News of the King of Shu's wedding spread throughout all counties, counties and capitals in central Shu.
And along with it came the shocking news that was destined to shock the world and shock the world.
Cao Changqing's sudden death made people feel that things in this world are so magical and unpredictable. Cao Guanzi, who had caused a stir in the world for twenty years and was regarded by the people of Western Chu as the totem of Chu in the post-Spring and Autumn Period, would actually die in Liyang. In the hands of the feudal lord.
Everyone in the world, even the traffickers and lackeys, all know the story of Cao Changqing entering Tai'an City dressed in Tsing Yi.
Cao Guanzi, who had experienced countless bloody storms since the Spring and Autumn Period, was buried in the brand-new Shu Palace. His head had been put into the mahogany square box and sent to the majestic Liyang Imperial Capital. Tai'an City, where the old officials of the Western Chu State gathered, would also become a sensation because of this incident.
Lu Ze has truly become famous all over the world now.
The wedding banquet that day went on as usual.
But the few remaining guests here have no intention of staying for dinner. Today they have truly experienced the ruthless methods of the young lord and the deep palace that is not like a young man at all. On the wedding day, they just With the last stroke of magic that cut off Guanzi Cao's head, he completely wiped out the many thoughts hidden in the hearts of everyone present.
As for those heads of aristocratic families who left early...
In fact, from the moment they left the palace, they crossed out their names from the list of His Highness the King of Shu. This would not cause them to retaliate afterwards, but at least the price these people would have to pay if they wanted to step into the door of the Prince of Shu's mansion again in the future. , must be heavier than those who have never left.
On the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, the beauty in my arms is as warm as white jade.
After the clouds and rain, the bride's face was filled with shyness, and the fatigue between her brows was undoubtedly clearly visible, but Lu Chengyan, who was leaning on Lu Ze's arms at the moment, still looked at the husband beside her with her big, bright, watery eyes. Thinking about the princely style he showed today, the Lu family woman who had never seen such unparalleled style in Qingzhou was so fascinated that her body and mind completely surrendered.
This is her husband, Lu Chengyan.
The woman pressed her head closely, and her sweat-stained black hair was also pressed against Lu Ze's chest. For some well-known reason, the bride Lu Chengyan's voice was slightly hoarse at this moment: "Your Highness, you have cut off that official Cao's head so openly Sent to Tai'an City? His Majesty has expressed his appreciation for Cao Qingyi more than once, and there are also those old officials of Western Chu who are above Liyang Court..."
Lu Ze raised his hand and slapped the woman's extremely proud buttocks hard, causing ripples to ripple and appear springy.
"What should I call you, Your Highness? I should call you Husband."
"Um...okay."
Lu Ze held his knotted wife's arm as white as a lotus root, letting the latter rest on his arm, and spoke softly: "Cao Changqing came to the palace to watch the ceremony today. First, he wanted to kill me as soon as possible. He The realm of the Confucian sage who was a land immortal was not fake, but he entered the realm of the Confucian sage in a hurry. Compared with Cao Qingyi's peerless martial arts talent, it was not as shocking. Secondly, this person Cao Qingyi already has a plan to restore the country. The plan he spent twenty years crocheting to restore the country is like a big dragon game on a chessboard. It has taken shape. This time he wants to use my The head will kick off the restoration of the Western Chu Kingdom."
Lu Chengyan, who knew such a secret for the first time, opened her mouth wide, and even raised her mouth in an even more exaggerated arc than it was on the bed and inside the silk quilt just now. Even this woman with a delicate heart was shocked and speechless. .
Could it be that the Central Plains continent, which has been peaceful for a long time, is going to be in flames of war again?
No wonder the ancestors tried their best to pull the Lu family out of the quagmire of Qingzhou and come to this extremely unfamiliar chessboard in Sichuan to start over. The ancestors may also know something and be able to vaguely see the distant future. .
Lu Ze took the hair that overflowed from the woman's forehead, curled it a few times with his fingers, and said casually: "Husband, I still want to use Cao Guanzi's great head to save someone in Tai'an City, but I don't know about this head. Whether it works or not.”
Lu Chengyan, who was curled up on Lu Ze's arm, asked softly: "Who?"
"A... scholar named Zhang."
.......
On the second day, the newlyweds got up very late. It was probably the first time in more than ten years that Lu Chengyan came to see his ancestor at midnight, but it was also the first time that he came to see his ancestor with her husband.
I saw the old man Lu Feiqi on the bed. He was very old, but he was still in good spirits.
Lu Ze only found out last night how generous the dowry that Shang Zhuguo of the Lu family had prepared for his great-granddaughter.
"The Six-Jead Bodhisattva hurried back to Landuo Mountain in a hurry, but after yesterday's great drama, I think the 20,000 elite monk soldiers can reach Shu smoothly. Although the situation in Nanzhao is not as difficult to deal with as the Nanman in the east, but Over the years, Shu has been living in a corner of the country, and Chen Yunian has not sought any merit, but no fault. The soldiers in Shu have not experienced battlefield killings for a long time, so I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish all their achievements in one battle."
Lu Feiqi naturally knew that Lu Ze wanted to stabilize the troublesome neighbors in the south of Xishu.
There are many dangerous rivers in Shu, and there are many wild streams in Nanzhao.
It is not easy to completely find all the major tribes hiding in the jungles and swamps of Nanzhao. Otherwise, the veterans of the old Western Shu would not have taken the Prince of Xishu with the pseudonym Su Su to hide in Nanzhao. Go, especially after Cao Changqing died in the Shu Palace, the mouse that originally wanted to hide might not even show its tail.
Lu Ze nodded: "Indeed, intelligence is the most important thing when marching and fighting. Especially after the end of the Spring and Autumn National War, the Liyang court's investment in this aspect can be said to be very huge. Zhang Julu, the chief assistant, is not Fu Confucianism is deeply aware of the importance of this thing, so even if Zhao Gou has been impeached by countless civil servants in Tai'an City over the years, he is still deeply rooted in the Liyang Dynasty, and the appetite of this gold-sucking beast shows no sign of shrinking. .”
Lu Feiqi instantly understood that the son-in-law of the feudal lord had already found his way to Zhao Gou.
I think the prince who came to Old Western Shu was already being watched by spies Zhao Gou.
"You were a little extreme in your behavior yesterday."
"Although I have used various methods to completely frighten the hesitant Shu nobles, after all, I first came to the Western Shu Territory to kill chickens to scare monkeys. This chicken has too many backgrounds. The head of Cao Changqing is not comparable to that of ordinary noble family heads. of."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Into uninhabited territory. "
Lu Ze nodded silently, knowing that this in-law ancestor was telling him that the real enemy of the Liyang Dynasty was still the one from the north.
"In recent years, Liyang's digestion of the Eight Kingdoms' heritage has almost completely ended."
"There is Your Majesty above the court, and there is Chief Assistant Zhang Julu among the ministers. As long as Liyang's monarch and ministers are united, no matter whether it is internal rebellion or Beimang, they can't do anything to the whole of Liyang."
Lu Feichi whispered his views on the general trend of the world.
At this moment, Lu Chengyan didn't know what she was thinking of. The woman's originally smiling face suddenly changed her expression. At this moment, Lu Chengyan looked at Lu Ze with extremely horrified eyes. Lu Ze patted the back of her hand, nodded and smiled: " The scholar surnamed Zhang that I talked about last night... is Zhang Julu, the chief assistant."
Lu Chengyan covered her mouth, feeling slightly dizzy.
The chief minister has great power in the government and the public, and is even called Wen Wudi in the temple. Opposite to him is Wu Wudi in the world, Wang Xianzhi. Why should such a pillar figure need her husband, the new king of Shu, to save her? Who in that towering Tai'an city can kill this Wen Wudi?
The answer seems to be ready!
Lu Ze then looked at Lu Feiqi, who had doubts on his face, and explained to the old man the undercurrent that had arisen in Tai'an City, and that its far-reaching impact was far greater than the death of Cao Guanzi. No one would Thinking that the emperor and the chief minister who were united in Liyang Chaotang had an inevitable rift, and this rift showed signs of widening.
"Perhaps only my father and the chief assistant know this matter."
"In these years, the Liyang Dynasty has been prospering internally. Countless scholars with real talents and knowledge have poured into Liyang's officialdom wearing jade. Zhang Julu, who was responsible for reforming the imperial examination system, has also won the reputation of being a common teacher among scholars all over the world. But in this kind of situation Under the circumstances, perhaps only my father could see the heart of the people in the world that was hidden under the reform of the imperial examination system."
"In each of the jurisdictions of the Nineteen Prefectures of Liyang, the number of children from poor families is still very few, and they cannot compare with the children of wealthy families. But if you compare it with before the Spring and Autumn Period, you will be surprised to find that the fundamentals of people from poor families entering officialdom have changed. The common people in the world are from poor families. A dragon gate has been erected in front of us. This gate still looks shabby, with no lintel, plaque, or banner, but it is a gate."
Lu Ze's tone was very calm, but both Lu Feichi and Princess Lu Chengyan fell silent. The princess just stared at Lu Ze blankly. These words had a huge impact on the woman because of the impact of Lu Ze's words. It even exceeds the changes that the so-called land gods can bring to this world.
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, the foundations of aristocratic families were destroyed, and none of the ten famous families in the Central Plains remained."
"Huang Longshi saw the weak green seedlings existing under the ruins, so he added fuel to the fire and wanted to completely change the general trend of the world before the Spring and Autumn Period."
"Now, Zhang Julu has opened the door."
There was an inexplicable look in Lu Feiqi's eyes. Although he came from a noble family, he also admired those poor people who had reached great heights by relying on their own abilities. The old man shook his head, and after a long time he sighed softly: "Within a hundred years, , those nobles from poor families who have reached high positions can abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers and wholeheartedly serve the emperor. But what about the nobles from poor families a hundred years later? The nobles from poor families have ambitions, and they dare to fight and rob more than the powerful nobles. Your Majesty and the leader The relationship between Assistant Zhang and Julu is a complete dead end. The head of Cao Guanzi can make Your Majesty hesitate for a moment, but the final outcome is probably difficult to change."
Lu Ze shook his head: "Not necessarily."
"Father, he...has not been in good health these past few years."
Lu Ze's last words completely changed the expressions of the grandfather and grandson in the room.
If the chief assistant and the emperor passed away successively, then with the current treacherous internal situation of the Liyang Dynasty and the powerful enemies of Beimang outside, the Central Plains Continent may not really fall into the war like that in the Spring and Autumn Period. Lu Feichi Only then did I know the fundamental reason why the young King of Shu did not hesitate to chop off Cao Changqing's head yesterday.
The old man's eyes flickered.
Is the young His Highness I chose... really capable of turning the tide?
.......
Of course, Lu Ze has no unfounded worries.
After breakfast, he took the wandering princess to the back house of the palace. Lu Ze didn't think there were many women around him at first, but now that they were together, he realized that there seemed to be a little bit more than 100 million. .
Rouge commented on Chen Yu who was at the top of the list.
The plump mermaid Wei Wei is holding the white cat Wu Mei Niang.
Murong Wuzhu has a charming smile, a well-behaved and soft nature.
Nan Huaiyu is tall and has a fierce temper.
Lu Ze, who looked very natural, took Lu Chengyan to meet the beauties living in the back house one by one. Chen Yu's attitude remained the same. This beautiful woman who decided to go to Shu with Lu Ze in Tai'an City, even though she often talked about Shu. There is no difference between the land and Tai'an City, but Lu Ze naturally knows what he is thinking.
Yu Youwei and Murong Wuzhu live together.
Lu Chengyan is obviously very interested in Yu Weiwei. The fight between women is no more peaceful than that between men. Our intuition tells us that Princess Shu, this plump woman with a figure that even women are interested in, is the real opponent.
Um...
Very moist.
