Yangcheng

When Lan Wan came down from the Buddhist hall on the back mountain of Wanshe Villa, Lu Jian was already waiting for her in the front hall.

Before entering the front hall, she heard Lu Jian coughing, and Lan Wan hurriedly walked to the front hall in three quick steps.

Lu Jian was wearing the same shawl as Lan Wan's, and her white hands were clenched into fists and pressed to her lips, trying to ease her coughing.

Seeing Lan Wan coming in, she couldn't help coughing violently again.

"Why do you still have to run outside after coughing like this? Aren't you afraid of getting sicker? Madam is too willful."

Lan Wan personally poured water for her, tasted the hot and cold water, and it was just right, before handing it to Lu Jian.

Lu Jian took the water without drinking it, and said to the people around: "You all go down."

"Here."

After all the servants left, Lu Jian asked her, "What are you doing here at night?"

The smile on Lan Wan's face was a little stiff.

She knew that Madam didn't like what she was doing, but she could see it all, except for a few details.

She also tried to mention as little as possible, so as not to make Madam angry.

After returning from Yunyao Mountain and falling ill, Lu Jian's body became weaker and weaker, and he would get sick whenever the climate changed.

Lan Wan has been looking for a doctor to recuperate her, but she didn't expect that she would go out in this cold night, the spring is cold, worry and anxiety, what should I do if the disease worsens?

Lan Wan said: "I'm here to deal with some things, and I'll go back when I'm done. Ma'am, drink the water first."

But Lu Jian said something that she didn't expect: "Luo Xuanfang is dead, and Wei Xi has no worries. If you don't destroy the iron smelting workshop of Duoyi country, you will never have future troubles, but you came here to fight with that Little orthodox contest. Ah Rou, do you know what kind of catastrophe it will bring if the iron smelting workshop continues to exist?"

Lan Wan remained silent.

Lu Jian closed his eyes, breathed calmly and said: "I know that the iron smelting workshop is an important rear area built by the three families of Lan, Wu and Shen after years of painstaking efforts and a huge amount of money. I understand what its significance is. Once the iron smelting workshop is destroyed , Duoyi Kingdom, which has been in operation for many years, will be completely handed over to the fourth prince.

"But now that the sixth prince is dead, the succession of the fourth prince is a foregone conclusion. No matter whether you close or not, you will not be able to stay in the iron workshop. If Luo Xuanfang is still alive, maybe Wei Xi can hold back for a while in order to keep Luo Xuanfang. Two, now Prime Minister Luo is using his life to clear the way for Wei Xi, so that she will have no worries.

"Could it be possible that you still want to wait for the fourth prince to confiscate all the iron workshops, present the evidence of treason to Wei Zhen, and uproot the three of you and the Lu family together?"

Lu Jian never said these things to Lan Wan on weekdays, but today she spoke clearly. One can imagine the importance of this matter and the urgency of it.

Lan Wan's chest rose and fell slightly: "Old thief Luo used his old life to open the way for Wei Xi. The iron smelting workshop can't be kept anymore. I know it well, and I have already sent someone to close the iron smelting workshop."

But Lu Jian said: "What's the point of shutting it down? It should be completely blown up. Only by killing all relevant people can we avoid future troubles forever."

Lan Wan's heart trembled.

This is the Lu Jian she had seen before.

Lu Jian doesn't often show her sharp side, but every time she does, Lan Wanchong is fascinated.

"Let Ah Xing handle this matter." Lu Jian chased after him.

Lan Wan quickly understood what she meant, and her eyes sharpened: "I have spent so many years of hard work in the iron smelting workshop, and now it has been destroyed, and I have to pay the price."

"Oh? How are you going to do it?"

Lan Wan said coldly: "It's not impossible to kill Wei Xi immediately and wash the Shuyuan with blood."

Lu Jian opened his eyes and looked at his wife.

Lan Wan said: "Not to mention the troops stationed outside Beijing, even half of the sixteen guards in the South Yam in the middle of the capital are my people. The Ten Commanders of the East Palace and even the guards in the Beiya Forbidden Army, I also There are many eyes and ears. If you want to start an incident, first attack the left and right Shenwu troops of the Imperial Army of the Beiya. Mausoleum is not necessarily impossible."

The uncle Lan Wan was talking about was Lan Kan who was seized the prime minister's position under the pretext of avoiding suspicion when Wei Xi was sealing the noble concubine Lan, and was expelled from Beijing.

Lan Wan speaks in an orderly manner, this is not a momentary impulse, but the overall situation that has been planned in her heart for many years.

She had already been planning every step of the way, only waiting for the moment when she saw her.

Lu Jian's demeanor remained unchanged, and he was not moved at all by what she said: "Half of the imperial army is yours, and half is the guards. You have a backup, it is difficult to defend the attackers.

"Today's Wei Xi is no longer the weak emperor who can't be resisted by Lan Kan. Her wings are getting richer. Even if Luo Xuanfang is dead, Wei's Ruan family and Changsun family's power in the central and local areas is still not to be underestimated. watch for.

"What's more, Shen Yue is alive, no one is dead or dead, and if she hasn't seen her body for a day, it shouldn't be concluded that she is no longer alive. Ah Rou, Shen Yue is a dangerous person. If she is alive, it must be hidden by Wei Xi. A dagger in the dark. Didn't you notice that Tang Jianwei's eldest sister is not by Tang Jianwei's side?"

Lu Jian usually only cares about political affairs, and often turns a blind eye to what Lan Wan does.

But Lan Wan understands that Madam is thinking about her in her heart, and Madam is watching and planning for her in everything she does.

Lan Wan said excitedly: "I also found out that Tong Shaoxuan brought all the Tongfu in Su County to Beijing, and even brought the family's livestock, except for Tang Guanqiu's shadow."

Lu Jian said: "As far as I know, Tang Jianwei and her eldest sister grew up together, and they have a deep relationship. When Tang Shizhan and Su Maozhen died, Tang Jianwei was accused of marrying her to Su County, and she still brought her demented elder sister to Su County. She was by her side and never gave up. Now that she returns to Boling, it is impossible to abandon her eldest sister, the most likely thing is that Tang Guanqiu has a very reliable person to take care of her. Guess who will take care of Tang Guanqiu?"

Lan Wan quickly understood what Lu Jian meant: "Could it be that this person is Shen Yue?"

"Shen Yue is not in Boling no matter whether he lives or dies. This is for sure. If she is still alive, Wei Xi should send her to a place where it is difficult to be found to work in secret. With Shen Yue's ability, Wei Xi will definitely let her Do the toughest things."

"Madame means..."

Lu Jian said calmly: "The imperial power of Wei Xi is now in his hands, but he is still slowly eroding, slowly breaking down the three families of Lan, Wu and Shen. It must be because he has not yet figured out the true strength of the enemy, so he dare not act rashly. I guess, Shen Yue and Tang Guanqiu At this time, I am in Fengzhou, investigating the details of your Lan family, and seeing how many soldiers you have hoarded in Fengzhou. When they return to the capital, it will be the time when the guards officially start their counterattack."

After Lu Jian said these words, her already dry throat was tingling. She drank some water to relieve it, and continued:

"It seems that there is only one emperor on the throne of the Great Cang, but in fact there is another one hiding in the dark, silently supporting the emperor and advising her. And this person was educated by the prince and grew up. It's nothing new to her."

"You mean, Wei Ci?"

"That's right, it's Wei Ci. Wei Ci is the former Lord of the East Palace taught by my benefactor. Even though Wei Ci seems to have recruited retainers wantonly these years, indulged in drinking and doing nothing, in fact, she secretly cultivated Cao Cao of Juntianfang. The Long faction, whether it is the imperial army or the center, has buried her confidants. So far, you and I don't know how many eyes and ears the Tian family has. And Tong Shaoxuan and others are the powerful upstart forces that the Tian family wants to cultivate Fortunately, Luo Xuanfang is dead, otherwise the combination of the old and the young would be even more difficult to resist.

"Wei Xi was able to grow so fast, thanks to Wei Ci's contribution. Now that Cao Long has fallen, Tang Jianwei is the one who will replace Cao Long. We have seen Tang Sanniang, who is young but has many means. She can leave Boling two years ago. After returning again after two years, he immediately took over the Maoming Building, and then closed down Juntianfang. This person must be more powerful than we thought. Don't underestimate this person just because he is young.

"There are so many fierce generals around Wei Xi today, some are on the bright side and some are hiding in the dark. If you want to rebel, you have to understand how many cards she has in her hand."

Listening to Lu Jian's words, Lan Wan couldn't help but leaned on her shoulder and asked her with red eyes:

"Ace is too worried about my affairs. Don't talk about it, drink more water, don't damage your throat."

Lu Jian took a sip of water and said in a low voice, "Without you, there would be no such person as Lu Jian in this world..."

She caressed Lan Wan's face lightly, looking at her lover with nostalgia: "It's nothing to worry about now."

When Lan Wan was about to smile at her, she heard Lu Jian say, "But from the day Zhuang Shi died, the Lan family has no turning back."

Lan Wan stared at his wife's face and gradually laughed.

"Don't worry." Lan Wan said, "How could I die? I still want to live with you forever and see all the fun in this world. Now that Wei Xi has grown up, it's time to fold her wings. From that Tang Jianwei Let's get started."

……

Lu Lie was dead, but the fact that Luo Xuanfang was wronged made Tong Shaoxuan feel very uncomfortable.

When Prime Minister Luo was carried out of Fengtian Palace in white clothes that day, Tong Shaoxuan looked straight at him. The blood all over her body made her feel touched even now.

She begged Ruan Yinghua to help her find Luo Xuanfang's collaborating letters, compared with the files kept in Dali Temple, and then went to find all the files from previous years, hoping to vindicate Luo Xuanfang.

At the same time, Lu Lie is also very important to the Tang family's major military case. Even if he died, the word "Lu Lie" remained. Tong Shaoxuan believed in his intuition, and he would be able to find out more. clue.

Since the morning, Tong Shaoxuan has not left the Dali Temple. After reading most of the files, he found that everything on the record of Lu Li was related to Prime Minister Luo.

Tong Shaoxuan couldn't help admiring secretly, this is the grass snake gray line with thousands of miles to go, Prime Minister Luo is already connected with Lu Zhi's fate, once Lu Zhi dies, Prime Minister Luo must be dragged down.

This trick is indeed vicious, but it is also really easy to use.

Tong Shaoxuan secretly wrote down this trick.

"You haven't left yet?"

Ruan Yinghua's deep voice came from the door of the Classic Hall.

Tong Shaoxuan narrowed his eyes and turned back, "Ruan Shaoqing."

"You're going to be blinded by the smoke, keep reading." Ruan Yinghua stepped forward and glanced at the messy and messy file, and immediately grabbed Tong Shaoxuan by the back collar, "Don't mess yourself up today. Put away your dossier, don't even think about leaving the Classic Hall. Did you know that I almost broke my waist last time to clean it up for you?"

Tong Shaoxuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm really sorry Ruan Shaoqing, I tend to forget things when I think about it. I'll bring you some snacks later to make amends."

Ruan Yinghua thought of the cakes she ate when she went to Tong's Mansion to visit her condition last time. She was indeed worthy of her reputation, but she was indifferent by nature and became the young minister of Dali Temple at a young age. gloomy face.

But in the end, he couldn't resist Tang Jianwei's good craftsmanship. Thinking of the taste of the pastry, his tongue was already salivating, but he still said politely:

"That's not necessary, you just need to clean up."

"Oh." Tong Shaoxuan responded casually, since the boss didn't like it, then forget it, and she quickly ended the topic.

"..." Ruan Yinghua fell silent.

Why didn't Tong Changsi play cards according to common sense?At this time, don't you want to be polite, after I refuse to welcome you, will you ask me what flavor I like? !

Counting the days, it's finally time for the little boy to come out, and the Tong family has already prepared all the things that the little boy needs until he is five years old.

Tang Jianwei was at home all day today, and Ji Xue was teaching her how to embroider patterns on children's clothes.

Tang Jianwei, Zitan and Qiu Xin surrounded Ji Xue, and Tang Jianwei embroidered crookedly after watching for a long time, and Zitan and Qiu Xin almost got their hands stuck.

Tang Jianwei discovered that there are things in this world that he is not good at, and that is female celebrities.

She is still unyielding, she wants to do well no matter in archery, riding or female celebrity, so she insists on pestering Ji Xue to learn it.

Ji Xue also taught her very patiently, and Zitan sat aside and looked at Ji Xue with cold eyes——

He clearly smiles at others, but why does he have a coffin face when facing me?

Ji Xue was teaching a class when someone ran in in a panic. Tang Jianwei saw that it was the gang brothers who were guarding outside the gate of Tong's Mansion.

"Young madam, someone has sent a message saying that it is difficult to attack jade, hurry to Guangxingfang to rescue it!"
