The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

632 It is a sure thing
It was noon when Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo returned to Zhenghe Hall from the palace and had lunch with her before the young couple returned to Xiaofengyuan.

Neither Lu Jinkang nor Su Yunduo had the habit of taking a lunch break. Su Yunduo told Zisu to tell all the servants serving in Xiaofengyuan to gather at the council hall in front at the moment, and then waved away the maid serving in the room, and the couple leaned against each other. Gossiping on the soft couch.

It's gossip, but it's not, but Lu Jinkang told Su Yunduo in a low voice what he saw and heard in the imperial study today.

When Lu Jinkang arrived at the imperial study, the Holy Majesty was discussing the matter with several cabinet ministers.

Upon receiving the notification from the eunuch, the Holy Majesty did not ask Lu Jinkang to wait outside the imperial study, but let him in to listen.

This is not the first time that such a thing has happened, although the cabinet ministers have no objections to this, but the Holy Majesty is so willful, they can only turn a blind eye.

What the Holy Majesty and the cabinet ministers are discussing today is the matter of Duke Zhen Guo giving up the title.

It turned out that Duke Zhen Guo had submitted an application to the Holy Master in the early court today to let his son be the eldest son Lu Da, and asked Lu Jinkang to be crowned heir son.

Several elders had different views on Lu Mingyang letting his eldest son, Lu Da, when he was still in good health. There were half of them in favor and half in opposition, and one person was absent from today's discussion because he was away from Beijing for business. This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.

"Is there a similar precedent in Dongling Country? Grandpa can really let the prince and father do what he wanted?" Su Yunduo pushed Lu Jinkang's mischievous hand and asked.

"This dynasty once surrendered the title during Gaozu's time, but the situation in our mansion is different, but it is also a certainty." Lu Jinkang chuckled, lightly pecked Su Yunduo's face, and then played with it for a while. Holding Su Yunduo's hair, hugging her and talking about ancient times.

Whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, there are not many hereditary and irreplaceable titles like the Duke of Zhenguo, and most of them are degraded to the title.

According to historical records, there is no similar precedent in the previous dynasty for giving up the title in advance.

However, there was a precedent during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Dongling Kingdom.

At that time, Dongling Kingdom had just been established for five years, and internal and external troubles continued.

The northern side is guarded by Lu Yuan, the ancestor of the Duke of Zhenguo, who is excellent in martial arts and proficient in the art of war. Although Dazi always harassed him once or twice a year, it is generally stable, but the southern side is not.

At that time, the prince of the Marquis of Wu'an was guarding the southern city. Although he had a few talents, he was arrogant and self-willed by nature.

The lieutenant led the troops to rescue him at a great price, but died of his serious injuries, which caused turmoil in the two cities in the south.

In the Wu'an Hou Mansion in the capital, the old Hou Ye learned that his eldest son had died, and was deeply saddened, causing a stroke and causing paralysis.

The eldest son died, Lord Hou was paralyzed, and the Wu'an Mansion was clouded with wind and rain for a while.

The southern city was anxiously waiting for new generals to lead the troops to guard and recapture the lost city. At this time, although the old Marquis of Wu'an Marquis was paralyzed in bed, he did something very bold.

He forced his sick body to dictate word by word, and then his staff in the mansion would polish it for him, and wrote a letter to Emperor Gaozu, requesting that his eldest grandson Chengjue, who had just passed the weak crown, go to Nanbian City to atone for his father.

"This is the only time in the history of our Dongling Kingdom to give up the title." Finally Lu Jinkang said.

"No wonder there are rumors that grandfather intends to pass on the title to you over father." Su Yunduo frowned slightly.

Lu Jinkang smiled slightly, and said in Su Yunduo's ear: "This is not just a rumor, my grandfather did have this intention, but I didn't agree."

It turned out that Duke Zhen felt that his body was not as strong as before at the beginning of last year, so he deliberately let go of the burden on him and handed over the title to his children and grandchildren.

For this reason, Lu Mingyang thought about it for almost half a year, and felt that Lu Da was okay to lead the army in the war, but he was really lacking in dealing with people, so he thought about skipping Lu Da and letting Lu Jinkang directly accept the title.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jinkang resolutely rejected it just after mentioning it to Lu Jinkang.

If Lu Jinkang's personal preference could really be followed, he would not even be willing to accept the title of prince after Lu Da accepted the title.

According to his original words, "whoever loves to be the one should be the one", but Lu Mingyang severely punished him, and then he reluctantly agreed that Lu Da would invite him to be the crown prince after he accepted the title.

After Lu Mingyang and Lu Jinkang reached a consensus, they made an agreement with the Holy Majesty to let Lu Da be the prince when he came back from the border town.

It's just that after Lu Da returned to the capital, he did several things in succession that made Lu Mingyang very displeased and annoyed Lu Mingyang. The rumors are the news that Lu Mingyang deliberately let people release, just to observe the reaction of Lu Da and Xiao Xu.

Lu Jinkang not only popularized the knowledge about titles for Su Yunduo, but also explained to Su Yunduo the reason why the Duke of Zhenguo's government had been delaying in granting the title.

Su Yunduo was silent, there was no way to talk about this topic, she couldn't ask her father-in-law what he did to annoy Lord Zhen Guo.

She also has no desire for titles.

With Lu Jinkang's ability, the importance the Holy Majesty placed on him, and her ability to make money as a wife, without the title of Lord Zhen Guo, maybe they could live a more relaxed and nourished life.

No, it should not be maybe, but definitely!absolute!
Seek out his own government in his position, and fulfill his duties.

If one day Lu Jinkang bears the title of title, he will not only be responsible for the family, but also the safety of the northern defense line. Protecting the family and the country is the unshirkable responsibility of the Zhen Guo government.

Su Yunduo is not a narrow-minded person like Xiao Xu, who only sees benefits but not responsibilities.

Once Lu Jinkang assumes the title, she will have to take on the responsibility of the clan's wife.

No, there is no need to wait until the day when Lu Jinkang assumes the title. As long as the title falls to Lu Da, Lu Jinkang is the heir apparent of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and he has to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

The Duke of Zhen and the princes of the Duke of Zhen have never been able to be in the capital together. The reason why Lu Da was able to stay in the capital for a year is because of the last battle with Dazi. Harass the northern city.Second, it was because Lu Mingyang's health was getting worse and worse this year, so the Holy One specially kept Lu Da in the capital to fulfill his filial piety.

However, when Lu Mingyang let Lu Da take the title and Lu Jinkang became the eldest son, one of Lu Da and Lu Jinkang would have to go to the border town to garrison.

Su Yunduo secretly hopes to go to the border town with Lu Jinkang to live a few years of easy life, but this is unlikely.

According to the result of the discussions among the men in the mansion, Lu Da will take Xiao Xu to the border town, and he will not return to Beijing without the order of the Holy Majesty. After this trip, Lu Da may have to stay in the border town for the rest of his life.

This is also an important reason why Xiao Xu fainted when she heard that Lu Da had invited her to the border town and would take her with her.

However, there are some things that the little Xu can't do whatever he wants. After the holy decree, Lu Da will set off for the border town. pray.

It is absolutely impossible for her to dominate the mansion as the Duke's wife.

With Lu Mingyang retreating behind the scenes to cultivate, and Lu Da Chengjue leaving the capital, Lu Jinkang will be the head of the Zhen Guogong Mansion and the Lu family in the capital.

Su Yunduo, as Lu Jinkang's wife, also has to surpass the little Xu family to take on the responsibility of the Lu family's clan wife.

Thinking of this, Su Yunduo felt tired for a while.

To be honest, she prefers to read books, do beauty treatments, study medicine pills, or go to Zhuangzi to plant flowers and pick fruits, but it is a pity that such days will be even more extravagant in the future.

According to Lu Jinkang, although the opinions of the cabinet were not unified, within five days at most, the Holy Majesty would issue a decree to come to the mansion.
