Lu Guangting was half invited and half ordered by Li Jinzhong to take to the study of the Jin State Mansion, and after listening to Li Jinzhong express the doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but start his own calculations. From the various actions of the emperor he observed in the Daming Palace in recent days, Lu Guangting, who was good at investigating and investigating cases, keenly realized that Li Jinzhong, who he had been loyally following for many years, was likely to become the emperor's next target.

Although Shang Jing was tortured two years ago, he personally confessed that the prince was the mastermind behind the crime of finding someone to blame, and he had a history of selling his life to save his life, and after his comeback, his ranking and status in the Inner Servant Province were below himself and Wu Xiaozhong, but whenever the emperor summoned himself and the other three to inquire about the government in the Baoxiang Palace, he arrived earlier than himself and Wu Xiaozhong.

Lu Guangting had every reason to believe that every day before he and Wu Xiaozhong arrived at the Baoxiang Palace, there would be a secret discussion between Shang Jing and the emperor that was not known to others. Perhaps, only the things that the emperor and the two of them discussed secretly are the most core, confidential, and crucial things, and Wu Xiaozhong and himself are just the emperor's intention to call over and be Shang Jing's foil.

If the truth is really as he guessed, in the future, it will not be him, the new favorite who has made great contributions to the Jing Palace and rewarded the knight, but still respects this old love.

The reuse of Shang Jing is a very obvious signal from the emperor. Li Jinzhong will be prosperous and declining, and after being used by the emperor to deal with the remnants of the Zhang family, he was ruthlessly abandoned, and he made a bad trouble, and he will follow in the footsteps of the Zhang family, and it is not known that he will end up in a different place. And he, Lu Guangting, as Li Jinzhong's most powerful confidant recognized by the court, at this critical moment, if he is not careful, he will be put on hold by the emperor with Li Jinzhong, and even unlucky with Li Jinzhong, it is almost inevitable.

Regarding Li Jinzhong's temperament, Lu Guangting, who has followed him for many years, can be said to be very familiar. If he kindly reminded him at this time to retreat bravely and protect his life, not only would he not be alerted and change his course, but it would also be very easy for him to doubt himself and even dislike him, maybe he would be unlucky before Li Jinzhong lost his power and position.

Based on these considerations, Lu Guangting has been deliberately avoiding meeting with Li Jinzhong alone for the past month. But when Li Jinzhong invited him to come over to talk about it today, although Lu Guangting was not very reluctant in his heart, he had to agree to come down first. And before that, when the two of them were still halfway back to the Jin State Mansion, Li Jinzhong couldn't help but make it clear to him that he suspected that Wu Bi would be the guard in front of his mansion in the future Xing'er faction It was an ulterior motive, which made Lu Guangting feel in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

In his opinion, Li Jinzhong's unauthorized use of the prison army as a guard in the mansion was not a wise move, and now the emperor will be used as the guard of the Jin State Mansion all under the command of Wu Bi, Wu Bi is even more blatant to transfer Lai Xing'er, who has become an enemy with Li Jinzhong, to be on duty in front of his mansion, and it is only one step away from a holy decree to remove Li Jinzhong from his official position and give gold to persuade him to retire.

Such an obvious thing, Li Jinzhong himself still didn't see it really, but instead nagged to ask for his opinion, Lu Guangting couldn't help but let out a long sigh: What a fan of the authorities!

After thinking about it repeatedly, he followed Li Jinzhong to the study in the mansion and sat down, and Lu Guangting said cautiously: "My subordinates originally heard Enxiang mention that the emperor had made a promise to Enxiang in person, and when Jinggong received results, he would give it to the prince. At the moment, regardless of Wu Bi's sending the little guy surnamed to the door of the Enxiang Mansion, what is his intention? Relying solely on the merits of Enxiang now, it is a matter of course to reward the king for the land, and the capital still does not stop, so it is better to take the opportunity of the king to raise the domain and lead the government from afar, and it is also possible to see what kind of medicine is sold in Wu Bi's gourd, and then the camera should deal with the best policy. ”

Li Jinzhong didn't expect that after Lu Guangting listened to his inquiry, he didn't say a word for a long time, but at this time he said such a thing for no reason, stared at him dissatisfiedly, and said slowly: "Guangting, do you want the old man to retreat and leave the capital?" ”

Hearing the words "retreat as advance" from Li Jinzhong's mouth, Lu Guangting's eyebrows trembled. According to his original intention, he wanted to euphemistically persuade Li Jinzhong to accept it when he saw it, and took the initiative to ask the emperor to retreat, so that even if the emperor really had some unfavorable thoughts about Li Jinzhong in his heart, seeing this situation, it was inconvenient to impose punishment. And Li Jinzhong's heart was still thinking about Jin all the time, which made Lu Guangting feel both frustrated and worried.

Thinking that Li Jinzhong was his old boss who had followed him for many years after the saddle, and when it came to a critical juncture, Lu Guangting really couldn't bear to watch him obsessed, and he picked up the rope loop that others had tied and often put it around his neck, so he replied with a dry smile: "Enxiangru is unwilling to leave the capital, and it is not that there is no other way. Then ask Enxiang to directly send the little guy surnamed Lai back to Wu Bi along with the newly changed sergeant, and tell him clearly that the dignified Jin State Mansion no longer needs so many forbidden troops to guard it, how about it? ”

Li Jinzhong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, stood up, pointed two fingers at Lu Guangting's nose, and said disapprerovingly: "Guangting, Guangting, I haven't seen you these days, how did you become so timid?" A few days ago, the emperor entrusted the important task of public security in Gyeonggi to the old man's shoulders, and only a Wu Bi would hide in the dark and use some unsightly methods, where was the old man afraid of him? Not to mention one or two hundred forbidden troops, if the old man wants to mobilize the 20,000 prison troops under your command, will you not follow the old man's orders? ”

He saw Lu Guangting sitting dumbfounded, speechless, as if he was refuted by himself and couldn't answer. So, he became more self-righteous, pacing with his hands behind his back in the room, and continued: "Regarding the little guy Lai Xing'er, he is indeed a little strange, and it is likely that Wu Bi used to test the old man's pawn. However, the old man didn't plan to send him back to Wu Bi just like that, but asked him to get closer to the old man to see what big things this little baby who was taken out of the idle yard by the old man himself could do?

I have sent someone to wait for the little baby in front of the Muwang Mansion, don't be busy walking today, accompany the old man to meet him for a while, and see how much he can stand these days? ”

Lu Guangting secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word to persuade Li Jinzhong to keep his eyes open.

Li Jinzhong asked someone to prepare some wine and food in the study, and while asking Luguangting about the emperor's various actions in the harem, he waited with him for the arrival of Lai Xing'er. (To be continued.) )
