Chapter 226: Accept the comments and summon Lu Shou

One day later, the court discussed above.

Wei Zhengqi reported: "Your Majesty, now Lu Shou, the leader of the Lu clan of Fanyang, wants to meet the saint, why is Your Majesty unwilling to summon him?"

Wei Zheng didn't want to care about the Lu family in Fanyang, but not only Lu Qing found him, but even Lu Shou visited him in person and asked him for help.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but promise to plead with the emperor and spare Lu Ge's life.

Wei Zheng also knew that Lu Ge was sentenced to death by the autumn queen, which was his own fault and could not blame others. Therefore, he did not plead with the emperor for Lu Shou.

Although he did not plead with the emperor about Lu Ge, he knew that Lu Shou had always wanted to meet the emperor, so he wanted to help him, which would be considered worthy of his friendship with Lu Shou.

Li Er naturally knew that Wei Zheng had a friendship with Lu Shou, so he glanced at Wei Zheng and said slowly: "Lu Shou is not an official in the court, why should I summon him?"

"Your Majesty, although Lu Shou is not an official in the court, he is not an ordinary civilian. If Your Majesty summons Lu Shou, it can better reflect that Your Majesty is doing good and accepts all rivers! If Your Majesty summons Lu Shou, he will set an example for all officials in the world. The relationship between the court and the people will become better, and the people will not think that the marquis's family is like the sea!" Wei Zheng said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"Your Majesty, the secretary is wrong." Changsun Wuji couldn't help but say, "If Your Majesty summons Lu Shou today, then there will be Zhang Shou, Zhao Shou, and Sun Shou to meet the saint tomorrow."

"Lu Shou is the head of the Lu clan of Fanyang, not an ordinary citizen, and it is reasonable for His Majesty to summon him." Wei Zheng retorted.

"Wuji understands this," Changsun Wuji's face flashed with contempt, "If Lu Shou is not from the Lu family of Fanyang, will the Secretary-General not speak for him?"

Wei Zheng's face changed and he said a little displeased: "Kaifu is a crime to be accused of."

Changsun Wuji also became unhappy, and the corners of his mouth moved. He was about to refute him, but Li Zaigu, who was standing beside him, said first: "Report to Your Majesty, I think what the Secretary-in-Chief says is reasonable!"

As soon as Li Zaigu said this, Li Er, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked at him incredibly.

Wei Zheng was also surprised that Li Zaigu actually spoke for him.

Li Zaigu should know that Lu Shou's purpose of meeting the emperor was to save his grandson and to deal with Li Zaigu. However, why did Li Zaigu still speak for himself and ask the emperor to summon Lu Shou?

"As the Secretary-General said, if Your Majesty summoned Lu Shou, it would be better to show the people in the world that Your Majesty is doing good and embraces all rivers! As we all know, if Lu Shou wants to meet Your Majesty, he naturally pleads with Your Majesty for his grandson's affairs. Your Majesty can also take this opportunity to show to the people in the world that Your Majesty is not a person with a heart and is willing to give others a chance to appeal!"

Li Zaigu said, and winked at Li Er.

Li Er and other characters immediately realized that Li Zaigu had something in his words and had other purposes.

Li Er is getting more and more familiar with Li Zaigu and knows that he has many ideas.

Li Er straightened his body, looked at Li Zaigu, then looked at Wei Zheng, and said loudly: "Okay, I accept the advice from the Secretary-General and General Li, and I will meet Lu Shou at a date!"

"Your Majesty, since Lu Shou is in a hurry to meet His Majesty, why not summon him tomorrow morning?" Li Zaigu suggested, and then winked at Li Er.

"Okay, what General Li said!" Li Er nodded.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Zaigu bowed with a smile and said.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before bowing and shouting, "Your Majesty is wise."

He did not expect that Li Er would summon Lu Shou to court tomorrow.

After retreating from the court, Li Er ordered the eunuch to tell Li Zaigu that he would go to Ganlu Palace and discuss anything.

"In ancient times, why did you agree with Wei Zheng's advice and ask me to summon Lu Shou?"

After Li Zaigu entered the Ganlu Palace, Li Er couldn't wait to ask.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have four purposes for you to summon Lu Shou." Li Zaigu said slowly, "First, I hope Your Majesty will be good and embrace all rivers; second, I am taking this opportunity to show Lu Shou that your Majesty's order to sentence Lu Ge to death was in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and there was no selfishness, so I was not afraid to explain it face to face with Lu Shou; third, if Your Majesty summoned Lu Shou, Lu Shou would not cause trouble in Chang'an City again."

Li Erruo nodded with some understanding.

"There is another point. The reason why I asked Your Majesty to summon Lu Shou during the court discussion was to let all officials witness it. Seeing whether Lu Shou had bumped into Your Majesty when he saw it. If Lu Shou dared to bump into Your Majesty in front of all officials, he would take the opportunity to convict him, and the ministers who spoke for him would have nothing to say." Li Zaigu continued.

When Li Er heard this, he laughed: "It's amazing! It's amazing!"

After pausing, Li Er thoughtfully said, "What if Lu Shou didn't hit me?"

"If Lu Shou did not collide with Your Majesty, there would be no loss to Your Majesty." Li Zai said with a smile on his face, "Anyway, Your Majesty is willing to summon Lu Shou, so he has already shown to the officials and the people of the world that Your Majesty is a good person and is inclusive of all rivers. Everyone in the world will know that Your Majesty is a wise king!"

"Yes." Li Erruo nodded slightly thinking.

"I believe that Lu Shou's courage to cause trouble in Chang'an City means that he does not take His Majesty seriously, and he also disrespects His Majesty in his heart."

Li Zaigu closed his smile and continued.

"I have asked someone to investigate Lu Shou and know him. Lu Shou is a man who is a powerful family in Shandong and a great scholar in Shandong. He is used to being arrogant.

Therefore, I dare to conclude that if Lu Shou appears tomorrow morning, with his temper, it is easy to say wrong things. If his words and deeds are in good condition, His Majesty will reason with him; if his words and deeds are slandered His Majesty, slandered the court or slandered the ministers in the court, and His Majesty will not let him go easily."

Li Er nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "In ancient times, in ancient times, your plan is always unexpected! Like your uncle Pharmacist, you have not only the talent of generals, but also the talent of the prime minister!"

"Your Majesty is too honored!" Li Zaigu smiled, "Compared with my uncle who is a general and a prime minister when he is in the future, he is still far behind!"

"As long as you serve me seriously, serve the court, be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and be loyal to your duties, with your talents, you will be able to serve as prime minister in time!" Li Er said with a smile again.

Li Er's words seem to praise Li Zaigu on the surface, but they have something in their words.

He actually reminded Li Zaigu that only by being loyal to the emperor and the court can he have a bright future. On the contrary, if Li Zaigu dares to be enemies of the emperor and the court, he will have nothing.

Li Zaigu naturally understood what Li Er meant.

"Thank you for your praise!" Li Er bowed and said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Whether it is today or next day, I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty and the court! I do not want to be the prime minister, I only want to be able to share your Majesty's worries and solve your problems!"

Li Zaigu is not a fool, so at the right time, he naturally has to know how to say beautiful words.

"Haha! Very good, very good!" Li Er smiled, and a trace of inattention flashed across his eyes.
