back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 559
"What?!" Lu Chengqi was taken aback, "The Queen Mother is also choosing a concubine for me?"

Zhou Zhiruo tried her best to hide her smile, but the corners of her eyes, her smiling eyes had already betrayed her: "Who told His Majesty to have a son? Of course the empress dowager is the most anxious person. She is an old man, but she still has to tease her." Sun, Your Majesty hasn't seen anything for a long time, how can she sit still?"

"An old man, have you ever seen an old man in his 40s? I'm such a cheap father, I'm really not a thing, and I made a little girl into a widow..." Lu Chengqi complained in his heart, but there was nothing to say.But after thinking about it, I suffered a bit of a loss just now, could it be that I am lucky now?Compared to Zhou Zhiruo's youthfulness, Lu Chengqi couldn't bear to do it; then Han Feng'er's figure, let alone being too irritating.If the concubine is really accepted, wouldn't it be "the spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early"?
In all fairness, which man doesn't like this kind of life?It's just that Tang Minghuang's lesson is still vivid in his mind.The rule of Kaiyuan, this is the rule of Zhongxing, which is more powerful than the rule of Zhenguan.It's a pity that after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. Tang Minghuang was wise in the first half of his life, but misled the country in the second half of his life, with mixed merits and demerits.Taking history as a mirror, although it is not the history of the same time and space, Lu Chengqi does not dare to go beyond it.As far as he is concerned, he is not a person with strong self-control, and now that he is the emperor, no one dissuades him from going out of line.If Dashun is dragged down, the power falls, and the dynasties change, wouldn't he want to have no bones left?

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi shuddered, and said resolutely: "I want to put state affairs first, state affairs first..."

Zhou Zhiruo was taken aback for a moment, she thought she had a plan, but she didn't expect Lu Chengqi to say "putting state affairs first", she said angrily, "Your Majesty!"

"Miss Han is a good girl, but how can I bear to say, 'Once I enter the palace, it's as deep as the sea'? I don't care if I don't mention it, or I don't mention it." Lu Chengqi said with a straight face.If there is someone who is also reborn at this moment, seeing Lu Chengqi like this, he will definitely punch and kick, and yell: "In your previous life, you were a diaosi, but in this life you are an emperor, why are you still diaosi mentality? An emperor, don't say three wives The fourth concubine, even the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of Sangong is no exaggeration! I don’t believe in hypocrisy, there are still cats in this world who don’t steal sex!”

"Your Majesty, do you know that Sister Han is [-] years old this year?"

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "I heard a little..."

"The girl is fifteen years old, and in her twenties, there is not much room to choose a husband. Sister Han is infatuated with His Majesty. Could it be that His Majesty has the heart to watch Sister Han die alone?"

Zhou Zhiruo's words touched the softest string in Lu Chengqi's heart.In this day and age, although the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are also emphasized, compared with high-ranking officials and gentry, marriage among ordinary people is still considered free.It's just that when a girl is over seventeen or eighteen years old and still doesn't have a husband's family, it's really hard to get married.Lu Chengqi was really worried, if Han Feng'er was kicked out of the palace by him, he might die alone.

"It's too early to say these things now, let's wait until Miss Han wakes up..." Lu Chengqi said with a sigh.

Zhou Zhiruo was also silent, and she also knew that if Han Feng'er couldn't wake up, then her "painstaking efforts" would be useless.

After the atmosphere became gloomy, after a while, Lu Chengqi suddenly said: "Zi Tong, did you say that I blocked the matter of that day, did you do something wrong? Now everyone in Dashun doesn't know about it, but the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes... "

"Rumors stop at the wise, why should His Majesty worry?"

Lu Chengqi sighed, and said: "I just sympathize with the Qin family's family. It's none of their business that the robbers did evil. They are also victims! It's just a moment of kindness, but in exchange for such consequences, I feel that it is Didn't I do something wrong?"

"It's better to be blocked than to be sparse. Your Majesty also knows this truth?"

The implication of Zhou Zhiruo's words is why Lu Chengqi chose "block" instead of "sparse".Lu Chengqi also knew that his thinking was too simple.Any small matter of the royal family, when magnified, is a big matter for a country.What's more, this was a rebellion in the Li dynasty, and the emperor almost "killed" because of it, which was enough to shock the whole country and even surrounding countries.Three days have passed since that day, presumably Goryeo and Liao should have gotten the news, right?Will Yelu Hongji and Wang Huihui laugh in secret, and cursing in relief, "You deserve it for calling you arrogant!"

This scene appeared in Lu Chengqi's mind, and he was a little unhappy: "One hundred secrets are sparse, I didn't expect that someone would dare to commit crimes against the wind. I have already made an order, but it still spread..."

Zhou Zhiruo smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, there were so many people with mixed eyes that day, leaking rumors is inevitable..."

Lu Chengqi was also very depressed. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Forget it, the matter has come to an end...Zi Tong, you go to the Qin Mansion for me, and send some gold and silver to the Qin family. It is considered compensation. It is best to persuade them Stay away from Chang'an City, there are too many gossips in Chang'an City today, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it..."

Zhou Zhiruo nodded, as a promise.She has always known that Lu Chengqi has a kind heart and treats his subjects better than her.Sometimes she was jealous and wanted to ask Lu Chengqi whether he cared more about his people or himself.Fortunately, she came from a well-known scholarly family and abided by etiquette, so she didn't ask.

Lu Chengqi gently took Zhou Zhiruo into his arms, and said softly: "Too many things have happened recently, I have neglected Zitong, Zitong won't blame me, right?"

This is the advantage of the reborn. How can a different emperor say these words so affectionately?Zhou Zhiruo is also a fledgling, and with a few sweet words, she seems to have forgotten all the grievances she has suffered these days: "The concubine knows His Majesty's difficulties..."

Lu Chengqi lifted her catkin, put it on his cheek, took a deep breath of the orchid-like fragrance, and said intoxicated: "I said, give me a little time, after I have dealt with the world, I can give it to you." Zi Tong..." Before he could finish speaking, a white jade-like finger pressed against his lips: "Your Majesty, all courtiers and concubines understand..."

This is when the two are in love, so there is no need to say more.Lu Chengqi didn't say much, and gently embraced Zhou Zhiruo's neck, wanting to kiss those soft lips with lip balm, Zhou Zhiruo also seemed to agree.In fact, the two of them have done everything they can, but the last line of defense is still missing...

"oops!"

Before the kiss was over, Lu Chengqi suddenly cried out in pain.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly: "It's on my feet..."

Zhou Zhiruo pushed him away suddenly, and said angrily, "I'm not healthy yet, so I'm trying to do something bad!" After saying that, she stood up and wanted to go out.

"Zi Tong, where are you going?" Lu Chengqi asked quickly.

"The concubine is going to send gold and silver to the family members of the Qin family..." Zhou Zhiruo said without looking back.

Looking at Zhou Zhiruo's back with her hands tied at her waist and slowly leaving, Lu Chengqi thought to himself, "This girl is really getting more and more interesting. If I hadn't been injured, would I still be able to hold back just now?"
