Hold His Hand - Chapter 172
The shredded chicken porridge cooked in the kitchen was filled with sea cucumbers specially sent to the capital by Lu Yanzhou, which not only tasted good, but also nutritious.
Lu Yanzhou brought Xie Chengze to eat, and when Xie Chengze was full, he ate the rest.
He has a very good appetite now!
After eating, Lu Yanzhou asked Xie Chengze, “Would you like to sleep for a while?”
Xie Chengze said: “I can’t sleep, but I want to lie down for a while.”
Lu Yanzhou said, “Then I’ll accompany you to lie down for a while.”
The two lay down on the bed together, and Lu Yanzhou kissed Chengze a few times from time to time.
For Xie Chengze, he really liked it when he saw it, especially wanted to kiss him.
Xie Chengze: “…” Lu Yanzhou’s beard is really annoying!
He doesn’t really hate beards, though.
People always yearn for things they can’t have.
After being intimate for a while, Lu Yanzhou asked, “Aze, how is the capital now?”
Xie Chengze froze for a moment, and then said: “I killed a lot of people and seized a lot of people’s homes. Now the remaining officials and gentry in the capital are all keeping themselves safe, and there is still a lot of money in the treasury.”
“That’s good!” Lu Yanzhou was very happy.
This is indeed a good thing for Lu Yanzhou, but not for Xie Chengze. Xie Chengze said, “Those people hate me to death… Lu Lang, they all want me to die.”
Lu Yanzhou said: “That’s fine, as long as the military power is in our hands, they won’t be able to make trouble, and the Xiucai will not be able to rebel for three years.”
Xie Chengze was alone in the capital, and he was able to suppress those people, and now there is him… those people must be crushed to death.
Lu Yanzhou is confident about this.
Xie Chengze was in a good mood after listening to Lu Yanzhou: “Lu Lang, you must protect me.”
“I won’t let you have anything to do,” Lu Yanzhou said again, “Aze, I will definitely be on the throne in a few days. What do you want to do then? Do you want to be an official or I will make you a king?”
Xie Chengze was taken aback, he didn’t expect Lu Yanzhou to mention this.
He thought that even if Lu Yanzhou let him live, he would just use him as a plaything, and he might even say to the outside world that he was dead, let him live in a different identity, and hide him in the harem.
As a result… Lu Yanzhou wants to make him a king?
Although he thought so, Xie Chengze said, “Why don’t you let me be the queen?”
Lu Yanzhou said: “Do you want to be the queen? Then you can be together.”
Lu Yanzhou didn’t mention this because he was afraid that Xie Chengze would not want to. After all, Xie Chengze was also a man.
But if Xie Chengze is willing, that’s the best!
In the future, Xie Chengze can be a prince during the day and a queen at night, ahem.
Xie Chengze stared at Lu Yanzhou, and was stunned when he realized that Lu Yanzhou was not joking.
Lu Yanzhou asked again: “Aze, how many soldiers and horses do you have now?”
Xie Chengze regained his senses when he heard this – so Lu Yanzhou made such a promise to him for the soldiers and horses in his hands?
He had planned to give Lu Yanzhou the soldiers and horses he had for a long time. In fact, yesterday, Lu Yanzhou was able to take them.
But Lu Yanzhou obviously didn’t know, and came to coax him specially…
The joy in Xie Chengze’s heart was swept away, and he said, “There are fifty thousand.”
The 50,000 horses in his hands are all elites! Strong soldiers!
In the end, he copied the old bottom of the royal family and the aristocratic family. He definitely had more horses than Lu Yanzhou’s, and his weapons were not bad.
Lu Yanzhou said: “That’s enough, let them be stationed in the capital at that time, and I will give you another military post.”
Lu Yanzhou knew that his subordinates might not be safe, nor would he listen to Xie Chengze.
It would be bad if they were tempted to deal with Xie Chengze.
Therefore, it is best to let Xie Chengze’s people guard the capital and protect Xie Chengze.
Xie Chengze was stunned again.
It’s not what he thought!
Lu Yanzhou didn’t ask him for military power, and planned to let him continue to be in charge?
He has killed the emperor, Lu Yanzhou is not afraid that he will kill the emperor on a whim one day?
Xie Chengze was thinking about various things, and Lu Yanzhou had already begun to ask Xie Chengze how the next court would be organized.
Lu Yanzhou had too few people, so he asked Xie Chengze if there were any suitable people who could help him.
Xie Chengze was in a trance, but when Lu Yanzhou asked him a question, he still answered, but his response was a little slow.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yanzhou just thought he was a little tired after he hadn’t slept well: “Aze, are you tired? Take a good rest for a while.”
Xie Chengze said: “I’m not tired, let’s continue talking.”
Xie Chengze woke up, and he suddenly realized that Lu Yanzhou should be sincere to him now.
Even if there is no sincerity… Lu Yanzhou now acts as if he has sincerity.
That being the case, should he fight for it?
If Lu Yanzhou wants to use his people, let Lu Yanzhou use it!
If Lu Yanzhou wants to make him king, let Lu Yanzhou make him!
If Lu Yanzhou wants to give him military power, let Lu Yanzhou give it to him!
There is no need for him to wait for Lu Yanzhou’s pity in a lifeless manner, he can definitely fight for it!
He is not afraid of death, what is he afraid of?
He is about to become a queen, to hold military power, and to seize all kinds of rights!
Lu Yanzhou may be talking casually, and he is not ready to give it to him at all, but what is he afraid of? The big deal is death!
If Lu Yanzhou really gave him so many rights…
If he has enough power, it would be difficult for Lu Yanzhou to abandon him, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Chengze was full of energy and immediately discussed with Lu Yanzhou.
They had been discussing until late, and then they went out to meet people together. On the way, they hurriedly ate lunch.
The chat was so engaged before that they didn’t even have lunch.
Tian Qi, Sheng Yuan, Xie Jia and other confidants of Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze came to Xie Chengze’s residence at noon and waited.
They were once again entertained by the butler, Lao Zhang. After eating and drinking, they finally waited for Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze.
Lu Yanzhou was still the same, but he looked high-spirited.
As for Xie Chengze… Xie Chengze was originally good-looking, but now he is standing beside Lu Yanzhou, so beautiful that people dare not look directly at him.
In fact, men should not be described as glamorous, but Xie Chengze gave them such a feeling.
“Everything is ready, come, let’s discuss what to do next, I have already discussed this with Aze, and this is what we plan to do…” Lu Yanzhou said straight to the point.
He was definitely going to be enthroned, and he didn’t intend to waste time acting on people to invite him several times, so he directly asked Sheng Yuan to choose a time and ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Then it’s how to follow the arrangements of his heroes who conquered the world, how to deal with the remaining forces of Sun Chongshao and the remaining rebel bandits in various places!
Of course, Lu Yanzhou also talked about the arrangement for Xie Chengze.
Sheng Yuan and Tian Qi were more shocked the more they listened.
Especially Tian Qi, he suspected that he was dreaming.
Is Yan Hang crazy? He actually wanted to seal a former **** as a prince and queen?
Normal people can’t do this kind of thing at all!
Even Sheng Yuan didn’t think it would work. Others didn’t know, but he knew that his godfather’s current reputation was incomparably worse.
The nobility has reached the point where they will never die with his godfather, as for the common people…
From more than ten years ago, the gentry began to scold his godfather and put various charges on his godfather. According to the word of mouth of ordinary people, his godfather is a devil who does all kinds of evil and even eats children!
If Lu Yanzhou insists on making his godfather king… Lu Yanzhou is afraid that everyone will resist!
Even if Lu Yanzhou has military power, he will be able to stabilize the situation sooner or later, which is not conducive to his rule.
Sheng Yuan thought of this, and of course Xie Chengze also thought of it.
He used to be determined to die and didn’t care much about his reputation.
Of course, it is useless for him to care. When the vast majority of cultural people are against him, no one will believe him even if he tries hard to refute the rumors.
So he just ignored those rumors, and he was even more nonsense during the previous period.
But now…
With such a reputation, how can he fight for power and profit? How can I stand beside Lu Yanzhou?
Xie Chengze’s thoughts turned sharply, and he looked at Lu Yanzhou: “General, I have something to say.”
“What?” Lu Yanzhou asked.
Xie Chengze said, “I want to change my identity.”
Lu Yanzhou looked at Xie Chengze in confusion.
Xie Chengze said: “I want to change my name and surname, and after being named a king by another identity, I don’t need the name Xie Chengze!”
“But everyone knows you…”
“So what if you know it? Those people don’t dare to recognize it!” Xie Chengze stood up, very confident, “They are all afraid of me!”
After speaking, Xie Chengze suddenly became enlightened.
He can completely change to a clean identity and start over!
As for his face, everyone knows it… It really doesn’t matter. He believes that the officials in the capital, even if they recognize him, don’t dare to say anything, only to be scared and shiver.
Xie Chengze even began to look forward to the appearance of those people being frightened by him!
Lu Yanzhou said: “It’s really unnecessary, Aze, your previous reputation was not good, but history books are written by victors. When the time comes, we will write down your achievements, and everyone will know what you have done. It’s all for the people of the world…”
Lu Yanzhou wanted to whitewash Xie Chengze. He wanted everyone in the world to know that Xie Chengze was a good person!
He didn’t want someone in later generations to mention Eunuch Xie in the last years of Dayan and think this person was a traitor.
He wanted Xie Chengze to stand upright in the sun.
Xie Chengze deserves it all.
As for him, Lu Yanzhou, he just likes Xie Chengze. They have known each other many years ago and have gone through ups and downs together until they grow old.
Is this bad? Why should Xie Chengze change his identity?
Xie Chengze said: “I don’t want to be a **** anymore, and I don’t want future generations to mention me. I’m just a eunuch.”
Lu Yanzhou frowned in thought.
Speaking of which, Lu Yanzhou has been accumulating merit over the years.
But he started a war, which is not a good thing. From time to time, his merits and demerits are offset, so that now he has not accumulated enough merit for Xie Chengze to heal his body.
There is no way to cure Xie Chengze for the time being. He told Xie Chengze that Xie Chengze would probably not believe this kind of fantastic thing. He never told Xie Chengze that he could cure Xie Chengze.
For Xie Chengze, physical disability should be very painful. Xie Chengze must be very disgusted with his past. In this case, it is actually good for Xie Chengze to change his identity and start over?
Lu Yanzhou still respected Xie Chengze’s choice, and immediately said, “That’s it… Ah Ze, what kind of identity do you want to change?”
Xie Chengze said, “Let’s just say I’m from the Wang family. I’ll discuss with Wang Tingyun.”
Since he wants to change his identity, he must choose a more noble one. Xie Chengze decided to return to the Wang family.
Wang Tingyun was not considered a confidant of Lu Yanzhou, so he was not qualified to come to this meeting today.
Xie Chengze plans to wait and discuss with Wang Tingyun.
Well, to say it was a discussion, in fact, it was to inform him that Wang Tingyun couldn’t stop what he was going to do!
By the time everyone in the capital knew that Xie Chengze was from the Wang family… The Wang family, whose entire family could be preserved, would definitely split with the other gentry, and most of the two sides would fight, and those gentry would not be able to revive.
The Wang family will also be curbed.
Thinking of the original owner and Miss Wang, Lu Yanzhou was not very happy for Xie Chengze to be the Wang family.
But Xie Chengze said so…
Lu Yanzhou agreed: “Okay, so be it… We will continue to discuss and strive to handle all the things to be dealt with tomorrow, and the courtiers can be summoned for the next court the day after tomorrow.”
When Lu Yanzhou said this, he didn’t think about it, but Tian Qishengyuan and others heard the word “Shang Dynasty” and felt a little sympathetic to those officials.
Those officials have been devastated, and now they hear the word “Xie Chengze” and their legs are shaking.
They were all looking forward to Xie Chengze’s death, and they seemed to think that Xie Chengze was already dead… When the day after tomorrow, when they saw Xie Chengze standing beside the emperor, and he was sealed by the king, they didn’t know how they would feel.
