Raise an emperor as a villain

Ying Shisan accompanied Lu Hengxiu quietly out of the palace through the side door, and walked to the bustling streets of the capital.Lu Hengxiu wandered around for a long time, and he couldn't help but admire the prosperity of the capital as the imperial capital of the Xiao Ming Dynasty.Even though the three-year war with Mongolia had just ended on the border, and even though the top echelons of imperial power were facing unprecedented upheavals, the civilians at the feet of the emperor still enjoyed their prosperity as always.

What a scene of prosperity!No wonder everyone is risking their lives to fight.

"Master Lu, it's already noon, do you want to find a place to eat?" Ying Shisan asked.After walking for half a day, they were already quite a distance away from the palace.And he was young and strong, and he was hungry quickly, and his stomach was also rumbling at the moment.

Lu Hengxiu himself was not hungry, but he was a little tired, so he thought it would be good to find a place to rest.So he looked back at Ying Shisan, nodded and agreed: "Then go to the restaurant in front! By the way, do you have any money?" He himself did not bring any money, and if Ying Shisan did not , the two of them had to be hungry.

"Bring it." Ying Shisan hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's go!" Lu Hengxiu said as he walked towards the magnificent restaurant.Now it was lunch time, the entrance of the restaurant was bustling with traffic, and it seemed that all the dignitaries and dignitaries in gorgeous clothes came and went.

There was a plaque with three big characters hanging at the entrance of the restaurant, on which was written three big characters "Hui Jin Lou" in vermilion lacquer and gilt gold.Lu Hengxiu stepped in, thinking that if he had a meal here, it would take an ordinary person's time.

The lobby of the restaurant was full of people, but they were all whispering to each other, looking at the other people around with a wary look, but they didn't seem to be interested in the delicious food on the table.

Lu Hengxiu was wondering, Ying Shisan said, "It's too messy here, young master, let's find a clean place!"

Lu Hengxiu was thinking, so he nodded absent-mindedly.

Seeing this, Ying Shisan shouted, "Xiao Er, do you have a good private room here? Lead us there."

"Okay, please come upstairs, two guest officers." Xiao Er enthusiastically stepped forward to lead the way.

When we reached the second floor, it was really much cleaner. There was no one in the corridor, and it was so quiet that we could even hear people's footsteps.

"The sound insulation here is good." Lu Hengxiu praised, and Xiao Erzhi accepted it with satisfaction.

"It's here," Xiao Er stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, letting the two of them in.Lu Hengxiu went in and sat down first, while Ying Shisan still stood behind him as usual.

"You don't have to be polite, sit down!" Lu Hengxiu said.

"Whatever delicious food you have here, bring it up!" Ying Shisan said proudly.This time he was ordered to protect Lu Hengxiu's safety, it was really a good job, the prince attached great importance to Mr. Lu, and gave him money and so on.

"Well," Xiao Er hesitated for a moment and said, "Guest officer, let's take a look at our menu prices first!" Then he took out a folded list from his sleeve.

Lu Hengxiu took it over and took a look, and couldn't help being surprised.That was a sky-high price, even Lu Hengxiu, who had seen a lot of the world, thought it was too expensive.

Seeing Lu Hengxiu, who has always been calm, Ying Shisan was very puzzled, so Lu Hengxiu stretched out his hand and showed him the list.

"Are you selling food or gold? Why is it so expensive?" Ying Shisan shouted, this meal was worth his annual salary.

"I can't afford it, why are you here? Why are you pretending to be a master." Xiaoer rolled his eyes with his hands in his hands and said.

"You..." Ying Shisan was full of blood and a warrior, so he couldn't be more angry.

Lu Hengxiu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he asked Ying Shisan to give Xiao Er a silver note of one hundred taels, without saying what kind of food he wanted.

Xiao Er took the money, and his expression softened just now, but maybe after a lot of tossing just now, he saw clearly that the two people in front of him were not big spenders, so they were not as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning.

Lu Hengxiu didn't care at all, and just asked: "Second Brother, we just arrived in the capital today, and we don't know what strange rules the Son of Heaven has. Please tell me, Second Brother."

Hearing what Lu Hengxiu said, Xiaoer became even more arrogant, and said in a low voice: "You bumpkin, you have a lot of vision, and you just came here and bumped into this expensive place."But for the sake of the banknote in his hand, he still reluctantly said: "Open the window and see, whose mansion is opposite?"

Lu Hengxiu didn't understand what he said, and motioned for Ying Shisan to open the window, and looked around by himself.After seeing the house on the opposite side, I suddenly realized.On the opposite side is a magnificent mansion with "Duan's Mansion" written on the door, isn't it the mansion of Duan Wenzheng, the chief assistant of the dynasty?

Having figured out this joint, Lu Hengxiu recalled the news about the current situation in the capital that Li Yimo had reported to him.Duan Wenzheng, the elder of the three dynasties, after Emperor Rui fell ill, he claimed to be out of illness from time to time, which caused Prince Qing a lot of trouble.

Recently, after Ming Jue entered the capital, Duan Wenzheng locked the gate even more, not only did he not go to court, even the outsiders disappeared.At this time, every movement in Duan's mansion was watched by the whole court, no wonder this restaurant was so popular.

Seeing Lu Hengxiu's sense of humor, the little girl said again: "In the past, people who came and went here were officials from other provinces and scholars who wanted to make friends with dignitaries, but recently there have been a lot of more distinguished dignitaries here." Later, Xiaoer lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who is next door? It's His Royal Highness Prince Qing. Who is King Qing? The ruling prince of the dynasty, Ma Shan, is going to be the crown prince and heir to the throne. "

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he had a smug expression on his face, as if he was honored.

"So that's how it is. Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books. I have been educated." After hearing this, Lu Hengxiu bowed his hands to Xiao Er, showing great respect.Although that Xiao Er bullied others, he was never respected by scholars. Lu Hengxiu's kindness made him very happy.

"What do you want to eat? I decide to serve it for you." Xiaoer patted his chest and said.

Lu Hengxiu stood up when he heard the words, and declined, "No need, we'll leave now. The 100 taels should be regarded as the teaching resources of the second brother!"

Xiao Er had seen too many people in the camp, but had never seen someone like Lu Hengxiu. Although he was puzzled, he still took them away.

After going out, when he walked to the door of the next room, Lu Hengxiu turned sideways and pushed the door of the room open.Originally, one of the people inside was holding a telescope and observing the Duan Mansion attentively, while the rest were drinking and eating in the room.

Lu Hengxiu suddenly pushed the door open, and they all drew out their knives, shouting, "Who is it?" The atmosphere was tense for a while.

Xiaoer didn't expect Lu Hengxiu to make such an outburst, and thought: I'm really going to be killed by you.Hastily stepped forward to explain the apology: "I'm sorry, my servants, this man is a lunatic, and I disturbed the adults."

Before Xiao Er finished speaking, he was kicked out by a person who came out from inside.

"It's not for you to speak here, who he is, we will judge for ourselves." As he spoke, he stepped forward and looked at Lu Hengxiu.

Ying Shisan tried his best to restrain himself, so he didn't immediately draw out his sword to confront the people inside.

"Under Lu Jianzhi, I'm a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for an exam. I don't know the Six Departments and Thirteen Divisions. Where are you working?" Lu Hengxiu said while gesturing to Ying Shisan to leave.

Although Ying Shisan was worried when he saw this, he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know the stranger who was watching the fun and passed by.

The man heard the sarcasm in Lu Hengxiu's words, and his face became even more displeased. He was about to get angry but was held back by his companion.

With a cold face, the man waved his head to signal him to go in and talk.So the displeased person didn't want to say any more, and pulled Lu Hengxiu in, and then closed the door.

Ying Thirteen's vision was blocked by the locked door, and he was even more anxious and burning in his heart.The prince trusts himself, so he entrusts Mr. Lu's safety to himself to protect, but now that Mr. Lu is taken away by King Qing's people, how can he explain it?

Although Ying Shisan was in a hurry, he didn't dare to rush in directly to save people.It was obvious that Mr. Lu took the initiative to provoke him just now, and it is unknown if there is any plan before he is notified.

After Lu Hengxiu went in, he was immediately surrounded by the people inside.But he didn't show any panic at all, and his calm demeanor was even more alarming.

"Who the hell are you?" asked the cold-faced young man who seemed to be the leader.

"I have already mentioned my identity before, and the result is the same if you ask again. But the important thing is that I came to help His Royal Highness King Qing."

"You said you came to help His Highness? How do you help? Why do you help?"

"The next scholar is indeed powerless, relying on nothing more than a sharp mouth. But in the past, Tang Jukou retreated from the King of Qin, just like returning to Zhao, a sharp mouth may not be invincible to tens of thousands of soldiers." Lu Hengxiu Full of confidence.Just a short moment ago, he had a good plan in his chest.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you only use your tongue?" The cold-faced young man asked threateningly.

"I will naturally know."

"Then tell me, what can you do to help His Highness!" the young man sat down on the chair and asked relaxedly.

Lu Hengxiu bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you are not qualified yet, so let me explain in detail."

"You..." Someone behind got angry again, but was stopped by the youth leader.

"Okay, then I'll take you to see the prince, but if you don't have a good plan, don't blame me for sending you to Huangquan Road."

After hearing his threats, Lu Hengxiu was not afraid, and just bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
