Luoyang Brocade Chapter 314: Disposal (2)
()
As soon as Lu Hong entered the palace, he never came back.
Lu Ping, Lu Qian and others waited anxiously in the mansion all afternoon, and it was not until the evening that they waited for news that came as a bolt from the blue.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu." Eunuch Ding, who came to announce the decree, said with a smile: "The emperor is devoted to Buddhism and highly praised Mr. Lu's talent and learning. He specially allowed Mr. Lu to enter the Bodhi Temple and become a monk. . The emperor appreciates him so much, he will definitely become the most famous monk in Bodhi Temple in the future..."
Lu Ping turned pale, staggered back, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
How could this happen?
The emperor actually allowed Lu Hong to become a monk!
Lu Hong is only seventeen years old, which is the time when a high-spirited young man succeeds! With his character, talents and knowledge, it is just around the corner to become a Jinshi and enter an official career to bring glory to his family.
But now, everything is over!
Lu Qian's delicate face was also pale. He has always been jealous and resentful of Lu Hong, and the brotherhood has long since disappeared. But why was he so sad when he heard such news?
Eunuch Ding looked at the shock and astonishment of the Lu family with cold eyes, and continued: "You don't have to wait any longer. The emperor has already ordered people to send Mr. Lu to Bodhi Temple. The abbot of Bodhi Temple will personally ordain Mr. Lu. It is Mr. Lu's good fortune to be the disciple of Master Abbot. It is also thanks to the great blessing of the emperor that he has such luck. Why don't you accept the order and thank me!"
Lu Ping endured the anxiety and pain in his heart and respectfully accepted the imperial edict to express his gratitude.
After Eunuch Ding announced the imperial edict, he said calmly: "Master Lu, the emperor also issued an oral edict. From tomorrow on, Master Lu will not have to go to the Ministry of War. He will stay at home for a month and reflect on his mistakes. As for I believe Mr. Lu knows better than anyone what his fault was!"
These words are undoubtedly a blow to the head.
Lu Ping's face lost all color, and his heart felt like a mirror.
The emperor must have known what he had done secretly. Therefore, Lu Hong was punished severely and warned him sternly.
Eunuch Lu returned to the palace proudly.
The Lu family fell into a suffocating silence.
Lu Ping was completely weak, and he slowly sat down with the help of his family. After a long time, he said sadly: "Ahong, it was my second uncle who harmed you! It's all my fault..."
While crying loudly, he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
If he hadn't been ambitious and wanted to use Princess Changping's good impression of Lu Hong to clinch the throne of Yan, if he hadn't persuaded Lu Hong to go to the princess's mansion, if he hadn't hinted to Princess Changping to recruit Lu Hong as her consort, he wouldn't have To this day!
Lu Qian stood aside with a complicated look on his face, and his eyes lost their former sparkle.
Lu Ping cried for a long time until his voice became hoarse before he stopped and said hoarsely: "A Qian, the emperor has become jealous and dissatisfied with me. This capital is too dangerous, don't stay anymore. Immediately. Let’s set off back to Jizhou!”
Lu Qian pursed his lips stubbornly: "No, I want to stay in the capital."
"What's the use of staying here?"
In his desperation, Lu Ping couldn't care about anything else and said bluntly: "The emperor personally sent Ahong to Bodhi Temple to become a monk. Even if the emperor dies, the emperor who succeeds will never release him. .Ahong’s life is over!”
"Among the children of our Lu family, Ahong was originally the most promising one. Reads(); Damn it! Marrying you again!. Now that Ahong is in such a situation, do we still want to marry you again? Can’t get in? Go back to Jizhou immediately!”
When Lupine insists on his opinion, no one can disobey him.
Whether Lu Qian wanted it or not, he was sent to the dock that night and left the capital by boat.
……
The news that Lu Hong was ordained as a monk at Bodhi Temple should not have been so eye-catching. It's just that the incident between him and Princess Changping has been spreading a lot recently, and every move he makes attracts special attention.
What's more, this is an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself.
Overnight, the news spread rapidly in the capital.
In the Ling Mansion.
Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling sat opposite each other solemnly, while Ling Ji, Ling Xiao and others were also relatively silent.
Uncle Ling sighed heavily: "How could things have turned out like this! Ah Hong is still so young..."
Being ordered to become a monk may sound like a great thing, but in fact it is a sweet and painful thing. This also means that Lu Hong will never leave Bodhi Temple again in his life.
Ling Wuye also frowned and sighed: "It seems that those rumors are true. Ahong does have some 'associations' with Princess Changping, otherwise, the emperor would not have vented his anger on him."
After all, they are in-laws. Something like this happened to the Lu family. Everyone in the Ling family felt bad when they heard the bad news.
Ling Ji opened his mouth and said: "Father, Fifth Uncle, the matter has come to this, and we can't do anything about it. After the limelight is over, under the pretext of going to Bodhi Temple to burn incense, let's quietly go see Cousin Hong!"
Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling nodded together.
"I heard that the emperor also ordered Lu Ping to stay in his mansion for a month." Sun whispered worriedly: "It seems that Lu Ping is also aware of this matter."
Uncle Ling and Fifth Master Ling looked at each other and suppressed the suspicions in their hearts: "It is * most likely* that they are related. However, these things have nothing to do with our Ling family. These days, we are also far away from the Lu family. , so as not to be implicated."
Sun nodded and agreed.
Ling Jingyan couldn't help but interjected: "Dad, the Lu family's affairs have nothing to do with us, so we don't want to discuss it. The most important thing now is to ask someone to find out about Ah Shu in the palace. The queen has been deposed, and Ah Shu She is a female official in Jiaofang Palace, and I don’t know where she has been sent to yet!"
When everyone mentioned Ling Jingshu, their hearts sank.
Ling Xiao also said anxiously: "What Cousin Yan said is true. ~IndoMTL.com~ Ah Shu is in the palace now, and the situation must not be good. If money is needed, we can also collect some money to send it. ."
Uncle Ling smiled bitterly: "You are talking lightly. Things in the palace are happening one after another. The emperor was angry and had an old illness, and he is still lying on the bed to recuperate. Now everyone is pretty good with their tails between their legs. , who dares to take the risk to inquire into the affairs of the palace. Do you think your life is not long enough?"
"Are you just going to let it go and ignore Ah Shu?" Ling Xiao said in a hard tone in desperation.
Ling Wuye frowned and glared at Ling Xiao: "Who said you can't listen or care anymore? It's just that the wind is getting tight now, and you have to wait for this period before making plans. You can study in the Imperial College with peace of mind, and these Just don’t get involved."
Ling Xiao turned his head to the side dully, water glistening in his eyes.
Sun also comforted her with words: "Axiao, you and Ayan are worried about Ashu, so why don't we worry about it? But the affairs in the palace are not something we can get involved in. There is no news now, which is the best news. . It means that Ah Shu is not in danger of life. Let’s wait patiently.”
