Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 51 My Grandpa, the Prime Minister
  "Then let's make an agreement, sister-in-law. I'll knock on the door when the time comes, but don't let me get turned down."

On the cobblestone road, Lu Mingyuan waved goodbye to Yang Yingchan.

Yang Yingchan nodded lightly, turned around and left, her back still graceful and full of charm.

"The figure is indeed good. My eldest brother is married to a good wife, but he just doesn't know how to cherish her."

Seeing this, Lu Mingyuan shook his head slightly and embarked on the road to Bihuwan again. However, at this time, in the distance, many concubines were on the guardrail of the pavilion. They saw this scene and whispered something.

"This sixth prince actually dares to seduce Princess Zhao. He is really addicted to beauty and can't extricate himself."

"If the eldest prince hadn't been imprisoned now, he would definitely have no good fruits to eat."

"In my opinion, maybe it was Princess Zhao Yang Yingchan's slutty hooves who took the initiative!"

Lu Mingyuan's realm was rising rapidly. He could already hear subtle noises a hundred meters away, and naturally he could also hear the rumors, but his mood became more and more satisfied.

The goal in my heart has been achieved.

Because the more perfect the dude's character is, the safer he will be.

At this time, Ziyun on the side asked curiously: "Does His Highness like this?"

"What words, what words are these? I like words with meaning."

Lu Mingyuan was busy making excuses.

"What is connotation?"

"this one"

Lu Mingyuan thought for a while and gave the answer: "The connotation is probably that he has poetry and calligraphy in his heart. Anyway, it is the embodiment of a person's inner integrity."

"Is she a woman as talented and famous as Qi Muxue?"

"That's right, but it doesn't have to be knowledge. It can be kindness, benevolence, and loyalty."

Ziyun's eyes were filled with sadness: "That slave must have no meaning anymore."

Lu Mingyuan chuckled: "It doesn't matter whether you have connotation or not, but you must have connotation, and that's enough."

When Ziyun heard this, her face turned red and she lowered her head, not knowing what she thought of.

After a while, Lu Mingyuan arrived at Bihuwan.

The sun caresses everything in Bihuwan, and the golden brilliance shines on the lake, reflecting the gorgeous light, making people feel dazzling and gorgeous.

The four raised corners of the pavilion are supported by gray-white marble columns, which are calm and quiet in the gentle breeze. There is a hazy gauze hanging on the stone steps between the marble pillars. When the breeze blows, the gauze floats up. The silver gauze and the brilliance of the sun complement each other, showing a colorful display.

From the bushes not far away, a clear spring gurgled out, turning into a green belt that circled the palace and then flowed into the depths of the woods. The gleaming stars in the spring water make people feel surprised and beautiful, and everything is so peaceful and peaceful.

Lu Mingyuan thought to himself.

The scenery here is indeed pleasant and beautiful, like a large park, and it is reserved for one person. So is this the copper smell of wealth?

He liked it so much.

Lu Mingyuan lay between the hanging curtains of the pavilion, feeling extremely comfortable. It would be great if he could stay like this.

If we say that when he first crossed over, his goal was simply to live.

Then his current goal is to remain comfortable and be a free prince. It is best to cultivate to the ninth level of martial arts and live for hundreds of years.

However, Lu Mingyuan knew that there might be considerable resistance to this. After all, he was in the whirlpool of claiming heirs, and he needed to be careful all the time. If he was not careful, he would still be plotted against.

"It turns out that you are here, making it easy for grandpa to find you."

At this time, a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples, a tough face, and a scarlet robe appeared at the door of the garden. He was smiling and looked old, but he was still rosy and energetic. If a Qi practitioner observes this person using the Qi-gazing technique, he or she will find that there is a wisp of purple Qi on this person's face, which is a symbol of a smooth official career.

When Lu Mingyuan saw that it was his grandfather Wang Hefu, he quickly sat up and said, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

At the same time, he discovered a detail. Wang Hefu's official uniform was much newer than before. The gold fish bag with ordinary texture was changed into a red gold fish bag. Lu Mingyuan's face showed joy:
  "Grandpa, have you been promoted?"

Wang Hefu smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, that's right. He gained the trust of the Holy Emperor, joined the cabinet, and was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wenyuan."

"Congratulations to grandpa, congratulations to grandpa. I can also take advantage of my grandson."

Lu Mingyuan said with a smile.

His mother is a favored concubine, his grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty, and his father is the emperor. To some extent, is this a manifestation of extreme wealth?

Seeing Lu Mingyuan's reaction, Wang Hefu's eyes flashed with relief, but also with a hint of guilt. He sighed: "All of this is due to you, Yuan'er."

"Why did grandpa say this?"

Lu Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat and he asked in confusion.

Wang Hefu explained seriously: "If you hadn't refused to leave the palace that night, your grandfather would not have the prosperous official career he has today. More importantly, the new prime ministers chosen by the Holy Emperor all have one characteristic."

"What characteristics?"

"There is no taking sides."

Wang Hefu said in a faint tone: "Obviously after the palace coup, the Holy Emperor no longer appointed those officials who participated in the struggle, but appointed many officials from poor families. Grandpa was able to join the cabinet this time, to a large extent, because of you. In the cold palace." When his grandfather said this, Lu Mingyuan quickly understood.

The reason why Wang Hefu was selected to become prime minister was because he lost the possibility of inheriting the throne and did not participate in the struggle for the crown prince, so the emperor could safely appoint his grandfather.

Wherever there is a loss there is a gain, this is the truth.

Therefore, Wang Hefu felt that every step he took in the court made him feel more guilty towards Lu Mingyuan.

"Grandpa comes to you this time because the situation in the DPRK has changed again, but before that, grandpa wants to ask you a question first."

"We, grandfather and grandson, open the skylight and speak openly. Tell grandpa, do you have any thoughts of seizing the legitimate heir?"

Seeing Wang Hefu's serious gaze, Lu Mingyuan did not avoid it, but shook his head directly and said:
  "Grandpa, I really have no idea."

"It's not like you don't know that my grandson is really not interested in anything other than sleeping with girls. He is not qualified to be an emperor. Moreover, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother are all higher in seniority than me, so it's not his turn to be the emperor. I."

Wang Hefu was not surprised when he heard Lu Mingyuan's answer, and nodded slightly: "It's good to be content. Contentment is a rare and valuable quality. In this world, how many people end up dying because they are greedy and seek wealth in danger. There are countless examples like this. The eldest prince, Lu Changfeng, had a good hand, but he was beaten to pieces because he was too unsatisfied and too impatient."

"It doesn't matter if you are like this, you will be rich and prosperous all your life."

Wang Hefu's face showed a smile again.

"Don't worry, with your grandpa and your mother here, you don't have to worry about anything. The trial for the impact of the palace incident is gradually coming to an end. The heads of the Xie family and the Cui family have all been executed, the men have been sent to the frontier, and all the women in the family have been imprisoned. Jiaofangsi, my Wang family has also annexed a lot of several huge properties, so your wealth is definitely not a problem."

"It's a pity that a family's century-old legacy has come to an end."

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Hefu chuckled and shook his head: "So what if we have a century-old foundation? It's not just a matter of a word from the current emperor. With the remaining power of the emperor, he only picks the wrong ones. Even our Wang family has to live with our heads down and beat the first bird with a stick." , not everyone understands it.”

"In addition, the situation in the court has been reshuffled again. Your third brother and eighth brother have become the favorites in the eyes of all the officials."

Lu Mingyuan didn't care about the affairs of the court and didn't know what was happening outside during this period. He asked curiously: "The eighth brother also wants to compete for the throne? Why is this?"

Wang Hefu said meaningfully: "After the eldest prince fell, the rest of the party and the forces behind him did not choose to go to the second prince. The two families were mortal enemies after all. Instead, half of the Confucian temple officials headed by civil servants went to the eighth prince, and another Half of them are from military general families, mainly from the seven princes, and all the children of the second-rate families in the Great Yan Army have joined the third prince."

"Seven princes' mansions?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan murmured.

In the Dayan Army, in order to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy bravely without any worries, the military merit system followed the modification of the ancient "twenty-level military nobility system" and changed it to the "twenty-fifth military nobility system."

It is divided into twenty-five levels, and the top four titles are: General Sixiang, Marquis, King, and King of Heaven.

The King of Heaven only set it up when Dayan first founded the country and gave it to a few founding heroes. It was also set up when major changes occurred and the emperor was unable to make the decision and the army was leaderless to increase the sense of weight.

For example, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Dayan, General Yu was ordered to fight against the Northern Kingdom in times of crisis, turn the tide, and save Dayan. After that, he was awarded the title of Taiping Heavenly King. However, this title does not have a lifetime tenure, and it will be lost after death. .

Now Dayan, except for Yang Xiao, the king of Zhenbei, there are also seven generals who worship the princes. All seven of them are in the middle fifth level. The prince's mansion they form can be said to be the ceiling of power in Dayan's army.

I just didn't expect that Lu Guangyao's prestige in the military was so high that he could get the support of the seven princes.

"Grandpa heard that you also met Qi Muxue, the daughter of Qi Daru?"

Wang Hefu looked at Lu Mingyuan and asked expectantly.

Lu Mingyuan smiled sheepishly and said, "We met by accident."

Wang Hefu nodded and warned: "If we can build a good relationship, we should try our best to build a good relationship. We don't have to fight or grab, but we can't be unprepared."

"My grandson knows."

Lu Mingyuan agreed honestly.

"From Grandpa's point of view, Qi Xingyan will not be idle for long. After all, he is one of the few great scholars in Dayan. He has a high status and is a living sign. If the Holy Master wants to win over the students from all over the world, he must make good use of this sign. "

Lu Mingyuan praised from the bottom of his heart: "Grandpa thought so far."

Wang Hefu smiled and said: "This is nothing. If you are like my grandfather, you can have such a keen sense of smell after decades of ups and downs in officialdom."

When the conversation was almost over, Wang Hefu also stood up and planned to leave.

"Practice your martial arts well, eat and drink well, and if you need anything, ask your mother to tell me."

Lu Mingyuan nodded repeatedly.

"Farewell to Grandpa."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Mingyuan left Bihuwan with Ziyun.

On the way, I was attracted by a figure in white robes carrying a mahogany sword on his back. This man was handsome and handsome, very young, and had mysterious energy. He walked in the palace with light and vigorous steps, which was quite mysterious. Behind him, there was a faint aura of thunder rising. Like fire and thunder, it makes a low roaring sound, which is unpredictable.

Looking at his direction, he was walking towards Qianyuan Hall.

"Why is there a Taoist priest in the palace?"

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but think.
