Chapter 276: Chapter 276, boiling a frog in warm water
Lady Qiao said, “It must be. If it weren’t for my parents’illness, I wouldn’t have hastily married myself.” Seeing that Lu Chen’s expression didn’t look right, Lady Qiao reached out and hugged his waist. “But I’m glad that after marriage, you and I can still be in love.” Lu Chen lowered his head and touched Qiao Jinniang’s lips. “There’s a reason why the prince consort can’t become a high official in the imperial court. After all, there are quite a few princesses and princesses who rebelled.” Qiao jinniang said, “If they really have the intention to rebel, even if the princess doesn’t have the help of the prince consort, it’s not impossible for her to do it. Secretly colluding with the courtiers is also not impossible.”. It would be better to come in an open and magnanimous manner. Back then, Wei Qing was still the uncle of the country, and the prince consort had been loyal to the emperor and the country his whole life. He had left behind a heroic reputation that had been passed down for thousands of years, but the Wei family had not rebelled. It was clear that one could not guard against the intention to rebel.” Lu Chen smiled, “You don’t have to convince me. I don’t have any objections to this. I also hope that I can meet the person my royal sister entrusted to her and be with Lin Mo for the rest of her life. However, this rule can not be changed just like that.” Qiao jinniang said, “In this case, I don’t even dare to have a daughter.” Lu Chen gently placed his hand on her abdomen. “Don’t worry. I Won’t let our daughter suffer any grievances.” Qiao Jinniang gently slapped Lu Chen’s hand. “You haven’t had a daughter yet.” “But I feel that it’s a little round and round.”Lu Chen asked, “Are you pregnant with a child of mutton or a child of wine here?” Qiao Jinniang covered Lu Chen’s mouth. While the two were fighting, Gu Ming’s voice came from the door. “Your Highness, Young Master Lin Mo and Long Xi Jie du are fighting.” Lu Chen took a deep breath. They were both worrisome. He said to Qiao Jinniang, “You rest first. I’ll go and take a look.” “Okay,”Qiao Jinniang said. Lu Chen was not surprised that Lin Mo and Yue Zhan were fighting. The first time they met, they would definitely be jealous of each other. Lu Chen was naturally on Lin Mo’s side when it came to fighting. There was no reason for him to not help his family. Yue Zhan was extremely angry when he was punished to write down the gifts. He almost broke his pen in the study at night until a letter arrived. He ordered someone to invite the person who sent the letter in. After seeing Zhou Siming, Yue Zhan cupped his hands and said, “So it’s crown prince Zhou.” Zhou siming said, “I’m no longer the crown prince. Ambassador Yue Jiedu, Lu Chen is heartless and heartless. He even gave up the family that protected him since he was young. To be able to ignore the life of his cousin who grew up with him since young, he is really shameless to the extreme! Now, he is siding with Lin Mo. . If envoy Yue Jiedu is willing to be used by me, after my master succeeds, I can allow envoy Yue Jiedu to once again become Princess Jinghua’s son-in-law. When that time comes, all the military power in Longxi will belong to envoy Yue Jiedu.” When Yue Zhan heard this, he said, “Zhou Siming, this envoy remembers that you and the crown prince have been brothers since young. How can I believe the truth in Your Words?” “If we really want to talk about this, let the master behind you come out. Don’t cower and hide!” Zhou siming frowned and said, “Who grew up together with Lu Chen? When he disregarded my sister’s wishes and killed my own sister for a woman, there was no brotherhood left.” Yue Zhan said, “I won’t talk to you. Just ask the master behind you to come out. If you want my troops in Longxi, you can’t rely on a small fry like you!” .. In the study room of the Lu residence. Lu Chen berated Lin Mo., “What are you and Yue Zhan doing? He can’t marry the imperial sister, and you can’t marry the imperial sister. The two of you are so funny, arguing over a woman who doesn’t belong to you!” Lin Mo said, “He was the one who provoked me first. I Won’t make a move in the future. Your Highness, why do you want to stay in Longxi? A martial artist like Yue Zhan is really disgraceful.” “Waiting for someone.” “Waiting for Who?”Lin Mo asked. Lu Chen said, “The empress dowager doesn’t have much time left. The entire party of King Huai’s chengen uncle’s mansion must be panicking. It’s not necessarily that they won’t make a move. As for Luoyang, with my father holding the fort, they won’t dare to rebel in Luoyang. “My “Resourceful”eldest brother will definitely set his sights on Chang ‘an. and the closest army to Chang ‘an that he can rope in is the envoy of Longxi.” Lin Mo said, “King Huai wants to rebel? He’s crazy. What right does he have to rebel? Even if he can rope in Yue Zhan, how can Yue Zhan’s troops rebel?” King Huai did not have any troops in his hands. The Chengen Bo Mansion looked flashy on the outside but did not have any real power on the inside. If it were not for the empress dowager’s presence, the things that the Chengen Bo Mansion and King Yong had done would have been enough to make them suffer. Lu Chen said, “It’s nothing more than colluding with the enemy.”. “Do you still remember the West Liang Imperial preceptor and Mu Qianqian that you caught in Chang ‘an?”? Mu Qianqian was King Huai’s lover on the outside. Mu Qianqian protecting the West Liang Imperial preceptor so much already showed that King Huai had cooperated with West Liang.” Lin Mo naturally remembered. “But using the power of West Liang to plot rebellion is nothing more than asking for the Tiger’s skin. No, if we just cooperate with West Liang, how could the northern desert be willing?” Lu Chen handed a letter to Lin Mo and said, “This is a secret letter intercepted by the Dragon Guards. My good eldest brother, you don’t just want to cooperate with Xiliang imperial court. There is also the northern desert. If Xiliang helps him become the monarch of great Tang, he is willing to cede ten cities and the right to use the river channels in the border to the northern desert.” Lin Mo held the secret letter and said, “Doesn’t His Majesty Know About the Dragon Guards? Then His Majesty won’t be angry, won’t be angry?” Lu Chen shook his head and said, “Father Doesn’t know. I’ve locked up the dragon guards who sent the letter. Father will only think that the dragon guards have been sacrificed.” Lin Mo was a smart person and immediately understood. If this matter was brought to His Majesty’s attention, he could naturally convict King Huai. However, the evidence was indeed not sufficient. Just based on this secret letter, it was still not certain that it was written by King Huai. It was also possible that King Huai would cunningly call it Lu Chen’s deliberate slander. Lin Mo said, “There is a trick in the art of war that is to boil a frog in warm water. I think it is just right to use it on King Huai.” The frog would always die in the most comfortable environment. Lu Chen said, “Indeed. Moreover, father wants the reputation of the Wise ruler of the ages, so he can not kill his own son. However, King Huai is willing to collaborate with the enemy for the sake of the throne. It can be seen how insane he is. If we don’t get rid of him, we will feel uneasy even if we are alone.” Lin Mo cupped his hands and said, “Then did I cause trouble for You When I fought with Yue Zhan just now?” The troops of Longxi had always been strong. Five years ago, they had even fought with the Longxi King. Once they were roped in by Zhou Siming and King Huai, it would be too disadvantageous for them. “That’s Not Right, your highness. If Yue Zhan defected to King Huai, then Longxi is Yue Zhan’s territory. Then wouldn’t your situation with the Crown Princess consort and the Emperor’s great grandson be very dangerous?”Lin Mo cupped his hands and advised Lu Chen, “Your Highness, please leave Longxi as soon as possible.”
