Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 977
There hasn't been much movement in the palace or the Lu family recently. It seems that the woman Yinghong didn't tell them any useful news.

Chang Anbo originally wanted to keep a low profile for a while and wait for things to calm down before continuing his revenge plan, but now it seems that the Lu family is just a bluff, not as powerful as they thought, just embroidered pillows.

In this way, his plan can be put on the agenda.

His purpose is not just to let Lu Baichuan have nothing to do and be unemployed at home. What he wants is for the Lu family to go back to where they came from, otherwise he will never be able to swallow his bad breath!

Lu Lao Er and Lu Lao Er started to learn about relevant news in the city on the second day after arriving here. The more they inquired, the more worried they became about Lu Baichuan. It turned out that the third brother was so sad in the country. He clearly sacrificed his heart and soul for the imperial court, but still To be framed like this.

It just so happened that their older brothers didn't have much ability, so they knew the situation and couldn't help much.

"Brother, why did things become like this? Isn't it said that the third brother is highly valued by the emperor? How come such a thing happened but the emperor did not make the decision for the third brother?"

Lu Laoer was very puzzled. In his understanding, the emperor was the greatest. Wouldn't it be easy for the emperor to protect someone?

With the current situation of the third brother, wouldn't it mean that the emperor would burn bridges when he crossed the river? When he became the emperor, he would not care about the life and death of his old troops, right?
He has always been honest, but he will not fail to consider these things. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Thinking like this, I felt a little angry and wanted to complain for my brother.

Boss Lu immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't Third Brother say that we don't know what to do and just do whatever we need to do? We can't help you now. All we can do is do our own thing well. Don't do anything. Third brother can just cause trouble."

Compared with Lu Lao Er's one-sided view, Lu Lao Da considered it more. It is impossible for his third brother to become a second-rank minister in such a short period of time just by working hard. My younger brother has been much smarter than the two older brothers since he was a child, and he is naturally scheming.

When you don't understand the whole story, you can't let the wind take its course.

Lu Laoer was a little angry at first, but after hearing what his elder brother said, his anger dropped a lot. He was not smart, so he had to listen to the arrangements of smart people.

Jiang Jiuniang began to personally lead her two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law to walk around the streets to understand the basic situation, which would also be helpful for their upcoming business.

Everyone has something to be busy with, and everything seems calm, but in fact there are surging waves.

A few days later, Lu Baichuan received an urgent letter from Prince Jing. After reading it, Lu Baichuan went to Qin Jian and the two discussed the plan.

"Prince Jing said that the situation at the border is becoming increasingly out of control. Feng Cheng is determined to go his own way. He is still unconvinced after two defeats. He is currently preparing to attack the enemy camp at night, and he will probably suffer a loss."

"Our affairs cannot be delayed any longer."

Lu Baichuan looked solemn. It was okay for Feng Cheng to want to die, and he would be happy to see it happen, but he couldn't joke with the lives of the soldiers and the people at the border.

He wanted to settle everything in the capital before setting off, but it was impossible for Dongting to wait for him forever, and they might even capture a few more cities because he failed to lead troops.

Qin Jian was recently married, so naturally he didn't care whether he went or not. If he had time to think about it, he might as well spend more time with his wife.

But this does not mean that he has no sense of responsibility. No matter how much he enjoys the flowers and the moon, he cannot ignore the war on the border.

He nodded and said, "We really can't delay it any longer. We'll take care of things in the next few days and we'll hurry up and get there."

"It seems we have to force Chang Anbo to do something."

*
Chang Anbo was still hesitating when to take action when he suddenly received information that he might have been exposed. It was said that someone saw a servant of the Lu family around, apparently coming to stay.

So, Lu Baichuan was beginning to doubt him?
Chang Anbo immediately became vigilant. Lu Baichuan didn't say anything in the court, which meant that he only had some doubts about him and there was no substantial evidence.Then he must be pulled down before he finds the evidence!
Chang Anbo gritted his teeth, success or failure depended on this. If he didn't seize the opportunity this time, the emperor would definitely reuse Lu Baichuan in the future.

He went out all night to find someone to find a solution, but he didn't know that he was the big fish in the pond.

When he went to court the next day, the emperor looked like he had a headache, his face was not very good, and he seemed to be having a headache about something.

Someone immediately stood up to warm up the cold and take advantage of this moment to flatter the emperor.

The emperor planned for those people to show their courtesy and said directly: "There have been bandits in the Xingchun Mountain area recently, and the imperial court is suffering from internal and external troubles. How can I sleep peacefully?"

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were a little stunned. There was a banditry?Why haven't they heard of it?

So someone else asked: "Your Majesty, how could this happen? None of my ministers have received any relevant information!"

The emperor glanced at the man coldly and said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm also curious about why you didn't receive the news. It's because I trust the courtiers, but one or two are not doing their jobs properly, and they don't even know that such a big thing has happened! If it weren't for My news is fast enough, the people around you will be wiped out and you don’t even know it!”

When the emperor was angry, those people knelt down to apologize, but the emperor was too lazy to watch them act like this. He said directly: "Since there is a bandit trouble, we must fight it. Who do you think it would be better to send?"

So, someone thought of Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian. Anyway, they were idle and could just help the emperor relieve his worries.

"Your Majesty, General Lu has nothing to do lately, why not send him there?"

The emperor continued to sneer: "Lu Aiqing's qualifications are mediocre and it is difficult for her to take on big responsibilities. Let's find another one."

Cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads instantly. Lu Baichuan was only a second-rank official at such a young age, so how could he have mediocre qualifications?

Your Majesty, isn't this a joke?
However, some smart people thought that the emperor was ridiculing them for not allowing Lu Baichuan to lead troops on an expedition, so they decided to explain: "Although General Lu is not qualified to lead troops on an expedition, suppressing bandits is not a problem. I believe General Lu is also very capable." I am willing to share the emperor’s worries.”

With the high hat on, Lu Baichuan had no choice but to agree even if he didn't want to.

But he never spoke, just waiting for others to keep cueing him.

The emperor also had a tacit understanding and never took the initiative to speak to him. No matter which minister spoke, he refused.

"Lu Aiqing is too young. How can he be the opponent of those bandits? Don't let him cause trouble for me."

Everyone's voice trembled: "What about General Qin?"

The emperor continued to deny: "Qin Aiqing's qualifications are not as good as Lu Aiqing's, and Qin Aiqing's wedding is about to happen. Even for the queen's sake, I can't let people go to suppress bandits during their wedding."

The civil servants didn't know what the emperor meant. They felt that he was targeting them, but they were not sure.

They looked at each other, but no one wanted to speak.

At this moment, Chang Anbo took a deep breath and stood up.
