Rong Guogong has always been contemptuous of Empress Dowager Wei, and this time he learned that it was He Er, the son of Yichuan, who inherited the unification, and Wei Haichi was justified in listening to the government, how could he be convinced? He first deliberately approached the king of Nanyang County, intending to ask from the mouth of this Zong Zhengqing why the clans let the Jin King He Ye ignore it, and were willing to let Wei succeed, but he knew that the king of Nanyang County ignored him and avoided him, so Rong Guogong had to get close to another auxiliary king, He Qi.

The two "hit it off" -

Empress Wen set up the Zongzheng Hall back then, although it was to avoid the suspicion of usurping the government, but also did have the sincerity of governing the country with the prince of the clan, at that time the clan was still prosperous, and there were more than a dozen adult princes, so even the prince of the county was actually not qualified to join the Zongzheng Hall, how can it be compared to today? Because of the rebellion of the kings of the Yingzong Dynasty, many of the clans were convicted, and then the heirs of Suzong and Dezong were thin, and there was only He Ye who was crowned the prince because of the prince in two consecutive dynasties, but he did not reach the crown, and he did not learn and did not know, although he retained a seat in the Zongzheng Hall, in fact, it was also because of the Empress Dowager Wei's insistence, He Ye obviously could only obey the Empress Dowager's orders, and it was impossible to really participate in court politics.

Among the kings of the counties, the king of Nanyang is obviously only a formal existence, and he is not willing to interfere in the government affairs, and the king of Yichuan is obviously the "Wei party", which makes it more and more that He Qi, the king of Ruyang, is alone, and after returning to his senses, he immediately went to the court because of the "withering" of the clan, and there are only a few people in the Zongzheng Hall, who are not in name only, and should be promoted to the government of the kingdom without exception, Empress Dowager Wei knew that He Qi was intending to consolidate the power, but since she left He Ye's life and allowed to be placed in the Zongzheng Hall again, it was to use He Ye and Yichuan to kill He Qi first, is not afraid of He Qi gradually sitting bigger.

Let those ambitious and ill-intentioned people expose their true intentions, which is more conducive to fighting all in one net and never suffering in the future, so the Queen Mother simply agreed to He Qi's invitation, so Zongzhengtang joined King Luo's many members who were only feudal princes.

Since the king of Ruyang has the right to speak in Zongzhengtang, the first person to target is Yuan Dezhi, and the Ruyang Party questioned that Yuan Dezhi is neither a member of the imperial examination nor a family of eunuchs, how can He De be in charge of Shangshu Province or even worship the prime minister? Coupled with Rong Guogong's timely surrender, the king of Ruyang strongly recommended Rong Guogong as Shang Shuling, and entered the political hall as one of the first assistants.

He Qi's move is obviously not only to fight for the right to speak in Zongzhengtang, but to infiltrate the power into the political hall, so as to achieve the purpose of fighting against the Queen Mother's party.

At the same time, under the persuasion of Rong Guogong, He Qi also agreed that he must win over Jin Wang Ye, it is best to instigate He Ye to have a gap with the Queen Mother, and even turn against each other in order to seize the throne.

So even if Rongguo Gongshang has not yet won the phase as he wished, Lu Rui has already listened to the order and acted to entangle He Ye, of course, he is not optimistic and confident enough to immediately persuade He Ye to defect, the intention is nothing more than to let the sensitive and suspicious Mr. Queen Mother take precautions, when He Ye is struggling or even life and death, it is not difficult to persuade him to make a desperate bet with Webster!

He also said that Lu Rui was originally a pampered gentleman, and this time he entered the palace to cry and mourn a lot of restrictions and fatigue, which simply made him miserable - his great-aunt Empress Dowager Lu was the grandmother of the Daxing Emperor, and his grandfather Rong Guogong was the patriarch, Lu Rui was the grandson of the long house, and he was the younger generation of the Daxing Emperor, so the 49th funeral must be participated in the whole process. Fortunately, seeing that many of the children of the clan bought the eunuchs to "add food" in advance, Lu Rui suddenly felt empowered.

The ancient rites stipulate that during the mourning period, the mourning should be a poor service, and the so-called punishment is not a doctor, and the etiquette is not a common man, such a strict funeral ceremony is actually not restricted to the common people, but the more noble families should be obeyed, but since the two Jin Dynasty, the funeral system has become more and more lenient, and it is impossible for the pampered nobles to do not enter the meat and bloody residence during the mourning period. There is a scholar who was born in a family but the family is in decline, because of the ten consecutive years, every grandfather, father, uncle passed away one after another, this son is to keep filial piety, and the sale of wealth should not be a business, and finally the poverty is to the point that the old age can not get a daughter-in-law, because the local county order heard of its filial piety, so it recommended the court, so without a test to get the birth, the official and the four products, not only to revive the family business, until now there are people who are happy to talk about their filial piety as a model.

In fact, this was originally a ritual that the children of the clan should follow, but because of the "declining world", there was an accidental person who followed the rules, and it became a model of "moral benchmark" in the world.

If He Yan is not the emperor, he is just a distant cousin of Lu Rui, just talking about blood and family affection, Lu Rui will naturally not mourn for him, at most he will offer a funeral and cry, but there are not so many "if not" in the world, even if Lu Rui is stupid, he will not act as a disrespectful act of the monarch's father, but seeing that many children of the clan can buy pastries and sweets with money and silver to comfort their stomachs, although those foods are not as good as big fish and meat, they are ten times stronger than vegetarian porridge, Lu Rui thought to himself that since the children of the clan dare to blatantly violate the funeral etiquette, It can be seen that the world is like this, and the royal family is not too strict, if you don't follow suit, won't you find guilt?

In fact, Lu Rui's thought was not stupid, if the royal family was really strict, how could the eunuchs have pastries and sweets to sell?

Although the Queen Mother is in charge of the funeral, and the funeral matters are completely entrusted to Zong Zhengqing and his wife, but after all, the princess of Nanyang is only a foreign woman, and the harem affairs have to be entrusted to the Xian Concubine Yuan, for the Xian Concubine, He Yan's death is beneficial to her - the emperor has never turned a blind eye to her, and the Xian Concubine has long cut off the heart of competing for favor, and her mind is only to please the Queen Mother. The little emperor is not stable at the moment, and he has been marrying a wife for a while, so won't the harem let her run rampant?

So the big profit "business" that served the princes of the clan and the royal relatives to cry and mourn and drink, and the virtuous concubine naturally had to monopolize it.

Lu Rui bought the eunuch, who happened to be the henchman of the virtuous concubine, the whole three hours of the day were full of crying and mourning, Lu Rui almost couldn't wait to return to the temporary residence, located in the Shaoyang Courtyard next to the province of Menxia, temporarily built a special yurt for the mourners to rest, seeing that the case has been prepared by the eunuch The food box, is about to feast, suddenly saw a woman open the curtain and entered, although she was dressed in plain clothes, but her face was like a peach, which made Lu Rui, who had not touched the woman for several days, suddenly coveted, but pretended to be serious, got up and asked: "Why is the eunuch here?" ”

This place belongs to the outer court, although there are eunuchs in and out, but rarely see palace maids, Lu Rui is a relative of the emperor after all, and he is not ignorant of court etiquette, and it is normal to ask this question.

Ah Lu saluted first and then replied: "I despise the people of the palace of Hanxiang, by the order of the queen mother, the king of Jin is passed to see, how can I not find it everywhere, I inquired and learned that Lang Jun and His Royal Highness are quite close recently, so I came to ask, I don't know if Lang Jun has ever seen the king of Jin?" ”

What is the special inquiry, it is nothing more than that Empress Dowager Wei noticed that she was close to He Ye and sent someone to test it!

Lu Rui naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to provoke this time, and got up with a smile: "I just heard earlier that His Highness seems to want to go to Zhaode Temple with Zhao Guogong. ”

"In this way, thank you Lang Jun for accusing me and despise my resignation." Alu turned around slowly.

Lu Rui took a step forward: "The eunuch stays, although the Zhaode Temple is forbidden, but it must go through the two access controls of Hanyin and Zhaoxun, although the eunuch is ordered by the Queen Mother, I don't know if it has a special decree of the Queen Mother?" ”

The palace maid was originally not allowed to enter and leave the previous dynasty, not to mention the funeral period, but because the queen mother was in charge at this time, Ah Lu would naturally have certain privileges as a palace member of the Hanxiang Palace, but the special decree of the queen mother was still required to enter and exit the ban, so Ah Lu had to tell the truth: "You must not go back to the Hanxiang Palace first, and then pass on the edict to the king of Jin after obtaining the special decree." ”

Lu Rui raised his eyebrows: "The Queen Mother should have important things to do with the King of Jin, and the eunuch will not be delayed when he comes and goes?" In the next wish to do this on behalf of the eunuch, the eunuch might as well wait here, it is cheaper. ”

Since Zhaode Temple was built in the forbidden area, it was a place for the emperor to worship the Buddha when it was cheap, and during this national funeral, the abbot of Zhaode Temple will naturally participate in the funeral.

But Lu Rui is obviously ill-intentioned, he only needs to be vague in front of King Jin, wouldn't he delay King Jin to see him in time, the Queen Mother will inevitably be more suspicious, and after he returns, he will add oil and vinegar to the palace people to say He Ye's disapproval, with this palace people fanning the flames, wouldn't He Ye be even more angry by the Queen Mother?

Therefore, Lu Rui was afraid that Ah Lu would refuse, so he hurriedly raised his feet and went out: "Ah Jian will wait here." ”

Of course, he never thought that as soon as he walked on his front feet, Ah Lu took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured the liquid into the porcelain urn, which was still warm and sweet.
