Text Chapter 41 The Tree Falls and Scatters 1

"Erchen passed by and stopped by to see the queen mother." Saying that, the emperor had already sat down, put one hand on the armrest, and turned his head to look at the queen mother: "Tomorrow's birthday, you have to go to bed early, and take care of your spirit!" ”

"Emperor, the queen mother has been feeling more and more unable to sleep recently, a little haggard, and I don't know why, I always feel that there is something in my heart, but I can't say it." The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with a depressed face and said.

The queen mother's recent insomnia at night is not a day or two, although the emperor is the imperial doctor and the major doctors in the capital, they can not diagnose the cause of the queen mother's illness.

This is the first time that the queen mother took the initiative to mention her inner thoughts to the emperor, and the emperor knew that if it weren't for the mother's heart, she would definitely not say this in front of her.

"Go get some soothing tea." The emperor instructed the palace maids to say the right and left.

"Queen Mother, seeing that you are getting haggard day by day, Erchen is very worried in his heart, tomorrow is your birthday, I think it will be better to give your old man Chong Chong joy through your birthday." The emperor was really helpless to say this.

"Emperor, go and rest quickly, you don't have a lot of opportunities like me, an old woman who is idle all day."

Hearing what the queen mother said, the emperor was very sad, hesitated for a moment and got up to go back to the palace.

……

Liu Chunyan couldn't have been happier ever since she heard that Lord Du was sentenced by the emperor for treason.

Although it is not the revenge of his own hands, the bad guys have finally been retributed, and the Lu Mansion has been busy these days.

Lu Guozheng seemed to be extremely busy, and every day he left the Lu Mansion with his housekeeper and some gifts.

There is also Mrs. Lu, whose sadness is no less than Du Yuyan, seeing that her eldest brother is about to be beheaded after the autumn, she quarrels with Lu Guozheng every day at home, and asks Lu Guozheng to save Lord Du.

Didn't it just quarrel again, and Liu Chunyan listened clearly in the courtyard outside the house.

"You've been busy with something all day, and after so many days, things haven't looked a little bright." Mrs. Du spoke, and after speaking, she heard the sound of the water cup breaking on the ground.

"You talk, you can't make a fart when you sit there for a long time, but you talk." Mrs. Lu continued.

"Are you annoyed, you also see me running outside these days, and the antiques that have been collected at home for so many years have been given away, and others are not willing to help me, what can I do!" Lu Guozheng roared loudly.

"Don't forget, how did you get to this position step by step, I think you were just a staff member back then, and it was my eldest brother who took a fancy to you to become a second-class member of the court, you are ungrateful." Mrs. Du said with tears in her eyes.

Liu Chunyan listened to the quarrel between the two in the room outside the door, and felt comfortable in her heart, and the more she listened, the more she felt relish.

Slowly, she found that some people in the courtyard also began to whisper something, Liu Chunyan had not seen Lu Guozheng and Mrs. Lu blushing since returning to Lu's house, and it was the first time that the quarrel was so serious.

"Shut up, it's right that your eldest brother promoted me, but it is my Lu Guozheng who has been able to get to this position today with his own talents, and it has nothing to do with your eldest brother." Lu Guozheng said sharply.

"Lu Guozheng, Lu Guozheng...... What kind of person are you I still not know, talent? What talents do you have that you yourself are not clear? murdered his own daughter and gave away his own daughter in exchange for his official position. Mrs. Lu roared.

Liu Chunyan knew that the daughter in Mrs. Lu's mouth was referring to Lu Huaixiang, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel that this Lu Huaixiang was even more pitiful than her own background.

Lu Huaixiang's mother left her when she was young, and her father avoided her and was repeatedly used by him.

His family is unfortunate, but at least he has enjoyed the love of his father and mother, and his life was quite happy before his father was killed.

"If you heard this, I would have been a little relieved." Liu Chunyan muttered quietly.

"Ignorant woman, don't talk nonsense again, I, Lu someone, is no longer what it used to be, and your Du family no longer has the glory of the past, it's best for you to pay attention to proportions when you talk to me in the future." Lu Guozheng slapped his desk, stood up and shouted loudly.

"The housekeeper prepares a gift, I'm going out." Lu Guozheng roared loudly.

Lu Guozheng and the housekeeper walked outside for many days not for Lord Du, he was for himself, Lord Du was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, so the position of the prime minister of the DPRK and China became vacant, and he was running for this matter.

At present, there are only two people in the court who are qualified for the position of prime minister, thinking that it is Lu Guozheng, and the other is Song Jingchen.

In terms of qualifications, Lu Guozheng is better than Song Jingchen, after all, Lu Guozheng came out earlier and has always followed Master Du.

Song Jingchen's talent is far above Lu Guozheng, he dares to speak out in the court, and he is also vigorous and resolute in doing things, and his reputation among hundreds of officials is better than that of Lu Guo.

As for Qin Muyu and his ilk, he is not considered, he leads troops outside all the year round, mainly responsible for border wars.

It is impossible for Lu Siguan, the prime minister, to sit in the position, not that he is incapable, or that the emperor does not consider it, but he himself is not willing to take this position.

Lu Guozheng ran around the mansions of major officials in the capital all day long, just to let the ministers unite and nominate himself as prime minister, and for this reason, he took the initiative to fight for 9,000 years old.

Lu Guozheng promised to be sent by the nine thousand years old after becoming the prime minister, which indirectly shows that the remnants of the Du family will be collected by the nine thousand years old, which is extremely unfavorable to the Celestial Empire.

The 9,000-year-old power has further grown, and he will be able to do whatever he wants in the DPRK and China in the future.

Although Song Jingchen and Lu Guozheng are both carried by Lord Du, their personalities are very different, Lu Guozheng only likes power and wealth, while Song Jingchen takes it as his responsibility to ask for the people's life, and he can do whatever it takes for the dawn of the world.

In terms of the way they do things, the two of them have a fight, and Song Jingchen's ruthlessness is even better than Lu Guozheng.

Song Jingchen was on his way back to Beijing at this time, and the task of peace talks appointed by the emperor had been successfully completed, and he not only gave up the three cities he had taken with his own three-inch tongue, but also promised to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire every year and bow down to the Celestial Empire.

The results of Song Jingchen's trip were unexpected, including Lu Siguan and Jiu Qiansui.

In order to rush back to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, Song Jingchen worked hard along the way.

"It's really a nest of snakes and rats, this time the big trees are down, see what you can do?" Liu Chunyan looked at Lu Guozheng's departing back and whispered.

Liu Chunyan was about to leave, and she hadn't walked a few steps when she heard the sound of crying coming from Mrs. Lu's room.

Turning around, Liu Chunyan, who was standing in the corner, saw Du Yuyan in a hurry, at this time her face did not have the arrogance of the past, and she seemed to be cautious when she walked.

So Liu Chunyan didn't choose to leave in a hurry, she wanted to hear what kind of situation the Du family was like at this time.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Du Yuyan pushed open the door of the room and spoke.

"My poor little niece, what does my brother say that he has been arrested...... Which short-lived ghost framed him in the end, he can't die well. Mrs. Lu grumbled in that hoarse voice.

Liu Chunyan looked through the gap in the field, Du Yuyan's whole person stood stupidly in place, motionless, and Qiu Ju on the side was also very flustered.

After a while, Du Yuyan spoke, "Isn't my uncle at home?" ”

"Don't mention him to me, ungrateful, you can't count on this accident at all." Mrs. Lu said sharply.

"I want to hear from my uncle why my father fell into such a situation, he usually gets close to some officials in the capital, and he should hear some rumors." Du Yuyan never knew why her father was convicted of such a felony.

Du Yuyan was deceived by Qin Muyu before, and then she was played by the Khitan prince, she locked herself in the room alone for a few days and nights, and only today she came to her senses a little.

"He went outside all day long, and he didn't see any results, you still have to count on him, let's go into the palace together and see if we can think of a way." Mrs. Lu proposed to go into the palace with Du Yuyan to find her sister Du Guifei.

She didn't know the reason why they flew separately when the catastrophe came, and Concubine Du at this time didn't want to pay attention to Lord Du's affairs, she just wanted to keep her status in the palace and let the little prince get the emperor's favor, and she didn't want to provoke the saint for the affairs of the Du family.

"Since the emperor announced in the court that he would behead his father, the Du family has not been allowed to enter the palace at the age of nine thousand, and the day before yesterday, Du Guifei asked the eunuch to send a message to the Du Mansion, which probably means that we should not go to the palace to disturb her." Du Yuyan's words were full of helplessness, and almost the only hope was now dashed.

"Why is it like this, sisters, it's still not a family, it's only been a few years since I entered the palace, it's only been a few years!" Mrs. Lu didn't seem to believe what Du Yuyan said.

"Auntie, it's just you ......" said Du Yuyan and rushed into Mrs. Lu's arms crying, and the two hugged each other and cried.

If you let ordinary people who don't know see it, they will definitely sympathize with the pair of aunts and nephews who hugged and cried in front of them, but Liu Chunyan outside the window was not the slightest sad.

She knew that people like Lord Du should have been executed a long time ago, and staying in the world would only harm more people at dawn, and only more people would suffer.

"I knew why I had to do it today, when I killed those court loyalists, did I ever think that I would have today." Thinking in her heart, Liu Chunyan got up and left, she felt that it was boring to see the two people crying in front of her, so she decided to go out of the Lu Mansion for a walk.

On the other side, Qin Muyu and Yeluqi were very happy to drink in Zuichun Building, since they got Du Yuyan that day, Yeluqi was in a good mood, and they asked Qin Muyu to come to Zuichun Lou to drink together.

Qin Muyu hugged left and right, the girl in his arms kept feeding the wine, Qin Muyu kept stuffing the silver tickets for the two, "Uncle recently, I'm in a good mood, these are all rewards for you." ”

"This has been holding my breath in my heart for several years, and now I will give it all, refreshing, His Royal Highness the Prince...... Come, cheers......" Qin Muyu raised his glass to Yeluqi.

Yeluqi sneered twice, and there seemed to be another meaning under the smile.
