Chapter 5 The treacherous minister is a benefactor

Li Jinchen frowned slightly, his face gloomy.

Everyone obviously felt that this person was in a bad mood today.

Li Jinchen winked at the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch understood.

"If there is something, please report it. If there is nothing, please leave the court!"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

"If there is nothing, I will leave." Li Jinchen scanned the people in the hall.

Nangong Boyu glanced at Lu Yunzheng, stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the foundation of the country lies in offspring. Now there is no one in the harem, how can we prolong offspring?"

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to select beauties to fill the harem and prolong offspring."

As soon as Nangong Boyu finished speaking, many people also stood up and echoed.

"Your Majesty, the left prime minister is right. It is not good to have an empty harem now."

"Your Majesty, I have a little daughter who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Does Your Majesty want to have her portrait painted?"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to him. My daughter is kind and virtuous. She has the appearance of a mother who can be admired by the world."

"Your Majesty..."

The court suddenly became lively, and the chattering made Li Jinchen's head hurt even more.

Lu Yunzheng smiled and stroked the tablet in his hand.

Nangong Boyu, this old guy, only dared to mention this matter when the Regent King was not around.

Who in the world doesn't know that the Regent King likes the emperor?

The people of Aolong are open-minded, and it is very popular to take male concubines in the capital now.

As long as it does not affect the offspring, taking a male concubine is not something worth paying attention to.

It's just that the Regent and the Emperor are of noble status, and the Regent's possessiveness prevents the Emperor from selecting beauties, which obviously affects the expansion of the royal family.

That's why Xie Anci is scolded.

And everyone knows that Li Jinchen doesn't like Xie Anci, so they scold him even more fiercely.

A man who can't pass on his family line, but also disrupts the court and wants to occupy the emperor, many people grit their teeth and feel helpless when they mention Xie Anci.

Bang!

"Enough! Let's discuss this matter later, is there anything else?"

Li Jinchen slammed the armrest of the dragon chair, their quarrel made his head hurt even more.

Suddenly, I think it's good to have Xie Anci around, who can help him block these people and fill his harem.

Now he can't even stand firmly in the court, how can he think about having a queen and having children?

Everyone immediately fell silent, looking at each other, and no longer dared to speak.

I have never seen the emperor so angry.

"Then let's adjourn the court!" Li Jinchen said and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, everyone also dispersed in disappointment.

Lu Yunzheng smiled, raised his head and chest, and walked past Nangong Boyu.

Do you want to push your little daughter to the emperor so much? Do you want to be the father-in-law of the emperor so much?

What a pity...

It seems that the emperor is not interested in the relationship between children.

"Huh!" Nangong Boyu snorted angrily when he saw Lu Yunzheng's look, shook his sleeves and turned away.

When Lu Yunzheng came to the palace gate, he was also a little worried about Xie An's resignation.

The Regent had always been able to go to court regardless of weather, but I wonder what happened today.

"Go to the Regent's Palace." Lu Yunzheng ordered the driver.

The carriage slowly drove away from the palace. Nangong Boyu behind him lifted the curtain and looked at him with murderous intent.

Let's see how long Lu Yunzheng can be so arrogant?

After Xie Anci falls from power, he will torture Lu Yunzheng enough before killing him.

Dare to go against him? Don't even think about yourself.

Lu Yunzheng has long known that Nangong Boyu always wants to kill him, but he doesn't care.

The Regent is his benefactor, and he will help the Regent get whatever he wants.

Lu Yunzheng's eyes softened as he sat in the carriage, as if he had traveled through time and space, deep and distant.

That was eight years ago.

It rained intermittently in the capital for two or three months. The rainy weather made people irritable.

Lu Yunzheng was even more worried. His family was not rich. His father was a scholar, but he died of illness when he was twelve years old.

He brought his mother to the capital to take the exam. When the exam was about to start, his mother also fell ill.

His mother's illness almost ruined Lu Yunzheng's future.

Lu's mother was good at needlework. She usually relied on needlework to supplement the family income. Lu Yunzheng usually made some money by copying books.

Although the two did not earn much in the capital, they could barely maintain the family income.

But when Lu's mother fell ill, the whole family almost collapsed. Lu Yunzheng was busy taking care of his mother every day.

His mother was getting sicker and sicker, and the family was completely drained. Lu Yunzheng was in a daze every day.

On one side was his mother, and on the other side was his future.

Lu's mother cried every day and persuaded Lu Yunzheng to give up on her. Lu Yunzheng was not a selfish person, so he would not give up on treating his mother.

That day, he was about to take the books to sell for money. Feeling that his future was hopeless, he wandered on the street like a zombie.

The rain soaked his patched clothes, and at the corner of the street, he bumped into a wall of flesh with a "bang".

He hadn't eaten for two days and fell to the ground, and the books were scattered all over the floor.

The rain slid down his handsome face and blurred his eyes.

"How dare you! Do you know who you are hitting?" A shout brought Lu Yunzheng back to his senses.

A pair of black gilded boots appeared in front of Lu Yunzheng.

Lu Yunzheng slowly raised his head, and what came into his eyes was an extremely handsome face with a high nose bridge, thin cherry lips, and a teardrop mole under his eye that added a touch of melancholy to his temperament.

The water vapor filled the air, blurring the absolutely beautiful man in front of him.

Xie Anci looked at Lu Yunzheng with a smile in his phoenix eyes.

"Sorry... I didn't look at the road." Lu Yunzheng said in a daze.

"It doesn't matter. The books are probably going to be ruined." Xie Anci pointed at the scattered books on the ground, looking very sorry.

Lu Yunzheng smiled bitterly, "I was going to sell them for money."

Xie Anci was stunned when he heard this. The scholar in front of him had a robe full of patches and looked embarrassed. Xie Anci

understood that this man must have encountered some difficulties.

"Why do you want to sell books?" Xie Anci asked.

Lu Yunzheng lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My mother is seriously ill and has no money for treatment."

Xie Anci nodded and asked the servant beside him to hand Lu Yunzheng a bag of silver.

Lu Yunzheng waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no merit, no reward, and I offended the noble, so I should compensate you."

"Can you afford it?" The servant laughed, "Do you know who this gentleman is?"

Lu Yunzheng shook his head in frustration.

"Okay, take it, study hard, don't give up." Xie Anci interrupted the servant who wanted to continue, and patted Lu Yunzheng on the shoulder in encouragement.

When Lu Yunzheng heard Xie Anci's words, his eyes instantly turned red, helpless, moved, sad...

The grievances of the past few days seemed to surge into his heart in an instant, making this thin man's eyes red.

After throwing down the purse, Xie Anci took the servant away and disappeared in the rain.

Lu Yunzheng wiped his eyes and felt like he had a dream.

The bag of silver was a sum that Lu Yunzheng could never have imagined in his dreams. Later, he used the money Xie Anci gave him to cure his mother's illness and successfully became the top scholar of the year.

Later, he learned that Xie Anci was the Regent King, the "traitor" who gave him a chance and saved him again.

"Prime Minister, we have arrived at the Regent King's Mansion."

The driver's words interrupted Lu Yunzheng's memory, and he opened the curtain and walked out.
