Chapter 263: Factions

Ruolan has been working diligently in order to make up for the afternoon's events.

When she saw Liu Tiankuo walking this way at the gate of the courtyard, she hurriedly turned around and ran to the inner room to inform Uncle Jiang Zhixia that he was back.

Jiang Zhixia stood up, looked at the missing moment, and converted the hour, it was almost nine o'clock.

"Why is it so late today? Have you had dinner? Jiang Zhixia hurriedly greeted Liu Tiankuo and asked.

"I stuffed it indiscriminately. Let the kitchenette cook me a bowl of noodles. Although Liu Tiankuo's face was tired, he still said to Jiang Zhixia with a smile.

Jiang Zhixia naturally made a loud noise to let Liu Tiankuo clean his noodles with warm water, and asked the small kitchen to cook noodles quickly.

She hurriedly went to the closet and took a change of home-cooked clothes and handed them to Liu Tiankuo.

Liu Tiankuo went behind the screen, changed into homely clothes, cleaned his face again, and took a sip of a cup of hot tea.

"In this weather, it's time to drink something cold." Liu Tiankuo said disgustedly.

It's summer in mid-April, and although it's not very hot, it's not as pleasant to drink hot tea as it is to drink it cold.

"You'd better take care of yourself. A wound all over the body. Jiang Zhixia said angrily.

After all, Liu Tiankuo fought on the battlefield before, and he suffered a lot of injuries, big and small.

Seeing that Chu Xiong's injuries often attacked, Jiang Zhixia could only take advantage of Liu Tiankuo's youth and hurriedly raise him.

Liu Tiankuo listened to Jiang Zhixia's words, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

After eating the noodles, bathing again, and sending all the subordinates down, the husband and wife had time to speak in detail.

"Why is it so late today? Listen to what you mean, it's not like the emperor left you for dinner? Jiang Zhixia asked.

When Liu Tiankuo usually returned late, most of them were left behind by the emperor.

At that time, the emperor would naturally give food, and he couldn't stuff it indiscriminately.

"Well, today is a normal value. Although it was a little late, it was not long. It's just that the man who went to inquire about the news sent me a message back. I went to listen and took care of a little bit by the way. ”

Liu Tiankuo said lightly.

The things to deal with have nothing to do with Zhixia, so there is no need to talk about it.

It can still be said that it has something to do with Zhixia.

"I know all the news you told me today that Song He told me. In the afternoon, I arranged for someone to investigate, and in the evening I went to implement it. Mrs. Lu doesn't need to think about it. This Lord Lu is from the second prince's faction. ”

Liu Tiankuo said lightly, but his eyes sank deeply.

Lord Lu is hiding deeply.

I only knew that he was promoted by a staff member in the Zhongwang Mansion, but I didn't know that he was actually the ancestor of the second prince.

I just don't know if the Zhongwang Mansion knows about this situation?

If you don't know, you can sell your favor...

The position of the City Patrol Guard, although it is important, is not a big grade. It's just a petty official of the fifth grade.

Therefore, everyone didn't pay much attention to it before.

If it weren't for Mrs. Lu bringing Grandma Li here today, he would have sent someone to investigate, and he wouldn't have known that Lord Lu was the second prince.

However, Mrs. Lu is out today, I'm afraid Lord Lu doesn't know, right? It is estimated that he will also blame Mrs. Lu.

However, he has thought of the words to deal with him for Lord Lu, it must be that Mrs. Lu is familiar with Grandma Li in her boudoir, right?

Also, Mrs. Lu's maiden family, Grandma Li's maiden family, and Lord Lu all belong to the second prince's faction.

No wonder they're all so familiar.

Jiang Zhixia was extremely surprised when he heard this.

The second prince seems to be only ten years old now, right? Only 10 years old to start a gang?

Grain

"As a prince, if you have that mind, you will start to form a gang after you are born. They're young, but the people behind them aren't young. Liu Tiankuo said coldly.

In any case, he is a descendant of ironclad, and he belongs to the faction of the prince, which is a natural relationship.

If you want to get rid of it, you can't help it.

Jiang Zhixia couldn't help smacking his tongue.

This is really, a simple life, no house fighting, no palace fighting, and about to start winning the heir?

Phew, now there is a grandson, what to take. They are the guardians of the same thing.

"This Lord Lu, since he is sure to be the second prince, it is not suitable for him to occupy this position again."

Liu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia's surprised expression, but said with a deep groan.

"You also understand the importance of the city guards. Now this Lord Lu is not only a person we can't woo, but also a person we are hostile to, so naturally we can't use it anymore. This position must be replaced by our own people. ”

Seeing Jiang Zhixia nodding in understanding, Liu Tiankuo laughed.

"However, it's hard to say who will change it now. I'll go to see my father tomorrow and talk to him in detail. ”

Liu Tiankuo said with a deep groan.

Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't ask much, anyway, she didn't understand the things in the court.

"You know what Grandma Li told me, right?"

Now that Master Lu's topic is finished, she talked about Grandma Li, who came to intercede today.

Liu Tiankuo nodded, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Jiang Zhixia.

Jiang Zhixia told Grandma Li's family about Ruolan's begging for revenge again.

"I now find that the Tian family is almost like a madman. In the past, Miss Tian had to ask for retribution for buying the grange. Today, this method is used against a subordinate. A serious official lady, how could she ask for a subordinate? ”

Jiang Zhixia said with a sigh.

Today's official lady is very face-saving.

It's not just the official lady, but even the man of the official family also wants to save face.

Otherwise, why would Grandma Li have to sell the grange for the dowry and use the money to support her mother's family?

Isn't it a group of industrious scholars who refuse to think of other ways to make money?

"The Tian family is a famous scholarly family in Linzhou. I really know how to read. Let them not be able to take the imperial examination for three dynasties, no wonder they are in a hurry. ”

Liu Tiankuo said with a smile.

It's true that he's the best at reading, and he doesn't know anything but reading.

Today's Tian family basically spends the private money of the female dependents.

It is also the generals who raid the family who are soft-hearted. When raiding the house, the female dependents were able to carry as much as you could, but they didn't go to search your body.

Therefore, the women of the Tian family were able to carry a lot of silver tickets and jewelry.

That's it, the men of the Tian family still sit at home and study, but let the female relatives in the capital run around and think about the fact that they were not allowed to take the imperial examination in the three dynasties.

"The matter of his family, you go back and ask Ruolan to reply to Grandma Li, just say that you have begged me, and I will also go to the side to ask the emperor." Liu Tiankuo pondered for a while and said.

"You're going to intercede for them?" Jiang Zhixia glared at him in surprise and asked, "Do you want them to be used for you?" ”。

"Hey, what's the use of those pedantic readers?" Liu Tiankuo said disgustedly.

He saw that Jiang Zhixia was puzzled, so he explained: "I see that when the emperor mentioned the Tian family for a while, he felt a little remorseful. It is estimated that someone on the second prince's side is blowing the wind. After all, the punishment of scholars is generally that three generations are not allowed to take the imperial examination, where is there three dynasties so long? If you don't get it right, the emperor will really change his mind and become three generations. I might as well join in the fun. I'll see whose favor the Tian family remembers at that time. In any case, the Tian family doesn't want to completely stand on the side of the second prince. ”

Don't you want to pick up the old ones and use them again?

I won't let you pick it up, I won't use it myself, and I won't throw it to you.
