Just when Xia Zhang, the admiral of Dongchang, was still full of worries, Lu Hanjiang and Qi Yunzhou had already arranged everything for him, and Dongchang was the scapegoat.
But I'm afraid it's not just Dongchang, many people in the capital can't sleep peacefully this night.
Lu Qinian and his wife spent a torturous night with Lu Sicheng nervously. Fortunately, God showed mercy and the young master was lucky enough to survive.
Seeing Lu Qinian and his wife weeping with joy, Lu Shangshu, who had arrived belatedly, was also relieved. To put it mildly, he actually didn't care that much about Lu Sicheng's life and death. Although the two were uncles and nephews of the same race, there was no relationship at all.
Worth mentioning.
"It's pity for all the parents in the world. Qinian and Sicheng are lucky children. Don't worry. Go back and have a good rest." Lu Shangshu coughed and stepped forward to congratulate him.
Lu Qinian thanked him continuously: "Thank you very much, patriarch. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid this child would have been... a great kindness. Please accept my respect."
"No need."
Lu Shangshu grabbed Lu Qinian's arm and stopped him from bowing. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his tone was slightly lighter: "Qinian, I was not being polite to you just now. What I said was true. You are here for this."
It’s really unbearable to see the children running around and working so hard.”
"Clan leader?" Lu Qinian was a little confused.
Lu Shangshu glanced at Lu Sicheng, whose fever had subsided on the bed, and then at the woman whose heart and eyes were full of her little son. He turned to Lu Qinian and said calmly: "This child has just recovered from a serious illness. It is best to rest in peace for the next few days."
, the courtyard in the countryside is quiet, you can take him and his siblings to rest for a while."
"This..." Lu Qinian was stunned, and his face, which was just a little rosy due to his mood, immediately turned pale. Was he grounded?
Although Lu Qinian has never been taken seriously, he has always been responsible for the general affairs of the clan. He is not considered rich and powerful in the capital, but his life is not bad.
Now that they were suddenly asked by the clan leader to be transferred to a small courtyard in the countryside, their job was naturally no longer available. Although they may not be hungry in the clan, they suddenly changed from being self-sufficient to being dependent on others. This gap is not something that can be accepted casually.
of.
"Patriarch, I know that Sicheng has done something too much recently. I am willing to take the blame for his son's failure to teach his father. I also ask the patriarch to forgive him this time." Lu Qinian was still making his last effort.
However, Lu Shangshu's determination could not be changed by someone else's words. He just shook his head: "Qinian, I have ordered people to clean up the place for you. You can live in peace after you go."
, the clan will not deprive you of food and drink."
"But -" Lu Qinian was a little anxious and couldn't help but raise his voice, which attracted the attention of the woman beside him. Even Lu Sicheng on the bed opened his eyes slightly in a trance.
But Lu Shangshu still had a firm attitude: "You are also from a family background. There are many books in the small courtyard. If Sicheng wants to read them, you can also let him read them. It is never wrong to cultivate one's moral character."
After speaking, Lu Shangshu turned around and left, no longer giving Lu Qinian a chance to speak.
By the time the news that Lu Sicheng had recovered from his serious illness reached Lu Hanjiang's house, it was already five days later. Lao Qian had prepared gifts and came to congratulate him, but he didn't expect that he was already gone.
"Going to the countryside?" Lu Hanjiang looked at Lu Shangshu in surprise.
"Well," Lu Shangshu took the other party to sit in a small pavilion in the courtyard and said, "The capital is noisy and your brother is not in good health. It is better to recuperate in a quieter place."
Lu Shangshu drank a cup of fragrant tea, paused, and then said: "Your parents are also going to the countryside together. It is always wrong to have no relatives around to take care of you. The child is still young and is your parents' darling. It is okay to care.
Human nature."
"Is that so?" Lu Hanjiang frowned slightly, then relaxed after a moment: "It doesn't matter, there is a storm in Beijing, so he might as well go and hide."
"It's good if you can think so," Lu Shangshu smiled, and then changed the topic: "This time your brother fell into the water, there are rumors outside that Dongchang did it. Did you want to touch Xia Zhang?"
"No, no," Lu Hanjiang waved his hand: "Xia Zhang is the admiral of Dongchang. Touching him would be like pulling out Eunuch Cao Yuan's teeth. I don't want to push everyone to the opposite side. Jin Yiwei is already enough to make people hate him, isn't it?
?”
Lu Shangshu nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "If that's the case, why did you let Xu Pinghua pledge it?"
Lu Hanjiang said with a smile: "Xia Zhang is not very courageous, but he is not young either. I know that he will not be at ease, and he also knows that I will not be at ease, so isn't it good now? I can hold Xu Ping, but I can't
The whole matter was suppressed and he was unable to get up or down while being hung up. He did not dare to act rashly even if he was anxious."
Lu Shangshu understood that Xu Ping was a certain signal. If Lu Hanjiang made a fuss about this person, he would start an all-out war with Dongchang. At this time when the situation is still unclear, such an approach is obviously too radical.
However, if this person was let go, there was no guarantee that Dongchang would do something small next time, so he detained the person and forced him to give a confession, but he did not rush to report it, but continued the interrogation in order to take advantage of Dongchang.
Xia Zhang is a little smart, but not much. Such a person is prone to looking forward and backward when doing things. A little profit can make him desperate. Similarly, a little crisis can make him stop at the edge.
Xu Ping's outcome is uncertain, and Xia Zhang will always be undecided. Lu Hanjiang actually has no idea about Dongchang, he just doesn't want to face Cao Yuan in advance because of these people.
The palace has already issued a decree. The princess will enter the palace tomorrow to raise the fetus. The imperial concubine will take care of her personally. Although I believe in Axiu's ability, the three major factories in the inner palace are not vegetarians. There is really no need to grudge Cao Yuan in advance.
Xia Zhang might get angry because he couldn't understand Lu Hanjiang's tricks, but Cao Yuan, an old fox, must understand.
Now that the war has begun, no matter whether they win or lose, it is all about making wedding clothes for others. Once the emperor and his ministers, Cao Yuan, the eunuch who held the seal, also received a high position of power because of the emperor's favor. When the new emperor ascends the throne, his fate will not be the same.
How much better is Jinyiwei?
"It's okay, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guards now, you can think about what to do yourself." After listening to Lu Hanjiang's answer, Lu Shangshu replied calmly. To be honest, it was a bit irresponsible.
.
Lu Hanjiang said angrily: "If uncle, you and the old man hadn't been stingy and refused to show me their trump card, why would I have to be so cautious?"
"Brother Meng has always done things like this. I don't want to overstep my authority." Lu Shangshu chuckled and said: "By the way, you have been back in Beijing for many days and have not yet visited the master. This is not good. It is easy for others to gossip behind your back.
"
"If they like to talk, let them talk."
Although he was complaining like this, Lu Hanjiang still said in a good-natured manner: "Okay, I'll go see how the old man looks like tomorrow."
