Chapter 283: The Hidden Dragon Society (Part 2)

After Wu Xingzong left, Lu Gao was still drunk.

"Lord?" The call came, which made Lu Gao suddenly wake up. One of the two personal soldiers was standing in front of him, looking at him with some concern.

"What's the matter?" Lu Gao raised his gaze slightly and asked in a deep voice.

This personal soldier is an old subordinate, and he said calmly: "That's right, the villain wants to ask, you have had a little overdose today, so you still have to sober up... The villain asked the guy to prepare some first..."

Following the entourage's gaze, he saw footsteps coming from the stairs. A guy wearing short clothes and looking straight, holding a dark tray in his hand, walked towards this side.

On the wooden tray, there were a few fruit dots, a delicate pot and a cup, which must have been sobering soup.

Lu Gao understood that while he was thinking about things, the restaurant's staff came.

"Forget it, just go to it. Also, it's useless for you. Let's sit down together!" Lu Gao withdrew his gaze and said lightly.

The two personal soldiers stood there. Now they have used up. In fact, half of the vegetables are still there. It is not an insult to give them to the personal soldiers. This is a habit in many cases.

The two personal soldiers looked at each other and sat down.

The guy walked to the table and put the sober soup and fruit orders on the table one by one. Lu Gao ordered two or three special dishes from the restaurant, and ordered some wine and staple food, which was for the personal soldiers.

The guy remembered it and stepped down to prepare. Not long after, the meal was put up, and the personal soldiers ate silently, while Lu Gao used it lightly to wake up the wine.

Because it is very quiet, I listened to the words of the guests on other tables.

The guest who was talking about Enko now changed the topic, and the three sentences still cannot be separated from the big and small things that happened in Jinling. It is considered that he can eat on the second floor.

So which master was mean, which master was generous, which servant stole things, broke his legs and drove out, and the family was promoted and changed into a house.

Listening to these people's comments on the ministers in the court, Lu Gao was silent and listened very carefully.

After listening for a while, Lu Gao heard a lot of news, even talking about the case of the Dharma Assembly.

This matter is widely involved, and tens of thousands of people were killed.

But when it comes to treating old ministers and friends from the past, they all have their own rules.

Lu Gao felt a little confused. Wang Hongyi was not tyrannical, but he was not magnanimous. There was a line in it, which divided friends and relatives. When you wait, everything was in order in the face of this customary rule.

But this is actually a good thing. If the emperor is moody and frivolous, he will be punished. Everyone will have to live like walking on thin ice every day and be blamed for every blunder.

After a while, a singing came in from the window.

The woman's voice was very beautiful, and the song she sang was extremely gentle. The tender green buds under the spring light made people feel soft.

Looking out along the window, I saw a gorgeous pleasure boat slowly walking on the lake, and the singing came from the pleasure boat.

The guests who were originally talking about the affairs in the court seemed to be attracted by the singing. After a while, they all became quiet.

"It's worthy of being Miss Laurel..." After a moment, someone exclaimed. There was someone next to him, and the following discussion was all about spring outings.

When spring is bright, many children will take prostitutes to cruise on the lake or climb mountains and valleys, while ordinary men and women will also go out to wander around and relax in some temple fairs and street markets.

This topic full of spring spirit made Lu Gao's hand pause slightly, and he didn't want to look at it anymore. His enthusiasm was gone, and the two personal soldiers naturally noticed it.

They winked each other and the speed of eating increased again until the two personal soldiers finished eating quickly. Lu Gao said lightly: "Let's go."

It seemed that his expression had not changed, but those who knew him could tell from the curvature of his slightly tight lips that he was not happy at this time.

The personal soldiers paid the bill and surrounded Lu Gao and walked out of the restaurant.

Until he got on the carriage and left with the shaking carriage, Lu Gao's mood slowly calmed down, but a feeling of indescribable and unknown slowly spread in his heart.

"Huh?" A carriage and the carriage of the Lu Mansion happened to pass by. When the two carriages crossed, the person sitting in the carriage just lifted up the corner of the curtain and looked out. He glanced at the sign of the carriage coming from the opposite side with a good look, and couldn't help but exclaim.

All officials of grades have certain manifestations of carriages entering and leaving, and the great families in this regard are obviously deeply rooted in their bones.

"Is the Lu family in Youzhou?" the person in the carriage murmured, obviously this person happened to see the sign on the carriage Lu Gao was riding.

"Sir, what happened?" The entourage driving in front heard the adult in the carriage say, but he didn't hear it clearly for a while, so he asked.

"I just sighed casually, just keep driving." A man's voice came from the carriage.

"No." The entourage stopped asking and continued driving.

The carriage walked through several streets and stopped in front of a mansion near the inner city. Four followers who were following the carriage also turned over and dismounted.

This mansion looks quite large, and a family that can have such a mansion here will definitely not be a small family.

The door of this mansion is very quiet, perhaps because it is close to the inner city and there are no people.

After lifting the curtain of the car, a man in an official uniform walked out of the carriage.

Slowly down from the carriage, Lai Tongyu looked up at the plaque on the door, lifted his robe and went up the steps as usual.

"Sir, let the younger one come." said a follower.

Lai Tongyu nodded, and the follower walked up to buckle the door a few times.

After a while, a sound of footsteps came from the door. I heard the sound of footsteps from far to near, and all the way to the place next to the door.

Then, a slightly older voice sounded: "Who?"

"Old man, it's the adult who is back." The follower who is holding the door immediately replied.

"So it's the adult who is back!"

When the person in the door heard it, he brought joy to his voice, and quickly opened the door. An old man in his early fifties and looked very healthy and straightforward walked out with a smile and bowed to Lai Tongyu: "Sir, it's cold outside, go in quickly! The old lady sent someone to ask, and the young man also thought, you are afraid you are coming back..."

"My mother asked?" Lai Tongyu asked when she walked in.

The old man replied: "Yes, you went down to try and check it, but based on your letter, the adults will also submit the order back as soon as possible. However, at this time, there were no adults and they were a little worried."

"I am really unfilial to my mother. I will go over to pay my respects to my mother." Lai Tongyu said, walking backwards, thinking about the carriage he saw when he came back.

It was a coincidence that I met General Lu on the road?

He had some thoughts about General Lu from Youzhou, but what His Majesty thinks now is still difficult to figure out. It is better for him not to get along with someone who is too sensitive to his identity.

Thinking of this, Lai Tongyu had some ideas in mind.

As before, Lai Tongyu returned home and went to the back house for the first thing he had to do and greet his mother.

Today, I heard my mother asked her once, and felt guilty in my heart, and it was getting faster.

But as soon as he walked into the second door, a servant came after him panting.

"What happened? I'm so panicked?" Lai Tongyu stopped and looked at the person who came with a frown.

"Sir! It's the imperial edict that has been sent! It was Eunuch Qian who told the eunuch, saying that he wanted the family of Lai's family to receive the edict together!" The servant said breathlessly.

"Imperial Imperial?" Lai Tong couldn't help but feel a little astonishment on his face, and then he submitted the decree. The emperor didn't say anything. Why did he get the decree again in a blink of an eye?

I have not accepted the order before, but it is mostly just a verbal statement, and I have also accepted the imperial edict for promotion. It is not like today without warning. Will it be a good or a bad thing?

Lai Tongyu was slightly stunned, and soon recovered from calmness, and said lightly: "You can't go and prepare the incense table! Also, please ask the old lady and her wife to come and receive the order!"

"No!" The family quickly woke up and immediately ran to the back to invite the old lady and her wife over.

The Lai Mansion was busy for a while.

After a while, the family of Lai's house arrived, both men, women, young and old. The incense table had been set up and the eunuch came to pass the imperial edict. He had already walked over with a serious look on his face.

When Eunuch Qian entered the yard, he stood on Xiang's desk, with a expressionless face, and read the contents of the imperial edict word by word.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Lai Yi, the previous dynasty, was loyal to the country, admired by the people of the time, and benefited the people of Shu. He has always been well-known and praised by me, and the whole family knows it. I think about the national system and the ministers are loyal and virtuous. Lai Yi can be loyal to the country, which means loyalty and can govern the country, which means virtue. How can I not add it? Now I am posthumously awarded the Minister of Rites of Lai Yi, to get rid of evil and reward good, and to give the posthumous title of Wen Zheng, and I am here!"

Lai Tongyu leaned on the ground and listened to the imperial edict. At first, he was puzzled, but after hearing a few words, he felt that everything was boiling.

Thinking of the thirteenth year of Chuizheng, the emperor first invited Lai Tongyu and said this on the deck.

The emperor said: "I have heard about Lai Gong for a long time. When I was a child, I heard it. Hey, I wrote a letter generously and demoted my post for thousands of miles. Lai Gong was loyal and patriotic, and was upright, but he ended up with this. The court even added evil posthumous titles to make it uneasy in the nine springs. As the grandson, you must work hard for it and get rid of evil posthumous titles as soon as possible and add beautiful posthumous titles."

He also said, "Don't do this. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Sacrifices only last for five generations. As long as the Lai family can get rid of this matter within five generations, it's fine. The court does not allow it, and there is a way."

This happened seven years ago. Now after the emperor ascended the throne, he has not forgotten and issued an order to remove evil posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthu

When Lai Tongyu thought of this, his whole body trembled, and all kinds of aggrievances and helplessness... were melted and dissipated in this will.

After hearing the imperial edict, Lai Tongyu couldn't even kneel up, and lay down on the ground, crying with tears in his eyes: "My...I am frightened. My Lai family will be able to relieve the grievances of my ancestors. I have no way to repay you, but I will be crushed to pieces...I serve the king with loyalty and diligent service..."
