After Wang Wu finished discussing with Lin Yanchao, he returned from his home as soon as possible. According to Wang Xijue's intention, he had to report back immediately if there was any bad result.

As the richest family in Taicang, the Wang family's family rules are strict. Wang Wu has been very strict since he was a child. Compared with You Qi and Shen Jiu, who suddenly became a steward, he rarely relies on the power of his master outside, and is more loyal, and he considers everything for Wang Xijue.

Wang Wu was in a hurry before, but after getting off the carriage, he looked at the two big stone lions in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and for some reason he was stunned for a long time. If it was true as Lin Yanchao said, then the Taicang Wang family would probably fall into it in the future, and even... there would be a worse ending.

Wang Wu couldn't bear to think anymore, and after asking his side, he learned that Wang Xijue had just entered the palace. Wang Wu was waiting, so he immediately wanted to prepare a horse.

Seeing that Wang Wu had no time to rest, he rushed to the palace without stopping and said to each other: "After coming to Beijing, the steward has really devoted himself to the affairs of the court!"

Everyone's faces were full of envy as they said this.

Wang Wu smiled bitterly when he heard this. As servants of the Wang family, these people, as servants of the Wang family, rose in the future after their master was promoted to prime minister, but they did not know the disaster that they could not avoid.

Wang Wu just smiled reluctantly, then whipped away, and the servants behind him said in unison: "Great send to the butler!"

After checking the waist card at the palace gate and palace, Wang Wu went to Wenyuan Pavilion and a young minister on duty came up to greet him.

This person's surname is Lu, and he is the confidential secretary of Wang Xijue. His father was Wang Xijue's old friend for many years, and in the same year during the provincial examination, so this time he was selected by Wang Xijue as his son of Nian.

Although Lu Zhongshu was young, he was very smart and capable and said as soon as he saw Wang Wu: "Mr. Niantang is here, but what urgent matter is there to see Yuan Fu?"

There are not many people in the officialdom who know about Wang Wu's chanting hall, but when Lu Zhongshu met Wang Wu for the first time, he called him Mr. Yuantang, which shows that the other party has put in some effort.

In the past, Wang Wu would chat with Lu Zhongshu for a few words, but now he said: "There is indeed something important, Yuan Fu is in the room?"

"I am discussing matters with Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang in the office, but should I report it to the next agent?"

Wang Wu said: "Then there is no need. Let's talk about it after the two cabinet masters leave."

Lu Zhongshu smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Niantang should call me if he has any instructions."

After saying that, Lu Zhongshu went to do business again. This person looked at Wang Wu like him, but when he saw that he was worried, he looked distracted.

He knew Wang Wu's character. Like his master, he liked to raise the style of a famous scholar on weekdays and was calm at any time. Now, something big must have happened.

After a while, they saw Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei and others step out of the duty room.

Wang Wuchao and the other two bowed and entered the door of the duty room. Lu Zhongshu glanced at it, hesitated for a while and buried his head on the table.

In the duty room, Wang Xijue glanced at Wang Wu and asked, "Have you come back from Lin Zonghai? Have you seen anyone?"

As Wang Xijue said, he sat back on the official hat chair. Just now, the servant had just served him dine-in. He had time to eat a few bites of Zhao, and Zhang and the others came to ask for a meeting, so the meal was always placed aside.

Wang Xijue saw that Wang Wu's face was a little wrong, so he put down his chopsticks and asked solemnly: "What's going on?"

Seeing that Wang Wu wanted to speak, Wang Xijue said first: "The news in the palace just now is that the emperor wants to punish Lin Zonghai for burning the imperial edict, and dismiss his official position!"

After Wang Xijue said that, Wang Wu's face was extremely pale, which was not a good sign.

"But he has been persuaded by several big men. I heard that the emperor was hesitating, so the decree has not yet been delivered."

Wang Xijue said while skillfully removing the fish bones with chopsticks, then pressed the long beard with one hand and stretched out the chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat and said, "Tell me slowly!"

"Yes, Master..." Wang Wu calmed down and said, "Master, I met Lin Zonghai in the bookstore today..."

Wang Xijue is from Taicang and likes to eat mandarin fish the most. However, eating mandarin fish is not easy, and it is difficult to stain juice on long-bearded clothes. Wang Xijue was born in a family of fine clothes and food, so eating mandarin fish is very sensible, and the clothes and beard are not stained at all.

But after a few mouthfuls, a little juice was stuck on Wang Xijue's beard. He put down his chopsticks and took a towel and wiped his mouth, reached out and pressed it. He got up and walked to the door, as if anyone was eavesdropping outside.

Then he turned to Wang Wu and said, "From the passage Lin Zonghai said just now, "Still the meaning of "just inheritance, and to be named king, and to be enthroned" and say it again, and say it slowly."

Wang Wu whispered: "Yes, Master, Lin Zonghai at that time..."

Wang Xijue no longer ate fish, his eyes gradually became solemn, and he waited until Wang Wu said, "The emperor can reveal his secrets to the world in the future." He leaned on the back of the chair and couldn't help but smiled at himself.

When Wang Wu saw Wang Xijue, he said, "Master, Lin Zonghai may not be true. Who can tell the truth about the future?"

Wang Xijue asked back, "Then I bet on whether the emperor will settle the affairs behind me in the future, or don't have to wait that long, just like Lin Zonghai said that he would bet on the affairs behind me?"

Wang Wu lowered his head and said nothing. He was as big as the Wang family, so he dared to take such a risk.

"I am a prime minister and I am carrying this heavy burden. At present, there seems to be no major matter in the world, but I have serious worries. The basic affairs of the country are just a sign. If it is not done well, many officials and ministers will be sentenced to exile in the future. Although I am confident about my own conspiracy, I have to admit that Lin Zonghai said very well. In the future, no matter whether the eldest son or the third son ascends to the position of Dabao, I will not let my actions go..."

"Master... I pity your loyalty!" Wang Wu couldn't help but feel helpless. Is there really no way? It's really Lin Yanchao who burned the imperial edict. Can't he be grateful to him? Wang Xijue even wanted to protect him in front of the emperor.

Wang Xijue said: "I already know the matter. Don't tell me to let Li Daofu come to my house tonight!"

Wang Wu was surprised. What was the purpose of Wang Xijue asking Li Sancai to come here at this moment?

"This matter is extremely important. Don't disturb others, especially Lu Zhongshu."

"Shu Lu?" Wang Wu asked in surprise, "Can the master trust him?"

Wang Xijue nodded slowly and said, "This person is from Lu Pinghu."

"When did it happen? I trusted him so much and entrusted him with all the big and small things in the cabinet. How dare he?"

Wang Xijue sighed: "I have known it for a long time. I pretended not to know it before because I couldn't speak to others for nothing, nor did I want to break up with others, but I am afraid it won't work now."

Wang Wu understood that Wang Xijue knew that Lu Zhongshu was Lu Guangzu's man, but he still asked him to use it.

Although Lu Guangzu is powerful, his master is not someone to fool. Wang Xijue has always been wary of Lu Guangzu since he entered the cabinet.
