Hold His Hand

Lu Yanzhou learned a lot in the interstellar world and worked hard to live longer.

He is much older than Xie Chengze. If he wants to accompany Xie Chengze more, he must take care of his body.

Xie Chengze was dying. On the day of his death, the elderly Lu Yanzhou also closed his eyes.

Putting another piece of Xie Chengze's soul into his heart, Lu Yanzhou turned around and entered the next world.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a quaint room with a touch of sandalwood incense.

He got up from the bed, rubbed his forehead, and got the memory of the original owner.

The original owner of his body was after the offender.

The dynasty he belonged to was called the Jin Dynasty, which was somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty in history he had learned before, but not exactly the same.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the head of the Lu family at the time, the grandfather of the original owner who was stationed at the border at the time, rose up and took the soldiers under his hand who were cut off from the army and could not afford to eat.

The original owner's grandfather was a rude, good at fighting, but not good at governing the world, plus he rebelled just to keep the people under him fed...

After occupying a large piece of land, he weighed the pros and cons, defected to the late emperor whose strength was similar to his and had a good reputation at the time, became a general under the late emperor, and followed the late emperor to conquer the world.

The original owner's grandfather didn't have any big ambitions. He just wanted to be a rich man after the world was at peace, so that his family could live a good life.

At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, he indeed lived the life he wanted.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable.

The most outstanding son of the late emperor, the Prince Rongfu who had followed the late emperor to fight in the north and south, died of illness in the third year of the late emperor's ascension!

The late emperor was seriously ill, but fortunately he survived in the end.

The previous emperor had been fighting in the early years, and he had few children, and he suffered a lot during the war. After the death of Prince Rongfu, there was no suitable heir.

Fortunately, the first emperor was only fifty years old at the time. After opening the harem, he gave birth to two more sons.

Today is one of these two.

He was born after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, and he has no feelings for the founding heroes who followed the emperor to conquer the world, and he especially hates them comparing him to the Prince Rongfu who died young.

In addition, most of the founding heroes have not read any books. After the world is at peace, some of them have done stupid things such as enclosure and corruption... Today, I am even more disgusted by these founding heroes who rely on the old and sell the old.

The Lu family was one of the objects he hated.

The original owner's grandfather saved a lot of property when he was in war. After the world was at peace, he didn't do anything evil to collect money, but he made a lot of friends. eye.

That’s okay, the original owner’s uncles are all well-developed and simple-minded. They all had a good relationship with Prince Rongfu in those days. When they were young this year, they did not miss their elders. Army Army.

Can you hate them today?

Seventeen years ago, Jinshang's only brother, one of the late emperor's old sons, was killed in an attempt to rebel, and the Lu family was framed and involved.

At that time, the original owner's grandfather had passed away, and the Lu family had no one to protect him. At Jinshang's insistence, he was sentenced to be executed. Only the original owner was still young and was rescued by his loyal servants. The family was brought up by that person.

The original owner's father was born to the successor of the original owner's grandfather after the death of his original spouse, and he was also an outlier from the Lu family. Everyone else in the Lu family was wielding knives and guns, but he loved to read.

Influenced by him, the original owner also likes to read. The experience of breaking up his family when he was young also made him study hard, and finally he was admitted to Juren at a young age.

After the middle lift, he came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River. He was full of resentment at first and wanted to seek revenge on Jinshang. For this, he approached Jinshang's second son, King Rui. Fight with each other, it is best to die together.

Today, like the previous emperor, there are few heirs, and there are only two sons of the prince and the king of Rui. One of these two sons is from the queen, and the other is from the concubine.

The queen and the concubine have been fighting, and the relationship between the prince and King Rui is also very bad, and they are not pleasing to each other.

It wasn't difficult for the original owner to want these two to fight, but after he assisted King Rui, his mentality gradually changed.

Although the original owner had hatred in his heart, the education he received since he was a child was to "learn the arts of literature and martial arts and sell to the emperor's family". King Rui was used to being a good person and treated the original owner with all kinds of courtesy. The original owner regarded King Rui as his Bole, Began to sincerely work for King Rui.

What he asked was no longer to take revenge with his own hands, but to overturn the case for the Lu family after King Rui took the throne.

Of course, the most important thing is... the original owner fell in love with King Rui.

Today is the birth of the first emperor after he ascended the throne and the stunning beauty who was selected. The mother of King Rui, the imperial concubine of the dynasty is even more beautiful, and the appearance of King Rui is particularly outstanding.

The original owner was very talented and capable, and King Rui did some dramas like falling asleep on his feet to bring him closer to the original owner. The original owner liked men, so he was attracted to King Rui in such a relationship.

After being tempted, the original owner sold his life to King Rui. For the sake of King Rui, the original owner pretended to approach the prince and took the opportunity to frame the prince, eventually causing the prince who suffered from heart disease to lose his reputation and die from illness.

Of course, the original owner didn't get a good end either. King Rui actually knew the identity of the original owner's Lu family for a long time. He treated the original owner so politely because he wanted to get the contacts of the Lu family in the hands of the original owner.

When the prince died and King Rui ascended the throne, the original owner had no effect on King Rui... King Rui did overturn the case for the Lu family, but he also ordered the original owner to be poisoned to death. Those who were closely related to the original owner were also wiped out and killed. .

After the accident happened to the Lu family, there were actually many people who held grievances for the Lu family and secretly helped the original owner. Because the original owner and some cousins ​​were married daughters, although they were divorced or reduced to dust, they were still alive.

It's different now, everyone is dead.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." The original owner's vision was really bad!

Then King Rui is very ambitious and used to acting, and at first glance, he knows that it is not a good thing. If he really wants to help others or find someone to take refuge in, he can also find the prince, so why follow King Rui? !

By the way, the prince is Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze's identity in this small world is the prince of the dynasty. He was born by the queen. He was named a prince shortly after he was born. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and is a gentleman. Heart disease.

Xie Chengze has been hiding this disease very well, and few people know about it, but it was later discovered by the original owner, who deliberately provoked Xie Chengze several times.

After the original owner deceived Xie Chengze, he killed two servants in Xie Chengze's room, and then preached that Xie Chengze liked men and abused people.

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what to say to the current situation.

The original owner wanted to avenge his family, but he couldn't say that it was too wrong - there is indeed something wrong in today's work.

If it wasn't for the grandfather of the original owner who took refuge in the late emperor, the person on the throne now would not know who it was!

Moreover, the Lu family did not participate in the rebellion, but was beheaded by the whole family, which is really pitiful.

But the one who has hatred with the original owner is clearly Jinshang, why should he stare at the prince? Just stare at the prince, he is too cruel to the prince, and in the end, he has blood on his hands - in the prince's line, many officials who really care about the people were framed to death by him.

What's the difference between him and now?

Fortunately, that hasn't happened yet.

Right now, the original owner has been King Rui's advisor for two full years, and he has fallen in love with King Rui, but he has just met the prince with the help of King Rui, and he has not yet murdered the prince.

In the past two years, the main thing the original owner has done is to help King Rui gather his subordinates. Because he had a good impression of King Rui, the original owner posted a lot of money, and used his identity as a Lu family member to let some of his uncle's old minions stand. King Rui is here.

But more, he hasn't done it yet.

Lu Yanzhou sat on the bed for a while when he heard a knock on the door: "Master, are you up yet?"

"Already up." Lu Yanzhou said.

Hearing Lu Yanzhou's answer, a servant immediately came in with a water basin and waited on Lu Yanzhou to wash.

After the original owner came to the capital, he bought a house to live in the capital. In the past two years, he has been in contact with King Rui from time to time, but he has always avoided personal contact with others.

In the eyes of outsiders, he came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River to take part in the scientific expedition.

Will try soon, and he's still the favorite.

After washing up, Lu Yanzhou took the servant out of the door and entered a teahouse in Beijing.

This teahouse was opened by King Rui, and King Rui and his advisors often discussed "big things" here.

The so-called "big event" is naturally how to frame the prince and the people in the prince's line.

However, when Lu Yanzhou came here today, except for King Rui, he never saw anyone else.

"Jizhi, you are here." As soon as he saw Lu Yanzhou, King Rui smiled and called Lu Yanzhou's word "Jizhi" affectionately.

King Rui and the Crown Prince were born in the same year, and they are both 20 years old this year, while Lu Yanzhou just turned 22 years old this year.

The ancestors of the Lu family lived at the border, and they were all soldiers. All of them were tall and big. Lu Yanzhou was actually taller than King Rui, and looked more powerful.

It's a pity that the original owner has always been the youngest daughter in front of King Rui, and he is squeamish...

Lu Yanzhou's mood was a bit subtle when he discovered that King Rui, who was very brave and heroic in the original owner's impression, was actually not as tall and heavy as himself.

When he observed King Rui, he also found that although King Rui was enthusiastic, he was actually aloof.

The original owner still eats this set!

"His Royal Highness!" Lu Yanzhou treated King Rui like the original owner, and entered the backyard of the teahouse with King Rui.

This backyard is exclusively for King Rui, and no one else came. Lu Yanzhou and King Rui sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and King Rui asked, "Jizhi, you have already met my royal brother, how do you feel?"

Lu Yanzhou said, "Not as good as your highness." Xie Chengze was not as ruthless as the Rui King in front of him!

King Rui was very happy. Lu Yanzhou did not hide the details of Lu Yanzhou. After all, the original owner himself approached Xie Chengze under the arrangement of King Rui.

Xie Chengze was born a prince, and he was also very knowledgeable. The officials in the DPRK and China naturally admired him, but Xie Chengze himself was very low-key and rarely appeared in front of people.

Only occasionally, he would go to the temple to offer incense.

The original owner lit sandalwood incense at home, read a few scriptures, and went to the temple from time to time after making preparations.

On that day, seeing some orphans with no parents and no mother in the temple, the original owner remembered his old days and felt sympathy. He helped the little novice in the temple to take care of the children... As soon as he looked up, the original owner saw Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze had a very good impression of the original owner, and the original owner had real talents and real learning, and the two of them talked very happily, but it was the first time they met, and they were talking about Buddhist scriptures and poems.

After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, King Rui stretched out his hand and put it on the hand that Lu Yanzhou was holding the chess piece: "My brother, he is used to making superficial articles, but he doesn't know what he is pretending to do... Jizhi, please help me watch him a little."

Lu Yanzhou shivered and quickly withdrew his hand. Seeing King Rui looking over in surprise, he looked a little shy again.

But his goosebumps were all over the floor.

Lu Yanzhou knew that the original owner was interested in King Rui. Now, watching King Rui's behavior, he recalled the previous experience of the original owner... The original owner would be tempted by King Rui, and it was not unrelated to King Rui.

Rui Wang is like this, it is clear that he knows the original owner's mind and deliberately seduces.

Lu Yanzhou felt nauseated for a while, but he continued to chat with King Rui.

This is ancient times, imperial power is supreme, King Rui, as a prince, wants to kill him very easily, he can't offend King Rui for the time being.

Moreover, by staying with King Rui, he can also know what King Rui wants to do next, and maybe he can help Xie Chengze.

Fortunately, after Lu Yanzhou avoided the touch, King Rui did not continue to move.

As far as Lu Yanzhou knew, although King Rui had not married a princess, there were already several women in the mansion, who clearly liked women and should not want to have any physical contact with him.

The previous "touching hands" should have been because King Rui wanted to give him some sweetness.

"Jizhi, I will trouble you with my imperial brother!" King Rui said again.

"It's my blessing to be able to share the worries for Your Highness, but..." Lu Yanzhou showed hesitation.

King Rui asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yanzhou said: "His Royal Highness, I gave General Zhou a lot of money before, but now I'm shy..."

When the original owner's grandfather conquered the world and grabbed a lot of gold and silver jewelry, he was afraid that future generations would spend money and ruin the family property, so he divided the money into three parts, one to spend, one to hide at the border, and the other to hide in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan's share of money is now in the hands of the original owner, and many of the Lu family's former hands are also in the hands of the original owner.

This is also the reason why the original owner can be relied on by King Rui - he has money and people, and he can always do the things that King Rui explained.

However, the original owner was willing to give Rui Wanghua the money from the Lu family, but Lu Yanzhou was not.

He also wanted to get back the money that the original owner gave to King Rui.

King Rui's expression changed slightly when he heard Lu Yanzhou's words.

The reason why there are only two sons of Prince Rui and Prince Rui today is because since 17 years ago, after taking his younger brother and the founding fathers of the Lu family together, Jinshang began to indulge in alchemy and strive for longevity. In recent years, he has It didn't even go up in the previous dynasty.

In such a situation today, of course, he will not give his son money, but King Rui has a longing for the throne, and he has to spend money to do this and that, so that he is very poor.

But Lu Yanzhou wanted the money, and King Rui laughed dryly and asked Lu Yanzhou to go to the restaurant's account to get the money.

"Thank you, Lord." Lu Yanzhou waited for Prince Rui to leave, and immediately went to the teahouse to collect a large sum of money.

The original owner can only get one-tenth of the money that the original owner gave to King Rui this time, but if you take it a few more times, you can always get it back.

Putting a few vouchers from the bank in his arms, Lu Yanzhou left the tea house and went straight to the grain store in the city.

Da Jin already has a bank note, which is the one in his hand. As long as you take the money to the bank and deposit it, the bank will give you the corresponding voucher, which is commonly known as a bank note.

No matter where the money is stored, you can only go to which bank to get the money with the silver bill, so it is impossible to use the silver bill in the capital to use it in other places.

This kind of silver note is not easy to imitate, it is written by the owner of the bank, and it is also stamped in duplicate.

Of course, the banknotes in the capital in his hand are very convenient to spend in the capital, and it is more convenient than carrying money to buy things.

Lu Yanzhou went to the grain store and gave a silver note saying that he wanted to buy food, and then the food store immediately sent someone to the bank to ask for someone. When the people in the bank saw it and determined that the bank note was genuine, they sold a lot of food to Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou said: "These grains will be delivered to Jingning Temple outside the city tomorrow."

The temple where the original owner and the prince met was Jingning Temple. That temple often helped the poor people. He sent food there, not only to earn merit, but also to meet Xie Chengze.

The owner of the grain shop naturally has nothing to say. After all, it doesn't cost a lot of money to ask someone to deliver grain.

In the old days, transportation was inconvenient to come and go, so Lu Yanzhou spent half a day talking to King Rui in the morning, and another half day buying food. It was getting dark after the order, so he hurried home.

The original owner's house was bought from a senior official. Although it is not big, it can still accommodate some servants. At this time, the manpower is really cheap...

Apart from a servant named Chang Feng and a nurse named Lu Hai who he brought from Jiangnan, the original owner also bought a house for servants in the capital.

The mother of the family in her fifties is a cook, the two daughters are responsible for making clothes and washing brushes, and the father takes his son to do chores.

When Lu Yanzhou got home, the food was already ready, warmed in the pot, and soon served.

The food in ancient times was not very good. It was completely different from the interstellar space where Lu Yanzhou was in the last world. Fortunately, he was not picky.

After eating, Lu Yanzhou lit the oil lamp, took out a pen and paper to think about what he was going to do next, and wrote it down one by one.

After finishing the record, he lit it again and put it to the torch.

Early the next morning, Lu Yanzhou asked Lu Hai to prepare a carriage and take him to Jingning Temple.

It was noon when he arrived, and the food he had just bought yesterday had already been delivered.

It was very cold now, but the porters wore thin shirts and stepped on straw sandals with bare feet... Seeing their frozen hands and feet, and some people's bodies being bent by the burden, Lu Yanzhou couldn't help sighing.

These porters came from the same village, and Lu Yanzhou gave the leader a load of food, and asked them to share a share after returning.

A load of 100 jin looks like, there are 20 of them here, and each person can't share a few jin.

But they were all very happy, saying good things one after another, packing up and going to pick a second trip - Lu Yanzhou bought a lot of food, and it took several trips to finish the selection.

"Amitabha, the donor is very kind." There was a lot of noise outside, and Jingning Temple was not a big temple, so the abbot came out in person and saluted Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou hurriedly returned the salute.

According to King Rui's investigation, the people at Jingning Temple didn't know that the young man who came here once or twice a month was the prince, so Lu Yanzhou didn't say much, he only said that he wanted to do some good deeds and donate food. to the temple.

"Thank you, Lord!" The abbot of Jingning Temple was very happy.

Lu Yanzhou immediately said that he wanted to live in Jingning Temple for a while. As for the reason...the family would often disturb him in his studies, so he wanted to find a quiet place to bury his head and study hard.

Jingning Temple naturally did not refuse to agree, and they also said that in their temple, they had already taken in a few Juren who went to Beijing to take the exam and did not have any troubles.

Normally, it would be easy for a juren to find an errand in Beijing, but now it is only three or four months away from the meeting, and there are too many juren in the capital, making it difficult to find an errand.

However, accidents are easy to happen on the way to the exam. Whether it is encountering a gangster or getting sick, it may be emptied of the entanglement.

When such people come to the capital, they often can only seek refuge in temples, and then make some money by copying books or something.

Lu Yanzhou immediately decided to live here, and took out a bank note to ask Lu Hai to find someone to repair Jingning Temple, and if possible, build a few more rooms, so that more people could be accommodated.

The monks of Jingning Temple did not respond to Lu Yanzhou's demands, and the abbot gave up his room to Lu Yanzhou.

Jingning Temple is not big. Originally, only the monks in their own temple could live there, but recently they took in three Juren and some homeless children and elderly people, so the house was not enough.

Lu Yanzhou was not polite, and after adding some sesame oil money to the temple, he stayed.

After all, it is said that the house of the abbot is actually a small room with few pieces of furniture in it.

He found someone to build a new house, but he must have a heated kang, and then he will live in the new house.

Lu Yanzhou had already made up his mind to guard Xie Chengze at Jingning Temple. When he got to know Xie Chengze well, he would change places.

Of course, he did it for another thing...

At the same time, the East Palace.

In recent years, I have not fallen in love with the DPRK, and many affairs in the DPRK and China have been handed over to the prince.

It was already dark, but many lamps were lit in Xie Chengze's room so that he could continue to read the memorial.

When all the memorials were finally approved, and some were selected for the royal father's review, Xie Chengze got up and prepared to go to sleep.

The East Palace was not big. Fortunately, Xie Chengze was not married, so he lived in a spacious room. He simply wiped his body and looked in the direction of the palace gate.

"What are you thinking, Your Highness?" The old **** who took care of Xie Chengze brought a bowl of medicine over.

"Nothing." Xie Chengze said.

He really didn't think about anything, just... he wanted to go out for a walk again.

He suffers from a heart disease and cannot be stimulated. When his mother is facing him, she is very careful and does not allow him to go anywhere.

After all, when someone else was hit by someone, he was also frightened, but he might have died accidentally.

Especially in the past few years, his condition has become more and more serious... Because indulging in women's **** is not good for his condition, his mother is obviously eager to let him leave an heir, but she still bears it.

But he was trapped in the East Palace, but it was really uncomfortable, so every month, he would choose two days to go out for a walk.

He didn't dare to go to places that were too lively, usually Jingning Temple.

The scenery there is beautiful, and there is nothing messy, and the abbot is still a wonderful person... It can make him relax.

After meeting a scholar surnamed Lu last time, he missed Jingning Temple even more, and always wanted to see each other again.

He liked Lu Jizhi's face very much.

"His Royal Highness, you drink the medicine and go to bed early, take care of your body." The old **** said again.

Xie Chengze took the medicine and drank it, and when the old **** saw this, he handed over another candied date.

Xie Chengze took it with a smile, rinsed his mouth with warm water, and then went to bed.

It's just... I don't know why, that Lu Jizhi actually appeared in his dream.

It was the first time he was so old that he could not forget someone he had only met once... Xie Chengze was a little dazed. After thinking about it, he asked someone to check on Lu Yanzhou's current situation.
