After Li Ji went back that night, he did not go directly to the East Palace, but entered the south study and retold the content of the conversation in Mingyuan in detail this afternoon, focusing on Yan Yan's long-term concern for Jurchen.

Li Cong heard that it was Yan Yan's idea, and after thinking about it for a night, he left Lu You after the court meeting the next day, and asked Lu You again from Lu You's mouth about the situation when he and Zhou Lu met, and also asked Lu You's opinion on Zhou Lu.

Three days later, Li Cong issued a holy decree at the court meeting, sending Lu You as a special envoy to Liao to sign an armistice agreement, and also promised to send 50 artillery pieces and 5,000 rounds of ammunition to Liao, the price was 50,000 taels of gold, to be paid in three years, and Liao must also promise to pay 10,000 war horses every year for ten years.

In addition, the sixteen states of Yanyun must all be returned to the Great Zhou, and the Khitans should all withdraw, and the Great Zhou did not agree to form an alliance with the Liao State, but would never take the initiative to provoke a war, let alone fall into the ground.

This condition was set by Li Cong, and how to talk about it is Lu You's business, but there is one point, the sixteen states of Yanyun are the bottom line, and the others can be discussed.

Lu You was a little enlightened when he received this holy decree, he came back to reunite with Yan Yan easily, and repeatedly said that he wanted to devote himself to learning to participate in the scientific examination and take the literary examination, but the emperor appointed his name, and he was no longer willing or had the courage to resist the decree.

Because Lu You came back to have a lot of things in the past few days, every morning to the court, and after the next court, he hurriedly went to Taixue, and it was basically dark when he came back from Taixue, so he had not returned to the Lu family for three or four days, and now he received the holy decree to leave Beijing, and this trip to the Lu family was inevitable.

Of course, Lu You went back to Lu's house to take a look at the old lady, and he was for outsiders to see, who told him that he is also an official of the court now?

Originally, Yi Lu You meant not to let Yan Yan follow, but Yan Yan thought that she hadn't entered the gate of the Lu family for several months, and last time the old lady came to beg her for Yan Yu's son's full moon banquet, she didn't give her face, this time she should go to see the old lady anyway, and see if there is any news to listen to.

So, that afternoon, Yan Yan found a few things from the warehouse, accompanied her husband and two children into the gate of the Lu family, and went directly to the old lady's upper room.

Coincidentally, when Yan Yan and his entourage entered, Lu Ming was talking with the old lady, and he was talking about the holy decree that Lu You received.

Lu Ming felt aggrieved, in terms of birth, qualifications, and ability, this envoy should be made by him, after all, the Lu family has been dealing with the Liao State on the front line all these years, and he is the authentic son of the Lu family, not more representative than Lu You?

Also, don't look at Lu You who has won a few battles, but he has been a dumb and fool for so many years, and he has just learned to speak for a few years, how can such a person be able to bear the heavy responsibility of peace talks?

Of course, there is another reason why Lu Ming wants to be this envoy, he also wants to leave the capital, he wants to leave this home, he wants to leave the court, and he wants to leave the old days.

To be honest, before returning to the capital, he didn't expect his reputation to be so bad, and he didn't expect that the scandal between him and Yan Yu didn't stop at all, because what his mother and Yan Yu told him before was that the emperor admonished those mothers-in-law and executed him, which can be regarded as justifying the name of the two of them and the Yan and Lu families.

But in fact?

Whether it is a colleague discussion or a gathering of friends, there are always people who bring up this topic intentionally or unintentionally, either laughing at his clumsiness or curious about how he made a private agreement with Yan Yu for life under Yan Yan's nose.

It's decided, and I have to make a collision and a scene of disgrace in front of people to force an orphan girl to death.

That's it, but it's only been a few years, and there was a scandal about wanting to get separated from Yan Yu, and he got together with his cousin again.

With such a character and such a scheming, who would dare to work with him, and who would dare to be friends with him?

Therefore, these days, except for the necessary daily court meetings, Lu Ming rarely goes out.

But when he returned home, he was also not in a good mood, and his grandmother and mother, who had always doted on him, were now like ice, and even the basic morning and dusk provinces of his mother had given up, and if there was nothing important, she basically did not enter the old lady's house.

He had the intention to maintain the relationship in the middle, but his mother insisted that she could not live under the same roof with the person who killed her, and the old lady insisted that Yan Yu could not be divorced or separated, which would affect the reputation and future of the Lu family.

But then again, the reputation of the Lu family had fallen to the bottom as early as when the scandal between Lu Ming and Yan Yu broke out, although the emperor executed those mothers-in-law for the sake of the face of the Yan and Lu families, but he couldn't stop everyone's mouth!

Therefore, the Zhu family thinks that the face of the Lu family is gone, so why deceive themselves for a Yan Yu, but let outsiders see the joke in vain, it is better to splash all the dirty water on Yan Yu, Lu Ming, the victim, can barely save some reputation, and the Lu family can be revitalized.

Moreover, Yan Yu is not only disobedient to his superiors, but also has no grace to his subordinates, and he is also incompatible with Lu Ming's concubines, and he has no love for these concubines, otherwise Lu Wei's seafood poisoning incident would not have happened.

In short, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of the Zhu family, this daughter-in-law is useless, if she hadn't used Yan Yan's talent to lick her face and hook up with Lu Ming, Lu Ming would definitely marry Yan Yan, how could there be these troubles today?

Therefore, the Lu family did not wronged her, this is all a fact.

Originally, Lu Ming still had a little pity for Yan Yushang before returning to the capital, anyway, Yan Yu, a weak woman, was willing to go to the front line for him, and was willing to accompany him to endure hardships on the front line, and the most important thing is that the two of them came from childhood sweethearts, and they really liked each other, and Yan Yu just gave birth to a son for him, so Lu Ming didn't want to do too much.

In addition, another reason why he didn't want to be separated was that he didn't want to admit defeat, he didn't want to admit that he was clumsy, and he didn't want Yan Yan to see the jokes, to put it bluntly, he wanted to hold on.

But now it seems that his death does not seem to make any sense at all.

Because of whether he supports it or not, he is a joke in the eyes of others.

Not to mention, Yan Yu also did such a rebellious thing, so that pity was too insignificant compared to Lu Ming's own loss of face.

It's just that Lu Ming didn't expect that his grandmother would oppose him so much, and he did not hesitate to turn against his daughter-in-law who had been with him for more than 20 years, which made Lu Ming embarrassed.

Since the union can't be separated, Lu Ming doesn't want to stay in the capital anymore, at this time he really wants to find a chance to leave the capital, it is best to have a high-sounding reason, wait for him to go out for a few years and come back, at that time everyone must have forgotten about his affairs.
