[Comprehensive] Travel to the world of martial arts and raise a boss

The death of the former king and the ascension of the new emperor is a major event. If Lu Chongming does not intend to rebel, he must go back.

Bianliang, the capital, has never been his favorite place, but he has been unable to get rid of it completely, and will always be dragged back involuntarily.

The last time I went back, I was welcomed by civil and military officials in person, but it turned out to be a Hongmen banquet personally directed by the emperor and the prime minister. This time I went back to an even bigger scale, tens of thousands of people lined up to welcome, and Zhao Huanyu, who will soon become the new emperor, personally greeted him. It can be said that it gave Lu Chongming enough face, and with Lu Chongming's illustrious military exploits, he really deserved such a grand welcome.

For the emperor's favor, Lu Chongming really couldn't feel flattered, but it was the man among the officials who was dressed in a neat official robe and smiling brightly at him, which made him slightly startled.

Although he already knew what he did, and knew that he was named a Hanlin scholar, but at this moment, he was still a little surprised to suddenly see that person who was much more mature and stable among the civil and military officials.

Not long ago, he was still a proud and extremely intelligent child, when did he become what he is now? !

Lu Chongming faintly felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, but before he could figure out why, the busy days that followed made him completely forget that flash of thought.

With the emperor's ascension to the throne, all kinds of court officials who came to visit him either to curry favor or to admire their fame, it was only now that Gu Xichao's identity as Gu Lanxi's son was completely exposed, which would only bring more convenience to his official career.

Lu Chongming always thought that Gu Xichao would become a military officer. After all, he was asked to practice martial arts for this purpose in addition to strengthening his body, but he never thought that he would choose Congwen in the end.

He is not an old-fashioned old man who will interfere with his son's life casually. Although he is a little puzzled about his choice, he still respects his decision.

On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, the clouds were bright and the wind was clear, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered. In the majestic imperial city, the ninth emperor of the Song Dynasty officially ascended the throne.

On the day of enthronement, Zhao Huan issued a decree to worship Lu Chongming as a Taiwei, lead the Privy Council, and become the Duke of Qin!

After the imperial decree, Lu Chongming's scenery was the same for a while, and because of his illustrious reputation, he faintly overwhelmed all the civil and military officials in the court.

Lu Chongming just sneered at this kind of overwhelming wealth and honor. The new emperor, like his old man, is a foolish and incompetent person. He doesn't take it seriously. Be more self-aware.

Today, with Lu Chongming's reputation, it can be said that he has won the hearts of the people. The people all over the world are on his side. More importantly, after the Song and Jin battles, he has almost controlled half of the country's soldiers and horses, and they are all elite troops. The name of Lanxi is synonymous with invincibility. Its prestige in the army is so high that Zhao Huan, the emperor who has just ascended the throne, can't even catch up with him.

Once such a person who wants military power, military power, popular support, and prestige rebels, who in the Song Dynasty can stop him? !

As an emperor, who is willing to let a powerful minister be on top of him?No one thought about it, but Zhao Huan had no choice but to let it go, which is the only way at present.

"This new emperor can be considered tolerable, better than his old man." Lu Chongming dismissed Minghuang's imperial edict casually.

Gu Xichao snorted, "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't have that IQ yet, there are experts behind this pointing out!"

He had already pointed it out, but Lu Chongming was not too surprised. He said indifferently: "Master Zhuge is a loyal minister, and it is understandable for him to do so."

"Even if he is already blatantly guarding against you?" Gu Xichao frowned.

"He is an upright person, and I appreciate him more."

Gu Xichao lowered her eyes slightly, and said bluntly: "Is it because my father really appreciates him, or because of Su Mengzhen?!"

Lu Chongming's expression was calm, and it seemed a little abnormal because he was too calm. He said lightly: "It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as his goal is the same as mine, at least for now."

Gu Xichao fell silent, even he himself didn't know why he suddenly mentioned the man who had been dead for a year at that moment, and even spoke in such a sharp tone, did he notice the difference in how his father treated him?This person is not a person who is easy to get close to others. Although he has never said it, he knows that his father in this world treats him differently from others. He likes this kind of attention and difference, even though the two have been separated all these years. However, from the letters he sent, he knew that his position in the other party's heart had not changed.

But Su Mengzhen's death left a deep imprint on this man's heart, which made Gu Xichao, who had always monopolized his love and care, suddenly a little unbearable.

Fortunately, he has grown up now and is about to reach the crown. He is no longer the wayward child he used to be. He clearly knows that a dead person is a dead person after all. People will miss and make people sad, but they are no match for time.

The atmosphere was inexplicably dull, and Lu Chongming suddenly asked, "Where's Bai Mingmo? Any news?"

Gu Xichao shook his head, since Cai Jing's downfall, he has paid special attention to Bai Mingmo's whereabouts, a person who has been by his side for nearly ten years, but betrayed him overnight, he will naturally not let go, but unfortunately, he has never found him he.

Regarding Bai Mingmo, Lu Chongming's feelings were even more complicated. At first, he admired him, but after all, he was afraid of the ambition in his eyes and knew that he had talent, but he didn't use it. Let him be by Gu Xichao's side After many years of wasting, and the betrayal that eventually led to Su Mengzhen's death, he would never forgive him.

Bai Mingmo?He really hoped that he would never show up, once he showed up, he would kill him!

Less than half a month after the new emperor ascended the throne, Lu Chongming returned to the north again. He didn't want to stay in the capital, and the emperor didn't dare to let him stay longer. At this moment, the war between Song and Jin was becoming more and more intense.

Half a year later, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom passed away, and the world was shaken. Everyone knew that the reason why the Jin people were able to survive until now was because of this brave and brave emperor. confusion.

What's more, a rumor suddenly came out from nowhere that the number of golden spirits was exhausted, and the day of national subjugation was just around the corner.

The army is in chaos!It can be said that the Jin emperor died at a very inappropriate time. Once he died, there was no suspense in the Song-Jin battle, which had reached a critical juncture.

At the beginning of the second year of Jingkang, Lu Chongming returned in triumph, and handed over thousands of members of the royal family including the King of Jin and the Emperor of Jin, and the Kingdom of Jin was destroyed.

Such unprecedented feats made him the first king with a different surname since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

No one can suppress Lu Chongming's prestige!

Zhuge Zheng and the other veterans were worried. While they were happy, they were more worried. They were worried that Lu Chongming's achievements and power would overwhelm the sky. But what they didn't expect was that Lu Chongming, who had become King Duan, did not After staying in the capital for a long time, after promoting Prince Duan's son Gu Xichao to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he led his troops to leave the capital again.

They are all happy to see the success of this. Prince Duan is talented and young, so he is much easier to deal with than his father. At least this court is still the court of the Zhao family, and the surname has not been changed to Gu.

In the next few years, Lu Chongming has been fighting north and south, Dali, Xixia, and Mongolia in the west, etc. The iron cavalry he led almost doubled the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The number of times he went back to the capital was very seldom, and every time he went back, he just went to see Gu Xichao, or to help him solve some minor troubles in the court.

In recent years, Gu Xichao's methods have become more and more tactful, and he has become a duck to water in the court. The number of times he needs to take action has gradually decreased, and more often he can solve it perfectly by himself. I don't even want to come back.

And then, one night, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, looking at the tent above his head, without any reason, he just knew that the time had come.

In the early morning of the next day, he got up and dressed slowly, summoned all the soldiers to order everything steadily, and under the condition of ensuring that there would be no chaos in the army no matter what happened, he hurried to the capital with his personal guards.

The whole seven-day journey was reduced to three days by him, and when he arrived in the capital, he was already covered in dust, and everyone was surprised by his sudden appearance.

It has been a full year since this meeting and the last time. Gu Xichao has become more handsome and mature, and the vigor of his youth has been replaced by a steady and deep mind.

Lu Chongming smiled and stayed with him for half a month, instead of rushing back and forth as usual.

Gu Xichao was also very happy about this, although he didn't show it on the surface, but his eyes were much softer.

This more than half a month is already the longest time that father and son have spent together except in Yanzhou that year.

"My lord." Accompanied by the servant, the graceful figure of Tingting walked slowly. A snow-white gauze covered her face, revealing only a pair of worried and beautiful eyes.

Lu Chongming thought for a while before he finally dug out the other party's identity information from a certain corner. He swallowed the sentence "Who are you?" If so, it is definitely something that can make people laugh out loud.

In fact, it’s not his fault. Marrying her back then was a temporary strategy. Later, Cai Jing fell down because she was the wife he married after all, and because of a little guilt for this weak woman, he kept her. And still let her bear the name of Mrs. Gu.

For so many years, he really hasn't seen each other a few times, so it's no wonder that he can't remember it. Even after many years of marching, he almost forgot that he had ever married such a wife.

Thinking about it now, he didn't say anything, he just thought that if he left, would Yi Xiaogu be willing to continue to support her because he hated her before?Maybe you should mention it to him.

Cai Siniang put the porridge in front of him, and said with some embarrassment: "This is what you liked before, I, I heard that you are back, so I want to cook it for you again..."

Lu Chongming looked at her flickering eyes, and slowly drank all the porridge in the bowl under the other's nervous breathing.

……

"Heh—" A pleasant chuckle sounded, and after Cai Siniang retreated a few steps in a panic, she revealed the person behind her.

The boy in gray changed his previous obedience, and straightened his whole body in an instant, "I haven't seen Mr. Gu for many years, why are you still so easy to deceive?"

Lu Chongming's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be shocked by the sudden situation at all. He raised the empty bowl and said casually, "You mean this bowl of porridge with poison?"

"You know?!" A sharp voice sounded, and Cai Siniang said in disbelief, "This is impossible! You, if you knew, why would you still drink it!"

Naturally, it was because he was about to leave, it didn't matter if it was poisonous or not.Lu Chongming pursed his lips, "No matter how many grievances and grievances there are between me and Cai Jing, you are the most innocent one after all. I owe you and pay you back together with Xiao Gu, and it will be irrelevant from now on."

Is it irrelevant anymore? !Cai Siniang burst into tears, how could it be irrelevant, she is his wife, ever since she married him she believed that she was his, even though she knew she was not worthy, but she still admired him, such an upright Which woman does not admire the great hero?She has always been proud of being his wife.

But he indirectly forced to death his father, his family, the entire Cai family because of him, and - himself, when he first met him, the strangeness that flashed in the other party's eyes made her hurt and she hated her, and finally chose This way, she didn't know whether she was doing more for the enmity of the Cai family, or for revenge for the other party's neglect and ignorance for so many years.

However, it didn't matter anymore, Cai Siniang took out a bottle from her sleeve, and said sadly: "This is the same poison as you. As a wife, murdering your own husband is unforgivable, so I will accompany you. live on..."

"You—" Lu Chongming wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Cai Siniang drank all the poison in the bottle, and the drug took effect very quickly, and she fell to the ground with abdominal pain in a short while.

Lu Chongming also felt the pain in his belly. He looked at the person standing beside him bitterly, and said angrily, "Bai Mingmo! Why didn't you stop her!"

"Oh! Master Gu recognized it!" Bai Mingmo stretched out his hand, and the mask as thin as a cicada's wings fell off, revealing a clean face, "But why should I stop it? A person who wants to die I never waste time trying to save."

Lu Chongming was in more and more pain, and he could see the woman on the ground struggling less and less until she stood still.

He closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are amazing, I have been looking for you for so many years, and in the end, I have been under my nose all the time."

"Master Gu values ​​love and righteousness." Bai Mingmo chuckled, "Knowing that it's poisonous, you can still drink it into your stomach without changing your face. I originally planned to do it myself."

Lu Chongming clenched his teeth, and beads of hot sweat rolled down his cheeks, "For so many years, I have always wanted to ask you why you betrayed me back then."

"Pfft!" Bai Mingmo laughed loudly, his waist bent down, and finally he said, "What's the point of asking? Of course it's for climbing up. If you don't dare to use me, I'll find someone who dares to use me." people are better."

"Also, don't talk about betrayal, never loyal, how can you betray?"

Yeah?Lu Chongming supported the table and stood up. He looked directly at Bai Mingmo and said in a hoarse voice, "I may not survive today, but you don't want to get out alive!"

Bai Mingmo's heart tightened, and suddenly he had a bad premonition, he retreated!Get back!

But it's still too late!

When the black grenade exploded, he spat out a big mouthful of blood, the house collapsed, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the quiet night boiled like boiled water in an instant.

In his blurred vision, he could only see the gray figure staggering a few times and retreating in an instant, but Lu Chongming knew that he would definitely not survive tonight.

If a person who has been seriously injured can escape from the mansion smoothly, then Gu Xichao should be stuffed back into his mother's womb to practice again.

His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, he seemed to hear a cold voice saying something vaguely, before he lost consciousness, he thought, expel the Tartars, make the country peaceful and peaceful, kill Bai Mingmo for revenge, he has done what he promised, Su Mengzhen can rest in peace, the only pity is that I can't see Xiao Gu again...

……

In April of the seventh year of Jingkang, King Duan was assassinated and died, and the world mourned.On the day of the funeral, thousands of winds and clouds rode out to help the spirit, and countless people in Kaifeng wept bitterly, and the crying shook the sky.

In May, Gu Xichao inherited his father's title as King Duan and named Shaofu.

After Lu Chongming's death, Gu Xichao changed from his usual modesty and tact to aloofness and indifference, which made the emperor unable to step down many times.

A few months later, despite the persuasion of Zhuge Zhengwo and others, Zhao Huan decided to cut his throne under the slander of the villain.

In the winter of the seventh year of Jingkang, Zhu Muyang and other generals led troops into the palace in the name of the Qing emperor, beheaded more than a dozen ministers, and dozens of families were ransacked.

Because it was the midwinter time at that time, later generations called it "the midwinter change"!

After the midwinter change, the court hall was thoroughly cleaned, even the old official Zhuge Zhengwo had no choice but to retire, and the entire court hall Duan Wang Gu Xichao covered the sky with one hand.

Emperor Zhao Huan was in a state of panic all day long, and soon fell ill, and never got up again.

In February of the eighth year of Jingkang, the emperor passed away. Gu Xichao embraced the second prince who was just three years old as the new emperor, proclaimed himself the regent, and ruled the world. He was the only one in heaven and earth!
