Lu Ze was sitting on the main seat in the main hall of the palace.
Master Han Shengxuan bowed his body and lowered his hands behind him. On the pear wood hollow rocking chair to Lu Ze's left was an old man, and behind him was a young woman gently tapping his shoulders.
The magnificent Shuwang Hall, which had been vacant for a long time since the renovation, finally became lively.
Now in this luxurious main hall, there are the young His Highness the King of Shu, Han Shengxuan, one of the top ten martial arts masters in the world, Yang Taisui, the sick tiger, the Tantric Bodhisattva King of Mount Landuo, the ancestor of the Lu family Lu Feiqi, the future Princess of Shu Lu Chengyan, Blind Eye Lang Luxu, Liyang Xishu Taoist envoy Chen Yunian, Xu Yu, the leader of Chuntie Caotang, the first sect in Xishu, and Xie Xie who appeared on Rouge Review again this year.
The atmosphere in the hall is very harmonious.
Whether it was Lu Chengyan or Chun Tie Cottage's thank you, they were both powerful women with long sleeves and good at dancing. With these two beautiful women as the lively center of the atmosphere, people naturally started chatting and laughing.
On the main seat, Lu Ze didn't speak much, and his presence didn't seem very strong.
But no one dared to truly ignore this young King of Shu.
Lu Feiqi and Yang Taisui were talking quietly. The latter looked at the extremely pale cheeks of the ancestor of the Lu family on the rocking chair and sighed silently in his heart. Even though there were many things that Zhu Guo of the Lu family had done, He admired him very much. Yang Taisui looked at Lu Ze and hesitated to speak.
Lu Ze obviously noticed the abnormality of the second master, and smiled and said: "Second master, many rare treasures have been transported from Tai'an City this time. My father has prepared these things in advance, right? ..”
Yang Taisui smiled and nodded.
He originally wanted his disciples to get married as soon as possible after joining the feudal vassal, and being happy was only one aspect. The Lu family had done a lot of things behind the scenes. Now that they have arrived in this strange Shu land from Qingzhou, if they don't have a suitable status, I'm afraid... It was inappropriate, and the ancestor of the Lu family next to him had reached the stage of returning to his former glory. Yang Taisui wanted Lu Feichi to see his great-granddaughter's wedding before he died.
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and the only sound left was the discussion between Yang Taisui and the young man Lu Feiqi.
The tall Xishu woman with long hair draped over her vest quietly looked at Lu Ze who was sitting on top of the throne. His Highness, the King of Shu, had done a lot of things that shocked the world in the past two years. , and thank you for knowing something secret, including the rumored battle at Tiemenguan between Jiange and Liushahe.
The so-called rumors that Xu Fengnian, the prince of Northern Liang, died in the rebellion in the Western Regions can only bring down the ordinary people who have not yet established civil rule. If Lu Ze killed Xu Fengnian, who was always known as a dandy, it was nothing, then he killed the white-clothed man. The fact that the war immortal Chen Zhibao was buried in the loess of the Western Regions seemed a bit shocking.
Thank you for your lowered eyebrows. This woman who is very good at observing words and emotions did not notice the true temperament of the young King of Shu during their first meeting today. No matter how powerful the Liyang royal family is, at least this deep city is worthy of it. The national surname at the beginning of the name.
At noon, when the King of Shu entered the city, the swords in the arms of the swordsmen along the street buzzed and moved. Thank you for knowing that you could follow the sect leader to the new palace of the King of Shu and be the first group of women to see the young His Highness. Xie Xie is not just a beautiful vase, she is also a swordsman who has entered the Vajra realm.
Lu Ze seemed to notice the gaze of the Shu woman and smiled at her in greeting.
Today's Chuntie Thatched Cottage can enter the main hall, which naturally requires a lot of effort. As a well-deserved leader in the world of Xishu, its courage also far exceeds those of the powerful families in Shu, so it was directly agreed to serve as the leader in the future. The Prince of Shu's army made two thousand standard knives for free, and there was a lot of money hidden in them, enough to buy two seats in the main hall of Chun Tie Thatched Cottage.
At this time, Xie Xie had withdrawn his gaze.
The woman smiled slightly and nodded to Lu Ze, then lowered her head, but her heart felt slightly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has such a sharp sword intent, but he only showed it for a little bit and it became so powerful."
"It is rumored that he combined the old swordsman Li Chungang's secret skills into two
The Sleeve Green Snake understood it all, and now it seems that what he said is true. "
Xie Xie looked at the confirmed Princess of Shu in the hall. Having spent time with her these days, Xie Xie knew deeply how powerful the woman surnamed Lu was. I am afraid that the future of Shu would be completely in the hands of the young King of Shu. With little knowledge, King Shu His Highness's own power can be vaguely known by observing the people around him.
At this moment, the eyes of Lu Chengyan, who was extremely thoughtful, turned red, and the woman covered her face and began to cry.
The old man Lu Feiqi who was sitting on the rocking chair gently patted the back of his great-granddaughter's hand, with a look of deep affection on his face: "A woman will eventually get married, and our ancestors will die without regrets if they can see Yan'er get married with their own eyes." "
Xie Xie saw in his eyes that for the first time, an emotion called envy appeared in his heart that had not been shaken for a long time.
Yang Taisui in black came to Lu Ze's side. The bald second master bowed his head and whispered a few words.
Lu Ze nodded: "Okay, the wedding will be scheduled for the twelfth lunar month ten days later. Although the time seems to be rushed, it doesn't matter. The elders invited to this wedding banquet are all in Shu."
The prince's wedding should have been handled by the Tai'an City clan mansion or the palace.
But the identity of the prince Lu Ze is too special. As the emperor's illegitimate son, his mother died young, so he naturally lost the elders of his mother's line. Naturally, few people from the royal family came to attend the wedding banquet, so the emperor made preparations. Many rare treasures, and even a lot of good things were transferred from the royal treasury, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.
Master Han Shengxuan slowly retreated from behind Lu Ze. The old eunuch who had served in the palace for many years was undoubtedly the best person to organize the wedding banquet behind him. Everyone in the main hall talked and laughed for a long time. Lu Ze raised his eyes and looked at the Taoist priest of Western Shu. Briefly send Chen Yunian.
"Chen Jinglue, there should be a lot of time for us to deal with each other in the future."
"I hope... we can work together happily."
The old man in his 60s who was still in front of the two people in Chun Tie Thatched Cottage was dressed in simple clothes and had a peaceful face. He didn't look like a Taoist priest at all. If he were walking on the street, he would look like the most ordinary old man. At this time, Chen Yunian bowed slightly to Lu Ze.
Lu Ze picked up the teacup on the table and was about to take a sip when he suddenly turned to face the people in the hall and said, "It is said that a few mice escaped from Xishu to Nanzhao a few days ago. Now the war has started again on the border of Beiliang. From there, Many rebellious ministers and traitors from the old Western Shu have returned, including Zhao Dingxiu, a remaining minister of Western Shu and the former great scholar of the Western Shu Palace, and Ruan Gong, the junior brother of the Sword Emperor of Western Shu."
"Sir Chen Jinglue... do you know about this matter?"
The old man surnamed Chen shook his head expressionlessly: "I haven't heard of it."
Lu Ze nodded and did not continue to ask. He just gently blew the fragrant long-lasting black tea leaves floating in the tea cup. The guests in the main hall quickly left, and Lu Chengyan also supported the slow-walking ancestor and left slowly. Before leaving, the woman surnamed Lu, whose eyes were still red, looked up at her future husband. Lu Ze's eyes were full of extreme tenderness, which made people feel sincerely at ease.
The female Bodhisattva Dharma King clasped her hands in front of Lu Ze. The Landa Mountain Bodhisattva just now was also very quiet.
[In view of the general environment,
"The people of the Western Regions express the highest respect for His Highness the King of Shu."
"The mountain master decided to send 10,000 elite monk soldiers for His Highness to command, and..."
Lu Ze shook his head and did not continue to listen. He simply interrupted the other party: "Too little."
I saw the slightest trace of displeasure in the calm eyes of the female Dharma King. Even these ten thousand monk soldiers were agreed to be sent to the young King of Shu after a long debate on Landa Mountain. They were used as Landa Temple to march into the Central Plains. The bargaining chip in this transaction was that under the extremely complicated situation in the Western Region, it was not easy to mobilize 10,000 monk soldiers.
"Does Your Highness know the current situation of our Landa Temple? The natural disaster in the Western Region has just passed, the people are in dire straits, and rebellions are swarming everywhere."
"The deployment of so many troops and horses at this time has reached the limit of what we can bear."
Lu Zeluodai
He looked mockingly at the real Bodhisattva who had quietly entered the realm of the great celestial phenomena: "I only know that we had an agreement at the beginning that at least 30,000 monks and soldiers would be sent to the Western Regions to help me pacify Nanzhao. The destruction of Buddha in the world has been accomplished. The general situation is that the holy monk Nagarjuna of the two Zen temples has passed away, and the incense of Buddhism has been extinguished. Do you really think that your Landa Temple alone can take advantage of this fertile land in the Central Plains?"
"The problems in the Western Region can only be solved by starting from the root."
"So, for you, the title of King of Shu is not enough."
Lu Ze's attitude was unexpectedly tough.
This made the real Bodhisattva opposite him fall silent for a while.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I need to return to Landa Mountain to discuss with the mountain owner and other real people."
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Of course."
The main hall soon became empty. Lu Ze, who finally had some free time, stood up and stretched out comfortably. At this time, the only blind young man beside him was Lu Xu. Lu Ze looked at him: "Lu Xu, I may have to look at you here in Xishu from now on. I won’t be able to stay here for long, so this white scroll can only be painted by you.”
Lu Xu showed a wry smile: "His Highness was probably trying to scare the real Bodhisattva who has a good foundation in martial arts but is obviously lacking in scheming, right? There are indeed a lot of troubles over at Landuo Temple. Regardless of the level of Buddhism on the mountain, how can you be so successful? For many years, he has been the leader in the Western Region. He relies on the powerful monk soldiers. With the help of Buddhist self-cultivation methods and the so-called power of faith, His Highness needs 30,000 monk soldiers. He is afraid that he will kill the old man of Landa Temple. Life."
Lu Ze didn't seem to care about this: "To tell you the truth, my bottom line is actually 20,000 yuan. This kind of thing is no different from ordinary people doing business. If I ask for 20,000 yuan, I'm afraid the other party will Counteroffer to a lower price. If Landa Temple doesn't pay a lot of blood, how can I support them to become the leader of the Buddhist sect in the world? Don't forget, my second master is from Liangchan Temple. That white-robed monk Li Dangxin Not a good person either."
The fat monk soldier of Landa Temple is what Lu Ze really likes.
He has no interest in the real Bodhisattva who has a face like a girl but is already forty years old. Liyang will fall into unprecedented turmoil later. Lu Ze knows that his emperor is not in good health. This picture The bow that had been hanging for a long time was stretched to the extreme, coupled with the eager gaze of Beimang, the turmoil of Beiliang, and the ambition of King Yanchi... the role of martial arts masters in later generations is far less useful than soldiers and horses in the world.
"Your Highness wants to invite the prince of the old Western Shu to serve as the lieutenant, and thereby win the real support of the people in Shu."
"Then I don't know who I chose for my face?"
Lu Xu knew many secret things.
Including the Shu Taoist envoy was actually the key factor for the people of old Western Shu to survive these years.
Including the old Western Shu prince whose real name was Su Su and whose pseudonym was Su Su. He returned to Shu from Beimang. Now he had moved to the Nanzhao swamp forest before the King of Shu arrived. Little did he know that he had become Lu Ze long ago. goals in the plan.
Lu Ze burst out laughing: "You really understand me, Lu Xu."
The battle at Tiemenguan cannot be talked about for the world to see, so Lu Ze, the new king of Shu, needs a real battle to declare his existence, and at the same time, it also provides peace to the wavering prince Laozi in Tai'an City. Really make up your mind.
To pacify Nanzhao is one aspect.
And taking the old Western Shu prince into his pocket is also one aspect.
Of course, a major event that can truly shock the world is needed to set off the King of Shu's entry into the feudal vassal and become a stunning foil for the young King of Shu.
Lu Ze spoke softly: "Is Cao Changqing's reputation big enough?"
Lu Xu felt cold sweat pouring down his back.
The blind young man never imagined that his master's target would be the last romantic Cao Guanzi from Western Chu.
Lu Xu asked directly: "Is it possible for Your Highness to invite the Lord of Emperor Wu City and the second best Wang Xianzhi in the world again?"
Lu Ze shook his head: "Of course not. That time I had a fair and just transaction with Wang Xianzhi, and now I have no leverage to impress him. This
This time I will not invite anyone. I will simply keep this Cao Qingyi in front of the world and send his head to Tai'an City. "
Lu Xu no longer said anything.
He didn't know what the trump card of the young Highness was. This official Cao was three points stronger than Chen Zhibao, and Lu Xu knew that Chen Zhibao died at the hands of Wang Xianzhi.
But at this time, all the blind young man can do is believe.
Believe first, then believe!
"When does Your Highness plan to take action?"
"The wedding day."
Lu Ze looked out the window at the brand-new pavilion courtyard and spoke softly: "That Cao Qingyi once entered Tai'an City three times and wanted to take off my father's head to pay homage to the dead souls of Western Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Now I have also boarded it. He is on the must-kill list, second only to my father. On my wedding day, this Cao Qingyi will definitely come to watch the ceremony and cause trouble."
"Blood Wedding..."
"Then let the blood of this Confucian sage come to congratulate the King of Shu on his wedding!"
