The county magistrate Fang Huayu was imprisoned by the Jinyi Guards because he was involved in the Huxian Tower incident. Lu Hanjiang ordered him to be escorted back to Beijing with great fanfare. Although he is still in jail now, he is not in the imperial prison, but in an ordinary cell.
The most basic principle in interpersonal communication is to reciprocate politely. The Crown Princess slapped Jin Yiwei in the face for not practicing martial ethics. According to the rules, they should now convict Magistrate Fang of a death sentence and wipe the neck of this unlucky guy before he is punished.
This gift was returned.
In fact, Wu Qiming did suggest this. In his opinion, the Academy and the Crown Princess were already in cahoots with each other. Since Master Luo was unwilling to help Jin Yiwei, he wanted to become his enemy, and there was no hesitation in killing her.
This is not that Wu Qiming is short-sighted, but that most people in this era consider issues in binary terms of black and white.
But Lu Hanjiang had a vision and thinking ability that was not limited to the times, so he ordered Fang Huayu to stay alive for the time being.
For this person, there is a way to kill or not to kill. The Art of War says that those who are good at fighting will kill people without killing them. Lu Hanjiang knows the power of the Crown Princess, so he will not hand the initiative into the hands of the other party before the situation changes.
, he will not make a choice easily.
After taking care of the affairs in the yamen, Lu Hanjiang went home. What happened on the street today had spread throughout the capital. Many people were waiting for Jin Yiwei's response. Unfortunately, half a day passed and there was still no news at all.
This disappointed many people who wanted to watch the fun, but it also made another group feel excited. The more Jin Yiwei tolerated, the more they felt they could push further.
However, just when all the forces in the capital became increasingly unable to restrain themselves, the Lu Mansion received an unexpected guest. Yang Zhiyuan, the son of Yang Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to visit and brought many gifts.
"I have met Mr. Lu in my late life. I heard that Mr. Lu will be returning to the Lu family soon, so I came here to congratulate you." Yang Zhiyuan had already figured out Lu Hanjiang's hobbies, so the gifts he brought were all interesting objects from various places. Although they were not expensive, they were
Everything is exquisite and extraordinary.
Lu Hanjiang looked at this official man whom he met by chance and asked with interest: "I heard that Yang Shilang has been feeling unwell recently and took leave of absence to stay at home. I wonder if he is feeling better now?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern. My father just caught the cold occasionally. He has recovered now and will resume his duties tomorrow." Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang looked at him meaningfully and said, "In that case, Minister Yang is still willing to serve the country. That's a lot of hard work."
"Your Majesty, I'm serious. This is all a matter of duty, a matter of duty, haha, ha..." Yang Zhiyuan wiped the cold sweat from his head and smiled a little reluctantly.
Recently, many ministers have been sick at home. This is simply because of the changes in Jin Yiwei. Most of them relied on Jin Yiwei to rise to the top. Now that they are relying on others, they can't help but start thinking about their options.
The purpose of reporting illness at this time is to wait and see the situation. If Jin Yiwei is really determined to stop, then they must "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" as soon as possible. If it is too late, they may be liquidated.
The meaning expressed by Yang Zhiyuan here is very simple, that is, the father and son will not change their original intentions and are still willing to stand on Jin Yiwei's side.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yang Zhiyuan, who was so frightened that his back was completely soaked with sweat, finally came out of the Lu Mansion. With difficulty, he climbed onto the carriage home with two trembling legs.
In the end, the Yang family chose to go to the dark side and follow the Jinyi guards. Of course, this was not because Yang Shilang was convinced by Yang Zhiyuan's nonsense.
Years of ups and downs in officialdom have given Yang Xuan a strong ability to make independent judgments. He called Yang Zhiyuan to question him just to test his son. As expected, the wall cannot be held up by mud.
The words Yang Zhiyuan said were meaningless to Yang Xuan. Jin Yiwei was already notorious, and the Yang family's reputation had already been stinky since they had taken refuge in Jin Yiwei.
When he first chose to seek development with the support of Jinyiwei, Yang Xuan had already ignored his family's reputation. Now, as long as the Yang family can continue to gain a foothold in the court, would he still care about his reputation being a little more bad?
What really convinced Yang Xuan was Yang Zhiyuan's attitude. Yang Shilang's health was not good, and he might leave before the old emperor, and the only one who would succeed him would be this useless son.
As long as the son only concentrates on running behind Jin Yiwei, no matter how right he chooses, his attitude of repeatedly jumping sideways will make the Yang family a loser.
More importantly, Yang Zhiyuan is one of the few people who can walk into the Lu Mansion on his own two legs, and can also walk out of the Lu Mansion alive on his own two legs.
What this means is that Yang Zhiyuan can directly establish a relationship with Commander Lu Hanjiang. Yang Xuan feels that this is a great opportunity for his son. Maybe his son can see what is so special about Commander Lu.
, so I made a desperate move and chose to take sides.
Although Yang Xuan was very optimistic, unfortunately, he still overestimated his son this time.
The reason why Yang Zhiyuan chose to stand firmly against Jin Yiwei and had a barely good personal relationship with Lu Hanjiang was partly because he didn't think much about it at all.
Yang Zhiyuan is a consistent person on the outside, and the highest principle he pursues is to be happy day by day. Since he can establish a relationship with Lu Hanjiang, it is enough to rely on this big tree to enjoy the shade, so why bother to seek distance from the near.
Yang Zhiyuan also has his own calculations. His patron, Mr. Lu, is in his early forties this year. According to the physique of a martial artist, it is not a problem to live for another twenty years, so he can be happy for at least twenty years.
As for who to rely on after twenty years, or whether the Jin Yiwei is unreliable, or who will join the team in advance, etc., Yang Zhiyuan has never thought about it. Even if the country is ruined and the family is destroyed tomorrow, he will first think about what to eat tonight.
For these reasons, although the Yang family's father and son's ideas are very different, in the end, they reach the same goal by different paths, and the Yang family still chooses to stick to the Jinyiwei boat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After sending Yang Zhiyuan away, Lu Hanjiang did not worry about the Yang family's affairs. He seemed to have guessed what Meng Yuan meant at this moment.
The purpose of this fake death was not entirely to deceive the Xuantian Sect. I am afraid that there were also certain arrangements for the court.
Mr. Meng faked his death and disappeared, and Qiu Tongzhi disappeared as well, leaving behind an old and deaf Zhu Tongzhi who could not understand nine out of ten sentences. Lu Hanjiang and Wu Qiming, who took over the important task, immediately turned their eyes dark, which clearly did not want to continue to maintain the relationship between them.
Court relations.
The current initiative to weaken the influence of Jinyiwei is probably to "select" some of our own people who can be trusted, and at the same time to screen out those outsiders who are not successful enough but more likely to fail.
Lu Hanjiang had a headache. If things were done like this, the old man's next move would definitely be earth-shattering. He subconsciously wanted to escape.
At the same time, the Lu family has also decided on a date in advance. Lu Shangshu has made the decision for him to return him to the clan.
Now, Lu Hanjiang has nothing to refuse. The signal sent by the acknowledgment of his ancestor will make some people think that Jin Yiwei is still powerful, but it will also make some people think that Jin Yiwei is really in trouble and even needs to use the power of the Lu family.
Stabilize the overall situation.
After all, Jin Yiwei voluntarily gave up control of the court under the situation of absolute advantage. From the outside, there could only be one reason, that is, the old emperor's attitude towards Jin Yiwei had changed.
Under the premise of this judgment, without the suppression of Jin Yiwei, all kinds of monsters, ghosts, gods and snakes in the capital may take turns to cause chaos in the future. The old man's strategy has always been simple and easy to use, but it only hurt Lu Hanjiang. Who knows what those guys will cause in the future?
