As soon as Lu Chen returned to the capital, he entered the palace to meet the emperor, and only returned to the house to repair after spying on the secrets.

The next morning, Li Xingren, the left minister, really made a difficulty, and asked the three divisions to interrogate the Jingjiang embankment, give the migrant workers who died in vain a truth, and give an explanation to the people of the world. Jinshan didn't stop it, but Lu Yiyuan's face was stiff, like crying and laughing, and the whole person looked like he was a few years older, and the high-spirited Lu Dudu at the poetry tea party of Huaihua Academy a few days ago was like two people.

Lu Yiyuan was sentenced to behead after the autumn because of his unscrupulous intentions, forming a party for personal gain, and stealing beams and pillars for fake public help and private interests, resulting in the collapse of the Jingjiang embankment, and hundreds of migrant workers were sentenced to be beheaded in vain. It's just that the three generations of the Lu family have a clear name and a scholarly heirloom, and it is sad and lamentable.

Lu Yiyuan was taken to the prison and awaited beheading. Lu Chen took Lushan Yunwu to see him. When he saw Lu Yiyuan, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, as if he felt that someone was coming, so he opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Lu Chen, he actually laughed, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, in the end, it was you who came to see me, I think I Lu Yiyuan was born in a famous family, and I studied hard since I was a child, I just wanted to be able to show my ambitions one day, but I didn't expect that it would be unfair to God to lose at the hands of a hairy boy from you!" ”

Lu Chen asked someone to open the prison door, and then ordered someone to carry the tea case and bring the teapot in, before sitting behind the case, and said to Lu Yiyuan, "Lu Dudu still hasn't understood, aren't you defeated by me." Not to mention my age, you did something wrong, I just found out the evidence that you did something wrong, and who is Lu Dudu's unjust posture now. ”

"Am I doing something wrong? What am I doing wrong? Lord Lu has a chic tone, I am not the only one who has done wrong in this court, why am I the only one on trial, but I am just a bullying of the weak and afraid of the hard to kill the chickens and monkeys, killing me to establish my authority, it is my honor, and I am seen by His Majesty the Emperor. Am I wronged? I have nothing to be wronged about, can the king and the minister die without dying? Lu Yiyuan sneered.

"I don't believe that Lu Dudu is not a smart person, and now in this court, the king wants the ministers to die, and the ministers can't not die? Isn't it Jinxiang? It is true that I sent someone to get back the bottom book of Xiu Granite collected by Lu Du Du in the Pan Liangguang area, but if there was no communication from an insider, Lu Du Du thought that this matter would go so smoothly? As for the exchange of letters for personal gain, if there were no insiders to oppose the water, Lu Dudu thought that the letters hidden in the courtyard on the outskirts of the city would be so easy to find? Even the evidence of stealing beams and changing pillars to shoddy ones, only the little guy around Lu Dudu should know where the evidence is hidden. Why, what do you want to do with this? It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, and the depth of Jin Xiangchengfu is very visible, and Jin Chengting, as his son-in-law, is naturally not a vegetarian. Lu Chen poured tea for the two of them, the tea soup was clear and translucent, and he also gave Lu Yiyuan a black and white distinction.

In the end, it is an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years, even if he has been ruined and in a Jedi, Lu Yiyuan also quickly grasped the point of Lu Chen's words, "So, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, what does Lord Lu want to do for His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Lu Chen is interested in Lu Yiyuan's cleverness, a little bit of it, but smart people also have the cunning of smart people, if you don't force him to the Jedi, it is impossible to recover "Lu Dudu is really a smart person, there are only you and me here today, I will be open and honest, since ancient times, the monarchy and power are mutually restrictive, but now the court and China are out of balance, and the governance of the world is unfavorable. I am afraid that the rash use of heavy canons will cause instability in the court and unpredictability, so it is necessary to think about it slowly. I have asked the emperor that as long as Lu Dudu is willing to serve the country with all his heart and suffer some grievances temporarily, then the death penalty can be avoided. ”

Lu Yiyuan's eyes tightened, he was thinking, it stands to reason that now that he is guilty, then no matter what conditions the emperor offers, it will be a good thing for him. It's just that for some reason, he smells the snare. But now, he can't make a choice, so he agreed without too much hesitation.

"A wise move, I wish our cooperation success with tea instead of wine." Lu Chen raised his glass and said to Lu Yiyuan. It's not that he didn't see the hesitation in Lu Yiyuan's eyes, but he naturally let Jinshan know that Lu Yiyuan had defected, so his loyalty would be the only way to save his life at that time. Besides, he believed in the choice of a wise man.

The two drank all the tea in the cup, and Lu Yiyuan asked, "Now that the three divisions have been decided, and the imperial approval of the Autumn Queen has been widely distributed all over the world, the lower officials want to know, in what way does Lord Lu want to exempt the lower officials from the death penalty?" ”

"Presumably Lu Dudu also knows that it is not difficult to exempt the capital crime, it is customary for the new emperor to ascend the throne and grant amnesty to the world, and the forgiveness of your crimes is only between the thoughts of His Majesty, since I am here today, then Lu Dudu only needs to try his best to protect his life in prison and wait for the will. Whether it can be reactivated depends on the sincerity of Ludutu. "This is the matter of Lu Chen coming back from Jingzhou to enter the palace and spy with the emperor, in fact, Lu Chen decided to let Lu Yiyuan go, also because although this person is attached to the flames, he has some talents. In addition, the evidence of the so-called crime of stealing beams and changing pillars was created by him, and even Wu Jing didn't know about it. Jin Chengting is still immature than his father, and as soon as he saw that this person was unusable, he immediately cut off his robe and fell into the ground, not thinking about the old days at all, so that this big drama of turning against each other and buying people's hearts was staged logically.

Lu Yiyuan knew that he had been wronged, but he also knew that now he was the target of the public, and he knew that Jin Shan and Jin Chengting had given up on him before he decided to interrogate the three divisions, and he knew that Jin Shan and Jin Chengting had given up on him, and he had always been impatient to communicate with those civil officials. It's just that now that the Holy Lord has decided to save his life regardless of his previous suspicions, whether it is to use him to deal with Jinshan and his party, he can only comply.

"The lower official understood, but he was on orders. The position of governor is ashamed, and Lord Lu can call him by his name. Lu Yiyuan figured it out, so he stopped swaying, he wanted to see how far these two young people could go.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, no wonder the emperor also praised Brother Lu's talent, even Miss Mingjun never forgot Brother Lu, I went to Guxiang Pavilion to drink tea before I returned to Beijing, and I heard Miss Mingjun ask Brother Lu. Brother Lu and take care of himself, there are also his own people in the prison, but it is too obvious that he can't take care of it. The amnesty order will be issued within a month, and someone will come to see Brother Lu with this word within three months, and then it will depend on Brother Lu's performance. Lu Chen dipped the tea and wrote a Gu character on the desk.

Lu Yiyuan leaned over to wipe off the water stains, and then said, "Understood, Lord Lu, please." ”

Lu Chen saw that he didn't say much, but he knew that he did understand, so he immediately got up and said, "There will be a period later", turned around and left the prison.
