A hundred years ago, Lu Zheng pacified the world, won a lifelong reputation as a knight, and eventually became a golden-faced bodyguard. However, Lu Zheng was later thrown into the Demon Prison and died in prison.
Back then, Tianjizi and Lin Yi were making snow and warming wine to talk about the world, and they also revealed some information. They said that the royal family and the Lu family had grievances that were difficult to resolve. Therefore, for a hundred years, successive emperors have secretly pursued Lu Zhenghou.
However, Tianjizi did not tell the specific truth.
Because the matter is too big, if you talk about it, it will cause big trouble.
Later, Lin Yi became a golden-faced bodyguard, and he also heard that the royal family had a grudge against the Lu family. Even the eldest brother of the emperor revealed some of it. He also asked Lin Yi to pay attention to whether there were any descendants of Lu Zheng in the world.
Although Lin Yi was curious about the grudge between Lu Zheng and the royal family a hundred years ago, he still had no answer.
But one thing Lin Yi understood was that the royal family would never forgive the Lu family.
No wonder the emperor actually threw Prime Minister Lu into prison and raided the Lu Mansion.
Lin Yi said: "Brother, Prime Minister Lu is after Lu Zheng, this matter is not trivial. Is there any conclusive evidence?"
The emperor said: "If there is no conclusive evidence, how can I touch him? Yesterday, I used the princess's full moon banquet to make Lu Xiang drunk. On his way back to the house, Teng Bin led someone to assassinate him. At the critical moment, the result was always superficial.
The master of martial arts, Lu Xiangye, used Lu Zheng's secret skill, 'Mingyue Feihuang'. This was seen by Teng Bin with his own eyes, and there was no lie! Lu Zheng's secret skill was passed down from son to disciple, not from disciples, from male to female, and it was unknown to outsiders.
It’s impossible to practice. So Prime Minister Lu is Empress Lu Zheng!”
After hearing these words, Lin Yi suddenly realized.
It turns out that last night was not planned by Shangguan Minghong, but by the emperor.
That assassin with great martial arts skills turned out to be Teng Bin.
All this is just to force Prime Minister Lu to use "Mingyue Feihuang" to obtain ironclad evidence.
Lin Yi thought to himself that Prime Minister Lu had resorted to the "Moon Flying Phoenix" in a hurry, and Prime Minister Lu had many secrets. Prime Minister Lu also warned him tactfully not to touch these secrets. And he also swore not to ask or listen.
In this way, Prime Minister Lu is really the queen of Lu Zheng.
He has been carefully lurking in the court, just biding his time.
Although he formed an alliance with Lu Xiang and admired Lu Xiang, he did not allow Lu Xiang to kill the emperor, his sworn brother.
The emperor said to Lin Yi again: "Second brother, now you know the truth. You were also deceived by him! He is using you! Are you still vouching for him with your life? Moreover, the grievances between the royal family and the Lu family are not as bad as you thought.
Simple. So, you can't get involved in this matter, so as not to embarrass me, brother."
Lin Yi said: "In that case, I won't get involved."
The emperor patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll be relieved."
Lin Yi said: "But I still have to ask big brother for something."
The emperor said: "You say."
Lin Yi said: "After all, Prime Minister Lu is also kind to me. Jianghu people pay attention to the distinction between grudges and grudges. Please allow me to bring wine and food to visit Prime Minister Lu alone. I want to say something to him."
The emperor thought for a moment and said: "Originally, at this juncture, no one can visit him, let alone visit him alone. But you are my second brother, and I believe you will not do anything sorry for me. I promise you."
Lin Yi said: "Thank you, brother!"
So the emperor wrote a handwritten edict and sent a guard leader to take Lin Yi to the "Devil Prison".
…
The "Devil Prison" was originally made of copper and iron walls, and it was impossible for prisoners to escape, but several experts were placed outside Xiang Lu's cell to monitor Xiang Lu in the prison almost constantly.
The cell where Prime Minister Lu was imprisoned was also where Lin Yi was imprisoned.
There was an iron cage in the center of the sturdy cell, and Prime Minister Lu also wore heavy iron chains on his hands and feet, just like when Lin Yi was imprisoned.
Nothing goes wrong.
At this moment, Prime Minister Lu was sitting on the bed in the iron cage with mixed emotions.
Yesterday, he was still the prime minister who was subordinate to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Today, he has become a prisoner in a cage.
It really feels like a world away.
Prime Minister Lu murmured to himself: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. Today you will be happy and tomorrow you will be sad..."
At this time, the heavy cell door was opened, and Lin Yi came in carrying a basket.
Lin Yi can be regarded as revisiting his old hometown.
The prison officer closed the iron door again and locked it from the outside.
Lin Yi walked to the iron cage and looked at Prime Minister Lu in the iron cage, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Prime Minister Lu got up from the bed and walked to the iron cage. He looked at Lin Yi with a wry smile on his face.
Xiang Lu said: "You didn't expect that?"
Lin Yi said: "I didn't expect that."
Prime Minister Lu said: "I didn't expect that, so I became a prisoner today. Alas, he asked me to leave at the beginning, and you persuaded me to leave last night, but I didn't leave. I thought that no matter what tricks Shangguan Minghong played, I would not leave."
I can handle it. I didn’t expect that this time it would be the emperor..."
Lin Yi took out the food and wine from the basket and placed them in front of the iron cage.
Then Lin Yi sat cross-legged, and Lu Xiang in the cage also sat down.
Although the two are facing each other, they are separated by an insurmountable iron cage.
Lin Yi poured two glasses of wine, handed one glass into the cage and said, "Prime Minister, here's a toast to you."
Prime Minister Lu took the wine and drank it slowly.
Prime Minister Lu knew that Lin Yi could enter the "Demon Prison" to visit him alone only with the emperor's permission.
Prime Minister Lu asked: "Did you meet the Emperor to plead for me?"
Lin Yi said: "Yes, I wanted to vouch for the prime minister with my life. But..."
Xiang Lu said: "But what?"
Lin Yi looked at Prime Minister Lu and said, "The emperor said that you are the queen of Lu Zheng. Last night Teng Bin led people to assassinate you, and you used Lu Zheng's secret skill 'Mingyue Feihuang'."
Prime Minister Lu said: "I did use the 'Mingyue Feihuang', and I explained it to the emperor, but he didn't believe it and insisted that I was a descendant of Lu Zheng. If the emperor doubts his ministers, they will die. Over the years, I have served the country conscientiously.
He was loyal to the emperor, but he ended up like this..."
Lin Yi knew that Prime Minister Lu was hiding many secrets, and even if Prime Minister Lu was the queen of Lu Zheng, he would not tell the truth.
Because this matter should never be said to anyone.
Everyone has hidden secrets, so Lin Yi doesn't blame Xiang Lu for hiding them.
Lin Yi drank all the wine in his glass and said, "Mr. Xiang, now that this has happened, what are your instructions?"
Prime Minister Lu said: "I have to tell you something."
Lin Yi said: "Master Xiang, please tell me."
Prime Minister Lu said: "In fact, the real person behind this matter is your 'good brother'. He used the emperor's sword to kill me. The emperor also fell into his trap. The emperor knew that I could 'bright moon and flying phoenix', so
Shangguan Minghong said it."
Lin Yi said: "How does Shangguan Minghong know that Prime Minister can 'Fly the Phoenix on the Bright Moon'?"
Prime Minister Lu asked Lin Yi to fill the wine for him again.
"This is the crux of the matter. Because last time the Iron Demon and a Blood Demon slave assassinated me, I used the 'Moon Phoenix' at the critical moment. So, only the Blood Demon clan knew that I could do this. I asked Shangguan Minghong, Shangguan Minghong
It was said that Iron Demon told him..." Prime Minister Lu told Lin Yi truthfully what Shangguan Minghong said. Then Prime Minister Lu looked at Lin Yi and said, "Do you believe what Shangguan Minghong said? Is it really true that the Iron-faced God made a deal with him?
Did I tell him the secret of 'Ming Yue Fei Huang'?"
Lin Yi slowly shook his head and said: "I don't believe it..."
Prime Minister Lu drank the refill of wine in one gulp. He stared into Lin Yi's eyes and said, "So, Shangguan Minghong is a member of the blood demon clan!"
