"Aiqing might as well explain the reason."

Lu Jingchuan put down the fold, squinted at Feng Chujiu, and smiled at the corners of his mouth, with a hint of unclear meaning.

"Minister..."

Feng Chujiu hesitated, she thought that Lu Jingchuan was just asking, but she didn't expect... And the reason?

I have several relationships with several highnesses, but I don't have a deeper contact and understanding, so I briefly recalled my impression of Lu Zhiqing, and said:

"Although the minister has little contact with His Royal Highness the Nine, the minister thinks... His Royal Highness the Ninth is a friendly person, and his words are not lost in his insight and talent.

Moreover, the minister has never heard of His Royal Highness Nine marrying a wife and concubine, obviously he is not in the mood to love, and His Royal Highness Nine is not here.

And recently, I have heard that His Royal Highness is making a private visit to Weifu... It seems that he is prepared for this, and if His Royal Highness Jiu is appointed as the crown prince, he should be able to better assist the emperor. ”

"Oh? It's a rare thing to hear so much from you. ”

Lu Jingchuan suddenly laughed, expressing surprise, and then sighed and said:

"My sons are very good, so I've been really worried lately.

I actually think Zhiqing is good in my heart, but I sent someone to investigate secretly, but it was a little unsatisfactory. ”

“…”

Feng Chujiu lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, waiting for Lu Jingchuan to continue.

"Aiqing might as well take a look at this excerpt."

Lu Jingchuan picked up the book he had just flipped through and motioned for Feng Chujiu to read it.

Feng Chujiu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to get up and take it with both hands, obviously not quite understanding what the intention of letting her see the excerpt was.

But I still opened it and looked at it carefully, this should be written by His Royal Highness the Nine, and there is a name on it.

Feng Chujiu looked at it carefully, and what he said was nothing more than that a few days ago he dealt with a "local snake" who did a lot of evil in a place called Huocheng, and he also received nearly half of the money from the local snake.

And the local government not only did not stop it, but also took money and turned a blind eye, aided in the abuse, and by the way, asked for orders to replace the prefect of the noisy city.

This... Feng Chujiu looked at it, didn't see it very clearly, his eyes paused, closed the fold, and presented it to the emperor, then he bent down and said:

"The minister is stupid... I feel that His Royal Highness the Ninth has spoken appropriately, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it..."

"But I sent someone to investigate, and I found out that Zhiqing... He has never been out of the Imperial City recently, so how did he deal with it? Apparently someone was helping him. ”

Lu Jingchuan's face was not very good, and he pondered for a while and said:

"I'm thinking that a person who can deal with a snake on the ground without permission must not be in a bad position, so that they will be afraid...

So who's helping? And Zhiqing is all due to his own credit, I can't help but be... I don't think he's a little in a hurry. ”

"It's... Why didn't the emperor ask His Royal Highness the Ninth in person? ”

Feng Chujiu didn't know how to answer, after all, if it was her thinking, it would be better to ask directly if she had any doubts...

"Aiqing, if it's so simple to ask, if everyone is telling the truth, then why should I be sad about it?"

After listening to her words, the emperor seemed to be in a better mood, after all, Feng Chujiu didn't spend much time in the court, so he shouldn't form a gang, and even looking at her was a lot more pleasing to the eye:

"I want to... Even if the money collected does not have to be handed over to the treasury, the amount is not small, is it possible that the secretary will be included in his own treasury? Grow yourself? ”

“…”

Hearing this, Feng Chujiu suddenly fell silent, because she seemed to react... At the beginning, when he met King Anding in Cloud City, what did he say?

It seems to be saying... I dealt with a man with unclean hands and feet, confiscated his money, and because I didn't have to hand it over to the treasury, I used it for myself to buy military rations ...

Near Cloud City, there seems to be a noisy city, and King Anding supports His Royal Highness the Nine... So, so this thing was actually instructed by the King of Anding to be done by His Highness the Nine...

Feng Chujiu thought about it and understood, it turned out that what was said in the fold was the same thing as King Anding...

So he raised his head to Lu Jingchuan's inquiring eyes, and said respectfully:

"Minister... After thinking about it, the minister probably knows where the money is used..."

"Oh?"

Lu Jingchuan obviously didn't expect that Feng Chu Jiu was also involved in this? It's kind of interesting...

Lu Jingchuan nodded at Feng Chu Jiu with interest and said:

"Aiqing said let's hear it."

"This money... In the hands of the ministers. ”

Feng Chujiu said this sentence with some caution, glanced at Lu Jingchuan, and sure enough, Lu Jingchuan's face sank, and Feng Chujiu hurriedly explained:

"But this silver... It was not given by His Royal Highness the Nine, but by King An..."

"Zhi'an?"

When Lu Jingchuan heard his fifth son, his brows furrowed and loosened:

"How can there be such a thing?"

Feng Chujiu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and reported truthfully:

"When the minister returned to Beijing this time, he passed through a city called Cloud City, and he happened to meet Prince An...

The minister also remembered that the things that His Royal Highness Nine in the song fold had said to the minister when he was in Cloud City...

An Wang Ye said that the person who handled it this time did not have to hand over his money after receiving it... to the treasury, so he specially inquired about the minister's itinerary, stopped him in Yuncheng, and handed over the silver to the minister's hands... Meaning... For the purchase of grain and grass... ”

After saying this, he sounded calm and calm, but in fact, a thin layer of cold sweat had already appeared on Feng Chujiu's back, and his breathing was a little shorter, and he was a little nervous.

"The silver was given to you by Zhi'an? So this was done by Zhi'an?! ”

Lu Jingchuan seems to feel incomprehensible:

"No wonder... I haven't heard from him in the palace recently, so he ran out..."

"So... The minister felt that King An had already sealed the prince, that is, he had no idea about the position of the crown prince, and this time he specially asked His Royal Highness Jiu to tell the emperor, obviously wanting the emperor to remember the benefits of His Royal Highness Jiu...

However, the emperor obviously had a lot of doubts, but he was a little suspicious of His Royal Highness the Nine. ”

"Aiqing, what do you mean... Prince An is actually supporting His Royal Highness the Nine? ”

Lu Jingchuan understood in a few words, he had heard it before, and his fifth son had a very good personal relationship with his ninth son... I didn't expect to be able to go on a private visit for him.

"Minister... The ministers are brave and think that King An is willing to support His Royal Highness the Nine..."

Feng Chujiu naturally didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to take Lu Jingchuan's words too much, after all, everyone in the royal family was uncertain... If you say something wrong, you won't get more than you lose...

“…”

Lu Jingchuan rubbed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and said to Feng Chujiu: "Get up." ”

Feng Chujiu slowly stood up, but he just stood in place waiting for him to continue to say something...

There should be no problem with the matter of silver, there is nothing to explain about grain and grass, and Lu Jingchuan should also understand it in his heart.

The point is that this King An helps His Royal Highness Jiu, Feng Chujiu naturally knows that Lu Jingchuan's favorite son is Prince An, so now his favorite son also supports His Royal Highness Jiu, so I am afraid that this pole in his heart will also be biased towards His Royal Highness Jiu...

"This kid... Is there anything you can't just tell me about? I have to be so sneaky..."

Lu Jingchuan sighed, his tone was full of helplessness:

"I was obviously almost wrong..."

“…”

Feng Chujiu knew that she was not qualified to accept this, after all, if she did, she would be speculating on what they meant...

"Are you afraid of me... Do you think he still has thoughts about the position of the crown prince? So hide it from me? ”

Lu Jingchuan didn't intend to let Feng Chujiu go, and asked, this was obviously said to her, Feng Chujiu had to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"The minister thinks... Prince An should be afraid in his heart, afraid that the emperor will be worried. ”

"Ugh..."

Lu Jingchuan listened to her obvious answer, didn't say anything, and waved his hand:

"If it's okay... Aiqing, go back. ”

Listening to his eviction order, Feng Chujiu's heart fell, it was true that he was like a tiger, he only stayed for a few moments, and he felt so difficult, and now he can't help but admire his father-in-law, who can serve the emperor for decades...

"Minister... Retirement. ”

Feng Chujiu didn't hesitate, saluted again, and withdrew.

opened the door of the main hall and walked out slowly, Gonggong Lin was waiting outside, and when he saw her come out, he hurriedly greeted her:

"General Wind... The emperor has finished explaining? ”

"Father-in-law."

Feng Chujiu first clasped his fists and saluted, and then replied:

"The emperor has finished explaining, and the last general will leave first."

"Li'er."

Father-in-law Lin smiled at her, turned around and summoned a little eunuch, and commanded:

"Send the general out of the palace."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch who called Li'er respectfully saluted Feng Chu Jiu and took her out of the palace.

Father-in-law Lin pondered for a moment, and ordered a few palace people to go to the imperial dining room to prepare a clear porridge, and send it in a while, and then he also pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in.

"Your Majesty..."

Father-in-law Lin walked up to Lu Jingchuan, saluted, and moved to stand beside him.

"Linfu, I'm starting to hesitate now..."

When Lu Jingchuan heard him speak, he was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but when he opened his eyes again, he seemed to be very sad.

Father-in-law Lin bent down slightly:

"The emperor still has to pay more attention to the dragon body."

"I just found out... Zhi'an actually secretly helped his ninth brother. ”

Lu Jingchuan was even more worried, he couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up, and his father-in-law hurriedly followed him.

"Lord An... Does it mean to support His Highness the Nine? ”

Father-in-law Lin knew the weight of Lu Zhi'an in the emperor's heart, and he was also a little surprised.

I thought that Prince An said that he had no intention of ruling the government, so he really no longer had any connection with these things, but I didn't expect it...

"Exactly... Zhiqing's excerpt, what was written, was done by Zhi'an, and it must have been this kid who instigated his ninth brother to write it. ”

Lu Jingchuan paced back and forth in the main hall, stopping and stopping, suddenly remembered something, and said to Father-in-law Lin with a frown:

"I originally had the intention of making Zhi Yun the crown prince, but now that I know that Zhi Anxin is still paying attention to these things, I can't help but want to follow his wishes."

“…”

Father-in-law Lin is naturally not good at swaying his thoughts, at this time, it can only depend on what the emperor thinks, after all, this is related to the prince in the future...

However, the emperor originally considered going back and forth among several highnesses, but recently he was a little biased towards the three highnesses.

But now that he knows that Prince An is supporting His Royal Highness the Nine, I am afraid that the emperor's heart will also begin to waver...

Father-in-law Lin shook his head, and he was a little helpless...
