Chapter 171: The Strange Chang'an

Lin'an, Chongguo Mansion.

Since Zhishi, Lu Wenhuan has been transferred to Lin'an, saying that he is here to recuperate, but in fact he is under house arrest.

There is the Song Dynasty, the restraint on military generals has always been strict, whether it is Di Qing who retreated from Western Xia during the Northern Song Dynasty, or Yue Fei who blocked the Jin Dynasty during the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was not in the glory of the time when it was suppressed.

Dogs have horns and are unnecessary, but they are ordinary operations.

Lu Wende is also well aware of this, and naturally has no intention of resisting, all his abilities are from the gifts of the Chengtian Palace, not to mention that his body is now affected by the curse, of course, there is no possibility of resistance.

Every day, Lu Wende only has to exercise or enjoy and play, and there is nothing else to do.

However, today, as soon as he returned to the mansion from outside, he saw the butler come up directly.

"Chongguo Gong. This is a letter from Yin Lu Wenhuan, the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture, to you. ”

"Is it Changshan? Could it be that something happened to Xiangyang?" Lu Wende's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took the envelope, and after sweeping the contents of the envelope, his face immediately showed a look of worry: "I didn't expect this situation in Xiangyang to be so dangerous?"

When the housekeeper saw Lu Wende like this, he was also frightened.

He opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know what I should do later?" Just looking at Lu Wende's appearance, he knew that he was afraid that something big had happened, so he wanted to ask what happened.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I have to meet the emperor in person. ”

Lu Wende clenched the envelope in his hand, his face was also white and red, worried about Lu Wenhuan in the distance.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenhuan raised his head suddenly, and instructed the butler: "You go and prepare a carriage, and I will personally go to meet the saint." ”

"Meet the Holy One?"

The housekeeper was frightened, he had never seen Lu Wende look like this before, and after the carriage was pulled out, he asked again: "By the way, Chongguo Gong, do you want to inform Prime Minister Jia? After all, if there is no Prime Minister Jia, I am afraid that I will not be able to successfully meet the official family." ”

"That's just as well. Then you can take my letter and go to Jia Nidao. If he had seen it, he would have agreed. ”

Lu Wende paused, hurriedly asked someone to fetch paper and pen, and after waving it on it for a while, he asked the housekeeper to send it to Jia Yidao.

I may not have understood it when I was in Xiangyang before, but since Lu Wende came to Lin'an, he has understood that Jia Nidao has relied on Zhao Xu's trust to do mischief, and the whole Lin'an has become the world of Jia Nidao.

After doing everything, Lu Wende also got into the carriage and asked the groom to take him to the front of the Qinzheng Palace.

As soon as he came here, Lu Wende suddenly heard a yin and yang strange voice.

"Isn't this Chongguo Gong, why are you interested in coming here today?"

Lu Wende glanced sideways, and his words were also full of displeasure, and complained: "It turned out to be Hanfu." You are looking for me today, do you have something you want to ask?"

The speaker is Liumengyan, because Lu Wende had hated Liumengyan decades ago, so Liumengyan has always held a grudge, and he has not given up until now, so when he saw Lu Wende appear here, he opened his mouth and mocked.

"You!"

Seeing that the other party answered smoothly, Liu Mengyan's face suddenly showed a little flush.

He originally mocked the other party, but he didn't expect to be retorted by the other party, but instead let himself be lowered by a position out of thin air, which made Liu Mengyan quite uncomfortable.

However, Liu Mengyan is not a fickle person, and after thinking about it a little, he said: "Aren't I concerned about your body?" After all, you were really injured because of guarding Xiangyang, I don't know how you are recovering now?"

"Thanks to the saint's care, my injuries have healed a lot. Lu Wende's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that the other party seemed to have something to say.

Liu Mengyan said again: "In that case, I don't know what purpose you came here today, didn't you hear that I am in danger now, so I want to emulate Lian Po?"

"Lao Ji is in wait and has ambitions. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. Although the old minister wanted to sacrifice his life for the country, this body was already decayed and could no longer be used. But if it can be used for one or two things, it's also good. Lu Wende said lightly.

Liumengyan's brows were furrowed, feeling that the other party was like a turtle with a shrunken head, and he couldn't say anything about it.

There was a shrill eunuch's voice from afar.

"The prime minister is here, and I ask you to stay away. ”

With the voice, Najia Rudao finally arrived, surrounded by eight guards together, and it was really powerful.

Looking at this scene, Lu Wende's eyebrows were furrowed with a little displeasure, just for the prime minister, this kind of treatment is too much. And there was a bit of greed in Na Liumengyan's eyes, especially when he swept over the gorgeous sedan chair.

The rest of the ministers also bowed down and saluted, as if facing the emperor.

Walking up, Jia Rudao met the eyes of the ministers or envy, or angry, swaggered to the front of the ministers, and before Zhao Xuan went to court, he had already turned to face the ministers and said, "Everyone. What happened to make us hold a court meeting?" Although his eyes were slightly closed, the hostility hidden in them was clearly revealed, making everyone present feel cold and afraid.

"Prime Minister Qiqi, it is that Xiangyang was trapped by the Yuan army and was in danger. ”

Although Lu Wende felt that the atmosphere was wrong, he also stepped forward and faced Jia Rudao's fierce gaze.

"Therefore, I sent an invitation, hoping to send a Yuan army to relieve the danger of Xiangyang. ”

"Is that all?" Jia Yidao chuckled, and his voice didn't seem to care much to Lu Wende's ears.

Lu Wende was even more surprised, and said, "That's right. His gaze swept over the dragon chair above, and his heart was even more confused: "According to the previous rules, in this early dynasty, His Majesty should appear so that he can listen to the opinions of his ministers." Why hasn't His Majesty shown up yet?"

There was a chuckle around him, as if mocking his words.

Jia Rudao looked impatient and complained: "Your Majesty overworked yesterday, so today's wake is over." As the prime minister of the court, I should naturally be responsible for managing the affairs of the government, and if you have anything, just tell me. Why bother Your Majesty?"

"What?"

Lu Wende was secretly surprised, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He hasn't been back to Lin'an for a few years, he didn't expect this Lin'an to become like this, what kind of ability does Jia Rudao have in front of him to be able to do this.

Despite this, Lu Wende did not give up, and said: "But the matter I reported is quite important, and I must tell Your Majesty." Otherwise, not only Xiangyang is dangerous, but also the Great Song Dynasty may overturn. ”

"Lu Wende. You don't want to be alarmist here, I have a prime minister in charge, where can there be these things?" Liu Mengyan interjected, and the disdain in his words was not concealed at all.

Lu Wende's face was furious, but he scolded directly at Liu Mengyan: "Do you know the importance of Xiangyang? Don't forget, you are a privy envoy, how can you say such a thing?"

The thought that the person in front of him turned out to be a privy envoy, Lu Wende was horrified.

The importance of Xiangyang will be understood by anyone who is slightly familiar with the history of the war, but in this position similar to that of the Minister of National Defense, it was occupied by a layman like Liu Mengyan, which really made Lu Wende begin to wonder what happened to Lin'an and why did it become like this?
