In the original book, whenever the queen mother has something in trouble, can't solve it, or needs to give in to her original body, Furong will come to send something related to the old love, and then Furong will tearfully recite two sentences about the queen mother's difficulties, pain, and human form. I lost weight, and when Yuan was in pain, I persuaded Yuan to take a step back and write a blank check, saying that when the little emperor grows up, the two of them can live together.
In the end, the original body gave in all, and the queen mother was stunned that she didn't eat at all.
Besides, Lu Ze couldn't understand the queen mother in his heart.
In the original work, the heroines of the Queen Mother and Yu Xuemei are described as being extraordinarily strong, independent, and skillful, and can be called unparalleled resourcefulness.
But looking at those methods, they are all tossing about love and love, and wisdom is used to control men, and the strategy is really not obvious.
Lu Ze didn't want to get involved in this messy emotional drama where you love me, I can't help but I am painful.
In the struggle for imperial power, if you want to fight, you simply fight.
After hearing Butler Chen's reply, Furong stood there for a while, before she said sternly, "Butler Chen, you can reply clearly."
Butler Chen said, "It's not the first time the girl has come to the house."
Yes, it's not the first time, that is, the regent really doesn't want to see her.
Furong lowered her eyes, a little sad, and asked again: "Is the regent still angry because of the last banquet?"
"The Prince Regent has taught the Shizi County Master a lesson since the palace banquet, but he has been in a good mood these few days and is not angry."
How can you not see her if you are not angry
Furong obviously didn't believe what Butler Chen said, so she sighed and said, "Steward Chen, please send a message to the Regent for me, saying that the Empress Dowager has been worrying too much these past few days, and the old problem of head wind has been committed again, the Regent. No matter what decision Wang makes, please remember three points."
Butler Chen is also a person who has been with the original body for a long time. Naturally, he knows the affection of the regent for the queen mother, and he never dares to neglect Furong, so he naturally responds again and again.
After Furong left, she came to Lu Ze to report.
After listening to Lu Ze, his face was expressionless, "I don't need to pass this kind of words to me in the future."
"Yes." While looking back, Butler Chen looked at Lu Ze's expression. Seeing that he was still enjoying the singing and dancing without being moved, he knew that the Prince Regent had really let go this time.
Butler Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this time is really going to change.
He has followed the Prince Regent for more than ten years, and he saw with his own eyes that the Prince Regent made his way through the mountains of swords and the sea of fire.
The life of their family was saved by the regent, and he naturally wouldn't complain about what the regent wanted to do.
But on the Queen Mother's side, that's all for use.
Now that Lu Ze came out, he felt comforted for a while. Butler Chen hooked his body and said, "The old slave is very happy that the prince regent can let go."
Lu Ze patted him on the shoulder, the original body was confused by the plot, and it was those who followed him loyally.
In the original plot, Butler Chen was finally killed by five horses.
Furong reported back to the queen mother. The queen mother thought that Lu Ze might still be angry, and planned to see him in person. Who knew that news came from the court the next day that Yunzhou Prefecture had decided, and it was Geng Shiren.
The queen mother was overjoyed, and sure enough, the regent still cares about his old feelings.
As for the impeachment of Cao Da by Lu Ze's party members, the queen mother only thought that Lu Ze needed to vent, and let the emperor let him.
Soon, Geng Shiren took up the post of Yunzhou and left Beijing.
On the same day, Cao Keda left Beijing to serve as the county magistrate of the border town. If there were no accidents, it would be impossible for him to enter Beijing in this life.
Lu Key stayed in the room for almost half a month and still didn't want to go out. She was locked in the room all day to read the history book that Lu Ze gave her.
Lu Ze knew she was running away.
One day, a green-clothed girl walked in with an invitation card, "The county lord, Prince Yong's birthday, the regent asked you to congratulate you on your behalf."
Lu Key stared at the maid for a while, "Who are you?"
"The slave servant was assigned by the regent to serve the county master today, slave servant Ah Jin."
"I do not want to go."
Ajin's face was cold, as if the joys and sorrows in this world had nothing to do with her, "The county master, this is the order of the regent, and the clothes and accessories have been prepared."
After all, A Jin directly took down Lu Key and forced her to change into clothes.
Prince Yong's mansion, bursts of laughter, very lively.
Lu Key was sitting in the sedan chair, with panic in his heart.
She was afraid that, as a woman, she had lost her innocence and should not have lived in the world. Now that she has left the house, outsiders still don't know how to laugh at her.
A Jin opened the sedan curtain and grabbed Lu Key's arm. Lu Key struggled desperately, it hurt a lot, but she was not the opponent of the dark guard who had been inhumanly trained since she was a child, and was quickly dragged out.
A Jin pretended to support her, grabbed her arm tightly, and handed the invitation to the guard.
The guard read: "Pearl County Lord."
Suddenly, all the excitement at the door stopped.
The contemptuous eyes of those who saw the joke made Lu Key feel ashamed. She wanted to escape, but she ran away.
Suddenly, A Jin said coldly, "The county master, you are the third grade county master, the daughter of the regent, please pay attention to your manners."
Lu Key's eyes were red, she didn't understand, why did her father force her
She wanted to run away, but she couldn't take it!
Lu Yue turned around and ran away, A Jin grabbed her wrist.
Lu Yue wanted to shake A Jin's hand away, but A Jin was a secret guard and had received the most severe training.
Lu Yue was anxious, and slapped A Jin on the face.
A very loud snap.
A Jinsheng received this slap without twisting his neck.
"You, why don't you hide?" Lu Yue could see that A Jin knew martial arts, so she would take action. She knew she could dodge.
A Jin's voice was still cold and calm, "County Lord, you are the dignified third-rank Pearl Princess. Does your dignity only depend on your innocence?"
"I... I'm afraid..." Lu Yue lowered her head.
"Master, A Jin will protect you."
Lu Yue stared at A Jin. A Jin seemed to be a tool without emotion. Not only was his speech always calm and self-sufficient, but his eyes didn't seem to have a trace of warmth.
However, the phrase "A Jin will protect you" fell into her heart like a stone.
"County Lord, as long as Ajin has a breath, he will protect you from any harm. This is my promise."
promise…
After Ajin finished speaking, Lu Key was pushed into Prince Yong's mansion.
There were people saluting Lu Key all the way, but after the salutations, the young masters of the noble family avoided her far away, as if they were hiding from a plague god.
Lu Key was helped and sat down in the birthday reception living room.
Three or two young ladies from aristocratic families hid aside and whispered.
"This is the Princess Pearl? Look at the twisted waist, I'm not ashamed."
"Since ancient times, a woman was finally innocent. She did such a scandal, and she still had the face to live in the world."
"Don't say it, don't say it, he is the county owner, even if it's a broken shoe, you don't have to worry about getting married."
"If I were her, I would have been hanged by a rope long ago. It would be a shame."
"Stop talking, look, she's here."
"Who do you think she's looking at? Besides us, there are quite a few guards in this direction? Maybe she sees that pariah again and plans to have another spring breeze at the banquet."
"Sister Sun, your mouth is so poisonous."
"She doesn't blame us, does she?"
"She dares. She doesn't look at any virtues, and she still thinks about my emperor's brother."
The most gorgeously dressed is the current Chang'an County Master, the emperor's cousin, the granddaughter of Prince Yong, and the most not to deal with the regent.
After some teasing, the Chang'an County Master walked to Lu Key's side and looked at her with his neck raised, "Have you heard of Mrs. Yunliang from Qian Chao?"
Lu Key sat on the spot, tears welling in his eyes.
How could she not hear those words
Sun Yunchu, the daughter of the former crown prince and grand master, who had always admired the emperor, smiled and said, "But that husband died in battle on the day of his worship, and kept the festival for ten years. Later, he was slandered and lost his innocence. He hit a pillar and died to prove his innocence, Mrs. Yunliang? "
Chang'an County Master looked at Lu Key with contempt, "Yunliang County Master is a role model for our women in this world. It's a shame to be slandered and innocent. If you can't clean it up, it's better to die, and you can be considered a hero of the world. Stealing life is shameful."
Lu Key lowered his head, tugged at the corner of his clothes tightly, and begged Ajin timidly: "Ajin, come back, I can't take it anymore."
Instead, A Jin took a step forward, staring at the Chang'an County Master, and Fushen asked, "Your Majesty, if a woman loses her innocence, is she a filthy and filthy woman, and she can only apologize for her sins with death, not worthy of living in the world?"
The princess of Chang'an was stared at by Ah Jing's untempered gaze, but she forced herself to remain calm, "Of course, chastity is more important than life. This is the ancestral motto of the ancestors."
"That's it." Ah Jin said, and quickly came to the Chang'an County Master, grabbing her belt with one hand and her collar with the other, only to hear a clatter, and the Chang'an County Master's coat was taken off , the lining was also torn open, revealing the pink apron inside.
what!
what-
With a few exclamations, the ladies of the aristocratic family turned pale.
There are many foreign men present at this banquet today!
That bellyband is exposed, can you still get married in the future
The Princess Chang'an fell to the ground, dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to cry out.
Rong Shizi, the elder brother of Chang'an County Master, rushed over immediately after hearing the sound, wrapped Chang'an in his cloak, drew out his long sword, and pointed it at Lu Key. Of course, he would not think that A Jin had such courage as a servant girl. Lu Key will be held accountable.
"Mingzhu County Master, today is my Prince Yong's house holding a banquet. I don't know where I offended the County Master, and I want to humiliate my sister in public?"
A Jin knelt down and raised the belt of the Chang'an County Lord that he had just taken off with both hands, "The County Lord said that as a woman, chastity is more important than life, and since he lost his innocence, he asked the Chang'an County Lord to apologize."
"Slave dog, you are so brave!" Rong Shizi swung his long sword and slashed directly across A Jin's snow-white neck. A Jin leaned back, and the sword could kill her by just one millimeter.
Lu Key stared at everything, her hand holding the corner of the clothes was shaking, her body was shaking, and her whole soul was shaking.
A Jin hides, his expression is still cold, and he refuses to give in half a step, "Sir, the prince of Mingzhu County is the daughter of the prince regent, and the prince of the third rank in the court, the prince of Chang'an is only the fourth rank. The slaves are given by the prince regent, the prince regent I personally ordered the slaves to protect the county master Zhou Quan. The master of Chang'an is disrespectful to the master of Mingzhu county, and the slaves and slaves can naturally admonish them on their behalf."
"How dare you, a servant, dare to take the initiative against the county? Oh! Does the prince regent think we have no one in Prince Yong's mansion?" Prince Rong said with a cold brow, "I will kill your servant today, let's see if the prince regent dares Ask this prince's sin!"
The sentence "The regent personally ordered the slaves to protect the county master Zhouquan" made Lu Key tremble even more.
Her father was supporting her. They were all known traitors, so what if she lost her innocence
Could it be that her dignity only comes from the word innocence
No, it's power!
She is the only dignified third-rank Pearl Princess in the Feng Dynasty, and even the royal people are lower than her!
Snapped!
The glass shattered to the ground.
Lu Key clenched his fists and scolded loudly, "Sir Rong, today you invited this county master to the birthday banquet, and now the Chang'an county master deliberately humiliated this county master, shouldn't this county master be held accountable? You questioned Ben with a sword. The county master, you want to kill the personal maid of the county master again, don't you take our regent's palace in the eyes?"
"The Lord of Pearl County is in a big battle!" Rong Shizi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget, no matter how noble the regent is, this world is also the royal world!"
"This county lord didn't discuss the world with you today, so this county lord asked you if Chang'an disrespected this county lord, and uttered maddened words about whether it should be admonished by this county lord."
"Okay, good, very good." Rong Shizi's face was blue, "It seems that the regent does not care about the royal family."
"Prince Yong's Mansion can't replace the royal family!"
"Then I will kill you, a traitor and thief for the emperor today!" Rong Shizi's long sword Leng Feng confronted Lu Key. Lu Key was trying to hold on to his aura, but this time his face turned pale, A Jin's figure flashed past, and a dagger cut it off Rong Shizi's long sword.
"Come here!" Rong Shizi ordered.
"Stop!" Prince Yong hurried over with the help of his servants, and reprimanded a group of palace guards.
"Grandpa, this witch..."
"Shut up!"
Prince Yong said while panting, "Don't bring your sister back to the backyard."
"grandfather."
"Go back." Prince Yong lowered his voice.
Rong Shizi had to leave with Chang'an County Master.
Prince Yong said: "It's all a misunderstanding, the commotion between the little daughters, let's go."
After retreating from the crowd outside the park, Prince Yong said to Lu Key: "Yao'er, I'm also your elder, and if Mingzhu is wrong, you should give me three points for my face. You did this thing. pass."
Lu Keyang held a sigh of relief, but now he relaxed and didn't know what to say.
Acting Lord Ajin replied, "Ajin's own opinion on this matter. On behalf of the county lord Ajin, he apologized to the prince and asked the prince to punish him."
Prince Yong carefully looked at the woman in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant. Seeing the red dark guard brand on her wrist, his heart trembled.
This is the brand of the Dark Guards that the Prince Regent personally cultivated, and it is the top mark of the Dark Guards.
Such a secret guard, the regent prince actually gave it to Lu Yue
a woman
Prince Yong couldn't help but reconsider Lu Yue's value, "Since I know it's wrong, forget about it."
"Thank you, Lord, for your forgiveness."
Prince Yong left, and the ladies of the noble family in the garden also saluted and prepared to leave.
Ah Jin's cold voice thought again, "Miss Sun, please stay."
Sun Yunchu shivered all over.
The remarks about Mingzhu County just now were the most poisonous to her.
Sun Yunchu fell to the ground, tears like rain, "Mingzhu County Lord spare your life, Mingzhu County Lord spare your life, it's Yunchu who is cheap."
Ajin looked at Lu Key, "County Lord, how to deal with it?"
Lu Key looked at A Jin puzzled.
A Jin said: "The county lord, don't kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, and there may be rumors in the future."
Hearing this, Sun Yunchu trembled even more, "County Lord, my father is the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's most respected teacher. Please forgive me this time for my father's sake."
A Jin: "Please show me the county master."
Lu Key looked at Sun Yunchu, and suddenly there was a sense of relief in his chest, which was a beautiful feeling.
I had this feeling just now when I watched Ah Jin tore Chang'an's shirt.
She looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her with a look of fear.
She had seen this look before.
It was for her father, and it was for the emperor.
Lu Key gave the order with unprecedented firmness, "Since you like to chew your tongue, then pull out your tongue, let's see if she will dare!"
"The county lord spares your life, the county lord spares your life... Lu Key, you poisonous woman, the emperor will never like you if you do this!"
Sun Yunchu was dragged away.
Lu Key looked at the shivering crowd, at the women who looked like delicate flowers, and the cowardly man who was watching across the lake, and suddenly understood what this thing that made her feel comfortable.
is power.
The most sought after and obsessed thing in the world.
It's the sweetest and most magical thing in the world.
She now has the power of life and death, with the help of her father.
Anything that makes her unhappy, she can handle anyone who is uncomfortable.
Once Pandora's Gate is opened, it can never be closed.
Those who have held power will never be willing to let it go.
Lu Key suddenly understood the purpose of Lu Ze showing her those history books.
I also understand why my father said her vision was too narrow.
As long as there is power, what in the world cannot be obtained
Even if you can't get it, you can destroy it.
After returning to the mansion, she stood in the study and asked Lu Ze, "Father, will the power you give me today will always be given to me in the future?"
Lu Ze raised his head and glanced at her, his eyes as light as water did not fluctuate, "Power is not a reward, it is acquired by myself."
If you want to always have this power to do whatever you want, you have to work hard to grab it yourself.
Whether from the royal hands or his hands.
"Including father and brother?"
Lu Ze stopped his writing pen, and his heavy eyes fell on Lu Yue's eyes, where ambitions were written, and his thin lips parted lightly, "Including the world."
"I see, Father, thank you."
After the birthday banquet, Prince Yong was resting on the bed, and Prince Rong said indignantly, "Grandpa, let's forget about this?"
Prince Yong did not answer Rong Shizi's words, but sighed: "He is about to tear his face."
"You mean?" Rong Shizi was stunned. "No, it's impossible. Even if Lu Ze can control the capital, what about other states and provinces? He only controls half of it."
Prince Yong shook his head, he didn't understand, "You go to the palace and report today's affairs to the empress dowager, especially the empress dowager."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The little emperor and the queen mother heard about this, and immediately invited Zhang Ge Lao.
The little emperor asked worriedly, "Is Lu Ze planning to rebel?"
Mr. Zhang Ge shook his head, "If we rebel, we would have to dormant and suddenly revolt before we can be caught off guard. The prince regent had no deep affection for his deceased wife and children, and suddenly condoned Lu Key's arrogant behavior. He may have other plans."
The queen mother asked: "Can Zhang Ge Lao explain clearly, Ai's heart really can't be at ease."
Zhang Ge said: "The old minister thought that the regent's move was to test his power."
"Test your own power?" Rong Shizi was puzzled.
Zhang Ge said: "As long as a person is in a high position and has power, he will start to indulge and enjoy the desire and control brought by power. He is testing how much his power can bring."
"Humph! I see that he just wants to abolish me and replace me!"
Zhang Ge said: "If you let it go, I'm afraid it won't be long."
The little emperor was losing his temper, but Zhang Ge was really frightened when he said that.
"Elder Zhang Ge, what should the Ai family and the emperor do?"
"Now, the Prince Regent controls the military power of the capital, and most of the defenders in the capital only listen to the Prince Regent's orders, but half of the prefectures and counties are loyal to the emperor. Relying on the Queen Mother, as far as the old officials know, the Regent has a lot of affection for the Queen Mother…”
Hearing this, the little emperor's face was ugly.
Let me ask, which son in the world would like to see his mother have an affair with an enemy for himself
Zhang Ge was loyal and ignored the face of the little emperor, "...The queen mother can persuade her with good words. Third, the emperor, does the Lord of Pearl County adore you?"
The little emperor's face was even more ugly, "What does Mr. Zhang Ge mean?"
Zhang Ge said: "Pearl County Master is being favored at this time, if she were to be the eyes and ears of the palace..."
"Well, Zhang Ge is very thoughtful." The queen mother first agreed, then looked at the little emperor, and persuaded: "Emperor, the overall situation is the most important."
The little emperor had no choice but to agree.
The queen mother had to ask Furong to invite Lu Ze, but Furong was rejected, so the queen mother had to change into civilian clothes and take Furong and a few palace servants out of the palace.
At this time, Lu Ze was seeing someone.
A man in his twenties dressed as a scholar named Chu Hongfeng.
This is what Lu Ze specially instructed Butler Chen to find.
Lu Ze looked at Chu Hongfeng up and down. The man stood politely and unrestrainedly, and his eyes showed a bit of bitterness and righteousness. His words were low and rhythmic, giving people a reliable sense of trust.
Exactly what he wanted.
Seeing Lu Ze's satisfaction, Butler Chen said, "My lord, this person is a scholar from Qianjiang Village. He has not participated in the scientific examination because he has no letter of recommendation. His father is the distant roommate of Mr. Lao."
"Roskay?"
"Exactly."
"Lao Shikai has received the favor of the prince, and he is also a member of Zhang Ge's old family."
Lu Ze nodded. Butler Chen just knew how to do things.
Luo Shikai is just a little official from the sixth rank, very small. He is obviously an angry youth. He threw himself into the old gate of Zhangge by insulting his original body, but secretly, his original body was placed under the old gate of Zhangge. .
Just used it now.
Lu Ze chatted with Chu Hongfeng again, and found that this man looked upright, as cunning as a snake in his bones, and a very smart person. After explaining a few words, he said: "Your imperial examination recommendation letter, Luo Shikai will give you. Get ready, the questions and answers for the scientific exam will be delivered to you before the exam date in January."
"Students understand." Chu Hongfeng said, "Students will definitely do their part."
"Go down."
"Yes, the students say goodbye."
Lu Ze sent Chu Hongfeng away. It was already late at night when he came out of the restaurant. He didn't go to the night scene, so he was interested, so he sent the person on the bright side to go shopping alone.
Lu Ze was walking along the river, and there were many boys and girls by the river who were making wishes with boat lights.
"Aze."
Suddenly, a soft call came from behind Lu Ze.
