Lin Jiabiyu

As soon as the words fell, another suppressed cough sounded.

The voice echoed in the empty hall, Emperor Cheng Ming's face was flushed red, sweat was soaked on his forehead, he coughed and panted one after another.

After a long time, the coughing gradually stopped.Emperor Cheng Ming's face was tired, his brows were furrowed, his cheekbones were prominent on his forehead, and the blue veins were hidden under the wrinkled skin, which were very obvious.After a while, he sank down on the chair, closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.

"Keep an eye on the roads to the north! If Lu Junqing really goes south, let him go. If he goes north," Emperor Cheng Ming paused, his voice showing a hint of sternness, "let him stay on the road. Ye family and Xining Palace , keep an eye on me!"

The black shadow in the main hall responded with a dry and hoarse voice, and then quickly exited the inner hall. A little under his feet, the black shadow passed by and disappeared again.

Emperor Cheng Ming, who was lying on the chair, opened his eyes, and there was a sternness and determination hidden in the slightly cloudy and dry eyes.

Lu Hanguang has always been scheming, he has to guard against this old man playing tricks.There is no one in the north of the Lu family. If Lu Junqing goes to the north, at least it will be beneficial to the Lu family... The north is a group of dragons without a leader, and Pingliang Mansion should also be guarded by someone.He also has four sons...

Emperor Cheng Ming's gaze became distracted, as if lost in thought.

At this moment, in the residence of the Marquis of Chong'an, Lin Zhiyuan also looked at the blooming red plums in the yard and lost his mind.He didn't even notice Lu Junzhao's cold reminders and suggestions for a while.

Lu Junzhao stood in front of Lin Zhiyuan with a sullen face, frowning slightly.Lin Zhiyuan came back to his senses suddenly, but frowned and looked at Lu Junzhao.Unceremoniously taught: "The Lin family has been in the capital for decades, although it is not as good as the Lu family, it is not without the power to protect themselves! Why do you care so much? I am not dead yet! Xining Palace is also fine .If you go to the north, you should stay well. What are you doing when you come back?"

"The sage summoned the reward, so he should return to Beijing." Lu Junzhao stood in the middle of the living room, bowed to Lin Zhiyuan expressionlessly, and said in a rigid and direct tone, "Boy, go and pay New Year's greetings to your mother-in-law." He raised his foot as he spoke Just go outside.

Lin Zhiyuan came back to his senses, stared at Lu Junzhao angrily and reprimanded: "Stop!"

Lin Zhiyuan pointed at Lu Junzhao, and was so angry that he could not speak under Lu Junzhao's expressionless gaze.After a long while, he flung off his sleeves resentfully, stared at Lu Junzhao and asked, "What about the annual ceremony?"

Lu Junzhao's eyes were stunned for a moment, his brows were slightly frowned, and then he said coldly: "Second Gate." As he spoke, he didn't care about Lin Zhiyuan's reaction, and called his mother-in-law to go to Yimei Courtyard familiarly. up.

Lin Zhiyuan stared at Lu Junzhao's back, his beard trembled several times in anger.His fingers were trembling, and his breath was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't even utter a word.When Lu Junzhao's back turned to the corridor, Lin Zhiyuan's anger dissipated suddenly, as if he was discouraged, he sighed a little dejectedly and tiredly.It seems that the capital city is not going to be peaceful.The Lin family doesn't know what to do yet.He has to arrange a way out for his children and grandchildren first!

In Yimei courtyard, Mrs. Liu pulled Lu Junzhao into the living room with a smile on his face.There is a bit of concern and worry in this smile.

"Hey, you must be busy when you come back, and the New Year is approaching, and there are many things in the palace. Why come here again?" Although the words were reproachful, there was obvious joy in his tone.

"I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to my mother-in-law." Lu Junzhao's complexion softened a bit, and he paused amid Liu's kind smile, and his voice suddenly softened.His eyes are soft, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised.With a warm and sweet smile, "Ah Wan always misses her mother-in-law."

Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, her face was both gratified and happy, but also sour and worried, her eyes were also flushed, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, suppressed the little thoughts and worries, looked at Lu Junzhao and said with a smile : "I'm fine, why should she worry about it? As long as I see you guys doing well, I feel at ease."

In the middle of the conversation, Mrs. Liu looked lovingly at the tenderness and indulgence on Lu Junzhao's face, then shook her head and sighed: "Ms. It is also a headache. That child is a mischievous one, who dares to say anything to those close to her. Don't let her temper always follow her. If she bullies you, you should take it easy and tell me later , I will teach her a lesson!"

There was a slight smile on Lu Junzhao's face, and his tone became more cheerful and uncontrollably satisfied. "Ah Wan is fine."

Liu couldn't help laughing, and then sighed with emotion. Although her son-in-law looks cold and doesn't know how to talk, she still cares about her daughter.All her life, she only hoped that her daughter could live a peaceful and comfortable life.Although the Lu family is on the cusp of the storm, but... Well, she can't expect too much, as long as Miss Wan feels good.

Thinking about it, Liu smiled and asked Lu Junzhao a few more things, about the north, about Weiyuan City, about Ah Wan... babbled for a while, and then asked him to tell Lin Wan not to think about her and so on.

When Mrs. Liu finished talking, Lu Junzhao suddenly asked, "It's cold in the north. Ah Wan said that the scenery in the south is good, and I also think it's good. Mother-in-law, go to the south to relax?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "You don't have to worry about me. The capital is better than the capital, and the south is better than the south. What's more, it's the new year, so you can't leave. When the spring warms up, you will come back To the north, I’ll go south to relax. And there’s shopkeeper Zhong, shopkeeper Liao and the others. Later I remembered, it’s just a sentence, and I can leave at any time.”

Lu Junzhao paused, frowned, thinking about how to persuade him again, but before he could speak, Mrs. Liu snatched the words with a smile: "Okay, okay, you have listened to me for a long time. Go back quickly, princess I must be thinking about you too. I am fine in the mansion, you and Miss Wan can just take care of themselves, don't worry about me!"

As he spoke, he continued to push Lu Junzhao out.

After sending Lu Junzhao away, the smile on Liu's face disappeared, replaced by a look of sadness and worry.

She is a woman, but she can see something is wrong.The daughter and son-in-law asked her to avoid going to the south again. There must be a big problem in the capital... I heard that the Holy Majesty is not in good health.I don't know how many people in the capital are staring at Chong'an Hou's Mansion and Xining Palace.

She can't go yet, this time.I'm afraid that the Lu family and the Marquis of Chong'an will never be able to escape again!Now it seems that Miss Wan is more stable in the north, and she can relax half of her heart.

Mrs. Liu frowned, her face was full of sorrow, she walked around the room twice, then suddenly stopped, and said to Madam Wei outside: "Let the boy in the concierge go to Lanyuelou to buy a jar of chrysanthemum wine and come back. "

Lanyue Tower is not closed during Chinese New Year. Even though it is the first day of Chinese New Year, there are quite a few guests.There are quite a few people who have reserved seats.Drinking at Lanyue Building at night, admiring the moon and watching fireworks is a special experience.

The waiter who delivered the wine soon arrived at the Marquis of Chong'an, but stayed for a while, and returned quickly after getting the reward.

On the other side, Lu Junzhao came out of Chong'anhou's Mansion and went all the way to Cishou Temple.

Zhou Chuan followed closely behind Lu Junzhao with a good step.A few white shadows passed by silently on the snow, Zhou Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because it is outside the capital city and on the mountain, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and there are few pedestrians in front of Cishou Temple, and the door of the temple is closed and deserted.

I saw Lu Junzhao taking Zhou Chuan up the mountain.There was no surprise on Liao Kong's face, but he still smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.He opened the door and invited the two of them into the temple.

Lu Junzhao's face was tense, he didn't wait for nothing to say, and strode towards the meditation room of the old monk Ji Wu.

Liao Kong dismissed the little novice who was sweeping the floor with a smile, and retreated himself.

Ji Wu's meditation room has not changed at all, only the relics of Ji Wu sitting on the altar are enshrined.The room is spotless, just calm and quiet, so look at it.It feels a lot more empty than before.

Lu Junzhao stared at the altar, and it took him a long time to relax slightly.He snorted reluctantly, "Ah Wan let me come and see you. Thank you for your runes." Lu Junzhao paused, his voice suddenly dropped, and his tone became a little lighter, "You gave me the rune earlier. Ordered, said to be the only star in the world. I have Ah Wan, and I will have a son in the future..."

Coming out of Ji Wu's meditation room, Lu Junzhao turned his head and went to the back mountain again.Zhou Chuan folded his hands and lazily leaned against the gate of the back mountain, his eyes were bright, and he lazily swept around the silent forest.

In the shadow of the mountain gate, a young man in a white cloak stood respectfully in front of Lu Junzhao with his head bowed.

"My lord, our people have already entered the city. According to my lord's orders, they are hidden in various places. Nearly 3000 elite soldiers in Bei'an County have been settled. According to investigations, Ye Shengying brought nearly [-] people back to Beijing. Stationed in Xishan Camp. In addition, "

The young man paused, and there was some speculation in his tone: "The Xishan camp seems to be picking people recently. The brothers under him haven't figured out the specific situation yet."

Lu Junzhao's face was stern. Hearing Zhou Wei's reply, he was silent for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised, a sneer appeared on his face, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Tell the news about Ye Shengying to the rest of the Ye family, as soon as possible!"

Zhou Wei's eyelids moved slightly, his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded excitedly.

Zhou Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth in disgust, and stared at Zhou Wei from a distance.This kid is so weak, he likes this kind of activity the most, hey, you can't teach a child!

But within a quarter of an hour, Lu Junzhao left Cishou Temple with a cold face, and returned to Xining Palace all the way.A few white shadows hidden in the surrounding guards of Cishou Temple flashed across the clear sky, and followed them down the mountain.

The 26th year of Tianchen's Spring Festival passed by particularly quickly.Under the joy and bustle of the New Year, the official residences of the major imperial courts in the capital are more or less permeated with a layer of depression and irritability.The common people are still celebrating the festival happily, and the streets are a bit more lively than in previous years.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the annual leave of the court officials was over. The Ministry of Rites had accumulated a lot of memorabilia, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites selected a few beautiful memoirs and handed them to the cabinet.

The chief assistant of the cabinet Gu Changwen and Wei Xiang looked at it one by one, and let Chen Hongzheng also look at it. After discussing, the three of them selected a few scriptures that praised meritorious deeds and spoke steadily, and read them out in the morning.

There was a gratifying smile on Emperor Cheng Ming's face, his complexion was slightly pale and thin, but he clenched his fists tightly with his fingers in his sleeves, struggling to suppress the discomfort in his body, a trace of impatience and sternness flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm tired of listening to these words every year." When Gu Changwen was chanting the third booklet, Emperor Cheng Ming interrupted Gu Changwen's cadenced chanting impatiently, waved his hands and frowned and said, "And What's up?"

Gu Changwen hurriedly collected the notes, thought for a while, took another step forward, and bowed to ask: "Hui Sheng is speaking, I have something to ask."

After a short pause, seeing Emperor Chengming looked over with a weak expression, Gu Changwen hurriedly lowered his head again, and said in a clear voice: "My sage is wise and virtuous, now the world is safe and peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the princes are all grown-ups. The good fortune of my great Qin..."

There was another burst of praise, and when Emperor Cheng Ming showed impatience, Gu Changwen followed the conversation and finally got to the business.

"I invite the sage to choose the crown prince."

As soon as these words came out, the whole court fell silent. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
