Inside and outside the imperial city, things were happening that Zhao Xu didn't understand.

Zhao Xu finished eating in the Kangning Palace, and chatted with Concubine Zhu for a while before returning to the Funing Palace.

Along the way, the palace is full of red lanterns, festive shrouded in the palace, and people come and go endlessly, from time to time to say 'congratulations to the official family'.

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded, and occasionally asked, easy-going and kind.

Back in Funing Palace, Zhao Xu washed up and went to bed, after all, he still had to feast on Lu Dafang tomorrow.

This is not Han Zhongyan, not only can he not be provoked, but he is also an old man, and he has to be very energetic.

Zhao Xu was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, still thinking about countermeasures.

The next morning, Zhao Xu read in the study, and waited until it was close to noon, then he called Chen Pi and said, "You go and inform." ”

Chen Pi was still a little worried, but he didn't say much.

He sent someone to the imperial dining room to inform him of the menu that had been set yesterday, and then went to the government hall himself.

When the people in the political hall saw Chen Pi coming, many people were a little shocked. After all, the last time he came, he sent away a privy envoy.

Qin Bing quickly came out of it, raised his hand with a smile on his face, and said, "Grandpa Chen is here, I don't know what is important?" ”

Chen Pi looked at Qin Bing's false smile and said lightly: "I came to summon Lu Xianggong by order." ”

Qin Bing's eyes changed immediately, and his breath stopped, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

There were sounds all around, as if they had been bumped, fallen, and broken.

Many people poked their heads out and looked at the tangerine peel, their faces turned pale and their hearts were frightened.

The official family announced the call of the ruler? What is this for? Is the official going to take action against Zaizhi?

Qin Bing wrinkled his brows, panicked and a little angry in his heart, stared at Chen Pi and said almost unceremoniously: "What is the official family doing when he summons Zaizhi?" ”

Chen Pi saw Qin Bing's anger as if he was about to punch him, and he was a little apprehensive, but he still said, "I want to see Lu Xianggong." ”

Qin Bing snorted coldly and said, "How can you say that you will see ......?"

"I'm here."

Before he could finish speaking, a hoarse, calm, peaceful old voice sounded behind him.

Qin Bing turned his head violently, walked over quickly, and said angrily and vigilantly: "Xianggong, this ......"

Lu Dafang couldn't see any expression on his face, he looked directly at Chen Pi and said, "What did the official family call me for?" ”

Chen Pi didn't dare to put his qualifications in front of Lu Dafang, took a step forward, and said a little respectfully: "Lu Xianggong, the official family invites you to go to the Vertical Gong Hall to accompany him to dinner." ”

Qin Bing was even more shocked, and said eagerly: "Xianggong, you can't go!" ”

Han Zhongyan's experience is not far away, how can Zai Zhi go? If there is another 'incontinence', Han Zhongyan can still resign, and Zai Zhi is afraid that he can only be killed on the spot.

Lu Dafang was silent for a while, and said, "Now? ”

Chen Pi said: "Yes, lunch." ”

Lu Dafang looked at the sky and said, "Let's go." ”

Qin Bing was in a hurry and said, "Xianggong, you can't go!" ”

With Zhao Xu sending Han Zhongyan away with 'incontinence', in the eyes of the people in the political affairs hall, he is already a flood beast, how dare he easily contact it?

Lu Dafang didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the political affairs hall and walked towards the vertical arch hall not far to the north.

Qin Bing watched Lu Dafang go like this, his heart was worried, and his expression was extremely panicked.

Thinking about it, Qin Bing grabbed a person and said in a low voice: "Go to Cining Hall and inform the Empress Dowager." Also, please enter the palace immediately! ”

Someone immediately responded and left quickly.

Qin Bing thought about it again and again, quickly caught up with Lu Dafang, and said, "Zai Fu, I'll accompany you." ”

Lu Dafang didn't seem to hear it, and walked slowly towards the vertical arch hall not far away.

The news that Lu Dafang was invited by Zhao Xu to have lunch together was like growing wings and flying inside and outside the palace.

Cining Temple.

Zhou He hurriedly ran into the side hall where Empress Dowager Gao worked, and said urgently: "Niangniang, it's not good, the official family invited Lu Xianggong to dine together in the vertical arch hall." ”

Empress Dowager Gao was bowing her head to review the recital, and when she heard it, she raised her head violently and shouted, "What did you say?" ”

Zhou He said anxiously: "Right now, Lu Xianggong is afraid that he has already arrived at the Vertical Arch Palace." ”

Empress Dowager Gao put down the pen with a snap, and her face sank like water.

Zhou He knew that the stakes were high, lowered his head, held his breath quickly, and didn't dare to say more.

If the official family really treats Lu Xianggong like Han Xianggong, then the government and the opposition are afraid that it will explode, and it will be a great disaster!

Empress Dowager Gao's face was like ice, her eyes flashed with coldness, and something appeared in her heart that she had never thought about before and didn't want to think about.

Just for a moment, Empress Dowager Gao said in a cold voice: "Don't move, wait!" ”

Zhou He has followed Empress Dowager Gao for more than ten years, knows her very well, listens to her words, looks at her expression, his eyes are wide open, and his heart falls into an ice cave.

Is it really going to get to that point?

……

At the same time, Su Song, who temporarily acted as the privy envoy, and Su Zhe, the third envoy, rushed into the palace from outside the palace like a burning eyebrow.

Su Song is over seventy years old, and he is in a hurry at the moment, wiping the sweat on his head from time to time, not knowing whether he is tired or afraid.

Su Zhe frowned tightly, and he was also out of breath, as if he was in a hurry.

They all know Lu Dafang's status in the court, and if something happens to him, especially if he is forced to come by the officials, the movement will definitely be earth-shattering!

Not only them, but the heads and brains of the three provinces and six departments were all terrified at the moment, as if they felt that something extremely terrifying was about to happen, and they all had no intention of doing anything, so they couldn't help but come out, standing at the door, looking at the palace, and the direction of the vertical arch hall.

His expression was uneasy and full of fear.

Both inside and outside the palace were alarmed, but only the parties didn't seem to be aware.

Lu Dafang was old, his steps were very slow, and he walked to the vertical arch hall step by step, and came to the door of the side hall, waiting.

His face was full of age spots, his eyes were swollen, and even if he opened his eyes, there was only a slit, and it was difficult for outsiders to see his expression and eyes.

Qin Bing stood not far behind him, and he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't hide the worry on his face.

At this moment, Zhao Xu had already entered through the side door of the Vertical Arch Hall, standing in the middle, looking outside.

Not far away, not close, he happened to be able to see Lu Dafang. An old man who is calm and quiet, but gives people the pressure of a mountain.

Lu Dafang lowered his head, not knowing if he saw Zhao Xu inside, and he didn't move.

Zhao Xu looked up at the surroundings of this side hall, this side hall is not big, there is a long table in the middle, and there are several tables and chairs not far from the right side.

The Vertical Arch Hall was the emperor's daily office, but because Zhao Xu was not in power, it was basically always empty.

"I have to come here often......" Zhao Xu whispered to himself.

Chen Pi stood beside him, and seemed to feel the oppressive atmosphere, bowing his head and saying nothing.

The noon bell rang in the palace, and Zhao Xu sighed and said, "Chen Pi, pass the meal, please come in." ”

"Yes."

Chen Pi glanced at Zhao Xu, responded softly, and turned to ask Lu Dafang.

Chen Pi didn't know what Zhao Xu was going to do, so he went out, looked at Lu Dafang who was standing still, and said with a smile: "Lu Xianggong, when the time comes, the official family invites you in." ”

Lu Dafang hummed and walked forward.

Qin Bing watched Lu Dafang about to cross the threshold and enter, and hurriedly said, "Xia Guan is also accompanying Xianggong." ”

Without waiting for Chen Pi to stop him, Qin Bing stepped forward, grabbed one of Lu Dafang's hands, and accompanied him into the side hall.

He must follow up, if the official family really persecutes Zaizhi, Qin Bing already plans to save him with death.

It's not that you want to be disrespectful to Zhao Xu, but you can't let Lu Dafang have an accident, otherwise there will be a big disaster!
