There was a sudden chill in the Xuanzheng Hall. After listening to Liu Xingyuan's speech, everyone felt shocked and frightened.
Liu Xingyuan saw this and laughed, "Don't worry, everyone, Marshal Lu is not an unreasonable person. I will also discuss it carefully with Marshal Lu..."
"Marshal Lu has arrived..."
When someone called Lu Zuo, everyone turned around to greet him. Seeing Lu Zuo walking quickly into the hall, everyone saluted and said hello in twos and threes. As soon as Lu Zuo stepped into the door of the hall, he also hurriedly returned the salute.
Liu Xingyuan stood in front of the palace, but did not come forward to greet him. When he saw Lu Zuo finishing the salute from far to near, the two of them clasped their fists and saluted each other. Liu Xingyuan suddenly changed his face to a kind one, clasped his fists again and said, "Marshal Lu, thank you for your hard work..."
Lu Zuo was also a little unhappy, "Why, colleagues from the former dynasty are here to gather together. What did His Highness say just now? Why is there silence in the hall now?"
Liu Xingyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Everyone was waiting for you to speak just now. Some ministers are afraid of being implicated because of Xun Yu and his son's rebellion. I said that as long as everyone is loyal together, Marshal Lu will not treat everyone badly..."
"There is no need for you to say anything, dear brother," Lu Zuo said, turning to face everyone, "Don't worry, as long as everyone works together and still performs their duties, everything will be fine."
After everyone looked at each other, they saluted in unison: "I obey the Marshal's orders!"
Cui Hao, the former Minister of Justice, came out and said: "Marshal Lu, as the old saying goes, a country cannot be without an owner for a day. Our top priority is to introduce a new emperor. Only in this way can we calm the hearts of the people in the world and shake up the world."
Lu Zuo's face was as dark as water, and others did not dare to answer for fear of making mistakes.
Liu Xingyuan was secretly happy about the current situation and did not say anything, wanting to see what Lu Zuo had to say.
Lu Zuo pondered for a moment and then replied: "The rebels have just taken over the capital. Everyone is busy with affairs, and the people in the city are also in shock. After the people's hearts are calmed down in the past few days, it will be up to the people of the world to decide."
After the morning meeting, Lu Zuo got busy again. He first took care of the funeral affairs of his younger brother and his family, and then left them to his wife and her brother An Shiqing to handle. Then he urgently summoned He Younian to Beijing, and promoted him to the position of governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. , and secondly, he can help with the funeral affairs of his daughter and son-in-law. Immediately afterwards, people were sent to reinforce the city wall and manpower was rearranged in various positions.
After two days of peace in the capital, Lu Zuo removed Meng Silang from his position on the grounds of leaving his post without authorization. Lu Manxi took over the position of General of the Jinwu Guard, and appointed his apprentice Yin Ji as the Commander of the Longhu Guard. General, Qin Fu is the General of the Yulin Guard, and military affairs will be temporarily handed over to Lu Xiuyuan...
On a moonlit night, in the study room of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Liu Xingyuan has been depressed for the past two days, but he doesn't know who to talk to. After all, after the death of his father, the Ning family's influence in the court has been completely wiped out by Liu Yan and Xun Yu. Now he has finally turned around. I wanted to place some of my cronies in the court, but I didn't expect them all to be replaced by Lu Zuo. Now all the important positions in the capital were occupied by Lu Zuo's people. It was really difficult for me to get the support of the courtiers.
Just when I was feeling depressed, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
"come in!"
The person who came was Meng Silang. After paying homage to Queen Ning, he got straight to the point and said, "Your Highness, all my positions have been removed. Marshal Lu won't even let me see my former subordinates..."
Liu Xingyuan raised his hand in despair, signaling him to stop talking, "I have no intention of having a dispute between the DPRK and China. Now the world belongs to Lu Zuo."
Meng Silang frowned and asked, "Is His Highness so willing to submit to others?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Liu Xingyuan glanced at him noncommittally, "What do you mean by this?"
Meng Silang slowly took out a sword from his waist. The scabbard was inlaid with various gems. "Does Your Highness still recognize this?"
Liu Xingyuan looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "Isn't this Liu Yan's 'Seven Star Sword'? How come it's in your hand?"
"When Liu Yan committed suicide a few days ago, he used this sword. They didn't know the goods, so I intercepted it halfway. This is an ancestral treasure of our Han Emperor. Now it returns to its original owner." Meng Silang said and handed the sword to Liu Xingyuan. .
Liu Xingyuan took the sword and looked up and down. He saw the golden hilt and the dazzling gems. He pulled out the sword and saw the cold light shining on the sword, which was really fascinating.
"This is a rare treasure, Your Highness, now is the time of turmoil. If it sinks like this, in a few days, it will be a foregone conclusion, and there will never be such a good opportunity again." Meng Silang pointed while talking. Pointing to the sword in Liu Xingyuan's hand, he said, "Only you, Your Highness, are worthy of owning this sword. Only you are the orthodox bloodline of the Han Dynasty. As long as you stand up, you will definitely respond to everything!"
"This..." Liu Xingyuan fell into deep thought, "Marshal Lu's power is pervasive. Not to mention that he has placed people all over the place. Even the rebels only take orders from him. As long as he wants that position, there must be many People support him.”
"Wouldn't that be easier?" Meng Silang asked, wiping his neck. "We only need to..."
Liu Xingyuan raised his hand and said, "Don't mention it again. He and I share weal and woe. I am grateful for his help to achieve today's achievements. How could I do such an ungrateful thing?"
Meng Silang knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Of course, Your Highness does not need to do it himself, just leave this matter to me."
After Meng Silang finished speaking, he walked away without waiting for Liu Xingyuan's response, leaving Liu Xingyuan standing there blankly with a blank look on his face.
Lu Zuo was very busy these days. His condition deteriorated rapidly and he vomited blood many times. The puzzled people around him were very puzzled when they saw this. Jing Jingruo and others repeatedly advised him to rest, but he turned a deaf ear and finished handling important matters in the court. , he re-selected and rebuilt the cemetery for his father-in-law, Pingyuan Bo, Anyuanshan and others. After He Younian came to Beijing, he first arranged to take office, and then asked Yin Ji to support Lu Renxiang's soul. Accompanied by He Younian, he took the ashes of his brother and sister-in-law back to his hometown of Lujiazhuang, Shanzhou for burial together.
After these things were done, Lu Zuo rested for a day. However, as soon as he lay down, he started to convulse the next day. After repeated attacks, he couldn't get sick anymore.
Fortunately, when Anjingruo moved her father's tomb, her uncle Mr. Shuiyue came back all the way. When Anjingruo saw the only uncle left in the world, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly. When they heard that her niece and Lu Zuo had become husband and wife, they couldn't help but Moved, he hurried to see Lu Zuo on the hospital bed.
Mr. Shuiyue felt Lu Zuo's pulse, then carefully looked at his pale face. He couldn't help shaking his head, so he stepped back and wanted to talk to Lu Zuo alone. Jing Jingruo's uncle shook his head and sighed when he saw the miracle doctor acting like this. He was so anxious and scared that he was not willing to walk away.
"My good niece, don't worry. Uncle will certainly have a solution. You can go down too. Uncle wants to have a few words with Gongfu alone."
Jing Jingruo turned around angrily and walked out.
Seeing Mr. Shuiyue's solemn expression, Lu Zuo couldn't help but ask: "It seems that there is nothing you can do for me, uncle?"
