Biography of Emperor Mo

Chaoyang Hall.

Lu Guang sat in the middle hall, and the three princes, Lu Yingzhuan, Lu Yingzhen, and Lu Yingmo stood in front of the case.In the back hall, there are courtiers, civil and military officials all standing here.

Lu Guang's voice was majestic, "Zhen'er, why did you call so many people here?"

Lu Yingzhen saluted and said, "I have something important to announce."

"Speak." Lu Guang made a "please" gesture.

As soon as Lu Yingzhen put down his hand after saluting, he raised his hand and pointed at Lu Yingmo, saying viciously: "My minister said, King Fa Ye, Lu Yingmo bribed the local officials, squeezed out and persecuted my minister!"

This remark shocked the audience, and everyone looked at Lu Yingmo at the same time.

Lu Yingmo's pupils suddenly widened, and his face suddenly turned pale.Lu Yingmo closed his eyes and tried his best to keep calm.He turned to look at him, "What do you think, Brother Huang?"

Lu Guang also pointed at him and said, "That's right, empty words are nothing, what evidence do you have?"

"Father."

Lu Ying really saluted Lu Guang.

"Two memorials to join me appeared in Qingzhou at the same time. I think there is something strange about it. After all, as the saying goes, 'shoot the first bird', even if the minister really did everything in Qingzhou , it is extremely difficult for the first person to come to participate in Erchen."

"Everyone is afraid that this unexpected disaster will fly on top of their heads and bring down innocent disasters. Therefore, I sent someone to investigate and found that this Yi's excerpt was handed up after Jing Fu. A person who consults me. Duan Yi didn't dare to write a letter before Jing Fu said anything."

Lu Guang pointed at him again and asked, "So what?"

Lu Yingzhen went on to say: "I think it's very strange that Jing Fu is the majestic governor of Qingzhou. Is it necessary to be the first to come out and read Erchen's copy? Could it be that he is really such a person with a sense of justice?— — Out of curiosity, I asked the local government about his style. As a result, everyone said that everyone knew that one of the reasons for the White Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou was the corruption of officials, and Jing Fu, It is one of the most famous corrupt officials in Qingzhou. I just thought, would a corrupt official have such a sense of justice? Could it be that he has received some benefits, so he came to participate?"

Lu Yingzhen took out a piece of paper from his belt and looked at Lu Guang.

"This is what Bian Shao, the governor of Qi County, found out. The content is guaranteed to be true. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. Bian Shao found out that Jing Fu suddenly had 30 acres of land half a month ago, with a total value of [-]. Ten thousand taels!"

Suddenly, Lu Yingzhen raised the right hand holding the paper to Lu Yingmo's side, and slapped him like a jackal.

"King Ye! You did this! It was you who bribed Jing Fu with 30 taels of silver to share with me, exclude me, and persecute me! You are in charge of business, so don't you know many rich people? Crown Prince It is no longer Du Zhishangshu, and the people in charge of the money belong to the emperor, and they can’t commit crimes. Besides you, who else? Buying local officials, rejecting and persecuting the prince, how bold you are!”

After hearing these words, Lu Guang believed that the words were reasonable, and he believed them [-]% in his heart.Lu Guang asked Lu Yingmo: "Mo'er, what do you say?"

Lu Yingmo knelt down on both feet, kowtowed, and said, "I have nothing to say. I'm just in charge of doing business. I really don't know about these things."

"Okay." Lu Guang nodded sadly.

At this time, Lu Yingzhuan suddenly took a step forward, made a bow and said, "Father, my son has something to say."

"speak."

Lu Yingzhuan cast a cold glance at Lu Yingmo who was on the ground, and said slowly, "Exchanging favors between state officials, corruption and bribery are really common in the officialdom. Do you remember? A few years ago, the corruption case of Da Sikong and Hu Jieji , 180 acres of open land, [-] million taels of silver, involving eight states, confiscated property, and the whole family copied and abandoned the city. Compared with what happened this time, it pales in comparison. If you go online casually, the world Few people are clean."

Lu Yingzhuan turned around and looked at Lu Yingzhen, with a flash of inspiration, he said: "On the contrary, if King Xiang said a word casually, there would be Lord Bian Shao, the governor of Qi County, who checked it out for King Xiang so carefully. This is not a faction. Or is it a local bureaucracy, or a county!"

Lu Yingzhen pointed at Lu Ying Zhuan with his fingers, and stammered: "You!"

"Is there any unreasonable words, my son, please enlighten my father." Lu Ying really bowed and returned to his original position.

"Zhuan'er didn't force his words to make sense." Lu Guang suddenly mentioned a matter that had been buried for a long time. No one thought that he would suddenly mention this matter.He looked at Lu Yingzhen, and said seriously: "A person who is willing to kill his own brother, the credibility of what he said is really questionable."

Lu Ying was really startled, and suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Guang, "What?"

An extremely serious look appeared on Lu Guang's face. "Back then, when King Ye was on a business trip to Chang'an to deal with the grain price issue, your King Xiang once sent Yin Ze to lead the Tiance Army to assassinate him, but the assassination failed. Almost killed them all, do you think I don’t know?”

"My son... my son's crime is unforgivable..." Lu Ying was so guilty that his heart was about to jump out!He was so chilled that he said that the king was ruthless. He never expected that Lu Guang would choose this time to single out such a long-standing crime!It turned out that his father had been suspicious of him since so long ago!Still so good at forbearance, endure until today, use it as the last stone to hit him when he is down, and sink him to the bottom!

Lu Yingzhen knelt down and kowtowed a few times, all the officials looked at him and couldn't help shaking their heads.How could this King Xiang do such a vicious thing?King Ye is the younger brother of his siblings!How could he be so inhuman?It's like a beast!

"The prince breaks the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime. The murderer dies. Assassinating the prince, what is the crime?" Lu Guangyang slapped the case with his hand, and said sharply: "I told Mo Er to endure it at the time, but in fact, I felt even more uncomfortable! My own son was killed. You can’t even say a word for someone to assassinate someone! Really, it’s because I tolerated you! I didn’t want to announce to the world the crime you committed! I can only bear the grievance!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yingmo shed a few tears, which made all the officials feel sympathetic.

Lu Guang said: "I said that I will give Mo'er an explanation. Today, I will punish you for this sin of heaven and all the crimes you committed in Qingzhou."

"My son is punished." Lu Yingzhen said in a deep voice.

Lu Guang looked at him seriously, and said mercilessly: "Lu Yingzhen, the king of Xiang, disobeyed the emperor's father, murdered the emperor's heir, looted the official warehouse, attacked the imperial army, slaughtered the people, raped and plundered. If you don't follow my teachings, you will be vicious and violent, and it is difficult to speak out. You will do all kinds of evil, you can't tell right from wrong, and you will lose your heart. Wisdom is enough to reject advice, and words are enough to cover up wrongs. So that future generations will be called innocent Take it as the first. Don’t quit? Let’s get rid of the title of "Shenwu Deyi", move to Linchuan, and meditate on our own mistakes. Half of Tiance’s army has been cut off, and half of them are farming in Linchuan. .This is it!"

"Retreat!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Prince Ye's Mansion.

Lu Yingmo walked back with vain footsteps, and as soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he immediately fell forward feebly.

"Wow!" Yao Xuanxia immediately rushed up to support him, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Lu Yingmo put all his weight on Yao Xuanxia's body, leaned on his arm, and said weakly, "...Help me to sit down."

Yao Xuanxia supported Lu Yingmo to sit down on the bench, and Lu Yingmo immediately fell to the left and lay horizontally, only leaning his head on the handle of the chair.

He closed his eyes and said: "...I was scared to death today. I worked really hard and I was under a lot of pressure."

"What's wrong?" Yao Xuanxia asked.

Lu Yingmo opened his eyes, "King Xiang took a lot of evidence to accuse me of bribing Jing Fu in front of my father. I can't argue with it. Fortunately, my father and the crown prince defended me. If they hadn't helped me, today's battle would have been difficult for me." It’s about to be overwhelmed.”

Yao Xuanxia looked comforting, "Don't worry, this battle is over, the king's power has become a fact, and the situation will not change. Now, His Highness can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Lu Yingmo sat up and looked at him with a fake smile on his face.With a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Yes! It is true that King Xiang has lost his heart, and the emperor has decreed to abolish him today!"

"--enough!"

Yao Xuanxia suddenly yelled.

"?" Lu Yingmo raised his head in astonishment, he didn't know why Yao Xuanxia suddenly yelled this sentence.

Yao Xuanxia also looked at him blankly. He yelled just now because he had had enough, and he really wanted to say "enough" to Lu Yingmo.

There is one sentence that he has never dared to say.Because, once you say it, you will most likely suffer from Lu Yingmo's suspicion, and you will lose the trust of the third prince forever.The worst result is that he may lose his future North China General.It's not that he doesn't know how scheming, ruthless, and insidious Lu Yingmo is. Once someone reveals the secret in his heart, he probably won't live long.This person who "hids a knife in his smile" is a person born to be an emperor, born to be a king.

Isn't Yang Xiu's death the best example?Just because he spoke Cao Cao's heart, he was killed by Cao Cao.Those who are clever but mistaken for cleverness are not really smart people.He asked himself that if he is not smart, he will be mistaken by cleverness. He knows that a smart person should not speak out when he sees something.

But, today, he had had enough.

He was fed up with Lu Yingmo, who was obviously exhausted and still pretended to be smiling in front of him!Wearing a mask every day is exhausting, even in front of yourself!It's a lot of pressure and hard work, and I still don't take good care of my inner emotions!

He couldn't take it any longer!

Suddenly, Yao Xuanxia's eyes widened suddenly, and she suddenly realized something.

Why did I have enough of Lu Yingmo being tired, pretending, and working hard?

Why can't I bear Lu Yingmo's bad mood?

Why do I still say such things knowing that I am likely to be suspected?

He smiled wryly, revealing a look in his eyes that understood everything.

It turned out that he really... fell in love with Lu Yingmo.

Lu Yingmo didn't know what he was thinking, but still looked at him strangely, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sick of you doing this to yourself again."

Yao Xuanxia smiled wryly, as if accepting her fate.

"You always wear a smiling mask to treat people, and you live very tiredly under the hypocritical mask but suffer alone. I can't see you like this, so I will always stay by your side. But, you are right I want to wear that mask too. I... I know that mask is a great talent, and I support your continued use of it in politics..."

He looked at Lu Yingmo with understanding eyes.

"However, I hope you can let go of it in front of me and be your real self."

……

Lu Yingmo was silent.

How does it feel to be seen by someone looking into your heart like a mirror?

It's not that he didn't think that Yao Xuanxia could see his mind clearly, after all, this person has always been quite consistent with his mind.However, for more than 20 years, no one has ever understood him so far.

Even his biological mother completely turned against him because he couldn't see through his mind. The friends around him were mostly joking, eating, drinking and having fun, and rarely communicated with each other about their spiritual problems.For the first time in his life, he met a person who knew him so well, a person who was so smart but did not become his enemy. ...and made him fall into contemplation.

Normally, he should be suspicious of this person, because this person really knows too much.However, he couldn't afford to be suspicious of this person, because this person was his most trusted friend, his most important ally, and also someone he... well, he might like.He actually had a feeling of joy, like an empty heart that finally found a harbor and a destination.

Normally speaking, in order to prevent him from becoming wary, Yao Xuanxia saw it when he saw it, and would not say it.However, Yao Xuanxia said it out.He felt very happy, very happy that Yao Xuanxia saw it and was willing to say it.Even, he is willing to be his warm haven.

"Thank you." Lu Yingmo smiled happily, sincerely. "I know. I won't wear a mask in front of you in the future, I will be my true self."

Yao Xuanxia looked at his sincere smile in shock, but unexpectedly, he was not angry, guessing, or doubting, but believed in herself and agreed to herself.

"It's a deal!" Yao Xuanxia also smiled happily, showing a smile from the bottom of her heart.
