Lu Heng seemed to be lost in memories.
He laughed at himself: "I thought that was my darkest time, but I didn't expect there would be even harder days to endure."
Life as a beggar was not easy. He was only thirteen years old and not in strong physical condition.
He still has the arrogance of a nobleman. Even if he is so hungry that he feels dizzy, he will not steal the food from the dog bowl on the street.
One day, he collapsed from hunger on the way back to Beijing.
It was also because of this that he met the brothers Lu Feng and Lu Chen.
Lu Feng begged for a cold steamed bun on the street, which saved his life.
Lu Heng said: "We finally managed to sneak into the capital, but we didn't expect that without good clothes, we couldn't even go to the East Market."
Lu Chen was weak and fell ill, with a high fever that wouldn't go away.
Lu Heng had no choice but to write on the city wall with charcoal mud: Lu Weiyi will have no descendants.
...
...
Back then, there were many students under the name of Taifu.
Not long after Lu Heng went missing, someone stabbed him in the heart.
The students were very angry and went to the government office one after another to ask the officials to handle the matter as soon as possible.
Is it easy to be the official in the capital?
Many of these students come from wealthy families and have good backgrounds, so you can't afford to offend just any one of them.
At night, patrol teams were added.
No one expected that a little beggar could write so well and successfully escaped a beating.
It didn't take long for this matter to reach the ears of the Grand Tutor, Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi went to see it in person, and he became excited the moment he saw the words.
He taught Lu Heng calligraphy step by step.
Lu Weiyi knew every stroke clearly.
He suppressed his excitement and ordered people to find the person.
The students thought he was angry and rushed forward to comfort him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiyi burst into laughter: "As expected, he is my son, Lu Weiyi!"
Everyone thought he was crazy because he lost his son.
When Emperor Dajing learned about this, he issued an imperial edict to find the person.
In less than half a day, Lu Heng finally returned home.
Lu Weiyi adopted the brothers Lu Feng and Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was young at the time, and he had had a fever for too long, so he couldn't remember the days of begging at all.
His childhood memories are all about the Lu Mansion and the Eastern Palace.
The people present did not expect that the Grand Tutor's son was not dead yet.
But why, even after finding the person, his identity was not restored?
Lu Heng seemed to be telling someone else's story.
There was only calmness in his eyes.
He said: "The Grand Tutor was worried that something might happen to me again, so he simply asked me to change my appearance and stay in the home of a yamen runner.
In front of other people, I am an adopted child just like Lu Feng.
The Lu family has adopted many orphans, so no one will doubt my identity. ”
Xiao Jingzhou was only twelve years old at that time.
The previous emperor was bloodthirsty by nature, and Prince Yong, his younger brother, could not escape his clutches.
After the previous emperor came to power, he castrated Prince Yong, cutting off his offspring. ”
Lu Chen took a breath and said, "How cruel."
Lu Heng smiled and said, "My younger brother coveted the concubine, so my elder brother ordered him to be castrated. The previous emperor had an affair, and the crown princess died in the flower pond in the harem."
"It's too messy, no one can tell good from bad."
Xiao Jingzhou grew up in the imperial palace and knew a lot about the affairs of the previous dynasty.
He said: "Your Majesty spared Prince Yong's life in order to allow the people of the previous dynasty to put aside their prejudices and live a good life.
I only remember that there was a period of chaos at the beginning, Prince Yong died in the bandit rebellion, and General Zhenbei was ordered to suppress the bandits. ”
Lu Heng said: "Prince Yong is using his life to make a deal with Your Majesty."
"I hope Your Majesty will treat the people left behind by the previous dynasty well."
The remnants of the previous dynasty held the prince hostage. Just for this crime, all those innocent people would die.
The person who kidnapped Lu Heng used the name of Prince Yong, and no one knew who he was.
As long as Prince Yong is alive, the remnants of the previous dynasty will have the idea of restoring the previous dynasty, and this cannot be eradicated.
Emperor Dajing had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable.
Neighboring countries are eyeing Dajing's land and will not let their guard down.
Emperor Jing gave Prince Yong a cup of poisoned wine and asked him to end his life.
Lu Heng said: "Your Highness, don't you want to know why I am on the road to exile?"
"Brother, please lead the way to the cemetery where the master is buried."
When Lu Heng first came to Zhiyi City, he learned that Lu Weiyi was dead.
He did not go to worship immediately because his mission was not completed.
Now it's time for father and son to meet.
Lu Feng led the way, and the group came to a yard.
There was a sign in the yard.
Lu Weiyi's name is written on it.
Lu Heng's eyes were slightly red, and his pupils seemed to be covered by mist, and he could not see clearly what was in front of him.
He reached out and wiped his face, then asked Lu Chen to find a shovel.
Xiao Jingzhou waved his hand, and five engineering shovels appeared on the ground.
Lu Heng showed shock on his face, but he quickly reacted.
He laughed and said, "If I had known this, I should have saved those buns for myself."
When Xiao Jingzhou knew that he was Lu Heng, he guessed that the black steamed bun on the road to exile was secretly given to Lu Chen by Lu Heng.
Lu Heng picked up the engineer shovel and walked towards Lu Weiyi's grave.
Everyone realized that something was wrong and didn't wait for them to open their mouths to stop it.
Lu Heng started digging his father's grave.
He dug a few times, stood up and said, "You guys are just going to watch me dig alone?"
"Hurry up and get some help!"
As soon as the words fell, no one dared to lift their legs.
The person buried underground is the Grand Tutor. Who would dare to move unless Your Highness speaks?
Xiao Jingzhou picked up an engineer shovel and joined Lu Heng's team to dig his father's grave.
Lu Feng and Lu Chen looked at each other and decided to join in.
The remaining shovel was somehow stuffed into Qi Hou's hands.
Qi Hou made a bitter face and started digging with a grunt.
Lu Feng was so hungry at the time that he even made a coffin for Master Lu.
After all, his abilities were limited, and there were not many people he could command for the burial, so he just buried it shallowly underground.
Soon, the coffin appeared in front of everyone.
Lu Heng opened the coffin and whispered, "Father, I am unfilial to meet you in this way.
If you are angry, come into my dream tonight and teach me a lesson. ”
After he said that, he started searching in the coffin.
He was exiled to Zhiyi City, and even though he was the most powerful tutor in the capital, all his belongings were stripped off.
not to mention.
Lu Weiyi is still an honest official.
The money in the mansion was used to provide free porridge, donate to charity halls, and adopt orphans, and there was very little left.
There were only a thin blanket, clothes, and some bamboo slips in the coffin.
Lu Heng fumbled for a moment and a smile appeared on his face.
“Found it!”
He took out a square object from the coffin.
Lu Heng stood on the ground, untied the square scarf outside, revealing the true appearance of the wooden box.
Jiang Zhenyu was originally standing on the periphery. When she saw a corner of the wooden box, she felt it was very familiar and moved closer.
The people around her noticed her approaching and made way for her.
Lu Heng untied the handkerchief and was about to open the wooden box when he was stopped by Xiao Jingzhou.
"etc."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Yu'er, look at this wooden box, is it?"
Jiang Zhenyu's eyes were full of surprise.
She raised her eyes and met Xiao Jingzhou's eager gaze.
Jiang Zhenyu said: "This is the makeup box in the cenotaph."
No one present except Xiao Jingzhou could understand what she meant.
The two of them seemed to have found a treasure or solved a puzzle.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Open the wooden box. I want to know what the Master left behind."
