Chang'an City, Lu Family
On this day, Lu Desheng received two letters, which were sent through the inn.
One of the letters was clearly his younger son's handwriting. He put the younger son's letter aside and was not in a hurry to open it. When he saw the other letter, he saw it was from Zhang Xian, the magistrate of Tonghua County, Yanzhou?
Lu Desheng thought for a moment and then remembered, Zhang Xian, Yan Hua's disciple, the one who was deceived by him. But, how could the other party write to me?
Also, the younger son followed the younger daughter, and the younger son sent him a letter in Yanzhou, which means that the daughter and the others have reached the boundary of Yanzhou? It’s just that this will send him a letter. Could it be that something happened that cannot be solved?
When he thought of this possibility, Lu Desheng quickly opened Zhang Xian's letter.
At the beginning of the letter, Zhang Xian talked about Lu Mingzhi's deeds, praising him again and again, praising him as a tiger father with no canine sons, and for his behavior as a father at a young age, etc.
Lu Desheng held the letter and raised his eyebrows. Is this really his youngest son that the letter is talking about? Why does it sound different? It's a bit like his little girl's words.
He looked down again, and when he saw Zhang Xian tactfully mentioned at the end that the next thing would trouble him.
Lu Desheng:? ? ?
What's going to trouble him? Lu Mingzhi, this little brat, won't cause any trouble for his father when he comes back, right?
When he opened the letter from his younger son, the truth came out. As for the promise made by the daughter to Zhang Xian? No problem, he will do it!
There was just one thing he couldn't bear, so he picked up a pen and wrote a page of letter paper, scolding his youngest son.
Why is this little brat taking the blame for his second sister? Howling like this? I'm so afraid of taking on trouble that I can't take it anymore.
Whether a man is in school or at work, he must be mentally prepared to take the blame on his immediate family members, otherwise he will never be able to achieve anything. What kind of person are you, Xiao Luoluo, competing with Shangfeng for the innocent position? Thinking back to the beginning, how many times did he take the blame for Emperor Kang Cheng?
The second half of the letter was written in the tone of a little girl. He could understand that it was inconvenient for the little girl, but it was okay for the siblings to share the same letter paper.
The little girl first asked about the health of the two elders, and then briefly explained the matter. Finally, she mentioned that she had taken on a troublesome matter for him and asked his father to help.
Of course this is possible, as he will be very busy at the moment.
After putting down the letter, Lu Desheng thought for a while. Zhang Xian's matter was not difficult to handle. He uprooted the Qinglong Village and very cleverly interrogated the thieves in front of the people of the county with great fanfare, thus gaining a good reputation among the people. .
His return can be described as a return with great achievements.
Lu Desheng wrote and gave him a suggestion, asking him to go directly to worship Yan Hua without seeing anyone after returning to Chang'an, and then visit the ministers who had been kind to him.
Now the four ministers who care about life have a vague tendency to form an alliance in pairs, because they have realized that if they continue to fight alone, it will be too easy for them to be defeated by the new emperor, and it is easy for the other three to make trouble.
A tripartite force will form in the court, and this situation is expected to last for some time.
And when the new emperor was appointing people, Zhang Xian, an official who had been out for more than ten years, had nothing to do with the four ministers of Gu Ming in Chang'an City. There was no entanglement. In the eyes of the new emperor, he was innocent and showed good behavior. With high ability, the possibility of being requisitioned is very high.
In addition, he directly paid homage to Yan Hua after returning to the capital, and he showed the attribute of being a lonely minister who must retaliate, which will increase the possibility of him being reused. He must retaliate, which shows that he has a clear sense of grudges and grudges. To him, the new emperor's promotion and important position are a favor. Which emperor doesn't like courtiers who remember their favor?
Next, what he had to do was how to let the new emperor know that there was such a person without leaving any trace. Hey, this is all work.
Later, Lu Desheng told his wife about the letter from his youngest daughter and son, and said, "I'm going to get busy. These two children still need the help of my father." When he said this, he looked complacent. .
Mrs. Jiang just waved her hand to him and told him to go aside and not hinder her from settling accounts.
Lu Desheng touched his nose and went to the side.
In fact, Lu Desheng was not as leisurely as he said.
Because of the beauty of Lu Desheng, everyone knows how high the upper limit of a capable censor is, and now the censor's platform has become a battleground for military strategists.
Everyone has vivid memories of how Lu Desheng came to power and how he became a close minister of the emperor. Anyway, as long as the person who takes the lead is not one of your own, the attack will be correct.
There were even ministers from the DPRK and China who secretly found him and asked him to give him private guidance on easy terms. But he didn't agree. As a result, many ministers said that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. But will Lu Desheng care?
*****
When Songli and his party left Tonghua County, the Xie and Zhao families had just arrived in Xiangyang.
At this time, the two families were severely attrited. There were almost no children under five years old and elderly people over forty-five years old. The atmosphere in the team was both gloomy and tense.
The guards and the guards were divided into two groups. Four or five guards had already died, and even one of the guards had died.
The current situation is the result of the game between the two sides.
At the beginning, these guards and officers were too unfriendly to them. Only about half a month after setting off, many people from the Xie and Zhao families died.
At that time, Xie Zhan felt that he could not go on like this, so he used a honey trap to divide the group of police officers. Those who were particularly difficult and liked to torture were all killed by his trick.
The honey trap was thrown out by some ordinary-looking girls from the Xie and Zhao families. He kept and protected all those who were extremely beautiful for the future and for other uses.
Xie Zhan's strategy was undoubtedly successful, but his mood was actually not good all the time. You know, these escorts and servants were people he would never have even looked at in the past, but now he has to deal with them even though they are in peace. I don't want to pay attention to them. I'm living a miserable life, and I don't feel any sense of accomplishment after winning.
Xie Zhan had the belief in his heart to return to the peak of power. Even though he was tortured in prison, because of the care of his clan members, his overall condition was pretty good, and his aura was restrained, like a famous sword that had become silent.
Zhao Yutan's condition was very bad, even though she was not subjected to any torture methods while in Dali Prison.
She is looking at Xie Zhan now, as if looking at a stranger.
Because on the way to exile, she had another prophetic dream, which almost drove her crazy.
She actually dreamed that the Qin family rebelled, Qin Sheng became a young general that everyone respected, Qin Heng marched westward, and finally came to Chang'an. She also dreamed that her current husband, Xie Zhan, was the first to open the city gate as an example for all officials.
Her dream ended abruptly. She woke up, but she almost went crazy!
The Qin family took away the Song family's power! Be the biggest winner! Rather than the emperor granting a general amnesty to the world as she thought, the Qin family had to shed their guilt and return to Chang'an because of this grace!
The day after this dream, she couldn't eat anything. She no longer took care of Xie Zhan because she was going crazy with the regret in her heart.
She knew very well what this dream meant! This means that she gave up the gift of fate and the glory and wealth that was at her fingertips! In fact, she doesn't have to do anything, just wait quietly for something to happen and for it to end.
If this dream was true, then what was she doing all this for? The key is that after struggling for so long, I still couldn’t escape the fate of being exiled! What she couldn't accept the most was that if she could eat these, it would be for nothing!
Is God playing tricks on her? Why let her go through all this! It's better not to let her have this prophetic dream in the first place!
And along the way, there was no longer that young man to protect him. At the beginning, she was too tired from walking and the road was too difficult, so she walked a little slower, and then she was whipped twice by the guard. The two whips fell on her arms, which really hurt, but no one cared for her or blocked the whips for her.
Her heart was really bitter.
