   Chapter 707 Fanwai's Weng-in-law (3)

What?

  Dad wants to send veterans home?

  Lu Mingyu was also shocked when he heard the news, and stood up abruptly: "Qiyun, who sent this news?"

  Qiyun replied in a low voice, "This is a message sent by Eunuch Xiaoyuan from the inner servant. After the dynasty was over, the emperor announced that he summoned King Xingyang to the Funing Hall to speak. The emperor was afraid that the empress would know the news and misunderstood, so he specially sent a letter to him."

   This happened really suddenly.

  Lu Mingyu couldn't tell how he felt. It was as if there was an invisible mass stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.

  Qiyun was worried when she saw that the master's face was wrong, and whispered to comfort: "Niangniang first relax. With the temperament of the prince, there is no reason to make such a memorial for no reason. He must have thought about it long ago."

Yes!

  Lu Mingyu slowly let out a sullen breath and sat back slowly: "Father never told me he had this plan."

Qiyun was by Lu Mingyu's side, and she saw a lot of important events, and her vision was also extraordinary: "The Zhao family's army has changed from 60,000 to 40,000, and the Yulin army is insufficient, and now there are only 30,000 generals. Some of the defeated soldiers of the Meng family's army were defeated. If they are sent back to their origins, some of them will be added to the garrison. If the Xingyang army still has 100,000 soldiers, it is really not suitable."

   This is not a question of Lu Linzhong's infidelity.

  The daughter is the queen, and the grandson is the prince. No matter how strong the Lu family is, it will form a situation where the monarch is weak and the minister is strong. Very unfavorable to the imperial power.

  Li Jing was the son-in-law of the Lu family and the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty. As a son of the emperor, he must learn the way of checks and balances.

  Lu Lin took the initiative to make a memorial and cut down his troops, which also avoided all kinds of worries and barriers in the future.

   The reason for this is not complicated. Lu Mingyu can naturally figure it out. The suffocation in my heart dissipated, replaced by a sour feeling.

  Dad did this all for her.

   "Qiyun," Lu Mingyu choked a little: "I'm really not a filial daughter. Over the years, my father has been heartbroken for me. I can honor my father, but very few."

  Qiyun said: "It is a blessing to be able to work hard for your children. From the point of view of slaves, the prince is very happy and happy."

  Lu Mingyu's mood was surging, and it was difficult for him to calm down for a long time.

  …

   Empress Dowager Qiao in Yongmei Palace got the news an hour later.

   Princess Hui'an was gossiping with Empress Dowager Qiao when a palace servant walked in and whispered a few words in Empress Dowager Qiao's ear. Empress Qiao gasped in shock.

  Princess Hui'an couldn't hear the truth. Seeing that the Queen Mother Qiao was so shocked, she hurriedly asked, "Mother, what happened?"

  The Queen Mother Qiao was silent for a moment, and whispered to Princess Hui'an about the memorial to King Xingyang.

   Princess Hui'an was also startled, and she blurted out, "King Xingyang probably wanted to retreat instead of advancing!"

  Empress Dowager Qiao came back to her senses and stared at Princess Hui'an, who was open-mouthed: "Chewing tongues! King Xingyang is sincere and loyal to the court, and he took the initiative to ask for the veterans to be released. The emperor has already approved the request of King Xingyang."

   Such a major event, how can it be fake.

  Princess Hui'an knew that she had lost her words, and said embarrassingly: "I just said that casually, and there is no other meaning."

   Queen Mother Qiao raised her face: "Thanks for being in front of Aijia, if you say this in front of the Queen, I'm sure you will get a bruised face."

   Princess Hui'an closed her mouth and remained silent.

  The Queen Mother Qiao thought about it and sighed sincerely: "A Jing really married a good wife and a good father-in-law!"

   King Xingyang took the initiative to file a memorial, which showed the dignity of the emperor and the court, and also showed loyalty. Such a good father-in-law is unparalleled in the world, and I can't find another one.

   Princess Hui'an also looked envious: "The queen is really lucky to have such a father."

   On the other hand, although she is a princess, her biological father... Forget it, not to mention it.

  The Queen Mother Qiao quickly stood up: "Ai's family is going to the Jiaofang Palace." Princess Hui'an hurriedly got up and said, "I will also go with the Queen Mother."

   Empress Dowager Qiao glanced at her daughter with disgust: "If you open your mouth, you may say something disgusting. Just go to the Aijia alone."

   Princess Hui'an: "…"

  The Queen Mother Qiao went to Jiaofang Palace alone.

   At this time, Lu Mingyu's mood has calmed down a lot.

   Seeing Empress Dowager Qiao coming here on purpose, Lu Mingyu felt warm in her heart: "Mother has something to do, send someone a message, and my daughter-in-law will go to Yongmei Palace. Why did you come here on purpose?"

   Empress Dowager Qiao took Lu Mingyu's hand and said softly, "Aijia also heard about King Xingyang's memorial. When he was in a hurry, he came over."

   "King Xingyang's loyalty to the imperial court is obvious to all. The emperor is not a mean and unkind person. He will definitely treat King Xingyang kindly in the future, and he will never betray you and the prince."

   King Xingyang is all about his daughter, why isn’t Queen Qiao thinking about her son? Fearing that her daughter-in-law would be unhappy, she rushed to comfort her.

  Lu Mingyu's heart was hot, and he whispered: "I was shocked when I heard about this before. My father didn't even mention a word in front of me. I didn't expect that he suddenly made such a memorial."

   "I believe in my dad, he has his own reasons for doing this."

   "I also believe in the emperor. He is a generous and wise emperor who will not betray the loyalty of his ministers."

   Empress Dowager Qiao showed relief: "If you can think clearly, Aijia will be relieved."

  …

   The Son of Heaven proclaimed and summoned the King of Xingyang to the Funing Hall, and the monarch and his ministers had secret talks in the imperial study for two hours. What was said, no one knows.

   That night, the emperor left King Xingyang to have dinner in the Funing Hall.

  As a courtier, with such honor and dignity, King Xingyang is also unique.

   After Puyang Hou found out, he was both envious and jealous.

   He also gave up 20,000 Zhao Family Army! At that time, the emperor praised him and promoted his son Zhao Rui to be the captain of the imperial forest. But there is no such preferential treatment for the Holy Family.

  After King Xingyang left, the emperor returned to Jiaofang Palace.

  Lu Mingyu sat on the edge of the couch and looked at her husband with red eyes: "Did you cry today?"

   Li Jing hummed, sat next to Lu Mingyu, rested his head on her neck, and stretched out his arms to wrap her slender waist. He took a deep breath of the faint body fragrance on her body and whispered, "Xiaoyu, my father-in-law is really kind to me."

   "Today I had a long conversation with my father-in-law. When it comes to the emotional part, I couldn't help crying. I had a drink with my father-in-law tonight, and I cried again."

   "When my father was alive, I was often neglected by my father. For the stability of the East Palace, I had to swallow my anger and run errands from Beijing."

   "Sometimes, I think, is it because I'm not good enough, so the royal father doesn't like me, and prefers the eldest brother and the third brother."

   "My father-in-law treated me much better than my father. He thought about everything for me and didn't make me embarrassed. The memorial today is even more touching."

   "Having such a father-in-law is the blessing that Li Jing has cultivated in his lifetime."
