Chapter 219: Standing by and Watching
Liu Xingzhi's thoughts, Lu Zuo has already seen through, for the throne, Liu Xingzhi is more coveted than his father, the reason why he is so excited and asks his father to start earlier is nothing more than afraid that the crown prince will really win the throne, so he will never have a chance to inherit the throne. Liu Xingzhi understood at this moment that he had to get Lu Zuo's support, and maybe his father would agree to raise the matter, so he suddenly looked at Lu Zuo enthusiastically and said, "Mr. Lu, you must also support my idea of raising things, right?" ”
Lu Zuo smiled slightly at Liu Xingzhi, and then continued to ask King Ning Liu lightly, "Lord Wang, do you think the emperor is really being held hostage by the crown prince?" ”
Liu Xun buried his head and thought for a long time before he said: "It's not impossible, otherwise how could you suddenly entrust everything to the prince alone?" ”
When Liu Xingzhi saw his father say this, his joy was overflowing, and he immediately responded: "Father, you think so too, without further ado, we should do ......it as soon as possible."
Liu Xun raised his hand and signaled him to shut up, Liu Xingzhi turned his head in a daze, and Liu Xun continued to ask Lu Zuo: "But this time I listened to Mr.!" ”
"Didn't the prince find anything wrong all the way back today?" Lu Zuo asked.
Liu Xun was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"On my way here, I found that many people in Xinghua Restaurant were talking about the emperor being ill and leaving everything to the prince. Don't you know? ”
"This ......" Liu Xun also seemed to notice that something was wrong, "The emperor is sick, how come such a confidential event has spread all over the capital in less than a day?" ”
Liu Xingzhi continued: "What's so strange about this, Father and the King, now we should be thinking about how to deal with Liu Yan, not the imperial ......."
"Shut up......" Liu Xun interrupted Liu Xingzhi's words again, and shouted, "Get out of here!" ”
Liu Xingzhi saw that his father was really angry, so he gritted his teeth and turned his head away, and he had no intention of going out.
Liu Xun's cheeks trembled slightly, and he asked Lu Zuo solemnly, "You mean there is fraud?" ”
Lu Zuo shook his head, "The emperor is sick, such an important news spread all over the capital almost in a day, if it wasn't for the emperor himself to let out the wind, who would be stupid enough to publicize this matter to the outside world?" Prince? King Ning? ”
Liu Xun also felt reasonable, "Then the emperor cheated on his illness and told the public about it, what is his intention?" ”
"Of course, I want to see who is ill-intentioned, or I want to try the prince, of course, there may be many reasons, but with the understanding of the emperor, he is definitely a fraud."
"So what's next? Liu Yan is now in charge, and he is bound to attack us with a counterattack. Liu Xun began to be a little worried, the crown prince was in power, and it was conceivable that he would take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.
Lu Zuo also fell into deep thought, his face was sinking like water, he lowered his head and thought, and only after a long time did he raise his head and said: "Lose the car and protect the handsome, as long as the emperor is not really sick, there is a way to get back the chess pieces we lost." ”
"Ah......" Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xun's father and son exclaimed almost at the same time, Liu Xingzhi said indignantly, "You mean we don't do anything and let Liu Yan's kid attack us?" In the end, our power gradually weakened and we fought alone, how could we win Liu Yan? ”
Liu Xun glanced at his son, and he was silent, but this time Liu Xun did not scold his son, but looked at Lu Zuo earnestly, and seemed to be asking the same question in his eyes.
Lu Zuodao: "Now there are two situations, one is that the emperor is really trying to test Liu Yan, so if Liu Yan really takes this opportunity to eradicate dissidents, then the emperor's evaluation of him will be greatly discounted, and the other is that the emperor wants to take this opportunity to see if there are really people in the court vying for power, if the prince really fights, maybe it will only make the emperor scoff at it, so we can't help anyway, once the emperor realizes that we also have a problem, then it will only lead to fire." And the prince wants to take the opportunity to rectify the person is nothing more than to find some excuses, as long as our people do not have any major faults, nothing more than small to demote officials to dismissal, when the emperor is back in power, there is still a way to use it again, if there are really those corrupt people, it is not necessarily a bad thing to borrow the prince's hand to remove them now. ”
Liu Xingzhi was surprised when he heard this, "What? Do you mean that we just sit idly by and let Liu Yan do whatever he wants? ”
Lu Zuo replied with certainty: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ”
Liu Xun sighed after being silent for a moment, then slapped the table and glared, "Hmph! Good...... This king will see how long Liu Yan's hairy boy can run rampant! ”
In the backyard of Xinghua Restaurant, quiet Ruo is looking at the crescent moon on the eaves worriedly, sighing softly from time to time, the sound of the cold wind passing through the eaves can be heard in the ears from time to time, and a few unknown green plants in the yard hang their heads, and there is no new spring atmosphere at all. Suddenly, a muffled sound mingled, like the crash of porcelain, and if it weren't for years of martial arts, it would be almost imperceptible. Quiet Ruo's sharp eyes searched around through the moonlight, but the sound stopped abruptly, and she stopped, closed her eyes, and tried to determine the source of the sound again, but found nothing. She opened her eyes again, and instinctively looked at the eaves, but the dark night had seen the whole yard swallowed up, and without the moonlight, it was almost impossible to see movement on the roof.
"Madame......"
A warm voice came, and a handsome man not far away stood under the lamp, bloodless in the light of the candlelight. Jing Jingruo leaked a knowing smile and said, "Why is it so long?" Are things going well? ”
Lu Zuo stepped forward slowly, smiling, "As long as they listen to me, there will be no mistakes!" ”
Quiet Ruo is full of worry, "The current situation is complicated, and we must have our own way out!" ”
Lu Zuo seemed to smile bitterly, and didn't answer directly, but just grabbed his wife's right hand, "Let's go back early!" ”
The husband and wife walked out of the restaurant, only walked a few steps, Jingruo faintly noticed that something was wrong, looked up at Lu Zuo, and asked worriedly: "Xianggong, do you feel that something is wrong?" ”
"What do you mean......" Lu Zuo frowned, out of vigilance, he looked around, behind him was a noisy restaurant, people came and went on the street, and the sound of inviting people to buy and drink was not stopped, and there was no obvious wrong, so he asked, "Is someone following?" ”
Quietly looked around, but found nothing, and sighed unnoticedly, "Maybe I'm too sensitive." ”
"You have locked your brows tighter than anyone else in the past two days, don't worry about it, Madame, everything has me, there will be no mistakes." Lu Zuodao.
Quiet as the light in his eyes flickered, he took Lu Zuo's hand and continued to walk towards Lu Mansion.
