Seven hundred and five, you can't have both fish and bear's paws!
With Liu Wei's words, the whole hall was silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Kang.
Liu Wei leaned back on the dragon chair a little lazily, stroked the beard that was getting thicker and thicker on his upper lip with one hand, looked at Lu Kang with a hostile gaze, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that as long as Lu Kang also supported Wu Ruyi's ascension, he would forcibly push Mu Guiying as the queen, and he couldn't let Wu Ruyi take the position anyway.
It's not that Liu Wei is afraid of Wu Ruyi, all the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty are now fought by themselves, and all the heavyweight civil and military forces of the Han Dynasty are recruited by themselves, and they have absolute control over the country. Not to mention just one Wu Ruyi, even if you tie the entire Lu family together, you can also use a sentence to make his blood flow.
But Liu Wei also knew that the overall situation was undecided, and the most important task at present was to sweep away the princes, so the rear must remain stable and strangle all potential threats before they germinated, so that the morale of the heroic division of the Han Dynasty could be high, and the morale of the army would not be affected by the turmoil in the capital.
At the beginning, Liu Wei admired Wu Ruyi's beauty and talent, and coveted the speed of conquering a generation of empresses. sense, coupled with Wu Ruyi's blocking knife for Liu Bian, so Liu Biancai relaxed his control over Wu Ruyi.
But relaxing control is not the same as indulgence, Liu Wei is worried that with the improvement of Wu Ruyi's status, the ambition in his heart will slowly swell; When the time comes, I will force myself to shoot at the woman who shares the bed, and I will always be unbearable. Instead of breaking off the love at that time, it is better to directly let Wu Ruyi see no hope, and An An will be the woman behind him.
Therefore, the upper line set by Liu Wei for Wu Ruyi is one of the four concubines, and the queen of the world will never let her get it. The status of the queen is not only glory for Wu Ruyi, but also poison. A dose of poison that made Wu Ruyi's incense disappear and the Lu family went up in smoke. I don't give it to Empress Wu Ruyi. On the other hand, it is actually for Wu Ruyi's good, but unfortunately these words are not enough for outsiders. For this reason, Liu Wei did not hesitate to harden the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
"I am ordered by the heavens, and I can be coerced by hundreds of officials?"
Liu Wei stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips gently, his eyes flashing like a bloodthirsty beast: "I haven't shown my toughness to hundreds of officials since I ascended the throne for many years, and today I can't make an exception, whoever dares to make a direct admonition, forgive me for sending him to the guillotine, in order to establish the prestige of the Son of Heaven!" Whether it is Wei Zheng or Di Renjie, as long as they hit the muzzle. Hugh blames me for not thinking about love! ”
Lu Kang, who was summoned, walked out slowly, raised the ivory wat board in his hand to cover three-quarters of his cheeks, and couldn't see the face of the Son of Heaven at all, cleared his throat, and said in a slightly old voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks ...... It's not time yet! ”
"Uh......?"
"Huh......?"
"Huh......?"
As Lu Kang's words came out, the entire Taiji Hall was in an uproar, even if they were intellectually superior such as Sun Bin, Chen Ping, and Liu Ji, they didn't expect that the first person to stand up against the queen was Wu Ruyi's uncle Lu Kang. This is really unexpected!
Liu Wei also showed a surprised expression, his slightly gloomy gaze was fleeting, and the lazy expression on his face was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, and the body leaning on the dragon chair suddenly stretched straight like an electric shock. Shen Sheng asked, "Hmm...... What did Lu Qing say? ”
Lu Kang covered his eyes with an ivory wat board, and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, Empress Xiaoxian and Your Majesty are married and married. once lived and died together, even when His Majesty was in danger, he would never give up. This sentiment moved people all over the world. ”
After listening to Lu Kang's words, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military bowed their heads together. agreed with Lu Kang's analysis, but still couldn't guess what medicine was sold in this Situ master's gourd? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were discussing whether to establish Concubine Wude as the queen, why did he sing praises to the Tang Dynasty who died for half a year?
Lu Kang continued: "The wife of the chaff will not go to court, and it has only been half a year since Empress Xiaoxian passed away, and it is really a bit too hasty to discuss it now, and everyone has ignored Your Majesty's feelings, and it is more likely that Your Majesty will fall into the mouth of the world!" Therefore, the old minister believes that it is not yet the time to establish the post, and he should go down for at least half a year, and wait until the queen's mourning period has expired for one year before mentioning the post-establishment matter. ”
After a pause, in the midst of the discussion of the hundred officials, Lu Kang continued to tremble with a gray beard and played: "Of course, the country cannot be without an owner for a day, and it cannot be without a queen all the time. After all, the queen is the right match for the Son of Heaven, a model for women and children in the world, the mother of the world, the country has no queen, and the etiquette is not in line with the law. The old minister does not avoid relatives, looking at the concubines of the entire Qianyang Palace, it is indeed the most suitable concubine for the queen, so the old minister thinks that it is advisable to temporarily set the concubine as the queen candidate, observe for half a year, if you can perform well, you will announce it to the world after half a year, and set up the concubine as the queen! ”
"Situ's words are very good, and the ministers seconded it!"
As Lu Kang's words fell, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, under the leadership of Kong Rong and Xun Yu, held the wat board together and seconded the proposal in unison, and the majestic voice echoed in the Taiji Hall for a long time.
"Huh...... To retreat as advance, want to capture the old indulgence! The old fox is getting better and better the older he gets! Although Liu Wei was expressionless, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
But taking a step back, this is also a good result, the forces that support the Lu family have not pushed Wu Ruyi to the back for the time being, and they have not clashed with the hundred officials, and this half a year can form a buffer period. In this period when there are many princes and beacons are everywhere, it is best to avoid head-on conflicts with courtiers as much as possible. People's hearts are not easy to come by, but they are scattered inadvertently, and water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, this is the truth!
And who knows what will happen half a year later, maybe Lu Kang will die by then. That is by no means a loss of an arm for the Lu family, it can be said that the Lu family has broken the pillars.
Liu Bian believes that the reason for Wu Ruyi's expectations now is the lack of competitors, and in the future, he can cultivate a few people who compete with Wu Ruyi, Wei Zifu is one, if Shangguan Wan'er can give birth to a son, there will also be hope, of course, Liu Bian's favorite queen is still Zhen Mi.
At the first glance of Zhen Mi, Liu Wei felt that this was the most ideal queen in his mind, she had almost all the advantages of the Tang Dynasty, but she had a little more talent and feelings, if it weren't for Zhen Mi who had not yet entered the palace, Liu Wei would even take Zhen Mi out today and push her to the position of queen.
Although Zhen Mi's scheming is very ordinary, she can't even fight Queen Guo, let alone a generation of empress Wu Meiniang. But Zhen Mi has the same kindness as the Tang Dynasty, treats her kindly, and is sincere to herself, which is enough. What emperor wants his queen to be a scheming, who spends all day in the harem repairing this femdom and training all women to be obedient? Grace and generosity, generosity and fraternity, obedience to husbands, respect for the old and the young, this is the standard of motherhood in the world!
"Zhen Mi can't fight Queen Guo, it's not that Zhen Mi is incompetent, but Cao Pi is annoyed by the ambiguity between Zhen Mi and Cao Zhi, and secondly, it is estimated that Zhen Mi has always been angry about marrying Yuan Xi first, which finally caused the tragedy of Luoshen. But here I am, you are flawless, I will do everything I can to put you on the throne of the queen, I believe that you and I will follow my husband and wife, and the future Empress Zhen will definitely be better than the eldest grandson queen in history! ”
Liu Wei's eyes were like torches, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Lu Aiqing is reasonable, quasi-play!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Kang shook his head to the ground and bowed in thanks.
After getting up, he glanced at the hundred officials, and said with a smile: "Colleagues, this matter is settled!" You have no jokes, and Your Majesty will never break your word. Please also ask your colleagues to supervise Concubine De's words and deeds, if there is anything inappropriate, the old man will be the first to oppose Concubine De! ”
He Shen hid in the crowd and stretched out his hand to stroke his mustache, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Old fox! ”
The matter after the establishment was settled, Baiguanshan shouted long live, and after Liu Wei left the Taiji Palace, this was the only time that he came out and left the Lin De Hall one after another.
In the dead of night, there was a faint candlelight flickering in the secret room of Situ's mansion.
Lu Kang's son Lu Jun, the young second son Lu Ji, and Wu Ruyi's father Lu Jun, as well as several leading figures of the Lu family gathered to listen to Lu Kang's lectures.
Lu Jun saluted forward, sighed and said, "Uncle, I heard that hundreds of officials in the court unanimously supported Ruyi today, why was you stopped at the critical moment?" The little nephew is really puzzled! ”
Lu Kang frowned at the old man, stretched out his hand to pluck the wick, and said solemnly: "You are still young, you must know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" A word from the Son of Heaven is better than a hundred officials, if there is no support from the Son of Heaven, even if it is wishy-washy, it will be rootless, but it will cause trouble. ”
Brother Lu Jun and the others were stunned together: "Uncle means that His Majesty does not support Ruyi as the queen?" ”
Lu Kang stroked his gray beard: "Naturally! Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, now it is not a good thing for my Lu family to return to the public, in the future, your brothers can have some conflicts with powerless officials, just like Li Bai and Chen Lin, these powerless people, set up a few enemies, you must know that the husband is not guilty of his crimes! ”
"Remember your father's teachings, children!" Lu Jun and the others suddenly realized that they would give a gift and receive a promise together.
Lu Kang said: "Send someone into the palace to tell Ruyi, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in this half a year, and you must not give someone a handle. ”
"This ...... How can this work? Brother Lu Jun was a little anxious, "Ruyi is the queen, and you have to rely on your support in the court!" ”
"Hehe......" Lu Kang's old face showed a wise smile, "Smart people need to learn to be giving, and they can only get if they are giving, and they can't have both!" Besides, I am already old, and I can't love the throne, so sacrificing my status in exchange for the Son of Heaven to rest assured of Ruyi is naturally worth it. ”
After a pause, he sighed again: "I'm afraid that the old man will not be able to support it for long!" In case one day you die of old decay, you must warn Ruyi, do not fight with the sky, everything is left to fate, know that you are lucky, and you will lose your life! ”
"Obey the teachings, children!" The Lu brothers bowed down together and listened attentively. (To be continued......)
