() That night, in the tent outside the city, the Minister of War and General Zhenyuan were secretly talking.
As early as on the way back to Beijing, some rumors about the ninth prince in the capital reached the ears of General Zhenyuan. He wanted to go into the city to ask the Minister of the Ministry of War where the rumor came from, but he did not expect that the Minister of War had hurried to find him outside the city, and explained to him what he had witnessed in Changchun Temple that day.
If what the Taoist nun said at that time was true, then the one who spread the news at this time was none other than the emperor himself.
Otherwise, if it wasn't for the emperor's connivance, how could such rumors spread more and more at the foot of the Emperor's Imperial City? !
On the same day, the Ministry of War Minister accidentally learned the truth about Lu Huan's life experience in Changchun Guan. On the one hand, he quietly sent people to investigate the matter. .
But he never expected that, before his plans could be put into play, the emperor had already begun to speculate at the time of Yunzhou's assassination incident.
Although the emperor's mind is unpredictable, there are traces to follow at this time. He first released rumors, and tonight he called Lu Huan into the palace late at night. I am afraid that he has already decided to announce it to the world on the Golden Palace tomorrow.
The Minister of War was in a complicated mood, and said, "I'm going to go to court tomorrow, I'm afraid that day will change."
Both he and General Zhenyuan knew that the emergence of a prince out of thin air in the palace—or, in other words, how much the restoration of a prince's identity would have on the entire court situation.
Anyone who chooses to stand in the middle of the court now either stands on the side of the crown prince or on the side of the fifth prince. There were originally some people on the second prince's side, but the second prince was called sick one after another and avoided the war in the north. After his ambition and self-preservation appearance, his sense of existence became more and more dim.
And the emperor's mind has always been unpredictable. He uses the technique of balance. No matter which of the princes protrudes slightly, he will suppress them, and if any prince falls behind, he will vigorously support them. Calling the civil and military officials to completely fail to see through the heir to the throne in his heart.
But now, the youngest ninth prince was born. It turned out to be the child of the noble man who made the whole palace stunned. Judging from the emperor's successive actions, the emperor was more partial to the ninth prince.
Although the emperor summoned him into the palace in secret tonight, there is no airtight wall in the capital. If the Minister of War can receive the news here, there must be other officials who have received the news.
Therefore, by tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be civil and military officials to approach Lu Huantao immediately.
The birth of the ninth prince has shaken the position of the prince and overshadowed the reputation of the fifth prince among the people. These two will definitely feel very uncomfortable. Although the other princes are not in the center of the game, they will also be greatly affected.
Therefore, the chess game in Beijing is afraid that it will be reshuffled.
At that time, I don't know which power and head will be involved and shaken.
General Zhenyuan is a military attache who has been on the battlefield all the year round. He is not good at the twists and turns of the court. What he thinks and measures is much simpler than that of the Ministry of War. The ninth prince left by the noble man was shocked in his heart, but what followed was joy.
"Why do you need to worry about the sky? The people suffer all the time, as long as they have the ability to sit in that position, they are worthy of our assistance! Although the old man Zhengchou found him to inherit my mantle, but as a minister, even if he is talented, he will be in the future. He couldn't escape the end of being suspicious of the emperor like the old man. In the end, he was either killed in battle or at the hands of the emperor. But I never thought that he would be the ninth prince. In this way, what he can do for the people in the future, It's a lot more than what a martial artist like me can do!"
The Minister of War was convinced by General Zhenyuan's will to serve the people. However, after thinking about it over and over again, he still felt that something was not right.
He said to General Zhenyuan: "I also admire the Captain of the Cavalry, and the ninth prince is the best for him. However, in recent months, I have checked what he has done in the past year and a half since he became an official in the court, and found that no matter what It was the Yongan Temple that helped the sick, the Kaifeng farm, or the army to fight, to raise food and grass, and it was a little too smooth for the saint to discover his life later."
"It's like—" The Minister of War frowned and paused, saying, "It's like there's always a hand behind it pushing everything."
Yes, one by one, one by one, as if from the beginning he was going to send him back to the position of His Highness Ninth.
And very thoughtful.
First, Yong'an Temple used the identity of a young genius doctor to treat refugees and win the hearts and minds of the people first. Then, he entered the Taiyuan Academy through hunting in Qiuyan Mountain, entered the Ministry of War through Taiwei Yun, and showed his horsemanship and archery skills through the management of the Ministry of War and the archery field. State and other major events that have won the hearts of the people. With these foreshadowings, Yunzhou's assassination seemed less like an accident, but as if he had known it for a long time, and took this opportunity to approach the emperor and let the emperor discover his life experience.
One link after another, he won the hearts and minds of the people, as well as the wealth of the country, as well as himself, General Zhenyuan, and supporters such as Wan Sanqian.
Revealing one's life experience, it is as if everything is ready, just waiting for the unveiling.
At this time, in the eyes of the emperor, he was not only a child left by the nobles, and the identity of the ninth prince, but more of "the young genius doctor who helped the people in Yong'an Temple", "the people who are grateful for the relief of food and disasters don't know. Famous God Merchant", and "Young Cavalry Captain who returned from the battlefield and made great achievements".
How could the emperor not be in a hurry to restore his status, so as to establish the reputation of the royal family and gather the hearts of the Yan people
And if all of this were gone, as early as a year and a half ago, when he was only a concubine of Ning Wang's mansion, someone let the emperor know that he was the premature son of the noble man back then, I am afraid that the emperor would not believe it at all. Make him a big sin! And even if he believed it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to restore his status as the ninth prince so easily.
No matter which part of it, after thinking about it, it is impossible for Lu Huan to do it alone. Even though he was young and talented, what happened to the planting technology and greenhouses that gradually emerged in Yan Kingdom? Could it be that he also invented it
So, that is to say, from the time of Yong'an Temple and Qiuyan Mountain, Lu Huan and the people behind him designed this ring
But at the Changchun Temple at that time, Lu Huan was shocked when he learned of his own life experience, but it didn't seem like a fake. The Minister of War saw it with his own eyes, so Lu Huan was completely unaware of his life experience before that.
So, from the very beginning, who was behind the scenes...
The Minister of War was puzzled, and couldn't find any clues about someone behind Lu Huan, so he had to keep the doubt in his heart and not mention it for the time being.
…
At this moment in the imperial garden, Su Xi was very flustered by Lu Huan's eyes, and his face was as hot as a boiled duck. She looked away and wanted to change the subject, but Lu Huan was still staring at her for a split second, so that her brain crashed and she didn't know what to say.
At this critical moment, the screen of Suxi's mobile phone suddenly went black, and it automatically shut down when there was no power—
Suxi: !
The screen went black, and she could no longer see Lu Huan's stubborn expression and the pair of eyes that made her flustered. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Suxi hurriedly stood up and took a photo of his cell phone, exclaiming exaggeratedly: "No power? My God, no power, oops, no power!"
"Cub, can you still see me?!" She waved her hand in the air and said regretfully, "My phone is out of battery, so it seems that I have to go offline first, woo woo woo you go back from the palace and pay attention to safety! "
Lu Huan, who was still standing in the imperial garden: "..."
The charger is on your right.
After observing her world for a long time, he found that she often used a white wire to connect her bricks to the socket. Gradually, he also learned the names of these things. Many electrical appliances need chargers, such as hot water bottles. , the same is true for mobile phones.
Suxi put the phone aside, rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and patted his hot cheeks with cold water.
And Lu Huan stood in the imperial garden for a long time, until the coolness of the night poured in from his neck, he released his fingers that were almost white, and walked along the stone curving path towards the outside of the palace.
He has longed, suppressed, and restrained for too long.
It took him half a year to have some grasp of her unknown world, and with two hundred points close at hand, he would definitely be able to see her. At this point, he would not allow any accidents... Or maybe, It was because of the presence of so many other people around her in recent days, the "school grass" blocking the door, the letters stuffed into her drawer, and the bamboo horses who knew her well. The sense of crisis brought by these made him soberly know—
He couldn't figure it out any longer.
He was also very nervous. Seeing her relieved look after turning off the screen, he felt helpless and lost... But in any case, Lu Huan was someone who never knew what it meant to retreat, even if he waited until he was old.
…
Suxi didn't sleep well that night, she tossed and turned, her face was red for no reason, and she was afraid that Lu Huan, who had the screen on, would see that she couldn't sleep, so she pulled the quilt over her head and tried her best to control her. Don't move your body, don't show your messy mood.
This consequence resulted in two dark circles on her eyes the next day. Su Xi glanced at the mirror and was startled.
The final exam has been completed, Suxi went back to school to get the final exam papers and summer homework, and the summer vacation officially started. Except during the exam period, she usually goes online every few hours to see how the cub is doing, but after the chat in the imperial garden last night, Suxi's cheeks were hot, so she didn't dare to go online casually .
When she was leaving the school, Huo Jingchuan and Gu Qin came towards her from the canteen. Huo Jingchuan didn't behave properly, and subconsciously wanted to hook her neck: "Go home together, Xixi."
Usually, Suxi also lifted his arm, ruthlessly making him roll, but he couldn't stop it, so he let him hook his shoulders. Anyway, they grew up together, and there was no gender difference at all. But for some unknown reason, when she saw Huo Jingchuan, her eyelids twitched and she glanced at the air, feeling guilty for no apparent reason, so she quickly jumped a meter away and warned, "Don't do anything to me. ."
Huo Jingchuan: "...You don't have a fever, right?"
After all, in ancient times, men and women couldn't give each other. Although Lu Huan had already started to learn modern culture, his thoughts and concepts must not have completely changed. If he saw Huo Jingchuan hooking his shoulders, his face would definitely be black... With red eyes and dark clouds above your head...
"No fever." Su Xi cautiously avoided Huo Jingchuan to prevent his salty pig hands from getting close to him.
In this way, amid Huo Jingchuan's speechlessness, Gu Qin's confusion, and her vigilance, the three of them went home with their summer homework.
Suxi entered the porch to change her shoes, and heard her mother was on the phone with a friend, saying that people often gave her gifts recently, and she gave everything, fruit and bird's nest health products, and put it at the doorman every time, leaving a note saying that she should take it, the old man Mom was puzzled and delighted: "That's a strangely beautiful character, it's still a brush calligraphy, and it's so unremarkable..."
Suxi didn't care much, he returned to his room with his homework, tidied up the desk, and planned to eliminate all summer homework in a few days, and then it would be completely relaxed in the next month or two.
She dawdled and glanced at her phone every few minutes, as if she was waiting for someone's news, but in the end she couldn't hold back and still charged and went online.
When he went to court today, as he said to Lu Huan in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor announced to the civil and military officials that he had decided to bring the seventeen-year-old ninth prince who was raised in Changchun Temple back to the palace and restore the ninth prince's status. identity.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The golden palace was like a pot was exploded, and when Lu Huan changed into the prince's attire and stepped into the palace, the civil and military officials were even more horrified.
When the Zhenyuan army returned to the outside of the capital, the first person the emperor quietly summoned was not General Zhenyuan, but a cavalry captain in the army. That night caused speculations by many ministers who knew the news. Some smart people had already guessed this. And most of them were shocked at this time.
Although Lu Huan had never been to the court before, there are many civil and military officials who knew him, especially the fifth prince and others. He couldn't figure out why he was only the concubine of Prince Ning's mansion before, but now he was caught by his father. Said to be the child of the noble man. Although I can understand after thinking about it a little - there must be something strange about the death of the noble man back then. She not only gave birth to the child quietly, but also let the child quietly be sent out of the palace - but why did the father emperor after a lapse of seventeen years? You still want to recognize Lao Jiu? !
And there were so many rumors about the Ninth Prince serving the country and the people in the capital before? Is it possible that they are all paving the way for today's Golden Palace
The faces of several princes were a little unspeakable, and the fifth prince was even more, staring at Lu Huan, his face was extremely ugly.
One of the prime minister's uncle's henchmen couldn't help but questioned on the Golden Palace: "Your Majesty, the identity of the prince is not a trivial matter, but there is evidence that if someone dares to deceive the king, it is a big sin!"
The emperor sneered: "Evidence? I am the evidence, is Aiqing questioning me?"
As soon as the words fell, the official was dragged out and went to prison directly. In this decisive way, the emperor shut up the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty.
The emperor also ordered the Taishi to come, first make a scroll, and then choose a day to announce it to the world.
The boat is done, although this incident caused an uproar, but under the emperor's insistence, the final decision was made. What shocked the civil and military officials was that, at some point, General Zhenyuan, the Minister of War, Taiwei Yun and others had quietly stood behind the ninth prince. To say that the most difficult bones in the court were General Zhenyuan and the Minister of War. The two hold military power in their hands, and they do not form a party for personal gain, nor can any prince send a few boxes of gifts to beauties—but this ninth prince, everyone is looking at him with complicated eyes, how did he achieve this step? , As soon as he recovered his identity, he let these few make up their minds to stand behind him.
In this way, civil and military officials look at their noses and hearts, and their hearts have quietly changed...
The imperial court was turbulent, and the forces in the capital suddenly experienced huge changes.
When Suxi went online, it had already happened for most of the day. She found Zizai on the map, and found that Zizai was in the house that she had purchased before heading to the North.
At this time, it seems that the emperor has sealed the prince's mansion, and the housekeeper and the royal guard are moving things for him.
There will be a night banquet tonight, and the emperor will also come.
At this moment, the threshold of the mansion was almost broken, and countless officials in the capital came to send gifts and congratulate the Ninth Prince on his return.
This is the case in the capital, fawning on power, holding high and stepping on low, people who have had an intersection with the cub before are in the midst of a huge shock, never expected that the matter of the ninth prince that has been rumored in recent days, it turned out to be true. , and he was also a young cavalry captain under General Zhenyuan who made great contributions in the northern battle this time!
The officials who know the current affairs don't care about where the cub was and what he did before, only that he is now the ninth prince of the emperor's golden mouth, so it is the ninth highness, and they rushed up to greet him.
The main entrance of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was very lively, and the officials congratulated each other, but Suxi looked around, but found that the cub was at the side door, and it seemed that he was solving a difficult problem.
She cut the interface to take a look, and saw—
At the side door, there were several imperial guards blocking the slightly embarrassed old lady. The old lady knocked on the ground with a silver staff and showed anger: "Lu Huan, you are ungrateful. Shusun, how did you become a prince?"
When the people in Ning Wangfu heard the news from the Golden Palace today, their mentality had collapsed. It was obviously the concubine of Ning Wangfu. Why did the emperor say that he was raised in Changchun Guan since he was a child? Why did he suddenly become the ninth prince
Concubine Ning and the brothers Lu Yu'an now recalled that when they dealt with Lu Huan at that time, not only did they fail, but they also failed several times. It was as if someone was protecting him behind him.
If it is the Ninth Prince who they offend, then they are finished! Now that I think about it, could it be that the fall of the Shangguan family has something to do with Lu Huan? !
Concubine Ning and the others were both hateful and anxious, but now that they are already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, they cannot protect themselves, and they have no ability to deal with Lu Huan, who has become the ninth prince.
Among them, the one who felt even more dizzy and dark in front of her eyes was the old lady.
Since Lu Huan entered the court as an official, she has always hoped that this concubine of Prince Ning's mansion can stand out and bring glory to Prince Ning's mansion again. Unexpectedly, in the end, Lu Huan was indeed honored, but it was His Royal Highness the ninth prince who turned into a thousand gold, and she also pointed at the chess pieces that brought benefits to Ning Wangfu, but they disappeared in an instant.
She fainted from anger, and when she woke up again, she wanted to ask Lu Huan for an explanation.
But at this time, Lu Huan was not what it used to be. There was already the Imperial Forest Army by his side, and she couldn't even meet him, so she lost her head and began to curse, and only then did Lu Huan come out to see him.
The steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was the emperor's pro-sect. He stared at Sapo's old lady and said angrily, "Prince Ning, do you know that insulting the prince in public is a death penalty for beheading? Your grandson has already died in battle, and the emperor will treat Ning kindly. Wangfu, but if you cry again, the whole family will be killed."
The old lady was stuck in her throat with blood stuck in her throat, staring at Lu Huan, and she had the thought of dying together with Lu Huan. She squeezed hard and was almost thrown out of the door by Yu Linwei.
Lu Huan raised his hand and asked Yu Linwei to stop.
The old lady squeezed forward desperately, grabbed his clothes, pinched him fiercely, and her eyes were splitting: "I sent you to become an official in the court, and you only have today!"
When Suxi saw the old lady pinching the cub, the cub frowned, obviously hurt by the pinch.
She was a little angry. In the first 14 or 15 years in Ning Wangfu, the old lady never asked, even if the cub died, the old lady would not care. Zaizai got the top spot from Qiuyan Mountain and stepped into the officialdom. These were all won by Zaizai himself. What does it have to do with the old lady? !
The old lady gave the cub from the beginning to the end, but that was the firewood yard, but that was the one that the cub gave his life to rescue the old lady from the cold stream in exchange for it!
She is still accusing the cubs of being ungrateful now? What kind of favor did she give the cub? !
If it weren't for the deep-rooted traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, Suxi would have torn the old lady away from the cub at this moment.
"You and I don't have any kindness or support, so why are you ungrateful? If you don't make trouble and stop being greedy and delusional, there will be nothing wrong with Prince Ning's mansion, but if you come again, don't blame me for being rude."
Lu Huan looked at the old lady indifferently, slowly pulled off the old lady's hand holding her robe, and instructed the subordinate next to her: "Send her back to take care of her old age."
The old lady seemed to have all her hopes dashed and her hair was gray. Why, her other two grandchildren were all worthless waste, and she finally thought that she could rely on Lu Huan to revive the glory of Ning Wang's mansion in the past. It's not the blood of Prince Ning's mansion!
It's all the bitch who gave birth to Lu Huan back then!
The old lady had lost her mind, and she was still scolding, but Yu Linwei covered her mouth and dragged it out through the side door. Seeing this, the servants of Prince Ning's mansion who carried the sedan chair to escort the old lady, all shivered, dropped the sedan chair and ran away.
…
The front door of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was lively, while the side door was a mess. Lu Huan lowered his eyebrows and glanced at his robe that was torn by the old lady, frowned, and turned back to change. The housekeeper hurriedly instructed Yu Linwei to guard the entire mansion, and no one was allowed to make trouble.
Lu Huan entered the room, rolled up his sleeves and glanced, Suxi found that his arms were all pinched by the old lady, he was accustomed to this little injury, but he didn't feel anything, but Suxi felt a little distressed in his eyes.
The old lady, who was not related by blood, was kind to him at first, but she was using him. The blood-related emperor treats him a little better, but he still carries calculations and uses.
Seeing that his hand was inconvenient, Suxi stroked his sleeve and said, "I'm here."
Lu Huan's twitched eyebrows were suddenly smoothed out as if seeing the sun, and they were loosened. He smiled and opened the curtain: "You are here."
When Su Xi looked at him, his burning eyes flashed in his mind that night in the Imperial Garden, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She doesn't speak, he doesn't speak, just looks at her.
"… "
The two suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere again.
Suxi's face blushed and her heartbeat was finally suppressed, and her face was inexplicably hot. She coughed and said, "Does it hurt? Why didn't you avoid it just now?"
"It hurts." Lu Huan sighed faintly, he sat down on the bed, raised his head, and said to Su Xi: "There seems to be a spot on the back of the shoulder, it's bruised, it hurts badly, but I can't rub it away by myself. "
Suxi's eyelids jumped, what, what do you mean? Do you want her to knead for him
Lu Huan stood up, unbuttoned his outer robe, and wore a snow-white coat like cedar. He rolled up the sleeve of his right arm and rolled it up to his shoulders, revealing his slender, clean-lined arms. The skin on his shoulders seemed to be brushed. A layer of white glaze.
Suxi: ... !
Suxi almost thought he was going to take off his clothes, but fortunately he just rolled up his right sleeve.
He looked at Su Xi, showed Su Xi the bruise on the back of his shoulder, and repeated: "It hurts."
Suxi looked at his clean and strong arm, blushing and heartbeat, and stammered: "I can't rub it off by myself, shouldn't there be a maid, a maid or something in the house? You also know that my strength is not light or heavy through the phone, I can't help you knead well."
Lu Huanding looked at her, sighed faintly, sat down again, and lowered his arms: "You were not like this before. When I couldn't bear the cold before, you..."
He seemed to think about the past, a little melancholy, and sighed heavily again.
Suxi: ...
No, you used to be a white dumpling, and it's nothing if you look at it all... But now, how to look at the slender and strong arms makes people shudder.
"You asked me the emperor a few days ago and that night, and I said that the emperor is ruthless and thinks differently." Lu Huan raised his dark eyelashes, and said quietly: "Xiaoxi, your actions now are no different from the emperor."
Suxi's head was buzzing when he read it. Seeing that he raised his head and continued to say something that was not surprising, Suxi's scalp froze, and hurriedly said: "Stop, stop! Knead, I'll give it to you. Can't you knead it?"
Lu Huan raised his arm, his ears were slightly red.
Su Xi resignedly poked his arm, poked it, and then got some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine from the mall and put it on.
I don't know why, when this person was a brat in the past, it felt natural to do this, but now, just looking at his exposed white shoulders, Su Xi felt a little feverish.
"Ah..." Lu Huan sighed again when he saw her hesitation.
Su Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Oh shit, I'm rubbing it! Oh, go offline again!"
Lu Huan looked away, and although he tried his best to hold back, there was still a bit of light in his eyes.
The author has something to say: I will wear it once tomorrow!
