King of Song

Chapter 173 Premeditated Revenge
It was already the end of the second year of Xining when the sad news of Lu Shengqing's death reached Bianjing!
Although the two brothers went back to their hometown in Quanzhou, they seemed a little lonely and deserted, but Lu Huiqing didn't take it seriously. Instead, she was very happy, looking forward to the arrival of the three-year Chinese New Year in Xining with great anticipation!

Because the emperor had just issued an edict to promote him and Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu to be the crown prince Zhongyun, a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace, and he himself supervised the corresponding positions of the Imperial Academy!
Prince Zhongyun is an official of the East Palace. Although the current emperor Zhao Xu does not have a prince, this position is more of an honor, and of course it also represents a bright future.No matter what, it is always good to have the opportunity to get in touch with the future prince of the empire!

As for the storytelling in the Chongzheng Palace, it is even more remarkable, responsible for explaining the classics and history for the emperor, and preparing consultants.If it is more outstanding, it will be promoted to attendant reading, attendant lecturer, that is, Hanlin Bachelor.In a word, it is self-evident that the reserved Hanlin bachelor, the emperor's senior advisor, and the member of the prime minister's reserve team have a bright future.

As for the Guozijian, there is no need to say, how much Zhao Xu favored Lu Huiqing, and how much he valued him, needless to say.

Although it is cold winter, Bianliang City is covered with ice and snow, but Lu Huiqing is proud of the spring breeze, which makes countless people envious!
Today Lu Huiqing and Wang Yu came out of the palace together, talking and laughing all the way.Although the two are quite different in age, their relationship is very close.

Without him, Gain Lu Huiqing has always regarded himself as Wang Anshi's student, and Wang Yuna is the same family and brother.What's more, he intends to seek profit. Naturally, Wang Anshi's family has established a good relationship, and there is a vague intention to curry favor with Wang Yu.

"Brother Jifu, I heard that both of your brothers have gone home to visit their relatives. You are alone, and you will inevitably be lonely during the New Year's Eve. Let's go to the house and have a drink together!" Wang Yu was very polite to Lu Huiqing, he was the most powerful father If this reform is to go smoothly, it is inseparable from the help of someone like Lu Huiqing, so it is natural to win over more.

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Okay, then thank you Yuan Ze, I will definitely come to visit the boss when the time comes!"

"Ok!"

As soon as the two of them left the palace, they were chatting and laughing when they saw a butler of the Lu family rushing over in a panic.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Lu Huiqing was a little annoyed, isn't this embarrassing herself?Tangtang Shaoqing was with Wang Xianggong's son again, and suddenly felt very humiliated!

"A Lang..." The man panicked, obviously very anxious!
Lu Huiqing also knew that the housekeeper was a cautious person, and if he made such a move, something must have happened, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Standing still, the butler ran to Lu Huiqing and whispered something in his ear, and Lu Huiqing's expression changed instantly.The smile that was originally like a spring breeze froze in an instant, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Jifu, what happened?" Wang Yu asked softly upon seeing this.

Only then did Lu Huiqing come back to her senses, she turned around and said, "Yuanze, something happened in my family, excuse me!"

"Oh, Brother Jifu, go get busy first, you're welcome!"

Lu Huiqing turned and hurried away, looking at his back, Wang Yu's seemingly immature face was a little more dignified and suspicious.Only
Is something going on at home?Why did the butler of the Lu Mansion get so flustered that he ran to the gate of the palace and waited in person?Why is Lu Huiqing, who has always been calm and calm, so flustered?So much mood swings?He could see clearly just now, the sadness, shock and hatred in Lu Huiqing's eyes!

Thinking of the things in the south, Wang Yu couldn't help feeling a little worried.His father was the prime minister, so he was naturally well-informed, and he also got vague information about Lin Zhao's actions in Hangzhou and his relationship with the Lu family.He already had doubts, was it as simple as visiting relatives for the two brothers Lu Shengqing and Lu Heqing?

They will definitely pass through Hangzhou. Will it have anything to do with Lin Zhao?What if Lu Huiqing and Lin Zhao clashed?Wang Yu shook his head violently, this was the last thing he wanted to see.Lu Huiqing is his father's right-hand man, so why isn't Lin Zhao?Although he is not often in Bianjing, every time he encounters something, he always plays a very crucial role at the most critical time, and his contribution is greater than that of Lu Huiqing to some extent.

Xining's reform is full of difficulties, and conservative officials continue to criticize and obstruct it. If you want to contend with it, you must first unite internally.There must be no infighting, especially for such important characters as Lin Zhao and Lu Huiqing.In the end what happened?Wang Yu felt that it was necessary to figure out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible, so as to be prepared early!
In Bianjing in the twelfth lunar month, the wind was howling. After standing in the ice and snow for a long time, Wang Yu felt a little cold and coughed repeatedly.He is good in everything, except that he is sick...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Huiqing gritted her teeth, returned to the mansion angrily, and asked, "What happened to Erlang?"

"Yes, Ah Lang unfortunately passed away when he returned to his hometown in Jinjiang, Quanzhou!" The housekeeper brought a servant who rushed back from Hangzhou. They knew that Lu Huiqing had always been strong, so they told the bad news bluntly.

"what?"

Lu Huiqing was so shocked that she slapped the desk suddenly. The teacup on it was shaken and fell to the ground and instantly fell apart.And the hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of the hand were bulging, and they had already penetrated deeply into the palm, but he didn't realize it.

Everyone expresses their anger and sadness in different ways. Lu Huiqing's face turned pale in an instant, and there were no tears in her eyes, but there was sadness that could not be concealed.

The second brother is dead!

Even though Lu Shengqing is ignorant, sometimes he is prone to rashness and impulsiveness, and when he looks at him, he also has the idea of ​​hating iron and steel.But he is his second younger brother after all, a compatriot with the first milk, and his siblings are constantly parting with each other.Especially after the death of their father in the early years, the three brothers depended on each other for life, and their relationship was even closer.

Now the second brother Lu Shengqing is dead, he was only in his early thirties, he died young!Now the Lu family is on the rise, and the real good days have not yet come, so why did he die like this?It's so sad, so sad!

Lu Huiqing was so sad. Under the sadness and anger, she trembled all over, but she was surprisingly firm. There was never a single tear in her eyes...

"How did Erlang die?" After a long silence, Lu Huiqing asked in a deep voice. He must have asked about the cause of his brother's unnatural death.

The servant said in a deep voice: "Erlang was killed by someone, and the murderer was Lin Zhao, the magistrate of Qiantang County!"

"Say, what's going on?" Lu Huiqing was furious again, and she slammed her fist on the table again, obviously very angry.When the sadness in the heart is over, there will be more anger and hatred in the heart!

The servant followed Lu Heqing's instructions and told the exact situation in Hangzhou.

Lu Huiqing didn't care about the failure of Hangzhou's business. As for Lu Ji's death, although he was a member of the clan, he was unable to do things effectively.For the actions of his third brother Lu Heqing, he deeply agrees, and even has a lot of praise.

Because no matter who it is, they cannot use any reason to threaten their own safety and future.But even so, Lu Huiqing still felt that Lin Zhao was going too far.

After all, they are members of my Lu family, so it's fine if you ruin the business, why do you want to kill them all like this?Lu Huiqing felt that the extreme end of her heart was Lu Ji's death. Although she was resentful, she could still bear it.

But the second brother Lu Shengqing, Lin Zhao, you are too much, too ignorant of the sky and the earth.The direct descendants of my Lu family, and my Lu Huiqing's own younger brother, will all take their lives, and they don't take people seriously.

Lu Huiqing didn't think about whether Lin Zhao was planning to kill someone intentionally, or if there was some misunderstanding in the middle, and she just ignored that the ignorant younger brother made mistakes first and acted stupidly.All in all, this incident was all caused by Lin Zhao. Such a bloody feud has already been blamed on Lin Zhao!
"Where's Sanlang?" Lu Huiqing asked softly, his psychological self-control ability was very strong, sadness, anger, and hatred welled up in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Things have already happened, it is useless to be sad, just keep it in your heart!Now it's time to think about the aftermath and revenge!

The revenge of killing a younger brother is irreconcilable!

The servant said in a deep voice: "Sanlang has already brought Erlang's coffin to help Ling go back to the south, and is going to bury the ancestral grave of Laijia in Quanzhou!"

"Okay!" Lu Huiqing replied softly.

The servant knelt down and said: "Sanlang asked me to tell Alang that it was his negligence that caused Erlang to suffer an accident, and he feels very guilty. After Erlang is buried, he will return to Bianjing to personally plead guilty!"

"Apologize?" Lu Huiqing shook her head and said, "No need, it's not his fault. If you insist on saying this, it's all my fault! Go back to your hometown in Quanzhou, tell Saburo, let him handle Erlang's funeral, and then return to Bian as soon as possible." Jing!" Revenge is necessary, but a helper is needed!
"Yes!"

Lu Huiqing let out a long sigh, and then instructed: "Also, remember to help me pay homage on your behalf, just say that I, the elder brother, can't go see him off in person!"

"Yes!" The servant left after agreeing. He is Lu Heqing's absolute confidant, and he was sent back to keep it secret.Learn from Lu Ji's lesson, you must never leave a few words, otherwise it will be a disaster after all!

Lu Huiqing waved her hand and said, "Go out, I want to be quiet!"

The moment the door of the room was closed, Lu Huiqing's eye sockets were finally a little moist, and the tears were faintly visible.Everyone has a sad side, and he is no exception, he just doesn't want to expose his fragility in front of others.How can you bear it when you are alone?

Lu Huiqing said that self-blame is not false, he really blamed himself, if not for his unclear understanding of the situation, if not for letting the two brothers go to Hangzhou, such a tragedy might not have happened.After all, I still underestimated Lin Zhao, his abilities and methods...

But this time it will definitely not happen, Lin Zhao and wait, one day I will make you pay in blood!Lu Huiqing was already planning how to take revenge in his heart, but he knew that he should not act too hastily, he had to wait for the opportunity and plan ahead!
