Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 161 Expectations

Luo Xiu didn't expect that the emperor summoned him so quickly, and was stunned for this.

Seeing that Luo Xiu was silent, the emperor said angrily: "Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu, I used to see you, and I knew the temperament and was a capable minister in governing the country. A mere King of Guards can make you afraid of being like this? It is not enough to give up one granddaughter, so I have to push another one in?"

A hint of shame flashed across Luo Xiu's face and said, "Your Majesty loves you wrongly, I feel ashamed of you. However, the Luo family is nearly a hundred, all of them are all related to me. I dare not neglect at all."

The emperor looked up and down at Luo Xiu and said, "Although your disciple Lin Yuanzhi is not as good as yours, his demeanor is much better than you."

Luo Xiu felt sad, and it seemed that what was rumored by the outside world was indeed good. A new generation replaced the old one, and his disciple Lin Yuanzhi became a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and it was only natural that he was not welcomed.

"Your Majesty has always been a talented person. When the minister is old, some of them are useless."

Luo Xiu said this against his will, fearing that the emperor would misunderstand, and then added: "The young man is better than the blue than the blue. If he is so a disciple, he is very pleased."

"Do you know why I didn't reuse you?"

Luo Xiu opened his turbid old eyes widened and looked at the emperor calmly and asked, "I am stupid, please tell me."

"It's too utilitarian, it's very useful!"

"Everyone who is an official is all powerful, like Qian Minzhong and Lu Zhiyuan. He is so proud of himself at a young age that he is at the forefront of the Shangshu. He is like the tutor Ye, with a high reputation, and is always in the heart of the emperor."

Luo Xiu looked up at the emperor, and saw that the emperor's expression was as usual, and then said, "My third son Luo Wenxin has been a useless person since he was a child. Back then, he followed a group of friends out of the city to run away and moved into a wealthy family named Zhao in Wangdu Town, south of the city."

"When I arrived at me, I was like I was pressing a millstone, and I was trembling every day, like walking on thin ice. The people and disputes in the morning were circulating, for fear that they would become their stepping stones. But even if I was careful to hide, there would always be troubles."

It is really a joke to think back on the great ambitions of youth.

He was busy for half his life, thinking of becoming a general and a prime minister to glorify Luo's family. However, he tried his best and was always one step away from what he thought.

If he hadn't been sitting in the chair, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Luo Xiu was talking about tears. The emperor couldn't bear it and secretly gave Zhang Gu a wink.

Speaking of this, Luo Xiu's face turned red and said, "I am unfortunate that such a thing happened. Your Majesty will laugh at you."

When the emperor talked about eight years ago, Luo Xiu was sweating on his head and said with a sob: "Your Majesty, I am really miserable."

I just gained the trust of the emperor, but then I lost my holy heart because of the Dongshan Book Case. This time I was promoted to the Minister of Works. I thought it was the beginning of entering the cabinet, but I didn't expect that I suffered a great disaster and almost wiped out my whole family.

"He never thought that if he was a small divine, how could he use so much silver if it was normal? When he threw out 40,000 silver, not only did the horses not see them, but the silver was naturally wasted."

Zhang Gu understood and took out a green cloth handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Xiu.

"Your Majesty, you said, why are you so tired when you are the official?"

The emperor snorted, "Eight years ago, if you hadn't been worried about gains and losses, Wang Shimian would not have died of a life of life. I could have saved his whole family. And why did you reach the point of your current situation? I want to hear what you have to say in your heart."

"I have a love for you."

Luo Xiu thanked Zhang Gu, but did not take the veil. He just wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and then said, "Your Majesty asked me about my two sons, and I told the truth. My eldest son Luo Wencheng liked to be smart on weekdays. When he was a Dianbo in Taipu Temple, he heard that horses in the north were cheap, so he privately used 40,000 taels of official silver to purchase them, hoping to make a fortune from them."

"When he woke up early the next morning, he slept in the boudoir of the Zhao family's daughter. The Zhao family refused to let go and asked me to give him an explanation, otherwise I would go and sue the official. I had no choice but to marry the woman into the house, which is my third daughter-in-law Zhao."

Luo Xiu didn't expect that the emperor would comment to him like this.

The emperor had heard a little about the Luo family. Luo Xiu now told him all about it. I think he was unbearable for many years. He asked, "Are you the ones you said to be the handle of King Wei threatening you?"

"Later I learned that the Zhao family made a living by raising their daughters. They found a slightly beautiful orphan who recognized them as their adopted daughters. They kept them at home. They found opportunities to marry them and earn betrothal gifts. This Zhao family is also the adopted daughter whom his family recognized from the south. They were originally from a brothel, and her body is still in the Zhao family."

Luo Xiu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, Prince Wei fell in love with my eldest granddaughter back then, and I refused at first. Later, King Wei took out the evidence of the crime of the eldest son committing the stolen money. I had no choice but to agree to King Wei's request to marry him."

The sun shone through the window and threw it on Luo Xiu's back, stretching Luo Xiu's figure like a pile of soil that was straddling.

"The minister then tried hard to make up for it, and finally blocked the account. But his personal transfer of public funds has been held in his hands. Over the years, it has been like a knife hanging on the Luo family's head, which can be disintegrated at any time."

"Your Majesty also knows that my family is a salt household in Shu, and I have never had a scholar for several generations. It was just by chance that I took the path of official career."

"So that's it. When I heard that your family had married the Prince Wei Mansion, I thought you were following the situation and deliberately agreed to this marriage. It seems that I misunderstood you?"

What the emperor said was meaningful. Luo Xiu couldn't help but be stunned and said hurriedly: "My eldest granddaughter has been a widow in the Wei Palace in the past few years, and has been inexplicably poisoned. If I knew that this was the situation, I would not let her marry her anyway."

The emperor sighed and said, "I pushed you to the position of Shangshu because I thought that eight years have passed. At least you have made some progress, but I didn't expect that it would still be so useless. After all, you are still worried about me. I have only been sick for a few days and have been so easily controlled by someone."

Luo Xiu was frightened when he heard this. He didn't know that the emperor had such great expectations for him. He wanted to argue a few words, but then he heard the emperor say, "You don't have to pay attention to the King of Wei. I will solve it for you, but your position as Shangshu is probably going to move."
