Chapter 107
Lu Desheng asked his daughter thoughtfully, "Daughter, there are not many ministers around the fourth prince now, and Xue Huaimin is the only one on the surface. Do you think we can -" He is not a very ethical person. He can serve the old emperor. The little emperor can do it too.
"No!" Lu Songli rejected his idea and said helplessly, "Dad, this idea of yours is very dangerous. Stop it now."
Lu Desheng sighed, he knew it.
Their family originally bet on Emperor Kang Cheng, and all their wealth and lives were here. Now that they have turned against each other and made peace with the four princes behind them, Emperor Kang Cheng is the first to get rid of them.
Emperor Kangcheng was a qualified emperor. He did not lack the emperor's unique suspicion and sensitivity, nor did he lack the cruelty and decisiveness of killing. As for him, as long as he shows a little bit of disloyalty, death is waiting for him.
But I’ve already seen the boat and can’t get on it, which is a pity. The key is that there are few people on board.
"Dad, do you believe it or not, if you go and tell the Fourth Prince or Zhongshu Ling Xue Huaimin about this, and alert the snake, his next step will be to kill you, or immediately start the plan in advance?" The plan has been laid out for several years. The harvest is about to come. Will Xue Huaimin and others be happy if they get on the ship now to share their achievements?
Lu Songli was very clear-headed. She had no choice but to make her family cling to Emperor Kang Cheng's thigh. Even though Emperor Kang Cheng now looked like a sunset industry that was about to be delisted, they had already invested all their money and changed their tune. It’s impossible.
"Why do you have to kill me? I am a talent after all."
"You are going to defect to someone, where is the certificate of surrender? What if the certificate of surrender is for you to kill the current emperor, will you do it?"
Lu Desheng shook his head, that was definitely not possible.
"Then let's tell the emperor?" Lu Desheng said. It seemed a bit of a loss to finally touch a fox's tail and do nothing.
“The idea is great, but where’s the evidence?”
Lu Desheng will let himself go a little bit now. He made random suggestions, and it felt good to have someone give him the full details and help him consider the feasibility.
Perhaps it was because his daughter was able to take care of things, so Lu Desheng didn't feel heavy at this moment.
If only Emperor Kang Cheng could live longer, father and daughter wouldn't have to work so hard. Lu Desheng once again lamented that Emperor Kang Cheng was not living up to expectations. It doesn't matter if he works hard, he just feels sorry for his daughter.
Lu Songli didn't take it seriously. What's not hard to do these days? Prosperity and wealth are not so easy to enjoy. It is difficult to earn wealth and even harder to keep it. Moreover, now their Lu family's foundation is very good, they have foresight, and they are qualified to fight against it.
"Dad, don't think about those crooked ways. We now have a great advantage. Next, we must actively respond. It is not certain who will win in the end."
At this moment, Lu Songli officially announced that the Lu family applied to join the battlefield.
When Lu Songli said this, her eyes shone with confidence, giving her old father unlimited confidence.
Lu Desheng also got excited. That's right. Next, it's up to us to see who is better.
Let's see if the Lu family can come with a mantis to catch the cicada, with the oriole behind.
"By the way, dad, it's the same as usual when you're getting along with the emperor these days, so don't show any weirdness." Lu Songli reminded.
Lu Desheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, dad will save it."
In this room, the wedding date of the Qin and Lu families has just been set, and the Xie and Zhao families are following closely behind. On the tenth day of the lunar month, the Xie family hired the Zhao family. Then the wedding date of Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan was set, and their wedding date was also set on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.
When the news reached the Lu family, Lu Desheng became dissatisfied. He clasped his hands behind his back and walked around the living room angrily, "What are the Xie family and the Zhao family doing?! Can't they avoid this day? Do they have to choose fifteen?" !”
Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi looked at each other. The Xie family and the Zhao family actually arranged the wedding of Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan on the same day. Such an arrangement makes it difficult not to think that they did not do it deliberately.
Jiang also didn’t understand why the Xie family and the Zhao family had to squeeze in with them when there were so many good days in the twelfth lunar month. And the Queen Mother didn’t give them a deadline! It's okay for them to hold the wedding after the new year, so why should they be as anxious as they are?
"They have to steal the spotlight from us, right?"
"Mom and dad, don't be angry, so as not to make yourself angry." Lu Songli comforted the two elders, so as not to make them angry.
In fact, there were many people getting married on the same day. The two elders were either angry that they were colliding with them, or they felt that the Xie and Zhao families did it on purpose. But they couldn't stop it, and Lu Songli didn't care. She was more concerned about another news coming out of the Xie family. Years later, Xie Zhan will officially take over as the head of the Xie family. This news came out after the Xie and Zhao families announced their wedding date. After Lu Songli thought about it, it was not difficult to guess their intention.
Xie Zhan knew very well that for a period of time, the Xie and Zhao families had joined forces and frequently failed in their battles with the Lu family. The atmosphere of both families was very low. They were in urgent need of a big happy event to cheer up their spirits.
When the appointment was made, he decided to let the Xie family and Zhao family release the date of their wedding together, and the news that after they got married, he would take over the Xie family and become the latest head of the family. As for why I chose the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, I just subconsciously thought it would be better to choose this day.
As soon as the two good news came out, it was really exciting. It's a new year and new weather, and their young master is getting married. Secondly, Xie Zhan is the head of the Xie family who has always been looking forward to. He has performed well as the young master. They are looking forward to the young master taking over and leading them to overcome obstacles and make life better and better.
In fact, there is a deeper reason: Xie Mingtang, the head of the family, has performed so poorly this year, which has caused great losses to the Xie family.
It's even worse for the Zhao family. Their uncle is about to change from young master to head of the family. The previous head of the family was the young master's father, so it felt like there was a layer of separation between them.
The Xie family and the Zhao family swept away their previous dejection, and their hearts united.
In fact, as early as when Xie Mingtang made his own decisions, causing Xie Clan to lose his position as Minister of Dali Temple, Xie Zhan had already intervened and made the final decision on the major events of Xie Clan. But on the surface, Xie Mingtang is still the head of the family.
When Lu Songli heard the news, she just smiled lightly. Xie Zhan is a qualified politician and has never lacked skills and brains. This decision is not surprising.
The Xie family can become a century-old family and remain standing for a reason. Xie Zhan even made full use of his own marriage for the sake of his family. His ability to bend and stretch is something that ordinary people cannot match.
After laughing, he couldn't help but sigh. The crazy output she and her father have been doing these days will at most cause more damage to the Zhao family. As for the Xie family, their damage was limited and their losses could reach one in a hundred thousand. They were really strong and enviable.
