Chapter 556 The First Meeting of the Brothers
At this time in the Jin country’s Grand Princess House, Lu Hehao and Su Wang are in the same hall eating tea, each other only separated by a small table in addition to the two of them, outside the hall, only a few underlings whisking.
As for the people who could make decisions in the Grand Princess of Jin’s residence, all of them were nowhere to be seen.
“What if something happens?” Initially, when Princess Qingjiang asked for this arrangement, Lady Shouchun did not quite agree, “These two are now vying for the throne, and they are in a titfortat battle, so if we don’t keep an eye on them, how can they not get into trouble?”
“It’s good to make a scene!” Princess Qingjiang sneered, “Isn’t that a good reason to ask them to go elsewhere if they want to make a scene, don’t disturb Mother’s quiet recuperation!”
Qingjiang county princess now Wei Su both have no good feelings, even if Su Wang is her brotherinlaw is the same after all, the Grand Princess of Jin this bedridden, the cause is Jane Yiyu died in Liaozhou, the delay can not get better, but because of this year’s major events in the imperial court one after another, every piece of the couple involved in Su Wang, Marquis Yan and Pei Yourui, resulting in the state of Jin! Grand Princess not only do not want to recuperate, and even have to worry about the younger generation of the knee, which is not as good as a day.
So now Lu He Hao and Su Wang although is specially door to visit the Grand Princess of Jin, Qingjiang County, but do not appreciate, and even a little anxious to early to drive them out of the intention.
Shouchun uncle lady can’t argue with her, plus Jian Xubai reminded from the side, “Lu He Hao and His Highness King Su this will come over, in addition to care about the second aunt, in fact, is also to do to the court down and the world to see, how can in the second aunt’s residence in the head of the mess up it? And according to big sister, let them sit in the flower hall on the meeting, look at the time almost go to say hello, they should be leaving.”
He also whispered, “If we go over there, I don’t have anything to say, but you and Big Sister will have trouble talking to each other, so it’s better not to go!”
When he said that, Mrs. Shouchun realized that Marquis Yan had already taken a stand, and if she went to the flower hall, she would only help King Su. But the Qingjiang Sheriff and the Shouchun family have not taken a stand and do not want to take a stand so if they go out to entertain those two, it is good that they don’t pinch each other, but really pinch each other, who are they going to help?
It’s not an easy job to keep making a fool of yourself, is it?
“This day is a mess!” Mrs. Shouchunbo sighed, “I don’t know when it will end right, A Xu, you haven’t returned to the mansion so far, sisterinlaw is alone in the mansion and has to look after the child, is she too busy to handle it? Why don’t you simply take her over, there are plenty of empty rooms on mother’s side anyway.”
Mrs. Shouchun uncle throws in the towel and cares about Song Yi smile, flower hall this side, Lu Hehao and Su Wang after a short stalemate, in the end, also began to exchange words, “Unexpected cousin you this back so fast.”
Lu Hehao picked up the tea and blew, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, “I thought, before his majesty called you back to the imperial capital, explicitly told you that the royal grandmother and the Jin imperial aunt phoenix body are not well, but you are stopping and delayed to see the trace of this time I heard that the condition of the imperial aunt aggravated, may not be able to take the time to arrive it?”
He intentionally bit the word “cousin”, the meaning of the words, naturally means that King Su is not truly love and care for elders, but is just pretending.
“The reason why I was delayed on the road was due to the assassination of my brother, King Xiang, and the court was worried that something bad might happen to me as well, so I was allowed to be cautious.” King Su then faintly said, “This is also something that can’t be helped, after all, the Imperial Aunt of the Kingdom of Generation and my aunt are already far away in Qiongzhou, and are still unable to escape the poisonous hand how can I not be careful?”
Lu Hehao naturally wouldn’t be embarrassed by this sarcastic remark that he had plotted to murder the Grand Princess and her wife of the Dai Guo, still smiling, he said, “There is a saying that you don’t do anything wrong without fear of ghosts knocking on the door, cousin is so preoccupied with himself that in the end, his heart is still too big. Otherwise, how would one need to worry about such a heart?”
“To say the heartbreak, who can compare to third brother you?” King Su sniffed out a cold laugh, “The wife of the married couple, their own young son, can be pulled in front of their own to block the arrow, I also do not know third brother these days, the night half can dream of the late third sisterinlaw and jeweled nephews?”
“The person on the pillow, the first loved son, of course it is an occasional dream.” Lu Hehao said calmly, “But to talk about this matter, the one who is at a loss, shouldn’t it be the Su family?”
He turned his head and looked at King Su with a smile on his face, “Before cousin despised me for this matter, did he ever break ties with the Su family? If not, what qualifications do you have to tell me what to do? Could it be that you can only see that I had to do what I had to do, but you can’t see the Su family’s indiscriminate killing of innocents? It’s because of this favoritism that you dream of my innocent wife crying out in the middle of the night, isn’t it?”
Su Wang expressionless said, “Wei family in this matter is also a part of the third brother is now with the Wei family two love very much, third brother as the third sisterinlaw’s married husband, Cui children nephew’s biological father, and still so openminded, I have no need to overstep the bounds of his role, for the third sisterinlaw and Cui children nephews, and the Su family a cut in two?”
The two of them fight to here, see the time is almost up, the people of the Grand Princess of Jin’s mansion but has not come over to greet them this expulsion of the intention is so obvious, they also do not want to stay to cause annoyance, King Suk turned his head to the subordinate who was serving, “How is the Imperial Aunt now? ”
The subordinate said, “I’ll go and ask, please wait less for Your Majesty and Mr. Lu!”
Soon after this person went to ask for instructions, Qingjiang County Lord came out to see off the guests County Lord because of the condition of the Grand Princess of Jin, is now in a bad mood, naturally, the attitude will not be too beautiful, after coming in to say without a smile, “He Hao, He Bone, you want to go? I’m really sorry to say that my mother hasn’t woken up yet, and there’s no backbone in the house, so I’m really slowing you down today! Since you are all family members, I won’t be polite to you, so I will send you out!”
Lu He Hao and King Su heard, the corners of the mouth are twitching King Su just asked clearly is the great eldest princess of the state of Jin how the current situation, that the subordinates will not have the guts to false transmission of the words of the king, but the Qingjiang county princess opened their mouths to say that they want to go, which clearly is eager for them to early roll!
However, they were not in a good position to argue with County Princess Qingjiang, and after caring a few words about the condition of the Grand Princess of Jin, they were half sent, half driven out of the residence by County Princess Qingjiang.
Only when they stepped out of the threshold, County Head of Qingjiang threw down a sentence, “I still have to go back to guard my mother, you guys go slowly!” She immediately ordered her subordinates to close the door with a bang!
“First cousin this temper!” King Su laughed bitterly, glanced at Lu Hehao, and was about to pull up his robe and walk towards his own mount when Lu Hehao suddenly turned his head and laughed in a voice that only he could hear, “Cousin seems to look down on me? I don’t know if the one who loses in the next day is cousin, will he still hold this high and mighty attitude today?”
King Su narrowed his eyes at these words, stopped and turned his head, and faintly said, “I’m just too lazy to nag with a puppet!”
“Could it be that cousin himself is not a puppet?” Lu Hehao heard this and laughed out sincerely as if he had heard some joke, “Does cousin still think that if you are the one who ascends to the throne in the future, you will be able to be the master of your own house? Don’t joke Su family has worked so hard for so many years, Jiguo Gong has lost his life, the first eldest grandson Su Bo Feng has become a cripple with a missing foot, Miss Su Qi, who can be called a model of the imperial capital’s noblewomen, married the foppish Cousin Ji, and the Su family of Qingzhou has paid such a huge price just to unconditionally let you reign over the world and be famous for ages! Do they owe you for eight lifetimes? Or do you think that if you call out uncle and cousin, they will be so moved that they will bow and die for you, regardless of any reward?”
Lu Hehao smiled and said, “I thought that the cultivation of the Su Clan in Qingzhou had some outstanding features, but now it seems that the degree of naivety of you, cousin, is even more than that of His Majesty!”
He seemed to have thought of something and changed his words, ”Oh, no! This just proves that Su’s teaching of you was really very successful I think that in the future, even if the Su family wins, and you give them a lifetime of being a puppet, you will still be happy and grateful, thinking that everything is within your grasp! Letting the first nephew be a front and still doing it with special joy, worthy of being a prestigious family that has been passed down for several dynasties! There is indeed something unique and convincing!”
Speaking of this, Lu Hehao gave a thumbs up to King Su and walked away with a smile on his face.
“Your Highness?” The people on King Su’s left and right who heard these words all changed their faces, all looking worriedly at King Su.
“He’s just doing the same old thing!” King Su remained calm and said lightly, “It’s a pity that I’m not His Majesty, who suspects his closest relatives just by listening to his words there’s nothing to show off with this kind of tonguetwisting, and I’d like to see if he’ll still be able to be so sharptongued when he argues in the courtroom tomorrow!”
The attendants secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the words, but they did not notice King Su’s gaze flickering slightly in thought.
By this time everyone knew that the following day’s court meeting was bound to be very intense.
However, in the evening, a holy decree came out from the palace, which almost caused the ministers to crowd into the palace on the spot and start the war in advance the Duanhua Emperor, who had been silent for some days, issued a holy decree, using Lu Hehao’s visit to the Grand Princess of Jin’s residence to visit his aunt today as an excuse to say that Lu Hehao was filial and considerate, and that he was able to change after knowing that he was wrong and restored his title of King of Liang!
This holy decree at a glance know from the Wei family intention, after all, Wei family now want to promote Lu Hehao and Su Wang competition and Su Wang is a prince, Lu Hehao is just a commoner, today two people in the Jin country in the House of the Grand Princess, Lu Hehao a mouth of a “cousin” does not seem to fall behind. The wind fell, in fact, Su Wang open mouth “orphan” closed mouth “the king”, on the tone on the momentum do not know threw him a few streets.
How could the Wei family be willing to let Lu Hehao keep eating this loss?
So this will catch an opportunity, also do not care whether it is farfetched or not, first of all, Lu Hehao’s title is restored!
Of course they knew that the Su family would never agree to Lu Hehao being restored to his princely status so easily so that evening, in addition to having Emperor Duanhua decree that Lu Hehao be restored to his princely status, they also had the Zongzheng Shaoqing, who had taken charge of the Zongzheng Temple after King Liang’s release from prison, step in and lead a team of men to the Su Wang’s mansion to arrest King Su.
The reason, naturally, is the assassination of King Xiang, which has been almost forgotten.
… In fact, as early as when King Su first appeared in the courtroom, the Wei family could have seized this matter to make trouble.
The reason why at that time absolutely no mention, dragged until now to mention up, is to give Lu Hehao to restore the title to play cover you Su family is now staring at Lu Hehao should not restore the matter of the king’s title to pursue it, or for the king of the Su cleared the murder of the king of the charge of Xiang Wang?
Although the Su family had the upper hand now, the advantage was not so great that they could achieve both purposes at the same time.
And when these two things could only choose one, one would know that the Su family must have chosen the latter so that the resistance to blocking Lu Hehao’s restoration of the King’s title would naturally be a lot smaller.
“So this candidate just won’t do!” Wei Pi privately lamented with his inner circle, “If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Hehao has too many problems, and as the son of the late emperor, even restoring a title requires so much effort, how much use could the Xiangwang case have been put to? Now it can only be so wasted!”
“The Xiang Wang case was personally handled by Minister Gu in the end.” The heartlander consoled, “Which is something the Su family can easily solve? It’s impossible to say that it might not be wasted either?”
Wei Pi smiled bitterly, “One can only hope so”
He rubbed his face, “There’s nothing else, so go back and settle down! If you don’t recuperate, you won’t be able to make it to tomorrow’s court!”
