Raise an emperor as a villain

Ning Yuanhang's achievements allowed Lu Hengxiu to retain the achievements of the New Deal, and step by step to reform this decadent official system according to his plan.

His life has been full of ups and downs. His status as a criminal minister made him cautious, his life as a court servant made him humble and cowardly, his subsequent ups and downs made him yearn for stability, and now that he is in power, he becomes ambitious.

In the past, he was devoted to the sake of the emperor and the country, but some people said that he was a sycophant.Now he plays with power to the point that some people respect him and fear him.He has never been a dignified gentleman like Fu Minghuayun. He is the arm of the emperor and the sword of the emperor, who can assist thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and slaughter all living beings.

With the pacification of the war in Mobei, the wave of opposition to the New Deal in the court also subsided, and all the opponents died down. After all, confronting Lu Hengxiu now is tantamount to striking a stone with an egg.

However, the superficial crisis has been lifted, but the hidden waves are brewing little by little.Lu Hengxiu has been concentrating on implementing the New Deal for the past two years, and has gradually loosened his control over the inner court. Now Yingshun is the one who decides in the inner court.

He is used to speculating when he sees the wind, so while Lu Hengxiu is busy with government affairs, he flatters and flatters Ming Jue day and night, wins over the East Palace to provoke relations, and alienates the prince who was originally very close to Lu Hengxiu.However, Lu Hengxiu had no time to take care of it. Although he noticed the prince's alienation, he didn't take timely measures.

This day, Yingshun waited for Ming Jue to wake up from his afternoon nap, and specially brought him a bowl of iced plum soup.

"This is from the imperial concubine. She said it was a new skill she learned from Mrs. Lu, so she specially sent someone to bring it with ice water."

"I don't like these sweet and sour things, take them away." Ming Jue pushed away the bowl of plum soup, got out of bed and put on his shoes.

After waiting for a while for Yingshun to dress him, Ming Jue seemed to be completely awake and reacted, and he asked suspiciously: "Just now, who did you say Lou Guifei learned from?"

"It's Madam Lu."

"Which Lord Lu?" Ming Jue asked, in his impression that there should be no one whose surname is Lu among the adults above the third rank and above whose wives have conferred orders.

"Hahaha~" Yingshun couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered his mouth, "Damn the slave, you're so disrespectful."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"Your Majesty, your question is really funny. Is there any Master Lu in this dynasty? Of course it is Lu Hengxiu, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet." Yingshun replied pretending to be careless.

"Are you fainted, when did he have a wife?" Ming Jue's original joking expression disappeared, replaced by obvious displeasure.

Yingshun seemed to see that the situation was wrong, he lowered his eyebrows and responded cautiously: "I don't know when Mrs. Lu has a wife. I only know that Mrs. Lu often communicates with other imperial wives, and is also forbidden to enter and leave the palace from time to time. The slave still listens It is said that Mrs. Lu was bestowed by the emperor to Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu does not dislike Mrs. Lu's background, and respects Mrs. Lu as a guest, and is very affectionate."

"Ridiculous, when did I ever give him a marriage, these are all rumors and rumors, even you believe it."

"I don't know." Yingshun was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. He explained tremblingly, "I have been in the palace for many years, and I never dared to open my mouth. It is rumored that Mrs. Lu's boudoir name is Hongyu. The butler has great power, inside and out he seems to be the wife of the Lu family. Mr. Lu has never married a wife or concubine for many years, and there is only Hongyu girl by his side, so inside and outside, only Hongyu girl is regarded as Mrs. Lu."

"Bastard, bastard." Ming Jue was furious, kicked Yingshun over, and smashed a lot of porcelain ornaments.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. This servant has made a mistake. This servant is guilty of making a slip of the tongue."

"Spoken words? Everyone knows this Mrs. Lu, but I am like a blind and deaf person. I can't see anything, and I can't hear anything. What do you think I am?"

"The slave is guilty."

"Stop kneeling, tell me this Mrs. Lu, and I'll see it too."

"Yes, this servant is going to deliver the decree." Yingshun scrambled out of the hall.

Ming Jue complied, and left the dormitory furiously.

"What is the emperor's order?" Tianshu hurried over after receiving Ming Jue's order.

"I want you to prepare a pot of poisoned wine, a white silk and a dagger." Ming Jue turned his back to Tianshu, and could not hear anything in his tone.

As the leader of the Shadow Guard Division, Tianshu was already used to such orders, so he prepared without asking.

Half an hour later, Hongyu entered the palace with Yingshun who declared the decree.Lu Hengxiu was not in the mansion, so Hongyu had no choice but to come alone. Before she came, she had already prepared in her heart, and told the servants of the mansion to notify Lu Hengxiu immediately.

"Miss Hongyu go in with the servant, the emperor is waiting for you? Remember to salute after entering." Yingshun reminded, Hongyu nodded to understand, and the two entered the hall.

The main hall was empty, there were no maids and servants serving, only Ming Jue sat in the middle with an unfathomable expression.

A gust of wind blew by, and Hongyu actually felt a bit of coolness in the hot weather of June. She didn't dare to look around, and immediately knelt down to salute.

"Minister Hongyu sees the emperor."

"Raise your head." Ming Jue said darkly.

Hongyu raised her head slowly, her round and slightly blush face was plain but bright and beautiful.Her beautiful eyebrows are lightly frowned, her beautiful eyes are full of affection, but she still wants to talk, looking forward to brilliance.Time has not treated this poor beauty harshly, on the contrary, her good life in recent years has made her breeding land even more beautiful.

"I heard that you are now the head wife of the Lu family, and you are still respected in the palace?"

"Ministers don't dare, Mr. Lu just sees that women take pity on them. The emperor doesn't believe in women. He should trust Mrs. Lu's loyalty to the emperor. Don't listen to villains' slander and jealousy of loyal ministers." Hong Yu He glanced at Yingshun meaningfully, and kowtowed heavily.

Yingshun didn't panic when he saw Hongyu denying that he had joined the army, and just stood silently at the side, acting as if he had nothing to do with him.

As a result, Mingjue did not believe Hongyu. He was so angry at this moment, how could he listen to Hongyu's sloppy and perfunctory explanation.

"In the past, you were just a lowly servant girl sweeping the palace. You survived because of Jane's soft heart. Now you dare to deceive people's hearts by seductive tricks while I'm not paying attention?" He continued to criticize Hongyu who was kneeling.

"Menwomen don't dare." Hongyu responded with her head raised.

"If you really didn't dare, you shouldn't have stayed by his side for so many years. I was negligent and shouldn't have kept you." Ming Jue raised his hand, and a tall man came out from the shadows, holding a tray in his hand. , on which lay the instruments of death.

"You pick one, don't let me do it."

"Heh~" Hongyu sneered, and suddenly overturned the tray with force. "Is the emperor afraid of the daughters of the people?"

"Shut up, how can I be afraid of you, a lowly maid."

"The emperor is afraid. He is afraid that Mr. Lu will open up and tell his wife everything he wants, but he has to be cautious when facing the emperor. But can the emperor blame you? If it weren't for your moodiness that made him tremble, how could he be separated from you so far? , is it true that a lowly servant girl really has great abilities?"

"Shut up~"

"Why don't you dare to listen? You think you treat him with great kindness, but in fact it's just your self-indulgence. If you really love him, how could you just watch him being relegated to a remote place in Southwest Longzhou alone. What were you doing when he was seriously ill, and what were you doing when he was assassinated on the way? Xiao Mingjue, you are a heartless and mediocre gentleman, self-righteous... um..." The dark guard became more and more dissatisfied with Hongyu's words. Like the words, he stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"You..." Ming Jue was so angry that his chest heaved unsteadily, and Hong Yu's words pierced his chest like sharp arrows one after another.Over the years, he did regret that he owed Lu Hengxiu a lot, and he was indeed worried about Lu Hengxiu's alienation and indifference from time to time. Hongyu understood his weakness as if he had seen his heart.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Miss Hongyu must have been frightened before she spoke out. This subordinate has known Mr. Lu for many years, and I can testify that there is no personal relationship between Mr. Lu and Miss Hongyu." Tianshu saw that the situation was getting out of control. , finally pleaded.

"You also know?" Ming Jue turned to look at him with a look of surprise and anger. "I will deal with your problem later, but I will definitely kill her right now.

"You don't need the emperor's people to do it, the daughter of the people will kill it on her own." Hongyu broke free from the restraint, picked up the dagger from the ground and inserted it forcefully into her heart.

With a "plop", Hongyu fell to the ground.Her eyes widened as she looked at the roof of the carved beams and painted buildings, and she saw her heart through her eyes.

"Since your lord has promised me the name of husband and wife, why won't you be with me..." She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning of her self-recommended pillow mat was obvious enough.

"Sorry Ruby."

Those were the days in the southwest. She and Lu Hengxiu pretended to be husband and wife.Every time Hongyu brought up this matter, Lu Hengxiu would only apologize, and when he asked anxiously, he finally only replied, "This body has already promised the country, so I'm sorry to make another promise."From then on, Hongyu knew that Ming Jue was the only one in Lu Hengxiu's heart.

For so many years, Lu Hengxiu has treated her like a guest of honor. In the eyes of others, she enjoys all the splendor, but in fact, only she knows the bitterness.Especially after seeing so many days and nights, Lu Hengxiu was working hard for Ming Jue's country, and she was even more jealous and resentful.

"That's good, I finally put an end to my demons..." Hongyu looked at the roof and said idiotically.

"Your Majesty, Lu Hengxiu begged to see the Emperor." Lu Hengxiu's anxious voice came from outside the door, and soon the door was pushed open, and Lu Hengxiu walked in.

Followed by the two eunuchs guarding the gate, one of them said: "The slave is guilty, I really can't stop Mr. Lu."

There was no need to hide it from Lu Hengxiu after the matter had come to this point, Ming Jue waved his hand to make the two eunuchs retreat.

Before Lu Hengxiu had time to salute and plead guilty, he saw a dagger stuck in Hongyu's chest lying on the ground. He was shocked, staggered over and knelt down on the ground.

"Hongyu, Hongyu~" Lu Hengxiu hugged Hongyu and shouted her name, but unfortunately the dead person could no longer respond.

Hongyu's blood was still warm, and it was on Lu Hengxiu's hands. If he could come earlier, he might be able to stop this tragedy in time.

Caught off guard, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks, Lu Hengxiu choked up and couldn't speak.

Ming Jue watched Lu Hengxiu barge in with a loss of composure, and then saw him yelling like crazy, the anger in his heart became stronger, but he didn't come and panicked for a while.

Calm down and think about it, things happened too fast, he killed Hongyu immediately in his anger, but he didn't have time to think carefully about how to deal with Lu Hengxiu.

"Jane." Ming Jue called out Lu Hengxiu's name.

Lu Hengxiu had been kneeling on the ground for a long while, but when he heard this, he knelt down, straightened up and kowtowed heavily.

"The minister is guilty. The minister and the red jade have offended the emperor and trespassed in the palace. I should be punished. Now the minister resigns from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet to take care of the funeral of his deceased wife."

"What did you say?" Ming Jue's eyes widened in disbelief. He was waiting for Lu Hengxiu to explain to him, or to cover up, but he didn't expect Lu Hengxiu to admit it so openly.This is simply not taking him seriously.

"I said that I would like to resign as the chief assistant of the cabinet and concentrate on taking care of the funeral of my deceased wife at home."

"Okay, okay, I promise you, you go." Ming Jue laughed back angrily, said "OK" three times, and agreed to Lu Hengxiu's "request".

Lu Hengxiu took Hongyu's body and left the palace, feeling ashamed for a moment. There are countless people in this world who are one step too late, endlessly separated from each other, and endlessly sighed at the end of fate!Unexpectedly, even Hongyu died because of him in the end.
