"Teacher, will I send you back?"
The official behind Wen Cifu asked.
"I want to go to the imperial prison," Wen Cifu suddenly said.”
His student was silent for a while. He did not say anything and followed behind him.
When the two of them arrived at the imperial prison, the jailers guarding the imperial prison did not dare to stop them.
After all, Wen Cifu was an ordinary person, not to mention that he had a good reputation and was an elder of three dynasties.
Wen Cifu walked in alone.
He looked at the environment of the imperial prison.
However, he was still trapped in a small world.
He saw Lu Yu sitting steadily on the stone bed.
The young man who was dressed in fresh clothes and riding a horse when he left the capital had now grown into a real man.
Wen Cifu stood quietly outside the railing with his head lowered. No one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Yu shook the straw in his hand and said casually,""Esteemed guest has arrived."
"Unfortunately, forgive me for not being able to entertain you."
"I once thought of saving you," Wen Cifu suddenly said.”
Lu Yu smiled indifferently.”
Wen Cifu suddenly became anxious. He paced back and forth in front of the cell.
"I…I once thought of saving you.”
"But in the Great Zhou, its surname is Zhou!”
"Your Lu family is too popular! This is only a matter of time."
"Your father and I have talked about this before.”
"I advised him to bring you back to the fields.”
"He said that as long as His Majesty allows him to stay in the northern border for a day, his Lu family will fight for a day.”
"He knows too."
"Wen Cifu, what's the use of you coming here and telling me this?" Lu Yu interrupted him.”
Wen Cifu muttered,"Useless."
"It's indeed useless."
Lu Yu chuckled and said mercilessly,""What's wrong? Now you realize that the emperor you are loyal to is not worth your life?”
Wen Cifu looked at Lu Feng, and his lips moved.
"No, I'm loyal to the Zhou Consortium."
"Even if His Majesty is muddle-headed, the Zhou clan has produced many talents.”
"Only they can protect our Great Zhou.”
Lu Yu laughed again as if he had heard a joke.
"Why don't you guess why the Great Zhou Imperial Family didn't replace Emperor Yuan Tai?”
Wen Cifu's eyes were wide open, and his breathing was a little hurried.
"Not yet."
Lu Yu looked at him with pity.
"The heavens and earth are heartless and treat all living things as straw dogs.”
"You are just a chess piece of the Zhou Consortium.”
"Chess piece, continue to play your role.”
He enunciated each word clearly.
Wen Cifu suddenly stared at Lu Feng and said,"Your surname is Lu!"
Lu Feng calmly tidied up the straw on his clothes."That's right, my surname is Lu."
......
Wen Cifu muttered," The heavens and earth are heartless, treating all living things as straw dogs " as he stumbled out.
Lu Feng shook his head.
"Ridiculous persistence."
"If the royal family of Great Zhou really cared about the people of the world, how could they turn a blind eye to Emperor Yuan Tai's actions?”
"It's all because what Emperor Yuan Tai did wouldn't affect their interests.”
"After all, no matter how hard the commoners live, as long as the Great Zhou's military strength is still there, nothing will change."
......
The next day, he went to court.
The officials gathered in the Qilin Palace.
They discussed the matter of raiding the bandits.
Suddenly.
Emperor Yuan Tai's voice came from outside the door.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that if I don't come over these few days, the Imperial Court doesn't seem to need me and can make its own decisions.”
Emperor Yuan Tai was wearing a golden dragon robe, followed by Zhao Gao. He laughed as he walked to the top and sat on the dragon throne.
He saw that the officials below were silent and did not dare to speak.
He smiled and said," It's fine. Please continue, dear ministers. I've been listening to your discussion behind the scenes for a long time."”
"Originally, I wanted to rest for a few days before rushing back. I was afraid that there would be too many administrative matters.”
"I didn't expect that in just a few days, the beloved ministers can already decide on the major matters of our Great Zhou on their own. It's really great.”
All the court officials lowered their heads and did not dare to reply.
Anyone could tell that Emperor Yuan Tai was mocking him.
He mocked the ministers for ignoring his existence as the emperor and making their own decisions.
It was as if there was no difference between having an emperor and not having an emperor in the Great Zhou.
Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Yuan Tai said slowly, Since no one wants to say it, then let me say it.
"The matter of suppressing the bandits is indeed urgent.”
"Then we'll do as you decide.”
"The candidates are the Imperial Censor and the General. We must capture all the bandits.”
"If we collect it, we can bring the extra silver back to the national treasury.”
"If that's the case, what do you all think?”
At this moment, no one dared to object. They could only say in unison,"Your Majesty is wise and discerning.”
"That's good. This matter can't be delayed. After the court leaves, the two of you should do it as soon as possible.”
Emperor Yuan Tai waved his hand and said with a sneer.
"I accept your orders!"
The Imperial Censor and the General hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank the imperial edict.
After he finished talking about the bandits, he started talking about the grievances caused by the Northern Barbarians.
Emperor Yuan Tai had escaped for so long, and the matter had calmed down quite a bit.
" The Barbarians of the North have apologized to the Great Zhou Dynasty," Emperor Yuan Tai said in a deep voice." They are sincere. I think they can accept it."”
"However, the people are resentful and need to be comforted.”
"However, exemption from taxes and corvee is not allowed. This is an important source of income for the national treasury and cannot be easily touched.”
"How about this, Minister Su Longhai, write a letter and announce to the world that the Northern Barbarians are afraid of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have already apologized.”
This way, the matter came to an end.
Emperor Yuan Tai didn't go to court, but once he went to court, he didn't hesitate at all. His decision was as fast as lightning.
After discussing other matters with the officials, it was soon time to retire.
At this moment, Emperor Yuan Tai suddenly looked at Wen Cifu and said,""Wen Cifu, I remember that you will celebrate your 65th birthday in ten days.”
Wen Cifu did not speak.
The official behind him smiled and said,"Your Majesty, Wen Cifu's 60th birthday is in ten days, not 65."”
"That's not right. I clearly remember correctly…Forget it, forget it. Maybe I really remembered wrongly.”
"When the time comes for your birthday celebration, zhen will personally go and support you, hahaha.”
Emperor Yuan Tai laughed and seemed a little embarrassed.
Retreat from court.
"Your Majesty, you must have remembered your age wrongly." His colleague could not help but ask.”
The official behind Wen Cifu glanced at him.
Then, he sighed and said to them solemnly,"His Majesty remembered wrongly. He did this on purpose.”
It was a taboo for the emperor to remember the birthday of his subjects wrongly.
His colleague was shocked and hurriedly asked,"Then what does His Majesty really mean?"”
"Your Majesty, you're reminding me," Wen Cifu said calmly.”
"If I knew what was good for me, I would have resigned earlier and returned to the fields.”
Emperor Yuan Tai probably knew that he had been sent to the imperial prison.
This meant that he could no longer be tolerated.
Hearing Wen Cifu's words, his colleague was shocked.
They all knew that Wen Cifu was loyal and only cared about the Great Zhou.
He even wanted to remonstrate for the Great Zhou many times.
However, Emperor Yuan Tai didn't trust him and wanted to depose him.
How wronged was this!
