Lu Qinghong smiled bitterly and said: "The Lu family did not buy land in Xingyang, and among the five thousand hectares of fertile land, in fact, not a single acre of land belongs to the second uncle, and all the fertile land has nothing to do with him, but someone has put the land in his name, and he keeps it for others."

"Who is it?"

Lu Qinghong shook his head, "Second Uncle refuses to say." ”

"Why wouldn't he say it?"

Lu Qinghong was also suddenly dissatisfied, and raised his voice and said: "He is my elder and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, he refuses to say it, can I still hold his neck and force him to say it?" ”

"But this matter has affected the reputation of the Lu family, he is silent, where is the Lu family?" Lu Qing also shouted angrily.

Lu Qinghong slowly calmed down and said slowly: "Little sister, don't you think that someone is plotting against the second uncle behind this matter?" ”

Lu Qingchang let out a long breath, calmed himself down, and said to Lu Qinghong: "The general told me that this matter is very deep, and he asked me to tell you that the Lu family must continue to keep a low profile, run more schools and open Yizhuang, and don't be corrupted by money." ”

Lu Qinghong nodded, "I will take King Qi's words to heart." ”

Lu Qing sighed and said: "The general asked me to tell you again, at the request of the Imperial Observatory, the Celestial Dynasty will ask the court to inquire about this matter, if the second uncle can't pass it, he may be impeached and dismissed, the general asked him to prepare well, there are only two days." ”

After a moment of silence, Lu Qinghong asked, "Isn't Your Highness going to ask about this matter?" ”

Lu Qing shook his head, "This is the Lu family's matter, the Lu family should find a way to solve it by themselves, don't rely on others for everything,

Lu Qinghong couldn't hide the disappointed expression on his face, he also hoped that King Qi would be able to help them, but King Qi stayed out of the matter this time, helplessly, Lu Qinghong had to say: "Okay! I'll talk to my second uncle again. ”

.........

Lu Qinghong left the palace of the king of Qi, and then came to the mansion of Lu Chu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, today is not a holiday, but Lu Qinghong has no heart to take care of official business.

Lu Chu had just come back from the court, and he was like nothing had happened, going up and down, busy with official business, as if the recent rumors in Zhongdu had nothing to do with him.

This is also where many people sympathize with him, although he is a scholar, but his family is not rich, he lives in an official house, he has no house, the furniture is shabby, only a few old servants follow, and even his wife has to go to the street to buy vegetables in person, and the food and clothing are very frugal.

Such a Qing official actually owns 5,000 hectares of fertile land, no matter how you think about it, so many people defend him, since 5,000 hectares of land is true, it must be the property of the Lu family, and it has nothing to do with Lu Shangshu.

Some people also believe that the land is in Xingyang County, and it does not belong to the territory of the Northern Sui, and when the land was purchased, Lu Chu was not an official of the Northern Sui, and Lu Chu did not violate the laws of the Northern Sui, and this matter has nothing to do with the imperial court.

Some people also said that Lu Chu was the internal history order of Luoyang, and these manor lands should be rewarded by Emperor Tai, and the imperial court should investigate it clearly, and not criticize the ministers at will.

Although there were many ridicules and sympathies for him, Lu Chu ignored them and did not bother to explain them.

In the study, Lu Qinghong conveyed the attitude of the princess to his second uncle Lu Chu.

Lu Chu was stuttering and difficult to speak, so he had always been taciturn, and his words were very short and few, and he said in a half-loud voice: "In the afternoon, I.... I've seen Your Highness. ”

Lu Qinghong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Did Your Highness mention this matter?" ”

Lu Chu shook his head, "No! ”

Lu Qinghong smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, His Royal Highness didn't want to ask about this matter at all, he just asked the princess to remind us out of kindness, and the court will ask about this matter in the day after tomorrow." ”

Lu Chu smiled faintly, "This matter.... Your Highness's heart is like a mirror, in fact.... I also know who is spreading. ”

"Who is it?"

"Don't ask, don't worry about it, restrain the clansmen well, Your Highness is right, don't let the family style be corrupted by money."

Lu Qinghong touched a nail, this is his second uncle's stinky temper, he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't say anything, he is also a little disheartened, he really can't do it, so he asks his father for guilt!

......

The Northern Sui court did not hold a court meeting every day, but held a large court meeting on the fifth day of the first month of the first month every year, and the empress dowager presided over the celebration of the New Year, without discussing the government affairs, and only held a simple ceremony.

And every month, a small pilgrimage meeting is held on the day of synodic hope, that is, the first day of the first day of each month and the fifteenth day of each month.

Two days later, it was the first day of the sixth month, and before dawn, officials from all over the capital went out one after another, and gathered to Ziwei Pavilion, and the court meeting would start at the beginning of the hour, so the officials had to get up at the fifth watch, and rushed to the Ziwei Palace before the hour.

The court meeting was held in the Anyang Palace, because the time to enter the palace has not yet arrived, the ministers gathered in Anyang Square in twos and threes to chat, yesterday afternoon from the Yushitai a news quietly spread among the officials, today the court will discuss the Yushitai will ask the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lu Chu.

This news caused an uproar among the officials, first of all, Yushitai did not think that this was an extralegal matter, the territory of the Northern Sui was in the world, and Xingyang County was only illegally occupied by Wang Shichong, and secondly, it had reached the stage of court questioning, which means that Yushitai had sufficient evidence, otherwise a Shangshu would not be publicly questioned.

Once Lu Chu can't explain reasonably in the court questioning, the next step is the impeachment of Yushitai, even Zhang Xuan is difficult to shelter, after all, the Northern Sui strictly prohibits the annexation of land, this is the third regent decree signed by Zhang Xuan himself, more than 100 hectares will be demoted by three levels, and more than 500 hectares will be removed from office and take the title, not to mention that this time it is 5,000 hectares, and after the dismissal, it will inevitably be questioned.

Groups of officials in the square were talking about the matter in low voices, and Lu Chu was standing alone in the corner, no one dared to approach him, and he faintly heard the disdainful voice of an official, 'A hypocrite.....

Lu Chu was expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with him, at this time, there were footsteps next to him, and a deep voice said: "Lu Shangshu, I really sympathize with this matter." ”

As soon as Lu Chu raised his head, he saw that it was Nayan Pei Ju, and he said lightly: "Thank you Xiangguo for your concern." ”

Pei Ju asked with concern: "Does Emperor Tai know about this matter?" If he knew, it could be regarded as his reward to Lu Shangshu, and the case would be closed. ”

Lu Chu shook his head, "He doesn't know!" ”

Pei Ju sighed, "Lu Shangshu thinks about it again, I think Emperor Huangtai should know that as long as he finds a witness, it doesn't matter if he is in Luoyang now, as long as Shangshu insists that Emperor Huangtai knows about this, the old man has always supported Shangshu." ”

"Thank you Xiangguo, I have my own measure in this matter."

Lu Chu stuttered once he was in a hurry, so he tried his best to speak in a calm tone, although the speed of speech was very slow, but the meaning was very clear, and he didn't need Pei Ju's help in this matter.

Pei Ju was helpless, so he had to say: "Whether Lu Shangshu is willing or not, I still have to express my opinion, which is also my duty." ”

Lu Chu smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this time, a crisp bell rang from the steps, this is about to enter the hall, hundreds of ministers quickly lined up in two teams, and walked along Panlong Road to the top of the main hall.

The court meeting was presided over by the regent Zhang Xuan, and his couch was located above His Majesty, facing the ministers, but not the emperor, because he also had an ivory couch behind him, and there was a bead curtain hanging in front of the couch, which was the position of the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager Xiao would only appear on the couch on the fifth day of the first month of the first month every year, and her couch was usually empty.

Zhang Xuan entered the hall almost at the same time as the ministers, sitting on the couch, and on the table in front of him was a sword of the Son of Heaven of Shangfang, who was acting as the regent for the power of the Son of Heaven.

The ministers took their positions, and under the leadership of Su Wei and Pei Ju, they bowed down and saluted together, "See His Royal Highness the Regent, I wish His Highness a thousand years of life, a thousand years of life!" ”

"Ministers, please excuse me!"

Jang Xuan's voice is not loud, but the main hall is very cleverly designed, although the Anyang hall can accommodate 10,000 people, his voice can still be heard by every minister.

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Xuan said slowly: "Before the court meeting begins, I will announce one thing to you, Feng An, the governor of Lingnan, has officially accepted the canonization of the imperial court and is willing to surrender to the Northern Sui, Lingnan will garrison 30,000 troops, of which 10,000 local troops will be commanded by the governor Feng An, and the other 20,000 troops will be stationed by the imperial court. ”

The hall suddenly resounded with excitement, Lingnan finally returned, they all knew that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty also went to Lingnan, it is said that Feng Ang will be crowned as the king of Nanhai County, but they can only give Feng Ang the Duke of Xian Guo, and finally Feng Ang still chose the Northern Sui, which shows the general trend.

At this time, Yang Shidao, the young eunuch in the hall, knocked on the cloud board, and the hall was quiet again, Zhang Xuan glanced at Lu Chu from a distance, and said, "Let's start the court discussion!" (To be continued.) )
