(Thank you for the reward of drifting around Europe and not choosing the middle route left or right, thank you.) )

After taking a break, Lu Shanji returned to the mansion, declined all visits, and went straight back to the study.

The emperor convened the cabinet ministers to discuss, and he quickly learned that this was all said through Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liu Zongzhou, the cabinet minister, and after learning about these situations, Lu Shanji's mood was very complicated.

The relationship between Lu Shanji and Sun Chengzong is extraordinary, Sun Chengzong passed away, Lu Shanji's pain is irreplaceable, Sun Chengzong just stepped down from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, immediately found him, said a lot of things, the most critical thing, is a series of things about Su Tiancheng, for Sun Chengzong's explanation, Lu Shanji was very surprised, but also seriously thought about it, originally wanted to find Sun Chengzong, ask for advice, I didn't think of this opportunity.

Sun Chengzong's most important requirement is that as long as it involves Su Tiancheng, as long as it involves Su Tiancheng, he must tell Su Tiancheng without reservation, whether it is beneficial or unfavorable to Su Tiancheng.

Lu Shanji served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, which is a very important position, and he knows very well that he can serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, also thanks to Sun Chengzong's recommendation, and his relationship with Yang Sichang is also good.

The matter discussed today surprised Lu Shanji very much, he couldn't figure it out, why would the emperor bring up the matter of peace that Huang Taiji said again, this is a matter that has been decided a long time ago, and there is no need to discuss it again.

has been in the imperial court for a long time, Lu Shanji has his own analysis, coupled with some reminders from Sun Chengzong, he has seen some issues clearly, the imperial court, or the emperor's attitude towards Su Tiancheng. I'm afraid there will be changes gradually, and the consequences of this change are probably catastrophic, in the last few days, some of the things in the matter and the imperial history are about to move, and they are talking about Su Tiancheng in private. This is a dangerous signal, does it indicate a change in the emperor's attitude.

According to Lu Shanji's understanding, the emperor proposed to discuss the matter of Houjin Emperor Taiji's peace, in fact, it was not aimed at Houjin, or Huang Taiji, but for Su Tiancheng, and the deep meaning in it was that Su Tiancheng's power needed to be limited.

This is by no means a good situation,

these cases. Did you completely tell Su Tiancheng, Lu Shanji was also a little hesitant.

After sending Sun Chengzong's coffin back to Gaoyang County, Lu Shanji stayed for two days, and then returned to the capital.

On the one hand, he is loyal to the emperor, and on the other hand, he wants to tell Su Tiancheng all the situation according to Sun Chengzong's requirements. How to make a trade-off between the two, this is the choice that Lu Shanji needs to make.

When the housekeeper knocks on the door. Lu Shanji was a little impatient.

"Didn't you say that, don't bother."

"Master, Sun Yue is here, saying that he has something to hand over to the master."

Lu Shanji hurriedly walked out of the study, and asked Sun Yue where he was as he walked, after learning that Sun Yue had arrived in the lobby. He walked briskly towards the lobby.

Seeing Lu Shanji coming in, Sun Yue hurriedly knelt down.

"Uncle Lu, I'm sorry for you a few days ago, my father left a letter before his death, and he asked that he must hand it over to Uncle Lu himself. Because of his father's death, he was a little negligent for a while, and his brother and brother were still in Gaoyang County, so he asked the younger generation to come back and hand over the letter to Uncle Lu with his own hands, so as not to miss the big event. ”

Lu Shanji was taken aback, and hurriedly helped Sun Yue, Sun Chengzong's first seven, all his sons have to keep the spirit, in this case, Sun Yue rushed back and specially delivered the letter, which shows the importance of the letter.

"Sun Yue, I'm bothering you to send a letter here, it's hard work, hurry up and take a rest, housekeeper, take Sun Yue to wash up and prepare dinner."

After the housekeeper took Sun Yue out of the house, Lu Shanji took the letter and returned to the study.

opened the letter, Lu Shanji looked at it carefully, and soon, his body began to tremble, the things mentioned in this letter were exactly the reason why Lu Shanji wanted to ask, but unfortunately the reason for this was too shocking and not something that Lu Shanji could understand for a while.

Until late at night, Lu Shanji still didn't come out of the study, obviously thinking about a major issue.

When approaching the son, Lu Shanji finally came out of the study, and the butler, who was shivering from the cold, was still waiting outside the study.

Lu Shanji was a little moved, he was originally a heroic person, a Mongolian man, and he was able to become the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, which is a rare situation. However, he will not easily reveal his feelings, and the loyalty of the housekeeper is in his eyes and in his heart.

"Has Sun Yue rested?"

"Rest, master, Sun Yue said, I'll go back early tomorrow morning, and after the first seven, they will return to the capital and come to visit."

"Zhilu said, early tomorrow morning, I want to go to the court, it's too late to send him, you tell him, tell their brothers, including Lord Sun's family, to take care of their health, the adults have already gone, they must not have any accidents."

"Master, the little one remembers."

When he was about to ask the housekeeper to rest, Lu Shanji suddenly thought of a question.

"Butler, there is a question, I want to ask, you have been in my house for a long time, you have always been very loyal, if I have any accidents, or I am condemned by the court, what are you going to do?"

This question is actually a bit redundant, Lu Shanji's heart has already made a decision, but he still wants to ask.

"Master, the little one has always followed the master, if the master has any accidents, what do the small ones need to do, the small ones will never give up, these are all small duties, don't dare to slack off, the little ones don't know the things in the court, but the little ones think that the master will definitely be rich and expensive."

"Hehe, you can't say it, okay, you go and rest, go see off Sun Yue tomorrow morning, their brother, it's been very hard recently, you must wait for me to greet you."

The butler nodded, turned and left.

The cold air made Lu Shanji more sober, and all the things mentioned in Lord Sun Chengzong's letter poured into his mind, the letter had been burned, which could never be left, and the blood was churning in Lu Shanji's chest, and he made a very important decision.

Lord Sun Chengzong saw through everything and told him these understandings as they were, and the adults even predicted that after the extermination of the Houjin regime, and even before the extermination of the Houjin Tartars, there would probably be a major change in the imperial court, and this change may first appear between Su Tiancheng and the cabinet, and then it is very likely to be between Su Tiancheng and the emperor.

Lu Shanji has thought about this problem for a long time, and also thinks that this situation is very likely to occur, but he doesn't want to see such a situation, over the years, especially when following Sun Chengzong's side, Lu Shanji has already felt that Su Tiancheng is by no means an ordinary person, with extraordinary courage and foresight, he watched the Jiangning camp grow stronger, and when the Jiangning camp exterminated 30,000 Tartars, he realized that it must be Su Tiancheng who will support the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Everyone knows that the matter of the high Dao Gong and the Lord of the Dao is unavoidable, Su Tiancheng has made such a great contribution, and the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, and it is very likely that it will conflict with the imperial power.

The solution is not nothing, on the one hand, the emperor has extraordinary insight and mind, on the other hand, Su Tiancheng can know how to properly converge, but unfortunately the current situation is that Su Tiancheng is very restrained, has always been low-key, over the years, in order to exterminate the Liukou and block the invasion of the Houjin Tartars, he has done his best to win the current situation, but the emperor is a little uneasy.

Lu Shanji felt such an atmosphere, let alone the ministers in the court.

Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet, has a good attitude towards Su Tiancheng, but how long this good attitude can be maintained, this is unknown, no one knows whether it will change slowly over time, Lu Shanji does not dare to guarantee, he believes that change will definitely appear, it is just a matter of time.

What especially surprised Lu Shanji was that Sun Chengzong entrusted all his family to Su Tiancheng, this is actually an attitude, a very clear attitude, this kind of approach explains everything, Sun Chengzong has seen that the achievements that Su Tiancheng can have are probably unprecedented.

The role of Su Tiancheng, it is needless to say, under the current situation, without Su Tiancheng, many favorable situations in the Ming Dynasty are probably going to disappear, the Ming Dynasty can't stand such a toss, and the changes in Dengzhou and Laizhou are probably a very clear reminder.

In his heart, Lu Shanji hopes that the emperor can become a generation of Ming monarchs and lead the Ming Dynasty to become strong, and he hopes that Su Tiancheng can continue to make contributions, destroy the Houjin, and create a new situation.

Unfortunately, this is just a wish, and such a situation may not necessarily occur.

Thinking of this, Lu Shanji's heart was a little cold, which was somewhat consistent with this cold climate.

Sun Chengzong's last meaning is actually more clear, and Lu Shanji can't avoid it, that is, he must make a choice at such a critical moment, the boss left such a letter, it is a high degree of trust in him, he will never implicate the boss, but how to choose, he is very hesitant.

After comforting himself, Lu Shanji felt that he still did what Sun Chengzong asked for the time being, and informed Su Tiancheng of all the situations that happened in the court, he was already a secretary of the military department, and he would look for opportunities to say more for Su Tiancheng in the court, maybe he could slowly change this situation, and maybe there would be the most beautiful situation.

Lu Shanji's figure was imprinted on the window of the study, and when it was over, he finally began to write a letter to Su Tiancheng. (To be continued......)
