The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 164 The Heart of the Lou Family (2)

This is something that Lou did not expect. When he heard him talking about Wen, he was slightly taken aback, because Lan and Wen had not fought for several years, and although Wen was not big, it The army is strong, if there is a real fight, it will not be cheap.

Putting it this way, Lou actually has no reason to doubt what Li Xiaochuan said.

"What does the lord want this old man to do?" Lou Jing finally temporarily forgot the pain of losing his daughter, and said seriously.

Li Xiaochuan pursed his lips.

"Push the boat with the current."

. . .

Lou Anqiao was buried in the end, because Li Xiaochuan visited secretly, so no one knew about the conversation, only that Lou Jing seemed to have figured it out suddenly, started to eat, and no longer immersed in sorrow all day , and the only obvious thing is that he started to deliberately target the Meng family.

On the second day, Li Xiaochuan really set off to the border between Wen Kingdom and Lan Kingdom. This battle was considered sudden, so the troops were dispatched without anyone noticing. What they wanted was such a sneak attack.

After Lou Anqiao was buried, the emperor's imperial decree arrived.

"Shengtian said, the emperor's edict said: Lou Anqiao, the daughter of the Lou family, intentionally harmed my unborn grandson, and has been punished. It is because Lou Zuoxiang has been an official for many years to solve my worries and problems. The matter of murdering the prince Lou Anqiao is responsible for it alone, I appreciate it!"

Lou actually listened to the imperial decree, as if it was a slap on his face. The ugly part was his own negligence that pushed his daughter to such an unbearable position, but at this moment, it was not him who should be held accountable. when.

Because even if he pursued it, things still wouldn't change.

"The minister accepts the order, thank the emperor for his grace!"

Lou actually knelt down and received the imperial edict with both hands.

After delivering the imperial decree, Eunuch Li stretched out his hand to help Lou Jing up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lou Zuo, the emperor has been sympathetic to you for the sake of the heartache of losing your daughter and has not disturbed you. The eldest lady has already been buried, and Lou looks from left to right, should he go to court on time tomorrow?" After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Lou might misunderstand, and then explained: "The emperor has been talking about it every day for the past few days. Look at Lou Zuoxiang, saying that if Zuoxiang doesn't go to court, many things can't be resolved perfectly, it's because the emperor misses you!"

Lou Jing followed Eunuch Li's words, smiled very subtly and said: "Eunuch Li, don't worry, the old man will go to court tomorrow, and Eunuch Li will go back and report to the emperor. The old man is fine now, please don't worry about it. .”

"That's good, that's good, if that's the case, the miscellaneous family will leave first."

After speaking, Eunuch Li left Lou's house.

On the second day, as Lou Jing said, he went to the morning court on time. The officials who hadn’t seen Lou Jing for a long time finally saw Lou Jing. They couldn’t help but look at Lou Jing up and down. After a while, you can see that Lou Jing has lost a lot of weight, but he is still full of energy.

"Haha, Lou Aiqing, you are finally here." Seeing Lou He at the bottom, the emperor smiled and said.

Lou Jing stood in the center of the hall, bowed respectfully to Lou Jing and said, "Your Majesty pays homage to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

"Quickly get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

The face of the emperor could not see the pain of losing his grandson at all, but he still looked about the same as usual. Although Lou Jing was indignant about the appearance of the emperor in his heart, his status was like this. Even if he was unhappy, this This thing still has to be faced.

Lou Jing returned to the position where he was standing at the beginning, in the opposite direction to the right minister Meng Zhong. Lou Jing's eyes slightly turned to Meng Yizhen, with a coldness that had never been seen before.

Just this one action made Meng Zhong's heart like a mirror.

However, the queen has already told him that no matter what happens, she, the queen, will take care of it, so there is no need to worry about it.

Meng Zhong suppressed the unpleasant feeling in his heart and stabilized his mind.

"Loves, there have been frequent rains and floods in the south of the Yangtze River recently. The local officials below have reported to me for advice. Do you know how to solve the floods?" the emperor said with a frowning face.

After the emperor finished speaking, Meng Zhong stood up amidst the discussions below.

"I feel that the most urgent thing is to stabilize the people first. The emperor might as well open up the treasury and allocate some food for emergency. After all, water control is not something that can be done overnight."

"Well, that makes sense."

"I feel that the right minister's suggestion is very inappropriate." Lou Jing also walked to the center at the same time, stood on the same line with Meng Zhong, and said to the emperor without looking at Meng Zhong.

The emperor immediately became interested and asked, "Oh? What does Lou Aiqing think is wrong?"

"If the flood is not cured, even if the national treasury is emptied, it will not help. I feel that the most urgent task is to stop the flood so that more people will not suffer!"

After Lou Jing finished speaking, the emperor nodded again, looked at Meng Zhong with a gracious expression, and said, "I think Lou Aiqing's words are very true. Does Meng Aiqing have anything else to say?"

Although the left and right sides are opposites on weekdays, they are different from today's confrontation with swords and swords, and others also know the reason why Lou is targeting Meng Zhong in this way.

Even if it was placed on someone else, it would probably be the same as Lou Jing, because the daughter of the other party's confession made Lou Jing's daughter be beheaded in this way, even if it was placed on someone else, this tone is also I will definitely not be able to swallow it. At this time, I am just arguing a few sentences in the court.

"I still feel that we should rescue the disaster victims first. Disaster relief does not happen overnight. If several people starve to death because of disaster relief, I am afraid that the people's complaints against the court will become more and more serious." Meng Zhong has always been against Lou Jing. , At this time, such a thing happened. According to the usual logic, it was Lou Jing's daughter who killed his daughter's child, and he should treat it like this.

After hearing this, Lou Jing directly set his eyes on Meng Zhong, his eyes were cold.

"It's very pleasant to say, but it's not guaranteed that some people will use the food in the treasury to deduct some from it. The food that gets into the hands of the people is enough for the people to still live a life that is about to starve to death. What Lou Jing said meant something, Meng Zhong blew his beard and stared.

"you!"

"Okay, okay, it's just a disaster. Don't hurt your peace because of it. I know that the two of you are very uncomfortable because of the children's affairs, but it has already happened. If you say that, then Lou Aiqing should blame me even more."

The emperor said half-jokingly, and looked at Lou Jing with a smile. It was obvious that he was joking, but only the emperor himself knew how much of what he said was true.

Lou actually didn't make a sound, neither denied nor admitted.

Of course he blamed the emperor, but who was the other party, even if he blamed him, it was of no use, it was like joking when he said it this time.

The emperor knew it well, and didn't reveal it, and said something else before announcing his withdrawal from the court. Lou Jing and Meng Zhong walked out of the court hall together, and by the time they reached the door, all the other officials had left up.

"Congratulations, Lou Zuoxiang, the emperor didn't blame you for your daughter's affairs, he only felt sorry for the old man's poor grandson." Meng Zhong said in a strange tone as if deliberately finding fault.

If Meng Zhong didn't speak, Lou Jing might not have said anything, but the other party was obviously not a calm person.

"Whether the truth is true or not, you, Meng Zhong, should be clearer than anyone else. If you slander my son's revenge, sooner or later, the truth will be returned with interest." After speaking, Lou Jing flung his sleeves and walked away. up.

Meng Zhong, who was behind him, looked at Lou Jing's back, his expression was unclear, and he left the palace after a while.

Li Xiaochuan left, but shed Yan down to protect Meng Yizhen. He didn't discuss this matter with Meng Yizhen at the beginning, but when he opened the door the next morning, he saw Yan standing at the door. At the beginning, Meng Yizhen was not willing to accept the fact that Yan did not go with Li Xiaochuan.

She forced Yan to keep up with Li Xiaochuan's team that hadn't gone far. However, Meng Yizhen had never seen Yan's expression at that time. Although the expression on the surface was still respectful, there was more resentment towards her. .

"My lord's order, Yan will obey to the death."

With just a simple sentence, all Meng Yizhen's words were blocked back and swallowed into his stomach.

Meng Yizhen wanted to go back to Zuo Xiangfu, but was stopped by Yan. From his mouth, Li Xiaochuan had already greeted Meng's house when he left, and she had been living in the palace before he came back. Li Xiaochuan personally Go to say hello, and there will be nothing unreasonable.

Then Meng Yi really thought about it, and felt that Li Xiaochuan's approach was indeed the best for her, after all, there were enemies on all sides, and nowhere was safe.

Afterwards, Meng Yi really wanted to go back to his mother's place to have a look, so he stopped by Zuo Xiang's mansion on the way. At this time, there was still a white cloth hanging on the door of Zuo Xiang's mansion, which looked like a funeral.

"Who is visiting!"

The servants at the door of the Meng Mansion blocked the way of Meng Yizhen and Yan, Yan stepped forward and came to Meng Yizhen, cupped his hands at the two servants and said: "Please inform the Prime Minister, Miss Meng is here to offer condolences."

The young man's expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand and pushed the two of them away forcefully, cursing and cursing in bad manner: "Get out! Our Lou family doesn't welcome people from the Meng family! Hurry up now!" Walk!"

Although they are servants, the eldest lady of the Lou family has always been kind to servants, and she would not believe that her eldest lady would kill the child of the crown princess, but the crown princess of the Meng family insisted that it was them Miss Jia killed her, and then she beheaded the poor eldest lady of their family. Now the whole Lou family looks very disliked by the Meng family.

Although Meng Yizhen was blocked by Yan, he was still caught off guard and pushed back a few steps.

Hearing the words in his mouth, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and didn't want to go back like this, so he hesitated for a while.

"Miss Meng?"

Suddenly Lou Jing's voice came from behind, Meng Yizhen turned around, and saw Lou Jing standing behind him looking at him, still wearing official uniform, as if he had just come back from morning.
