As soon as Lu Yun left, Du Hui closed the heavy door of the palace again, and then walked to the chess scale to clean up the mess.

The initial emperor leaned on the jade leaning comfortably, and said with a leisurely smile: "This happiness came too suddenly, and the widow is still like a dream." ”

"It can be said that when the time comes, heaven and earth are working together, Your Majesty's destiny returns, and the good news is naturally coming." Du Hui replied with a smile.

"You just make the widow happy." The initial emperor scolded with a smile and said to Du Hui: "You say, how sincere is Mei Valve for the widow?" ”

"Your Majesty has his own judgment, and the old slave doesn't dare to put his beak." Du Hui shook his head with a smile and said: "However, in the past ten years, the rivers and rivers have been declining, and the days are indeed the saddest among all the valves. ”

"That's natural...... "The first emperor smiled and said: "Although the lower three valves are not treated by the old horseman, the land valve and the guard valve still have a few people to take care of them." Mei valve is not pleasing on both sides, and it is strange that life can be better. ”

"This man is very poor and will think about change. I don't know if Mrs. Mei thinks so. Du Hui said softly.

"The widow decided to believe her once," the first emperor picked up Mei Yi's letter of allegiance and said, "Hengzhu is using her to deal with the old horseman, don't worry that she will turn back." ”

"Your Majesty has already made up your mind?" Du Hui's expression was stunned when he heard this, although he was not inconspicuous, he was the most trusted one of the first emperors, and he knew all the emperor's thoughts.

"Are you determined...... In front of Du Hui, the first emperor didn't have to hide his true thoughts. After a little hesitation, he said with some distress: "I feel a little bit close." Saying that, he counted his fingers to Du Hui and said: "Now that the lower three lords have been loyal, plus my Huangfu family, it is four against four, but it is not the opponent of those four families at all." ”

"Doesn't it mean that Cui Valve is likely to be neutral?" Du Hui reminded softly.

"When it's time to do it, plan for the worst." The first emperor said cautiously: "This is a major matter related to the society, and a careless Daxuan will change hands." ”

"Your Majesty is very worried." Du Hui thought deeply and said: "Cui Lao Lingjun, that old fox, no one dares to say which side he will stand on until the end." ”

"yes, like eleven years ago." The first emperor leisurely recalled: "At that time, everyone thought that Cui Valve would support my imperial brother. But the old fox judged the situation, and at the last moment sent the Grand Master of the Valve to join the team that assassinated my imperial brother. So don't look at them, they are also full of benevolence and morality, but unlike Lu Valve's brains, Cui Valve doesn't believe in this, they will still wait until the end to see who will be the winner before placing a bet. ”

"So whether we can get the support of Cui Valve, it depends on our own strength." Du Hui concluded: "In this way, you really can't take them into account. ”

"Exactly." The Initial Emperor sat up straight, returned to his worried appearance, and said, "Let me tell you the truth, the more you reach the time to make up your mind, the more afraid the widow becomes, and he always feels that the odds of winning are not enough. ”

Saying that, the Initial Emperor Commander sighed and said: "In the final analysis, there are still too few soldiers in the hands of the widows, and Xiahou and Pei have the Zhenbei Army, the Anxi Army and the Jingying Forbidden Army in their hands, adding up to 700,000. As long as I think of this, I will pull Cui Valve and Xie Valve over, and the widow still has no confidence......"

"Well, yes. In the final analysis, if there is a real fight, it still has to rely on the army. Du Hui naturally accompanied the emperor with a sad face. But this matter, the original emperor couldn't complain about others, it was all his own sin......

Back then, although Emperor Gaozu shared his authority with the Seven Lords, he did not relax his grip on military power at all. Whether it was the Anxi army that fought against Hulu or the Zhenbei army that defended Taiping Road, there were all the sons of the Huangfu lords. The supreme commander of the Anxi Army, General Anxi, is served by Huang Fujie, a famous general of the Huangfu family.

As for the forbidden army in the capital, it is directly controlled by the emperor, how can foreign surnames be coveted?

In that case, the lords would not dare to disobey Emperor Gaozu's will at all, how could they be so arrogant and arrogant as they are today?

It is said that the Huangfu family should suffer this catastrophe, before the change of Bao'en Temple, the general of Anxi Huangfujie died of illness, and the handsome seal was temporarily held by the deputy marshal Xiahou Li. And Emperor Qianming also made a similar mistake to King Wuling of Zhao because he was not wary of his brother - he hastily handed over the forbidden army to Huangfu Yu to take charge of it, and he himself concentrated on his changes.

Who knew that Huangfu Yu was ambitious, and actually colluded with the Xiahou Valve to rebel and usurp the throne. Who knew that after the success of the change in Bao'en Temple, Xiahou Valve immediately changed his face, and with the full cooperation of Pei Valve, in the name of cutting off the remnants of Emperor Qianming, he launched an indiscriminate purge of the generals of the Huangfu family in the army.

When Huangfu Yu came back to his senses and tried to stop it, his head had already fallen to the ground and blood was flowing like a river. In the Beijing camp, the Jingguan that was piled up with the heads of the emperor's generals clearly showed the world that everything was irretrievable. The generals of the Huangfu family in the Great Xuan Army have been purged, and from then on, the Great Xuan Army is the world of Xiahou and Pei.

Faced with the butcher's knives that were still dripping blood from the two valves, Huangfu Yu was frightened, and had to hand over the Beijing camp to Pei Valve and Xiahou Valve in accordance with the wishes of the two valves, and appointed Xiahou Li to take over the seal of General Anxi...... From that day on, the joy of the successful usurpation of the throne was gone, and Huangfu Yu lived in boundless fear......

More than a decade later, the dire situation has not improved much. At present, Daxuan obeys the dispatch of the original emperor, and there are only tens of thousands of people in the Yulin Military Region who are mostly from the children of the Huangfu family......

With this army alone, how can he have a showdown with the Xiahou Valve?

As soon as he thought of this, the flame of hope that had just been ignited by the Initial Emperor was quickly extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.

He seemed to have been drained of all his strength, sat on the jade table weakly, and sighed on his back: "It seems that there is still a long way to go......

。

In that room, Lu Yun left Ziwei Palace but did not go home, but habitually turned around and went to Beishi Middle School.

The guards of the Shang family's head office are already very familiar with this Lu Dagongzi who often comes to the door. There is no need to pass through, so he immediately got out of the way and respectfully invited Mr. Lu to enter.

Since he decided to be responsible for Shang Luojia, Lu Yun naturally would no longer sneak around and do the behavior of the gentleman on the beam, and every time he came to the door openly. When he went up to the second floor, he met Shang Demao who was about to go downstairs surrounded by a group of stewards. Seeing Lu Yun coming, Shang Demao immediately waved his hand and asked those stewards to wait for him. Then he led the way to Lu Yun with a smile on his face and said, "Master Lu came to see my eldest lady again?" ”

"Yes, Steward." Lu Yun walked up the stairs and said to Shang Demao with a calm expression: "You are so busy, you don't need to personally guide the way every time." ”

"Yes, yes." Shang Demao's smile is very friendly. "What a blessing it is to be able to take the opportunity to get closer to Master Lu."
