The minister raised His Majesty in a wrong way [Rebirth]

Lou Chen took the initiative to break the silence, bent down, and saluted respectfully and humbly.

In fact, ever since Gao Yu appeared in the field of vision, Lou Chen never took his eyes off of him, but Lou Chen was preoccupied so he didn't take the initiative to recommend himself.He silently listened to the conversation between the other party and Lou Ye, and silently listened to him mentioning the purpose of this trip, and he kept hiding his existence until he mentioned himself at the end.

Lou Chen tried not to let his performance be too conspicuous to attract the second prince's attention, but at the same time he was silently observing the other party, not missing any actions.

The old days reappeared, and the same words he had kept in mind thousands of times in his previous life, but now, even though he still had the same rhetoric, the same expression, and the same purpose, when he was reborn, his mood was no longer the same as before. So anxious and restless.

Looking at the proud little head and the half-grown child who was trying to maintain the majesty and bearing of the prince in front of him, Lou Chen was full of thoughts.

At this moment, many images flashed through his mind, but the one that impressed him the most was not the "Superior Emperor" after he ascended the throne, it was not the "golden horse and iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger" when he was on his own expedition, and it was not the "red tears stealing the king" after the great change. Hanging down, eyes full of spring breeze, nothing is wrong", but "the years are quiet and beautiful, innocent and innocent at that time" when we first met when we were young.

Just like now, emotions are written on the face, and the child's heart is clear, and he can't hide it and never pretends.

The more people live in the darkness and the killing, the more they yearn for the light. Lou Chen has conquered and killed for many years, and he has long cultivated a hard heart after seeing life and death. There is only one softness in his heart, but he has always hidden the original love. good.

Lou Chen's mind was a little distracted at the moment, and he couldn't help but think that it would be great if Gao Yu would never grow up, and be as innocent as he was when he first met him, then there would be no suspicion, no parting, and no love. There will be betrayal and betrayal.

It's a pity that the world can't be controlled by others. The children in front of us will eventually grow up, and after experiencing the hardships of the world, they become stable and gradually lose their innocence.

Thinking to this point, Lou Chen slowly lowered his head, brought his emotions back to the bottom of his heart, bowed his head respectfully to the still young and ignorant prince, and said: "The grass-roots Lou Chen, see Your Highness the Second Prince."

Xu Shi's eyes shifted so suddenly that Gao Yu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses: "Excuse me."

Putting his hand in his hands and wrinkling his small nose slightly, Gao Yu recalled the emperor's uncle's advice before going out today, and finally imitated the other party's tone and said similarly: "A tiger father has no dogs, what General Lou taught is really nothing. Incompetent bastards, the emperor's uncle specially asked his father for the purpose. This time, the descendants of Lou's family will go to Beijing to participate in the selection of swords. This is exactly what I think. The pillars of the country are young, and I believe the Lou family will not let them Father is disappointed."

Lou Chen naturally also understood that Gao Yu, who was only eight years old, could not come up with these words, and it was King Jing who gave him thousands of instructions, so Gao Yu kept them in mind.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes shone brightly, he no longer had the fear and worry of his previous life, he just nodded his head slightly, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Second Prince, for your reminder, Caomin will definitely live up to the grace of God."

"That's very good." Gao Yu nodded, very satisfied with the answers of Lou Chen's two uncles and nephews. He is neither arrogant nor impatient, as expected, he is the person that the emperor's uncle likes, "Then you just wait for a while. Be good."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving a room full of stunned and astonished onlookers.

Although Gao Yu left, his words were like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, causing ripples.

Everyone present knew that although these words seemed to be greetings, they had far-reaching meanings.

Every three years, the candidates for "holding the sword" are all, and all the families are staring at it. As a special case, Lou Chen is very likely to be selected by the bird screen, and naturally he has become the target of public criticism.No matter how stupid the people who said these words came out, everyone knew that the Lou family had a backer, and this backer was none other than the emperor Gao Yu said, the only idle prince in Nanliang—Jing Wang Gao Zheduan.

The cleanliness of the officialdom is also a major reason why Nanliang can be so strong and invincible in the face of powerful enemies.

Nanliang has always been able to be the most capable. Even if he was born in poverty, as long as he has the opportunity, he can still make a fortune and become an extremely powerful minister.

Therefore, even though the Lou family has long been a downcast clan and has not entered Beijing for many years, and because of the events of that year, they were excluded by the famous families in Beijing, everyone present did not dare to underestimate them.Because of Bao Buqi, in this generation, capable people will stand out and shine again.

Besides, it must be no ordinary person who can make the prince treat them differently and even open the door for them.This made the children of the aristocratic family who started planning when they entered the arena how to squeeze out Lou Chen, a competitor, had to assess the situation and re-plan.

As a result, the attitudes of the nobles of the Lou family who were respectful and far away from the uncles and nephews of the Lou family changed dramatically in a short period of time. Those who were far away started whispering and discussing plans, and the children of the noble families who were closer to them even took the initiative to talk to each other.

Lou Chen didn't like to socialize and it wasn't his turn to talk at the moment. If someone had a conversation, his uncle would naturally answer for him, so he simply took a step back and stepped back to Lou Ye's side.

It's just that unlike before when he deliberately weakened his sense of existence, Lou Chen didn't shy away from it this time, and accepted the scrutiny of everyone with different eyes openly, while his eyes were always on the person not far away, neither hot nor hot. Intense, but gentle with a hint of reluctance.

As for Gao Yu, whom he had been watching all the time, because he paid too much attention to others, he didn't notice the existence of Lou Chen's gaze at all.At this time, he was sitting on the high-backed chair prepared for the princes, eating snacks happily. Whether it was the slightly dangling feet off the ground, or the slightly raised curve of the corners of his mouth, it all showed the joy of the master at the moment. Feeling.

In fact, Gao Yu's current mood is indeed good.

When the emperor came to find him, Qian Dingling Wan asked him to remember to say what he said just now in front of everyone. Now that the task has been successfully completed, Gao Yu is overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth can't help but twitch Tilt.

He seems to have seen the blooming flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, smelled the aroma of wine in the deep alleys, heard the singing of warblers on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and met the ice and snow.

Perhaps it was the reason why he lived outside the palace for several years when he was a child. Although Gao Yu was a prince and had been receiving the most rigorous education of the royal family after returning to the palace, he loved the beauty of life outside the palace even more.

It can be said that everything that is different from the rules and regulations of the palace is what he yearns for, and everything that is free and easy is what he looks forward to.So this time the emperor mentioned this matter, and said that as long as he could keep the son of the Lou family, he would take him out of the palace to play, Gao Yu immediately agreed.

He doesn't have many trustworthy people in this palace, except for his father, queen and queen, only his uncle who takes care of him from time to time.

Although he vaguely knew the meaning of his words, he didn't understand the deeper meaning, but it didn't matter if he didn't understand, he knew that the emperor would never harm him.Therefore, the emperor's uncle told him that as long as he did not violate the will of his father, he would follow suit, not to mention that there was an extra reward this time.

Thinking of the leisurely and comfortable days after leaving the palace, the corners of Gao Yu's mouth turned up higher and higher, and he didn't even care that the Fourth Prince, who loved to steal food by the side, deliberately stole the snacks from his table onto his own.

Just when Gao Yu was still in the mist, a sharp cry broke his reverie - "The emperor is here".

This yell was like thunder, and the noisy hall immediately fell silent, and the princes who were still chatting also stood up and bowed their heads towards the door to welcome the arrival of the holy car.

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in a black-bottomed five-clawed golden dragon robe and silver-line moiré cloud-toed boots walked in slowly from the entrance of the hall, surrounded by a group of attendants.

He was not in a hurry, he walked all the way to the viewing platform of the main hall and sat on the highest part of the main hall without saying a word.

After a long time, until the doubts of the people in the hall gradually deepened and the atmosphere became dignified, there was a light cough from the high platform, and then slowly said: "Get flat."

His voice was hoarse with sickness and not as majestic as usual, but under this situation, every word fell on everyone's hearts, and it was deafening.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed their heads and knelt to thank the gift. At this time, those who were bolder could sneak a glance when returning the gift, but those who were more timid had already trembled and could not straighten their waists.

But on the high platform, Nanliang Gaose looked at the people in the valley as if he was on the top of the mountains. He looked at the performance of everyone present, and at the same time he had some considerations in his heart.

Since the emperor had just recovered from his illness, it was inconvenient to say more, so most of the words in the previous scenes were omitted, and he just praised that all the candidates for holding the sword were outstanding this time, so that everyone could perform well.

On the contrary, the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the selection was more thoughtful. After announcing the rules of the competition, he looked around and finally said meaningfully: "The purpose of today's 'holding the sword' competition is to select available talents for Nanliang. Those who are capable are always the best, and all of you are the sons of aristocratic families who have been selected after a series of tests. They have high status. But when you are fighting, you will inevitably be injured if you have no eyes, so if anyone is injured, don’t try to be brave. It’s just a martial arts competition Please keep it in mind, everyone.”

These words were obviously spoken on behalf of the emperor, both as a reminder and as a deterrent. The purpose is obviously to tell everyone that the emperor cannot tolerate a single grain of sand. If anyone dares to use tricks to win in the contest, it will definitely not be easy. thing.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the high platform, and after seeing the emperor nodding his head and raising his hand as a signal, he kowtowed and retreated to the side.

The eunuchs serving the emperor immediately understood it, and the sound of "the contest begins" announced the beginning of the selection of the new military commander Humerus in Nanliang, and the first test after Lou Chen's rebirth also kicked off.

"Qingzhong Hall" was originally a side hall. In the past, the Empress Dowager of Nanliang loved to listen to operas. Emperor Chunxiao built such a hall not far from the Empress Dowager's residence. In her spare time, she brought several noble concubines to listen to operas with the Empress Dowager. A rare warm moment in the royal family.

The sword-handling martial arts test was originally to be held in the teaching field in the front hall, but due to the poor health of the holy dragon, it was changed to indoors.

It is true that after the Empress Dowager's funeral, the "Hall of Qingzhong" has never been used again. This time, the hall was specially opened for the selection and transformed into a martial arts field, which is enough to reflect the attention of the Holy Majesty on the selection of the sword.

The arena was changed from a stage to a stage, and the railing made of mahogany was divided into two parts, dividing it into two venues.Next to the arena, there is a "roster" with gilded dragon backgrounds erected high. The names and clans of 32 people are listed on the list. Lou Chen's name is at the bottom. There is no opponent in a row alone, so it is not conspicuous at first glance. .

In the previous life, Lou Chen felt ashamed for a while when he saw the big list hanging high, and felt that his sudden appearance this time was a special case, not to mention that the competition was so eye-catching.As a result, he felt even more pressured. If he did not perform well, it would not only damage the face of the Lou family, but also make Prince Jing favored.

But in this life, he no longer has the leisure to pay attention to these, because although the martial arts moves have long been memorized, and the actual combat in many years of combat has allowed him to master them, but just like the official of the Ministry of Rites reminded, although the selection of swords cannot use sharp weapons , but it is inevitable that there will be injuries in the fist and foot competition.

In his memory, during the martial arts competition in the last life, someone had taken crooked ways because of their eagerness to win.Of course, he was discovered on the spot, which not only disqualified him, but also caused his father to be demoted.It's just a pity that the person who competed with him was seriously injured after being plotted against, and finally failed to be selected.

Lou Chen wondered whether the trajectory of the world would be changed because of his rebirth, and the people who would compete with him would change accordingly, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.Withdrawing his eyes, while watching the competition on the stage, he secretly carried out the exercises.After all, it was the body of more than ten years ago, and he remembered the moves, but the internal strength of that year has long since become rusty.

However, after injecting a wave of zhenqi into his fingertips, Lou Chen felt a chill behind his back, and his eyes widened in astonishment—although his internal energy flowed without hindrance, it was completely out of his control after condensing, and he hadn't waited to exert it The effect is like a mud cow entering the sea, and it dissipates at the fingertips!
