Chapter 297 The Emperor's Big Trouble
"Your Majesty, I accept your orders."
The spread of imperial items to the public has not yet produced any results.
The palace examination that had been delayed for a long time finally had a result.
Xie Ruofan was the second and He Xingyi was the third.
Lu Zhaolin was ranked number one in the imperial examination.
Emperor Yuanwu granted mansions to each of the three people.
The threshold of the General's Mansion was almost broken down.
Lu Zhaolin declined all gifts from everyone and had no plans to host a banquet for anyone.
"Father, I hope you can understand my son's reasons. Although my sister lives deep in the palace and is favored, her safety in the palace is affected by her mother's words and deeds."
"The prosperity of her mother's family is her best support in the palace."
"But if someone makes a big fuss about this, I'm afraid it will implicate my sister."
"I don't like these vulgar things. My fate is..."
Lu Zhaolin paused here.
He wanted to say that his life was saved by Mu Qianqian, but he swallowed the words back into his stomach.
some things.
Even for his father and mother, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
"My son's life was saved. I don't want anything else now. I just want my sister to be safe in the palace and my family to be safe. I don't ask for anything else." Lu Zhaolin said sincerely.
"It's good that you think this way." General Lu said with relief: "But, as an official in the court, you still have to do some things on the stage."
"Thank you for your advice, father. I understand now." Lu Zhaolin said.
During the war.
Each general is a hero who kills the enemy.
But once the peaceful and prosperous times come.
These generals who have made great military achievements will become a serious threat to the emperor.
Holding military power, he was even more worried that they would rebel.
The last time Concubine Shu went home to visit her parents, she had already reminded him about this matter.
It would be useless even if he focused more.
If Emperor Yuanwu becomes suspicious, I'm afraid he will be guilty of exterminating all nine generations of his clan.
If the four children of Concubine Shu are implicated by then, it would be more trouble than gain.
now.
They not only have to protect themselves, but also protect Concubine Shu and her four children.
"Greetings, General Lu. This must be our number one scholar. He is truly a handsome man."
Followed by a female voice.
Lu Zhaolin's footsteps suddenly stopped.
The servant from the general's mansion hurriedly chased in from outside.
"General, I have just told her to pass the message, but she just..." Before the servant could finish his words, the general waved his hand at him, motioning him to go out.
"This is..." General Lu stood up from the stool.
"I didn't expect that the general was here too." The woman felt a little embarrassed.
Hearing the voice, Madam Lu came out of the room: "Isn't this the Prime Minister's wife? Why are you here at this hour?"
"Madam Lu, I heard that your eldest son won the top spot in the imperial examination. I came here specially to congratulate you two. You really educate your children well." The Prime Minister's wife smiled brightly.
"Madam Prime Minister, you are so polite. Please take a seat." Madam Lu invited the Prime Minister's wife to sit down.
The general bowed to the two of them and said, "Then you guys chat. I have official business to attend to. Excuse me."
"General Lu, you are busy." The Prime Minister's wife returned the greeting.
Mrs. Lu poured her a cup of tea.
"Since I'm here today, I won't beat around the bush." The Prime Minister's wife said a little embarrassedly: "You also know that our Wanying is not young anymore."
Although the Prime Minister's wife did not say it explicitly, Mrs. Lu probably guessed his intention.
