Chapter 146: Help
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly solemn, and Lu Lingfeng was out of breath.
Lu Lingfeng lowered his head and muttered silently, and the lady on the couch reached out and touched Lu Lingfeng's forehead comfortingly, and glanced at her son fiercely, "What are you yelling at Tongfeng'er?" Not only is Feng'er curious, but I am also curious. β
has a grandmother who is brave, and Lu Lingfeng is much calmer.
Lu Jiang didn't say anything more, sat on the stool next to him and took the tea cup and slowly widened the tea, after a long time, Lu Jiang seemed to suppress his anger and regain his former elegance and calmness, "Ling Feng will accompany your mother more in the future, let your daughter-in-law settle down, she is not a princess yet, and it is too early to put the princess on the shelf." β
The eldest daughter of the crown prince, Ying, has always been pampered, Lu Lingfeng feels a headache every time he faces her, and the Ying family sometimes doesn't even give face to the county lord of Zhaohua, and he doesn't take the Lu family in his eyes.
She was begged to marry by the Lu family, and she was favored by the crown princess, so Lu Lingfeng didn't dare to restrain her too much.
Lu Lingfeng was embarrassed, "She doesn't necessarily listen to me." β
"It's useless for you to be disobedient!"
Lu Jiang squinted at his son, "She was the daughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before she left the cabinet, and she was your daughter-in-law when she married into the Lu family. Do you have to teach you these things myself? β
Mrs. Tai dragged Lu Lingfeng up, "This time your father is right, the county lord of Zhaohua is so arrogant outside, and he is gentle and gentle in front of your father, even if I say two words to her, she can only listen." Don't look at your daughter-in-law as the prince's beloved daughter, she is far worse than the original Zhaohua County Lord. β
The county lord of Zhaohua, who was favored by Emperor Shenwu, was the real proud daughter of the sky.
Lu Jiang's eyes flashed with a touch of deference, and he continued to reprimand Lu Lingfeng with his strict father's shelf, "If you can't manage her, please ask your mother to take care of her." β
Lu Lingfeng understood, "My son tries to accompany his mother as much as possible, but ...... The son can't always revolve around his mother, can't hold power and can't always hold his head up in front of the Ying family, accompany her back to the door, and the prince urges me to move forward between words. I didn't dare to compete with King Qi, but King Qi's words made my son embarrassed, and he was shorter than Lu Tianyang. β
"My son is unwilling!" Lu Lingfeng's face was slightly hideous and distorted, if he commanded the Wind Legion, King Qi would not dare to treat him as a junior anymore.
"Now is not the time."
"Dad, what's a good time? The son can't wait, can he let his son watch Lu Tianyang be proud? He abandoned martial arts and won the champion again, how can there be a place for his son in the imperial capital? Outsiders all say that he has the talent of the champion, and he used to despise his ministers and nobles who hated him, because he resisted His Majesty and led the crowd to kneel at the palace gate for the anti-poetry case...... They all saw him as a hero. β
Lu Lingfeng still couldn't completely hide the jealousy in his heart, "A court staff made him fight for a good reputation, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, he was hit by the court staff here, and the tombstone of the Kaishan King in the east was struck by lightning?" He has always had little respect for his grandmother, maybe it was his hands and feet. "Shut up!"
Lu Jiang is worried about this matter, once these are all arranged by Lu Tianyang, the power that Lu Tianyang has is too amazing.
"Put yourself in your place, he's him, you're you." Lu Jiang's face was solemn, "Tomorrow, the emperor will be guilty of his own edict and announce it to the world, and the edict to transfer Jiang Shoufu back to Beijing has already been issued, he not only dares to persuade the emperor, let Jiang Shoufu return to the court in advance." In the future, his career will be smoother, you don't understand this, I have taught you all these years in vain. β
Mrs. Tai's eyebrows rose, and the speed of twisting the Buddha beads became faster and faster, and when she saw her grandson drooping his head, she said loudly: "You don't have to say a few words, I don't think the wind is bad for him Lu Tianyang, but the opportunity is not as good as him, the ghost eyes are not as fast as him, and the skin is not as thick as him, like Lu Tianyang's opportunistic tricks will definitely not last." β
"Good grandson go back to rest first, with me and your father here, why don't you let Lu Tianyang step on your head."
"Hmm."
Lu Lingfeng saluted the two elders, pushed open the rosewood screen, and left quietly.
Seeing Lu Jiang thinking about his thoughts, Mrs. Tai paused for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Ling Feng has already left, you can tell who he is now, my heart trembled when I mentioned Lu Tianyang." β
"Is it possible that he's still alive, you say?"
ββ¦β¦β
The Buddha beads in Mrs. Tai's hand fell, her face showed a little panic, and she saw that Lu Jiang was not joking, so she held the corner of the tea table and said categorically: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how can he still be alive?" β
Lu Jiang looked dazed and lowered his head to pick up the Buddha beads, "If he comes back alive...... It's not necessarily a bad thing. β

The next day, Emperor Shenwu really announced the edict written by himself to the public, stating that he would not implicate more courtiers because of the anti-poetry case, but Emperor Shenwu's encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the restoration did not stop, but the dark clouds hanging over the courtiers gradually dispersed, at least they would not say goodbye to their relatives every day before going to court.
Mo Guanjie and a group of imprisoned ministers were finally proven to be wronged, and Emperor Shenwu appeased them with a reward and allowed them to recuperate before going to the Yamen.
Mo Guanjie got a lot of vacation because of this.
There are faint rumors in the imperial court that Mo Guanjie is likely to be released for two years after taking a vacation, and when he returns to Beijing, he will become a first-class member and the pillar of the country.
Lu Tianyang, who made a name for himself in the anti-poetry case, and Mu Yanyu, the prince of An Guo, who had long been famous in the capital, were both students of Mo Guanjie.
If the students are so good, will the teachers be bad?
Mo Guanjie is covered by his father-in-law, and the students of the dragon among the people are his arms, and he has once again become the most blessed person recognized by the government and the opposition.
This blessing was not what Mo Guanjie wanted, so he closed his door and used his vacation to concentrate on accompanying his wife who was about to give birth.
When he has free time, Mo Guanjie will personally guide Lu Tianyang and explain the skills of the imperial examination.
But more often, Ah Jiu always sees Mo Guanjie and Lu Tianyang drinking and talking happily.
First, Mo Guanjie didn't think that there was anything to teach Lu Tianyang besides exam skills, and second, although they had changed from confidants and good friends to masters and apprentices, Mo Guanjie had the same troubles as before, and he told Lu Tianyang about everything.
Lu Tianyang used the excuse of asking for advice, and he didn't bother with the little junior sister to create an opportunity to meet.
However, Ah Jiu spent more energy on the Jiang family, and didn't care much about Lu Tianyang's courtesy, but with Mo Guanjie's intentional or unintentional connivance, Lu Tianyang still had a lot of opportunities to get along with Ah Jiu.
Although Mo Guanjie is optimistic about Lu Tianyang, if Ah Jiu really doesn't like it, he won't force Ah Jiu.
Judging from the situation between the two, Ah Jiu did not have a good impression of Lu Tianyang, and Lu Tianyang was ...... to Ah Jiu Mo Guanjie saw it clearly, he liked it very much, as long as Ah Jiu appeared, Lu Tianyang's eyes were bright.
Lu Tianyang's tolerance of Ah Jiu, as well as his ideological resonance with Ah Jiu, made Jiang's resistance to this marriage a little less.
Approaching the bringing, Jiang's pregnancy reaction is stricter, she is considered an advanced maternal age, not only Ah Jiu is worried about Jiang, Mo Guanjie's eyebrows also contain sadness, his wife died of dystocia, more than ten years have passed, Mo Guanjie still remembers the bloody picture at that time.
Compared with the Zhou family, who gathers less and leaves more, Mo Guanjie obviously has a deeper affection for the Jiang family, who shares weal and pain, seeing that Jiang is losing weight day by day, he is becoming more and more restless, not for Lu Tianyang beside him to comfort him from time to time, Mo Guanjie Xu did not wait for Jiang to give birth, he himself fell ill in bed first.
The queen mother has not yet made a marriage will, but she has frequently summoned Mo Xinlan, and she is very caring and amiable with Mo Xinlan.
Mo Xinlan, who was left out in the cold, regained her former self-confidence because of the sudden attention of the queen, and no longer suffered from being calculated by her aunt and others, her words and deeds were generous, solemn and elegant, and she could also give the queen some small schemes, she got along better and better with the queen mother and the crown princess.
Even if Mo Xinlan became the most famous and most valued lady in the imperial capital, Mo Guanjie had no intention of taking her back to the Hou Mansion, she still lived in her maternal grandfather's Fuguo Mansion, but because Mo Junyong was there, she often went back to the Hou Mansion to take a turn.
Mo Guanjie and Ah Jiu tried their best to avoid Mo Xinlan seeing Jiang.
Ah Jiu rarely met with Mo Xinlan because he was in charge of general affairs, and even if he did, he couldn't say a few words, so he didn't give Mo Xinlan a chance to show off at all.
On this day, Mo Xinlan was summoned into the palace again, the queen received the harem concubine, she was placed in the side hall, the crown princess saw that she was slightly lost, bent her eyebrows and frowned slightly, and asked out loud: "Lord Mo is still angry with you?" β
King Huai is the prince's concubine, and the princess has a mediocre attitude towards King Huai, who has gone out, and Mo Xinlan and Yan Yuese are not because of King Huai.
Mo Guanjie's future is optimistic, because of the two prison trips, he has a good reputation in the Wenchen system, and more importantly, Yan Guogong wrote to complain that he was Mo Guanjie's brother who helped him that day, and Mo Guanjie should not occupy the position of hereditary marquis.
After handing over this excerpt, it turned into a stone and sank into the sea, and Emperor Shenwu and the eldest princess didn't see it.
Even the crown princess heard Emperor Shenwu and the former father-in-law Ma reveal that the eldest princess was very angry about this excerpt!
It can be seen that the eldest princess and Emperor Shenwu attach great importance to Mo Guanjie.
It's not that the princess's son is so old that he has already married, and he is too young to be of the right age, and it is not the turn of the prince, and it is also the prince's personal flesh and blood to go out to conceive the king, and he may be able to help the prince at a critical moment.
If the relationship between Mo Xinlan and Mo Guanjie is not harmonious, the help that King Huai got from marrying Mo Xinlan would be much worse.
Mo Xinlan was sad and a little worried, "My father has never blamed me, he has always been very good to me, but recently my mother is about to give birth, and my father's health is not very good, I am worried that if my mother has a bad one, my father will not be able to bear it." β
"You are worried about your stepmother, you are better than many people on this alone, some families, the original daughter and stepmother are like fighting cocks, I can't wait for you to die, in fact, both sides give a step, where can there be disputes?"
"My mother treats me very well." Mo Xinlan said frankly: "If she is safe, my father can feel at ease." β
The crown princess rolled her eyes, if the Jiang family was very good to Mo Xinlan, even if it was worse than her own Ah Jiu, it would be of great benefit to her side, and she might be able to climb Jiang Shoufu...... She listened to many days, Mo Junyong often visited Jiang Shoufu's door, and Jiang Shoufu treated him as a grandchild.
It can be seen that Jiang is really a generous and kind stepmother!
Just because she treats her kindly and bothers to raise her original son-in-law, even if the Jiang family is slightly negligent to Mo Xinlan and Mo Xinqing, she has won the respect of many people.
In the imperial capital, there are no stupid people in the Wenchen circle, most of them are well-informed, and it is clear whether the Jiang family is kind or deliberately invited to kill others.
The crown princess said: "Have you heard of the name of the virtuous and virtuous aunt? β
Mo Xinlan's eyes lit up, the virtuous Daogu was very famous in the imperial capital's noble circle, with high morality and superb spells, and ordinary people could not move her.
"The virtuous Taoist aunt is the best at doing things for women with bodies, but all the women who are blessed by her are mostly safe mothers and children. I remember that the last time a woman was in danger when she gave birth, it was only after the virtuous Taoist aunt went that she turned the corner. β
"I've heard about that, too."
Mo Xinlan nodded again and again, in her memory, the virtuous Daoist aunt is more capable and has a more prominent reputation, if she invites the virtuous Daoist aunt to the house, her father will also be impressed by herself.
The crown princess said: "I can hand you a post, the virtuous Taoist aunt is a master of the world, and she will sell me a little face." But...... It is more difficult to see a virtuous and virtuous aunt, but it shows more sincerity. β
"She's still on the mountain?"
"I shouldn't be going out lately." The crown princess patted Mo Xinlan's hand with satisfaction, "Filial piety touches the sky, and the world admires filial children the most." β
Mo Xinlan said goodbye to the crown princess and left the palace without seeing the queen.
The queen asked about her own crown princess to explain to her.

Lu Tianyang, as always, went to the Mo family every day to report, because he often came and went, he no longer needed a special simultaneous interpretation when he entered the Mo family.
He was very satisfied and gradually integrated into the Mo family, and was looking for a reason to meet Ah Jiu, seeing Ah Jiu sending Mrs. Zhuge and Miss Zhuge out, Lu Tianyang dodged to the side, and they didn't see it when they were worried.
"Sister Ah Jiu, don't worry too much."
Miss Zhuge shook Ah Jiu's hand, "There is always a way to solve it." β
"Mother Lao Bo ran by herself." Ah Jiu bowed his knees and thanked Mrs. Zhuge .
"If it weren't for the anti-poetry case, how could there be such a thing? Thanks to the fact that both of our families are still peaceful, they still have some scruples, but if they don't take this opportunity to peel off a layer of skin, where will they get the silver to honor their heads? Once the noise is boiling, it is not good for our lord and your father. Your mother's body is heavy, and the burden of a thousand catties is on your shoulders inside and out. β
Mrs. Zhuge was a little sorry and a little helpless: "I'll wait for your news, and if it drags on, both of us can't bear it." β
"Auntie walks slowly."
Ah Jiu sent Zhuge mother and daughter out of the house.
She stood alone in place and was stunned, compared to Fang Cai's faint sadness, Ah Jiuqiao's face was more annoyed at this moment, the spirit of contract, the Western Qin Empire did not have the spirit of contract...... But as long as there is a clear law, Ah Jiu can sue the group of people who broke the agreement to go bankrupt.
It's not that she can't solve it, but the detained goods can't afford to spend it.
"Ah Jiu."
ββ¦β¦ Senior Brother Lu. β
Ah Jiu was not surprised by Lu Tianyang's appearance, and said perfunctorily: "My father is in the study. β
Meaning to let Lu Tianyang go by himself, Ah Jiu turned around and raised his eyes, Lu Tianyang blocked in front of him again, moved a step to the side, and Lu Tianyang was still in the way.
"Senior Brother Lu is so excited today."
The girl hooked the corners of her mouth with a smile, her eyes were wrinkled, obviously with a bit of mockery, delicate but cute.
After Lu Tianyang abandoned Wu Congwen, he either wore Confucian shirts or Chinese clothes that matched the children of the family, and the heavy and exquisite Chinese clothes highlighted his more and more handsome and elegant.
He looked at Ah Jiu intently, and the fan in his hand closed and knocked on his palm, "Why are you angry?" β
Ah Jiuzheng was annoyed, and said casually: "A sum of money that was traded in partnership with Lord Zhuge was seized by the eunuchs of Suzhou and Hangzhou. β
"It's not just the two of you."
"Huh?"
"Silly Ah Jiu, you can let the eunuchs in the town, especially the eunuchs in Suzhou and Hangzhou, who are the first in the world, detain the goods, and there are a lot of heads for this goods. Although the eunuch loves silver and does not have a huge income, he will not offend your father and the official department. β
"I think someone instructed it, that money is too eye-catching, and my father and Lord Zhuge are quite hateful this time."
was also imprisoned for the anti-poetry case, and only a very small number of people survived until Emperor Shenwu issued an edict, even if there were people who barely saved their lives, most of them were disabled, how could there be disabled officials in the court?
Emperor Shenwu gave some compensation and ignored them.
These people didn't dare to be jealous of the domineering Shenwu Emperor, and they must be jealous of Mo Guanjie and the others who had received great benefits.
"Don't want to ask Shousuke-sama for help?"
"This little thing has to bother my grandfather, it seems that I am too useless, after all, it is the general affairs of the Mo family, my grandfather cares about the Mo family in everything, it is not good for my father, my father is not my grandfather's puppet."
"That's right." Lu Tianyang nodded pertinently, "The teacher's ideas and ambitions are different from those of Lord Shousuke. β
In fact, the eldest princess of the town can solve Ah Jiu's problem with a single sentence, since Ah Jiu dares to 'disown' the eldest princess, naturally she will not beg her for this matter.
The eldest princess used Yan Guogong as a target, Ah Jiu didn't agree with it very much, of course, she was not qualified to question the eldest princess, but Ah Jiu had the ability to alienate the eldest princess, and even ignore her!
Lu Tianyang saw Ah Jiu's thoughts clearly, and let go of hatred, which did not mean that he was willing to let Ah Jiu get close to the eldest princess, and asked, "What are you going to do?" β
"Now that the loss is doomed, it's better to get a good reputation. No matter what Lord Zhuge thinks, the Mo family will not bow to the eunuchs anyway. When my father re-entered the court, he banned the eunuchs with His Majesty. β
Ah Jiu's eyes were bright, he wanted to take advantage of her, he couldn't do anything with the eunuchs now, and he might not be able to take revenge for today in the future.
"Ban the eunuchs?"
Lu Tianyang gasped, this girl is bold, ruthless, dare to think and do, "You're not afraid of stabbing the hornet's nest?" Compared with courtiers, His Majesty XiΓ believes in domestic slaves more. "His Majesty's concept is wrong, whether it is a minister or a fake, he has a greedy heart, in comparison, the inspection and supervision of the minister is more sound, the eunuch is the emperor's minion, but the slave will be the master wholeheartedly?"
Ah Jiu's eyes dimmed a little, "Compared with people with seven emotions and six desires, I believe in the law more. β
"The law is also favoritic." Lu Tianyang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Ah Jiu really let him admire, and he felt very unrealistic about Ah Jiu's naΓ―ve thoughts.
"Autumn cicadas never know the beauty of winter."
Ah Jiu snorted coldly.
Does this mean that he is short-sighted?
Lu Tianyang was very helpless and grabbed Ah Jiu, who was about to leave, "I'll help you do this." β
ps Actually, Mo Xinlan has good intentions, but the result is always annoying, Lu Tianyang's energy will gradually show, and he hides everything deeply. R1152
