Chapter 186: Lobbying the Lu Clan

Lan Yu stood anxiously in the middle of them.

Since he had been fighting abroad for many years and did not need to go to court, he found these buzzing sounds particularly annoying to him.

Because he sacrificed his life to defend the vast territory for the Ming Dynasty, he felt that his upset was taken for granted.

At this moment he was thinking about his thoughts, determined to leave this dreary cage, as a high-flying eagle, how could he live in a nest with pedantic and mediocre, submissive sparrows?

He was ready to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to fight Hanxi Xifan, so he took a step forward.

The other ministers who wanted to play silently lowered their arms.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of May, the minister led an army to conquer Handong and toured Azhenchuan, and the local chief Hazhan and his subordinates fled in panic. Now, when Hansi suddenly invaded with an army, the minister suspected that the Turkish chief Hazhan might have fled to Hansey. ”

"Hanxi and my Ming have always been peaceful, and they have paid tribute to the imperial court many times, this sudden attack may really be as General Lan said, it is Ha Zhan who sow discord and instigate Hanxi to be the enemy of my Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty! Chan suspected that the raid might have been led by Hazhan. The minister asked for an army to be sent to conquer Hansifan, and completely destroyed Hazhan to prevent him from causing another incident. Ask for the emperor's permission! ”

Once again, Lan Yu's loyalty was laid bare in front of the ministers, making them embarrassed.

Who can lead the way and serve his country like him?

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his gray beard with his hand, and did not immediately agree to Lan Yu's request, he repeatedly weighed between gains and losses.

Lan Yu is now the courtier with the greatest military achievements, the most cronies, and the most powerful courtier.

He has made great achievements, attacking Mobei, conquering the west, and Pingyungui, where is there no blue jade?

The blue jade burned like a flame, even obscuring the light of him, the emperor.

Did he want to give Lan Yu another chance to make this flame burn even brighter?

Lan Yu's performance on the battlefield also disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang.

He thought that the country that Zhu Yuanzhang had laid down must rely on him to be able to defend, and he regarded himself as an arm that Zhu Yuanzhang could not break.

No, he Zhu Yuanzhang will never let people sway, and he must not let this arm distort his body.

Sapphire may have been important, but it was by no means the only one.

Zhu Yuanzhang had many opportunities to kill Lan Yu, and Jin Yiwei collected the bad deeds of Lan Yu that could arouse the anger of the people, and each of them could make him crush his bones.

But......

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the military generals standing on the west side, who can make a meritorious contribution to the blue jade, but he knows how to advance and retreat in a certain way, and not cross the thunder pool?

"General Lan has been fighting abroad all year round, and his body also needs to be recuperated. Who among the generals is willing to go to Hanxi for General Lan to exterminate the rebel army? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept over the general's face like a sharp blade.

The generals stiffened their faces and stiffened their backs, and if it weren't for the two more nostrils, they wouldn't even want to gasp.

They are not afraid to go to war, but they are afraid of blue jade. Lan Yu asked for battle, how dare they fight him?

"The minister is willing to go to Hanxi to fight the thief." Song Sheng, the governor of the right army, stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and calmly and calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept forward from the face of the last military general and fixed on Song Sheng's face.

Lan Yu leaned sideways slightly and glanced behind her.

Song Sheng didn't enter his field of vision, and his irritation added a little more.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting at the best observation point, had a panoramic view.

His heart was beaming, and nothing could make him happier now than striking Blue Jade.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face, and he had never smiled so sincerely.

"Good! Song Sheng, I have made you a general, and I will take 50,000 soldiers to Hanxi to be a vanguard. You participated in the Battle of Handong and are familiar with the situation in the West, so it is only fitting that you should lead the troops in this battle! ”

The other generals all breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed their stiff bodies slightly, and only then did they dare to sweat out.

They didn't know what Song Sheng's unusual move meant, but no matter what, they were grateful to him.

Lan Yu frowned and bowed her head silently.

He never expected that this chief military officer who obeyed him in the Battle of Handong would become Cheng Yanjin, who was killed halfway.

What does Song Sheng want to do? He wants to make meritorious contributions? Want to go against him Blue Jade? Want to please the emperor?

At this time, the blue jade, the noble blue jade, and the arrogant blue jade have long been unable to think of what a small person thinks.

"General Lan doesn't need to be discouraged. How many victories has General Lan fought and how many scenes he has seen, how can a little Hansi Sifan be worth General Lan's hard work? After General Lan recuperates, Da Ming still needs you to go to a bigger battlefield! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said a few words of comfort to Lan Yu intimately, which did not break the calm water, but also reminded Lan Yu: He is not irreplaceable.

Lan Yu was so angry that his words were like a medicine for wind and cold that had been sent into the mouth of a wind-fever patient, making him feel angry, but he couldn't attack.

He was wrapped in fire and said expressionlessly: "Yes, Your Majesty!" This battle was fought by the Song Dudu. ”

The East Palace is deserted like a palace from the previous dynasty.

The crown prince Zhu Biao died, and the grandson Zhu Yunwen studied the government diligently, and stayed in the Qianqing Palace with Zhu Yuanzhang every day, leaving only the crown princess Lu alone.

She is very glad that she can survive, not greedy for a few more years of food and a few more years of clothes, she believes that she can help Zhu Yunwen.

Although the amount is small and the force is small, she is the only person in the world who is willing to give up her life for Zhu Yunwen.

Redstone came to the East Palace alone.

Song Sheng asked for battle, Lan Yu stayed in the capital, and it was the turn of the crown princess to appear.

Hongshi was summoned by the crown princess with the words "family affairs are fulfillment, and the world is the crown".

Probably in accordance with Queen Ma's teachings to the harem, the Lu family was dressed plainly, the clothes were obviously faded, and there was a patch, and only a silver hairpin was inserted on the head, which completed the task that only seven or eight golden hairpins and hostas could complete.

Lu Shi sat in the Taishi's chair, looked at Hongshi quietly, did not ask questions, and waited for Hongshi to explain his identity and intentions.

"Crown Princess, I can't tell you the identity of the Crown Princess, but please believe that we are allies and not enemies."

The crown princess was stunned and raised her vigilance. She is not a person who is in the political maelstrom, unable to cope with the fear of the unknown.

Redstone saw that there was a cautious, terrified woman sitting in front of her, and was going to show her patience and some degree of sincerity.

"The crown princess, the person who hid the letter in the princess's clothes is Xia, and he can't bear to see the separation of flesh and blood, and is willing to help the crown princess and the imperial grandson."

"Is it really you?" The crown princess's two hands clung to the armrest, and she tried to stand up impulsively, but she tried to restrain herself because of her caution.

"It's down. The imperial grandson entrusted him to save the princess, and he didn't dare to forget it. ”

"Blink? Are you acquainted with Bing'er? The crown princess could no longer be reserved, and stood up and walked over to Redstone.

"It's fate!" Redstone Road.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving your life!" The alarm was lifted, and the princess was polite and thanked Redstone.

"Don't dare to be in the next place!"

"Liying, tea!" The crown princess instructed the maid, "Please be seated!" Your Excellency is here to ...... today."

"Naturally, it is for the emperor's grandson. I'll give you some advice at the bottom. If you feel that these suggestions will help the imperial grandson, you can take them. Conversely, if you feel that the advice is worthless, you can put it out under the blast. ”

Redstone is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Your Excellency, please speak." The crown princess's eyes showed a melancholy color again.

"Yes, Crown Princess. Your son is the heir to the throne, and countless eyes in the court are on him, staring at the throne that rises high. Of course, as long as the emperor is on one day, the emperor's grandson can sit back and relax. But the emperor is old, and the imperial grandson is still fledgling, if the emperor is gone, who has the ability to protect the imperial grandson? ”

The crown princess's face twitched slightly.

Redstone's words are exactly what she thinks about every day. The day her son became the emperor's grandson, she began to worry about this problem.

She has no strong family backstage to rely on, her father is gone, and her only brother has broken his arm for her and resigned.

Her son Zhu Yunwen is only 16 years old, how can their orphans and widows deal with those bloody mouths, how can they survive under those fierce eyes?

"How can I help Ji'er?" The crown princess's weak body made a firm voice.

Hongshi smiled slightly: "The emperor once gave a stick with thorns to the prince, and the prince felt that he couldn't hold it. The emperor cut off all the thorns on the stick and gave it to the prince. The prince held the stick firmly in his hand this time. Crown Princess, do you know what this means? ”

"These thorns are an obstacle to the prince's future. The emperor will first remove the obstacles that the prince will encounter in the future, and the prince will be able to sit firmly in the country. ”

Lu Shi stared at a pair of big eyes, and the fear brought to her by the battle in the court was clearly written on her aging face.

"The crown princess is very intelligent," Redstone praised, "The thorns in front of the crown prince have indeed been plucked out by the emperor, but not necessarily for the crown prince. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The enemies of the crown prince are all the enemies of the imperial grandson, but the prince's friends may not all be the friends of the imperial grandson." Redstone paused.

The Crown Princess's panic intensified, she had imagined danger, but she did not know that it was so dangerous. The enemy has not been eliminated, and the friend has become the enemy, so isn't Bing'er in a quagmire?

"The crown princess should not panic, this is a common thing in power struggles. The imperial grandson will only become a great king after a thousand tempers. ”

"What can I do for Jan?" The crown princess straightened up, and the quagmire in front of her turned into a battlefield.

"Get rid of the blue jade!" Redstone's eyes are as deep as a gully that can't see the end.

"Lan Yu is the brother-in-law of Chang Yuchun, the king of Zhongwu in Kaiping, and the uncle of Chang, the crown princess of Jingyi. With this relationship, he is a friend of the prince, and besides, the prince and he were born and died, and they have a deep relationship, so it is natural for him to assist the prince. ”

But he may not be able to assist the imperial grandson. The imperial grandson is your son, not the son of the crown princess Jingyi, the imperial grandson has no blood relationship with Lan Yu, there is no friendship at all, and there is also a Zhu Yunxi......"

Redstone didn't continue, staring at the Crown Princess's ever-brightening eyes.
