the Xie family doesn't have an official position now, but just today, he might not be far away from being on the rise.

Zhong Lu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Xie Lingyu who was kneeling down, and felt a lot more comfortable. This action saved him a lot of trouble. The courtiers are so cooperative.

It seems that this young master of the Xie family... can really be used. Now that Xie Lingyu has expressed his attitude, is it still far from Prime Minister Xie's surrender?

Today I got an unexpected surprise.

Chong Lu laughed happily, this time he really laughed heartily, making everyone laughing in fear, you must know that this is the first time His Majesty has laughed out of his composure.

Chong Lu didn't care about them, he went down to help Xie Lingyu up himself, Xie Lingyu faced him at close range, his heart trembled, but luckily Chong Lu just stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said with a smile: "The Xie family has a good man, I am very pleased."

Xie Lingyu cupped his hands in fear, "Your Majesty's praise."

Chong Lu shook his head, and slowly returned to his position, "Everyone is flat."

"I will have a drink with you all, and I wish Mr. Xie's family a smooth trip." He raised his glass and drank it down.

Everyone got up and had a drink together as promised, Xie Lingyu kowtowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, Lord Long En."

Chong Lu sat down satisfied, and waved his hand to signal him to return to his seat without courtesy.

Xie Lingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After going back to sit down, he realized that his palms were covered in cold sweat. He wiped his sleeves without any trace, and suddenly there was a peeled lychee in front of him. He followed his slender fingers upwards, He saw the expressionless face of "Sun Qian".

Xie Lingyu's heart choked up: "..."

Even though he knew it was Qingqiu Jue in Sun Qian's skin, he still felt weird, so he reached out to take it helplessly, and said politely, "Brother Sun is still caring."

As soon as the words fell, a handful of peeled lychees were handed over from the other side. He turned his head stiffly and met Xing Yaxian's smiling eyes: "Brother Yunlou, do I care?"

Xie Lingyu: "..."

Hard to say.

With his backhand, he took advantage of the spacious sleeve robe, and pinched Qingqiu Jue's thigh fiercely. Qingqiu Jue frowned and held his hand with his backhand, and said solemnly, "Brother Xie, why did you touch your lower thigh?"

Xie Lingyu stared: "?"

Although it was wrong for me to pinch you, it is too much for you to do this.

Seeing that Xing Yaxian's eyes were not right, he had no choice but to smile blandly, knocking down his teeth and swallowing, "I accidentally touched it just now, brother grandson, don't blame me."

Brother Sun nodded generously: "No problem."

Xie Lingyu turned her head and ignored him.

"You must also know that the people in Qingcheng were exiled to Zizhou because of the drought. Chong Lu put down his wine glass and said something without beginning or end.

This is really avoiding the important and taking the light of the light, it is clear that the people were squeezed by the corrupt officials to survive the drought, Xie Lingyu secretly slandered.

Naturally, Zhonglu couldn't hear his voice, looked at Master Dengji, and said with a smile: "When the national teacher played chess with me a few days ago, he mentioned a few things... Now that I have been on the throne for three years, this post has been vacant. I'm afraid it will affect the fate of the country."

"Dragon and phoenix bring prosperity, one is indispensable." Master Dengji lowered his head, and nodded without emotion when he heard the words, his indifferent voice seemed quiet.

Now that everyone knew more or less, the scene became noisy again, and everyone's eye contact was in full swing.

Prime Minister Xie frowned slightly, thinking of something, and looked at Xing Shang worriedly, but Xing Shang took a sip of wine leisurely as if he hadn't thought of anything.

Prime Minister Xie withdrew his gaze and lowered his head thoughtfully.

"I have no intention of loving my sons and daughters..." Chong Lu sighed, "Forget it, is Cao Xian from the Ministry of Rites here?"

"The minister is here." Cao Xian stood up and saluted.

Chong Lu nodded and asked: "Are there any girls in Beijing who are of the right age and whose horoscope matches mine?"

Cao Xian took out the roster from his arms, and all the ministers stared at the roster unconsciously during the silence, Xing Yaxian stared at the teacup in a daze, as if absent-minded, but in fact, the hands in the sleeves tightly choked herself, lest she would show her feet, Xie Ling Yu glanced at it from the corner of her eye, but couldn't comfort her.

It didn't take much time, Cao Xian stepped forward to present the roster to Chong Lu, said a few names in a low voice, Chong Lu nodded, waved him to go down, and Cao Xian retreated to the lower side to wait for orders.

The main hall was quiet again, several ministers with women of the right age at home had different expressions, some looked expectant and happy, some looked distressed and worried.

Zhong Lu was silent for a long time: "Xing Shangke is here?"

"The minister is here." Xing Shang saluted calmly.

"Is Miss Xing's family married now?" Zhong Lu asked casually, but his eyes were actually fixed on Xing Shang.

Xing Shang's complexion was as usual, and he even smiled: "The little girl has never been married, Your Majesty..."

At this moment, a woman suddenly stumbled and knelt down, covering her face and crying: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Xing Shang turned his head to look, and then his face changed drastically, and he scolded: "Yaxian, don't be rude!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, my daughter has no intention of offending..."

Chong Lu frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart, he waved his hands generously, "It's okay, what's the meaning of Miss Xing's family?"

Xing Yaxian wept pear blossoms with rain, and said submissively: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the little girl didn't want to mention this matter, for fear of losing the face of the family, she never dared to tell her father, but now..."

"The matter is very important now, my daughter dare not lie, I hope His Majesty will spare the Xing family, everything is my fault, please forgive me!"

While crying, she kowtowed vigorously. Xing Yaxian's daughter, who was spoiled and spoiled, had a thin skin and tender flesh, and soon there was blood on her forehead. Xie Lingyu lowered his head, the voice made him feel uncomfortable, and he didn't even dare to look up. Take a look.

Xing Shang's eyes turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yaxian... What are you doing stupidly, what are you talking about, are you protecting my father with a little girl?"

Xing Yaxian's face was pale and her body was staggering. Xie Lingyu clenched his fists and was about to get up to plead, but saw the people around him standing up suddenly. He stood upright and knelt beside Xing Yaxian to hold her firmly. He said in a deep voice: "Forgive me, Your Majesty. Yaxian is a woman with weak bones. Your Majesty should not be as knowledgeable as her."

Chong Lu's face darkened, he held back his thoughts, and his voice was suppressed with anger: "Today's banquet is just to make people happy, and if Miss Xing has anything to say, it doesn't have to be like that."

There was a flash of struggle on Xing Yaxian's face, it seemed difficult to speak, and finally she said in a compromised way: "The little girl is pregnant, and I am afraid that it will drag down the fate of the country, so..."

She didn't finish speaking, but the pot exploded underneath. Everyone has heard of the reputation of Miss Xing's family. She is beautiful and kind, and easy to get along with. How...why did such a bad thing happen?

Xie Lingyu couldn't help frowning, the melancholy in her heart couldn't get rid of. Although she had always been aware of the consequences of this incident, it still seemed to have a great impact on Xing Yaxian's reputation. Sister Yaxian was also a young girl.

Zhong Lu violently threw the wine cup, and the fragments that shot out flew in all directions in an instant, he said angrily: "It's unreasonable!"

Everyone fell to their knees in shock, muttering "Your Majesty, calm down." They were filled with sincerity and fear.

Xing Yaxian trembled all over, fortunately, Qingqiu Jue was supporting her steadily, and Xie Lingyu was also sweating coldly underneath.

Chong Lu calmed his breath, snorted coldly, and looked darkly: "Come here, go and invite the imperial physician, I want to see if your Xing family is putting on airs, or if you really care about the fate of the country."

Xing Shang's face was gloomy and ugly, and he stared at his daughter not far away with a shocked look, as if he really didn't know about it.

After a while, the imperial doctor and the little eunuch hurried over, both sweating profusely, and would kneel down to salute without saying a word.

Zhong Lu waved his hand impatiently, pointing to Xing Yaxian: "No, go and check this girl's pulse."

The imperial doctor nodded repeatedly, dragged his small medicine box to Xing Yaxian, carefully took out the cushion bag, put a clean white cloth on her hand, and then put his hand on it for the consultation.

After a while, he frowned, withdrew his hand, put the things in the medicine box, turned and knelt down and said, "Return to your majesty... this girl is pregnant, it is estimated that her qi and blood are weak, and the fetus in this womb is at most two months old." , there is a faint sign of a slippery tire, and it needs to be born well."

After he finished speaking, he found that there was silence around him, and his heart began to beat, thinking that he had said something that shouldn't be said.

Chong Lu nodded with a sinking face, "I see, let's go down."

The imperial doctor was just as if he had received an amnesty, and hurriedly resigned, but the others were not so lucky. Chong Lu's face was clouded, and everyone felt sorry for the Xing family. This has touched His Majesty's bad luck. It seems that the Xing family will sit on the bench It's gone, and they can't help but feel a bit of sadness for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Xing Shang was trembling with anger, his face was extremely ugly, and he said repeatedly: "Okay...that's really good..."

Before Zhonglu got angry, he shouted loudly: "Xing Yaxian, tell me, who is the father of this child?!"

This resounding sound was deafening, and the heavy killing fire was suppressed back.
