In the small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, Lu Xingchuan was not as casual as before, but stood under the pear tree with a solemn expression.

Gu Changling calmly fell behind him, "Why does your Highness need to send out the red seal?"

Lu Xingchuan turned around and saw a red mark on his husband's face, and said in surprise: "Yunwei did it again?"

Gu Changling looked away: "It's none of her business. I did it accidentally."

In the past, my husband was often injured, but recently, Lu Xingchuan has not seen him again.

He thought that Mr. Yunwei Qingxin had finally changed, but he didn't expect that it was his true nature that was hard to change.

The gentleman probably didn't want to say it for the sake of face. Naturally, Lu Xingchuan didn't ask too much. He took out a letter from his arms and said, "The palace informant sent it in the evening. It was said that the father intended to make the gentleman the governor of Lin'an and take charge of it." Urge to change rice to mulberry."

"what?"

Gu Changling was so surprised that he opened the envelope and read all the lines.

The letter said that it was because the emperor heard his remarks on the agricultural reform of the previous dynasty that he decided to reuse him and designated him as the candidate to change rice to mulberry.

You must know that Gu Changling secretly supports King Qi. King Qi is fighting with the prince. Changing rice to mulberry is the prince's project. Now that he is placed in this position, it is extremely difficult to handle.

If Gu Changling properly implements the change from rice to mulberry, the credit belongs to the prince. He helps the prince stabilize his status, and he will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of King Qi in the future.

If it is not implemented properly, it means contempt for the imperial power and ineffectiveness. You can be beheaded for any crime.

Of course, if this candidate is not Mr., but another unimportant minister, Lu Xingchuan will think this is a good opportunity. Wouldn't this be an initiative to invite him to change rice into mulberry?

When the time comes, the worst he can do is give more compensation to the people who sacrificed for him, or let people fake their own deaths, then hide incognito and live happily with the compensation.

Unfortunately, that person happened to be Mr.

My husband is ambitious, and if he screws up the national policy discussed by the ministers just to assist him, he will bear historical infamy.

It cannot be dismissed with a little compensation.

Furthermore, if he really forced his husband to do this, it would create a gap between the two of them, and it would appear that he would do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

How can Sir help him as before?

So, this is really a tricky thing.

Lu Xingchuan was very troubled, "Why did Mr. Sir suddenly make remarks about the agriculture of the previous government?"

Gu Changling's eyes were slightly stern.

He mentioned that remark because Song Zhang and Bo'an were sorting out the previous dynasty's books on agriculture and happened to discuss the failure of the previous dynasty's agricultural tax land reform, so he casually expressed his opinion.

How could it be such a coincidence that the emperor heard it in private?

Lu Xingchuan said: "I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. My father sent people to incite this topic on purpose, and then deliberately passed on the results to my father."

"I just heard today from Taifu that my father was conducting an assessment of the Hanlin Academy this time. I suddenly thought of using this unintentional method to check who has the real material, so I sent a number of young eunuchs to monitor it. In the afternoon I originally wanted to remind sir to pay attention, but it seems that there is no need for it.”

Gu Changling was surprised that the emperor used this assessment method so carelessly.

He put away the letter and asked: "Why did the emperor suddenly decide?"

Lu Xingchuan shook his head: "I don't know at the moment. I've sent people to investigate and haven't announced the results yet."

"Is it related to the prince?"

"I have tried it before. It seems that Lu Xingzhi doesn't know the identity of Mr. Lu. Moreover, Lu Xingzhi is so concerned about changing rice to mulberry and blocking everything. He wants to carry out this policy. Even if he really knows Mr.'s identity, he will never do it. I might take the risk of placing Mr. in this position."

You must know that your husband is his after all. Lu Xingzhi values ​​this project so much, how could he put him there just to punish him and bury a factor of uncertainty for himself?

If there was an accident, Lu Xingzhi couldn't bear the consequences.

Lu Xingzhi would probably want to arrange for someone to surrender to him wholeheartedly.

Gu Changling pondered deeply, what His Highness said was true. If it wasn't the prince, then there was someone else...

He asked: "Your Highness still doesn't have any clues about the last assassination?"

"No, starting from the clothes of the secret guards, I have sent people to Lin'an to check several times, but nothing was found."

The two of them still have no clues or clues about the person behind it, but what is certain is that that person knows a lot, enough to control the situation of the two of them, making them completely passive.

Gu Changling suddenly asked: "I heard that His Highness has a good relationship with His Highness Prince Jing?"

Lu Xingchuan was surprised: "Do you doubt Brother Qi?"

"It's not really a suspicion, but he's the only one who's not investigating."

Lu Xingchuan had a good reputation among the people, so it was impossible that he had offended someone and wanted to kill him, so he deliberately plotted Kong Mingshan's plan.

Besides, looking at that battle, ordinary people couldn't do it, only the prince could do it.

They have thoroughly investigated all the princes, but there is only one person, His Highness, who has not been investigated.

Lu Xingchuan: "It can't be Brother Qi. He's not in good health. I've looked for many doctors to check on him. They all said that he doesn't have much time left. He might not... make it to the end of the year."

Lu Xingchuan found so many people to diagnose and treat Lu Xingyi. Of course, most of them were grateful, but it was undeniable that a small part of them were trying to see if he was really sick. There was not much time left.

One or two doctors can be bribed, but he has found dozens of them, from all over the world. They all say that he is born with a heart disease, and that he has been at the end of his strength until now.

"Besides, didn't the doctor you trusted next to you also check Brother Qi's pulse? The results were the same as what other doctors said," Lu Xingchuan sighed, "What else can he plan for a dying person? Brother Qi even The funeral arrangements have already begun.”

Gu Changling frowned slightly when he heard the determination from His Highness King Qi, but he didn't have much to say. He only said: "I'm not trying to stir up feelings between your brothers. It's just that the road to seizing the rightful son is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. I just hope that His Highness will be more cautious."

Lu Xingchuan understood: "I know that Sir is thinking about me and doesn't worry too much. Sir, don't worry."

There was no way that there was no trust between him and Gu Changling.

Lu Xingchuan sighed, "The most pressing priority right now is sir."

How should he pluck his husband from this rice field into a mulberry field without being affected?

No matter the benefits or the friendship of sharing the same sorrow, Lu Xingchuan didn't want to lose such a right-hand man as Gu Changling.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't you, sir, pretend to be sick in advance? Don't you have a very good doctor by your side and ask him to prescribe you some medicine? It seems to be very serious?"

Gu Changling said: "The person behind it has a deliberate plan, how can he let us use simple tricks to get past it? If he is discovered, he will be unable to defend himself."

"Then, sir, you are putting on a show to make Father think that you are just talking on paper and cannot be reused."

"It's inappropriate. When I was admitted to the top pick, I had already experienced a frame-up. Many people questioned me. If I acted stupidly on purpose, it would actually give people an excuse to question my status as the top pick again."

When the time comes, if the people behind the scenes take advantage of him, his career and reputation will be ruined, which will be as serious as not going to Lin'an.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. Lu Xingchuan asked, "Do you have any countermeasures, sir?"
