Chapter 288 The ancestral precepts cannot be violated
Lu Yu had been away from the palace for two days, so naturally he didn't know if Sima Goshawk had flown back, so he said casually: "It's okay, I think Feiyan will be able to bring back the news tomorrow." ”
Ximen Expedition took a sip of the teacup, and then said: "I invited the military secretary tonight, there should be a letter from Jingshi in the next two days, and I have already arranged the matter of Jingmacheng."
I've made you the lord of a city. ”
With that, he stood up and took out a scroll from a cabinet on the table, "What's wrong?" Lu Yu asked.
Seeing that he looked worried, Lu Yu stretched out a hand, picked up the letter of appointment, and said with concern: "What's the trouble with the marshal?" ”
Ximen Expedition sighed and said: "Li Jin was seriously injured and died, General Ouyang Wenbi has been slowly controlling the Shenwei Army, if he unites the Shenwei Army and the Imperial Forest Army, it will not be a good thing for our Ximen family." ”
Lu Yu said casually: "Isn't this not yet extinction?" ”
Ximen Expedition's answer made Lu Yu slightly stunned, as if the battle was nearing the end.
He looked worried, and said: "In the past few days, our army has broken through the twelve cities of the Western Chu Kingdom, and the Western Chu Kingdom will soon be breached, but General Ouyang is a cunning person, and he actually let those disobedient iron guards and royal forest soldiers come first. ”
"The Ximen family has lost 30,000 elites, and they are also the elites who have experienced a hundred battles, this is nothing, Wang Li, the new monarch, is very ambitious, and he actually wants to include the entire Xichu in his bag, how will the Ximen family deal with him when the time comes?"
In the past, he was still distressed by the death of the ancestor of the Simon family, if he was really at the helm of the Simon family, why did he imprison the Simon family here?
Wouldn't it be better if he could be like Li Changshu and become a prince and own a territory, just need to make a show and accept the rule of the Yangjing Dynasty.
This Yangjing City, just like Kaifeng in modern Henan, is the hinterland of the Central Plains, so why not exchange it with the other six cities, instead of exchanging with Yangjingguo?
Seeing that he looked worried, Lu Yu hurriedly persuaded: "When he comes back tomorrow, you can think about how to deal with it then." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yu added: "If you want the emperor to move the capital in the name of Wang Li, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, this matter is related to the face of the royal family, it is better for you to ask the emperor for more money, give Yangjing City to the Ximen family, and then ask the emperor for six new cities, so that you can live a free and easy life like Ruiwang Li Spear!" ”
Simon Expedition sighed again, "I have already considered it, but the words of the old ancestor cannot be disobeyed. ”
Speaking of this, he added: "In every city, there will be several ancient families, with different strengths, to start all over again, or to eradicate them, one is inhumane, and the other is against the tradition of the Simon family." ”
Ancient people were very particular, and now that I think about it, the reason why the Ximen family has been able to control Yangjing City for a long time may have other ways in addition to strength, including morality.
If a person does not cultivate morality, then he will be despised, and it is obvious that the Simon family still values the reputation of their own family.
Lu Yu came to visit today to test whether the Ximen family knew about this matter, so he continued to boast to the Ximen expedition: "Dashuai, I think the Ximen family should be the same as the Ming prince and Li Changlan!" ”
Lu Yu continued: "The Ximen family can also choose six cities near the Donghao Kingdom to subdue those ancient families, there is no need to ruin their foundation for so many years!" ”
"What you said also has some truth, if the two of you get married, it will last for a while in the future, but no one knows what will happen, if one day, Yangjing Dynasty and Donghao Kingdom unite and annex the Ximen family, wouldn't it be simpler!"
Ximen Expedition said: "If it is the territory of the Ming Prince, then it is easy to say, but Li Spear's territory will be razed to the ground by Wang Li sooner or later, once the emperor dies, they will definitely make arrangements as soon as possible!" ”
Simon Expedition's brain is still very flexible, he has already thought of the future development, and also thought of the future development, in order to end this chaotic world, in order to avoid division, the only way is to dominate the world!
If it was in ancient times, Lu Yu would never talk about this kind of thing with Ximen Expedition, an emperor would naturally have more ambitions to occupy more territories, which is normal.
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Marshal Yuan Zheng, what do you think of this matter?"
Ximen Yuanzheng looked at Lu Yu, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "You bought the Baihualou, is the woman next to you also a disciple of the Divine Jade Sect?" ”
Lu Yu didn't use his mind at all to talk to the wise man, he immediately replied: "Concubine Li Niangniang has a letter asking me to buy Baihualou and give it to that woman, but I don't know if she is a member of the Divine Jade Sect!" ”
Simon Expedition sighed as he poured out all the residues from the teacup in his hand and replaced it with a new one!
"Steward Lu, Concubine Li asked you to buy Baihualou and give it to this young lady, did you ever order you?"
Lu Yu sent the tea cup in his hand forward, and Simon Expedition skillfully poured new tea for him, and then said, "You came here tonight, shouldn't it be for these two positions?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just to see your injuries, and also, you can go and find Concubine Jing!"
"Is that the woman with the ugly smile?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, he has been delivering news to Concubine Li in the past few days!"
"What kind of news?"
"What I'm saying is that in order to curry favor with Donghao Kingdom, Prince Ming bows down to you.
Also, Yin Jisheng said that he wanted to marry the third princess to Xia Xiaowangye, and I have already informed Concubine Li of this matter! ”
Ximen Expedition slowly picked up the teacup, and said with a solemn expression: "I know, I can talk to Yin Jisheng alone, what is the Ming prince going to do in Jingshi?" ”
Lu Yu said casually, and then said in a low voice: "That Yin Jisheng is very bold, he actually dares to say that the third prince is also a prince!" Or rather......"
Ximen Expedition waved his hand at Lu Yu and said, "I know, you don't have to say more!" Concubine Li, do you want you to pass on this news to the palace? ”
Lu Yu said lightly: "No, I just want to tell you this news, maybe it will be useful to you!" ”
Simon Expedition got up from the ground and paced around the room several times before asking, "Did you tell anyone about this?" ”
"No, only the two of us know about it!"
