Chapter 583: Lu Guo Dispute
Although Emperor Lu said on the surface that he was proving the innocence of the concubine, he actually wanted to search the palace, but in the face of Emperor Lu's insistence, the concubine had no choice but to agree. Emperor Lu was suspicious and ready to order someone to search the palace, but at this time, Lu Jue suddenly entered the palace, and the news reached the emperor, and Emperor Lu couldn't go to search the palace now.
Emperor Lu was angry, the concubine comforted, Emperor Lu complained that when Lu Jue didn't enter the palace, he just entered the palace at this time, and the emperor was going to see Lu Jue, but the palace maid kneeling on the ground stopped Emperor Lu and hoped that Emperor Lu would go to search the palace first.
Emperor Lu felt pressure because Lu Jue entered the palace, and he had no intention of searching the palace again, and kicked the palace maid away, the palace maid kept begging the emperor, the concubine looked at the palace maid viciously, and the palace maid looked at the back of the departing emperor and had no hope.
The concubine ordered someone to dispose of the palace maid, and the palace maid was desperate and no longer struggled.
"Fortunately, the prince entered the palace at this time, otherwise His Royal Highness the Prince's affairs in my palace would have been exposed."
Emperor Lu sent Lu Jue to the imperial study to discuss with Lu Jue about tax exemption. Lu Jue easily proposed to exempt the people from taxes, and Emperor Lu panicked and proposed that the treasury could not be exempted from taxes when it was empty. Lu Jue pointed out that the treasury was empty, this was the emperor's business, and the people could not be oppressed.
Emperor Lu bluntly said that the revenue of the treasury is from the taxes of the people, and now if the taxes of the people are exempted, the treasury will always be empty, and all the expenses in the palace will not be able to operate. Lu Jue knew that Emperor Lu was deliberately making excuses and was unwilling to exempt the people from paying taxes.
Hereby, Lu Jue has always insisted that the Emperor of Lu State issue an order to exempt the people from taxation, but the Emperor Lu Guo did not agree, Lu Jue waited and looked at the Emperor Lu Guo, and the Emperor Lu Guo was afraid to retreat, and told Lu Jue that he was the emperor.
"Your Majesty, as the emperor, you should think about the people first, why do you only think about enjoyment?"
Lu Jue suddenly accused the emperor of Lu State of only enjoying himself and ignoring the life and death of the people, and the emperor of Lu State bluntly said that he was the emperor and that he could not be left to others what he wanted to do. Lu Jue asked Emperor Lu to make sure that he was exempt from taxation.
Emperor Lu was a little afraid of Lu Jue, and was forced by Lu Jue to finally compromise, and Emperor Lu couldn't help but break out anymore.
"You're just a prince of my land country, why should you decide for me? If I can't say this, I won't do it. ”
"Your Majesty, you just promised to make an order, what? Now you regret it again? You don't have any jokes. ”
Lu Jue's sudden emotional outburst in the face of Emperor Lu was also expected, and he was not angry at Emperor Lu's actions, and Emperor Lu accused Lu Jue of threatening himself and trying to rebel.
"Your Majesty, what did you say? I'm all for the good of Lu Guo, but now you say I'm a rebel? ”
"You're just a prince, but you've been forcing me to do something the opposite of me, and even threatening me, you're too arrogant, aren't you?"
In the face of the emperor's accusation, Lu Jue suddenly laughed, but accused the emperor of being incompetent and only greedy for pleasure.
The crown prince left the palace of the concubine and then planned to leave the palace, but was unexpectedly stopped by the forbidden army of the palace.
"What do you mean by that? I want to get out of the palace, this is my freedom, why stop me? ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is what the emperor meant, please go back."
The prince frowned and wanted to forcibly break out, but the forbidden army kept stopping the prince and sent someone to inform the emperor of the Lu State, who was furious when he learned the news and told the forbidden army to stop the prince and not let him out of the palace.
Then the Emperor of Lu came to the gate of the palace and saw the crown prince.
"Prince, where are you going?"
Faced with the emperor's questioning, the prince replied that he just wanted to go out of the palace to relax, and the emperor of Lu asked the prince to go back, and told the prince that the imperial garden could also be distracted, and the prince saw the intention of the emperor of Lu and just wanted to confine himself in this palace until he agreed to borrow troops.
The crown prince proposed that the emperor could no longer threaten himself, and the emperor of Lu Guo guessed in his heart that the prince might have known about Fu Xinyuan's absence in the palace, and smiled and told the prince that he just wanted to keep the prince in the palace for a longer time.
The prince said that he wanted to visit Fu Xinyuan in the palace, hoping that the emperor of Lu State could let him out, and the emperor was shocked that Fu Xinyuan was in the palace, and he said all the good things to let the prince return to the side hall. The prince had no choice but to leave the palace and had to go back.
Emperor Lu wanted to send someone to inquire, but he didn't dare to go because he was afraid of Lu Jue, so Emperor Lu planned to go to the palace to find out in person.
Emperor Lu said that he was going to visit the palace on the surface, but in fact, he wanted to test whether Fu Xinyuan was in the palace.
Lu Jue pretended to respectfully meet with the Emperor of the Lu Kingdom, and Fu Xinyuan heard the conversation between the two in the back hall, but he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of falling into the hands of the Emperor of the Lu Kingdom again.
"I don't know what the emperor came to my house for?"
Lu Jue took the initiative to ask about Emperor Lu's intentions, and Emperor Lu explained with a smile that he was only coming to visit Lu Jue when he went out of the palace this time, Lu Jue proposed to meet the emperor in the imperial study earlier, and Emperor Lu was worried about showing his feet, so he casually made up an excuse that he hadn't been out of the palace for a long time.
Although Lu Jue indicated that he was the emperor who received him with a smile, he was actually wondering if the emperor of Lu Guo had come to test Fu Xinyuan in his mansion, and between the two chatting, Fu Xinyuan, who was eavesdropping, unexpectedly learned that Lu Jue was the little prince of Lu Guo.
"Since he is the little prince of Lu Kingdom, why did he lie to me?"
Fu Xinyuan couldn't understand why Lu Jue would hide his identity from him, and after waiting for the Emperor Lu to leave, Lu Jue was worried that Fu Xinyuan would have something to do and went to visit, but only saw Fu Xinyuan looking at him viciously.
"Tuan Tuan, what are you looking at me like this?"
In the face of Lu Jue's inquiry, Fu Xinyuan didn't want to pay attention to it at all, Lu Jue stepped forward to ask Fu Xinyuan the reason, Fu Xinyuan asked Lu Jue why he deceived himself, Lu Jue felt strange and explained that he did not deceive her.
"Are you still playing dumb?"
Fu Xinyuan sneered and kept accusing herself of being too stupid, believing in a person like this, Lu Jue stepped forward to comfort Fu Xinyuan and hoped that Fu Xinyuan would not talk about herself like this, Fu Xinyuan once again accused Lu Jue of why he refused to tell her the truth even though he was the little prince of Lu Guo.
Lu Jue was suddenly surprised and asked Fu Xinyuan how he knew about this, Fu Xinyuan explained that he had been eavesdropping on them in the back hall just now, and then he knew the truth, Lu Jue told Fu Xinyuan that he didn't tell her because he was also distressed.
Fu Xinyuan accused Lu Jue of not deceiving himself, what should he tell himself in time, Lu Jue showed a helpless expression, Fu Xinyuan continued to ask Lu Jue why he wanted to help himself by concealing his identity. Lu Jue said that he was sincerely friends with Fu Xinyuan, and he did not deliberately hide it.
