Chapter 177: Mysterious Operation
Packing her luggage, Lu Anjin sat anxiously in the flower hall waiting for Lu's father's return, thinking that Lu's father would take the initiative to ask to leave Beijing, and the emperor would happily let him go, but she expected the beginning of the story, but did not guess the end of the story.
She waited for two hours, but she waited for her dejected father and a piece of news that was definitely not pleasant. The emperor actually rejected Lu's father's request to leave Beijing, and made a shocking decree to give Lu's father an idle official position, the official position is not high, but he has to go to court every day, and he even gave them the mansion before the demotion.
His mysterious operation caught everyone off guard, and the housekeeper turned his head in embarrassment, avoiding Lu Anjin's gaze. Just now he said how much he swore by him, and how hard his face slapped at this moment. It's just red-faced, red-eared, five thunders thundering, from the outside to the inside, and the inside is also scorched.
Lu Anjin looked indifferent, she sat on the chair silently, her slightly hooked fingers tapped on the table, and she was silent for a long time before she lightly opened her red lips and asked lightly, "Daddy, it seems that Your Majesty is determined to leave you in the capital, Daddy doesn't have to say anything, otherwise he will become the person who doesn't know what to do, after all, His Majesty's move is a great favor in the eyes of outsiders." ”
If he refuses again, he is afraid that the one in the deep palace will have some deep thoughts. In this world, only the emperor and the villain are difficult to serve, and the emperor's favor must be accepted; The emperor's reproach must be accepted, this is the evil feudal system, the emperor let you die three watches, then you will definitely not survive the five watches, the struggle is futile, it will only increase the suffering.
"Daddy really doesn't understand," Lu Jingzhi hung his head in frustration, like a defeated rooster, "What does Your Majesty want to keep Daddy in the capital?" If you want to use your father to balance the Qinghe Palace, then you don't have to, because your mother has drawn a clear line with the Qinghe Palace, at least on the surface, we are old and dead. ”
Lu Anjin naturally knew that his father was now like an ant on a hot pot, and he also heard his impetuousness. "Daddy, don't be impatient, let's analyze the strangeness of this matter, and figure out Your Majesty's thoughts, so that we can come up with a countermeasure, whether to take the initiative or plan it."
Of course, Lu Jingzhi knew that what Lu Anjin said was reasonable, but he just couldn't help but be upset. He was not an impatient person, but he had been trapped in the capital for more than two months, and this kind of free prison-like life made him feel very uncomfortable from the bottom of his bones. That desire to pursue freedom is like a lion out of the cage, murderous and full of confidence.
"What Jin'er said is reasonable, Daddy's head is not very sober now, you come to ponder, what is the meaning of Your Majesty's move? His Majesty insisted on keeping his father in the capital, what did he want to do, or rather, what did he want to get through his father? Lu Jingzhi is now puzzled, and his worried eyebrows have turned into a Sichuan character.
"Daddy, don't worry, sit down and listen to your daughter give you a careful analysis." Lu Anjin comforted Lu Jingzhi, who was anxious and kept circling in the room, he had never seen his father so flustered, but it was the first time in the world, "Daddy, at present, there are two forces behind you, one is Qinghe Wangfu, and the other is Qingliu students." ”
Lu Jingzhi didn't want to think about it, and directly interrupted her words, "Jin'er, Daddy can't agree with your point of view." As early as when your mother married your father, you cut off contact with the Qinghe Palace, everyone in Beijing knows about this matter, and Your Majesty knows it clearly. ”
"Daddy," Lu Anjin smiled lightly, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "You must know that there is no impermeable wall in the world. What's more, under the whole world, it is not the king's land. If His Majesty intends to keep it, then he will definitely find something, and His Majesty is thoughtful and will not easily trust others, so as long as the mother and daughter live for one day, it will not relax its suspicion of the two mansions.
Lu Jingzhi's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth in a sneer. Because he knows that his arguments are just pale and forceful, judging from what His Majesty has done so far, what Lu Anjin said is the most helpless reality. The emperor never let go of his suspicions about him, even though he no longer had any real power, just a depressed petty official.
If the father has no objection, then the daughter will continue. The Qinghe Mansion holds the military power, and the Qingliu students will become the pillars of the imperial court in the future, and there are both civil and military generals behind their father. In addition, his daughter has a marriage contract with Xiao Yun, and what Xiao Yun represents, my father understands in his heart. Therefore, the Lu family seems to have become a living target in the eyes of the emperor. ”
Jin'er's analysis is that Daddy has no dealings with Qinghe Palace, and he doesn't have any intention of taking care of Qingliu students, if His Majesty only uses these unfounded things to suspect Daddy, it would be too arbitrary. Yun'er is a loner in the court, just like her father, even if His Majesty is afraid of Yun'er's military power, he can't move Yun'er. ”
If you move and affect the whole body, if you are in turmoil today, Qi Xiaoyun has a very high reputation among the people of Eastern Qi, if His Majesty moves him because of his own selfishness, at least the people of Eastern Qi will not agree. Moreover, Qi Xiaoyun has military power, but he is a powerless and powerless commander, and Lu Jingzhi feels a little unrealistic that he is involved in the tripartite forces with only one person.
"Daddy, don't you understand, what Your Majesty needs is never evidence, but suspicion. Regardless of whether you have dealings with Qinghe Wangfu or not, as long as your mother is there, you will not be able to break off the relationship with Qinghe Wangfu, in the same way, as long as your daughter is there, the Lu family and Xianwangfu are grasshoppers tied to a rope. No evidence is needed, that's the truth. ”
Lu Jingzhi slumped weakly in the chair, his eyes staring blankly into the distance, blurry and unable to focus. He was full of bitterness and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty has obviously let my father out of Beijing, why is he not believing in his words now?" Daddy boasted that he had never done anything to be sorry for the saint, why did the saint never let go of his suspicion of his father. ”
Lu Anjin shook his head slowly, and comforted him softly, "Daddy, don't say that, Your Majesty can't rest assured that it's not just Daddy, most of the people in this court, he doesn't have a person who is completely at ease." "Even his own flesh and blood can be so distrustful, who else can he trust.
From this point of view, His Majesty, who is high up and controls the power of life and death of everyone, is the most pitiful person in the world. He has the greatest power and the highest wealth in the world, but he does not have the most beautiful love and the most loyal friends. His life was dark, full of suspicion and killing.
Lu Anjin suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the emperor, but this sudden sympathy did not last long, and it disappeared in his mind. There will be something hateful about the wretched!
"Alas," Lu Jingzhi let out a long sigh, half appointed and half impatiently said: "In this case, Daddy will stay in Beijing for a long time, and after a while, Daddy will ask himself to return to his hometown, and Daddy will no longer have the slightest intention of participating." Daddy is old and doesn't want to live those days of deceitful anymore. ”
He is not afraid of shadows, as long as he is worthy of his heart, the ground, and the people, he doesn't care about the rest.
Lu Anjin saw that Lu Jingzhi had already figured it out, so he didn't say anything more. One of the happiest things about talking to smart people is that you don't have to work so hard to speak. You just have to pick one point, and he will naturally draw inferences.
She was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Daddy, there is one thing that my daughter must tell you, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
Lu Jingzhi's heart suddenly pounded uncontrollably, the intensity seemed to jump out of his chest, and his voice involuntarily trembled a little, "What's the matter?" ”
"Fang Cai's daughter received the news that Xiao Yun is gone!"
Lu Jingzhi was taken aback, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees, "What does it mean to be gone?" ”
Lu Anjin's face turned extremely pale in an instant, the strength of the disguise finally broke, her voice trembled incoherently, and the hand on the table clenched into a fist, trembling almost spasmodic. She didn't answer Lu Jingzhi's question, but said firmly, "Daddy, my daughter is going to find him!" ”
"Nonsense!" Lu Jingzhi didn't think about it, and directly rejected her request, which was obviously irrational. "Jin'er, you know that the situation in Beijing is extremely dangerous at this time, and if you make a slight mistake, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover."
Lu Anjin couldn't bear to cry anymore, clear and bitter tears swarmed out like money, she couldn't cry and roared, "Daddy, people have too many scruples in this life." I don't know about the court, I don't care about the disputes between friends, and I don't have any morality, I only know that if I lose Xiaoyun, then I am really in a situation from which I will never recover. ”
"Jin'er, you ......" When did the relationship between them become so unswerving!
"Daddy, my daughter can't lose Xiao Yun..."
The housekeeper looked at Lu Anjin with tears in distress, and remembered the master who had not heard from him so far, and couldn't help sighing, God just likes to play tricks on people, obviously there can be lovers who will eventually become married, but he has to give birth to so many rights and wrongs in the middle.
He comforted weakly, "Princess don't cry, Wang Yeji has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn the danger into a disaster." The princess is most worried about the princess, the princess must take care of herself, if the prince knows, he is the one who makes the princess haggard, and he will definitely not forgive himself. ”
Lu Anjin remembered Qi Xiaoyun's entrustment before leaving, and the sobbing slowly became a little quieter, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.
Lu Jingzhi saw her so sad, and understood that the relationship between the two had reached the point of life and death, he was happy and sad, and quietly looked at his daughter for a long time, under Lu Anjin's tearful eyes, he finally lost the battle, sighed, and resigned himself to his fate: "Do what you want to do, there is a father in everything, don't be afraid." ”
