Chapter 39 Make the best use of things
But it's a pity that he is only one of the Lu clan's branches, and he is far from being able to hurt the foundation of the Lu clan. After this blow failed, King Shou would inevitably find a way to pull the Lu family out from other ways and expose him to the sun. Why bother to trouble her, and she's still very useful.
There are many Gusu families, and the major families have been trembling to maintain their reputations. The Lu family's perennial reputation for honesty and honesty has a good reputation among the outside people, and it is almost impossible for King Shou to ruin the reputation of the Lu family with just one Lu Huan.
Moreover, clearing the name of a family based on the decisiveness of the Lu family will inevitably remove Lu Huan from the family tree. At present, this matter has no impact except for making the people applaud, and by the way, letting the patriarchs of several major clans cheer up and see if they can pull the Lu clan off the horse.
"He doesn't have time to trouble me right now. But I'll have to help him a little bit more to make the fire burn a little brighter. Xie Yao rolled up his sleeves and looked at the lake in the distance, and a sneer appeared in his beaded eyes.
"Who are you trying to calculate this time?" Gu Qingzhi's face was solemn, and she asked in a low voice in confusion.
Sniff and ask. Knowing that Gu Qingzhi has been an official for several years, although she is very sensitive in scheming, she is far from being proficient, Xie Yaoguang smiled, and her eyes softened: "I really want to meet the old patriarch of the Lu clan for a while-Lu Lingshan." ”
The father of the late Lu Hou.
It's not that outsiders in the family don't know about it, just because there is no private thing in anyone's family. And the situation in Gusu has long been controlled by the great family, and even if others have this heart, they have no chance to enter. can only watch cautiously from the sidelines, in order to be able to divide the shallow benefits and seek the way forward.
As for the Lu family, who has always been in the last position, it is even more because after Lu Lingshan's resignation, his status has plummeted, which is not as good as before, but because of the favor of Emperor Li, he can still make do with it.
This time, King Shou suddenly made it difficult to impeach the Lu family, which undoubtedly gave these people a little covetousness. The first to go down the building will fall, and everyone has stretched their necks and waited to squeeze into the ranks of the big clans.
After the death of his daughter, Lu Lingshan resigned from all his positions and was willing to stay at home, and others only said that Lu Lingshan was overly sad because of the early forgetting of his beloved daughter. But according to the news that Xie Yaoguang has learned, the real situation is not the case, Lu Lingshan has always felt that his daughter's death is strange.
The emperor was unwilling to investigate the matter thoroughly, and even persuaded Lu Lingshan to give up finding out the truth, Lu Lingshan angrily handed over the fold and resigned and went into hiding.
"If you want to see him, why don't I introduce you for you?"
"No, taking the liberty of coming to the door will only lead him to suspicion, and I do have the truth about Empress Xu's death in my hands." Xie Yaoguang was stunned, and his eyebrows were sidelined: "But before that, King Shou is digging up the secrets of the Lu family, so that this news can have the value he deserves." ”
"Tsk, you are pit King Shou, if he takes a wrong step, he will offend the Lu family."
Standing side by side with Gu Qingzhi, Xie Yaoguang bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the railing and said, "I not only have to calculate the Lu family, but also the Rong family and the Lu family." ”
The two have known each other for many years and trust each other very much. Xie Yaoguang was naturally not afraid of Gu Qingzhi's words, so he simply told the truth.
Hearing Xie Yaoguang say this, Gu Qingzhi probably guessed what her calculation was, and couldn't help but look at Xie Yaoguang several times.
"Alas, you really have the legacy of Taifu in this regard. Is there anything you can help me with? ”
"It doesn't matter. It's not too early, so go back quickly! Xie Yaoguang knew that his friend was sincere, but the fact that he wanted to do it was too dangerous.
Gu Qingzhi shook her head helplessly and said goodbye to Xie Yaoguang.
Calculating that the time was almost the same, Xie Yaoguang set off to visit King Shou, and at this time, King Shou happened to come back from the next dynasty, and he couldn't help but be happy when he saw Xie Yaoguang King Shou.
"Look at the joy of the palace below, I think it must have met a good thing." Xie Yaoguang stretched out his body and said.
"Thanks to Miss Xie for giving this king an idea." King Shou is in a good mood today, and he can be called a spring breeze, and when he heard Xie Yaoguang say this, he couldn't help but say: "Then Lu Huan is innocent of death." ”
Xie Yaoguang smiled heavily when he heard this, hiding the sharpness of his eyes.
The two walked side by side on the bluestone road, turned the cloister pavilion and arrived at a secluded place. King Shou smiled and led Xie Yaoguang inside, and when he pushed the door, he saw that Jiang Huaixin was already waiting in the house.
Looking around, Xie Yaoguang's eyes slipped in surprise. There were neat rows of bookshelves in the room, and she could see a scroll of bamboo slips on them when she stood in her position, and after thinking about it, she could guess what this place was.
I can't imagine that King Shou has such trust in him, and even brought this kind of secret place with him, and it seems that he has to give King Shou a big gift.
"Miss Xie, do you think the Lu clan will make the next move?" Jiang Huaixin held the teacup and smiled at Xie Yaoguang.
Sniff and ask. Xie Yaoguang ignored him, raised his eyes and glanced at King Shou, and said, "Does Your Highness want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Seeing King Shou's head, Xie Yao's smile gradually faded, and he slowly tilted his lips: "Your Highness, don't you really think that one Lu Huan can damage the reputation of the Lu family, right?" ”
Xie Yaoguang's words were straightforward and sharp. But fortunately, in order to win people's hearts over the years, King Shou has always done a good job of following advice. Hearing this, he just smiled generously, as if he didn't mind Xie Yaoguang's behavior at all.
"Your Highness should know that Lu Huan is just the heir of the Lu clan. But even if he has a stigma, the emperor will not treat the Lu family because of this. Xie Yaoguang hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and a sneer appeared between his pupils: "It takes seven inches to fight a snake, and His Royal Highness not only did not hit the snake this time, but hit the grass and startled the snake, which made the Lu family have a defense." ”
At the end of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Huaixin looking at him several times, Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and did not hide the sneering on his face, holding the teacup, taking a sip of tea between his lips, patiently waiting for King Shou's next sentence. As she expected, King Shou's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at himself solemnly.
"Then what does Miss Xie think of this king?" King Shou couldn't help but sit upright and humbly ask.
"Since you have already struck the grass and startled the snake, Your Highness can rise to the top" Xie Yao's face was cold, and the words spit out by his lips and teeth only made people feel cold all over his body: "In the past, for fierce beasts, other beasts naturally did not dare to provoke, but what about seriously injured and dying beasts? The other beasts are afraid that they want to go up and get a piece of the pie. Your Highness, make the most of it."
Xie Yaoguang's voice was gentle, but it was like the ice and snow melting in the valley when spring came and winter receded, and it came out along the gurgling stream, especially with a chill. Especially the last four words smashed King Shou's heart, leaving a deep mark.
Eye waves are slightly condensed. King Shou's eyebrows furrowed deeper.
King Shou frowned, his lips twitched, and he asked in a deep voice: "Miss Xie means that this king wants to borrow a knife to kill people?"
"Your Highness is a wise man. Whose hand did you borrow to kill the Lu family, don't you need Yaoguang to mention it again? Xie Yaoguang softened his eyebrows and smiled lightly at King Shou: "The knife should be used on the blade." ”
Unlike the crown prince, King Shou is a very judgmental and thoughtful person. Xie Yaoguang only needs to dial him a little bit to grasp the stakes. Originally, because his subordinates pulled Lu Huan out to participate in the Lu family's book, he was picked up by Xie Yaoguang so little, and most of his excitement was poured in an instant.
