Lu Zuo heard the implication of Huo Yan's words. Although he was deliberately suppressing his emotions, he could still see the sarcasm in his words, so he smiled and said: "My mother is seriously ill, so I will naturally go back to visit, but the current situation is important. It is not that simple to resign and return to your hometown. I will ask Renxiang to go back for a visit first. If there is any problem, I will naturally rush back."
Although Chen Tuizhi was a careless person, seeing Huo Yan's tense look, he also knew the reason for Huo Yan's anger. He just felt that his elder brother was an unkind person, so he deliberately defended his elder brother and said: "Brother Huo, you Maybe you don’t know, but my senior brother is in poor health, and it is unimaginable for him to travel a long distance back to his hometown. At that time, before senior brother arrived in Shanzhou, he had already collapsed first. So I still let Ren It is also the best idea for Xiang to go back and visit first."
After hearing this, Huo Yan calmed down and said, "Then we have to set off tomorrow. The chief and the second chief have given orders, so there can be no delay in this matter."
Lu Zuo was anxious and helpless, so he had no choice but to tell Chen Tuizhi: "Back off, you immediately have someone notify Renxiang. As for how to report to the summit, you ask Renxiang to draft a report and submit it..." Lu Zuo He frowned for a moment and continued, "Send it to the Crown Prince!"
"Master..." Panting, Lao Pan ran to the hospital to report, "Marshal Gao is outside asking to see you!"
Lu Zuogang's stretched brows furrowed into furrows again, so he first told Lao Pan and Chen Tuizhi: "Old Pan, please invite Marshal Gao to the study. After you retreat, you first let Brother Huo rest, and then inform Renxiang to make an appointment. Come back when the time is right and tell Brother Huo and let them set off tomorrow.”
Even though the Anshen incense was lit in the study room of Lu Mansion, Lu Zuo was still restless and couldn't calm down for a long time. He was afraid of facing Gao Yun's various problems, but what could be done?
"Brother...Brother Lu..." Gao Yun was as fast as flying. He rushed from the door into the study room and knelt directly in front of Lu Zuo.
Lu Zuo was so shocked that the tea cup in his hand was knocked over. He hurriedly stood up and helped Gao Yun up, "If you have something to say, say it properly, why bother!"
"Brother..." Gao Yun was already in tears, "You must find a way to save my brother! You know, he was framed!"
Lu Zuo sighed again, his eyes filled with tears.
Gao Yun also saw Lu Zuo's helplessness, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it true that Huitian Panshu is here? Where is Prince Ning? He can definitely save my brother!" Gao Yun suddenly said, "Yes, Prince Ning It must be possible..."
"Brother Xian..." Lu Zuo grabbed Gao Yun who was about to leave. When Lu Zuo wanted to continue speaking, looking at his helpless and angry expression, he swallowed back the words of comfort in his heart. .
"Brother, I am only such a real brother!" Gao Yun sobbed almost hysterically, "Now... now only Prince Ning can save..."
"Good brother!" Lu Zuo said earnestly, "Brother Yu, why didn't you want to save your brother? But... oh..."
"But what?"
"But it is an indisputable fact that the Yellow River broke its banks. No one can save Gao Han, even if he is..." Lu Zuo's eyes were red and slightly excited, "Today's Holy Emperor..."
"Your Majesty?" Gao Yun lowered his head almost desperately and muttered to himself, then slowly raised his head to look at the roof with dull eyes.
Lu Zuo continued: "The Yellow River bursts its banks. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there must be something wrong, but the common people don't know. If some people really take the opportunity to build momentum and say that it is a disaster from heaven and want to overthrow the dynasty, then the people will be resentful and the people will rebel. , that would be a devastating disaster for the Holy One. If this is..."
"If this is a man-made disaster..." Gao Jun said with a hint of tears, "then it was Gao Han who cut corners and caused a catastrophe. The emperor promptly investigated and dealt with the corrupt officials and beheaded Gao Han in public to give an explanation to the people and stabilize the people's hearts!"
It was extremely cold on Lantern Festival night, and the bleak Xining Street seemed to be no longer as prosperous as before. Only the solitary lamps were wailing in the cold wind, and Gao Jun was riding a horse, his miserable back gradually disappearing into the night.
Lu Zuo, wearing a mink velvet cloak, stood in front of the mansion, watching Gao Yun go away, but felt inexplicably sad in his heart. At the moment, he couldn't care about Gao Yun. As for his revenge, he would definitely avenge him. , and very quickly. Lu Zuo was thinking about it, and suddenly he had mixed feelings. He remembered the scene when he and his younger brother Renxiang first came to the capital at this time last year. In just one year, a lot of things seemed to have happened, as if he was spending his whole life to... Experienced.
"Ms. sir, are you doing this?" Jing Jingruo also appeared beside him at some point and stared in the direction Lu Zuo was looking.
"The general trend is that the battle in the court is like the battle between tigers and wolves. Either you die or I live. What's more, Gao Han defected to a tiger and wolf like the prince. However, 'Misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on the back of misfortune.' This pair of Gao Han In fact, it may not be an absolutely bad thing!"
Jing Jingruo suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Zuo, "You mean, Gao Yun will not be affected by this case?"
Lu Zuo nodded deeply, "Well! Doesn't the emperor know that his brother was unjustly accused? Now that the emperor has used his brother as a sacrifice, based on my contact with the emperor in the past few months, he will definitely feel deeply guilty towards Gao Yun, so he will definitely Reuse Gao Yun."
At this moment, a carriage came speeding from a distance and stopped in front of the Lu Mansion!
Lu Zuo knew it was the driver of Xinghua Restaurant just by looking at the car!
Sure enough, it was Dai Heng, the accountant of Xinghua Restaurant, who got out of the car! Dai Hengxingse jumped off the carriage in a hurry and came to Lu Zuo in a few steps!
Lu Zuo cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Dai, come into the house and talk!"
Dai Heng waved his hand politely, "No need, I just want to send a message here!" Then he saluted to Jing Jingruo in an upright manner, "Little Dai Heng, please pay your respects to Your Highness the Princess!"
Jing Jingruo nodded slightly, "No need to be polite, you can talk!" Then he whispered to Lu Zuo, "I'm going back to the house first."
After Dai Heng saw that the princess had gone away, he followed Lu Zuo to the gate of Lu Mansion. When he saw that there was no one around, he leaned into Lu Zuo's ear and said, "Prince Ning has gone back. According to your wishes, he has been released." The wind has gone!"
Lu Zuo's stern eyes seemed to flash with a chill. He nodded coldly and murmured to himself: "Well... I believe this news will reach the emperor's ears soon." Then he asked Dai Heng, " Mr. Laodai, please tell the prince that everything will go according to plan."
Today is the Lantern Festival, and no one is having too much fun, not even the very popular Prince Liu Yan. Liu Yang had just seen off his Uncle Wang, and there was a hint of uneasiness on his brows. The reason why he hosted a banquet for Liu Xun tonight was to give his uncle a show of strength. Now that he has great power, it shows that His Majesty has great trust in him. He just happened to take advantage of this opportunity. During the Lantern Festival, he invited Uncle Wang to a banquet and demonstrated to him. But what puzzles Liu Yan is that tonight, Uncle Wang seems to be less tit-for-tat with him than in the past. On the contrary, Uncle Wang is still flattering him at the table. His behavior is completely different from the past. Liu Xun is acting abnormally tonight. The signs made Liu Yan quite uneasy.
