Chapter 684: Defection (2)

The couple stared at each other.

Sheng Hong touched his nose and coughed: "What I mean is that he has a sharp eye and knows that Shu is a good place. Furthermore, a vassal king like me who has both civil and military skills, beauty and wisdom, is also rare in the world.

Searching……"

Xie Mingxi was shocked by her husband's shamelessness and burst into laughter.

Whether Shu is a good place or not can only be known after you go there.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu cannot mention it, and whether he is wise or not is still open to question. It is true that he combines beauty and martial arts.

Xie Mingxi's smile is very beautiful, like flowers in bloom, adding a touch of charming charm unique to a young woman.

Sheng Hong saw in his eyes that the tiger was about to move, and the tiger that had been suppressed for half a year raised its head. He stretched out his hand to pick up Xie Mingxi and put him on the bed.

Before Xie Mingxi could open her mouth, hot lips pressed against hers.

An hour later...

Two hours later...

Xie Mingxi pinched Sheng Hongguang's back hard, and her voice was strangely hoarse: "It doesn't matter if I sleep in the house all day tomorrow. You still have to go to the Ministry of Industry to work as an errand."

Sheng Hong's voice came from the gauze tent: "It doesn't matter, I'm young and strong, staying up all night is nothing."

Xie Mingxi: "..."



After a late spring night, Xie Mingxi was so exhausted that she only closed her eyes at dawn.

His Highness the King of Shu, who had indulged himself all night long, felt refreshed both physically and mentally, satisfied with his ambition, and in excellent spirits. Only when he rode on the horse, his hands and feet were a little weak...

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu," Eunuch Wei carefully reminded: "The smile on His Highness's face is a little frivolous, so it is better to restrain it a little."

To use the word "frivolous" to describe it is really too implicit.

It’s obviously a slut!

Going out to meet people like this is a bit too much.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu was quite able to listen to the advice. As expected, he restrained himself a bit and asked proactively: "How about this?"

It’s still a bit frivolous~~~

Eunuch Wei smiled very wisely and said: "Your Highness's heavenly and human appearance is unparalleled and cannot be concealed."

As expected, he was trained by Eunuch Lu. No one can compare to Eunuch Wei in terms of flattery and flattery.

After Eunuch Wei told the truth at a critical moment, Sheng Hong's attitude towards Eunuch Wei also changed subtly. At this moment, he opened his mouth and laughed and cursed: "I can flatter you all day long, but I don't know how many serious things I have done."

Only true confidants can be so intimate and casual.

Naturally, Eunuch Wei knew very well in his heart, and continued to smile shyly: "Your Highness thinks this servant is clumsy, so it is better to keep him in the house. I will learn from Sister Xianghui for a while."

Just as there is a master, there is also a slave. After following His Highness the King of Shu for a long time, Eunuch Wei became completely shameless... and began to shamelessly call Sister Xianghui again.

Sheng Hong, who was in a good mood, smiled and glanced at Eunuch Wei: "I know all your thoughts. When you go to Shu, I will make the decision for you."

Eunuch Wei was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. I am willing to ride for Your Highness and follow you to the death."

The real master, Emperor Jianwen, had passed away and returned to the west. Eunuch Wei surrendered to Sheng Hong without any psychological burden.



All the six official offices are very busy.

The Ministry of Industry is no exception.

The Minister of Industry and Industry was originally very worried, fearing that His Highness the King of Shu would seize power and fight for power. As for the deployment of personnel, it was a trivial matter.

Unexpectedly, after His Highness the King of Shu entered the Ministry of Industry, he did not compete with him. Instead, he showed respect for the elderly and the virtuous, and took the initiative to pick up the errands.

Compared to the powerful King Ning, I don't know how many times better.

His Royal Highness Prince Lu, who is silent and thoughtful, and His Royal Highness Prince Min, who has a smile on his face and a knife hidden in his heart, are not easy to deal with. Compared with the other ministers, the Minister of Industry's happiness is even stronger.

.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu, who never causes trouble, is in a particularly good mood today. He has been smiling all morning. It's just that his legs are a little shaky when he walks.

At nearly noon, Eunuch Wei came to report in a low voice: "Lu Zhuangyuan has sent a message, asking His Majesty the King of Shu to go to Dingxiang Tower to gather together."

Lu Chi?

It just so happened that he also wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Chi.

Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.

Half an hour later, Sheng Hong and Lu Chi sat opposite each other in the private room of Dingxiang Building.

The table was full of delicious food, but neither of them had the intention to taste it carefully. They took a few bites and then each put down their chopsticks.

"Lu Chi," Sheng Hong asked straight to the point: "Why do you want to go to Shu?"

Lu Chi's answer was extremely sincere and sincere: "I won't say anything hypocritical and polite. My wife Lin gave birth prematurely that day. Fortunately, the Princess of Shu reached out to help, so the mother and child were safe."

"I have always remembered this kindness in my heart, and I am willing to repay His Highness and the Princess with my own strength."

"When Your Highness goes to Shu, I am willing to follow Your Highness and serve as an official of Shu for two full terms."

One term is five years, and two terms are ten years. According to the practice of the DPRK and the Central Government, it is appropriate to serve two terms outside. After having political achievements and qualifications, it is appropriate to return to the capital and join the Sixth Ministry.

Lu Chi is twenty-one years old this year, which is the age when he is young and vigorous. Ten years later, he will only be thirty-one years old.

Lu Chi spoke frankly, and Sheng Hong was happy to hear it, so he opened his mouth to bargain: "Would it be a bit less to serve two terms? It would be better to serve three terms in Shu, and then return to Beijing after accumulating enough qualifications. Thirty-six years old

It’s also the prime of life! It won’t affect your official career at all. If you want to be a minister, you have to be close to forty years old no matter what.”

Lu Chi: "..."

Lu Chi silently glanced at the shameless His Highness, King of Shu, and raised his glass: "I would like to propose a toast to Your Highness."

His Royal Highness the King of Shu grinned: "If you didn't refuse, I'll take it as your promise."

Lu Chi twitched the corner of his mouth and drank the wine in one gulp.



Sheng Hong was in a very happy mood.

Prince Ning was not in such a happy mood.

The movements in the court could not be concealed from those who were interested. Sheng Hong had privately told Emperor Jian'an about the vassal appointment, and also asked Yushi Lin and others to submit a memorial.

Emperor Jian'an had to act like he was reluctant to leave his brothers and join the vassal, so he didn't agree for the moment. However, it was only a matter of time before he nodded.

The King of Shu wanted to seek vassal status, but King Ning had no intention of seeking vassal status.

Anyway, no one stipulates that the vassal king should join the vassal, and the King of Shu can leave when he wants. He will never take the initiative to submit a memorial to join the vassal. He will first stay in the capital for a few years to create trouble for the new emperor.

Prince Ning's mentality was barely calm.

Until the news that Lu Chi had surrendered to the King of Shu reached his ears.

Princess Ning Li Xiangru said with red eyes: "...I don't know what caused my eldest brother to be so confused that he actually told his grandfather that he would follow the King of Shu to serve as an official in Shu. He also said that if Lu Ziyu can go, so can he."

"He is my biological brother. Even if he wants to go to the vassal territory, he should go with us to Ningxia. Where will this put my sister?"

Before he finished speaking, Prince Ning glanced over with cold and angry eyes: "What did you say? Lu Chi is going to Shu?"
