After the new emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded Taifu Lu Chengzu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info For a while, the Manchu courtiers and officials thought that the Taifu Mansion supported the emperor's new policy and strongly supported the "cutting of the domain".

made Princess Yan force her daughter-in-law Lu Ruxue to express her attitude and draw a line with her mother's family. However, after Mu Xuanyang heard about it, he persuaded his father to allow him to go to the Taifu Mansion to visit Mrs. Lu.

"Father, the Taifu Mansion is loyal to the emperor and never gets involved in party disputes, and the emperor's heavy reward naturally makes the courtiers think that the Taifu Mansion is on the emperor's side. ”

But the son felt that this matter still needs to be carefully considered, if Mrs. Lu really supports the new policy, how can he call himself sick, I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding. ”

After listening to his son's persuasion, King Yan also felt that something was wrong, so before he set off, he allowed his son to visit Taifu's mansion.

Lu Taifu said that he was sick, and as early as the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he hung out a "thank you card" in the house. But Mu Xuanyang and Taifu Mansion are in-laws, so they are naturally not guests.

Lu Chongwen came out of the door to greet him, "Why didn't my cousin come back with my brother-in-law, but how unwell was my body?" Calculating the time, it has been more than three months since Lu Ruxue got married, and Lu Chongwen thought that his cousin was happy.

"My father plans to set off for Beiping tomorrow, and Ruxue is in the house to help Jiaci take care of the middle feed, and he can't leave. But I was worried about my grandfather and grandmother, so I asked me to come over and say hello to the second elder. ”

Although Mu Xuanyang made an excuse for his wife and put down his body and was sincere, Lu Chongwen still guessed that after his cousin returned to Beijing, he only exchanged letters with his mother's family, but he did not see her for a long time. Today, Mu Xuanyang came to the door, and his cousin was unable to accompany him, even if he was not feeling unwell, then there was only one possibility, which was not allowed by his mother-in-law, Princess Yan.

Sighing, he led the person into the side hall. Old lady Lu and eldest master Lu Chengzu, second master Lu Chengzong, and Lu Chongwu have long been waiting here.

Everyone saluted separately, and Brother Lu Chongwen accompanied Mu Xuanyang to the inner courtyard to greet Mrs. Tai, and then returned to the outer courtyard to speak.

"Ruxue has been married for more than three months, but most of them are in a hurry, and her body can still eat?" The old lady was worried about her granddaughter, but she also knew that her granddaughter was already married, so she had no freedom. Without the permission of his mother-in-law, even if he passes through the door, he is not allowed to enter.

"Please rest assured that although the past few months have been complicated, such as the snow has decreased slightly, he has been conditioned with medicinal food every day, and his body is fine. ”

Mu Xuanyang didn't dare to hide anything, Lu Ruxue often wrote back to the house, and in those days when she entered the palace, the people in the Lu Mansion must have inquired about her situation. So for the sake of Old Lady An Lu's heart, the best thing is to tell the truth.

"Ruxue, that child, has been good at observing words and emotions since he was a child, and he often worries and doubts too much, and he needs more persuasion from Hongxuan. Old lady Lu told her grandson-in-law a few more words, and then she got down to business.

"You're here, but you're entrusted by King Yan?"

"Back to my grandfather's words, it was not all entrusted by my father. The eldest uncle said that he was ill, and the younger generation had already guessed that the eldest uncle was unwilling to be rewarded by the emperor at this time. In order to avoid misunderstanding between the two governments because of this matter, he advised his father to resolve the suspicion. ”

When talking to smart people, it is best not to beat around the bush to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"You can see it. Old lady Lu nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at her eldest son, "Bowen, Hongxuan is not an outsider, so let's talk to him!"

It seems that Mu Xuanyang's straightforward attitude has won the trust of Mrs. Lu. Lu Chengzu got his father's permission, so he spoke.

"The day after I was sealed, I resigned and returned to my hometown on the grounds that I was suffering from a dark illness. However, the emperor sent a physician to serve the sick, but he was not allowed to be invited. ”

It was the first time Mu Xuanyang had heard about this, and then he thought about his previous speculation, and he was even more sure that the Taifu Mansion did not support the emperor's new policy, so he had the idea of resigning to avoid trouble.

"It can be said that illness is far from a long-term solution, if the emperor insists, what will happen to the eldest uncle?"

"The emperor intends to 'cut the domain', I don't know how King Yan will choose?" did not answer Mu Xuanyang's question, but Lu Chengzu asked about King Yan's attitude.

That is, the attitude of King Yan, which left and right the attitude of Lu Chengzu towards King Yan's mansion.

"In order to take filial piety, the younger generation is willing to disobey the world. Mu Xuanyang also replied very cleverly, that is, he did not say how King Yan would choose, but he also clearly told the people of the Lu Mansion, "It is inevitable to raise troops to make trouble." Even if it is against the sky, it is intended to be unremitting.

The elders of the Lu Mansion were sincere, Mu Xuanyang replied with sincerity, and Lu Chengzu also nodded with his father. I am very satisfied with Mu Xuanyang's attitude.

"The emperor insisted on implementing the new policy, and if he couldn't advise him, he could only call himself sick. Although it is not a long-term solution, the severity of the illness can always be delayed for several months. What the emperor wants is just that the Taifu Mansion can set an example for hundreds of officials and take a clear position in the new policy. ”

The plan is the best, and Lu Taifu still insists on making a "delay" plan to force the emperor to release him.

"If you still can't, it's not too late to find a way. "It's not that Mrs. Lu didn't think of it, but that he didn't want to show his attitude now. The emperor and the king of Yan and other kings will make frequent moves in the future, and he will watch the fire from the other side before he can make a plan.

"No matter what happens in the future, Ruxue was born in Lu Mansion, and her mother's family will never abandon her. "Old lady Lu is conclusive, which can be regarded as an attitude. If you don't abandon Lu Ruxue, you are equivalent to standing on the side of King Yan. But if you don't give up, it doesn't mean that you support it.

The words are not clear, they don't understand, Mu Xuanyang is also a smart person, and Mrs. Lu has something to say, so he naturally understands it.

"Thank you grandfather for your success! Thank you uncle for your success. "As long as the Taifu Mansion is not directly the enemy of the Yanwang Mansion, it is enough. He didn't want his wife to be caught between her in-laws' family and her mother's family, and she was in a dilemma.

Get what you want to hear, and it's helpless to stay, the old lady brought tea to the guests, Mu Xuanyang got up and left.

Mrs. Tai couldn't meet her granddaughter before returning to Beiping, and she couldn't help complaining. But it was not good to visit Princess Yan at this time, for fear that it would be difficult for her granddaughter to be caught in the middle.

Now that Beijing is not peaceful, the Yanwang Mansion and the Taifu Mansion do not agree politically, even if they receive a letter reporting safety, they still can't help but worry about their granddaughter. Tang's persuasion was repeated, and Mrs. Tai was relieved.

After nightfall, Mu Xuanyang returned to the hospital, and then talked to Lu Ruxue about visiting Taifu's Mansion today.

"My grandfather and grandmother are in good health, but my uncle is just pretending to be sick, and my beloved wife doesn't need to worry. On the contrary, your body has lost a lot, which makes the second elder more worried. ”

Lu Ruxue had already learned about these letters to her family, and what she wanted to know was what kind of attitude her mother's family was. Seeing that Mu Xuanyang refused to say it clearly, he thought that it was different from his guess, so he was inevitably anxious.

Mu Xuanyang didn't mean to hide it, but he didn't want his wife to worry about things outside. But if he didn't tell the truth, it seemed that he couldn't calm his wife's heart, so he had to relay the meaning of the eldest uncle.

"That's good, that's good!" Lu Ruxue thought the same as Mu Xuanyang, as long as it was not regarded as water and fire, there was room for maneuver. What's more, his grandfather's attitude is so clear, after King Yan hears it, he will definitely have less misunderstanding about Taifu's mansion.
