Raise an emperor as a villain

It is now the end of October and the weather is very cold.A layer of fallen leaves fell on the wide avenue outside the city, but the trees were already bare.

The majestic city has appeared in the field of vision, with red walls and black tiles, brackets and cornices, shining brightly in the autumn sky.The guards in front of the city gate stopped passers-by, yelling for routine checks.

An inconspicuous carriage came slowly from the official road, a direct and distinct hand opened the curtain of the carriage, and then a middle-aged scribe in a blue shirt stretched out half of his body.

I saw the scribe staring at the majestic city gate obsessively, chanting in his mouth: "Zimo Hongchen is blowing in the face, and everyone will look at the flowers."There are thousands of peach trees in Xuandu Temple, all of which were planted by Liu Lang after he left.

This scribe was none other than Luo Wenxi who had been rushed back to the capital by the order of the new emperor.

The groom driving the carriage didn't understand the meaning, so he asked, "Sir, how can there be peach blossoms in this season! Your poem is not suitable for the occasion."

Luo Wenxi didn't speak, put down the curtain and returned to the car.

This time he really came here alone, even the carriage was found on the road.Luo Wenxi felt a little melancholy when he thought of the situation when he left.

When Mingjue's imperial decree was passed to Qizhou, Luo Wenxi was playing chess with Chen Ding.Hearing the news of Ming Jue's success, the two wept with joy, but they couldn't even speak while embracing each other.

But when he was happy, it was time to think about the problem in front of him: Ming Jue wanted to call Luo Wenxi back to Beijing.Chen Ding naturally had 1 unwilling people in his heart. Luo Wenxi could go back to Beijing, but he couldn't, and he didn't want to.

So many years of friends quarreled over this. Chen Ding, who was always gentle, scolded Luo Wenxi for the first time, "I don't know how to repent, and only care about power."

Luo Wenxi did not regress either, Mingjue was the master he was waiting for, from Emperor Ying to Emperor Rui, to finally supporting Mingjue to establish his foundation, he had been waiting for almost 20 years.

"Chen Bingwen, since you are not willing to fulfill my wish, why do you want to keep me?" Luo Wenxi spoke indiscriminately, telling the whole truth that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years, and he regretted it very much after saying it.

Chen Ding was stunned for a while, before saying to Luo Wenxi: "Ling'an, let's go!"

So Luo Wenxi left, he hadn't reached the age of forty, and in this peaceful and prosperous world in the future, he was still waiting for his contribution.In the history books of later generations, he must add a rich and colorful stroke.

Luo Wenxi returned to Beijing alone, naturally he didn't want to disturb other people. Although he had a house in this capital, it was in disrepair for a long time, so he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Su Wang's mansion.

"My God, sir is from the palace. Let me tell you that I heard that Prince Su has succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, just a few days ago." The driver opened his mouth wide.

Luo Wenxi ignored his words, sent him away after paying the rest of the money, and then went forward to knock on the door himself.

The boy at the porter opened the door, and Luo Wenxi took out the imperial edict he had received from his arms, and the boy quickly and courteously let him in, and even carried his luggage for him.

"Sir, please come with me, Mr. Lu has already ordered, if Mr. comes, please go to see him immediately." Another boy said.

Luo Wenxi nodded and followed his footsteps.The boy led him through mountains and rivers, through winding corridors, and finally walked into a courtyard full of red maples.

"Young Master Lu lives inside, sir, please come in." The young man pointed the way for Luo Wenxi, and then retreated by himself.

Luo Wenxi felt a little strange, but thinking that Lu Hengxiu always liked quietness, he understood, so he walked in.

Against the background of the fiery red maple leaves on the tree, Lu Hengxiu was dressed in plain clothes, pinching a roll of "The Doctrine of the Mean" bound in blue leather thread with his slender fingers, and was pacing back and forth, reciting.

When Luo Wenxi saw this, he almost never shed tears. He had heard about the hardships in Lu Hengxiu's business, and now that his old friend was well, he couldn't help feeling very emotional.

"Jane is easy to work hard." Luo Wenxi said, disturbing Lu Hengxiu who was working hard.

Lu Hengxiu suddenly heard Luo Wenxi's voice, turned around and saw that it was his old friend standing in front of his door, couldn't help being overjoyed, immediately threw the book in his hand on the stone bench beside him, and greeted him happily.

"Mr. Luo, it's really you." Lu Hengxiu stepped forward and pulled Luo Wenxi back, and said enthusiastically.At the beginning, when the horse swung the whip, don't think it was a farewell, but I didn't expect that there would be a chance to meet again now.

"Is it me or who? Jane, is your illness cured?" Luo Wenxi asked with concern.

"Even my husband knows about such a trivial matter. It's not a big problem at all. It's already gone now."

"That's good." Luo Wenxi nodded reassuringly.

Lu Hengxiu invited him into the room, and made him a cup of tea himself, before he sat down beside him.

"I saw you watching "The Doctrine of the Mean" when I came in just now, do you want to fail the imperial examination?" Luo Wenxi asked. "The Doctrine of the Mean" is one of the four books, a bibliography that must be taken in the imperial examination. Lu Hengxiu looked at it so seriously that people had to make this association.

"That's right!" Lu Hengxiu admitted straight away, and said, "Without fame, it's unfair to be promoted from an aide to an official."

"That's right, with your talent and wisdom, if you don't serve as the head of the cabinet, your life will be wasted." Luo Wenxi agreed.

"Mr. Luo praised me absurdly, how can I be so powerful." Lu Hengxiu lowered his eyes and said, with a faint sadness in his expression.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Luo Wenxi asked.He was also the first to know about the relationship between Ming Jue and Lu Hengxiu.

"I don't know, maybe the emperor wants to keep me in the palace to serve, but I..." Lu Hengxiu didn't finish, Ming Jue wanted to see him all the time, but he didn't want to take an insignificant job , to be Ming Jue's pamper and sycophant.

"You have a good idea. If the emperor has a different idea, I will speak for you." Luo Wenxi said after a moment of thought.Mingjue is still too young to think about the long-term future, but he can't watch a character like Lu Hengxiu, who is so majestic and phoenix, fall down because of Mingjue's youthful impulse.

Lu Hengxiu lost his father since he was a child and had no one to rely on. Suddenly, someone valued him so much and took great pains to enlighten him.

"Lu Hengxiu thanked you first, sir." Lu Hengxiu was about to salute, but was supported by Luo Wenxi.

"What is this? Do we still use this between us?" Luo Wenxi scolded, and pushed Lu Hengxiu onto the chair.

"Mr. is like a teacher to me, like a brother. Lu Hengxiu dare not or forget the kindness of Mr. in this life." Lu Hengxiu said excitedly.

Luo Wenxi sighed, at first he didn't expect that the topic would be so deep when he first met.

"As a minister, I shouldn't talk about the monarch behind his back, but there are only you and me in front of me, so I don't shy away from anything. In short, the emperor has experienced the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child, and the most cold-hearted and cruel Isolate. If someone blocks his way, no matter if it is a brother or a blood relative, he will not hesitate to cut it off." Luo Wenxi stood up as he spoke, with an extremely complicated expression.

"However, I have taught the emperor for ten years, and I also know that he is the most genuine person. If there is anything he is reluctant to give up, it is probably only you, Jane, who is the last soft spot in his heart."

"I understand what Mr. said." Lu Hengxiu's eyes were reddened by Luo Wenxi's words, and he choked up, "But the love between men in the world is like flowers in the moon in the mirror, no matter how beautiful it is, it is nothing more than an illusion. Your Majesty Well, the emperor will definitely have heirs in the future, so what will I be able to do at that time. Thinking back then, I dared to go beyond, but it was because of the precarious situation at that time, thinking about the short life and joy in time. Until now, I don’t know what I am Is it right or wrong?"

Lu Hengxiu's words can be said to have revealed all the words from the bottom of his heart.After hearing this, Luo Wenxi thought that Lu Hengxiu had always been cautious and cautious, but now he trusted himself so much and asked his own opinion on all these secret matters, which added a bit of unfaithfulness to him.

So Luo Wenxi said: "Then Jianzhi regretted it? Or did she not dare to accompany the emperor?"

Upon hearing the words, Lu Hengxiu quickly replied: "This is absolutely nothing. I have never regretted what I have done in my life."

"That's it. Since you don't regret it, then why should you be afraid of the future." Luo Wenxi smiled. Lu Hengxiu got what he couldn't ask for, and he was so entangled in every possible way, which is really abominable.Thinking of Luo Wenxi like this, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he stretched his waist and said, "My old bones are tired from the long journey, please trouble me to find a place to rest for me, I can't wait to see you in the palace at night."
