Chapter 355 Chapter 354(1/2)

Li San followed the little eunuch into Prince Yu's mansion, and saw Gao Gong within two gates.

Gao Gong also met Li San, after all, Wei Guangde's carriage was basically driven by Li San.

"Where is Guangde now?"

Seeing Li San delivering his salute, Gao Gong asked first.

"The master is paying condolences in Lu's mansion, and he asked me to bring a letter."

As he said that, he handed the letter in his hand to Gao Gong.

Gao Gong took the letter and took a look, and his expression changed slightly.

The content of the letter mentioned those concerns. In fact, Gao Gong thought of it last night, but the Lu family was just that in his eyes, and he did not take the safety of the Lu family into consideration.

As for Emperor Jiajing, Gao Gong didn't care.

If the emperor really cared so much about the two kings trying to win over the ministers in the court, King Jing and Yan Song would have been dealt with long ago.

As for what Wei Guangde mentioned in the letter, King Yu went to Lu's mansion to pay condolences with his private identity. In fact, what is the difference between setting up a ceremonial war in the palace? After all, King Yu was here in person.

However, Wei Guangde's proposal did not conflict with the goal he wanted to achieve, so Gao Gong planned to follow Wei Guangde's wishes.

At least, doing so will be beneficial to King Yu.

As far as Gao Gong knows, there are not many contacts between Lu Bing and King Yu, and they are not considered intimate.

At least in the judgment obtained by Gao Gong's observation, Lu Bing seemed to treat King Yu and King Jing equally, and there was no distinction between them.

It is also because of this that Gao Gong never tried to win over Lu Bing, and he knew that Lu Bing would never make a choice.

"You'll wait here."

The eunuch who signaled to bring people in took Li San to the side for refreshments, and he took Wei Guangde's letter to see King Yu.

He had just told King Yu about his arrangements today, but unexpectedly there were some changes.

King Yu was still very happy that Gao Gong suddenly returned to Prince Yu's mansion today, but Gao Gong came and told him that he would go to Lu Bing's mansion to pay his respects today.

King Yu naturally knew Lu Bing for a long time, and that was when he was in the palace.

Since moving out of the Forbidden City, he has rarely seen him.

In fact, when he heard that Lu Bing died because of the drug test, King Yu was still a little sad.

Perhaps people like him have a soft heart, but to others, they are a little weak.

King Yu agreed to Gao Gong's proposal just hesitated a little.

When he sent officials from the royal palace to pay his condolences, he was just a routine act. His identity determined that he could not go, or unless there was an order in the palace, it was not convenient for him to participate in anything in person.

Even King Jing, who is good at dancing, did not go to Lu Mansion to pay his respects in person, but only sent officials from the royal palace to pay his respects to the palace.

In fact, among the two kings, King Jing often went to and from the residences of officials in the capital, while King Yu seemed to be too homeless and stayed in his palace most of the time.

The reason why King Yu agreed to Gao Gong's request so happily was mainly because of his unconditional trust in Gao Gong.

King Yu waited in the house for a while, and saw Gao Gong walking back with a letter in his hand, and quickly got up to meet him.

Many times, King Yu really does not have the airs of a prince in front of Gao Gong. In fact, in King Yu's mind, he always treats Gao Gong as an elder.

"What news is coming from Guangde?"

King Yu thought that Wei Guangde had received some news in advance this time, so he sent monks to send the news, but Gao Gong shook his head and handed the letter in his hand to King Yu.

"Please take a look at your highness."

This is also Gao Gong's statement to King Yu that he and others had no intention of doing things behind his back, and that everything was putting King Yu's interests first.

King Yu took the letter handed over by Gao Gong and looked at it. Gao Gong saw King Yu tilting his head as if he was recalling it. After a long time, he said, "If I hadn't seen this letter, I would have forgotten that one."

"Your Highness, do you still know what is said in the letter?"

Gao Gong asked in surprise.

Wei Guangde expressed his thoughts in his letter, and also mentioned the news that he was about to release, that was, when King Yu was full moon, Lu Bing carried him to the imperial front.

After hearing Gao Gong's words, King Yu smiled and shook his head, "How is it possible? How old was I at that time?"

I remember hearing my mother talk about this, Master Gao, you know that I was not favored in the palace at the beginning, and my father's attention was all on my second brother's side, and even my fourth brother's situation was just slightly better than mine."

"Since this is indeed the best thing, Guangde's proposal is more perfect, and it also makes up for the safety of the Lu family that I have overlooked before."

Gao Gong also smiled on his face when he said: "Since General Lu took care of His Highness, His Highness should have gone this trip, not to mention that according to Guangde, some of the news he had conveyed before were sent by the Lu family."

"Li Fang, let's go down and let's go to Lu Mansion to pay condolences."

"yes."

After the eunuch Li Fang bent over and agreed, he immediately walked to the door, waved to the little eunuch beside the door, and then whispered a few words.

This is the case, Gao Gong also took the time to go out to meet Li San and asked him to go back to Lu's mansion to report to Wei Guangde first.

Shortly after Li San rode a horse and left the side door of Prince Yu's mansion, the two took a sedan chair and left the side door of Prince Yu's mansion. Outside the sedan chair, there were more than a dozen strong men guarding him, and the group was moving towards the direction where Li San left.

Although King Yu was light and simple, his actions could not be hidden from anyone who was interested.

After King Yu left the palace in a sedan chair, several forces in the capital who followed King Yu received news one after another, but many people did not know much about the destination of King Yu's trip.

However, as the team continued to move forward, it became closer and closer to the destination. When the team was approaching the intersection near Lufu, the destination of King Yu's trip was about to emerge.

Not only the Jinyiwei guards, but also the people from the King Jing’s mansion, as well as servants sent by officials with higher ambitions in the capital.

Yan Shifan was also one of the first people to know about King Yu's actions. The people he sent were not watching King Yu, but the Lu family.

At this time, Yan Shifan was still helping Yan Song with official duties in the cabinet. He usually worked in the cabinet in the morning, and only went out to spend time and drink in the afternoon, enjoying the gentle place until he returned home in the evening, and had fun and never returned all night.

At this moment, he was standing outside Yan Song's public room and listening to a servant whispering to report the news just now.

"You said that King Yu's sedan headed straight to Lu Mansion?"

Yan Shifan's fat face, his eyebrows slightly frowned, making him look very funny, but his expression was very unkind at this time.

"Yes, young master, this morning, Wei Guangde went to Lu Mansion to pay his respects again, and he did not leave afterwards. However, his family led his horse from Lu Mansion for a while. He just returned to Lu Mansion not long ago. After that, we found that Prince Yu's sedan chair was coming here and there was news."

The Ding reported in a low voice.

Lu Bing was dead. Yan Song was very surprised when he heard the news again. Even when Lu Bing was still in Xiyuan, he went to visit him in person.

But when he went home at night, he immediately found Yan Shifan's study and questioned the matter sternly.

Yan Shifan naturally would not admit it. Even though the plan had been successful and they had even known about Lu Bing's death, Yan Shifan still did not admit that the matter was related to him in front of Yan Song.

Although Yan Song instinctively believed that this matter should have been the action of Yan Shifan and King Jing, he was so helpless.

He knew very well that using poison to kill political enemies was a very bad precedent.

In political struggles, he can do everything he wants to win. Even if he frames and deceives the holy ears, he can do it. As long as he gets rid of the political enemy or even goes to prison, no one has ever killed his political enemy, but that is not a means of assassination, but he is winning in the struggle.

As for the other party's life in the future, it is also in prison.

In a place like a prison, anything can happen, and it is also the case that the winner is decided.

Yan Song stared at Yan Shifan for a long time that night, and had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and told the mansion to be careful after eating.

They can use despicable means to poison political enemies, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not deal with them like this.

This is also the reason why Yan Song was unwilling to use these disgusting things from beginning to end. You can use them, and others can also do the same thing, but in the end he suffers a loss.

Yan Shifan really didn't expect this. In his impression, since his father Yan Song became the chief minister, who else in the capital dared not to give face to the Yan family?

There are people like that, but most of them are either demoted and sent to barren lands or have their bodies and heads. Who dares to harm the Yan family?

Well, maybe I'm used to being smooth sailing, so there was no idea that Yan Shifan was being beaten up in his heart.

But at this time, when Yan Song told him to strengthen the safety of the food in the mansion, Yan Shifan felt a chill on his spine after realizing it.

During the days after Lu Bing was poisoned, he also consciously reduced the number of times he ate and drank outside, and most of the time he went home or had fun in other courtyards.

Of course, he did not delay the serious business, such as observing the situation in the palace and monitoring the Lu family's reactions.

Lu Bing has taken over the Jinyiwei for more than ten years and has already trained a reliable team.

Although with Lu Bing's death, there were inevitably two rats among these people, and even took the opportunity to betray the Lu family and surrender to Zhu Xizhong's disciples, there were also many people who were still loyal to the Lu family.

Moreover, during this period, Zhu Xizhong did not want to take over the Jinyiwei completely, after all, his foundation was in the Beijing Camp.

But no matter what, after being scolded by Yan Song, Yan Shifan still sent someone to keep an eye on the Lu family and also to pay attention to the Jinyiwei. He was still a little worried that the Lu family would rely on the Jinyiwei to find out something.

For these Qiu Ba, sometimes there is no need to tell evidence. As long as there is sufficient reason for doubt, they can retaliate, and the methods are also unpredictable.

Thinking about Zhao Wenhua's death, although Yan Shifan did not see it with his own eyes, it was also creepy when he heard about it.

As for the retribution circulating among the people, Yan Shifan would never believe it.

If there is really retribution, how can you not be retribution when doing evil?

Today, Yan Shifan was a little worried when he stared at the news sent by the people from the Lu family.

In fact, at the beginning, King Jing proposed how to deal with it if the poisoning Lu Bing failed or was investigated by the inner court afterwards.

Yan Shifan naturally considered this. Now many people in the inner court have heard about the rumors that they had released, and I believe it will soon spread to the outer court.

Mudging the water, just like Gao Gong guessed, was Yan Shifan's plan.
