royal palace.
At night, the huge palace complex was silent except for a large number of soldiers patrolling.
Under the leadership of Eunuch Zheng, Lu Shaoze and his two men passed through layers of guards and soon arrived at the Yangxin Hall where His Majesty was.
Also here, I saw a somewhat unexpected but reasonable character.
Fang Weimin!
"Tsk, tsk, this guy Lao Fang has finally entered the palace!"
With a thought in his mind, Lu Shaoze immediately stepped forward quickly and cupped his hands:
"Lu, I have met Mr. Fang."
He knew in his heart that the news that he and Wu An went to the Red Mansion would not be hidden from His Majesty.
Instead of pretending to be unfamiliar, why not say hello openly?
Lu Shaoze understands this, and so does Fang Weimin.
Therefore, he bowed politely and said:
"The grassroots are for the people. I pay my respects to Mr. Lu."
"I said goodbye to the Red Mansion a few days ago. I wonder if your body and bones are still healthy?"
"Uh, thank you for your concern, sir. Fang is okay, okay!" Fang Weimin responded with an awkward and slightly dissatisfied tone.
For those who don’t know, you might think that this guy is angry?
At least Eunuch Zheng on the side looked a little confused!
Good guy.
Prince Lu is worthy of being Prince Lu, but he actually dares to show his face?
Although Mr. Fang is old, his ambition is still there.
Even if you don't have any intention, you can't ask questions in front of others, right?
As a close servant of the Emperor, he knew His Majesty very well and also knew His Majesty's intention in summoning Fang Weimin.
Whether it is Fang Weimin or Lu Shaoze, they are both people whom His Majesty wants to rely on.
He didn't want any conflict between the two of them, so he hurriedly took a few steps, grabbed Lu Shaoze's sleeve and said:
"Master Lu, let's not waste time, His Majesty is waiting for you!"
After saying that, Lu Shaoze pulled him away regardless of whether he agreed or not.
However, he still turned around and told Fang Weimin:
"Sir, please wait a moment. Your Majesty will summon you later."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. Fang will just wait here." Fang Weimin said respectfully.
Then he watched the two of them enter the palace!
Unlike his master, he can walk freely in the palace with the emperor's golden order.
But it won't be long before he can do the same!
Ha~
…
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Emperor Wu stood solemnly with his hands behind his back, showing no anger or authority.
Below him, Meng Jizhou, the Minister of Rites, was lying on the ground, his body shaking into chaff.
In addition, there is a figure shrouded in shadow standing next to him!
When Lu Shaoze entered the palace and saw the situation clearly, without saying a word, he swayed in front of Emperor Wu and shouted at the same time:
"Eunuch Zheng, hurry up, hurry up and escort me!"
But his act of showing loyalty made Emperor Wu and others twitch in their eyes.
Eunuch Zheng rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then walked aside silently.
Dute Niang is one of our own, how can I protect her?
Emperor Wu on the other side also casually pulled Lu Shaoze aside, and then said helplessly:
"You kid, your acting skills are too poor!"
"Well, my humble minister's loyalty to Your Majesty can be proven by heaven and earth, as well as by the sun and moon! I just lost my etiquette in a moment of urgency, and please forgive me."
What Lu Shaoze said was impassioned, and what he said was righteous!
How could he not know that the black shadow was His Majesty's?
But sometimes, you still have to act!
"Okay, I'm calling you here today. I have a few things to say, so stay tuned."
"Your Majesty, please accept the order and thank me."
After Lu finished speaking, he stood aside very obediently.
Then he looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and waited patiently for Emperor Wu's words.
Emperor Wu glanced at him and didn't care. He immediately pointed at Meng Jizhou and said.
"First of all, I already know what this person has committed. When Ai Qing comes out of the palace later, I will turn him over to the Ministry of Punishment."
"I obey the decree."
Lu Shaoze nodded when he heard this, but he was actually a little surprised.
Your Majesty acted out of selfish motives!
The task of escorting Meng Jizhou could be done by any Imperial Guardsman, but why should he, the commander of the White Tiger Guard, do it?
Don't you want him to take revenge on someone for participating in the performance in front of the palace?
But why is Your Majesty so kind to him, Lu? You actually remember such little things?
If he hadn't been so sure that he was the old man's biological son, he would have even doubted whether he was a living prince!
At the same time, Emperor Wu waved his hand, signaling Zheng Zhuo to take him down.
During the whole process, he didn't care at all about Meng Jizhou's begging for mercy!
It wasn't until Meng Jizhou was dragged out that Emperor Wu pointed at the black shadow and continued:
"Secondly, he is a shadow, and he is also your White Tiger Guards Shadow Gate Guard. Do you know him?"
At this time, Lu Shaoze also followed Emperor Wu's finger and looked over.
I saw that the man was short in stature and could not be seen clearly due to the black robe covering his body, but his strength was quite strange.
He's clearly standing there, but he seems to be integrated into the space?
If you don’t pay careful attention, it can easily be overlooked!
When he first met, he thought that this person was His Majesty's secret guard, but he didn't expect that he would be the master of the Shadow Sect?
But I have to say that this shadow gate guard does have two skills.
At this time.
Shadow bowed his hands, and a voice without any emotion immediately sounded:
"Humble job shadow, pay my respects to Mr. Lu."
"There's no need to be polite, Film Secretary Wei."
After Lu Shaoze finished speaking, he turned to look at Emperor Wu, with excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
However, when Emperor Wu saw this, he simply chose to ignore it.
"The Shadow Sect was created by me, so don't think about it. However, I allow you to start a new branch of the White Tiger Guard. How about it?"
The Shadow Sect has special responsibilities. He can let Lu Shaoze know about the existence of the Shadow Sect, but he will never leave it to anyone!
No matter how much you believe in the Lu family and his son, you can't!
Of course Lu Shaoze also understands this truth.
Even when Emperor Wu revealed Ying's identity, he had already guessed the result.
However, Lu was unwilling to accept Emperor Wu's gift of allowing him to start a new branch in the White Tiger Guard.
Of course the intelligence services are a top priority.
But it is not easy to spread a wide net covering the whole country in Dakang.
The manpower and material resources used are astronomical!
And he was convinced that His Majesty would never appropriate funds.
What Emperor Wu said was just words, and must not be taken seriously!
Unless he, someone, is tired of living!
"Your Majesty, Dakang is now in a period of recuperation and recuperation. We must not waste our people and money because of the White Tiger Guard incident.
Moreover, what your Majesty is pointing to is also the direction of the White Tiger Guard, so it is enough for the guard to have three gates! "
Lu Shaoze said this, but in his heart he was slandering Emperor Wu.
This Lao Deng just wants to take out the Shadow Sect from the White Tiger Guard, so why bother to scare him, Mr. Lu?
well!
"Haha, you are indeed Mr. Lu's son. You are very good at guessing what I am thinking."
"Your Majesty's praise, I am just telling the truth, not trying to figure out the Holy Heart!"
"Okay, I didn't blame you?"
As soon as Emperor Wu finished speaking, he changed the subject and said:
"But what you think is only half right..."
