Lu Mingfei's name, everyone has naturally heard of it, but the commander of the guards has never seen him, and his words are unfounded, where does he dare to put Lu Mingfei into the palace without authorization.

As he was hesitating, he saw a convoy of chariots and horses coming from the palace, and he saw that the chariot was a group of ministers of the court and the central government passing by.

One of the people in the carriage poked his head out, and when he saw the situation outside the palace gate, he was immediately surprised, and without saying a word, he jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards the palace gate.

"Brother Lu, long time no see!"

The person who came was Cheng Situ, and when he came to the palace gate, his face was full of surprise, and he grabbed Lu Mingfei's arm.

"What do you see, let it go quickly!"

Cheng Situ scolded, and was about to introduce Lu Mingfei and the others into the palace, but he heard a low voice behind him.

"Wait a minute. ”

Looking back, I saw an old man in an official uniform, with gray hair and a very dignified beard, walking over quickly, with a serious face.

Cheng Situ hurriedly introduced to Lu Mingfei: "This is the prime minister of the dynasty, Zuo Qinyuan, and the left prime minister. ”

Then he looked at the old man and said, "This is Lu Mingfei and Lu Gongzi, I believe that Prime Minister Zuo should not be a stranger." ”

"I've seen Prime Minister Zuo. ”

Lu Mingfei took the lead in greeting, and the other party nodded at the same time and responded: "It turned out to be Lu Gongzi, the old man has heard about it for a long time, and today I am fortunate to see that he is really young and promising, and he has a dignified appearance." ”

"This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk about it first. ”

Cheng Situ greeted him, and planned to take Lu Mingfei and the others towards the palace, but Zuo Qinyuan stopped him.

"That's a bit out of order, isn't it?"

Cheng Situ's face was different, and he was about to say something when he saw Zuo Qinyuan waved his hand and said: "As far as the old man knows, Lu Gongzi should not have an official position, according to the rules, how can he enter the palace at will?"

Even Lu Mingfei felt a little helpless, but Cheng Situ's face was a little more displeased, and he said with a dry smile: "Doesn't Prime Minister Zuo know that this Lu Gongzi is the righteous son of Empress Fengxuan?

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zuo didn't give face at all, and snorted coldly and said: "If it is a prince, he can naturally enter and leave the palace at will, but the righteous son of this queen, there are no such rules in all dynasties, the old man is just acting impartially, and I hope that Lu Gongzi will not mind." ”

The inexplicable difficulties made Lu Mingfei not have a good impression of this seemingly serious old prime minister, but he still had to smile patiently: "I just want to meet Empress Fengxuan, I don't know how to let me into the palace without breaking the rules?"

Zuo Qinyuan frowned and said, "It's not difficult to enter the palace, just ask for the edict of the Holy Lord or the Empress." ”

"Then please ask Prime Minister Zuo to report it. ”

Zuo Qinyuan shook his head and said, "It's unfortunate that Lu Gongzi came

, There is already a will in the palace these days, Your Majesty and the Empress do not see anyone, and ask Lu Gongzi to leave the palace for the time being and wait patiently, as soon as there is news, the old man will immediately send someone to inform Lu Gongzi. ”

"What?"

Hearing that the queen didn't see anyone, Lu Mingfei felt a little wrong, and immediately reacted to something, if Queen Fengxuan was normal, how could she allow this old thing to be a blessing here.

After glancing at Yu Yingxue, the two immediately had an idea, and they had no choice but to break into the palace, with the skills of the two, unless Xiahou Lu appeared, I am afraid that no one could stop the two.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”

Just as he was about to make a move, there was suddenly another commotion in the distance, and then he saw the third prince Wei Fatzi being surrounded by a group of people swaggering towards this side.

Everyone hurriedly saluted, and the third prince came to Lu Mingfei's side with a smile on his face, still the same as before, not caring about his identity at all.

After a general understanding of the situation here, the third prince rolled his eyes at Zuo Qinyuan and said, "Prime Minister, this is my friend, I don't know if I can take him into the palace?"

"This ......"

Zuo Qinyuan didn't seem to be reconciled, so he heard Wei Fatzi say: "What about this, what if you don't have an official position, is it possible that you, the accompanying coachman, also have official positions?"

After snorting coldly, he didn't even bother to glance at Zuo Qinyuan, and walked towards the palace with Lu Mingfei and the others.

Lu Mingfei was a little curious about this Zuo Prime Minister, and asked casually as he walked: "What is the origin of this Zuo Qinyuan? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Cheng Situ explained on the side: "Brother Lu doesn't know this person is not surprising, Zuo Qinyuan has been the prime minister for many years, but he has always lived in a very low-key place, in the previous dispute between the princes, Zuo Qinyuan has always remained neutral, inconspicuous in the court, and then the two princes fell one after another, and the ministers who supported the two princes were also swept away one by one. ”

The third prince echoed: "This old thing is considered to be giving me face today, and in normal times, he doesn't even pay attention to me." ”

Lu Mingfei continued to ask: "As far as I know, the Great Jin Dynasty established the country by force, and holding military power is equivalent to real power, and this was indeed the case at the beginning, but I didn't expect that a civilian official can have such power now?"

Cheng Situ explained: "What Brother Lu said is good, but after the first battle of the Southern Wilderness, after the secret discussion between the DPRK and China, the military power of the Great Jin Dynasty was redivided, and the previous military power was too scattered, and it was difficult to condense effective combat effectiveness for a while, so that Nanxiang Pavilion had an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"Oh?"

Although Lu Mingfei is not familiar with military affairs, he is also a little curious.

Cheng Situ continued: "Now my Great Jin army is no less than a million people, but it is roughly divided into three parts, which are controlled by the dragon, tiger and leopard three talismans, and the most special thing is that no one knows who these three talismans are in now, unless a war breaks out, anyone who holds the talismans must not be easily disclosed, so that the military power branch of the DPRK has become foggy, which has made a group of civilian officials led by Zuo Qinyuan surface. ”

Lu Mingfei thought for a while and said: "Yun Dashuai already has heavy troops, and the first battle of the Southern Wilderness is even greater, it is said that at least one of these three talismans should be in Yun Dashuai's hands, right?"

Cheng Situ laughed dryly and said: "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but since the end of the war, Yun Dashuai has been ill, and it seems that he has the intention of removing his armor, so whether one of the talismans is in his hands is not absolute, Lu Gongzi still don't speculate about these, this matter is a taboo in the DPRK and China, and it is inevitable that the private discussion will fall into the mouth." ”

Lu Mingfei was just out of curiosity, and he didn't really care about the military power branch, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Is Empress Fengxuan still in Yuxuan Palace?

Cheng Situ said: "What Zuo Qinyuan said before is true, Empress Fengxuan did have a will not to summon anyone, and now it has been seven or eight days, I am afraid that I can't do anything about it." ”

The more Lu Mingfei listened, the more puzzled he became, and he wanted to ask, so he heard the third prince say: "Don't ask, let me tell you the truth, the queen mother is not in the palace now." ”

"No, where did she go?"

The third prince shook his head and said: "I only know that she went out of the palace some time ago, and it is not clear where she went, and who in this palace dares to ask." ”

"Where's Sister Yiyi?"

Lu Mingfei continued to ask, but Wei Fatzi still shook his head, not knowing what to ask.

Since Empress Fengxuan was not there, it was even more unlikely that she wanted to enter the dragon vein to visit Fu Caiyan, and Lu Mingfei suddenly found that he had finally entered the palace but had nothing to do, and he didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a while, Lu Mingfei said: "In this case, I will wait here for three days first, if there is no news, I will go out of the palace first, so as to find out some news, if the queen comes back one day, please bring a message to the Xuelier tribe, I will not be too late to come back." ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei just came and planned to leave, Wei Fatzi and Cheng Situ were stunned, and Cheng Situ then said: "Since Lu Gongzi is here, it is better to wait a little longer, the queen may come back one day, at least after the third prince's wedding, it is not too late to leave." ”

"Big wedding?"

This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to be full of surprise, and he looked at Wei Fatzi suspiciously, and said with a smile: "You are not slow to start, I don't know which girl it is?"

"This ......"

Wei Fatzi seemed a little embarrassed, and he didn't say why, but Cheng Situ said on the side: "Don't you know about Lu Gongzi? Speaking of this marriage, Lu Gongzi is a matchmaker." ”
