Since Lu Jue was imprisoned as the crown prince, the most heard in the court hearings every morning was quarrels, no matter how big or small the things discussed in the court, there was inevitably a red-faced argument.

In the past, he would rack his brains to find a way to stop the quarrel as soon as possible at the beginning of the quarrel. But today's Lu Jue actually acted as a person outside the matter, and he didn't care about himself at all, that was the quarrel in the court, and he didn't move. Regardless of the sincerity or falsehood of these people, he decided to stand by and watch, holding hot tea in one hand and sipping tea slowly with the teacup lid in the other, watching this big show indifferently!

And most of these quarrelsome courtiers are showing off for Lu Jue, they don't care whether the argument is right or wrong, they are just fighting for the greatest interests of the faction they stand on. There are also a little people who understand, and Lu Jue is a bystander!

In the past, as long as you started to quarrel, you would hear Lu Jue's sound of stopping, but this time after arguing for a long time, he didn't hear a word, and gradually the sound of the quarrel became smaller and smaller, and in the end, he stopped the quarrel, and all looked at the person who was high up, and he sat there leisurely and enjoyed tea, not affected at all.

Seeing the positive angle and ignoring it, everyone guessed that even if they tried their best, it might not have much effect, so they returned to their original position one by one and stopped making a sound.

Sometimes I have to admire Lu Jue's scheming, and he will win every time with static braking, just after everyone quiets down. He gently buckled the lid of the teacup on the teacup, stood up with the table, swept everyone as if nothing happened, and said lightly: "Since there is no result today, let's continue tomorrow." Knocking on the table, he motioned to the eunuch standing beside him to take the fold, put his hands behind his back and stepped out of the court first, leaving the courtiers kneeling on the ground with big eyes and small eyes.

When Lu Jue got out of the hall, everyone got up one after another, these courtiers, you look at me, I look at you, who looks at no one is pleasing to the eye, and they have the heart to argue once, but the positive angle has already left, even if they really argue a result, it is meaningless, and they are unwilling to disperse one by one.

The last two walked unhurriedly, and saw that the person in front of them had already traveled far away, and no one would hear them, so they began to talk. The first to open his mouth was Zhu Chen, who snorted and laughed: "I didn't expect him to be smart today, since there is no result today, he should take another step tomorrow." ”

Wei Gao looked at him with a smile: "Will it be that easy?" Let's hope we can make it happen, right? But the skepticism in the words could be clearly heard.

Compared with this scheming person, Zhu Chen was obviously just cannon fodder, and he smiled disapprovingly and hinted: "As long as the battle with Mongolia does not start one day, it will be rare for him to have peace for a day, and there are not many generals available in the court, and most of them are Wei's people!" Even if he had the money in his hand now, he would not be able to fight. In the end, military power will definitely be in your Merriam-Webster's pocket. If you want to make your wishes come true, you have to help Uncle Wei! ”

Undoubtedly, this is in Wei Gao's arms, with this bird, he will be absolutely safe, Wei Gao is grateful to hug his fists and thank: "The micro ministers are small and the officials are small, and they have to rely on the prince to go up." If so, the Wei family can really get this benefit, and they will not forget the grace of the prince! ”

"Well said, well said." Zhu Chen couldn't hide his smug laughter.

Lu Jue, who got out of the court, did not rush back to his East Palace Prince's Mansion, but walked in the direction of Fengqi Palace with a lot of worries.

The eunuch who was holding the cloak beside him, seeing his frowning appearance, thinking about the quarrels in the past few days, knew why he was upset, took two steps, hurriedly put the cloak on him, and persuaded: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has an idea in his heart, so why bother to worry about these trivial things, hurting his body will only weigh the hearts of others." ”

Lu Jue glanced at him, tied his belt, frowned, and asked, "When did Yang leave?" ”

The eunuch said: "I left before the dynasty was dispersed, listening to the following, it seems that the emperor is sick again, and all the doctors in the hospital are there." Do you want to go, Your Highness? ”

Lu Jue didn't answer his words, but stopped, looked at the gloomy sky with snowflakes, and stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes: "It's snowing, this is the second snow this year." He lowered his head and sighed, and continued: "Mongolia and we are both competing for time, and the longer this war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. But since the fall of King Luo, almost all the martial arts have defected to Webster, and the rest are either old or afraid of Webster's revenge and repeatedly pushed! Webster and the ministers are well aware of this, so they will make a big fuss about this matter and quarrel endlessly. If it really drags through the winter and the beginning of spring, it will be even more difficult to win! ”

Liu Fuling, who had been listening to the government for a few days, rubbed her head in pain, and pouted: "I used to think that being an official and an emperor would only be enough to sit in the lobby with majesty, but I didn't expect it to be so bothered!"

"Whether it's the main battle or the collegiate discussion, even if it's pushed by everyone, it's nothing more than for the silver." The eunuch took out a handkerchief and wiped Lu Jue's hands while whispering such a sentence next to him.

Although Lu Jue did not review this matter, he was already noncommittal, and sighed and said: "I have read the account books of the household department, and asked them to take out two million taels, which is indeed embarrassing them. The emperor exempted taxes from several places one after another, and at this time, Wei Han Lion opened his mouth on purpose. ”

Liu Fuling tilted her head, pouted, and said very seriously: "But looking at his appearance, even if he can really come up with two million taels, he may not be able to go to war!" We have to prepare the money, but the most important thing is to find the right people and catch them off guard! However, the people in the court can't believe it, and they can let Tingfeng inquire, those generals who have the ability, but can't do anything, will lead the troops. Newly promoted, they will remember the young master's kindness, and it will be much more convenient for them to use it in the future! ”

Lu Jue knocked on his head with a smile and said, "This time in Beijing, you are getting smarter and smarter." ”

Liu Fuling shrunk her neck and said with a smile: "The young master has praised it, so should we prepare the silver first, or find the right person first." ”

The eunuch glanced at the two of them, walked to Lu Jue's side, bowed slightly and said, "People can be found at any time, and the silver must be prepared in advance." lest anyone be found, and the money not prepared. His Highness was caught off guard! ”

Liu Lingling glanced at him: "That's right, but what about the money?" The point is that the treasury does not have so much silver now! ”

The eunuch smiled and looked at Lu Jue and pointed out: "There is no treasury, but Uncle Zhongyong has!" Uncle Zhongyong is rich and rivals the country, these two million taels are nothing to him, His Royal Highness can open his mouth to his father-in-law with the livelihood of the court, so Uncle Zhongyong has no reason to excuse himself! ”

Liu Fuling glared at the eunuch and said angrily: "Lu Yin, what do you mean!" Even if the treasury is dry, I can't let my young master reach out to his father-in-law! You underestimate my young master too much, those two million taels are just nine cows for our young master、、、、、、" was talking energetically, and when he heard Lu Jue's cough, he immediately stopped his words and stepped aside.

Lu Jue squinted at the eunuch with emotion, he wanted to find a protégé for himself before, but this person was willing to be the rootless person in order to repay the love of a woman's life. Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and without a reliable person, Lu Jue is like a broken arm, and he is a little constrained in many things. But now when I hear this man say this kind of thing again, I have some doubts about who he was instructed by, and I am also questioning my own vision!

Yes, the eunuch who followed Lu Jue and replaced Yang Wei was Lu Yin of the Wilderness Inn.

Lu Jue turned around, looked at him with cold eyes, and said, "I've always felt weird, why did you suddenly appear in front of me in this capacity?" ”。

Lu Yin frowned, realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and quickly knelt down: "The slave just said in vain, Your Highness forgives your sins!" ”

Lu Jue bent down to look at him and asked, "Say, why did you suddenly enter Beijing." ”

Lu Yin said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suspects the minion's intentions? ”

Lu Jue said: "If I hadn't been there, Yuexiu might not have died!" Let's make it clear, you are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and I am the prince of Great Qi! Where can new and old hatreds be faithful? Say, who sent you? ”

In the face of his questioning, Lu Yin was very calm, and only said a few words: "What do you think about after many years, how many people can recover from the change of dynasty!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Jue didn't say anything, gave Liu Fuling a look, and turned to leave.

"Get up!" Liu Lingling bent down to help Lu Yin up

Lu Yin, who was helped up, was full of doubts, looked at Lu Jue's back, looked at Liu Fuling again, and asked, "Palace... What does this mean, Your Highness? ”

Liu Fuling smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, since you choose to be loyal to my young master, you should have less crooked thoughts!" I hope you will serve my young master with me! You are outside the Lord, and I am in the Lord. ”

... Hearing him say this, Lu Yin looked at him with a black line and a frown.

The crown princess and concubine were promoted, and they must enter the palace the next day to thank the saints. Zhou Ruoshui entered the palace for the first time, and it was among so many suspicious people. Lu Jue was naturally relieved, but fortunately, accompanied by Zhu Feifei, he was somewhat relieved. But even so, after a while, he still went straight to Fengqi Palace.

But when he walked to the garden near Fengqi Palace, he met Yuan Guifei sitting in the pavilion, at this moment, at this time, there is no need to ask about this posture, thinking of the four words when she left on the day of the concubine, he could already guess that she was waiting for herself. Lu Jue walked straight over without hesitation, folded his hands and saluted: "Minister, I've seen the concubine." He glanced at the corner of Fengqi Palace in the distance and asked, "Scattered inside?" ”

Yuan Guifei smiled and stood up with the support of the maid: "The concubines of the imperial palace are new, and the queen mother will inevitably go to lecture her." Hongu felt bored, so he rewarded them with some jewels and jade and left first. ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue didn't mean to stay, he couldn't hide his worry, and hurriedly saluted: "The minister retired first." Compared to Zhou Ruoshui's safety, those annoying things are nothing, but he was just about to leave.

Concubine Yuan stopped him: "The matter between women, the prince can't help much, I'm afraid it will backfire!" The crown princess is very intelligent, and His Royal Highness does not need to worry. ”

Lu Jue frowned and said: "Shui Er has never seen me cheat in the deep boudoir, if I suffer a loss because of my identity, I can't live with her!" ”

"It is the luck of the crown princess that the prince has this heart, you can rest assured, the crown princess has decent questions and answers, and her manners are generous. Even if it is for the interests of the family, the queen mother cares more about the majesty of the mother's world, and if she can't find anything wrong, she won't do anything excessive except for a few words! Glancing at Lu Jue as he spoke, he still looked at Fengqi Palace with a restless heart, shook his head and sighed with a smile and continued: "Although Empress Wei, Wei Gao and Wei Han are blood brothers and have the same ambitions, they are also different. Wei Yuan'er is the crown prince, if she can win the favor of the prince and give birth to the emperor's heir, the future lord of the first house will definitely be in the bag! Compared with the unattainable throne of the country, Wei Gao cares more about such rights, and the queen also cares! ”

Noticing the aftermath of her words, Lu Jue turned around to look at Yuan Guifei, and only after a long time did he arch his hand and said: "Xie Guifei Niangniang's teaching, it will be difficult for me to walk in the future without relying on Wei's, but since I have decided to keep my promise, even if the sky falls, I will have to carry it, and I will not have half a heart of sorry for Shui'er!" ”

"This is a good thing for the crown princess!"

"I don't have this heart, I don't have this intention, even if I force it, it's just a sad thing for double injuries! However, I am not a negative person, nor am I an incompetent person, and I will do my best to protect my wife! ”

He would say this Yuan Guifei was a little surprised, looked at him for a moment, smiled, took a jade hollow sachet from the tray in the hands of the palace maid on the side, and handed it to Lu Jue: "This palace and your queen mother are sisters who entered the palace at the same time, and you should have celebrated with you when you were safe." But this is an eventful time, so others will grab your handle, so I will give you my beloved things! ”

Lu Jue didn't take it, and hurriedly pushed it back: "This is the mother's beloved thing, and the minister can't take away the love of others." ”

Yuan Guifei didn't take it back, but put it directly in Lu Jue's hand, patted it and said, "This is an old man's thing!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue looked down, the texture of this jade seemed to have been seen somewhere, and for a moment, he seemed to realize something. So he asked, "Is this something from Empress Hyohyun?" ”

Yuan Guifei smiled and stood up, and actually told Lu Jue about the past: "I was elected to the palace together with Empress Xiaoxian and the queen. Empress Xiaoxian was fortunate to be canonized as the crown princess, and the palace and Empress Wei were canonized as Liangdi. The women who have just entered the palace are still more or less innocent and simple, but slowly they all care, who has more favors, whose rewards are precious, and who has a higher rank than whom! The sisterhood who just entered the palace will no longer have any points, and over time, they will all be divided! ”

Lu Jue asked: "The reason for Cao Yun should be that more than 20 years ago, when the emperor was still the crown prince, he was assassinated when he inspected the Cao Yun water conservancy along the south coast of the Yangtze River for the first emperor!" The concubine has been with the emperor for a long time, so she should know the reason for this, right? ”

Yuan Guifei glanced back at him, and the smile on her face faded, although it was light, she could still vaguely see that she also had hatred and guilt that was difficult to get rid of. It took a long time to return to normal, and he smiled indifferently: "The crown princess was pregnant back then, and she didn't want to accompany her?" But when she said this, she suddenly stopped speaking, turned her head to look at the Fengqi Palace standing there, and looked at her with contempt: "The hour is not early, it should be scattered inside, the son is not a father, the prince must protect his princess!" The palace is a little tired, so I won't hinder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here. ”

These words without a beginning and no end pressed Lu Jue's heart uncomfortable, and he wanted to ask clearly, but when he thought that Zhou Ruoshui was still in Fengqi Palace, it was enough to stop. Folded hands and saluted: "Congratulations to the concubine." ”

Yuan Guifei held up the palace beard of the sachet and smiled mysteriously: "This is a good thing!" With that, he left.

Lu Jue looked at her far away back, and fell into the deep mist.
