"Hey, Jing Shangshu! Do you want to get in the carriage below?" After the dispersal, Lu He deliberately slowed down his pace than usual, and when Jing Xiu walked to his side, he turned his head and asked.

His tone seemed to be a little frivolous, but his expression was no different from usual, and Jing Xiu glanced at him a little inexplicably.

"Lu Shangshu, we don't seem to know each other that well." Responding lightly, Jing Xiu took a step to the side, separating herself from Lu He.

"Lord Jing, that's not what you said when you got off the carriage before." Lu He didn't care, eliminating the distance of that step.

"I really don't have to bother Lu Shangshu, I went out and took a carriage today." As in today's cold and freezing, identities like Jingxiu and Lu He have their own carriages.

"That's right." Lu He nodded, "It's not a secret, it's actually a carriage that broke down, can you bother Jing Shangshu to give me a ride?"

Speaking of which, in the end, he has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and Jing Xiu did squeeze through Lu He's carriage, no matter whether what he said is true or not, it is difficult to refuse.

"In that case, Lord Lu, please." After making a gesture of please, Jing Xiu quickened his pace slightly, and Lu He immediately followed when he saw this.

"How did the two of them come together again?" Behind the two of them, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu frowned slightly.

In his impression, as long as these two people walk together, there will be no good thing.

What others think, Lu He and Jing Xiu don't care, whether it is above the court or in front of Emperor Mingde, these two are neutral people who do not stand in line.

In other words, even if they walk in one place, most of them are for the affairs of the court, and they will not arouse the suspicion of Emperor Mingde.

This is the benefit of being a pure minister for many years.

Compared with Lu He's carriage, Jing Xiu's carriage was far less comfortable, his carriage was simply arranged, and the mats were as hard as his temper.

Lu He was stunned, reached out and pinched the mat, and glanced at Jing Xiu with admiration.

"Lu Shangshu, now that you are in the carriage, you can say whatever you want, but let me remind you, you and I are walking together, tomorrow in the court, you need to have something to say to Your Majesty."

If not, both of them would have to be secretly investigated by the internal guards.

"This is natural, I do have a song to return to Your Majesty tomorrow, and I will not hide it from you Jing Shangshu, the matter of my invitation is related to your princes."

Lu He said this, Jing Xiu looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"But before that, there is something I don't quite understand, and I ask Jing Shangshu to explain my confusion." Without waiting for Jing Xiu to speak, Lu He continued, "The ministers of the court and China all know that you and I are neutral, but only to His Majesty's pure ministers, now that the situation is like this, can Lord Jing change?"

"Not really." Faced with Lu He's inquiry, Jing Xiu didn't have any thoughts, so she opened her mouth to respond.

"In that case, that's easy." Lu He nodded, "Now in Kyoto, among His Majesty's princes, His Royal Highness and Third Highness all have their own real power, but His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness and His Royal Highness King Ning don't care about anything."

"Even if the two highnesses in the first place are more advantageous in the position of the East Palace, in the end, the fifth highness and King Ning are now adults, especially His Royal Highness King Ning has also become the husband of General Ling Yu, and this matter can be regarded as something that you and I facilitated." new

Jing Xiu's gaze always fell on Lu He's face, and he didn't react to what he said.

Probably realizing that Lu He was going to continue to go around in circles, he simply spoke, "Lord Lu, you just say it."

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Ning is not in Kyoto now, but I am afraid that after I propose to His Majesty, he will suffer." Lu He smiled and spoke, his attention was on Jing Xiu.

Not only look at his eyes, but even his hands and feet are in Lu He's attention.

"Lord Lu, is this testing me? Do you think I'm heading towards His Royal Highness King Ning?" Jing Xiu was really keen, and immediately pointed out Lu He's meaning.

"I have such an idea, in fact, if you think about it, when I asked Your Majesty to marry General Ling Yu, although you and I facilitated it, you were the original leader, and I just helped you push it."

"This time, General Ling Yu went to Qiannan, on the surface

There is no suitable person for the time being, so she is allowed to go, but in private, I am afraid that it is not so simple, otherwise how could the assassination be so coincidental?"

"In this world, there are coincidences, but there are not so many coincidences, you say yes, Lord Jing?" Lu He smiled.

"Lord Lu, you and I have been officials in the same court for many years, you must know that whether it is above the court or between the market, many things have to be exchanged, if you want to know my secret, you want to change it, are you sure you want to change?"

Jing Xiu's face also showed a smile, different from his previous image, and his appearance at this time looked a little unfamiliar.

The smile on Lu He's face deepened.

"It's just a few gossip, why aren't you upset? Lord Jing, your mat is a little thinner, I'll give you some soft cushions when I go back."

He smiled and diverted the topic, his secret was not suitable to exchange with Jing Xiu now.

But it can be determined that most of the stubborn appearance that Jing Xiu has shown over the years is fake.

That's where it gets interesting.

"Thank you in advance, Lord Lu." Jing Xiu returned to her usual appearance, looking a little mean and unkind.

After sending Lu He to the office of the Ministry of War, Jing Xiu instructed the coachman to go to the Ministry of Rites.

Although he didn't react to what Lu He said just now, his heart was churning.

Of course, he knew that Zhou Jin was not in Kyoto, and as for why this matter was hidden from Emperor Mingde, but it was known by Lu He, which made Jing Xiu think deeply.

After careful analysis, he was very sure that according to Lu He's temperament, it was impossible to really stand on the side of the eldest prince Zhou Yan, nor on the side of the third prince Zhou Yu.

Jing Xiu suddenly thought of the five princes mentioned by Lu He, and couldn't help frowning.

He didn't really have much of an impression of the Five Princes, and his most recent memory was in the paddock.

He knew that the five princes would be beaten and hung on a tree, and it was Zhou Jin who made a move, if he didn't want to make too much trouble, he was afraid that the five princes would die.

It is impossible for a person like this to be easily noticed by Lu He, there must be something right.

Thinking of this, Jing Xiu ordered again and ordered the coachman to change the route.

Behind Jing Xiu's carriage, following people unhurriedly was Wei Yan wearing a mask.

I thought that following Jing Xiu's carriage, he would see who he was contacting, but he didn't want the carriage to stop outside a grain farm.

Wei Yan leaned on the corner and looked at the plaque of the grain village, on which the huge words "Yufeng" were engraved.

With just a cup of tea, Jing Xiu came out of Yufeng Grain Village, carrying a few small cloth bags in her hands, as if she was really going to buy grain.

"It's time to buy food where I live, I'll buy some later." muttered in a low voice, and seeing the carriage leaving the gate of the grain village, Wei Yan followed again.

Unbeknownst to him, shortly after he had followed him away, several men dressed as men came out of Yufeng Grain Farm and scattered everywhere......
