Boom - boom, boom, boom, boom!
"Close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft."
Along with the watchmen walking through the streets, East Street ushered in a new day.
The Yin hour has arrived, and it’s time for all officials to go to court!
The Duke's Mansion, the backyard.
Under the service of his maid Jiu'er, Lu Shaoze, dressed in a brown white tiger suit with red eyes, left the mansion looking like a human being.
Although he has the privilege of not having to go to court, didn't he return to Beijing yesterday and not go to the palace to see him?
I just took advantage of the opportunity of the morning court to see with my own eyes the current situation of Emperor Wu!
However, when he came out of the house and looked at the empty streets in front of him, he felt a little confused.
The old man at home didn't wait for him?
"We agreed to go together last night, but we changed our minds in the blink of an eye?"
"It's nothing~"
Fortunately, the Duke's Mansion was not far from the imperial city, so Lu, who muttered to himself, did not bother the servants.
Immediately thinking about all the conversations I had with my parents last night, I stepped forward and started running like crazy.
Not to mention, walking alone on the street before dawn is a bit desolate? ?
…
Yin hour moment.
Seeing the imperial palace in sight, Lu Shaoze slowed down, and at the same time there were more officials on the road.
But he didn't know most of those officials, let alone have any interactions with them.
It was impossible to talk, so Lu straightened his clothes, revealed his identity to the imperial guards and entered the palace.
But when he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he saw many familiar faces.
His father, Lu Dingbang, his chief assistant, Qin Ming, Cai Zhou, the Minister of Punishment, Xu Sanyuan, the Minister of Official Affairs, etc.
Those guys were standing together in twos and threes, wondering what they were talking about.
He even saw an acquaintance in the crowd, Young Master Fang Weimin!
Lao Fang was surrounded by flattering officials.
After all, he is a young master, and now it is time to establish a prince, so it is right to have a good relationship with him.
But in the face of everyone's flattery, Fang Weimin closed his eyes and rested in the presence of the old god, out of sight and out of mind!
Those who don’t know better think that he is a serious person who doesn’t join in with others?
"It's pitiful that Lao Fang is so old. Not to mention that he has to fight with Mei Niang at night, and he has to rush to attend the court meeting before dawn? Tsk tsk~"
Lu Shaoze laughed secretly in his heart, but he did not bother Lao Fang, let alone greet others.
The reason why he came to court today was that he wanted to tell Emperor Wu that he had obeyed the order and returned to the capital.
Secondly, I just want to witness the recent events in the court with my own eyes.
I even want to see how Emperor Wu will respond to his father’s clear support for King Rui!
As for the rest?
Mr. Lu didn't have the leisure.
But even if some people do nothing, standing there is a beautiful scenery that will always attract people's attention.
No, Guan Hai, who was in charge of patrolling the palace, quickly walked up to Lu Shaoze after giving instructions to his men.
"Master Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing, sir?"
"Huh? Master Guan?"
Guan Hai's sudden greeting made Lu Shaoze a little unexpected.
After all, this person has not been seen since he was transferred from the White Tiger Guard. How could he come?
However, Lu Shaoze still nodded and said:
"My officer is acceptable, where is Master Guan?"
"It's not bad, patrolling is pretty easy." Guan Hai replied honestly, but there was always a wry smile on his lips.
From being the deputy commander of the White Tiger Guard, one person below ten thousand, to being transferred to a palace surrounded by nobles, it is understandable that he feels uncomfortable.
Lu Shaoze understood his situation, but it was difficult to say anything.
He just smiled and said with relief:
"Haha, compared to the running around of your brothers, your life is pretty good, so be more open-minded."
"That's true."
Guan Hai nodded slightly and was speechless for a moment.
I don’t know how long it took before he continued to speak:
"Master Lu, Xie Biying is the daughter of Xiaguan's good friend. I hope you can take good care of Xiaguan in the future. Guan will be very grateful!"
After Guan Hai finished speaking, he bowed and bowed heavily.
Although he is a close confidant of Emperor Wu, he is able to put down his dignity for the daughter of his best friend, which shows that he is still a good person.
Lu Shaoze didn't stop him when he saw this, and accepted his courtesy with peace of mind!
"Don't worry, Mr. Guan, I will take Xie Biying's matter to heart."
"In this case, I would like to thank you sir, Guan. I cannot stay long because of my responsibilities as an official, so I will take my leave."
"Commander Guan, please do as you please."
Guan Hai nodded, turned around and walked away, but Lu Shaoze stared at his back for a long, long time!
Living in the whirlpool of the palace, attaching importance to love will only become one's own weakness. It is impossible for Guan Hai to not understand this!
But he...sigh~
"I hope you won't suffer for this in your life!" Lu said to himself.
Guan Hai was just an interlude, and Lu Shaoze quickly calmed down and continued to wait where he was. .
…
Time flies, and the time is approaching.
Boom~
The sound of a bell also heralds the start of the morning dynasty.
Upon hearing the sound of the bell, the civil and military officials immediately lined up in four rows and trotted towards the Jinluan Hall with their heads lowered.
In the blink of an eye, only Lu Shaoze was left in the place.
Mr. Lu looked left and right. He was really a little confused!
Finally, after some thought, he followed the military attache.
Mainly because this was Lu's first time attending a court meeting in a strict sense.
Does he know anything?
Of course, the last visit outside the Jinluan Palace does not count.
And Lu Dingbang thought that his son knew everything, so he didn't explain the details of going to court.
This is what happened before my eyes!
After a while.
Just when everyone was about to step into the Jinluan Palace, Zhennan General Liu Jue, who was walking behind the military attache, suddenly felt a little nervous on his back.
Although he held the post of General Zhennan and held a fifth-rank official position, he only held a false position and had no rights at all.
But he usually ranks last in court, but today there is an extra person behind him?
The confused Liu Jue turned around and was dumbfounded on the spot.
Prince?
Grass!
"Master Lu, why are you here?"
Looking at the guy in front of him who attracted all the officials to look at him, the speechless Lu Shaoze quickly pushed him and urged:
"Shh, come in quickly."
"Oh~"
Liu Jue also noticed everyone's gaze at this time, and quickly stood up to his position without thinking too much.
Lu Shaoze also followed closely behind.
But the civil and military officials who had a panoramic view of this scene had their eyelids twitching.
Especially Lu Dingbang, his face immediately turned dark!
Are you careless? You forgot to tell your son about going to court?
But before he could say anything, Eunuch Zheng’s iconic voice sounded:
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Wu, dressed in dragon robes, appeared in front of everyone.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May your Majesty be in peace."
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May your Majesty be in peace."
"..."
All officials salute, and Lu Shaoze also imitates it.
However, his eyes were secretly looking at the majestic figure sitting on the dragon throne.
“Looking at the red face, it doesn’t look like a dying person???”
