Chapter 142 Poor Lu Yan
After King Shun's words fell, Li Wei's downcast eyes flickered, and then he thanked His Majesty Long En.

Li Wei, as a great official of the frontier, knew the situation of the imperial court even though he was far away from the frontier.He knew that King Guangling suddenly became seriously ill after he was called to the capital, and he had also heard rumors that the emperor was hunted down on his way to the feudal domain.

The emperor summoned him to the capital this time, and Li Wei didn't feel that the emperor dared to do anything to him. After all, behind him was an army of 10,000+ from Liangzhou.

At this time Li Wei said with a smile: "I came from a long way with the king, I think I am extremely tired, the banquet has been prepared at the mansion, why don't I go to the mansion to talk about it."

King Shun didn't refuse, he nodded lightly and led the people in.

Li Wei held a banquet, and his three sons were his companions, and Li Wei's right-hand man who had followed Li Wei for many years. Although Lu Yan was only the county magistrate, Hua County was different after all, so he was also honored to sit at the bottom of the table.

As the emperor, King Shun only had Wang Jue's son, and he was always surrounded by people wherever he went. At this time, he was sitting in the banquet, and he was calm and calm when talking to Li Wei.

After a round of drinking, King Shun looked at Lu Yan who was sitting at the end, and said, "Magistrate Lu is originally from Tanzhou?"

Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect King Shun to notice him as a small magistrate, "Return to Your Highness, that's right."

Li Bozhen glanced at Lu Yan, then asked with a smile, "Could it be that Your Highness is old with County Magistrate Lu?"

King Shun said calmly: "The ancestral home of the Chen family of the queen mother's family is in Tanzhou, and the Lu family is also considered a rich family in Tanzhou. There is a concubine in this palace who comes from a side branch of the Lu family."

Everyone didn't know that it was agreeable that King Shun suddenly said these things.

King Shun continued: "Before leaving the capital, my concubine told me something about County Magistrate Lu."

Lu Yan was a little panicked at this time, and he didn't know why King Shun mentioned him specially during the banquet!He always had a premonition of catastrophe.

Li Bozhen asked approvingly: "What is it that His Highness cares about?"

King Shun chuckled with a mocking tone, "My concubine said that County Magistrate Lu drove his ex-wife and eldest son back to his hometown in Tanzhou, and then both of them had accidents."

Lu Yan's face changed drastically, he didn't know that his family affairs could reach the ears of King Shun.

He got up and knelt down to the center of the hall, "My humble minister, my humble minister..." This life is impermanent, and he can't predict what will happen afterwards!

Lu Yan bowed his head to the ground, not knowing what to admit.

Li Bozhen on the side frowned slightly, not knowing what King Shun was doing.

Lu Yan's stepwife, Wang Shi, is related by marriage to his mother's clan, and Lu Yan is also considered one of his people. Could it be that King Shun wants to slap him in the face?

Shun Wang leisurely put down his wine glass, "Today is a good day for Marquis Zhenxi, County Magistrate Lu, are you looking for bad luck by doing this? Why don't you get up and return it?"

A layer of sweat broke out on Lu Yan's forehead, and he returned to his seat anxiously.

King Shun didn't let him go, "As an official of the imperial court, how can you manage a county if you don't have all the houses?"

Lu Yan wiped his sweat, his heart was in a mess, he didn't know what King Shun wanted to do.

What Shun Wang wanted to do was to show his relationship with Lu Yan in public, and to find a reason for himself to visit Lu Yan's house in the future.

All the generals here felt that King Shun was just using Lu Yan to make an embarrassment to the tribes in Liangzhou.

After the banquet was over, King Shun received the list of casualties of soldiers that Li Wei had already counted. Although the list had already been reported to the court, he still had to verify it, to prevent Li Wei from taking advantage of it to embezzle.

Compensation is one aspect, and it is also necessary to reward the three armies on behalf of the emperor, so that the soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou can not only know the state shepherd Li Wei but not the emperor.

King Shun was very busy, and so were the civil servants and generals who came with him.

Li Wei only took a few dozen soldiers to the capital, of course it is not known how many people followed secretly.

On the plain outside Yongcheng, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and their momentum soared into the sky.

King Shun, who was on the tower, looked dignified, and the confidant of King Shun said in a low voice, "The Liangzhou soldiers are all tall and strong, and they have a strong killing spirit. The imperial army can't compare with this momentum."

The Forbidden Army has been "gloriously raised" in Beijing for many years, and they only have the name of the Forbidden Army. To put it bluntly, they have never seen blood, so how can they compare with the Liangzhou Army who came out of the battlefield.

King Shun suddenly felt that the imperial capital, which seemed impregnable, turned out to be nothing more than gold and jade.

Xiao Feng is now a partial general who can command [-] soldiers and horses, so he is also among the tens of thousands of troops downstairs.

Liangzhou people are tall and strong. In order to prevent things from going wrong today, he also padded the shoulders and waist and abdomen of the clothes under the armor, and surrounded them with two layers of cowhide. Putting on the armor, the whole person looks stronger, with a black face. Hong, and a big beard, he believed that King Shun would not be able to recognize him even if he walked up to him.

After King Shun came back from Yongcheng, he brought people into the Lu residence openly and aboveboard.

Wang has long heard about Lu Yan being reprimanded for the death of his ex-wife Zhang and eldest son in the State Shepherd's Mansion, and she heard the report that King Shun came, and she was flustered and didn't know what to do.

Lu Yan rushed to greet him, he bowed respectfully and said, "I don't know why Your Highness is here?"

King Shun sat at the head, took a sip of tea and said: "My concubine was once taken care of by your father. This king came to your house to see your father. Why didn't you see him?"

Lu Yan was full of doubts in his heart, and said with embarrassment on his face: "My father doesn't like the noise in the city, so he went to live in the village."

Since ancient times, people who are unfilial have been stabbed in the back. Lu Yan, the county magistrate, has done a good job, and he doesn't want to lose his black hat.

"Oh, which village did you go to?" King Shun asked.

"This, this, I really don't know." Lu Yan broke out in cold sweat, and cried out in his heart, Dad, you have done a terrible job to me!

King Shun threw the teacup, which startled Lu Yan.

"As a son of man, you don't know your father's whereabouts?"

Lu Yan knelt down with a thud, "I don't know if I'm a real person, my father..."

Lu Yan argued all the way, but he couldn't hide the conflict with his own father, and explained the cause and effect clearly.

King Shun narrowed his eyes, looking at the scared and trembling Lu Yan, who kept saying that he didn't know where his father was.

These days, he ordered people to check Lu Yuan's whereabouts in private, but he only found out that someone saw Lu Yuan leave the city alone. As for where he went, there was really no trace.

"Your father has been missing for many days, and as a son of man, you don't have the slightest worry. Magistrate Lu, the wicked woman in your house is really good at tricking your father-in-law out of the house, yet you can still live leisurely. Could it be the two of you?" Join forces to murder your father?"

Lu Yan turned pale with shock, "How can Your Highness charge me with this crime, my minister is wronged!"

"Wronged? Haven't found your missing father yet!"

King Shun flicked his sleeves, "I see that your wife, Mrs. Wang, is very suspicious. Before your father comes back, Mr. Wang's Mrs. Wang will be taken into custody."

Lu Yan didn't know why things turned out like this. It was useless to beg and beg. He could only watch as King Shun ordered people to take Wang away. Wang's grievances resounded through the street.
