Guo Xu frowned and sighed: "Grandfather, how could I ignore my uncle's safety? Since my grandfather said so, I had no choice but to do it. It's just that I'm quite unwilling in my heart, Lin Jue is so bold and reckless, can we just let him do this? Can't punish him? ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "The old man used to underestimate this person. This guy is thoughtful, bold and careful, and it is indeed difficult. This time, he was completely hidden behind the scenes, without revealing the slightest clue. This letter is also written in the tone of a charlatan, and the handwriting seems to be written in the left hand, which makes it impossible for us to determine that he did it through this letter. knew that it was him, but there was no evidence to prove that it was him, which shows that he was prepared. So, for now, it seems that we can only endure it for the time being. However, there are plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. As long as you become the prince and become the emperor in the future, this person will be easy to cut with a thousand knives. Guo Xu, take a long-term view, what we are planning is a big deal, so why bother about it. ”

"Grandfather, having said that, my grandson is really unwilling in his heart. Moreover, at present, it seems that the matter of seeking the position of the prince is not nine out of ten. To date, there has been no progress. My father did not come to the court for many days, and he seemed to have forgotten about it. I don't know what he thinks. Recently, Lin Jue's guy has been summoned frequently, and I'm worried that this guy will be bad. My mother told me that day that the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong had met the Queen frequently recently, and they must have been planning for King Jin to become the crown prince. In the imperial court, the attitude of many officials is also very ambiguous. The last time we spent so much effort, we couldn't bring down Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, and those people celebrated and laughed at us. Grandfather, do you still think that I am sure that I will be the crown prince? I don't think so now. Guo Xu sighed and said, feeling quite depressed.

Lu Zhongtian patted Guo Xu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Guo Xu, those who have achieved great things must not lose confidence, and they must not be frustrated by temporary difficulties. You don't have to be presumptuous, between you and King Jin, who is more capable and who has a better reputation, this is a matter at a glance. The reason why King Jin is improving now is just a moment of pride. He is a person who can't hold up the wall with mud, and it is difficult to achieve great things at all. It's so easy to deal with him. You yourself have to think of more ways, use your brains more, and make more fuss about him. He is a person who gets carried away easily, you can put down your body and have more contact with him, maybe you will gain more. ”

Guo Xu frowned and said, "Grandfather means ...... Do you want me to show weakness to him? ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "Show the enemy to be weak, paralyze the opponent, and when the enemy is arrogant, he will show his feet." Or it can be used by me. ”

Guo Xu nodded slowly and said, "What my grandfather said is reasonable, I understand." ”

Lu Zhongtian smiled and said: "If you don't say that you are extremely intelligent, you can understand it at all." In the future, you will become the lord of my Great Zhou, a generation of virtuous kings. As for the current situation, it is indeed a bit confusing. If the Queen Mother supports King Jin, it is indeed a tricky matter. The emperor is still filial to the queen mother, and in the choice of the crown prince, the queen mother's words still work. I went to see the emperor in the early hours of this morning, and his condition has improved a lot. These days...... Someone told me...... The emperor's condition seems to have improved. The emperor said that he would be able to go to court in two days. This is a good thing, the emperor's health is improving, and the matter of opposing the prince will not be so anxious. At this time, it is in our favor to delay the establishment of the crown prince. We just used this time to concentrate our efforts on bringing down Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. Accomplish the previously stated purpose. These two people will also play a key role in the determination of the future crown prince. They will definitely be on the side of King Jin as well. If you can bring them down, you will be able to eliminate them with a beating, which will not only cut off the support force behind King Jin, but also regain control of the court situation. This is the top priority that the old man wants to do at present. ”

Guo Xu frowned and said, "But...... Last time, in order to protect him, his father would rather issue an edict for his own crimes than punish them. How else is this going to bring these two people down? Don't hide it from your grandfather, I am also worried that they will interfere in the selection of the crown prince. They won the trust of their father, and a large number of scribes and Confucian scholars looked up to them. These people are the best at playing with words and playing with words. It will definitely be tricky to be led by them. ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded and said, "Yes, these people are indeed not to be underestimated. My Great Zhou also put Wenzhi first, advocated Wende, and attached great importance to the remarks of scholars. If this group of people spoke out collectively, it would indeed be very troublesome. So, you know how important it is to bring these two down. ”

Guo Xu said in a deep voice: "But what can I do? Now they're as stable as Mount Tai, Father......"

"Steady as Tarzan? I'm afraid not. You can rest assured, Wu Chunlai's people are lying in the Ordinance Division. With Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru's temperament, it is easy to find their flaws. To tell you the truth, Wu Chunlai sent more than 100 taboos about the words and deeds of these two. It's just that I don't think it's enough. I'm waiting for a speech that will make them unable to turn over and make the emperor unacceptable. At that time, it will be time for them to fall. Don't be in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. In two days, the emperor will take the lead in the morning court, and ask the emperor to delay the crown prince. Buy more time and turn the situation around. Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

Guo Xu looked at Lu Zhongtian's calm face, and the anxiety in his heart was slightly reduced. My grandfather has experienced many baptisms of wind and rain, and with him, he has the backbone. He still has to listen to his words. His decision should still be taken seriously. When he did not ascend to the great treasure, he must not offend his grandfather, and he must not be dissatisfied with himself. For example, right now, I have to give up one of my hole cards in order to save my uncle. But it's wise and worth it.

"Grandfather, I will order the release of the people. However, if Lin Jue doesn't keep his promise and doesn't let go of his uncle, what can it be? ”

"He dares! If he dares to do that, he will force me to kill him. He wouldn't be stupid enough to do that. Lin Jue is a smart person, this time it was actually us who provoked him first, so he would take risks. Otherwise, would he dare to touch our tiger whiskers? Once we release them, he will release them as well. The old man had to withdraw his soldiers and horses from the city at once, so that he would not have any worries. He didn't want to leave any clues, so the old man also created opportunities for him, lest he be difficult to release. Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

……

In the early afternoon, a simple carriage slowly stopped in front of the Lin family's mansion. Lin Hu jumped down from the carriage and gently opened the curtain of the carriage door.

"Sister Green Dance, I'm home. Get out of the car. Lin Hu said softly.

Midori Wu's face peeked out of the gloomy carriage, looking out with a look of joy and complexity. When he saw the familiar gate of the forest house and the familiar environment around him, Green Dance's tears rolled down.

"Sister Green Dance, don't cry, we're home, we're home." Xiaohu also had a sour nose and almost burst into tears. But thinking of what Lin Jue told him, 'Men bleed without tears', he gritted his teeth and held back.

Green Dance slowly got out of the car, stood in the sunny day after the snow, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, sobbing through her nose, looked at the closed vermilion gate, and complained: "None of them greeted us at the door, really." Don't you know that we survived? ”

Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "It's too, how can it be deserted." yes, they didn't even know we were let out. Uncle must be in a hurry. I'll tell them and surprise them. ”

Before Lu Wu could speak, Lin Hu put his palms in front of his mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted, "We're back." Uncle, aunts and sisters, let's go home! ”

This shout was so loud that it startled a flock of birds that fell from the trees on the left, and when the wings flapped, the snow on the branches fell like a snowfall. A few pedestrians at the corner of the street in the distance looked in surprise, as if they were looking at two fools.

"Xiaohu, you are really. Don't scream, let's just go in. Midori complained.

Lin Hu laughed, took the package and carried it on his back, and strode up the stone steps. Green Dance carried her skirt and walked up the stairs step by step. Suddenly, the door clanged, and the door opened, and in the door, a large group of people stood in front of the wall, all smiling and smiling.

"Welcome home to Brother Lin Hu, the green dancing girl!"

"It's back, but I miss us. Walked for so long? ”

“……”

The crowd chattered and chattered, and it was Lin Jue, Guo Caiwei, Xie Yingying, and a large group of maidservants standing in the gate to welcome the return of Green Dance and Xiaohu. After the two came out of the Huai Wang's Mansion, the news was quickly sent to the Lin Mansion. Everyone deliberately stood in the door and kept silent, just to give Lu Wu and Lin Hu a great joy.

Green Dance's tears flowed again, but with a happy smile on her face. Looking at these familiar smiling faces in front of her, Midori Wu's heart suddenly became steady.

"Come on, come on, sweep the pines and cypresses, and drive away all the bad luck." Xie Yingying stepped forward with a pine and cypress branch in her hand, and slowly waved it on Lu Wu's head, body and legs, chanting words in her mouth.

"Xiaohu, you come too. All the bad luck is swept away, and everything will be safe and sound in the future. Xie Yingying shouted at the little tiger who was heading towards the door. Lin Hu had no choice but to turn around and be baptized.

Lin Jue stepped forward and smiled at Lu Wu: "I'm back, I didn't break my promise." They have nothing to do with you. ”

Green Dance heard the clue from Lin Jue's words, it was not King Huai who was kind, but Gongzi who rescued him.

"We're alright, Childe, I'm back. From now on, I will never leave you again. I'm not going anywhere. Midori smiled with tears in her eyes.

Lin Jue and the others laughed, and immediately crowded into the door. went to the back house, boiled soup and bathed, and drove away bad luck. For a while, everyone was smiling and beaming.
