Zhao Xun said with a worried expression: "Behind the King of Chu is the Yang family, he now has 30,000 soldiers and horses, sitting in Luojing, the position is important, and there are soldiers and horses in his hands, the threat is too great, and the winged king Zhao He, his roots in Hedong are too deep, although the previous father and emperor dealt a severe blow to him, causing his power in Hedong to fall apart, but this may only be on the surface, no one knows how many forces exist in secret." ”

Lu Bojiang said: "No wonder His Royal Highness seems to be handling political affairs normally these days, but it is rare to summon officials to the East Palace, it turns out that this is the case." ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "There are many people, the Yang family and the Yiwang and other factions must have arranged spies around Lone, and if there are more people who have seen it, the news of the emperor may spread out, and when the time comes, the King of Chu and the Yiwang and others will definitely not sit still, Lone is not ready yet, and it will take time." ”

Lu Baijiang asked softly: "Who knows the news that the emperor is in a coma?" ”

"Li Zhongquan, Qian Mingdu, Zou Fuxian, ......"

In extraordinary times, very cautious, the news that Zhao Zhi fell into a coma, Zhao Xun told very few people, no more than ten people, all of them were his closest and most trusted people.

"Your Highness thinks that you have already discussed with Li Zhongquan and others, I don't know what to do?"

"End the Henan war as soon as possible, so that the king of Chu will have no excuse to continue to stay in Luojing, and then dispatch Huang Xuan to quickly return to Hedong, with him in Hedong, the soldiers and horses of the Yiwang will not be able to move, and when these two things are done, at that time, if the emperor has not ......... In the name of the emperor, the lone general issued an edict of abdication....."

Lu Baijiang sneered: "If the minister's guess is right, Li Zhongquan and the others also suggest that His Highness be calm and calm, remain quiet, delay as much time as possible, and then they will secretly contact and control the forbidden army, once the above things are completed, they will immediately lead the troops into the city to help His Highness successfully ascend the throne as emperor?" ”

Zhao Xun nodded: "That's right." ”

Lu Baijiang shook his head and said categorically: "If His Highness acts like this, it will definitely be a big mistake, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

Zhao Xun's face was shocked when he heard this, and he asked urgently, "What do you mean by this?" Lone felt that it was foolproof to act like this. ”

Lu Baijiang said in a deep voice: "The change of imperial power is the most murderous and dangerous thing, how can it be said that it is foolproof? If you are not careful, you will lose everything, Your Royal Highness, as the prince of the country, is the person who inherits the throne, and the name is justified, why bother to come to that set of false decrees? Sooner or later, this matter will spread one day, and at that time, the world will be full of rumors, how will His Highness deal with himself? And how to face the people of the world? ”

Listening to Lu Bojiang's words, Zhao Xun was silent, he knew that there were some words, Lu Bojiang was not easy to say, although Zhao Zhi was in a coma, but he did not die, once he falsely passed on the holy decree, he immediately ascended the throne as the emperor, this is a reckless son of man, a loss of filial piety, and an unkind and unrighteous act, what qualifications does such a person have to be emperors?

Moreover, even if his plan is successful, there is another possibility, what the imperial doctor said is that it is difficult for Zhao Zhi to wake up again, not that he will never wake up, if Zhao Zhi suddenly wakes up in the future, he has already pretended to pass on the holy decree and become the emperor, how should he face Zhao Zhi at that time? If Zhao Zhi was angry and made any radical moves, would he still kill his father?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun suddenly came back to his senses, cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, he took Lu Bojiang's hand, and said gratefully: "If it weren't for your kind words and advice, I would have almost made a big mistake." ”

After that, Zhao Xun let go of his hand, and said with some worry: "What you said is very right, but my father doesn't know when he will wake up, and he is alone as the crown prince, so I am afraid that he will not be able to control the overall situation!" ”

Lu Baijiang shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you think about the problem too simply, even if you immediately inherit the throne now, become the Son of Heaven, and oppose your forces, will they bow down to your vassals?" ”

Zhao Xun was silent.

Lu Bojiang asked again: "The minister dares to ask, if Your Highness sits on the throne, what will you do with the Wing King and the King of Chu?" ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "The King of Chu and the King of Wing have many different intentions, and they have great hostility towards Gu, after Gu succeeds to the throne, he can't do anything to kill his siblings, but he won't let the two of them go out and disturb the stability of the country." ”

Your Highness's benevolence and righteousness are the blessings of the world. ”

Zhao Xun said so, but Lu Baijiang can conclude that the first thing Zhao Xun will do after succeeding to the throne is probably to raise the butcher's knife at the King of Chu and the Wing King.

Lu Baijiang bowed, praised Zhao Xun, and then said: "Your Highness's benevolence, I am afraid that the King of Chu and the Wing King will not feel it, they will only feel that once His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, they will have no way to live, so, with such a mentality, they will never sit still, and will definitely make a desperate bet to make the final counterattack." ”

Zhao Xun looked at Lu Baijiang, did not speak, and motioned for him to continue.

Lu Baijiang sorted out his thoughts and continued: "The advice of Li Zhongquan and others, cautious and steady, is the safest way, but it is not timely, and it also gives others a chance. ”

Zhao Xun said disdainfully: "Fengjing is all under the control of Lonely, the King of Chu is running fast, and there is only one Wing King left, what chance can he have?" ”

Lu Baijiang said lightly: "Since there is no chance, why does the Wing King still stay in Fengjing?" He can go to Hedong, which is his base camp, as long as he goes there, even if His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne as emperor, what can he do with him in a short time? Since the Wing King chose to stay, it proves that he has not given up, and he still has the strength to fight back. ”

Zhao Xun frowned and was silent, I have to say that what Lu Bojiang said has some truth, under the strong support of Zhao Zhi, Fengjing's military power has been fully in his own hands, and the civilian forces in the court also have the upper hand, in such a situation, Yiwang did not choose to leave, what does this mean? Could it be that the Winged King felt that after he succeeded to the throne, he would let him go? Obviously impossible, and since it is impossible, why stay?

"Moreover, Your Highness has thought about one, maybe not?"

"What is possible?"

"The news that the emperor is in a coma, perhaps..... It is already known to the Winged King. ”

"It can't be."

Zhao Xun shook his head: "The emperor seems to be ordinary, but in fact he has been completely controlled by Mu Gong, and Mu Gong has already expressed his allegiance to Gu and will do his best to help Gu succeed to the throne smoothly." ”

Lu Baijiang said with a distant gaze: "The minister just said that it is possible, if the Wing King has really learned the news, what does His Highness think he will do?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xun's body shook slightly, the expression on his face became extremely heavy, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
