In the East Palace, it seems to be very quiet, except for the eunuchs and palace maids who serve here, there are no foreign ministers here.

Lu Baijiang glanced around, his brows furrowed slightly, this is a bit unreasonable, Zhao Xun is the crown prince in charge of the country, presiding over all major affairs of the court, although Henan's military is no longer hindered, but after all, it is a war, this is not a trivial matter, as long as the war is not over for a day, everyone's mind will be tight, it is said that at this time, there should be many officials here one after another, whether it is useful or not, it is a matter of attitude, but now there is no foreign minister, which is very strange.

When Lu Baijiang came to the main hall of the East Palace, the guards outside knew him, nodded to him, and let him enter the hall.

Zhao Xun walked back and forth, the whole person looked very restless, and the expression on his face was extremely heavy.

The door of the hall was pushed open, Zhao Xun stopped his pace, turned his head to look, and Lu Baijiang walked in.

"Your Highness, the war in Henan is coming to an end soon, why do you want to summon surrender at this time? If they were not severely suppressed by thunderous means, wouldn't they sweep away the majesty of the imperial court, and even make other people with ill intentions feel that if they want to become officials and make a fortune, they can launch a rebellion, as long as the scale is large enough, they will fight so many wars, they will surrender if they can't win, nothing will happen, and they can also get high-ranking officials, so how can there be peace and tranquility in the world in the future? ”

Seeing Zhao Xun, Lu Baijiang immediately hurriedly dissuaded, in his opinion, the order given by Zhao Xun was completely wrong, meaningless, and harmless but not beneficial.

"See for yourself." Zhao Xun shook his head, stepped aside, picked up a book from the table, and handed it to Lu Baijiang.

Lu Baijiang bowed down to take the piece, opened it and saw the contents inside, his face suddenly changed slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Wang Kui's rebels defeated Zhan Tai Jingming, and then forced the eastern capital Luojing, the battle situation changed, when the imperial court moved, Zhao Xun immediately reacted and deployed, and ordered the local army near the eastern capital Luojing, to go to the rescue and counterinsurgency as quickly as possible, Yizhou defense envoy Yang Zuo and Lingzhou Governor Yang An, these two people appeared extremely positive, the distance was much farther than Huang Xu, but the speed of the two leaders was very fast, only one day later than Huang Xu, it was to gather nearly 20,000 troops, go straight to Luojing, after arriving, write to the imperial court, The 20,000 troops they brought were stationed in Luojing to prevent the rebels from attacking, and on the grounds that the army was scattered and not subordinate, the two joined forces to temporarily hand over the tens of thousands of troops in the city to Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu.

Zhao Xun said with some remorse on his face: "Lone is still careless, he shouldn't have given this order, giving the Yang family and the King of Chu a chance, now the King of Chu has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, controlling Luojing, and the threat is too great, so Lone will want to end the Henan war immediately, so that the King of Chu and the Yang family will have no excuse to continue to stay in Luojing." ”

Lu Baijiang closed the chapter, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Your Highness is too worried, you are the crown prince in charge of the country, you have great righteousness, the king of Chu is not worried, Huang Xu, Yun Ji, Wang Huailie and others are all loyal to the court, with them, Yang Zuo and Yang An can't make any big waves, and they will never dare to make any changes." ”

Zhao Xun shook his head: "The King of Chu has the full support of the Yang family, we can't be underestimated, we can't be careless." ”

Lu Baijiang frowned, he always felt that Zhao Xun was a little left and right and looked at the others, hiding something, looking at Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything, but from the different colors that were unintentionally revealed in his eyes, Lu Bojiang felt an emotion, that was fear and uneasiness, Lu Bojiang's heart was shaken, Zhao Xun, as the prince of the country, if nothing else, he would be the ironclad son of the Jin Dynasty in the future, such an existence, what could make him feel afraid?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Baijiang suddenly asked.

Zhao Xun was slightly stunned, looking at Lu Baijiang's eyes that seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts, Zhao Xun's face trembled, he smiled, and covered up: "What are you talking about, how can you be afraid?" ”

Lu Baijiang looked at Zhao Xun silently, Zhao Xun was looked at like this, his expression began to become unnatural, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he kept silent.

Seeing that Zhao Xun still couldn't believe himself, Lu Baijiang sighed, bowed down and saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has not had a deep relationship with you, and you have not known each other for a long time, Your Highness can't trust the minister, and it should be, and the minister doesn't say much, but I just hope that if Your Highness encounters a major and indecisive matter, the political situation is subtle at this time, you must be cautious, although Qian Mingdu, Li Zhongquan and others are average, but they have followed Your Highness for a long time and are trustworthy, Your Highness might as well come to them to discuss one or two, so as not to make irreparable mistakes." ”

After saying this, Lu Baijiang bowed down and bowed again, turned around and was about to leave.

Zhao Xun gritted his teeth, hesitated, and finally stepped forward to grab Lu Baijiang and said in a low voice: "Can Lone trust you?" ”

"Such a villain's behavior of betraying the Lord and seeking glory, the minister will never do it."

Lu Baijiang said with a straight face.

Zhao Xun nodded heavily, and said in a low voice: "Do you still remember that Wang Kui's rebels defeated Zhan Tai Jingming, and then the army marched into Luojing, and went to meet the saint alone?" ”

"Your Majesty has granted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince full powers to act on behalf of the emperor, and this matter is well known to the court."

Lu Baijiang was a little puzzled why Zhao Xun suddenly said this, everyone knew about this matter, and there was nothing to say.

Zhao Xun pursed his lips, approached Lu Baijiang, and said in an extremely weak tone: "When I went to see my father that day, I didn't take the initiative to go, but ..... The news came from the shepherd, the father's old illness suddenly stopped, vomiting blood, and then fell unconscious, Gu had already asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said...... I'm afraid my father won't wake up. ”

Yes!

Zhao Xun's voice was very small, but when it came to Lu Baijiang's ears, it was like a thunderstorm, which made him dizzy in his mind, and he almost fainted to the ground, and couldn't help but lose his voice.

"Once this matter spreads, I'm afraid the capital will be in chaos immediately."

Zhao Xun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly covered Lu Baijiang's mouth, and then said with a wry smile: "Lone is not ready yet!" ”

Lu Baijiang quickly returned to normal, and his whole mind immediately became highly tense, and he was also like Zhao Xuncai, walking back and forth, thinking about problems.

After a while, Lu Baijiang stopped his steps and looked at Zhao Xun: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, when you say that you are not prepared, you mean the King of Chu and the King of Wings?" ”

After thinking about it, Lu Baijiang immediately thought of the crux of the problem, Zhao Zhi spent the last few years, the most important thing he did was to fully promote Zhao Xun to the throne, after Zhao Xun became the crown prince, in order to allow him to inherit the emperor's throne smoothly and smoothly in the future, Zhao Zhi also made a lot of arrangements, whether it was the literary aspect or the martial aspect, Zhao Xun created a very solid and powerful political group, so as far as the capital is concerned, Zhao Xun's family is dominant, and there are almost no problems, so Zhao Xun said that he is not ready, refers not to Fengjing, but to outside Fengjing.
