The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the inside and outside of the East Palace Residence into a crimson sky and earth.
The servants in the East Palace were sent away early. Wan'er, a considerate person, knew that her mother's purpose of coming here was not to visit her grandson, so she made a very considerate excuse to leave.
Lu Ze was left looking blankly at Li Yunrui, who had a smile on his face.
The relationship between Lu Ze and Li Yunrui is extremely complicated.
When Lu Ze came to this world, he passively developed a very strange and charming relationship with the eldest princess. If it had been in the past, Lu Ze might have chosen to meet her occasionally. Have a heart-to-heart talk.
But it was naturally impossible for Lu Ze to say anything more to her at the moment.
Because he knew that Li Yunrui was just telling some jokes on purpose. The eldest princess, who was known for being completely crazy at heart, also knew that Lu Ze was Wan'er's husband at this moment, and he did not Overstep the rules.
The atmosphere between the two people quickly returned to normal.
Li Yunrui’s bright eyes were on Lu Ze, with curiosity and surprise occasionally flashing in his eyes.
Many people in Kyoto were surprised by some of the changes in the Crown Prince, but for Li Yunrui, who was most familiar with the people of the East Palace, she was probably the one who had the deepest experience in the entire Kyoto. However, as Lu Ze and Lu Ze After Wan'er got married, Her Royal Highness the Princess finally restrained some complicated emotions in her heart, and chose to come to the East Palace Residence until today.
"I came here today only for one thing."
"If you agree, my aunt will never come to your place to bother you two again."
< p> Li Yunrui instantly regained the graceful demeanor of the eldest princess of the Qing Kingdom. He picked up the celadon teacup on the side with his green hands and looked at everything in the hall casually. Although the decoration changes were not too big, from these minute details Li could vaguely feel that there were indeed some different changes in the East Palace at this time compared to before.Before Li Yunrui could continue, Lu Ze shook his head firmly.
"As for the inner treasury, Auntie doesn't need to think too much."
"My father has not thought about letting me take full charge. At present, the Ming family has caused a sensation in the court. It is no longer possible to seek huge profits from the internal treasury, not to mention, my aunt is still doing business with my second brother."
Lu Ze smiled half-heartedly, looking at Li Yunrui, who looked less good. .
At this time, the mother-in-law actually felt that she did not know about the smuggling incident between her and Li Chengze.
Lu Ze thought silently in his heart that even a very smart person like Li Yunrui was still significantly different from people like Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing who really attacked the city.
Li Yunrui did not expect that Lu Ze would refuse so directly.
This time the Ming family incident happened, but Emperor Qing still chose to keep the situation under control, and clearly felt that his power in the Qing Dynasty court was huge.The eldest Li Yunrui wanted to regain control of the East Palace.
"What Cheng Qian said made my aunt very sad."
"Even if it's not because of our past friendship, you have to help Wan'er." Auntie is the one."
Hearing what his mother-in-law said, Lu Ze chuckled, "But Auntie, Wan'er listens to me the most."
Li Yunrui did not expect that Lu Ze would do it at this time. So hard to talk.
I think back then, no matter what she said, the prince always obeyed her and he was obsessed with her.
Weakness
Li Yunrui gradually discovered that she seemed unable to grasp Lu Ze’s weakness.
Now it seems that Lu Ze doesn't seem to care much about what happened between the two of them. He doesn't know if he has figured out the mother-daughter relationship between her and Wan'er, or if he has other plans. , Li Yunrui's eyebrows began to droop.
Li Yunrui didn't care much if he failed to achieve his goal today.
What she really cares about is that now she seems to be unable to guess the true thoughts of her nephew and son-in-law. Even when facing Lu Ze, she occasionally feels like facing the emperor's brother. Same.
Such a strange feeling made Li Yunrui breathe quickly.
She was vaguely aware that Lu Ze might show something even more amazing in the Qing Kingdom in the future.
And when she thought that she had personally taught such a person, and that he was even her son-in-law, Li Yunrui's slightly perverted mentality felt extremely satisfied, especially since she knew that the emperor's brother would not accept it. The prince was so tyrannical that he could threaten him.
Emperor Qing could accept the princes doing anything to fight.
But definitely not including the chair that threatens his butt.
Li Yunrui left the East Palace with a smile. Although she came to nothing, she couldn't help being happy.
And Lu Ze clearly sensed Li Yunrui's strange thoughts through the silly girl in his mind.
His face became extremely strange.
"This"
"People's hearts are really complicated"
Lu Ze feels that he is relatively simple
In the court There was no result for a long time about the smuggling of the Ming family's inner treasury.
Although Li Yunrui and the second prince were the real bosses behind the Ming family, they single-handedly planned the secret collusion with the Northern Qi royal family. Both parties used this method of treating tariffs as nothing to make huge profits in private. In Qingguo, many big families actually hold shares behind the scenes.
For example, the Qin family of the Privy Council.
After the Ye family was kicked out of the inner circle of Kyoto due to the Xuankong Temple incident, the Qin family inevitably became the most powerful military force in the capital. The Qin family took over the position of Kyoto's garrison. The Holy Scroll Zhenglong.
On the Ming family side, there are also many big families in Beijing who have major shares in it.
These people may not be aware of each other.They knew each other, but they all tacitly accepted the large sums of money sent from the Ming family every year, and at the same time opened the door to smuggling from the inner treasury. They stretched out one hand and closed both eyes.
Li Yunrui naturally knew that the risk of doing business with Beiqi alone was too great.
So, she is happy to distribute her money outside.
Although there is less money in this way, the hidden risks are also shared by people. This method of profit distribution has become a default unspoken rule in the Qing Dynasty court to some extent. Another level of lawlessness.
Emperor Qing did not choose to dig out the umbrella behind the Ming family, because he was afraid of turmoil in the court.
It is also for the sake of leaving his name in history.
Just like the previous spring palace fraud, although seventeen court officials were beheaded at Caishikou, there were fewer small tricks in this year's spring palace. Emperor Qing just didn't like the princes to interfere in the court. Regarding personnel arrangements, the ministers still chose to acquiesce.
So, this time the internal treasury smuggling incident ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Because the end of the year is coming soon.
This year's Qing Dynasty is not as stable as last year. The assassination of the Xuankong Temple is still a headless assassination to this day. No one knows the true meaning behind the serial assassinations. Who is this character? At least Sigu Jian of Dongyi City said that it has absolutely nothing to do with him.
The court is still going on with the constant competition between various forces, and even a balance point has been found. Everyone is good and I am good.
It’s just that the waterlogging there has been particularly serious this year. The fighting in the court has inevitably affected this huge country. Emperor Qing ordered Lu Ze to partner with Zhongshu and several adults to manage the waterlogging this year. Lu Ze could only try his best to deal with this matter, because even if he could come up with a perfect solution to the disaster, in the end, he didn't have enough money on hand, so a clever woman could only make a meal without rice.
Lu Ze gradually understood the mud hidden behind the current prosperity of the Qing Kingdom.
Emperor Qing, an emperor who aimed to leave a name in history, paid too much attention to the balance of the court. The result was the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people even missed the emperor in Wuzhou at this time. The old Prime Minister Lin, at least when disasters occurred in previous years, Lin Ruofu was the first to stand in the court. Prime Minister Lin, who ignored various factions, was the anchor of everyone's hearts.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year has arrived, and the capital is gradually shrouded in red lanterns and red Spring Festival couplets.
Although Emperor Qing declared that everything in the palace would be simplified during the New Year this year, His Majesty the Emperor took the lead, and the people below would naturally follow, of course behind closed doors. Should we be happy or happy, Liu Jing The boat shops on the river are still running, and the wine in the brothels in Xicheng is still drinking.
The East Palace is packing things.
"Dabao can finally see his father"
In the huge courtyard, there was a fat young man with thick clothes and a slightly dull face. The corners of his mouth were raised and his eyes were shining.After thinking about it for a while, it turned out to be Lin Dabao, the eldest son of the Lin family.
Lin Ruofu entrusted both his sons to his uncle Lu Ze.
Lu Ze will naturally take good care of him.
The Lin Communist Party did not like to study how to be an official. After Lin Ruofu returned to Wuzhou to retire, he devoted himself to studying martial arts. With Lu Ze's simple help, this second uncle had already mastered it. The threshold of the seventh level of martial arts, it is estimated that next year he will be able to officially enter the ranks of the third level of martial arts.
Lin Wan'er looked like the mistress of the East Palace at the moment.
Between her eyebrows, you can vaguely see that she still looks like a young girl a few years ago, but there is a strong sense of nobility in her words and deeds. Even the Empress Dowager in Hanguang Palace openly praised Wan'er. Her demeanor as the mother of the country made the queen feel very uncomfortable.
I even secretly reminded Lu Ze in private.
But in Lu Ze's view, his wife is naturally more important.
Because he is very indifferent to the family affection between the royal family. Generally speaking, Lu Ze will obey this mother, but when it comes to fundamental issues, he will naturally not obey her. The Queen's IQ is indeed worrying.
No wonder he has been manipulated by Emperor Qing all these years.
Lu Ze leaned on the old man's chair in the outer courtyard, his body swaying very frequently, thinking about his upcoming trip to Wuzhou, a somewhat relaxed smile on his face, he finally found a chance to go out for a walk. Two laps.
After they celebrate the New Year at the palace this year, Lu Ze and his party will go to Wuzhou.
Because Wan'er has not seen Wuzhou's father after giving birth to the child, and Lin Ruofu has never even seen the child's sensational hundred-day banquet. For Wan'er, Lin Ruofu has never seen her. Ruofu's father is obviously more important than his mother Li Yunrui who is close by.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Qing agreed to Wan'er's request.
When Lin Ruofu voluntarily entered the palace, resigned and left Kyoto, the royal family accepted the old prime minister’s personal favor to some extent. Even for some reasons, Lin Ruofu did not return to Beijing to participate. It was a hundred-day banquet, so Emperor Qing agreed that Wan'er would go to Wuzhou to stay with Lu Ze for a few days.
Lu Ze also had many things that he wanted to talk to his father-in-law about, and he also wanted to relax.
More and more things are piling up in the deep muddy pool of Kyoto. Chen Pingping has started various actions quietly. Even Emperor Qing has not noticed such small actions. At that time, His Majesty thought that the old black dog was as sincere as ever.
But Lu Ze knew that Chen Pingping had definitely begun planning the means to target the blood eucalyptus in Taiping Villa back then.
The ending of Chen Pingping in the original work is very miserable. Chen Laogou in this world should not be like that in the original work, because Lu Ze’s arrival still caused a series of changes in the world line, but the road ahead , in fact no one can see clearly.
What can be seen clearly is not the future at all.
Wuzhou City was extremely prosperous, even on that day a year agoIt was not affected much by the floods, and the retired old man also helped several large surrounding state capitals to survive that difficult natural disaster.
Most of the restaurants, gardens, and shipyards in Wuzhou City belong to that person.
To the people of Wuzhou, this person is a more sacred existence than the governor. Because of this person’s existence, the entire Wuzhou has become extremely prosperous and wealthy in just ten years. This person is like The sun above our heads is always warming and protecting everything in Wuzhou.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Such a statement is definitely not an exaggeration when it comes to Wuzhou.
The existence of Lin Ruofu made the entire Qing Kingdom aware of Wuzhou. When a person's name can represent the affairs of an entire state, people will know how powerful this person is in the local area. .
Lu Ze also didn’t expect that his father-in-law’s reputation in Wuzhou would be so good.
Wan'er beside her seemed to notice something strange on Lu Ze's face. She smiled, feeling much happier than when she was in Kyoto.
"My father has been in the officialdom for many years. Since him, the number of people in Wuzhou who have joined the army has far exceeded the total number of previous years. In addition, the Lin family has a good reputation. The people here Naturally, I respect my father very much."
When they entered the city, the guards heard that he was a noble person going to the Lin family. After reading the customs clearance document, there was indescribable respect in their eyes. Naturally, it comes from the heart. The treacherous father-in-law, who has a bad reputation in Kyoto, is really a leader in his hometown.
Wan'er didn't come to her hometown in Wuzhou, so she curiously looked at everything happening through the car window.
After the carriage drove into a very spacious and brand new driveway, the only thing that could be seen was one house. There were already people on the road to greet them early. Lu Ze did not notify the Lin family in advance until soon. When we entered the city, we sent someone to inform my father-in-law.
"Father."
After Wan'er got out of the car and saw Lin Ruofu, who was slightly stooped, her tears began to fall.
On the other side, the performance of Lin Cong and Lin Dabao was not much better.
Lu Ze thought about the fake family gathering in the palace before departure, and lamented that they were really a family. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
