Hearing Huang Shangshu say this, Lu Li's expression became solemn, and he didn't know what Huang Shangshu was talking about, just looking at his face, it should be something that could affect the government, so Lu Li asked, "What is it?" ”

Huang Shangshu smiled, opened the small cloth bag in his hand, and poured out a ring from it, this ring looks very simple, and there are some simple patterns carved on the outside, probably because the age of use is a little old, and there are some cracks on this ring.

Lu Li put this ring in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything special about this ring, so Lu Li asked suspiciously: "Huang Shangshu, what is this ring?" ”

Huang Shangshu smiled slightly, and explained to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, the widow of Lord Zhang Yu, and also the first-class lady of my dynasty, Qu Ying, after the death of Lord Zhang Yu, she handed over this thing to Weichen, what is this thing, and I hope that Your Majesty will come to Sanqingguan in person, and Mrs. Zhang will talk to you." ”

After Lu Li heard Huang Shangshu say this, he immediately understood that the tattered ring on his hand was not a simple thing, since it was entrusted by Qu Ying, it must have something to do with the current Xuzhou Rebellion.

So Lu Li immediately put down the matter in his hand and said to Huang Shangshu: "Since this is the case, then let's go to Sanqing to watch it now." ”

Lu Li hurriedly changed into civilian clothes out of the palace, and Huang Shangshu came to Sanqingguan together, to say that Sanqingguan has always been the most effective Taoist temple in Shangjing, where good men and women are indispensable to worship, the view is full of fireworks, very lively.

"The scenery inside these three clear views is not bad."

Huang Shangshu looked at the surrounding environment, and the pear trees in the Sanqingguan next to him were blooming just right, and the pear blossoms were clustered, pure as when the snow fluttered and pressed the branches, which made people like it very much.

Lu Li looked around and felt that these three Qingguan were indeed a good place for self-cultivation, not only the scenery was beautiful, but the people who went out to worship were very quiet.

It seems that this Mrs. Zhang has indeed found a good place for herself, free from the distractions of the world, and feeling the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is the most leisurely thing in the world.

Huang Shangshu directly took Lu Li to a Taoist priest, this Taoist priest looked very old, his sideburns were already grayish, and his beard was almost hanging down to his stomach.

Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had already made an agreement with Huang Shangshu, and when he saw Lu Li coming, he didn't hurry to say to Lu Li: "See Your Majesty"

Lu Li nodded and said to the old Taoist, "I don't know where Mrs. Zhang is now?" ”

The Taoist priest bowed his head, made a gesture of please, and walked towards the backyard of Sanqingguan with Lu Li.

There are no more good men and women in the backyard to worship here, and it seems a lot quieter, and there is only a statue of the Jade Emperor that is slightly smaller than the vestibule.

A white-haired woman was kneeling in front of the statue of the Jade Emperor copying scriptures, Lu Li looked at the woman's figure from behind, and always felt that there were many stories hidden in her vicissitudes of life.

It seems that when you see her pious figure, you can be affected by her firm heart.

Lu Li stepped forward, the woman heard Lu Li's footsteps, stood up unhurriedly, glanced at Lu Li, but was not in a hurry to get up, and said to Lu Li: "The emperor is here." ”

Lu Li didn't blame Mrs. Zhang for such behavior, after all, he was also confused by Zhang An at that time, so Lord Zhang Yu, who was killed, was punished by the emperor and finally hanged himself.

Thinking about this matter, Mrs. Zhang must still be complaining about her own confusion in her heart.

So it's common sense that I don't want to say hello to myself at this time.

But Mrs. Zhang is now able to calm herself and provide some help for the Yuzhou Rebellion, and Lu Li is already very grateful.

So Lu Li said to Mrs. Zhang gently: "Mrs. Zhang, you asked Huang Shangshu to bring me a ring, I don't know what this ring is, what do you want to say to me, Mrs. Zhang?" ”

Mrs. Zhang's face was old and very thin, and she would slowly get up from the ground, and she walked towards the chair without Lu Li's support, walking a little slowly.

I only saw her staggering to the side of the chair and sitting down, Lu Li saw her close her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Mrs. Zhang's voice was trembling, and her words were very soft, if Lu Li hadn't pricked up her ears, she could hardly have heard them.

"This ring is the family heirloom of the Zhang family, and only the sect master can have this ring."

Lu Li didn't expect that this inconspicuous ring was actually the patriarch of the Zhang family, so he took the ring to his hand and looked at it carefully, and the patterns on it seemed to have indeed been seen on Lord Zhang Yu's body.

It is engraved with two cranes entangled and flying, and the carving is lifelike, but at this time, Lu Li doesn't know why Mrs. Zhang gave the patriarch's ring to herself.

"Madam, I want to ask you, do you know about the turmoil in Yuzhou now?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and said to Lu Li distressedly: "I naturally know, I didn't expect Zhang Yu to be in the court, do his best, and dedicate his life, these unscrupulous descendants, but they are presumptuous and rude, and they make waves in Yuzhou, which is something that neither Zhang Yu nor I want to see." ”

Lu Li was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that although this Zhang Yu's wife was a lady of the back house, she also knew everything about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

So Lu Li hurriedly asked, "Why didn't the lady come forward to stop it?" You must know that you are now the eldest head of the Zhang family, and uphold the last wish of Lord Zhang Yu, the patriarch ring is on your hand, you naturally have unlimited power, if you come forward to stop the actions of Zhang An's villains, how can Yuzhou be like this, and there will be no danger to Shangjing in the future. ”

Hearing Lu Li say this, the expression on Qu Ying's face was a little gloomy, and she recalled in her mind when she had just married Zhang Yu.

At that time, she was the daughter of the noble Hou Mansion in Shangjing, but unfortunately she was only a concubine, so this marriage was originally a low match.

But after she married Zhang Yu, her husband who assisted her worked hard to make Zhang Yu get today's glory and fame, but she didn't expect that although they knew how to reimburse the court, those children and grandchildren blindly enjoyed the glory and wealth they passed down, and did not want to forge ahead, which made the Zhang family fall to the point where it is today.

The Zhang family has long been out of their control over the years, because there is a monster among the descendants, Zhang An has been very clever since he was a child, and he has great ambitions for power, coupled with the incompetence of his father, the power he has in his hands is getting bigger and bigger.

Therefore, in dealing with the world, he is even more arrogant, and when he grows up, it is no longer something that these two old men can control.

Thinking of this, Qu Yin sighed and said to Lu Li: "Your Majesty, what can I do as an old man, although as you said, I am now the most powerful person in the Zhang family, and I have the patriarch's ring in my hand, but I can suppress Zhang An for a while, but I can't suppress him for a lifetime, if I die, Zhang An will definitely make a comeback, even more powerful than now, it is better to do something meaningful while I am still alive, give this ring to the person who will really use it, and let her eradicate Zhang An, this is for the sake of our Donglan Kingdom, It's also for the sake of the Zhang family, isn't it? ”

Lu Li looked at Mrs. Zhang's expression and found that she looked tired and looked very weak, but there was a kind of decisiveness and firmness between her eyebrows and eyes.

Thinking that she can assist Lord Zhang Yu all the way and grow the Zhang family to the current level, she must not be an ordinary woman.

"Mrs. Zhang, you are right, even if you give orders to the clansmen of the Zhang family now, it is a temporary method to prevent Zhang An from becoming the patriarch, and if you want to never suffer in the future, you have to use the patriarch's ring to make a fuss."

Qu Ying nodded, and when it came to the position of the patriarch, she had already figured out who the candidate was, but the child was a little cowardly by nature, and she didn't know if this experience could help him grow.

"Your Majesty, I have already made a decision in my heart about the candidate for the sect head of the Zhang family, and I think it would be more appropriate to let my second grandson serve as it."

Lu Li searched in his mind, the second grandson, could it be Zhang Yue?

Lu Li once heard him mention Zhang Yue in the letter sent by Li Ran, only saying that Zhang Yue is Zhang An's younger brother, although he is pure in nature, naïve and straightforward, but unfortunately his temperament is too cowardly, and he is not as decisive as his brother.

Not to mention being able to bear the entire clan with the power of one person, although the Zhang family is now the enemy of the imperial court, Lu Li doesn't want to watch Lord Zhang Yu's life's dedication, so it will be ruined, if Zhang Yue is just a mediocre talent, the Zhang family will still be destroyed.

So he cautiously tested: "Mrs. Zhang, but your second grandson is really a little tepid, I think if he comes to be the patriarch, he can't control everyone, and the Zhang family will be destroyed sooner or later, are you really sure you want to do this?" ”

Lu Li said, Qu Ying didn't know, but at this time, there was no man in the Zhang family who could take on this heavy responsibility, so he nodded decisively and said to Lu Li: "My second grandson, although he is a little cowardly and doesn't like to fight with others, but from my observation of him since he was a child, when he encounters major events, he has a decision in his heart. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Ying's eyes seemed to be full of bright light, as if she saw the future of Zhang Yue's revitalization of the Zhang family.

"Moreover, no matter how Zhang An persecuted him, she didn't attack the people you sent, isn't this his tenacity and decisiveness?"

Lu Li thought about it, maybe it was really as Qu Ying said, this Zhang Yue grew up.
