Chapter five hundred and sixty-two Lu Yijian's plan

After learning about Li Zhang's purpose, Lu Yijian seemed very calm. He savored the tea and then said, "The little lady of the Cao family has indeed been betrothed by others, but the marriage has not been completed, so this incident did not have much impact on her choice as the queen."

"Is that right? But according to the information I found out, the other party's wedding with the Li family was held, and it was only the second day after the marriage that he returned to his parents' home and retired. It was like this and it was still the marriage that had not been completed?" Li Zhang's eyes became a little sharp and asked at the other party.

Lu Yijian was just talking lies with his eyes open. The young lady of the Cao family obviously broke off the engagement after marriage, and maybe even asked the man to write a divorce letter. Even Empress Cao in history did not shy away from her second marriage. This is better than Liu E who was hiding her.

"On the day when Miss Cao got married, when the groom Li Zhi saw her in the bridal chamber, he found that she had ghosts and gods to protect her, which made him dare not approach him. In the end, he was so scared that he was so scared that he was escaping over the wall. From this, it can be seen that Miss Cao is definitely not an ordinary woman, and only such a strange woman can be worthy of the position of Queen of the Song Dynasty!" Lu Yijian said again calmly at this time.

"Hmph, these ghosts and gods can only be used to fool fools. Lu Xiang, who do you think your Majesty and you and me will believe these lies?" Li Zhang snorted angrily when he heard Lu Yijian's words and asked back. Lu Yijian's words were simply insulting his IQ.

Seeing Li Zhang getting angry, Lu Yijian finally sighed softly and said, "Wife Li, why don't you understand? As long as those fools believe in them, it's enough. After all, most of the people in the world are among the foolish people."

"You..." Li Zhang was also a little annoyed when he heard this, but he had to admit that Lu Yijian's words made sense. Even in the era when he was known as enlightened in his later generations, most people still only know how to follow the crowd and have no idea of ​​their own opinions.

After a while, Li Zhang calmed himself down. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Lu Yijian again and asked, "What is your purpose? I don't believe that you have put in such a lot of effort and risked being blamed by Your Majesty, but you didn't have any plans for yourself?"

"If Li Duwei thinks of me like this, he will be a little too underestimated. Lu is devoted to his country and has no selfishness at all!" Lu Yijian replied with a serious expression at this time. However, Li Zhang did not believe his words at all, and he even guessed Lu Yijian's thoughts at this time.

People are not satisfied with their hearts. In the eyes of many people, Lu Yijian has already reached the limit of a minister, so in the eyes of others, he should be satisfied and have no other ideas. But on the contrary, for people like Lu Yijian who are ambitious and capable, and have long-term vision, sitting in the position of prime minister will only make him feel full of crisis.

Zhao Zhen had arranged for Li Di to restrain him, but Li Di was driven away and Wang Zeng came again. Zhao Zhen also warned Lu Yijian through Li Zhang, which made Lu Yijian temporarily accept Wang Zeng, but this also made Lu Yijian feel a crisis, especially recently, some rising stars in the officialdom have appeared one after another, which made him worry about how long he can sit as the prime minister?

In this case, Lu Yijian could only find a way to consolidate his position. However, to the point where he was, there were too few people who could help him. Zhao Zhen was one, but Zhao Zhen always wanted to use people to restrain him, so he turned his attention to the harem. After all, there was the example of Liu E before, so Lu Yijian also wanted to support a queen, especially like Cao Xiaozi, who had problems, but relying on Lu Yijian's support to enter the harem, he would definitely be grateful to him.

It is also worth mentioning that Lu Yijian is very close to the Cao family. The Cao family is not only Cao Wei, but also Cao Wei's other brothers. Most of them are close friends with Lu Yijian. It is said that Lu Yijian has a son and married a woman from the Cao family. With this relationship, the young lady from the Cao family naturally became the most suitable candidate.

"Lu Xiang's eyes are long-term, but sometimes he is too calculating, but it may not be a good thing!" Li Zhang was too lazy to say more without any speculation. He stood up and said goodbye. Lu Yijian did not keep him, and even sent him out of the door himself.

After Li Zhang got on the carriage, he suddenly sighed. Lu Yijian's cunning was too deep and he was willing to take advantage of the situation. In addition, he also thought that Lu Yijian recommended the Cao family's woman to the throne, perhaps not only for himself, but also for his children and grandchildren. After all, Lu Yijian's uncle Lu Mengzheng was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong, and he was also a famous prime minister.

It is worth mentioning that among Lu Yijian's sons, Lu Gongbi, the second son, was appointed as the Privy Councilor, and was also one of the ministers in the court. The third son, Lu Gongzhu, was also one of the famous good ministers in the Song Dynasty. Four prime ministers were born in one family and three generations, which was rare in the world. The reason why Lu Gongbi and Lu Gongzhu were able to achieve such great achievements in the career of the officialdom was, in addition to their own talents, it was probably also closely related to Empress Cao. After all, Empress Cao later ruled the country behind the curtain, and even if she returned the government quickly, it still had a huge influence on the court.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang sighed again. Judging from the history of later generations, Lu Yijian's investment in Empress Cao should have been very successful, which also made Li Zhang feel Lu Yijian's terrible again. Even though this person has many controversies in history, his talents and vision are far beyond most people.

After returning home, Li Zhang was also thinking about the queen. Today he visited Cao Wei and Lu Yijian, but he did not gain anything because he still didn't know whether he should tell Zhao Zhen about the Cao family's young lady's marriage?

"My husband seems to be very upset. I have been having troubles these days. Are you worried about food and food?" When I was bedding at night, Qingzhi coaxed her to sleep peacefully and returned to the bedroom. Suddenly, she asked Li Zhang. She rarely asks about Li Zhang's affairs outside, but she obviously felt that Li Zhang was very upset these days, and she often couldn't sleep at night. She was worried that there was something wrong with Li Zhang's health, so she couldn't help asking.

"It's a bit of trouble." Li Zhang didn't want Qingzhi to worry about him, so he nodded and admitted.

"Is it related to the new queen?" Qingori suddenly asked again.

"You...how do you know?" Li Zhang also looked at Qingori with a shocked expression at this time and asked. Because he had never told Qingori about this, and Qingori never asked about his own affairs, so Li Zhang was very surprised that Qingori guessed that it was the queen.

"What's so rare about this? It's something that can make your husband difficult. Eight out of ten are related to the palace. The biggest thing in the palace is that Your Majesty has established a new queen. It's naturally not difficult to guess after thinking about it." Qingzhi said with a smile.

Li Zhang was even more surprised when he heard this. He had known that his wife was very smart. Not to mention anything else, the family affairs were originally managed by Xiuxiu, but after Xiuxiu got married, Qingori took over, she had already sorted out the family affairs in a few months. All aspects were managed in an orderly manner. At the same time, the relationship between the whole family was very harmonious. Almost no one said anything bad about Qingori. Even when Miaoyuan mentioned Qingori, she admired her tone most of her tone. However, Qingori's current performance still surprised Li Zhang.

After being surprised, Li Zhang couldn't help but praise: "Madam, you are so amazing. You can guess my thoughts so easily. I am indeed worried about this matter, and I have not yet grasped it."

"It should be a good thing for Your Majesty to establish a new queen. Why is your husband upset?" Qingori asked curiously again at this time.

Li Zhang hesitated after hearing this. He originally didn't want Qingori to know this, but when he thought of Qingori's intelligence, maybe she would give herself a good advice after hearing it, so he finally said: "It is indeed a good thing to establish a queen, but there are some problems with the candidate for the new queen..."

As Li Zhang said, he told the story of the Empress Leng of the Cao family's marriage, and Qingori also showed a surprised expression after hearing this. After a while, he said: "A woman is incompatible after marriage, and there are many examples of marrying after breaking up the engagement. However, the queen is the mother of a country after all, and even if there is a precedent for the Empress Dowager, it is really ridiculous."

"Yes, Lu Xiang knows about this, and the Cao family knows it, but His Majesty doesn't know it. It would be fine if I don't know it, but I know it too. So what I am worried about now is whether to tell Your Majesty about it?" Li Zhang said helplessly with his hands spreading on his face.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Qingzhi suddenly smiled and said, "I think you are thinking too much, husband!"

"Too many? What does it mean?" Li Zhang asked in confusion at this time.

Qingori was then smiling while helping Li Zhang take off his clothes, "Actually, my husband just needs to think about it. If an ordinary friend wants to get married, but he doesn't know that his future wife has married before. As a friend, do you want to tell the other party about this news?"

Qingzhi's words were like enlightenment, and immediately made Li Zhang's head clear, and he immediately smiled and said, "This is natural. Why am I so confused? I always think about everything but forget the most basic meaning of a friend!"

Seeing that Li Zhang had figured it out, Qingori also showed a faint smile, thinking that her husband could finally sleep peacefully. However, Qingori still miscalculated. After figuring out the matter, Li Zhang was light and suddenly picked up Qingori. Qingori screamed in fear, but then found that her husband was holding her towards the bed, which made her face flushed. Neither of the couple had slept well that night.

The next morning, Li Zhang immediately entered the palace, but he was still a little worried at this time. I wonder what kind of reaction Zhao Zhen would have when he learned that he was going to marry a second-married woman?
