Until the next day in court, the emperor did not mention Zhao Shilang again, let alone Chen, the chief of staff, who had already removed his official title. However, the officials who filed out of Fengtian Palace all knew that Zhao
The Minister of War, the Minister of War, may only be said to have lost his holy family and is in danger. Chief Chen, the "merely" sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is really over!
Who could make him unable to bear the provocation? He was not thick-skinned enough afterwards and even slapped Wusha Mao directly!
Savoring the twists and turns of today's court meeting, only a few people realized that the eldest prince and the second prince, the two brothers who were supposed to be the central figures, were actually ignored in the end. The emperor even seemed to have forgotten about it and did not mention it at all.
How to deal with the problem of the second prince. Most people's attention was focused on Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang, the teachers and students.
No one expected that the marriage of a former dandy fat man would attract such attention from the emperor. No one expected that Zhang Shou would easily open the box that had been sealed for decades in full view of the public, and then the emperor would return it.
He gave away Taizu's relics in the box, which made people crazy with jealousy!
At this moment, Zhang Shou ignored the various looks and was talking to Liu Shilang and Lu Wan with a smile. As for Lu Sanlang... the fat man who was a generation shorter followed closely behind, pricking up his ears.
While eavesdropping, they are also wary of others eavesdropping on what they are saying.
In the end, Lu Wan decided to go home and make the wedding ceremony in order to prevent a long night of nightmares. Liu Shilang naturally agreed, so he immediately said he would go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to take a leave of absence, and then left in a hurry.
As soon as the prospective in-laws left, Lu Wan's smile suddenly faded by more than half. When they left the left gate of Chang'an, what was waiting there was not the horses they came with, but a carriage with a Lufu brand. When getting on the carriage, Lu Wan
Seeing Lu Sanlang happily following Zhang Shou and boarding the car, he immediately got angry and scolded: "Whatever you want to say, do you think Fengtian Palace is the Imperial College?"
Lu Sanlang, who was habitually rebellious, raised his head and said confidently: "Did I say something wrong? That Zhao Shilang knows nothing about arithmetic, and he still wants to point fingers at Jiuzhangtang. Who does he think he is? His son is
He is an idiot who still makes excuses for being stupid, and his father is the same. He is just jealous and jealous of you for having such a good son like me!"
Zhang Shou saw that the expressions on Lu Wan's face were so colorful and wonderful that he couldn't help but laugh: "Lu Zhu, what are you talking about? Your father has defended you so much in front of others today, why, you must
Your father praises you so much that you are as happy as Zhao Shilang used to show off his son everywhere."
Lu Sanlang was just about to say what was wrong with that, when he saw his father staring at him with an unkind expression. Thinking that the engagement was imminent, he immediately shut up and sat there with his hands down and his head bowed. The next moment, he heard Lu
Wan snorted coldly.
"Hmph, if you weren't lucky enough to follow Dr. Zhang and open the box, do you think today's court session would be so easy? Keep your eyes open from now on and remember who is easy to mess with and who is not.
If you really mess with me..." Lu Wan paused for a moment, then burst out a murderous sentence from between his teeth, "Then kill them all!"
Lu Sanlang raised his head in surprise, but Zhang Shou asked with a smile: "Then why didn't Lu Shangshu kill all Duke Zhao before?"
When you teach your son in the future, you must not do it in front of Zhang Shou. This guy who seems to have outstanding manners and is like a gentleman is really good at taking advantage of loopholes, and he can seal his throat with a sword at every turn!
Lu Wan finally managed to restrain his embarrassment. This time, he was not like the last time he avoided the topic in the Ge Mansion, and then pushed others out of the conversation. He just said angrily: "Official circles are always the enemy.
It’s hard to distinguish between friends, and there are so many situations where you are neither an enemy nor a friend, but also an enemy or a friend. I was just pretending at the beginning..."
The Confucian scholar in the cabinet behind him had to stop his activities. Is he still chasing Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing and seeking death? If not, he would not have chosen someone with whom Zhu Jing had a good relationship for his younger son.
The daughter of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhang Shou got a similar answer, so he stopped asking any more questions. Even Lu Sanlang, who wanted to continue chasing and beating Lu Wan, was stopped by him with his eyes. On the next journey, he
I had a serious exchange with Lu Wan about a series of procedures and opinions on the Liu family’s decisions for today’s trip.
As for the person involved, Lu Sanlang himself... Haha, these days, juniors who want to get married have no human rights! If it weren't for a warm-hearted person like Zhu Ying, Lu Sanlang would have waited for a blind marriage!
Not only was he not allowed to go to Liu's house, Lu Sanlang was driven out of the car by Lu Wan and Zhang Shou on the way. Zhang Shou ordered people to ride to the Imperial Academy and publicize some of what happened in Fengtian Hall today to the majority of the supervisors. By the way, the emperor
The reward was also notified in advance. Lu Wan said with complicated emotions: "Since you keep saying that you are the chief of the prison, remember to do it well!"
"Teacher, don't worry." Lu Sanlang still said the word "teacher" very smoothly in front of outsiders. When he saw Zhang Shou glare at him, he immediately said with a playful smile, "Don't worry, dad, everyone knows that you
Son, I am now a prodigal son who cannot be exchanged for gold!"
Seeing Lu Sanlang running away quickly, Lu Wan, who was about to slap him, took back his slap, but he still felt a little aggrieved. Next, he took Zhang Shou home, and first sent someone to announce the good news to his wife, and then
Then he ordered the butler to bring out the prepared wedding gift. There was no doubt that it was a big white goose that was jumping around.
As for why they are not live geese, it is very simple. Emperor Taizu said that geese are precious birds, and they are easily injured when captured alive. Due to old customs over the years, the number has dropped sharply. Therefore, it is mandatory to use white geese instead, regardless of the nobles of the clan, civil or military officials.
The wild geese served as a ritual, and this became a typical example of changing customs.
Although according to general practice, it is decided that Lu Wan, the father, does not need to show up in person for things like acceptance. However, let alone today's marriage, which was brought to Fengtian Palace, just to show his point.
Sincerity, Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War naturally wanted to take action in person, and even dragged Zhang Shou along with him. Even Mrs. Zhen, who was still in bed yesterday, almost went to meet her in-laws in person.
Fortunately, Lu Wan heard that Liu Shilang mentioned his somewhat arrogant wife and kept Mrs. Zhen at home to recuperate. When he and Zhang Shou arrived at the Liu Mansion, they went through a series of procedures and were finally invited by Liu Shilang.
When drinking tea in the study, I was even more glad that Mrs. Zhen didn't come.
"My wife suddenly fell ill, so I will definitely take time out to see you two later."
Liu Shilang was also one of the great supporters of Emperor Taizu's various ancestral precepts, and did not think there was anything wrong with letting his daughter come out to meet his prospective father-in-law and his fiancé's teacher. At this time, after he personally poured tea for Lu Wan and Zhang Shou, he carefully said every word
Asked: "Today the emperor has not mentioned the second prince. I dare to ask Lu Shangshu and Dr. Zhang, how do you think this matter will end?"
I have experienced the emperor's willfulness several times, but I don't know what he thinks!
Zhang Shou cursed in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still said lightly: "It's probably just an order and then a grounding?"
The most important thing is that the second prince, like the eldest prince, has not been granted the title of king, so there is no way to change his title! He really hopes that the emperor can move the throne, but God knows if there is any family law in the palace!
Lu Wan said lightly: "The second prince is naturally lagging behind in terms of proficiency. Coupled with this impulsive and impulsive character, the emperor will definitely teach him a profound lesson this time. He has never cared about his duties. Liu
Brother, don’t worry about offending him.”
Liu Shilang suddenly raised his eyebrows: "He insulted the reputation of our family, even if I offended him! I'm afraid that the emperor won't punish him severely, and he will return to his old ways in the future! Huh, even if I don't do this official job, I still have to do it for my little daughter.
Justice!"
Seeing that Minister Liu actually vowed to pursue the matter to the end, Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and suddenly looked sideways at Zhang Shou and said, "It depends on whether Dr. Zhang is willing to ask Miss Zhu to come forward."
"Your Majesty, how can Yingying, a junior, have any influence?" Zhang Shou never mentioned that Zhu Ying had already entered the palace last night, and simply evaded it, "Besides, in Fengtian Palace, we have already spoken so seriously.
, and if the emperor wants to settle the matter, he will definitely not lift the lid directly. It can be seen that the emperor has a clear conscience and will definitely give justice to the Lu and Liu families."
Liu Shilang couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, while Lu Wan flashed his eyes and said haha. At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door gently, followed by an announcement: "Master, Miss Zhu is here outside the door. She
She was originally going to see the fourth girl, but she heard that Lu Shangshu and Dr. Zhang came to the house to make a decision, so she said she wanted to see Dr. Zhang."
Seeing the eyes of Lu Wan and Liu Shilang staring at him for an instant, Zhang Shou took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, and then said with a smile: "Tell Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrives, I will go and see Yingying."
When Liu Shilang saw Zhang Shou getting up and going out so openly, as if he didn't care about being an unmarried couple at all. Thinking that he had heard the truth behind the encounter from his daughter last night, he couldn't help but look strange. As soon as Zhang Shou went out, he
Looking at Lu Wan, she asked: "Brother Lu, can your Sanlang tell you what happened last night on the street?"
As soon as Lu Wan heard this, he knew that the young daughter of the Liu family might also tell the truth. He could only cough dryly and said: "That boy Lu Zhu told me everything. My children are not sensible, but Miss Zhu is kind-hearted.
,Brother Liu, please bear with me."
When Liu Shilang heard that Lu Sanlang actually confessed, the only grudge he had was gone. He laughed loudly and said: "What the hell, they don't know that we are already talking about marriage, but we are still talking about it in private."
Talking about each other is not a life-long decision, but just looking at each other on the street, no matter how sinful it is, it is also fate!"
In the Fengtian Hall, the in-laws also insisted that their elders planned the meeting. Now that he said this, Lu Wan's heart finally fell to the ground. He raised the tea cup with a smile and said meaningfully: "In that case, I will take the tea with you."
Thank you for the wine, Brother Liu!"
"No, I have to thank Brother Lu! Sanlang can stand up and speak out for such a good son. Brother Lu has a really good tutor!"
Being complimented like this, Lu Wan almost choked on the sip of tea he just drank, and felt a little bitter in his heart.
Was Lu Zhu raised by his good tutor? That big fat son... He really didn't know how Zhang Shou raised him!
