"Come here, show the old man Lu Ge a seat." Li Qitian ordered in a deep voice.
Li Guanwen immediately responded and ordered the little servants to bring the official hat chair and put it in the first place.
Lu Ge was wearing a red official uniform, and he knelt down and gave a big salute: "Old minister, thank you very much."
As soon as he saw that the old guy looked so respectful and humble, Li Qitian became angry, obviously he didn't have the heart to be loyal to the king, and he still acted like this. What is this not deceiving the king
"You are an old minister and my humerus minister. In order to end the war as soon as possible and for the sake of the world, I have always been grateful for the Lu family's help. Now, in front of me, why is there no one from Lu Lao? Location?"
Li Qitian has a good smile and is very friendly.
The slender body of Lu Ge, who has been moved by the old man, trembled with his beard, and saluted with a moving expression: "The old minister is willing to go through fire and water for the saint to repay the saint's kindness!"
Said to bow down again.
Li Qitian glanced at him, and Li Guanwen immediately stepped forward to help Mr. Lu Ge up.
Li Qitian said: "You still don't help Lu Lao to take a seat?"
Li Guanwen smiled and said, "You old man, please take a seat. Sheng Shangman cares about the old minister the most in his heart."
"Xie Sheng, Xie Sheng." Lu Ge sat down halfway in the official hat chair with tears in his eyes.
Li Qitian rubbed his forehead tiredly when he lowered his head.
When Lu Ge looked up, Li Qitian was still his usual appearance.
"Elder Lu, do you know why I summoned you today?"
The old man Lu Ge nodded and said sincerely: "The Holy Master must be for the drought in the south. The Holy Master does not need to worry, the Holy Master is the real dragon and the emperor, and he is blessed by God. Since Dayan surrendered and the land belongs to us, Dazhou, the drought in their place. It has already been relieved. This is only because of the profound blessings of the Holy One, it can benefit the people!"
Lu Ge was always really old, but he tried his best to speak so loudly that his body was trembling, and Li Guanwen, who was on the side, was terrified. not come up. If something happened in the imperial study, how would you explain it to the Lu family
But what Lu Ge said was equivalent to drinking another barrel of oil for Li Qitian who was full of anger.
Li Qitian gritted his teeth, so that anger didn't come out of his mouth.
What a loyal and patriotic minister!
Since he is so loyal and patriotic, why would he allow his grandson to do such things!
If it was someone else, the reprimand would have been said long ago.
But in the face of the sincere and moved Lu Ge, thinking of his identity as the patriarch of the Lu family, thinking of the calculations hidden in every wrinkle, Li Qitian still managed to endure it, and sighed calmly. .
"Although I have the blessing of God and the help of ministers, I can conquer this country, but Lu Lao also knows that the North Ji country that I took over has long been devastated."
"Hey, that's right. It's been a lot of hard work over the past few years." Elder Lu Ge also sighed.
Li Qitian said: "It doesn't matter if I work hard, what matters is the people of the world. Now the treasury is empty. The food and rewards that should have been given when the Huben army attacked Dayan have not been fulfilled. The drought in the south has caused the people to be displaced, and the people in the north have been displaced. The Tartars are staring at them, the mountains and rivers are devastated, calculations are needed everywhere, and money is needed everywhere. But the state of our treasury, Lu Ge also knows. "
When Lu Ge heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Sacred Lord, the old minister is willing to share his worries for the saint. When the old minister goes back, he will find a way to raise money."
Li Qitian choked on his answer.
What he said was like he was crying poor and asking the old minister for money!
He raised funds, can he raise so much money for that treasure!
This old thing is obviously just pretending to be stupid here, ignoring the mistakes made by Lu Heng!
Li Qitian's patience is running out. If it wasn't for his status as an emperor, and if it wasn't for the mud-legged farmer, he would probably have pounced on this old and cunning guy on the ground and punched him a few times. !
Li Qitian's suppressed anger caused Li Guanwen's coldness to take a few steps back.
Elder Lu Ge was completely unaware, and there were tears in his eyes, and he swore to assure: "Sir, this old minister will definitely find a way to raise money!"
This sentence is like the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Li Qitian stood up abruptly and said solemnly, "Elder Lu Ge, I respect you, and don't give me an inch!"
Lu Ge was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and hurriedly knelt down tremblingly, his forehead pressed against the ground in a trembling voice: "Sacred Lord, calm down, old minister, old minister doesn't understand..."
"You don't understand! I look at your heart like a mirror! I ask you, do you know that I am looking for the treasure of Dayan!"
"The old minister knows."
"Then you let your grandson escape with my treasure map!"
"what?"
Old Lu Ge raised his head in astonishment, and realized that his behavior of looking directly at Tianyan was really inappropriate, he hurriedly lowered his head, shook his head again and again and said, "Impossible, how could such a thing happen? The old minister's grandson Ruozhen If you get the treasure, you must present it to the Holy One first, how could he…”
"You mean I framed your family Lu Heng?"
"Old minister dare not!" Lu Ge hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
"Misunderstanding? I just got the whereabouts of the treasure map and ordered someone to find it, and I saw your precious grandson with the treasure map being escorted out of the capital by people!"
"This, this... The old minister doesn't know. Brother Heng didn't report this matter at all, that little bastard! How dare he do this! Let the old minister know where he went and absolutely won't let him go!"
"What Aiqing means, you don't know everything he does?"
"You really don't know!" Lu Ge was so anxious that he burst into tears, "That bastard, how dare you act like this! It's really mad at me, and it's mad at me!"
Lu Ge was crying and crying, and he began to have difficulty breathing, and fell to the ground with shaking hands.
Li Guanwen hurriedly went up to help: "Elder Lu Ge, are you okay?" The questioning looked at Li Qitian, if you don't want to cause a big disaster at this time, you should pass the imperial doctor.
Li Qitian glared at this old man with gritted teeth, really wanting him to just die here.
But if the helm of the Lumen family had an accident in the imperial study, it would be hard to tell and the consequences would be extremely serious.
Thinking of this, Li Qitian could only ask with concern in a deep voice, "Elder Lu, are you alright? Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"
"Old minister, old minister, no, it's okay, the old minister is really, that unfilial son, really pissed off the old minister!"
Li Qitian looked at the face of his loyal minister who had not forgotten to curse his unworthy descendants in the pain, and almost spit out blood. He simply turned around, looking out of sight and out of mind.
The imperial physician quickly rushed to the imperial study room to diagnose and treat Mr. Lu Ge.
"Go back to the sage, Lu Ge has been in the spring and autumn, and he has been stimulated and frightened again. He is angry and emotional, which causes him to have a strong false fire, which is why he fainted for a moment. Well, Lu Ge should always pay attention to controlling his emotions, and he must not be too excited."
The ten loyal and honest people of the imperial doctor did not dare to look directly at the face of the saint, so he didn't see every word he said, and Li Qitian's face was a bit ugly.
Li Guanwen had already shrank his shoulders, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, for fear of being affected by the anger of the saint.
Li Qitian pursed his lips and looked at Old Lu Ge silently.
The old man Lu Ge felt a chill on his back, he hurriedly knelt up straight, and saluted: "The sage forgives the sin, the old minister will order someone to capture the unfilial son and let the sage deal with him!"
Will he be willing to hand over his favorite grandson
This is clearly a superficial effort, to take him as an army!
If Li Qitian's discovery is too mean, the family will be completely on guard.
Just being defensive is secondary.
If the Lumen aristocratic family was afraid and rebelled with the other big families, Li Qitian thought that he did not have the ability to put out the fire.
Therefore, even if he was holding back his breath, he could only swallow it in a foolish way.
"Forget it, it wasn't Old Man Lu's fault. It was just because I was so angry that I didn't control my emotions."
"Your Highness, the old minister is frightened, and the old minister is ashamed." Lu Ge was lying on the ground, crying again.
Seeing him like this, Li Qitian was really annoyed. He couldn't do anything to him, so he had to be kind to comfort him.
The final result was that Li Qitian Xingxing was not guilty, and he had to appease the emotions of the old minister. He also ordered the eunuch chief beside him to personally send the old minister back to the mansion, and also rewarded a bunch of medicinal herbs and supplements.
Li Qitian was sulking while sitting in the imperial study, and refused to see anyone.
When Lu Ge returned home, he politely thanked Li Guanwen and gave him a first-class seal.
After Li Guanwen said his farewell and left, Lu Ge returned to the upper courtyard of the back house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Heng, who Li Qitian said should leave the capital, was sitting on the kang by the window, holding a book and eating snacks.
"Grandfather, you're back." Lu Heng wanted to go down to the ground to salute.
Lu Ge waved his hand, sat down opposite Lu Heng, and grabbed some snacks to eat.
"Grandfather, did the Holy One embarrass you?"
Lu Ge smiled and said, "He does, but does he have the courage?"
Lu Heng smiled, "If the grandfather heard this, he would blow his lungs."
"You haven't seen him just now. He is worried that I will die in his imperial study and it will be difficult to explain. Why don't I worry that he will be angry?" Lu Ge smiled refreshingly, and said after a while: "Tomorrow When you're ready, go out. When you go out, safety is the top priority. Our family is not short of money. It doesn't matter if the treasure is found or not, as long as you come back safely. "
"Even if we can't find it, we can't let that one find it. But don't worry, grandfather, I'm just going out to play. I'll take care of my own safety." Lu Heng smiled.
Looking at the grandson of Gui Qingjun, Lu Ge said sternly: "Brother Heng, you are not too young, the continuation of the string..."
"Grandfather. The grandson is now in a difficult situation, except that Wushan is not a cloud."
