Chapter 556: The First Clash of Brothers
At this time, in the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Lu Hehao and King Su were eating tea in the same hall, and there was only a small number between themβexcept for the two of them, there were only a few people in the hall and outside the hall.
As for the people who can call the shots in the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, they are all gone.
"What if something happens?" At first, when the county lord of Qingjiang asked for such an arrangement, Mrs. Shou Chunbo was not very appreciative, "These two are now competing for the big position, and they can be said to be on the tip of a needle against each other, if we don't watch it, how can we not make trouble?" β
"It's good to make a fuss!" The county lord of Qingjiang sneered, "That's not just a reason to ask them to make noise and go elsewhere, don't disturb my mother's recuperation!" β
The county lord of Qingjiang has no good impression of both Wei and Su now, even if King Su is her brother-in-law - after all, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is sick because Jian Yi died in Liaozhou, and she has not been able to get better, but it is because of the major events in the court since the beginning of this year, one after another, involving King Su and his wife, Yanhou Mansion and Pei Yourui, causing the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom not only to recuperate, but even to worry about the younger generations under her knees, which is not as good as one day at a time.
So at the moment, although Lu Hehao and King Su came to visit the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the county lord of Qingjiang did not appreciate it, and even had some plans to drive them away as soon as possible.
Mrs. Shou Chunbo couldn't resist her, and Jian Xubai reminded from the side: "Lu Hehao and His Royal Highness King Su will come here, in addition to caring about the second aunt, in fact, it is also for the court and the world to see, how can it be possible to make trouble in the second aunt's mansion?" And according to the eldest sister, let them sit in the flower hall for a meeting, and see that the time is almost up to say hello, they should be leaving. β
He whispered again, "If we go over, I don't have anything, second sister-in-law, how do you talk to your eldest sister, it's troublesome, it's better not to go!" β
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Shouchun woke up, Yanhou Mansion had already stood in line, if he went to the flower hall, he just had to help King Su. But the county lord of Qingjiang and Shou Chunbo Mansion have never expressed their position, and they don't want to express their stance - so if they go out to entertain those two, it's good that they don't pinch them, but if they really pinch them, who will they help?
It's not easy to play the round all the time, right?
"It's a mess!" Mrs. Shou Chunbo sighed, "I don't know when it's a head-by the way, Ah Xu, you haven't been back to the house yet, your younger brother and sister are alone in the house, and you have to watch the children again, are you busy?" If you don't just take her over, there are a lot of empty houses on my mother's side anyway. β
When Mrs. Shou Chunbo reciprocated and cared about Song Yixiao, on the side of the flower hall, Lu Hehao and King Su also started to fight after a short stalemate: "I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, cousin." β
Lu Hehao picked up the tea and blew it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "I thought that when His Majesty summoned you back to the imperial capital before, he clearly told you that the imperial grandmother and the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom were both unsafe, but you stopped and stopped and disappeared for a long time. β
He deliberately bit the word "cousin", and the meaning of the words naturally meant that King Su did not really respect and care for his elders, but was just pretending.
"The reason why Gu was delayed on the road was because of the assassination of Brother Xiangwang, and the court was worried that Gu would also encounter an accident, so it was also allowed to be done cautiously." King Su said lightly, "This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the emperor's aunt and uncle are already far away in Qiongzhou, and it is still difficult to escape the poisonous hand - how can Lone not be careful?" β
Lu Hehao naturally didn't feel embarrassed because he sarcastically murdered the eldest princess and his wife, and still said with a smile: "There is a way not to do bad things and not to be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, my cousin is so tight about himself, in the end, his heart is still too big." Otherwise, why do you need to worry about such a heart? β
"If you want to talk about bad things, who can compare to you, the third brother?" King Su sneered when he heard this, "The wife and the youngest son of the knot can be pulled in front of him to block the arrow, and I don't know if the third brother has dreamed of the late third sister-in-law and Gui'er nephew in the middle of the night these days?" β
"The person by the pillow, my dear son, of course, dreams occasionally." Lu Hehao said calmly, "But when it comes to this matter, shouldn't it be the Su family who is sorry?" β
He turned his head and looked at King Su with a smile, "Before my cousin despised me for this matter, did you ever break off with Su Jiaen?" If not, what qualifications do you have to dictate to me? Could it be that my cousin can only see my affection, but he can't see the Su family's indiscriminate killing of innocents? My cousin is so favoritous, why should he dream of my innocent wife in the middle of the night and cry out for injustice, right? β
King Su said expressionlessly: "The Wei family also has a part in this matter, the third brother is now very happy with the Wei family, the third brother is the husband of the third sister-in-law and the biological father of the nephew of Gui'er, and he is still so open, why should he go beyond the line and break off with the Su family for the third sister-in-law and the nephew of Gui'er?" β
The two of them quarreled here, and it was almost time to see that the time was almost up, but the people from the eldest princess's mansion of the Jin Kingdom had not yet come to greet them - the intention of chasing guests was so obvious, and they didn't want to stay to annoy people, so King Su turned his head to the servant and said, "How is the imperial aunt now?" β
The next person said: "The little one is going to ask, please wait for the prince and Lu Gongzi!" β
Soon after this person went to ask for instructions, the county lord of Qingjiang came out to see off the guests - the county lord was in a very bad mood now because of the illness of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and his attitude was naturally not too beautiful. I'm really sorry, my mother hasn't woken up yet, there is no backbone in the house now, and I'm really snubbing you today! Fortunately, they are all my own family, and I won't be polite to you, so I'll send you out! β
When Lu Hehao and King Su heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched: What King Su asked just now was obviously the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the next person didn't have the courage to fake the words of the prince, but the county lord of Qingjiang said that they were leaving, which was obviously wishing they would get out early!
However, they were not easy to deal with the lord of Qingjiang County, and they cared about the condition of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom for a few words, and they were half sent out of the house by the lord of Qingjiang.
Before they stepped over the threshold, the county lord of Qingjiang threw down a sentence: "I still have to go back to guard my mother, you go slowly!" Immediately ordered the subordinates to slam the door shut!
"Big cousin's temper!" King Su smiled bitterly, glanced at Lu Hehao, and was about to lift his robe and walk to his mount, but Lu Hehao suddenly turned his head and said with a smile in a voice that only he could hear: "Cousin seems to look down on me?" I don't know if he was a cousin who was defeated at sunset, would he still be in this lofty posture today? β
King Su narrowed his eyes when he heard this, stopped and turned his head, and said lightly: "Lone is just too lazy to talk to a puppet!" β
"Isn't my cousin a puppet himself?" When Lu Hehao heard this, he laughed out loud as if he had heard some joke, "Does my cousin still think that if you are the one who ascends the throne in the future, you can be the master of your own house?" Don't be kidding - the Su family has worked hard for so many years, Ji Guogong has lost his life, and the eldest grandson Su Bofeng has become a cripple with one foot missing, and Miss Su Qi, who can be called a model of noble women in the imperial capital, married her cousin Ji, and the Su family in Qingzhou paid a huge price, just to unconditionally let you reign in the world and be famous for eternity? ! Do they owe you for eight lifetimes?! Or do you think that if you call your uncle and cousin, they will be so moved that they will die for you, regardless of any pay?! β
Lu Hehao said with a smile, "I thought that the cultivation of the Su clan in Qingzhou was outstanding, but now it seems that your level of innocence, cousin, is even better than Your Majesty!" β
He seemed to think of something, and then he changed his words, "Oh, no! This just proves that the Su family's teaching to you is really successful - even if the Su family wins in the future, you will be happy and grateful to them as a puppet for a lifetime, and you think that everything is under your control! I am very happy to let my nephew do it under the guise of it, and it is worthy of being a famous family that has inherited several dynasties! It's really unique and convincing! β
Speaking of this, Lu Hehao gave King Su a thumbs up and left with a smile.
"Your Highness?" The faces of the people who heard this change on the left and right of King Su, and they all looked at King Su worriedly.
"He's the same old thing!" King Su was still calm, and said lightly, "It's a pity that Lone is not Your Majesty, and when you listen to his words, you will suspect your loved ones - there is nothing to do with this kind of tongue, but to see if he can still be so sharp in the court's argument tomorrow!" β
The waiters secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they didn't notice that King Su's eyes flickered slightly, thoughtfully.
At this time, everyone knew that the next day's court meeting would be very intense.
However, in the evening of the same day, a holy decree came out of the palace, which almost caused the ministers to rush into the palace on the spot and start a war in advance - Emperor Duanhua, who had been silent for several days, issued a holy decree, using Lu Hehao's excuse to visit his aunt in the eldest princess's mansion of the Jin Kingdom today, saying that Lu Hehao was filial and considerate, and he could change his mistakes and restore his lord of Liang!
This holy decree is known at a glance from the meaning of the Wei family, after all, the Wei family is now going to recommend Lu Hehao to compete for the throne with King Su - and King Su is the prince, but Lu Hehao is just a concubine, today the two met in the mansion of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Lu Hehao said a "cousin" and did not seem to fall behind, in fact, King Su opened his mouth "lonely" and closed his mouth "this king", and he didn't know how many streets he threw him in terms of style and momentum.
How could the Wei family be willing to let Lu Hehao suffer this loss all the time?
So this will seize an opportunity, no matter whether it is far-fetched or not, restore Lu Hehao's title first!
Of course, they knew that the Su family would never agree to Lu Hehao's restoration of the status of the prince so easily - so that evening, in addition to asking Emperor Duanhua to issue an order to restore Lu Hehao, they also asked King Liang to be imprisoned, and Zongzheng Shaoqing, who was in charge of Zongzheng Temple, came forward and brought people to King Su's mansion to arrest King Su.
The reason is naturally the assassination of King Xiang, which has been almost forgotten.
β¦β¦ In fact, as early as when King Su first appeared in the court, the Wei family could seize this matter and make trouble.
The reason why he didn't mention it at the time and delayed mentioning it until now is to cover for Lu Hehao's restoration of the title: Is your Su family now staring at whether Lu Hehao should restore the princehood, or is it to clear King Su of the crime of murdering King Xiang?!
Although the Su family now has the upper hand, the advantage is not big enough to achieve these two goals at the same time.
And when you can only choose one of these two things, you can also know that the Su family must choose the latter - in this way, the resistance to block Lu Hehao's recovery of the prince will naturally be much smaller.
"So this candidate is really not good!" Wei Pi privately regretted with his confidants, "If it weren't for Lu Hehao's too many problems, as the son of the first emperor, he would have to work so hard to restore a title, how much use can the Xiangwang case have?" Now it's just a waste! β
"In the end, the Xiangwang case is Gu Xiang's personal knife." The henchman comforted, "Which can be easily solved by the Su family?" Maybe it won't be wasted? β
Wei Pi smiled bitterly: "I can only hope for this-"
He rubbed his face, "There's nothing else, you can go back and settle down!" If you don't raise your spirit, you won't be able to hold up tomorrow's court! β
