The tyrant has a white moonlight

Xu time is on time, but the hall is unknown.

Lu Chao was sitting on the couch in his spare time. The Hubu Shangshu, who was given to sit beside the charcoal basin opposite him, was summoned by the emperor overnight. I was so hot that I was sweating all over my body.

"This year is a year of poor harvest," Lu Chao said unhurriedly, "The household department cannot make ends meet, Zhou Shangshu has worked hard."

"Being able to serve His Majesty is a poor minister." The Minister of the Household Department hurriedly got up and bowed. "Your Majesty governs the country well, and the treasury is full. Even if most of the expenditure is for disaster relief, it will not be stretched."

The two chatted back and forth like this for a few words, chatting with Lu Chao was really exhausting, the Secretary of the Household Department had to ensure that his answers were fluent and that the answers were beyond reproach, and at the same time he had to beware of the emperor's sudden change of color.

It wasn't until Ji Xiao walked in with the hand stove in his arms that Lu Chao's attention was suddenly attracted to him, and he looked much gentler than when he was facing Hubu Shangshu alone just now: "Why did you come back?"

Ji Xiao replied: "Originally, I wanted to give Chu Yu a rabbit and leave, but I happened to meet Shaohao, so I drank tea with him."

"I don't blame Chu Yu, why is this little eunuch unwilling to come back?" Lu Chao was a little unhappy, "Also, you said I would accompany you, but you refused. Leave me alone in this palace , it's really boring."

"Take you there too, I think the two of you will be able to overthrow his mansion, I'm afraid you can't come back now." Sitting down beside him, Ji Xiao suddenly asked, "Is Your Majesty going to discuss state affairs? Go ahead, don't waste other people's time."

It was only then that Lu Chao remembered that there was a little old man from the household department sitting opposite him, and Ji Xiao had already returned, so he didn't need to chat with him to pass the time, so he immediately got to the point: "Zhou Aiqing, go back and check, Is there anyone named Li Zhusong in Linxi Village?"

"?" Hubu Shangshu couldn't hide the puzzled look on his face, "Li Chuesong?"

Zhou Shangshu couldn't understand, how could this majestic [-]-year-old in front of him have anything to do with a small rural household?

"Well," Lu Chao continued, "His family's agricultural tax is collected this year as usual, so there is no need to lower it for him."

"..." The emperor's meaning, no matter how absurd he would dare to disobey, he could only promise, "Yes."

"There is also a middle-aged man who is friendly with him and has a mole the size of a fingernail on his chin. As for this one, he will only be punished halfway."

Hubu Shangshu: "...Good Your Majesty."

After Lu Chao finished speaking, his eyes drifted to Ji Xiao who was holding a cup of hot tea by his side. After waiting for a while, the old householder who was in the way on the opposite side realized that he was in the way, so Lu Chao spoke condescendingly : "Ai Qing can go."

Hubu Shangshu immediately got up and saluted and said goodbye, the action was done in one go, the whole process was so fast that Lu Chao didn't even have time to blink his eyes, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed that he had planned it for a long time.

"Look at how unlikable you are," Ji Xiao teased him on purpose, "You called someone into the palace at night just to get revenge on the two farmers, why are you so childish?"

Lu Chao was not convinced: "There is a price to be paid for everything. Is it possible that others can scold me at will? I just let you take advantage of so much, and I have not provoked me less in the past."

"Then haven't I already paid the price?" Ji Xiao also imitated his unconvinced tone, pointing to several places on his body, "This, this, and this, where have you never touched?"

Lu Chao was inexplicably happy, and retorted unreasonably: "Your actions are clearly rewarded for evil."

Ji Xiao finished drinking the tea in the cup, threw the hand stove on the couch, and suddenly lay down in Lu Chao's arms, then looked at him from bottom to top, his tone couldn't be softer: "Ah Lai ..."

"Do you really want me to come with me?"

Lu Chao took his hand and paused, but soon returned to normal, he smiled: "Of course."

"Then why do you still carry this dagger?" Ji Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand towards his waist, but missed the handle of the knife, so he reached out.

Lu Chao leaned over and touched the tip of his nose: "I've already hidden it, it's too late for you to regret it now."

Ji Xiao breathed a sigh of relief invisibly.

"Tomorrow is Lichun," Ji Xiao gently wrapped her index finger around Lu Chao's hair hanging on her chest, "It's also your birthday, do you want to go back to Dongshan to have a look?"

Lu Chao didn't answer directly, but just lowered his head and looked at Ji Xiao's earlobe: "Do you want to go back and have a look? You've been gone for so many years, it must have been too dilapidated to see, and time has passed, so there's nothing to see there."

Ji Xiao propped herself up slightly, and got up from Lu Chao's lap: "You don't want to go back? Haven't you been back for so many years?"

"It's not that I've never been back, it's just that I seldom go there," Lu Chao replied casually, then paused, and continued, "I'm different from ordinary people, and this birthday is meaningless, so you don't have to take it too seriously , let the Imperial Dining Room serve a bowl of longevity noodles."

Ji Xiao suddenly discovered that although he no longer had much idea of ​​the elapsed time, the long span of time still cruelly opened the distance between him and Lu Chao. They could choose to avoid it, but it was still inevitable. keeping it.

And he was no longer able to understand the thoughts of the grown-up A Lai in front of him. Lu Chao seemed to be able to forgive him everything, but the hands holding him were half-relaxed. It seemed that he would suddenly let go at any time, and then leave him like he used to, without any regrets.

But the wound on Lu Chao's body was torn open by himself. During the days when he was away, it healed and festered repeatedly. He did not become immune to pain because of this, but became a child who was more afraid of pain and dared not cry. .

Ji Xiao was so distressed that she couldn't help holding his fingers, and then gently kissed his fingertips and two knuckles. With lingering lust, she kissed deeply the unclean ailments on Lu Chao's body. It was a kind of pleasure mixed with tingling and tingling contradictions. Lu Chao felt that his soul, which belonged exclusively to the spirit of objects and was much colder than other creatures, was stretching and trembling.

----

It was day, and dawn was breaking.

Lu Chao boarded the Dragon Throne amidst the grand ceremony of kneeling and buckling three times, and his spirit seemed better than usual.After several rounds of discussions were over, Lu Chao still had no intention of retiring. All the ministers felt strange, but no one dared to ask.

But seeing Lu Chao raised his eyes and scanned the audience, he suddenly said, "Everyone, I was over forty when I came to the throne, and now I have been in office for over thirty years. I'm really old and I can't do what I want."

That's what he said, but the ministers present looked younger than Lu Chao, and no one knew what kind of madness their moody emperor had gone today.

Zuo Cheng stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty's body has a life span of tens of millions of years. Now it is only more than seventy years old. To Your Majesty, it is just a drop in the ocean. Just like Your Majesty's Longyan, he is still in his prime, and he will grow old when he is old." Woolen cloth?"

"Ai Qing was joking," Lu Chao couldn't help lowering his head, and then said, "I would like to ask you, Ai Qing, is there any emperor in history who can not grow old for more than seventy years?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zuo Cheng: "At this age, even Qing's grandfather thinks he is too old. Do you really think that I am the real son of the dragon and have a lifespan of ten thousand years?"

"This..." Zuo Cheng was in a dilemma, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and knelt down, "I have always believed in this, His Majesty is loyal and righteous, loves the people's life, improves internal affairs, and invites talents to innovate. There is no intention of violating the territory, but the military strength is strong and the finances are stable, it is really a prosperous age, and your majesty is really a wise king through the ages."

Lu Chao was unmoved, and just said unhurriedly: "Zuo Cheng's flattery is really nice, and I like it very much, but the emperor and I are already tired of being a widow, and there have been voices of dissatisfaction in the court. Everyone is waiting for the widow to die. It's just a pity-the widow is really not a human being, and none of you people can survive me."

Before he finished speaking, there was already an uproar in the courtroom. Although they had already guessed what Lu Chao said, it was still frightening to hear these words come out of the emperor's mouth.

I always feel that the emperor will kill them all in the next moment.

In the panic, someone muttered, "It's not a human, isn't it... a demon?"

Although it was flustered just now, the scene that was still barely orderly became chaotic immediately, and several ministers wanted to run out with their trousers up.

Lu Chao slightly hooked the corners of his mouth. Suddenly, the hall seemed to be erected with four invisible high walls. The people outside the hall could only hear a sudden silence inside, but the people inside the hall seemed to be pressed down by some invisible force. In place, unable to move.

"Why are you running?" Lu Chao condescendingly looked at the terrified faces below the stage. The solemn sandalwood incense was slightly mixed with the smell of urine, and it was unknown which minister couldn't hold it back.

Lu Chao gently covered his nose, with a look of disgust on his face: "If you are so timid, what are you doing?"

After finishing speaking, he got up, and said in a deep voice: "The new emperor should be chosen among the children and grandchildren of the widow's brothers. I remember that the grandson of the thirteenth brother is regarded as a young talent. This year, his father's fief is in the most miserable situation. I heard that he It took a lot of effort, and most of the victims were settled down. The widow... the old man is approaching, so he should abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

"My dear friends, there will be a time later."
