After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

In addition to Xiao Shaoke's uncontrollability, the Lu family also estimated that if she killed Xiao Yuanjin and the emperor really chose to bury his son with him, the Lu family and other courtiers would not accept the idea of ​​"brothers end up with brothers" instead of Acceptance of "Father dies and son succeeds".

In the case where the emperor has a healthy heir, the second prince, and the second prince is about the same age as Xiao Shaoke, the "brother succeeds to the younger brother" is indeed more likely to cause turmoil in the court than "the father dies and the son succeeds". Opposition from the courtiers is inevitable, and even everywhere A general with a large number of troops can use this excuse to "clear the emperor's side".

As for the Lu family, even if the adverse impact on the government is not taken into account, the great Lu family believes that Lu Tong, the head of the Lu family, will choose between the death of father and son rather than the death of brother.

After all, for him, Little Lu's idiot is much easier to control than Big Lu's.

Now the big Lu family is firmly dominating Lu Tong, but if the little Lu family is replaced as the queen mother and listens to politics behind the curtain on behalf of the young emperor, then Lu Tong will definitely be able to easily rely on his rich political experience and natural status as an elder. Completely oust the little Lu family, and truly have power from now on.

Just as Da Lu said when she silently slandered the emperor before, many people in this world first consider things from the perspective of interests, rather than from the perspective of family affection.

She is like this, and so are her brother Lu Tong and her niece Xiao Lu.

When that time comes, even if she, the Queen Mother, will not be killed by her own family, she will definitely be forced to stay away from the political center because she is already the "Empress Dowager".

This is not what Da Lu wants to see.

With a sigh, Mrs. Dalu put down the tea cup and silently called her most useful confidant, nanny, to give some instructions.

Grandma took the order and left, while Da Lu sat quietly on the couch for a long time without moving.

On the other side, little Lu was so excited that she repeatedly ordered her confidants, "Quick, send someone to send a message to my father!"

Xiao Yuanjin suddenly left the palace before, catching her off guard. She didn't have time to send a message to the Lu family, asking them to organize a sure-fire assassination. She felt sorry for this for a long time, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yuanjin was so good at seeking death, and even planned to do so later. Leaving the palace frequently.

The Lu family has wanted Xiao Yuanjin's life for many years, and now they finally see the opportunity. Little Lu's mouth is grinning from ear to ear with joy.

However, her joy and excitement were soon slapped away by the message sent back from the Lu family.

"Why! Why not?!" Little Lu was so angry that he swept the entire tea set off the table, and the teapots and cups rolled all over the floor.

Little Lu was particularly upset. She picked up a narrow-necked porcelain bottle and smashed it hard on the uncarpeted floor.

The porcelain bottle broke into pieces. Little Lu was in a happy mood for less than a second when a piece of broken porcelain flew towards her.

She screamed in fright and subconsciously took a few steps back. However, the broken porcelain was blocked by the hem of her skirt and failed to scratch any piece of her skin.

Little Lu breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then his face instantly distorted, and he entered a state of rage again.

She wanted to kill Xiao Yuanjin, but the big Lu family sent a message to the Lu family before her, ordering them not to act rashly.

She threw a porcelain vase to vent her anger. As a result, a piece of broken porcelain broke out from the vase and tried to stab her. She was so frightened that she screamed uncontrollably.

Little Lu's wish failed, she only felt that everything was not going well. She cursed in a low voice and smashed out several pieces of porcelain. Although she did not name her, everyone who heard her knew that she was scolding the great Lu family who had ruined her good deeds.

The palace people were trembling with fear, but no one dared to get involved in the game between the aunt and nephew. For the sake of their own lives, they could only pretend that they were deaf and blind.

Not long after the matter of Xiao Yuanjin leaving the palace to learn Erhu was put on the table, August [-]th of this year came as scheduled.

Just like the Dragon Boat Festival, to show concern, news came out early in the palace to invite Yu Zizhen, Fang Huaiying, and Chen Hushan to the palace for a banquet on August [-]th.

Yu Zizhen was busy settling the two families she had just recruited. She was actually very reluctant to enter the palace for the banquet, but no matter how unwilling she was, she had to take the overall situation into consideration and cooperate with the big Lu family in acting.

As for the two families she just recruited.

The family surnamed Hao was originally a slave in the house of a certain second-grade official. The man in charge of their family was very talented in business, so he was released by the master's family to run the store on his behalf.

It took him twenty years to advance from the caravan manager to the general manager of all the shops in his family.

If the newly married daughter-in-law of his family hadn't been attracted by the second son of the master's family, the head mother of the master's family wanted to sell the entire family away in order not to cause a scandal that would affect her son's future and marriage. He wouldn't be so old that he and his family would be sent directly to his grandmother's house.

Most people in his family, including his old wife, had strong objections to the young daughter-in-law who "brought trouble", but the big shopkeeper and his young son did not blame his young daughter-in-law for this.

The second young master of their master's family had unique tastes. There were a lot of little girls surrounding him, but he didn't like any of them, and the ones he liked were all married young women.

Although there is a custom in Daqi where the master rewards his servants with his maids, and even the servants who receive the reward will be proud of it, but that is when the master rewards his own women to the servants, and in that From now on, the master will no longer have that kind of relationship with his maids who were rewarded.

This is completely different from the situation where the second son of their master's family only singles out married women.

He wasn't hunting for sex, he was deliberately cuckolding the woman's husband.

He likes to see those women who are unwilling but have to obey and endure the humiliation. He likes to see the husband of the other party who dares to be angry but dare not speak out. He also likes to see those newlyweds who were originally sweet and sweet. Because of his strong intervention, they have changed from loving love to each other. Sweetness turns into strange bedfellows.

The more painful the other party is because of his strong intervention, the more he can feel the twisted pleasure of being above everyone and controlling other people's emotions.

As one of the brides who was also targeted by him, the young daughter-in-law of the big shopkeeper was not like other servants in the house, either weak-tempered or having such concerns.

She had a strong temper. Even if the other party was the second son of the master's family and her master, she resisted without hesitation, made a scene and preserved her innocence.

Perhaps this is related to the fact that she is not a child of that family, but a fierce business girl who was married from outside by the young son of the big shopkeeper.

After receiving the system prompt, Yu Zizhen, who was planning to find someone who knew how to do business to help him accumulate wealth, immediately changed back to his original appearance.
