Chapter 71: Rectifying the Lu Family
Lu Qingjin, who was worried about the four concubines, was sick in bed, Xiao Ling walked in and handed her the medicine and said with some concern: "Niangniang, drink the medicine, it's almost upside down outside!" ”
Lu Qingjin took a sip of medicine and stuck out his tongue, and said helplessly: "I remember that the concubines didn't have trouble a few days ago, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Ling took the medicine bowl and opened the window, Lu Qingjin looked out of the window, and saw that everyone in the courtyard was like frightened birds, even the guards sent by the emperor walked cautiously, as if they were afraid that something would happen if the noise was loud.
Lu Qingjin rubbed his eyes and said in his heart I just slept for one night, and I don't know anyone in this palace.
Xiao Ling looked at her confused eyes and sighed: "It's all the emperor who has been losing his temper recently, not to mention the palace, now all the adults' mansions are cautious, who knows what will happen if the emperor is in a bad mood!" ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head with a smile and wanted to get up, but he really didn't have the strength on his body and lay back: "I remember that I was fine yesterday, and I sent a few guards over, what's wrong today?" ”
Xiao Ling picked up a handkerchief and wiped her sweat: "The slave doesn't know, but Gonggong Zhang handed over the news last night and said that the emperor was going to rectify the Lu family, and Niangniang had to send someone to take a look." ”
"What do I have to see, even if the emperor doesn't make a move, I won't let them go, now it's just to save my business, you don't have to worry about it, I'm resting for a while, you just pay attention to the news outside."
Xiao Ling agreed, carefully closed the doors and windows and went out.
When she went out, Lu Qingjin sighed, tucked the corner of the quilt and fell asleep, in the end, the foundation of the body was still not good, and she didn't even have the strength to get up when she got sick.
Unlike the calm on Lu Qingjin's side, Qin Zhao of the early dynasty attacked the courtiers almost indiscriminately.
Ji Chen watched Lu Qi pouted and took a few steps back as he watched Lu Qi speak out for the third time, as he expected, Qin Zhao became even more angry after hearing Lu Qi's words, and threw the fold in his hand directly into Lu Qi's face.
The ministers knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, and Lu Qi said unwillingly: "Your Majesty Mingjian! Lao Chen has a daughter now, how can she wait a few more years! ”
Qin Zhao said with a cold war: "Lord Lu is dissatisfied with my decision, you can know that King Wei is the hero of the founding of the country, and his son is naturally noble, whether your daughter can be worthy of it or not, why wait for it?" ”
Ji Chen thought to himself, you have messed up other people's marriages, how lacking in virtue is this! Now I can't even defend a few words, and I don't know why the queen still doesn't care!
Thinking so, he still had to support Qin Zhao, and walked out and said righteously: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the marriage of the prince of Wei is indeed not easy to be hasty, but Lord Lu also loves his daughter, so please ask the emperor to punish him lightly!" ”
The ministers kneeling at the bottom looked at each other, and said in their hearts that the emperor didn't say anything about punishment just now! Isn't this a provocation for the general!
Without waiting for them to react, Qin Zhao preemptively said: "What the general said is extremely true, then it depends on Lu Qi's hard work for many years, I just need to confiscate his family property!" ”
There was a gasp in the court, Lu Qi almost fainted, and pleaded with some regret with a sad face: "The minister knows that he is wrong!" I beg your majesty to show mercy! The minister's family still has to live! ”
Qin Zhao rubbed his ears, and said in his heart that this old thing's physical strength is not bad, and his voice is so loud, in the end, he is still worried about the power of King Wei, he pretended to be moved and said sincerely: "Lord Lu has been loyal to the country for many years, I really can't bear it!" Since Lord Lu feels sorry for his beloved daughter, it is better to give half of the family property to Lu Qingjin! It can be regarded as the whole of Lord Lu's thoughts a few days ago, and from now on, Lu Qingjin and Lu Qi will no longer have a father-daughter relationship! ”
Lu Qi took a few breaths and buckled his head a little weakly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
At this time, what do those adults still can't understand, it is clear that the emperor is angry with the queen! This Lu Qi didn't know what he had done, and they were terrified!
At the moment, Lu Qi's popularity was even worse, and after kneeling for a long time, his legs were numb, and no one helped him, but Ji Chen couldn't see it, and glanced at a deputy general beside him, and the deputy general stepped forward and lifted Lu Qi up unceremoniously.
Lu Qi was originally a thin Wenchen, and at the moment, the deputy general who was not five big and three thick was directly carrying his feet off the ground, but the deputy general was upright, and he leaned next to Lu Qi's flushed face and asked him if he was okay! Lu Qi struggled several times but couldn't come down.
Rao is Qin Zhao was in a bad mood and almost laughed, he waved his hand, and his voice was rarely gentle: "Since this is the case, this matter is so decided, after a while, someone will go to the Lu Mansion, and there is no need to say more about the rest, let's retreat from the dynasty today!" ”
The ministers saluted respectfully, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, the deputy general watched Ji Chen go out, and the emperor also left, threw Lu Qi in his hand on the ground and left without caring about it, and followed Ji Chen away.
Lu Qi patted his clothes and stood up without tears, now the Lu family is struggling, the marriage of the prince of Wei is gone, the emperor has already offended, and even the queen has nothing to do with them, thinking of this, he sighed as if he had aged several years all of a sudden, and slowly walked towards the outside of the palace.
As soon as Qin Zhao got down from the court, he saw that the table was full of food, he frowned and picked up the bowl helplessly: "Hasn't the queen said anything yet?" ”
Zhang Dequan looked at Qin Zhao's somewhat anxious appearance and sighed: "The queen mother invited the imperial doctor last night, and now she is resting, saying that she has a cold, and the slave thinks that there should be no time to invite you recently!" ”
Qin Zhao put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked a little anxiously, "Is she sick?" Why didn't anyone tell me! What do those minions eat? ”
Zhang Dequan hurriedly bowed his body: "Your Majesty is angry, it's not that the minions don't tell you, it's really that you were reprimanding the official at that time, and you said that you shouldn't bother you no matter what, so you missed it." ”
Qin Zhao coughed a little weakly, he was still worried in the end, and those chopsticks stopped after a few bites: "You go and tell the Tai Hospital to serve well, and send the purple ginseng I got a few days ago to the queen's palace." ”
Zhang Dequan really wanted to say that purple ginseng has no effect on the wind and cold, it is better for you to send things less and toss a few times, I am afraid that I will be half sick in the palace if I go down like this, in the end, I don't have the guts, he just agreed and went out.
Qin Zhao sighed and continued to eat, but he only felt tasteless in his mouth. After a while, I put down my chopsticks and picked them up again to fold.
