"Whoever becomes the king loses, who is already out. Old lady, why are you mentioning it? Xie Yaoguang's eyes wandered, and he rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "The old lady is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and she should know better than me what it means to temporarily avoid the edge." If you go far, you will have a chance to get a piece of the pie in the future, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Lingshan couldn't help but look sideways and looked at Xie Yaoguang seriously for a while. couldn't help but recall the scene when I saw Xie Yaoguang for the first time, and thought that Xie Yaoguang was just a person who was a little smart and opportunistic. Now that I think about it, I really saw the wrong person, where is she a wild fox in the mountains, she is clearly a beast entrenched in the forest.

"You don't look like Qin Yan taught you, but like an old friend of mine......" Lu Lingshan shook his head and sighed, and the sleeves of his robe trembled slightly with his movements.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang didn't answer, but just stared at Lu Lingshan coldly. suddenly recalled what Su Qing said when he was in prison, and began to wonder if the Lu family had been involved in the family change.

"That's what Marquis Li said that day, saying that I don't look like an apprentice taught by my master." After pondering for a while, Xie Yaoguang looked at Lu Lingshan, "I don't know who I look like in your mouth?"

Looking at Xie Yaoguang sideways for a while, Lu Lingshan's tone was quite emotional, "I didn't expect you to know Li Qi." But it's no wonder that he was also one of my old man's students. ”

"There is still Su Qinglin among the students, right? The three brothers in the same sect have different circumstances, which is really emotional. Master Lu, after a long time of rounding around, you should also talk about the purpose of coming to me, right? After Lu Lingshan glanced at him, Xie Yaoguang raised his head and sneered.

Lightweight, Xie Yao smiled on his face, but in Lu Lingshan's eyes, he was like a snake and scorpion.

"There is one thing that still puzzles the old man." Lu Lingshan asked in a deep voice, "With your mental means, I'm afraid that the person you chose from the beginning is not King Shou, right?" On the surface, King Shou has you as a strategist, but in fact, he has never gained any benefits in the struggle with the prince. Who did you choose?"

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang suddenly smiled, and said softly: "Actually, old lady, you had a guess early in the morning, didn't you?"

"It can only be that one now." Speaking of this, Lu Lingshan couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes. I'm afraid that until now, no one has thought that the most inconspicuous existence will ultimately profit from the chaos in Beijing.

As Lu Lingshan guessed, Xie Yaoguang did choose the existence that everyone didn't expect from the beginning.

In fact, Ye Linchen's situation over the years, Xie Yaoguang is more or less clear. Asked to leave Beijing, he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict in Yanmen, and he was willing to exile himself for 12 years in order to keep his heart.

In the past twelve years, he has been far away from the capital, not to mention that he has no connections in the three provinces and six departments, but I am afraid that many people in the capital regard Ye Linchen as an outcast. If it weren't for the inference from the current situation, who would have thought that Ye Linchen would be the one who took advantage of the profits?

Unlike the crown prince and King Shou, Ye Linchen, who is also the prince, does not have the support of the prominent maternal family, and his current status is all earned by military exploits. What's more, because of His Majesty's estrangement from this son back then, Lu Lingshan has always seen it in his eyes. The emperor is now supporting Ye Linchen, but he doesn't want to watch King Shou dominate the family.

"Compared with the crown prince and King Shou, King Ding is the person who should be in that position the most. Isn't it? Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and smiled.

The crown prince is not suitable for this throne, because he lost his mother when he was young, although he is the eldest son, he is not treated by the emperor. Moreover, under the upbringing of the Rong family, the prince was ruthless and inferior, that is, he had no parents to love him, and even his grandfather Lu family had been watching from the sidelines.

With the prince's temperament, if he ascends the throne once he ascends the throne, he is afraid that the first one will deal with the Lu family and use it to establish power. What's more, the prince has no means to be a monarch, some are just suspicions, and there is even an ambitious Su family behind him.

As for King Shou, although he has Empress Xu to help the emperor, he also has the means to be the king, but he acts too ruthlessly, which is not the blessing of the people.

After looking at Xie Yaoguang for a while, Lu Lingshanguchi's tone was complicated, "You are very clear." Since you entered Beijing, I'm afraid that everything is under your control, right? ”

"The old lady laughed, I am not an immortal, how can I make a plan for everything. It's just that I'll always have more thoughts than they do. Regarding Lu Lingshan's implicit sarcastic words, Xie Yaoguang was not annoyed and raised his lips and smiled, and his eyes were also full of smiles.

"So far, I only want to ask you one thing, whether the destruction of the embankment was used by you to sacrifice King Jishou to murder the prince." Lu Lingshan's eyes swept over Xie Yaoguang and said in a deep voice: "And whether the satisfaction that disappeared for no reason is in your hands." ”

Picking up the tea that was already cold, Xie Yaoguang slowly tilted his lips and said, "Old lady, these are two questions. Although I consider myself ruthless, I have not yet reached the point where I will use people's lives as a chess game to frame my opponents. This matter was a sin left by Zhang Qin back then, and King Shou learned about it and used it on the prince. As for satisfaction, he is a threat to King Shou, it is not safe to put it in the Lu family, and it is the safest to let me go. ”

Hearing this, Lu Lingshan showed some regret on his face. Although for various reasons, he has basically ignored this grandson over the years, but after all, he is still his favorite daughter, and it is a pity that he is now degraded. If he had taken more care of the prince at the beginning, he might not have fallen to the point he is today.

Later, because of the Rong family and Lu Huan, the Lu family was involved in the party dispute. At that time, because of Xie Yaoguang's words, he understood the emperor's thoughts, and finally chose to abandon the prince in order to keep the two parties. Only then did King Shou only have the Su family available, and finally fell into the trap step by step.

It has come to this point, and there is no other way but remorse. But as long as King Shou does not arrive for a day, he will not be at ease. Even if Xie Yaoguang contributed a lot to the matter of fighting the crown prince, in his opinion, he still had to pull King Shou down to vent his anger.

"Miss Xie, you don't want to watch King Shou sit big, right? Although my Lu family has withdrawn from the court, they still have some connections after so many years of operation. After going around, the topic finally returned to the most fundamental purpose of Lu Lingshan's trip. After saying this, Lu Lingshan had a hint of determination on his face.

"Old lady, what do you mean by this? You are the grandfather of the crown prince, why would you come to help the king ascend the throne. I thought you should expose me in front of King Shou. With a laugh, Xie Yaoguang stared at Lu Lingshan coldly, and his tone was so cold, "I really can't believe your words." ”

Xu is mouth was dry, Lu Lingshan raised his lips and said coldly after holding the tea and drinking: "The prince will have the end of now, and he can't complain about others." Even if he didn't have you, he would just be a prince for a few more years, and he might not be able to save his life in the end. The old man now has nothing else to ask for, he just wants to pull King Shou off the horse, and you are the only one who can do this in the world. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang looked at Lu Lingshan with a complicated expression for a while, but still didn't speak. She saw fatigue and remorse in the face of this old lady who had gone through three dynasties, either regretting that she had sent her daughter to the palace and her daughter died of illness, or regretting that these alienation from the prince caused the prince to be cultivated into such a character, and was finally rejected by the emperor.

"Since the old lady has spoken like this, how can I not let you get what you want? Old lady, rest assured, I swear to you that King Shou will never have the opportunity to ascend to that position. Xie Yaoguang smiled.

She never thought that she could actually get help from the Lu family. originally thought that after the crown prince was deposed, the Lu family would be somewhat resentful of themselves, but they didn't expect that Lu Lingshan finally chose to form an alliance with himself to eradicate King Shou in order to avenge the prince.

After hearing this, Lu Lingshan showed a slight smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Since you are Qin Yan's apprentice, Qin Yan knows how he was in the past, and he naturally trusts you." There is no need for this vow, I just hope that you can fulfill your wish as soon as possible. After saying that, he smiled, looked at Xie Yaoguang and said, "Qin Yan has always had excellent vision, and His Royal Highness will be a good emperor." ”

The words fell to the ears, and Xie Yaoguang did not answer. She didn't want to explain that Lu Lingshan mistakenly thought that she was entrusted by Qin Yan to come to the capital to assist Ye Linchen in participating in the succession. After all, the most fundamental purpose for her is not to let people know the best, not to mention that from the beginning, she originally planned to pave the way for herself in the name of Qin Yan.

Seeing that Xie Yaoguang didn't reply for a long time, Lu Lingshan didn't say anything. Anyway, now that the interests of the two are the same, it is naturally impossible to have any suspicions. The connections that Xie Yaoguang wants in the court, the Lu family will do their best to provide it, just to be able to bring down King Shou.

At this point in the conversation, Lu Lingshan immediately resigned to Xie Yaoguang. Just as he was about to walk out of the main hall.

Looking at his slightly rickety back, Xie Yaoguang's eyes flickered and asked in a deep voice: "Old lady, the family teacher dragged me to ask you a word." He wants to ask you if you have regretted what you did over the years?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Lingshan stagnantly turned his head and looked at Xie Yaoguang with a complicated expression, and he didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he sighed with his eyes in his eyes, and his lips were still silent.

"Haven't you dreamed of the old people all these years?" Seeing that Lu Lingshan didn't speak for a long time, Xie Yaoguang closed his eyes and couldn't help but continue to ask: "Why did you ...... back then?"

"After so many years, Qin Yan is still here? It's no wonder that person treats Qin Yan like a parent, and how can he easily forget the grace of nurturing. Alas...... As for the incident back then, I and that person have different positions, so why do we regret it? People should have their own desires, he fights against the family for the world, I give up my feelings for the family, there is no right or wrong between us, only the same way. Please tell Qin Yan that the old man is speechless and naturally does not ask to see each other in his dreams. After saying this, Lu Lingshan couldn't hide the pain and self-blame in his eyes.

After hearing the answer he wanted, Xie Yao narrowed his eyes and laughed. As she expected, the Lu family did participate in the plan to destroy the Xie family. Taking the emperor's mind as the starting point, under the leadership of Qi Wuyin, he united with other families to carry out a chess game to destroy the Gu family.

In this chess game, everything is interlocking, and every step is killed.

At this point, Xie Yaoguang finally understood why his grandfather would calmly face the family changes, but he was afraid that his grandfather knew from early on that these people had united and woven a huge net on the Gu family's head, and when the time was ripe, the net was closed and strangled.

Today's question did not come from Qin Yan, but Xie Yaoguang asked for an explanation of his inner confusion in the name of Qin Yan. The answer was that what she imagined was different. Lu Lingshan said very right, since the two have different positions, why should they regret it, the Gu family died for the festival, the Lu family existed for the name, and the desire in each other's hearts has reached the current consequence.

People are not too supreme, who can forget their feelings and give up their desires.

As it recedes, the afterglow of the setting sun leaves dappled light and shadow on the ground through the gaps between the windows and the columns, cascading on top of each other as if an invisible barrier separates everything, and all around is the sound of the wind blowing the bells on the eaves.

When Xie Yaoguang looked at the mottled light and shadow on the ground, she rarely showed fear and doubt in her eyes, but she couldn't help but reach out to catch the jumping light in front of her. It took a long time to retract his wandering thoughts, but he didn't expect that it would be almost a year since he entered Beijing in a blink of an eye.

She has done too many things in the past year, and she has also calculated too many people in it. If she regrets it, she will not regret it. After all, everything she planned and planned from beginning to end was for the long-cherished wish in her heart, and it was also for those innocent people to redress their grievances.

Rolled up his sleeves and walked to the inner courtyard, even if he has the secret support of the Lu family now, there are still many things that cannot be taken lightly. After all, King Shou is also a poisonous snake...... Those who are targeted by him will have a good end.

Thinking of this, she looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and her eyes showed that everything had just begun, and the real drama was yet to come.
