Raise an emperor as a villain

Chapter 16 The Wind of Qingping

Lu Hengxiu became the chief manager of the palace, and the burden on him suddenly became a lot heavier.When Mingjue first arrived in Qizhou, everything in the palace was not complete, so he had to come and buy everything.He has so many affairs that he doesn't have time to take care of Ming Jue's daily life as meticulously as before.So Xiao Shunzi was transferred to serve Ming Jue.

On the one hand, Xiao Shunzi was the one saved by Ming Jue, so he was trustworthy; on the other hand, he was very meticulous in taking care of Lu Hengxiu's self-cultivation.Although a bit timid and cowardly, a servant who serves his master doesn't need much courage. Besides, Xiao Shunzi is about the same age as Ming Jue, so he is a good choice.

As for Ming Jue, although he is not used to being served by another person, he also knows that Lu Hengxiu is already very tired, and he should not add to his burden.So he didn't express any opinion.

Although Lu Hengxiu was busy, he still set aside an hour every night to teach Ming Jue, so Lu Hengxiu couldn't sleep for three hours a day.

Today he discussed with Tianshu about recruiting guards from Qizhou.

"Although the Shadow Guard has done a good job of guarding, it's too overkill."

Lu Hengxiu's words spoke to Tianshu's heart. He used to be the commander of the royal shadow guards, the messenger of death who seduces souls and kills in the dark night, but now he is doing this job of guarding the house.

"According to Manager Lu, are you going to recruit people here?"

"I do have that intention. The people of Qizhou are fierce and tough, and Hu and Han live together. If you want to find brave guards, it won't be too difficult."

"That's right. In my opinion, it's better to recruit some barbarians. As long as you lure them with a lot of money, there might be no one who will serve you loyally." Tianshu said and smiled at Lu Hengxiu. The two of them worked together recently and found that often There will be times like today's tacit understanding.

"Then I will leave it to Lord Tianshu. I still have something to deal with in the accounting room, so I will go there first." Lu Hengxiu stood up as he spoke, but felt dizzy for a while, and fell down when his eyes were dark.

"Director Lu!" Seeing Lu Hengxiu fell down, Tianshu quickly supported him, but finally he didn't let him fall to the ground.

In fact, Lu Hengxiu was only caused by exhaustion, he only became dizzy for a moment before waking up.He realized that he had fallen into Tianshu's arms, and hurriedly got up in embarrassment.

"Director Lu, are you alright?" Tianshu couldn't help asking concerned when he saw that Lu Hengxiu's face was not looking good.

"It's okay, but I'm a little tired." Lu Hengxiu rubbed his temples, feeling the dizziness gradually faded away.

"Let me just say one more thing, you are too tired. All the trivial matters of the palace are now in your hands, and you still find time to teach His Highness every day. In my opinion, it is better to invite a Mr. Xixi to ask His Highness to study, and you are fine." Take it easy." Tianshu's words were extremely long, he was usually taciturn, but he seldom cared about others.In fact, since he followed Ming Jue, his temperament has become much clearer, and he also admires him when he works with Lu Hengxiu, so I just say a few more words.

"Thank you for your concern, but Your Highness is still teaching His Majesty's martial arts in person, so how dare someone Lu dare to slack off. Besides, if you hire an ordinary teacher who doesn't know the basics, I'm afraid you can't teach His Highness well. If you change your mind, it's not good. .” Lu Hengxiu laughed.

Tianshu immediately reacted and understood Lu Hengxiu's thoughts.Ordinary teachers just read some Four Books and Five Classics all day long, and their minds are full of thoughts of teaching people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. If they teach well, they can only make people make achievements in scientific examinations.But Ming Jue's status, these are of course unnecessary, what he should really learn is the emperor's mind, which cannot be taught by ordinary teachers.

Now that he understands it, he can't help admiring Lu Hengxiu's thoughtfulness.In fact, although he taught Mingjue martial arts, he didn't teach it every day.Ming Jue has no kung fu background, so naturally he doesn't have much use for a top master like him, and ordinary hidden guards are also fully capable of teaching martial arts.It's just that Ming Jue has a noble status, he dare not be so negligent, but most of the time it is Li Yimo who does it.

"Let's not talk about it, if there is good luck, I will have to find another high teacher for His Highness."

On the other side, Chen Ding, the magistrate of Qizhou, handed over a post saying that he was going to hold a flower viewing banquet to invite His Royal Highness King Su to the banquet.This Mr. Chen is from the south of the Yangtze River, and his ancestral home is Hangzhou, a paradise on earth.He passed the Jinshi examination with all due respect, but was kicked out of the capital because he was too honest, and sent to this desolate place in the north.The hot-blooded scholar who used to be polished by the world has now turned into a smooth old fritters. He knows that he doesn't know how long he will stay in Qizhou, where birds don't lay eggs, so he naturally doesn't want to offend the local vassal.

It was said to be a flower viewing feast, but it was only set up to win over Ming Jue, and it probably had a hint of bottoming out.

Qizhou has always had a fierce folk style, valuing martial arts and despising literature, and many scholars who are not educated are not valued very much. Now they are all happy to receive the invitation to the flower appreciation feast from the Zhizhou adults.Although this Qizhou is not well-developed in culture, there is a well-known hermit.This hermit is a real hermit, he is not someone who seeks fame, otherwise he would not have come to live in seclusion in such a remote place as Qizhou, but went to Zhongnan Mountain.This person is honored as Mr. Wen Jing, and it is Luo Wenxi who is now a guest at the Zhizhou home in Qizhou.

Mr. Chen of Zhizhou, although he is a bit more worldly and tactful nowadays, he is indeed extremely talented, and he also respects those who are talented and educated.However, Mr. Luo Wenxi has quite a friendship with Zhizhou regardless of the eyes of the world.

On this day, Lord Chen and Luo Wenxi were playing chess in the mansion.Luo Wenxi had just dropped a child, Master Chen pinched the sunspot in his hand and thought hard about how to deal with it.

"Bingwen, if your heart is not here, you can't play this chess." Luo Wenxi said with a wave of his sleeves, disrupting the chess game.

Chen Ding sighed and put down the chess piece in his hand.Start sorting the black and white chess pieces that are mixed together and put them in the chess box separately.

"You probably don't know yet. This Qizhou just came here and thought he was a prince. I heard that he was the prince of Emperor Ying of the Ming Dynasty. Now he has been abolished by the current emperor and named King Su." Chen Ding said with a wry smile. He frowned slightly. A bit of youthful demeanor.

"I don't know, you sent someone a post the day before yesterday. You said that His Royal Highness Su Wang would not hesitate to move, come to the banquet, and have fun with the state middle school students." Luo Wenxi smiled, obviously knowing what Chen Ding was troubled by. .

"It turns out that you know everything, and you can't hide anything from you."

"What are you afraid of? Master Chen, you still can't see the situation in the court? The Holy Majesty clearly drove him out of Beijing. He came here, but it was barely better than being assigned." Luo Wenxi has been since Ming Jue and his party arrived in Qi Zhou Shi has been paying attention to them, and with his intelligence, he has long seen that Su Wang's mansion is just an empty shelf.As for the fabled favor of the Holy Grace, it is not even mentioned at all, but it is just a false favor of the royal family.

"Ling'an, I don't know about this. It's just that since he was able to reach the fief safely from the capital, it shows that he is not someone who is waiting for nothing. Or there are forces hidden behind us that we haven't even noticed."

As soon as this remark came out, Luo Wenxi's face also showed a solemn look. "Bingwen, you also know that the current position is obtained by usurping the throne. The British emperor is still struggling in Mongolia!" He lowered his voice and said in Chen Ding's ear.But it was as if a thunder had exploded in Chen Ding's ear.

"Ling'an, do you dare to say such a thing?" Chen Ding was in a cold sweat. He looked around vigilantly for a while, and felt relieved when he saw no one.

"Why don't you dare, don't you hear 'the sky is high and the emperor is far away'? In my opinion, you are too cautious, Bingwen." Luo Wenxi didn't care about his being too cautious.

"What do you mean by what you said just now?" Chen Ding was shocked and asked again.

"In my opinion, if you rely on this King Su alone, you will never be able to regain the throne, but..." Luo Wenxi hesitated to speak, and he didn't know how to explain it to his old friend in front of him.He stayed in Qizhou all these years, but he never ignored the news about Mongolia.Now he heard that the old Khan of Mongolia was about to die. If the old Khan died, the Khan would definitely fall into the hands of the second prince who was the most powerful and favored by the old Khan.And this second prince is an out-and-out pro-Han faction.At that time, the late Emperor Yingzong might be sent back to the country. If that day really happened, what kind of bloody storm will be set off in this court?

And King Su will be involved in this battle no matter what, even if the British Emperor cannot return to the country, there will be people who support King Su, but in that case, the chance of King Su's success is very small, after all, he is still too young up.

"Just what?" Chen Dingqing stepped forward and asked, but after a while, he still didn't get an answer from Luo Wenxi, and he sat back disappointed. "Ling'an, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me when I say it. Ever since I was sent to prison because of that incident, I have been very timid. Now my only wish is to spend my life in this remote Qizhou. I have exhausted my former teachers and friends."

"Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with me on the left and right. I will be included in the flower viewing feast." He explained to his friend, and then drank the tea in his hand.

Seeing Luo Wenxi's calm and calm appearance, Chen Ding somehow settled down inexplicably.When he was sent to prison and thought he was going to die, this man rescued him with a relaxed face, and even let him get an official position as the magistrate of Qizhou.Although he still doesn't know what Luo Wenxi did back then, he has always trusted him in his heart.Even this person said nothing happened, maybe nothing will happen!

"Forget it, play chess and chess." Chen Ding said with a wave of his hand, and he secretly scolded himself for being worthless.A lot of age has been in the officialdom for so long, and he panics like this when he encounters such a small disturbance. Is it because he has lived too comfortably recently?

In fact, neither of the two people here knows what amazingly keen intuition they have.The wind started at the end of Qingping, and some people were able to infer the development trajectory of the future historical trend from some minor details.And people who have this ability are unaware of it.
