After Mu Anzhi returned home in the evening, Li Yuhua told Mu Anzhi what happened at Ci'en Palace.
The candlelight reflected the sadness in Li Yuhua's eyes, "The Imperial Grandmother said so, I think we will definitely suffer the loss this time."
"What's there to lose? I'd rather see what kind of dark, decayed and unsightly scene is behind this splendid prosperity." Mu Anzhi's eyes were bright. Even if his future is ruined, he can take a look beyond this prosperous age.
He is also willing to show his true face.
Sadness did not hinder Li Yuhua's good appetite. In Li Yuhua's words, the more difficult it is, the more you have to eat and take good care of your body and bones to prepare for a comeback in the future.
When Mu Anzhi saw that Li Yuhua had eaten two bowls of rice, he thought she would skip the late-night snack. As a result, Li Yuhua also had a late-night snack.
Since he had the tacit approval of Emperor Mu Xuan and Queen Mother Lan, Mu Anzhi went free to investigate Taiping Nunnery.
Mu Anzhi's only concern is Hua and Lu. Hua Changshi and Lu Changshi are both his right-hand men. They have not known each other for a long time, and they are both talented people. Mu Anzhi's own future is slim, but
I didn’t want to inconvenience Hua and Lu, so I had to explain it clearly to them beforehand.
The next day, Mu Anzhi did not go to the morning court. When Hua and Shi came to the house to serve as errands, Mu Anzhi truthfully explained to the two of them the in-depth investigation of Taiping Nunnery. Hua Changshi was worried and said, "It stands to reason that your highness will find out what happened to Princess Yunzhang and the empress."
The matter of Taiping Nunnery can be left to the emperor's orders. But now a sister-in-law of Taiping Nunnery is being held in the Ministry of Punishment, and I'm afraid that those who are interested will think too much about it."
Lu Changshi also said, "This matter is a dilemma."
"I need to find out what happened at Taiping Nunnery. We will work together. Once this matter is investigated, my future will be unpredictable. You two should consider it carefully. Even if you have other plans, this is human nature. I don't blame you.
"Mu Anzhi has been through the changes of the world for a long time, so he speaks clearly. He is not afraid of the open and secret arrows from his enemies, but he does not want his close friends to betray him. Instead of tying up their future, it is better to let them go.
Hua and Lu smiled bitterly, "How can we be the ones who betray the Lord?"
"This is not a betrayal of the Lord. Let's be honest. When you are on duty, you get a salary from the imperial court. You have always been dedicated, but none of you is a member of a big family. I am trapped in Taiping Nunnery and my future is unclear, let alone you two.
People? Hua Changshi, you have many children and grandchildren. If you are implicated by me, I am afraid that the future of your children and grandchildren will be affected. Lu Changshi, although your family has a small population, you are also a young and talented person. Once you are regarded as my arm, your official career will be affected.
It would be a pity if we were afraid that it would be wasted."
Mu Anzhi waved his hand, "You don't have to answer me now, but you need to think clearly about this matter. This is by no means a trivial matter. The blessings and misfortunes of life may lie in this matter."
The indoor heater radiates heat silently, and the narcissus in sweet white porcelain on the flower table stretches out its long leaf veins and blooms into lingering flowers, with a lingering warm fragrance.
Hua Changshi and Lu Changshi's thoughts were stirred up by Mu Anzhi's calm voice. The two of them looked solemn. Lu Changshi was young and took the lead in asking, "Excuse me for being so presumptuous. Your Highness knows the stakes here, so why not?"
Do you want to get to the bottom of the matter of Taiping Nunnery? With all due respect, there is no clear purpose at present. Even if Your Highness finds out the matter of Taiping Nunnery, it remains to be seen whether the imperial court will adopt it! Your Highness will not be in a dilemma at this time."
"Whether I check or not, the court will definitely not accept it." Mu Anzhi and Emperor Mu Xuan were father and son for two generations, in and out of dreams. He understood Emperor Mu Xuan's ruthlessness better than anyone, and he also understood the ruthlessness of imperial power better than anyone. What's more,
Queen Mother Lan almost made it clear that he would definitely suffer some grievances in this case. Mu Anzhi said calmly, "If I investigate this matter, I will definitely be unhappy inside and out."
"Then why, Your Highness..." Hua Changshi asked softly.
Why go through all the trouble? Why destroy your own future?
The clear morning light slanted into Mu Anzhi's eyes from the glazed window. The light in Mu Anzhi's eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips evoked some shallow warmth that could only be understood. He seemed to be saying to himself, "Me too
I don’t understand why there are so many overt and covert rules in the world. Why should I do things according to the rules of this imperial capital? Public anger cannot be tolerated. If everyone is wrong, all we can do is to continue to hide this mistake and continue this prosperous age.
Well? So, what is the difference between us and the nuns in Taiping Temple? What about those people who have been cursed and calculated? Who will give them injustice and justice? Isn’t it that we make laws and rules?
Can the wronged complain about their grievances, but can the evil be punished? We have spent more than ten years in poverty reading the books of sages, and why have we done so?"
Mu Anzhi sighed sadly, "What happened?"
He sought desperately in his dream, but he couldn't get the emperor's heart and throne. When he woke up from the dream, he was left with endless emptiness and sadness. Now, he is more willing to seriously try a case and do a down-to-earth thing. Even if
The future is hopeless, but in his life, he still made this small and insignificant achievement.
When Lu Changshi came home in the evening, he saw the concierge running back and forth like ants on a hot pot. As soon as he saw Lu Changshi riding home, the concierge rushed towards him and replied with a panicked look on his face, "Sir, the uncle is here.
!”
Lu Changshi's face darkened, his eyebrows raised and he glared at the concierge, "You bastard, I'm the only one in our family, where did you come from?"
The concierge hesitated and didn't dare to reply. He thought to himself, "Isn't your brother the uncle? He can't be called the second master, right? The second master is your old man!"
Lu Changshi threw the reins to the concierge, raised his long legs, swung his hems, and stepped into the door of the mansion.
Lu Shangshu was closing his eyes when there was a burst of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, still lazily and with a mocking tone, "Master Shangshu came down to my humble abode, do you have any advice?"
Lu Shangshu was holding a white porcelain tea cup in his hand. After hearing this, he opened his eyes lightly and saw Lu Changshi wearing a mink fur cap with a piece of jadeite embedded in the middle of the brim. The dark fur was light and a bright red strip was exposed at the hem.
The brocade official robe, coupled with the handsome face of Mr. Lu Shi, exudes a dignified and clean air of a descendant of a noble family.
There is still some appearance.
Lu Shangshu thought to himself, put down the tea cup, took out an official document from his sleeve and put it on the table at hand. He tapped his fingertips and said, "The young minister of Honglu Temple is vacant, and he is the fifth rank."
Lu Changshi was so angry that even if His Highness the Third Prince broke the stove, it would not be your turn to give alms!
Lu Shangshu glanced at Lu Changshi, "You think I'm doing it for you, but just to prevent our Lu family from being implicated by you!" After saying that, he left the appointment document and stood up to leave.
Lu Changshi felt a breath of anger rising straight to the top of his head, thinking that I didn't invite you, what kind of face are you! He grabbed the document and threw it at Lu Shangshu's face. Lu Shangshu reached out to catch the document and slapped it with his backhand.
Lu Changshi was being slapped on the face. Lu Changshi's face felt hot and painful, and he became more and more angry. He swiped Lu Shangshu's face twice. Lu Shangshu was on guard and turned his face away from Lu Changshi's claws just in time.
, Lu Shangshu's hands were like lightning, and he locked Lu Changshi's wrists with one hand, and said calmly, "Don't overestimate your own capabilities. I told you before that if you are not an opponent, you will be honest and obedient. Today is me, and I won't care about you. In other words,
Others don’t know how to die.”
After finishing speaking, he pushed Lu Changshi backwards with strong force of his arms. Lu Changshi stuttered back a few steps until he reached the painted pillar at the bottom of the corridor before he barely stopped. Lu Changshi was so angry that he wanted to fight for Lu Shangshu.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shangshu had already strode away, leaving only a tall figure walking away in the night.
Late at night, Hua Changshi got up, put on his clothes, and gently opened the door. The cold night came and the sky was filled with stars. Hua Changshi suddenly became energetic and secretly praised the good night in his heart.
Then there was a soft knock on the door of the compartment, and Hua Jian also put on his clothes and came out. Hua Changshi looked at his eldest son and said reproachfully, "You got cold at night, what did you do when you got up?" Living in the imperial capital is not easy. The land and houses in the imperial capital are expensive, so
This small house was provided by the imperial court for officials. The eldest son came to the imperial capital from his hometown to serve him, and the second and third sons lived in their hometown.
Hua Jian said, "This fur coat is thick, so it's not cold at all."
Hua Changshi looked at the thick fur on his eldest son. This clothes was the clothes coupon issued by His Highness the Third Prince on his birthday. He had enough winter clothes, so he used the coupons to cut a fur coat for his eldest son. The craftsmanship of Qianzhenfang, regardless of the materials used,
Both needlework and thread are excellent.
The father and son stood in front of the house and looked at the stars. Hua Jian asked, "Seeing that my father only used a few chopsticks for dinner, is he worried?"
Hua Changshi sighed, "I have been addicted to music, chess, calligraphy and painting all my life, and have never made any achievements in political affairs. Later, I was assigned to be the chief historian in the residence of the Third Highness. Now that the Third Highness is involved in the Taiping Temple incident, I am now old and decrepit.
Pingping, I'm just worried about hurting you."
Under the starlight, Hua Changshi's gray hair was messy under the brim of his hat, and his usually gentle and calm face rarely showed some doubts. Hua Jian said warmly, "My second brother and my third brother have not entered the officialdom, but they have become officials.
Father can act from the heart. Seeking truth from things and sincerity from the heart is what father taught us."
Hua Changshi laughed and said, "I am the one in charge who is confused."
"My father loves us so much that we have this mystery."
The father and son went to the study to chat for half the night, until the sky got slightly brighter. Hua Changshi showed no signs of fatigue and changed into his official uniform in high spirits before going to the Third Prince's Mansion. Also in high spirits was Lu Changshi.
Chang Shi was still a little hesitant about finding another job, but when he was provoked by Lu Shangshu, Lu Changshi decided to fight with the third prince to the end. When he was unlucky, he tried to let Lu Shangshu suffer the consequences together to relieve his anger!
There was just a swollen mark on Lu Changshi's face. It was obvious that Lu Changshi had suffered a loss!
