Chapter 535 Turning Point (3)
Except for An Guogong and a few of his loyal supporters who are still stubbornly resisting, insisting not to "pass the virtuous elders and rebel against the younger ones", the other ministers and workers soon remained silent.

After all, this was a contest of unequal strength from the very beginning. Even if the ministers broke their lips, it might be useless. An imperial decree from the emperor is enough to change anyone's order!
This day, as soon as Lu Zhongmian came back to his mansion, he came to Rongtaiju to greet the old man and Mrs. Lu. Seeing his son's tired face, the old man said, "Look at you being so tired. Could it be that you are going to court again today?" Arguing?"

Lu Zhongmian nodded helplessly and said: "No, but fortunately, such days should be coming to an end soon."

"Oh?" Hearing this, the old man immediately sat up straight, and his eyes became sharper: "Could it be that there is a big turning point today?"

Just as Lu Zhongmian was about to speak, he suddenly saw Nanny Zhang and Lu Mingxuan standing behind Mrs. Lu with their left and right eyes watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and hearts. After taking a look at them, the old man told them: "You Everyone retreat first, don't come in without being told!"

Although Lu Mingxuan wanted to stay with all her heart, and listened to what Lu Zhongmian would say later, and what the "big turning point" the old man was talking about, but the old man had already spoken, and she had no choice but to stay. There was no other way but to kneel down and salute with Madam Zhang, and retreated lightly.

Only then did Lu Zhongmian talk about today's announcement of Tang Shoufu's official appointment, and at the end he smacked his tongue and said, "Earlier, my son knew that the emperor was determined to establish King Ning, but he still didn't expect that the emperor's attitude would be so tough that even a head of state Fudu was forced to retire so quickly by him, now let's see who dares to make a fuss, and everyone can finally live a peaceful life for a few days."

He sighed again: "It's Mr. Tang himself who doesn't manage his family strictly, otherwise why would he be forced to do this by the emperor? After all, the emperor still thinks that he has worked so hard for so many years without merit, so that he can retire with honor, so that he won't lose his life at the end of the year." Otherwise, I will really lose all face!"

Apparently the emperor asked Jin Yiwei to search for crimes against Tang Shoufu's relatives and family members. Although it is secret, people who have their own secret information channels, such as Lu Zhongmian, still know about it.

The old man said: "Don't say that Mr. Tang is an extremely personable minister, even if it is an ordinary official, whose relatives and clansmen have not done something out of the ordinary? The emperor usually doesn't care about it, it doesn't mean he doesn't know, it's just that Knowing that 'when the water is clear, there will be no fish', I don't want to care about it, and I don't bother to care about it. Once the emperor seriously cares about it, who will be spared? That's why I asked you to show your support for the emperor, King Li Ning. The relationship with the Xu family is too deep, so I didn't express my attitude at the beginning. Who knows what will happen to our family after the new emperor ascends the throne? In this way, our family will not be regarded as a "pure minister". Our family will start from scratch. In the end, they acted according to the emperor's will, not just King Ning, who is very different from He Zhao and his son!"

To put it bluntly, it is also to leave a way out for any earth-shattering changes in the future. Although such a thing seems unlikely at the moment, I am not afraid of ten thousand, I am afraid of ten thousand. Many things can only be done by being prepared safe after.

Although Lu Mingxuan followed Nanny Zhang out of Mrs. Lu's inner room, her heart still stayed in the room, scratching her heart and lungs, wanting to know what Lu Zhongmian meant by "fortunately, these days should be coming to an end soon", —I just hope it's not what she thinks.

But hope turns to hope, but she has a very ominous premonition in her heart, feeling that things are very likely to develop towards the result she least expects to see: King Ning is really going to be crowned prince this time, and Ling Mengqi But what should I do?
One day when the emperor is here, because of Concubine Luo Gui, he can still barely keep his property and life. Once the emperor dies, King Ning will become the emperor as the heir. Ling Mengqi will be in danger, unless the king can die Then King Ning was pulled down from the position of Prince; or if King Ning did something outrageous, the emperor had to decree to abolish him and replace him with King Duan; what's more, King Duan rebelled directly!

But the current situation is obviously that none of the three is possible. The emperor has a so-called new favorite, but he values ​​Concubine Luo more. After the storm, the relationship between the two has become stronger and more stable. Unless Concubine Luo Gui died first, King Ning would lose his biggest amulet.

Then the problem has come back to the original point. Ling Mengqi can live to this day, and he can still be a fourth-rank co-knowledge. Whether they want to admit it or not, they have to admit that this has a lot to do with the existence of Concubine Luo. When the imperial concubine dies, there is no need to wait for King Duan to replace King Ning, the Emperor and King Ning may have already ordered Ling Mengqi's life.

And it is even more impossible for King Duan to kill the king and father than to let the emperor not stand up for King Ning and stand up for him. He is as strong as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty. It's not that Lu Mingxuan looks down on Prince Duan, thinking that he must be inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang, but Taizong of Tang is actually the only one so far!

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help waiting anxiously for the dark to come. These days, officials from the Lichang and Lixian sects in the court have criticized each other. Ling Mengqi has followed up and told her that if there is a major turning point in the court today, she believes that he will Will definitely come to him.

What Lu Mingxuan didn't expect was that she didn't have to wait for Ling Mengqi to come to him at night, she already knew what the old man called the "big turning point", and it was Mrs. Lu who told her.

The old man talked with Lu Zhongmian for a while, and seeing that Mrs. Lu was already tired, he called Nanny Zhang and Lu Mingxuan to take care of him, while his father and son went to the small study that the old man now set up in Rongtaiju keep talking.

Mrs. Lu asked Nanny Zhang and Lu Mingxuan to serve her on the bed, then she lowered her voice and smiled to Lu Mingxuan, "Just now your uncle said that the emperor granted Mr. Tang Ge to return to his hometown today, but it was because A while ago, Mr. Tang Ge opposed His Majesty King Li Ning to be the crown prince. Even the dignified chief minister ended up like this because of his opposition to the Emperor Li Ning King. You can imagine the determination of the Emperor Li Ning King. When King Ning becomes the crown prince, Meng Qi can be considered Get over it, and your great fortune will be in the future!"

Great luck?Obviously it's bad luck, okay?
It was with great difficulty that Lu Mingxuan suppressed the evil words that were about to blurt out, and forced a smile: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future, after all, it is up to people to make things happen, and whether there is great luck or not, we have to wait until we get there." Only then will we know!"

Although he was smiling reluctantly, his heart had already sunk to the bottom of the abyss. He never expected that the emperor would value Luo Guifei's mother and son to such an extent. Just like Mrs. Lu said just now, even the dignified chief minister was belittled in a disguised form. Now, who can stop the emperor's determination?

Mrs. Lu was really happy for Lu Mingxuan, otherwise, she would not have casually told Lu Mingxuan about such a thing, because she laughed again: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but the imperial concubine values ​​us to Meng Qi It's all in the eyes, can she still let her own son not be praised and reused, but instead be promoted and used by others? You child, sometimes you are too sensible!"
