Chapter 12 Parents
After retreating, the ministers walked out of the palace in twos and threes, with mixed expressions of joy and worry.
The ones who are happy are naturally loyal and loyal ministers, all of them are so elated that they almost weep with joy.His Majesty has returned to normal, and their Changli Kingdom need not be finished!
The worry is some corrupt officials.If His Majesty clears up Chao Gang, how will they make money in the future?Can the black hat on the head be kept?Can you keep your head?They wished that Xie Chongjin would remain incapacitated forever.
When the first emperor was in power, he didn't talk about deposing You Zhiming, and he never got close to traitors. There were not many people who were dead and vegetarian in the court.However, after Xie Chongjin came to the throne, he took in too many harems. Some concubines would ask for an official position for their father, brothers, and uncles because of their favor. The players didn't think it was a big deal. Examine the abilities of those people.
If there are too many such small things, there will be more silverfish in his position.The real pillars sit on the bench in the harem, and the incompetent rotten wood dominates the previous dynasty, slowly eating away this huge dynasty.
Now Xie Chongjin claims that all the absurdity in the past was caused by a gu, and that in the future, if he wants to revive the court, these people who are fishing in troubled waters are naturally panicked, fearing that his majesty will settle accounts in the fall.
Of course Xie Chongjin has to settle the score, the list is being sorted out, and these moths are bound to be eliminated one by one.Before the knife falls, these people may not be able to sleep peacefully.
Some people are happy and some are worried, but Prime Minister Lu is undoubtedly the happiest one.
As soon as the court was over, an endless stream of ministers gathered around and said congratulations to the prime minister.The queen is Prime Minister Lu's son, so the restoration of the queen is not a great event for the prime minister's mansion?
Prime Minister Lu's face was calm and calm, but he was also happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
After all, he is his only son, who has been petted since he was a child, so how could he not care.
Lu Xuechao was sent to accompany the prince as a companion since he was a child. Of course, it was because Prime Minister Lu hoped that he could become the prince's concubine.But it's not like other families who only regard their offspring as marriage pawns to climb the dragon and the phoenix—the Lu family has a century-old family, and Lu Xuechao is already a dragon and a phoenix among people, so why add icing on the cake?It's just that the Lu family had several empresses, Prime Minister Lu and the late Emperor also had a close friendship besides the friendship between monarch and minister, so he thought that it would be a beautiful thing for Lu Xuechao and the prince to marry by marriage.
If it can't be done, don't force it, of course, the happiness of your own son is the most important thing.Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince loved Lu Xuechao very much, Prime Minister Lu was also very pleased.
When Lu Xuechao first entered the cold palace, the Prime Minister's wife almost fainted from crying, and Prime Minister Lu ran around, haggard for several years.If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't have sent Xue Chao to study with the prince.
In the past three years, he handed over a lot of papers, wanting to see how his son is doing.I heard that the conditions in Lenggong are extremely bad, Xue Chao has never suffered since childhood, and his body is weak, how can he survive?He also wanted to get some servants in the palace, and send Xue Chao some food and warm bedding, but unfortunately the palace is airtight, not to mention packing, he doesn't even know if Lu Xuechao is doing well.
Probably not.It must be bad.Where is the cold palace?
Poor parents in the world.Prime Minister Lu's request for a meeting with Empress Dowager has been submitted hundreds of documents, but His Majesty has not approved it, which is really cold and heartless.
Xie Chongjin wanted to criticize, but he couldn't see Lu Xuechao himself.The game does not have the option to let the minister enter the palace to visit the concubine, so he cannot respond.Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family will be allowed to enter the palace to reunite with the concubine, but the concubine of the cold palace is not qualified.
Prime Minister Lu still wanted to see Lu Xuechao the most right now, he was excited just now, and all the ministers were shocked by His Majesty's bewitching, and they were all criticizing Yelang for being shameless, so he couldn't bring up this personal matter.Now that he was in front of the palace gate, Prime Minister Lu looked back at the direction of the harem, and was still a little bit reluctant to leave.
Forget it, I will mention it another day, and I will see you in the end.
Prime Minister Lu sighed, and was about to leave the palace when he heard a voice behind him: "Your Excellency, please stop."
Prime Minister Lu turned his head and saw that it was Yunluo, His Majesty's close servant, the factory owner of the East Factory, who had the power to supervise the minister.She looks like a good woman, has a vicious temperament, is cruel, and secretly cleans up things that cannot be seen for His Majesty. Many officials are terrified when they see him.
As a first-rank prime minister, Prime Minister Lu naturally doesn't need to be afraid of a factory owner.Also working for the emperor, the Lu family is also upright, only villains with ghosts in their hearts are afraid of Yunluo.
Yun Luo was also very polite to Prime Minister Lu.Yu Gong is the prime minister of a country, and Yu privately is your majesty's father-in-law. The person your majesty respects is also the person he respects.
"Your Majesty knows that you are eager to miss your child, and Her Highness the Queen also misses the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife very much, so I allow you two to come to the harem to meet."
Prime Minister Lu was taken aback: "My wife is still in the mansion, I will send someone back to inform..."
"Your Majesty has ordered someone to bring your wife into the palace, and the carriage has arrived at the gate of the palace." Yun Luo smiled, "I ordered it earlier."
Prime Minister Lu paused: "Your Majesty has a heart."
Sure enough, the carriage sent by the emperor brought the prime minister's wife.But I saw a graceful man in white clothes Shengxue got out of the carriage. He looked extremely young, only the fine lines around his eyes revealed a little trace of age.
The prime minister's wife was a famous beauty in the capital when she was young. She was asked by Prime Minister Lu to marry her.
Missing her son in recent years made the prime minister's wife's eyebrows and eyes tinged with melancholy, and she looked more and more charming. Lu Xuechao's appearance just followed him.
Yun Luo respectfully said: "You two, please follow me."
"Husband." The prime minister's wife said anxiously when she saw Prime Minister Lu, "Someone suddenly came from the palace and asked me to enter the palace...but what news does Qingshu have?"
"Madam, don't worry, it's a good thing." Prime Minister Lu patted his wife's hand reassuringly, "Your Majesty has restored the Xue Dynasty, and is about to let us meet Xue Chao."
Then he listened again, and whispered that His Majesty's three years of absurdity were all caused by a Gu.
The Prime Minister's wife was startled, she touched Yun Luo who was leading the way ahead, and concealed it well.
The edict of restoration was only issued this morning, Lu Xuechao hadn't had time to move to the palace, and now he was going in the direction of Lenggong.
The cold palace is located in the extreme north of the harem, the vegetation becomes sparser as you go north, and the scenery is bleak. Before reaching the destination, the eyes of the prime minister's wife are already red.
If it is true what the Prime Minister said, His Majesty has been infected by Gu and cannot help himself in the past three years. He can't even complain, but he has actually suffered the pain of Qingshu.
Lu Xuechao's body is weak, and she often drank medicine since she was a child, and was raised very carefully by her family.Later, the little prince wanted Lu Xuechao to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, so he took him to do a horse stance under the sun for an hour, and Lu Xuechao passed out.
The little prince was so frightened that he invited all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital, and concluded that Lu Xuechao was born with weak bones and was not suitable for practicing martial arts.Lu Xuechao was in a coma, Xie Chongjin stood by the bed and cried out anxiously. When he woke up, he turned his back, wiped away his tears, and turned back to pretend to be a man: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't learn this martial arts. Protect you, you will never be bullied."
After that, Xie Chongjin was more nervous about him than Lu Xuechao's own father.When Lu Xue walked a few more steps, Xie Chongjin asked if he was tired, and then carried him on his back.The medicine Lu Xuechao drank was a little cold, Xie Chongjin immediately asked someone to change it, and even watched the fire by himself.Lu Xuechao's hands and feet were cold in winter, Xie Chongjin stuffed Tang Po's fur coat for him, and warmed his hands with his fingers.
From childhood to youth, Xie Chongjin really protected Lu Xuechao very well.He is soaked in both medicine pot and honey pot.Except for the bitterness of medicine, Lu Xuechao really never suffered from any bitterness.
Growing up pampered like this, how could he suffer for three years in a broken place like the Lenggong?
The prime minister's wife was about to break her heart when she thought about it.
Prime Minister Lu pursed his lips, feeling uncomfortable.
Until Yunluo stopped and bowed slightly: "Here we are. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are waiting inside, so we won't go in."
Prime Minister Lu and his wife looked at Qionglou Yuyu, which looked like a palace in front of them: "..."
It seems to be even more magnificent than the Zichen Palace where His Majesty lives.
Prime Minister Lu hesitated and said, "Master Yun...didn't he lead the wrong way?"
"No." Yun Luo said, "To be honest, His Majesty has ordered our family to renovate the cold palace and add clothes and things in the past three years. Just for the meals, he invited eight royal chefs who are good at different cuisines to serve His Highness."
"Although His Majesty can't help himself, he has done his best and never treated His Highness badly."
The prime minister's wife nodded in a daze, and walked into the cold palace with Prime Minister Lu, and saw the colorful begonias in the courtyard, the pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions are well arranged, and there are ingenious ideas everywhere, which cannot be created overnight.
The courtyard is already like a fairyland on earth, as if it is a fairyland.
Two gods are chatting indoors.
Xie Chongjin said: "As Qing Shu expected, the uncontrollable matter was pushed to Yelang under the name of Gu, and it really can be exposed."
This is the countermeasure that the two discussed last night.Yelang Kingdom had to guard against it, and Xie Chongjin's reputation had to be washed.Gu art is amazing, using Gu as an excuse can win people's trust, and it can also arouse courtiers' vigilance and hatred towards Yelang, which is a way to kill two birds with one stone.As soon as Lu Xuechao proposed this plan, Xie Chongjin smiled and said: "I have exactly the same intention."
Facts have proved that this step is not wrong.The ministers even found out the reason why he brought General Qin and the others into the harem.
"I've already brought up the matter of restoration. Do you want to move back to Chongxue Palace, or continue to live here?" Xie Chongjin lowered his voice, "Or enter Zichen Palace and sleep with me..."
Lu Xuechao was about to laugh and scold "no rules", when he saw someone coming at the door, he was startled for a moment, and then looked at Xie Chongjin suddenly.
Xie Chongjin smiled and said: "If you want to see your father and father, let them come to see you."
Lu Xuechao didn't mention it, but Xie Chongjin knew that Qingshu must miss his family very much.
The prime minister's wife could no longer control her emotions when she saw Lu Xuechao for the first time, she even forgot to salute the emperor, but fortunately Xie Chongjin didn't care.
"Qingshu!" The prime minister's wife stepped forward and hugged him, wanting to say "you have suffered" and "you have lost weight", but when she looked at the magnificent palace, she thought of eight chefs standing by for her son every day. I couldn't say it out loud, so I thought about it and changed it to, "You've grown taller."
Lu Xuechao also choked up slightly, and said softly, "Father."
Looking at Prime Minister Lu again: "Father."
Prime Minister Lu nodded, seeing his son whom he was thinking of, he was still in good condition and not thin, he finally let go of his hanging heart.
Lu Xuechao suddenly knelt down, bowed her head and said: "My child is not filial, please worry about me."
Except that he couldn't get out of the cold palace, the people who served Lu Xuechao wanted anything and everything from him, presumably Xie Chongjin specially ordered it.Lu Xuechao wanted to hear about his parents, so naturally he could hear them too.Every time he enters the cold palace, his father and father will try their best to run for him, even resign and return home, give up the Lu family's century-old foundation, and only ask the Holy One to return him to freedom.
After he died unexpectedly, he didn't know how sad his parents would be.How many times he died, how many times his father and father sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man.
Seeing this, Xie Chongjin also knelt down.
Prime Minister Lu and his wife's expressions changed, and they immediately knelt down too.Prime Minister Lu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can't do it! You've broken the evil minister."
"This obeisance has nothing to do with monarchs and ministers." Xie Chongjin said solemnly, "When my son-in-law asked to marry Qingshu, he made an oath to the heavens to protect Qingshu for the rest of his life, but now he breaks his promise and is ashamed of his father-in-law, Yuejun, so he deserves my obeisance."
The prime minister's wife shook her head: "Your Majesty was victimized by an adulterer, I dare not blame His Majesty, Your Majesty please hurry up."
Xie Chongjin said stubbornly: "That's because my son-in-law didn't protect me well." No matter how much he couldn't help himself, he did those things in his previous life.
Xie Chongjin couldn't afford it, and Prime Minister Lu and his wife didn't dare to get up.Prime Minister Lu and his wife couldn't afford it, let alone Lu Xuechao, a son.
In the end, Lu Xuechao couldn't see it, and said to Xie Chongjin in a low voice: "Get up first, don't let the husband and wife worship each other here."
