Lu Zhongtian nodded and said, "What Guo Xu said is not bad. The emperor will not easily believe our words, and he will personally verify this matter. To make Concubine Rong undeniable. The current situation is very favorable to us, as long as this matter is confirmed, the emperor will definitely punish Concubine Rong severely. Now it seems that Concubine Rong has entered the cold palace, which means that she must have admitted this matter. The next thing is to wait for the investigation to come to light. I think tomorrow the emperor will definitely summon me to the palace and ask the old man's opinion. ”

Guo Xu nodded and said, "What my grandfather said is very true. But I don't know what my grandfather will say to the emperor tomorrow? ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "It's very simple, according to the old man's analysis of this matter, there are only two people who may be involved in this matter, one is the Queen Mother, and the other is Lord Liang." The Queen Mother, it's unlikely, after all, the Queen Mother shouldn't be so confused that she doesn't care about the surname of Jiangshan Sheji. Liang Wang Guo Bing is the most likely co-conspirator. It was in his favor that he did so, and the reason was simple. Disrupting the emperor's harem and holding Concubine Rong's secret as a handle is extremely beneficial to him. The unexpected joy is that the wild seed that Concubine Rong exchanged for will get the throne, so he can justifiably set things right and replace them. I will explain these truths clearly to the emperor. ”

Guo Xu nodded and smiled: "Great, their end is coming." My imperial uncle plotted against my royal brother behind his back, and opposed me everywhere. The father is not ruthless enough, knowing that he has a covetous heart, but he can't be ruthless. This time, I shouldn't be able to spare him. That Lin Jue also has to be finished. At least treat him for the crime of concealment and rebellion. As soon as they're done, things are much easier. Did my grandfather find an opportunity to talk to the emperor about the establishment of the crown prince? ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Guo Xu, you have always been unable to hold your breath recently, which is not good. The old man said that all the gains and losses are not important, as long as you win the throne, you will be the final winner. Before that, we must learn to forbear, and we must learn to retreat. Do you think Lin Jue is so arrogant and domineering, and the old man has no way to treat him? The old man has a way to cure him, so that he can't jump. But the old man didn't have to do this. Yang Jun hated him to the core, so he asked Yang Jun to fight him to the death, and we just watched the show. What we have to do is to seize the opportunity like this one, hit the snake seven inches, and kill it with one blow. Chunlai did a good job, if he hadn't found out the whereabouts of the Chen family, things wouldn't have taken such a turn. ”

Guo Xu smiled and arched his hand to Wu Chunlai: "Yes, it can't be done without Lord Wu." Lord Wu has worked hard, and this king will not forget it. Lord Wu, what's wrong? Why are you sad? Feeling bad? ”

Everyone looked at Wu Chunlai and found that Wu Chunlai's gloomy face was wandering out of the world, and they didn't seem to hear what Guo Xu said.

"Lord Wu, Lord Wu. Your Highness is talking to you. A government official called in a low voice.

"Oh? What the? Wu Chunlai woke up and turned his head to ask.

Guo Xu's face was displeased, but Lu Zhongtian said with a smile: "Guo Xu is thanking you for your hard work, if you hadn't found the Chen family, how could you have taken such a turn for the better today?" ”

Wu Chunlai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "A trivial matter, what is this?" Nothing. ”

Guo Xu said: "What is Lord Wu thinking? ”

Wu Chunlai smacked his lips and said, "Xia Guan feels a little unsure. That Lin Jue is scheming, and the emperor is extremely fond of him, will it be a big deal if he enters the palace? With his three-inch incorruptible tongue, the emperor will be bewitched by him. Originally, our estimate was that Concubine Rong might not survive tonight, but now she is just entering the cold palace, which is not quite right. Lu Xiang, what else did the letter say? Is there any punishment for Lin Jue? Did the emperor decree the canonization of a princess? Is there any news from the Queen Mother? ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Chunlai said this, but there is some truth. We can't underestimate this Lin Jue. There's a chance he's going to break something big. The emperor did not punish Lin Jue, and the news said that Lin Jue also took the woman out of the palace. The emperor does not seem to punish Lin Jue. The palace was quiet, and the emperor didn't seem to want to make a big deal about it, could it be that the emperor planned to hide the matter and refused to make it public? If the emperor really wants to do this, I'm afraid that he will really turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing will be turned into a small thing. ”

Guo Xu said angrily when he heard this: "How can this be done? How can this be made a big deal? Isn't this a waste of work? ”

Wu Chunlai frowned and said: "The emperor is a person who wants to save face, this matter is a family ugly after all, and it is reasonable that the emperor is unwilling to make it public." That Lin Jueqiao said something in front of the emperor, not only exonerated himself, but also let the emperor decide to postpone the disclosure of the matter, the emperor did not kill Concubine Rong under his anger today, and the anger gradually subsided in two days, and remembered the various benefits of Concubine Rong, and then considered the thoughts of the Queen Mother...... By the way, and that Green Dance, she will definitely intercede for Concubine Rong. In this way, it is really possible to turn a big thing into a small thing. If so, it's really in vain. ”

Guo Xu gritted his teeth and muttered in his mouth, his fists clenched, not knowing what he was muttering.

Lu Zhongtian frowned and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The news is unknown now, and it is useless to speculate too much. We don't know what the emperor thinks in his heart. Early tomorrow morning, the old man will go to meet the emperor and find out about the matter. If the emperor wants to tolerate this matter, the old man will definitely show his interests. ”

Wu Chunlai frowned and said, "Prime Minister Lu, what if the emperor orders us to keep this matter a secret tomorrow?" What do you do? As soon as we will, we will not be able to speak. Chunlai thinks that we have to do something before the emperor makes a decree. Otherwise, you may fall into passivity. We should take the initiative. ”

Lu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and slowly stroked his beard and said: "The meaning of spring is ......."

Wu Chunlai nodded and said, "That's exactly what Xiaguan meant...... We must seize the initiative, and this time we must not thunder and rain a little, and in the end it will not be done. ”

Lu Zhongtian nodded slowly. Guo Xu on the side scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "Grandfather Lord Wu, you have started to play dumb riddles again, what do you want?" Lord Wu, can't you make your words clearer? ”

Wu Chunlai said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Lu Xiang didn't nod, and the lower officials didn't dare to talk nonsense. You ask Lu Xiang if he can say it. ”

Guo Xu was a little angry in his heart, but he was helpless. I had to turn my head and ask Lu Zhongtian: "Grandfather, what's going on?" If you want to die in a hurry, I can't do it? ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Chunlai, tell him." ”

Wu Chunlai nodded and arched his hand: "Lord Wang." In fact, it is very simple, the emperor hopes that the big thing will be small, and he hopes to hide this matter, so we will let this matter make a storm in the city. When everyone in the world knew about it, the emperor couldn't hide it if he wanted to. And under the attention of the people of the world, the emperor must have an explanation. Cutting off the emperor's idea of concealing this matter is to seize the initiative in our hands and force the emperor to deal with relevant people. Can the prince understand? ”

"You mean...... Let's put out the news? The city is full of wind and rain, and the world knows it? Guo Xu said in astonishment.

"It's not us, it's someone else. It's someone in the know. But it must not be us. Lu Xiang had already suggested in front of the emperor yesterday that the evidence should be destroyed to protect the face of the imperial family. Of course we wouldn't do such a thing. The emperor also told us yesterday that this matter will be kept secret for the time being and will not be spread to the outside world, so how can we resist and disobey the order? But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and we are not the only ones who know about it, and we can't help others to reveal it, right? Do you understand what I'm saying? Wu Chunlai smiled.

How could Guo Xu not understand Wu Chunlai's words. Wu Chunlai's meaning is to release the news, make it known to everyone, and use public opinion to kidnap the emperor and make decisions to deal with relevant people. The emperor can't be appeased. But it is impossible to admit it, and when the emperor asks, he must deny it in every way. Turning passive into active means that the emperor's initiative to deal with this matter is eliminated in the chaos of the city, and the emperor can only react passively in order to calm the situation.

This is actually a disguised act of disobeying and coercing the emperor, but at this moment, Guo Xu didn't feel anything bad at all. This time is the best time to hit the supporting forces behind Guo Mian, and even climb a large number of enemies, and it is also the opportunity for him to get closest to the position of the crown prince, Guo Xu not only did not feel that there was anything wrong, but cheered loudly.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful. That's how it should be. Didn't my father want to save face? The whole city knows, what face is there? At that time, the father and emperor had no scruples. forced him to severely punish the people involved, and forced him to track down the mastermind behind the scenes. That's how it should be. Guo Xu stroked his palms and laughed.

Wu Chun glanced at Lu Zhongtian, who was expressionless and silent.

"It's getting late, so I'll see this is the end of tonight. Go back and rest. The old man will go to the palace early tomorrow morning, and the old man will not accompany him. Lu Zhongtian suddenly picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, which meant serving tea to the guests.

Everyone stood up and saluted and took their leave. Guo Xu was surprised: "Why did you disperse?" We haven't discussed how to do it yet. ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Guo Xu, go home." You shouldn't have been here tonight. From now on, you still have to stay in the house and don't show up, and you don't want to come here. Mark my words and don't be ostentatious. In extraordinary times, you should stay in your palace in peace. ”

Guo Xu opened his mouth to speak, Lu Zhongtian flicked the sleeves of his robe, blocked Guo Xu's words in his stomach, got up and left quickly.
