Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 495 I knew it earlier (1)
Lu Zhongmian also had a bad look on his face, but after all, it was his wife and daughter, so he couldn't really ignore them, so he could only bear with anger and said to his son: "We never sent someone to pick up your sister after you dealt with it? But your sister doesn't want to come back, I think Could it be that she was worried that the emperor would anger our family, so she went to probe the emperor's tone, but the emperor said that the eldest prince was just confused for a while, as long as he corrected it, let me be a father-in-law and an uncle, be more tolerant, after all, "I would rather demolish ten seats Temple, do not destroy a family', we are all a family, why should we be so serious? What else can we do!"

Lu Wenting couldn't help but his face was full of astonishment: "What does the emperor mean by taking away the title of prince from the eldest prince, and imprisoning people in the clan mansion, but not allowing us to bring my sister back? Could it be that she is planning to let her guard the empty palace?" Will the prince's mansion last a lifetime?"

Neither the old man nor Lu Zhongmian answered his question, but the old man asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Ting'er, have you ever thought about who is scheming this time?" The eldest prince?"

Anyone with a little brain can see that this time Lu Mingli is just a knife in someone else's hand, the key is who is the one wielding the knife!

Lu Wenting was also thinking about this question along the way, when he saw the old man asking, he thought about it and said: "The emperor has not set up a reserve so far, so I think it has something to do with it, but which His Royal Highness did it, but my grandson dare not speak nonsense. "

The old man scolded: "When did you learn to be sloppy with your own father and grandfather? You just said it was King Ning's handwriting. Could it be that your father and I will take advantage of you?"

Lu Wenting smiled shyly and didn't say anything. He was acquiescing to the old Duke's words. He really felt that this incident was the work of King Ning. After all, the eldest prince's reputation was ruined, and he was the one who benefited the most. Others would never harm others for free stop?
The old man became serious: "On the surface, it looks like King Ning's handwriting. After all, he has made the most profit. I'm afraid it's not just you. Many people think so. But because of this, King Ning is the least Maybe, as long as the queen is still the queen and the government of Anguo is still there, he can't sit back and relax if he beats the snake to death but suffers from it. Moreover, he is fledgling, neither has the ability nor is it worth doing. Everyone knows the emperor I love him the most. As long as the emperor is still around, he will take the initiative. On the contrary, the eldest prince and the empress are extremely passive. Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes, and it’s not bad if you don’t do it!”

"I did always think it was King Ning." Lu Wenting frowned, "But now that my grandfather said so, it doesn't look like King Ning did it, but if it wasn't King Ning, who would it be? King Ping is blind If you lose your eyes, it is doomed to be impossible to get that seat again, if it is not King Ning, could it be that King Duan failed, the purpose is to provoke a fight between the First Prince and King Ning, he is a fisherman who will benefit from it?"

The old man said: "Your guess is not unreasonable. After all, the emperor only has four princes. It is impossible for other people to make wedding dresses for them for nothing. But what if it is not Prince Duan? Then there is the attitude of the emperor. Don't you think it's a little strange? When such a scandal happened, you didn't want to refute the rumors for the eldest prince, but let the rumors spread to everyone in the capital, and let the Qi family live well. What is the use of the Qi family in the future... To put it bluntly, if you are the one who happened today, your father and I will try to wipe out the entire Qi family. For the sake of expressing hatred, let alone the emperor, the king and ministers have to die, but he has not done anything to the Qi family, don't you think it's strange?"

That's right, the son has such a scandal, isn't the first thing a father should do is to cover up the turnover for his son and try every means to minimize the bad influence?The emperor's attitude is indeed too strange, could it be... as if the earth was shocked, an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed in Lu Wenting's mind, and he couldn't help shouting: "Could it be... the emperor's handwriting?"

As soon as Lu Wenting said the words, he felt that his idea was extremely absurd. Even if the eldest prince was not loved by the emperor, he was still the emperor's own son. The emperor may not love him, but he would never personally design his own son to be ruined. Who is the father? , Can you do such a thing to your own son?
But after thinking about it, although the emperor is a father, he is the king of a country first, so it is destined that he will not treat his sons like the father of ordinary people; Most of the public house belongs to me, but I will never treat my younger brothers badly, and my younger brothers will not be so different from me because of their certain status, and feel grievances, everyone will only be of one mind Work together to make the family more prosperous.

But there is only one crown prince, and there is only one dragon chair that is the most prestigious in the world, and the emperor only favors Concubine Luo and Prince Ning, so naturally he will not just sit and watch his beloved woman and son become inferior to others in the future!

However, it is not so easy to abolish the sons and daughters, abolish the elders and establish the young, even in ordinary families, let alone in the royal family where every word and deed is concerned by the world, "the emperor has no family, family affairs are state affairs; the emperor is selfless." I only have Jiangshan Sheji in my heart, otherwise, the emperor would not have come down for so many years, and failed to get his wish. King Ning was appointed as the prince, because the emperor knew that the civil and military officials would not agree, and he himself could not stand up morally. The public opinion will be unfavorable to him and King Ning, otherwise the world will learn from him not to set up a heir but to set up a concubine, and the world will be in chaos.

Originally, the emperor insisted on setting up King Ning, but there was nothing he could do about it. The eldest prince had the support of civil and military officials and public opinion. In the final analysis, it was because of his status as the eldest son that he was born to be orthodox. If Empress Xu was no longer the The empress of the main palace, the empress of the main palace became Concubine Luo, so the eldest prince would no longer be a concubine, and King Ning would no longer be a concubine. In this way, even if the eldest prince still occupies the position of chief, he is no more noble than King Ning.

However, it is not so easy to abolish Empress Xu and establish Concubine Luo. Not to mention that Empress Xu has been in the world for many years and has never made any mistakes. There will be no compromise, and "don't take concubines as wives" is an ancient motto. If the emperor insists on abolishing his wife and making a concubine his favorite, the result will be the same as if he did not establish a concubine instead of a concubine. The world will also be chaotic, and the price will be too high some.

How could it be so easy and easy to make use of the eldest prince's own indiscretions to make a fuss, to let the eldest prince be rejected by all civil and military officials because of his personal moral disadvantages, and to be unworthy of being the lord of the world because of his ruined reputation?
In this way, everything is not difficult to explain. Before the eldest prince was deposed, he was still the prince. How could he not have a few loyal confidantes, and how could there not be a few brave and scheming personal guards around him?But he was stuck on the bed led by Lu Mingli with a group of girls who were supposed to be helpless, and the matter spread to everyone in the capital within a few days. Mingli's master and servant also disappeared immediately, and the dark forces in Dingguo's mansion could not find any clues about her whereabouts. Only relying on King Ning, a young prince who has not yet married and built a mansion, and has not yet grown wings. These things have been done in just a few months without leaving any traces, I'm afraid there are still some things missing.
