back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 13 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
The next day, Lu Chengqi, who was reviewing the memorial, received the news that Taishi Yang was ill. He paused for a moment with his hair dipped in red ink, and felt emotional: "I didn't expect Taishi Yang to come to see me when I was seriously ill that day. It's his turn to be sick today. Out of emotion and reason, I'd better go visit him, anyway, he's also my nominal teacher..."

After writing the word "practicable" on the memorial, Lu Chengqi stood up, stretched his hands and feet, and said loudly: "Send me out of the palace, I'm going to the Grand Master's Mansion."

In the grand master's mansion, Yang Hong was holding a bowl of bitter medicine and feeding Yang grand master with a spoon.Grand Master Yang finally finished drinking a bowl of medicine, then coughed and asked: "Hong'er, did you do what father ordered?"

Yang Hong smiled bitterly and said, "When did my son fail to do what my father ordered? The money I earned over the years, my son packed it into a car and transported it to the household department."

Grand Master Yang smiled gratifiedly, and said: "As the saying goes, companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger. Dad just didn't see it clearly, so he fell into this big somersault. But if dad falls, he can still stand up. If you fall, dad will be gone forever." I count on it. Dad is old enough to have a son, and he only had you at the age of 48. You are the only child of the Yang family. Even if he risked his life, he will protect you. Don’t talk about being a prime minister, even if you lose all your wealth, you will be safe Now, the Yang family has hope!"

Yang Hong immediately understood Grand Master Yang's painstaking efforts, choked up and said, "Father..."

Just at this moment, a male voice sounded outside the door: "The emperor is here!"

Grand Master Yang struggled excitedly and wanted to salute, but was supported by Lu Chengqi who strode into the room, and said: "Teacher is not well yet, how to get up, lie down quickly!"

Grand Master Yang seemed to be very moved, with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, the old minister is in a daze for a while, if you want to punish, just punish me alone, don't drive my Yang family to extinction..."

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly and said, "Teacher, even if I want to kill everyone in the world, I won't touch a single finger of you. You should take good care of your illness in Beijing. My society still needs your help!"

Grand Master Yang shook his head, and said: "The old minister is dying and cannot be used. This world is still the emperor's world after all, and the old minister should have retired long ago..."

Lu Chengqi held Grand Master Yang's hand, like a teacher and student who had never had a gap.If others don't know, it's true that teachers and students love each other deeply.The acting skills of these two people will be placed in later generations, and it is a certainty that they will enter the Oscars.How else to put it, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!
Lu Chengqi said to Yang Hong: "I have something to say to the teacher, you should step down first!" After the screen retreated to the left and right, Lu Chengqi slowly said: "I also know the painstaking efforts of the teacher. You spent all your wealth, but In order to get a promise from me. I can promise you that I will not touch a single hair of the Yang family, and even keep your name clean for generations to come."

Grand Master Yang's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he held Lu Chengqi's hand tightly, and his rapid breathing betrayed his inner concern: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "I have a golden mouth, and what I say is an imperial decree. Why can't I count it?"

Taishi Yang was really convinced this time: "The old minister is really old, Your Majesty is the master of wisdom, I hate that the old minister's old eyes are dim, and he never saw it!"

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "The unlucky ghost before was a fool, you can't see that it's natural. But who am I, Lu Yunzhi? A time traveler, even if you're not very dark-hearted, sitting in this position, you should learn it! "

But he said: "Teacher, don't go back to your hometown in a hurry, I want to protect your name, so you need to do something yourself."

Taishi Yang was stunned, he didn't expect Lu Chengqi's plan to be so far away, even what he would do when he retired was arranged.This time, he was overwhelmed with admiration.Although Lu Chengqi's attack was too hasty this time, if he dealt with it with all his strength, he could still survive for a while, but Lu Chengqi had such scheming at a young age, how could he, a bad old man, deal with the growing Lu Chengqi?It can be said that this defeat was just right, and Grand Master Yang had no complaints about the defeat.

The two exchanged some more greetings before Lu Chengqi came out. At the end, he told Yang Hong to take good care of the Grand Master, and encouraged him to continue his studies and strive for a sergeant in the scientific examination.

Yang Hong was dazed by Lu Chengqi's words. It wasn't until Taishi Yang analyzed it that he realized how scheming Lu Chengqi, who was two years younger than him, couldn't help being right.

Lu Chengqi, who performed a good show, came out of the Grand Master's Mansion in a good mood.He has never had a good time since traveling, so he started to inspect the people's conditions in Chang'an City, and by the way, he did some research on the tax reform that he planned.

He asked left and right: "What novelty is there in Chang'an City?"

The new head of guards, Wang Yanchen, hurriedly said: "Huihuang..." Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chengqi knocked on the head with a folding fan, and angrily said, "Your Majesty!"

Wang Yanchen is not a fool, although the emperor's folding fan is easy to hide, but he dare not hide!Knowing that he had accidentally violated Lu Chengqi's taboo, he said cautiously: "Master Hui, there are many squares and markets in Chang'an City, and they are very lively on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. Today happens to be the first day of the new year, so there are more idlers. It's just that There are mixed fish and dragons here, people from the rivers and lakes mostly come and go, so you have to be careful."

Lu Chengqi glanced at him: "That's your business, if you can't protect me, you can resign yourself!"

Wang Yanchen flattered the horse's leg, so he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, and made up his mind to stop talking.

But Lu Chengqi was like a little doll who had never seen the world, looking around, looking around, finding everything new.He really didn't expect that the market in the Dashun Dynasty was really bustling with crowds everywhere he went.I heard Wang Yanchen say that there are actually 50 permanent households in Chang'an City, which means there must be at least 120 million people. "My dear, even in future generations, this can be regarded as a big city." Lu Chengqi clicked his tongue and thought, "It seems that the potential of Dashun Dynasty is quite large, at least with a large population No, I have to ask that old boy Xu Chongguang to do a census when we go back, and see how many people there are in the whole country."

Lu Chengqi was thinking while walking, and unknowingly came to a crossroads. Looking around, a tall building rose from the ground, even in the palace, there was no such tall building.Fortunately, the Dashun Dynasty was not as strict as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was very strict about architecture, so that such buildings existed.However, the floor of this brick and wood structure is no more than five floors.Lu Chengqi, who has seen countless high-rise buildings, is no stranger to this.

I saw three big characters written in regular script on the plaque in front of the gate of this high-rise building: "Yingke Building", and the side is full of embroidered banners, which is very impressive.Lu Chengqi couldn't help being curious: "What is this place?"

Wang Yanchen said: "Master Hui, this is the largest restaurant in Chang'an City."

"Oh?" Lu Chengqi couldn't help becoming interested. You must know that he has never tasted what kind of wine was like in ancient times, so how does it compare to the baijiu of later generations?He was not a drinker, but since he came to this life, he shouldn't bring any regrets, right?
Lu Chengqi said vigorously: "Come on, go in and have a drink or two. If the wine is not good, I will smash his signboard!"
