The Queen said after hearing this.
"Let your uncle tell you about this matter! It's just right for your aunt to listen too."
Only then did Lu Minghan explain the whole process of the incident in detail from beginning to end.
Situ Jin and Situ Li were stunned after hearing this. Their grandfather was so cruel. Everyone knew what he had done over the years for his third uncle, but they didn't reveal it because of the blood relationship and pretended to be ignorant. Now he actually wanted to harm his second uncle's cousin who was found with great difficulty for the sake of his illegitimate sons' children?
What's going on in his heart? Isn't his second uncle his child? Isn't Lu Zifeng his grandson?
Now knowing the result, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin looked at each other in bewilderment. In the past, these things mostly happened in the royal family, but for the title of Duke Dingguo, his grandfather actually did this?
The expressions of the two brothers also appeared in this dynasty. The emperor Situ Yong was clear about rewards and punishments, and he appointed a crown prince early on. There was no foul play between the crown prince and the emperor over the years, and the relationship between father and son was very good.
King Qin Situ Li respected his elder brother, the Crown Prince, and was not overbearing in anything. He was willing to follow his elder brother's arrangements in everything.
As for the third prince, Prince Zhao Situ Rui, he also respected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much. Of course, what he was thinking in his heart was unknown.
The fourth prince, Prince of Qi Situ Cong, is only fifteen years old this year and is also very low-key.
So the royal atmosphere is pretty good, of course, don’t mention Prince Qing and Prince Rui.
As they were talking, Emperor Situ Yong walked in and everyone quickly stood up and saluted.
"Okay, get up. We are all family, no need to be polite."
Situ Yong sat next to the queen and looked at Lu Mingxue.
"Where's my fifth brother? I haven't seen him in a while?"
Lu Mingxue smiled.
"Your Majesty, my prince has been busy with the Tatar envoys these days!"
Only then did Situ Yong remember that he had handed over the negotiations with the Tatars to his fifth brother, King Jing.
"Well, Fifth Brother, you've worked hard. Once this matter is finished, let him have a good rest for a while."
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Qing arrived in the capital, exhausted.
As soon as he saw Lu Zifeng, he started complaining.
"Master, you could have just called me here directly. You asked Chang Lin to notify me. Isn't that redundant?"
Lu Zifeng smiled.
"Your master, I am testing how well you two are cooperating."
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else for now. The main reason I asked you to come to the capital this time is to have your men take out a few people. I only want the bodies, not the survivors."
Then he handed a piece of paper to Feng Qing.
Feng Qing looked up at Lu Zifeng in surprise.
"Don't look at them. They are your master's cousins. But they want to find someone to kill me. What do you think your master should do?"
Feng Qing opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
"Master, don't worry! Those kids are well trained now. It's easy to kill these guys."
Lu Zifeng nodded. "Feng Qing, have you explained clearly to your people the path they will take from now on?"
Feng Qing naturally knew what Lu Zifeng meant.
"Master, rest assured! There are currently 458 of us, 413 of whom are secret guards. The remaining 45 have all learned martial arts, medicine, and various other skills, all in preparation for serving you in the future."
Lu Zifeng was also surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Feng Qing and the others had developed so many people after not being back for a few months.
"Oh, how many men and women are there among these forty-five people, and what are they good at?"
Feng Qing chuckled.
"There are thirty-five men and ten women. The men are all between thirteen and eighteen years old. They all know martial arts and some medical skills."
"In addition to martial arts, this woman is also skilled in embroidery, cooking, medicine, and accounting."
After saying that, he smiled.
"I think that the young lady will definitely get married when she grows up, and she will always have a personal maid by her side. It is better to let the maid learn these things than for the young lady to tire herself out. Besides, although the young lady is still young, these maids can train the younger ones, so that there will be a succession of maids."
Lu Zifeng also agreed with Feng Qing's statement and nodded.
"Well, you spoke very well and did very well. Then you can take care of the arrangements! After the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, I will send you a message to have those thirty-five people escort my parents to the capital. Remember to arrange some secret guards as well."
"Yes, Master, I will go and make the arrangements first. I wonder when you plan to deal with them?"
Lu Zifeng pondered for a while.
"Wait until they're settled down. Also, don't leave any traces, okay? Clean it up."
After sending Feng Qing away, Lu Zifeng took out a bottle of beer from the space and started drinking. "Alas, there is not much beer left. If I want to drink it freely, I am afraid I will never have the chance again in this life."
In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival arrived. Today, Lu Zifeng entered the palace and met his aunt, the Queen Mother.
When Lu Mingshuang saw Lu Zifeng, he said.
"They really look alike! I think your father and my brother must be more like your uncle!"
Lu Zifeng said.
"Your Majesty is right. My father does bear some resemblance to Duke Dingguo, but Duke Dingguo is not in very good health and does not look as robust as my father."
After staying in the Queen's Palace for half an hour, Lu Zifeng went to his duty station.
Lu Zifeng is currently serving as a fifth-rank deputy captain in the imperial guards (the official position is just a title, please don't worry about it).
It happened that Lu Zifeng was on duty these two days, and he could not leave if the Queen had not summoned him, so he came back immediately after he finished speaking.
Liu Can walked up to Lu Zifeng and said.
"Sir, I'm back. It's You hour now. After midnight, we're done working. Shall we go get a drink?"
"That kid Cao Yong said he'd treat us today."
Lu Zifeng thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, wait for me at the palace gate then."
Today is the Lantern Festival, and the emperor has ordered the curfew to be lifted, so the streets and alleys are very lively tonight, and the city defense troops are patrolling non-stop, for fear that there will be trouble there.
Who knew that at the hour of Xu, a little eunuch came over.
"Captain Lu, the Emperor has ordered you to appear before him."
Lu Zifeng asked in confusion.
"Is this eunuch a servant of the Emperor?"
The eunuch laughed.
"Yes, I am not good at speaking, so I was not able to serve the emperor. I just ran an errand."
Lu Zifeng narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"Please wait a moment, eunuch. I'll go prepare." After saying that, he went straight back to the room, put the long sword in his hand into the space, and then walked out of the room.
"Please lead the way, young eunuch."
