Raise an emperor as a villain

After Lu Hengxiu was dragged away, Su Jia immediately begged to see Ming Jue.Although Ming Jue was impatient, he also wanted to know what happened just now, so he announced him in.

As soon as Su Jia came in, Ming Jue asked, "You also participated in the fight?"

"I have never returned to the emperor." Su Jia answered with bowed head.

"The chamberlain reported that you were involved."

"Your Majesty, the thing is like this. In fact, I discovered Lord Lu's intentions, so I brought all my colleagues to stop it. I didn't expect to come one step too late, but I watched Lord Lu make a big mistake."

"You chose yourself clean."

"I'm just telling the truth. If the emperor has any doubts, he can examine Mr. Lu carefully."

"He treats you well on weekdays, why don't you care about his life or death at all?" Seeing that Su Jia didn't defend Lu Hengxiu at all, Ming Jue complained for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord Lu's life and death are in the hands of the emperor, I dare not speak out."

"You will protect yourself wisely, go down." Ming Jue did not pursue the responsibility of the other ministers. After all, most of the officials who participated in this brawl were the pillars of the court. If they were all sent to prison, who would the government expect to deal with it?

In fact, shirking responsibility was not because of Su Jia's ungratefulness, but because of Lu Hengxiu's instructions before he acted.

Su Jia received the imperial decree and went to release the detained minister, but was immediately surrounded by chatter.

"What's the matter? The emperor doesn't plan to pursue it anymore?"

"Where is Master Lu?"

"Yes, why don't you see Mr. Lu?"

"Lord Lu has been imprisoned in prison."

"Then us?"

Su Jia explained in detail how to justify himself and the officials in the hall, and finally concluded: "Lord Lu kept his word, and he took all the responsibility for the crimes alone, and everyone is fine."

"Lord Su, with all due respect, this is really the behavior of a villain."

"That's right, how can Master Lu bear it by himself?"

……

"Calm down, everyone. This is actually a plan that Mr. Lu has set up a long time ago. Just imagine if we are all imprisoned in the prison, who else will be able to act and contribute? Now that the adults are not implicated, we will find a way to rescue Lu later. It's fine if your lord comes out." Su Jia reassured.In fact, Lu Hengxiu didn't think so much at all. He wanted to die, and he didn't think about what would happen to him after the plan was successful.

"Master Lu is really good at planning, so let's go back first and plan carefully before we act."

The officials disbanded in place, Su Jia observed carefully, but did not find Shen Yi, presumably he had slipped away before the guards caught him.

Su Jia shook his head, turned and left.

Prison

Lu Hengxiu entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He looked fine during the day, but at night he began to cough uncontrollably.Mingjue's kick was not light, and it happened right between the lungs, which aroused the cough he had finally recovered from, it was really hard to bear.

"Stop fucking coughing, why don't you keep people from sleeping?" Someone in a nearby cell yelled.

"Jailor, where's the jailer? Don't you care?"

"What's the fuss, what's the fuss..." The jailer whipped his whip and drove the booing prisoners back to their cells.Then when they came to Lu Hengxiu's cell, he was handed a bowl of water.

"My lord, drink some water." The jailer said in a low voice.

"Thank you." Lu Hengxiu walked over, took two sips of water.When he handed the bowl back, unexpectedly, the jailer stuffed a small brown bottle into his hand.

"This..." Lu Hengxiu looked down at the small bottle in his hand, thinking that someone had sent a drug to kill him, so he hesitated.

"Don't worry, my lord, this is the cough medicine that Mr. Shen entrusted to you."

When the jailer mentioned Master Shen, Lu Hengxiu immediately understood that it was Shen Yi who was acting, and couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart for his quick and flexible mind.

But at this time, there is no need to worry about whether the jailer is lying to himself. If he is lying to himself, then it is also a choice for him to do his own tricks and end himself.

Lu Hengxiu figured it out, and took a pill in front of the jailer.

That night Lu Hengxiu was not poisoned to death, and his coughing symptoms eased a little. Although he still didn't sleep well, at least he didn't cough so much.

After that, the ministers who participated in the operation began to submit memorials one after another, requesting that Lu Hengxiu's punishment be reduced, and many people spontaneously knelt outside Chengqian Palace to intercede.

However, all these actions were ignored by Ming Jue. He was upset when he saw those ministers pleading for Lu Hengxiu, because it reminded him of the words Lu Hengxiu said that day.

A month passed in this way, and Lu Hengxiu's condition worsened after being delayed in the sky prison. He coughed up blood from time to time, but the coughing sound was not as loud as it was at the beginning, which was obviously a manifestation of insufficient Qi.

The reason why he is still struggling not to commit suicide is because on the one hand, he has always had a strong survival instinct, and on the other hand, he knows that there are many people outside who are running around for him to survive.

It was another cold night, and Lu Hengxiu was struggling to survive. He had already started to have a high fever, and his mind was also a little unclear.The jailer came to see him once in the middle of the night, and found that his face was flushed and his breath was weak, so he was so frightened that he immediately found an excuse to go out and inform Shen Yi.

In desperation, Shen Yi had no choice but to go to Su Jia to discuss it, and the two of them came together and asked Luo Wenxi.

Luo Wenxi resigned two years ago, bought a manor outside the capital, chanted poems every day, made friends with elegant scholars, and ignored the affairs of the court and China.If the situation wasn't urgent, Su Jia didn't want to disturb his purity.

When Su Jia and Shen Yi arrived at Luo Wenxi's manor overnight, it was already dusk, and they knocked on Luo Wenxi's door in person, regardless of etiquette.

Luo Wenxi and Lu Hengxiu had known each other for many years, so naturally he would not let it go when he heard the news. Instead of embarrassing Su Jia and the others, he blamed them for not informing him earlier.

After the morning court, Luo Wenxi begged to see Ming Jue.He has been the emperor's teacher for more than ten years, and Ming Jue still respects him from the bottom of his heart, because he was summoned immediately.

"Caomin heard that the emperor put Jian Zhi in prison."

Ming Jue frowned after hearing this, and said displeasedly: "I didn't expect that you also came to intercede for him."

"Caomin didn't come here to intercede, but Caomin got the news that he was going to die, so he dared to ask the emperor if he wanted to see him one last time."

"How is it possible?" He has only been locked up for a month, and if he hasn't been tortured, how could he be about to die.

"I don't know the specific grassroots, but I heard that he coughed up blood every day, and he has been coughing for a month. In the early years, he was shot with an arrow and injured his heart and lung. He spoke, even with an indifferent expression, but it deeply touched the string in Mingjue's heart.

Ming Jue recalled the past events that Luo Wenxi said. At that time, Lu Hengxiu was injured to protect him from the arrows. He almost died on the road in the hot weather. Later, he also suffered from coughing problems. When it was rainy and cold, he would always fall ill.But that day when I got angry and kicked him in the chest, did he vomit blood then?How could I pretend that I didn't see it?

The more Mingjue thought about it, the more he blamed himself, wishing he could fly to Lu Hengxiu's side immediately.

"Come here, prepare the car, I'm going to the prison of the Criminal Ministry."

"Teacher, what should I do? What can I do? Even if I know that I am wrong, what can I do? I am the Son of Heaven and I can't make mistakes. Even if I know that I am wrong, I can only make mistakes. I never have any extra choices. Everything is nothing more than knocking out teeth and swallowing blood.

In short, he is too irritating, I don't know what he is thinking, every time he intends to provoke me, I can't control myself. "

"Your majesty, don't worry. Lord Su Jia has already notified the imperial doctor. He has personally invited the dean Huang Qizheng. The emperor will definitely be in time." Luo Wenxi comforted him in the car as he drove with him.

"I hope so, I hope so."
