There hasn't been much movement in the palace or the Lu family recently. It seems that the woman Yinghong didn't tell them any useful news.

Chang Anbo originally wanted to keep a low profile for a while and wait for things to calm down before continuing his revenge plan, but now it seems that the Lu family is just a bluff, not as powerful as they thought, just an embroidered pillow.

In this way, his plan can be put on the agenda.

His purpose is not just to let Lu Baichuan have nothing to do and be unemployed at home. What he wants is for the Lu family to go back to where they came from, otherwise he will never be able to swallow his bad breath!

Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu began to inquire about relevant news in the city on the second day after arriving here. The more they inquired, the more they became worried about Lu Baichuan. It turned out that the third brother was so sad in the capital. He sacrificed his heart and soul for the sake of the imperial court, yet he still had to be framed like this.

It just so happens that their elder brothers are incompetent, and they can’t help much even if they know the situation.

"Brother, how did things come to be like this? Didn't it mean that the third brother is highly valued by the emperor? How come such a thing happened but the emperor did not make the decision for the third brother?"

Lu Laoer was very puzzled. In his understanding, the emperor was the greatest. Wouldn't it be easy for the emperor to protect someone?

With the current situation of the third brother, it is not like the emperor is crossing the river and burning the bridge. When he becomes the emperor, he will not care about the life and death of his old troops, right?

He has always been honest, but he will not fail to consider these things. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Thinking this way, I felt a little angry and wanted to complain about my brother.

Boss Lu immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't Third Brother say that we just pretend we don't know what to do and just do whatever we need to do? We can't help you now. All we can do is Just do your own thing well and don't cause trouble to the third brother."

Compared with Lu Lao Er's one-sided view, Lu Lao Da is more considerate. How can his third brother be in such a short period of time? To become a second-rank minister within a short period of time is absolutely impossible just by working hard with passion. The third brother has been much smarter than the two older brothers since he was a child, and he naturally has some scheming.

When you don’t understand the whole story, you can’t just let the wind take its course.

Lu Laoer was a little angry at first, but after hearing what his elder brother said, his anger dropped a lot. He is not smart, so he must listen to the arrangements of smart people.

Jiang Jiuniang began to personally lead her two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law to walk around the streets to understand the basic situation, which would also be helpful for them to do business.

Everyone has something to be busy with. Everything seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.

A few days later, Lu Baichuan received an urgent letter from Prince Jing. After reading it, Lu Baichuan went to Qin Jian and the two discussed the plan.

"Prince Jing said that the situation at the border is becoming increasingly out of control. Feng Cheng is determined to go his own way. He is still unconvinced after two defeats. He is currently preparing to attack the enemy camp at night, and he is expected to suffer losses."

"Our matter can't be delayed any longer."

Lu Baichuan looked solemn. It was okay for Feng Cheng to die. He was also happy to see the result, but he couldn't take advantage of the soldiers and border guards. People's lives are a joke.

He wanted to settle everything in the capital before setting off, but Dongting could not wait for him forever, and might even capture a few more cities because he failed to lead troops.

Qin Jian was recently married, so naturally he didn’t care whether he went or not. If he had time to think about it, he might as well spend more time with his wife.

But this does not mean that he has no sense of responsibility. No matter how much he enjoys the flowers and the moon, he cannot ignore the war on the border.

He nodded and said: "We really can't delay it any longer. We'll take care of the matter in the next few days and we'll hurry up and get there."

"It seems we have to push it. Uncle Chang An."

Uncle Chang An was still hesitating when to take action, but suddenly he received information that he might have been exposed. It said that someone saw a servant of the Lu family around, and he was obviously here to stay. .

So, Lu Baichuan was beginning to doubt him?

Chang Anbo immediately became vigilant. Lu Baichuan didn't say anything in the court, which meant that he only had some doubts about him and there was no substantial evidence.

Then he must be pulled down before he finds the evidence!

Chang Anbo gritted his teeth, success or failure depended on this. If he did not seize the opportunity this time, the emperor would definitely reuse Lu Baichuan in the future.

He went out all night to find someone to find a solution, but he didn’t know that he was the big fish in the pond.

When he went to court the next day, the emperor looked like he had a headache, his face was not very good, and he seemed to be having a headache about something.

Someone immediately stood up to ward off the cold and ask for help, taking this moment to flatter the emperor.

The emperor planned to show courtesy to those people and said directly: "Recently, there has been a banditry in the Xingchun Mountain area, and the court is troubled internally and externally. How can I sleep peacefully?"

As soon as these words came out, The courtiers were a little stunned. There was a bandit trouble? Why haven't they heard of it?

So someone asked again: "Your Majesty, how could this happen? None of my ministers have received relevant information!"

The emperor glanced at the man coldly and smiled. : "Yeah, I'm also curious why you didn't receive the message. It's all my messageAs court ministers, one or two of them are not doing their jobs properly, and they don’t even know that such a big thing has happened! If I hadn't gotten the news quickly enough, the people around me would have been killed and you wouldn't even know it! "

When the emperor was angry, those people knelt down to apologize, but the emperor was too lazy to watch them act like this. He said directly: "Since there is a banditry, we must fight it. Who do you want to send to compare? good? "

So, someone thought of Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian. Anyway, they are idle and can just help the emperor to relieve his worries.

"Your Majesty, General Lu has nothing to do recently, why not Send him there? "

The emperor continued to sneer: "Lu Aiqing has mediocre qualifications and cannot take on big responsibilities. Let's find another one." ”

Everyone began to sweat on their foreheads instantly. Lu Baichuan was only a second-rank official at a young age, how could he have mediocre qualifications?

Isn’t the Emperor kidding?

However, some smart people thought that the emperor was ridiculing them for not letting Lu Baichuan lead troops on an expedition, so they still had to explain: "Although General Lu is not qualified to lead troops on an expedition, suppressing bandits is not a problem. I believe General Lu was also willing to share the emperor's worries. ”

With the top hat on, Lu Baichuan had no choice but to agree even if he didn’t want to.

But he never spoke, just waiting for others to keep cueing him.

The emperor also had a tacit understanding and never took the initiative to speak to him. No matter which minister spoke, he refused.

"Lu Aiqing is too young, how can she be the opponent of those bandits? , don't let him cause trouble for me. "

Everyone's voice trembled: "What about General Qin? "

The emperor continued to deny: "Qin Aiqing's qualifications are not as good as Lu Aiqing's, and Qin Aiqing's wedding is coming soon. Even for the queen's sake, I can't let people go to suppress bandits during their wedding. ”

The civil servants didn’t know what the emperor meant. They felt that he was targeting them, but they were not sure.

They looked at each other, and no one wanted to speak.< br />
At this moment, Chang Anbo took a deep breath and stood up.
