Lu Pheasant's room is quiet, spotlessly cleaned, and every utensils are placed in a very regular manner, like a woman's boudoir, more like an uninhabited room.

Yan Xiaoxiao has been here more than once, and Lu Pheasant's character and wisdom can be seen from the placement in the room, so Yan Xiaoxiao never dared to underestimate her.

Lu Pheasant made the tea himself, then pushed the tea cup to Yan Xiaoxiao, and asked, "My sister is looking for me late at night, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Highness went out for a luncheon, hasn't you returned to the palace yet?" Yan Xiaoxiao nodded in thanks, and then asked.

Lu Pheasant said with a smile: "My sister is on duty in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she is so concerned about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that the rumors are true." It's just that the rules in the palace are strict, and my sister and I are both female officials, so we should understand the rules, ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

"Thank you sister for reminding me." Yan Xiaopin took a sip of tea, not afraid of Lu Pheasant's threat at all, she Yan Xiaoxiao didn't enter the palace in a day or two, stayed in the palace for three years, he grew up from the deception, although she is still a small female official, but it is not a noble concubine who can be easily pinched to death. Conversely, can the concubines withstand her insane revenge?

The little people have their own means of the little people.

"What my sister said just now is very right, we are all female officials, so we should do our part, but some words are easy to say, but it is very difficult to do it yourself, isn't it? It's like my sister. My sister has martial arts and is a person with high skills, but she hides it very well, and she never reveals it in the palace, such as sneaking out of the palace tonight, she is really bold! Yan Xiaoxiao said with emotion.

Lu Pheasant's movements froze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. She knew that Yan Xiaoxiao had let the maids and eunuchs in the East Palace secretly spy on her, so Lu Pheasant had raised her vigilance, and she was also very cautious when she left the palace tonight, how could Yan Xiaoxiao know?

And when Lu Pheasant saw Yan Xiaoxiao's gaze examining herself, she suddenly understood that Yan Xiaoxiao hadn't seen her leave the palace with her own eyes at all, and what she said just now was just a guess, a temptation!

Sure enough, Yan Xiaoxiao verified the conjecture in her heart, and continued: "My sister is anxious to leave the palace, it seems that there is an urgent matter outside the palace, but as far as I know, my sister only has one sister to live in the Yasukuni Mansion, and the Guogong Mansion is heavily guarded, so it should be fine, so my sister secretly went out of the palace, could it be that there are other major things?" I don't know if I can say it, sister, I really want to help. ”

Lu Pheasant knew that Yan Xiaoxiao was clever, but she didn't expect to be so powerful that she could guess that she had sneaked out of the palace, it seemed that she must know something, otherwise she would not doubt herself.

"A little trivial matter before entering the palace has been dealt with, don't worry about my sister." Lu Pheasant replied: "If my sister wants to report the report, she won't come to me, what does my sister want to say, please explain!" ”

Yan Xiaoxiao naturally will not report and denounce, although she does not have to do this kind of thing personally, but there is no evidence that no one has stolen goods, even if she denounces Lu Pheasant, she will deny it outrightly, and his father is Ming Yibo, and he has a lot of relationship with Yasukuni, if he wants to use this trick to deal with Lu Pheasant, there will be no result at all, and he will be completely evil.

What's more, Yan Xiaoxiao was afraid that His Highness would be unhappy.

But if he didn't do anything, Yan Xiaoxiao was also worried, and always felt that a poisonous snake was lurking beside His Highness, waiting for an opportunity to move, and it could bite at any time, bringing fatal injuries.

So take the initiative to play cards today, and Yan Xiao's purpose is to beat.

"I don't have martial arts, I can't beat my sister, but in this palace, it's not about who is high in martial arts!" Yan Xiaoxiao spoke, the smile on her face disappeared, and her tone became indifferent.

"You borrowed the power of Yasukuni to enter the palace, and you are willing to serve as a female official by His Royal Highness's side, if you don't have an attempt, my sister I don't believe it at all! If you want to get close to the water and get the moon first, and get the favor of His Royal Highness to become a side concubine, it's not a big deal. But if you have bad intentions, then don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Lu Pheasant listened to Yan Xiaoxiao's threat in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you believe that I have evil intentions?" If I really had bad intentions, I should have done it a long time ago! You should know that I served His Highness personally in the East Palace, and there were many opportunities to start. ”

Yan Xiaoxiao said: "You shouldn't ask me this question, but yourself." ”

Lu Pheasant was stunned for a moment and became silent.

Yan Xiaoxiao got up, walked outside, came to the door, and said: "Women know women best, Sister Lu Pheasant, don't be reluctant to feel this kind of thing." ”

With that, Yan Xiaoxiao walked out of the room.

Lu Pheasant took a deep breath and looked at the candle flame on the table.

She and her sister Lu Su came to Kyoto to plan revenge, just as she said to Lu Ao, although her godmother was taking poison, she was persecuted by Xiao Rui, and she herself was hit by a knife. It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he and his sister went in and out of Kyoto, they met Xiao Rui on the street, and even the dark disease of his lungs was cured by him.

The injury began with him and ended with him.

But at that time, she still did not give up her intention to take revenge, so he asked the Duke of Yasukuni to come forward and ask Emperor Xia to dissolve the marriage contract, and then asked the Duke of Yasukuni to submit a request to enter the palace as a female official.

Unexpectedly, Yasukuni did not refuse and did his best to help this matter.

Later, she finally got her wish and entered the palace and approached Xiao Rui.

She didn't do it immediately, she wanted to let someone take her sister away, and she didn't have to hang up first and then start, but as she got closer to Xiao Rui, she became more and more unable to do it.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that she Lu Pheasant fell in love with Xiao Rui.

Very bloody? That's how bloody it is!

Lu Pheasant felt deeply painful, but she was not under her control, as if there was a terrible force controlling her feelings, so that now she had no courage to do it at all. At the same time, I have to suffer a lot in my heart.

"Hey..."

How good would it be if his godmother hadn't died?

Lu Pheasant fantasized like this more than once.

……

The dinner party in the Tang Palace's mansion ended hastily at three o'clock.

After the princes sent the prince back to the palace, they dispersed. When Xiao Rui left, Xiao Yan reminded him in a blank eye, don't forget his request.

How to persuade Kong Xun'er to allow Xiao Yan to marry the side concubine, this is indeed a big headache, don't help Xiao Yan, after all, they are the closest brothers, so let Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue think of a way.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Rui took out a piece of paper, and after unfolding it, a name was written on it: Yang Feiyuan.

Yesterday, Xiao Rui entered the palace and cried to His Majesty for money, but the money didn't arrive, but His Majesty gave him an idea to make money, but this idea was to push Xiao Rui into the fire pit, because the important minister he wanted to investigate was none other than Yang Feiyuan, who was a scholar of the household department and a scholar of Wuyingdian University!

This is a Cabinet Scholar!

And he is also the father-in-law of Xiao Lie, the king of Jin, and his daughter is Yang Qing, the princess of Jin. Now it's really with Xiao Lie, the king of Jin.

After careful consideration yesterday, Xiao Rui decided to attack Yang Feiyuan, to be exact, to the Yang family behind Yang Feiyuan!

Yang is the local clan of Chang'an, Xijing, where it is intertwined, the influence is very great, Yang Feiyuan's eldest brother Yang Feipeng is the head of the Yang family, sitting in Chang'an, it is said that when Chang Shenghou was ordered to be stationed in the military town west of Chang'an, he personally went to visit Yang Feipeng.

Yang Feipeng served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites in Yongli for 14 years, and later returned to Chang'an, for what reason is unclear.

Yang Feiyuan is more powerful than him, at the age of eighteen he was promoted to the Jinshi, and later entered the Hanlin Academy, and was sent to the county order, the prefect, and the assassin history, and entered the household department, and now at the age of fifty-nine he has become a cabinet scholar.

Yang Feiyuan has been a remarkable scholar and cabinet scholar in the past four years, and he is not incompetent, otherwise he would not have entered the cabinet. In addition, His Majesty is a wise Majesty, and it is impossible to overthrow His Majesty, so he can only work honestly. Moreover, he has a good relationship with several other university scholars, Lu Yuanzheng, Shang Jin, Cheng Ming, and Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet, and there is no strong factional struggle.

So Xiao Rui was puzzled, did his father ask him to investigate Yang Feiyuan, or the Yang family?

Yes, the investigation of the Yang family must move Yang Feiyuan, and the investigation of Yang Feiyuan is also bound to move the Yang family, but there is always a first-come, first-served and cause and effect.

This is a question that Xiao Rui can't figure out now.

Xiao Rui always remembers that there is no right or wrong in officialdom, there are only positions. No matter how good the Qing official is on the wrong side, you have to be honest.

I came to Xiao Yan to attend the banquet today, and I didn't go to Cheng Zhan's Mansion, but I have to ask Zhang Liang and a few people for advice tomorrow, and understand His Majesty's intentions, so as to ensure that I don't do anything wrong.

Back in the East Palace, Lu Pheasant brought tea, and Xiao Rui, who was thinking about things, didn't notice that she was absent-minded, so he asked her to go down early to rest, and then Xiao Rui went to find Zhuge Liuying.

Xiao Yan's hit deeply stimulated Xiao Rui, and after living two lives, it is time to have a child, in other words, if he gives birth to an heir, will the system give birth to a reward? How many times will it be given?

It's a pity that Xiao Rui asked about the system, and the system was silent like a dead dog.

The next day, Xiao Rui had breakfast and went to Zhan Shifu.

I met Xiao He this time, as Jia Xu said, after Xiao He reported the planting situation, he proposed the problem of money, Xiao He also knew that he was short of money, but only by getting through this difficulty, Zhan Shifu would not be short of money.

Xiao Rui asked the four strategists to sit down, and then explained their intentions.

"I went to my father to ask for money in vain, but my father taught me a way to get money, and I can't see through my father's intentions now, so I came to ask the four of you." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he dipped his finger in water and wrote Yang Feiyuan's name on the table.

After the four of them looked at each other, they looked at each other.

Jia Xu took the lead and said: "Your Highness doesn't know Your Majesty's intentions, whether you want to move Yang Feiyuan or the Yang family. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "That's right, I can't think about it thoroughly." ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "In my opinion, Your Majesty's main purpose is to move Yang Feiyuan, but he will not bring him down, at most kick him out of the cabinet and retain his position as the head of the household." Of course, the punishment for him was to move the Yang clan behind him. ”

"Why?" Xiao Rui was surprised.

Guo Jia explained: "This should be His Majesty's layout. Now among the five cabinet scholars, Li Mingchong is on the side of His Royal Highness, Yang Feiyuan is the father-in-law of King Jin, and the granddaughter of Shang Jin is going to marry King Jing, and only Lu Yuanzheng and Cheng Ming remain neutral. Now that the crown prince has been established, His Majesty does not want to see a struggle, so it is necessary to choose a suitable cabinet scholar to serve in the cabinet. Even if Yang Feiyuan is dedicated to the public, he has to leave the cabinet. ”

Zhang Liang nodded and added: "As Mr. Wenhe said, Your Majesty asked His Royal Highness to move Yang Feiyuan, not to put him in prison, but just a means to drive him out of the cabinet, of course, the consequence of his loss of power is that the Yang family behind him will have a heavy hemorrhage." Since ancient times, if those in power have the means, then the family and the gate valve are all money bags. But if those in power are mediocre... It will also be destroyed in the hands of the Saga gate valve. ”

"So, the next step is Shang Jin and Li Mingchong?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang continued: "Lord Li is the first assistant of the cabinet, basically he will not move, and Lord Li is very smart and knows how to protect himself, which Your Majesty also knows. As for the Bachelor of Shang Jin... His Majesty will not touch him, but once Yang Feiyuan has an accident, it depends on whether he has a heart, if he is smart, he will take the initiative to write a letter and beg Zhishi. He is already sixty-three years old, and Zhishi has pushed and pushed, and now it is time to give up the position of the scholar and the secretary of the ministry. ”

Xiao Rui was silent, and replaced the two scholars at once, and His Majesty slipped through this method.

"Father, is it like this, do you mean to beat me?" Xiao Rui asked, which was also what he was most worried about.

The four of them laughed.

"Your Highness's current ability is not enough for Your Majesty to beat." Jia Xu said.

Xiao Rui thought about it, yes, although he has attracted many officials, such as Song Ci, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, Cui Changwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Hao Yun, the left deputy capital, Yu Shi Haoyun, etc., they are all deputy positions of the official office. Even if they have something to do with the Champion Hou, the Zhenyuan Hou, and the Changsheng Hou, they are all His Majesty's people.

Xiao Rui has too much brain, and he is afraid that he will become like Zhao Haizhi, the son of Zhao Guotian, so he can't help but bring it in, and it is completely a matter of thinking too much.

What's more, Emperor Xia is not comparable to Emperor Zhao's stay.
