Lu Ya looked at Li Wenzhong, smiled, and nodded."
"It's mine. Can I go in now?”
Li Wenzhong asked,"
"May I ask how I should address you?"
"Lu Ya!"
"Brother Lu, who gave you this iron coupon?”Li Wenzhong asked tentatively.
Obviously, Li Wenzhong believed that Lu Ya was not the mysterious Imperial Advisor because he looked too young.
How could a young man in his twenties be the state preceptor?
Lu Ya scratched his head and said,"
"Oh, this was given to me by His Majesty.”
"Hmm?" Li Wenzhong was stunned and asked in puzzlement,"
"His Majesty gave it to you? Isn't he your elder?"
"There are no elders. His Majesty gave it to me personally.”Lu Ya shook his head.
Li Wenzhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"
"Brother Lu Ya, do you know the consequences of falsely claiming the Iron Certificate? If you are deliberately pretending to be someone else, your entire family will be executed.”
Lu Ya's expression was strange. He thought to himself,'Why would I admit it?'
I didn't want this lump of iron, but Zhu Zhongba begged me to accept it.
Of course, Lu Ya would not say this out loud. He thought for a moment and said,""If you don't believe me, you can take it to see His Majesty. He will understand when he sees this iron ticket.”
Li Wenzhong's mind trembled and he said in a deep voice,"
"Alright, follow me into the palace to see His Majesty.”
"Oh, then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way.”Lu Ya said.
"I wouldn't dare. Brother Lu, please!" Li Wenzhong gestured for Lu Ya to leave first.
Lu Ya didn't stand on ceremony and strode into the Imperial City. This scene was seen by the two Imperial Guards from before. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
After Lu Ya and Li Wenzhong left, one of the imperial guards patted his chest and said with lingering fear,"
"Oh my god, luckily I was cautious and didn't offend them. Otherwise, I would be finished.”
"That's right, brother. Look at how humble General Li is in front of him. If we offend him, we'll be finished.”
The two Imperial Guards were talking one after another.
On the other side, Lu Ya and Li Wenzhong entered the Imperial City and headed straight for the Hall of Diligent Government.
Along the way, Li Wenzhong stole glances at Lu Ya from time to time. He pondered for a moment and said as he walked,"
"Brother Lu, it's so late. Why are you looking for His Majesty?”
Generally speaking, as the Imperial City's Defender General, Li Wenzhong shouldn't say too much to the other party. But he really couldn't help but want to find out who that mysterious state preceptor was.
Lu Ya didn't mind chatting with him. He smiled and said,"
"I just have something to discuss with him.”
" Let's discuss it…" Li Wenzhong thought to himself. He felt more and more that this young man was not simple.
If he had something to see His Majesty about, he should have used the word " report " instead of " discuss ". This was putting him on the same level as His Majesty. It was simply disrespectful.
Lu Ya didn't know what Li Wenzhong was thinking. He knew Zhu Yuanzhang when he was still a beggar monk.
In the next twenty years, the two of them addressed each other as friends. Zhu Yuanzhang even acknowledged Lu Ya as his master, so many times, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Lu Ya's teachings.
After a long time, Lu Ya was used to looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even if the other party became the emperor, Lu Ya would not be able to turn things around in a short period of time.
Moreover, he didn't need to turn it around.
Li Wenzhong didn't correct Lu Ya's statement and only said,"
"If His Majesty is not asleep, he should be in the Hall of Diligent Government. Brother Lu, please follow me.”Li Wenzhong turned around.
Lu Ya followed.
"By the way, how should I address you?" Lu Ya suddenly asked.
"Mark Li Wenzhong."
Oh, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew.
Lu Ya smiled and nodded."
"General Li is so young, but he is already on duty in the Imperial City. His future is boundless. Work hard and work hard!”
Li Wenzhong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively,"
"What do you mean?"
"You will know in the future." Lu Ya was unwilling to say more.
Under Li Wenzhong's lead, Lu Ya was unimpeded and soon arrived at the Hall of Diligent Government where Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with government affairs every day.
However, they came at the wrong time. Zhu Yuanzhang was not here. After Li Wenzhong asked, he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had gone to the harem.
"Brother Lu, His Majesty went to the harem. What do you think…"
"It's fine. Let the palace servant take my iron ticket to see His Majesty. When he sees the iron ticket, he will know that I'm here.”
Li Wenzhong immediately understood that this young man was indeed related to the state preceptor. Otherwise, he would not have the guts to disturb the emperor who was resting in the harem.
He turned around and said to the palace maid,
"Eunuch, please report."
The palace maid was in a difficult position at first. Li Wenzhong took out the iron coupons and whispered a few words into the palace maid's ear.
The palace servant's expression immediately changed. He did not dare to delay any longer and quickly took the iron ticket and walked into the inner palace.
……
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were still discussing when they suddenly heard a hurried voice coming from outside.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking and regained his original dignity. He asked,"What is it?"
The eunuch entered slowly and bowed slightly."
"Your Majesty, the palace servant handed over a pill book, saying that someone wants to see Your Majesty.”
"Pill book?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked,"
"Where did you get this pill book?"
The eunuch took out the iron ticket from his sleeve and placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at it carefully. His expression changed immediately. He stood up abruptly and shouted,
"Salute!"
As he spoke, he looked at Empress Ma and pondered for a moment before saying,
"Sister, the state preceptor is here."
Empress Ma's expression changed. She hurriedly stood up and said,"
"Chongba, go and see him."
"Alright, rest early." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and turned to leave.
