Chapter 168

Yu Chuqing frowns when she hears Lu Que's words. She does not deny that her son's words are reasonable. It's just that Jing Navy and Han navy are special. As two separate navies set up in the twelve main armies of Da Qian, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding Da Qian's sea border. Every commander is a loyal and self-conscious person.

The current commander of Jing Navy is Wang yuyuangao of Heyang, while commander of Han Navy is Gan Xiaoxian. One is the sixth younger brother of Qian Emperor Yu Yuanxu, and the other is a minister of his secret residence. Like Bai Yi and Shen Zhang, Gan Xiaoxian was a close friend of the emperor during the period of the Imperial Academy. He was one of the most trusted ministers.

"Queer, the commander of the Jinghai army is the king of Heyang, and the commander of the Han Navy is Gan Xiaoxian. One of these two men is the prince of the royal family, and the other is a loyal minister. Do you suspect that one of them is involved in you and Cai?" Yu Chuqing looks at Lu que with a dignified face. In Yu Chuqing's heart, even if all Daqian's aristocratic families are reversed, she will not be shocked, because no matter what people who have families in their hearts first and then countries do, she will not be surprised. But for Daqian's military commanders and commanders, she has never doubted their loyalty.

Lu que shook his head and said, "mother, I have never doubted the Heyang king and Gan Shuai, but there are so many soldiers in the army, and the military affairs are so numerous that it is beyond one person's power to take care of them. It's impossible that there are no aristocratic family members or dark sons buried in advance in the two armies, and even the two commanders can't guarantee their loyalty to me. "

"It's reasonable to say that the business of Daqian is well-developed, not only with the western regions, but also with the eastern and overseas countries. Except for the imperial court and private businesses, the vast majority of business routes are in the hands of aristocratic families. In order to ensure the interests of the family, there must be many aristocratic families in the Jinghai and Hanhai armies, regardless of the previous hundreds of sanliannu and jieyingyou The Tsai and the Tsai people didn't have to have a high official position to go out to sea. A small battalion Sima could do it. " Lu Chun nodded.

"In this way, the two armies really need to have a thorough investigation. In this way, I will go to see Badi tomorrow. He is one of the three phases of the military. He has the Department of military intelligence and the Department of military justice in his hands. After communicating with the two military commanders, he needs the cooperation of the two departments." Yu Chuqing's eyes twinkled with cold light.

Yu Chuqing has no prejudice against those loyal aristocratic families. After all, for Daqian, the power of nobility, aristocratic family and poor family is indispensable. As a superior, it is the most basic quality to select talents. During the new year's day, she also discussed with the emperor about the future cabinet selection, and moved Yan Shouyi, the eldest son of Yan's family in Jinghu County, to be the Minister of the household, The next step is to preside over the Ministry of household affairs, and then enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. No matter she or the emperor, she still appreciated Yan's family of the Jingye family.

But she doesn't have such a good attitude towards those aristocratic families who despise justice but value self-interest. What's more, this time you and CAI are the actual executors who transported Sha Hai and Sha Lei to Daqian and killed Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng who returned to Beijing. In any case, she can't let these two families leave Daqian smoothly, and she can't let the person behind the scenes hide in the dark all the time, In this world, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent thieves.

"Your Majesty should have ordered a thorough investigation of the Royal three guards, but you should also inform the Tianhuo army and Panshi army of this matter. Xiping and Beiyuan counties are located in the northwest. No matter which way they go to the eastern sea border, they will pass by the defense areas of the two armies as long as they don't cross the blue river." Lu Chun thought about it and added.

"My husband said so." Yu Chuqing nodded.

Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing discuss the details again. After carefully perfecting the matter, they suddenly find that their son Lu que has not opened his mouth. Instead, they are dazed by the lights on the candlestick.

"What are you thinking, queer?" Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing both know that Lu que can always look at problems from the perspective that they are not easily aware of. At this time, they are curious to see him like this.

"Father, mother, what do you say? I'm a little lost. " Lu is short of the body slightly a shock, some blankly looking at husband and wife two people, obviously didn't hear their just questioning.

"What are you thinking about? Are you tired of thinking so deeply? If you're tired, go back to your room and have a rest. " Yu Chuqing suddenly remembered that Lu que had been on the official ship of the Ministry of household affairs for more than half a month. He thought he was a little tired.

"I'm not tired." Lu que shook his head and said, "I'm thinking, if we don't consider from the motive of intercepting me and sister Qingcheng, we just consider from the layout of this matter, then who has the ability to do it in the big dry."

Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing look at each other, and their eyes are bright. Yes, if we don't think about who has the motivation, we only think about who has the ability, and then we exclude them one by one. Finally, the rest, even if there is no evidence, can be identified as the behind the scenes. But as they thought about it, they shook their heads at the same time, because the whole thing is not complicated, and there are no fewer people who can do it.

No matter the commander-in-chief of the 12th army or the commander-in-chief of the 24th army, this can be done easily. What's more, there are five prime ministers in the cabinet, three phases in the outer cabinet, eight great powers' government and nine great aristocratic families, and even some meritorious officials' mansions and medium-sized aristocratic families with a wide range of contacts. It's really a long time to investigate one by one.

"Father, mother, do you think there are so many people who can do it that you can't find out?" Seeing that they nodded, Lu que said, "in fact, I think the commander of the 12th army and the commander of the 24th army can be ruled out, and the prime ministers and the ministers in the inner and outer pavilions can also be ruled out."

Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing nodded after hearing the speech. If they can't trust the high-level military and political officials, then Daqian will be finished. The people mentioned by Lu que may have some shortcomings, but they will never try to do such a rebellious act.

"What do you think, queer? Are you doubting the nine great families?" Yu Chuqing frowned and asked. Although this matter was directly carried out by you and CAI, Yu Chuqing never doubted the nine great families at the top of the Daqian family.

"I just don't think the nine great families are possible." Lu que shook his head.

"Oh, that's why. Tell me." Lu Chun looks at his son with interest and asks.

"The nine aristocratic families, in fact, refer to the several families that the previous emperors have given family plaques since the reign of Emperor Wen, plus the Yao family that his Majesty gave ten years ago. Now they should be the top ten aristocratic families. Although the names of these ten families are widely known, they are not people who only seek personal gain."

Lu que took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He continued, "there are three families in Chaoge County: the music family of Tianyin, the music family of Yeyong County, and the dance family of Shengwu in Tianxiang county. These three families are similar. They explain that there are few children in the family who pursue the supreme music and dance."

"The Mu family in Qinglin County, the Shi Family in Chishan County, the Feng family in Liancheng County, the Ou family in Daye County, and the Yao family in the medical family of Mr. Yao, my father and mother should know better than me." Speaking of this, Lu que smiles.

Yao Yi'an, a miracle doctor, is his parents and his own medical teacher. Mu Zhuo, Feng Yao and Shi Kuan, three great uncles, have been following his father for many years, and they have been trapped in the mountain for 12 years. The Euclidean family of Shengzhu, whose mother gave him the keepsake of love, which is the set of iron like clay carving knives now used in Lu que, was made by the Euclidean family, Therefore, he must know more about these three parents than he does, and these five families are the pinnacles of their pursuit of skills. Although some of their children work in the imperial court or the military, they never participate in the court disputes.

"These are already eight families. What about Duanmu family, a great merchant family in Hanhai County, and Yan family, a business family in Jinghu county?" Yu Chuqing nods with a smile. What Lu que says is the reason why she has never doubted the nine aristocratic families, because the eight families never pursued the power of the imperial court, especially the three families of Tianyin, Shenqu and Shengwu. They never set foot in the imperial court except for the strong ones in the family who hold the position of offering sacrifices to the imperial city. The lust for power and selfishness is like poison to them who pursue music and dance.

"The Yan Family of Jinghu county is the most involved family in the affairs of the imperial court. Because of its inheritance, each generation is full of outstanding people. The year before last, Yan Zheng was the second best in Chongyang imperial examination, which shows his family background. However, as far as I know, the family style of Yan family is simple and simple. Since the founding of the state by Da Qian, he has served as a minister for three terms, and has been concentrating on the affairs of the state and the court. In my opinion, the loyal and honest officials of Yan family are also a rare clean stream in the aristocratic family. " When it comes to the Yan Family of Jinghu, Lu que can't help admiring it. This family has a large number of famous officials, which can be said to be a family that really takes the world as its own responsibility.

"Yes, the Yan Family in Jinghu is indeed a model of the aristocratic family. Maybe it's also the reason why Emperor Wen granted the plaque to his family." Lu Chun also said with emotion that he was born in a poor family and used to be a leader of a poor family. He was born with no family to deal with, but he could only express his admiration for Jinghu Yan family.

"Our ancestors, Emperor Wen, have bright eyes. We are the great masters of poetry and calligraphy, the great masters of poetry and etiquette, and the great masters of farming and reading. However, only a few families, such as Zhuge family, Luo family, Liu family, and Yan family, can do this. These people can be said to be my loyal ministers. " Yu Chuqing knows more about Yan family than Lu Chun. Her best friend married Yan Shouyi, Yan Zheng's biological mother.

If she didn't know enough about the Yan family, she would not recommend Yan Shouyi to the emperor to serve as the Minister of the household department and assist the crown prince Yu Minghao in the cabinet a few years later.

In general, the power of the imperial family, the noble family, the aristocratic family and the poor family in the inner and outer chambers of the Da Qian Dynasty was divided to balance the court situation. Take the current five prime ministers in the cabinet as an example. Zhuge Xingzhi, the prime minister, is Fu Guogong. Liu, the second prime minister, is no doubt a member of the aristocratic family. Zuo xiangshen Wujiu is one of the thirty-six civil and military princes. Right Prime Minister lacquer carving Shu and foreign minister min Wensheng are from poor families. In waige, Gu Huairen is the Duke of Ding, Yu Yuanpu is the king of Zhongyang, and Pei Yan is the Marquis of Wu Jin.

It can be seen from the forces of the inner and outer pavilions that the military of Daqian's imperial court restricted each other, and Shouyi was the assistant administrator of the future aristocratic faction selected by the emperor and Yu Chuqing.

"Queer, you haven't talked about the Duanmu family in Hanhai." Yu Chuqing smiles at Lu Que and says.

"Mother, who in the world doesn't know that Duanmu's family is a royal merchant directly under the royal family. She must know Duanmu's mother better than her son." Lu que shook his head. If xungui, aristocratic family and poor family were all ministers of the great Qian Dynasty, then Duanmu family was directly under the royal family of Yu. Although Duanmu family was the richest in the world, they had to pay a lot of wealth to the royal family every year. They were the great merchants supported by the royal family.

Yu Chuqing smiles a little and doesn't go on with this topic. He even knows more about Duanmu family than the Emperor himself. The royal family of Yu family won't accept people's fat and cream like the royal family of previous dynasties, but the royal family's dignity is still needed. Duanmu family is the family that the royal family let go to do business and restrain their wealth, if they are not close to the right people, How can it be Duanmu's turn to do such things? There are only some things that can be done, but they can't be said.

"Since none of the top ten aristocratic families is possible, do you doubt the government of the eight great powers or those medium-sized aristocratic families?" Lu Chun continued the discussion. In his opinion, the imperial family of Daqian had done a good job. Even if Duanmu family was trading with other countries and accumulating wealth for the royal family, it was just a small measure. It was not a big deal, because such a means was not harmful to the country and the people. As for whether someone would be robbed of business by Duanmu family, it was not his public interest to consider.

"I think so, too." Lu nodded.

"Every government of the eight great powers has a certificate of iron and bronze, and the title is hereditary. Except for our Lu family, whether it is the Gu family, the Su family, the Zhuge family, or the Luo family, the Yun family, the Bai family, or the Zhi family, there is no reason or motivation to do so." Yu Chuqing shook her head.

Apart from the Lu family of Wei state, the government of the seven great powers has been inherited for more than 240 years since the founding of Daqian. The interests of the family have long been closely linked with Daqian and the royal family of Yu. Moreover, Lu que is also the son of the Duke of the country. He was born in xungui, and his upper position also represents the rise of xungui. As the same position and faction, they have no reason to do so.

"In this world, people's hearts are the most unpredictable. It's a little too long for more than 240 years." Lu Chun suddenly said in an exclamatory tone.

"Brother chun, do you mean ~" Yu Chuqing looks at her husband with an incredible face. She never thought that these top nobility associations would deal with Lu que, because in her heart, these families are closely related to the royal family, and even if they have different political opinions, they can be trusted.

Lu Chun sighed and said with some profound meaning, "I didn't say anything, but it's better to be a villain before a gentleman. Apart from our Weiguo government, the seven great powers government have existed since the founding of our country. Our Weiguo government has only been in existence for two years. Some things can't be changed by just one title. It will take time, At least I, Lu Chun, have been a poor leader in my life. Do you understand? "

Yu Chuqing heard some silence, many people think that Lu que is the son of the government, is Xun GUI origin. However, it is less than two years since Lu Chun was granted the title of Duke of Wei. The former Marquis of Wuping was granted after the war in Northern Xinjiang. Lu Chun's real identity is the leader of the three heroes of the poor family who led the rise of the poor family. Even his son Lu que is still supported by the poor students. It can be seen that Lu Chun's position in the poor family is very important.

Although Lu Chun was granted the title of Duke of Wei with a certificate of iron and bronze, did these top nobility really accept the Lu family as one of them? Perhaps the Gu family, Su family and Zhuge family, who have made friends with their husband and wife, accept it. Do the Yun family, Luo family, Zhi family and Bai family really accept it? Can they really accept their son's position? Thinking of the members of each government's direct family here, they flashed through Yu Chuqing's mind one by one.

Yunshu, a man of great accomplishments, Zhuge Xingzhi, and Luo canglan, an old and firm man, appear one after another in Yu Chuqing's mind. However, no matter how she thinks about it, she thinks that these people can't fight Lu que. Her son Lu que is the commander-in-chief of the army granted by the emperor and the son of the emperor. He has half of the royal blood. Attacking and killing him is tantamount to rebellion, Even if there is a bond, it can't protect them.

On the one hand, it may be Lu que who has been assisting the government for more than ten years. On the other hand, it is the family inheritance that has been separated from the state. People with clear eyes can see at a glance which is more important. In order to fight for more than ten years' rights and bring disaster to their own family, it is a loss business. Those who grow up in the whirlpool of power and profit will never do so, let alone kill their sons, He also took Gu Qianxue and Gu Qingcheng, who were from the state of Ding.

"Qing'er." Seeing that his wife's face was a little cloudy and sunny, Lu Chun gently held her hand and said in a warm voice, "sooner or later, things will come to light. At that time, we should be more prepared and not give each other a chance."

"My husband said that I think too much." Yu Chuqing's eyes are clear again. She smiles a little embarrassed, but she doesn't pull her hand back. With Lu Chun, she is very relieved.

"Queer, you can go to Fengming academy after a few days' rest at home. The academy has been open for more than half a month. As the chief of the Academy, you should go back." Lu Chun looked at Lu Que and said.

"Yes, father, that's what the child thinks." Lu nodded. There is no safer place than Fengming Academy in the capital of Daqian, except for the imperial palace. The old people in those academies are all highly cultivated people.

"There are a lot of things going on in the imperial capital this year. After a while, the Fengxiang army will go south. In autumn and moon, the county students from all over the country will go to Beijing to take part in the Chongyang exam every two years. When the school is resting, we will ask you to go to the school to meet you. Usually, we will try to stay in the school as far as possible, and don't come out if it's OK. It's just time to consolidate our cultivation and study." Yu Chuqing also said.

"Mother, I know, but when sister Qingcheng leaves Beijing and goes south, I'm going to see her off." At this point, Lu Xu blushed slightly.

"She's your fiancee. She's the future mother of the Lu family. You're going to send her." Yu Chuqing and Lu Chun look at their son's expression and can't help laughing. In their opinion, they are in agreement, which is much better than a simple political marriage.

"Well, it's getting late. You've been on the boat for more than half a month, and you must be tired. Go and have a rest early."

"Father and mother should not work too hard. The child will leave."
