Even though he knew that the other party was a young woman, for a young man like Bai Yiling, he just got scratched by her accidentally, and it didn't affect him at all, Lu Mo was still distressed and annoyed.
She owed this child so much since she was a child, Bai Yiling was the family's deathbed, if she didn't say this on behalf of her son, she would have lived in vain if she became a mother.
Hearing Sang Hongrui's words, she said lightly: "We can afford the medicine ourselves, so we don't need to bother."
Sang Hongrui was stunned for a moment, and wanted to hear what Lu Mo meant. The matter seemed to be over, so he felt that he should lower his posture, and said, "That's it. The princess is our prince's sister, everyone. We are all a family, so there is really no need to get angry over some trivial matter. After I go back, I will find a few more interesting pets, train them, and send them to the mansion for the young masters and ladies of your mansion to keep them for fun."
She felt that she was very polite to say such a thing, and she couldn't help but add: "Besides, the fox was not hurt, but it's nothing... Your lord shouted and killed, which made me a little angry." I didn't suppress my temper. With all due respect, if a person takes a beast too seriously, wouldn't it appear that he is no different from it?"
When this girl is not yelling, she is really good at talking, and it is really annoying.Lu Mo glanced at her, and said with a half-smile, "Anyone who takes animals seriously is an animal. That's how it is. You've really been educated."
She told the people around her: "Bring us Jiaojiao out, and say hello to Ms. Sang Hong as well."
Sang Hongrui was wondering what Jiaojiao was, and all the servants of the Sheng family agreed. Several servants walked up to Sang Hongrui, grabbed her arm, and dragged her to Lu Mo.
Sang Hongrui struggled wildly and said loudly, "What are you doing!"
Lu Mo said lightly: "Why are you arguing? If you hadn't talked so much nonsense, how could you have provoked me so much that I couldn't hold back my temper? Do whatever you are asked to do!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her chin, and Sang Hongrui screamed suddenly, and found that there was a big cage in front of her, and there was a big python in the cage.She struggled desperately, but was dragged to the front of the cage little by little, so close that she could see the patterns on the python's body clearly.
Lu Mo said: "Hey, what's your name? The boa constrictor is just an animal. I invite you to watch it for fun. Concubine Sang Hong, don't take it seriously."
Sang Hongrui's entourage couldn't just sit idly by seeing this scene, but just as they stepped forward, they were blocked by the guards of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.
Bai Yiling quietly approached Lu Mo, and whispered, "Mother, she said just now that she was pregnant... so, are you okay?"
Although Sang Hongrui is very hateful, and her screams are so full of anger, Bai Yiling feels that what she said just now is just pretending, but no matter how innocent the child is, especially the flesh and blood of the Lu family, he still has to mention it more. One sentence.
Only then did Lu Mo understand why her youngest son was scratched by Sang Hongrui's nails just now, her expression froze slightly, and she walked over and grabbed Sang Hongrui's wrist to feel her pulse.Although he is only familiar with medical skills, Lu Mo can still tell the pulse of a woman's pregnancy.
After a while, she sneered, instead of shaking Sang Hongrui's hand away, she personally grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the front of the cage. Sang Hongrui couldn't resist and closed her eyes in fright.
"Look at my son's good intentions, so he is full of nonsense, right? I'm really curious, how can I make you have such a memory."
Lu Mo pushed her head forward and shouted, "Look carefully!"
Sang Hongrui didn't dare to look at the scene in front of her, but there was something cold on her face, which made her feel hairy, and there were exclamations around her. She couldn't bear it, and opened her eyes suddenly.
What came into view was a pair of triangular eyes with a sinister green light, and the bright red letter was spitting out, almost licking the tip of her nose.
——Her hair was pulled, her head could not move, her face was pressed against the cage, this scene made the hairs stand on end all over her body.
This is really fatal. Although the boa constrictor is locked in a cage, Sang Hongrui's entire face is firmly attached to the grid made of copper wire. If the boa constrictor really wants to bite, it can definitely get her .Besides, even if you don't get bitten, it's disgusting!
Sang Hongrui's heart rose to his throat, and a hysterical scream came out from his throat. The voice was so sharp that everyone around him had goose bumps.
But this time everyone feels the same way. Although the pets here are domesticated and trained, facing such a big python at close range can really scare people to death.
But who made her deserve it?
Sang Hongrui was in a panic, holding the ground with her hands, trying to keep her body away from the cage, but she couldn't resist the strength of several people, and the resistance seemed futile, and she was about to collapse.
The boa constrictor looked at the woman blankly, feeling very frightened, and shrank cautiously into the cage.
Sang Hongrui watched it squirm, with goosebumps all over her body, almost crying.
Lu Mo said lightly: "It didn't hurt you, it was just a little frightened, what are you calling for?"
Sang Hongrui cried bitterly and shouted, "Let go of me! Let me go! I was wrong, I was really wrong, and I dare not do it again!"
She was so frightened that she cried loudly, "Please let me go!"
This is a coward who is strong on the outside and wants to provoke people everywhere, but he just pressed her on top of the snake cage, it didn't hurt or itch, so he was so scared?If she killed Bai Yiling's raised fox with that arrow, she would really not be able to pay for her death, but Lu Yu's identity is not easy to disclose.
Lu Mo directly opened the door of the cage, grabbed Sang Hongrui's head and stuffed it in. The cage is so huge that it's not a problem at all to complete this action.Sang Hongrui felt that his face had touched the cold, scaly skin of the python, and his whole face turned pale with fright, and he almost bit the snake when he screamed.
Bai Yiling said: "Mother, forget it, I think Jiaojiao is going to freak out."
This snake looks thick and big, but in fact it has a very docile temperament and is not a poisonous snake. It was injured two months ago and was picked up by Bai Yiling to raise it. He planned to put it back when it recovered. Sheng Ying gave the snake a mask. The name is Jiaojiao.
Lu Mo let go of his hand, and Sang Hongrui's body was paralyzed all of a sudden, and then he reacted in a jerk, hurriedly pulled his head out of the snake cage, and almost crawled back to hide for a long distance, wow He spit it out.
She felt that she would never forget the feeling of despair and terror just now in her life. She cried and vomited, trembling all over, and barely stood up after being pushed off the ground by two maids.
Lu Mo walked up to her, with a look of disdain on her beautiful face, she said blankly: "Why are you crying, you are not hurt, don't do this to me!"
She squeezed Sang Hongrui's face with her hands and twisted it, and said: "Next time, if I see you being disrespectful to my son, I don't care who your father is, I will definitely throw you into the snake pond to be imprisoned." Three days and three nights, remember?"
Sang Hongrui was trembling, unable to speak for a while, and nodded like a pounding garlic.
Lu Mo put her hand into the cage, and patted the limp boa constrictor comfortingly. The boa constrictor was cared for, looked at her aggrievedly, and vomited again.
Lu Mo said: "You, you are really cowardly. You should see more wicked people. You should gain more experience. If you leave in the future, you will not be arrested again."
While talking, He Zicheng also came over. Lu Mo was polite to him and said, "Boss, my snake scared away many of your guests just now. You can calculate the loss and let the servants pay you back later." .”
He Zicheng smiled nonchalantly: "Madam is too polite, I should just thank Madam, otherwise the longer this matter drags on, the more it will affect my earning money."
Sang Hongrui twitched from crying, couldn't even stand firmly, and didn't care about what He Zicheng said, and was helped by the servants to the carriage and left.While walking, she looked back cautiously, for fear that Lu Mo would stop her suddenly again. When she finally put down the curtain of the car, she was already drenched in cold sweat.
Bai Yiling quietly observed He Zicheng. This person seemed lazy, but in fact he was shrewd. He was not like an ordinary scholar. He was either gentle and humble, or self-proclaimed. There is no prejudice, but if someone who also took the exam with He Zicheng saw it, he would naturally murmur in his heart.
He was thinking about the other party's behavior in his heart, and suddenly he was patted on the head. Lu Mo said angrily: "Silly boy, why are you so dazed? Look at your little face, it's all scratched. Hurry up and get on the carriage with your mother."
Bai Yiling came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's not that serious."
Lu Yu licked his hand.
After getting into the carriage, Lu Mo scrubbed Bai Yiling's wound, applied medicine, and carried the fox over for a check. Bai Yiling briefly told her and Sheng Duo what had happened.
Lu Mo looked disgusted: "This girl is really lawless, she is used to being frivolous, and she still thinks that the capital is their Youzhou? After returning to the mansion, I have to send someone to talk to King Linzhang and Sang Hongjin. She is right What other people do is her business, and it's not okay to provoke my son."
Bai Yiling laughed straight after listening, Sheng Duo said: "Mother is powerful, she is majestic!"
Lu Mo was still a little angry at first, but she couldn't help laughing when the two of them said this, but she made up her mind to send people to the houses on both sides to file a complaint so that Sang Hongrui could remember it.
Bai Yiling didn't go with his mother and elder brother, he still wanted to talk to He Zicheng, after bringing Lu Yu out, Lu Yu stepped on Bai Yiling's shoulder with a distressed expression, rubbing his ear against his face.
Bai Yiling felt itchy, and pushed him away with a smile: "Okay, it doesn't hurt."
Lu Yu said: "Sang Hongrui is really lawless. In fact, when the emperor was in power, he told me that at first someone persuaded him that marrying Sang Hongrui to Lu Qi would easily cause the King of Linzhang to join hands with the King of Youzhou. He also had this worry at first, but after seeing Sang Hongrui later, he didn't take it seriously."
Bai Yiling smiled slightly, as if he knew what Lu Yu was going to say, but he had no answer.
Lu Yu said: "If she and Lu Qi were not together, the two might still have some affection for each other. On the contrary, after becoming a husband and wife, such relative disputes pass day by day. I'm afraid that the longer the time, the greater the rift. I didn't deal with her at first, and I waited for Lu Qi to do it himself. But this time it was unbearable. After a while, I ordered to reprimand Sang Hongjin and King Linzhang separately, and just lock this woman up. It saves money. Provoking right and wrong."
Bai Yiling said slowly: "Don't think too easily about the King of Linzhang. He acts calmly and takes every step of the way. Although sometimes he may be procrastinated, as long as he does something, he rarely makes mistakes."
Bai Yiling's understanding of Lu Qi is deeper than most people, even if he is tired of Sang Hongrui, but everyone has already entered the palace, Lu Qi will not let this move become a waste.But how to prevent those who were offended by Sang Hongrui from accruing this account to him, and how to make Sang Hong's family work for him is Lu Qi's skill.
Lu Yu knew that what Bai Yiling said was reasonable, but he still cared a little bit because of the very clear tone of the other party, so he drew a long and sour voice, "Mmm--".
Bai Yiling pinched Lu Yu's big tail, and said with a smile: "Don't be so obedient here, I have something serious to tell you, do you want to save your fellow clan?"
Because of the incident just now, Lu Yu got into a dead end, and didn't think about anything else for a while, and asked strangely: "What?"
Bai Yiling said: "You hate the big red fox that can't be made of steel. Sang Hongrui was frightened by my mother, and he hasn't recovered from it now, but when he thinks about it after a while, he probably wants to vent his anger. That fox is so stupid. What if she killed her?"
When Lu Yu thought about it, it made sense, Sang Hongrui was definitely someone who could do such a thing.
Bai Yiling patted the fox's butt: "I'll go see He Zicheng, you save the fox, we'll meet up in front later."
When Lu Mo and Sheng Duo left just now, they insisted on leaving the guards behind, and there was no need to worry about Bai Yiling. Lu Yu thought for a moment, nodded, turned and ran away.
When Bai Yiling returned to the cockfighting arena, he didn't know what method He Zicheng used. The episode just now didn't interrupt people's interest in the pet competition. Seeing that everything was fine now, the arena quickly became lively again.
Bai Yiling saw his position at a glance, so he walked around from the outside of the arena to look for him in a low-key manner.
Without Lu Yu's red company, Bai Yiling, who was wearing the wrong green clothes, felt more comfortable. He secretly prayed that Lu Yu would run farther and come back slower when he rescued the fox, and it would be better to wait for him to return to the mansion Come back after changing clothes.
The little fox, who didn't know anything, was running hard, and if Ah Ling needed him, he had to be there.
"Master, this son is looking for you."
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, He Zicheng was leaning on the seat, with a smile on his lips, and he was lazily watching the game below, looking like a rich and idle man, knowing that the old housekeeper in his house said something , he raised his head and saw Bai Yiling.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Young Master, why did you go back and forth, but did you leave something here?"
Bai Yiling said: "Young Master He, smart people will cover up themselves, but it's a bit boring to pretend to be confused after knowing what other people are coming for."
He touched the tea cup that He Zicheng had just put down with his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "The tea is cold."
He Zicheng's expression froze slightly, and after a pause, he stood up from his seat, saluted Bai Yiling, and said, "Master Bai knows everything, I can't hide anything from you, I am self-righteous."
The old butler next to him looked at this scene in surprise, not understanding what happened just now, which made He Zicheng change his attitude all of a sudden.
He hesitated, wondering if he should leave, He Zicheng had already turned his head and said: "Uncle Zhong, clean up the reception room, I want to entertain distinguished guests."
Uncle Zhong quickly nodded in agreement, and Bai Yiling followed He Zicheng into a two-story building not far behind the cockfighting arena. He Zicheng asked him to sit down, and he himself sat down opposite Bai Yiling. .
He poured tea for the two of them, and Bai Yiling thanked them, and said, "Did you send someone to the street to deliver the news to my mother and brother?"
He Zicheng smiled and said, "Master Bai has already guessed it, so it's pointless to deny it. That's me."
When they were in the carriage just now, Lu Mo said that she and Sheng Duo came here because they heard someone on the street saying that Master Bai was on the west side of the city.It's just that there were not many people around who could recognize him at that time, so how could this news spread to the street?Someone must have reported it on purpose.
Of course, this behavior cannot be said to be out of concern for him.The biggest benefit of Lu Mo and Sheng Duo coming over is that Sang Hongrui can end his madness sooner and the business can continue. Of course, He Zicheng, the boss, is the most motivated.
So if he did it, Bai Yiling knew that He Zicheng must have guessed his identity and purpose.
He went straight to the topic: "Thank you so much. Mr. He, why do I come to you without further ado, some people suspect that you will cheat in the exam, do you know?"
He Zicheng said, "I know."
Bai Yiling raised his eyebrows: "Just these two words?"
He Zicheng said with a smile: "The clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid. Anyway, no one believes what I said. Please investigate."
His smile was a little rascal, a little lazy, with a kind of indifference to everything.Bai Yiling looked at him and pondered for a moment, then said: ""The Doctrine of the Mean", righteous oneself and not asking others, a gentleman has no complaints."
He Zicheng looked at Bai Yiling, and didn't realize what he was going to do for a while. He saw that the other party was just looking at him quietly. He rubbed his forehead before he suddenly realized that the other party was actually going to use "A gentleman acts according to his position, and he doesn't want to be outside of it." Do the topic to test him, ask him to write an article.
This man is really...
He Zicheng smiled in his heart, and opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he paused suddenly, and looked up at Bai Yiling.
After Bai Yiling finished giving him the questions, he leaned back in the chair and looked at He Zicheng with a smile on his lips. His eyes were not sharp, but there was an invisible pressure.The dark green clothes set off his red lips and white teeth, and his demeanor was fresh and dusty. He was supposed to be a beautiful boy who made people fall in love with each other, but he had an imposing manner.
He Zicheng opened his mouth, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said, "I won't."
Bai Yiling's gaze made the leisurely look on his face disappear, and he became uncomfortable.
He Zicheng avoided his eyes and said: "Before the scientific examination, I memorized it by rote, but now I have almost forgotten it."
Bai Yiling didn't ask further questions, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and said, "It's also human nature."
He Zicheng looked at him in surprise, Bai Yiling smiled at him, and asked again: "Can you play Go?"
When he was talking, looking at the vertical chessboard in the corner of the room, He Zicheng heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, and said, "Rough knowledge."
Bai Yiling said: "You bring it and accompany me to the next game."
For this sake, even if He Zicheng wanted him to leave quickly, there was no room for him to refuse, and Bai Yiling was simply ordering him.He touched his nose, smiled wryly and brought the Go chess over and placed it on the table.
The two guessed, Bai Yiling held the black chess first, and said at the same time: "Mr. He's wish, is it for a high official and a rich salary, or for a rich man?"
He Zicheng thought for a while, followed him, and said, "Being an official or a businessman has its own advantages, but my father hopes that I can honor my ancestors and do my best for the court."
He had just finished playing the chess in his hand, and Bai Yiling immediately followed him: "It seems that your father loves you very much. Now that Young Master He has reunited with Yuan in high school, it can be regarded as fulfilling the old man's wish."
He Zicheng said: "Lord Bai, don't be joking. The situation is uncertain now. If my membership is withdrawn, then there is no wish or dislike."
After he finished speaking, Bai Yiling dropped a pawn, and He Zicheng's expression froze slightly, and then he picked up the few white pawns in the middle of the chessboard.
Bai Yiling said: "Whether you cheated or not, Mr. He knows best. Before I have any evidence to prove it, your grades are there, and you are Huiyuan. How can you say it is a joke?"
When he was talking, he was twisting the chess pieces in his hands, and staring at the chessboard with his eyes, as if he was careless, but at this moment He Zicheng was already extremely careful in his heart.
He felt as if he had made a mistake and said the wrong thing.Chess and communication are both an art, and it is a bit difficult for him to do both.
Finally, He Zicheng said slowly: "In life, many times there are always choices. But it is difficult to really make a decision."
He seemed to be answering Bai Yiling's question whether he would like to be a businessman or an official, but his words were vague, and he seemed to mean something else.
Although the two were chatting, they didn't play chess slowly - as long as they slowed down, the other party could feel the hesitation and weighing in their hearts. In this case, it was tantamount to admitting defeat.
The situation at this moment is stalemate, He Zicheng now set chess eyes in the four corners, and then prudently charged towards the center, while Bai Yiling came up and occupied the important area of the abdomen, aiming at one direction, like an epee striking straight, and rushing in sharply.
He said: "What Mr. He said is that human energy is also limited. If you plan on all sides, you will not be able to take care of everything accordingly. On the contrary, it will be easy to reveal flaws, isn't it?"
With white and shiny fingertips, he twisted a black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
He Zicheng was a little bit embarrassed, and a little aroused to be competitive. He thought about it and said: "Echoing from all corners and fighting in an encirclement is one tactic, but going straight in alone and going forward bravely is another tactic. Winning or losing a chess game sometimes doesn't matter." In this regard, perhaps... from the very beginning, it is doomed to stick to black and white."
Bai Yiling had already thought about the next arrangement, but He Zicheng didn't make any decisions, so he couldn't proceed to the next step, so he simply leaned back on the back of the chair and said lightly: "Mr. He, you already have a lot of things. , how many people can’t hope for it at all. Sometimes a person feels that he is suffering and struggling, it is because he still has the leisure to feel sorry for himself, and has not experienced the real pain that even threatens his life.”
He seemed to be just sighing casually and said: "When every day, even wanting to survive becomes a kind of torment, and death is not reconciled, and life has to be strong, at that time, it is not too late to say this again."
He Zicheng's heart trembled, the chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard, he looked at Bai Yiling, but Bai Yiling's eyes slowly moved down, landed on the table, and said relaxedly: "If you play like this, you will lose. "
He was reminding He Zicheng that the chess piece in his hand didn't follow and gave the opponent a chance to change. He Zicheng looked down at the chessboard and said after a while: "No regrets, I lost."
Bai Yiling pushed away the chessboard and stood up, saying, "It was a very enjoyable game of chess."
He Zicheng also stood up, and said with a smile, "Did your lord come to me just to play this game of chess?"
Bai Yiling said: "The game of chess is like life, there are many things that can be seen. He Zicheng, no matter whether your results are true or not, and no matter what you are hiding, Your Excellency Wan Wang cherishes what you have now."
He Zicheng said: "Master Bai, I will take you out."
Bai Yiling said: "No need, just know the way."
After he finished speaking, he walked away. He Zicheng stood there for a while, and after a while, sat down in his seat again.After a while, he shook his head and chuckled helplessly.
In front of this person, there is really no way to hide himself.
The news always passes quickly. Even though Sang Hongrui did not reveal her identity clearly when she was looking for trouble in the cockfighting arena, after less than two hours, Sang Hongjin still got the news that her sister had caused a catastrophe. I broke out in a cold sweat.
Sang Hongrui was jealous of Bai Yiling, but also held grudges. Every time he saw him, he lost control of his emotions, but Sang Hongjin knew how noble the other party was, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly handed over the paperwork and entered the palace. plead guilty.
He entered the palace in the afternoon, and learned that the emperor summoned several ministers directly in the Nuan Pavilion of Chengxin Palace, and the servant who came to lead the way also brought Sang Hongjin there.
Sang Hongjin entered the door nervously, only to see the emperor standing in front of a long table in casual clothes, radiant as pearls and jade.Several military generals surrounded the table, and everyone seemed to be discussing something, but their voices were not loud.
Seeing such a scene, Sang Hongjin was full of apologies, and naturally he couldn't say it. After saluting Lu Yu, he stood aside, but Lu Yu's face was not angry, and he just said: "It just so happens that Mr. Sang Hong is here, you Come and see if this rice dish looks familiar?"
Sang Hong agreed, and bowed his waist to look at it.He was still thinking about the matter of Sang Hongrui, and he was quite absent-minded, but after seeing it, he suddenly lost his voice and blurted out: "This, this is..."
On the tray in front of him was a topographic map of valleys and rivers made of rice. Sang Hongjin had seen it many times in various drawings, and it was in the area of Youzhou.
It's just that what he saw was shriveled and flat. Such a three-dimensional map was extremely rare at the time. Youzhou was originally built on the basis of the dangerous terrain. He lost his voice for a moment.
After being shocked for a moment, he realized his gaffe, quickly lowered his head in a disguised manner, and said, "It's simply exquisite and meticulous. I didn't expect that such an expert could make such a rice plate, so I lost my mind." Yi, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Lu Yu glanced at him: "With your words, I am relieved."
The minister next to him said quickly: "Mr. Sang Hong, His Majesty piled it up with his own hands. I was surprised when I came in and saw it."
Sang Hongjin really didn't expect that, besides the accident, he became even more afraid of Lu Yu.He knew that his father looked down on the young emperor because of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, so he needed to persuade him more when he wrote the letter back this time.
Lu Yu's fingers poked a shallow crater in a place where the mountain was on its back and the valley was facing the valley, and asked, "Is this where King Youzhou is currently stationed?"
Sang Hongjin flickered in his heart for a moment, as if he had also been poked by his finger, if the person who said this was not the emperor, he almost wanted to ask the other party "what are you going to do".
He respectfully said: "Yes."
Lu Yu nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more about the topic of Youzhou. Instead, he changed his place and said to several other ministers: "At present, Lichuan thieves are attacking the counties. The leftover party rebelled, and these two places were in the southeast and southwest of Kyoto, and in the northwest and east of Youzhou, such a coincidental disaster, although it has not caused a big problem for the time being, it should not be taken lightly."
He had already arranged the specific situation and task assignment before Sang Hongjin arrived, and he knew the situation and terrain everywhere. The scale of the disturbance this time was not large, but Lu Yu was keenly aware of it in advance. When it comes to the connection, I have been prepared, and I have avoided a possible turmoil well.
The courtiers have also been convinced, and they listened to his orders, and they all said yes, and said that this trip will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and quell the chaos.
Lu Yu said: "My dear friends are all people I trust, so it goes without saying that you are capable. Just remember that there is turmoil in all parties, and the people's hearts are naturally unstable. People from the imperial court used to be their backbone. They must pay attention to coordination and cooperation to appease the people. The local officials and the people must not have another accident."
Everyone said yes, but Lu Yu suddenly changed the subject: "The human heart is like this. It is the easiest to be ignored by others, but it is also the easiest to cause disaster. I remember that when the Supreme Emperor was in power, there were several strict laws and regulations, calling the fox The auspicious things of the state of Jin can be raised, but they cannot be regarded as playthings, and the common people are delighted to see the fox one after another, with awe and anticipation in their hearts, and less fear. However, since I succeeded to the throne, I have not emphasized this matter for more than a year, but found that There are people training privately and attempting to shoot them in public. For example, the side concubine of Linzhang King..."
Sang Hongjin had already gradually diverted his attention, but Lu Yu suddenly brought up this point again, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
He whispered: "Your Majesty, my sister is spoiled and rude. She was spoiled at home in the past. My mother died young and my father was busy with official duties. It is all due to my lax discipline. I am terrified! After returning this time, She must be severely reprimanded, and she is not allowed to do anything wrong again!"
Lu Yu pretended to be surprised: "Mr. Sang Hong, why is this so? I'm just using this as an example. Since Linzhang Wang's side concubine is already a woman, she can't blame you for what she did."
The meaning of these words is that the king of Linzhang is to be blamed, and Sang Hongjin is smart enough not to take up the blame.
He pondered for a while, and said: "Wei Rong, help Mr. Sanghong to get up quickly. The king of Youzhou has dedicated himself and made great achievements in battle. How can I treat the son of a hero. Today, I will award Sang Hongjin as the Marquis of Helping Yi and give you a sword. I hope you Live up to my expectations."
Sang Hongjin got the title, but he was even more flustered.Lu Yu, what exactly does this mean?It stands to reason that he is the legitimate son of the prince of Youzhou, but the king of Youzhou asked for the establishment of the prince several times, but was not approved by the court. Instead, Lu Yu made him a "Houyihou" who had nothing to do, not only a false title , the title is also quite meaningful.
Thinking of the rice plate still on the table, Sang Hongjin felt a chill in his heart.At this time, he suddenly remembered a rumor in Beijing that his subordinates had come to report before he entered the palace.
Sang Hongjin hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a decision.After thanking Lu Yu, he stood up and mentioned as if he had no intention of saying: "Your Majesty talked about the fox, and I suddenly thought that there seemed to be a young fox in the Guangling County King's house. It was very cute. Ridai is by my side, almost inseparable."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Of course I know about the county king."
Sang Hongjin thought it over and said: "It's just that foxes are fetishes, so naturally they have to be arrogant and dignified in front of others. The county king's one was trained too...intimately with him. It is said that he usually pours tea, Picking flowers and peeling fruits is not a problem, is this... a loss of prestige?"
He didn't mean to be drunk when he said these words, and he didn't mean to be so stupid as to confess Yiling in front of Lu Yu. Some things can only be touched, but he doesn't know if Lu Yu understands what he means. careful.After finishing speaking, he added: "Of course, I'm not saying that the county king's behavior is inappropriate, but just a little worried."
"what……"
When Lu Yu heard Sang Hongjin's words, he was taken aback for a while, and then burst out laughing.In front of these courtiers, although he can't speak harshly, he also has a certain majesty. The smile at this moment is obviously happy and joyful from the bottom of his heart, and the courtiers around him can't help being stunned.
Just when he didn't know why, he suddenly heard a voice from the inner room: "Lu Yu, are you outside?"
Several people reacted for a while before they realized that "Lu Yu" was the emperor's name. They couldn't help being shocked, but Lu Yu was not at all unhappy. Instead, he stood up and agreed, "Yes, you're awake?"
The man inside said "hmm": "Check to see if my two official documents are on the table outside, and bring them in for me."
The rest of the ministers didn't dare to speak out, and when it came to this, no one could recognize Bai Yiling's voice.No wonder Lu Yu kept talking under his breath when they came here, so that no one dared to raise their voices. It turned out that Bai Yiling was taking an afternoon nap in the Nuan Pavilion.
It's all right to sleep, but his tone, why is it the same as ordering the little eunuch beside him.Do the two of you usually get along like this?
The question was quickly answered, the emperor can really get used to Bai Yiling for this sake, he agreed without any hesitation: "I see, I'll take it in for you. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you another glass of water."
As he spoke, he found the letter paper, picked up the tea, got up and entered the warm pavilion, and his virtuousness even surpassed the dignityless fox described by Sang Hongjin.
The ministers left outside looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to express their shock.
She owed this child so much since she was a child, Bai Yiling was the family's deathbed, if she didn't say this on behalf of her son, she would have lived in vain if she became a mother.
Hearing Sang Hongrui's words, she said lightly: "We can afford the medicine ourselves, so we don't need to bother."
Sang Hongrui was stunned for a moment, and wanted to hear what Lu Mo meant. The matter seemed to be over, so he felt that he should lower his posture, and said, "That's it. The princess is our prince's sister, everyone. We are all a family, so there is really no need to get angry over some trivial matter. After I go back, I will find a few more interesting pets, train them, and send them to the mansion for the young masters and ladies of your mansion to keep them for fun."
She felt that she was very polite to say such a thing, and she couldn't help but add: "Besides, the fox was not hurt, but it's nothing... Your lord shouted and killed, which made me a little angry." I didn't suppress my temper. With all due respect, if a person takes a beast too seriously, wouldn't it appear that he is no different from it?"
When this girl is not yelling, she is really good at talking, and it is really annoying.Lu Mo glanced at her, and said with a half-smile, "Anyone who takes animals seriously is an animal. That's how it is. You've really been educated."
She told the people around her: "Bring us Jiaojiao out, and say hello to Ms. Sang Hong as well."
Sang Hongrui was wondering what Jiaojiao was, and all the servants of the Sheng family agreed. Several servants walked up to Sang Hongrui, grabbed her arm, and dragged her to Lu Mo.
Sang Hongrui struggled wildly and said loudly, "What are you doing!"
Lu Mo said lightly: "Why are you arguing? If you hadn't talked so much nonsense, how could you have provoked me so much that I couldn't hold back my temper? Do whatever you are asked to do!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her chin, and Sang Hongrui screamed suddenly, and found that there was a big cage in front of her, and there was a big python in the cage.She struggled desperately, but was dragged to the front of the cage little by little, so close that she could see the patterns on the python's body clearly.
Lu Mo said: "Hey, what's your name? The boa constrictor is just an animal. I invite you to watch it for fun. Concubine Sang Hong, don't take it seriously."
Sang Hongrui's entourage couldn't just sit idly by seeing this scene, but just as they stepped forward, they were blocked by the guards of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.
Bai Yiling quietly approached Lu Mo, and whispered, "Mother, she said just now that she was pregnant... so, are you okay?"
Although Sang Hongrui is very hateful, and her screams are so full of anger, Bai Yiling feels that what she said just now is just pretending, but no matter how innocent the child is, especially the flesh and blood of the Lu family, he still has to mention it more. One sentence.
Only then did Lu Mo understand why her youngest son was scratched by Sang Hongrui's nails just now, her expression froze slightly, and she walked over and grabbed Sang Hongrui's wrist to feel her pulse.Although he is only familiar with medical skills, Lu Mo can still tell the pulse of a woman's pregnancy.
After a while, she sneered, instead of shaking Sang Hongrui's hand away, she personally grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the front of the cage. Sang Hongrui couldn't resist and closed her eyes in fright.
"Look at my son's good intentions, so he is full of nonsense, right? I'm really curious, how can I make you have such a memory."
Lu Mo pushed her head forward and shouted, "Look carefully!"
Sang Hongrui didn't dare to look at the scene in front of her, but there was something cold on her face, which made her feel hairy, and there were exclamations around her. She couldn't bear it, and opened her eyes suddenly.
What came into view was a pair of triangular eyes with a sinister green light, and the bright red letter was spitting out, almost licking the tip of her nose.
——Her hair was pulled, her head could not move, her face was pressed against the cage, this scene made the hairs stand on end all over her body.
This is really fatal. Although the boa constrictor is locked in a cage, Sang Hongrui's entire face is firmly attached to the grid made of copper wire. If the boa constrictor really wants to bite, it can definitely get her .Besides, even if you don't get bitten, it's disgusting!
Sang Hongrui's heart rose to his throat, and a hysterical scream came out from his throat. The voice was so sharp that everyone around him had goose bumps.
But this time everyone feels the same way. Although the pets here are domesticated and trained, facing such a big python at close range can really scare people to death.
But who made her deserve it?
Sang Hongrui was in a panic, holding the ground with her hands, trying to keep her body away from the cage, but she couldn't resist the strength of several people, and the resistance seemed futile, and she was about to collapse.
The boa constrictor looked at the woman blankly, feeling very frightened, and shrank cautiously into the cage.
Sang Hongrui watched it squirm, with goosebumps all over her body, almost crying.
Lu Mo said lightly: "It didn't hurt you, it was just a little frightened, what are you calling for?"
Sang Hongrui cried bitterly and shouted, "Let go of me! Let me go! I was wrong, I was really wrong, and I dare not do it again!"
She was so frightened that she cried loudly, "Please let me go!"
This is a coward who is strong on the outside and wants to provoke people everywhere, but he just pressed her on top of the snake cage, it didn't hurt or itch, so he was so scared?If she killed Bai Yiling's raised fox with that arrow, she would really not be able to pay for her death, but Lu Yu's identity is not easy to disclose.
Lu Mo directly opened the door of the cage, grabbed Sang Hongrui's head and stuffed it in. The cage is so huge that it's not a problem at all to complete this action.Sang Hongrui felt that his face had touched the cold, scaly skin of the python, and his whole face turned pale with fright, and he almost bit the snake when he screamed.
Bai Yiling said: "Mother, forget it, I think Jiaojiao is going to freak out."
This snake looks thick and big, but in fact it has a very docile temperament and is not a poisonous snake. It was injured two months ago and was picked up by Bai Yiling to raise it. He planned to put it back when it recovered. Sheng Ying gave the snake a mask. The name is Jiaojiao.
Lu Mo let go of his hand, and Sang Hongrui's body was paralyzed all of a sudden, and then he reacted in a jerk, hurriedly pulled his head out of the snake cage, and almost crawled back to hide for a long distance, wow He spit it out.
She felt that she would never forget the feeling of despair and terror just now in her life. She cried and vomited, trembling all over, and barely stood up after being pushed off the ground by two maids.
Lu Mo walked up to her, with a look of disdain on her beautiful face, she said blankly: "Why are you crying, you are not hurt, don't do this to me!"
She squeezed Sang Hongrui's face with her hands and twisted it, and said: "Next time, if I see you being disrespectful to my son, I don't care who your father is, I will definitely throw you into the snake pond to be imprisoned." Three days and three nights, remember?"
Sang Hongrui was trembling, unable to speak for a while, and nodded like a pounding garlic.
Lu Mo put her hand into the cage, and patted the limp boa constrictor comfortingly. The boa constrictor was cared for, looked at her aggrievedly, and vomited again.
Lu Mo said: "You, you are really cowardly. You should see more wicked people. You should gain more experience. If you leave in the future, you will not be arrested again."
While talking, He Zicheng also came over. Lu Mo was polite to him and said, "Boss, my snake scared away many of your guests just now. You can calculate the loss and let the servants pay you back later." .”
He Zicheng smiled nonchalantly: "Madam is too polite, I should just thank Madam, otherwise the longer this matter drags on, the more it will affect my earning money."
Sang Hongrui twitched from crying, couldn't even stand firmly, and didn't care about what He Zicheng said, and was helped by the servants to the carriage and left.While walking, she looked back cautiously, for fear that Lu Mo would stop her suddenly again. When she finally put down the curtain of the car, she was already drenched in cold sweat.
Bai Yiling quietly observed He Zicheng. This person seemed lazy, but in fact he was shrewd. He was not like an ordinary scholar. He was either gentle and humble, or self-proclaimed. There is no prejudice, but if someone who also took the exam with He Zicheng saw it, he would naturally murmur in his heart.
He was thinking about the other party's behavior in his heart, and suddenly he was patted on the head. Lu Mo said angrily: "Silly boy, why are you so dazed? Look at your little face, it's all scratched. Hurry up and get on the carriage with your mother."
Bai Yiling came back to his senses, smiled and said, "It's not that serious."
Lu Yu licked his hand.
After getting into the carriage, Lu Mo scrubbed Bai Yiling's wound, applied medicine, and carried the fox over for a check. Bai Yiling briefly told her and Sheng Duo what had happened.
Lu Mo looked disgusted: "This girl is really lawless, she is used to being frivolous, and she still thinks that the capital is their Youzhou? After returning to the mansion, I have to send someone to talk to King Linzhang and Sang Hongjin. She is right What other people do is her business, and it's not okay to provoke my son."
Bai Yiling laughed straight after listening, Sheng Duo said: "Mother is powerful, she is majestic!"
Lu Mo was still a little angry at first, but she couldn't help laughing when the two of them said this, but she made up her mind to send people to the houses on both sides to file a complaint so that Sang Hongrui could remember it.
Bai Yiling didn't go with his mother and elder brother, he still wanted to talk to He Zicheng, after bringing Lu Yu out, Lu Yu stepped on Bai Yiling's shoulder with a distressed expression, rubbing his ear against his face.
Bai Yiling felt itchy, and pushed him away with a smile: "Okay, it doesn't hurt."
Lu Yu said: "Sang Hongrui is really lawless. In fact, when the emperor was in power, he told me that at first someone persuaded him that marrying Sang Hongrui to Lu Qi would easily cause the King of Linzhang to join hands with the King of Youzhou. He also had this worry at first, but after seeing Sang Hongrui later, he didn't take it seriously."
Bai Yiling smiled slightly, as if he knew what Lu Yu was going to say, but he had no answer.
Lu Yu said: "If she and Lu Qi were not together, the two might still have some affection for each other. On the contrary, after becoming a husband and wife, such relative disputes pass day by day. I'm afraid that the longer the time, the greater the rift. I didn't deal with her at first, and I waited for Lu Qi to do it himself. But this time it was unbearable. After a while, I ordered to reprimand Sang Hongjin and King Linzhang separately, and just lock this woman up. It saves money. Provoking right and wrong."
Bai Yiling said slowly: "Don't think too easily about the King of Linzhang. He acts calmly and takes every step of the way. Although sometimes he may be procrastinated, as long as he does something, he rarely makes mistakes."
Bai Yiling's understanding of Lu Qi is deeper than most people, even if he is tired of Sang Hongrui, but everyone has already entered the palace, Lu Qi will not let this move become a waste.But how to prevent those who were offended by Sang Hongrui from accruing this account to him, and how to make Sang Hong's family work for him is Lu Qi's skill.
Lu Yu knew that what Bai Yiling said was reasonable, but he still cared a little bit because of the very clear tone of the other party, so he drew a long and sour voice, "Mmm--".
Bai Yiling pinched Lu Yu's big tail, and said with a smile: "Don't be so obedient here, I have something serious to tell you, do you want to save your fellow clan?"
Because of the incident just now, Lu Yu got into a dead end, and didn't think about anything else for a while, and asked strangely: "What?"
Bai Yiling said: "You hate the big red fox that can't be made of steel. Sang Hongrui was frightened by my mother, and he hasn't recovered from it now, but when he thinks about it after a while, he probably wants to vent his anger. That fox is so stupid. What if she killed her?"
When Lu Yu thought about it, it made sense, Sang Hongrui was definitely someone who could do such a thing.
Bai Yiling patted the fox's butt: "I'll go see He Zicheng, you save the fox, we'll meet up in front later."
When Lu Mo and Sheng Duo left just now, they insisted on leaving the guards behind, and there was no need to worry about Bai Yiling. Lu Yu thought for a moment, nodded, turned and ran away.
When Bai Yiling returned to the cockfighting arena, he didn't know what method He Zicheng used. The episode just now didn't interrupt people's interest in the pet competition. Seeing that everything was fine now, the arena quickly became lively again.
Bai Yiling saw his position at a glance, so he walked around from the outside of the arena to look for him in a low-key manner.
Without Lu Yu's red company, Bai Yiling, who was wearing the wrong green clothes, felt more comfortable. He secretly prayed that Lu Yu would run farther and come back slower when he rescued the fox, and it would be better to wait for him to return to the mansion Come back after changing clothes.
The little fox, who didn't know anything, was running hard, and if Ah Ling needed him, he had to be there.
"Master, this son is looking for you."
Holding a cup of tea in his hand, He Zicheng was leaning on the seat, with a smile on his lips, and he was lazily watching the game below, looking like a rich and idle man, knowing that the old housekeeper in his house said something , he raised his head and saw Bai Yiling.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Young Master, why did you go back and forth, but did you leave something here?"
Bai Yiling said: "Young Master He, smart people will cover up themselves, but it's a bit boring to pretend to be confused after knowing what other people are coming for."
He touched the tea cup that He Zicheng had just put down with his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "The tea is cold."
He Zicheng's expression froze slightly, and after a pause, he stood up from his seat, saluted Bai Yiling, and said, "Master Bai knows everything, I can't hide anything from you, I am self-righteous."
The old butler next to him looked at this scene in surprise, not understanding what happened just now, which made He Zicheng change his attitude all of a sudden.
He hesitated, wondering if he should leave, He Zicheng had already turned his head and said: "Uncle Zhong, clean up the reception room, I want to entertain distinguished guests."
Uncle Zhong quickly nodded in agreement, and Bai Yiling followed He Zicheng into a two-story building not far behind the cockfighting arena. He Zicheng asked him to sit down, and he himself sat down opposite Bai Yiling. .
He poured tea for the two of them, and Bai Yiling thanked them, and said, "Did you send someone to the street to deliver the news to my mother and brother?"
He Zicheng smiled and said, "Master Bai has already guessed it, so it's pointless to deny it. That's me."
When they were in the carriage just now, Lu Mo said that she and Sheng Duo came here because they heard someone on the street saying that Master Bai was on the west side of the city.It's just that there were not many people around who could recognize him at that time, so how could this news spread to the street?Someone must have reported it on purpose.
Of course, this behavior cannot be said to be out of concern for him.The biggest benefit of Lu Mo and Sheng Duo coming over is that Sang Hongrui can end his madness sooner and the business can continue. Of course, He Zicheng, the boss, is the most motivated.
So if he did it, Bai Yiling knew that He Zicheng must have guessed his identity and purpose.
He went straight to the topic: "Thank you so much. Mr. He, why do I come to you without further ado, some people suspect that you will cheat in the exam, do you know?"
He Zicheng said, "I know."
Bai Yiling raised his eyebrows: "Just these two words?"
He Zicheng said with a smile: "The clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid. Anyway, no one believes what I said. Please investigate."
His smile was a little rascal, a little lazy, with a kind of indifference to everything.Bai Yiling looked at him and pondered for a moment, then said: ""The Doctrine of the Mean", righteous oneself and not asking others, a gentleman has no complaints."
He Zicheng looked at Bai Yiling, and didn't realize what he was going to do for a while. He saw that the other party was just looking at him quietly. He rubbed his forehead before he suddenly realized that the other party was actually going to use "A gentleman acts according to his position, and he doesn't want to be outside of it." Do the topic to test him, ask him to write an article.
This man is really...
He Zicheng smiled in his heart, and opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he paused suddenly, and looked up at Bai Yiling.
After Bai Yiling finished giving him the questions, he leaned back in the chair and looked at He Zicheng with a smile on his lips. His eyes were not sharp, but there was an invisible pressure.The dark green clothes set off his red lips and white teeth, and his demeanor was fresh and dusty. He was supposed to be a beautiful boy who made people fall in love with each other, but he had an imposing manner.
He Zicheng opened his mouth, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said, "I won't."
Bai Yiling's gaze made the leisurely look on his face disappear, and he became uncomfortable.
He Zicheng avoided his eyes and said: "Before the scientific examination, I memorized it by rote, but now I have almost forgotten it."
Bai Yiling didn't ask further questions, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and said, "It's also human nature."
He Zicheng looked at him in surprise, Bai Yiling smiled at him, and asked again: "Can you play Go?"
When he was talking, looking at the vertical chessboard in the corner of the room, He Zicheng heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, and said, "Rough knowledge."
Bai Yiling said: "You bring it and accompany me to the next game."
For this sake, even if He Zicheng wanted him to leave quickly, there was no room for him to refuse, and Bai Yiling was simply ordering him.He touched his nose, smiled wryly and brought the Go chess over and placed it on the table.
The two guessed, Bai Yiling held the black chess first, and said at the same time: "Mr. He's wish, is it for a high official and a rich salary, or for a rich man?"
He Zicheng thought for a while, followed him, and said, "Being an official or a businessman has its own advantages, but my father hopes that I can honor my ancestors and do my best for the court."
He had just finished playing the chess in his hand, and Bai Yiling immediately followed him: "It seems that your father loves you very much. Now that Young Master He has reunited with Yuan in high school, it can be regarded as fulfilling the old man's wish."
He Zicheng said: "Lord Bai, don't be joking. The situation is uncertain now. If my membership is withdrawn, then there is no wish or dislike."
After he finished speaking, Bai Yiling dropped a pawn, and He Zicheng's expression froze slightly, and then he picked up the few white pawns in the middle of the chessboard.
Bai Yiling said: "Whether you cheated or not, Mr. He knows best. Before I have any evidence to prove it, your grades are there, and you are Huiyuan. How can you say it is a joke?"
When he was talking, he was twisting the chess pieces in his hands, and staring at the chessboard with his eyes, as if he was careless, but at this moment He Zicheng was already extremely careful in his heart.
He felt as if he had made a mistake and said the wrong thing.Chess and communication are both an art, and it is a bit difficult for him to do both.
Finally, He Zicheng said slowly: "In life, many times there are always choices. But it is difficult to really make a decision."
He seemed to be answering Bai Yiling's question whether he would like to be a businessman or an official, but his words were vague, and he seemed to mean something else.
Although the two were chatting, they didn't play chess slowly - as long as they slowed down, the other party could feel the hesitation and weighing in their hearts. In this case, it was tantamount to admitting defeat.
The situation at this moment is stalemate, He Zicheng now set chess eyes in the four corners, and then prudently charged towards the center, while Bai Yiling came up and occupied the important area of the abdomen, aiming at one direction, like an epee striking straight, and rushing in sharply.
He said: "What Mr. He said is that human energy is also limited. If you plan on all sides, you will not be able to take care of everything accordingly. On the contrary, it will be easy to reveal flaws, isn't it?"
With white and shiny fingertips, he twisted a black chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
He Zicheng was a little bit embarrassed, and a little aroused to be competitive. He thought about it and said: "Echoing from all corners and fighting in an encirclement is one tactic, but going straight in alone and going forward bravely is another tactic. Winning or losing a chess game sometimes doesn't matter." In this regard, perhaps... from the very beginning, it is doomed to stick to black and white."
Bai Yiling had already thought about the next arrangement, but He Zicheng didn't make any decisions, so he couldn't proceed to the next step, so he simply leaned back on the back of the chair and said lightly: "Mr. He, you already have a lot of things. , how many people can’t hope for it at all. Sometimes a person feels that he is suffering and struggling, it is because he still has the leisure to feel sorry for himself, and has not experienced the real pain that even threatens his life.”
He seemed to be just sighing casually and said: "When every day, even wanting to survive becomes a kind of torment, and death is not reconciled, and life has to be strong, at that time, it is not too late to say this again."
He Zicheng's heart trembled, the chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard, he looked at Bai Yiling, but Bai Yiling's eyes slowly moved down, landed on the table, and said relaxedly: "If you play like this, you will lose. "
He was reminding He Zicheng that the chess piece in his hand didn't follow and gave the opponent a chance to change. He Zicheng looked down at the chessboard and said after a while: "No regrets, I lost."
Bai Yiling pushed away the chessboard and stood up, saying, "It was a very enjoyable game of chess."
He Zicheng also stood up, and said with a smile, "Did your lord come to me just to play this game of chess?"
Bai Yiling said: "The game of chess is like life, there are many things that can be seen. He Zicheng, no matter whether your results are true or not, and no matter what you are hiding, Your Excellency Wan Wang cherishes what you have now."
He Zicheng said: "Master Bai, I will take you out."
Bai Yiling said: "No need, just know the way."
After he finished speaking, he walked away. He Zicheng stood there for a while, and after a while, sat down in his seat again.After a while, he shook his head and chuckled helplessly.
In front of this person, there is really no way to hide himself.
The news always passes quickly. Even though Sang Hongrui did not reveal her identity clearly when she was looking for trouble in the cockfighting arena, after less than two hours, Sang Hongjin still got the news that her sister had caused a catastrophe. I broke out in a cold sweat.
Sang Hongrui was jealous of Bai Yiling, but also held grudges. Every time he saw him, he lost control of his emotions, but Sang Hongjin knew how noble the other party was, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly handed over the paperwork and entered the palace. plead guilty.
He entered the palace in the afternoon, and learned that the emperor summoned several ministers directly in the Nuan Pavilion of Chengxin Palace, and the servant who came to lead the way also brought Sang Hongjin there.
Sang Hongjin entered the door nervously, only to see the emperor standing in front of a long table in casual clothes, radiant as pearls and jade.Several military generals surrounded the table, and everyone seemed to be discussing something, but their voices were not loud.
Seeing such a scene, Sang Hongjin was full of apologies, and naturally he couldn't say it. After saluting Lu Yu, he stood aside, but Lu Yu's face was not angry, and he just said: "It just so happens that Mr. Sang Hong is here, you Come and see if this rice dish looks familiar?"
Sang Hong agreed, and bowed his waist to look at it.He was still thinking about the matter of Sang Hongrui, and he was quite absent-minded, but after seeing it, he suddenly lost his voice and blurted out: "This, this is..."
On the tray in front of him was a topographic map of valleys and rivers made of rice. Sang Hongjin had seen it many times in various drawings, and it was in the area of Youzhou.
It's just that what he saw was shriveled and flat. Such a three-dimensional map was extremely rare at the time. Youzhou was originally built on the basis of the dangerous terrain. He lost his voice for a moment.
After being shocked for a moment, he realized his gaffe, quickly lowered his head in a disguised manner, and said, "It's simply exquisite and meticulous. I didn't expect that such an expert could make such a rice plate, so I lost my mind." Yi, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Lu Yu glanced at him: "With your words, I am relieved."
The minister next to him said quickly: "Mr. Sang Hong, His Majesty piled it up with his own hands. I was surprised when I came in and saw it."
Sang Hongjin really didn't expect that, besides the accident, he became even more afraid of Lu Yu.He knew that his father looked down on the young emperor because of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, so he needed to persuade him more when he wrote the letter back this time.
Lu Yu's fingers poked a shallow crater in a place where the mountain was on its back and the valley was facing the valley, and asked, "Is this where King Youzhou is currently stationed?"
Sang Hongjin flickered in his heart for a moment, as if he had also been poked by his finger, if the person who said this was not the emperor, he almost wanted to ask the other party "what are you going to do".
He respectfully said: "Yes."
Lu Yu nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more about the topic of Youzhou. Instead, he changed his place and said to several other ministers: "At present, Lichuan thieves are attacking the counties. The leftover party rebelled, and these two places were in the southeast and southwest of Kyoto, and in the northwest and east of Youzhou, such a coincidental disaster, although it has not caused a big problem for the time being, it should not be taken lightly."
He had already arranged the specific situation and task assignment before Sang Hongjin arrived, and he knew the situation and terrain everywhere. The scale of the disturbance this time was not large, but Lu Yu was keenly aware of it in advance. When it comes to the connection, I have been prepared, and I have avoided a possible turmoil well.
The courtiers have also been convinced, and they listened to his orders, and they all said yes, and said that this trip will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and quell the chaos.
Lu Yu said: "My dear friends are all people I trust, so it goes without saying that you are capable. Just remember that there is turmoil in all parties, and the people's hearts are naturally unstable. People from the imperial court used to be their backbone. They must pay attention to coordination and cooperation to appease the people. The local officials and the people must not have another accident."
Everyone said yes, but Lu Yu suddenly changed the subject: "The human heart is like this. It is the easiest to be ignored by others, but it is also the easiest to cause disaster. I remember that when the Supreme Emperor was in power, there were several strict laws and regulations, calling the fox The auspicious things of the state of Jin can be raised, but they cannot be regarded as playthings, and the common people are delighted to see the fox one after another, with awe and anticipation in their hearts, and less fear. However, since I succeeded to the throne, I have not emphasized this matter for more than a year, but found that There are people training privately and attempting to shoot them in public. For example, the side concubine of Linzhang King..."
Sang Hongjin had already gradually diverted his attention, but Lu Yu suddenly brought up this point again, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
He whispered: "Your Majesty, my sister is spoiled and rude. She was spoiled at home in the past. My mother died young and my father was busy with official duties. It is all due to my lax discipline. I am terrified! After returning this time, She must be severely reprimanded, and she is not allowed to do anything wrong again!"
Lu Yu pretended to be surprised: "Mr. Sang Hong, why is this so? I'm just using this as an example. Since Linzhang Wang's side concubine is already a woman, she can't blame you for what she did."
The meaning of these words is that the king of Linzhang is to be blamed, and Sang Hongjin is smart enough not to take up the blame.
He pondered for a while, and said: "Wei Rong, help Mr. Sanghong to get up quickly. The king of Youzhou has dedicated himself and made great achievements in battle. How can I treat the son of a hero. Today, I will award Sang Hongjin as the Marquis of Helping Yi and give you a sword. I hope you Live up to my expectations."
Sang Hongjin got the title, but he was even more flustered.Lu Yu, what exactly does this mean?It stands to reason that he is the legitimate son of the prince of Youzhou, but the king of Youzhou asked for the establishment of the prince several times, but was not approved by the court. Instead, Lu Yu made him a "Houyihou" who had nothing to do, not only a false title , the title is also quite meaningful.
Thinking of the rice plate still on the table, Sang Hongjin felt a chill in his heart.At this time, he suddenly remembered a rumor in Beijing that his subordinates had come to report before he entered the palace.
Sang Hongjin hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a decision.After thanking Lu Yu, he stood up and mentioned as if he had no intention of saying: "Your Majesty talked about the fox, and I suddenly thought that there seemed to be a young fox in the Guangling County King's house. It was very cute. Ridai is by my side, almost inseparable."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Of course I know about the county king."
Sang Hongjin thought it over and said: "It's just that foxes are fetishes, so naturally they have to be arrogant and dignified in front of others. The county king's one was trained too...intimately with him. It is said that he usually pours tea, Picking flowers and peeling fruits is not a problem, is this... a loss of prestige?"
He didn't mean to be drunk when he said these words, and he didn't mean to be so stupid as to confess Yiling in front of Lu Yu. Some things can only be touched, but he doesn't know if Lu Yu understands what he means. careful.After finishing speaking, he added: "Of course, I'm not saying that the county king's behavior is inappropriate, but just a little worried."
"what……"
When Lu Yu heard Sang Hongjin's words, he was taken aback for a while, and then burst out laughing.In front of these courtiers, although he can't speak harshly, he also has a certain majesty. The smile at this moment is obviously happy and joyful from the bottom of his heart, and the courtiers around him can't help being stunned.
Just when he didn't know why, he suddenly heard a voice from the inner room: "Lu Yu, are you outside?"
Several people reacted for a while before they realized that "Lu Yu" was the emperor's name. They couldn't help being shocked, but Lu Yu was not at all unhappy. Instead, he stood up and agreed, "Yes, you're awake?"
The man inside said "hmm": "Check to see if my two official documents are on the table outside, and bring them in for me."
The rest of the ministers didn't dare to speak out, and when it came to this, no one could recognize Bai Yiling's voice.No wonder Lu Yu kept talking under his breath when they came here, so that no one dared to raise their voices. It turned out that Bai Yiling was taking an afternoon nap in the Nuan Pavilion.
It's all right to sleep, but his tone, why is it the same as ordering the little eunuch beside him.Do the two of you usually get along like this?
The question was quickly answered, the emperor can really get used to Bai Yiling for this sake, he agreed without any hesitation: "I see, I'll take it in for you. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you another glass of water."
As he spoke, he found the letter paper, picked up the tea, got up and entered the warm pavilion, and his virtuousness even surpassed the dignityless fox described by Sang Hongjin.
The ministers left outside looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to express their shock.
