Du Heng said: "The agreement between Tubo and Dali has been signed. The Tubo envoy returned with the agreement yesterday. General Zhao Jingting no longer has to stay in Tubo. However, the selection of Qinghai general should also be put on the agenda. My subordinates thought that Ma Shangshu was the That’s basically why it’s time to face the Holy Spirit.”
Lu Zhishan nodded: "We cannot let Zhao Jingting and Xie Lun stay in Tubo. After all, General Cullen's mansion cannot remain empty."
"Does Long Live Master want to see Ma Shangshu now?" Du Heng asked.
"Let him go back first. I'll meet Prince Hui first." Lu Zhishan took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Yes, my subordinates will go right away." Du Heng was so busy that he bowed and stepped back.
After a while, Lu Zhicheng came in holding up the curtain and respectfully saluted Lu Zhishan: "My brother, I pay homage to the emperor, and I respectfully wish you the emperor's blessing!"
"Get up," Lu Zhishan stood up and walked out from behind the dragon case. He sat down on the soft couch and asked Prince Hui to sit down. "Sit down too, don't just sit there."
"Yes, thank you very much, brother." Lu Zhicheng sat on the other side of the soft couch, straightening his body and watching Lu Zhishan slowly pouring the maple dew tea, and handed him another cup, and thanked him again, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Brother."
"My family doesn't need all the red tape," Lu Zhishan said softly, looking at Lu Zhishan while sipping his tea, "Is there anything wrong with entering the palace in such a cold weather?"
"The ceremony of the emperor's enthronement has passed, and I just want to... think about returning to southern Xinjiang, so I came here to ask the emperor for permission." As Lu Zhicheng said, he knelt down again and respectfully gave Lu Zhi The mountain kowtows.
Lu Zhishan raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to let Lu Zhicheng return to southern Xinjiang, but he couldn't say this directly. After all, he felt it was unfair to Lu Zhicheng, but he didn't expect Lu Zhicheng to do it himself. After speaking, he was actually a little surprised.
"Do you really want to go back to Southern Xinjiang?" Lu Zhishan asked in a deep voice, "You should know that you will not be able to come back easily after leaving the capital this time."
Yes, after Princess Linglong's incident, Lu Zhicheng has become the most eye-catching presence in the capital. It is naturally a wise move for him to leave the capital at this time, but I am afraid that there will really be no place for him in the capital in the future.
Lu Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Brother Emperor Mingjian, this time I came to Beijing to personally present victory for the Emperor Brother's coronation ceremony, and to discuss with the Emperor Brother the post-war defense of southern Xinjiang and other issues, but I just didn't want to go out of my way. Such a scandal was unexpected, and I was even more ashamed. I originally wanted to stay in Southern Xinjiang, but after this incident, I was even more willing to stay in Southern Xinjiang for the rest of my life, and asked the emperor for permission. "
"You get up first." Lu Zhishan reached out to pull Lu Zhicheng, but Lu Zhicheng shook his head.
"Brother Imperial, please give me permission!" Lu Zhicheng was resolute, and while kowtowing to Lu Zhishan, he choked again, "Brother Imperial Mingjian, the late emperor had five sons, Prince Yong Heng died early, and the king of Baojun has a tiger and wolf heart. , I don’t regard him as my elder brother. Now that Princess Linglong has died suddenly and the Prince is seriously ill, to be disrespectful, it is unknown whether he will be able to survive the new year. Now I only have one relative, the Emperor’s brother. My elder brother has always loved my younger brother. He not only entrusted me with important responsibilities, but also treated him favorably. Although my younger brother didn’t say it with his mouth, I cherished him very much in my heart. It is said that an elder brother is like a father. The imperial brother’s weight in my heart is no greater than that of my father. I am absolutely unwilling to ruin this family relationship because of anyone and anything, so I sincerely ask the emperor to agree to let me guard the southern border for the rest of my life and devote myself to Dali and the emperor!"
