"Right now, the emperor's brother has committed a crime and is destined to be demoted from the capital. Moreover, my father has been unable to sleep at night because of his position as the heir apparent recently!"
"I don't speak secretly. I'm looking for you today because I hope Shaoze can persuade the Duke to help me put in a good word in front of my father after he returns home."
Having said this, Wu An stared at Lu Shaoze for a moment and then continued:
"After the matter is completed, I will never forget Shaoze's help today!"
After saying this, Wu An stood up, bowed his hands and bowed, and gave an unusually solemn salute.
In fact, Wu'an is also in trouble right now.
The emperor's brother committed a crime and moved out of the East Palace. Logically speaking, the position of prince belongs to him Wu'an.
After all, those imperial brothers are young and cannot bear the responsibility.
But for such a simple matter, my father discussed it with all the officials for five whole days but still couldn't get it right?
How could he not be in a hurry?
He didn't know whether Emperor Wu was dying, but if he chose to establish the throne at this time, there was no doubt that he, King Rui, was the most suitable candidate!
But the reality seems to be different from what he thought?
It was precisely because of this that he was waiting for Lu Shaoze on the street today.
Mainly because in Wu An's perception, His Majesty only favored the Lu family.
If Duke Dingguo mediates at this time, his chances of winning will be greatly increased!
It is undeniable that Lu Shaoze was quite impressed by Wu An's frankness.
But kindness is really not worth mentioning in front of things like imperial power.
However, after Lu Shaoze thought for a moment, he decided to help Wu An!
At this juncture, if his father, the Duke of Dingguo, could speak for Wu An, the effect would definitely be there.
As for what the effect will be, it’s hard to say! !
Haha~
Thinking of this, Lu Shaoze also stood up and bowed to Wu An.
"Your Majesty, I can only promise to try my best, but I cannot guarantee whether it will succeed or not."
"Haha... Gu knows that Gu is not wrong about the person. Shaoze's words alone should be obvious."
Wu An laughed heartily, feeling really excited in his heart.
It seems that the previous show of goodwill is still very effective?
Success depends on people, and planning depends on heaven. With the great help of Duke Dingguo, isn't the position of crown prince within reach?
Even if he misses the chance in the end, if he establishes a good relationship with the Duke of Guo, he may not be able to join King Qin in the capital a hundred years later!
No matter what happens, you won't suffer any loss.
It can even be said that with the help of Lu Mansion, he, King Rui, has won half of the battle in advance!
Hahaha~
But just when Wu An was feeling happy, Lu Shaoze suddenly held up his hands and said:
"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, and Xianguan's father is a stubborn donkey. In order to avoid any complications, Xianguan will go home to persuade his father."
"Shaoze, why do you need to be in a hurry? I won't waste any time after I take care of you."
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be delayed. As for the reception banquet, it will not be too late until Your Highness gets what he wants in the future!"
The few words Lu Shaoze said were so righteous that Wu An really thought that the matter was settled.
Feeling secretly happy, he quickly stepped forward and patted someone on Lu's shoulder, and gave Lu Shaoze a reassurance.
"You will keep this in mind for the rest of your life. Gu guarantees you that when that time comes, your power will only be under Gu!"
Wu An said it euphemistically, but the meaning was already clear.
From now on, he, Lu Shaoze, will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
Don't tell me, this promise is quite tempting?
"Thanks to His Highness's kindness, is it not appropriate for you to resign as soon as possible?"
"Okay, if Shaoze needs anything in the future, you can come to see me, no matter what!"
"Then I would like to thank His Highness for his kindness."
After the words fell, Mr. Lu turned around and exited the private room, and immediately changed his face in one second!
The respect and flattery were gone, replaced by a look of ridicule.
Just chatting a few words is enough. As for eating with him, forget it.
After all, if you have this little time, wouldn’t it be nice to go home and lie down?
"It's okay if Duke Dingguo doesn't help. If he really ends up supporting one person, Emperor Wu will definitely think too much, hehe~"
"I just wonder if His Highness will hate myself in the future?"
Lu Shaoze thought to himself, then stepped out of the restaurant.
As for Wu An, who was watching him leave, the face of the imperial brother immediately appeared in his mind.
Being imprisoned in a dark dungeon, covered in blood, how miserable is it?
As he thought about it, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Wu An's lips!
"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial! You colluded with the traitors to seek death, but you don't want to end up getting an advantage in the end, right? Jie Jie..."
…
On the streets of East Street.
Lu walked through the vast sea of people, feeling the coolness brought by the spring breeze on his face, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotions.
He was not thinking about Wu'an, but thinking about what he had to face next!
The wedding is coming, and the war is not far away.
In such a short period of time, Yuzhou is definitely hopeless.
But how to do it?
"well!"
Lu Shaoze frowned in thought and unknowingly arrived at the Duke's Mansion.
Stopping and staring at the plaque of the Duke's Mansion hanging on the door, Lu's eyes gradually became colder and colder!
For the current plan, I’m afraid I can only delay it~
Drag, drag until Emperor Wu's funeral, drag until the new emperor succeeds to the throne!
He, Lu, didn't believe it. With his smart little mind, he couldn't wait until that time?
But I'm afraid that the old emperor Wu Huang will become a little bit crazy and do something crazy before he dies!
Then then. .
"Huh~ I hope I'm overthinking it, otherwise, we might end up falling apart!"
After taking a deep breath, Lu Shaoze immediately calmed down and returned home with a warm smile on his face.
"The villain pays homage to the Crown Prince."
"No gift."
"..."
"Meet the Crown Prince."
"Get up, where is my father?"
"Your Majesty, when I just passed by the backyard, I saw the master reading by the lotus pond."
"Okay, go get busy."
All the servants he met along the way saluted respectfully, and Lu Shaoze also greeted them kindly.
Not long after, we arrived at the lotus pond in the backyard.
At the same time, a tall back figure also came into view.
"The child pays homage to his father."
Lu Dingbang, who was holding the military book and looking at it with interest, immediately turned around when he heard the sound and joked with a smile:
"Hey, you little brat is back? Come here quickly."
"Old man, we are now the commander of the White Tiger Guards of the third grade after all. Can you please stop calling us like a little brat?"
Although he said this, Lu Shaoze still leaned over very obediently.
But what he didn't expect was that what he said so damningly caused his old father to yell at him!
"Hey, what's wrong with Zhengsanpin?"
"I'm still in the first grade. Besides, you're my son, so I can call you whatever I want!"
"Do you have any objections now that your wings are stiff?"
Lu Dingbang was so aggressive that he looked like he wanted to eat people?
What else can Lu Shaoze say about this?
Alas~
"Do whatever makes you happy, it's up to you."
My father still remembers the last time he framed him for going to the Red Mansion and being beaten by his mother. .
