"Lord Jing...... What do you think?" Lu He smiled and did not answer the rhetorical question.

This is not the first time he has tested Jing Xiu, but it is indeed the first time that he has been so straightforward.

In private, Lu He and Yunlan have met, and what they want to do is actually very difficult.

Even with all the preparations, there is no guarantee of success.

If you have more allies, you may be able to increase your chances, but this will not be easy, and anyone who is determined to enter this game must have a determination to die.

If he were someone else, Lu He would not be so tempted, but this person is Jing Xiu, so he is worthy of him.

"Although it has passed Chinese New Year's Eve and spring has also begun, this wind is still very cold, and Jing is afraid that the wind will flash his tongue and take the first step."

As he spoke, Jing Xiu's footsteps were a little faster, and after he took a few steps, he stopped and turned his head to look at Lu He, "Lord Lu is no longer young, so he still needs to wear more clothes to avoid the cold."

With that, he walked away quickly.

Lu He was behind him, still maintaining the pace just now, and his hand in the cloak twisted, thinking about what Jing Xiu had just said.

"After Chinese New Year's Eve and spring, the wind is very cold...... What kind of dumb riddle is he playing?"

A gust of wind came out, just as Jing Xiu said, the wind was still very cold, Lu He shrunk his neck, and also quickened his pace, heading towards the outside of the palace.

Jing Xiu was in front of him, and he came to the entrance of the palace gate first, and met Yun Lan who had returned from outside the palace.

Among the civil and military officials in Dajing, only Xie Yangui can ride directly into the palace, and the rest of the people have to get off the sedan chair or dismount when they arrive here, and walk through the long palace road.

"Jing Shangshu." Yunlan saw Jing Xiu and saluted him gently.

Jing Xiu stopped and looked at the cloud leader who was now in charge of Gong Zhengji and the internal guard.

He didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, but if you were familiar with Jing Xiu, you would know that if he opened his mouth, he would not have anything good to say.

"Ouch, Jing Shangshu, what are you doing walking so fast?" Lu He stepped forward a few steps, as if he didn't see Yunlan, and squeezed him aside.

Yun Lan regained his footing and greeted him gently, "Lu Shangshu."

"It's the cloud leader, I'm really sorry, I patronized and talked to Jing Shangshu, but I didn't see you, but something?" Lu He turned his head and pretended to be surprised.

"If it's okay, I won't bother Jing Shangshu and Lu Shangshu, and I'll say goodbye." Arching his hand, Yunlan stepped away.

Lu He retracted his gaze and looked at Jing Xiu again.

saw Jing Xiu staring at him with a thoughtful expression.

"Lord Jing, you were really right just now, the wind is really cold now, go quickly, go to the carriage to warm up."

Grabbing Jing Xiu's arm, Lu He forcibly led him to his carriage.

The wheels rolled, getting farther and farther away from the palace gate, Lu He rubbed his hands and sighed, not looking at Jing Xiu, but talking to him, "I don't understand the dumb riddle you just now, it's better to be straightforward."

"What is the relationship between Lu Shangshu and Cloud Palace?" Jing Xiu was not polite, leaning on the cushion in the carriage and asked.

I have to say that Lu He's carriage is warmer and more comfortable than his.

"Old friends." Holding his hands together, Lu He looked at Jing Xiu with a much more serious expression.

Seeing him like this, Jing Xiu's sitting posture became more casual, "Lu Shangshu has thought about what you and I will play with Your Majesty tomorrow?"

The two of them have always been together, and on the second day, there will be something to show Emperor Mingde, and this time is no exception.

The two of them have been in the court for many years, even if the world says that Emperor Mingde is a benevolent monarch, but the two of them really know how deep this one's mind is.

Whatever you do, you have to think more about it so that you don't get suspicious.

They also know in their hearts that even if the two of them have something to do tomorrow, it may not arouse suspicion.

But you have to be prepared.

"The Feng family has fallen, and now the court and the central government are impeaching the three highnesses' foreign families, this matter is not worth discussing when the two Shangshu get together, it is better to ...... with His Majesty

Let's talk about the first prince."

Lu He leaned on the cushion behind him and said casually, "I heard earlier that the reason why His Majesty chose the Third Highness to sacrifice on his behalf was precisely because of the first prince."

"Since the court impeached the foreign family of the Third Highness, you might as well help their family add to the fire, especially remember that in the past, Concubine Shu's maiden family was a "good slave" in front of the first prince."

"It's a pity that this 'good slave' is like a mad dog, and he can't be raised at all, and in the end he learns to bite back." Jing Xiu had a cold face and took the words.

"Although the first prince died of illness back then, this matter has always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart, and if someone tries to move this thorn, His Majesty will not spare it."

At this point, the two glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

"Let's go back to the Fifth Highness, what does Lord Jing think of him?" Wei Yan discovered the anomaly of the Five Princes and informed Yunlan and Lu He.

After that, according to the instructions of these two people, he secretly stared at the five princes, perhaps he noticed that he had not made any major moves recently.

After Jing Xiu noticed the five princes, she also found someone to investigate.

But I didn't expect that one day, the five princes would send it to the door by themselves.

Emperor Mingde handed over the matter of the establishment to the Ministry of Rites, Jing Xiu, as the secretary of the household department, has been working hard for this matter recently, and the arrival of the five princes allowed him to observe this prince who was not in the fore before.

But he didn't observe anything, the performance of the five princes in the Ministry of Rites...... It does seem very honest.

But he didn't think that the fifth prince was a simple man, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to assassinate Lingyu's general Xie Yangui during the hunt last autumn, and was taught a lesson like that by King Ning.

Jing Xiu was a little suspicious, behind the five princes, there was actually another master to point out.

He informed Lu He of his idea.

"There is another master behind ......" Lu He thought thoughtfully, and he also agreed with this.

"Master Lu thinks that what will our Majesty do next?" For the time being, there is no way to know if there is a master behind the five princes, let alone who the master is, so Jing Xiu asked about the others.

"What's next...... Sitting on the mountain and watching the dog bite, our majesty is a man who can do it, not to mention that he is more than these two princes."

"Even if His Majesty is no longer in the prime of life, he is indeed not old, and he still has time to choose the right person to be the prince, if His Royal Highness and the Third Highness are abolished, he will either choose the prince of Concubine Lin, or simply choose the imperial grandson."

"As long as there is a choice, this dog-eat-dog thing will never stop."

If, as Lu He said, Zhou Yan and Zhou Yu were abolished, he would provoke other people to fight.

Obviously, in Emperor Mingde's opinion, if you want to sit in that position, you must step on a lot of blood in order to sit firmly.

And this is like raising Gu, in the end, only what is left can be the most qualified.

Speaking of this, Lu He looked at Jing Xiu again, "Who does Master Jing think will be able to sit in that position in the future?"
