Return of the Swallow

"Come here, show Mr. Lu Ge a seat." Li Qitian ordered in a deep voice.

Li Guanwen immediately responded and ordered the servants to bring the official hat chair and place it on the next person.

Mr. Lu Ge was wearing a red official uniform. He lifted up his clothes and knelt down to salute: "Old minister, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

As soon as he saw the old guy looking so respectful and humble, Li Qitian became very angry. He clearly had no loyalty to the emperor, yet he behaved like this. Isn't this deceiving the emperor?

"You are an old minister and my humerus minister. In order to end the war as soon as possible and for the sake of the people of the world, the Lu family was able to lend a helping hand. I have always been grateful in my heart. Now in front of me, how come there is no one like Mr. Lu? Location?"

Li Qitian has a pleasant smile and is very approachable.

Mr. Lu Ge, who was already at the age of Zang Dynasty, was so moved that his thin body and beard trembled together, and he saluted with emotion: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the Holy Sage to repay the Holy Sage for his kindness!"

He said he was about to prostrate himself again.

With a look from Li Qitian, Li Guanwen immediately stepped forward to help Mr. Lu Ge up.

Li Qitian said: "Why don't you help Mr. Lu sit down?"

Li Guanwen smiled and said: "Old man, please sit down. Your Majesty cares most about me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." Mr. Lu Ge sat down halfway on the official hat chair with tears in his eyes.

When Li Qitian lowered his head, he rubbed his forehead tiredly.

When Mr. Lu Ge looked up, Li Qitian was still looking as usual.

"Mr. Lu, do you know why I summoned you today?"

Mr. Lu Ge nodded and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, it must be about the drought in the south. There is no need to worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor and is blessed by God. Since the surrender of Great Yan, the land has returned to us, Great Zhou, and the drought in them has It has already been relieved. This is all because of the profound blessings of the Holy One that can benefit the people!"

Lu Ge was really old, but he spoke so loudly that his body was trembling, which made Li Guanwen on the side tremble with fear, fearing that the old man would speak too hard and raise his voice in one breath. Not coming up. If something happened in the royal study, how would you explain it to the Lu family?

But what Mr. Lu Ge said,

It was equivalent to drinking another bucket of oil for the angry Li Qitian.

Li Qitian gritted his teeth to prevent anger from spewing out of his mouth.

What a loyal and patriotic minister!

If you are so loyal and patriotic, why do you allow your grandson to do such things?

If it were someone else, these reprimands would have been spoken long ago.

But facing Mr. Lu Ge, who was full of sincerity and emotion, thinking of his identity as the head of the Lu family, and the calculations hidden in every wrinkle of his face, Li Qitian still endured it and sighed calmly. .

"Although I have the blessing of God and the help of capable ministers to conquer this country, Mr. Lu also knows that the Northern Hebei country I took over is already devastated."

"Hey, yes. Your Majesty, you have really worked hard these years." Mr. Lu Ge also sighed.

Li Qitian said: "It doesn't matter if I work hard, what matters is the people of the world. Now the national treasury is empty. The food and rewards that were supposed to be given to the Tiger Army when they attacked Dayan have not yet been fulfilled. The drought in the south has caused the people to be displaced, and the people in the north have been displaced. The Tatars are watching with eager eyes. The mountains and rivers are devastated, calculations are needed everywhere, and money is needed everywhere. But Mr. Lu Ge also knows the situation of my treasury."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu Ge cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty. I will think of ways to raise money when I get back."

Li Qitian was choked by his answer.

What he said was as if he was crying about poverty and asking for money from the old minister!

If he raises money, can he raise as much money as the treasure?

This old guy was clearly pretending to be stupid here and refused to acknowledge the mistakes Lu Heng had made!

Li Qitian's patience was running low. If it hadn't been for his status as an emperor, and if he wasn't a peasant farmer, he would have pounced on this old and cunning guy, pinned him to the ground, and punched him a few times to vent his anger. !

Li Qitian's suppressed anger made Li Guanwen so cold that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Mr. Lu Ge was completely unaware, with tears filling his eyes, and he vowed: "Your Majesty, I will definitely find a way to raise money!"

This sentence is like the straw that breaks the camel's back!

Li Qitian stood up quickly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu Ge, I respect you, so don't let me push you any further!"

Mr. Lu Ge was stunned when he was asked, and hurriedly knelt down with his forehead trembling on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I, I don't understand..."

"You don't understand! I see that you have a clear mind! I ask you, do you know that I am looking for Dayan's treasure?"

"Old minister knows."

"Then you let your grandson escape with my treasure map!"

"ah?"

Mr. Lu Ge raised his head in astonishment, and realized that his behavior of looking directly at Tianyan was really inappropriate. He hurriedly lowered his head again, shaking his head repeatedly: "Impossible, how could such a thing happen? If the old minister's grandson is really If you get the treasure, you must first present it to the Holy One. How could he--\u003e\u003e

…”

"You mean that I framed your family, Lu Heng?"

"I don't dare!" Mr. Lu Ge kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding in this?"

"Misunderstanding? I just got the whereabouts of the treasure map and ordered people to look for it. I saw your precious grandson leaving the capital with the treasure map and being escorted at high speed!"

"This, this, this... I don't know, I don't know. Brother Heng didn't report this matter at all, that little bastard! How dare he do this! If I know where he went, I will never let him go!"

"Ai Qing means that you don't know anything he does?"

"You really don't know anything about it!" Lu Ge burst into tears, "That bastard brat, how dare you act like this! It really pisses me off, I'm really pissed off!"

Lu Gelao started to have difficulty breathing while crying, and fell to the ground shaking his hands.

Li Guanwen hurriedly went up to help: "Mr. Lu Ge, are you okay?" He looked at Li Qitian questioningly. If he didn't want to cause a big disaster at this time, he should call the imperial doctor.

Li Qitian gritted his teeth and stared at this old guy, really wanting him to just die here.

But if something happened to the head of the Lumen family in the imperial study room, the news would be either public or public, and the consequences would be extremely serious.

Thinking of this, Li Qitian could only ask with concern in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, are you okay? Call the imperial doctor quickly!"

"Old minister, old minister, no, it's okay. Old minister, that unfilial son really made me mad to death!"

Li Qitian almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he looked at the face of his loyal minister who in pain did not forget to curse his unworthy descendants. Simply turn around, out of sight and out of mind.

The imperial doctor quickly rushed to the imperial study room and gave Mr. Lu Ge a diagnosis and treatment.

"Back to the Holy Spirit, Mr. Lu Ge was old, and he was stimulated and frightened. He was furious and overly excited, which caused him to have strong virtual fire. Then he fainted for a while. I gave him a prescription and asked him to take it first. Okay, Mr. Lu Ge should always pay attention to controlling his emotions and not get too excited."

The ten loyal and honest imperial doctors did not dare to look directly at the face of the Holy Sage, so they did not see Li Qitian's expression getting a little ugly every time he said something.

Li Guanwen had already shrunk his shoulders, trying his best to reduce his presence, for fear of being affected by the Holy Emperor's anger.

Li Qitian pursed his lips and looked at Mr. Lu Ge silently.

A chill ran down Mr. Lu Ge's spine. He knelt upright and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will order someone to capture that unfilial son and leave him to His Majesty's disposal!"

Would he be willing to hand over his favorite grandson?

This is obviously a superficial effort to conquer him!

If Li Qitian behaves too harshly, the family will be completely on guard.

Just being defensive is secondary.

If the Lu family is afraid and unites with the other big families to rebel, Li Qitian thinks he does not have the ability to put out the fire.

Therefore, even if he was holding back his breath, he could only swallow it in vain.

"That's all, it's not Mr. Lu's fault. I just couldn't control my emotions when I was so angry."

"Your Majesty, I am afraid, I am ashamed." Mr. Lu Ge lay on the ground, crying again.

Li Qitian was really annoyed to see him like this, and he couldn't do anything to him, so he had to comfort him with kind words.

The final result was that Li Qitian raised an army to investigate the crime, but he also wanted to appease the old minister. He also ordered the eunuch chief around him to personally send the old minister back to his home, and also rewarded him with a bunch of tonic medicinal materials and supplements.

Li Qitian sat in the imperial study sulking and refused to see anyone.

When Mr. Lu returned home, he politely thanked Li Guanwen and gave him a fine red seal.

After Li Guanwen said goodbye and left, Mr. Lu Ge returned to the upper courtyard of the back house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lu Heng, who Li Qitian said should leave the capital, sitting on the kang near the window, reading a book and eating snacks.

"Grandpa, you are back." Lu Heng went to the ground to salute.

Lu Gelao waved his hand, sat down opposite Lu Heng, and grabbed some snacks to eat.

"Grandpa, has the Holy Father given you any trouble?"

Mr. Lu Ge smiled and said, "He would like to, but does he have the courage?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "If that grandfather heard what he said, he would be so sorry that his lungs would explode."

"You didn't see him like that just now. He was worried that I would die in his study room and he wouldn't be able to explain it to me. Why don't I worry about him getting angry?" Old Lu Ge smiled refreshingly and said after a while: "Tomorrow When you are ready, you can go out. When you go out, safety is the top priority in everything. Our family is not short of money. It doesn't matter whether you can find the treasure or not, as long as you come back safely."

"Even if we can't find it, we can't let him find it. But don't worry, grandpa, I'm just going out for fun. I will pay attention to my own safety." Lu Heng smiled.

Looking at his noble and handsome grandson, Mr. Lu Ge said sternly: "Brother Heng, you are not young anymore. Regarding the renewal..."

"Grandfather. My grandson is now like a man who once faced difficulties in the sea, except Wushan, he is not a cloud."
