After coming out of the study, Lu Key stopped Lu Lu, "Brother."
She knew that it was her who had been beaten by her father.
Maybe her father knew all about her plan, but he didn't say it.
She respectfully saluted Lu Lu, "Brother, I made a mistake in the past. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Hearing this, I'm sorry, Lu Lu felt as if he had passed away.
He smiled slightly, "I am more wrong than you, and we are all wrong."
Even if Lu Yue did something wrong, as a brother, he should not regard her as an enemy.
They are a family, and they are responsible for the prosperity of the Lu family.
He touched Lu Key's head, "Father is right, we are brothers and sisters, a family, a family forever."
Lu Key's heart warmed, "Brother, no matter the past or the future, you will always be my brother."
"good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Lu Key took his arm, "Let's go see Ajiang, Ajin. Ajin said that Ajiang is very talented in martial arts and learns quickly."
"Okay." Lu Lu nodded, "A Jiang and I will protect you in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Key's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother, I will also protect you, this is a promise."
Lu Lu was stunned, and always felt that Lu Yue said this very carefully.
However, in the blink of an eye, she looked so innocent, and felt that she was thinking too much.
In the martial arts field, A Jin is showing his moves in slow motion. A Jiang is a person with a single tendon. He is a person who learns things with a single tendon. This kind of person is the most suitable for practicing martial arts, because they have nothing else to do and only focus on one thing.
Lu Lu's eyes drifted to the center of the martial arts field, where A Jiang sat, watching A Jin dancing the sword carefully, without even blinking.
After Ajin dances, he will ask, "Remember?"
A Jiang replied, "I remember."
Remember, he was a genius.
If he hadn't been born into a poor family, he would have been famous as a teenager by now, right
Lu Lu walked to Ajiang's side, "Don't be too tired if you haven't recovered yet."
A Jiang nodded obediently, "Okay."
On the third day, Yu Xuemei got married, and the dowry was very shabby, not even a royal banquet.
After sending Yu Xuemei out of the house, Yu Shilang finally let go of the heart that he was holding. Now, this scourge has finally been let go.
However, after all the calculations, before Yu Xuemei's heroine's halo was widened, the maid was like losing her mind and even married instead.
Soon, the bride was found to have escaped, and the whole wedding was in chaos.
The little emperor was going crazy. He knew that Mei Er was different, and what he loved was her difference.
She is also willing to condone her arrogance within the tolerance range.
But that doesn't mean others will too.
Meier escaped from marriage, this is a good opportunity for the regent to attack him.
The Prince Regent will definitely attack with this, forcing him to order the Yu Family to be severely punished, and even let the Dark Guard hunt down Mei Er.
The little emperor knelt on the ground and begged the queen mother, "Mother, you have to help my son!"
The queen mother didn't like Yu Xuemei at all, but now Yu Xuemei dared to escape from the marriage, and she was even more displeased. Although she thought she would let Lu Ze go when she said, she still said: "The prince regent is not what it used to be, the emperor and the queen mother have nothing to do."
"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to save Mei'er's family!" The little emperor was unhappy and sad, "You didn't like Meier in the first place, and you made every excuse to humiliate Meier, and now even Meier's family is not spared. ."
The little emperor stood up and said with tears: "Mother, in your heart, the country is the first, and you are the second. Both the son and the regent are just tools for you to control power. Mei Er and her family, It will be saved."
"Your Majesty, how could you say something like this to hurt your concubine's heart!" Furong couldn't stand it any longer, "She is your biological mother and the person who loves you the most in the world!"
"Haha." The little emperor turned his head and left, ignoring the queen mother and immediately summoned Zhang Ge Lao and a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures overnight.
The next day, the little emperor and a group of ministers were fully armed and fearful, ready to meet the attack of the regent.
Sitting next to the throne, Lu Ze, who looked confident with his eyes closed, was dozing off.
Lu Ze actually hates going to court. He is a lazy person who can't stand to get up so early.
The memorial that really needed him to make up his mind was given to him before it was handed over to the emperor, and the court was just pretending.
Lu Ze moved, very sleepy, why hasn't the meeting finished yet
The little emperor immediately sat up straight, come, he is ready to attack!
Lu Ze put his head on his other hand and continued to sleep.
Little Emperor: "..."
After a long time, the meeting dispersed.
After preparing for a night, the little emperor who is now a dark blue: "..."
Lu Ze, who only knew the whole thing afterwards: "..."
Is he sick
Not to mention the laws and regulations of the country, what good would it do for him to kill the Yu family
Also sent someone to hunt down Yu Xuemei
Well, there is a chase in the original book.
but!
What good would killing Yu Xuemei do to him
The Yu family was a fourth-rank servant, who didn't even get along with the left servant, and didn't have the ability to choose sides in the power struggle. What good would it be for him to be killed
It also wastes human and material resources.
What's the use of killing Yu Xuemei other than making the little emperor shed two tears of sadness and increasing the hatred between them that is already full
Lu Ze said that he is a normal person who cannot understand the thinking of the protagonist.
In fact, in addition to the little emperor, Yu Xuemei also thought so.
Yu Xuemei hid as soon as she escaped. She expected that she had offended the emperor and the regent, and there must be a lot of people chasing her.
But when her poison dissipated, she came out and found that no one was looking for her at all.
The Yu family escaped the catastrophe, and Yu Shilang, who scared half of his life, immediately announced that the world had cut off relations with her.
Probably because the plot developed to the point where Yu Xuemei came into contact with the No. 2 male supporting character, the little emperor felt that he was in trouble with the Prince Regent.
As for Lu Ze, he expressed no interest.
So Yu Xuemei stood upright and swayed on the street, and then felt very uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable.
There is a kind of suffocation and pain that is ignored by the whole world.
She felt that she was unique in the world and should be the focus of everything, the core of the battle between the regent and the little emperor, and the center of the world, but suddenly, she realized that she was nothing.
No one cared about her at all.
This sense of loss made her want to rush back to the capital immediately to grab Lu Ze and the emperor, shaking them and asking, "Why!"
At the same time, the queen mother was heartbroken and ill because of the rebellion of the little emperor. Furong hinted to Lu Ze through the people in the palace many times, but Lu Ze did not respond, and the queen mother became more ill.
Soon, when Lu Ze and the little emperor were in a stalemate, the new imperial examination began.
The students came in one after another.
Lu employs the privilege to send Ajiang to take the exam.
Lu Lu sorted out the four treasures of the study for Ajiang, "Don't be nervous after you go, you have only studied for a few months, and others have studied hard for ten years, and it is normal to fail."
A Jiang said: "I know, I just want to feel it."
This was A Jiang's longest speech. Lu Lu was moved to tears and bid A Jiang farewell in the cold wind.
Lu Key chuckled, "Brother, I have a feeling that you are A Jiang's old mother."
"Go aside."
"Hahaha." Lu Key smiled and rolled over and took Ah Jin to play.
In the outskirts, Lu Key was tired of riding his horse. He pulled his horse and chatted with A Jin, "A Jin, how long have you been with your father?"
"Twelve years."
"Twelve years." Lu Key murmured, "That's really been a long time. Ah Jin, what's my father's attitude towards me?"
"Your Majesty's thoughts, no one knows."
Lu Key smiled and said: "I know, my father wants me and my brother to be able to be independent."
A Jin: "I also hope that the county master can be on his own."
Ok
Lu Key turned his head and looked at A Jin in confusion.
Ah Jin's cold face seems to be normal.
At this time, there was a cry not far away.
Lu Key quietly took a closer look, the Princess Chang'an wiped away tears and questioned the handsome man in front of him, "Why did you break off the marriage?"
The man looked embarrassed, and his attitude looked very respectful, but his eyes revealed contempt and disgust, "The county master's country is beautiful, and Xiaosheng is not worthy of it."
"What's not worthy, it's not an excuse!" Chang'an County Master said sharply: "Didn't you just break off the marriage because you heard that my innocence was gone at the last banquet and my reputation was ruined?"
"The county lord, the chastity of the woman is the first, and innocence is better than life. Forgive Xiaosheng to say bluntly, if the county lord can show his will by death, he may achieve the reputation of Prince Yong's residence."
"you you you… "
Chang'an County Master never expected that the words she used to insult Lu Key at the beginning would be fulfilled on herself.
Since her reputation was ruined last time, her grandfather and father have started to propose marriage for her, but most of the children in the capital have heard of it, and even if it is not for the sake of innocence, they dare not agree to it for the sake of the regent. They finally found a foreign official. The family got married, and as a result, when they entered the capital and heard the rumors, they broke off the marriage.
The princess of Chang'an was shaky, she grabbed a big tree and cried miserably.
Snapped!
A whip.
A Jin gave the man a whip directly and scolded: "Where is the scholar who dares to disrespect the county master?"
Lu Key looked at A Jin in surprise. A Jin was still cold and expressionless, but she always felt that she was particularly concerned about this kind of thing.
Otherwise, there is no need for her to help Chang'an.
When the man saw Ajin's maid dressed up, he was about to fight back when Lu Key said, "This county master is here, how dare you be presumptuous?"
The princess of Chang'an turned her head and wiped away her tears. She didn't want Lu Key to see her embarrassed side.
The man looked at Lu Key, whoever entered the capital was not instructed to offend anyone in the capital, but never offend the regent's palace.
Lu Key is naturally one of them.
The man recognized Lu Key at a glance, and immediately saluted, "Xiaosheng pays respects to Mingzhu County Master."
He had been whipped on the shoulder, and he had seen blood, but he did not dare to have any disrespect.
Lu Key stepped forward, pinched his chin, and raised his face, "It's quite handsome. If this county master likes you, would you still dare to break off the marriage?"
The man was terrified, but felt that the hand holding his chin was cold and shivering, and it was terrifyingly tight, and immediately replied: "Xiaosheng dare not, it is a blessing for Xiaosheng's family to be favored by the county master."
"Ha!" Lu Key let him go, looked at the Chang'an County Master but said to the man, "It's a pity you're so ugly."
Lu Key blew a whistle, and the white horse came galloping. She flexibly turned on her horse, her eyes fixed on Chang An, "Did you see it? He dared to revoke your marriage, but he dared not revoke mine. This is power."
After that, Lu Key and A Jin galloped away one after the other.
On the way, Lu Key asked, "Ajin, why are you helping Chang'an?"
Ah Jin said: "The slave and maid sincerely hope that the county master can be alone."
The three-day imperial examination ended soon, and the Ministry of Rites reviewed the candidates' examination papers.
After three days of silence in the quiet examination paper review office, there was a burst of noise, but it quickly returned to peace.
Mr. Zhang Ge quietly hid the test paper that should have been destroyed.
Soon, the top three were listed and handed over to the little emperor to judge.
The little emperor was tired of reading it, and the three-point test papers were quite literary, just talking about state affairs, hehe, it was flashy.
At this time, Zhang Ge took out another test paper from his sleeve and handed it to the little emperor, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"
The little emperor opened it, and cheered, "Okay!"
This is what he wants!
The little emperor said excitedly: "This is the pillar of the country, I want to take a good look at this person's last name... Chu Hongfeng... good name!"
Zhang Ge said: "The method proposed by this person does have a big pattern. It's just the emperor, the regent's side..."
The little emperor hesitated for a while, "First recruit this person for an audience."
"Do I need to ask the Queen Mother first?"
"The queen mother has been sick for so long and it's not good, no need." The little emperor was very annoyed by Zhang Ge's old mention of the queen mother. In his opinion, the queen mother and Lu Ze are the same, they just want him to be a puppet emperor, own power.
Soon, Chu Hongfeng secretly entered the palace.
But what the little emperor and Zhang Ge don't know is that, not to mention Chu Hongfeng, just say that Zhang Ge gave the test paper to the little emperor, and the eunuch beside the little emperor handed over the news.
Hearing the news, Lu Ze smiled and said to himself, "Although this ancient world is not worried about food and clothing, there are still a lot of entertainment items in the end, and I miss movies."
Zhang Ge and the little emperor asked Chu Hongfeng to explain the strategy he said in the test paper.
Chu Hongfeng said a few words, nothing more than to open up the road to the imperial examination, cancel the sponsorship letter, recruit more talents, open local free schools, and open the military examination. In a word, let more people at the bottom have the opportunity to become officials.
Chu Hongfeng said: "Most of the regent's minions now occupy a seat in the army and the court. These people are numerous but bloated. If more people at the bottom can be recruited for the emperor's use, they will surely be able to gather the power of the people of the world. Eliminate the regent in one fell swoop."
"Well said, it makes sense!" The little emperor felt even more reasonable when he heard that he wanted to destroy the regent. Moreover, recruiting people from the bottom could break the stalemate in which the regent used the sponsorship system to force others to join him. The little emperor took Chu Hongfeng to his knees. talk.
Zhang Ge also agreed with the idea of absorbing talents, and the three talked for a night.
Chu Hongfeng was hand-picked as the champion of the new division in the palace examination.
The little emperor carefully observed Lu Ze and was relieved to make sure that he didn't notice anything.
Soon, Lu Ze began to call himself sick.
This is a great opportunity!
While Lu Ze was away, the little emperor quickly ordered Chu Hongfeng to play the memorial that he had prepared long ago in the court hall.
The little emperor was sitting on the high dragon chair, looking down at the courtiers standing below. Without Lu Ze by his side, even the air was extraordinarily fresh.
But what the little emperor could not have expected was that as soon as the memorial came out, the party on the regent's side didn't respond. Instead, his people danced better than each other.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Untouchables are untouchables, and starting school will increase their rebelliousness."
"Your Majesty, the ancestral teachings must not be violated!"
"Your Majesty, I am ruling the country with civility, increasing the military examinations, and abolishing the letter of sponsorship is disrespectful to the Holy Ancestor!"
…
And so on, louder than louder.
Not only the little emperor was deceived, but even old Zhang Ge, who had always been a respectable person, was deceived.
The little emperor was very angry. He finally put forward a proposition, but everyone did not support him. What kind of ancestral training, can't the ancestral training be changed
The little emperor lost his temper in a fit of anger. After returning to the palace, Chu Hongfeng preached that this policy would make the little emperor become the first emperor through the ages.
The Empress Dowager was sick again, Lu Ze ordered that no one dared to spread the news to the Empress Dowager's palace, the little emperor Niu got angry, and just wanted to take advantage of Lu Ze's illness to implement the policy and let everything fall to the ground. At that time, he would be too late to object and ignore it. Everyone's dissuasion, strong announcement of the policy.
Lu Ze was at home watching flowers and painting peacefully, and Lu Key and Lu Lu tried their best not to stay home to accompany him.
Butler Chen brought someone back to report the details in the palace.
Lu Ze made the last stroke, and the painting of Wanli Jiangshan was finished.
"It's ridiculous that even Zhang Ge Lao didn't see the problem." Lu Key couldn't help shaking his head, and he began to wonder how he fell in love with the little emperor in the first place
Lu Lu said: "Zhang Pavilion is always clear, so naturally he can't figure out the joints."
Lu Key nodded, and now she is about to take over most of the state and county that Lu Ze has allocated to him, and is no longer the one who used to talk about military affairs.
Lu Key said; "Zhang Pavilion is always clear, but unfortunately the people under him are not."
"Abolishing the sponsorship system, the emperor only thought of shaking his father's power, but he didn't think that this would also shake the foundation of the family. Every year for the imperial examination, the reference staff must choose a family to rely on obtaining a letter of sponsorship to participate in the examination. It’s because of the aristocratic family. This is the foundation for the aristocratic clan to keep their family prosperous and expand their power. If they are so shaken, how could they agree?”
"Policy is a good policy." Lu Ze smiled slightly and hung the map of the country.
Lu Lu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the timing is wrong. The emperor's foundation is not stable and he is doomed to fail."
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Lu finished speaking, many officials who had never visited the Prince Regent before sent salutations one after another.
There have always been individuals who betrayed the class, no class betrayed their interests.
The little emperor is aloof, thinking that those who follow him are born to be loyal to him, but he does not know why others are loyal to him.
Lu Ze directly asked Lu Key and Lu Lu to deal with it, and continued to read miscellaneous books on the stove in the house.
He asked people to find a few new novels, and they were reading them with great enthusiasm.
Everything happened silently, imperceptibly, little by little, adding up to the drop of water.
By the time the little emperor reacted, more than half of the courtroom was already on Lu Ze's side.
And the remaining half of them are either loyal but incompetent, or useless neutrals.
The little emperor didn't understand, and didn't know what happened. He found the queen mother in panic, and she was too scared to turn over the medicine bowl.
The queen mother asked, "What's wrong?"
The little emperor cried, "The mother saves me, the mother saves my life."
When the little emperor explained everything in detail, the queen mother could not understand what happened, only that it was broken.
The quiet before the storm, too quiet.
The Empress Dowager grabbed the quilt covering her, and a flash of light flashed in her mind, "Quick, go find Prince Yong."
"Prince Yong?"
The empress dowager's forehead was sweaty, and her eyes were helpless but firm, "I made an agreement with Prince Yong in the early years. If it is absolutely necessary, there is still one last move."
"What?" asked the little emperor.
"Prince Yong's most trusted relative is in Leizhou, which is the closest to the capital. He has always been trusted by the regent. There are 10,000 troops there.
"Yes, Erchen will send someone to look for it..."
"No! Where are you no longer trustworthy!" The Queen Mother thought of something and said, "You go to call the ministers, hold the post-election banquet, and say that the Aijia will accompany the emperor to choose the queen himself. At that time, you go to hold Lu Lu. Key, Aijia personally handed the token to Prince Yong's mansion."
"Yes, Erchen will do it now."
The post-election banquet started in a hurry.
Lu Key was the last to arrive, not because she wanted to put on airs, but according to the laws of this dynasty, she was already an unclean person, and it was impossible for her to be selected.
After Lu Key arrived, he sat in a quiet corner without talking, and looked at the daughters of each family. Except for a few dressed up, most of them were dressed in ordinary clothes.
The queen mother talks to people from time to time.
Songs and dances add to the fun, and the surface is full of prosperous scenes.
Lu Key was watching happily, when suddenly, the little emperor handed her over.
Lu Key is a woman, and she will hardly enter the palace without an edict.
After all, I haven't seen it for half a year.
Seeing this all of a sudden, the little emperor couldn't help but be startled.
Lu Key seems to have grown taller, his complexion is not as fair as before, rather yellowish, but he has a strong and capable temperament.
Standing there, tall and straight like a pines and cypresses, he was clearly smiling, but the corners of his lips had no warmth, and his eyes were calm and restrained.
Aloof and proud without feeling offensive or arrogant.
Quiet as water and cold as ice.
This kind of temperament is very familiar to him. He has seen it in a person before, but he can't remember it for a while.
The little emperor thought hard at this moment, but from the perspective of others, it was as if he was fascinated by Lu Key.
Suddenly, the water sleeve danced in front of the little emperor. The little emperor came back to his senses and was about to say something when the dancer in the middle jumped over and circled around the little emperor.
Lu Key's eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth turned slightly. After Yu Xuemei escaped from marriage, she actually came back
Obviously, the little emperor also recognized her, in a trance, his eyes moved obsessively with Yu Xuemei's dancing posture.
After all, it's a pair of little lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Lu Key was not interested in disturbing the two and left quietly. She now has something she loves more, and the little emperor is no longer important.
After Yu Xuemei left, she wandered around and returned to the capital. As soon as she came back, she heard that the little emperor was about to choose, and in a fit of rage, she dressed as a dancer and mixed in.
I didn't expect to see the little emperor and Lu Key flirting with each other again, so I couldn't bear it anymore.
She immediately threw Shui Xiu away, and sure enough, the little emperor was hooked back again. She looked at Lu Key proudly, and her eyes were clearly saying, "I see, the only person who loves the most in the emperor's heart is always me, and you will always be losers."
Lu Key: "..."
Is a woman's success a man's love
Yu Xuemei hooked up with the little emperor, and the queen mother couldn't bear it anymore. After handing the token to Princess Yong, she immediately called the little emperor back, and asked her to take Yu Xuemei down with a stern face.
The banquet was meant to be bright, and when things were done, it was over soon.
The author has something to say: Regarding the halo of lowering wisdom, let’s talk about the logic of the idea:
Let's talk about Yuan first, the original male and female protagonists, that is, the emperor and Yu Xuemei's love brains, there is no doubt that the people who seem to be useful around them basically serve the feelings of the male and female protagonists, such as the patriarch, such as the queen mother.
Therefore, when the male protagonist was discussing the candidates for the prefecture and county and the assignment of the task of consolidating the prefecture and county, on the emperor's side, the patriarch, who was a veteran, surpassed the existence of the six divisions. The suggestion he made to the emperor was to let the empress dowager use the old feelings to contain Lu Ze and let the emperor Contain Lu Yue with love.
If it develops according to the logic of the original text, the following story should be, Lu Ze retreated again and again because of the queen mother, Lu Yue and the emperor kissed me and me, Yu Xuemei misunderstood, resulting in a love triangle, and then a bunch of love triangles, you chase me rush story.
It was originally the love line as the main body, and naturally the main characters take love as the starting point of thinking.
Secondly, the pavilion is always clear, the so-called clear flow, loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, not corrupt, not bribery, and not occupying the interests of the clan, naturally unexpected.
The emperor is still young and has never actually held power. He is an emperor, and the original regent was put on the throne. He is not a legitimate heir, nor is he the most likely person to ascend the throne. Naturally, no one taught him. The queen mother never thought he would. When he was an emperor, the previous emperor did not regard him as his heir, and he did not receive the education of the emperor's art since he was a child. Even if he became an emperor only a few years ago, he was controlled by the regent of the court. Naturally, he lacked experience and ability, and he had a brain for love. In his opinion, those who are loyal to him should be loyal to him, and the regent is a traitor.
Then there is why the ministers loyal to the emperor objected, but no one reminded him.
The reason is simple, there is no class betraying interests.
Natural clans and families all need to safeguard their own interests, but this cannot be stated explicitly.
You can't rush to the emperor and say, "Your Majesty, this policy will prevent our family from turning those who take part in the imperial examination into our own and hurt our interests. So even if the little emperor gives up this policy for a while, in the future If they couldn't kill other clansmen, they would definitely want to kill him, so they could only persuade the little emperor with high-sounding reasons. If you don't tell me, the patriarch, the emperor, and the queen mother can't figure it out.
The policy is a good policy. If the little emperor does not do it, Lu Ze will do it in the future.
In fact, there is an inherent logic behind the design of a very simple plot. Of course, this is just the logic when I designed the story alone, and there may be many omissions in it. After all, we have limited learning. Having said so much, I just don't want everyone to simply attribute Lu Ze's victory to the halo of wisdom.
Because if I can't figure out this logic, my male protagonist will not use such a trick, (^_^)v
