The person Lu Ning thought of was the elder brother of the new emperor today, Li Chengyi, the seventh prince with the best popularity in the court.

Emperor Wenzong's surname was Li and his name was Jitian.

He had sixteen sons.

This Li Chengyi is the seventh oldest among the princes.

During the reign of Emperor Wenzong, Li Chengyi won the praise of the ministers of the court and the central government, whether it was a man of martial arts or a person.

Therefore, Li Chengyi was once a popular candidate for the crown prince of the DPRK.

However, the emperor's heart, as deep as the sea, always makes people unable to see the end.

During the reign of Emperor Wenzong, he always praised and encouraged Li Chengyi.

But many ministers at that time didn't know that Emperor Wenzong had always hated those gangs and factions in the court.

Even if it's your own son, it's no exception!

Emperor Wenzong's mind was: This is my world. You are not loyal to me, but you are secretly forming gangs and factions for personal gain! You don't do a good job for me, all of you have selfish intentions, are you trying to overthrow me as an emperor?!

From this, it can be seen that Li Chengyi's good popularity in the court is the biggest reason why he cannot be elected as the crown prince.

There is something that others don't know, but this Lu Ning knows.

This Li Chengyi supports the new emperor on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is the most grassy person.

The eyeliner sent out by the Queen Mother Wu Jinyu is not a dry meal.

Speaking of this Lu Ning, he is also a "legend".

Lu Ning's family practiced martial arts from generation to generation, and also opened a medical hall.

Therefore, Lu Ning not only knows martial arts, but also understands medical skills.

Ten years ago, seventeen-year-old Lu Ning went to Shenzhen Prefecture, the state capital next door to Fuliang Prefecture, to participate in the township examination for the selection of martial artists.

That year, a once-in-a-millennium event happened.

Xiaode's father-in-law, who was far away in the capital, suddenly came to the scene to watch the selection.

And this little German father-in-law was originally fine, but there was nothing wrong.

I don't know what the reason is, after eating two bites of local specialty seafood refreshments, Xiaode's father-in-law suddenly fell to the ground.

The scene of the township test was suddenly frozen by the tense atmosphere.

Who in the officialdom doesn't know Xiaode's father-in-law?

He is the most relied on person of the Queen Mother today.

Wu Zhuangyuan's examination room is equipped with a doctor.

It's just that they are all doctors who are good at treating bruises.

Moreover, these two doctors are related households, and their medical skills are not proficient.

The two doctors took turns to check the pulse, and they were so nervous that they were sweating profusely, and they didn't find out why.

The capital is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for the imperial doctor to call it.

It will take more than half an hour for the best doctor in the city to arrive at the earliest.

Just when the officials in charge of the township test were so anxious that they were almost crying because they were afraid that they would lose their black hats and their homes would be raided, Lu Ning volunteered to stand up.

The officials in the examination room thought that there was no other way for the time being anyway, so it would be a dead horse to be a live horse doctor.

This Lu Ning's family has practiced martial arts for generations and opened a medical hall.

He can cure all kinds of problems.

Lu Ning checked the pulse of Xiaode's father-in-law, and immediately found the cause of the disease.

Lu Ningwen Zou Zou said: "Where evil is gathered, its qi will be empty." We are located here in the southernmost part, and the weather is humid at this time, and the body of Xiao De's father-in-law is not adaptable, and he is damp and hot in his body. ”

In fact, according to modern people, it is Xiaode Gonggong's water and soil adaptation and food allergies.

He took out the family heirloom all-purpose life-saving pill, Danshen Yulu Pill, and gave it to Xiaode's father-in-law.

With less than a pillar of incense, Xiaode's father-in-law woke up.

Because of this "destiny of God", Lu Ning successfully "got out of the circle".

Because of his "outstanding" medical skills and "exquisite" martial arts, he was recommended to the Empress Dowager Wu Jinyu by Xiaode's father-in-law.

Since then, Lu Ning has taken the through train of "brilliant career" and joined the "Shadow Office", a secret agent organization under the Queen Mother.

He became a secret agent.

His job is to secretly inspect the people's situation all over the country every quarter, and record the problems or situations he encounters in the book.

The booklet was handed over to the people in the secret liaison offices placed by the Queen Mother in various places, and directly sent to the hands of the prince of Xiaode in the palace.

Lu Ning's work was very easy, and there was basically no danger, until one day he was discovered by Xiaode's father-in-law, and their family actually had some relationship with Shifu.

Xiaode's father-in-law immediately reported to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother Wu Jinyu was happy when she heard it, God help me!

The mourning family just wants to win over the important ministers of the previous dynasty for my use!

Wu Jinyu naturally knew that this stubborn Shi Zhengying only had Emperor Wenzong in his heart, and he was no one except Emperor Wenzong.

She was very jealous of Shi Zhengying, but Shi Zhengying had the Shang Fang sword and the gold medal for avoiding death given by the previous emperor.

She can't move.

Since you can't move, why not woo it?

After Shi Zhengying resigned, he was secretly summoned by Emperor Wenzong.

Emperor Wenzong personally drafted the holy decree and handed it to Shi Zhengying.

He asked Shi Zhengying to collect the holy decree and arrange for him to hide somewhere in the capital, if the sixteenth son Li Chengliang successfully ascended the throne in the future, then Shi Zhengying would return to the dynasty with the holy decree to serve as the new emperor's concubine and minister to assist the new emperor.

If the sixteenth son Li Chengliang cannot successfully ascend the throne, then no matter what method Shi Zhengying uses, he must first protect the sixteenth son.

Therefore, Shi Zhengying knew that the crown prince appointed by Emperor Wenzong was actually the youngest sixteenth son, Li Chengliang.

Emperor Wenzong was very fond of Li Chengliang's mother, the virtuous concubine Xu Liping.

Concubine Xu Liping died suddenly when Li Chengliang was less than a year old.

This made Emperor Wenzong heartbroken.

At that time, Emperor Wenzong had already noticed the ambition of Concubine Wu Jinyu.

It's just that he pitied the fifteenth son Li Chengjian for being young, and Emperor Wenzong temporarily stood still.

Later, Emperor Wenzong suddenly fell ill and suffered from a strange disease, and the imperial doctors in the palace had no good prescription to treat him.

In order to protect the young sixteenth son Li Chengliang to ascend the throne smoothly, Emperor Wenzong suddenly issued a holy decree when he was dying, so that all the women in the harem who had been favored by him would be buried together.

It's just that Emperor Wenzong underestimated Wu Jinyu's ability.

Wu Jinyu's father, Wu Yingke, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, after years of unremitting secret efforts, successfully won over Huo Xiang, the general of the defenders of the capital.

Huo Xiang admires Wu Jinyu very much.

But later Wu Jinyu entered the palace.

Huo Xiang's sister was also the woman of Emperor Wenzong, but she died of illness not long after entering the palace.

This Huo Xiang's sister was really sick and died.

Huo Xiangming was honest on his face, but he had a set of thoughts in his heart.

He didn't believe that his sister was really sick and died.

His beloved sister died.

Now, the woman he loves is also going to the funeral.

Huo Xiang, who is honest and sincere on the outside, has long hated Emperor Wenzong under Wu Yingke's long-term public relations.

So when Emperor Wenzong was dying, Huo Xiang did not hesitate to lead his troops to attack the palace and completely control the palace.

Wu Jinyu became the queen mother.

The empress of Emperor Chinese and the women favored by the emperor were all killed.

And the sons and daughters of Emperor Wenzong, except for Li Chengyi, the seventh son of Emperor Wenzong, who was exquisite, were either killed and placed under house arrest or exiled.

As for the clansmen and cronies related to the above people, they were cleaned up by the personal soldiers sent by Huo Xiang.

Overnight, the capital was bleeding.

When the Empress Dowager Wu Jinyu asked Xiaode's father-in-law to read the emperor's edict, the crown prince became her Wu Jinyu's son, the fifteenth son Li Chengjian.

That's right!

This Lu Ning is the person who knelt on the floor of the harem Yangxin Garden late at night and shivered, and was ordered to be "executed" by the Empress Dowager Wu Jinyu because he failed to develop Shi Zhengying on the emperor's orders.

Wu Jinyu asked the guards with knives in his dormitory to "execute" Lu Ning.

After the guards took Lu Ning out of the palace with the Empress Dowager's secret edict, they told him: You have been removed from the "shadow office"! The Queen Mother values you! The Queen Mother deliberately let you "die", but she didn't really let you die, the Queen Mother asked you to pretend to "turn against you" in the palace first, and then approach Shi Zhengying in order to plan for the later stage. This is the last chance given to you by the Queen Mother, and you have to do a good job for the Queen Mother.

So, the first two big Lu Ning returned to his hometown Fuliang Prefecture with a sad face.

He originally knocked on the door of Shifu at night in order to hide people's eyes, but he accidentally met Li Tou'er and his group.

Lu Ning did owe gambling debts in the gambling house called "Lianlianzhuang", but the gambling debts were only ten taels.

The "Lianlianzhuang" gambling house is actually a secret liaison office installed by Wu Jinyu in Fuliang Prefecture.

Of course, gambling houses are also open to the public.

The owner of the gambling house, Sheng Kaikey, is the head of the liaison office.

Lu Ning and Sheng Kai Key have a good relationship.

He thought that the blooming key would be able to cooperate with him.

Sure enough, when Xiaoshan, the swordsman sent out by Li Tou'er, rode a high-headed horse and sent it to the gambling house with a silver ticket of five thousand taels, Sheng Kai Key immediately understood that something was wrong with Lu Ning.

Not only did he cooperate very tacitly, but he also secretly sent light masters to follow the hill all the way.

In this way, the "innocent" Xiaoshan exposed a secret stronghold of Li Chengyi in Changnan Town.

It turned out that Li Chengyi had always wanted to win over Shi Zhengying.

That's why he sent that Li Tou'er to lead people to secretly observe Shifu.

This Li Touer's name is Li Yu, and he is Li Chengyi's confidant.

He saw that Lu Ning and Shifu had such a "deep" relationship.

This Lu Ning seems to be greedy for money, so he has the idea of using Lu Ning to get close to Shifu.

Xiaoshan hurried back and informed Li Touer of the situation at the gambling house.

Li Tou'er saw that everything was right, so he was convinced of Lu Ning's words.

He sent someone to bring the news to Li Chengyi immediately.

Then this Li Touer and Lu Ning bowed to each other and called them brothers.

Wu Jinyu was pleasantly surprised after listening to Xiaode's father-in-law's "adventure" about Lu Ning.

She ordered Lu Ning and Sheng Kai Key to reward each with five hundred taels of silver, and asked Lu Ning to "cooperate well" with Li Chengyi's people, and at the same time ordered Sheng Kai Key to focus on monitoring Li Chengyi's secret stronghold in Changnan Town.

Lu Ning made a great contribution by mistake!

……

Changnan Town.

Qian Wenkai took Hu Jingtong in a carriage.

Hu Jingtong looked around through the window of the carriage.

Today she is dressed more elegantly.

This was prepared for her by Xu Yikao (funded by Qian Liangdong).

Xu Yikao said that she was going to the town to see the world, and she couldn't dress too shably.

Hu Jingtong looked down at his light blue straight-necked placket with narrow sleeves and a white long skirt, and said in his heart: I finally put on a popular costume today.

Qian Wenkai has never seen Hu Jingtong dressed up like this.

Therefore, when Hu Jingtong appeared in front of him, the beat of his heart was chaotic again.

They placed the wagon in a rice shop in the town of Qianjia.

After the two of them finished buying books at the bookstore, they went directly to the "Forest of Goodness" pharmacy.

Hu Jingtong couldn't wait to run into the pharmacy.

Qian Wenkai followed.
