Raise an emperor as a villain

It has been two full years since Lu Hengxiu came to Jiangnan. As the saying goes, "Above there is heaven and below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou".He had been shot by an arrow before, and his heart and lungs were hurt and he couldn't be cold.The capital is located in the north, and in winter he coughs all day long, and has to drink those strange medicines every day.The climate in Hangzhou is mild now, and last winter he didn't even drink any medicine, but he didn't get sick much.

It's late spring now, even though it's past the time when "scattered flowers gradually become charming eyes".But Hangzhou is beautiful all year round, as the saying goes: in spring, "flowers fill Sudi, willows and smoke"; in summer, "red clothes and green fans reflect clear waves"; A trace of blue and white ink".Therefore, even the literati and poets do not write poems about cherishing and hurting the spring, but just wait for the next beautiful season to come.

On this day, the sky is bright and the weather is clear, and the wind is mild. This is a good time for travel when "the warm wind makes tourists drunk".

Lu Hengxiu also brought his book boy Lu Ning to join in the fun. The mist above the embankment, the weeping willows are green and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. It is really a lively and good spring.It's just that although Lu Hengxiu said he wanted to watch the excitement, seeing so many people on the shore, he couldn't help but look for a quieter place.

"Master, there are so many people here, why don't we find a boat to swim in the lake!" Lu Ning seemed to see what he was thinking, and suggested thoughtfully.

"Okay," Lu Hengxiu nodded.Lu Ning trotted to find the boat.

At this time, there are many tourists, not only on the shore, but also on the lake, so there are not many empty boats parked on the shore.Lu Ning ran for more than two miles before he found a black boat under the shade of willows.

"Boater, take us to the lake!" Lu Ning finally found a small boat and asked excitedly.Unexpectedly, the boatman didn't answer, but stretched out a hand.

Seeing his arrogant attitude, Lu Ning couldn't help being a little angry, but there really wasn't any more decent boats nearby.Although he didn't care, how could he let the master run with him?So I reluctantly took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the boatman, "here, here you are."

The boatman squinted his eyes and took it, weighed it and said "not enough", and then lay back on the bow.

"You scoundrel, your boat is broken and small, so it's not worth so much money. I've already given you a lot. Could it be that you are the only boatman in this world?" Lu Ning was so angry that he slapped his hands I'm going to grab the silver that I just sent out.

"Ah Ning, what is money, just give it to him!" Lu Hengxiu appeared behind Lu Ning at some time.Although Lu Hengxiu was dismissed from his official position and kicked out of the capital, he could not afford to pay the boat fare, not to mention that he was indifferent all his life and never cared about things outside of himself like money.

Hearing what his master said, Lu Ning didn't dare to pester him anymore, so he took out an ingot of one tael of silver from his bosom and threw it to the boatman.The boatman took the money vigorously and vigorously, but he was not so happy.He pressed down the bamboo hat on his head, invited Lu Hengxiu into the boat, and started paddling on the ground.

The wind curtain, emerald curtain, and smoked willow painting bridge are gradually gone, and some budding lotus can be seen in the blue waves from time to time.

"Today, Mr. Tianshu was able to work for me, a commoner, to row a boat. Lu is really lucky." Not long after Lu Hengxiu boarded the boat, he suddenly said such a sentence.It caused Lu Ning to look at Lu Hengxiu in confusion, and then at the boatman who was concentrating on rowing.

Unexpectedly, the old boatman, who had been hunched over all this time, straightened up suddenly, and took off the bamboo hat that covered most of his face with one hand. "Lord Lu, long time no see. I wonder when Master Lu saw it?"

"I am no longer Mr. Lu, so why do you need to call me that again. As for when I saw it, I saw it from the very beginning. There is no ordinary boatman who would not be moved by such a large sum of money. "Lu Hengxiu said slowly, "Are you here to take Lu's life this time?" Not only was there no trace of panic in his tone, but it was calm.

Lu Ning was taken aback, thinking that the person in front of him was some kind of robber. "Let me tell you, our master has many friends who are officials. If you dare to touch my master's hair, I will keep you from seeing the sun tomorrow." Lu Ning was a boy and a half who had never seen the world. Trembling, he still didn't forget to say harsh words at Tianshu.

"Heh." Tianshu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "I'm here this time because someone wants to see you." Tianshu smiled inscrutably, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Come this way." Lu Hengxiu saw that he was pointing to the cabin, and walked in.Lu Ning was worried and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the murderous eyes of Tianshu who was guarding the hatch.

"Your Majesty?!" Lu Hengxiu couldn't help shouting when he saw the young man in brocade clothes sitting in front of the table, although he had already thought that the only one who could instruct the leader of the Shadow Guards, the head of the twelve guards of the emperor, was the emperor himself.But there was still some hesitation in my heart, "Why did that person come to me?"

It's just that now he couldn't help but admit it. Although the person in front of him was just a silhouette, how could he admit his mistake?This is the person he watched growing up and spent more than 20 years with.His whole life is intertwined with this person, and almost all his emotions are related to this person in front of him.

"In short, why are you so frightened? Is it so scary to see me?" The young man in brocade clothes didn't use his noble and unparalleled self-proclaim, just like he didn't wear the royal robe that represented his identity.He appeared in front of Lu Hengxiu only as Ming Jue.

"The emperor is the son of heaven, so he shouldn't risk his life and come to Hangzhou without a guard." Lu Hengxiu woke up from the shock, and knelt on the ground with the appearance of a civil servant admonishing him.

Ming Jue was very disappointed, "Could it be that the Tianshu outside can't count as a guard? No matter how you say it, you can conclude that I don't have a guard?"

"I..." Lu Hengxiu was speechless for a moment when asked by Ming Jue's aggressive tone.

Ming Jue pulled Lu Hengxiu up from the ground, and pushed him across to him.The cabin is so small that the table is also very narrow. Sitting opposite each other, the two can almost feel each other's warm breath.

Mingjue picked up the purple sand pot on the table and poured a cup of tea into the delicate white porcelain cup, "This Longjing is a specialty of Hangzhou, I think you drink it often now." Lu Hengxiu looked at the tea leaves fluctuating in the tea water , I suddenly thought of the ups and downs of my life in officialdom, in fact, it is just like this tea leaf!

"Why did the emperor think of Weifu's private visit? Remember to stop by to see the grass people." Lu Hengxiu picked up Ming Jue's tea for him just now, and said with a sip.In fact, just now Tianshu had clearly told him that Mingjue had come to see him specially, but he deliberately misinterpreted it.

"So what if I tell you that I came here specially to see you?" Ming Jue leaned forward slightly, almost whispering in Lu Hengxiu's ear.

"Your Majesty, don't be joking. How can a grassroots man be able to work for His Majesty?"

"In short, don't say that again. I will not go back to Jiangnan this time. If you refuse to take me in, I will live on the streets." Ming Jue, who had been the emperor for more than ten years, unexpectedly It's really difficult for him to pretend to be pitiful like this.

However, Lu Hengxiu still heard an unusual meaning from his joking tone, "What do you mean you won't go back again? You are the emperor, can you still stay in Hangzhou for the rest of your life?"

"Oh? My emperor can't stay in Hangzhou for a lifetime, so what if I am no longer the emperor? Can I stay with you in Hangzhou for a lifetime?" Ming Jue's eyes shone with anticipation.

But Lu Hengxiu still didn't understand what it means if he is not the emperor.

Seeing his confused face, Ming Jue finally decided to tell him everything. "I used to get very few things, so I always hold on to everything I can hold tightly. Power is so fascinating, I thought I could get everything when I got the supreme seat, but later I found out Gradually lost my true heart. I originally wanted to gain power, just to protect you better, but it was I who hurt you the most."

Lu Hengxiu also fell into deep thought when he heard the words. Since he left Yunbo's treacherous court struggle, he would often recall his life of entanglement with Mingjue.If the two of them said that they loved each other deeply, it would be too thin. If they said that they hated him, it would be out of the question now.It's just that this person has changed his life, whether he likes it or hates it, he is the most important person in his life.

"In a few days, you will hear the news about Daxing Emperor Bintian. I was afraid that if you got the news first, you would think that I was really dead, so I came here on my way." Ming Jue said, before Lu Hengxiu looked at it. He was indeed very tired from his expression.

"So you used fake death to deceive the world?" Even a calm and dignified person like Lu Hengxiu, who had experienced great storms and waves, couldn't help being shocked.

"Yes! I did not hesitate to plan so hard to come and stay with you, do you still have the heart to hate me?" Ming Jue's face revealed a smug look, in fact, he knew that Lu Hengxiu had long since I hated him, otherwise I wouldn't have seen him, so I cared about his safety first, and accused him of going out without authorization.

"You are too reckless. The royal family has no family ties. If you abdicate rashly, do you know the truth? If the prince knows, he will inevitably turn against you in order to stabilize his throne." Lu Hengxiu couldn't help but began to worry about Ming Jue, analyzing the pros and cons, Protecting Mingjue was almost something he would subconsciously think about.

"Don't think about it, since I decided to leave, I won't regret it."

"Will the emperor really not regret it? Do you... don't want this prosperous and prosperous country and the eternal empire?" Lu Hengxiu asked bluntly.

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of years of imperial career, in my opinion, it is better to take a small black boat with Qing in this prosperous and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, watch the wind pass by the willows, and listen to the rain hitting the summer lotus." Ming Jue straightened up. Lean forward slightly.

Lu Hengxiu tilted his head and looked at the vast lake outside from the window: "How can He De, a grassroots man, be so loved by the emperor? Now the grassroots are far away from the temple, and only want to die in the rivers and lakes. The past is like a cloud of smoke, the emperor should forget it!" After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.

Tianshu was slightly surprised to see Lu Hengxiu leave, but he didn't stop him either.He is loyal to the emperor, but in his heart he also hopes that Lu Hengxiu can spend the rest of his life alone in peace.
