Chapter 191: Chu Yun offers advice
Chu Yun remembered the desperate eyes of the woman in purple before she fainted, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
Of all the debts in the world, love debts are the most difficult to repay.
Lu Pheasant sent someone to come, and Chu Yun understood her intentions, so he followed the envoy into the palace.
"Hearing that the general has returned to Chang'an, the palace is very happy." Lu Pheasant said.
Chu Yun saluted and said with a smile: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the minister is deeply honored."
He didn't bow down, when Liu Bang asked him to go out of the mountain to face the Wei army, he promised him that he would not worship the king, even if Lu Pheasant was the queen, he only had to salute.
"But when I heard that the general came to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to visit Mrs. Bo, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Lu Pheasant's voice turned cold, and he forced his eyes to look at Chu Yun.
She leans towards the government and the opposition, and she is clear about the situation in the court, and what happened in Chang'an can't escape her eyes.
"The minister did this for the sake of the queen." Chu Yun was very calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
If you change to someone else, you are afraid that your feet will tremble and you will kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Oh, did you go to see Madame Bo for the sake of this palace?" Lu Pheasant sneered.
Mrs. Bo is Liu Bang's favorite concubine, Chu Yun is known as the world's first think tank and first general, and when she met Mrs. Bo secretly, Lu Pheasant had to be concerned.
Chu Yun nodded and said, "The minister doesn't dare to say anything!"
Lu Pheasant didn't dwell on it anymore, returned to the topic, and said, "Does the general know what this palace is looking for you?"
Chu Yun said with a smile: "If the minister says that he doesn't know, I'm afraid the queen won't believe it."
Lu Pheasant said: "Since the general knows, then I want to listen to the general's strategy!"
Chu Yun saw Lu Pheasant pressing step by step, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted a wipe of the corners of his mouth, and Lu Pheasant motioned to invite him to tea, and he was not pretentious.
He sipped the tea and said indifferently: "This matter is very tricky!"
When Lu Pheasant heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "The general's intention is to solve it for the palace?"
Chu Yun said, "It will take some time."
Lu Pheasant said: "Please also ask the general to give advice!"
Chu Yun was silent for a long time, and Lu Pheasant had been waiting very respectfully and did not disturb him.
"I need to see His Majesty and find out what he has to say before I can come up with a solution." Chu Yundao.
Lu Pheasant was silent, and Chu Yun continued: "The Empress should understand how difficult this matter is, even if she wants to change His Majesty's mind, she must meet him."
"The general is very right, I will arrange this matter." Lu Pheasant said, Chu Yun is one of the few people in the government and the opposition who can convince Liu Bang, Chen Ping and Zhang Liang are not in Chang'an, after she has contact with Chu Yun, she knows that he is resourceful.
Chu Yun nodded, he rubbed his sleeves, and said, "The queen must not let Your Majesty know that we have met, otherwise it will be difficult for Your Majesty to listen to the advice of the ministers."
Lu Pheasant said: "Okay!"
Chu Yun returned to dispose of it, and that night, Liu Bang immediately sent a minister to invite him into the palace.
Lu Pheasant's work efficiency is very high, Liu Bang lives in the palace, and it doesn't take half a day for Liu Bang to know that he appeared in Chang'an.
When Chu Yun saw Liu Bang, his condition became more serious, lying on the bed, and it was difficult to get out of bed.
"Your Majesty."
Chu Yun was about to salute, and Liu Bang said: "General Chu, don't be polite, come and give a seat."
Liu Bang's face was very bad, he looked at Chu Yun, and said with a smile: "General Chu is really my nobleman, whenever I encounter a problem, the general will appear in time."
Chu Yun said: "The minister is afraid, and His Majesty is concerned, and he is willing to share it for His Majesty."
Liu Bang told Chu Yun the whole story, and wanted Chu Yun to come up with a good plan.
"Your Majesty is worried that if you take the queen, it will cause turmoil in the court and be detrimental to the country, and you are worried that the queen will hold too much power, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty's cronies and heirs." Chu Yundao.
Liu Bang nodded and said, "Exactly, that's why I want the general to help."
Empress Lu monopolized power, the dictatorship of the Lu family, and the court were all controlled by the Lu family, as the mother of a country, her status was noble, and if she was killed, it would definitely cause a backlash from the Lu family.
If he is not killed, his concubine, heirs and the royal family surnamed Liu may all be poisoned by Lu Pheasant.
Liu Bang was in a dilemma and couldn't come up with a good idea.
Chu Yun said: "Your Majesty wants to see how the queen treats her heirs and concubines, it is better to pretend to be seriously ill, no one is allowed to visit the sick, and first hand over the government to the prince, Chen Ping, Xiao He and other ministers to assist, in order to test the queen's actions!"
Liu Bang thought about it, felt that Chu Yun was reasonable, and said, "The general wants me to temporarily put aside my control over the court and hide in the dark to monitor the queen's actions."
"If she poisons my concubine and the heirs of my cronies, I will come out again to punish her?"
Chu Yun said: "Exactly, what does Your Majesty think?"
Liu Bang smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, the general can do his best for me, I am very pleased."
He ordered someone to reward Chu Yun with something, so he ordered his palace to be blocked, even the queen was not allowed to enter or leave, the crown prince acted as the government of the court, and Xiao He, Chen Ping, Cao Shen and others were auxiliary ministers.
When Lu Pheasant heard the news, he hurriedly found Chu Yun and asked him what the reason was.
Chu Yun said: "The minister has found out His Majesty's intentions."
Lu Pheasant asked, "Please let me know!"
"The minister wants to ask the queen, what is Your Majesty afraid of?" Chu Yun asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty is afraid that this palace will favor his heirs and concubines and the Liu family." Lu Pheasant said truthfully.
"Your Majesty also said the same thing to the minister." Chu Yundao.
Since Lu Pheasant is self-aware, he can save a lot of tongues.
"Your Majesty is forbidden, no one can see him, who knows if he will suddenly issue a holy decree to give death to the palace!" Lu Pheasant was worried and said.
Chu Yun said with a smile: "Actually, the queen should not be too pessimistic, things still have a turning point."
When Lu Pheasant heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "Please also ask the general to conspire."
Chu Yun said: "Your Majesty strictly forbids anyone to visit, and temporarily handing over the government to the crown prince, in fact, you want to test what the queen will do?"
"Is it to act as the king of Liu and kill the princes and concubines, or do the queen's duty?"
"What does the general mean as long as the main palace does nothing, it will be fine?" Lu Pheasant asked.
Chu Yun shook his head and did not speak.
"Please also tell the general what I should do to defuse it." Lu Pheasant said.
Chu Yun said: "The queen not only does things, but also does things that His Majesty can see and rest assured!"
Lu Pheasant listened quietly, she saw Chu Yun fall into deep thought again, and waited very quietly.
After several hours, her face remained unchanged, and she did not make a sound.
"You still have to wait, the queen won't do anything for the time being, when the time comes, the minister will give the queen a satisfactory answer!" Chu Yun said suddenly.
"The general has time, but the palace has few days." Lu Pheasant said.
She sits like pins and needles every day, every moment is torment, and if she waits for another day, she feels tormented.
"There is no overnight thing in the world, if the queen wants to resolve the crisis, she needs to wait, if she is too anxious, it will only backfire." Chu Yundao.
Although Lu Pheasant couldn't wait to solve the matter, Chu Yun said that she had her own way and needed her to wait patiently.
Lu Pheasant sent Chu Yun away and sent people to monitor Chu Yun day and night.
