The shame and anger on Luo Fuzi's face gradually subsided. He slowly stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he stopped and said calmly: "Come with me."
Lu Hanjiang followed up without saying a word. Before leaving, he picked up the last remaining painting of Mr. "White Eyebrow" on the table and hung it at the door of the classroom.
Luo Yuanjing led him all the way to a tea room. The fragrance that hit his nostrils was intoxicating, mixed with the fragrance of precious spices and winter flakes. The price of this winter-picked tea with winter buds on the market was not even affordable by ordinary officials.
Affordable.
Luo Fuzi and Meng Yuan seemed to be completely opposite types of people. The old man never shied away from his pursuit of enjoyment, whether it was marrying a young girl at the age of seventy or spending a lot of money to build such an extremely luxurious teahouse.
Looking at all the expensive utensils in the tea room, Lu Hanjiang marveled and said, "My lord, your life is really nourishing."
"Stop being so glib. You're not just here to watch my jokes, right?"
Luo Yuanjing sat down to make tea. With a quick operation, he flicked the cup filled with hot tea with his finger, and the cup flew directly into Lu Hanjiang's hands.
After Lu Hanjiang took it, the force coming from the cup made his fingertips turn slightly white. He couldn't help but said: "Master, why are you so stingy? It's rare for me to come to visit you in advance to greet you in the New Year. Why can't I joke at all?"
Luo Yuanjing didn't say anything and just concentrated on making tea. Seeing this, Lu Hanjiang felt bored, so he put the cup on the table and said, "Well, since you don't want to talk, let's have a chat.
Business, how about it."
"Tell me." Luo Fuzi also put down the cup and looked at Lu Hanjiang quietly.
Lu Hanjiang adjusted his sitting posture slightly and said, "I have already conveyed to you all the words that the boss asked me to bring to Master Meng last time."
"What did Mr. Meng say?" Luo Yuanjing sat upright, his meticulous eyes were intimidating.
Lu Hanjiang paused and said, "My lord, please let me do this for my own convenience."
Luo Fuzi was slightly startled, looked at Lu Hanjiang and said, "You?"
"Exactly."
Lu Hanjiang smiled comfortably and said: "I already know what the boss wants, how about we make a deal?"
The word "transaction" seemed to be extremely harsh to Luo Fuzi. His eyes became slightly colder and he said in a deep voice: "Please tell me and listen."
"Before that, I have one more question to ask Master."
Lu Hanjiang leaned out and took out the teacups that were upside down on the teacups one by one. There were seven teacups lined up in a row, which made Master Luo frown.
"Mysterious," Luo Fuzi snorted coldly and said, "Just tell me what you mean."
Lu Hanjiang was minding his own business while fiddling with the cup and asked casually: "At the last birthday banquet, I asked the Master which of your highnesses can be in charge of the East Palace. I wonder if you have an answer now?"
Luo Yuan's face was as dark as water, and he said: "I have already said that this matter is not something that I and other ministers can comment on."
"In that case, let me just assume that the old master supports His Highness Yu and the Crown Princess." Lu Hanjiang shrugged and pushed the first tea cup towards Mr. Luo with his finger.
As soon as he said this, Luo Yuanjing glared at him. Before he could get angry, Lu Hanjiang said again: "In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that although your highnesses provoked this matter, they actually have the ability to seize that position."
Yes, not at all, of course, His Highness Yu cannot count."
It's actually ironic to say that all the princes have wanted to compete for that position, but for many years no one has dared to take a step forward. Now, finally, someone has come out, but the result is even more despairing.
.
Twenty years ago, the former crown prince was assassinated. Who would succeed him? The princes were young, ignorant and powerless at that time. Of course, the old emperor decided this matter. Now, twenty years later, each of the princes has developed.
It's not a small force, but the old emperor still has the final say on who will be the prince.
After all, although the old emperor had ignored government affairs for many years, the civil servants headed by the cabinet were all the emperor's yes-men, and the military attachés headed by the Jin Yiwei were all his watchdogs.
It is true that when comparing the princes horizontally, they all have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it seems feasible to win the first place, but from a more macro perspective, the power of several princes is not worth mentioning in front of the old emperor.
, all equally bad.
This is why, after so long after the commotion at the birthday banquet, the old emperor did not say anything, and the stagnant water in the capital did not even dare to make a ripple.
Therefore, starting from reality, the six princes are playing in a designated circle, and there is no way they can threaten the aloof old emperor. The only exception is His Highness Yu, because the forces behind him are hidden in the world.
"Old Master, I understand what I mean. You should support orthodoxy, right?"
Lu Hanjiang looked at the silent Luo Yuanjing and said with a smile: "I don't understand how Confucianism governs the country. If the old master wants to choose a puppet that is easy to control, I can ignore it."
"..."
After saying these two sentences, Luo Yuanjing not only did not relax, but his expression became more serious. He asked: "In that case, what do you want?"
This was regarded as acquiescence. Lu Hanjiang swept the six cups aside and said: "I know the concerns of the old master. They all say that the nine sons of dragons are different. However, our majesty is unreasonable. The abilities of the seven highnesses are different.
They are different, but their temperaments are similar. The former prince was indeed very unpleasant back then."
When Qin Yu was not His Highness, there were more than one or two people who wanted to kill him. Even though some were to lure out the forces behind him, and some were for the secrets about him, there were also many who had heard the news and planned to come over to pay their debts.
.
Although the former prince had amassed extremely terrifying power, he offended many, or should be said to be very, many people. He successfully pushed all those who did not support him to the opposite side, not even allowing them to be neutral.
Since Luo Yuanjing has said that the saint-grandson is grateful for his work, he is afraid that he has long since stopped placing high hopes on his personal character and is of the same generation as the late prince. They are afraid that they will not look down on anyone, so they plan to pick a younger one.
Support them in a controlled manner so that they can show off their skills.
"The old master has great ambitions, and I at least admire him a little bit. I don't want to interfere, and I have no intention of helping. You always want to push His Highness Yu to go up. It's okay. Jin Yiwei has no objection."
The price offered by Lu Hanjiang was very generous, and it could even be said that it far exceeded Luo Yuanjing's expectations, but because of this, his expression became more solemn.
"I dare to ask, how can I repay Jin Yiwei for such a generous gift?"
"Simple."
Lu Hanjiang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I want to be alone."
Luo Yuanjing looked at him breathlessly and asked: "Who?"
"Princess." Lu Hanjiang said word by word.
"..."
Luo Yuanjing's eyes were as big as a bell. He took a breath, stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Lu Hanjiang, you are so presumptuous!"
"Don't be upset, sir. Just listen to what I have to say."
The old master's anger could not ignite Lu Hanjiang. He leisurely played with the empty teacup and said: "His Royal Highness Yu is only in his early twenties. If you want to control him, isn't the Crown Princess a big trouble? I'm doing this for you too."
consider."
After saying that, Lu Hanjiang stood up, straightened his clothes and was about to leave. Before leaving, he looked at Old Master Luo and said, "I am different from you, sir. You have been very sensible and polite since you were a child. Therefore, I only want her as long as I die."
