Jiang Yuan came out of Yu's mansion, and Lu Feili got the news.

"He came out alone?"

Lu Feili held the teacup and asked casually.

Lu Ming didn't understand why, Jiang Yuan went alone, so he naturally came out alone, otherwise who else could there be?

Lu Feili saw through what he thought at first glance, "I'm asking, is someone sending him off?"

Lu Ming was stunned.

"No."

Lu Feili smiled.

"I'm still a proud person."

Lu Ming looked confused.

How did the prince come to this conclusion?

Lu Feili asked again: "What's your expression?"

Lu Ming thought for a while, "The expression was as normal, but there was no clue."

Lu Feili put down the teacup, "It's a scheming person."

Lu Ming looked confused.

Why can't he understand a single word of what the prince said today?

Lu Feili seemed to be in a good mood, so he explained to him: "If the Yu family gets what they want, they should send him off with kindness. If he wants others but leaves alone, he must be unwilling to compromise, which angers Yu and his wife. He has never achieved his goal, but he has not been angry, and he must be confident. I think... he used the matter of Yu's stabbing Xiao Rui to coerce. But the matter is confidential, and the Xiao family must keep his mouth shut. He can guess from clues, which shows that this person is delicate and has a deep mind."

Lu Ming suddenly realized and said, "The prince can introduce the affairs of the Yu family today from the tiny traces, which is even more wise."

Lu Feili glanced at him.

Not bad, I know how to flatter.

"You go to Xinshui to find out the matter."

Lu Ming was stunned again, then clasped his fists.

"yes."

Ji Wan led the maid slowly, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Ming bowed and left, and the two maids also put down the tray with a wink and pushed it out of the corridor.

Lu Feili took her hand and sat down, and told her about the Yan family.

Ji Wan was stunned when she heard this, and her first reaction was, "Why do you like your cousin's marriage? Close relatives..." Then she realized that these words were not suitable for saying them, and it ended abruptly.

Lu Feili looked over in confusion, "What close relative?"

"nothing."

Ji Wan knew that modern medicine could not be explained in this era, so she didn't want to say much, "Don't you dislike the Jiang family? Why do you still help?"

Lu Feili smiled, "But I like you."

Ji Wan was stunned.

For the first time, he said he liked her so bluntly.

His face turned slightly red, Ji Wan glanced at him, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it's related."

Lu Feili said it was firm, "Jiang Yuan has no foundation in the capital. If he had broken up with the Yu family, he would be a Hanlin writer, what would he fight against the Yu family? In the capital, no one would help him. He did not give the Yu family face so much, but he also threatened him. You said, can the Yu family let him go? Can the Jiang family behind him be safe? Is his stepmother Qiu the sister of your third uncle's concubine, Aunt Qiu? Sisters are the same, Aunt Qiu will definitely not stand by. But your third uncle has limited responsibilities and he has no right to interfere in such matters as selling private salt. Moreover, he is better not to meddle in other people's business during his upward period. Your father is very powerful, but he is a military officer. Such things have not been implicated in himself, and he is not good at overstepping his authority. Besides,

When Yu's assassination of Xiao Rui, although the Xiao family made enemies with the Yu family, it was not made public for the sake of Yu's children. In other words, the two families were still in a relationship of in-laws. If the Yu family was directly defeated, all the efforts that had not been done for Xiao An's brother and sister would be wasted. The best way is to divide the second house of the Yu family. Didn't you say that the eldest and husband of the Yu family were still sensible? If he asked him to split the second house, what did the two people did had nothing to do with them. Anyway, it was not a serious crime that implicated the nine clans, and it was worth it to sacrifice the small and protect the eldest. But the family affairs were still your third uncle's Yue family. Even if you were brothers, it would not be appropriate for your father to intervene too much."

"Then you are my father's son-in-law, not an outsider." Ji Wan tilted her head, "Is that right? Besides, you are also a military officer and have no right to interfere in such corruption and frame-up."

Lu Feili was pleased by her previous words, "I only help find evidence. Haven't the Yan family already come to the capital? If there is evidence and Jiang Yuan can't save the Yan family, then he will have to be a Hanlin editor in his life."

"You are so sarcastic." Ji Wan laughed, "Hey, it's not right. After all, what does it have to do with me? I have explained to you that Jiang Yuanqing and I have nothing to do with..."

Lu Feili reached out and scraped her nose, and smiled and said, "The Xiao family cannot interfere, and your mother cannot ask the Zhou family, otherwise it will seem like he is a slander. Your mother and Mrs. Jiang have a good relationship, and she can help but stand by and watch. She must feel guilty. How can you, a filial daughter, not disturb her? I have to worry more so that you will not worry about others."

Ji Wan looked at him, "No, if you had made up your mind to help Jiang Yuan from the beginning, you would have acted long ago. Why wait until now? You deliberately sent someone to follow up and investigate. Do you... have other plans?"

Lu Feili looked at her with a smile.

"Of course there is another important reason," he said: "The East Palace has no right arm."

Ji Wan was stunned for a while before she reacted, and widened her eyes and said, "Are you cultivating a confidant for the prince?"

Lu Feili smiled but said nothing.

"The Zhou family's three generations were royalists, and they supported the orthodox as the successor. The prince did not lack supporters. Moreover, the second prince who rebelled had been given poison wine, and his followers were all disintegrated, and the prince had no threat. Besides..."

She lowered her voice, "The Emperor is in full swing, and you are gathering your confidants for the new dynasty. Isn't this equivalent to forming a clique? You are not afraid..."

She didn't say the rest.

The second prince was executed because of his gang and rebellion. The prince's status was stable. He had the title of the Eastern Palace and did not lack support from civil and military officials. Why should he choose another wise minister to assist him?

"It is because Your Majesty is in full swing that I have to prepare for the future."

"Why is this?"

Ji Wan didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the government, and Lu Feili would not take the initiative to talk about it. But she was curious and Lu Feili would also tell her one by one.

"Simply put, it means that one emperor will be the emperor and one minister."

Lu Feili said: "In fact, the most fundamental reason is Your Majesty's attitude towards war. Your Majesty is kind and has always ruled against him and did not fight. Therefore, the Northern Di repeatedly attacked him, and Your Majesty always stopped. The prince and I grew up together, and both had the ambition to pacify the world and unify the world. But for one day of your Majesty's reign, this ambition would not be realized. Your Majesty's political views naturally influenced the ministers in the court. Especially the civil officials, they were all veteran ministers. In the future, if the prince ascended the throne, if the war was launched, they would be jointly opposed by the civil officials. What rules did Xiao Gui and Cao Sui restrain the prince? These old ministers have lived in the temple for decades, so how could they understand the suffering of the border? They thought that the prosperous capital would lead to peace in the world."

A little sarcasm flashed in his eyes, "If it weren't for my great Yan country, my country was rich and the people were strong, and my foundation was deep, and my border garrison was rigorous in recent years, where did the powerful families in the capital come from? It is almost impossible to change the ideas of these old people. Since it is impossible, it would be better to replace them with a batch of fresh blood."

Ji Wan also learned history. She knew a little bit about the court planning, but it was more broad. She said that this was not her strength, and Lu Feili couldn't give advice, but she really didn't expect it.

"Oh, I understand." She suddenly realized, "most of those old ministers are from noble families, and their descendants will naturally inherit the ambitions of their ancestors when they enter the dynasty. Because this involves the interests and gains of the entire family, they cannot tolerate personal interests. Jiang Yuan, a civilian, is alone, and he does not need to have any burden. Moreover, he represents a poor student like him. If you help him, he will remember this kindness and naturally turn to the prince's school. But there are so many poor students, you choose him first because he has a close relationship with the Xiao family. But to be a confidant civil servant of the new king in the future, you must also have certain abilities and a character that can pass. So you send someone to pay attention to him to see if he has treacherous conspiracy with the Yu family, and how to deal with it, right?"

"clever."

Lu Feili smiled with a smile, "It's not that I'm prejudiced to poor students. They studied hard for ten years and entered the officialdom, and they were full of ambitions. But the prosperous and beautiful city had too many temptations and too many dangers. Most people could not resist and could easily go astray. Jiang Yuan, born in a businessman, was not moved by wealth and wealth. But the temptation of authority was even greater. For example, this time, he was inexplicably attracted by the Yu girl, and angered the Yu family because he had not compromised. The two men in the Yu family had not yet taken action, and a woman in the back home could take Yan Jiasuo to prison and behead him hundreds of miles away. In the final analysis, it was power."

"In the court, it is never possible to be clear and peaceful. There are always factions who compete with each other. In history, emperors used this as a balance technique to consolidate the imperial power, but the victims are always the people at the bottom. So you see, it is better to have power and power, and do whatever they want."

Lu Feili said this, with indifference, ridicule, helplessness, and boredom that penetrated deep into his bones.

"If Jiang Yuan easily compromised, gave up the marriage contract for the sake of his future, and put an innocent woman to death. Such a person with a loss of virtue will also be a disaster for his official career. Not only will I not help him, but I will also make him no longer likely to be promoted in his life."

Ji Wan didn't say anything.

She is a woman, and she cannot be in the scene before she entered the court. But Lu Feili's heart makes her admire and admire it from her heart.

Yes, worship.

Her husband, her man, is a hero with the heart of the world.

She is proud and proud.

"Awan." She said nothing for a long time, Lu Feili turned his head and said, "Do you think I am too cold and ruthless?"

Ji Wan shook her head.

"I tried every means to obstruct my third uncle... Well, I was talking about my third uncle. I didn't want him to become an official, but I felt that others were despicable. If they were an official, they would cause harm to the other side. Of course, they also had personal interests. What I thought was only one acre and three parts of the land, but what you thought was that the country and the world were righteous, how could it be cruel and ruthless? How could a ruthless person use the merits he had fought for with his blood and sweat to ask his wife for the honor of his wife? How could a ruthless person have a ruthless person have both the blame for his brothers?"

Lu Feili hugged her in his arms, "Are you flattering me?"

Ji Wan chuckled, "Truthful words."

Lu Feili leaned over and bit her lips gently.

Ji Wan tilted her head and her face turned slightly red.

“This is outside…”

Thinking of the absurd and lustful words between the two of them in the house during the day, she didn't say anything. But in broad daylight, although she was in her own yard, there were still maids walking around occasionally. Her personal maids were still standing not far away.

The next second, she was picked up by her whole body.

Ji Wan glared at him, "What are you doing?"

Lu Feili smiled and walked back, "As soon as his wife asked."

"What are you asking for? Don't falsely blame me..."

"It's not convenient outside, so..." Lu Feili's eyes were smiling like water, and the light was rippling. "It's much more convenient to close the door."

Ji Wan's face turned red.

"I don't mean that, you take it out of context..."

She also tried to argue, but the man seemed to be unhappy in the process, but in the blink of an eye, he entered the room, pressed her on the bed, lowered his head and blocked her lips.

Ji Wan blinked, closed her eyes in a bid to accept her fate, and wrapped her hands on his back.

The bed tent fell, and the spring was in full swing.
