The conversation with Lu Shangshu was very meaningful, at least through the other party's description, Lu Hanjiang roughly understood what kind of force he was facing.

To put it simply, a troublesome guy.

The trouble here is not how powerful the Chen family is in this cloud, nor how many supporters or collaborators the Chen family has, the key to everything is only that this is "their own people".

Although the family is not monolithic, it is a person who is in the same class and can recognize each other, which can be seen from what happened to the Qiao family after Qiao Shifang's death.

As accomplices, several thousands of families were unlucky, but Qiao Shifang, who was the main culprit, not only could the Qiao family behind him escape, but could even be taken care of as the family members of the martyrs.

This is the terrifying power hidden by the family, because everyone is their own person in a circle, so no matter what, you have to give some decency, after all, everyone else is watching.

It is obviously unrealistic to use the method of dealing with those Jianghu forces to deal with the Chen clan in Yunzhong, because this is very likely to hurt others and himself, after all, Lu Hanjiang himself is also a child of the family, and he also enjoys the benefits from the family.

As for agreeing to Yunzhong Chen's request and accepting their kindness to cooperate well in the future, Lu Hanjiang didn't think about it from the beginning.

On the one hand, he already has a considerable degree of confidence in the cards in his hand, and he does not need or need to get such a hot card again.

On the other hand, although Lu Shangshu did not express his position, from his attitude, Lu Hanjiang also saw that the other party's view of the Chen family was also more important than cooperation.

At this point, Lu Hanjiang has already made a decision in his heart.

"Your Highness, are you going out?" The doorman dressed as a scholar looked at the second prince in a strong suit, and his slightly dark eyes seemed to reveal a little disapproval.

The second prince was born tall and mighty, and he himself was quite good at martial arts, although it was not to the level of light literature, but it was not far behind.

"I know what you're trying to say, it's a pity that this king is going to disappoint you."

The second prince tightened the horse rope, and the black hooves and white horses under his crotch neighed, which made him wear a strong outfit and be heroic, he patted the horse's neck, and said calmly: "What is Jinyiwei going to do, this king is not interested, and he doesn't bother to know, you don't have to report this kind of thing to me in the future, drive ——! ”

The second prince flicked his horsewhip and rode away with three or five retinues, and today he made an appointment with a few good friends to hunt for archery outside the city, but he couldn't be late.

Seeing the figure of the second prince disappearing around the corner of the street, the doorman couldn't help but sigh, the second prince had a straight temperament, a righteous body, and there was no room for a little sand in his eyes.

Therefore, there is a great difference between this Royal Highness and several other princes, that is, he never buys the account of Jinyiwei, and even goes against each other many times.

Therefore, on weekdays, the life of this Royal Highness is not very smooth, the second prince's pure heart is as solid as a rock, and he always takes the world's major events as his own responsibility in his words, so he is very unaccustomed to the appearance of Jinyiwei in the court.

Although the Jinyi Guards in the court cover the sky with one hand, the world is so big that there are always places that they can't reach, and the second prince often rebels against the Jinyi Guards in these vague areas.

It is conceivable what kind of people will gather around such a highness, in a word, these are all extreme idealists.

The second prince and his supporters, from beginning to end, the goal is to "clean up the source", and their goal is not only the Jinyi guards who have the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, but also all kinds of officials who are not worthy of the position.

This doorman is a rare rational person in the camp of the second prince, he knows that in the current situation, it is unrealistic to completely leave the Jinyi Guard, this highness's ideal is too lofty and illusory, and no one will pay for him at all.

Therefore, he has always advocated repairing the relationship with Jinyiwei, and has been persuading the second prince to re-examine the Jinyiwei group, but his exhortation has not been taken seriously, and he is often reprimanded.

Recently, it has been rumored in Beijing that Jinyiwei is ready to support the four princes, although this matter is most likely a rumor, but it is groundless for no reason, and there is no harm in making preparations early.

It's a pity that the second prince didn't take his advice, and when the depressed doorman was wandering on the street, he accidentally bumped into Yang Shilang's son, so he hurriedly put away the depression on his face, changed to a gentle smile and stepped forward to salute.

"Young Master Yang, what a coincidence, where are you going?" The doorman asked.

"Huh?" Yang Zhiyuan looked at the other party in surprise, and after a short thought, he suddenly said: "I remember that you are by the side of His Second Highness."

The doorman hurriedly said: "In Shimoda Jun." ”

"It's Tian Gongzi," Yang Zhiyuan looked at the other party with a smile, and then suddenly said: "It's a coincidence that I met today, I said that this son is going to Jingshui Tower for a banquet, and the son has leisure, why don't you go together?" ”

Jingshui Lou is one of the famous restaurants in Beijing, the wine is fragrant and the sound is good, and the poetry will often be held to entertain some literati and scholars, so it is quite respected in the Shilin, Yang Zhiyuan went to such a place, and it was definitely not an ordinary banquet.

Tian Jun thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Tian to be so willing to give face, come, Brother Tian please." Yang Zhiyuan was quite happy and invited the other party to Jingshui Tower.

The two went all the way to the top room, and when the two came, there were already more than ten people in the seat, and when they saw Yang Zhiyuan, they immediately smiled and toasted to each other.

"Young Master Yang has arrived, please take a seat." The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he had a bit of the prodigal temperament of a drunken poet madman, his handsome appearance, and his wanton and free appearance, which made people a little unable to take their eyes off.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Zhiyuan bowed slightly, and then introduced Tian Jun behind him with a smile: "Please allow me to introduce Your Highness, this is Tian Jun, Tian Gongzi." ”

"Tian Jun?" The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately glowed with surprise: "You are the Tian Jun who wrote the "Flying Flower Order" in the Yueyue Tower, known as the 'Poetry and Wine Excellence'?" ”

Tian Jun had just the right amount of embarrassment on his face, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Highness is here, it's all a joke from a few friends, don't take it seriously." ”

"Haha, it's you."

His Royal Highness got up happily to greet him, he took the other party's hand and said: "This king has always admired Mr.'s talent, but it's a pity that Mr. always stays in my second brother's mansion and lives in a simple house, and it is inconvenient for this king to invite you to drink." ”

Tian Jun said with a little trepidation on his face: "I really can't afford to be like His Highness like this."

"If you can't afford it, you'll know in a moment today," said the Third Highness, and sent someone to bring two glasses of wine, and he drank them first as a respect.

Seeing this, Tian Jun smiled bitterly and had to accompany him.
