"Xiu Ming Hui?! But isn't that an organization that opposes the imperial court?" Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise again.
The fifth prince shook his head slightly: "You are wrong. To be precise, the Xiuming Society is not against the imperial court, but only against some corrupt officials and dignitaries. Some people are difficult to get rid of by relying on the imperial court itself, so they can only be dealt with by the simplest and most violent methods.
"And Xiuminghui is such a product."
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but look up to the Fifth Prince beside him. He originally thought that the Fifth Prince was so young, could he really take on the mess that would follow?
But now it seems that this fifth prince has extraordinary abilities, whether it is winning over military generals and nobles or cultivating forces such as the Xiu Ming Society. This ability is more useful than simple cultivation, but Emperor Wen does not understand this.
…
After returning to his residence, Zhou Zhilu sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes half closed, recalling everything he had experienced that day.
Emperor Wu appeared, the doomsday crisis occurred, and Emperor Wen was deposed. Zhou Zhilu felt that the subsequent developments were too chaotic. First, the capital city would inevitably be looted, and then there would be a war between the human and demon races.
Improving strength will be the most urgent thing at the moment.
Fortunately, what he lacked the least at the moment was shocking truths and secrets.
He immediately unfolded the "Book of Boundaries" and recorded everything he had heard and seen today in the book. Suddenly, bursts of various spiritual energy burst out from Zhou Zhilu's residence.
Seeing this, the right prime minister who was far away in Shoutian Tower flicked his fingertips and an invisible seal immediately covered the scene.
After finishing all this, the Right Prime Minister sipped his tea and murmured, "First it was the Great Song Dynasty, then the demon tribe, and finally that forbidden land... After hundreds of years of silence, it's finally time for some movement."
…
That night, the new aristocratic families, the Lu family and the Xiao family, welcomed guests.
The head of the Lu family was named Lu Lianshan, the current second-rank minister of the Ministry of Works. He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, frowned, and asked, "Liangtian? What brings you here?"
This young man named Liangtian is the eldest son of a good family today, but his reputation is not very good.
Compared with ordinary aristocratic families, the eldest son with inheritance rights is usually the focus of family training. Take the Yun family for example. As the eldest son of the Yun family, Yun Baiqi’s cultivation and official position are all cultivated by the family with all its strength.
As the youngest son, Yun Li received much less attention. In addition, the head of the Yun family had many wives and concubines, so Yun Li rarely saw his father.
However, Liangtian was completely different. When he had no younger brothers and sisters, he was urged by his family to practice hard day and night like everyone else. But when his father gave birth to a younger brother, Liangtian seemed to see hope and worked hard to train his younger brother so that he could completely give up.
In the end, he did succeed. His younger brother Liang Wenzhao became a talented young man in the capital at that time, and he himself was given the title of rotten mud as he wished.
Liang Tian was wearing a loose blue-green embroidered robe, holding a white fan. He clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "My nephew greets Uncle Lu."
After noticing Lu Lianshan's scrutinizing gaze, Liangtian shamelessly laughed, "Uncle Lu, could you please let me in for a chat? I'm here on my father's orders to discuss... the changing situation in the capital."
Lu Lianshan frowned at Liang Tian's playful expression. If his brother Liang Wenzhao had come, he might have treated him with more respect. However, he thought that even if Liang Tian was naughty, he would not dare to come to him in the middle of the night to make fun of him. So he put his hands behind his back and said, "Then come in."
As Lu Lianshan walked into the living room, Liangtian sat on the guest chair and asked with a smile, "Uncle Lu, could you please have a cup of hot tea? My nephew came to visit me so late at night and was caught in a cold wind on the way."
Lu Lianshan couldn't help but roll his eyes. It wasn't me who asked you to come, but he still said, "Someone, bring tea."
When the tea was served, Liangtian drank it mouthful by mouthful. When he saw that Lu Lianshan looked unhappy, he asked him to send the servants away and said:
"Uncle Lu, I wonder what you think of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince?"
Lu Lianshan's expression changed immediately, and he shouted, "How dare you criticize the current emperor? Do you want to lose your head?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Tian simply smiled calmly and said, "Don't panic, Mr. Lu. I think the Fifth Prince has a calm personality and cares about the people. My father has also praised the Fifth Prince for his impressive experience in governing the country many times."
Lu Lianshan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was cold, and he stared straight at Liangtian. The aura of sacred learning emanated from him. It seemed as if there were countless scholars behind him glaring at Liangtian, scolding him for disrespecting etiquette and talking nonsense.
But looking at the fertile fields again, he simply raised his cup again, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "My father sent me here because he was concerned about my friendship with Uncle Lu and the Lu family. He wanted to tell Uncle Lu that no matter what happened in the capital tonight, just pretend you didn't see or hear it."
Lu Lianshan's pupils shrank sharply. The other party's words had already hinted at too much, and coupled with the question just asked, the answer was self-evident.
"Are you, are you crazy? Emperor Wen is still here!"
Liangtian immediately retorted, "What difference does it make whether he's here or not?"
"You!" Lu Lianshan pointed at Liangtian, unable to believe that the other party could easily say such outrageous words.
"Lü Shibo, you are well aware of the current situation in the Song Dynasty. The reason is closely related to the court's inaction over the past few decades. The situation of the entire continent may undergo major changes in the future. The Song Dynasty needs someone who can get things done!"
Lu Lianshan's expression changed several times, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Go away. I won't see you off for now, I won't hear anything you said tonight!"
