Fenghou

Chapter 1233
Lu Qingshan said for a while: "Your Highness really intends to do this?"

Chen Qing said lightly: "Everything I do and every word I say is thoughtful."

Chen Qing is actually beating Lu Qingshan, although Lu Qingshan is his wife party, but he still has to consider for the court in many things, as if he has not changed from the role of the court minister.

This made the other counselors a little dissatisfied, of course Chen Qing wanted to find an opportunity to beat Lu Qingshan.

Asking Lu Qingshan to make suggestions for Zhang Jun's matter is actually forcing him to express his opinion.

Lu Qingshan was helpless, thought for a while and said: "Zhang Jun proposed to the court more than once to build a Jiangbei Navy. In fact, he most wanted a navy to control the waterways of the Yangtze River. His Highness took some of the ships from Zhenjiang Mansion and handed them over to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun will definitely occupy these warships, and even seize more warships."

"But what excuse should I use? I can't just say that the warship is given to him for no reason, and he dare not take it."

"Your Highness, just tell Zhang Jun that the warships of the imperial court are threatening Donghai Island, and we need to weaken some of them, and then make a deal with him. We want the salt markets in Suizhou, Yingzhou, De'an Mansion, Hanyang Mansion, and Xinyang Army. His private salt is withdrawn, and then we can hand over the ship to him, make a game with him, let him snatch it, and finally expose this game, the imperial court will not hate us, but will only hate Zhang Jun deeply."

Chen Qing nodded, "This method is good, you can try it."

Lu Qingshan saluted, "Farewell to my humble position!"

Chen Qing asked again with a smile: "Will the counselor remind the court because of his guilt?"

Lu Qingshan was startled, "Your Highness thinks I will remind the court?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Frankly speaking, I always thought that Counselor Lu would remind the court."

Lu Qingshan's eyes were gloomy, he bowed silently, and retreated.

Chen Qing watched Lu Qingshan go far away, today has already hit him, if Lu Qingshan still doesn't know what to do, then he will dismiss him directly, his subordinates will absolutely not tolerate people who are loyal to the court.

At this time, Chao Qing reported at the door, "King Neiwei is asking to see you!"

"Please come in!"

Not long after, Wang Hao hurried in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See Your Highness!"

"Please get up! Please get up!"

Chen Qing asked him to get up, and asked with a smile, "Has the result of the interrogation come out?"

Wang Hao nodded and said: "The principal's mouth is so hard that he can't pry it open, but his subordinates have confessed everything, and we have obtained all the confessions we want. It is true that they got the first batch of fire mines from Qin Dynasty. The state got it."

"Who betrayed it?" Chen Qing asked.

"Your Highness, this incident is a bit unbelievable, because our capital was originally in Chengji County. They went to Chengji County to investigate information, and they accidentally learned that there were nine obsolete iron fire mines in the warehouse of Chengji County. They bribed the warehouse. I bought it for a hundred guan, and it was just delivered to Jingzhao ten days ago, and it was going to be shipped out in two days, but we discovered it."

Chen Qing was shocked, "Why is it in the warehouse of the county government?"

"I don't know about the lowly position, even if I question them in detail, they don't know either."

"Then did you send someone to Chengji County to investigate?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Zhong Huan took people to Chengji County last night, and we are worried that there are still omissions."

After a pause, Wang Hao said again: "Then this morning, the boss explained everything, maybe he figured it out, everything he knows is also known to his subordinates, and he doesn't want to die."

"What is the identity of this principal?" Chen Qing asked again.

"His name is Zhang Kuang, and he is Zhang Jun's nephew."

"How many people have seen Tiehuolei?"

"Only Zhang Kuang has seen it. He even went to Chengji County in person. He didn't show it to anyone. He nailed Tie Huolei to death in a wooden box. It is said that he has studied them carefully and is going to transport them back in person. Shouchun."

"Are you sure only he has studied it?"

"I have asked other people about it, so I can be sure."

Chen Qing nodded, "Except for this Zhang Kuang, all other spies of Zhang Jun, including those from Xiangyang, will be sent out of the country as gifts."

At night, Lu Qingshan sighed and worried in the study, Chen Qing's words today really shocked him, Chen Qing actually suspected that he would leak secrets to the court, which made him both angry and deeply wronged.

A blank sheet of paper had already been laid out on the table, and the words 'resignation letter' had been written on it, but I couldn't write any more.

Lu Qingshan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his mind full of thoughts.

At this time, his wife Yang came in with a cup of tea and put the tea cup gently on the table. She found that her husband's mood was not right, which was really strange.

Yang Shi suddenly saw the three words resignation letter on the table, and couldn't help but startled, "Master, you want to resign?"

Lu Qingshan was annoyed and said: "King Yong said that I had an affair with the court, so he obviously didn't trust me. What if I don't leave? Do you still have to look at his face?"

"wrong!"

Yang said anxiously: "You are the head of the Lu family. Does King Yong want to change his concubine? That's why."

The wife's words reminded Lu Qingshan all of a sudden, right!It's a bit unreasonable for Chen Qing, the Patriarch of the Lu family, to treat him like this!This is obviously not giving the princess face, what's going on?

"Master, ask Qi'er! He has a close relationship with Lu Wei, so there may be some news."

Lu Qingshan nodded and sent someone to find his eldest son, Lu Qi.

Of Lu Qingshan's three sons, the eldest son, Lu Qi, served as the Deputy Commissioner of the Imperial Examination Department of the Ministry of Rites. The second and third sons were both county magistrates in central Shu, one county magistrate and one county lieutenant.

Several grandchildren are studying in the government school. The youngest grandson, Lu Youmin, is nine years old this year, and he is studying with Chen Ji, the son of Prince Yong.

Not long after, Lu Qi hurried over, bowed and saluted, "See father!"

"Let me ask you, have you heard any gossip about being a father in the official office of King Yong's Mansion recently?"

Lu Qi was also confused, and asked again: "Which aspect does father refer to specifically?"

Lu Qingshan said depressedly: "Today His Royal Highness King Yong asked me to give advice and reminded me not to leak the information to the imperial court. He was blunt and said that he always thought that I would leak the news to the imperial court."

Lu Qi hesitated and said, "Did father never reveal it?"

"What bullshit, who am I telling it to?"

Lu Qingshan suddenly reacted, widened his eyes and said: "Why do you also think I will leak it?"

"Father, something"

"Don't talk nonsense, tell the truth, the matter is important, tell me quickly!" Lu Qingshan was impatient.

Lu Qi said helplessly: "Father has a nickname among the hundreds of officials in Prince Yong's Mansion, Banxiang, Lu Banxiang, doesn't father know?"

Lu Qingshan was stunned, shook his head and said, "I never knew why it was called this nickname?"

Lu Qi scratched his head and said, "I didn't know at first, but after I asked Lu Wei, I found out that my father favored the imperial court, and he would oppose anything that was unfavorable to the imperial court, so everyone joked that my father was the half-phase of the imperial court."

Lu Qingshan couldn't say a word, after a while, he waved his hand, "Go!"

Lu Qi bit his lips and said: "My child thinks that it is a good thing for King Yong to remind his father, and he will give him a chance. If it is the princess who reminds his father, it means that His Highness King Yong is very dissatisfied."

After speaking, Lu Qi saluted and left.

Yang said anxiously: "Master, is it true?"

Lu Qingshan sighed, "I know the reason, in fact, I am not biased towards the imperial court, I just hope that His Highness will not have too much trouble with the imperial court."

"Master, you are so confused! Even I, a woman, know that King Yong is going to replace the Song Dynasty, and you are desperately defending the court. No wonder everyone is dissatisfied with you and calls you a half-look. It is His Highness's business to maintain a relationship with the court. What does it have to do with you?"

Lu Qingshan sat down slumped, his wife's words woke him up with a stick, he was a courtier of King Yong, not an aide of King Yong, he took his seat wrongly.
