Chapter 16 Excavation(1/2)
Lin Fengjin glanced at Lu Yu at this time, let out a long breath, and whispered with a complicated expression:
"I would like to pay my respects to my ancestors first."
Lu Yu nodded silently.
At this time, many thoughts had gone through Lin Fengjin's mind. He had been in a low mood today and had a smoldering feeling in his chest. In fact, it had nothing to do with Lu Kang's death, but it was due to the strong frustration that his plan had been completely shattered.
It feels like the conspiracy of the previous Emperor Wei was already in full swing.
I tried my best, but I still lost again!
Fear comes from the unknown. The panic in Lin Fengjin's heart lies in not knowing what will happen next. Based on the previous series of arrangements and conspiracies made by the David Dynasty, inferring that the subsequent events will probably be earth-shattering.
ah!
At this time, hearing that Lu Yu was going to summon him alone, Lin Fengjin immediately thought that Lu Yu was not hard-hearted after all, and the guilt caused by his father's murder would torture him all the time, making him extremely painful.
However, the cronies and others around him, even his wife and children, were even accomplices in promoting his patricide. Lu Yu was filled with complicated emotions and could not tell them anything. And this kind of private scandal in the Tian family
, and it is even more forbidden to tell outsiders. If it spreads, it will be a huge scandal!
Therefore, the only person he could ask to talk to was Lin Fengjin. It was very uncomfortable for a person to hold his words in his heart for too long, let alone someone like Lu Yu who was in a high position and was under great pressure.
Lin Fengjin was a person who was good at changes. He immediately felt that he had been depressed for a day. At this time, he should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get some benefits for himself. After he assessed the situation, he went to help the dead Lu
Kang burned the paper, put on the incense, and then knelt on the ground to brew his emotions. Then he let tears flow down his face, fell to the ground and cried bitterly, shouting Lu Kang's name loudly, saying that he was sorry for him.
Lin Fengjin's cry immediately aroused the complex emotions in Lu Yu's chest, and his whole body was trembling. After a while, he finally burst out and roared:
"Why are you crying! What do you have to cry about!"
Lin Fengjin raised his red eyes and said sadly:
"It was me who harmed the late emperor! It was me!! After I knew the secret that day, I shouldn't have told anyone at all. Instead, I kept it rotten in my belly. As a result, it has ended up like this. Your Highness, you have a huge burden on your back.
For his sins, I, Northern Qi, also lost Mingjun in pain."
Hearing the word "sin", Lu Yu felt as if he had been pricked by a red-hot needle. He jumped up and roared:
“What sin do I have, what sin do I have?”
When he spoke, his voice was already vibrating. He was obviously very excited. The emotions included anger, excitement, and even some pain! And Lu Yu's look was even more out of character. Like a wounded beast,
They almost had to choose someone to eat! Hearing Lu Yu's shout, the guards outside were startled and almost rushed in immediately. However, Eunuch Cui calmly stopped them back.
Lu Yu's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes and he said word by word:
"When my mother died, she wanted to take a sip of honey water but was unable to get it. Where was she at that time? I grew up as a pawn and survived seven or eight times. Once I was so hungry that I could only eat the honey from the wound.
Maggot, where was he at that time?? I climbed up from below little by little, but in the end I got the title of bastard!!"
As Lu Yu spoke, he strode in the hall, like a wounded and furious beast, waving his long sleeves and speaking faster and faster.
"I have been fighting for Da Qi for decades, expanding the territory, but I still have to be plotted against my back! The old guy promised me to make me the prince as long as I let that bastard go, but in the end he came back and rebuilt the Flying Leopard.
The army came to restrain the snake-eating army that was fighting against me. On the surface, they were going to escape the summer heat and let me supervise the country. In fact, they were discussing how to restrain the power in my hands!"
"Both my mother and I were seriously ill more than once. The old man never looked at us. As soon as something happened to Lv Xian, who was of low moral character and colluded with monsters, he rushed back in a hurry. Hey! These are father and son.
This is the feeling of licking a calf!!”
Lu Yu spoke faster and faster later, and Lin Fengjin couldn't even understand it. But to be honest, Lu Yu's words were not necessarily meant for Lin Fengjin, but for himself.
Strengthen your confidence! In fact, in Lin Fengjin's view, it would not be the case if Lu Kang did not take care of Lu Yu. Otherwise, how could Lu Yu be promoted so quickly? And the status of Lu Yu and his mother was indeed humble. At that time,
Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Lu Kang not to take him seriously.
As for the power struggle between the two, it goes without saying. The king will always subconsciously defend the rights in his hands, and Lv Kang is slowly giving in. As for Lv Kang being so concerned about Lv Xian,
That's because he knew that what Lu Xian had committed was too big. If he hesitated for a moment, he might die. A father is always unwilling to watch his son die, so it was understandable that he rushed back quickly.
........
Of course, Lin Fengjin did not say these words. The most suitable person for him to play at this time is a listener, a listener who does not need to talk. This is the person Lu Yu needs most at this time.
Lu Yu continued to sneer:
"There is no family affection in the Tian family. Hey, I am really naive. Once I start fighting for the big position, I am destined to be alone and there is no way back. Lin Fengjin, I know you are very dissatisfied in your heart and feel that I have got your secret.
You can use it to kill your father in the blink of an eye, but this opportunity is fleeting. In the fight for power, you may only have one chance. If you miss it, you will miss it forever."
"Qian Zhen, Prince Wu of the previous dynasty, was famous, talented, had military power, and had great strategies. However, when he gave in before the great throne, he ended up being a minister forever, and even died in misery. The lonely (Lu Yu should have called himself me)
He has just ascended the throne and has not yet had time to change his tune.) It is nothing more than a single person. If a man dies, his ears will be dead, and he can be regarded as having a carefree life in the world. However, at this time, he is also full of branches and leaves, supporting a world, as if he were dead.
, the wife and children will be slaves, and they will be raped and humiliated, and the loyal people who run under the lonely door will also be slaughtered!!"
"Not to mention anything else, but let's talk about you, Lin Fengjin. If you are defeated, do you think Donglin Academy can protect you? You, a mere scholar, dare to incite a mob to besiege the Duke's Mansion. This crime is Ling Chi's.
The three Yi tribes! Not only are you going to die, your whole family, including Zuo Boxiong’s family, are going to die together! The rest are all slaves!”
When Lu Yu said this, his mood was agitated, he shouted loudly, and slapped the table in front of him. The things on the altar table immediately fell with clatter, and all the incense burners and bowls were smashed to pieces. He
His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he slowly said after a long time:
"Lin Fengjin, if you compare yourself with others, if you were in a lonely position, what would you do? What could you do?"
Lin Fengjin also made up his mind at this time, and with the principle that talking too much will lead to failure, he just listened and did not speak, and remained silent.
Lu Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly:
"That's right. Gu did it right! Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. No matter in terms of talent or merit, Gu is more suitable to be the king of Northern Qi than anyone else. Gu is worthy of his ancestors. He will definitely be able to unify the Central Plains.
Achieve the imperial hegemony. Old man, I really owe you this, so I will leave your two good-for-nothing sons alive. I want you to watch from the ground as to how I can dominate the country!"
In fact, Lu Yu was just trapped in the knot of "patricicide". All kinds of complex emotions were tangled together and there was no way to express them. Now after he vented his heart out in front of Lin Fengjin, he immediately strengthened his beliefs.
, his eyes became firm again. After gasping for air for a while, he shouted loudly:
"Someone is coming!!"
This time he took the initiative to call, and Eunuch Cui led the people in. When he saw the broken altar table and the mess on the ground, he was really shocked. Even if this kind of thing happened during ordinary people's wake, it would be shocking.
It is quite unlucky, and you will be accused of being unfilial, not to mention the Huanghuang Tian family, who want face the most?
However, Eunuch Cui and these guards were very dignified and pretended not to notice, waiting for him to stand by. Lu Yu simply pointed to the ground and said:
"Clean up this place for me, and don't let anyone reveal it to the outside world!"
Everyone immediately bowed to accept the order. Lu Yu thought of something again and suddenly said:
"By the way, prepare a banquet for me. I want roasted leg of lamb and roasted knives."
Eunuch Cui smiled bitterly and said:
"Saint, it is still a period of national mourning, so you have to become vegetarian. Once the Ministry of Rites finds out, there will be a lot of talk."
Lu Yu waved his hand impatiently and said:
"If no one tells it, how can there be any talk? Is this palace a sieve? The news inside is just poured out?"
Lu Yu had said what he said, what could the rest of the people do? They had no choice but to take the order and go out. There was also a palace maid standing next to her. When she heard the order for a banquet, she ran to the palace behind as fast as she could.
The message was naturally for the newly promoted queen. The little palace maid stuck out her tongue and patted her chest and said:
"What a pity, Your Majesty is finally willing to have a meal. By the way, Madam, I see that the young master in the palace is just an ordinary man. He doesn't even wear an official uniform. He only wears a scholar's square scarf. How can he be so handsome?"
Your Majesty, did you ask for food?"
The queen still knew something about Lin Fengjin. When she heard that Lu Yu was willing to eat, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I still know a little bit about the person you are talking about. I have met him many times in the palace. This person can be said to be talented. He has a deep friendship with you. I have met him several times.
He has been through life and death, and is quite open-minded and upright. He has the style of the ancients. I would like to remind you slaves first that although this man is young and only has the reputation of being a scholar, if you really regard him as a scholar,
Then I’m afraid I don’t even know how I died!”
The eunuchs and slaves next to them listened to the queen's words and secretly remembered it in their hearts. People who don't wink at each other will not live long in the palace. What's more, this person has the queen's personal advice?
***
After waiting for only a moment, the banquet was sent directly to the Houde Hall of the guest mourning hall. Lu Yu had been hungry all day and wolfed down the food. But halfway through the meal, he probably recalled some past events and was silent for a while.
, suddenly filled a glass of wine, and then poured it in front of Lu Kang's memorial tablet. Then he sat alone in silence for a while, and then said to Lin Fengjin:
"I heard that your family has been passed down for three generations?"
Lin Fengjin had no choice but to answer at this time, so he nodded and said:
"yes."
Lu Yu said:
"Then the relationship between you and your father must be good, right?"
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Majesty, my father's temper is quite irritable, so harmony is out of the question, but parents all over the world should have the same love for their children."
Lu Yu snorted coldly, but suddenly said:
"Do you have any unfinished business or unfulfilled wishes?"
To be honest. After Lu Yu asked this question, Lin Fengjin's heart suddenly tightened, and a thought flashed through his heart:
To be continued...
