Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers

In Shengjing Yinshi, it was the deepest time of the day, and there was a bright moon and stars in the sky. Except for the whistling wind, the rest of the time was eerily silent.

Dingguo's mansion has long been out of light, but in the hidden secret room of the mansion, there are two cups of hot tea on the table.

"Before, the crown prince did ridiculous things again and again, which made the trouble unsightly. When the entire Shengjing had a bad reputation for him, we proposed to His Majesty to change the reserve position, but His Majesty didn't agree, probably because he felt that there was no other suitable one. candidate."

"But now that the frontier war has won, the whole country knows that it is the fifth prince's strategy and wisdom. The common people put the fifth prince at ease and admire him as a hero! If he proposes to His Majesty to abolish the reserve again at the court, there may still be a good chance of winning. of."

While Lu Shilang was playing chess, he analyzed clearly and logically.

Gu Mo sat opposite Lu Shilang, facing the chess game in a leisurely manner.

"Yes, try your best to push it away in the court, but it's better to act cautiously. The emperor is suspicious by nature. If things go too far, I'm afraid it will backfire. The fifth prince hasn't come back yet, so don't worry too much."

"His Royal Highness said so."

Then a chess piece fell from Gu Mo's hands, and the chessboard on the table was a foregone conclusion.

"His Royal Highness is really excellent in chess skills and talents."

Facing an opponent like Gu Mo, Lu Shilang was so convinced that he lost, he couldn't help admiring.

"You have not fought or robbed in the court all these years. You have worked hard. I have some rewards for you here. You can take them back."

"It is the honor of the veteran to be able to help His Highness. There is no need for rewards. The old minister is cowardly by nature, and he is too old. He cannot be cast into a great weapon in the court to help His Highness relieve his worries. His Highness is still willing to value me now. Really I need to be thankful. Back then, if His Highness hadn’t inadvertently said a word to the villain in the court, the villain might not be able to save his life now.”

As he said that, Lu Shilang suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Mo.

"Lu Shilang, there's no need to show such a grand ceremony. At that time, Mo just couldn't get used to the prince's wings bullying too much, bullying people so blatantly, so he could just say a few words to them." Gu Mo said lightly.

It was for this reason that Lu Shilang had been quietly following Gu Mo, but Gu Mo hadn't paid much attention to court affairs before, so he never asked Lu Shilang to do anything.

Lu Shilang stood up slowly.

"Your Highness is truly benevolent and generous. It is really rare for me to produce such an outstanding talent."

Although Lu Shilang's status in the imperial court is not too high, but he has been in the court for a long time, he can be regarded as an old minister, and he was a courtier in the same period as Jiang Taifu.

Gu Mo suddenly thought of something, and said, "That's ridiculous, but Mo has something else he wants to ask Lu Shilang."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Jiang Taifu, I wonder how much you know about him?"

"Jiang Taifu? Prince Taifu?" Lu Shilang thought he had heard wrong and was not sure, so he asked again.

"Exactly." Gu Mo nodded.

"The old minister is not familiar with the people on the side of the prince. The prince's Taifu also accompanied the prince all the year round. The old minister...has not had much contact with Jiang Taifu." Lu Shilang told the truth after thinking carefully.

Gu Mo's eyebrows are serious, he knows that Lu Shilang has indeed always had an affair with some people in the court who would do dirty things underground because of his incorruptible style, he has an aloof personality, and rarely interacts with others.

Just according to Jiang Yue's description, it is impossible for Jiang Taifu to have the same ideas as the party members of Prince Yuyi. Presumably, something must have happened to the Prince's subordinates at that time.

The more I think about this, the more strange it becomes.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Gu Mo said politely.

"No trouble, Your Highness. It's getting late, and I have to go to court later, so I will take my leave first, old minister."

Lu Shilang put on the black cloak he wore when he came, and under the leadership of Danqing, he left through the secret passage under the ground.

At the time of Shengjingmao, the sun had not yet risen, but there was already a faint light in the sky.

Many carriages had been parked at the gate of the palace, and they were neatly arranged front and back.

After the ministers came in a horse-drawn carriage from outside the palace, they had to walk from the gate of the palace to the Golden Luan Hall.

In the Golden Luan Hall, an endless stream of courtiers came in one after another, lined up on the steps under the dragon chair according to their respective identities, and then waited for the emperor to come to court.

"The Emperor is here—"

"See the emperor!" All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for recovering Rouran! Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning the battle!"

"All my loves, let's get back together." The emperor was in a very good mood.

At this time, Eunuch Liao stepped forward and said something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor nodded.

With the emperor's consent, Eunuch Liao turned to face the ministers in the audience.

"I believe that all the adults know about the great victory in the frontier battle. To celebrate the smooth recovery of Rouran and the return of the fifth prince to the capital, tomorrow, His Majesty will arrange a triumphal feast in the palace. The invitation has been ordered by the miscellaneous family, and the adults will meet in the next court." You can receive it when you return home."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Liao bowed his head to salute all the adults in the audience, and all the adults nodded in unison.

"Your Majesty, I feel that in this war, Princess Pingyang led the troops without His Majesty's approval..." Cai Ping tried to speak according to the prince's instructions, wanting the emperor to give Princess Pingyang some pain.

"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that although Princess Pingyang has not been approved, she has not leaked the news at the same time. This allowed her to win a big victory in the battle of ambush and reinforcements. Moreover, Princess Pingyang is not afraid of hardships and dangers. However, the terrain must have helped the fifth prince a lot. If he is punished for such a trivial matter, the princess will feel cold." Lu Shilang remonstrated.

After Lu Shilang finished speaking, it was like ants exploded in the court.This Lu Shilang seldom speaks on weekdays, but everyone knows that he is a clean and honest person, but he is relatively lonely.It was rare to hear him speak for Princess Pingyang this time, and most people agreed with it.

Seeing that the wind was being led away by Lu Shilang, Cai Ping became a little anxious.

"Lu Shilang, Princess Pingyang led troops without His Majesty's approval, which is a violation of court discipline! You actually said this is a trivial matter?!" Cai Ping added embellishment.

Lu Shilang ignored Cai Ping at all, he didn't even turn his head to look at him, but just looked straight at the emperor on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, it's the old minister's improper use of words, and I hope His Majesty will punish you. It's just that Princess Pingyang can indeed get King Qi's military amulet in his hand, and the military amulet represents the right to dispatch troops. That's why I feel that it is better to fight with Princess Pingyang on the battlefield. Compared with the achievements made, the others are nothing. The old minister believes that His Majesty is lenient and rational, or that everything is based on His Majesty's ideas."

Hearing what Lu Shilang said, the emperor instantly felt that something was wrong.
