Lu Jue's garden full of plum trees and green bamboos has a very chic name 'Linxiang Garden', and when the plum blossoms in three seasons, you can smell bursts of fragrance everywhere, and the lotus flowers in the pond and the Xiangfei bamboo in front of the house are well deserved.

In a few moments, a few people who passed through the plum tree arrived in the hall.

"Father, mother......" As soon as he entered, Zhou Ruoshui couldn't help but exclaim, the distinguished guests sitting inside were actually his parents, brother, as well as Lu Jue's parents and second brother Lu Tianhua, and there was a man who looked a little similar to Lu's father, slightly chubby, and about fifty years old, dressed as a martial arts practitioner. This person is Lu Jue's eldest brother and Lu Guohao's eldest son Lu Tianze.

Facing her surprised gaze, Lu Jue smiled gently, took her hand, stepped forward, and knelt down with her in front of the four elders and bowed in unison: "Child, please say hello to my father." ”

"Alright, alright, hurry up." The two fathers picked up one by one.

As soon as the two got up, the two mothers pulled Zhou Ruoshui to ask for warmth, while Lu Jue had a good conversation with his father and brother!

As soon as Zhou Ruoshui came in, he noticed that something was wrong, and when he came to Ye Suxin, he asked, "Mother, where is my sister?" Didn't she come with you? ”

Ye Suxin didn't feel the slightest loss or sadness, and replied with a happy smile: "When you didn't leave, didn't someone come to propose marriage?" After getting along for a while, the two fell in love, and they had a good day a year ago, so they got married half a month ago! ”

"I'm married, how can I be in such a hurry!" No matter how Zhou Ruoning says, she is also the eldest daughter of Uncle Zhongyong, and it is really unexpected to marry in such a hurry. Zhou Ruoshui also understood the reason, and turned his head to look at Lu Jue, he didn't seem to be affected, and he was still chatting and laughing with them.

At this warm moment, Lu Yin walked in and looked at Lu Jue who didn't speak, just stood at the door.

"I'll take a look." Lu Jue said sorry to several relatives, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yang Wei is outside."

"I see, you go and make him wait."

"Yes," Lu Yin said and withdrew.

Then Lu Jue returned, explained to his relatives, and left with Jiang Huan.

When they returned, it was late at night, and everyone except Yao Gongzhi, who was in his old age, was sitting in the hall waiting for their return.

Seeing that the person had returned safely, the relatives immediately greeted him and greeted him with warmth. Delivering the stove, pouring hot tea, and holding blankets, this warm scene is also unforgettable for Lu Jue many years later!

After all this was done, Zhou Wenfeng spoke first: "Don't ask me how I know some things, since the emperor already has ......."

"Father-in-law" Lu Jue glanced at Zhou Ruoshui, immediately stopped her, stood up and took her hand and said softly: "You and your mother-in-law haven't seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot of things to talk about, you and your mother and sister go to the East Chamber to talk about yourself." When I'm done talking to my father-in-law, I'll pick you up. ”

Zhou Ruoshui didn't ask anything, mumbled, and left under the support of the two mothers.

But Lu Jue looked at her departing back full of sadness, and deceived her, although he didn't want her to be frightened, he still deceived her!

"She's sensible and distressing!" Zhou Zhao walked to Lu Jue's side at some point, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "Even if you can't help yourself, you can't treat her with a bad heart!" ”

"Brother, what do you mean by this, Shui'er is my wife, how can I bear her!" After speaking, he walked back and sat down, sighed and said, "Let my father-in-law worry about the child!" The selection of generals and silver is a trivial matter, but it is just a matter of choosing the opportunity to start a war, which makes the child a little distressed! It's too early and the end of the year is approaching, and no one has the intention, and if it's late, the consequences are even worse! ”

Han Shao said: "This is just a small matter for you, what you have to think about now is another thing!" That is, the court has been discussing and starting a war for a long time, and you only know that the main fighting side is Webster and his ilk. Do you know who is the main party of the collegial party? ”

"Your Majesty!" Recalling the scenes in the court, coupled with today's drug test, Lu Jue can only think of this person.

Han Shao nodded and continued: "Yes, it doesn't matter to him whether to fight or not, you and Wei are the thorns in his side, no matter who is removed from him, it is a good thing for him!" At noon today, the emperor summoned the old general, the old prince and me, as well as the prime ministers on the left and right, and also revealed his intention to find a noble woman to marry to Mongolia! ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue seemed to understand something, and glanced at Zhou Wenfeng with deep meaning.

Zhou Zhao realized the meaning of Lu Jue's glance, his mind was lively, he glanced at him, coughed and said: "No wonder the peace party is so active, it turns out that the emperor is casting a long line to catch big fish." You can reap the benefits of the fisherman after Webster and Xiao Jue, and you can avoid war by collegiate discussion, and settle down in front of the people! ”

"That's right!" Lu Jue retracted his gaze and hooked the corners of his mouth, and looked at Zhou Wenfeng lightly.

Lu Jue's gaze really made Zhou Wenfeng uncomfortable, he stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, a burst of cold air made him refreshed, and he turned around before speaking: "At this time, no matter who understands in their hearts, it is more meaningful to start a war with Mongolia than to discuss it." Mongolian ambitions are huge, marriage does not work! The emperor also understands this, but he also knows that this battle is not easy to fight, and the chances of winning with Webster's intervention are very small, if he loses, who should bear this charge? ”

"I" Lu Jue smiled, and said again.

"Not bad." Zhou Wenfeng immediately nodded in agreement, returned to the table and sat down to stare at Lu Jue intently and said: "Test you with poppies and force you to hand over the troop transfer token, and his heart will be revealed!" ”

Lu Jue said: "The emperor wants to retry the case of King Luo's rebellion and the death of King Qi, and he wants to implicate Wei in this case!" ”

This made Han Shao a little confused, he frowned and said, "What does he mean like this?" ”

"Because he wasn't sure if those four tokens were really in my hands, he thought that in order to avoid Wei's troubles, I obediently handed over the remaining tiger talisman and Taizong's jade plate."

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Is this battle fought? Han Shao looked sideways at Zhou Wenfeng and asked.

Zhou Wenfeng pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Jue and asked, "Do you think this battle will be fought or not?" It is your reputation that you have achieved, and what you have lost is the relationship between your father and son! "Maybe at this time, the silver and the election are no longer something they have to embarrass about, but it depends on whether Lu Jue, who already holds high power, has the determination to take risks!

"This is also the reason why the father-in-law married his daughter in a hurry, I understand what you mean!" Lu Jue smiled sadly, took out a fold from his arms and handed it to Zhou Wenfeng: "I entered the palace just now, this is the gift I asked the emperor for, the emperor has decreed that Ning'er is the lord of Jiaren County, enjoys the right to enter the palace, and is worshiped by local officials." I also asked Poria to buy a dowry for her according to Shui'er's dowry list. Ning'er got married in a hurry, I don't want them to look down on her! Please father-in-law don't shirk this heart! ”

Zhou Wenfeng was not moved by this heart, he held Lu Jue's shoulders tightly, and said with relief: "What more can you ask for if you have a son like this!" It's the father-in-law who is narrow-minded! At this point, Zhou Wenfeng has opened his heart and truly accepted this person with a seven-trick exquisite heart. I don't treat him as an outsider's son-in-law, but my own child!

In this way, Zhou Wenfeng no longer had any previous worries, held the table and continued: "I'll tell you the truth, no matter what, this battle must be fought, not only to fight, but also to fight early, but also to win, he has no power to fight back!" ”

Han Shao said: "Huercha is not so stupid, he has just fought a few battles with Jin Guo, although he has won every time, he may not be unscathed." This battle is not so easy to start, and it is not good for us to travel long distances! ”

"Zhao'er, map." After saying that, he stood up and removed all the teacups, teapots, and other items on the table. After Zhou Zhao took the map, spread it out on the table, pointed to the place with the red circle, and said: "You think of Huercha too simply, this is from a friend I trust, the other person is in Huchengyi at this time, after Huercha captured the Jin Kingdom, he didn't stop, and now he has captured Huchengyi!" Huchengyi has been conquered, and the others are not worth mentioning. Zhou Wenfeng pointed to the road map and said, "I have already thought about their marching route, and this is the distance they may have to attack in the future." ”

Hearing this, Han Shao immediately picked up the map and looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he slapped the table and said angrily: "It's captured so quickly, if you don't think about stopping Yuncheng, it's too late to do anything!" ”

Lu Jue listened carefully to their discussion, and his eyes did not take off the map, and suddenly, he pointed to a small road near Yuncheng that was not very obvious and asked, "What kind of road does my father-in-law's friend say this is?" ”

"This?"

At this time, Han Shao suddenly realized and looked at Zhou Wenfeng and said, "Do you still remember that once, when you were in a duel with Jin Bing, you fell into a traitor's plan, and how you were trapped in Yuncheng and turned defeat into victory?" ”

"So that's the road!" Zhou Wenfeng looked at the map carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he said: "Yuncheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one main road, if the Mongolian army is trapped in Yuncheng, it will be effortless to win this battle!" With the speed of their capture, this battle will start in February at the latest, and if it is too late, it will be difficult! ”

"I have prepared the military expenses, but this chief general does not know who to choose? I have three candidates here, but I haven't seen a bad estimate! Yesterday I sent someone to summon them, and they will be in Beijing in a few days. After speaking, Lu Jue opened a fold and put it in front of several people, pointed to the three names and said: "The first Wang Hui stationed in Gansu, I transferred his information from the Ministry of War, he was demoted to Lanzhou in the seventh year of Sogo because of his loss of honor in front of the palace, although he has been conscientious for more than ten years, he has not been promoted again until now; In one of the Kong Xiang garrisons in Shandong, there are not many records of him in the military department, only that he was a pioneer under the Luo Wang's anti-gold tent; In one is Zhao Chuan, who was affected by the witch Gu case, and the place where he was demoted is Lingnan! For a whole decade, everyone thought he was dead, and Pepsi only recently heard of him. ”

But Han Shao and Zhou Wenfeng were not surprised, and the two glanced at each other.

Han Shao spoke first: "Do you know who this Zhao Chuan is?" Why did the emperor demote him to the bitter land of Lingnan? ”

Lu Jue shook his head and said: "There is no record of this in Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Military Department, plus everyone thinks that he died on the way to Lingnan, although there is news about him recently, they still don't say a word about him." "It's no wonder that Lu Jue is ignorant, after all, the case of Wu Gu is a taboo in Zhongzong, and everyone naturally doesn't dare to mention it!

Zhou Wenfeng said: "He is your uncle, because King Jin died unjustly, he went to the palace, and was relegated to Lingnan after being captured by King Luo. Involved in the case of witch Gu, everyone didn't dare to mention it again! Oh, by the way, Zhao Yan in my mansion is his eldest son, your cousin. ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue was a little surprised, and only spoke after a while: "How about Zhao Chuan leading the troops?" ”

Han Shao said: "You can be the leader!" ”

"So reward him with a coach, how about Wang Hui and Kong Xiang as deputy generals?"

Zhou Wenfeng nodded and was about to speak, Zhou Zhao got up first and said: "Xiao Jue, brother, I don't have the wisdom of you, I can't be the commander and deputy general, I can't command the whole army, you give me a vanguard, let me contribute to your achievements!" ”

"This ...... Never, you ......" Lu Jue was interrupted by Zhou Wenfeng before he could finish speaking.

Zhou Wenfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just let him go, you also said that you have a duty for your relatives." Although that Zhao Yan's kung fu is not as good as the master around you, fortunately, he has a flexible brain, and he is also named a pioneer and a companion with Zhao'er! You can also take care of each other! ”

Lu Jue couldn't refuse, so he nodded reluctantly: "After they came, they rushed to Yuncheng on the sixth day of the first lunar month to expel the Tartars!" ”
