Chapter 283: The Hidden Dragon Society (Part II)
After Wu Xingzong left, Lu Gao was still a little drunk.
"Lord?" the call made Lu Gao suddenly wake up, and one of the two personal soldiers was standing in front of him, looking at him with some concern.
"What's the matter?" Lu Gao raised his gaze slightly and asked in a deep voice.
This pro-soldier is an old subordinate, and said unhurriedly: "That's the case, the villain wants to ask, you have overdosed a little today, do you still want to drink some sobering wine...... The villain asked the guy to go and prepare some ...... first."
Following the gaze of this attendant, I saw footsteps at the top of the stairs, and a man in a short shirt and a neat look, holding a dark tray in his hand, walked towards this side.
On top of the wooden tray, there were a few kinds of fruit, and a small delicate pot, and a cup, which must have been decanting soup.
Lu Gao understood that while he was thinking about things, the drunkard had come to visit.
"Forget it, let's go up, and besides, it's useless for you, let's sit down and use it together!" Lu Gao retracted his gaze and said lightly.
The two pro-soldiers are standing, and now they are used up, in fact, there is still half of the dish, and it is not an insult to give the pro-soldiers to eat, this is a habit many times.
The two soldiers looked at each other and sat down.
The man walked to the table and put the decanting soup and fruit snacks on the table one by one, and Lu Gao ordered two or three dishes that the restaurant was good at random, and asked for some drinks and staple food, which were for the soldiers.
The man remembered, retreated and prepared, and it didn't take long for the meal to be put on the table, and the soldiers ate silently, while Lu Gao used it lightly, sobering up his wine.
Because it's quiet, I can really listen to what the guests at the other tables are saying.
The guests who were talking about Enke have changed the topic now, and they are still inseparable from the big and small matters that happened in Jinling, and being able to eat on the second floor can be regarded as a little status.
So which lord was mean, which lord was generous, which servant stole something and broke his leg and drove out, and that family was promoted and changed the house.
Listening to these people's comments on the ministers of the DPRK and China, Lu Gao was silent and listened very carefully.
After listening to it for a while, Lu Gao heard a lot of news, and even talked about the meeting.
This matter is widely implicated, and tens of thousands of people have been sentenced before and after.
But when it comes to treating the former ministers and friends, they all have their own degrees.
Lu Gao faintly had some spectrum in his heart, this Wang Hongyi can't talk about tyranny, but he can't talk about magnanimity, there is a line in it, this line is out, divided into friends, relatives, and stay, in front of this self-set rule, everything is in order.
But this is actually a good thing, if the emperor is moody, everyone will have to walk on thin ice every day, and live in the blame at every turn.
After a while, a burst of singing came in through the window.
The woman's voice is very beautiful, and the song she sings is extremely tactful, like the tender green buds under the spring light, which makes people's hearts soften for a while.
Looking out of the window, I saw a gorgeous painting slowly walking on the lake, and this singing came from the painting.
The guests who were still discussing the affairs of the DPRK and China seemed to be attracted by the singing, and after a while, they all fell silent.
"It's worthy of a moon girl......" After a while, someone exclaimed. There are also people next to him, and the following discussions are all about spring outings.
In the bright spring season, many children will take prostitutes to cruise on the lake, or climb mountains and valleys, and ordinary men and women will also come out to wander around, scattering in some temple fairs and street markets.
This topic full of spring breath made Lu Gao's hand pause slightly, and he didn't want to look at it anymore, his mood was so exciting, and the two pro-soldiers noticed it.
They glanced at each other, and the speed of eating increased again, until the two pro-soldiers also ate quickly, and Lu Gao said lightly: "Let's go." ”
It seems that his expression has not changed, but those who know him well can tell from the curvature of his slightly tight lips that he is not in a happy mood at this time.
The soldiers paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Lu Gao in their arms.
It wasn't until he got into the carriage and left with the shaking carriage that Lu Gao's mood slowly calmed down, but a kind of indescribable and unclear taste slowly spread in his heart.
"Huh?" A carriage and the carriage of Lu Fu happened to face each other, and when the two carriages crossed, the person sitting in the carriage happened to lift the corner of the curtain and look out, and his eyes caught a good glimpse of the sign of the carriage coming from the opposite side, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
All officials with high rank, the carriage that enters and exits has a certain appearance, and the family's attention in this regard is obviously deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
"Youzhou Lu's family?" the person in the carriage murmured, apparently the sign on the carriage that Lu Gao was riding, and this person happened to see it.
"My lord, what's the matter?" the attendant who was driving the carriage in front heard what the adult in the carriage said, but he didn't hear it clearly for a while, so he asked out loud.
Just casually sighed, you just continue to drive. A man's voice came from inside the carriage.
"No. The attendant didn't ask any more questions and continued to drive.
The carriage traveled a few streets and came to a halt in front of a mansion near the inner city, and the four men who followed the carriage also turned over and dismounted.
This mansion seems to occupy a lot of land, and the family who can have such a mansion here will never be a small family.
The front door of this mansion is very quiet, perhaps because it is close to the inner city and there are no miscellaneous people.
Lifting the curtain, a man in an official uniform stepped out of the carriage.
Slowly stepping down from the carriage, Lai Tongyu, as usual, looked up at the plaque on the door, and lifted his robe up the steps.
"Adult, let the little one come. An attendant said.
Lai Tongyu nodded, and the attendant stepped forward and slammed the door a few times.
After a while, a sound of footsteps came from the door, and the footsteps came from far and near, until they came to the place near the door.
Then, a slightly old voice sounded: "Who?"
"Uncle, it's the adults who are back. The attendant who slammed the door immediately replied.
"It turns out that the adults are back!"
When the people in the door heard this, they were happy in their voices, and hurriedly opened the door, and an old man in his early fifties, who looked healthy and neat, walked out with a smile on his face, and arched his hand towards Lai Tongyu: "My lord, it's cold outside, let's go in quickly!" The old lady sent someone to ask for a question, and the little one also felt that you were afraid that you were going back, ...... adult."
"Mother asked?" Lai Siyu asked as she walked inside.
The old man replied, "Yes, you went down to try it, but according to your letter, it is estimated that the time will come, and the adult will also return with the order, but at this time, there is no adult, and I am a little worried." ”
"Let my mother worry, it's really unfilial, so I'll go over to see my mother. Lai Tongyu said, walking back, thinking about the carriage he saw when he came back.
went down by order, what a coincidence, met General Lu on the road?
I have some thoughts about this General Lu from Youzhou, but what does His Majesty think now, it is still confusing, and it is more appropriate for him not to put it together if his identity is too sensitive.
Thinking like this, Lai Tongyu already had some ideas in his heart.
As in the past, as soon as Lai Tongyu returned home, the first thing he had to do was go to the back house to say hello to his mother.
Today, I heard that my mother had urged me to ask once, and I felt guilty in my heart, and I accelerated my speed more and more.
But as soon as he reached the second door, a servant caught up from behind, panting.
"What's wrong, so panicked?" Lai Tongyu stood up and looked at the person who came with a slight frown.
"My lord, it's the holy decree that has arrived! It was Gonggong Qian who passed the decree, saying that he wanted the family members of the Lai Mansion to receive the decree together!" the servant gasped back.
"Holy decree?" Lai Tongyu couldn't help but be stunned on his face, before he handed over the decree, the emperor didn't say anything, why did he have a decree in a blink of an eye?
It's not that I haven't received the will before, it's mostly a verbal word, and the holy decree for promotion to an official position has also been received, unlike today, without warning, will it be a good thing or a bad thing?
Lai Tongyu was slightly stunned, quickly regained his composure, and said lightly: "Don't hurry up and prepare the incense case! Also, please ask the old lady and his wife to come with him!"
"No!" the family quickly came to their senses, and immediately ran to the back to invite the old lady and the lady over.
Laifu was busy for a while.
After a while, the family members of Laifu arrived, men, women and children, and they had already set up the incense case, and came to pass the decree to Father-in-law Qian, who had already walked over with a serious face.
When Gonggong Qian entered the courtyard, he stood in front of the incense desk, expressionless, and read out the contents of the holy decree word by word.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Lai Yi in the previous dynasty was loyal to the country, admired by the people of the time, and benefited one side with Shu, known as I know and praise, the father and old of the alley and the field are well known, I think about the national system, and the people and ministers are only loyal to the ear, Lai Yi can be loyal to the country, that is, loyal, can govern one side, that is, there is virtue, how can I not add?
Lai Tongyu listened to the holy decree quietly, puzzled at first, but after listening to a few words, he only felt that everything was boiling.
remembered that in the thirteenth year of Chuizheng, the emperor first invited Lai Tongyu and said this on the deck.
The emperor said: "Lai Gong's affairs, I have heard about it a long time ago, I listened to it when I was a child, hey, generously wrote a book, demoted thousands of miles, Lai Gong is loyal and patriotic, righteous and awe-inspiring, but he fell into this part, the court also added the evil narrow, so that the nine springs are not peaceful, you are a grandson, but you have to work hard for it, get rid of the evil as soon as possible, and make it beautiful." ”
He also said: "Don't be like this, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and it is said that the sacrifice is only five generations, as long as the Lai family can get rid of this matter within five generations, it will be fine." The court does not allow it, but there is a way. ”
This was seven years ago, and now after the emperor ascended the throne, he has not forgotten it, and has given a decree to remove the evil and make it beautiful.
When Lai Tongyu thought of this, he trembled, and all kinds of grievances were ...... All melted and dissipated in this will.
After listening to the holy decree, Lai Tongyu couldn't kneel up, fell to the ground, and cried tears: "Minister...... The minister is afraid, my Lai family is favored by this saint, and I can solve the grievances of my ancestors, and the minister has nothing to repay, but to break his bones...... Loyal and diligent servant ......"
Speaking of this, I couldn't say anything when I choked up, I only heard the loud sound of "popping", but I was desperately kowtowing to the ground, and suddenly the green bricks were dyed red.
