back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 6
Lu Chengqi thought to himself: "My little heart was almost frightened, but I have to pretend to be calm. I am the emperor, so I must be majestic!" Lu Chengqi, who calmed down slowly, did not put down the book in his hand, and turned the imperial guard Hanging aside for a long time.

Xu Jingchun didn't know what Lu Chengqi was thinking, but he still bowed his body half-bowed in trepidation, with his right hand clasped in military salute.Although Lu Chengqi didn't speak, the oppressive atmosphere caused sweat to break out on the forehead of this great master, as if facing Lu Chengqi, who was powerless, was more difficult than facing a peerless master.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Chengqi slowly put down the book in his hand, stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his back, and said in a slow but dignified tone: "Xu Jingchun, are you guilty?"

Xu Jingchun's heart trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "I... I don't know what crime I have committed?"

Lu Chengqi said coldly: "As the head of the bodyguard, you have been ordered by me, but you have been slow to come. Do you need an assassin to kill me before you are convicted?"

The coldness on Xu Jingchun's forehead seeped out, and he said in a trembling voice: "I deserve death for my crimes!"

Lu Chengqi said coldly: "This is not an example. If you commit another crime, you will be punished for both crimes. Then you can kill yourself!"

Xu Jingchun broke out in cold sweat, and didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off. Hearing that Lu Chengqi had spared him, he decided in his heart, and said: "I will protect the emperor's safety day and night, and I will not leave half a step away!"

Hearing that he had expressed his loyalty, Lu Chengqi knew that accepting him as his confidant was one step closer.Lu Chengqi carefully observed Xu Jingchun's face, and found that he had a face with Chinese characters, and there was a sense of righteousness between his brows.Even so, Lu Chengqi was still not sure about his character, so he deliberately tried it out.

With Lu Chengqi's experience in reading people, he can only see so much.But he is a salesman, and he still has a certain grasp of human psychology.Seeing that Xu Jingchun was convinced, Lu Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, picked up the tea at the table, and took a sip slowly.

Feeling a fresh fragrance piercing through his heart, Lu Chengqi couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's good to be an emperor. You are served with good tea and wine, but it is also a high-risk occupation. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

Even though he thought so in his heart, he still acted very majestic on the surface, which made Xu Jingchun feel uneasy: "Didn't you say that the little emperor has no city mansion? When I saw him today, he was so scary that I almost fucked up."

But Lu Chengqi was thinking in his heart: "I heard from Zhiruo, what is this tea called white tea, but I don't know what famous product it is? I want to come to Dragon Well, and Tieguanyin is nothing more than that." Although he is a liberal arts student, his understanding of history is not It is limited to the pitiful space in the textbook, how do you know that this is the famous tribute tea in Song Dynasty?This white tea has very little production and is not easy to make. Only the imperial family is lucky enough to drink it. Ordinary people only have rough tea. Where can there be such a good tea?

After taking a few sips of tea, Lu Chengqi said slowly: "Come here, show Chief Guard Xu a seat."

Xu Jingchun couldn't turn his head for a moment, this grant of sitting was a privilege that only important ministers in the court could enjoy, how could he ever enjoy such an honor as a rank five bodyguard?He froze for a moment.

When the little eunuch moved a chair, Xu Jingchun sat on it in a daze, without regaining consciousness.Lu Chengqi said again: "Look at the tea!"

The little eunuchs did not dare to neglect, they brewed a cup of tea as quickly as possible, and handed it to Xu Jingchun.Xu Jingchun took the tea in a daze as if falling into a cloud, and after a moment of stupefaction he came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the tea!"

Lu Chengqi took another sip of tea before saying, "This tea is good, you can try it."

How dare Xu Jingchun resist the order?Quickly gulped it down, regardless of the fact that the tea was still boiling hot.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Chengqi knew that his mind was in a mess, and thought: "That's good, it seems that the matter can be more than half successful." Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi said: "I heard that Chief Guard Xu came from a poor family?"

Xu Jingchun hurriedly put down his teacup, and replied respectfully: "Returning to the emperor, my family was poor since I was a child. After learning martial arts with my master, because I couldn't find a living, I became a soldier. I made a lot of military exploits at the border, so I was able to become a soldier." This rank five military officer."

Lu Chengqi asked slowly: "How long have you been in the palace?"

Xu Jingchun said honestly: "Back to the emperor, since the emperor ascended the throne, this humble minister has been serving the palace."

Lu Chengqi was overjoyed: "It seems that his background is quite clean, and he is a trustworthy person. I said why I had a little impression of him. It turned out that the unlucky ghost didn't want to see him and sent him away. If No, I'm afraid he himself won't die in vain. Fortunately, fortunately!"

Lu Chengqi sighed: "That's right, the common people in the world still can't have a full meal, it's because I haven't done enough!"

Xu Jingchun said hastily: "The emperor is wise and powerful, he must be a generation of Mingjun. This humble official is a big old man who doesn't understand government affairs, but this humble official can see that the emperor is loyal to the people."

Lu Chengqi sighed: "So what about a loyal heart? You don't understand!" He paused, and then continued: "Since the founding of the country by the will of heaven, Taizong and Wenzong's martial arts and governance have shocked the world. Yu Nian. But now, internal and external troubles, state affairs are in a mess, Xu Jingchun, you are a sensible person, and you can naturally see what kind of chaos the world has become! The people are hungry, and corrupt officials are singing and singing every night. How can this be called I don't feel bad!"

Xu Jingchun was so excited by Lu Chengqi's heartfelt words, he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty..."

Lu Chengqi waved his hand, let two lines of tears fall down his cheeks, and said emotionally: "Since I became the throne, I originally wanted to work hard to govern, clean up the government, and reorganize the army, but unexpectedly the treacherous ministers in the court were in power. As it decays day by day, I can do nothing but spend my time with playthings and entertainment. Who can know the pain in my heart? This country does not belong to the courtiers, of course they will not feel sorry for it, but this country was passed down by the Taizu. I have the responsibility to protect it, but the small and medium-sized people have high positions and powers, and I really can't do anything about it, I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

Hearing this, Xu Jingchun choked up and said: "Your Majesty, although I don't understand the truth, I still understand the matter of loyalty to the emperor. As long as the emperor gives an order, I will go through fire and water without a single complaint!"

Lu Chengqi said: "Xu Jingchun, Xu Jingchun, you are sensible, but don't the ministers in the court understand? The money they greedy has been enough for them to eat for dozens of lives, but they still want to be greedy! Damn, hate! "

"Xu Jingchun, let me ask you, do you think I am a foolish ruler or a wise ruler? To be honest, you must not lie. If you lie, your life will be lost!"

Xu Jingchun was taken aback, and murmured: "My minister... I thought that the emperor was a...faint king..."

Lu Chengqi said sadly: "I knew it..."

Xu Jingchun said hastily: "But now I know that the emperor is a rare wise king!"

Lu Chengqi smiled contemptuously: "Mingjun? I don't even have any power now, what about Mingjun? Xu Jingchun, you are the only person I can talk to now, don't let me down!"

Although Xu Jingchun was born in a poor family, after having experienced in the officialdom, he is no longer the kind of young man who doesn't understand anything. After hearing this sentence, he felt a chill in his heart, knowing that his chance had come.Whether he can be well-dressed or not depends on this fight.

Xu Jingchun only felt his blood rushing upwards, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The humble minister should be smashed to pieces, in order to repay the emperor's kindness. Anyone who wants to hurt the emperor must step over the corpse of the humble minister!"

Lu Chengqi quickly stood up, helped Xu Jingchun who was prostrate on the ground, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, I knew it, I saw the right person!"
