Zhu Ying certainly didn't believe that the second prince would actually turn over a new leaf. If he really wanted to change for the better, this guy would only change his temper and behavior. Why would he care about the life and death of the eldest prince
It would be fine if the eldest prince was the kind of elder brother who was sincere, kind and generous, but the eldest prince has always been the kind of villain who appears to be lenient on the outside but is jealous on the inside and has a narrow mind. No matter who the second prince forgives, he will never forgive him!
Not to mention the so-called reform of the Second Prince, when the fat guy Lu Sanlang turned over a new leaf, she even suspected that he was pretending. But later she found out that this boy was indeed extremely talented, and even Zhang Shou praised him highly. Later, he became the head of the Jiuzhang Hall and did a great job. Only then did she gradually correct her deep-rooted misconceptions.
At this moment, she beckoned Lu Sanlang to follow her into the house. Seeing the people accompanying her unloading the silk from the car that followed, she signaled them to send the silk in first, and then she and Lu Sanlang walked in slowly, saying as they walked: "Where did you hear these things? After your father resigned as the Minister of War, wasn't he, the chief academic officer of the public school, in a state of panic?"
"He was extremely anxious and busy, but he was widely praised, especially the seven words "Lu Shangshu, you can correct your mistakes", which were widely circulated in the capital. No one thought that he was afraid of your father and that's why he stepped down. Everyone thought that he was brave enough to admit his mistakes and take on responsibilities, regardless of his future."
The little fat man said with a smug smile: "As for whether he is really afraid of your father, only he knows. Besides, he is tired of being the Minister of War, especially with Minister Zhao eyeing him covetously every day. It would be better for him to jump out of the muddy water of the Ministry of War and work on his own. Now, he has quit the position of Minister of War, but Minister Zhao has never made it to that level."
"He was much more miserable than my father. He was sent to Guizhou to serve as the left councilor, and he didn't even get the title of governor! But it was my father who gave me the news. He has many students and old friends, not to mention..."
Lu Sanlang looked around, then tilted his head towards Zhu Ying and said in a low voice, "The Prime Minister Jiang Ge Lao is in a bad situation recently. The people under Grand Secretary Kong are making a fuss outside, saying that he is putting the blame for framing the meritorious officials on my father and is clinging to power. Grand Secretary Wu has not said anything, but Grand Secretary Zhang, who was promoted by the emperor last year, often confronts him."
"So before the emperor could easily express his position, Jiang Ge Lao was actually there to support the eldest prince and hold on to your eldest brother and the young master. But now he is holding on to the fact that the eldest son should not be guilty and the royal family should not be humiliated. He even blames the emperor for being tempted by strange instruments and sending the eldest prince to Cangzhou, so that he could not resist the temptation and made a big mistake... Isn't this just rubbing salt into the emperor's wounds?"
"The emperor seems to have improved his temper in recent years, but how can you not hate someone who takes advantage of his age?"
"Humph, that old fogy guy!"
Zhu Ying also disliked Lord Jiang. In fact, none of the noble sons and daughters of the capital liked Lord Jiang, because if they met him on the road, they would be severely scolded. Even Zhu Ying was like this. When she came back from a happy hunting trip, she had already stopped her horse to make way for others, but she was still scolded by Lord Jiang who stopped his sedan chair.
