114 Hot Upset

As soon as Li turned around, he went to find his third son, Lin Mulian, to discuss, and when the maid went out, she bumped into Lin Mulian who came in a hurry.

A lot of things have happened in the past two days, first Mu Peilan and his wife restored their original appearance, and then Lu Ying came to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he didn't even go back to the General's Mansion, so he lived directly in the Zhongguo Mansion.

Lin Mulian knew that his plan might be very uncertain, so the first thing he did when he returned from meeting guests from outside was to discuss with his mother what to do next.

"I just had a drink with the staff around the eldest prince, and those people all wanted to inquire about Lu Ying. The attitude is very different from before. Lin Mulian was happy and worried, happy that the eldest prince and his family were a lot closer to him, and they obviously looked up to him between their words. The worry is that the Bai family has such a backer as Lu Ying, and it will be difficult to manipulate them, and even the wealth of the Bai family, which they start to think is within reach, may not have a chance to start.

Li Shi groaned for a while and said: "Originally, as long as the eldest prince is really ruthless, he will have to rely on our family to succeed in the end, and adding a Lu Ying will only make him more interested in that girl!" It's just that if we can't control that girl, it's equivalent to being busy in vain and making wedding clothes for others. Their backers are so hard, how easy is it for your second brother to think about inheriting the lord in the past? I was afraid that the Su family would not stop doing it, and gave the title to her son-in-law...... What a damn one! Originally, I thought that her son-in-law would not be able to see people on the stage, and it would not be a trouble, but I didn't expect ......"

The reason why Li is so sure that the eldest prince will rely on their family is because of a rule made by the founding emperor of this dynasty, if the monarch has no way to cause anger and resentment, or if he dies unexpectedly and fails to set up a crown prince, the clan relatives with the prince will jointly nominate a new monarch to take over.

Because the titles of the imperial officials of the Qi State have only been passed down for three generations, and the children of the royal family have fierce competition for the throne, so in this dynasty, the total number of relatives and princes who have left behind is only seven - three princes and four princes, among which the title of the Duke of Zhongguo has not yet been inherited.

The eldest prince and the two princes have been fighting for many years, seeing that his father is still in the harem day by day, and his patience is almost exhausted, Lin Mulian is exactly this point and stammers with the eldest prince.

Lin Mulian was also a little panicked when he heard his mother say this: "No, after all, Bai Chou is a foreigner......

Li Shi glared at him, hating iron and steel: "Do you think Su Shi can't do it?!" As long as the white ugly is willing to join the family, according to the rules of this dynasty, the son-in-law can also inherit the title and inherit the property! Not to mention that Peilan's girl is still Princess Antai's handkerchief, and the Su family is deeply valued by the Queen Mother, only these two, it is completely possible for their family to bypass our Lin descendants and give the title to Bai Chou! Don't forget, White Clown and White Poria are father and daughter, much closer than you cousins. If the eldest prince marries the girl of Bai Poria, the future Zhongguo Gong will be his father-in-law, how can he not support him? What use do you cousins have? Why did he offend his father-in-law and Lu Ying in vain and plan for our family?! ”

Lin Mulian's face changed when she said it, but she still said stiffly: "My father is the Duke of Yasukuni, could it be that he is willing not to have his father's vote?!" ”

Li sighed dejectedly: "Your father's body, you don't know, and you don't know if you can survive until that day......

Lin Mulian was so anxious that he turned around: "How can that be good?" "If their family is no longer useful to the eldest prince, then won't he be busy in vain these days? In the end, he still couldn't get any benefits, let alone reward him for his merits in the future.

Li gritted his teeth and said: "The amount is small, not a gentleman, no poison, no husband!" I can't say that we have to strike first, and get this loyal duke title first. When the time comes, I can't help but let the eldest prince not look at my family differently! ”

"Strike first? What's next? Lin Mulian looked dazed.

Li Shi looked at him like this, angry and worried, as long as one of the three sons was promising, why should she worry about it day and night?

"Call your two brothers, you can't do this alone." Li sighed.

On the other side, Yang Mei counted and sorted out the gift lists and gifts sent by the guests, and in the envious eyes of those people in the Yasukuni Mansion, she asked the maid to send all the gifts to an empty room in Reading Yunxuan to be placed. He also distributed the prepared reward silver to the hands of each steward, each of whom had a three-tael silver peach, and the steward was a six-tael silver peach, and only those subordinates were dazzled with joy and smiled, and they all praised the generosity of the Bai couple. Their monthly silver is less than two taels of silver a month, and even the stewardship is only five taels!

Bai Poria took the sorted gift list handed over by Yangmei, swept the things on it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, they are all rich people, they are really rich, go back and sell these things to the tooth shop, at least you can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

Bai Guo smiled and said: "General Lu has a big face, and as soon as he came, there were many more guests than expected, I heard that the little maids brought by those ladies and ladies secretly chewed the root of their tongues, saying that many of them heard that Miss Lu was General Lu's righteous sister, so they temporarily re-purchased gifts, and yesterday the business of the Yinlou jewelry store in Beijing was too good to be good!" ”

This vaguely means that Bai Poria is not enough face, and the fox is fake and mighty, but Bai Poria is a pragmatist, and the relationship with Lu Ying has always been very good, since it is a fact, there is nothing to mind, but instead echoed with a wicked smile: "I knew this was the case, postpone the ceremony for a few days, let them have more time to prepare, and I will make more money!" It's a loss! ”

Seeing that the more they talked, the more they spoke, Yang Mei reluctantly interrupted: "Miss, look at the person who gave the gift, that Xia Xinxin didn't come, but also gave a gift, and sent Mama to invite Miss to her other courtyard for a while." Mama said that the other house where she was recuperating was in the area of Skylark Mountain......"

When Bai Guo heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "She must be uneasy and kind, Miss don't pay attention to her!" ”

Bai Poria raised her eyebrows and said, "What did Xia Xinxin give me?" ”

Yang Mei said with a strange expression: "It's that picture of snow reflecting cold plums......"

What does that mean? Bai Poria thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I'll move to the Yunque Mountain Courtyard tomorrow, and I'll talk about it then." ”

Yang Mei didn't say much when she heard this, and brought Hongyi and others to clean up for Bai Poria Cocos, and Bai Guo suddenly remembered a question: "Miss, the selection of the princess will be decided before the year, will your ceremony be such a big momentum today...... Uh, what if I do get you? ”

Bai Poria said, "Isn't it too late for you to think of this now?" Hum! Don't worry, I won't be chosen, my father and mother have already invited Princess Antai to go to the door, and my name will be taken off the list of candidates for the princess in the next two days. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Bai Guo was relieved, smiled and followed Yangmei to clean up his things.

In fact, according to Lu Ying's inference, even if Bai Poria's name is still on the candidate list, she will most likely be defeated. This has to start with Lu Ying.

The reason why Lu Ying became the object of competition between the eldest prince and the second prince was that in addition to his reputation in the Qi Kingdom and the military power in his hands, the most important point was his seniority and connections in the Imperial Forest Army.

Lu Ying was able to rise to prominence, because he had the grace to save his life to the commander of the Royal Forest Army who had just left office, so he was exceptionally included in the Royal Forest Army, and his martial arts ability was indeed outstanding, and most of the young master soldiers in the Royal Forest Army who were above the top were convinced by him, over the years, most of the Royal Forest Army, who had good friends with Lu Ying, had now become the commander of the army, and Lu Ying was even more brilliant, becoming the youngest second-rank member in the court, even if the two were separated by thousands of miles, one was in the border city and the other was in Beijing. But no one will doubt Lu Ying's influence in the Imperial Forest Army, especially now that several commanders in the Imperial Forest Army still talk about Lu Ying from time to time.

Lu Ying returned to Beijing to report on his work, and was immediately sent by the emperor to rectify the imperial forest army in the western camp, but the two thousand imperial forest troops were properly packed up in a few days, which is the most powerful evidence.

Everyone knows what the Western Camp Royal Forest Army was like a while ago.

Previously, the eldest prince and the second prince each recommended their own people to be the commander of the imperial forest army in the western camp in order to compete for the control of the imperial forest army, and the result of the dispute between the two sides was that the emperor promoted the people they recommended to the deputy commander, and each brought a thousand imperial forest troops in the western camp, claiming that whichever side performed better would be promoted to the orthodox leader. This speechless decision directly caused the West Camp to become a pot of porridge, and the 2,000 Imperial Forest Army played trapped beast fights in it every day.

After receiving the order to take over the West Battalion, he quickly attacked, mobilized the 2,000 Imperial Forest Army of the East Battalion led by Pu Huang to strictly guard the entrances and exits of the West Battalion, and immediately took down the unstable factors in the West Battalion - for example, the two deputy commanders who took the lead in stirring up trouble, and then implemented various thunderous means to clean up these young master soldiers one by one, and no longer dared to jump around.

When the eldest prince and the second prince got the news, the overall situation had already been decided, and it was too late to respond or remedy. Fortunately, the other party didn't get any benefits, neither of them expected the emperor to make a sudden move, and Lu Ying, who was obviously far away in the border city and refused to return to Beijing, came back unknowingly, and directly pocketed the Xida camp that they were determined to win, and couldn't help but wonder if the emperor had premeditated.

No matter what, their desire to woo Lu Ying is even stronger.

But Lu Ying's weight, even coupled with the support of the future Zhongguo Gong, was not enough for them to pay attention to the establishment of Bai Poria as the princess, but because of his appearance, Bai Poria, whose identity and background were not worth mentioning, suddenly became similar to that of other princess candidates, so that they had to give up the decision to make her a concubine and reconsider the concubine candidate, so as not to chill the hearts of other supporters on their side.

Without the mixing of these two people, the others will be able to handle it very easily. The thoughts of the two princes, Lu Ying had already calculated them one by one when he visited the Zhongguo Mansion in public. can become famous at a young age, where can there be a simple character?!
