Seeing that Lan Yuan didn't respond, Jiang Yu didn't care. He tapped the table lightly, considered the words, and then said: "Speaking of which, this is what His Majesty meant."
When he heard the word "Your Majesty," Lan Yuan was moved and asked, "Stop being so pretentious, just tell me."
He now understood why his adoptive father didn't like others to show off. This feeling of waiting was really unbearable.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he was heart-wrenching. He had already thought about opening Jiang Wei's head to see what secrets there were.
Feeling Lan Yuan's eagerness, Jiang Wei secretly smiled in his heart and felt much more comfortable, saying: "Your Majesty once said that the adopted son is not his son after all. No matter how the reincarnation turns, the position of Duke Liang will never fall to the adopted son. superior."
"Yes, no matter what happens, it will never fall on me."
Lan Yuan's tone was a bit lonely. His adoptive father had his own heirs. If nothing unexpected happened in the future, the inheritance of Liang Guogong from generation to generation would only be passed on to his biological sons.
He has been working hard and planning for a long time, just for a title, even the lowest-ranking "uncle"!
As long as he can be hereditary, he can ensure that his descendants will always enjoy prosperity and wealth. For this reason, even if he changes his surname, it doesn't matter.
A man is capable of bending and stretching, and the opportunity to change his destiny is right in front of him. Give it a try, and you will be prosperous for generations!
However, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and various accidents have disrupted Lan Yuan's entire plan, just as the saying goes: when manpower is limited.
Lan Yuan's mind was racing with thoughts. He stretched his neck forward like an old turtle, his eyes full of hope, and said, "Is this really what your Majesty said?"
"How can this be false? Otherwise, why would I follow you all the way here?"
Jiang Wei smiled. He knew Lan Yuan had given in, so he became more relaxed and said: "Lan Yuan, the opportunity is fleeting. If you don't seize it now, you can only follow Liang Guogong and go to the underworld to love father and son." Deep.”
He didn't believe that Lan Yuan was loyal to Duke Liang. How could a person who was willing to change his surname for fame and fortune not have ambitions?
No matter how well you hide it, you can't hide your true intentions. Once you get the chance, this wildfire will burn violently.
Among the more than a thousand adopted sons adopted by Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, there may be some who are really bad-tempered, but they are definitely not Lan Yuan. In fact, most of the adopted sons are just for official career.
If Lan Yu is in the position of Duke Liang today, then they will worship Lan Yu as their adoptive father. If tomorrow the Duke of Liang changes someone, then they will worship that person as their foster father.
The bustle in the world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the sake of going away.
Jiang Wei looked at Lan Yuan and gave out the last important news, saying: "Lan Yuan, what you did cannot be hidden from the Jin Yiwei, let alone His Majesty. You thought you entrusted your son to your brother and sent him to study? Can you change your appearance and not be known by others? It’s so ridiculous, your little thoughts can be hidden for a while, but not for the rest of your life!”
This sentence completely broke through Lan Yuan's defense. He had a complicated look on his face and stared at Jiang Yu for a long time before sighing helplessly and saying, "Tell me, what should I do?"
"Go back to Duke Liang and act as our spy. If Duke Liang does anything, report it immediately."
"Heh, it looks like you want me to be your dog."
Jiang Wei smiled and said: "Not to be our dog, but to be His Majesty's dog just like us."
"Relax, I promised!"
Without much hesitation, Lan Yuan nodded. The conversation just now had already caused a huge change in his mind.
When thoughts change, behavior will also change accordingly. As long as there is a first time for betrayal, there will definitely be a second time.
He had complicated emotions in his heart. In the 16th year of Hongwu, he betrayed the long-established surname "Ji", became a disciple of Duke Liang, and became Lan Yu's adopted son. For this reason, he did not hesitate to change his surname to "Lan".
This can be regarded as bullying his teacher and destroying his ancestors, but he has no regrets. He is afraid of poverty, and he feels that having the opportunity to change his destiny is far more worthwhile than clinging to a worthless surname.
Now, he betrayed again, this time it was his adoptive father Lan Yu. For some reason, he didn't feel much guilt or fear in his heart, but instead felt a sense of excitement.
He suppressed this feeling. After the ropes on his body were untied, he moved his muscles and bones, then looked at Jiang Wei and said expressionlessly: "Can I leave?"
"Of course, please bring your stuff."
Jiang Wei smiled and pointed at the tokens and letters that remained intact on the table.
Lan Yuan silently put away his things, walked to the door, suddenly turned around, looked at Jiang Wei, and asked doubtfully: "Is your purpose really just to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards?"
As he said that, he laughed at himself and said, "I just hope it's not like the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird is gone and the bow is hidden."
Watching Lan Yuan leave, the smile on Jiang Yu's face faded, he rubbed his sore cheeks, took a nap, and then walked out of the room.
"Master Lu, please keep this matter a secret. Once word spreads, your life and mine will be at risk."
Lu Ren nodded and said: "This is natural. Brothers, you will also keep your mouth shut. If someone is gossiping outside, don't blame Lu for being ruthless!"
After admonishing the Jin Yiwei who participated in this operation, Lu Ren said sternly: "Xi'an Mansion has suffered a great change, His Highness King Qin has passed away. I really don't know what changes will happen in the future. As ministers, these days are the same for us. Walking on thin ice with fear and fear.”
Jiang Wei naturally understood the fear in Lu Ren's heart. King Qin died inexplicably. After a thorough investigation, no one related to this matter could escape. It was related to the majesty of the royal family. Even if he was innocent, It is also very possible to be implicated by innocent people.
It's just that he is just a small flag, how can he have such great ability to get involved, so he only said vaguely: "Master Lu, don't worry, no matter how you investigate this matter, you can't find the Jinyi Guards. The royal palace chief Shi Si has neglected his duty. They deserve this fate."
The two exchanged some pleasantries and then parted.
Jiang Yu originally came here on official business. Now that the work has been completed, it is naturally impossible for him to stay here.
Now that King Qin has passed away, he has a premonition that Xi'an will definitely become a terrifying whirlpool, and he doesn't know how many forces will be involved in it.
This is a game that belongs to the superiors. A small flag like him is just a mosquito in it and will be killed casually.
Therefore, it is a wise choice to leave quickly and return to Yingcai. If you continue to stay in Xi'an, God knows what will happen.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Jiang Yu thought to himself that although he was not a gentleman, he still knew how to assess the situation. The opportunity in Xi'an was not something that his level could seize. If he did not do it well, he would be broken into pieces.
As for Lu Ren, let him be. There is nowhere to escape in Xi'an. Whether the wind and cloud transform into a dragon or a handful of dust can only depend on God's will.
