No one knew what Cao Dejiang had done. He only knew that just half a day after the morning court, the whole capital knew about the entanglement between the Lu family and the newly-elected Yiyang County Lord in Jiyun Lane.
The Lu family's "gift of books" to repay debts spread throughout the streets and alleys, and Song Tangning planned to build a college. He was willing to place the Lu family's collection of books and the lonely books left by Grand Tutor Rong in the academy. The incident of students all over the world's borrowing was also very popular.
Song Tangning's reputation improved instantly, and when the students in the teahouse and wine house were talking, they were grateful and praised his righteousness.
The Lu family is the opposite. Giving half of the books to collect is not only no benefit, but has become a stepping stone to raise Song Tangning.
Everyone talks about the Lu family, saying that the Lu family is hypocritical, saying that they deceived the dowry of an unmarried girl, and there are rumors that although the Lu family promised to appease Song Tangning, they wanted to be cunning and unwilling to give it to each other with their collection of books, saying that they were just I want to gain a good reputation and want to go back on my word.
The Lu family was pushed to the forefront in a short time. Lu Chongyuan finally woke up and heard the rumors outside , and he spit out another mouthful of blood.
He was so angry that he trembled all over, and grabbed the edge of the bed and said with a hissing: "Let Song Tangning come, let her come tomorrow."
The Lu family is willing to give up those books, and they will never leave anyone's words! !
Lu Chongyuan hissed, "Let her and Xiao Yan come tomorrow... Cough cough cough..."
"Father, don't be angry..."
Lu Zhao quickly calmed down for him, turned his head and glared at the verbal manager, and asked someone to go to Jiyun Lane to pass the message, asking Song Tangning to come tomorrow.
Lu Chongyuan coughed a few times, feeling that his heart, liver, spleen and lungs seemed to be fighting, and his face was bloodless. He finally suppressed the fishy and sweet throat, and he said with a pale face : "How many people have come to this family?"
Lu Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Everything is here."
Seeing that he wanted to speak but stopped, Lu Chongyuan took a deep breath and asked, "Are they making trouble?"
Lu Zhao pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak.
Lu Chongyuan said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what's going on outside?"
Seeing that he was angry, Lu Zhao didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and just said carefully: "Everyone knows about the academy, and I don't know who made the trouble from it, which made the Lu family famous outside the outside world, and the other families suffered a little. Involved, coupled with the Lu family's gift of books, they all wanted to ask their father why he promised Song Tangning to give up the benefits to support those poor students."
"It's okay for others. Although the second brother is suppressing her, they dare not go too far, but the Cui family and the others directly question whether this matter is related to the queen. Cui Lin seemed to know what the fourth prince did and said that our Lu family was He was using the interests of all the aristocratic families to fill the mess of the fourth prince, paving the way for those poor students, and saying..."
"What else do you say?"
Lu Zhao lowered his voice : "You are too selfish and do not deserve to lead the aristocratic family."
Lu Chongyuan's chest was undulating, and his eyes were dark.
Lu Zhao kept paying attention to his situation. Seeing this, he was so scared that he quickly calmed down for him. Finally, he saw that the stiff blue on his face faded a little, and then said anxiously:
"Dad, don't be angry. Cui Lin has ambitions and is dissatisfied with you. He had previously had private contact with the second prince. Father, you have never been concerned about the aristocratic family. Don't worry, I won't let Cui Lin make trouble... "
"No, let him make trouble."
"Father?"
Lu Zhao spoke in shock.
Lu Chongyuan gasped and grabbed Lu Zhao's wrist and said, "This time the Lu family has committed public anger. If they insist on forcing them to suppress them, they will only accumulate resentment. Moreover, the queen's actions this time are too disappointing. The fourth prince's smooth sailing has made them and their mother forget who they rely on. "
He remembered the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin sent by the queen, and remembered the humiliation he suffered last night. His breathing became a little short of time, but his face was already showing signs of harshness when his chest hurt.
"Since Cui Lin wants to assist the second prince, let him go. If they want to choose another master, they will let them."
Lu Chongyuan breathed slightly and said, "You only explained to the other few families that the most taboo under the imperial power is to sway left and right to serve the second master. Some of them have long been tied to the fourth prince. Even if they turn to the second prince, it will be difficult for him to trust. Lending power to him may make him rely on it, but if the second prince gets power in the future, he will definitely be upset about what he is today."
"If they are not afraid of the rebellion of the king and his ministers in the future, they can follow Cui Lin."
People from those families have always been without seeing rabbits and eagles. They cannot take risks. Even if they really get up, they dare not follow Cui Lin blatantly.
The Lu family can't suppress them at the moment, so it's better to let them go. It can not only use them to shock the queen and son, but also let Queen Lu understand that the Lu family is not obliged to them, but also to make them vent their dissatisfaction.
As for the others, after this incident, he naturally had a way to appease those people. As long as there was enough benefits, they would not be willing to abandon the Lu family and turn to the Cao family.
Lu Zhao whispered , "Father, how can we deal with the queen?"
Lu Chongyuan said, "The Queen is from the Lu family's blood."
"But she didn't treat herself as a member of the Lu family at all."
Lu Zhao couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, "This time the matter was so big, everyone outside knew that you were sick, and even people from the aristocratic family came to you, but the fourth prince never visited you from beginning to end, and the queen ignored you. No concern at all without asking."
They are indeed not close relatives of Queen Lu's bloodline, but at least they are from the same clan. In the eyes of outsiders, she is also her father's daughter.
But the queen and the fourth prince are reluctant to do superficial skills. How can people not feel disgusted with such a cold and disgusting?
Lu Chongyuan's breathing was up and down, and he was also disappointed with Empress Lu: "The queen is the blood of the Lu family, but the future emperor may not be the fourth prince."
Lu Zhao suddenly raised his eyes: "Father said..."
"It has been used to command the princes since ancient times."
Lu Chongyuan had a pale face and said something particularly cold: "The person sent to the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the clan for a long time has not been pregnant for a long time. I just thought the fate had not come, but now it seems that their mother and son have probably been on guard against the Lu family for a long time. Let's choose two people to send in, so there is no need to let the fourth prince know their relationship with the Lu family, just let them keep the Lu family's bloodline as soon as possible."
He paused,
"Go and ask the pharmacist in the mansion to prepare the pregnancy-inducing items for them, and there is no need to worry about the body of the fourth prince."
Since the queen does not care about the Lu family, the Lu family does not have to treat it too well. They still assist the fourth prince, but the Lu family has the final say who the emperor will be in the future.
Lu Chongyuan looked at his eldest son: "You must not let anyone know about this matter. Apart from you and me, even your mother and second brother cannot tell you. You can choose the person sent to the Fourth Prince's Mansion by yourself. It is easy to control and control it. As for the pharmacists who prepare medicine for them, they should silence their mouths directly after they finish the work, so as not to leave any future troubles."
Lu Zhao's expression tightened: "Don't worry, Father, I understand."
Lu Chongyuan took a deep breath and looked out the window. The night outside was as deep as water, and the full moon hung high: "When Song Tangning passed by the mansion tomorrow, you go to the imperial prison."
Lu Zhao was shocked and suspicious : "But Xiao Yan stopped me, I can't see Sanlang..."
"He will let you see."
Lu Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Seeing that Lu Chongyuan had already lowered his eyes and stopped talking, he could only suppress the doubts that had reached his mouth and whispered, "Yes, I'll go tomorrow."
