back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 7
Xu Jingchun was moved to tears by Lu Chengqi's heart-to-heart confession, wishing he could dig out his heart on the spot to show his loyalty.Immediately said: "The emperor loves you so much, I can only repay you with death!"

Lu Chengqi pulled Xu Jingchun up with all his strength, and said with a smile: "There is no need to die, I have something that I need you to do."

Xu Jingchun said resolutely: "Your Majesty, please tell me, even if the humble minister is so heartbroken, I will definitely do it for the Emperor!"

Lu Chengqi said word by word: "I ask you, do you have a trustworthy confidant in the capital?"

Xu Jingchun was stunned for a moment, and just about to answer, Lu Chengqi continued: "It must be that kind of net worth, not to have anything to do with the ministers of the court."

Xu Jingchun thought for a while, and said, "I have many comrades, all of whom are in the frontier army, and their wealth is indeed innocent. It's a pity that they have no connections. Even if they have skills, they have nowhere to get promoted..." Suddenly, Xu Jingchun realized that Seeing that he had slipped his mouth, Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said, "I know what you said, you don't have to hold back, I just want to make up my mind to eradicate these cancers for Dashun."

Xu Jingchun slowly let go of his uneasy heart, and continued: "I have served as a lieutenant in the frontier army, and I have quite a few confidants."

Lu Chengqi said calmly, "Can you read? I want you to write down the names of these people so that they can be reused."

Xu Jingchun was overjoyed, and fell to the ground to bow again: "The emperor treats them like this, they must be loyal! It's just that my humble minister... is a rough person, and he knows a word or two, but he doesn't know much."

Lu Chengqi frowned, and said, "Well, you tell me, and I will write." After that, he picked up a Langhao pen, spread out a piece of rice paper, dipped the thick black ink on the inkstone, and wrote The next imperial decree: "Shangyu: The Yanmen Pass border army has made meritorious deeds in defending against the enemy, and it is said that the meritorious soldiers will return to Beijing to face the saint..."

Not long after, the imperial decree was drawn up, and after handing the imperial decree to Xu Jingchun, he said: "You have to do it yourself, and I don't feel at ease if you leave it to others. This matter concerns the world, and you must do it." Alright, otherwise, you can come back to see me with your head up! Also, don’t disturb the court ministers, and you have to disguise yourself along the way, do you understand what I mean?”

Although Xu Jingchun was honest, he was not a fool. Lu Chengqi said it so clearly, if he didn't realize it, it would be two hundred and five.Immediately made a poisonous oath: "I will live up to the emperor's great trust, if I can't do it well, I will come to see you!"

Lu Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief as if letting go of a concern, waved his hand wearily, and said, "Go down and do some work."

Xu Jingchun quit, looked back at the majestic imperial study room, wiped off his cold sweat, but he was full of pride, he knew that this time he was going to gamble, if the gamble was right, the glory and wealth of the rest of his life would be at his fingertips.He was like a spring breeze, with the wind blowing under his feet, he trotted out of the palace all the way, led a healthy horse, and went straight out of the city without even returning home.

At this moment, in the imperial study room, a young eunuch was reporting to Lu Chengqi: "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that Chief Guard Xu went straight to the outside of the city, and he didn't stay in the city for a moment."

Hearing this, Lu Chengqi's eyes burst into light, he waved his hand, and said, "Got it, you've done a good job, go to the inner treasury to get 50 taels of silver, and say it's my reward."

The little eunuch smiled and exited the imperial study respectfully.There was a smile on the corner of Lu Chengqi's mouth, and he said in his heart: "These days I have been inquiring about the structure of the court, and I have some experience. When Xu Jingchun turns around, I will have my own army. Hmph, you must first settle inside when fighting against the outside, these wormy rice Big bug, it's time to harvest!"

Outside the palace, at the grand master's mansion.

Grand Master Yang listened quietly to the report of the ear wires he planted in the palace, and when he heard that Xu Jingchun was ordered to go out of the city overnight, he paused while drinking tea, and said with a frown: "You mean that the little emperor summoned Xu Jingchun, who was stupefied?" Touqing, have you been talking inside for a long time?"

The servant (a type of eunuch position) standing bowed said: "Our family will definitely not be mistaken. The emperor summoned Chief Guard Xu and stayed in the imperial study for about three quarters of an hour. After entering the imperial study room, I went straight to the capital."

Before Taishi Yang could speak, a voice sounded from behind the screen: "Father, that ignorant little emperor must have found something interesting again, so he asked Xu Jingchun to buy it. Are you overwhelmed?"

As soon as the words fell, a noble young man with a shiny face came out from behind the screen, waved the servant to leave the room, and said: "You did a good job, go to the housekeeper to receive the reward!"

The servant didn't dare to stay any longer, so he resigned and left.Grand Master Yang took another sip of tea slowly, and said: "Although this is the case, you must be careful! Others don't know, but you still don't know? Everyone thinks that Grand Master is beautiful, but they don't know how dangerous it is. If one If you are not careful, you will be doomed!"

Your son smiled and said, "Even if the little emperor wakes up now, it's too late. Who would dare not listen to father's words among the officials in the court?"

Grand Master Yang frowned, and said: "Others are fine, but that old man, he will never give up fighting against this old man!"

Your son smiled and said: "That old man Xu Chongguang is a stubborn donkey, why are you angry? However, he is in charge of the household department, which has caused a lot of trouble for Dad."

Grand Master Yang sighed and said: "It is considered that he is capable, without him, the Dashun dynasty would be half collapsed. If not, how could the old man keep him until now? But after the little emperor got seriously ill, it seemed that he really changed his person. Is it a sign of coming to power?"

The noble son said: "Father, don't worry, the regular court will be in four days, and then you will know what the little emperor is planning."

Taishi Yang put down the teacup and said, "That's the only way."

"Daddy, it's late at night, you can go back and rest. Leave the court affairs to those bad old men."

Grand Master Yang sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm going to rest first."

Your son sent Grand Master Yang to the dormitory, then flipped open the folding fan, and said to Mingyue: "Little Emperor, if you are a foolish emperor, that's all right. If you want to take power, hmph, then don't blame my subordinates for being unforgiving!"

The moonlight is like water, but the place where the moonlight cannot shine is as dark as ink...

The next day, when Lu Chengqi woke up at Chenshi, he was informed that Xu Chongguang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was out to see him.Lu Chengqi frowned. It took five or six days to travel through time, but he had never seen an official so dedicated.Lu Chengqi thought: "Could this be the legendary loyal minister?"

He almost couldn't bear to "eat" Zhou Zhiruo last night, endured it so hard that he almost didn't sleep all night.It's no wonder that he is too weak now, but at the age of 16, he seems to be blown down by the wind.Besides, Zhou Zhiruo is only 15 years old, and having sex now is simply disregarding human life.For the sake of himself and his wife, Lu Chengqi still held back.

After being washed and washed by the maids, Lu Chengqi went to the imperial dining room for breakfast, remembering that the household minister was still waiting for him, so he ordered: "Please Xu Qing follow me to the imperial dining room."
