Chapter 162: Branches
The next day, Lu Qiping went to the morning court very early, and after Lu Chensheng got up, he washed up and went directly to his biological mother's tomb to make incense.
Qiong Yue also went to incense with her, and the worship lasted until the evening, and the two returned to the Lu Mansion.
Lu Chensheng had just returned to the courtyard when he heard the subordinate on the side hurriedly walk to Lu Chensheng's side, and then whispered.
"Little master, the master wants you to go to the study."
Lu Chensheng frowned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he still walked towards the study with his subordinates.
"You're back!"
In the study, Lu Qiping was busy with something, and when he saw Lu Chensheng coming, his somewhat old face immediately showed a touch of joy, and he hurriedly beckoned Lu Chensheng to come to him.
Lu Chensheng walked in, his eyes swept around, and he saw that there were books all around, neatly and neatly.
There was incense on the side, and there was a faint fragrance in the study.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Lu Chensheng was too lazy to be polite to the other party, and just asked.
Lu Qiping didn't mind when he heard this, this youngest grandson was still quite hostile to him, and it was naturally not good to ask Lu Chensheng at this moment to be so kind to him.
But after a long time, some feelings will always be cultivated.
"You have just come to Kyoto, there are some things to explain to you, the old man in the court is neutral, there are not many people who follow the old man, most of the ministers have been dug up, either with the crown prince or with the second prince.
Now, Weizhen and the others are no longer there, and I am afraid that these two highnesses will be worried about you when you first enter Kyoto, and invite you to join their camp. ”
Lu Chensheng's face moved slightly when he heard this.
"Why do you want to be neutral, doesn't this directly offend both sides?"
Lu Qiping smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The three ministers in the center of the imperial court, the two ministers all have camps, and it doesn't matter if they arrive, but if the old man also chooses the camp, no matter which side it is, it will only make one of the camps directly expand and overwhelm the other."
The reason why the emperor let the old man's son, Lu Weizhen, guard the border and control the army, is because the old man is neutral and only loyal to the emperor, if the old man loses the crown prince or the second prince, it will make the emperor angry.
The emperor is still in power, and his ministers are already thinking about choosing the future emperor. ”
Lu Qiping shook his head when he said this, he would never do something like this.
"What's more, there is actually nothing wrong with maintaining neutrality, if one of them fails, the new emperor will settle the account after the fall on the throne."
"But if the choice is successful, there will be a dragon skill at that time, although you will not be settled by the autumn queen, but it will inevitably be far away from the center in the future."
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he responded directly, this is the golden mean.
Lu Qiping smiled, "What's the matter?" The old man is already a Chinese book order, and he has come to an end, and the old man is also old, and there is a title to ensure the continuation of the family, which is actually enough. ”
"I don't want your title."
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he immediately replied, he didn't think about staying here for a long time, he just wanted to stay for a while, see if he could easily solve the matter of the Tartars entering the customs, and then leave.
Lu Qiping didn't speak when he heard this, and Lu Chensheng was a little resistant to him at this time.
I don't want the title he left behind, that's a normal thing, and you have to take your time and not rush it.
"So you're here to talk about this?"
"Now there is only one young man left in the Lu Mansion, and sooner or later it will be handed over to you, and the two princes are afraid that they will come to woo you."
When Lu Qiping heard this, his face became slightly serious.
Now Lu Chensheng's identity is different, Lu Chensheng can get closer to any prince, it will represent the will of the Lu Mansion.
Unlike before, there were so many heirs in the Lu Mansion.
And in this way, I am afraid that the two princes who have already gotten the news will try their best to contact Lu Chensheng so that they can draw Lu Chensheng into their camp.
As long as Lu Chensheng is wooed, Lu Qiping will have absolutely no reason to stand up.
"Then what if I take refuge in one of the princes?"
Lu Chensheng looked at Lu Qiping in front of him and asked.
Lu Qiping was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile, "Then it doesn't hurt to take refuge in the past, the old man will help him to take the position, so that you can get a dragon skill, but this shouldn't be your style." ”
He only heard that Lu Chensheng didn't want to go out, and even refused the holy decree, and now if he wants to help the prince compete for the throne, there is something wrong with how he thinks about it.
Lu Chensheng didn't answer when he heard this, he really didn't think about which prince he was going to.
"Didn't you hear that there is another third prince?"
"The third prince doesn't have to care, he doesn't have the qualifications to win the emperor, and he has already opened the palace in the early years, the three princes are only interested in playing, but this cost is extremely powerful, and from time to time they will enter the palace to ask the emperor for money, which makes the emperor frequently angry."
Lu Qiping was a little helpless when he said this.
The treasury is not very full, and the three princes have little money in their hands, so where can they withstand his expenses.
So much so that when the third prince entered the palace to ask for money, he was often scolded for being bloody.
Lu Chensheng listened and nodded, understanding some of the situation in the imperial court.
"By the way, are there many people in the court who know my identity?"
Lu Chensheng asked suddenly.
Lu Qiping immediately shook his head when he heard this, "I don't know much, but the emperor should know about it now." ”
There are few things in the imperial capital that can be hidden from the emperor.
Lu Qiping knew this, but he had done things very carefully before, and the rest of the ministers only knew that he Lu Qiping's previous son was living outside, and as for who it was, it should be unknown.
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he was instantly satisfied.
When something is done, he can quietly get out of here.
"Do you think that the person who made a move against the Lu family would be the hands of these two princes?"
Lu Qiping's face was shocked when he heard this, but he did not scold Lu Chensheng.
After half a ring, he shook his head, "This matter has not yet been clarified, so don't talk nonsense." ”
Didn't find out? That means that Lu Qiping already has this suspicion in his heart.
Lu Chensheng knew what he was saying and secretly wrote down the matter.
"Although you have taken a wife now, but now you have not yet completed a house, and the daughters of many ministers in the DPRK and China have the style of ladies and are extremely beautiful, so it is better to find a few family affairs for you, what do you think?"
Lu Qiping glanced at Lu Chensheng, hesitated and asked.
