Chapter 110: Conquering the crowd by force and winning by ingenuity
The next day, Lu Jue's reign began. He knew that the road on the first day would not be easy. He got up early before dawn, had some breakfast, changed into the prince's court robes, and when he arrived at the Fengtian Palace, he got off the sedan chair and before he could walk to the hall gate, he heard the discussion of him in the court. He whispered and turned this place to discuss national affairs into a morning market for buying groceries by pound.
After hearing all this, Yang Wei turned his head and watched Lu Jue's expression, but he looked calm and unremitting. He asked more: "Your Highness, should you stop me?"
Lu Jue raised his eyebrows and said as usual: "No need, listen, this kind of truth is hard to hear!"
Yang Wei didn't say anything else, retreated to Lu Jue's side, but always paid attention to his expression changes.
"Oh, I really don't know what Your Majesty thinks. Your Majesty still has six sons, so why did he choose him. Even his mentors can do it, let alone those who offend him."
"Whether he is the position of the crown prince is really approved by His Majesty. After he returned to the capital, he first put His Majesty on the emperor under house arrest. This surveillance must be approved by His Majesty under coercion!"
Just when there were many different opinions, one person spoke out to stop him. The person who made the voice was a year old: "The person standing here either held high positions or royal relatives. All adults had the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and they were not knowledgeable. They were just like women and children, so they were not afraid of hearing from the walls. If they were spread to the emperor's ears by troublesome people, they would be afraid that you would have a thousand mouths to explain it!"
The person who speaks is nothing else, the old prince Zhu Chengzhi. The old prince is the emperor's uncle, the founding emperor and the second son of the Queen Sheng'an. Because of his experience when he was young, he saw through everything and stayed away from the court early. If it weren't for the new prince's first reign and the Wei clan was in power, he was worried that the palace would cause another storm, he would not have come out to meddle in other people's business.
Zhu Chengzhi was the only living child of the founding emperor. When he was young, he had made many merits and fame. Although he had been away from the court for several years, he was still quite majestic. At this time, he intended to favor Lu Jue. Those grandchildren and court officials had to consider whether they had such a large amount of capital, so he shut up obediently.
But just as the court officials retreated to their original position and waited for the morning court with peace of mind, someone was unwilling to be outdone and hit the gun. The man then said, "The emperor is ill and confused, and the old prince is old and dazzling. But we court officials cannot follow us and make things confused. Most of the princes are capable. The origin of the surname Lu is unknown. How can we tolerate the court Gang falling to him?"
Zhu Chengzhi glanced at this person with displeasure and said unhappy: "It seems that the uncle of the country is questioning the decision made by the royal family. Since you are dissatisfied with the royal family's appointment, don't you know if the uncle has a suitable candidate?"
The uncle looked arrogant and said without taking anyone's attention: "Of course, it is the most suitable son under the Queen."
The Empress Wei was a descendant of a country. Although the son under her name was adopted, it was legitimate. There were also some accomplices in the court of the Wei family. In addition, Lu Jue's identity is still questioned, and the uncle's suggestion was supported by many people.
Zhu Chengzhi did not turn too much with him and said directly: "King Xiao was mellow and indecisive. He made him the crown prince. In the future, he would be easily influenced by others. How many lessons have passed, Zhu Rui is the most inappropriate candidate!"
The meaning is not clear, but as long as you use your brain, you will understand the meaning of the old prince. He wants to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics.
But this uncle was a martial artist, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the country and was still arrogant: "The late emperor founded the country and governed the country with kindness and filial piety, and the prince outside the world would inevitably lack family affection. I am afraid that the old prince would compete for him for a merit, but he would end up with the Luo King."
Whether it is protective or suspicious, Lu Jue, who was standing outside the hall, could hear clearly, and his face gradually changed. It made people see that he lowered his head and stroked the scars in his palms and asked: "Who is the one who confronted the old prince? Why haven't I seen him in the court for several years?"
Yang Wei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "He is not in the capital, so the Crown Prince has never seen him. He is the eldest brother of the Queen, Wei Han, who is not granted the title of Luoyang King and the Queen."
Lu Jue curled his lips and said, "So he is the famous uncle. It's really better to meet him than to be famous!"
Yang Wei tilted his head and looked inside the hall, deliberately reminding him: "He came to the capital when His Majesty was seriously ill and could not control the court. He relied on the majesty of the empress to act recklessly in the court. The Wei family secretly controlled the government affairs and always ignored the court's court's court's etiquette. No one in the court did not complain. If the prince wanted to establish majesty in the court, he would make good use of it."
The same thing is said, Lu Jue has decided to do something without anyone reminding him, but more than one person reminds him in his ears. In addition to being irritated in his heart, he will naturally think more about the intentions of these people. An ordinary person will think more about it, let alone, like him in an embarrassment, a person who is always being plotted against. It seems that someone wants to use him as a gun this time.
Lu Jue looked at him and regained his expression, "Go to court!" He raised his chin and signaled that Yang Wei would come to drink.
He did not agree or refuse, so Yang Wei hesitated for a while before he could step forward a few steps in front of the hall, and shook the dust and whispered loudly: "Your Highness the Prince is here."
With a loud shout, the court, which was just like a downtown city, has returned to quiet at this time. Except for the old prince Zhu Chengzhi and the Luoyang King Wei Han, everyone knelt down and saluted. Among them, there are those who are unwilling to give in; there are those who are false, even though they know that this position belongs sooner or later, they will still be sad.
Lu Jue came to the hall and stood high. At first glance, people were all clear in their eyes. True feelings and false thoughts were placed on everyone's faces. It was not that everyone was not scheming and was afraid of being seen, but that ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi made people sigh that life was impermanent. More than two months ago, they were called together in the same dynasty, but now they are kings and ministers. Lu Jue couldn't help but feel funny. He withdrew his gaze and sat sideways on the chair on the side of the dragon chaise, raised his hand and waved it to everyone. When everyone got up, he spoke a few words: "I don't understand many political affairs for the first time. I hope that all your family will work harder."
"If you don't have the ability, don't be embarrassed and conspicuous in this hall. Your family just treats ignorance as if you are seen by foreigners. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the country?" Just when everyone was about to respond to the situation, someone came to ask for bad luck, and this person was either someone else, his uncle Wei Han.
Lu Jue looked at him, frowned slightly, pretending to be ignorant and asked, "I am a clumsy prince, how dare you ask who you are?"
Wei Han smiled unrestrainedly and raised his neck and said, "You are still in the capital for several years, but you don't even know me. You are really stupid! Now the King of Japan will tell you that this child is Wei Han, the King of Luoyang who is in the court for military achievements."
"So it's Uncle Wei!" Lu Jue stood up and raised his hand and arched: "Nephew Zhu Rui is polite." It doesn't matter if he is raising a kinship, and he is inevitably considered to be selfless and white-faced Yan Luo. In order to gain status, he also bullies the weak and fears the strong. But things have changed, and his next words make people hear it. "Isn't the King of Luoyang dominating the country, and he wants to live a free life? During the holidays, he couldn't even invite a sedan chair. His Majesty then had his spare time and began to learn from the women in the city to discuss the affairs in the court."
Unexpectedly, the King of Luoyang did not speak this time, but Zhu Chen spoke first: "Don't talk about others, but think about yourself more! You have a good way to handle the lawsuit, but this court will not solve the case, and it is not something that can be handled properly by relying on your little cleverness. It is a small matter to be embarrassed, and it is a sin to insult the national system!"
Lu Jue glanced at him with a squint eyes, slowly descended to the steps, hugged him with fists, and asked in his words: "I felt that nothing was difficult, but after the prince said this, he really felt like a frog in the well. He had a short-sighted understanding and wonder what good plans the prince had?"
Zhu Chen glanced at him and sneered: "That is abdication and giving up the wise."
Lu Jue frowned and said with annoyance: "The prince doesn't know that he doesn't want to cause criticism in this court, but His Majesty the Emperor insists on his own initiative to hand over the affairs of the court to me. I am going to court with fame and fame and I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty. Although I have limited ability, I should do my best to repay Your Majesty's kindness so that I can live up to the holy grace. But all the lords and princes doubt my ability? People are afraid of their words and do not want to take care of their leisure time, but with the emperor's will, it is difficult for me to handle this position of supervising the country. The prince will ask the emperor to be relieved, so that I can be idle." As he said that, he bowed to Zhu Chen, turned around and walked out.
Previously, King Luo controlled the government affairs, but now he was rectified. When the princes thought that he had hoped to ascend the throne, Zhongzong suddenly fell seriously ill and could not handle the court. However, he did not appoint other trustworthy princes, but issued an order to summon Lu Jue to return the court. None of these princes and princes did not hold their breath, and they all waited for him to make a mistake, so that they could sue him in front of the emperor to get rid of his title of prince.
But no one expected that he would keep a hand and refused everyone's visit on the grounds that His Majesty the Emperor had to rest as he was sick. Not to mention that the prince even had to tell him in advance if he wanted to meet the emperor. If he did not agree to see the emperor, it would be even more difficult.
At this time, he said this, which was obviously a difficult task. Fortunately, Zhu Chen was not stupid enough. After hearing this, he turned his face to Lu Jue on the spot, pointing to his back and said unstoppable: "Treacherous, you have already banned your father. The Empress will have to be allowed to meet you. What's your intention to ask me to plead with you!"
As soon as Zhu Chen finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Jue, and even the old prince who had just been upright seemed to be waiting for his defense.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Han made a furious fire and said, "Yes! The prince left like this, isn't he afraid of being suspicious? The country is endless, and no one yearns for it? Although the prince is one step closer, he is unwilling to be named after this. If you want to be honest and convinced, you should be convinced."
Lu Jue, who stopped, turned around and sighed: "The reputation has been established. No matter what explanation I explain at this time, it will probably be difficult to convince people. I ask the King of Luoyang, I don't know what my nephew will do to make you convince."
Wei Han snorted and said, "The prince's literary talent is to convince the public, but if you want to do this high position, you are afraid that it will not work. The founding emperor, the late emperor, and the current emperor, even if the prince is not both civil and military, if you can win the martial arts battle, you can convince everyone, what?"
Lu Jue smiled and frowned and said, "I have only heard of conquering people with virtue, but now I want to conquering people with martial arts. Well, how does the King of Luoyang want to compete with me?" He agreed without thinking.
Everyone in the court knew what kind of body he was. Although he stood here like a good person at this moment, he might be a dead person in the next moment. It is obvious that he was killed by conquering people with martial arts. He agreed without regard for the consequences whether he was really capable or was agitated. Everyone couldn't help but feel worried about him.
Without waiting for others to stop him, Jiang Huan came out first and said angrily: "You know that the Crown Prince is a scholar and you still have this competition, which is obviously unfair!"
Zhu Chen pulled the people away and scolded: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has already agreed, and you are still trying to stop him. Could it be that you want Your Highness to break the trust of others?"
"You" haven't waited for Jiang Huan to speak
Lu Jue stepped forward and stopped him, smiled confidently, patted his arms and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, but don't tell my sister about what she is doing today, so as not to worry about unnecessary worries." He turned his head to look at Wei Han, raised his hand and said, "Please!"
He was so easily attacked, and it seemed that his intelligence was just that. Wei Han said proudly: "The prince is so brave, so that everyone will not say that I am unfair. I will compete with you personally. As long as you can beat me, I will not dare to say anything more irrelevantly."
"A word is determined, and I will destroy it if the prince makes a move." Faced with the unknown end, Lu Jue still agreed with confidence without knowing his fear.
Wei Han was born in a military general and was not afraid of martial arts tests. Although he tried his best to maintain it, he still couldn't hide his compliment. In order to block others' mouths, he had to keep his demeanor as much as possible. In order to prevent others from saying anything, he had to find someone who could convince people. Zhu Chan naturally became the best choice. "Some people say that I bully the young, so King Xiao will witness it. He is the son of the queen, and no one will criticize him if he testifies."
Lu Jue turned his head and looked at Zhu Chan, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the prince is interested."
Zhu Chan was not shy and agreed immediately: "Since you don't dislike me, I will take it as yourselves." He walked forward two steps: "You two are divided into three games. As long as one of you can win two games, you will win. As long as the other party wins, the other party can't have any complaints, can you?"
At this time, no one understood it. This is because these people had already dug a trap and were waiting for Lu Jue to jump inside. Jiang Huan looked at Lu Jue anxiously, and his eyes all showed his inner concerns at this moment.
Lu Jue swept away the expressions of everyone and said cheerfully: "Okay, one word is determined, and a high-five is an oath." He raised his hand and reached out to Wei Han.
Wei Han looked at Lu Jue with such overestimating his abilities, and snorted and raised his hand to slap him.
After everything was settled, Zhu Chen walked forward and said, "The first game is a hundred steps to penetrate the Yangyang. As long as you are within a hundred steps, shoot the bull's eye outside the hall, whoever wins." He looked back at the two of them and said, "I wonder if you have any doubts?"
In order to convince people and to show how fair he is, Wei Han said generously: "The prince is not good at martial arts, and I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you can draw the arrow and shoot the arrow, you will win regardless of whether you can shoot it."
Lu Jue did not refuse any more and bowed to him and thanked him: "Then I would like to thank the King of Luoyang for his wishes. Elders are the first to ask for it."
Wei Han glanced at him lightly and raised his hand to greet him: "Get my bow and arrow." When the people brought the bow and arrow, they picked it up without saying a word and pulled the bow. They pulled the bow with force and hit the red heart with one shot, which immediately won the joy of the whole house.
Wei Han laughed a few times, turned around and handed the arrow to Lu Jue, laughing at him: "It's okay to use my bow and arrow."
Lu Jue replied, took the bow and arrow and looked up and down, carefully looked at the patterns, and after a moment, he praised lightly: "What a good bow." After looking at Wei Han's proud look, he curled the corners of his mouth and continued: "The way to take the stem is seven: zhe is the best, followed by ginger, followed by mulberry, followed by orange, followed by papaya, followed by jing, and lower bamboo. When I look at this bow pattern, it should be a superior wood, and the tough range of the bow string should be within three hundred meters. The human bow can reach this range is considered an excellent product."
The book of Bow and Arrow has few records, so he can't help but say that he has read thousands of books, and everyone should not sigh at his erudition.
Wei Han said disdainfully: "What I learned from books is just a class show of skills, and I can't count it in the competition."
Lu Jue caught the weight of the bow and smiled and said, "The weight is OK, I can try it." As soon as he put the arrow on, someone stopped him.
"Wait." Liu Fuling came with a copper basin in his hand and two eunuchs carrying high-legged coffee tables.
Lu Jue lowered his face and scolded: "You are getting more and more unruly. Are you not going to be able to distinguish them anytime? Don't you know I'm in the morning court now."
When he arrived in front of Lu Jue, Liu Fuling apologized to everyone, and then said, "Sorry, my master is in poor health. Let him take the medicine soup first, which will not be delayed." After that, he turned around and asked the eunuch to put down the high-legged coffee table, put the copper basin on and said, "I know you are busy with business and have no time. You don't take your body seriously, but we servants must be concerned. Your fingers have just been connected and have not been cured in less than a hundred days. Before leaving, the young lady repeatedly told me to take good care of you, so she would dare to enter the court. As long as you soak the potion, I will leave immediately." She raised her eyebrows gently, and pointed to the potion in the copper basin in an unaware way.
Zhou Ruoshui was Lu Jue's trump card for all his anger, and it was a test of all his anger. Lu Jue changed his temper and smiled and said, "Why do you have to be so nagging? I just soak it, why do you have to move the water out?" Yang Wei, who handed the bow and arrow in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and soaked his hands in the potion.
The scar that penetrated his palms was particularly obvious when he stretched out his hands, which made Zhu Chan, who was standing in front of him, look particularly dazzling. He hurriedly asked: "I have heard that King Luo has imposed punishment on His Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be that the injury on his hand is?"
Lu Jue disagreed and smiled: "It's okay and he's a little hurt."
Liu Fuling was displeased when she heard this, twisted her mouth and muttered: "What a small injury, you know that you have suffered and swallowed it in your stomach. Even if you almost lost your life, it would be a trivial matter! You were almost killed by King Luo for the sake of the country. It would be fine if you couldn't get affirmation, but you still have to,,,,,,,,,.”
"What are you chewing on the tongue again? It's all the past." He took the handkerchief and wiped his hands. After taking the bow and arrow, he set his bow and aimed at the red heart. With the sound of the arrow string, Lu Jue not only pulled the bow and arrow away, but also shot the red heart directly.
He was a civil servant who would shoot the bull's eye and everyone was shocked, because they thought Lu Jue could not pull the bow.
Jiang Huan, who was very surprised, pulled Liu Fuling aside and asked quietly: "I have not been together for a long time with the prince, why don't I know that the prince can punch and kick it."
Liu Fuling looked at him and smiled and revealed the secret in a low voice: "How could he do any martial arts? It's just that when he was young, he practiced bows and arrows while he was in good health. My young master was smart. Although he could practice for half a year, he could pass through a hundred steps, so it would be no problem to hit the bull's eye at such a distance."
Jiang Huan suddenly said, "So that's it, the prince is indeed hidden."
Liu Fuling sighed, "What? He just has a lot of mind, but this is not the case that he encountered. He either died or was injured. If he didn't have much mind, he would not live today."
Jiang Huan said meaningfully: "It makes sense."
Although Wei Han was unwilling to accept his face, he had to admit it in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "The prince is indeed hidden, I admire him." He bowed his hand like a perfunctory one.
Lu Jue smiled and handed the bow and arrow back to Wei Han and said, "Take a good bow."
Wei Han snorted, and with force, he even broke the bow and arrow.
Zhu Chan looked at him strangely. His eyes were not worried, but disappointed. Although he tried his best to hide it, he still felt strange. After a moment, he changed his expression and said, "The prince won the first game." He waved his hand and two men came up from one side of the store. These two men were eight feet tall, and the dragon spirit and tiger were intimidating. He pointed at the two of them and stretched out two fingers to continue, "The prince won the second game of fist competition, so as to avoid the prince being injured by accident. As long as the prince can avoid ten moves, the prince won."
As soon as Zhu Chan finished speaking, the two of them rushed towards Lu Jue in a storm. The posture was not about to stop, but about to take his life. Seeing that posture, everyone couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and Lu Jue's weak appearance could dodge a few moves.
Just as everyone was sweating for him, Lu Jue was not panicked, stepped back two steps and stepped on his legs. He stretched out his hands to use the "four ounces of pounds" in Tai Chi to solve the force and resolved the moves of the two. He successfully avoided the first move of the two, and successfully hid behind the two. Just when the two had not recovered, he raised his hand and slapped the two behind them, and the two of them collapsed on the ground like a pool of mud.
Everyone couldn't help but stare at the shock, and Wei Han couldn't say a single word: "This, this,,,,,,,"
Zhu Chan glanced at the two of them who were lying on the ground, thought for a moment, and seemed unwilling to continue the competition. Regardless of whether Wei Han agreed or not, he announced the result directly: "The prince won the second game. Since the prince won two games, there is no need to compete in the remaining last game."
Wei Han stepped in front of Lu Jue and asked vigorously: "When did you learn martial arts?"
Lu Jue smiled and said, "After entering Dali Temple, business is full of mountains. I am worried that my body will not be able to handle it. I have learned Tai Chi with Taoist Master Chongxu for two years. Although I can't live with the masters, it is still acceptable to strengthen my body."
Wei Han pointed to the two men lying on the ground and said, "What's going on with them? What kind of moves do you use."
"It's just a trick of eagle. I have to thank my good memory. I remember one or two of the hundreds of acupuncture points on a person who has become a good doctor for a long time." As he said that, he bent down, touched the two of them, and raised his hand and added two acupuncture needles to his hands.
Zhu Chengzhi, who was standing on one side, said sincerely: "Smart!"
Then, the others kept boasting.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chen shouted: "Since you are using fraud!"
Wei Han, who was unwilling to look down on Lu Jue, grabbed the collar of his chest and said angrily: "You dare to fool me."
Lu Jue was not afraid at all and said with a righteous spirit: "If there is no wisdom, Jiang Shang, how could he assist the Western Zhou Dynasty and achieve a century-old foundation? If there is no wisdom, how could Zhuge Kongming borrow arrows by a boat, how could he deceive Sima Yi by using an empty city plan? If there is no wisdom, even if the former emperor can conquer this ten thousand miles of country, he may not be able to defend it. Wuke should conquer the city but rely on wisdom to maintain the country. If there is no wisdom, how could the country last for a hundred years? To determine the country with wisdom, govern the country with wisdom, and to conquer people with virtue, the way to be a king is to be based on the people. To conquer people with martial arts will only make people dissatisfied!"
The wonderful victory of Lu Jue in the morning battle, although some sub-schemings were disgraceful, they achieved very good results. No matter whether these people were sincere or false at this time, at least the endless discussion was well suppressed.
