Chapter 165 A ridiculous thing
Unexpectedly, she asked this question directly. Lu Lingxuan lowered her eyes and sneered for a while, then looked at her and replied: "When you really defeat me, I will tell you, how did she die? Why? And die?"
"Xiao Jinyu, I admit that you are very smart, even more intelligent than your mother, but you are still too naive. Do you really believe that there is justice in this world?"
"As someone who has experienced this, and even as your mother's friend, I would like to advise you that for now, just be your Princess Lanling with peace of mind and enjoy the love and care given to you by a man. Otherwise, the more you know, the more you know." The more painful it is, the higher you stand, and the closer you are to death, just like you fell off the Tongque Tower today. This is my advice to you!"
After Lu Lingxuan finished speaking, she called a group of guards to surround her and left with Mutipo, leaving Xiao Jinyu in silence for a long time, thinking carefully about her words.
Gao Changgong was also very puzzled by what she said, but he didn't want to see Xiao Jinyu sad.
"Ayu, don't think too much. What a person like her says cannot be taken seriously..."
"Yeah, don't let this woman affect your mood. She has a dark heart and doesn't believe there is justice in the world. Can't she let others believe it?"
Li Mi also came over to persuade him.
Xiao Jinyu finally woke up from her deep thoughts. When Lu Lingxuan said the words "as your mother's friend" just now, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
She had to admit that it was indeed her own ability that allowed Lu Lingxuan, a woman to reach her current position and win the trust of Emperor Gao Zhan of Qi State!
Take this ability to confuse people, it is unparalleled!
"Yes, you are right, she is her, and I am me. Maybe this world is very difficult, but I am never afraid of difficulties!"
Hearing what she said, Li Mi laughed:
"This is the little lady I know!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Mi changed the topic again:
"Oh, by the way, I have completely investigated the matter that the lady asked me to investigate last time!"
…
After returning to Prince Lanling's Mansion, Li Mi took out a large box full of books and silk and placed them in front of Xiao Jinyu.
While Xiao Jinyu was watching, Li Mi explained: "I have to say that this Zu Jue is a bit of a weirdo. He can even forge official documents, resell grain for gambling money, and exploit loopholes in the court system to enrich his own pockets. Moreover, he also sells off his official titles. He was so greedy that he didn’t even let go of his friends’ inheritance.
He was once friends with Chen Yuankang, the counselor of Emperor Shenwu, and he usually liked to gather people with him at home to play gambling, and he also liked to use women as bets. This I I won’t elaborate on it with the princess!”
"After Chen Yuankang died, I originally entrusted him with the funeral affairs and asked him to help take care of his family. Instead, he gave his inheritance of twenty-five ingots, only two of which were given to Chen Yuankang's family, and the rest were kept in his own pocket. middle!"
"This man is a very good thief. He would always take something away when he attended friends' banquets. He once stole the official book "Hualin Panlue" and used it as money for gambling. Later, when he was discovered by Emperor Wenxuan, he was punished with a cane of forty and his official position was demoted. !”
"And he also has a rather shameful quirk. He often uses Shandong Dawen Ling and Lianzhu Peacock Luo as gambling capital to seduce married ladies in the capital. Once, even the wife of Yuan Jingxian who joined the army was lured to his home by him. …”
At this point, Li Mi's face turned red, and he was embarrassed to say any more!
Xiao Jinyu now also knows that most of the ladies of the Yuan clan are members of the previous dynasty clan, so this Zu Jue is so lustful that he can even get his hands on the ladies of the Yuan clan?
"By the way, Li Langjun, how did you get so much evidence from him?"
When Xiao Jinyu asked, Li Mi became even more embarrassed. He couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing a few times, and said: "This... I'd better not tell the princess, because I'm afraid your prince will beat me..."
When Lu Yu heard this, he became more energetic: "What bad things have you done? I'm afraid that my county king will beat you. Tell me! If you don't tell me, I'll beat you now!"
After saying that, he chased Li Mi and ran around Prince Lanling's Mansion for several miles before returning to the mansion out of breath.
"Prince, this Li Mi is really not a human being. What kind of civil servant do you think he is going to be? With his perseverance in running away and going to the battlefield, he is definitely the first to escape!"
Li Mi slowly walked back to Prince Lanling's Mansion without a red face and without even taking a breath. He said goodbye to Xiao Jinyu and Prince Lanling slowly and calmly.
"If the prince and princess still need Li's help, feel free to come to me. After all, Li is now an official. He is currently a regular servant of the Sanqi. Oh, by the way, he is specially responsible for your majesty's daily life. In the future, His majesty’s red man!”
Lu Yu snorted, and after Li Mi left, he couldn't help but taunted: "Prince, it would be a pity if Li Mi didn't become a traitor!"
Xiao Jinyu began to think deeply: with Li Mi and Cui Heng's rich family background and their own talents, if they wanted to, they could become officials very early. If they didn't become officials, they would be tired of the Northern Qi court, so why would they want to become officials now? Already?
"Officials responsible for revising daily life notes must be at His Majesty's side at all times. In addition to the ceremonial sacrifices to heaven and the emperor's edicts, memorials, and title books, they must also keep detailed records of His Majesty's private life. This is equivalent to A pair of eyes are placed beside His Majesty."
Prince Lanling explained, then looked at Xiao Jinyu and added, "Ayu, Li Mi suddenly wants to become an official, I'm afraid it's because of you..."
Knowing that she was going to join the official position as Xie Zhen, he was afraid that she would be isolated and helpless by His Majesty's side, so he took the lead in being the guide?
"I understand!" Xiao Jinyu was moved in her heart and raised her eyes to look at Gao Changgong, "Then we must protect him in the future. I'm afraid..."
Before she finished speaking, Gao Changgong interrupted with a smile: "I know, you are afraid that if he offends Lord Lu today, Lord Lu will turn his finger on him, right?"
After saying that, he smiled slightly, which was as refreshing as the warm breeze.
"Don't worry, he is kind to us, and of course I have to ensure his safety! Moreover, Li Mi is also a well-established person, he will not be plotted so easily!"
Xiao Jinyu nodded and snuggled into Gao Changgong's arms again.
Thinking of the thrilling scene on the Tongque Stage, Gao Changgong was still frightened, so he held her in silence for a long time.
After a heavy rain, the sky was blue and the area was bright. In the back garden of Prince Lanling's Mansion, flowers were in full bloom, and birds were chirping and playing among the rockery trees.
Watching the koi swimming in the pond, with catkins flying around the pond and decorated with flowers, it gives you a sense of tranquility that has passed through time.
Gao Changgong suddenly felt boundless attachment and happiness in his heart. After kissing her on the forehead for a moment, he suddenly asked: "Ayu, why do you want to ask His Majesty for the post of Taishi Ling?"
He knew that she always had reasons for her actions, but he was always a little worried and afraid of unknown reasons.
Xiao Jinyu then looked at Gao Changgong.
In these days, she has seen some things from the previous life from the memory of the original owner. According to the calculation of time, when the heavy snow comes in the winter month of this year, the Northern Zhou Dynasty will unite the Turks to attack Luoyang of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Gao Zhan will send Gao Changgong, Duan Shao and Hu Luguang rescued Luoyang, and Gao Changgong won a great victory in the battle of Mangshan. Since then, his reputation has greatly increased, and he has become another god of war after Duan Shao and Hu Luguang who frightened enemy generals.
It was also after this battle that Gao Zhan became jealous of him. The following year, in the third year of Heqing Dynasty, Lu Lingxuan used the celestial phenomena to warn of the appearance of comets, and cooperated with Zu Jue to persuade Gao Zhan to pass the throne to the nine-year-old prince Gao Wei. , Lu Lingxuan controlled the weak young master to control the government, and became the first female maid in history, that is, the female prime minister!
Later Gao Wei gave Gao Changgong poisonous wine, which may not have been due to Lu Lingxuan's greedy words in his ears.
If you want to change all this, you have to block Lu Lingxuan's way. Predicting the celestial phenomena with the post of Taishi Ling is a part of it. At least you must break the ignorant understanding of the changes in the celestial phenomena among the monarchs and ministers of Qi State!
And today is the first step!
"Chang Gong, I am here for our future. Everything will be fine!" She smiled.
…
At this time, in the Lu Mansion located in Yuanzi Sifang, Gao Ana took off his armor and knelt in front of Lu Lingxuan, with his head lowered and his face full of shame.
"It was because of my incompetence that I not only failed to take the life of Princess Lanling, but I also lost the position of leading general that the prince had worked so hard to obtain for his subordinates." Lu Lingxuan looked at him for a long time without saying anything. His talents were mediocre, and what he was best at was flattering and serving others. This was what she liked about him. Gao Zhan liked to hear nice words, so she put all these people who were good at this around him, and at the same time, they also served as her eyeliner.
But now that Gao Anakhu has been dismissed from his post, it is equivalent to breaking her arm.
"I can't blame you for this. Compared with your talent, you are indeed far inferior to being tall, long and respectful. Now that he has touched his beloved wife, he will not let it go!"
"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as removing you from your post!"
After Lu Lingxuan finished speaking, Gao Anahu's expression changed drastically. The implication was that King Lanling still wanted to kill him to avenge his beloved wife.
"Mother, I didn't expect Xiao Jinyu, a lowly servant, to make such a fuss. Does she want to completely crush her mother's prestige and belief in the hearts of the people? After this incident, does your majesty have any feelings for my mother..."
"Your Majesty did not read out the content of the note I wrote in public, because he still wanted to protect me. After all, the prince still needs me! And I am indeed consolidating the imperial power for your majesty. The emperor's power is to override all people. Above all, what’s the harm in fooling the people for the sake of the country’s stability?”
"Your Majesty can certainly understand the meaning of my words!"
Hearing what Lu Lingxuan said, Mutipo breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was so angry that her teeth itched:
"I thought I could use Zheng Yue's hand to kill that cheap maid, but I didn't expect that idiot Zheng Yue would actually fall in love with Gao Changgong to the point of being stupid and stupid. It's really embarrassing and infuriating!"
"Zheng Yue is indeed a bit stupid, but she is just a young sister-in-law who has just started to fall in love. What surprises me now is that Xiao Jinyu went to Nanchen and not only made Prince Lanling fall in love with her, but also even Li Mi from the Li family in Zhaojun and Cui Heng from the Cui family in Boling are willing to fight against me for her sake!"
"Mother, after all, she is a charming enchantress who serves people with sex. It is not surprising that she can seduce a few men!"
"It would be fine if she was really a stunning enchantress who used sex to serve people, but she is not. Then Li Mi and Cui Heng should be willing to help her. Li Mi, he alone cannot represent the entire Li family of Zhao County, but Cui Heng has now become the head of the third family of the Bolingcui family. If he wants to be my enemy, then the entire third family of the Bolingcui family will be my enemy!"
When Mutipo heard this, she became a little frightened, her eyes flashed sharply, and she said: "Mother, why don't you just send a killer..."
"Don't act rashly. Both the Li family and the Cui family are married to royal family members, and the two families themselves are intertwined and have coexisting interests. If we kill two people and trigger a counterattack from the two families, we have no chance of resisting. ability!"
Lu Lingxuan said, changing the subject again, "However, we can arrange a detailed investigation to check these two people and see what they have been doing recently and what they have done in the land of Nanchen?"
"Yes! Mother, I'll make arrangements right now!"
Just as Mutipo was about to leave, Lu Lingxuan suddenly called him back: "Wait a minute -"
"There is also the Xianbei boy next to Xiao Jinyu. Check his origins. When the people sent to hunt her down in the past, they said that there was a good man next to her. Today, he is still a handsome man. He is a common Xianbei person, and he has such quick and extraordinary skills at a young age. He must be no ordinary Buqu!"
"Judging from the appearance alone, they don't look alike! This is probably the most reliable amulet that Xiao Luan found for her daughter before she died!"
Speaking of the Xianbei boy, Mutipo's heart skipped a beat. She thought of the young man on the Tongque platform who climbed up to the eaves alone with lightning speed, and caught a thin shot of Xiao Jinyu so accurately. Suo, these two people cooperated so seamlessly, as if they had already had this tacit understanding.
"Yes, my son will arrange for the most experienced craftsman in Ye City to find out his origins!"
…
Lu Lingxuan's eyes and ears were all over the streets, restaurants and restaurants in Ye City. It didn't take long for Mutiva to find out about Li Mi. At the same time, she also got some news about Zu Jue. The listeners were really dumbfounded!
"This Li Langjun has recently made friends with Zu Zhongshu. Every day he performs with the Qin Tower and Chu Palace performers, spends a lot of money in the casino, and even found a group of women to come to Zu Zhongshu's house..." At this point , Mutipo glanced at her mother with a blush, and quickly added, "As for what he was doing, my son couldn't see it with his own eyes, and he can't describe it!"
"Li Mi and Zu Jue are friends?" Lu Lingxuan found it very ridiculous and asked, "Has Zu Jue done anything unusual recently?"
"The taste of this Zu Zhongshu is becoming more and more unique. A month ago, it was rumored that he was dating an old woman who was over sixty years old. In recent days, he has become obsessed with women wearing veils. I heard that there are Once, he brought a veiled 'woman' disguised as a woman back home for the night, only to find out the next day that it was a man, and he almost lost his life for this!"
"You almost lost your life for this?"
"Yes, I seem to have heard that this 'woman' who was disguised as a woman wanted to play some kind of unspeakable game with him. She tied his limbs to the bed and beat him so hard all night that he almost lost his life! "
Lu Lingxuan was dumbfounded and asked, "Then who is this person?"
"Ah? Do you mean this 'woman' who is disguised as a woman?"
"I don't care if he is a man or a woman, who is he? Can't he find out?"
"Mom, no one really knows that this matter was said by a housekeeper of Zu Jue's family. The housekeeper waited until the next morning to find out that it was a man who came out of Zu Zhong's study, but this man was always covered with a veil. , People can’t see her appearance clearly! If the butler hadn’t seen so many people, he probably wouldn’t have noticed that the ‘woman’ was a man in disguise!”
Lu Lingxuan didn't know what to say for a moment. After holding back her anger for a long time, she said bitterly: "Zu Jue, this money-grubbing and lustful bastard, will sooner or later lose his life to women!"
"I heard that Your Majesty wanted Xie Zhenlai, who was famous in the Southern Dynasty's elegant talk gatherings, to compete with Zu Jue. It can be seen that Your Majesty has the intention to suppress him. He did these dirty things to me at this time because he wanted to Do you want to embarrass me in front of His Majesty?"
Mutipo's face showed unspeakable contempt and shame.
"Mom, besides being a weirdo, Zu Xiaozheng, do you think his character is really not that good? Why not abandon this ally!"
Lu Lingxuan glanced at Mutipo, and an idea flashed in her mind. She seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Did you just say that Li Mi has been on good terms with Zu Jue recently?"
"yes!"
"Zu Jue also became obsessed with women wearing veils in the past few days, and brought a fake woman home for the night?"
"Too!"
"That's right, this man disguised as a woman must be Li Mi. Li Mi will not be friends with Zu Jue for no reason. He acts so treacherously that he is afraid he wants to get something from Zu Jue!"
Thinking like this, Lu Lingxuan's expression became more and more nervous.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him and don't let him cause trouble for me again!"
"yes!"
Note: The first few chapters are a bit heavy, but this chapter is just for a smile.
