Chapter 38 Planning

The spring is bright and the scenery is just right. Because of that incident, Su Wan almost never came to the guest house, but Su Yu became more and more diligent, and from time to time conveyed some information to Xie Yaoguang for King Shou, waiting for a solution.

He came diligently, but Xie Yaoguang listened to it for a long time, and he inevitably felt bored, taking advantage of Su Yu's arrival in the court today, Xie Yaoguang took the Vermilion Bird out early to go out for spring.

The inner courtyard of Lanxing Tower actually has a cave. The verandah snaked like a snake on the water, and the grass grew below. Wisteria hangs down the eaves, and the wind blows the incense all over the ground. The sunlight lazily sprinkled on the bluestone floor, falling dappled light and shadow.

In the water pavilion, Xie Yaoguang leaned on the soft pillow and played alone, quite complacent because no one was chattering. According to Su Yu's information, King Shou has found some secret old news about the Lu family and is ready to attack him in the court today. Thinking of this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but hook his lips, and a trace of ridicule slipped under his eyes. Shou Wang he...... It's still too hasty.

"Master, Miss Gu is out asking to see you."

There was a maid's report from outside the door, Xie Yaoguang slightly twisted her eyebrows and tilted her lips and said, "Please let her in." ”

Gu Qingzhi saw Xie Yaoguang lazily leaning on the soft pillow, walked to her side and sat down, picked up the teacup and said, "Guess what happened to the court today?" ”

"King Shou's ginseng, the Lu family."

Holding an urn of tea, he twisted the Weng cover, and the fragrance of the tea spread along the water vapor on the couch.

"You do. When I listened to it, I wondered if it was your idea for King Shou. Gu Qingzhi's fingers twisted her thoughts for a moment and landed on the chessboard, and she gently hooked her lips and said, "Do you want to know what King Shou did?" ”

"You just tell me." Raising his hand, he put aside Gu Qingzhi's move of wanting to steal the chess pieces.

As Xie Yaoguang thought, King Shou's party did attack the Lu family today. There is no nonsense in the recital, and the words sharply point out that Shi Luhuan, the governor of Lu Jiashu, accepted bribes from businessmen, scraped the people's fat and ointment, and ran rampant in the township.

The people have jointly petitioned to severely punish Lu Huan and return Qingzhou to peace. Emperor Li was furious when he saw the excerpt, and immediately issued an order asking Yushitai to immediately send someone to Qingzhou to investigate Lu Huan.

"It's a pity for Lu Huan......" Seeing the chess pieces on the chessboard gradually entering a dead end, the corners of Xie Yao's lips hooked slightly: "It's a waste of such a talent." ”

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi looked at Xie Yaoguang with a puzzled face.

Xie Yaoguang slowly raised his lips, and his fingers twisted and broke through Gu Qingzhi's siege from a remote place: "He is a corrupt official but a good official, but King Shou only saw one side." ”

Lu Huan is a practical person. He has done a lot of things for the people in Qingzhou, channeling water conservancy, reclamation of salt fields, etc., and there are countless such achievements, and all such achievements have fallen on Wang Yongqi, the assassin of Qingzhou, and Wang Yongqi happens to be the person of King Shou. It is because the people of Qingzhou under his rule only remember the exploits of Wang Yongqi, the assassin, and only have the impression of Lu Huan as a corrupt official.

However, according to the information that Xie Yaoguang has, Lu Huan's embezzlement of ink over the years was all given to the people of Qingzhou, and he secretly paid for the resettlement of the people in the flood in Qingzhou a few years ago. However, these feats were still robbed by Wang Yongqi, just because Lu Huan had a greedy word that could never be washed away.

"I have a little impression of Lu Huan, he did a lot of things for the people when he first arrived. Why should he be greedy for these things? Gu Qingzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Xie Yaoguang with a puzzled expression.

"Qingzhi, do you say that it is easy to grab food from the tiger's mouth, or it is easy to eat it yourself and feed the people back to it." Xie Yaoguang seemed to think of something, and his face was slightly condensed and he couldn't help but sigh: "His path is right." ”

Gu Qingzhi was stunned. If you do the opposite, first eat yourself into a big rat, and then feed back to the people, it is just a bad reputation, but it really does the point. gambled on his reputation to return peace and tranquility to the people.

Lu Huan can do this, she is ashamed of herself. The honest person cultivates himself and protects his name, but he has not really done anything for the people, and although Lu Huan's Tao is stigmatized, he has never forgotten the people.

"There is only one way for him to return to Beijing now, and King Shou will not let him live for the sake of fighting the Lu clan." Xie Yaoguang picked up the tea, moistened his lips slightly, and smiled helplessly.

"Yaoyao, aren't you going to save him?"

"Even if I tried to save him, he wouldn't agree. He's got his own bones, and he doesn't have any proof that he's not greedy for ink, isn't he?"

From the moment Lu Huan decided to embark on this road, he knew very well what the outcome would be waiting for him once the incident happened.

"It's a pity for such a good officer." Gu Qingzhi shook her head and sighed, her eyes looking at the surface of the lake with layers of ripples.

She has been an official for several years, and she knows that the water in the court is by no means as calm as she imagined, and the undercurrent inside is turbulent, and if she is not careful, she will never recover. It happens to be such a chaotic environment, although the court is not unreasonable, but there are people in the court who have bad intentions, borrow the power in their hands to be greedy for ink, and frame countless innocent people, and His Majesty has to continue to appoint them for various reasons...... This is also the way of His Majesty.

For the monarch, he must not only use loyal ministers but also traitorous ministers, loyal ministers to seek affairs, and traitorous ministers to seek profits, so as to rule the world. And Lu Huan's way is the same, but he can only become a victim of political struggle.

Hooking his lips shallowly, Xie Yaoguang put down the teacup and fell: "It was my idea for King Shou." However, his method did not fall on the spot, and the emperor would not dislike the Lu family because of this. The Lu family will not have a bad reputation because of this matter. ”

"You calculate the longevity king?" As soon as the words fell, Gu Qingzhi raised her head and asked.

"He told me a few days ago that His Majesty intended to restore the Rong family, and I wondered if the Lu family had come forward." Xie Yaoguang looked left and right, and broke Gu Qingzhi's dilemma in the corner.

"Tsk, you're not wrong. I heard people say that the prince recently dreamed of Lu Hou and him, saying that it was the grace of the Rong family who took her to raise the prince, and she was unforgettable, and she only hoped that in the next life, she would repay this kindness. Gu Qingzhi raised her lips and sneered: "After that, the prince cried so much in front of His Majesty and invited the Lu family to intercede, and His Majesty relented and thought of restoring the throne for the Rong family." Your Majesty is still really infatuated. ”

"Infatuation? If he is really infatuated, how can he empathize with Aunt Yan after many years. Xie Yaoguang lifted his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Qingzhi laughed dumbly when she heard this. In terms of affection, Emperor Li is indeed not an infatuated lover, if he is really infatuated, he will not start to spoil Concubine Yan not long after the death of Empress Yuan, and he will love her very much. even almost moved Concubine Liyan's thoughts. If you want her to say that the reason why Emperor Li is so is nothing more than to establish a reputation in front of the people of the world and establish an image of a virtuous and virtuous monarch in front of the people.

"That's just as well. But this time, you can't move the Lu family, and King Nashou won't come back to trouble you?"

Will it? Xie Yaoguang's eyebrows bent, and a shallow smile appeared on his face. King Shou and the crown prince have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but because of the emperor's trade-offs, they are all right. However, this time, King Shou raised his knife to face the Lu family, undoubtedly with the intention that he would not let the Lu family leave the field safely.
