After a night of wind and rain, the next day there was no bloody first night in Beijing.
The ordinary people are still living as usual, even if they hear the movement at night, they only think that the government is small, but only the officials of the court, the family, and the royal family know some of the things that happened the night before.
The Lu family's overnight imprisonment shocked everyone, and the next morning, the court saw Xiao Yan, who had not seen Xiu Chao for a long time, standing on top of the court, and some of the people who had danced happily before shrunk their necks one after another.
How did this plague god get better so quickly?
Emperor An angrily reprimanded Lu Chongyuan for his wolf ambitions, sent people to burn down the forbidden palace, raised dead soldiers to murder courtiers, assassinated the holy driver, and caused chaos in Beijing, all kinds of crimes almost knocked the Lu family into the abyss.
The courtiers who were close to the Lu family were all pale, full of fear of being implicated by the Lu family, and except for Cui Lin, who was inexplicably happy, everyone else had relatives, on the contrary, the courtiers of the Qingliu faction were like chicken blood, and their faces were red with excitement, and they were eager to show their strengths and kill the Lu family.
Cao Dejiang looked at the people around him and stepped forward, counting the past crimes of the Lu family, the family was rampant, and asked Emperor An to be strictly interrogated.
He was silent, holding the white jade wat board in his hand and turned sideways, looking at his nose and nose.
Amitabha.
Nothing to do with him.
Listening to Emperor An's handing over the Lu family affairs to Xiao Yan for trial, together with the Zhao family, the four princesses, and the previous Beijing affairs, Xiao Yan, who had been "cold" for more than a month, instantly became everyone's attention.
As soon as the morning dynasty ended, Cao Dejiang saw Taishi Liang coming towards him, and hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and left quickly.
Master Liang: "......"
Taishi Liang was angry with Cao Dejiang, but there was no way to take him, he looked at Cui Lin, who was full of happiness behind him, as if he had been cheapened, and his anger was even heavier.
He doesn't necessarily have to support Lu Chongyuan, nor does he really want the Liang family to be attached to the Lu family, it's just because Lu Chongyuan is one of the few people in the family who is sensitive and knows how to take care of the overall situation.
Taishi Liang knew Cui Lin's thoughts, and he also thought about pulling Cui Lin after Lu Chongyuan's accident, but this person was narrow-minded and conceited and ignorant.
He only has the Cui family's one-third of an acre of land in his eyes, and only thinks about the interests of the Cui family, he has never seen the unity of the family, sharing honor and disgrace, and never thought that these courtiers of the family can stand in the court for a hundred years, and their power has even outperformed the imperial power, because they are twisted into a rope to represent the power.
Cui Lin couldn't see that the Lu family had an accident and the whole body was involved, and he didn't know that the family was one, as long as this opening was opened, after the Lu family fell, how could the other families be better.
He only knew that Lu Chongyuan, who was pressing him, was gone, and seeing that the Lu family had fallen, the Cui family had hope of ascending to the throne......
Such a short-sighted and ignorant person, how can he entrust the future of the family and even the power of the country to him?
Taishi Liang is over seventy years old, and he has not retreated because he dare not retreat, but now that Lu Chongyuan has fallen, he feels that the road ahead is even darker.
When he raised his feet and wanted to leave, he vaguely heard someone behind him stop Cui Lin, and a faint voice came.
“…… Cui Gong, I know you don't like the Lu family, but in the end, the family is one, even if we can't help the Lu family get out of trouble, we can't fall into the ......."
When Taishi Liang turned around, he saw a young man standing beside Cui Lin frowning and talking.
Cui Lin was very displeased with his words, as if he had reprimanded him, but the young man still persuaded him in a low voice.
“…… The Lu family is a small matter, and other big things are involved, Cui Gong thinks twice..."
"If you don't like it, don't interfere, but it's taboo to help Xiao Yan deal with the Lu family......"
Over there, Cui Lin and Feng Qiuli seemed to have an argument, and Taishi Liang couldn't help but look at it twice.
"Taishi, what's wrong with you?" When Li Wenchang, the head of the Li family, came over, he happened to pass by Taishi Liang.
When he followed his gaze, Li Wenchang's face was a little unpleasant: "Are you looking at Cui Lin, he is really a little too much this time, although the Cui and Lu families have discord, but now in this situation, he still wants to fall into the well, and let those courtiers in Qingliu see our jokes for no reason..."
Taishi Liang frowned and looked at Li Wenchang: "Old man remember, you are good friends with Cui Lin." ”
"What do I do with him!" Li Wenchang took a sip and looked at Cui Lin with disgust in his eyes: "I thought that Cui Lin was the same as you, everything he did was for the sake of the interests of the noble families, and the fourth prince made frequent mistakes, so I and that kid from the Feng family got on his ship."
"But who knew that he only wanted to let the Cui family take the lead? The Second Prince is no better than the Fourth Prince. He is arrogant and arrogant. If it weren't for the cleverness of the Feng family kid who found ways to push it away several times, I'm afraid that our families would have been dragged by Cui Lin to be scapegoats for the Second Prince and the Cui family."
Li Wenchang's face looked extremely ugly, as if he remembered something bad, and he tugged at his sleeves in annoyance.
"If I had known Cui Lin would be like this, I might as well have followed Lu Chongyuan. Even the kid from the Feng family is better than Cui Lin. At least he knows the priorities and cares about people like us."
Li Wenchang left cursing, but Master Liang looked at the frowning Feng Qiuli and his heart was slightly moved.
He knew how Feng Qiuli had seized power in the Feng family, how he had been able to stand out from a bastard of a side branch among the legitimate children, and how he had been valued by the former head of the Feng family. Later, he had used his means to win over all the members of the Feng family in a short period of time, making it so that no one in the Feng family was disobedient to him.
Feng Qiuli undoubtedly has means.
Master Liang had not had much contact with Feng Qiuli in the past, but he knew that he was extremely capable and had excellent character. Most importantly, he understood the overall situation much better than Cui Lin, and he was also younger than all of them.
If he could be promoted and trained, and Feng Qiuli could stand out in the court to stabilize the family structure, replacing Lu Chongyuan and him as the next leader of the family, then in the future, at least for the next thirty years, he would be able to protect the family...
Cui Lin argued with Feng Qiuli and left with a gloomy face. Feng Qiuli sighed with some worry.
When Grand Tutor Liang came to him, Feng Qiuli was a little stunned.
Grand Tutor Liang said, "I have just got some good tea in my house. Do you have time to play chess with me and drink some tea?"
Feng Qiuli hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I just happen to have something about the Lu family that I want to ask you."
Upon hearing this, Master Liang smiled and said, "Oh, what do you want to ask?"
Feng Qiuli frowned: "The Lu family is in prison. Although His Majesty is currently only investigating Lu Chongyuan, the noble families have many dealings with each other. If something really happens to the Lu family, the other families may not be able to escape. Moreover, once this door is opened, I am worried that His Majesty will deal with other people next..."
Master Liang listened to his words and saw the worry in his eyes, and he felt relieved: "This matter needs to be discussed carefully. It is inconvenient to talk here. Let's go to my house first."
Feng Qiuli nodded: "Okay."
The old and the young left together. When Qian Baokun and Xiao Yan came out of the hall, they happened to see the backs of Grand Tutor Liang and his men. He was a little surprised: "Why is Grand Tutor Liang hanging out with Feng Qiuli? I remember that the Feng family is close to the Cui family, right?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Feng Qiuli's figure and said, "They are all officials from aristocratic families. Who is he? Maybe he has won the favor of Grand Tutor Liang."
Qian Baokun raised his eyebrows, but didn't think much about it. He just pulled Xiao Yan's wrist and walked towards the corner, then said stealthily: "Did you know that the Pingshan Palace suddenly started to stockpile food?"
Xiao Yan paused: "King Pingshan?"
Qian Baokun nodded. "My clan sent me news that King Pingshan suddenly started buying grains and horses for unknown reasons. The people they sent were very unfamiliar and acted very cautiously. If I hadn't asked my brothers to keep an eye on the news from the South, I'm afraid they would have been kept in the dark."
Suddenly hoarding grain and purchasing horses, and doing it so secretly, Qian Baokun said to Xiao Yan: "Do you think King Pingshan wants something?"
He pointed to the hall behind him and looked up at the sky.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes immediately, Pingshan King of the south was stockpiling grain and buying horses...
Lu Jiuan wants to rebel? !
