The days in Wuzhou are short but pleasant.
After a heavy snowfall in Wuzhou City, looking around from the top of the city, there is a unique sense of beauty.
There are green mountains outside Wuzhou City, but there is no trace of snow on the road from the city to the suburbs. Lu Ze took Wan'er and Dabao and a group of people to the village in the suburbs to hunt, barbecue and push Pai Gow. After being away from the worries of the world, he felt so comfortable. .
Lu Ze has been looking forward to this trip to Wuzhou since he was in Kyoto.
As he showed in front of Lin Ruofu, in fact Lu Ze was not as keen on court affairs as Emperor Qing. It was difficult for Lu Ze, who had experienced many baptisms in the world, to be interested in these things, but he admired those who could A person who devotes all his attention to something.
Just like Lin Ruofu who stayed in Wuzhou.
When in the court, he was as greedy as he should be, and even became the number one female prime minister in history. But when the Qing Kingdom experienced many wars and natural disasters, the former Prime Minister would work hard day and night to become the Qing Kingdom's Dinghai Shenzhen. .
Lu Ze admires his father-in-law's courage and personality very much.
After knowing that he could not stay in the court for a long time, he did not even put forward any conditions. He went to the palace to resign the next day. He turned around and entrusted the whole family to Lu Ze without thinking. He ran to Wuzhou in a blink of an eye. Come.
During this period, Lu Ze had a long heart-to-heart talk with his father-in-law.
The gains were not very great, but my father-in-law could still inspire Lu Ze in some aspects.
Everyone has a different experience with political wisdom.
What Lu Ze felt a little pity for was that his father-in-law, Lin Ruofu, had no intention of taking any risks towards Emperor Qing. Even Lin Ruofu was still wondering why Lu Ze was thinking so far ahead.
Although Emperor Qing's various actions over the years have proven that he is a monarch who loves to test people's hearts, especially those of his princes, if it is said that father and son will eventually turn against each other, then it will definitely not happen.
"Not that much?"
"Very good!"
Lu Ze smiled and did not tell Lin Ruofu some extremely shocking private news.
Lin Ruofu just didn't know how big Lu Ze's heart was.
Lu Ze's eyes have never been on Qingguo, or even the entire continent. His eyes are on the sky.
Lu Ze just felt that Emperor Qing, the great master, still had too many years to live, and he did not want to go through the so-called test every moment. Everyone had no feelings at all. It was tiring to pretend to be a loving father and a filial son. This was not as good as I took office early and became the chairman.
Although such a statement is extremely treasonous in today's dynasty.
Lin Ruofu looked at the strong confidence and calm demeanor on Lu Ze's face. He still looked extremely surprised, with deep curiosity and doubt in his tone: "Your Majesty is so confident that he dares to drive everyone opposite him. I guess it’s because of all the great things His Majesty has done over the years... And why does His Majesty have so much confidence? He even seems to have the confidence to do it all."
Lin Ruofu was optimistic about his son-in-law, but he didn't understand the source of Lu Ze's confidence.
Even for those powerful figures in Kyoto, the power in their hands was ultimately given by His Majesty, let alone the prince?
"secret."
...
Outside Wuzhou City, the scenery is pleasant.
All the villages in Dalian were named Lin. Lin Ruofu seemed to know Lu Ze's thoughts, so he had people take care of the suburban villa early. After the heavy snow, the villa was actually warm and pleasant. It can be seen that the daily expenses here are increasing. It doesn't even seem like a small amount.
Of course, this is only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge Lin family.
Lin Ruofu has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. The Lin family's mansion in Kyoto is as well-renovated as the royal villa. The Prime Minister can be regarded as having a good death, and Emperor Qing has no intention of letting Lin Ruofu live in peace. It would be too unreasonable for him to pay more for his resignation.
No one in the contiguous Zhuangzi came to disturb them.
Although at home, Wan'er and Dabao could still follow those
The Lin family's children chatted and had tea, but Lu Ze's status was too special.
After staying away from the real hustle and bustle, the couple was finally able to live a world of two.
After all, Wan'er was born in the palace and knew that such a life would not last long. There would definitely be more than one woman around Lu Ze in the future. She leaned in Lu Ze's arms and looked at Xiaolu's family of three drinking water by the thawed stream not far away.
I only heard Wan'er murmuring: "For a family of three, chili and barbecue are just right."
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Ze couldn't help but laugh.
After a long time, Dabao's slightly loud voice sounded in Zhuangzi: "Come and eat kebabs! Dabao's secret kebabs!"
...
"Let Dabao stay."
On the bed, Lu Ze whispered to Wan'er the whispers between husband and wife.
When I brought Dabao back to Wuzhou this time, I actually wanted Dabao to stay with my father-in-law and be Lin Ruofu's companion. Nowadays, the descendants of the Lin family are prosperous, but in the final analysis, there are not many people who can be considerate.
Wan'er shook her head, with a slight blush on her cheeks, which was even brighter than when she was a girl. It was obvious that she had just experienced something.
"I told my father about this today."
"But my father couldn't bear Dabao coming to this strange environment in Wuzhou to accompany him as an old man, so he asked us to take Dabao back."
Lu Ze looked strange.
This father-in-law really believed in himself. Even though he knew that there was extreme unrest in the capital, he still chose to let Dabao follow him.
Although Wan'er was already a young woman, she would sometimes be like a clingy kitten, habitually burying her head in Lu Ze's body and rubbing her.
...
"What do you think of the prince?"
In the palace of Qingguo, the ink-like night shrouded it, and the layers of palace eaves exuded a strong sense of indifference. The emperor of Qingguo, wearing this thin brocade dress, stood in the night breeze of Taiqing Palace, looking at Looking at the sparsely lit square in front of the temple, his expression was indifferent.
The eunuchs and maids serving around the Taiqing Palace quietly retreated to the surrounding areas early. The guards responsible for guarding were also careful to maintain a safe distance to ensure that their ears would not hear anything they shouldn't hear through the night wind.
Because His Majesty the Emperor was talking about unknown topics with his most sincere minister.
Chen Pingping, who was in the wheelchair, lifted up the old woolen blanket on her legs, and her thin body was completely curled up in it. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "His Royal Highness... He has quite the demeanor of His Majesty in his youth."
Emperor Qing's lips raised a somewhat sarcastic smile, his bottomless eyes that completely took in the thick night sky. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I was just the heir apparent of Prince Cheng's Palace back then. I did what I did when I was young. Apart from you, only Fan Jian and Prince Jing know about a lot of bad things going on in Hutu. It’s just that they no longer dare to talk to me like they did back then. Only you..."
Emperor Qing thought about the topic he had just discussed, spoke in a gentle tone, and continued: "The prince has made a lot of progress in the past two and a half years. He has done very well in all the errands I have assigned him. Fortunately, he has not completely inherited the legacy of his stupid mother. ..."
Chen Pingping coughed twice at an inappropriate time.
He was naturally not suitable to listen to Emperor Qing's various comments about the queen.
"The queen often stays at Hanguang Palace during these days, thinking about giving Cheng Qian another concubine."
Chen Pingping lowered her eyebrows, knowing the root cause of His Majesty's anger towards the Queen.
Not long after His Majesty the Great Emperor kicked out Lu Ze's father-in-law Lin Ruofu, the Queen was thinking about adding wings to the East Palace. She didn't even realize that His Majesty didn't like the excessive power of the Prince Yue's family, otherwise it would be How did the Ye family go to Dingzhou to train troops for the imperial court without the sacred scrolls of the past?
Emperor Qing certainly couldn't drive out all his father-in-law's family. The Lin family and the Ye family were already at their limit.
If it exceeds that level, the royal family will not look good.
It's just that there is a reason for the queen to act like this.
The Empress clearly noticed that Lu Ze
Her feelings for Wan'er were too deep, which brought a great sense of crisis to the queen, because the prince was her only support in this world. The queen noticed that her influence on Lu Ze seemed to have weakened a lot, and she He naturally attributed the change to Wan'er, his daughter-in-law.
Therefore, the queen had other ideas in her mind.
Chen Pingping's laughter was a bit sharp, and she soon covered her mouth and coughed violently: "I wonder which girl the Queen is interested in?"
The corners of Emperor Qing's lips raised: "The selection of the concubine of the East Palace is of great importance. The Queen Mother does not want anyone to take away the glory that belongs to Wan'er, but it is not easy to rashly reject the Queen's request. It is said that the final choice is... the Fan family's A woman."
Chen Pingping's cough became more violent.
Emperor Qing smiled and found it interesting as well: "The Queen Mother wanted to ease the relationship between the Crown Prince and Fan Xian. The two had a fierce quarrel in Kyoto at the beginning. Later, rumors about Fan Xian's life experience spread in the capital, and the Queen Mother I want to take this opportunity to get closer to the Fan family."
Although the Queen Mother hated the woman named Ye Qingmei very much.
But he didn't hate Fan Xian so much. According to this traditional old man, the blood of the royal family flowed first in Fan Xian's body, followed by that of the enchantress Ye Qingmei.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Lets see."
Emperor Qing pushed his wheelchair and walked along the corridor in front of the Taiqing Palace. The monarch and his ministers looked extremely harmonious, which made the guards waiting around feel extremely moved. Emperor Qing gradually laughed and said to Chen Pingping: "Why haven't my bones healed over the years? Isn't Chen Yuan's life extremely comfortable? But he doesn't seem to have gained much weight. Is it because Fei Jie is reluctant to take medicine?"
Chen Pingping replied softly: "Why are you wasting so many precious medicinal materials when they are all buried alive?"
"Your Majesty, please let go. I can't afford you to push such a crappy thing."
Emperor Qing looked calm: "Why can't you bear it? You have been with me since I was the heir to Prince Cheng's palace. You have served me for so many years, and you even broke your legs serving me. I push your wheelchair, so it doesn't matter. What?"
Chen Pingping seemed to recall those days, when the monarch and his ministers chatted about the past for a long time.
Emperor Qing sighed: "I was thinking a few days ago about when I could visit the old prince's palace again and go for a walk on the beach in Danzhou."
Chen Pingping knew what Emperor Qing meant, so she shook her head and said, "No."
His Majesty the Emperor is still the biggest gambler in the world. He wants to use himself as the most delicious bait in the world to lure the people in the world who want to kill Emperor Qing the most to take action. Such a feat is unimaginable to many people. Thrilling.
"Isn't this world a result of danger?"
The most powerful man in the world stood in front of the stone and jade railing, looking into the distance with a calm and confident expression.
Chen Pingping remained silent.
I just thought silently in my heart that someone used that thing called a gun to get rid of the two princes, so that your father and you could finally ascend to the throne smoothly.
Chen Pingping stroked the handle of the wheelchair and sighed: "The Junshan Society seems to be a strong organization, but in fact it is loose. It is just a gathering of powerful people in the world. To a certain extent, Lao Nu and Your Majesty can also be regarded as the Junshan Society. members, but how can His Majesty be sure that those two Grand Masters will really take action?"
Emperor Qing had obviously thought about this issue for a long time and replied directly: "Being able to stab me with a sword is the greatest temptation in the world. No matter whether it is the old bald donkey in Northern Qi or the idiot in Dongyi City, they will not give up this Opportunity, they know this is a bait set by me, but they have to step in."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
It's a good thing that Yun doesn't get entangled with other countries. It's probably impossible for him to take action. "
Emperor Qing's tone was filled with unspeakable confidence: "The Grand Master is also a human being, not a god."
"The soldiers are coming to stop them. Isn't Lao Wu still in Qingguo?"
The smile on Chen Pingping's face flashed away.
I was thinking, Your Majesty, didn’t you just ask someone to take action against Wu Zhu?
Now you are thinking about letting Wu Zhu deal with those two great masters for you?
The two people chatted about this matter for a long time. In fact, Emperor Qing has not really made a decision yet. After all, everything is on the line in this bet. The winner takes it all, and the loser gets nothing. The bet covers the entire world.
"I also want to take advantage of this incident to take a closer look at what these sons are thinking, whether the prince really centers on me, whether the second son dares to risk his life and take a chance, and Those in the palace and court..."
Chen Pingping didn't say anything, just thought indifferently, as a father, you don't pity your son, but you want your son to pity you?
...
As Lu Ze said, this suspicious emperor is always looking at people's hearts. Even though he has completely controlled the entire Qing Kingdom inside and outside, he still thinks about people's hearts. Go explore and see if it is towards him.
It's just that Emperor Qing has never heard of the other world.
People's hearts.
It cannot be tested.
