Chapter 97; Opportunities and dangers

In the upper hall of Lu Yaoyao's mansion.

"Yaoyao, what you did today was a little too much."

"This Prime Minister is not someone to be trifled with. If you embarrass him like this today, I'm afraid you will do it in the future."

Wenxuan spoke with some worry, and there was a lot of disapproval in his words.

"Stupid, what do you mean by going too far? I think that's how it should be."

Wen Songtao glanced at Wenxuan and continued, "I have told you many times that you must be calm and courageous in your actions."

"Yao Yao did a good job today."

"Prime Minister Gao has had bad intentions from the moment he opened his mouth. If he bows his head in that situation, do you know how much trouble there will be in the future?"

"Yao Yao spread everything out directly. Not only did he counterattack Gao Yanming, but he also told His Majesty in advance that these sweet potatoes and potatoes are not unique to Dongzhou, nor are they unique to her, Lu Yaoyao, or the Lu family."

"As long as there is a will, anyone can find it and anyone can get it."

"This directly prevents some people from making a fuss about it in the future."

Wenxuan was so lectured by his father that he couldn't hold his head high.

Lu Yaoyao on the side quickly opened his mouth to smooth things over.

"Grandpa Wen, my uncle is doing it for my own good. He is worried that Prime Minister Gao will hate me because of this. He means well. Don't blame him."

Wen Songtao smiled.

"Uncle, I understand your intentions very well, and I am very grateful to you."

"But my Lu family has never done anything to his Gao family, but he wants to kill my Lu family."

"Gao Yanming is a wolf. If you don't offend him, the result will be the same."

Wenxuan's character is too stable, even very conservative. Many times he would rather suffer a loss than offend others.

Such a personality is indeed good in many cases.

But facing a wolf like Gao Yanming, that's stupid. The more careful you are and the more afraid you are of offending, the more arrogant the other party will be.

Besides, Lu Yaoyao is not a conservative person. If she doesn't give her things, anyone who dares to get involved must not be polite.

Wen Songtao nodded repeatedly. He admired Lu Yaoyao's way of doing things.

He liked this son but was helpless.

What I like about him is his ability and intelligence, but what's frustrating is that his character is too conservative.

Of course, being conservative is not entirely bad. The Wen family has already reached this point, and there is not much room for further improvement.

As the leader of the next generation, Wenxuan is capable, but with his conservative character, he may not be able to lead the Wen family to continue to be glorious.

But it is more than enough to ensure the safety of the Wen family.

"By the way, Yaoyao, you just said that you have something to discuss with us. I wonder what it is?"

"I received something today."

As she spoke, she took out the gift that King Jin gave her today.

Wen Songtao took it and looked at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he handed it to Wenxuan next to him.

"Yaoyao, where did you get this thing from?"

After Wenxuan finished reading, he raised his head and stared at Lu Yaoyao, his eyes full of inquiry.

"I also arranged people in Jiangdong. My grandfather and others were attacked and killed earlier, and the Lu family was suspected of treason. I felt something was wrong and asked people to pay closer attention."

Wenxuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Grandpa Wen, Uncle Wen, Gao Yanming has a huge appetite this time."

"Not only are they going to kill the Wen family, but they are also going to drag the Duke of Zhen into trouble. You have to take precautions early."

Hearing this, Wen Songtao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The outside world already knows about this matter and has made preparations. Don't worry."

As soon as the Lu family incident came out, Wen Songtao noticed it not long after and sent a letter to Jiangdong overnight, reminding his second son to be careful.

Yesterday, they received news from Jiangdong, and they were already well aware of Gao Yanming's actions there.

After all, he is someone who can stand up to the Gao family and the Zhen Guogong faction in the court.

His sense of smell and ability are naturally extraordinary.

"Now that Grandpa Wen has made arrangements, I can rest assured."

At this moment, Qiu Yu hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Miss, someone is coming from the palace."

Wenxuan was startled and had already stood up.

"It seems that Your Majesty has another reward."

"Yao Yao is really lucky."

The three of them walked outside.

"Hey, Wen Xiang and Mr. Wen are here too."

"His Majesty has entrusted the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes to our father and son. Xiang Jun is the person who knows best, so he came here to discuss it."

Li De smiled and nodded, but didn't think much about it.

"The Lord of Wanfu Township accepts the order."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and walked forward and knelt down.

This time there was no explicit edict, just an oral edict. When Li De finished delivering the edict, both Wen Songtao and Wenxuan were a little surprised.

Lu Yaoyao also looked surprised.

They never expected that the reward given by Emperor Hongwen would be so generous.

Not to mention those items, they are just some gold, silver, jewelry, silks and the like. The last time she was granted the title of Xiangjun, she was given a lot of them.

What shocked them the most was that His Majesty actually gave Lu Yaoyao a jade pendant to carry with him and allowed Lu Yaoyao to walk in the palace.

He even said clearly that he would be her backer.

Not to mention walking in the palace, some dignitaries with high status have this qualification.

But in the end, this backer is the most surprising. Having Emperor Hongwen as his backer is quite impressive in Dongzhou.

"Bless you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After accepting the reward, Lu Yaoyao quickly handed over a purse.

Li De accepted it with a smile.

"Your Majesty is very happy today. Your Majesty is a very lucky man."

"Before leaving, Your Majesty asked the old slave to tell the Lord that he would go to the palace more often if he has time in the future."

"sure."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

She understood what Li De meant. The four things she presented were all about potatoes and sweet potatoes today, but there was no mention of rice paper or movable printing.

She knew very well that Emperor Hongwen was holding back on this matter, and planned to seize the book, Paper Market, in one fell swoop.

It just so happened that getting the privilege of walking in the palace was definitely an unexpected surprise for her, and it would also be a lot easier for her big plans in the future.

After seeing Li De off, the three of them returned to the living room.

"Your Majesty wants to ask you about rice paper and printing."

"After the morning court today, His Majesty asked me to go to the imperial study alone. I heard that he planned to give birth secretly first. Perhaps he wanted to ask you to take the lead in doing this."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded: "Yao Yao understands, thank you Grandpa Wen for reminding me."

"It is a good thing to be favored by His Majesty, but it is also very dangerous. You must be mentally prepared."

Books and paper are all in the hands of the nobles. If you try to rob them, they will definitely cause the nobles to kill them.

Emperor Hongwen was willing to let Lu Yaoyao take the lead, which was very beneficial to Lu Yaoyao, and he could be regarded as one of his Majesty's subordinates.

With this relationship, the Lu family will be safe and will develop better in the future.

However, this benefit is not given in vain. Once these two things are revealed, the Lu family will also become a thorn in the side of the noble clan.

"Opportunities are often accompanied by dangers. This is already the case with the Lu family and the Gao family. It is impossible for people from the same gentry to become friends."

"The Lu family is already in a whirlpool and there is no way to avoid it."

"You just have to be more careful."
