Chapter 6 I Let Him Be That Lonely Minister
"Where is General Pei?"

After Luo Porridge left, Zhu Ming cast his eyes on the commander of the imperial army outside the door and summoned him, after all, he should help clean up this mess.

"Chen is here!"

Pei Xingwu took off his sword and stepped into the hall, the fish-scale armor on his body collided with the sound of gold and iron clanging as he walked, and he knelt down and saluted stubbornly despite being inconvenient around the armor.

"I order you to go to the Shangjing Camp with the Tiger Talisman immediately, and let those guards station outside the city. If there is any change, enter the city at any time, and make sure that Shangjing is not in chaos."

"Sir, take orders!"

After Pei Xingwu took the order to leave,

The court argued again.

"I'm a little tired..."

Zhu Ming looked down at the group of ministers who lost their minds because of the chaos or fell down and attacked political opponents, and sighed, feeling an indescribable distress in his chest.

"Minister, please leave!"

When the officials retreated anxiously, and only Li Zhijie, the remaining minister of Gu Ming, was left in the huge palace, Zhu Ming let go of all the disguised emotions.

"Dead...heh..."

"Did you die so easily?"

Zhu Ming turned his head and looked at the empty seat behind the bead curtain with a dazed expression. He completely collapsed on the dragon chair as if his spine had been taken out.

"Absurd, absurd, absurd!!!"

"I have endured it for more than ten years..."

"She died like a child's play?"

After a while, Zhu Ming's expression gradually became crazy, he got up and tore off the bead curtain, even though his flesh and blood were cut by a thin thread, he didn't know it.

After a long time, Zhu Ming finally calmed down, but the scene of the young man swinging the knife resolutely is still vivid in his memory.

"It is a great blessing for me that the woman was killed in the court, but after all, she is the empress dowager of the court, and she died so recklessly. How should I look at me?"

"How should I deal with myself?"

Zhu Ming smiled wryly.

"I know what your majesty means. Only when Commander Luo dies can he block the mouths of all the people in the world and let the court..."

"But things have come to this, why not do the opposite!"

"What does Uncle Li mean?"

Zhu Ming narrowed his glasses slightly.

"Give him the authority of the Luo family that is far superior to that of the Jinyi bodyguards of the previous dynasty, and let him use this sharp knife to sweep away all the troubles on the way to power for His Majesty in the shortest possible time."

Li Zhijie said coldly.

"Is it far better than the authority of Jinyi's army in the previous dynasty?"

Zhu Ming subconsciously froze when he thought of the years when brocade clothes were rampant. This move was no less than letting the colorful tiger out of the cage and giving it sharp teeth.

"I'm just afraid that the tiger has a nature of eating people, and will eventually devour the Lord."

Zhu Ming said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, according to the temperament of this boy surnamed Luo, no matter whether it is a nobleman or a courtier, as long as he stands in the front, he will be killed mercilessly, but if he kills too many people, he will be the enemy of the whole world, and there is absolutely no place for him in this world. !"

Li Zhijie gritted his teeth cruelly, some things have to be done by someone, but that person can't be himself.

"As for the Devourer, it's nonsense..."

"All his power comes from His Majesty!"

"He can only be attached to His Majesty!"

"The so-called lonely minister is nothing more than that."

Li Zhijie waved his sleeves and said decisively.

"In addition, the old minister also has a book in his heart."

"Everything this kid from the Luo family has done, one by one, the old minister will write down for him one by one. When there are no more heirs in the court, it will be the time to break this sharp knife."

"When the time comes, whether it's the crushing of the bones or the extermination of the family, it's all in your Majesty's mind."

After all, Li Zhi stared at Zhu Ming, the latter was rubbing his forehead and meditating, his heart seemed to be at war with heaven and man, and the scene of being bullied by that poisonous woman couldn't go away in his mind, and now the poisonous woman is dead and here When liquidation.

"in this way……"

"I'll let him be that lonely minister!"

Zhu Ming suddenly got up and waved his sleeves.

"So, the court is cleared."

"But how to solve the border crisis?"

Zhu Ming asked again.

"The old minister remembers that General Xu is at home now, but if this person is in command, he will be able to turn the tide!"

"Old general Xu Wenda had few victories in his life, so his reputation in the court was not obvious, but who knows, the old general also never lost a single defeat in his life."

"If Your Majesty is really determined to fight to the end, based on Old General Xu's steady temperament and the danger of the city pass, the opponent's more than [-] cavalry may not be able to enter the pass."

"As long as we can hold on for a few months, the barbarians will retreat!"

Li Zhijie said decisively.

"What Li Gong said is really..."

"I, I will draw up an order immediately!"

Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Zhu Ming inexplicably settled down. It is safe enough to be an official for several days and escape from the hands of that vicious woman.

……

In front of Luo's mansion,

When Luo Porridge came back, he was still dressed in fresh clothes, but there were a few blood stains on the flying fish suit made of fine brocade that couldn't be washed off, and there were thousands of red-clothed and black-armored imperial troops behind him.

"Master Luo, please rest assured to pay homage."

After the leading general cupped his hands at Luo Porridge, he raised his hand, and the imperial guards, who were originally divided into two columns, arrived outside the mansion in an orderly manner.

The soldiers with crossbows were distributed to the windows on the second floor facing the street, and there were many soldiers among them scattered around the mansion.

Outside the long street, there are more eyes and ears gathered from various families secretly inquiring about the news of Luo Mansion, among them there are many dead soldiers and retainers raised by each mansion.

The entire Shangjing City is full of rumors and turmoil, and this turmoil is sweeping the entire Gyeonggi and even the world at an extremely fast speed.

"Lord Luo, please rest assured."

"Before the news from the palace comes, the lower officials will naturally guarantee the safety of your residence."

The leading young general frowned as he watched the sudden increase of traffickers and pawns on the long street.

The voice just fell,

A frightened hawk sounded suddenly,

"It's okay, I'm just a mere kid..."

Luo Conge raised his head to the big eagle on the clouds and smiled lightly.

There is a lonely senior here, and except for the imperial court mobilizing a large army to wipe it out, no one in this city can threaten his safety any more.

……

"Uncle Zhou, what is the meaning of this?"

Just as Luo Porridge opened the door and entered, he saw that there was an extra coffin in front of the mourning hall. He looked intently at the elderly Zhou Bo who was cleaning it carefully, and beside him was an old horse and a set of armor full of sword marks.

"Master, are you still alive?"

Hearing the sound, Uncle Zhou stopped the movements of his hands, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and burst into tears after making sure that he had read the person correctly.

Luo Porridge got closer, and gestured that the size of the coffin was just in line with his body, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Uncle Zhou, the boy is still panting."

Luo Congee smiled wryly.

"I just think that if something happens to the young master..."

"The old slave has to collect the young master's body even if he dies."

Zhou Bo muttered to himself.

"Uncle Zhou is determined, so let's put the coffin away first."

Luo Porridge patted the lid of the coffin and said.

The latter will follow suit.

Before the mourning hall,
Luo Congee silently mentioned the half jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that was placed next to Luo Wu's coffin, and lifted the red cloth that sealed it, the aroma of the wine was already a little faint.

"The young master has been tired all day, let's go and rest for a while."

After placing the coffin, Uncle Zhou walked behind Luo Congee, looking at the blood stains all over his body, he could imagine how dangerous the situation in the early court was.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry."

"The heads of worshipers have not arrived yet."

Luo Congee said casually, the latter was startled when he heard the sound and didn't ask any more questions, just silently adding firewood to the basin.

At the end of the unitary hour,
A simple carriage parked steadily outside the gate of Luo's mansion. Under the gaze of countless caring people, Eunuch Cao walked in holding two rolls of brocade.

"Lord Luo, accept the order."

"Your Majesty is going to entrust you with an important task this time!"

Eunuch Cao whispered,

"Minister, accept the order!"

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict says!"

"Luo Porridge, the envoy of the Jinyiwei Guard... the commander of the Jinyiwei's army is the commander, the commander is one, and the official rank is three. In addition, I will give you a thousand taels of gold and a python robe. This is my honor!"

"Lord Luo, be safe and don't be impatient, and there is another imperial decree."

"Design Jin Yiwei's pro-army to command and envoy Luo Porridge to thoroughly investigate the case of Concubine Hui's accidental death and the case of Commander Luo's bizarre death."

"Anyone involved in the case, regardless of their official position, no matter how high or low, can be imprisoned... If there is resistance, all matters involved in the case can be decided by themselves in the future..."

After Eunuch Cao finished reading, he handed out the tray on the side, on which lay a black python robe embroidered with gold.

"Eunuch Cao, before leaving the palace, I asked you to bring something with you. I guess you didn't miss it?"

After taking the order, Luo Congee continued.

"Lord Luo..."

Eunuch Cao hesitated to speak, and finally returned to the carriage. When he got off, he had an extra wooden box in his hand, and he could smell a pungent bloody smell a little closer.

"Lord Luo is only afraid of this move..."

Eunuch Cao heaved a long sigh after handing over the wooden box.

"If you think about it, Master Li also knows about it. After all, His Majesty is too indecisive, and he always takes too much into account when doing things."

"As a subject, I should share my worries for you. I should give His Majesty more reasons to kill me in the future, right?"

After Luo Congee finished speaking, he pushed the wooden box away, shook the white cloth, and a bloody head rolled out. The facial features of the head were destroyed and his identity could not be identified, but the knife marks on the neck were very familiar.
