Chapter 170: Topic Characters
"Your Majesty, this matter is clearly planned by His Royal Highness the Murderous King, maybe he is trying to clear his suspicions." Wang Yong really lived up to expectations, and as soon as he left the Criminal Department, he came towards Emperor Liang Qin's bedroom.
Emperor Liang Qin was also very embarrassed at this time, he had been afraid of Gu Huanli's power all these years, and he did not dare to confront him head-on.
At present, it is difficult to find an opportunity, maybe the real power in Gu Huanli's hands can be weakened, but he will crack it again.
But in front of the commander of Xichang, Emperor Liang Qin always didn't want to directly express the dislike between their brothers, so he pretended to be innocent and comforted Wang Yong.
"Now that the Criminal Department has traced the whereabouts of Quinine and caught the real culprit, it can be regarded as saving the West Factory, Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Emperor Liang Qin said.
But where is these things in Wang Yong's heart?
Everyone in the DPRK and China knows that the Criminal Department and the West Factory have always been independent, and this time the case that originally belonged to the West Factory was cut off by the Criminal Department halfway, if it reached the ears of the civil and military officials, wouldn't it be to laugh at Wang Yong, the commander of the West Factory, for being incompetent?
Thinking of this, Wang Yong felt resentful in his heart, and he was bent on asking Emperor Liang Qin for an explanation.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Murderous King really connived at that Lu Xuan under him, why did she oppose my Xichang?" Seeing that Gu Huanli couldn't fight, Wang Yong vented all his anger on Lu Xuan.
In this way, Emperor Liang Qin did have a lot of opinions about Lu Xuan in his heart.
Although he couldn't solve Gu Huanli for Wang Yong, it was still within his ability to punish a Lu Xuan.
Thinking of this, Emperor Liang Qin immediately pretended to be angry: "This Lu Xuan is indeed bold and reckless, and he has made trespasses several times, which is really a big trouble for my henchmen." ”
Seeing that Emperor Liang Qin was a little shaken by what he said, Wang Yong hurriedly followed his words: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Lu Xuan is not qualified to serve as the envoy of the Criminal Department. ”
Wang Yong's words were to take this opportunity to belittle Lu Xuan, so that she could understand the fate of offending Xichang.
But Emperor Liang Qin's heart was a different calculation - for a long time, Gu Huanli had repeatedly opposed the imperial court, which embarrassed Emperor Liang Qin in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
Thinking about it, before Lu Xuan appeared, he didn't seem to be so unrestrained, and everything seemed to change after Lu Xuan appeared.
Thinking about it like this, Emperor Liang Qin began to unconsciously associate Gu Huanli's lack of people in his eyes with Lu Xuan's appearance.
In ancient times, there were often examples of the royal family being troubled by people, and then brothers turned against each other, and Emperor Liang Qin undoubtedly regarded Lu Xuan as a person who rebelled against Gu Huanli at this time.
Therefore, Gu Huanli could not be punished immediately, but Emperor Liang Qin never wanted to leave Lu Xuan by Gu Huanli's side anymore.
Thinking of this, Emperor Liang Qin immediately spoke to Wang Yong: "Lu Xuan is indeed rampant under the hands of the fierce king, and I want to transfer her back to the household department and hand her over to Chen Aiqing for training." ”
Although such a decision was not what Wang Yong wanted, it was a good result for him to lose Gu Huanli's backer.
Wang Yong nodded at this time, and reluctantly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Liang Qin hesitated a little, hesitated for a while before speaking to Wang Yong again, with a hint of temptation and pleading in his words.
"It's just that I am the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and I personally come forward to punish a small festival order to make it unavoidable, so I still need Aiqing's help tomorrow morning."
Emperor Liang Qin clearly wanted to hand over the responsibility of impeaching Lu Xuan to Wang Yong, but Wang Yong naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
At that time, Lu Xuan had just found out about the quinine, handed over the deputy envoy of the trial of the Tai Hospital and others to the Criminal Department, and returned to the Lu Mansion exhausted.
Rong Li had been waiting for Lu Xuan in the Lu Mansion for a whole day, and finally saw her at the door, he hurriedly pushed his wheelchair forward to meet him: "Ah Xuan is back, can the matter be handled smoothly?" ”
Lu Xuan nodded: "It's been solved, it's just so late, why is my cousin still here?" ”
Rong Lily raised his lips and smiled, but he didn't answer, only comforted Lu Xuan and said, "It's good that the matter is settled." ”
was comforted by Rong Li, but Lu Xuan did not have a trace of joy in his heart, but hung his head and said: "Today's matter is all thanks to His Royal Highness the County Lord, and she was involved in it plainly." ”
"County Lord? The one who came to the house this morning? Rong Lily asked in surprise, and Lu Xuan nodded obediently.
He couldn't help but have a suspicion in his heart, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Ah Xuan, forgive me for talking too much, I always feel that the county lord seems to have unusual feelings for you. ”
"What?" Lu Xuan was stunned when she heard this, if she didn't guess wrong, the kind of unusual feelings that Shen Xixu said about her was the love between men and women?
Lu Xuan was guessing like this while staring intently at Rong Li, the worry in his eyes made her even more convinced of the conjecture in her heart.
Originally, he was still full of surprise, but at this time, Lu Xuan was so amused by the lie that he couldn't cry or laugh.
"Cousin, it's too much, but the only daughter of the eldest princess, how can she fall in love with me as a petty official?" The more Lu Xuan spoke, the more he felt that this was ridiculous.
Not to mention her identity, even her daughter's body must be absolutely unacceptable to Shen Xixu, so Lu Xuan never thought about this kind of thing in her heart.
But the worried look on his face never subsided, and he couldn't tell where his worries came from.
Logically speaking, if Lu Xuan can really marry the only daughter of the eldest princess, as the new mistress of the Lu family, the power of the Yan branch will inevitably grow stronger because of this, and he has lived in the Lu Mansion for many years, so he should be happy about it.
But at this time, in addition to worry, he felt an indescribable boredom in his heart, as if he felt that someone was going to snatch Lu Xuan away from him soon.
Thinking of this, Rong Liao began to be trapped in his heart again by the courtesy, righteousness and shame that he had been exposed to since childhood.
Compared with Shen Xixu's special feelings for Lu Xuan, his own thoughts about Lu Xuan really made him feel disgusted.
"Cousin, cousin?" Seeing that Rong was lying in a trance, Lu Xuan casually shouted at him twice.
Only then did he come back to his senses and try to regain his composure, and then reminded Lu Xuan:
"I just think that the county lord seems to be quite concerned about your affairs, if you have no intention of others, it is better to refuse as soon as possible, so as not to attract death."
Rong Li's words sounded magnificently, and Lu Xuan didn't doubt it for a while, and thanked him with a smile for the reminder.
"It's not early, I'm tired after a long day, so I'll send my cousin back to the room to rest first." Lu Xuan walked behind Rong Li, and didn't care what he said, so he sent him back to the other garden.
This night, thinking of the two Xichang guards who were killed by Qin Wei on the edge of the Li River, Lu Xuan always felt uneasy in his heart.
Originally, she just wanted to signal Qin Wei to lead the two of them aside for the time being, as long as it didn't affect her to continue investigating the case.
didn't think that Qin Xiao would be wrong, and without saying a word, he solved the two on the spot.
Lu Xuan has never hurt innocent people, although the two of them did not die at her hands this time, they have a lot to do with her, so she still can't help but feel guilty.
Even when he was worried about others, Lu Xuan didn't know that a storm was coming towards him.
The next morning, the squire of the Criminal Department stepped forward to report to Emperor Liang Qindi the results of yesterday's trial of the case of stealing quinine by the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital.
"Your Majesty, Luo Ming'an, the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital, is in prison for stealing, and his crime should be punished, and the Criminal Department has now ascertained all the evidence of his crime, and I also ask Your Majesty to send it down."
Although Emperor Liang Qin was resentful of Luo Ming'an's incorruptibility as an official at that time, he regretted even more that he failed to bring down Gu Huanli because of this incident.
But right now, Gu Huanli was sitting behind the curtain behind him, and he didn't dare to show anything rashly.
glanced sideways at the back, and there was no movement in someone, so Emperor Liang Qin pretended to be indignant.
"How can this be true? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone dared to blatantly steal things from the palace, and his crime was indeed punishable. Emperor Liang Qin did not hesitate to condemn Luo Ming'an.
The squire of the criminal department immediately received the order: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister drafted Luo Ming'an's crime after the early dynasty, and immediately asked for beheading and cleaning up the official style." ”
After that, the waiter of the criminal department retreated, and Wang Yong, the commander of the West Factory, stepped forward in accordance with the appointment with Emperor Liang Qin yesterday: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." ”
Seeing this, Emperor Liang Qin hurriedly allowed him to speak: "Wang Aiqing has something important, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Seeing Wang Yong step forward, Gu Huanli had an ominous premonition, and then sat up straight and looked in his direction.
And it turns out that Gu Huanli's worries are really not superfluous, I saw that Wang Yong stepped forward to impeach Lu Xuan-
"The minister reported that the Criminal Department ordered Lu Xuan to act arrogantly and openly provoked the West Factory." Wang Yong said angrily.
Emperor Liang Qin pretended to be stupid: "Oh? Why did Wang Aiqing say this? ”
Wang Yong immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and everyone in the court and the central government immediately talked about it, most of them saying that Lu Xuan was bold and had no one in his eyes.
The rumors became more and more unpleasant, Gu Huanli couldn't bear it, and was about to speak for Lu Xuan, but Chen Weizhi took the lead: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Wang said is a fallacy. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yong was shocked for a moment, thinking that the person who would refute him would be Gu Huanli, so that he would have the opportunity to instigate the civil and military officials to despise his shortcomings and the improper relationship with Lu Xuan.
But Chen Weizhi's intervention really made Wang Yong unexpected, and instantly messed up his original wishful thinking.
Wang Yong didn't have time to react, Chen Weizhi had already walked in front of Emperor Liang Qin: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Xuan is just loyal to his duties and everything he does is for the sake of the court. ”
"How can it not be considered transgression? Lu Xuan robbed me of the work of the West Factory, isn't it considered that there is no one in my eyes? Wang Yong retorted.
Chen Weizhi smiled contemptuously: "Dare to ask Lord Wang if there is no one in his eyes, but who is Lu Xuan's eyes?" ”
Wang Yong didn't know how to reply for a while, but Chen Weizhi spoke for him: "I think Lu Xuan's move is loyal to the monarch and patriotic." ”
