When Lu Mansion arrived, Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing out of the car and walked into the courtyard. On the way, Wang Yanqing seemed to have a sudden emotion and said, "Jian Yun and Han Wenyan grew up together. In the past ten years, even a dog should have feelings. However, in order to save his job, Han Wenyan treated Jian Yun as a gift. Compensation to Ji Huan. In his heart, isn't his cousin's efforts in the past ten years or more comparable to that of a woman who has only known each other for half a year? "
Lu Heng didn't answer the call immediately, but after a while, he said casually, "He may not have no affection for Jian Yun, but he just lost his interest. If Chang Tinglan is not a wealthy family, he can bring money to men. The woman who helps, Han Wenyan will not sleep with Chang Tinglan."
Lu Heng's answer was very cold. He didn't comfort Wang Yanqing because Han Wenyan wasn't loving enough or Han Wenyan wasn't good enough. No other man in the world would do this. Instead, he showed Wang Yanqing the rational and realistic heart of men. Wang Yanqing was very reluctant to accept it, but after thinking about it for a while, her shoulders were still slack: "Yes, you are right."
Seeing Wang Yanqing's depression, Lu Heng smiled softly, took her hand, and pressed his palm secretly: "Qingqing, I'm sorry my answer is too realistic. But in the vast world, everything is selfish, and even Buddha only blesses those who worship him. Believers, what about mortals? You must first recognize the worst side of human nature, and no matter what happens later, you will not be surprised."
He also didn't want to see her gloomy look, but he still said these words deliberately. Lu Heng didn't know how much Wang Yanqing remembered, but her sympathy for Jian Yun's situation was nothing more than evoking subconscious memories and hurting others.
How similar this story is to the experiences of Wang Yanqing and Fu Tingzhou. Wang Yanqing also has a "brother" who has been with him for ten years. This elder brother also betrayed their feelings and chose another woman who could bring him benefits. The difference is probably that Fu Tingzhou would never hand Wang Yanqing over, but when another stronger man appeared, Fu Tingzhou still temporarily tolerated her staying with others in order to protect the interests of the Fu family.
In this sense, Fu Tingzhou and Lu Heng are probably higher-level Han Wenyan and Ji Huan. It's just that Lu Heng is smarter, stronger, more powerful, and more ruthless than Ji Huan.
Exchanging wives and cheating on each other is extremely disgraceful. In fact, it is not suitable for women who have not left the cabinet to listen to, but Lu Heng deliberately mentioned it, deliberately asked Wang Yanqing to ask questions, and then deliberately told her afterwards that even if a man has love in his heart, he will choose to benefit him. 's father-in-law.
If she recovers her memory in the future, this will be a thorn in her heart. The flesh thorn may seem inconspicuous, but when it happens unconsciously, it will always kill her feelings for Fu Tingzhou.
Of course, Lu Heng had to pick himself out in advance. If he didn't get to Fu Tingzhou, he would lead Wang Yanqing to suspect him first, then Lu Heng would lose more than the gain.
Wang Yanqing had to admit that Lu Heng was right, he was able to rise to the peak of power so quickly because he was sober enough and selfish enough. Han Wenyan would do this for a mere amount of money, and Lu Heng was in charge of Jinshan Yinhai and Chaotang Fengyun. If there was enough interest one day, what would he do
Wang Yanqing suddenly asked: "Everyone is selfish, what about you, brother?"
"I'm also selfish." Lu Heng readily admitted this, "Qingqing, everyone's heart is full of despicable calculations, but knowing one's inferiority does not mean that one will obey the drive of nature, that's what distinguishes people. In the place of birds and beasts. I am earning profits and being cautious, just because I only have one life, and I have no chance to start all over again. So, how can I give the rest of my life to a woman I don't love?"
Wang Yanqing sighed in his heart, this person really knows how to say, no wonder even the emperor was coaxed around by him. Wang Yanqing said, "What if one day you don't love me anymore?"
"Qingqing, believe in yourself." The autumn morning was deserted and desolate, the leaves rustled, and even the wind carried the breath of parting. Lu Heng clenched Wang Yanqing's hand, his slender and powerful palm continued to provide her with heat: "If what I like is your body and beauty, it is inevitable that you will love to lose your color; if what I like is yours What about the soul? As long as you are you, I will love you more and more."
Wang Yanqing exposed him without mercy: "I think you are the former."
Lu Heng's heart skipped a beat, how exposed he was some time ago, why did he leave the image of an old pervert in Wang Yanqing's heart? Lu Heng said quickly, "Qingqing, this is a misunderstanding. Even if I don't know anything, I won't be so shallow."
Wang Yanqing just snorted softly, obviously not believing his nonsense. She hadn't forgotten that last night he was still eager to move, trying to test on the edge of going back on his word and overbearing.
Lu Heng was very wronged, but after such a stubble, Lu Heng did not dare to continue to be a demon. He has been here for so many years, and it doesn't matter if he waits for a while. After the wedding night, there is time for him to enjoy himself.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger, the layers of forest are dyed, and the entire capital is shrouded in dark red and light yellow. The closing work of the banned book case was carried out in an orderly manner. Lu Heng specially sent people to Qingzhou, the hometown of Ji Huan and Jian Yun. After an investigation, he learned that before Jian Yun's family defected to her uncle, a relative on her father's side had been wrong because of a mistake. Eating a white mushroom in the wild, the whole family died.
Neighbors still had lingering fears when they talked about that incident. At first, their family just vomited and nauseated, and it looked like they had eaten a bad stomach, but after five or six days, they suddenly twitched and died, and it was too late to call Lang Zhong. Because of the horrific death, this matter spread widely in their area, and everyone warned their family members not to pick mushrooms in the wild.
From this, Jian Yun learned of the existence of the White Poison Umbrella, which is reasonable and reasonable.
After Lu Heng was sure that Jian Yun was not lying, he dared to believe Jian Yun's words. While Lu Heng ordered people to sort out the scattered manuscripts and sort them page by page, he interrogated Jian Yun and Ji Huan, and asked Marquis Wu Ding's true intentions for writing this book.
After they handed in the manuscript, whether Guo Xun was satisfied or not, and instructing them how to change it, these details are tantamount to a mirror, reflecting Guo Xun's heart one by one. These are all precious handles, and Lu Heng may never use them, but in the event of an accident, these are the most powerful weapons to bring down Guo Xun.
Ji and Han are both civilians in the market. Except for the neighbors in Jian'an Lane, no one noticed that they were gone. When the neighbors saw that the Ji family and the Han family did not open the door, they wentssip for a while, and gradually forgot about it. As for the Marquis of Wuding, no one would notice that a scholar who wrote a book had not come to the door for a long time.
The days continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye it entered October. Du Kang's concubine in the harem gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Zhu Zaicui. The emperor was overjoyed, and promoted the Du family to be Concubine Kang. Lu Heng also sorted out all the information in "The Legend of Heroes" and "Water Margin", and went to the palace to find the emperor.
Lu Heng told the emperor how Guo Xun instructed Ji Huan to write the book, how Ji Huan asked Jian Yun to write the book, and why Guo Xun wanted to publish "Water Margin". Of course, there is no need to delay the emperor's time for such messy things as exchanging cheats. After Lu Heng reported it, the emperor has almost grasped Guo Xun's thoughts.
The emperor sighed inwardly, it was so comfortable to have Lu Heng by his side. He was smart, capable, and would not be stymied by unnecessary morality. No matter what the emperor wanted to do, it could be done by Lu Heng.
There are some things that the emperor would not say to the cabinet, military generals, or even eunuchs, but he said it bluntly in front of Lu Heng. The emperor nodded and said, "You have worked hard during this time. I have a plan for banning the book, and then you don't have to follow it."
Lu Heng bowed his hands, the emperor said to stop, and Lu Heng left it immediately, without the slightest nostalgia. After the two of them finished talking about court affairs, the emperor thought of the newly added children in his harem, and couldn't help but gossip with Lu Heng: "I remember that you will be filial next month. You have never been married, and there are already many inside and outside. People have asked, what are your plans?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Lu Heng's eyes softened and he was no longer as serious as before. "My minister has made arrangements. After the filial piety is removed, the marriage will be completed soon."
The emperor is not a gossip person, but when he heard this, he still couldn't hold back and asked two more questions: "Is it Fu Tingzhou's adopted sister?"
Lu Heng is a wicked person and doesn't know what shame is. However, facing the emperor who knows the bottom line, he is somewhat embarrassed: "Yes."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, gave him a meaningful look, and said nothing more.
The emperor clearly does not interfere in the private affairs of his subjects, but if two powerful subjects marry, the emperor will take care of them. The emperor was originally worried that if Lu Hengzhao continued to develop like this, he would be the only one family, and he would no longer be restrained in the court. However, if Lu Heng wanted to marry Wang Yanqing, then this hidden danger would no longer exist.
Wang Yanqing has no background. His ancestors were military households who sacrificed their lives for the country. And Lu Heng's marriage to Wang Yanqing would be equivalent to eternal feud with Fu Tingzhou. Lu Heng and Guo Xun's party held each other up, which was a good thing for the emperor.
The court game is about checks and balances.
Lu Heng stood cheekily in the Qianqing Palace, and pretended not to notice the emperor's sight. After the emperor did not speak any more, Lu Heng knew that the emperor agreed.
Lu Heng had expected it for a long time, but it was really successful, and he was still relieved. His marriage is no longer a private matter, others have to obey the orders of his parents, and Lu Heng has to pass the emperor's test.
Now, the dark lines he carefully laid out over the past two years have come into effect, and he has once again got what he wants.
Lu Heng got what he wanted and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace with a smile, the corners of his eyes and his brows could not be concealed. Seeing him, the eunuch of Supervisor Sili came up to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Lu. What kind of happy event did Mr. Lu hear today, why are you in such a good mood?"
The smile in Lu Heng's eyes faded, only to realize that he was so obvious. Lu Heng has always maintained a good relationship with the eunuch. He didn't refuse this, but just stopped and said, "There are some private matters that I can't talk about right now. I'll invite my father-in-law for a drink in the future."
Those who survived in front of the emperor were all human beings, and the eunuch Sili understood it all at once, and smiled and cupped his hands: "So that's the case, then the miscellaneous family will congratulate Mr. Lu in advance."
Lu Heng was proud of his officialdom and had a fruitful love affair, and he was pleased with everyone he saw at the moment. However, it didn't take long for him to be in high spirits. In November, he suddenly received news from the palace.
The pregnant concubine Lu Jing gave birth to a prince. This is the third surviving son of the emperor. The emperor is very happy, and he is even more fortunate to Tao Zhongwen, who offered the elixir for childbirth. Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, Guo Xun once again mentioned the matter of giving his ancestor Guo Ying a seal.
The emperor didn't know what to think, but he agreed. He kindly allowed Guo Ying to share the honor of Taimiao with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other six kings side by side.
Guo Xun was very splendid for a while, and no one in the army could match his position.
Lu Heng didn't care about it. Guo Xun's investigation report was handed in by Lu Heng himself, and Lu Heng had already expected it. In a sense, Guo Xun was awarded the title because of Lu Heng. The emperor needed someone to balance Lu Heng, and Guo Xun was the most suitable candidate. What really affected Lu Heng was another thing.
Fu Tingzhou has made great contributions to defending Datong this year, and has repeatedly repelled the Mongols. Guo Xun asked Fu Tingzhou for merit before the Holy Spirit. The emperor was delighted, and with a stroke of his pen, he transferred Fu Tingzhou back to the capital.
Datong is the most important level in frontier defense. It has always been a springboard for military generals. It is conceivable that Fu Tingzhou will be promoted when he returns to Beijing this time.
When Lu Heng heard the news, his eyes went black. He even suspected that the emperor had a grudge against him.
Lu Heng held a ceremony to remove his clothes not long ago and officially gave his filial piety. While preparing for the wedding, he sent invitations to various provinces, and the wedding date was set for the first month of next year.
With only two months left, Fu Tingzhou suddenly came back. Can't the emperor let him save some snacks
