Chapter 164

When the eunuch guarding outside the hall saw Yu Xuan walk out, he stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the Qianqing Palace?"

Yu Xuan said: Go back to the Qianqing Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sanren knew this, but he still had to ask. The queen mother gave him a message and asked the emperor to walk around the palaces of other mothers. So I had to ask, but I didn't dare to say too much. The sedan chair was waiting outside the hall, and it was also prepared for this purpose.

Then look at the two prime ministers who came out of the imperial study and returned to the palace gate. The two of them went back to their homes and didn't say much, but they were thinking about the argument in front of the emperor in front of the emperor in their hearts, how much of it was deliberate, but it was not a mistake, and the main battle in the remarks was also advocated by the two, but it was just a dispute, but it was a fact, and it was also intentional.

Prime Minister Lu Cheng was promoted to a new mansion, and the original Lu Shilang was unwilling to relocate, so he still lived in the original mansion, although it was not as prosperous and rich as the Prime Minister's mansion, but it was more comfortable to live. Lu Shui was dressed in civilian clothes, and when he saw his father returning home, he stepped forward and asked, "Father, how is the border matter?"

Lord Lu stopped, looked at Lu Shui, and said: The situation is becoming more and more urgent, according to this situation, it will not be long before the rebels' troops are afraid of attacking the city.

Lu Shui listened, frowned, and said: It has come to such a point.

Lord Lu nodded and said: Although it is just some useless people who are harassing the people on the border, since then, it has been a long time, but it should not be underestimated. The friction between the two clans will inevitably lead to a fire, and then it will be out of control.

Lu Shuidao: Can my father explain to the emperor?

Lu Dadao: I said it, I want to come to the emperor has his own number in his heart. In the future, you will enter the palace more often so that you can relieve the emperor's worries.

After hearing the words, Lu Shui responded: Yes, father.

Lord Lu nodded and walked away.

Lu Shui stood in place, thinking about what Lord Lu said, as he said, this war is inevitable, and it seems that the training needs to be more diligent.

Lord Lu went all the way back to the study, took off his official uniform and hat, changed into civilian clothes, and sat behind the desk. Before the emperor came to the future, Prime Minister Du Cheng pulled him aside and said: Prime Minister Lu, this border matter, in my opinion, is not a big deal. If you want the two ladies of the harem to be favored, this is the best opportunity.

Hearing this, Lord Lu couldn't help but concentrate.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Du Cheng continued: Although there are not many adults who came this time, they can play a pivotal role in the future. The border affairs are uncertain, causing the emperor to worry about it for days. At this time, the emperor wants to be the advice of the courtiers, the views on this matter and the future practice. In the imperial study, there will be you and I as the leader, as long as I am the main and you are the main battle, the two sides are deadlocked, and the courtiers will also be divided into two factions, so that the emperor wants to tend to which side, will definitely take into account the other side, only if you and I have the same statement, the courtiers and officials will hold the same word, and the emperor can solve his worries. In this way, the emperor will only be good to the two mothers in the harem, and you and I will share their worries.

Lord Lu didn't expect that what he was going to say was this, as a courtier, it was his duty to share the emperor's worries, but he used this to force the emperor to favor his daughter. He couldn't do that kind of thing. said: What Master Du said, I don't think it's appropriate.

Du Cheng was prepared for a long time, and he was not annoyed after listening to the words, but said: What Lord Lu said is right, there is indeed something wrong. It is our duty for you and me as courtiers to share the emperor's worries, but if we only need you and I to pay more attention to our own opinions and make the emperor feel that something needs to be done, wouldn't it be a good thing that our daughter can enjoy wealth and glory in peace! Prime Minister Du Cheng don't think about it too much, you and I have different opinions, and we just hold our own opinions, so why bother with it.

Lord Lu couldn't mind this matter, and since he returned home, he has been sitting in the study and pondering.

Looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the veritable Prime Minister's Mansion, there are seven layers of bluestone steps in front of the wide Vermilion Mansion, and the stone belts on both sides are also according to the pomp of the official rank. Hundreds of birds in the house contend, countless flowers and plants, rockery stone pavilions are scattered, dozens of large and small courtyards before and after, hundreds of slaves in the house, taken care of by more than a dozen stewards, the housekeeper was originally a document in the prefect's yamen, written with a good hand, and shrewd, only to be caught by Prime Minister Du Cheng at a glance, included in the house.

When Prime Minister Du Cheng returned home, the housekeeper saw it, stepped forward to greet him, and said: Master, this hour, there is an accident in the palace?

Seeing Prime Minister Du Cheng wearing an official uniform, he was suspicious, so he asked like this.

I only heard Master Du reply: It's just a border nuisance, not a big deal. However, there are a few maids added to the house, and there are many affairs in the house, so you have to be more careful, and the account books of the account room are calculated in the next few days, show them to me.

Butler: Yes, sir.

Those maids are for the concubines in the back room, this is a big business, so many courtyards, it's a pity that no one lives, Prime Minister Du Cheng made a calculation, and in response to his own identity, he accepted a few concubines into the house. The main house wanted to take care of it, but because the official position of the mother's family was not as good as that of Lord Du, it was impossible to threaten it, so he complained, although Lord Du hid and made people make trouble. Fortunately, Mrs. Du was born in a famous family, knew how to be courteous, righteous and honest, and did not dare to publicize the ugliness of the family, embarrassing face, and had to swallow the bitter water in her stomach.

Prime Minister Du Cheng is also a good-looking person, no matter how many concubines he spoils, his wife and children are still the most important, so he has always been making trouble, but he has never treated her mother and daughter badly. Seeing that Mrs. Du no longer manages the affairs of the house, nor does she force it, all the big and small matters in the house are handed over to the housekeeper.

The border matter is small, and for Prime Minister Du Cheng, whether Du Youlan is favored or not is the most important thing now. Prime Minister Du Cheng thought about it in the study, and finally thought that although the emperor valued him and Lord Lu, he did not show his heart to what they said in the imperial study, but according to the emperor's temperament, nine times out of ten it is the main battle rather than the main peace, and although the military power is controlled by Lord Lu, the most important military talisman is held by the emperor himself, and if he really sends troops, no one can stop him. I really don't know what to do.

Prime Minister Du Cheng paced back and forth, walking dozens of times. Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration, if you want to be able to contain the emperor, except for the queen mother, you can't find a second person.

After thinking about it, Prime Minister Du Cheng did not take off his official uniform, went straight out of the house, and went to the palace gate in a sedan chair. The guards guarding the palace gate saw that Prime Minister Du Cheng was about to enter the palace again, so they couldn't help but step forward to find out the details. Prime Minister Du Cheng only said that he had something important to do and went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and he would not stay for too long. When the guards heard this, they couldn't stop them again, so they let them go.

The sedan chair could only wait outside the palace gate, and after Lord Du entered the palace gate, he rushed all the way to the dormitory where the queen mother lived.
