Riding the Pheonix Chapter 462: False
Jiang Wenfeng never expected that his teacher would be so courageous.
At first glance, this secret edict seems perfectly fine and complies with regulations.
But if you take a closer look, there is a big problem.
The handwriting on it belongs to Prime Minister Lu Qian!
Why is there a problem if the handwriting is Lu Qian’s? Because if Prime Minister Lu knew that there was this secret edict, he would never let go.
So, Prime Minister Lu must not have written this secret edict.
Since it has not been written, it is forged.
No wonder he was not allowed to salute before.
Fu Jin said while chewing peanuts: "Just now, I went to see Mr. Lu."
"..." Jiang Wenfeng just imagined that situation and wanted to kill the man in front of him for Lu Qian.
This is more shameless than a threat.
Just imagine, how did Mr. Lu feel when he opened the secret edict and saw his own handwriting?
The most hateful thing is that he still has to swallow this breath.
Since you can forge one copy, you can also forge a second copy.
Even if this secret edict is not completely flawless, and the seal on it can be scrutinized for authenticity, what is the use of checking it after the fact? As long as the people of the world believe so, the truth doesn't matter anymore.
"The old prime minister promised you?"
Fu Jin smiled and nodded: "He has entered the palace."
"...it seems to be a sure thing."
Jiang Wenfeng knew this man's ability. If the emperor still had an official he trusted in the court, it would probably be Prime Minister Lu.
When he thought about it more carefully, he almost wanted to shed tears of sympathy for Prime Minister Lu: "So, the old Prime Minister is on board the ship?"
"Yes!" Fu Jin was very happy, "After helping him this time, it will not be so easy for him to jump out again."
"..."
"What's your expression?" Fu Jin was dissatisfied, "I did this, but it made him happy!"
Jiang Wenfeng disagreed. Prime Minister Lu was so good, what could he do for him? He is already over seventy years old. He has assisted two emperors and is deeply trusted. When the prince ascends the throne, it is almost time for him to retire. Even if you don't do anything, you will be prosperous when the time comes, so why bother jumping into the mud?
"You don't believe it?" Fu Jin said earnestly while peeling peanut shells, "Let me tell you, our old prime minister was saved by the eldest princess in his early years, and was recommended by the prince before he embarked on an official career. He is He is a gentleman, and he felt uncomfortable watching the prince die. I came to his door several times to plead, which deepened his guilt. But because of his status as a monarch, he did not dare to move for fear of shaking the court. Now it seems that he has been My threat actually gave him a reason to finally let go of his psychological burden and do this."
After eating the peanuts, he took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides, do you think he has no worries in his heart these years? Seeing that the prince is like this, King Xin is very scheming, and King An can't say it's good. But it's just that the prince is like this. , he is a gentleman." Having said this, Fu Jin shook his head, "So, when you are a gentleman, you will suffer because you have to be controlled by others even though you want to do it in your heart. But being a gentleman is a good virtue, and you must abide by it."
Jiang Wenfeng secretly rolled his eyes. Do you want to persuade yourself to be a gentleman so that he can bully you?
"Sir, so the old prime minister will be on our side in the future?"
"It's not that simple," Fu Jin said. "As the prime minister, he has many things to worry about. It can only be said that if we make some progress on this matter in the future, he will give it a push. This is already the best thing." It worked."
Jiang Wenfeng nodded silently and listened to him telling the whole thing in detail. He just wanted to stay away from this teacher...
Here, rumors were used to fuel the flames and put Yang Shu in a certain death spot. He came to beg for help over there, using his past kindness to make the old prime minister feel more guilty. Then he took out the forged secret edict and gave Lu Qian a reason to move.
The most hateful thing is that even Lu Qian’s meeting with the Holy Spirit has hidden agendas.
The jade ring is real, but the secret edict behind it is fake.
He sent the real jade ring to the palace, but kept the fake secret edict.
Okay! The situation was clear at a glance, and it was time for the emperor to make a choice.
On one side are the rumors and secret edicts from Taizu, on the other side are the military achievements of opening up territories and the requests of Zong Xu and Guo Xu.
Rejecting Yang Shu's identity and breaking up?
Yes, the emperor is firmly seated and his position cannot be shaken, but the troubles that will follow are inevitable.
If it were a young emperor, perhaps he would not bow down because of this tone.
But now that this man is old and in poor health, he has no energy to fight with his ministers.
Instead of fighting openly, why not deal with it secretly? As an emperor, can't you find a chance?
As you get older, seek stability.
Therefore, the possibility of him surrendering is more than 80%.
Fu Jin stretched out: "Oh, I'm old and can't stay up late! I'll go back to sleep first, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Wenfeng twitched the corner of his mouth.
Damn old! Can people be the same age?
……
It was nearly the third watch when Lu Qian left the palace.
He stood in front of the imperial city and looked back. The majestic palace walls symbolized the supreme power in the world.
He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. He only hoped that what he brought to the country was a glimmer of hope rather than the source of trouble.
At this time, the emperor also left the Mingguang Hall.
"Go to Qianqiu Palace."
"Yes."
The imperial chariot was lifted up~IndoMTL.com~ and headed towards Qianqiu Palace.
Concubine Pei, who was still painting, went out to greet her.
"My beloved, are you still up so late?" the emperor asked softly.
Concubine Pei smiled and said, "Where can I sleep tonight?"
The emperor was thoughtful: "Do you miss Shu'er?"
Concubine Pei personally served him to cleanse his face and wash his hands: "Firstly, I am happy that he has finally grown up, no longer fools around like that, and can do some serious things. Secondly, I am happy for Your Majesty, the northwest has been victorious, and your achievements will shine in the annals of history." ”
The emperor showed a faint smile and cheered up: "So my dear concubine, you are still painting to celebrate so late at night? Let me see what you have painted."
Concubine Pei smiled and asked the palace servants to get drawing paper.
The emperor looked closely and saw green mountains and flowing water, stretching for thousands of miles.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the country will be forever solid."
The emperor helped Concubine Pei up with a complicated expression: "This is certainly a happy event, but the rumors have become more and more wild recently. Aren't you worried, concubine?"
The smile on Concubine Pei's face froze and she asked nervously: "Your Majesty, you said before that you don't need to worry about this matter. Could it be that something went wrong again?"
The emperor looked at her deeply and saw her nervous and doubtful expression. He felt relieved and said, "It's a bit troublesome. However, I have already thought about it. This time it will be settled once and for all, and my beloved concubine will no longer have to worry about it in the future. ."
Concubine Pei laughed: "I believe in your majesty." She asked happily, "Your majesty will let Shu'er come back? I haven't seen him for two years and I don't know how he is now. Can your majesty let him come back?" Stay in the capital for a while longer? It’s bitterly cold in the northwest. Let him go after the winter..."
The emperor responded calmly and said to himself that he didn't have to go out when he came back this time.
Compared with letting the tiger go back to the mountain, it's better to stay around and feel sick.
