Chapter 101 Why Swallow

Liuli is valuable to others, but it is worthless to Lu Yiqing.It can be said that she can burn as much as she wants, and the reason why she told Wei Jingrong to buy it at a low price was just because she didn't want people to know that she was in the colored glaze business.

After discussing it with the two of them, they made peace with General Wei, and the matter was easily settled.

After tossing and returning home, the sky had already darkened, but Shen Wangshu was still waiting for her to have dinner together.Lu Yiqing's heart ached when he saw it, and hurriedly took two steps forward to hold him back, and then said with some disapproval: "Ah Chen, why haven't you eaten yet? I don't know when I will come back. What are you going to do after waiting so long?!"

Shen Wangshu didn't care, and led her into the dining room: "Why did you wait in vain, I figured you should come back."

Lu Yiqing glanced at her when she heard the words, and saw that Shen Wangshu's expression did not mean to be joking, obviously he had already guessed in his heart.So he had no choice but to smile, but still said: "I know Ah Chen is amazing, but what if you are hungry?"

Shen Wangshu glanced at her angrily: "Do you really think I'm stupid, won't you eat something to fill your belly when you're hungry?"

This is true, Lu Yiqing immediately stopped talking, and smiled a little embarrassedly with his lips pursed.

While talking, a servant brought up the food that had been hot from the kitchen.But before Lu Yiqing greeted him for dinner, Shen Wangshu suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "Okay, I'm not just waiting for you for dinner. We came back in a hurry before, and the housekeeper was still there. You left before you had time to say anything, and this letter was handed over to me."

Hearing this, Lu Yiqing was no longer in a hurry to eat, and looked up curiously, and immediately recognized the familiar handwriting on the envelope—it was Patriarch Lu's handwriting.The father and daughter have been separated by thousands of miles in these years, but the correspondence has never been interrupted. However, in the past, it was just a simple report of safety and family affairs, but this time the timing is different, and the content of this letter is obviously not unusual.

Thinking in this way, Lu Yiqing didn't delay, even took the letter and read it.

Shen Wangshu didn't go up to read it, and waited until Lu Yiqing read the letter with a glance, then asked: "We've been away for quite a while, what happened to father?"

Lu Yiqing frowned slightly, but generally speaking, his expression was calm. Hearing this, he handed the letter to Shen Wangshu and said predictably: "It's nothing serious. It's just that after King Xiang heard about the Northwest War, Finally, we couldn't bear to attack Jinling. But we had already communicated with our father, and he avoided it early on, and was not found by King Xiang's men."

She spoke with a calm face, making Shen Wangshu think that nothing happened, but after reading the letter, she was still angry.

There is no other reason, but King Xiang is too unscrupulous.In the past, they wanted to keep the father and daughter of the Lu family silent, but they have been eating away at the Lu family's property over the years. This time it was even better, since they couldn't find the head of the Lu family, they simply staged a thief shouting "catch the thief" in Jinling.It is true that the owner of the Lu family avoided in advance, but a group of "thieves" who suddenly appeared in Jinling City ransacked the old house of the Lu family and even smashed the bad shops of the Lu family.

Shen Wangshu was so angry that he frowned and was puzzled: "What is King Xiang doing? He used to cherish feathers so much, but now he is short of money, so he is so short of money. I don't know if he is trying to fool someone."

On the contrary, Lu Yiqing was calm, or she didn't care about the money lost, and patted Shen Wangshu on the back: "It's okay, it's okay for father to avoid it. It's not that King Xiang is short of money, he just wants to vent his anger."

King Xiang has been used to going smoothly all his life, even though he missed the throne when he was young, but now he is still mixed up in the court to stand against the emperor.So he was proud, and couldn't bear the Lu family's getting out of control again and again.

Shen Wangshu Fan was comforted by Lu Yiqing, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.But seeing that Lu Yiqing really didn't care, thinking about the fact that the Lu family is not short of that little money now, he immediately let go of this matter: "Forget it, we will get it back sooner or later, let's eat first."

Lu Yiqing nodded, picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food for Shen Wangshu, and the two of them soon became sticky again despite their worries.

The meal was quite enjoyable, but the letter before the meal was not in vain after all—to put it simply, Lu Yiqing is not what he used to be today, how can he still swallow his anger like he did back then?

That night, an urgent letter was quickly sent to Chang'an through the Lu family's relationship.

****************************************************************************

The imperial envoy praised by the decree did not stay long, and soon left Xiliang and returned to Chang'an.When he left, he not only took a set of exquisite glazed tea sets, but also took away the secret letter written by General Wei to the emperor.

The content of the secret letter is clear, that is, the Wei family army has benefited from the state of Qin this time, and is willing to present treasures to the emperor.

The above is the result of joint discussions between General Wei and his generals, and it is really a simple and straightforward bribe.But then the father and son discussed it in private, and added some content besides this sentence.It is a big taboo for the guards to guard Xiliang, and it is a big taboo to enter the pass without permission. If someone finds out, it will be hard to argue, so the emperor asked the emperor to send someone to escort the treasure in private.

This is not an excessive request.Even for the emperor, the Wei family army is an outsider after all, and even if they take the initiative to offer treasures, it is not as reassuring as his own hands to get the things earlier.

Coincidentally, when this secret letter was delivered to Emperor Yankang, he had just learned the news of the retreat of the Wei family army.At that time, the Qin State had already paid the price for the retreat, and even the Wei family army had returned to Xiliang for a long time, so the letter of credence signed by the Qin envoy to Chang'an before that would naturally not be recognized.I heard that Qin Jun didn't even read the letter of credence when he got it, so he just threw it away. The hope of the Chang'an court was completely bye.

Emperor Yankang was severely suppressed by the first assistant in his early years. In addition to being cowardly, he also developed a temperament of seeking profit.He used to think that Wei Jiajun was making face for him, so he ignored the decree to praise him, but now he looked at Wei Jiajun as a traitor who robbed him of his things.

A change in mentality made him immediately issue an order to question the crime, but the time when the imperial envoy returned from the order was just right.

So Emperor Yankang, who was furiously cursing the Wei family army in the imperial study room just a moment ago, after reading the secret letter sent by General Wei, the anger in his heart disappeared immediately.Holding the secret letter, he smiled openly and called "Ai Qing" intimately, as if he wasn't the one who scolded "old man" and "rebellious minister and thief" before.

When he was happy enough, Emperor Yankang did not refuse the little request in his heart, and immediately sent his men to Xiliang to pick up the treasure.Then, because the secret letter was short and unknown, he speculated every day about the treasures waiting to be presented by the Wei Family Army.

It's just that the emperor probably didn't know that his people had just left Chang'an, and Prince Xiang's mansion had already received the news.

King Xiang looked at his subordinates who were reporting below, and frowned: "Your Majesty sent someone out of Beijing, where did you go?"

Emperor Yankang is not good in every way, but he is the emperor who occupies righteousness after all.After the death of the former Chief Assistant who had suppressed him for 20 years, even though he was half a step too late to allow King Xiang to have the ability to stand up to him, there are still some people who are loyal.Normally, when King Xiang's people wanted to investigate the emperor's affairs, everything was not as good as they wanted, most of the time it took a lot of effort, but this time they did the investigation very quickly.

The subordinate felt a little uneasy, but when he heard King Xiang's question, he still bit the bullet and replied: "Return to Your Highness, we have found out. The ones who were sent out to Beijing were the emperor's A-rank troops. After leaving Chang'an, they went straight to the northwest. It should be going to Xiliang."

King Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, and blurted out first: "I remember, the name A is His Majesty's private soldier?"

The question is like this, but King Xiang obviously knows the answer.Saying this is not so much an inquiry as it is a kind of surprise, so no one is needed to answer.

Sure enough, without waiting for his subordinates to respond, King Xiang himself realized his gaffe.Liangliang glanced over, the subordinate didn't dare to say much, and King Xiang figured out the joint in a blink of an eye-the credential was destroyed, the previous situation was instantly reversed, and the situation of the Wei family army was also in jeopardy.As long as General Wei is not stupid, he knows that at this time he cannot offend the emperor who ordered to praise the Wei family army before.

Emperor Yankang liked money the most. Maybe not many people knew about it before, but after a few years, everyone who should know knew about it.In addition, Wei Jiajun just went to Qin to make a fortune, so we can imagine their choice.

King Xiang sneered at this: "It really is short-sighted."

However, the counselor on the side was silent for a while when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, have you ever thought that since the emperor sent private soldiers to support him, the guards must have donated a small sum of money. Your Highness raised soldiers and wooed courtiers. , They all cost money, if we can... Then we can not only get a windfall, but also cut off the power of the emperor's subordinates, what's more, we can plant the Wei family army to drive a wedge between us."

It's no good to force the Wei family army back, but after all, although King Xiang had a grudge against the Wei family army's private dispatch of troops before, he never thought that they would really turn against him.After all, they were treated so harshly before, didn't they still guard the northwest gate honestly?

King Xiang, who was naturally proud, still maintained the pride in his bones at this time.

Thinking of the strategy of killing three birds with one stone given by the counselor, King Xiang's frown eased, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.His eyes were deep, he nodded and said with a smile: "Sir, sir, I'm sending people to the northwest right now, so I can also train soldiers."

With the idea set, another group of men and horses started to move, and a new round of fighting was about to begin on the road from Chang'an to the northwest.

Lu Yiqing, who was far away in Xiliang, received the reply many days late. After reading it, he just smiled and burned the letter.After returning to the room and thinking about it, he wrote another letter urging him to have more and more exquisite glazed objects fired and sent to Xiliang.

After all, this is bait, not only to satisfy the emperor, but also to tempt King Xiang.

Shen Wangshu saw Lu Yiqing's every move, knowing the price of the colored glaze, she couldn't help laughing: "I don't know how His Majesty and King Xiang will feel when they know the price of the colored glaze in the future?"

Lu Yiqing took him into his arms and rubbed against him, blinked again, and smiled a little badly: "It's just that the colored glaze is worthless, if they snatch it back, it's still a pile of colored glaze shards..."
