Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 754: Loyalty and Filial Piety

Lu Chuncai was in a state of desperation, and first wanted to pack up his belongings and try to escape, but there were people from the imperial army inside and outside the Daming Mansion, and Lu's mansion was surrounded by eyeliners, and he was afraid that he would be targeted as soon as he left the mansion.

In desperation, he was very angry, thinking of the rebellion of the soldiers and the death of the net! But in the current situation, not to mention the deployment of troops, even the servants are unwilling to follow him... No matter how loyal people are, if they are told to die clearly, no one is usually willing to do it!

He is extremely resentful, extremely unwilling, and even if he dies, he will pull others back!

Finally thought of a way. Lu Chuncai hated the Fu family's treachery, abandoning his self-protection, and not even seeing his face; moreover, all the disasters happened because of Mrs. Fu... He planned to pull the Fu family to die together.

What he wanted most was to die with the emperor Guo Shao, anyway, the emperor was more precious than his life. But it can't be done, the emperor's guard is too dense, so he can only settle for the next best thing.

A few days later, Lu Chun was ready and came to Wei Wang's mansion to ask Wei Wang and Lu Shilang to see him, but no one paid any attention after waiting for a long time. It only attracted a group of local onlookers to point out and discuss.

Lu Chuncai was deeply aware of the coldness of the world, and became angry from embarrassment. He suddenly yelled loudly: "The Fu family wants to establish a country and proclaim themselves emperor, so they conspired with me to rebel..."

The crowd suddenly went into an uproar.

Sure enough, when he yelled like this, someone immediately came out to stop him, so that Lu Chuncai had something to say in the mansion. Now Lu Chun didn't go in instead, and just yelled at the crowd outside, suing the Fu family for treason. There are more and more people watching the excitement.

Not long after, the guards of Prince Wei's Mansion came out and pushed Lu Chuncai to the ground, covered his mouth with a cloth ball, and dragged him into the mansion by force.

At this moment, a civil servant clasped his fists and said to the people around him: "This thief jumps over the wall in a hurry to slander the King of Wei. The palace doesn't want to block his mouth..."

Everyone turned their heads to see that Lu Chuncai's mouth had been gagged.

The civil official continued: "We also invite people who are famous and virtuous in the Daming Mansion to come in together to be a witness." So he picked some people who looked wealthy in robes and invited them to enter the palace to watch.

When Fu Yanqing heard the news, she almost recovered from her illness! He was taken out from the ward in a daze, and Fu Zhaoxu and others also arrived at the main hall. Lu Duoxun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was also present, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Fu Yanqing was annoyed: "You rebel, you have defamed my king's name, do you have any evidence?"

As soon as the cloth ball on Lu Chuncai's mouth was removed, he said angrily, "The king of Wei invited me to join the rebellion. Because of mutual trust, he wanted to marry me with Mrs. Fu, and the two families will marry..."

Zhao Xu was also flushed with anger, pointed at Lu Chuncai and said, "Is there any evidence for this?"

Lu Chuncai said: "The person who arranged this matter was Mrs. Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the King of Wei. Mrs. Zhang sent her confidant maid to the Lu family to negotiate. If you don't believe me, ask her."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu said, "It's really bloody, go and call Madam to the palace to confront."

At this moment, a fat eunuch came forward, and everyone looked sideways. The eunuch said: "Your Majesty has an order."

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted, except for Fu Yanqing who was sitting, everyone else bowed facing the superior. The eunuch puffed up his chest, and said: "The officials say that King Wei is loyal and Zhao Xu is loyal and brave. I don't doubt the slightest bit. Perhaps the country is so powerful, and the daughter of King Wei is already a queen, so how can there be two hearts?"

Fu Yanqing and his son burst into tears with gratitude, and shouted in public: "The officials are wise and wise."

The eunuch walked up to Lu Duoxun and whispered a few words. Lu Duoxun, who had been silent all this time, said, "Lu Chuncai, you accuse the King of Wei of having two intentions, and even His Majesty doesn't believe it. It is useless to sue. You have publicly admitted that you have ulterior motives and intend to rebel! My officer has also found out that you have hidden armor, and you have always taken plunder, bullied men and women, and disregarded human life. The evidence is convincing. Can you be convicted?"

Lu Chuncai said: "I have done some evil things, but if my confession is to be accepted, then both the Lu family and the Fu family will conspire against each other!"

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said, "You villain who repays kindness with revenge!"

Lu Duoxun said directly: "Several crimes and punishment are enough for you to die. Take Lu Chuncai back to Beijing for execution. The Lu family will be exiled in Lingnan, and their family property will be confiscated!"

Lu Duoxun did not insist on whether Lu Chuncai rebelled because of insufficient evidence. But he still has other human lives and crimes in his hands. If one person is killed and his family members are exiled, he can already serve the public.

... As the only remaining king of a different surname, a foreign relative, and a powerful family member of the Han people, Fu Yanqing has great prestige and power, and is not afraid of anything, the only thing he is afraid of is the slightest suspicion of the emperor!

Fu Yanqing is simply cautious in this matter! After several dynasties, the Fu family's family status has not declined, and Fu Yanqing is not afraid of death, but most afraid of the family's defeat in his hands.

Immediately Bao, Zhang's maidservant, was quietly locked up by Fu Yanqing's confidants. Then their father and son questioned Zhang and Lu Chuncai about their relationship. Zhang was afraid that the servant would not be able to bear the torture to tell the truth, so she had to explain how she didn't like Jinzhan and how she agreed to Lu's family for a while because of her obsession with money.

The next day, the servant girl disappeared without a trace.

...Guo Shao has never been in charge of Lu Chuncai's affairs, but according to Lu Duoxun, this person is a powerful scourge, so he can be killed. The Lu family is so rich that it can also make up for the embarrassment that the treasury cannot make ends meet!

It doesn't matter whether Lu Chuncai really has the intention of rebellion, Lu Chuncai is just a pawn in a game of chess... Maybe he never thought of rebellion because his strength is too small, because usually people don't have desires for things that they can't even jump up.

After all, Lu Chuncai is far behind Li Yun and others.

After listening to Lu Duoxun's report in the palace, Guo Shao nodded in agreement. Thinking in his heart: This matter only needs to kill a person who should have died, and it will be over.

Ludoson said goodbye. At this time Wang Zhong came in and said, "Cao Tai wants to see the official family."

"Let him in." Guo Shao said immediately.

Guo Shao heard that Cao Tai was injured by Zhang's people, and he was also concerned... This eunuch is different in Guo Shao's heart. He is not only an eunuch, but also a co-conspirator during the "Tokyo Mutiny"!

But Cao Tai's identity is an eunuch after all, no matter how concerned Guo Shao is, it is inconvenient to go to "respect the corporal" in person as the emperor.

Guo Shao was also very upset that the Zhang family actually beat Cao Tai. But that woman is the daughter-in-law of King Wei after all, and Guo Shao is not willing to interfere in the internal affairs of the Fu family at will, so he is ready to forget it.

After a while, Cao Tai limped in with a wooden stick.

With a "pop", the wooden stick was thrown on the ground, and Cao Tai plopped down on the ground and cried bitterly.

Guo Shao was stunned, and turned to look at Wang Zhong. That Wang Zhong is a person who is very good at observing words and expressions, and his mind has been on Guo Shao all the time, without saying a word, he bent down and exited the room quietly.

Without outsiders, Guo Shao didn't care that Cao Tai was an eunuch, he stepped forward to help him up with his own hands: "Why are you crying?"

Cao Tai sobbed: "This servant thought I would never see the official family again! Woooooo..."

Guo Shao said angrily: "I thought you were a resourceful person, you should know that you will be able to return to the palace sooner or later."

Cao Taidao: "The servant also vaguely thinks so... But before the official came, the matter was too urgent! That Mrs. Zhang wanted to marry the eldest lady and the military general surnamed Lu. She hated the servant for obstructing her good deeds and wanted to get rid of the servant. If it wasn't for the protection of the eldest lady, the servant would not have the life to see the official again! Just behind the official's visit to the famous mansion, the lady Zhang wanted to poison the servant..."

"What?" Guo Shao frowned and said, "Mrs. Zhang was the one who got involved with Lu Chuncai's matter?"

Cao Tai said: "If she didn't care about that good thing, how could she put her slaves to death! Mrs. Zhang is the mastermind of this matter..."

Guo Shao took a few steps and asked, "Ms. Zhang wants to poison you? She is a lady of the palace, how could she act like this?"

Cao Tai said: "Mrs. Zhang bullies the eldest lady every day, speaks ill of her behind her back, and doesn't even give the lamp oil. This time the eldest lady has really suffered all the hardships of her life, and the days are like years." Cao Tai began to wipe away tears as he spoke.

Whether the Zhang family will poison Cao Tai, Guo Shao is not sure; Cao Tai should not dare to bully the emperor, but it is possible for him to add fuel to his suspicions... But when he heard that Fu Jinzhan was bullied, Guo Shao was furious! At this moment, he felt more pain than being stabbed.

With a cold face, Guo Shao swallowed his bad breath.

In the afternoon, Guo Shao went to see Fu Yanqing to express his condolences to Fu Yanqing's condition, and to show his kindness and trust.

After a heart-to-heart conversation, Guo Shao has already revealed that he has no suspicion of Fu Yanqing's thoughts at all. This is also a fact, if it is true that Fu Yanqing wants to keep the noble lintel of the Fu family, rebellion is indeed... unnecessary.

After finishing speaking, Guo Shao said calmly: "I heard that the family and everything are prosperous, and it is not a small matter if the internal affairs are not virtuous."

Both Fu Yanqing and Zhao Xu's faces changed color, and the entire upper room was completely silent.

Guo Shao's words, once spoken, cannot be taken lightly... because it is the emperor's words, not only golden words, but emperors generally don't talk nonsense!

As soon as Guo Shao left, Fu Zhaoxu became anxious: "The official's intention must be to blame the cheap nephew, and my son is not good at controlling the nephew!"

Fu Yanqing opened his cloudy eyes, shook his head slightly and said: "The Lu family is ignorant and wants to die, but marriage is not a woman's decision, and women have no role in this matter. I feel that I may want to test this old man."

Zhao Xu murmured, "To test whether father respects the emperor?"

Fu Yanqing nodded slightly.

Zhao Xu said: "The Zhang family is the mother's family of the son and other brothers and sisters, the son is afraid of losing harmony..."

Fu Yanqing said calmly: "She is not the only woman in the Zhang family. She will give a letter of divorce for her father to Mr. Zhang, and she will pick another lady for you."

Zhao Xu said again: "Our Fu family is a wealthy family. Back then we did not dare to treat our wives lightly, so we gave a large dowry gift. Now we want to divorce our wives, so the dowry gift will be wasted."

Fu Yanqing said: "Money is something outside the body."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu bowed and said, "The son obeys the father's will."

Fu Yanqing nodded in praise and said, "My father values ​​you the most, you are loyal, filial and respectful."

Zhaoxu bowed and said: "My son dare not, but our family emphasizes etiquette because of his father's good teaching... Shengwu (son of Fu Zhaoxu) is also a loyal and filial person, and he dare not slack off in the teaching of etiquette."...
