summer thunderstorm

"Heh~ Is this trapped by love?" The man held the wine glass in one hand and rested his chin in the other, playing with the wine glass but not drinking, looking curiously at the man opposite him who was drinking heavily.

"Shut up!" The drinking man uttered two words fiercely, and then drank another glass. He felt that it was not enough, so he simply picked up the bottle and poured it directly. Now the idle man couldn't sit still, and quickly stopped It's his way of drinking.

"If you have something to say, just talk to me, why bother yourself like this."

The drinking man paused, put down the wine bottle, turned to hold the wine glass, did not drink, looked at it for a while, and asked, "If he doesn't want this country, what am I going to do?"

"It's really hard for a hero to be a beauty! It's hard to imagine what kind of wonderful person you would be if someone like you fell in love with him. No wonder I clearly think that you have no intention of taking the throne, but you are bound to win it. So it was Jiangshan who hired you?" After the leisurely man was stunned, he smiled.Although the man opposite did not answer, he nodded in acquiescence.

The third prince Luo Jingming, who was about to fall asleep, was pulled up and drank most of the night. He didn't drink much, and his thoughts were clear, but he didn't know how to comfort Luo Jinglei, who was drinking for love. You, even a wild flower can make her happy, and if she has another love, even the great rivers and mountains can make him groan, people's hearts are unpredictable, and human feelings are even more difficult to control."

In fact, there are not many people who are considered friends by Luo Jinglei, but unfortunately most of them are not around. Except for Nie Jingming, the one who can make him so presumptuous is actually Luo Jingming who has only known him for a few days.

When he got the letter, his first thought was that Xia Qiuyu didn't want to meddle in his affairs anymore, and the fact that he was far away in the study made it difficult for him to suppress his anger. He even felt that Xia Qiuyu had sensed his thoughts and thus Hate him, stay away from him, unfortunately, when he asked, that person didn't understand what he meant at all.

This is not surprising, in Xia Qiuyu's eyes, the concern, pampering, love, or distress he sees all come from Xia Qiuyu's relationship with his master and apprentice, uncle and nephew, to put it bluntly, it is family affection, Not mixed with love between men and women, this kind of Xia Qiuyu sometimes makes Luo Jinglei hate it, making him want to confess it directly, and even put him on the bed directly, but whenever he has such thoughts, he can't do it , he would be afraid of losing this person forever.

Why didn't he understand Luo Jingming's words, but he would rather not understand, he would rather think that as long as Jiangshan was placed in front of him, he would fall in love with him, but unfortunately, he also knew that there was no such simple thing, so he poured it hard After taking a sip of the wine, he suddenly couldn't wait to see the decision on his dowry, "Brother Huang, I don't want to wait any longer, let them act quickly."

Luo Jingming narrowed his eyes, knowing what Luo Jinglei meant, sighed in his heart, and naturally agreed, "Got it, let the people below fan the wind these few days, and they will probably make some moves."

Luo Jinglei nodded, then stopped talking, and drank again, Luo Jingming had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, both of them were drunk, and then one of the servants sent them back to the main house and the other to the side room, so that they could take care of them .

This stay made Luo Jinglei live in Luo Jingming Lu's Palace for three consecutive days. Even though there were rumors outside, he was still himself, and he was better than Luo Jingming who got up early and went to court every day under the service of servants and maids in Lu's Palace. It was much more comfortable, and it made Luo Jingming feel uncomfortable looking for him every time he went to court, but it was a pity that Luo Jinglei was so happy that he came to do it, purely for practice.On the other side, Xia Qiuyu couldn't see him, and couldn't apologize to him. Even if he came back later, he still couldn't find a chance, so he had to delay the matter again and again, so that he was caught off guard later.

A few days later, news came out from the emperor's study room that Xia Shangshu accidentally revealed that he was on the side of the third prince, and Luo Jinglei's rumors in the Prince Lu's mansion seemed to confirm the news. up!Those fools turned to the third prince one after another, and those who hesitated also began to favor the third prince. Suddenly, the power of the third prince increased a lot, and the pressure on the second eldest prince increased sharply. Such an obvious contrast not only made the first prince He rushed to General Tong's mansion overnight, which also made the emperor restless.

Luo Tianyu in the imperial study was furious again, still only the personal eunuch dared to wait by his side, but this time the emperor didn't want to see him, and cursed: "Look at your bad idea! They are all trying to force me!"

"Damn it, slave...Damn it, slave..." The little eunuch clicked his head a few times, and the forehead was immediately marked with a red mark, and a few streaks of blood ooze out, and it hurts to look at it.

Luo Tianyu waved his hands irritably, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." The little eunuch stood up staggeringly, hunched over and did not dare to straighten up.

It's not that Luo Tianyu has no cronies, but he also retains trust in his cronies. He never likes to discuss with his cronies when it's not a state matter. Minister of the Ministry."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The little eunuch stepped back in response, not daring to say more.

The Taiwei and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry were picked up by Luo Tianyu in the early days. At the beginning, Luo Tianyu also regarded them as confidantes and discussed everything with them. Unfortunately, Luo Tianyu is getting old, and the poor trust has long been left to himself. , can’t give it to others anymore, but right now he can only think of the two of them, and the rest of the people he can trust are not of high rank, and they can’t stand among Zuo Xiang, the general, and the Minister of the Household Department. It is really difficult.

"The humble minister kowtows to the emperor!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Luo Tianyu looked at the Taiwei, then at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and pondered: "You two lovers, recently all the ministers are thinking of letting me be the crown prince. Who do you think is more suitable?"

How could the Taiwei and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry not know the emperor's thoughts, they looked at each other, and finally the Taiwei spoke first, "Back to the emperor, the eldest prince is brave and resourceful, but the mother of the eldest prince is only a noble concubine, the superior There is also the queen's son, if he is named the prince, it will inevitably violate the ancestral precepts; although the third prince is the queen's son, he is not outstanding, and if he is rashly named the prince, he may be criticized; Dare to make random assertions, as for the Seventh Prince, he is still young and not suitable."

Luo Tianyu nodded in satisfaction, "The Taiwei can see it clearly, does the Minister of the Ministry of Industry have other ideas?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry lowered his head slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, I have similar thoughts with Lord Taiwei, and there is no other intention."

"Oh?" Luo Tianyu's eyes flashed brightly, and he sighed: "It's a pity, the third prince is probably the one everyone expects now, if I don't make him the crown prince, it will be difficult to stop everyone's mouths."

The Taiwei and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry heard that they were silent and difficult to answer. Luo Tianyu saw that they were unwilling to speak, so he clicked on the Taiwei, "Taiwei, why don't you speak for me now?"

The Taiwei's heart was full of twists and turns, his face was calm, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Your Majesty, I remember that the summer flood in the first month is not far away, and it is time for the Emperor to send someone to take care of it."

Water conservancy has always been a matter of the Ministry of Works, so Luo Tianyu asked the Minister of the Ministry of Works: "Is there any arrangement in the near future?"

"Back to the emperor, the memorial presented by my minister today is the person selected by my minister, and the emperor will check it out." In previous years, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry selected people himself, and then handed over to the emperor to decide.

Luo Tianyu picked out the Ministry of Industry Shangshu from the thick dozen memorials on the desk, glanced at it, and found that it was not much different from previous years, put it on the table, and asked: "Taiwei, this is the one selected by the Ministry of Industry." Man, does the Taiwei have any other suggestions?"

"Going back to the emperor, I thought that it would be better to send the eldest prince there? With the help of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he will definitely be able to manage Xia Xun." The words of the Taiwei made Luo Tianyu feel a little bit concerned.

In previous years, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was able to manage well, and this time the number of first princes is not harmful, but no one will compete with the first prince for this feat. Look at the fight but not make up your mind.

In fact, it can’t be blamed on Luo Tianyu for not making the crown prince. Beichen’s throne has always been handed over to young monarchs. Once the ideal candidate for the throne becomes an adult, he will be crowned prince. After sitting on the throne for more than ten years, he can retire behind the scenes and become the supreme emperor. There are also many people who value imperial power like Luo Tianyu. After being crowned prince, they don't want to step down, and they are often forced into the palace in the end. Luo Tianyu doesn't want to end up like this. Emperors who are over fifty rarely appear on the Beichen throne. Luo Tianyu will be crowned prince right now, and he will definitely be forced to abdicate, but how can he be willing!

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the list will be submitted again tomorrow." Luo Tianyu returned the memorial on the table to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry complained secretly, but he dared not refuse to answer, and agreed.

After leaving the imperial study room, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry satirized the Taiwei with a displeased face, "The Taiwei's method is really high. Once the old man sends the eldest prince, I am afraid that the old man will be stamped with the seal of the eldest prince."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry has never participated in the disputes of the princes for so many years. If the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is stubborn, then the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is too smooth. The two princes can't get any benefits, but now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is forcing the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to participate in it.

The Taiwei laughed, not angry at all, and said: "Pay attention to me. If the First Prince gets news, he will only win me over and won't disturb Lord Shangshu!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was dazed by his smile, and he shook his sleeves and left angrily. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "If you participate in it, be careful yourself."

"Thank you, sir, for your concern." The Taiwei cupped his hands to thank him, and he was not surprised that the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry cared for him. They were already best friends in the early years, but unfortunately, the days when they were able to drink and talk happily like they did back then have disappeared. .
