After returning home, Li Jinglan and Lu Bozhou talked about the marriage of the Wang sisters.

"I will pay attention to which family's children have a better reputation." Lu Bozhou also regarded this matter as a major event.

"If Ruoshui and Ruolan start discussing marriage, then we have to take them out for a walk."

Li Jinglan thought for a while and said, "They have lived in my uncle's house for a while. Why not invite my uncle and his sister to come to our house to play? Do you think we should invite Miss He?"

When Li Jinglan mentioned He Chang, Lu Bozhou thought for a moment, "Everyone says He Xuezheng is an honest man, and he doesn't talk much. But I haven't had any specific contact with him, so I'm not sure."

When Lu Bozhou said this, Li Jinglan already understood what he meant.

"Then I'll send a message to Miss He as well." She said with a smile.

Lu Bozhou nodded, then held Li Jinglan on his lap and whispered in her ear: "The soldier who served as your clothes was saved by General Xu."

"Where did you know this news?" Li Jinglan asked hurriedly.

Lu Bozhou said, "Many people in Wenyuan Pavilion are discussing that General Xu had a dispute with His Majesty to protect this little soldier. His Majesty was so angry that he even took away General Xu's title of General Xuanwei. It should be no secret."

Li Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the soldier was saved.

The soldier was implicated because of her.

But she and Lu Bozhou had no way to plead with the emperor. They could hardly protect themselves, so how could they dare to plead with the emperor?

Fortunately, Xu Jingchen took action.

"Your Majesty has taken back the tiger talisman of the Black Iron Army. Many officials want to know who the tiger talisman will be given to in the end. There has been a lot of discussion about the tiger talisman recently." Lu Bozhou's voice lowered.

Li Jinglan thought about it for a while and expressed her guess:

"Pay attention to the grasslands, the Dongyi, and the south to see if there are any changes in the positions of the generals or if the garrisons have moved."

"If His Majesty keeps holding on to the tiger talisman, then he is preparing to take you into the palace."

After hearing this, Lu Bozhou's heart was struck by a heavy hammer. He was stunned for a moment, "Are you so sure that I must be a member of the royal family? His Majesty will definitely take me into the palace?"

"It's not me who is sure, but Your Majesty is very sure." Li Jinglan frowned.

The emperor wanted Lu Bozhou to enter the Eastern Palace, so he had to not only suppress the civil officials in the court, but also suppress the nobles and generals who held military power.

It is very likely that the emperor will announce Lu Bozhou's identity at the same time as Lord Zhao retires and returns home.

At that time, when there was a vacancy in the cabinet, everyone's attention would be attracted to the vacancy, and many high-ranking officials in the court would compete for the cabinet vacancy and for the position of prime minister.

The firepower aimed at Lu Bozhou will be reduced.

The Black Iron Army is used to deal with military generals who hold military power and provincial princes.

They were stationed at the South Gate, only a hundred miles away from the capital.

If something happens in the capital, I can be there in an instant.

Moreover, the emperor replaced the governor of the Nine Gates and the gatekeeper of the South Gate.

It was obvious what the emperor wanted to do.

I don’t know what the attitudes of Duke Xu and Duke Wei are.

These two dukes have great prestige in the army.

She also married the King of Jin.

The emperor took away the tiger talisman to prevent the Prince of Jin and Duke Xu and Duke Wei from joining forces.

After listening to Li Jinglan's guess, Lu Bozhou was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I just need to do what I can do now, and keep my original intention, so that I can achieve long-term success."

Hearing this, Li Jinglan felt relieved: "Just do what you should do, and don't listen to anyone's private discussions. Most of them are traps that they want you to hear."

Lu Bozhou thought about what he had heard about the Minister of Rites.

Now thinking back, it was indeed the emperor who deliberately let him hear it.

He thought of another thing: "Should we train some people?"

Li Jinglan shook her head: "Do you think we can keep our training a secret from the side courtyard? If His Majesty knew that we were raising assassins privately, our lives would be in danger."

Lu Bozhou put aside his thoughts and said, "Tomorrow I will impeach the Minister of Rites for intending to kidnap you and drag Lord Li into the water."

Once Lord Li gets involved, several other cabinet ministers will find excuses to question him and will attack him fiercely together.

Who made Li Ge Lao the popular candidate for the prime minister now?

As for whether the Minister of Rites kidnapped Li Jinglan?

Who cares about him.

Everyone knew where Li Jinglan was being held during the days she was missing, but everyone pretended not to know.

Sometimes, things in the world are just so fucked up.

The next day, Lu Bozhou impeached the Minister of Rites at the court meeting.

When Lu Bozhou angrily said that he suspected that it was the Minister of Rites who kidnapped Li Jinglan, the huge court fell silent for a moment.

You can hear the needle drop.

I thought this matter was over, but the Minister of Rites who just came to work today is really screwed.

He hurriedly stepped out of the class and knelt down: "This is a false accusation. I have never kidnapped anyone."

Lu Bozhou looked at the Minister of Rites coldly: "When I came back to pick him up, you were the only one waiting at the gate of the Imperial City. I once heard a rumor that the criminal would return to the scene of the crime."

"If you have nothing to do with this matter, why did the first thing you asked me when you saw me was where I brought the person back from?" Lu Bozhou asked.

"You don't care whether my wife is safe, but you only care about where I found her. How dare you say that you are fine?"

This is a terrible problem!

The Minister of Rites was speechless.

I was really just there to watch the fun that day and to ridicule Lu Bozhou.

After all, not every daughter-in-law has been kidnapped like Li Jinglan.

As a result, the shit got on my body and I couldn't get rid of it.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, taking in all the expressions below. He hoped that a fight would break out in the court, so he helped Lu Bozhou:

"Whether it is a false accusation or not, I don't know! Since there is an impeachment, go home and write a self-defense memorial."

The Minister of Rites was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he could only hold up his tablet and said, "I obey your order."

An official stepped forward and began to speak: "I impeach the Minister of Rites. He was originally a lackey of Lord Zhao. After investigation, I found that he often went in and out of Lord Li's mansion these days."

The official pointed at the Minister of Rites and said, "Lu Xiuzhuan called you a slave of three surnames. Was he wrong?"

Lord Li held the tablet in his hand and cursed in his heart.

Xiangzhuang's sword dance is intended for Peigong.

"I impeach Yin Zhihai..."

"I impeach Lord Wang..."

"I impeach Lord Xu..."

No one impeached Lord Zhao who was about to retire and return home.

Seeing that the officials below are impeaching me, I will impeach you.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne curled his lips slightly.

Then, Duke Xu took advantage of the opportunity to impeach: "I impeach the Office of Inspection for illegally arresting innocent people."

Duke Xu unfolded the memorial and read it word by word: "It was found that Lu Xuande's family from Nanli County suddenly disappeared a month ago. After investigation, it was found that they were transported away in a coffin by a family surnamed Cui in the alley."

"Lu Xuande's family has been imprisoned in the prison of the Inspection Office until now. I would like to ask the Inspection Office, isn't the Office only responsible for supervising all officials? When did it gain the power to arrest civilians?"

"I would like to ask the Office of Investigation again, why did they use the Cui family to transport Lu Xuande's family away? Is there any hidden reason?"

Duke Xu sneered: "I suddenly remembered something. Lu Xuande and Lu Xiuzhuan have a lot of connections. Could it be that the Investigation Office is investigating Lu Xiuzhuan?"

"I do have some gossip that I can provide to the Office of Investigation: for example, Lu Xiuzhuan knew the questions for the provincial examination in advance. For example, Lu Xiuzhuan's wife gave birth to a daughter before they got married."

The Inspectorate was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.

The King of Zhao, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly felt the fire burning on him. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Duke Xu, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I was the one who came up with the questions for the provincial examination. I came up with them on the spur of the moment. I didn't even know the content of the questions before I entered the examination room. How did Lu Xiuzhuan know them?"

"As for this daughter, how can such a private matter be discussed in the court?" Prince Zhao kicked the ball to Duke Xu again.

As this concerns Li Jinglan's reputation, Lu Bozhou stepped forward and said, "After my wife was rescued, she thanked His Majesty. The maids in the palace have examined her virginity. How could she have a child? Who is spreading rumors?"

Duke Xu opened the memorial and took a look at it. The corner of his mouth twitched: "Well, your wife's sister."

Lu Bozhou: ...

Xia Jifang and Li Fengxian, these two idiots, came to Beijing? And they were tricked?

Lu Bozhou laughed: "Duke Xu seems to believe in this legend."

Duke Xu slammed the memorial shut with a snap and said with an expression that said, "I support you completely." "I don't believe it!"

You thousand-year-old fox, are you biting the Investigation Office and me at the same time?

Lu Bozhou cursed in his heart.

Everyone in the Investigation Office who discovered the fire had shifted breathed a sigh of relief.

Duke Xu took out a new memorial: "I continue to impeach the Office of Investigation..."

——*There is more today, so I’m going to write now

Just tell me, can Xia Jifang last even one day in such a court?
