Raising wolves

In the middle of July, on the grounds that he went to the south to sacrifice his mother, Jin Chan escaped to Jiangyou and came to Jiangyou with a lot of money. Finally, under the expectation of an official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he set off early to return to Beijing.

The officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were relieved for a long time, and they were deeply moved—they finally sent away the evil **** His Majesty.

The carriage was ready early in the morning, and the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard accompanied him, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry to return to Beijing quickly, and the carriage was not in a hurry along the way.

The reason for this is known only by the Commander Zheng and Chief General Changshun who are beside His Majesty.

The car drove all the way to the north, and in mid-August, the cicadas continued to cry, and the convoy finally rushed back to Yanjing.

The officials headed by Wei Herong had been waiting outside the city of Yanjing for a long time. When Ning Ruan appeared, no matter what their mood was, they all knelt down and shouted long live.

He clearly knew that his control had fallen into the hands of people, and that the little emperor was not a good person. The expression of Wei Shoufu still did not show any sense of panic. He glanced at the young emperor who was with him and his face was covered with silver, revealing an unpredictable expression. Laughing: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, I am very relieved that Your Majesty can return safely."

Ning Juan doesn't need to pretend to be submissive in front of Wei Herong, and his voice is light: "The first assistant shares my worries, and it's hard to work on state affairs. I heard that you just fell ill a few days ago. Since I'm back, you don't need to do that. as hard work.”

Wei Herong naturally understood the double meaning of these words, raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the dozen carriages behind him, and saw Pan Jingmin and others.

As a prisoner, naturally, they will not be treated well. The prison car is driving all the way, and the wind is blowing and the sun is blowing. The scorching sun has tanned the group of dog officers who used to be high above into dry dog's tail grass, and each one's eyes are dull and numb.

Pan Jingmin boiled oil under the scorching sun, and his fat body lost a few laps.

Hearing the voice, Pan Jingmin turned his head stiffly and saw Wei Herong. After a moment of stunnedness, a huge joy burst out in his eyes. He tried his best to open his mouth and shouted "Head of Wei, help me."

But because his throat was so dry and smoking, blood oozes from his throat, and his voice was so hoarse that only he could hear it.

Wei Herong's eyes were cold and thin, he looked away, and extended his hand in a salute: "Your Majesty, please go first."

As soon as he arrived in the capital, Ning Juan returned to the palace first, and there were a lot of other affairs waiting for him.

Lu Qing, who was still ill, brought Chen Xiaodao and Lin Xi with him and returned to the Lu residence after a long absence in a low-key manner.

Those who were brought back to Beijing together, in addition to the Jiangyou governor Pan Jingmin, who was about to be sent to the Dali Temple Prison and accepted the tribunal's tribunal, Zhao Zhengde, the prefect of Ji'an, the Jiangyou general soldier, and so on, there were also dozens of carloads of mighty people. Gold and silver jewelry, jade carvings, calligraphy and paintings, all together add up to millions of taels.

Most of these things filled the long-empty treasury, and the smile on Shangshu's face never stopped.

A small number of Ning Juan stayed. In the midst of their busy schedules that night, they took the time to select a dozen items and sent them all to the Lu Mansion.

Lu Qing had just come out of the bath when the reward in the harem palace arrived.

Ning Juan picked all the things that conformed to Lu Qingze's aesthetic, Yunjin Shujin, Yuhuan Ruyi, Qingtian stone, famous calligraphy and paintings, a bunch of rewards, but Lu Qing was inexplicably rewarded: "Your Majesty has made a fortune, I can still touch it. Dip?"

...you dare say so.

Changshun took out a small handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "Your Majesty said that Lord Lu has made great contributions to the flood control case and assisting Jiangyou's reconstruction.

Ning Tien didn't favor one over the other, and made the eccentricity too obvious.

In addition to Lu Qingze, others also received rewards, such as Xu Shu who was brought back from Jiangyou.

Xu Shu cured Jiangyou's epidemic and saved tens of thousands of victims. No one would disagree even if he was directly appointed as an envoy of the Imperial College for such great merits.

But Xu Shu didn't want to be an official, so Ning Juan rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold, along with a four-entry mansion in the east of the city, and the four characters "Hanging the pot to help the world" written by him.

When he first arrived in the capital, Xu Shu, who went by the pseudonym Xu Yuan, went to the capital. The next day, many dignitaries came to visit in person, begging the divine doctor Xu to cure the disease.

After Xu Shu's medicine was cured, he even solved the old problems of several nobles that had not been cured for many years in a few days.

Although he has a weird personality and doesn't know the rules of etiquette, since he is a genius doctor who can save lives, who would think he has a bad temper.

Although Lu Qing stayed at home, he heard all the news from all directions, and all the news from the capital was not missed, and he brought it all back to Chen Xiaodao.

Coming back after a month-long carriage ride, no matter how comfortable it was in the carriage, all the bones in his body seemed to be out of place, and the pain was deep in his bones. The broken-like feeling slowly subsided, and the spirit recovered a little.

When he woke up in the afternoon, Lu Qing rubbed his eyes dimly, and when he heard a sound outside, he floated down like a wandering soul, and found that Chen Xiaodao and Lin Xi were pulling and pulling in the yard.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Xiaodao let go of Lin Xi and turned his head: "Young master is awake? It's so hot, would you like something to drink?"

Lu Qing shook his head, pressed his swollen temple, and felt that if he fell asleep again, he would be useless: "Is there any new news outside?"

Chen Xiaodao's greatest pleasure is to go out for a walk every day, find someone to chat with, and get excited when he hears the question: "Young master wants to ask about the 'over there', I haven't yet, I heard that Pan Jingmin is in prison again Suddenly, he changed his confession, killed Wei Herong and refused to recognize Wei Herong. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple disagreed.

Lu Qing frowned: "Where is Xu Shu?"

Chen Xiaodao shook his head: "I didn't see anyone sent by the Weifu."

Lu Qing said indifferently: "Secretary Wei is very calm."

Wei Herong's only son, Wei Qiao, was born with an incurable disease. In order to protect this frail and sickly child, Wei Herong even cruelly sent his youngest son back to his deceased wife's hometown. Wei Qiao's illusion.

However, before the Dragon Boat Festival, Wei Qiao was probably not very good, and Wei Herong secretly had Wei Qiao brought back to the capital to find a famous doctor in the capital for diagnosis and treatment.

Obviously, Wei Herong didn't want to give up saving Wei Qiao's life, but in the face of Xu Shu's temptation, he could continue to remain calm and watch from the sidelines.

Although Xu Shu used the pseudonym Xu Yuan, his relationship with the Liang family and Ning Juan was wiped out, and no one knew about it, but they brought him back from Jiangyou, so Wei Herong must be very vigilant.

Unless Wei Qiao falls ill again and is in danger, Wei Herong should choose to observe for a while, but delaying it for too long is not a good thing. The longer it is, the more things Wei Herong can find out.

I have to go to the palace to discuss with Ning Juan.

Lu Qing leaned against the railing lazily, making up his mind, looking up, Chen Xiaodao was pulling Lin Xi enthusiastically again.

The former looked enthusiastic: "Lin Xi, you fought back and forth with Lord Zheng that day, and it was too powerful. Can you teach me two tricks!"

The latter looked terrified and shrank back again and again, wishing to shrink into a dark corner and turn into a little mushroom that no one cared about.

Chen Xiaodao has been on the human relationship network for more than ten years. It was the first time that he met Lin Xi, who was not steamed or cooked. He traveled from Jiangyou to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then returned to Beijing from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was almost a month before and after, but he was still with Lin Xi. Can't talk!

Not to mention unfamiliar, when Lin Xi really couldn't escape, he slowly closed himself, closed his eyes and let his brain empty.

Chen Xiaodao, who encountered the waterloo of life, became more and more courageous, and tried to talk to Lin Xi every day.

Two social fears.

Lu Qing touched his chin, but Chen Xiaodao was a social terrorist, and Lin Xi was a social terrorist.

However, when Lin Xi first came to the capital, he was unfamiliar with life and had no sense of security. Although Chen Xiaodao nagged a little, he was sincere and kind. The two pushed and pulled together.

Chen Xiaodao tentatively guessed and guessed all wrong.

Lin Xi angrily pulled him to squat down, and while writing on the ground, he silently gestured sign language and taught Chen Xiaodao to recognize sign language.

Lu Qing watched the whole process with great interest, and laughed sullenly.

Being led by Chen Xiaodao, Lin Xi has never been autistic before, making these two children noisy, and the family is more lively.

Maybe Lin Xi can speak again before Duke Wu returns to Beijing?

Lu Qing stood up, went into the room and changed his clothes by himself. When he came out again, he held a mask in his hand: "I'll go into the palace, and the knife doesn't need to be sent to me. Let's play with Lin Xi."

Chen Xiaodao: "Ah? Who sent you?"

Lu Qing said, "You five."

Several guards in Lu's house were carefully selected by Ning Wan, and they would not come out to disturb Lu Qingze, and they were especially quick in cleaning and spraying in the inner courtyard.

Chen Xiaodao didn't know how powerful these people were, but he knew how powerful "You Wu" led by the guards was - last time, he rushed in with the vegetables recklessly, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell with the vegetables. Entering the pool, You Wuyi stretched out his hand, and firmly caught all the local people and dishes, which was quite an effort.

Chen Xiaodao felt relieved: "The son, are you coming back tonight?"

Lu Qing had an inexplicable sense of wanting to go out. When his parents asked, "Are you going to stay tonight?", he shook his head and shook off this messy thought.

Always staying in the palace, the censor's pen couldn't hold back.

Chen Xiaodao squatted on the ground and muttered: "Why do I feel hanging? You enter the palace, and His Majesty will let you back?"

Lu Qing put on a mask and didn't care much: "Will your majesty stop me?"

Lin Xi's eyes were confused, and he didn't know what history there was.

Seeing Lu Qing's lean back stepping out of the yard, Chen Xiaodao turned his head and said, "Did you see it? Every time your son enters the palace, he says that eight times out of ten, and four times he is left in the palace."

Only then did Lin Xi know where Chen Xiaodao's weird expression came from, and couldn't help but smile.

Chen Xiaodao applauded with tears: "You laughed, you laughed! My name, Chen Xiaodao, has finally been preserved!"

Lu Qing didn't know how Chen Xiaodao told Lin Xi that Lu's residence was not far from the imperial city.

The forbidden army saw the tooth card and immediately let it go.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Ning Juan was in the south study room grading books.

In the past, Ning Juan was nominally pro-governor, but he was suppressed by Wei Herong. The memorials were sent to Wei Fu first, and after they were reviewed, they were sent to Ning Juan, and the ones that had been dealt with were thrown to Ning Juan.

This time he has emerged, and Wei Herong can no longer use the reason that the young emperor is ignorant to act so recklessly, at least most of the memorials were sent to Ning Juan.

But mastering the political affairs of a country is countless times more complicated and difficult than managing the political affairs of a province.

Wei Herong deliberately threw some troublesome documents.

The Guardian Party looked forward to it, secretly praying that the little emperor was just a pretentious thing, and he had no way of dealing with these problems and could not solve the problem. In the end, he threw it back to the cabinet, and the power would still be firmly in the hands of Wei Herong.

However, their expectations were clearly in vain.

Hearing Changshun's announcement that Lu Qing was asking for an interview, His Majesty the Emperor, who was burying his head in government affairs and working diligently, raised his head in surprise: "What are you reporting? Let the teacher come in!"

Lu Qing stepped into the study, walked slowly to the desk, glanced at the pile of memorials accumulated on the desk, habitually wanted to pick it up, help to see, stretched his hand halfway, his fingertips paused, and he took it back : "Listen to Chang Shun, if you haven't slept for a few days, you should also pay attention to your body."

Ning Wan keenly noticed his subtle movements, and was suddenly displeased.

He knew that Lu Qing was just accustomed to wanting to help himself, but he read it if he wanted to, so why be cautious?

When Jiang You was handling official business, this was not the case between them.

Ning Juan reluctantly suppressed his unhappiness, not showing his face, got up and pushed Lu Qingze to his seat, pressed him to sit down, stood behind the chair, and put his hands on the table, almost encircling Lu Qingze In his arms, he acted like a spoiled child: "This group of waste dim sum, the big thing about sesame has to be reported, and the eyes are tired, so the teacher can help me check it too."

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor being so blatant, Chang Shun twitched the corners of his eyes, made a wink, and asked all the palace servants in the study to go out, and he silently retreated to the door.

Lu Qing was also a little uncomfortable.

Ning Juan was no longer a slender child who could be held in his arms to study. He became taller and taller than him. Although he was only pressing on the table without direct contact, the boy's body temperature was against his back, and his breath came from the side of his ears. Flicking over, he had the illusion that he was being held from behind.

This posture is not strong in terms of aggression, but it is impossible to get up, and the retreat is blocked.

Pushed to sit on the main seat of His Majesty's study, Lu Qing felt quite uncomfortable, guessed what Ning Juan meant, and said helplessly: "Guoguo, the imperial court records are different from the political affairs of a province."

It is no problem to discuss together, but asking him to criticize the memorial would cross the line.

He didn't want to be a minister.

Ning Juan's Adam's apple rolled, "So what?" came to his mouth, and swallowed it back.

In fact, he knew all too well that Lu Qing had no desire for power.

In other words, Lu Qing seems to have no desire for everything, the power of life and death, gold and silver jewelry, love, love, and love are all separated from him. I want to touch it with worldly hands, but it is very far away.

This is the most terrifying point of Ning Juan.

The most terrifying thing is not the person who has the desire for power, but the person who has no desire. He wants to hold Lu Qingze by his side for a lifetime, but he can't find anything that can lure Lu Qingze to stay.

He could only try his best to give Lu Qingze everything he thought was good.

Just like the power of the emperor.

Not only did he want the moon to shine all over his body, but he also wanted the bright moon in his arms.

Ning Juan said in a low voice, "The teacher is different."

Lu Qing looked at the enormous workload, and then looked back at the faint blue and black in the boy's eyes, but still couldn't bear to ignore it: "Let me handle the unimportant things."

Ning Wan smiled, at least he knew that Lu Qing was soft and not hard.

But his purpose was not to make Lu Qingze tired, he just wanted Lu Qingze to "have power", instead of continuing the topic, he instead asked: "The teacher has not come to see me in the palace for a long time, and suddenly came here, what is it? Let's do it."

At the end of the sentence, there was a bit of a lonely sigh.

With the loss on his face, he looked like a puppy who was forgotten by his owner and thought he was abandoned.

Lu Qing listened to his faint resentment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "It's only been seven days since I returned to Beijing, how long? How can you say it is like waiting for eighteen years in a cold kiln, are you Ning Baochuan?"

Ning Juan was not angry when he was called Ning Baochuan, but was a little happy.

Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui are husband and wife, the teacher said it like this... It's hard not to make him happy.

The more Ning Juan thought about it, the more delighted he became. He pulled the chair and sat down, lying beside Lu Qingze, his head resting on his thin shoulder, and he continued: "But I miss the teacher very much, and I think about it all the time."

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Teacher is at home, with Chen Xiaodao on the left and Lin Xi on the right, it's very lively, I'm afraid I can't remember me, if it wasn't for something today, I wouldn't come to see me in the palace. But the teacher I'm very happy to come and see me."

"…"

This little bastard, why is there tea in the tea?

Lu Qing laughed the more he listened, and slapped him on the head, his movements were as light as stroking, and laughed and scolded: "You are so busy as soon as you return to the palace, I have a cough again, what are you doing here in the palace, to disturb you, By the way, will I infect you to cough? Keep it away."

Ning Juan put away his small temper at the right time, and argued in a low voice: "How could the teacher come to the palace to disturb me, and I am in good health and will not be infected."

Lu Qing used a little force this time and patted his head: "Sit up straight, Your Majesty, what about your royal manners?"

Seeing that Lu Qing was teaching himself a lesson as before, Ning Juan's mouth ticked with satisfaction.

When he retracted his head, he seemed to rub Lu Qingze's side cheek lightly inadvertently.

The soft tips of his hair brushed past first, and then his hot breath swept past his neck, grabbing a touch of the faint plum fragrance.

Lu Qing didn't turn his head subconsciously, seeing Ning Juan sitting upright with a serious face, and feeling that he was sensitive again, he was stunned for a while, and then he remembered the purpose of this trip: "I came to the palace because I wanted to be with you. Talk about Xu Shu."

Right now, Pan Jingmin suddenly turned his confession and refused to recognize it. He only had the account book but no correspondence, so he couldn't do anything about Wei Herong.

The Guardian Party has a large number of people in the court and is deeply rooted. Fan Wei, the commander of the fifth army battalion, is also an absolute supporter of Wei Herong. This force is too huge, and it is impossible to dismantle it cleanly. We must first weaken the Guardian Party. Strength, and then pull out in one fell swoop.

The Fifth Army Battalion was stationed at the Jingwei Station, and it was the Jingshi when he turned his head. Fan Wei was definitely a big problem. With him around, he couldn't move Wei Herong at will.

But they didn't expect to solve Wei Herong directly this time.

Using Xu Shu may speed up the process.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Shu's movement in Jiangyou was quite big and could not be concealed, they wanted to arrange for Xu Shu to use another identity to enter Beijing, which would make Wei Herong less vigilant.

Ning Juan knew what Lu Qingze was talking about, and said clearly: "The spies reported that Wei Qiao's condition is relatively stable at present. Wei Herong is not in a hurry. Like the teacher, I also want to speed up."

With **** stretched out, he accurately took out a secret letter from the pile of books and handed it to Lu Qingze: "This is Xu Shu's life experience, I think it can be used."

Royal's back tone is done very well.

Lu Qing took the secret letter, opened it, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that Xu Shu was the adopted child of the Liang family, but he didn't expect that Xu Shu had some relationship with the imperial court.

More than 30 years ago, there was a court judge named Xu in the Taiyuan Hospital. The court judge Xu was very skilled in medicine and was responsible for the safety of a noble concubine.

Unexpectedly, the noble concubine was disturbed by fetal gas, gave birth suddenly in the middle of the night, and died of hemorrhage.

So Xu Yuan, who was in charge of asking for a pulse and failing to save people, was sentenced to death.

That noble concubine was the emperor's favorite. When the emperor was furious, Xu Yuan sentenced the family to prison, the female relatives were not in the court, and the males were all executed.

Xu Shu was the one who slipped through the net.

When the accident happened, he was at his grandmother's house in the south of the Yangtze River. When officers and soldiers came to arrest him, he fled in a hurry and fell into the river.

Not to mention a child, even if a strong adult man falls into the river, the possibility of surviving is very low. The officers and soldiers waited for a long time and saw that no one came up. up.

But Xu Shu didn't die. He was very fluent in water. He escaped from death and was rescued by the people of the Liang family.

The head of the Liang family had classmates with Xu Yuanju, and they were quite good friends. Seeing Xu Yuanjuan's family had an accident, he couldn't bear it, so he secretly adopted Xu Shu and changed his surname from "Xu" to "Xu". They only said that Xu Shu was an orphan, and seeing that he was pitiful, he adopted him.

After reading the secret letter, Lu Qing shook his head secretly.

"Can't save people, you are buried together" - this sentence is a rotten stalk that has been complained by countless people in later generations, but in this era, it is terrible to say it from the emperor's mouth.

First, there was an accident in his own family, then the junior sister was forcibly taken away by the emperor, and then the Liang family who adopted him was implicated in the palace, and the concubine Jing also died of illness in the palace.

No wonder Xu Shu hated the capital and the royal family so much.

If Ning Juan was not Liang Yuan's child, he probably wouldn't give face, and would rather be beheaded than willing to go to Beijing to help.

"Did Xu Shu agree? How are you going to use it?"

Lu Qing thought for a while, put down the secret letter, and raised his eyelashes, only to realize that when he was reading the letter, Ning Lan was looking at him with his elbows resting on his cheeks.

I don't know how long I watched it.

Seeing Lu Qing, he raised his head, but Ning Juan did not panic, and looked at him calmly: "He shouldn't have any opinions, and he will also have his own exposure when investigating this matter. Now that the clues from the past have been erased, Xu Yuan is Xu Shu, Only we know about being adopted by the Liang family."

Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, Lu Qing sniffed a bit of meaning from his words: "You mean to use Xu Shu's 'hatred' for the royal family to start?"

The whole family died under the influence of the emperor's anger, and it was a disaster.

Who can not hate?

Seeing that Lu Qingze immediately understood what he meant, Ning Juan smiled a little: "Well, show Wei Herong the show. After a while, ask Xu Shu to poison me when he asks for the pulse, and then ask someone to check. It was his poison, and it was revealed that Xu Shu was the legacy of the Xu family, so Xu Shu would completely stand on our 'opposite' and would not be ours."

Lu Qing then continued: "Wei Herong will naturally not miss this opportunity to show kindness to Xu Shu, the Punishment Department is his territory, and after Xu Shu is imprisoned in the Punishment Department prison, he will definitely find a way to rescue Xu Shu and bring him with him. Enter the Wei House and treat Wei Qiao."

Ning Wan smiled even more: "That's right."

After the successful negotiation, Lu Qing was relieved, so he stopped delaying, and helped Ning Lianfen with Xiaoban's memorial. The two of them sat in the study together and wrote hard together.

Suddenly the sky darkened.

Lu Qing pulled his head out of the tedious government affairs, rubbed his temples, and looked outside: "The palace gate is about to be locked, I should go back to the palace."

Ning Wan was silent for a while, put down the brush, and said faintly: "I knew that if there was nothing wrong, the teacher would never come to see me in the palace... That's all, go back and share dinner with Chen Xiaodao, don't forget to drink the medicine, Take care of your body, and if you remember to think about me, I'll be happy."

Lu Qingze: "..."

Chang Shun slowly came out of his head: "Your Majesty, your breakfast and lunch are useless today, do you want to announce dinner?"

Ning Juan lowered his eyes: "Come on, I have no appetite."

Lu Qingze: "..."

Lu Qing looked at Shang Ning Juan's sneaking glances, and sat back speechlessly, angry and funny: "There is no end, stop acting! Changshun, what are you doing with me, can't I stay!"

Lu House.

When the palace gate was locked, Chen Xiaodao, who didn't see Lu Qingze coming back, was not surprised at all. He and Lin Xi held a watermelon and gave himself a thumbs-up comparison: "Look, I predict things like God."

Lin Xi nibbled at the melon and nodded in agreement.

The author has something to say:

Changshun: In three words, His Majesty gave me a salary increase of 18 units.
