Although Yang Tong's concubines are not many, there are more than ten of them, and Concubine Lan entered the palace a little later, suffered a loss of time, and failed to get pregnant first.

"As you just said, Weichen's daughter's belly is not necessarily a dragon." Zhu Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then the Jade Guifei must be pregnant with a dragon son?" Wechen is a businessman, and he is willing to take risks for the sake of profit. ”

Zhu Xu's answer was very direct, Empress Dowager Liu's face showed a gloomy color, she frowned, while observing the change in Zhu Xu's expression, while thinking about Zhu Xu's answer just now.

After all, having lived in the royal family for more than 20 years, even if Empress Dowager Liu is simple, she can learn something in the harem battle. When Yang Tong was driven out of Luoyang, she said to Yang Tong that the relationship between the monarch and the minister, which was the embodiment of her ability to judge the situation.

At that time, Lü Buwei scattered all his family wealth and helped Yingzheng ascend the throne, which can be described as the most successful transaction in history.

If Concubine Yu hadn't been pregnant, maybe Zhu Xu wouldn't have taken the risk of dealing with Li Xuanba.

It's a pity that there is no if, once Yu Guifei gave birth to a son, then the future monarch of Nan Sui can only be the child of Yu Guifei, after all, compared to his family background, his Zhu family is far inferior to Yu Guiren's maiden family.

However, if Li Xuanba can be removed for the royal family, then the Zhu family will have the merit of supporting, even if Lan Guifei is a princess, Lan Guifei is still young, and she can regenerate in the future.

"I didn't expect you to be so ambitious." Empress Dowager Liu quickly sorted out her thoughts, she did not admire Zhu Xu's long-term vision, but looked at Zhu Xu with idiotic eyes, and said: "Your Majesty and Zhou Guogong are brothers and sisters, as long as Zhou Guogong wants, Your Majesty is even willing to Zen him, do you think Your Majesty will agree with your idea?" ”

"Although Your Majesty is the king of a country, after all, he is young and difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, so Weichen will come to see the Queen Mother." Zhu Xu didn't seem to notice Empress Dowager Liu's gaze, and said frankly: "Wechen does have some selfish intentions, but the Empress Dowager, what Wechen planned can be described as a hundred years of merit for the court, Your Majesty and you." ”

"The world has not yet stabilized, but you are here to plot with the palace to remove the humerus of the imperial court, and you are ashamed to say that it is the work of a hundred lifetimes." The mockery between Empress Dowager Liu's eyebrows became even stronger: "For Lan'er's sake, this palace has the right today when you haven't been here, you can go." ”

Zhu Xu listened to Empress Dowager Liu's words, and his heart of persuasion became more firm.

Although Concubine Lan is pregnant, her face is really enough to make Empress Dowager Liu forget today's words? So in Zhu Xu's opinion, Empress Dowager Liu has the same thoughts as him in her heart.

"Queen Mother, do you really think that after the world is stable, there will be such an opportunity now? Your Majesty can still sit peacefully on the dragon chair? Zhu Xu stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is a good emperor, and Weichen doesn't want to see the fate of the acting king fall on Your Majesty." ”

"Opportunity? What chances? The fate of the acting king is known to the whole world, and Empress Dowager Liu hesitated for a moment and asked seemingly casually.

"Queen Mother, you know what Weichen means, and you really don't have to test Weichen." Zhu Xu saw Empress Dowager Liu's heartbeat, and said: "In addition to the ones you know, Weichen got the news today, he put all the servants and guards in the mansion home, to put it simply, the Zhou Guogong Mansion does not have any defense force now, this may be our only chance." ”

With Li Xuanba's efforts, the Southern Sui is now strong and strong, and there are many military generals, so it seems that Li Xuanba is not so important.

It is obviously unreasonable for an unimportant person to have more power than the emperor.

"What you said before, if others say it, this palace can still understand it, but if your Zhu family says it, this palace is really surprised." Empress Dowager Liu sighed lightly and said: "The Zhu family has the current status in Jiangdu, and Lan'er can enter the palace to serve Your Majesty, the reason for this, you should know better than anyone else." ”

"Zhou Guogong is kind to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family is grateful." Zhu Xu said grateful, but there was no shame on his face: "But for the sake of the majesty of the court and the royal family, Weichen had to do this." ”

Empress Dowager Liu was silent for a long time, Zhu Xu stood there quietly and waited, and after half an hour, Empress Dowager Liu came back from her confusion, she stared at Zhu Xu's eyes, and said word by word: "When did you start planning?" How sure are you? ”

"Start with Weichen succeeding as the head of the family." Zhu Xu replied: "Before you come forward, Wechen can only say that there is no chance of winning, but if you are willing to help, then Wechen is eighty percent sure." And Wechen assures that if the worst outcome happens, the whole thing will not involve you. ”

"What can Hongu do?" The less she knew, the better it was for Empress Dowager Liu, so she didn't ask anything, she knew that the price of not involving her was to protect the Zhu family and Concubine Lan.

"After all, the Zhou Guogong Mansion is in Jiangdu, and he has the courage to be invincible, so the movement of this operation will definitely not be small." Zhu Xu also knew that Empress Dowager Liu would understand what he meant, so he didn't say much, and said briefly: "You just need to ask Your Majesty to come to Fanghua Palace tonight to accompany you, and then send the palace people in the palace to Dongcheng to give you a bowl of chicken soup, and Weichen will help you deal with the rest of the matter." ”

The palace people sent out naturally couldn't come back, and Empress Dowager Liu began to think again.

Of course, she wasn't thinking about whether the palace people could live or not.

"No wonder the Zhu family chose you to be the head of the house." With a sigh, Empress Dowager Liu stood up from her seat and shouted outside the door: "Someone is coming." ”

Someone outside the door responded, not daring to come in, and the Empress Dowager Liu didn't plan to let the palace people outside the door come in, she walked to the door and ordered: "According to the recipe that the palace taught you before, go to the imperial kitchen to prepare a pot of chicken soup, and then send it to the invincible general, watch him drink it before leaving, remember, don't let anyone know about this matter!" ”

"The slave obeys." The palace people outside the door were obviously entrusted by the Empress Dowager Liu, and they were not surprised by the order of the Empress Dowager Liu, and trotted away all the way.

Zhu Xu had been in the room, and naturally heard Empress Dowager Liu's words clearly, and he suddenly felt that he was still too young.

Realizing that there might be something wrong with his plan, Zhu Xu quickly reacted, and he asked seriously: "Do you know that Weichen will come to you?" ”

"If you know, do you think this palace will send someone to deliver chicken soup?" Empress Dowager Liu turned around, smiled meaningfully, and said: "It is precisely because this palace is unaware of what you are planning that I will believe your words, as for the chicken soup, it is something that this palace has been preparing, and this palace has been waiting for people to come to Fanghua Palace, but I didn't expect that that person would be you." ”

"So you had a plan." Zhu Xu shook his head with a wry smile, and arched his hand: "Weichen has to go back and prepare, and the palace will leave it to you." ”

"The palace guarantees that the imperial city will remain quiet until the city gates are opened tomorrow." Empress Dowager Liu nodded, made a promise, paused, and said, "Before going back, this palace wants to ask a question, how do you think you can persuade this palace?" ”

"Because you are Your Majesty's mother!" Zhu Xu left this sentence and left without looking back.
