Chapter 265: Exploring Fiction and Reality
The emperor gave an order, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Cheng Ye's eyes looking at Cheng Mo, and there seemed to be a little dissatisfaction in it.
When I saw it like this, I realized more and more that it was Cheng Ye who did something, or rather, it was Cheng Ye who used Cheng Mo something.
Cheng Mo was also slightly surprised at this time.
Fang Cai saw what his father meant, so he wanted to be a favor, but he never thought that his father would change his mind again.
In this way, it seems that it is good that he doesn't say it, but when he opens his mouth like this, Lu Bingyan loses his official position.
Although the ministers of the Lu family have heard about it for a long time, in the end, His Majesty the Emperor has already spoken, and it is only a punishment that is degraded to the history of the book order and fined for half a year, so it is naturally difficult for others to say anything more.
Lu Bingyan got the "amnesty", so he hurriedly saluted and then turned his head and returned to the corner.
It's just that when he returned to his original place, the people around him looked at him with blank eyes.
In the past, although he was not a high-ranking official, he was valued in front of the emperor, and others naturally had to give three points to him, even these highnesses had to give him some face.
But now, even a petty official who didn't even look at himself at the beginning can turn a cold eye to himself.
The more Lu Bingyan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and he couldn't help but look at Chengye in another place.
If it weren't for the third prince, maybe Lu Guanlan would be able to marry the second prince smoothly in the future.
After the royal ceremony, when the second prince is established as a prince, Lu Guanlan will marry into the East Palace at this time, that is the crown princess, and in the future, that is, the queen.
Rao is he has indulged Lu Jingzhu these days, but now he feels that the only hope is Lu Guanlan.
As long as Lu Guanlan's phoenix life is in his body, even if the emperor doesn't like the Lu family, he has to take care of it.
Besides, in the previous incident, he let the news spread all over Beijing, and now everyone feels that Lu Guanlan has a phoenix life, and he wants to be the mother of the world.
By the way, Lu Guanlan's restoration of appearance has not yet been made public, and this time when he goes back, he will definitely think of a way to let the world know, and also let the emperor and the second prince know.
Thinking of this, Lu Bingyan immediately made up his mind.
As soon as Lu Bingyan's matter was dealt with, he suddenly heard someone report outside.
Everyone turned their heads, and saw a guard hurriedly running in, and after kneeling down in the main hall, they kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Deputy Lieutenant Zhang's team is almost on the outskirts of the city." ”
Hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly, raised his hand and said, "Got it." ”
The guard who had made the announcement bowed his head and retreated.
When Cheng Ye heard the report, his eyes couldn't help but flash.
Cheng Mo lowered his eyes slightly, as if he didn't hear the voice of the guard.
Actually······ Came back so soon······
I don't know if she will want to see Li Duan, and whether she will be sad and sad to see Li Duan's corpse.
The emperor didn't notice the different expressions of everyone in the hall at this moment, just distressed.
Li Duan's death is neither a bad thing nor a good thing for him.
For now, it is time to think about how to appease Li Guogong, who is far away on the border.
He still remembered that when Li Mu was killed in the past, he was still a not very calm emperor, and he was a little flustered at that time, and he was afraid that Li Guogong would be angry because of this, and then he would rebel.
Fortunately, in the end, he appeased the past, and Li Guogong did not pursue it, let alone blame him for resentment.
He didn't feel sorry, after all, for him, Li Mu was really damn in that situation at the beginning.
It's just that Li Guogong is still useful if he keeps it.
Compared with a young and vigorous general of the Zhenguo family, he would rather choose the old marshal who is loyal to the country.
After all, Li Guogong has been loyal for many years, and serving the country and the people is indispensable in his bones.
And Li Mu is different.
As Concubine Yun said, as long as Li Mu is willing, such a popular general, if there is a trace of dissatisfaction with the people in the court, the people will support him in the uprising.
At that time, with heavy troops in hand and military power in the hands of Li Mu, how can he compete with it.
Therefore, at that time, it was not so much that he wanted Li Mu's life, but that he had to ask for Li Mu's life, and it can be said that Li Mu forced him to take his own life at that time.
It is also because of this that he watched Li Duan grow up little by little, and he was a little worried day by day.
He was afraid that Li Duan would become the second Li Mu.
didn't think about it, Li Duan really became the second Li Mu.
He also thought about whether to move Li Duan, but sometimes he felt a trace of compassion.
Feeling that there was only one elderly Li Guogong and the young Li Duan left in the Guogong Mansion now, he gave up this idea earlier.
Now that Li Duan is dead, it can be regarded as getting rid of one of his henchmen.
It's just that after Li Mu's death, he could still leave Li Duan with such a consolation to Li Guogong.
Now that Li Duan is dead, there is nothing left in the Guogong Mansion.
The queen naturally will not have an heir, but fortunately, the queen has not been allowed to have an heir, otherwise at this time, the Li family should fully support the queen's son.
Over the years, he has been neither salty nor indifferent, has not given favors, and has not treated him completely coldly.
For him, letting the queen enter the palace was just to stabilize the throne.
He has no affection for the queen, let alone favor, and he doesn't want the Guogong Mansion to grow stronger in the future because of the queen's son.
So, he put medicine into the queen's diet early in the morning, in order to make the queen unable to get pregnant.
In order to contain the court, he sometimes had to sacrifice his future heirs.
After all, this world was fought hard by the ancestors, and he couldn't let this country change hands because of his weakness.
At this time, Cheng Mo suddenly said: "Father, Li Guogong has lost his son and now his grandson, such a big thing, it is better to repair the book first." ”
The emperor came back to his senses at this time, but his brows were still furrowed.
"With such a big blow, I am also afraid that Li Guogong will not be able to bear it in his old age," the emperor's tone suddenly became a little more worried.
Others seemed to be worried about Li Guogong's body, but Cheng Ye seemed to be too similar to his father, and immediately heard the worry in the emperor's tone, but he was worried that if Li Guogong knew about it, would he shout to return to Beijing.
The news of Li Du's death is all over Beijing, and it is easy to provoke other countries to move.
In addition, the current envoy of Xixing is still in Beijing, if he lets the head of Xixing know, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not go back to report the news.
And if Li Guogong is in a hurry to return to Beijing at this time, it will undoubtedly make the border army disheartened, and if the enemy country wants to move Dacheng at this time, it will endanger the border area.
Therefore, what the emperor is worried about has never been the pain of others losing their children and grandchildren, but his own country.
He also thought in the past that his father liked Chengmo and valued Chengmo very much.
But it wasn't until later that he realized that the so-called importance to Cheng Mo was only because of the destiny of Cheng Mo when he was born.
His father's favorite is probably his own country.
Or perhaps, after this country, there will be a place for his mother's concubine.
It's just that sometimes even he doesn't understand what his father likes about his mother.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little curious.
Over the years, what method did the mother concubine use to keep her father's heart?
If it weren't for the face of his mother, I'm afraid he would be even more disgusted by his father.
"The bereavement for the Guogong Mansion will be prepared by Lu Shuling," At this time, Cheng Mo suddenly spoke again.
Lu Bingyan easily settled down on the side, and before he could react for a while, the "Lu Shuling" in the mouth of the second prince was the one who was now degraded, and he just lowered his eyes and didn't speak.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Bingyan in the corner, "What does Lu Shuling think?" ”
Lu Bingyan still didn't realize that this was shouting to himself, and still hung his head and looked at the ground.
The emperor couldn't help frowning and coughed lightly, "Lu Shangshu!" ”
Lu Bingyan suddenly came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at the emperor in the upper seat.
At this time, there was a burst of laughter beside him, and someone even whispered: "Lord Lu is afraid that he has not yet adapted to it, and he feels that he is still Lord Shangshu, so he ignores the second prince and His Majesty." ”
Lu Bingyan's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and he took a few steps forward in a panic and knelt down in the hall.
"Your Majesty atoned for your sins, and the micro-ministers and micro-ministers were a little in a trance, Xu Yes······ Xu is ······"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Cheng Mo say: "Xu is Lord Lu has not recovered from the blow of Fang Cai, and the father does not need to blame too much, after all, Lord Lu has just been demoted, and now he is not only busy with the matter of the crown ceremony, but also has to work hard to appease the Guogong Mansion." ”
Cheng Ye is really a little puzzled by Cheng Mo's three or two times for Lu Bingyan today.
Fang Cai appeased Li Guogong too, and originally there was no need for someone from the Ministry of Rites to come and handle it, but Cheng Mo just mentioned Lu Bingyan.
Lu Bingyan has obviously just been demoted, but now he is still doing important things, which is undoubtedly telling others that what is being given to Lu Bingyan now is only a small punishment and a big warning, and it is a matter of time before the official is restored, so that people will not look down on Lu Bingyan.
So what Cheng Mo is doing today, is this what it means?
Fang Cai was wrong, what Cheng Mo meant today was just to please Lu Bingyan?
The emperor didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, he did have the intention of letting Lu Bingyan support Chengmo in the past.
Now although Lu Bingyan has lost his position as a scholar for a while, the foundation is still there, and he is still serving in the Ministry of Rites, but he has changed his name.
If Chengmo wants to win over, it is not impossible.
It's just ······ Lu Jingzhu's incident, the reputation of the Lu family has been ruined, and Lu Guanlan is afraid that at this time, it is no longer suitable to marry into the heavenly family.
This Lu Bingyan has been punished now, so - Cheng Ye ······ Is it really left unchecked?
Thinking of this, the emperor's gaze suddenly fell on Cheng Ye again.
After all, he caused the trouble, if Lu Jingzhu is really pregnant and pregnant with a wild child, then Lu Jingzhu's belly is also a child of the heavenly family.
If this matter is kept in private, the people he looks down on can not recognize it, after all, not everyone is qualified to be a descendant of the heavenly family.
But it happened that this matter was known all over Beijing, and he couldn't admit it even if he didn't want to.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly turned his head and whispered to Zhao Quan: "After going down to the court, you went to the Lu Mansion with Lu Bingyan, and said that you went to get Shang Shufu." ”
Lu Bingyan, who was demoted, naturally wanted to hand over Shangshu's official uniform, which was originally something that the palace officials did, but the emperor asked Zhao Quan to go today.
Zhao Quan also understood what the emperor meant, so he deliberately let himself explore the reality of the second miss of the Lu family.
When even bowed his head slightly, he whispered, "The slave understands." ”
