Chapter 964: The Empire's Strength
Father ......," Lu Feng still knelt on the ground and pleaded.
He is dressed in brocade clothes and tied his hair with a hosta, he is really a son like jade, and he is talented and learned, and he is a full gentleman.
After pleading, he also said sadly: "My father has always taught his sons and ministers that for the way of the king, the people must be saved first, and if the people are harmed to serve them, it is like cutting the shares to eat the belly, and the stomach is full and the body is killed......"
"Can this be the same!" Lu Chen asked.
"Father, the sons and daughters think that in the matter of Lizhou, Huairou means should be adopted, and there is no need to kill so many scholars." Lu Feng continued to cry.
"Huairou means? Do you know what those literati say! They're talking about Liguo! Liguo! That's Lizhou in Qin, don't you understand!? ”
"Father, I beg you......" Lu Feng pleaded again.
He has grown up, looking at his child, Lu Chen's face showed a complicated expression, both painful and distressed.
He was silent for a long time before he reached out and pulled Lu Feng up, and said at the same time, "Come, son, get up." ”
"Father." Lu Feng wiped his tears.
"You're just like your mother, you're too kind." Lu Chen looked at him distressedly.
After tidying up the child's clothes, he also said softly: "Okay, you don't care about this matter, when you are free, go to accompany your mother more, she misses you very much." ”
"Yes, Erchen knows."
"Go ahead." Lu Chen patted him gently again.
"The retainers retired." Lu Feng saluted and retreated.
Looking at the child's back, Lu Chen's face was painful, and a sense of self-blame rose in his heart.
For so many years, I have been too strict with my two sons, and I have pressed them too hard.
They've grown up.
Concubine Jing's bedroom, when it was close to lunch that day, Lu Chen also ordered someone to call Lu Zheng over.
The child is older, of course, he has his own mansion, and on weekdays, Lu Zheng also has his own little things to do, and rarely comes to King Jing, so the family of three is together today, not to mention how happy King Jing is.
"Father, mother." After Lu Zheng came in, he also gave a salute to each of them.
"Right." King Jing had a happy smile on his face.
"Sit down." Lu Chen pointed to the opposite side.
"Yes." Lu Zheng sat down as he said, inevitably a little nervous in his heart, because he didn't know what his father asked him to do.
Because it was not yet time to eat, there was a chessboard on the table, and Lu Chen handed Lu Zheng a box of white chess pieces, and said casually: "Your teacher Chen Qun, but everyone in chess, today, my father wants to ask you for advice." ”
Lu Zheng hurriedly took it with both hands.
"You go first." Lu Chen said.
"Father, please first." Lu Zheng hurriedly said.
Lu Chen didn't push back, and began to fall.
King Jing was full of warm smiles, waiting by Lu Chen's side, watching the father and son play against each other, she hoped that this moment would be forever and ever.
As he went down, Lu Chen also chuckled lightly and said, "Good boy, let your father go." ”
At this time, the palace maid also brought the meals one by one, and when Lu Chen saw this, he said, "Okay, my father admits defeat, let's eat." ”
The chessboard was put away, the food was served on the table, and King Jing hurriedly said, "Quick, Zheng'er, have two more drinks with your father." ”
"Yes." Lu Zheng responded, then picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Lu Chen.
The father and son began to drink together, the scene was warm, and King Jing couldn't stop putting dishes in Lu Zheng's bowl.
After another drink, Lu Chen also put down the wine glass, and blamed himself slightly: "Zheng'er, over the years, my father has not cared about you two brothers......"
At this point, he couldn't speak again.
But Lu Zheng could feel it, and his eyes immediately turned red.
Seeing this, King Jing said, "This kid, why are you crying?" ”
"Father, the sons know that you are strict and want me and my eldest brother to become talents." Lu Chen said in a hoarse voice.
"Okay, if you are free, accompany your mother more." Lu Chen interrupted the topic and didn't want to talk about it any more.
"Yes, son."
The next day, the Imperial Court Hall.
This court meeting is not trivial, because this is the first time in so many years that Hu Lu has sent an envoy into the Central Plains.
Since the first battle of Jingdi, after the five kings destroyed Hu, Hu Lu's vitality was greatly damaged, and he did not dare to go south easily for more than ten years, and during these ten years, the northern foreign tribes also carried out a series of mergers and integrations, and finally formed a great unification.
And this person is the son of the ghost king at the beginning.
is the so-called revenge of killing his father, not sharing the sky, it was the ghost king that Lu Chen killed at the beginning, and now, his son has unified the foreign tribes and become the real king of Hulu, how can he not have a heart of revenge.
After his envoy went to the palace, he also saluted Lu Chen, and said in fluent Central Plains language: "The foreign envoy has seen the Great Qin Emperor. ”
"The messenger is exempt." On the scene, Lu Chen naturally raised his hand slightly.
At this time, all the ministers in the palace also looked at the envoys, including Lu Feng and Lu Zheng.
The brothers have grown up, so they naturally have to participate in court discussions, understand political affairs, and gain experience, otherwise, how to govern the country and how to govern in the future.
After straightening up, the envoy also said straight to the point: "I am here to establish friendly relations between the two countries on behalf of my king and His Majesty. ”
"Oh? Tell me, Messenger. Lu Chen said with interest.
"That's right." The envoy of Hu Lu said directly: "My king heard that the princess Jinxuan of your country is eighteen years old, slim and elegant, and has not yet married, and my king is also young, and intends to marry the princess as his wife and reach a marriage with your country. ”
Princess Jinxuan is the title of the fourth princess Lu Jin'er.
At the beginning, the alien invasion fed on people, and the girl was regarded as a 'human sheep', like a demon, and let Lu Jin'er marry into a remote tribe, and it was a foreign race, how could Lu Chen be willing!
Don't say that he doesn't want to, if he really wants to do this, I'm afraid that the people in the country will criticize him.
His face also sank suddenly, and he said in a cold voice: "Princess Jinxuan, she is the princess of my Great Qin Empire, how can she marry a different race!" ”
"So, is Your Majesty unwilling?" The envoy asked directly.
"What do you say?" Lu Chen's voice was a little colder, and he knew that Hu Lu's envoy must not have a good heart this time.
"That being the case, then I don't have to bother to speak, since your country refuses to marry the princess, it will not give me the face of the king!" Hu Lu envoy said.
"Your face, how old is it!" Lu Chen also lost his temper and took the case directly.
"Good! In the next farewell! The envoy immediately saluted angrily, and then turned away.
This time, it was obvious that Hu Lu was deliberately making trouble, trying to find a reason to invade the Central Plains.
And the two countries were at war, and if they didn't kill them, Lu Chen didn't embarrass them.
The current Qin Empire is in a strong period, even if Hu Lu doesn't make trouble, Lu Chen is preparing to clean it up!
