Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 288 Choice
He knew Luo Nan.

The financial power spans the Northern Qi and Dongying countries, and can even compete with the entire Northern Qi royal family.

Known as the richest son in the world.

And recently, this person is also well-known in Xiliang, because he once helped the little emperor to relieve disasters and disasters. Everyone does not know his identity and origin, and they only think that he is the son of a secret rich merchant family.

But he knew that the wealth behind this person should not be underestimated, but no matter how rich he was, he would not take it seriously.

This person cooperated with Shen Qingjiao to deal with them many times, and even wanted to put them to death several times.

They are so ruthless and pressing every step of the way, so he will not be merciful.

Back in the room, I saw Shen Qingli sitting in front of the window, with a quiet and peaceful side face, a little more calm and calm than when we first got married, and I like her like this, no matter what she becomes, he will always be the same He sees her as the love of his heart, and nothing can change that.

After he went out, Shen Qingli saw that the plum blossoms were blooming very well outside, so she asked Ran Mo to pick some and mix it with green tea to make a cup of plum tea. When Lu Huai came back, she hurriedly asked Ran Mo to bring the tea, "I brewed this just now. I read some medical books in Liyuan. It is recorded that plum blossoms are fragrant, with astringent taste and flat nature. It has the effect of soothing the liver and stomach. I want to brew it for you to taste."

Lu Huai picked up the cup and took a sip, nodded and said with a smile, "I never thought that A Li's skill in making tea is also good."

After taking a few sips, he put down his teacup and began to talk about what happened in the secret prison just now.

"The assassination was arranged by Luo Nan?" Shen Qingli thought of the noble son who often came to look for Shen Qingjiao back in prison at that time, but he didn't expect that he was also such a vicious person.

"The war in Xiliang has just subsided, and you haven't been in the Northern Qi Dynasty for long, and you have to ask about many things in the court. This Luo Nan can't bear it anymore. If he wants to attack you, he wants to see the chaos in Xiliang. willing?"

Lu Huai shook his head and said, "Luo Nan is not from Xiliang. What happens to Xiliang is not important to him at all. He won't take those things to heart. All he wants is our death."

Shen Qingli was suspicious. It turned out that Luo Nan was a foreigner. No wonder Xiliang was facing a national crisis at that time, but he didn't care. He just kept persuading the emperor to let him be executed as soon as possible. His purpose was only for her to get along with Lu Huai. Well, he and Shen Qingjiao are husband and wife, and Shen Qingjiao resented her to such an extent, so Luo Nan naturally did the same.

He has amazing wealth and mysterious background, so it is not easy to deal with such an enemy. Looking at Lu Huaiqi, he looked very relaxed, as if there was no difficulty, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually calmed down. believe him.

In the evening, Lu Huai sat up in the study, and a list was placed on his desk.

That list was the list of those who had disrespected Shen Qingli and insulted her during the time he left Xiliang, which he ordered Zhang Li to investigate. In addition, there were those who could not wait when he was away. A person who surrendered to the little emperor.

Most of the two groups of people are the same, he carefully read it several times, took out a cinnabar pen and began to comment on it one by one.

After annotating, he called Zhang Li, "This list is handed over to Ning Chi and Chai Zhan, and the people above asked them to deal with it according to my annotation."

Zhang Li took the list and saw that it was full of traces of cinnabar pens. The bright red color was as dazzling as fresh blood. He lowered his head and only replied, "Yes, master."

The fate of those people is their own fault. In the prison, on the city wall, when they treated Madam like that, they should have thought that there would be such a day in the future.

In the next few days, the entire Xiliang began to change drastically.

Many officials in the court were inexplicably imprisoned for some crimes. Among them, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, who was still recuperating in the mansion due to serious injuries, was also arrested, carried and taken to the Ouchi Prison .

The rest of the officials in the DPRK were frightened, for fear that they would also be imprisoned by Lu Huaiqi that day. They are glad that they chose the middle way and did not do anything unwise about Shen Qingli's matter, otherwise they will be imprisoned now. They are the ones in prison.

When the officials who were imprisoned met those officials who had expressed their loyalty to the little emperor with themselves, they were all full of shame and regret.But it was too late to repent. Some officials in the prison were holding out their hopes and yelled at the officials, saying that they would show their loyalty by seeing Nine Thousand Years Old, but no one paid any attention to them.

It is very difficult for anyone who enters here to go out again, besides, no one in the court knows Lu Huaiqi's temper, and his decision will never change.He will not be merciful to officials who have offended him.

Begging for mercy and making amends is of no use at all. If Lu Huaiqi could change his mind so easily, then he would not have so much blood on his hands. His iron-blooded wrist and ferocity have long been famous in Xiliang.

Not only the big officials in the court have undergone great changes, even the people around the little emperor in the palace have also undergone a major change.

One day, when the little emperor woke up, he called Mingchun with sleepy eyes to help him wash up, but when he saw that completely unfamiliar face, his sleepiness disappeared immediately. The little eunuch was not Mingchun at all. Surprised and angry, he questioned the little eunuch, "Who let you come into Gu's bedroom, next spring?"

The little eunuch immediately knelt down, but there was no real fear on his face. He replied, "Mingchun father-in-law has been sent out of the palace because of something wrong, and the servant was transferred here to serve you last night." The Emperor's."

After the little emperor heard it, he was about to ask him what Mingchun had committed, but he didn't know, but then he thought about Lu Huaiqi's actions in the court recently. He clearly eliminated dissidents as soon as he came back, and Mingchun was the person beside him. This calamity must be unavoidable, he felt exhausted all of a sudden, he sat back, looked at the little eunuch and raised his hand and said, "Get up, I know."

After the little eunuch thanked him, he began to serve him to freshen up. He also let the little eunuch come, thinking about the things that happened recently. Lu Huai decided that it was because of his abnormal behavior that he began to punish him, and his life would not be guaranteed in the future. Living is a problem, how can he still have the mood to ask about Mingchun's whereabouts, even if he asks, now that Lu Huai is here, he can't do anything.

After freshening up, he asked someone to ask, and found that all the confidantes around him had disappeared in the palace inexplicably, and the confidant officials in the court had also been convicted and imprisoned. Now he has no one to trust .

Lu Huaiqi destroyed the wall with a weak foundation that he had built up with great difficulty in an instant, turning him back into the original puppet emperor who was incapable and unable to do anything.

At first, he thought that as long as Lu Huaiqi died, he would be able to control the imperial power and become a real emperor, with the power of life and death in his hands, but later he found that it was not so easy to hold the lives of the people all over the country in his hands. When he didn't pay attention and brought the country into decline, and the lives of all the people in the city depended on him, and they were all hanging under the iron hooves of the Northern Qi monarch outside the city, he couldn't do anything and had no one to rely on. It's just that he found that he couldn't be a qualified emperor at all.

Now that Lu Huaiqi is back, he is the aloof Nine Thousand Years old again, and he has regained his status as the puppet emperor in an instant. Nothing seems to have changed, but he knows that after going through those things, he is no longer the one who was full of expectations. He is now a restless little emperor holding imperial power, and now he even feels that it is not a big deal if everything is as it is, that he cannot be a real emperor, and there is nothing wrong with being a puppet who does not care about political affairs.

After all, the people of Xiliang live and work in peace and contentment, and he doesn't have to face the situation where a powerful enemy invades him but is helpless. This is also a kind of stability.

Looking at the empty and desolate palace outside the palace, it's just that he is a bit lonely and desolate sitting in such a palace. Besides, he can be regarded as the person that many ordinary people are envious of.

A lonely family, talking about his current situation, it is not unfortunate that he is just an emperor who sits in the palace and enjoys inexhaustible wealth.

With a long sigh, he turned and entered the hall.

Because they no longer have to worry about being harassed by the flames of war, the people in Liangjing City and even the entire Xiliang have once again lived a stable life. Every day, the rooster crows and the sunset rests, doing some farm work to have enough food and clothing, and life gradually returns to the original state.

The cities that were originally occupied by the Northern Qi in Xiliang, such as Suchengyuancheng and Yucheng, have also been taken back by Lu Huaiqi's troops. These recovered lost territories have also begun to be rectified, and the situation in the city has gradually improved.

The whole of Xiliang is developing in a good direction. When the people mentioned Lu Huaiqi, they all praised too much. For them, the person who can let them live a peaceful life is a great hero, that is Someone worthy of their admiration.

What they need is a superior who can lead them to live a life of adequate food and clothing, not a fatuous and incompetent king who keeps them from being invaded by war.

In the teahouse, several scholars drank tea and chatted together. When they mentioned the great changes that had taken place in Liangjing City in recent days, they all sighed. All the disrespectful officials were imprisoned, and the little emperor, who was the son of heaven, turned into the puppet emperor without real power in a blink of an eye. I have to say that it is not unreasonable for Lu Huaiqi to achieve his current status. Well, that person can have such an ability. After returning to the court after feigning death, he consolidated his power in just a few days, and suppressed those forces that made trouble when he was away in the fastest and most violent way. down.

In the whole of Xiliang, only he, Lu Huaiqi, could do this kind of method.

The little emperor was too tender after all, Lu Huai never thought of him before.As a courtier with power all over the world, it is naturally easy for him to face a young emperor who has not yet grown his teeth.

It's just taking power and putting the emperor's power above the ground. After all, such behaviors are still done by courtiers.

But regardless of whether he is a courtier or not, this incident has made them see clearly that he is a person who can consolidate and maintain Xiliang in the final analysis.

Compared with the little emperor who does nothing, Xiliang naturally needs people like Lu Huaiqi more.
