The next day, inside the Yuanshan Hall.

In the meeting room, where there was only a father, grandfather and a group of staff, today gathered Lu Qi's family and Lu Zhi. Lu Qi, Li Shi, Lu Bingzhen, Lu Bingxi, Lu Bingzhen and Lu Zhi sat around a round table. And Lu Qi's second brother Lu Bei, who lived in the same Lu house, as well as the twin sons of Lu Wulang and Lu Liulang, did not appear in the Yuanshan Hall.

Lu Qi only felt cold when he saw it, the second brother was obviously close at hand, but he was excluded from this family discussion because of his low official position, this matter is related to the second brother's ambitions and ambitions for the rest of his life and even the death of his wife and daughter, in the eyes of his father, he is not even qualified to participate, so he can only passively wait for his father's arrangement.

It is true that His Majesty did not hesitate to put the Ji Dynasty in danger for the sake of power, and the Nuo Great Empire was crumbling, and his father was only slightly better than His Majesty. For Lu Zhi, any person and thing is a tool for him to continue the glory of the Fanyang Lu family as a family.

When he heard that his eldest sister Lu Yun did not die decades ago, but was taken away by someone, and married King Beidi under the push of his father Lu Zhi, his disgust for his father Lu Zhi and even Fan Yang's Lu family reached its peak at that moment.

Others were shocked by the news and were speechless for a long time.

"So father, you are actually betting on your sister's marriage. At that time, the new monarch ascended the throne, the Quartet was not convinced, and the future of the Ji Dynasty was unclear, so you chose the most powerful King Beidi as the target? ”

Son Lu Qi's aggressive question made Lu Zhi frown, "Qi'er, what do you mean by this?" Isn't it for the sake of the Fan Yang Lu family to be a father? Besides, it's your sister's own choice. ”

Lu Qi, who had already seen through his father's temperament, was not fooled by his father's righteous and strict words, he said coldly, "My son doesn't suspect that this marriage was chosen by my sister herself." It's just that, father, my sister will choose to marry King Beidi because the other choices you give your sister are more unbearable, right? ”

The air in the room seemed to be stagnant, and Lu Zhi looked at the eldest son in front of him with a cold gaze, and there was no warmth between father and son in his eyes.

Suddenly, Lu Zhi relaxed, he leaned back in his chair, and said lazily, "Then my father asks you, how should you deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's upcoming expedition for his father?" Tell me, how can the Fan Yang Lu family try to protect themselves? ”

Lu Qi choked, but Lu Zhi did not shut up, but looked at the grandchildren in front of him. He pointed his finger at Lu Bingzhen and asked, "Let Ah Rui just watch over the widow like this, and pray for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Rusu for a lifetime in his own Taoist temple?" He pointed to Lu Bingzhi and Lu Bingxi again, "Or let them work in this life and be a knife and pen officer?" “

Seeing his son's speech, Lu Zhi sneered, "It is my father's decades-long plan that has saved you the second half of your life of glory and wealth and realizing your ambitions." If you don't think you've done well for your father, then tell me what you would do if you were in the position of a father. ”

Looking at his son who didn't say a word, Lu Zhi didn't want to push his son too hard. He, the eldest son, has talents, ambitions, scheming, and wrists, but one thing is that his heart is not ruthless enough. It is precisely for this reason that Lu Zhi refused to intervene in his early years to help Lu Qi stay in Beijing, but released it far away, away from the whirlpool of power.

However, Lu Zhi groaned in his heart, it is also a good choice to return to Beijing now, and to fight for a wave of dragon merit before the new monarch ascends the throne, he can keep the glory of the Fanyang Lu family for the next twenty years.

And if the Fan Yang Lu family did not make the wrong bet, the crown prince would be a Ming monarch after he ascended the throne, and if the son's temperament and behavior were similar to His Majesty, he might be able to achieve a good story for the ages.

As for the subtle disgust of his son and granddaughter towards the family's unauthorized power, Lu Zhi didn't care at all. Of course, he cares about the future of the Fanyang Lu family very much, but he understands the truth of the gentleman's Ze for five generations. Lu Zhi felt that he could only think about the future of the family as much as possible while he was alive, and support a capable successor patriarch for the family, and as for what happened after his death, he had to leave it alone.

In the end, it was also in front of the eldest son's wife and children, and Lu Zhi couldn't say it too harshly. Seeing that his son didn't say a word and no longer refuted himself, Lu Zhi softened his tone, "What happened back then, you can wait until you meet Yun'er and ask her carefully, the most tricky thing now is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to take the royal conquest." ”

Lu Qi's tone was flat, even a little stiff, "Didn't my father think about it a long time ago?" Let my sister persuade the king of Beidi to attack Hulu Khan together, and then let the king of Beidi return to the Ji dynasty after the crown prince ascends the throne. In this way, you can make another contribution to His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is no need to worry about someone making a fuss about the prince's collusion with barbarians in the future to attack His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Regarding Lu Qi's cold and hard attitude, Lu Zhi didn't think it was wrong, but laughed out loud, "It's worthy of me, one point is clear." Lu Qi asked rhetorically, "Did my father think about this matter too simply, then the Beidi Wang Mama sat down to collect the profits of the fisherman, why bother to mix it up between the Ji Dynasty and the Hulu Khan?" “

Lu Zhi said conclusively that King Beidi must agree to this matter, and only after Lu Qi's repeated questioning did he smile and say, "Of course, because the current King of Beidi is your sister's child, your nephew, and your sister can completely influence his decision." ”

Lu Qi finally understood why his father was suddenly willing to let this daughter, who had been dead for many years in the eyes of everyone, appear in Beijing again, it turned out that her status had already reached the height of not caring about other people's opinions.

Seeing that he finally made his son through, Lu Zhi turned to look at his grandchildren, and overturned Lu Qi's decision a few days ago with a faint sentence.

"Tomorrow, the army of the imperial drive will be set off to the north, and what our Fanyang Lu family says is also the Yue family that His Majesty ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be sure of, and tomorrow they will all pack up and go to the Ten Mile Pavilion outside the city to see each other."

Lu Zhi turned to Lu Qi, "You have always enjoyed a clear reputation in the court, and you will be the same in the future, just do a good job in your ministry without arrogance or rashness." Now that His Majesty has lost his mind, don't provoke him because of something. ”

Lu Qi could only arch his hand, "Yes, father." “

Lu Zhi turned to Lu Bingzhi again, "Shiro, you are also reading your books in Lushan Academy, don't be in a hurry to take the scientific examination, now that the storm in Beijing is coming, you don't have much scheming, and at this juncture, you are in a hurry to enter the court, but someone has grabbed the handle." Qilang, you still ask for a shade pipe according to your father's idea, but you don't need to go to any remote places, I heard that Wang Qilang is about to go to Saiwai, so you go with him, but you can also make some contributions to persuading the king of Beidi. ”

Seeing that his younger brother could contribute to the family at this juncture, Lu Bingzhi was a little unconvinced, and wanted to say that he had grown up to share the family's worries, but because of his grandfather's deterrence, he could only respond with reluctance.

Hearing the words "Wang Family Qilang", Lu Qi looked up at his father Lu Zhi, and felt a little sad in his heart, "Father specially selected Wang Family Qilang's mission, that is, even Wang Family Qilang's admiration for his daughter A Rui has to be used." Ashi can't study, he can only take the path of military exploits, and he really deserves to be his father. ”

Just thinking about it, Lu Qi heard Lu Zhi say to Ah Rui and Yan Yuese, "Ah Rui, after sending off the prince tomorrow, you will go to the palace to accompany the queen mother more often." She is the biological mother of the prince, and her parents and children will definitely be worried when they go out, so you remember to deepen your relationship with her. ”

Lu Bingzhen bowed his head and said, "I know, grandfather." Lu Zhi was always satisfied with this informed granddaughter, and without saying much, he turned to the last person present.

"Lee." "My daughter-in-law is here."

"You've always done a good job of taking care of housework, Jia'er and Jia's wife, I didn't misunderstand you back then. It's just that there's one more thing you need to do right now. ”

Lu Zhi paused slightly, and then said, "That's Wu Niang's marriage." I promised her to the youngest son of General Dou who killed the enemy with Qi'er in Xuanhua City on the border. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised.

The named Li hesitated, "Father, General Dou is indeed a general with the talent of a general. But he came from a humble background, and he had no relatives to help him, so he was afraid that he would end up being a general. Even if he is lucky enough to get a knighthood, his young son will not be able to attack the knighthood, Wu Niang is the lady of the Fanyang Lu family, is it too low to marry? ”

Li had already learned from Mama Feng what the five ladies did on the day of Ah Rui's birthday banquet, and she didn't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really heard something that was easy to misunderstand, lest Ah Rui would be rubbed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future because of this matter. Because of this, the Li family has long hated the poisonous five ladies, who cares if she is low-married.

Today, the Li family has this question, but it is just to clear up the relationship. In the future, if the father and son regret marrying Wu Niang low, they can't blame her. She had already been persuaded with great painstaking efforts.

"It's not a low marriage, and the things of that year are thanks to General Dou's tight-lipped mouth. Now that Wu Niang is acting more and more unruly, letting her marry far away and go to Xuanhua City is the best choice for Fan Yanglu's family and herself. General Dou has a low background but acts in a measured manner, and he will not let Wu Niang make a big mess. ”

There is another consideration, which Lu Zhi did not say. That is, if Wu Niang is married to someone else's family, it is difficult to guarantee that the family will not one day threaten the Fan Yang Lu family with the incident of Xuanhua City in the future. But General Dou's family can guarantee that it will not be at all, if Wu Niang has this thought. General Dou will crush Wu Niang's mind to death as soon as possible.

Seeing that his father-in-law insisted on this, Li no longer persuaded him, but just looked at her husband for a while and then nodded to the matter. "The daughter-in-law there must handle this matter properly and well, and marry Wu Niang in a beautiful manner."

Seeing that the matter was over, Lu Zhi did not drag his feet, and waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Tonight, there is almost no one in the Lu family who sleeps all night, they are all tossing and turning, and they have no sleep all night.
