Why does Madam think that the court wants to kill Marquis Lu? Gu Jiu asked.

Mrs. Lu Hou opened her mouth, This is fate! Supporting soldiers with self-respect has been a dead end since ancient times.

Gu Jiu nodded, Madam is right. It's inconvenient for me to talk too much about specific things with Madam. I just want to ask, if there is a chance to reunite with Marquis Lu in the northwest, and always be by Luhou's side, would Madam be willing? ?”

Mrs. Lu Hou showed obvious hesitation.

Ma'am not willing? Gu Jiu asked curiously.

Mrs. Luhou sighed, We have been separated for so many years, and I don't want to hide it from my mother. I really don't miss him as much as everyone thinks. For a court wife, the family is more important, and the grandchildren are more important.

Gu Jiu knew in his heart that no matter how deep the feelings are, they will be washed away by time. What's more, Lu Hou and his wife may not have a deep relationship.

She said to Madam Lu Hou, Madam can take the children to the northwest.

Mrs. Lu Hou looked shocked.

Ma'am, are you joking?

Gu Jiu shook his head, I can't joke about such a big matter.

Mrs. Luhou was very flustered, Doesn't the imperial court need the Pei family as a hostage?

Mrs. Lu Hou, who has always been prudent and dignified, said such outspoken and taboo words, which shows that she really panicked.

Gu Jiu winked at the palace servants.

The palace servants stepped forward and exchanged a cup of tea with just the right temperature for Mrs. Luhou.

Drink a cup of tea first, ma'am, to suppress the shock.

Mrs. Lu Hou picked up the teacup, pouring the tea into her mouth without thinking about face.

She needed something to calm her flustered mood.

Gu Jiu seized the time and said loudly, Your Majesty doesn't need the Pei family as hostages.

How can it not be necessary. This is a tradition since ancient times. Generals lead troops abroad, and their wives, children and family members should stay in the capital as hostages. Mrs. Lu Hou was still in a state of shock.

If a tradition that has been maintained for thousands of years is suddenly broken, something big must happen.

Mrs. Lu Hou is not afraid of death, she is afraid of dying unclearly, afraid that she will not be able to protect her grandchildren.

Gu Jiu thought about it for a while,

Asked: What kind of person does Madam think Lu Hou is? The Pei family stayed in Beijing as a hostage, can they really contain Lu Hou and let him throw a mouse?

Mrs. Lu Hou opened her mouth speechless, and smiled helplessly.

She shook her head and said honestly: When necessary, he can abandon his wife, children, family, and the Pei family. Only he would not abandon the power in his hand.

In this way, it is useless for the Pei family to stay in the capital as a hostage for Lu Hou who is determined to do something big.

Not only can't he be restrained, but it saves him the time to deal with household chores.

Mrs. Luhou felt sad, Is the Pei family useless?

So the court wants to abandon the Pei family, right?

Gu Jiu didn't want to say more: After Madam returns, you can start packing your luggage. Your eldest daughter-in-law will also go to the northwest with you.

Mrs. Lu Hou's lips trembled, Can I ask your mother to take back her life?

Is Madam reluctant to part with the flamboyant world in the capital?

That's not the case! Going to the northwest, the water and the soil are unacceptable, and the minister's wife may not have much time to live. It's nothing else, but worry about a few children.

Gu Jiu solemnly said: Your grandchildren can be taken away as much as you like, and I will never stop you.

Mrs. Lu Hou looked up at Gu Jiu, Empress, my wife dares to ask, will he die?

No! Gu Jiu's answer was forceful.

Mrs. Luhou laughed, a forced smile.

So he won't die! She seemed to be full of regret.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows.

Madam, do you want Marquis Lu to die?

Mrs. Luhou laughed at herself, If he dies, the minister's wife can save a few days and don't have to worry about it every day.

I can almost understand Madam's thoughts, but Lu Hou can't die yet.

Your Majesty, don't you think that the minister's wife's thoughts are outrageous?

Husbands and wives all over the world have more or less wished for each other's death. It's nothing strange.

Mrs. Lu Hou was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, Your Majesty is really different.

Gu Jiu also laughed and said, Many of my thoughts are deviant.

My wife has seen it. Thank you Your Majesty and Your Majesty for saving his life. My wife will obey my mother's order and go to the northwest to reunite with him.

When madam leaves Beijing, it is inconvenient for me to see you off. Here, I wish madam a smooth journey in advance.

Thank you, ma'am! My wife is leaving!

...

Pei Man had always been worried about the situation of her natal family. After hearing the news, she hurriedly took a carriage to the Luhou Mansion.

Mother, what did the empress say?

Look at the way you're sweating profusely. The Empress only chatted with me about family matters, and didn't mention anything else.

Really? Pei Man couldn't believe it.

Mrs. Lu Hou smiled and said, Do you think I seem to have something to do?

Pei Man's heart was still weak, and the heart she raised couldn't be realized, Your Majesty asked mother to come to the palace on purpose, and she was just chatting about family affairs?

She is the empress, she can do whatever she wants without reason.

But daughter...

Come on. Has Gu Ting finished the homework assigned by the Empress?

No more. He is busy eating banquets every day, and he is already drunk when he comes home. Let alone doing homework, he can't even pick up the pen.

Mrs. Lu Hou easily changed the subject and talked about Gu Ting.

She didn't talk much, mainly because Pei Man was chattering non-stop.

Mrs. Lu Hou smiled all over her face, with tears in her eyes.

...

Mr. Pei Meng, Mr. Dou, took a dozen accountants, fought for twenty days in a row, and pulled out a long list of supplies.

Various see-saw negotiations between the two parties, from the type of material, quantity, quality, scale, transportation route, transportation time...

As small as a needle or a foot of cloth, we must fight hard without giving up an inch.

You come and go, bargaining, and people who don't know it think it's a vegetable market.

More than 200 kinds of materials, all aspects, finally negotiated and reached a preliminary agreement.

After the day of the conversation, both parties were exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

Pei Meng and Mr. Dou are eager to leave the villa.

Queen Gu is really cunning.

There is only one road in and out of the villa, and it is a double-track road.

In order to trap them in the villa and cut off contact with the outside world, it took great pains.

Qian Fu, who disappeared for a while, reappeared in front of the two of them.

Mr. Dou is in a hurry to leave after learning about Uncle, and our family will not force the two of you. The double-track carriage is ready, this way please.

This time it's refreshing!

Pei Meng walked in the front with an angry look on his face.

Qian Fu pinched his nose and wanted to say: Uncle, don't waste your time, your Madam Mang scheme has already been seen through.

Mr. Dou was very cheerful, and even devoted himself to doing the homework with Qian Fula.

Qian Fu laughed, but didn't tell the truth.

Sit in a double-track carriage and gallop all the way.

Trapped in a villa where birds don't shit and chickens don't lay eggs for many days, returning to the bustling capital is like a new life.

...

During this period of time, Pei Meng did not show up, and the courtiers made various speculations in private.

The most popular theory is that Pei Meng has been secretly imprisoned by His Majesty.

Many people have made up their minds that if Pei Meng still does not show up in ten days, they will ask His Majesty in the morning.

Pei Meng deserved to die, both the Pei family and his son deserved to die.

However, after all, he is a dignified uncle, even if he wants to kill him, he should be punished in a serious way, not in secret.

The imperial court should behave in an upright manner, and must not learn from the little thief that night, sneaking around, which will damage the dignity of the imperial court.

The courtiers who were sure that Pei Meng was dead suddenly saw Pei Meng appearing in the court hall, and they were all shocked.

not dead?

You are the one to die, and your whole family deserves to die!

Pei Meng's eyes were murderous, his aura was domineering, and he looked like he wanted to kill the whole family.

Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few days, but his demeanor is still the same?

You want to say that Uncle Ben is not dead, it's definitely a piece of shit luck, isn't it?

Uncle really knows how to joke.

Uncle Ben only knows how to kill people, he doesn't know how to make jokes.

What the hell, I can't talk anymore today.

Where does Uncle go to enjoy himself in these days? There are still some people who are not willing to give up and have to try it out.

Walking around outside the city, I gained a lot.

Oh? I don't know where it is outside the city? Can you tell me a thing or two, and let me see and see.

Pei Meng smiled coldly, Who are you? Does Uncle Ben know you?

What a rebellious Pei Meng who deserves to be hacked into pieces.

Why didn't His Majesty execute him and let him go to the morning court?

The civil servants were furious one by one.

The generals are not much better either.

In terms of military merits and qualifications, except for a few old princes, the other generals, Xungui, can only carry shoes against Pei Meng.

Pei Meng yelled at them with confidence and no pressure.

Why did Pei Meng offend the entire court? Is he crazy?

In fact, he is also helpless.

The Pei family can't poach the corner of the court because they eat the food of the court.

Destined to crack the soil and become the king, he can recruit people from all walks of life, except those who cannot touch the court and government.

Of course, Pei Meng's move also had an element of drama, and it was for Liu Zhao to watch.

Until the day when the earth is broken and the king is crowned, everything is full of variables.

Being an uncle who personally hates ghosts in the court is definitely more reassuring to the emperor than an uncle who is a fan of thousands of people.

Singing and drinking, all the officials were silent.

The emperor arrives and the morning begins.

Uncharacteristically, Liu Zhao openly boasted of the achievements of Marquis Lu and Pei Meng in front of civil and military officials in the early court. He even asked the Hanlin Academy to make a fu for the Northwest Army.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Are you threatened by Pei Meng?

If yes, just blink your eyes, and this humble official will definitely go to the death to crusade against Pei Meng, a rebellious official and traitor.

The civil and military officials were heartbroken and shocked, as if Liu Zhao had been possessed by rebellious officials and thieves.

Liu Zhao had no expression on his face, and calmly finished talking about boasting about Lu Hou and his son.

Pei Meng was very dissatisfied with the reaction of the courtiers.

Their father and son made great military exploits, His Majesty should boast, is that wrong?

Each one has a look of eating shi, what do they mean?

He secretly made up his mind that Mr. Dou had to keep an eye on the nerds in the Imperial Academy to write a poem for the Northwest Army and publish it in newspapers.

Let the world know the great achievements of the Northwest Army!

At the end of the early court, the courtiers glared at Pei Meng with contempt and disgust.

Anyone who passed by Pei Meng had to shout to show their attitude.

Hmph! The thieves are going to be rampant!

I will never give in!

brazen!

Let your mother's shit go!

Pei Meng's eyes were red with anger, and his chest was about to explode.

on purpose!

Liu Zhao must have done it on purpose.
