"True or not, I think it will be decided soon," Cheng Mo suddenly said at this time.

Cheng Ye came back to his senses and looked at Cheng Mo with a frown.

Cheng Mo has always been a person who can't say much about such things, why does he seem to be deliberately competing with him today?

Could it be that he was overthinking?

Cheng Hao heard Cheng Mo's words, but he felt as if there was some metaphor, he also frowned, turned his head and asked Cheng Mo, "What does the second brother mean by this?" ”

Cheng Mo didn't say anything, just smiled, and turned his head not to look at the two.

Cheng Hao was a little inexplicable, but he didn't say anything, and when he turned around, he just snorted lightly when he saw Cheng Ye, and then walked to the side and stood still, ignoring no one.

Cheng Ye kept looking at Cheng Mo.

For some reason, he always felt that his second emperor brother had changed, and it became a little incomprehensible.

In the past, I still felt that this person was far away from the government and the opposition, and the scheming city was naturally inferior to himself, and there was a mother concubine who was also not involved in world affairs, so he could not be compared with him.

So, he had already planned everything, whether it was to let the courtiers get close to Cheng Mo, or to let Cheng Mo send the woman he had carefully selected and prepared last night, all in order to make what he planned go smoothly and smoothly.

But when he saw it today, he felt that Chengmo didn't seem to be as stupid as he imagined.

Maybe when he asked to marry Lu Guanlan, Cheng Mo was not sincere.

Maybe it's the same mind as yourself.

If this is the case, then the woman he sent will become the best chess in his hand.

At this time, I heard the internal officials report that the emperor was coming.

Everyone knelt down and waited for the emperor to come in from the side hall.

The emperor walked very slowly, and when he walked to the dragon chair and sat down, his eyes caught a glimpse of Narino.

Seeing Cheng Ye standing with Cheng Mo, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

What is this third highness of his going to do?

Cheng Mo has always been a scheming person in his heart, if he is in the same place as Cheng Ye, then Cheng Ye doesn't know what he is planning.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

The civil and military officials shouted in unison.

"Get up," the Emperor said in a light tone.

Then everyone got up one after another.

Lu Bingyan used to stand not far from the dragon chair, but today he is far away, and he can't hide in the corner from being seen.

The emperor's gaze swept around, and when he caught a glimpse of Lu Bingyan in the corner, he spoke: "Lu Shangshu." ”

The emperor mentioned Lu Bingyan as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone in the court naturally knew what had happened recently. I have heard everything I should have heard, and today the emperor spoke, estimating that this Lu Shangshu is not far from being dismissed.

Lu Bingyan was full of excitement, trembling from the back of the person to the front of the person, and bowed his head towards the emperor, "Weichen is here." ”

The emperor had a kind smile on his face, as if he had not come to ask for sin.

"The royal ceremony and the New Year are approaching, Lu Shangshu can be said to have worked hard," the emperor's tone was still faint, and he couldn't tell whether it was praise or depreciation.

Lu Bingyan smiled, "Your Majesty is serious, this is just a matter of Weichen's business, how can it be worthy of the sentence 'hard work and high achievement'." ”

The emperor sneered in his heart, this Lu Bingyan is worthy of being a favorite minister who has been by his side for a long time, and his ability to speak is not inferior.

"Lu Aiqing is modest, this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who doesn't know that you Lu Shangshu deserves to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, whether it is dealing with people or teaching etiquette, Lu Shangshu can be described as a saint in the world," the emperor said, but the smile on his face suddenly sank.

Anyone can hear that he is sarcastic Lu Bingyan, and many people in the court can't help but laugh in their hearts.

It is really rare for this emperor to squeeze a minister like this in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Of course, Lu Bingyan also knows that many people in the DPRK and China are also watching jokes.

But this kind of thing happened to his family, and fortunately it happened to involve the emperor's heirs, how could he not let the emperor get angry.

If it's just getting angry and sarcastic, it's just a few words of sarcasm, but if it's really unhappy to remove him, then who will he find to reason.

Thinking of this, the sweat on Lu Bingyan's forehead came down.

In this original cold winter, although the hall is not cold, it will not cause sweat.

Lu Bingyan was sweating with his palms behind his back at this time, and he was also panicked in his heart.

The emperor looked at Lu Bingyan without reacting, frowned, and sighed in his heart.

After all, it's a useless one.

He didn't make it clear today, but he was giving Lu Bingyan a chance.

It was natural for him to resign from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but now he can't find anyone who can replace Lu Bingyan, so the affairs of the Ministry of Rites have to be managed by him Lu Bingyan.

It's just that this matter has spread too widely, and he naturally doesn't allow anyone to question the royal power, so the best way is for him to say a few words to Lu Bingyan, and Lu Bingyan is interested in it and takes the initiative to resign.

Since he has mentioned the matter of sealing the king today, he is also telling everyone that Lu Bingyan has also been meritorious in these days.

In this way, he degraded Lu Bingyan as a squire at most, and when the position of Shangshu was vacant, he could let Lu Bingyan temporarily replace Shangshu.

That's a great joy for all.

But Lu Bingyan, the elm head, stubbornly guarded his official position and didn't speak, could it be that he, the emperor, had to mention it?

If he mentions it, then Lu Bingyan will not be as simple as being reduced to a squire.

Cheng Ye saw what the emperor meant at this time, but he was in the middle of the situation, if he spoke for Lu Bingyan at this moment, it would be adding fuel to the fire.

I also felt that my father had no intention of disposing of him in this matter, and maybe he would have to deal with Lu Bingyan.

Now it seems that the father and emperor also gave Lu Bingyan a ray of life, which shows that Lu Bingyan still has something worth using.

In the past, he didn't understand why his father had to value Lu Bingyan so much.

However, a book of etiquette is a scholar, and he knows some romantic poems and songs on weekdays, but his father can't just because of this, he regards Lu Bingyan as a confidant, so he favors Lu Bingyan.

Now I understand that what my father values has never been Lu Bingyan's so-called talent.

A person like Lu Bingyan will not stand on anyone's side, he is only loyal to the emperor and only relies on the emperor, and he is an excellent kind of person by the emperor's side.

The ministers next to him may be busy choosing another lord when the emperor is old.

But Lu Bingyan may not be necessarily, Lu Bingyan may guard the old emperor to death, and then wait until the next emperor ascends the throne, and then stand by the next emperor's side.

In short, whoever is the emperor, Lu Bingyan will listen to whomever he says.

And before getting the supreme position, Lu Bingyan will never be involved in anything, nor will he involve anyone.

The emperor was angry and annoyed this time, probably because Lu Bingyan was involved with someone else for the first time, and it was still the prince next to him.

But Rao is Chengye saw it thoroughly and understood, but Lu Bingyan was so frightened that he didn't dare to think about it, and only thought about what the emperor would do with him next.

Cheng Mo watched quietly from the side, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Cheng Ye looking at Lu Bingyan with a worried face.

He suddenly smiled in his heart, and then slowly walked out of the crowd and came to the emperor.

"Father," Cheng Mo bowed.

The emperor was staring at Lu Bingyan and didn't notice Cheng Mo walking out.

At this time, I heard Cheng Mo's voice, and when I turned my head to look at it, I was quite surprised.

Facing everyone's puzzled and inquiring eyes, Cheng Mo spoke: "Erchen thinks that Lu Shangshu has indeed contributed to the king's ceremony, and he has indeed worked hard for a long time, and it is really inappropriate to dispose of Lu Shangshu in this way for some rumors among the people." After all, some things are not exactly what people say. Those who are clear are self-purifying, presumably whether it is Lu Shangshu or others, they will not take it to heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor was also stunned.

Cheng Ye didn't expect that Cheng Mo had taken the wrong medicine today, and he would help the courtiers speak for the first time.

Lu Bingyan also turned his head to look at Cheng Mo with a stunned face, looking at Cheng Mo's calm face, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, as far as he was concerned, it was just a trivial thing to mention casually.

Cheng Mo just looked at the emperor quietly.

Just now he also saw what the emperor meant, and knew that the emperor didn't really want to move Lu Bingyan, since this is the case, he might as well fulfill the emperor, and he also fulfilled Chengye, naturally, he also fulfilled Lu Bingyan.

Although he did not feel anything about Lu Bingyan, he was Lu Guanlan's father in the end.

If there is Lu Bingyan's support, coupled with all that he has done, he believes that it is only a matter of time before he can get her heart.

The emperor really wanted to punish Lu Bingyan a little, but he didn't expect Cheng Mo to come out to help speak, and once lowered Lu Bingyan's mistakes to erase them.

He really didn't want to really move Lu Bingyan.

After all, the left and right ministers of the DPRK and China still need a pure minister to contain them, and Lu Bingyan is the best candidate by his side.

Although the left and right sides are not close to the dynasty now, and only the book is written to him, but in the end, the family is deeply rooted and cannot be controlled overnight.

This has been used by Lu Bingyan for many years, and if he wants to discard it, he is naturally very reluctant.

raised his eyes to look at Cheng Mo again, and saw Cheng Mo looking at himself calmly and calmly.

He suddenly thought that Cheng Ye was beside Cheng Mo.

Could it be that this is not Cheng Mo's idea, but Cheng Ye asked him to do it?

Thinking about it this way, the emperor also felt that it made sense.

After all, according to Cheng Mo's temper, he would not participate in such a thing, let alone say a word for any courtier.

Only Cheng Ye, the ambition of a wolf, will do such a thing.

Thinking like this, the emperor's gaze involuntarily fell on Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye also saw the emperor's eyes looking at him, and his heart was also shocked.

Suddenly it was not good.

"What happened to Lu Shangshu, I don't say it, it doesn't mean I don't know. Since he is not worthy of the title of the Ministry of Rites, there is no need to stay in this position. It's just that the second prince is right, Lord Lu has indeed done a lot of things, and when he thinks of his merits, he will go to the Ministry of Rites to make a history of the order. The post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites is vacant, and Lu Shuling is still a temporary matter, and it will be ······ again." The emperor said, retracted his gaze, and looked at Lu Bingyan again, "Punish me for half a year." ”

When Lu Bingyan heard this, his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

didn't kick him out of the capital, didn't let his family suffer anything, just demoted, which is already a great favor.

Cheng Ye's gaze moved to Cheng Mo at this moment.

Seeing that the emperor was about to let go, why did he suddenly change his mind.

Could it be that Cheng Mo is speaking for another purpose?
