Chapter 481
In the western garden of the palace, Emperor Xinde was wearing a Taoist robe and was in a very good mood. He sat upright on the dragon throne and said with a smile:
"Dai Aiqing, I have heard a lot of interesting stories about the capital recently. What's wrong? Then Lu Zheng came back from the northwest and resigned from his post. He studied peacefully and prepared for the spring exam next year. Dai Aiqing still hates him so much?
Youdao is the prime minister who can hold a boat in his stomach. Lu Zheng is a talented man and a talent. If I love talents, please don’t hold him back and let him go. Is it good to give me a face?"
Emperor Xinde's tone was relaxed and his words were quite teasing. Dai Gao said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood! I am so old that I only think about how to share your worries with the emperor, how to live for a few more years for Dakang Dynasty, and where would I provoke any talented men?
But this man surnamed Lu was fanning the flames and wanted to be incompatible with me. Emperor, Dai Gao is the prime minister. I can't let a boy with a bad baby be so arrogant. This is a huge humiliation to my Dakang court!
And...and...he...he...he...he...he...he..."
"Haha!" Emperor Xinde smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Dai Qing, I know your difficulties! Your girl is called Xiaojing. This child has been weak since childhood. Don't let her upset!
As for children, they have their own ideas. How can you not support what they like? Besides, I heard that Lu Zheng really likes Xiao Jing. On this issue, Dai Aiqing..."
"Emperor!" Dai Gao knelt on the ground and said, "Emperor, I am really suffering from this matter. Please give me some time to handle it properly by myself!
My Dai family was not from a high family, and it was not even as good as the Lu family in Jiangnan. But what are the four great masters in Jiangnan? The late emperor had a holy teaching. The four great masters in Jiangnan were offended. If my Dai family had a relationship with the Lu family in Jiangnan, what would the old minister have to meet the late emperor in the nine springs?"
The old man Dai Gao has high acting skills and cried as soon as he says he is heartbroken. Seeing this, Emperor Xinde felt very embarrassed and immediately said:
"Okay, Dai Qing, just get up, don't cry, let's not mention this topic for the time being, okay? Don't mention it for the time being..."
Emperor Xinde helped Dai Gao up and arranged to give him a seat and said, "Daiqing, you, my king and minister have not been together for a long time. I am happy today. Let's stay here for dinner!
Come and invite Tianshi and Lu Shouzun, and we monarchs and ministers to have two drinks!"
The eunuch Feng Ren personally went to invite Lu Changhe, and Xu Tiandao, the four kings and ministers used vegetarian food together. Emperor Xinde was in a good mood and looked very good.
Recently, he has made rapid progress in practicing Taoism, and the success rate of alchemy is also extremely high. According to Xu Tiandao, these are all his fairy fate. Lu Zheng is also the key figure in Emperor Xinde's pursuit of immortal fate. Now, Emperor Xinde is naturally concerned about Lu Zheng's affairs in private.
There are rumors outside that Lu Zheng and the Dai Xiang Mansion cannot be resolved on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Dai Xiang Mansion's lady has a special liking for Lu Zheng. This couple often go to Fayuan Temple for private meetings. This is the most popular story of a talented man and beautiful woman in the capital.
Emperor Xinde saw that Lu Zheng was young and his family was in decline, but he relied on his own to resist the prime minister. Instead, he lived a happy life and made the capital famous. People rush to respect each other, so he was so happy.
He looked for Dai Gao today because he was afraid that Dai Gao would be really cruel and insisted on attacking Lu Zheng. In addition, Xu Tiandao and Lu Changhe were the people he trusted the most, and he wanted to take this opportunity to show his attitude in an extremely obscure way.
The immortal fate cannot be forced, but Emperor Xinde did not dare to express his thoughts directly, so he used such a method. He believed that both Dai Gao and Lu Changhe were extremely smart people and would definitely be able to understand his intentions.
Of course, he had many hints about this meal. Dai Gao was just pretending to be pitiful and never let go of his attitude towards Lu Zheng. Anyone could tell that this old guy really hated Lu Zheng, and hated him to the core.
It is understandable to think about it. Lu Zheng, a young man who was so arrogant, fought against the prime minister's family on his own. Not only did he lose his advantage, but he took this opportunity to show off all the attention, which made Dai Gao lose his prestige and lose all his prestige. Even if Lu Zheng had the heart, how could he not be angry?
Also, what is even more excessive is that Lu Zheng secretly acted as the lady of the Dai Mansion. Dai Gao always regarded his daughter as his heart. Lu Zheng's actions were like robbing his daughter. How could he tolerate it?
Emperor Xinde could understand Dai Gao's thoughts. In fact, he was not afraid of fighting between Lu Zheng and Dai Gao. It was interesting to fight between ministers. But he was worried that Lu Zheng was too weak. I think with his warning, even if Dai Gao was really incompatible with Lu Zheng, he would not go to death when he was acting!
After a meal of vegetarian food, Dai Gao said goodbye in a hurry, Lu Changhe and Xu Tiandao also said goodbye one after another. Xu Tiandao still followed his own rules. Whenever he did not have a vegetarian ceremony, he would not live in the West Garden, but would return to his Taoist temple to meditate.
After leaving Xiyuan and just leaving the palace, Lu Changhe's sedan chair stood in front. Xu Tiandao frowned slightly. In his memory, Lu Changhe was a very cautious person!
The two met in a very hidden place the previous few times, and the surroundings were closely monitored and were definitely not known to outsiders.
But today Lu Changhe actually blocked the palace gate directly, in full view of everyone. What does this mean?
Xu Tiandao got off the sedan chair, put on a Taoist robe, and slowly approached the side of Lu Changhe's sedan chair. Lu Changhe's voice sounded: "Master Xu, you can eat more rice these days, and you can't talk nonsense!"
"What does Lu Shouzun mean? I was confused! Please make it clear!" Xu Tiandao said lightly.
Lu Changhe said coldly: "Master Xu, don't think I don't know what you did for Lu Zheng in secret. Don't forget what I did in Dakang Dynasty!
Master Xu, I respect you, the master of Taoism. Will Master be bullied by me as weak and incompetent?"
Xu Tiandao frowned slightly and shook his head and said, "Lu Shouzun, I think you have any misunderstandings! I am a monk and never talk about other people's right and wrong, and I will not do anything wrong in secret. If the adults really doubt me, I have nothing to say, but I have a clear conscience!"
After Xu Tiandao finished speaking, he swung the whisk in his hand and walked away. Looking at his appearance, he was naturally elegant and had a fairy-like demeanor.
Xu Tiandao got into the sedan chair, and the sedan chair bypassed Lu Changhe and disappeared from Lu Changhe's sight. Lu Changhe sat upright in the sedan chair, raised the curtain with a finger, stared at the direction where Xu Tiandao left, frowned, and fell into confusion.
"Sir, we are watching Xu Tiandao very closely. He should have had no contact with Lu Zheng in private! We are also watching Lu Zheng very closely. We have a clear understanding of his daily life and diet..."
Lu Changhe raised his hand gently and stopped his subordinates' words. At this moment, his mind was full of confusion. He really didn't understand how Lu Zheng could find him and find him!
He suspected Xu Tiandao, but based on various considerations, he overturned this idea. Xu Tiandao didn't know the details of Lu Changhe! Indeed, Lu Changhe had looked for Xu Tiandao several times for Lu Zheng's affairs and even gave warnings. However, such behavior is suitable for his identity as the head master of the Xuanjingsi.
How could Xu Tiandao know that the arrangement in the suburbs was made by Lu Changhe? Lu Changhe acted and held a killing weapon like Xuan Jingsi in his hand, which would reveal flaws in front of a Taoist priest?
Lu Changhe thought repeatedly, and in the end he could only draw one conclusion, that is, Lu Zheng might have known Lu Changhe's identity for a long time. When Lu Zheng said goodbye to Shen Ling, Shen Ling might have told Lu Zheng this information.
Lu Zheng has always hidden this information from Yangzhou to Jinling, from Jinling to Beijing, and then from Beijing to the northwest. He has always hidden this information, treating it as a very deep card and not easily played it.
When Lu Changhe thought about it carefully, he felt that this inference was more and more correct. If this was the case, Shin Ling might have gone to the next day. If Shin Ling died, he would definitely leave his descendant. Lu Zheng became Shin Ling's descendant and had the greatest possibility of inheriting his legacy!
Lu Changhe never admired anyone in his life. He only admired his master Shin Ling. This old guy, the emperors of both dynasties could not do anything to him. He buried nails in various places in the Dakang Dynasty and won over the power. Speaking of his mastery of the Dakang Dynasty, no one has been able to compete with Shin Ling since the founding of Dakang Dynasty.
And Shin Ling can be said to be the pinnacle of the mastery of the people and the use of power. For example, Lu Changhe, who is now at the highest level, can be said to be without anything, but he is still unwilling to give up. He hopes to get what Shin Ling left behind!
Lu Changhe has such a thought, and the rest of the Shin Ling in the deep situation must have such thoughts, and it is precisely this thought that makes the forces left by Shin Ling become mysterious, powerful, powerful, and omnipresent...
Lu Zheng said it well, Shin Ling is a legend. He used the entire Dakang Dynasty as a chessboard to play a big game. The reason why he played chess is that every piece he fell would give the other party an illusion that he was the protagonist of this chess game.
In this way, there are many pieces in this chess game. Everyone thinks they are the protagonist. When they finally wake up, they find that they are just a piece. The discouraged chess piece becomes an abandoned piece. The abandoned piece does not matter and does not affect the overall situation.
And a chess piece like Lu Changhe who is unwilling to accept it is already in a high position and is trapped in the chess game and cannot get out of it. Can Lu Changhe clear the relationship between himself and Shen Ling now? He can't even clear the Yellow River even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
Lu Changhe's thoughts flew and fell into extreme anxiety. Finally, when he thought of Lu Zheng's calm face, his mind gradually calmed down.
