Lu Yu also looked over and saw a large ship sailing over not far away. As the distance gets closer, you can see that she is wearing white clothes. When the ship docked, the ladder that had been prepared fell down, and the soldiers carried the coffin off the ship.
Lu Xuan came down with Da Qiao and others.
Lu Yu looked sad and immediately brought people to pay homage to Lu Kang's coffin, and then bowed to Lu Kang's coffin. The accompanying royal family members, civil and military officials followed and saluted in unison. All people bowed before returning.
Lu Yu followed Lu Xuan and explained the general layout of the imperial city.
After everything was explained, Lu Xuan nodded, very satisfied with Lu Yu's arrangement. The group returned to the imperial city, and the mourning hall had been decorated. After the coffin was placed, the mourning process progressed in an orderly manner.
In such an environment, although the government affairs of the court were still running, the main thing was still to pay homage to Lu Kang.
After five days of resting, the funeral ceremony and burial will begin at the chosen time.
When the funeral is over, everything resumes.
The city of Nanjing, which had fallen into silence, began to regain its vitality, and Lu Yu continued to supervise the country.
Lu Xuan's mood gradually recovered. The deceased was gone after all, and he had to work down-to-earth. Lu Xuan stayed in the palace for a while. In April, the weather became warmer.
On this day, Lu Xuan called Lu Yu.
Lu Yu entered the palace and when he saw Lu Xuan, he saluted and said, "Father!"
Lu Xuandao: "Sit down!"
Lu Yu sat down with a solemn expression, feeling a little reluctant because he was worried that his father would leave again. Lu Xuan had only been back for about a month, and he hoped that his father would stay longer.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Yu's expression and chuckled: "Yu'er, you have grown up slowly, and it is time to soar like an eagle. You are almost fourteen years old this year, and you are enough to support the world."
Lu Yu felt even more reluctant to give up.
He immediately understood that his father had sent his grandfather away and would definitely leave again.
Lu Yu looked at Lu Xuan with an expression of nostalgia and said, "Father, can't you stay a little longer? Or, the battle on the front line should be left to the soldiers. You stay in Nanjing to manage the place and control the front line."
"I do not like!"
Lu Xuan answered with a smile.
He said solemnly: "I can indeed stay behind, but this palm-sized imperial city is not what I like. Sitting in the nine deep palaces of the imperial city, it seems that I have supreme power, but in fact it also detains people. , preventing people from being free."
"I don't want to be in it."
"It's just that I am the same as you. I can control the situation even if I am outside. You are different. If you want to control the world, you must sit at the center and rely on and unite the officials in the court to control the world."
"This is the loneliness of being an emperor."
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Yu and said: "Yu'er, you are the eldest son of the Lu family and also my eldest son. You are destined to carry this on your shoulders. Therefore, you can only stay. You can carry it. ?"
Lu Yu's eyes were full of fighting spirit and he said loudly: "Father, please rest assured that I will work hard and do my best. I can handle everything that happens to the Lu family and the Ming Dynasty."
Lu Yu had no objection to being emperor.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with staying in the palace. Since childhood, Lu Yu has been taught by Zheng Xuan, which is to take the world as his own responsibility, to achieve success while benefiting the world, and to bring great order to the world.
Lu Yu and Lu Xuan received different educations, had different starting points for considering things, and naturally had different acting styles.
Lu Xuan looked pleased and praised: "In addition, if I stay in China, you will never be able to grow up. Only when I leave Nanjing will you truly face many things and truly grow."
Lu Yu said: "My son, I understand."
Lu Xuan continued: "Actually, there is nothing to be sad about. If you really miss your father, you can also go to Huashi City in Xiangzhou. For the time being, I am in Huashi City and will not leave."
"It's not long before you are crowned as an adult. Do your best and I will wait for you to be crowned. At that time, I will take your mother back to Nanjing and crown you personally. By then, I hope you can truly control the officials in the DPRK and China and replace them. As your own people, you must truly be able to rule the world."
"My son understands!"
Lu Yu spoke again, but the reluctance in his heart burst into tears.
I really can't control my emotions.
Lu Xuan walked up to Lu Yu, wiped Lu Yu's tears, and said with a smile: "You are already a big kid, why are you still crying?"
Lu Yu said: "My son, don't cry."
However, his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Lu Xuan saw this in his eyes and hugged Lu Yu. After all, his son was only about fourteen years old, so he was still a child. It's just that Lu Yu is the prince, and this status is destined to take a different path.
Lu Yu's road was also more bumpy and difficult.
Lu Yu cried for a while before standing up. He puffed up his thin chest and said loudly: "Father, my son is not young anymore. I will definitely handle the government affairs of the court well and will not disappoint your expectations."
Lu Xuan said: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work!"
Lu Yu shook his head and answered.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Yu's appearance, gently touched Lu Yu's head, and said, "Go and do your work."
"Here!"
Lu Yu bowed and left.
Lu Xuan returned to the harem, and after seeing Da Qiao, he said, "Have you seen your father-in-law during this time?"
"We met!"
Da Qiao nodded and answered.
Lu Xuan said: "Call Xiao Qiao, let's go see my father-in-law. Next, I have to visit some people here and there, deal with some follow-up matters, and invite the people I want to take to Xiangzhou. After everything is done, we Just get ready to leave."
"Here!"
Da Qiao readily agreed.
When Lu Xuan took the women in the harem to visit everywhere, the Cao family in the city.
In the study.
Cao Cao and his son Cao Ang sat opposite each other.
Cao Cao was fifty years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face. But his mental state is very good. Anyway, he doesn't need to care about what the court does, and he doesn't need to worry about it. He is naturally happy both physically and mentally.
Cao Cao looked at the middle-aged eldest son in front of him and said slowly: "Ang'er, the matters in the court have been basically settled. Next, Your Majesty should go to Xiangzhou again, and I will go too."
Cao Ang said: "Father, don't worry. If your son stays at home, he will take good care of his younger brothers and sisters and take care of everything at home. My second brother went to Wozhou and I heard that he made great achievements as a county magistrate, which is very good."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "He has to deal with Pi'er's affairs by himself. It's a good thing to wait for him to deal with it."
Cao Ang nodded, feeling a little regretful.
It's just that Cao Ang is very sensible and knows that as the eldest son, he must stay.
Cao Cao continued: "This time I don't need you to take care of my brothers and sisters. With your Majesty's permission, I can take away my wives, Cao Zhi and Cao Chong. However, you have to stay."
ah! !
Cao Ang exclaimed in surprise.
The expression on his face suddenly froze.
I thought everyone at home would stay, but everyone was there and it was lively. Now that his father had taken away the family and left him guarding a big house, Cao Ang felt helpless for a moment.
Even though Cao Ang was already in his early thirties, he still felt bad.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang, patted Cao Ang on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Bad boy, you are the eldest son of the family. If you leave with me, who will clean the ancestral graves at home? Who will burn incense and pay homage to the family during the Qingming Festival every year? Are you leaving the ancestral home alone? This is the ancestral land of my Cao family, and someone must take care of it."
Cao Ang said: "Did the father want to take care of the ancestral land and pay homage to the ancestors, so he left his son behind?"
"Of course, you are the eldest son."
Cao Cao paused while stroking his beard, and said without blushing or out of breath: "Because you are important and you are the heir to the family, so you must stay. This matter belongs to you."
Cao Ang solemnly said: "Father, please rest assured that my son will definitely take care of everything in the family."
Cao Cao had a smile on his face.
What a silly boy!
Cao Cao talked to Cao Ang again and arranged things at home. After the father and son had a long talk, Cao Ang got up and left.
