"Is there such a thing?" Lu Shicai was shocked, and he said in a trance: "The three of them didn't spend money? Who are the other two besides Xiaguan? ”

"These two people are prime ministers, one is Lu Xiangxian, and the other is Cui Xiang."

Lu Xiangxian is very famous, he is a leader among the scholars, Princess Taiping asked him to be the prime minister, she wanted to use his fame to attract scholars to work for herself, and naturally she would not let him spend money. And the relationship between Cui Xiang and Princess Taiping is well known to the world, and it naturally doesn't cost money to be the prime minister. Before, Lu Shicai also said that Princess Taiping had taken a fancy to his talent, even if he no longer had self-knowledge, now he realized that there was a problem in it.

Lu Yue'er hurriedly said on the side: "Daddy, in the past few months, Princess Taiping has sent people to invite Tao'er to banquets many times, but Tao'er has refused, and even Princess Taiping herself has come to Tao'er's door. Can't you see that the reason why she promoted you is to show goodwill to Tao'er? ”

Now Princess Taiping and King Ping Li Longji are like fire and water, and both of them are striving for Li Tao's support, which shows Li Tao's weight. But Li Tao just ignored the two of them, and just felt at ease to be his own king of Xiaoyao County. Lu Shicai somewhat understood that Princess Taiping promoted herself without letting herself spend money, which was a change of favor to Li Tao, but not at all, as she said, she took a fancy to her talents. Thinking about this, Lu Shicai was a little depressed.

"King Lantian, thank you for reminding me, otherwise you would still be complacent in the dark?" Lu Shicai said.

"Lu Langzhong, you remember, there will never be a pie in the sky in this world!" Li Tao said solemnly.

"Lantian King. So what do I do now? Lu Shicai humbly asked for advice.

"First, take refuge in King Ping! You can also be a hero in the future. However, now Princess Taiping is powerful. I just promoted you again, and if you do this, I'm afraid she will take revenge on you, which is not good. Second, don't help each other! However, in this way, I am afraid that you will be offended on both sides, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the court. In a word. I advise you to stay away from Princess Taiping, the farther away the better! ”

"Lantian King, do you mean that Princess Taiping will definitely lose?" Li Tao's words made Lu Shicai shiver.

Li Tao nodded. No more talking.

"But neither of these options will work, so how can that be?" Lu Shicai rubbed his hands anxiously.

Lu Yue'er saw that Daddy was anxious on the side, and couldn't help but soften, she said to Li Tao: "Tao." You can help Daddy think of a way. All right? ”

Li Tao looked at Lu Yue'er for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, for your sake, I'll help him again." Just ......"

"I'm just afraid that your father will be reluctant."

"This fire is all in the house, what else can I reluctant? Lantian King, say it! Lu Shicai said on the side.

Li Tao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Lu Langzhong, I heard that the head of the Lu family has been sick recently. Is there such a thing? ”

Lu Shicai said inexplicably: "No? I just received a letter from my father the day before yesterday, and he is an old man who is in good health! ”

Li Tao smiled but said nothing.

Lu Yue'er couldn't help but shake her head on the side. With a brain like his father that can't turn, how can he gain a foothold in the court? She reminded: "Daddy, Tao'er means to let you use this as an excuse to resign and return to your hometown and leave the place of right and wrong." ”

"Huh?" Lu Shicai listened and was silent for a while.

Indeed, Li Tao guessed that Lu Shicai had struggled in the imperial court for so many years, and finally got to where he is today. Now let him give up his hard-won status like this, how can he be willing.

Seeing this, Lu Yue'er couldn't help but say angrily: "Daddy, are you an official fan?" You are so obsessed, rather than ending up with the Nine Clans in the future, it is better for me to break off this father-daughter relationship with you now. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yue'er said with tears in her eyes: "It's a pity that Ah Weng has worked hard for the Lu family all his life, and in the end, he has to take his life for his son and the entire Lu family." ”

Lu Yue'er's words made Lu Shicai sober up. He was so ashamed that he was embarrassed to even look up when he spoke to Li Tao: "King Lantian, I have to report this matter to my father, and in the end, I have to do it according to my father's wishes!" ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "I think the head of the Lu family will weigh the weight!" ”

Looking at Lu Shicai's distant figure, Li Tao stared at Lu Yue'er for a while before saying, "Looking at the way you looked just now, I remembered the situation when you bullied me in the private school. ”

Lu Yue'er was about to explain, but Li Tao got up and waved his hand and said, "That's good, I like it!" ”

……

"Hualang Zhonghao!" Li Tao saluted Hua Yunfeng.

"It's Tao'er, sit!" Hua Yunfeng stopped the herbs in his hand.

After Li Tao sat down, he asked, "Hua Langzhong, is the matter of King Ning's heir certain?" ”

Li Tao said that the heir of King Ning is Li Jin, the grandson of Emperor Ruizong and the eldest son of Li Chengqi, King of Ning. Although it didn't hurt its muscles and bones, it didn't leave any disabilities. But since then he has become yellow-faced, sick, and listless. Ruizong and King Ning were both worried. Seeing Li Jin getting thinner and weaker day by day, King Ning was very anxious in his heart. The imperial doctor has no cure, and he has searched for famous doctors all over the world, but he can't do anything. King Ning was in a hurry to go to the doctor, posted the emperor's list all over Chang'an, offered a reward for curing the little prince's disease, and promised high-ranking officials to do it, and horses to ride. Gold and silver treasures, the world's treasures, as long as there is something in the world, the royal family will respond to all needs. For a time, the government and the opposition, the streets and alleys, were all talking, and people were competing to spread the news. But the half-month deadline is coming, but no one dares to reveal the emperor's list. King Ning inquired several times a day, and Princess Ning also burned incense and prayed in the morning and evening. Li Tao told Hua Yunfeng about this and asked him to think of a way to cure Li Jin.

Hua Yunfeng nodded: "There is a way, but you have to take some risks!" ”

"Adventure? How to take the risk? Li Tao asked.

Hua Yunfeng told Li Tao about his idea, and Li Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard it: "This is really a bit risky, Hua Langzhong, you can do it, I support you!" Prepare yourself, I'll come and invite you at any time! ”

Hua Yunfeng agreed: "I know." ”

……

On the evening of the ninth day of the second lunar month, Cui Xiang quietly came to the Lantian Palace.

"Lao Cui, how have you been doing lately?"

Cui Xiang said expressionlessly: "I'm just a walking corpse now, it doesn't matter if it's good or not!" ”

"I'm sorry for you!" Li Tao sympathizes with Cui Xiang very much, and now I don't know how many people scold Cui Xiang for being a shameless villain, but who knows Cui Xiang's heart?

"As long as I can avenge Wan'er's blood hatred, I can still afford those infamy!" (To be continued......)
