When Guo Zhi saw this, he hurriedly leaned over to kowtow his thanks. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Yes, yes, yes...I will definitely let you see my resignation letter tomorrow! I resign in favor of those with talents... I resign in favor of those with talents! Thank you very much."

Your Majesty, I will not hold you accountable! Thank you very much, Brother Fu, for not holding me accountable!"

After that, he rolled around on the ground and almost forgot to sit in the sedan. He left the coachman and ran back to his house. The coachman chased him for a long time before he caught up with his son-in-law.

So embarrassed...

King Lu invited people into the palace.

"Is the injury on Fu Shiren's hand okay? He Zhe, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

King Lu's deep eyes showed a hint of concern that was hard to distinguish between true and false, making people wonder what his intentions were for a moment.

"yes."

The father-in-law who had just reprimanded Guo Zhi loudly was originally named He Zhe. He bowed and left, and soon the imperial doctor was called.

The imperial doctor bowed respectfully to King Lu with a somewhat frightened look, and also wanted to bow to Fu Zhiyan. He was really well educated.

"You're tired."

Fu Zhiyan did not refuse. Apart from the fact that it really hurt, there were several reasons. First, although Prince Lu was an idle prince, he still had to care about the dignity of the royal family. If he refused the arrangement of Prince Lu, he would be openly slapping Prince Lu in the face;

Secondly, refusing would make him appear to be very devoid of official etiquette, making him look petty and less like a man; thirdly, there is no need for the King of Lu to attack Fu Zhiyan here.

Yes, but Fu Zhiyan could see his ambition. When treating Fu Zhiyan, he should accept him as his subordinate if he can. There is absolutely no reason to harm him.

"Your Majesty, Fu Shiren's right wrist bone is slightly broken. Fortunately, it's nothing serious. Your Majesty, I made a little preparation and can reconnect it with a slight twist. However, in the future, my right wrist must be protected from cold and do not exert too much force, otherwise it will become red, swollen and painful.

The old minister will prescribe a few more prescriptions, and the official will follow this list in the future, so there is no need to worry."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Fu Zhiyan expressed his gratitude, and the imperial doctor nodded slightly and said "I don't dare take it". After saying that, he looked at King Lu with a little fear, his eyes wandering for a long time before he neatly connected Fu Zhiyan's bones.

"What are you afraid of?"

Fu Zhiyan asked strangely when he saw this.

"No...it's nothing. My eyes have been a little dry these days. It seems I need to eat more carrots fried in lard."

Although Fu Zhiyan was a little suspicious, he remembered the purpose of his trip and it was inconvenient to ask about such trivial matters, so he left it alone.

"Here is the list. If you feel pain in the future, just take this medicine."

Fu Zhiyan nodded and accepted the prescription.

The cold moon is like a ruthless iron scimitar.

"I see that you are so sincere and courageous and knowledgeable. I wonder who you are who can ask you to go through so much trouble?"

The king of Lu was sitting in the high hall. The furnishings in the house were simple but everything was solemn and luxurious. When talking to Fu Zhiyan, his voice was calm, like a person with a monotonous expression. He smiled naturally and officially like water that should flow, although it could not be said that

Something is wrong, but it just feels weird.

For this reason, Fu Zhiyan put a lot of thought into his answer. He hesitated for only a moment, then looked horrified and said: "I come to you not for anyone else, but for the sake of the saint and the saint."

You and all the royal relatives and relatives of the country and the country of famous families."

King Lu made a look of surprise, then pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was amused, and said: "What happened that could threaten the country, the country, the country, the country, the country and the country of the emperor brother and all our ministers?"

Fu Zhiyan kowtowed heavily on the ground and said: "Someone planted gunpowder in the Hehu paddock. I have just escaped from it. However, the real culprit is nowhere to be found, so someone is causing wanton chaos and arresting officials and their families at will. I hope His Highness, Prince Lu, will make the decision."

He must not be able to name the person he wants to protect. He is the emperor's secret agent in the Gu family. State affairs should be given priority in everything. If His Majesty knew that his actions were all for Gu Yisheng, he would definitely be more wary of the Gu family.

, and from now on there is nothing I can do to change the situation.

King Lu suddenly realized what he was doing. He slapped the table and became furious. He pointed at a female official next to him who was serving tea and said, "Xiu Bei, you are not doing your job properly. You didn't come to report such a big thing. Go down and receive the punishment yourself."

The maid named "Xiu Bei" bowed and said "here", but she didn't seem to be very scared and retreated with the other girls around King Lu.

"Fu Shiren, there are only you and me in the room. I can help you, but I want to ask a few questions first, and you must answer them truthfully."

The king of Lu looked fierce and could not refuse.

Fu Zhiyan nodded obediently.

"First, you are the emperor's secret agent in the Gu family. Why did you protect him? You could have ignored this matter. By eliminating the possible risk to the Gu family, His Majesty will be able to sit back and relax from now on, and you will be able to go smoothly.

To be a high-ranking official, you no longer have to suffer and be insulted and trampled on by others. Isn't it a good thing to just be a good official who can realize your ambition?"

King Lu's eyes flashed with prying eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

At this moment, I cannot say that I am doing it for interests, nor can I blindly emphasize that the Gu family is innocent, nor can I mention Gu Yisheng. If saying that it is for His Majesty is not convincing to King Lu, then... what should I say?

Woolen cloth?

"Whether the Gu family is innocent or not, it doesn't matter to you, Your Majesty, or Dayao as a whole. It doesn't matter how the lives of the Gu family are dealt with. What matters is - who is touching the Gu family? The one who is touching the Gu family.

What do people want to do? Also, can you and Your Majesty seize this opportunity to gain a further strategic advantage?"

Yes, what matters is what kind of impact and benefits this kind of help will have on them.

"oh?"

King Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing curiosity about Fu Zhiyan's words, and stretched out his hand to signal him to continue speaking.

"Just now, Zhan Huang's army made a sudden move. Who do you think is behind this?"

Although Fu Zhiyan also doubted the sanity of King Gu, the most important thing at the moment was to help Gu Yisheng get out of trouble.

After hearing this, King Lu laughed: "As expected of being the number one scholar, he is very capable. Who else could be behind the scenes? Of course it is my good brother King Lu. He is plotting against his brother and the country. This is unfaithful and unfilial...

...But why should I be involved in his affairs? With the ability of the emperor brother, there is no way that the loss of a Gu family will disrupt the national affairs of the country. Regarding this, please give me an explanation."

With his status, even if King Gu executes the Gu family, he will have a safe life as an idle prince after the death of the current emperor. Why should he participate?

unless……

"Please look at this." Fu Zhiyan took out a cloth bag with a snake-like pattern. "Before the accident in the paddock, I participated in many riding and shooting trainings on the racecourse. One day, I picked this up on the racecourse."

Fu Zhiyan presented it with both hands, and Prince Lu picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"This is... the totem of the Xiliang royal family?"

Fu Zhiyan nodded and continued: "I'm afraid it won't be easy this time. It may be that His Highness King Gu wants to launch a mutiny with the Xiliang people, and does not intend to wait until the saint dies."
