Chapter 49 Court Argument (2)

As soon as Li Ji's voice fell, Wang Shixiu, the right minister of Zhongshu Province, stood up, "Duke Lu, your eldest son is more frank than you and more responsible than you." ”

"Wang Youxiang, this is yours, Lu Gong also admitted that he was derelict in his duties, maybe he promised to be responsible for the eldest lady of the Yan family." Xu Liangxing, the left minister of Menxia Province, also stood up.

He is not good friends with Lu Duan, but has always been at odds with Wang Shixiu, this time he saw that Lu Duan was at a disadvantage, thinking that he would help at this time, maybe the other party could sell him his personal favor.

You must know that although the emperor attaches more importance to these civil officials, these generals have not paid much attention to these civil officials by relying on the fame of their ancestors and hereditary official positions. Therefore, the military attache has always pressed the civilian officials in the court.

Of course, there is another reason for this, due to the intricate in-law relationship between these military attachés, they have long been twisted into a rope over the years, so even if the emperor wants to move anyone, it is by no means an easy thing.

However, this Lu family incident gave Li Cong an opportunity, which was also an important reason why he agreed to hand over this matter to the prince, because he wanted to use the prince's hand to break up these generals.

And Xu Liangxing also saw this opportunity and wanted to sell his favor to Lu Duan, don't look at the Lu family suffered a little trouble this time, but Lu Duan is the prince of Zhenguo and the head of the generals, can he fall so easily?

But Xu Liangxing's actions made Wen Wenshan of Shangshu Province unable to see it, he and Wang Shixiu and Wen Wenshan were the heads of the three provinces, although they performed their own duties, but they were both the heads of civil officials, and they often worked together.

I don't know if it's because the literati are inferior to each other, or because their respective interests are biased, or for some other reason, in short, the relationship between these three people is relatively delicate.

First of all, Wang Shixiu and Xu Liangxing have a bad relationship, so both of them want to win over Wen Wenshan, and Wen Wenshan is in charge of Shangshu Province, which has six departments, and his authority is relatively large, and his position is more important, so he does not dare to act rashly, and he is impartial to everyone under normal circumstances.

But this situation will be different, Xu Liangxing actually helped the landing end to step on Wang Shixiu, didn't this make these generals watch the excitement again?

Furthermore, this matter was provoked by the prince, and the prince represents the emperor, which shows that the emperor has ideas about these generals, and when will he not help push the prince at this time?

So, Wen Wenshan also stood up, "Xu Zuoxiang said that Wen didn't dare to agree, if Duke Lu really admitted that he was derelict in his duties, he should take the two sons to the Yan Mansion to plead guilty, instead of standing here and accusing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of not using a lynching rod to scold the two sons of the Lu family, after all, nothing is more important than a girl's innocence and reputation." ”

As soon as Wen Wenshan spoke, someone in the court saw that the wind was coming.

So, soon someone opened his mouth to accuse Lu Duan, and on Lu Duan's side, because it involved a Meng family and the Yan family, and then the royal family, these generals became silent for the first time.

It is clear that this matter is not authentic for the Lu family, bullying a fatherless and motherless orphan who wants to repent, but he is afraid of the face of the Queen Mother, so he came up with such a bad move.

It's a pity that such a girl with both good looks and appearance, even if she wins the Lu family's apology and admits her mistakes, she still can't get her innocence back, and it will be really difficult to marry in the future.

Therefore, these people couldn't bear to help the landing end step on Yan Yan anymore.

Li Cong saw that Lu Duan would not be able to step down after such a while, and he was worried that it would be a bad thing if it was too much, so he hurriedly said: "Prince, since the eldest prince of the Lu family admits his mistake and is willing to take responsibility, this matter will end here." Lu Gong, it's better for you to make a gift to Yan Hou in public and admit your mistake, and this matter will be revealed. ”

Lu Duan couldn't wait to reveal this, and after hearing the emperor's words, he hurriedly bowed to Yan Peng: "Yan Hou, Lu is here to apologize to you, Lu has no way to teach his son, causing the dog to cause such a trouble, and when the dog is injured another day, he will be asked to come to the door to bear the guilt, and also invite Lord Yan Hou to a lot, not like the dog." ”

Yan Peng didn't like to hear this, "Duke Lu, Yan will not be as knowledgeable as Ling Lang, but it is my niece who is hurt the most in this matter, so Yan hopes that Lu Gong can give an explanation to my niece." ”

There is no way, the Meng family has stood up for Yan Yan, and he, as an uncle, can't watch it.

"This Yan Hou rest assured, Lu will definitely fulfill his promise." Lu Duan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gong Lu, Yan Hou also said just now, it is the eldest lady of the Yan family who is hurt, so it doesn't matter whether your promise is fulfilled or not, what matters is the request of the eldest lady of the Yan family. It is also a coincidence, in order to mediate this matter, I specially took the crown princess to see the eldest lady of the Yan family yesterday, and she only made one request, hoping that Mrs. Lu could apologize to her in public at the queen mother's birthday banquet and admit that it was Lu You who collided with her, and then dissolved her marriage contract with Lu Ming. Li Ji said.

As for the follow-up and Lu You's family affairs, Li Ji is not in a hurry, he is going to become a monk for a while, and he has time to operate.

Because of this request, Li Ji had already mentioned it to Lu Duan yesterday, and Lu Duan was not surprised, and after returning from the East Palace yesterday, he agreed with his wife about the matter.

Although Mrs. Lu was unwilling, she saw that her precious son was beaten like this, and if she didn't end this matter quickly, she might make some other mess.

In this way, she only came to Yan's Mansion early in the morning and wanted to talk to Yan Yan in person.

At this time, Lu Duan naturally didn't know what happened after his wife entered the Yan Mansion, but he knew that although this voyeurism incident caused a storm in the city, most of the discussions before were directed at Yan Yan, but now thanks to the prince, everyone in the city has set their eyes on his two sons, so he also wants to end this matter quickly, otherwise, the Lu family's century-old reputation will definitely be affected.

Therefore, Lu Duan agreed to let his wife apologize to Yan Yan and admit his mistake, and also agreed to dissolve the marriage contract between Yan Yan and Lu Ming.

It's just that in this way, the loss of the Lu family is a bit too big, the two sons were scolded by the cane, and the face of the Lu family also fell to the ground, not to mention that he was fined for a year.

Therefore, after Lu Duan, who was holding back the fire in his belly, he also ordered his subordinates to bring the family law after entering the door, and he had to discipline these two sons strictly, otherwise, this tone would not come out.

Mrs. Lu heard the movement and hurriedly invited the old lady over, she also thought that these two sons should be beaten, but her son had been scolded by the cane for forty, and it was difficult to even get up.
