Chapter 119 Be careful with Xie Zhan

Chapter 119

In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor and his ministers were silent for a while.

Someone couldn't wait to jump out, "Your Majesty, although General Qin died heroically. However, in the battle between the northern army and the Qiang and Hu, General Qin used his power for personal gain and sacrificed too many soldiers for personal gain, causing many unnecessary sacrifices! The Qin family must be held responsible for this!"

The ministers had no idea who was so bold and aggressive at this time? After all, the Qin family has been guarding the border for so many years, and even if they have no merits, they have worked hard...

At a glance, Yan Hua, it turned out to be you? Tsk, are the Xie, Zhao, Qin and Lu parties fighting again?

When Lu Desheng saw this, he thought that you Xie family really know how to add insult to injury. You really won't stop until you take the opportunity to crush the Qin family, right? He rolled up his sleeves and decided to have a fight with Yan Hua, the shameless old man.

"Do you know how to fight? How dare you conclude that the dead soldiers were meaningless sacrifices? Rather than General Qin achieving the goal of annihilating the enemy with the least sacrifice?"

Yan Hua said with his neck stiff, "I don't know how to fight, but I know that it was because Qin Yue wanted to make up for his crime that he was impatient! He was reckless! He could have achieved the same goal of annihilating the enemy at a lower cost!"

Lv Desheng responded bluntly, "If you don't know how to fight, just shut up. You know what you know!"

Yan Hua's actions were naturally instructed by Xie Zhan. He really wanted to suppress the Qin family, and he had voted for the Fourth Prince. He naturally had to contribute when he should, and he also used actions to show his following and protection of the Fourth Prince.

Of course, he could bribe other censors and achieve his goal without Yan Hua. But he had to consider Emperor Kang Cheng's current impression of him. The emperor already knew that their Xie family had voted for the Fourth Prince, and he couldn't let Emperor Kang Cheng think that he was deep-minded and comprehensive.

Emperor Kang Cheng naturally knew that the Xie family was helping the Fourth Prince to suppress the Qin family to death. Seeing Yan Hua still planning, he raised his hand again, indicating that the matter would be put on hold for the time being. No hurry, Qin family, he will deal with them together later, all those who should be taken away, none of them will escape.

Yan Hua felt so uncomfortable, the emperor was really partial, why didn't he interrupt Lu Desheng but interrupt him? He was just confronted by Lu Desheng, and he didn't fight back, the emperor didn't give him a chance at all!

The fourth prince, who had been silent, sighed in his heart, the Qin family reacted too quickly, if Xue Huaimin's plan was used, the best effect would be that when the death of the prince was reported, his father would die suddenly, then he could throw the death of the prince and his father to the Qin family, these two charges were enough to destroy the Qin family.

But now it is not developing as they expected, Qin Yue is too decisive, his death is enough to stop all the accusations, it is not as they expected, the snowball is getting bigger and bigger.

A minister said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the death of the crown prince is a pity for us, but for the stability of the country, we should appoint another crown prince."

Emperor Kangcheng nodded and said the second purpose of his court, "Now the most urgent task is to appoint a crown prince. Let's discuss who to appoint?"

Some ministers exchanged glances with each other. The crown prince was dead, and the position of crown prince was vacant. It was an opportunity.

The ministers looked at the second prince who was crying uncontrollably in the court and the fourth prince with red eyes, and they were all thinking silently in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, should we summon Prince Cheng back to Beijing?" A minister suggested.

Prince Cheng was the second prince who had already been enfeoffed.

"Prince Cheng is already on his way back to Chang'an." After saying this, Emperor Kang Cheng obviously felt unwell, and said, "You all go back and think about the matter of establishing a crown prince, and discuss it next time. Now, adjourn the court!"

The fourth prince's heart jumped. Obviously, his father could directly announce that he would be the crown prince, why...

Wei Zili hurriedly stepped forward to help Emperor Kang Cheng leave.

The moment Emperor Kang Cheng left, his face was too gray. So when the ministers left the court, no matter how many little tricks they had in their hearts, they were like bereaved parents.

All the ministers dispersed, and Lu Desheng did not go back, but walked into the palace. He also wanted to see the emperor, which was agreed yesterday. He wanted to leave the palace quickly and bring the news of Qin Yue's death to his daughter. But then he thought, the emperor had said this in the morning court, and he didn't need to say it specifically, his daughter and the Qin family would know.

At this time, the queen mother was in the emperor's Yugan Palace.

The palace servant came to report, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu wants to see you."

Emperor Kangcheng was about to announce it when he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "Why is he here? I won't see you!"

Emperor Kangcheng was helpless. His mother still disliked Lu Desheng as always.

So, Lu Desheng waited for the palace servant's reply, "Lord Lu, please go back. The emperor won't see you."

Lu Desheng: ? ? ? Impossible! The emperor won't see you?

The palace servant saw him dumbfounded, and then thought about how he had never embarrassed them when he was in favor in the past, so he looked around and whispered, "Lord Lu, the Queen Mother is in the emperor's palace."

So, he understood, he understood! The Queen Mother was preventing him from making things difficult for him.

He wanted to find his daughter! He also knew that his daughter had just married into the Qin family yesterday, but he couldn't control it. At this critical moment, the Queen Mother was too hostile to their Lu family. They must take precautions early!

And why can't he go? His daughter is marrying the Qin family, not selling them to the Qin family! He goes whenever he wants, he is so willful.

Qin Family

On the wedding night, Qin Sheng returned to their courtyard after seeing off the guests, and almost fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Lu Songli understood that he must be extremely tired after running around outside for nine days.

When she woke up in the morning, she found that Qin Sheng had already woken up, and the way he looked at her was a little strange.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Qin Sheng resisted the urge to rub his shoulders. He must have slept for two hours last night, and he would not be able to sleep later. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but that after catching up on some sleep, he didn't sleep so deeply. In addition, he was constantly harassed and couldn't fall asleep again.

It should be said that he was kicked awake in the middle of the night. Later in the night, he discovered that her sleeping position was really bad. Not only will he be kicked, but he will also be pushed! Later, as if she couldn't do anything to him subconsciously, she came over, hugged his arms, rested her head on his neck, and put her calves on his body, scratching him like an octopus that he had heard about in the barracks. He sleeps!

Qin Sheng deeply doubted, is this really the sleeping posture of a noble girl?

At this moment, Mo Bing's voice came from outside the door, "Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Madam, the Crown Prince has invited me -"

After Mo Bing came over as a dowry, he needed to change his tune.

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and knew something was wrong. Big brother is not the kind of person who has no rules. If he comes to invite them so early, something must have happened!

When Lu Songli and Qin Sheng arrived, Qin Heng was sitting in the main seat. He looked up from the letter and his eyes were red. "Are you here? Sit down wherever you want. Wait for your third brother."

Qin Sanlang arrived not long after, and he was obviously woken up in a hurry. He and his elder brother arranged the mourning hall together last night and went to bed very late.

"Dad died in the battle." After Qin Heng said this, he handed the letter in his hand to Qin Sanlang.

"How could it be?" Qin Sanlang murmured and asked, unconsciously taking the letter and reading it.

"Brother?" Qin Sheng suddenly raised his head and looked at his elder brother, "Isn't this true?"

Qin Heng couldn't help turning his face away, "It's true."

As he finished speaking, tears fell from Qin Sheng's eyes in large drops!

"Death in battle," Lu Songli chewed on these two words. These two words were final and final. This is good, at least it won't be characterized as suicide due to fear of crime.

After reading the letter, the three brothers of the Qin family all became red-eyed. They all knew that his father died to protect them.

Lu Songli also lowered her head sadly. Her father-in-law was admirable. He sacrificed his life no matter in protecting his family or his family.

It took a while for everyone to calm down. The fate of the Qin family next depends on the emperor's thoughts. But what they can do is limited. It can be said that Qin Yue, the head of the family, has done what the Qin family can do. But they then discussed what they could do now.

"Brother, does the Emperor know about this?" Lu Songli asked. Her father-in-law died in the battle on the 15th, which was yesterday. They received the news early this morning. Was it a message from Feige?

"The Emperor has a falcon that carries messages. He should have known about it earlier than we did." The speed of pigeons and hawks is still incomparable.

Lu Songli summoned her servants to go out to inquire, and it didn't take long for her to get a reply. The adults who went to court today did not go home or go to the official office, so she knew that the emperor had gone to court. It can be seen that the emperor also received news from the north.

"Find an appropriate time to tell Mom about this matter." She suggested that it wouldn't be possible to hide it for long. It would be better to tell it yourself than to find out accidentally.

"Um."

Lu Songli and Qin Sheng came out of their eldest brother's yard and on their way back to their own yard, Lu Songli asked Qin Sheng, "Can you help me with something?" Apart from Qin Sheng, she couldn't think of anyone who could pass the exam. High surveillance by palace guards.

"Can."

"You are like this..."

Xue Mansion

Qin Sheng avoided the sight of all the guards and appeared in Xue Huaimin's bedroom.

"Qin Sheng?"

"Master Xue."

Xue Huaimin shook his hands, picked up the water on the low cabinet next to the bed and took a few sips.

Qin Sheng: "Master Xue should be able to guess my purpose of coming." His wife taught him to say this, but he actually didn't quite understand it.

Xue Huaimin smiled mockingly, "Yes, I guessed it." After a lifetime of calculation, it was all in vain.

Xue Huaimin was not stupid. He had noticed something was wrong in the past two days. Especially the night before, he had contracted typhoid fever for no apparent reason and could not get up or go to court. If he looked more carefully, he found that his house was being monitored by imperial guards. News from outside can come in, but his news cannot go out. But he also knew that the fourth prince was fine, what else could he not understand? The emperor is trying to calm his mind.

"The fourth prince has decided to follow the new think tank's plan and abandon you. Mr. Xue is so smart, wouldn't he still take chances?"

"I know what you want here. I collected the information about other adults in the court, right? But why should I hand it over? I, Xue Huaimin, have caused trouble for myself, but your Qin family is also in trouble."

"Master Xue, I think we can cooperate. You have planned for the fourth prince for so long and done so much, but in the end you were abandoned by him and the peach was picked by others. Don't you hate it? In addition, Master Xue must also Can you foresee what will happen to you and the people in the Xue family? Don’t you want to keep a bloodline for yourself?”

Xue Huaimin was amused, "Can you still save the life of the child in my house?"

"No, but we can cooperate. At least you can keep your things in Xinghua Hutong. Mr. Xue, if you help the Qin family, you are also helping yourself."

The smile on Xue Huaimin's face disappeared. He stared at Qin Sheng closely, "What did you say?"

"I mean, it's good for both of us to cooperate, and it's good for Mr. Xue to keep Xinghua Hutong."

Xue Huaimin smiled again, "You convinced me, no, it should be said that the person behind you convinced me." His life was taken away, and the other party promised to avenge him, why didn't he?

Qin Sheng frowned. Was Xue Huaimin trying to trick him?

Xue Huaimin ignored him, got up, and went to the Duobao Pavilion next to him. Not long after, he took out a brocade box and handed it to him.

Qin Sheng took it.

Finally, Xue Huaimin couldn't help but say, "Did Lu Songli ask you to come to me? Your Qin family really married a good wife."

What Xue Huaimin didn't say was that he had suggested to the fourth prince that he should marry Lu Songli after everything was settled.

The Qin family was too loyal and had a way of fighting, but they were stupid when it came to political power. Qin Sheng could come to him today, and the person behind him must be his wife Lu Songli.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" Qin Sheng frowned. He didn't want to expose her. He didn't want to take credit for her work, but he wanted to protect her.

Xue Huaimin snorted twice, and didn't expose him. He only said the last sentence to him, "Tell Lu Songli to be careful of Xie Zhan." He already knew who had stabbed him in the back and picked the peach that belonged to him. He was looking forward to Lu Songli joining forces with the Qin family to help him vent his anger.
