Palace West.

Yikun Palace, Golden Jubilee Pavilion.

"Xue Zhaodi raises those silkworms, how many silks can he offer? It's just for show. It's hard for her, as the master of the harem, she still has to dress up before and after. ”

Xu Guifei said lightly.

She was three years old in her Chinese New Year's Eve, looking like a beauty in her early twenties, sitting opposite her fourteen-year-old son at this time, not like mother and son, but like a brother and sister.

Although he has retreated to the left and right, and there is no need to worry about the partition wall in the empty hall, the fourth prince Zhou Yan is still sitting in danger.

"Even though it's nowhere to go, it's better for my mother to call her queen." Zhou Yan reminded softly.

Xu Guifei smiled.

She looked at Zhou Yan and saw that her son's immature face showed an old age that did not match his age.

"My son is still too respectful." Xu Guifei said, "If Xue Zhaodi's son had half of your courtesy, he would not be imprisoned in the East Palace, she has been pretending to be and serving Nongsang all these years, not for that son?" ”

I have already persuaded her, but my mother still goes her own way, and she still uses words like 'Xue Zhaodi' and 'that son'. Zhou Yan was a little helpless.

"Although the prince's brother has done something wrong, he has already repented of it." Zhou Yan said.

Xu Guifei glanced at Zhou Yan and sighed a little in her heart.

Being taught by those old pedants, his own son has become more and more hypocritical.

This is, of course, something to be happy about.

But he is no longer the little boy who can hold him and complain about his grievances when he was a child, he will grow up to be a prince after all.

Concubine Xu shook her head and said with a smile: "Prince? If it weren't for those civil officials, your father would have deposed him 800 times. Except for a few years earlier, how can he have any merit in his body? ”

Zhou Yan was silent.

"Doing something wrong?" Xu Guifei said again: "How can you say this?" At that time, Zhao Yuanwei's resignation letter aroused the voice of abolishing the reserve, which led to turmoil in the country. Your father, Emperor I, was diligent, that is, he was sick in bed for a few days, and he happened to miss Li Jianru's urgent report. ”

As she spoke, she became more and more excited.

"Delayed the military plane, causing Jiannu to enter the Kou and besiege Gyeonggi! DID YOU KNOW? At that time, Qin Liangyu had surrounded Zhang Xianzhong, and Wang Qiaonian was pursuing Tang Zhongyuan, but at this time, the world's soldiers and horses were edicted to enter the king of Jingqin, and the thieves became more and more powerful, and they plundered the world. All of this is because of this prince. This Great Chu's society was destroyed because of him. Your father's edict four years ago is also carrying the consequences for him......"

Xu Guifei said, looking at Zhou Yan.

She stopped talking and put on a solemn look, before she said the most important sentence: "Your father, the emperor, has long had the heart of Yi Chu. ”

Zhou Yan pursed his lips, and there was a faint apprehension on his face.

They both know in their hearts that this Da Chu's society is by no means only bad for one prince.

But this statement is very beneficial to his father, mother, himself, and the family of three, and Zhou Yan will naturally not refute it......

"Today, the queen and Qian Shilang cooperated, does my mother know why?" Zhou Yan threw out the puzzle in his heart.

"What did your husband say?"

"The gentleman asked the child to think for himself, but the child couldn't."

Xu Guifei said: "Qian Chengyun is a powerful character, he reported Wang Xiao's crime today, just like the prince did back then, bullying the minister's daughter, and touching your father's mold." If this incriminating evidence is confirmed, this person will be considered finished. Then, when it comes to Lu Zhengchu, your father has already believed in three points. ”

Thinking that a person with a bad character like Wang Xiao was about to become his brother-in-law, Zhou Yan was in a complicated mood for a while.

After a while, he asked, "But, why did the queen deal with Lu Cifu?" ”

Xu Guifei sneered and said, "Sometimes the superficial allies are not real allies. Everyone thought that Lu Zhengchu, the crown prince and young protector, taught the prince to read, and that was the party of the East Palace. But only Xue Zhaodi's mother and son understood in their hearts that Lu Zhengchu was a person in his heart...... Don't look down on the prince. ”

Zhou Yan realized, and asked, "Then should we protect Lu Cifu?" ”

"Yan'er thinks she can keep it?"

Zhou Yan shook his head: "The child is just an uncrowned prince, so naturally he can't keep it." ”

Xu Guifei looked at him with a regretful expression, smiled faintly, and said, "You have to learn to accept this helplessness." You must know that even your father, the emperor, is the son of heaven, and he is dealing with these helplessness every day. ”

Zhou Yan asked, "Then we don't do anything?" ”

Xu Guifei said: "Even if you protect Lu Zhengchu, he will not support you." He's too old to survive your father's dynasty, understand? Xue Zhaodi understood this, so she gave up Lu Zhengchu to exchange money for transportation. ”

"Understood."

"Of course we can't do nothing, Chunning is here to help you now." Xu Guifei said: "I say this, do you understand who is the most important person in this game?" ”

Thinking of the girl that his sister was entertaining in the palace, Zhou Yan understood: "Liaodong Qin's general soldiers." ”

"Not bad. Now in this situation, a hundred civil officials are not as good as one Qin Chengye. Xue Zhaodi's mother and son can't see this truth clearly, and they are doomed to failure. ”

Zhou Yan said: "However, Zuo Ge Lao and General Qin are not in harmony......

"Lian Po and Lin Xiangru also had a discord," Xu Guifei touched his head and said, "You must know that above this court, it is difficult to argue with the enemy and me." There are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies. ”

Zhou Yan resisted this action of touching his head a little, but Xu Guifei stretched out his hand, and he couldn't hide, so he looked a little helpless.

Xu Guifei took in his expression and sighed: "You remember, except for your mother and your sister, no one else in the world can be trusted." ”

Zhou Yan asked, "What about Mr.?" ”

"Behind your husband is Zuo Jinglun, and being an official to Zuo Jinglun's position does not represent a person's interests......

-------------------------------------

On the top of the main hall, Zuo Jinglun glanced at Lu Zhengchu sideways, and his mood was really complicated.

After fighting for most of his life, Lu Kunshan is finally coming to an end today.

You claim to be Donglin Zhengsu, but you form a party for personal gain, allowing evil tigers like Qin Chengye to entrench in Liaodong, and letting moths like Bai Yizhang eat the treasury...... The government is not rigid, only knows the trade-offs.

Let a sluggish minister like you rule the world, how can you save this precarious country?

But I didn't expect that in the end, it was the shameless layout of Qian Carrier that dragged you down.

Zuo Jinglun looked at the front and touched Zheng Yuanhua quietly, and he also knew in his heart that the situation had developed to this situation, and it would never be possible without the approval of Zheng Yuanhua, the first assistant.

At this time, the net against the Kun Party has been spread, and the Dali Temple controlled by Zheng Yuanhua and the Criminal Department controlled by Qian Chengyun have all taken action, and the three divisions and yamen are only left to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The old man, let's give a push......

So, Zuo Jinglun nodded to Bian Xiuyong.

For a time, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up one after another.

"The minister impeached Lu Zhengchu for forming a party for private and corrupt ......"

"The minister heard that Lu Zhengchu had private dealings with Qin Chengye and embezzled Liao's salary......"

"Impeachment ......"

In the midst of the scolding, Lu Zhengchu's old body knelt down tremblingly.

Zuo Jinglun was stunned for a moment, looked over, but saw that Lu Zhengchu actually picked up his official hat solemnly and slowly with both hands and gently placed it on the ground.

Under the official hat, the gray hair was revealed, Lu Zhengchu kowtowed on the ground, glanced at Emperor Yanguang with old eyes, and said with a sigh: "Minister, beggar bones." ”

His Highness was silent.

Wen Rongxin glanced at Zheng Yuanhua, who seemed to be asleep, and lowered his head.

Zuo Jinglun and Bian Xiuyong were both a little dazed.

And that's it?

The old thing retreated without resistance?

Qian Chengyun pursed his lips, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly welled up in his heart.

It's done! There was a vacant position in the cabinet, and he himself would be added to the cabinet with the title of secretary of the criminal department.

As for Lu Zhengchu? For such an official, unless he angers the Son of Heaven, he will naturally not be easily condemned, otherwise he is not saying that His Majesty's governance over the years has been wrong.

The bones of the beggars have fallen, and they are people who have gone away. For yourself, it's the biggest win!

The rest of the people, those who have just been checked, and those who have just been exiled.

Qian Chengyun raised his head, stared at Wang Xiao fiercely, and flashed back to that night in his heart, the young man wearing the mask of Tang Seng cut Qian Cheng to the ground for two years, one knife, two knives.

Go to hell! Little brute.

Cheng'er, I avenged your father for you......
