Chapter 1394 Random Speculation
Lieutenant Lu waited in the mansion for a long time but did not see Lu Yuanpeng come back. He was restless and was about to send someone to the military camp to see if there was anything else in the army that prevented him from getting away from it and he could not come back today. Lu Jinxian, who was dressed in official uniform, coming.
Lu Jinxian came in a hurry, without even changing his clothes. He handed the official hat in his hand to the servant guarding the door of Prime Minister Lu's study. He waved his hand to signal the servant to leave, and then stepped into Prime Minister Lu's study. His tone did not conceal his anxiety: "Father……"
Lieutenant Lu was kneeling in front of the table and reading bamboo slips by candlelight. Seeing his son's panic, he frowned and said, "A gentleman is not afraid of misfortune, but does not rejoice in good fortune. Why are you still so depressed at this age?" Can't hold back your anger? How unbecoming is it to be so flustered!"
Lu Jinxian was about to speak, but when he heard his father's words, he stood in the middle of the study and saluted Captain Lu. Then he hurriedly knelt down opposite his father and said, "Father, our Xiaoliu is following the Bai family's army." The general was kneeling in front of the middle gate inside Wudemen, saying that he wanted to fight to the death with the Yan State, disagreed with the policy of gambling on the country, and wanted your majesty to take back the military power of King Hancheng!"
"What!" Lieutenant Lu was shocked.
Lu Jinxian spoke very fast, holding the table with his hand and approaching his father: "Many officials have seen it. My son originally wanted to bring Xiao Liu back, but his father knows Xiao Liu's temper. If I step forward... ...Maybe Xiaoliu will make things worse! His Majesty may still be in the White House and has not returned to the palace. I suppressed people not to tell them, lest they go to the White House, but there is no guarantee that no one in the palace will go to the White House. His Majesty sent a letter. If your Majesty gets the letter, he will definitely return to the palace. His father and son are now important officials in the court. Xiaoliu, as his father's direct grandson, does this... Others will inevitably speculate that this is his father's intention. If someone uses the story to cause trouble, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to deal with!”
When Lieutenant Lu heard this, he couldn't sit still. He stood up while holding on to the table, and walked out almost at a trot: "Chang'an! Chang'an! Go get the official robe! Have someone prepare the carriage! I want to enter the palace! Hurry! "
"Father..." Lu Jinxian hurriedly chased after his father who was walking as fast as flying. When he saw his father almost tripping over the door of the study room, he stepped forward to help his old father in excitement, "A gentleman is not afraid of disasters, but he is not happy with blessings, father!"
How could Taiwei Lu care about a gentleman at this time? He is not afraid of disasters and does not rejoice in blessings. He wishes he could spread his wings and fly to Lu Yuanpeng, grab Lu Yuanpeng's ears and bring back this unscrupulous descendant. This stupid thing has nothing. You know what you are talking about!
Soon, Lieutenant Lu changed into his official robe and boarded the carriage with Lu Jinxian.
Lieutenant Lu's hands were shaking, and he couldn't help scolding his grandson... this little beast who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth! Originally, he wanted to give him a lighter punishment because of his military exploits in destroying Xiliang this time. After all, this little beast of his was an innocent and naive person, and others might have misunderstood him.
Now think about it, wherever Lu Yuanpeng is naive, it is clearly his naivety!
Doesn’t he know what his own grandson is like? That was a day when he would feel uncomfortable all day long if he didn't cause trouble. He had to cause trouble to feel energetic.
"Father, don't be too angry. That kid Yuanpeng is impulsive and loyal. Maybe he is following General Cheng Yuanzhi to fool around. Besides... General Cheng Yuanzhi is one of the few generals left by the original Bai family army. I want to come and see your majesty. For the sake of General Cheng Yuanzhi, General Cheng will not be severely punished!" Lu Jinxian advised, "Xiao Liu will naturally follow suit."
The lantern light hanging from the four corners of the exquisite elm carriage made the eyes of Lieutenant Lu sitting in the carriage flicker. He understood this... He was not worried that Bai Qingyan would punish Lu Yuanpeng severely, but just like When Lu Jinxian just returned home, he said that Lu Yuanpeng was his direct grandson. If he didn't express his position at this time, I'm afraid someone would make a fuss about this matter.
Let no one else say it, His Majesty Bai Qingyan is sincere to him as the lieutenant. Now that the gambling alliance between the two countries has been concluded, the kings and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty should go all out to win this big bet!
Anyone can cause trouble for His Majesty because of gambling on the country, and the Lu family... will never do that!
The Lu family must stand with His Majesty, so that they can earn His Majesty's trust, and in this way...the Lu family's future can be preserved.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant Lu scolded his trouble-loving bastard again in his heart for causing trouble for him all day long! When I didn't come back, I thought about him and missed him. If I came back and caused trouble for him, it would be better to stay at the frontier and never come back.
Taiwei Lu was cursing in his heart. The carriage had already arrived in front of the palace gate. Lu Jinxian helped Taiwei Lu get out of the carriage. The soldiers guarding the Wude Gate recognized Taiwei Lu and Lu Jinxian and opened the door to let the two of them. enter.
Seeing Lu Jinxian supporting Captain Lu as he almost trotted towards Wudemen, the young general guarding the city held the hilt of the sword at his waist and turned back to look at Captain Lu, and said to his colleagues: "I'm afraid that Captain Lu is... I came here in a hurry after learning that the Bai family's army Yong Ding, General Bo Cheng, and his generals were kneeling down to beg for permission."
"The one kneeling on the right behind General Cheng... the young general who looks young. That is Lu Yuanpeng, the direct grandson of Lieutenant Lu."
"No wonder..."
Sima Ping turned around and saw Lieutenant Lu being supported by Lu Jinxian, holding the hem of his official uniform in one hand, coming in a hurry, and said to Lu Yuanpeng in a low voice: "Lu Yuanpeng, your father-in-law and uncle are here."
When Lu Yuanpeng heard that his father-in-law was coming, he tensed up and straightened his back. He turned his head slightly, saw the figure of his father-in-law and his uncle from the corner of his eye, and whispered to Sima Ping: "Please help me take a look. How does Weng Weng look?"
When Sima Ping heard this, he looked back, approached Lu Yuanpeng, and whispered: "He was so angry that his face was ashen."
Lu Yuanpeng took a breath and felt that his buttocks were already starting to hurt: "It's over... it's over! I will be beaten to death by Weng Weng when I go back!"
Sima Ping didn't say a word. He thought of all the ways he could think of. He used the excuse that he was afraid of being intercepted and disturbed the east city gate to come in. Who knew that General Wei Zhaonian hadn't sent someone to stop General Cheng Yuanzhi in time.
Now that Lieutenant Lu is here, Sima Ping feels relieved. As long as the matter doesn't get brought to His Majesty or the ministers of the court, it will be fine.
After all, if things really get serious and the military generals gather to make trouble and ask the emperor to take back the imperial edict, and if others contact Lu Yuanpeng and Prime Minister Lu again, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be in trouble.
In this case, Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng, an impulsive and clueless fool, said that this fool would not understand, so today's matter can only be... bite the bullet and face the difficulties together.
