When the iron mine was first discovered, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was abolished, and Yan Guogong was busy persuading him to regain his confidence and deal with a series of things that happened due to the abolition of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Lu Xun took the responsibility of the head of the family.

But after Lu Xun learned the news of the discovery of iron ore in the north, he did not report it to the imperial court, and he was reprimanded before because of this.

Because of the first emperor's dynasty, the country's fortunes declined, and the first emperor was a person who could fight well and had the talent of the emperor, so although he was the emperor, he also followed the soldiers to the front line to recover and destroy those forces who wanted to encroach on the country.

The series of measures of the first emperor were undoubtedly respected by the people who still had hope for the Fu Dynasty, so the first emperor could be said to be in response to all calls at that time.

But to fight a war, you have to have people who can fight, so in those decades, there were no scholars at all, even those who were sick clamored to practice two tricks, and then go to the front line to recover the country's lost territory.

Such a scene, in the first emperor's time, it was naturally a great thing, as far as the current result is concerned, at that time, it was also right to pursue the national policy of all the people to be soldiers, and now the national fortune of the Fu Dynasty is getting worse, and the people have the opportunity to recuperate, and the scene of wailing is no longer visible.

But for today's dynasty, most of the Manchu officials are military generals turned Wenchen, but it's not good, it's almost 20 years since he ascended the throne, and he has also recovered some military power, but like the Yanguo Mansion, Bian's like that, its military power can't come back, after all, during the peaceful period of the world, it is impossible to run to the border to guard the country like the first emperor.

Among them, the Bian family is okay, a large number of families are on the border, and the communication of the Yanlong family in the imperial capital has not made any achievements, but the Yanguo Mansion is not, the Lu family is the founding hero, how many years of the Fu Dynasty, and the Lu family has been guarding the plaque of the Yanguo Mansion for many years.

During this period, there were times of prosperity and decline, and after the military general turned to Wenchen, the Lu family entered a period of smooth development, neither glory nor downfall.

This also makes the Lu family have the hearts of scribes and soldiers in the past few decades.

In fact, this is not very good, if the Lu family has a clear mind at this time, when the people of the country need to recuperate, come out to provoke the imperial power, then the family will only have one Huangquan road to go.

And now that the crown prince has been deposed, the country is still unstable, and the young head of the Lu family of the Yanguo Mansion is determined to help the former prince to restore the throne, and he has made countless enemies in the court.

But at this time, they discovered the iron ore and did not report it to the court, so they would naturally be attacked by the court, whether it was a minister who was really worried that the Lu family had a disobedient heart, or a minister who tried to disturb the troubled waters to get rid of the Lu family first and then profit from it.

At that time, Lu Xun was almost dismissed and dragged to the Zhengyang Palace long ladder of the hundred officials to be punished, but His Majesty the Emperor received a letter from the former crown prince and the current prince, so he was exempted from punishment and was only ordered to go home and think about it.

After that, the iron mine in the north, His Majesty the Emperor sent another force in the court, the Yu family, to manage it with full authority, whether it was the Lu family who knew the existence of this iron mine first, or the Jin and Chen families who secretly poked and poked Lu Xun who already knew the existence of the iron mine, but did not report the matter to the court, they did not get any good.

After that, the wife of the Yue family in Suzhou made a big fuss about Gan Tang's sister's funeral, and then Gan Tang asked Mu Li to bring the evidence of the death of one person and two people in the longevity medicine shop, so that Lu Xun was able to breathe and give himself a chance to explain, so that the person who was dragged away by the dismissed official was replaced by a cane.

Gan Tang listened to Lu Xun's bland narration of the thrilling past few months, she couldn't help but want to beat him, "You, how dare you find an iron mine and don't report it, it's my grandfather who found a new water source in Xichuan, and a piece of grassland must be reported to the imperial court in time, and then change the map, don't dare to be perfunctory, do you know that you almost died!" ”

Concealing the iron mine, that is, Gan Tang is not allowed to enter and leave the court, and there are restrictions on the books she reads, and she also knows how big a deal this is from her grandfather's daily discussions, especially the Lu family still has political enemies in the court.

Lu Xun had just told the experience of the past few months lightly like an outsider, but now he was like a child who knew his mistakes, insisting on Gan Tang beating his hand, rubbing it carefully, and flattering him.

"Qingqing, I know it's wrong, I can't help it at that time, Wen Shu has just been deposed, and no one knows the reason why he was abolished, so even he himself doesn't want to say, the Jin and Chen families are eyeing him for his life, what can I do, the Chen family also has military power, if the Chen family gets the iron mine, they will come out of it, and those assassins who assassinated Wen Shu will have knives and swords."

"However, the iron mine is in the north, and the Lu family has an army in the north, that is, Your Majesty is afraid that the Lu family has soldiers and mines, and there will be a heart of disobedience, so at most, it will be the same as today, and the Yu family, who are all from Wenchen, will be sent to supervise it, instead of giving it to the Chen family, who also has military power."

"Qingqing, I thought it was wrong, I didn't know the reason why Wen Shu was abolished at that time, when I went to Your Majesty to ask for it, I just mentioned Wen Shu's name, and Your Majesty asked people to drive me out, I was afraid that Your Majesty didn't want Wen Shu anymore, and I didn't act calmly anymore, and I did a lot of ridiculous things."

Gan Tang was angry and distressed, Lu Xun and His Royal Highness the Great Prince have been reading and playing together since childhood, not to mention what will happen to the monarch and ministers in the future, at least for now, Lu Xun is willing to sacrifice his life for His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

"So at that time, your family asked me to come to Yan Long in a hurry to discuss family affairs at first, and then postponed it for a year to discuss family affairs, that is, you were afraid that once the incident happened, you would provoke Your Majesty's anger and be executed by Your Majesty?" Gan Tang asked sharply.

Lu Xun nodded weakly, admitting this thought, "I thought at that time, I was worthy of forgiveness, but I was going to burden you, you and I were given marriage by the heavenly family, if I died, you would not be able to marry in the future." I was scared and regretful, and I thought that if I were given another chance, I would not act like that, and I would definitely take every step steadily, protecting Wen Shu and you. ”

Gan Tang refused Lu Xun's embrace, shrank to the foot of the Luohan bed, and cried aggrievedly.

When Lu Xun saw Gan Tang like this, his heart immediately became a golden iron horse, and the soldiers were in chaos, he wanted to lead Gan Tang, but Gan Tang saw that he touched the corner of her skirt, so she pulled her skirt aside aggrievedly.

Lu Xun gritted his teeth, put his robe and knelt down in front of Gan Tang, "Qingqing, I was wrong, I really knew that I was wrong, when I was slapped by my father, I knew that I was wrong, don't be angry with me, you can beat me too, don't be angry with me." Lu Xun said, took Gan Tang's hand and greeted him in the face.

Gan Tang struggled, but in the end, he gently put his hand on Lu Xun's face, then took him into his arms, leaned his head on his head and said, "Brother Yi, I'm not angry that you abandoned me at that time, I'm afraid that you will lose your life when you are irrational, it's not worth it, I feel sorry for you, the court is up and down, how can everything be calculated, don't be irrational in the future, you have to protect yourself, you know." ”

Lu Xun leaned on Gan Tang's arms and nodded, and continued to inform Gan Tang of his affairs, "Qingqing, I was slapped by my father at that time, and I was sober, I wanted to protect Wen Shu, and I couldn't let myself have an accident, so I started to report the discovery of iron ore in the north of the imperial court, I just thought that I would arrange for credible officials to report to the imperial court first, and I would be one step away, so that I could work with the Mao family to control the iron mine, and not let the Jin and Chen families occupy it. ”

"I have no selfish intentions, and I don't want the Lu family to be wiped out by me. The second brother listened to me when he was a child, believed my words, I asked him to guard the iron mine, he guarded the iron mine, and now he has been removed from duty and detained in the North Military Camp Prison, I can't live with him, I'm afraid that he won't be able to enter the military camp in the future, I really have a long lesson. ”

In fact, about the iron mine, the Jin and Chen families already knew about Lu Xun's concealment at the beginning of this year, but because they wanted to get the power of the iron mine, they were also secretly poking and arranging officials, just waiting for Lu Xun to report to the court as soon as possible to report him, and then fish in troubled waters to reap the benefits.

I don't want to end up, His Majesty the Emperor did not give the management of the iron mine to the Chen family, but to a Yu family whose family is all scribes and Confucian students, and the old lady who has passed away in the Yu family was the emperor's teacher, and also taught the current His Royal Highness the Great Prince for a few years.

Lu Xun couldn't see clearly at that time, although His Majesty the Emperor abolished the crown prince of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, he never thought of taking his life, if someone dared to fight the idea of His Royal Highness the Great Prince's life, His Majesty the Emperor was the first to refuse, so he was blinded and did something wrong enough for him to remember for a lifetime.

That incident almost made him ruin the century-old foundation of the Lu family, ruined his marriage with Gan Tang, and ruined a force of His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

"So Brother Yi, did you go to the north this time because you wanted to bring the second brother back? He can't get into the barracks, what else can he do? After Lu Xun's reminder, Gan Tang found out that this time she really hadn't seen the little boy who loved to follow Lu Xun when she came to Yanguo Mansion as a guest when she was a child, or when people from Yanguo Mansion went to her house as a guest.

Lu Xun's second brother is one year younger than Lu Xun, but because when they were young, the family was in a turbulent moment, and the Duke of Yanguo and the Duchess of Yanguo didn't care much about them, so the two brothers, and a newborn little sister Lu Shangyin, the three of them can be described as difficult brothers, difficult sisters and sisters, so their brother and sister friendship is also quite deep.

"Idle at home for two years, and then go to General Fan's account to receive a spare position."

General Fan Jian is one of the many military generals who has not been converted into a civilian official, but the military power in his hands has long been taken back by His Majesty the Emperor, and now he is serving as the Minister of Guards in the Imperial Capital, in charge of the safety of the palace and the safety of the imperial capital.

Gan Tang looked at Lu Xun with a guilty face, and comforted him, "It just so happens that the second brother is not too young, in the past two years at home, he married his daughter-in-law first, started a family, first started a family and then started a business, what the ancestors said always makes sense." ”
