Repeat the same mistake
Lu Xingchuan glanced at Qin Shu, whose pupils were shaking.
Well, it doesn't look like acting...
Qin Shu was still wondering why Lu Xingchuan was so dissatisfied with him?
It seems that that bastard Ren Xuan is causing trouble for him again. He is getting hard and his fists are getting hard.
This was a question of political correctness. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang denied it outright, resoundingly saying, "Lord Lu, this is absolutely not the case."
Lu Xingchuan closed the teacup and put it back on the table, then subconsciously touched the bronze soft sword on the table.
Then he saw his nephew pull out his sword.
Lu Xiyun nervously blocked the man behind him and said, "Uncle, you can't do this! If you don't interrogate or ask questions, this is lynching!"
Qin Huaizhang also hurriedly advised: "Xingchuan, even if you really want to kill him, you can't do it in your house."
Lu Xingchuan: “…”
One big and one small. This family is doomed to fail sooner or later.
Lu Xingchuan silently withdrew his hand from his sword and stood up from the rosewood chair in the middle of the room. "Qin Shu, you dare to come to see me alone? If I kill you directly, it will only show that I, Lu Xingchuan, have no magnanimity. It just so happens that there will be a five-nation alliance in the Qiang and Rong tribes to the west in the middle of next month. How about you come with me?"
Don't... Qin Huaizhang felt sad. If he's not at home, you can't take him out to kill him...
Qin Shu didn't rush to refuse. Although the current situation seemed to be at the mercy of others, there was still a long time until next month.
Even if it's just a delaying tactic, it's not a bad idea. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is extremely flexible and adaptable: "As long as Lord Lu doesn't mind, I am willing to carry the sword for you."
"No, no one can beat him with his two moves outside the martial arts ban." Lu Xiyun defended him strongly: "Uncle, I'll go with you to settle the score."
Tsk, why is this kid so stubborn?
Lu Xingchuan was already regretting that he shouldn't have listened to his elder sister and allowed Qin Shu to get close to his nephew.
What about planning ahead, betting on the new emperor, and maintaining a smooth transfer of military power in the Western Palace? If this continues, the only remaining seedling will be abducted.
To be honest, there's nothing wrong with having a little ambition, and a little skill is a good thing, but if you don't care about anything, you'll be a complete political machine.
There are people that Lu Xingchuan cares about, and there are quite a few of them.
Lu Xingchuan didn't think that he could deal with someone like Qin Shu alone in the future.
——When choosing an ally, it’s best to find someone who is a little dumber than you.
Lord Lu straightened his nephew's clothes and said earnestly, "Xiyun, the alliance is politics, you don't understand it. Are you afraid that your uncle will harm him?"
Qin Shu watched coldly, haha, it seemed like the real thing.
His Royal Highness Prince Xiang took the initiative and said, "With Lord Lu's ability, there will naturally be no problems."
Lord Lu's cold gaze swept over him and said, "Boy, are you trying to flatter me?"
Lu Xingchuan glanced at Qin Shu with a forced smile.
Qin Shu gave him a chance to step up his game: "Lord Lu is concerned about state affairs. I will do my best to prevent you from worrying about them."
Regardless of whether they have a tacit understanding or not, at least they have reached an agreement on the surface.
Lu Xingchuan was never shy about showing his political favor without asking for money. "It's not safe to go back to the Ministry of Justice. So, I'll vouch for you. Your Highness won't have to waste time there before the Three Departments process begins."
Qin Shu said very politely, "In that case, thank you very much, my Lord."
···
Lord Lu nodded, and then the Lu family’s case was no longer a case.
After all, it was Lu Jie who plotted against Qin Huaizhang first. If Lord Lu did not pursue Lu Jie, it would show his magnanimity.
It’s not that Lu Xingchuan is really broad-minded, but in the entire Lu family, Lu Jie is still lying down, Lu Jie’s son Lu Wenzhong is a blank slate, and the rest of the people are clueless.
However, Lu Jie's nephew Lu Shi'an came forward and took the initiative to make the matter smaller.
In this regard, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang's focus is not on the Lu family.
Yunxiang Pavilion, in a deep dream.
Amid the soft music of stringed instruments, Ren Xuan and General Ren felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Your boss first took the initiative to fill your glass of wine: "Lord Lu Jie was injured, and this king is also deeply disturbed."
"General Ren, regarding Lord Lu's injuries and the Emperor's uncle's injuries, do you have anything to tell me and Mr. Lu?"
Ren Xuan now saw three clear words written on the wine glass - beheading wine.
He was the one who stabbed Qin Huaizhang and Lu Jie, not to mention Qin Shu. Now Ren Xuan even looks at himself as an undercover agent.
The scene froze for a moment.
Seeing Ren Xuan's awkward state, unable to sit or stand, Lu Shi'an coughed lightly and tried to make amends for him: "After his uncle was injured, Ren Xuan went to the Lu family and even took me to see Master Lu. You were in prison at the time. If he wanted to harm you, he wouldn't have done this."
Lu Xiyun, who was beside her, was busy picking lychees from the fruit bowl and simply stating the facts: "Ren Xuan came to see me."
This is crucial.
After all, if Ren Xuan was really a chess piece planted by his side, once Qin Shu was imprisoned, it would be impossible for him to go to such great lengths to rescue His Royal Highness Prince Xiang.
Qin Shu knew this very well.
This is also the reason why Qin Shu is still in the mood to drink with Ren Xuan.
To be honest, Qin Shu admired Ren Xuan for his personality and way of dealing with things.
Qin Shu was almost treating Ren Xuan as his confidant, but he was suddenly dealt with like this, and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang was very depressed.
But he never relied solely on his feelings when hiring people: "If it's an accident, the general will explain the accident clearly. If it's a misunderstanding, the general will tell Xiao Wang what the misunderstanding is."
Ren Xuan shrank his neck slightly, it seemed like he couldn't avoid it.
No matter what, survival is the most important thing. Ren Xuan coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, how about we talk?"
Prince Lu said without hesitation: "I'm going to listen to music, would you like to come with me, Shi'an?"
Ren Xuan sighed. Lu Xiyun's awareness of staying out of trouble was truly extraordinary.
When he looked up again, his boss was not so happy.
Ren Xuan was confused for a moment and didn't dare to ask.
Staring at the visibly depressed state of His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, General Ren made a startling statement: "Your Highness, I have lived two lives."
Ren Xuan knew that the other party would not believe such weird things, but Ren Xuan was prepared. He could tell many things about Qin Shu that were unknown to others.
However, the reaction of the person in front of him was unexpected, and Qin Shu did not even question it.
Qin Shu raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine: "So you are trying to change something?"
Qin Shu realized something was wrong very early on. When he knew almost nothing about Ren Xuan, the other party already knew him very well.
Not only Ren Xuan, but Wen Congren also seemed to be acting strangely.
Qin Shu looked at the untouched cup in front of Ren Xuan, and the person opposite him immediately understood what he meant.
Ren Xuan raised his glass: "Your Highness, whatever I do is to prevent the same mistakes from happening again."
Let Ren Xuanman drink this cup.
Qin Shu lowered his eyes and murmured the word "repeat the mistakes" in a low voice: "A few days ago in the Ministry of Justice, I saw something that can't be called the future. Perhaps it is the same mistake you mentioned."
"Your Highness...what did you see?"
Qin Shu did not respond, but simply asked: "Wen Congren, I want to get rid of this person, what do you think?"
To be honest, Ren Xuan didn't know much about Wen Congren.
In his previous life, Wen Congren was a nobody, and he and Ren Xuan, the emperor's confidant, had absolutely no connection at all.
But if the identity of the little brother behind Wen Congren is really as he thought, then Wen Congren's position will definitely not completely deviate from Qin Shu's.
Ren Xuan pondered for a moment: "Your Highness, this person cannot be ignored, nor can he be completely eliminated."
Qin Shu laughed indifferently and said, "Why can't we eliminate them all?"
Ren Xuan was ashamed. Wasn't this because he was afraid that you might accidentally kill your own son as well?
Ren Xuan coughed lightly and began to talk about something else: "How do we know if all the tricks that Wen Congren had on the prince have been eliminated?"
A good subordinate must be good at guessing the leader's intentions, and Qin Shu was obviously also very wary of this.
Qin Shu regarded this newly crowned third place winner as a threat: "This man is constantly on the move and has no restraint. He will definitely become a serious problem."
Ren Xuanxin said, "No, with Wen Congren's level, wouldn't it be better to leave an experience pack for his son?"
Since we can't defeat this scholar in terms of conspiracy or overt schemes, we might as well just ban him. Ren Xuan offered another explanation: "The barbarians in the south are in the midst of a turmoil over the succession. Sending someone to further seduce them might be a good thing for me."
Using military power to control foreign tribes has always been Dagan's policy towards foreign races. The chaotic inheritance system of the grassland tribes means that the royal courts of these foreign races will always be in chaos every few decades.
Ren Xuan was about to continue speaking when he heard a creaking sound and the door of the room was opened from the outside.
The person who came in without notice was the owner of Yunxiang Pavilion. Chu Xinyue smiled rather guiltily: "Your Highness, eight thousand taels, signed for your account."
It's nothing new. The Empress Dowager and Marquis Lu are keeping an eye on him every day. When Prince Lu is not doing his job, it's all due to the money he takes from Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Qin Shu waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave: "Got it."
Boss Chu's smile became even more guilty this time: "Don't you want to check the order?"
Qin Shu raised his eyes: "What?"
Chu Xinyue coughed lightly, feeling completely embarrassed at having accidentally messed up something. "No matter what... buying someone back... is not a good idea...?"
His Royal Highness Prince Xiang effectively typed out a string of question marks.
This feeling of déjà vu was so familiar that General Ren glanced at Chu Xinyue in surprise. Are you serious?
···
As expected, the plan to introduce outstanding musicians to Prince Lu's mansion failed.
His Royal Highness Prince Xiang rejected your budget request outright.
Lu Xiyun could spend the money, but if the Queen knew how she spent it, she would definitely be scolded.
You never know, you might even have to worry about his lifelong affairs.
He couldn't spend the money, so Prince Lu continued to grab His Royal Highness Xiang Wang and said, "Tsk, don't be so stingy. I'll make it up to you later from other sources."
If he said he would not agree, then he would not agree. His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang said righteously: "With your enthusiasm for those three days, you will delay others later."
Lu Xiyun was unhappy now: "What three days of enthusiasm? I've made up my mind. I'll go back and learn this from the zheng master. I can master it within three months!"
Seeing his boss's face about to turn into a pot, Ren Xuan skillfully tried to smooth things over: "Sir, you don't have to go back to the mansion to study. Let's just say that in the second half of the year, Yufeng Hall will hold another martial arts performance. Will you go?"
Prince Lu coughed guiltily. Of course he had to attend the military parade held every five years.
Ren Xuan spread his hands: "That's right. You see, you're not at home every day, and you're monopolizing Miss Bai Xi's time. Isn't this delaying the Zheng Master?"
It seemed to make some sense. Lu Xiyun was always easy to talk to. "Then what do you say we should do?"
Ren Xuan responded calmly: "It's easy. Whenever you want to learn, just send the butler to Yunxiang Pavilion to pick you up."
Just let Ren Xuanjue think that this prince's enthusiasm would only last for three minutes. If it is delayed any longer, it will definitely end up in nothing.
Prince Lu nodded reluctantly: "That's fine."
Seeing Qin Shushao's expression, Ren Xuan felt that his confidant's position was precarious on the edge of a cliff, so he took a step back.
