"Third brother, a strange thing, a big strange thing." Lu Xun, who had not followed the beautiful maid for the first time beside him, walked into the study excitedly, and said with flying eyebrows, "The Yingchuan Zhong family married to the Shangdang Xu family, that widowed woman, you know?" She has frequently visited Guangling Cui's house these days! ”

Lu Jue put down the book in his hand and motioned for his younger brother to sit down, and then said lightly: "Mrs. Zhong visited the Cui family? I remember that the daughter of the head of the Cui family happens to be one year younger than Xu Heng, right? I don't know what the temperament and reputation are? ”

He said "I don't know", but his eyes fell on Lu Xun, obviously believing that Lu Xun knew the inside story.

Seeing his brother so calm, Lu Xun's interest was swept away by most of the time, but when he mentioned that Miss Cui, he showed a gloating smile: "This young lady from the Cui family is born with a beautiful appearance and a very good background, but her temperament is extremely arrogant and arrogant, and she can't tolerate others refusing to say it, and she also said that the wind is the rain, if she collides with Xu Heng...... There's a lot to see! ”

"They are in the party, we are in Jiankang, even if there is a good show, you can't see it." Lu Jue coldly poured a sentence on his overly excited younger brother, pondered for a moment, and then said with some emotion, "Xu Fujun has been in Yangzhai these days, and he has been quite close to Qingzhou Mu Shen Fujun, and now he plans to give Xu Hengding such a marriage, obviously he is not very optimistic about our family surnamed Wu, and he has no expectations for Guo Dasima, who is above the top of the family surnamed Qiao, and plans to move closer to the family of Qingxu Erzhou." ”

When Lu Xun heard this, he showed a little disdain: "Qingxu family? What kind of good thing can they last so long? The state pastors, assassins, and governors sent by the imperial court to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, moved the matter of salt and iron a little, either 'low ability and invited him back to the court'; or 'got sick' and died inexplicably; all of them who stayed alive and stayed in office were full of money, saying that they were salt and iron official camps, but they had been controlled by them for so long...... The family surnamed Qiao has always turned their faces and did not recognize people, but the Qingxu family is very benevolent and moral? At the critical moment, even if your own family can give it up, don't the so-called allies just throw it away? Instead of looking for them, it is better to form an alliance with the northern surname family in Jizhou, or simply form an alliance with the Liang family and be safe! ”

Whether it was Lu Jue who heard the news, or Lu Xun who said the news, except for briefly mentioning Miss Cui's appearance and temperament once, he didn't mention it at all. Because it doesn't matter to them, or to the men of this era, in the slightest.

The marriage of a man and the marriage of a woman in a family is an exchange of covenants and interests. Even if the other party looks like no salt, even if the other party has a tyrannical temperament, as long as it is named "for the family", you have to tolerate it no matter what—unless you are willing to give up the favorable conditions given by the family and become an exiled commoner.

As for such a marriage, will it be happy...... Men can take concubines, women can cheat, and women with higher status can directly accept male pets, just have a good time, and care about these boring things?

Seeing that he said a lot of words, his brother was silent, and Lu Xun thought that he had said something wrong, so he asked with some anxiety: "Third brother......"

"Thinking of an annoying thing, it's just a little breathless." Lu Jue waved his hand, took out a book and silk, and handed it to his younger brother, while saying, "You said that the Qingxu family has always had milk and is a mother, and if you don't have benefits, you can casually turn your face and deny people, why not the one in the palace?" The biological son is also beaten and scolded, and as soon as the title is cut, he becomes a commoner......"

Lu Xun took the letter from the lord of the Lu family, and quickly glanced at the side, only to know that there had been a major incident in the palace recently - the eleventh son of the saint, the king of Guangping, was overly extravagant, not to mention killing the concubine, and also arsoning with slaves to commit murder, the emperor was angry, and cut his title to white ding, not to mention, even his own grandson's son and county lord were stripped away, and even the county king's mansion was taken back, allowing their family to live in a small Zhuangzi and be a landlord who lived by eating and harvesting.

A few lines of words, revealing the information, but Lu Xun's heart tightened.

Excessive extravagance? Kill the concubine? Committing murder?

It sounds to the ears of the people, the king of Guangping County has done these things, and it is enough to cut a title, and maybe he will sing the praises of how the saint is wise and martial, and he will kill his relatives in righteousness, but in the eyes of the family, these crimes are simply a joke!

Who hasn't shown off? Who hasn't dealt with a few slaves? When someone's children went out to walk their dogs and hunt, they didn't trample on the farmland and hurt the people's stalls? If these little things can make a county king be cut off, no one in the court of Daqi is worthy of being an official - there is really no official himself or his family who has not done these things.

"The king of Guangping has always been very close to the prince." Lu Xun frowned, and asked his brother a little anxiously, "Is it possible, the Holy Lord is ...... to the prince Dissatisfied? ”

Queen Guo, the mother of the crown prince, was born in the first family with the surname of Qiao, and the famous surname is Zhending Guo, and there is an elder brother who is the great Sima, and the family of overseas Chinese, especially Zhending Guo, is naturally his solid backing. But for an emperor who has a strong desire to control and has been fighting with the family for many years, whether it is the prince's maternal family or his behavior of being close to his maternal family, it is very eye-catching.

If it weren't for the emperor's deliberate support and suppression, the eldest prince Guangning would not be able to fight against the crown prince, and the two factions would be inextricably linked. But in the previous battles, no matter how fierce they were, the emperor had never done anything to his son.

The king of Quang Binh is the right-hand man of the crown prince and the first prince to be beheaded.

It stands to reason that as the head of the family surnamed Wu, brothers Lu Jue and Lu Xun should be cheering for this news, but the truth is the opposite.

They are worried, very worried.

"The saint is getting older." Lu Xun said such a sentence softly and slowly, and then did not say any more, but Lu Xun already understood what he meant.

When people are old, there will be more suspicions, and in order to accumulate virtue for themselves, no matter how iron-blooded and tough the emperor is, his wrists will be softer. If it was originally changed to killing, maybe it will be changed to exile; Those who were originally going to be exiled may just have taken office; Those who were originally going to be taken out of office were demoted at most...... But for his son, as well as the many staff members who jumped up and down beside his son, and couldn't wait to get the "dragon skill", the softness and hardness of this emperor's wrist were just the opposite.

No matter how much the courtier offends the emperor, he is just an outsider, and it is not too difficult to tolerate the other party's rudeness. But the son who was in the prime of life stared at his chair and hoped that he would die soon...... As long as he thinks like this, the son is no longer a son, but becomes an enemy who should be put to death and completely suppressed.

"No matter how oppressed the prince is, as long as he doesn't leave this world, he is the emperor's serious son-in-law, and no one can get past it." Lu Xun said word by word, extremely difficult, very solemn, and very slow, "But the king of Guangning County...... To put it mildly, if he falls into the dust, it will be difficult to turn over. ”

When Lu Jue heard this, he shook his head lightly: "These two people are one of the elders and the other is not very dangerous." The prince who is hidden in the shadows, has no advantages, and peeps into the throne is the most terrifying. If the Holy One can always stay awake and not do anything to his son, what can he do...... people can't afford to stir up too much of a storm, but if they are holy, they ...... The court and harem, I'm afraid it's going to be messy. ”

Speaking of this, he looked awe-inspiring and asked, "What about our inside line in Huaqing Palace?" Since then, I have rarely had contact with him, and in addition, the transaction with Mrs. Anxin has been immediately reined in, and even if I offend her, I will not hesitate to do anything if necessary! ”

The "Huaqing Palace" in his mouth is a dojo specially opened up in the palace for the emperor's alchemy. It was Lu Xun who swallowed his saliva, and then said with some hesitation: "Third brother, Huaqing Palace and Mrs. An Xin are all celebrities around Shengshang, and it is rare to be able to speak." It took a lot of effort and a lot of money to get through their relationship, and now it'......"

"It's just some money, and you're so reluctant? When you compete with others for the title of singer Miki, what about your arrogance of spending a lot of money? After glancing at his younger brother disapprovingly, Lu Jue slowly stood up, pushed open the window, looked into the distance, and wrote lightly, "The more popular people around the saint, at this time, the greater the possibility of getting involved in right and wrong." In order to ensure the stability of our Lu clan, we must not take the initiative to participate in it and consume our own vitality. If Xie Heng finds you, you will perfunctory in the past, remember, don't make it too obvious, and take the position of state pastor...... Very important. ”

Lu Xun nodded, thought of one more thing, and asked, "Third brother, then ...... you?"

"I originally planned to go out when I returned to Jiankang." Lu Jue pondered for a long time before shaking his head lightly, and said a little helplessly, "In this way, I'm afraid that I will have to shirk it again and again, and I will get the name of 'Coats'." As for you...... You still have two or three years to reach the crown, and if you don't do the same, it will be too deliberate. It's better to find an opportunity, turn to an idle martial arts, and live a mixed life step by step, even if you are ridiculed, it is better than being inexplicably involved in the whirlpool, and you don't know how to die. ”

"That sister-in-law...... She ......"

When Lu Jue heard this, he smiled slightly: "I don't go out, even if my wife is a princess, no one can help me, let alone the county lord?" My Lu family has a big business, even if she doesn't go out, she will be provided with fine clothes and food for a lifetime, and she will be worry-free. If she doesn't want to, go straight to the cliff...... Everyone has their own aspirations, who is to blame? ”

His smile is clear and gentle, and with his appearance, he is really like a Zhilan jade tree, which is enough to make any woman fascinated. But there was enough to make anyone who could understand what he meant shiver. (To be continued.) )
