But Lu Yuning understands that the official position obtained by relying on her grace is still different from the official position that Lu Simo obtained with real talent.

Lu Simo, as the only man in the third room now, will be the person who supports the court in the third room in the future, and if he wants to go far, he can't just rely on her, the sister who is a favorite concubine in the palace.

Of course, this is only if Lu Simo himself has this ability.

If Lu Simo himself doesn't have that ability, can't study, and can't take the road of scientific research, then he can only take the road of Yinen, but in this case, Lu Simo may be a petty official of four or five grades at most in this life.

When Lu Yuning was thinking about Lu Simo's exam, Tao was thinking about entering the palace to report the good news to Lu Yuning.

Lu Yuning met Tao two days later, and also knew from Tao's mouth that Lu Simo played well this time and scored second in the government exam.

Although he is not Xie Yuan, he still has a lot of limelight among the scholars in Beijing.

In addition to giving Lu Yuning the good news when Tao entered the palace today, the most important thing was to discuss Lu Simo's marriage with Lu Yuning.

Lu Simo is sixteen years old this year, and it is time to get engaged.

Dow thought about getting married to Lu Simo this year, and it would take at least a year for the three books and six ceremonies to be completed slowly.

If Lu Simo can pass the exam next year, then he will wait until he will get married.

If Lu Simo fails to pass the exam after next year, then get married first.

Lu Simo, as the son of the third room of the Hou Mansion, was not the best son-in-law candidate in the eyes of those noble ladies in Beijing, but Lu Yuning was favored in the palace, and Lu Simo himself was also angry, which made many noble ladies take Lu Simo as a son-in-law candidate again.

During this time, Tao participated in various banquets, and many ladies would mention the girls in the family openly and secretly.

These people who intend to marry the third room have two families of girls in their families, and Tao is quite satisfied, this time she entered the palace to tell Lu Yuning about the situation of these two girls, and see what Lu Yuning meant.

"The five girls in Luge's hometown, my mother has also seen people, she is good-looking, and her rules and upbringing are even better. There is also the second girl of the Gao family, who is delicate and has a pleasing personality, and is said to be very liked by the tall adults. ”

When Tao first said it, Lu Yuning didn't feel anything, but in the end, Lu Yuning couldn't help frowning.

Lu Ge is always the elder of the pavilion, although he is not the first assistant, but he also has a lot of say in the court, and although Gao Shilang is a servant of the ministry, Lin Zhuo, the secretary of the ministry, is old, and he has already retreated in the past two years.

Although the Marquis Mansion of Zhongyong is a Hou Mansion, after all, he was born as a military general, and the children of the Marquis of Zhongyong generally follow the path of military attachés, Lu Simo wants to take the path of a civil official, and marrying these two families can indeed make his future official career a little more open.

It's just that Lu Yuning felt that this was not the best choice, she thought about it and asked Tao: "Does my mother like the character of these two girls in the Lu family and the Gao family, or can the Lu family and the Gao family help their younger brother in their careers in the future?" ”

Tao nodded and said: "Yes, these two girls are good in themselves, and they happen to have a good family background, if Mo'er becomes an official in the future, both of them can help your brother, and more importantly, if Mo'er marries these two families, someone will be able to speak for you in the court in the future." ”

After the Marquis of Zhongyong handed over the military power, the Marquis of Zhongyong was idle at home, although there were also people in the court who were friendly with the Marquis of Zhongyong, but these people were all military generals, and they were not as useful as those ministers in matters related to the harem.

If Lu Simo marries the Gao family or the Lu family, then the Lu family or the Gao family will naturally stand on Lu Yuning's side in some things.

Lu Yuning didn't expect that Tao's choice of these two families had something to do with her, she frowned and asked Tao, "Mother, is this what you mean or what does Uncle mean?" ”

Tao looked at Lu Yuning and frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is this inappropriate? This is all my mother's own thoughts, my mother hasn't told Uncle Ling yet, my mother wanted to ask your opinion first, if you think it's good, let people go back and talk to your uncle. But if you think it's inappropriate, forget it, anyway, although my mother had this idea before, she didn't send a letter to the two families. ”

Lu Yuning heard Tao say that it was her own idea, she loosened her brows, and said to Tao: "Mother, I really don't think this is appropriate, my younger brother is now the time to study hard, I think it's better to put the marriage or something later, and it's not too late to wait for the younger brother to take the exam in the next year." ”

"And I'm very good in the palace, I don't need to use my brother's marriage to help me win over the courtiers, my brother's marriage is still based on his own wishes."

"But ......" Tao looked at Lu Yuning with a worried face and said: "Your uncle is idle at home now, and Mo'er is still just a little talent, even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, he won't be able to help you for a while." ”

"Mother......" Lu Yuning shook her head and asked Tao a question with a smile.

"Do you think the emperor is the kind of useless king who is at the mercy of his courtiers?"

When Tao heard Lu Yuning's words, she was startled, she stood up nervously and glared at Lu Yuning, then looked left and right, and saw that there was no other person in the room before she was relieved, and said to Lu Yuning: "You girl, dare to say anything!" ”

Lu Yuning looked at Tao's nervous appearance and pursed his lips and laughed.

Tao looked at Lu Yuning angrily and said, "You girl are still laughing?" ”

Lu Yuning put away her smile when she heard this, and said to Tao with a serious face: "Mother, I won't laugh, let's continue the topic just now, do you think the emperor is the kind of weak king who is manipulated by his courtiers?" ”

"You still say!"

Tao really wanted to go up and cover Lu Yuning's mouth.

Lu Yuning comforted Tao and said: "Mother, don't worry, Qingzhi and Qingdai are guarding outside, there are just the two of us in the house, and these words will not be heard by others." ”

Seeing that Lu Yuning was still waiting for her reply, Tao thought for a while and said: "The emperor is wise and wise, how can he be the kind of weak king who can be manipulated by others?" ”

If the emperor is really the kind of weak king who is manipulated by others, then the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will not be so happy to hand over the military power.

When Lu Yuning heard this, she said with a smile: "Since Niang knows this, then Niang should understand that no matter what the emperor knows, the emperor's mind is not something that the ministers of the court and the central government can easily influence." And with all the things that I have now, it is precisely because the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion behind me will no longer be a threat. ”

If she colluded with the ministers of the court at this time, what would the emperor think?
