In any case, Wu Qiming brought the emperor's oral instructions, and Lu Hanjiang had to listen. Besides, Yongle was pregnant and was indeed not suitable to continue to stay in the world.
"Sir, what did the doctor say?" Wu Qiming asked with concern.
"It's been two months." Lu Hanjiang answered truthfully. Since he has confirmed who is his, there is no need to hide this information anymore.
Wu Qiming frowned slightly: "Two months... Well, for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess's health and the child, it is best for you to rest here for more than a month and wait until the fetal image is stable before leaving."
Lu Hanjiang frowned and said, "I think so too, but in the palace...?"
Wu Qiming said in a deep voice: "My lord, don't worry. Your Majesty has his own subordinates to talk to you. Besides, what your Majesty wants is the safety of the princess, mother and child, and you will not blame your lord for this."
Lu Hanjiang nodded: "In that case, I'll leave Master Wu to worry about matters in the capital. There's one more thing. I asked you to pass the news to the old man. Have you got a reply now?"
"Not yet," Wu Qiming said solemnly: "But Mr. Meng must have been mentally prepared for it. No one can know your Majesty's thoughts now, so it is best not to act rashly."
Lu Hanjiang was noncommittal, seeming to be thinking about what Wu Qiming said, and then listened to him: "Master Lu, there is no need to worry too much. No matter how you put it, we will have a baby in ten months, and now we still have more than half a year."
Wu Qiming said it right. Their biggest difficulty is that they cannot guess His Majesty's thoughts. Fundamentally speaking, Jin Yiwei and Your Majesty are just members of the same family who vent their anger out of their nostrils. There is absolutely no need to forcefully separate each other.
It's just because His Majesty is strong and thoughtful, while Mr. Meng is powerful and has countless supporters. No matter who the two parties are, they have the possibility and strength to take the last step, so there is today's hesitation.
For Lu Hanjiang, the reason why he broke the oath he wore in the flying fish suit was more because of the emperor's unpredictable thoughts, which in a sense was detrimental to his future.
Whether it was the huge power that he could no longer hide, or the emperor's unusual concern for the child Yongle was pregnant with, this made him very insecure.
Since ancient times, if the leader is strong, the ministers will be weak, and if the master is weak, the ministers will be arrogant. Now when the two powers are in opposition, either the emperor will betray the ministers, or the ministers will betray the emperor. It is difficult for them to live in harmony.
Since one of the parties must have a bad ending, Lu Hanjiang naturally does not want such a thing to happen to him. Wu Qiming has the same idea. Even if you ask, everyone in the Jinyi Guard will not support Master Meng.
Under such circumstances, it was natural for something to happen. Even if the old man had no such idea, with the Jin Yiwei being so powerful, would they be able to end well when the next emperor came to the throne?
For the sake of their own future, whether it is the threat to trust brought by the old emperor today or the possible destruction caused by the new emperor in the future, they must take precautions before they happen.
As His Majesty gets older year by year, the competition among the princes in the capital becomes fierce. The current situation is that either they personally support a prince to ascend to the throne to ensure that he will not end up in the future, or...
Lu Hanjiang and Wu Qiming looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes. They smiled and said nothing and did not reveal the matter.
Wu Qiming coughed and talked about other things: "In short, regarding the matter of returning to Beijing, Mr. Lu might as well write a letter to explain the situation. With the respect your Majesty has for Mr. Meng and you, he will not force anyone to make things difficult."
Lu Hanjiang followed his kindness and said: "I will write a note right now, and Mr. Wu will hand it over to me when he returns to Beijing. By the way, I will also leave a letter home, and you can give it to the housekeeper for me. The princess is pregnant. This is a great joy. I will definitely
Let the whole house be lively and lively."
Lu Hanjiang's words were meaningful, but Wu Qiming made it clear. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. I will inform Xu Zhenfu immediately after I return from my humble post. The happy news will be spread throughout the capital soon."
No matter what His Majesty the Emperor has in mind, they must take full precautions. The more attention they pay, the more they can ensure that people in the dark cannot easily take action.
Without further ado, Lu Hanjiang immediately wrote the brochure and family letter and handed them to Wu Qiming, and then asked: "By the way, is there any news from the palace recently?"
Wu Qiming thought for a while and said: "There are small things happening, but there are no big things. Miss Axiu didn't spread the word. I guess the imperial concubine doesn't have to worry."
Axiu, the female official in the imperial concubine's palace, is the real jade girl swordsman Su Xiuxiu. Although she has some unclear grudges with the old man, she is also the person whom the imperial concubine trusts most.
She was called aunt by Yongle, and even if she had objections to Mr. Meng, she would not see Yongle put in danger, so she has always been one of Jin Yiwei's biggest supporters in the palace.
Since Aunt Axiu did not warn, it means that everything is still under control. Compared with the old emperor's actions, the biggest whirlpool in the capital currently comes from the overt and covert fights between the various highnesses.
Wu Qiming sighed: "Since the beginning of the year, except for the Fourth and Seventh Highnesses, who have already lost both sides, the fighting between the other Highnesses has become increasingly fierce, and has affected several important ministers. If the fight continues, I'm afraid...
"
"I'm afraid the chaos in Beijing will make it easier for the people behind the scenes to fish in troubled waters, right?" Lu Hanjiang expressed Wu Qiming's worries, and the latter cupped his hands with worry in his eyes.
Wu Qiming added: "Your Majesty suddenly summoned you back to Beijing this time. In addition to the princess's pregnancy, he probably also wanted you to stabilize the overall situation. With your commanding officer, Sir Lu, Lu Shangshu and Luo Fuzi, all your highnesses must have also
Don’t dare to act rashly.”
After Lu Hanjiang returned to the clan, the Lu family also clearly became one of his supporters. Lu Shangshu had a wide range of connections, and the Lu clan was intricately connected to a large number of aristocratic families, and its hidden power was very huge.
As for Lu Hanjiang's teacher, Luo Yuanjing, with the nominal dean of the academy and Qi Yunzhou, the vice dean who actually holds the power, even if the power of the academy cannot be used by him, it will not be an obstacle to him.
With Lu Hanjiang's current power, it would be easy to stabilize the turmoil in the capital. However, chaos also has its advantages. Before Master Meng showed any attitude, Jin Yiwei's best choice was to choose one of the princes.
Although it is impossible for the Jin Yiwei to really stand up to support that Highness, it depends on human nature. As long as the Jin Yiwei still holds power, these Highnesses will definitely not give up.
Lu Hanjiang thought, maybe His Majesty the Emperor called him back to the capital. In addition to using the Jin Yiwei as the Wind-fixing Pearl, he also had the intention of using the Jin Yiwei as bait.
But all your highnesses are willing to take the bait. The final result can only depend on what your majesty thinks in his heart.
Lu Hanjiang played with the seal of the commander of the Jinyi Guards in his hand and rubbed the ferocious gilded beast head. He suddenly whispered quietly: "Where is the longevity...heh."
