Save the disabled male protagonist

Because of Lu Yan's matter, Lu Zhi originally wanted to intercede with Lu Yuanming.

From Lu Zhi's point of view, he and Lu Yan are Lu Yuanming's uncles after all, and Lu Yuanming grounding Lu Yan is simply disrespectful to his elders!

What's more, Lu Yan has put in a lot of effort to manage the ups and downs of the Hou's mansion. Although there is a crime, isn't there no credit for it?

And corruption is even more inevitable...

Take this country as an example. In the old days, the emperor was incapable of governing the country and only wanted to enjoy himself. Later, there were things like selling officials and nobles.

But after the new dynasty was established, it was still unavoidable.

The reason for this is simple. For Lu Zhi, his experience is even deeper.

He was a poor scholar in the past, and he also had the ambition to become a high-ranking official. He thought that if he could become an official, he would definitely make the world clean and peaceful.

But when he put on the black gauze hat, Lu Zhi realized how naive he was before!

In the officialdom, there are too many things to be scrupled about. Sophisticated people, standing in line, are all important things to consider. Who doesn't need to take care of things when they come and go?How can it be possible to rely on a little salary? Corruption is unavoidable. It is too difficult to be a clean official.

But what Lu Zhi knew was that he did not get the official position by his ability at all, but by his brother who has made great military achievements, so he was more afraid than ordinary people that he would lose everything.

After thinking about these things, it is doomed that Lu Zhi will no longer have the ambition he once had, and he can only follow the trend.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi made up his mind to have a good talk with Lu Yuanming, but at this moment a servant came to report, and after hearing the news from him, Lu Zhi was in a panic.

It turned out that Lu Yuanming knew about the medicinal diet and was being investigated.

In fact, Lu Yan discussed this matter with Lu Zhi once, and Lu Zhi agreed at that time.

Of course Lu Zhi thought more than Lu Yan.

Now the court is divided into two factions, one is headed by Prime Minister Xiao An, they are from the old dynasty family, they have made a lot of efforts to support Sima Qian, naturally hope Sima Qian can pay back, and reuse the sons of Gongqing.

The other faction is headed by Deputy Prime Minister Zhang He. They used to be in white clothes, and they have come to where they are today by relying on their hard work. They oppose the same as the previous dynasty and feel that a new system for recruiting talents should be re-established.

The emperor's younger brother, King Yu Sima Qu, was wooed by Xiao An. As for the latter, Marquis Pingnan Lu Tong and Zhang He had some friendship, so it was rumored that Marquis Pingnan even supported the latter.

Lu Zhi once made indirect remarks about Lu Tong, but Lu Tong didn't say anything.

Lu Zhi couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, it was safer to support Xiao An obviously.

Xiao An is the prime minister of the dynasty and the head of the country, these two identities are enough for him to stand tall.

What's more, Sima Qian is now forty and has few heirs. Empress Xiao Wei is not Sima Qian's first wife, but she has given birth to his second son, Sima Yuan, who is now 13 years old and has been established as the prince. Nothing terribly wrong.

As for Sima Qian's other sons, the eldest son Sima Cheng is 16 years old, and his mother is Sima Qian's first wife, Lou Mingyu.The Lou family used to be a wealthy family, but it is still far behind a noble family like the Xiao family.

And Lou Mingyu was not liked by Sima Qian, as Sima Qian married Xiao Wei in order to gain the support of the Xiao family.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, Sima Qian made Xiao Wei the queen, Sima was originally the prince, and Lou Mingyu retired as the second, only a noble concubine.

As for the third son, Sima Hui, who was ten years old, his mother, Bo, was quite favored, but the family was powerless, and it was impossible to threaten the crown prince. The other heirs were younger, and their competitiveness was almost zero.

But now that Lu Tong is dead, and Lu Zhi's life in the court is not satisfactory, he urgently needs a stepping stone to the faction where Prime Minister Xiao An belongs.

This was also one of the reasons why Lu Zhi agreed to Lu Yan's plan.

But luckily now, Lu Yuanming found out about it!

After Lu Zhi panicked, he calmed down again.

Leaving aside the fact that he just knew about it and didn't do it himself, no matter how much Lu Yuanming investigated, there was no evidence.

Besides, Lu Zhi knew the character of his second brother Lu Yan. He knew the stakes of this matter, and he would never admit it. As long as he didn't admit it, he would naturally not confess himself.

And no matter what Lu Zhi thought, he felt that something was wrong. In just a few days, Lu Yuanming was obviously still lingering on the hospital bed as before, but so many big things suddenly happened in the Hou Mansion!

The reason for this is that Lu Zhi hardly needs to think about it.

Before today, they just married Lu Yuanming a happy husband, and they became what they are today!

Could it be that these words of joy are really true?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi almost regretted it. He cursed Master Yuanhui several times in his heart, and finally after thinking about it, he decided to vent to Lu Yan first.

It's just that the scene of not being able to enter Lu Yan's courtyard last time is still vivid in his mind, but this is nothing in Lu Zhi's eyes. He quickly ordered people to go down, bribed a few guards, and then passed the letter in.

After taking care of all these, Lu Zhi also heaved a sigh of relief, and then he was ready to sleep.

Now that he is old, he is at the age of knowing his destiny, and his energy is not as good as before. Fortunately, he has both children and a young wife.

But thinking of Zhang Yuan, Lu Zhi became a little dissatisfied again. Back then when he married Zhang Yuan, he was worried that she, as a noble daughter, would have a delicate temper, not like his previous wife.

But these years, Zhang Yuan has done a good job and took good care of her children. Who knows what happened these few days, and she suddenly became like this, and she started a cold war with him.

Lu Zhi really wanted to coax him, but he couldn't let it go. Besides, he was worried now, and felt that Zhang Yuan didn't know how to understand him, so Lu Zhi went to bed depressed.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhi got up later than usual. He didn't have time to eat, so he rushed to court, but found that all the ministers were looking at him and whispering.

Lu Zhi was very puzzled, but instead caused everyone to look more meaningfully, until a person with a good personal relationship told him that last night Lu Yuanming, the son of Marquis of Pingnan, sent his second uncle Lu Yan to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in the capital to sue Lu Zhi Yan invaded the family property, not only that, but also poisoned the medicinal food, and murdered him!

As Lu Yuanming's uncle, how could Lu Zhi's ignorant appearance not make people feel suspicious?

After all, a few days ago, everyone heard that Lu Yuanming, who was once famous all over the world, went to the battlefield at the age of 13 and had an undefeated record, was also the young commander of the Silver Feather Army, and unexpectedly married a man wife .

Although this man's wife is what Master Yuan Hui said to be happy, but no matter what, a man's wife is also a choice. Very few people will marry a man's wife, let alone Lu Yuanming, the son of Marquis of Pingnan?

I'm afraid it's not because he is blind and useless, and join forces to plot against him, right?

And could it be that only one person did this?

In fact, no one dared to mention Lu Tong and his son these days, and this matter was just a joke in private, but this big case happened last night, how could it not surprise people?

It is really unreasonable for Lu Tong and his son, who once conquered half the world, to end up like this...

Even though there were ministers in the court who complained to them, the so-called death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, some people had proposed to thoroughly investigate the defeat of the army before, but in the end there was no result, which has to be thought-provoking.

At this time, Lu Zhi understood that he was also a liar, he never thought that Lu Yuanming would do such a great job, and even sent him directly to the Yamen!

Has he ever cared about family ethics?Haven't told myself yet!

And when Lu Zhi thought of delivering the letter by himself last night, why wasn't he guilty?What he couldn't understand was why no one notified him this morning!

Just as Lu Zhi was flustered and sweating profusely, it was time for morning court.

The golden bell rang outside the hall, and the eunuch in charge of ceremonies shouted: "The emperor has arrived——"

The new emperor Sima Qian walked out slowly wearing a bright yellow Longgun yellow robe, and when he walked in front of Lu Zhi, he stopped suddenly.

Lu Zhi's heart rose in his throat at this moment. Although Sima Qian has a generous personality and is considered a benevolent monarch, since he sat on the throne, he is a little different from before.

As the saying goes, the majesty of a king is unpredictable, how can Lu Zhi not be afraid?

Fortunately, Sima Qian only stopped for a moment, and then took a step forward. When Sima Qian sat on the highest dragon chair and lowered his body, everyone raised their heads.

Although Sima Qian is in his forties, and has many wrinkles around his eyes, he has a healthy body and a steady pace, and the solemn expression on his face when he looks at the ministers adds a bit of majesty to his whole person. You will find that there is a slight graying between his temples.

The new dynasty did not completely follow the system of the old dynasty, and the court was much more free. Generally, after the emperor spoke, all the ministers could speak.

This move is of great benefit to the policy suggestions put forward when addressing the problem, but sometimes it will cause chaos in the DPRK and China. No wonder Sima Qian often has some headaches.

But today, Sima Qian started with a few words and talked about some major policy issues, and found that the ministers in power today seemed to be a little absent-minded. Looking at where Lu Zhi is.

Deputy Prime Minister Zhang He even lowered his brows, as if he was considering something.

Chief Sima Qian sighed, and suddenly said: "Lu Zhi, this morning I heard something happened in Pingnanhou's residence, is it true?"

Hearing the emperor mentioning his name suddenly, Lu Zhi was already in a state of anxiety, but now he trembled even more. When he came out, everyone noticed.

Lu Zhi could only grit his teeth tightly and said: "Your Majesty, I only heard about this matter this morning, so I don't know very well."

Now Lu Zhi could only answer in this way. After all, when he came to court just now, many people saw that he didn't know what was going on. Naturally, Lu Zhi couldn't lie in front of the emperor.

Such an answer obviously caused an uproar, and Sima Qian also said suspiciously: "Aiqing is now living in the Hou's Mansion, how can she not know?"

Lu Zhi's heart tightened, and he could only do his best to come up with some reasons. He buried his head deeply and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Ever since... the prince returned to the mansion, he didn't want to see anyone. Even though he is the prince My uncle only met Shizi once, and never saw him again... let alone my second younger brother... No, the thief Lu Yan would have evil thoughts about Shizi! Poisoning the medicinal food, Shizi might be due to the family affection of Gu Nianchen's brother , I was afraid that I would make things difficult for me, so I didn't inform Yu Chen in advance. Now that the son has found out, and I am willing to kill relatives righteously, I must punish these thieves...severely!"

Sima Qian was silent for a moment when he heard the words, he didn't know whether he believed it or not, then he frowned and said: "Ai Qing means that this matter is true, Lu Yuanming's body is now..."

Lu Zhi had been very upset for a long time. At this time, he heard Sima Qian mention Lu Yuanming's name again after many days. Although he didn't know what the other party meant, Lu Zhi could only tell the truth.

Originally, Lu Yuanming couldn't afford to be seriously injured, but after taking those medicines, how could he get better.

So Lu Zhi could only reply: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you. Now that my nephew is seriously ill and is being harmed by a villain, I am afraid that the time will be unpredictable."

At the end, Lu Zhi choked up, with tears in his eyes and a look of uncontrollable grief.

The ministers who had doubts just now couldn't say anything at this time, but felt empathy, couldn't bear to hear it suddenly, and pleaded for Lu Yuanming one after another: "Your Majesty, these thieves and villains must be severely punished. Ge Shi, such a situation is really pitiful."

At this moment, the vice chancellor Zhang He came out even more, and resolutely said: "I think this matter is quite suspicious. Pingnan Marquis Lu Tong and his son Lu Yuanming have fought for many years and have never been defeated. Why did you conquer Liang two months ago?" Such a big mistake suddenly appeared in the matter, and now the son returned to Beijing, but was framed by traitors, there must be something hidden in it, please His Majesty thoroughly investigate."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court hall became silent, and Prime Minister Xiao An's expression changed even more.

When the news broke two months ago, the whole country was shocked.

At that time, most people had resentment towards Pingnan Marquis Lu Tong. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Xiao An, they demanded severe punishment. Only a few people, including Zhang He and some old generals who had received Lu Tong's favor, felt that this matter was still suspicious and needed to be thoroughly investigated. check.

Sima Qian, who has always been generous, was furious that day, very dissatisfied with the defeat of this battle.

In the end, Sima Qian made the decision of dismissal and only retained the title, and no one dared to mention it again after that.

But now that Zhang He spoke again, it was shocking, but many people also realized that maybe it was as Zhang He said, there was something else hidden in this matter, and from this point of view, it almost pointed directly at another person, Prime Minister Xiao An!

Although Xiao An is very popular now, he has not reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand. In almost the next moment, many people stood up and said: "The minister waits for a second opinion, and I hope His Majesty will thoroughly investigate..."

And Xiao An didn't show much other than the change of expression just now, he just looked closely at Sima Qian on the stage.

Facing the sound like wheat waves constantly ringing from the audience, Sima Qian's expression became more and more difficult, and Xiao An's mood became more and more bad.

At this time, I heard Sima Qian say: "I am going to accept what the ministers said, and I will investigate this matter again. Lu Yuanming has fought for many years and made countless achievements. He will give him a thousand gold and inherit the position of Marquis."

At this moment, Xiao An's eyes flickered with a sneer, but he was not flustered, but a sneer appeared on his face when he lowered his head.

In the early morning, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China was drafting an edict, but the eunuchs in the palace hadn't arrived yet, but the news had already spread throughout the capital.

It is said that the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the case of Pingnan Hou Lutong two months ago, and returned it to the prince, no, now it is a reward from the Marquis!

Today's breaking news came one after another. First, Lu Yuanming's uncle took the opportunity to murder the prince, and then this.

In fact, most of the people have a good impression of Lu Yuanming. After all, Lu Tong and his son were invincible, and the image of invincibility is too deep in people's minds. Come today's infamy.

But now, when everyone heard about it, they immediately understood that there was something hidden in it!

In this way, Lu Tong and his son were clearly framed by traitors.

Although the thorough investigation has not yet started, people are always willing to believe what they believe, and they already have results in their hearts. In addition, they can't help shaking their heads and sighing when they think of Lu Yuanming's current situation.

The pity for the proud son of heaven, the young general with a silver armor and a white horse, was not only forced to marry a male wife, but also ended up like this, the heavens really have no eyes!

But in fact, Lu Yuanming was lazily leaning on the pillow at the moment, while Chu Xiao was sitting by the bed, holding a book in his hand and reading it word by word.

Lu Yuanming can't see now, and there are very few things he can do, but talking to his concubine is one thing, and it is also the most interesting thing.

Lu Yuanming already knew what happened in the courtroom today, and there was an effect he had single-handedly brought about. The truth behind it remains to be determined in detail. The only thing he has to do now is to wait and pay attention to the variables.

At home, Lu Yuanming was not as scrupulous as before, but he still didn't reveal that his body was almost healed, because he found that the effect of doing so was very good.

For example, Chu Xiao still puts all his attention on him now, even though he is already in charge of the Hou Mansion, but still...

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanming felt a little inexplicably complacent.

At this time, Chu Xiao's voice was like a spring breeze, gently brushing past his ears: "My lord, what should be the meaning of this word?"

At this moment, there seemed to be an invisible itch in Lu Yuanming's heart, but the next moment, he realized that it was not an illusion. Chu Xiao suddenly pinched his hand, and with his fingertips on his palm, he outlined the One word mark after another appeared.

The corners of Lu Yuanming's lips lifted slightly, and he couldn't help but grasp this hand.
