Three days later, Lu Ze successfully arrived in Xianyang, and before he had time to wash off the dust on his body, Lu Ze gathered all the Lu children in the Hussar General's Mansion in Lutai, in addition to the Lu children, there were also Ding Fu, Fu Kuan, Guo Meng, Zhu Zhen and other Lu henchmen, there were more than 20 people, and they were all generals in the army.

The Lu Group is not only Lu Ze, Lu Tai and his son, but also a large number of military veterans will be the backbone of it, if Liu Bang dares to attack the Lu Group, these backbones will immediately rebel against the Han, then a civil war will be inevitable, which is also a big reason why Liu Bang does not dare to kill the Lu Group.

In addition, Lu Ze has a very deep relationship with Xiao He, Xiahou Ying, Cao Shen, Guan Ying and other important ministers, I think at the beginning, if it wasn't for Lu Gong's money to fund Liu Bang, Liu Bang would not have the money to recruit troops and buy horses, Xiao He and they would not follow Liu Bang, now although Cao Shen and Guan Ying are dead, Xiao He and Xiahou Ying are still alive.

If it weren't for this, how could Liu Bang be soft-hearted? You must know that this scoundrel in the market can even push his own son and daughter out of the car, and even eat his old father's meat soup, how can such a black-bellied person care about the feelings of husband and wife and the feelings of kings and ministers? In his eyes, there is only a stake!

However, it must also be admitted that Liu Bang is still very good at disguising himself, he is essentially a ruthless and black-bellied man, but on the surface, he is a benevolent and generous Buddha of the Wan family, especially at critical moments, he is very good at acting, otherwise he would not let Xiao He, Zhou Bo, and Lu Ze be ruined.

In the hall of the Hussar General's Mansion, Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi, Lu Tai, Lu Chan, Lu Ze, Lu Lu and other Lu family disciples, as well as more than 20 henchmen such as Fu Kuan, have all gathered, but Queen Lu Pheasant is not among them.

Lu Shizhi's eldest son, Lu Ze, quickly asked: "Uncle, why didn't my aunt come?" ”

Lu Ze waved his hand and did not answer Lu Ze's question, it was Lu Ze's decision not to let Lu Pheasant participate in today's meeting, in Lu Ze's opinion, Lu Pheasant had obviously been messed up because of the serious illness of the crown prince Liu Ying, and having her attend the meeting would definitely seriously affect the mood of the Lu family's children and not help the Lu family make the right decision.

Lu Shizhi said: "Big brother, did you go back to Xianyang this time for the sake of sealing the king?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Ze to answer, Lu Chan said: "According to the child, my father should have been crowned king a long time ago-"

As soon as the words fell, more than 20 henchmen such as Lu Ze, Lu Lu and Fu Kuan echoed one after another, whether it was on qualifications or military merits, Lu Ze should have been crowned king a long time ago, so when the Lu family's children and more than 20 henchmen talked about it, they were all indignant and emotional.

Lu Ze sighed and asked Lu Taidao, "Tai'er, what is your opinion?" ”

Lu Tai waved his hand and replied proudly: "The child listens to his father, if his father wants to be crowned king, then he will ask for the king, and his father will not be crowned if he doesn't want to be crowned king!" ”

Lu Ze's hanging heart fell to the ground, before coming to Xianyang, what he was most worried about was that Lu Tai was young and vigorous, and he was bewitched by Lu Pheasant and had a rebellion, now it seems that Lu Tai still knows how to advance and retreat, with Lu Tai in charge of the Lu family, even if he Lu Ze dies, the Lu family will not fall in two generations, and it is not known whether it can be more prosperous.

At that moment, Lu Ze sighed and said, "Feng Wang, it is a curse or a blessing to my Lu family." ”

Lu Shizhi was puzzled and said: "Brother, it is a supreme honor to be crowned king, how can it be said to be a disaster?" ”

Lu Ze sighed: "The king is divided, and the honor is honor, but have you thought about the consequences?" ”

After saying this, Lu Ze said again: "If the king is here, my Lu clan and the Han family can still live in peace, but the king is old, once the king is not there, can the new king still maintain friendship with my Lu clan?" And Sanchuan County is located in the land of four wars, there is Chu in the south, Qi in the east, and Han Zhao in the north. Zhu Lu and his henchmen were all silent, and they had to admit that Lu Ze's worries were not groundless.

After a pause, Lu Ze said heavily: "Therefore, the feudal king splitting the country will only make my Lu clan suffer the doom of extermination, and only by serving as a minister for generations can I protect the honor of my Lu family." ”

Lu Shizhi thought about it, and said: "But my brother has not thought about it, because of my aunt, Mrs. Qi, Liu Ruyi and my Lu family have a deep grudge, once Liu Ruyi succeeds to the throne, my Lu family will also have the disaster of annihilation!" ”

Lu Ze said: "This brother has his own considerations, but you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Lu Ze is indeed thinking about this problem, the grudge between Lu Pheasant and Mrs. Qi is already very deep, and even the entire Lu Group and Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi can't be good, if the king dies, let Liu Ruyi succeed to the throne, and let Mrs. Qi be the queen mother of the Han Kingdom, then the Lu Group will definitely be in trouble.

Therefore, Liu Ruyi cannot be allowed to take the position no matter what, this is the bottom line of the Lu Group.

However, if Liu Ruyi is not allowed to take the position, then who should the Lu Group support to take the position? Although Liu Ying is Lu Pheasant's grandson, but he sees that he has a few days to live, so the Lu Group must find a candidate to replace Liu Ying as soon as possible, the King of Han has eight sons, in addition to Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi, which son is the right person?

Since he left Luoyang, Lu Ze has been thinking about this problem.

However, Lu Ze has always acted steadily, and he will never reveal his wind to anyone until he finds a suitable candidate, even if it is the second brother Lu Shizhi and the eldest son Lu Tai, Lu Ze also does not intend to disclose it, because this matter is very important, in case the news is leaked, who knows that it will not bring disaster to the rest of the king's sons?

The northern suburbs of Xianyang, Green Willow Villa.

Almost no one knew that such an inconspicuous mountain villa was actually a branch of Ebony Cliff in Xianyang, and the owner of Liu Zhuang, the holy hand of medicine who usually smiled at everyone, would actually be one of the ten leaders of Ebony Cliff!

The owner of Liu Zhuang was practicing his sword in the backyard, and an ebony dead soldier hurriedly came to report: "Commander, there is news from Ziling." ”

The owner of Liu Zhuang immediately put away the sword and decided, calculated the time, there should be a reply, although the road from Xianyang to Ziling is long, the credible pigeon flies extremely fast, and three days is enough time to fly back and forth.

After receiving the secret letter from the dead man's hand, Liu Zhuang frowned after reading it.

The commander has a big heart, and he wants to take the opportunity to assassinate Liu Bang, the king of Han? This is really not easy, you know, the veteran Xiahou Ying will not leave Liu Bang for half a step, and there are also guards such as Li Ji and Xiahou Zao who will often stay by Liu Bang's side, and the most difficult thing is Liu Bi, who has faintly become Liu Bang's personal guard!

Liu Bi is a fierce general second only to Zhou Guanfu, if you want to assassinate Liu Bang, you must try to lure Liu Bi away!

The secret letter was burned into ashes by the fire twist, and the owner of the Liu Zhuang instructed the dead man: "Go, invite Mr. Gu and Mr. Yang over immediately, and the commander has an urgent matter to discuss with the two of them." ”

"Whoa!" The dead man shook his hand and took the order.

Changle Palace, Liu Ying's sleeping palace.

Out of the door, Lu Ze sighed and said to Lu Pheasant: "As the saying goes, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, this is Ying'er's life, Ah Pheasant, you are not too sad." ”

"Brother." Lu Pheasant said sadly, "God is unfair! ”

Lu Ze was speechless, God is unfair? When has God really been just again?

After thinking about it, Lu Ze said with some concern: "Ah Pheasant, my brother knows that you hate Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi to the bone, but you can't do it again, this will not help except to make the king unhappy." ”

"Brother don't worry, my little sister knows how to do it." Lu Pheasant lowered his head, and his tone was a little cold.

Lu Ze sighed again, and said: "This king incident has made our Lu family passive, fortunately, the king is benevolent and righteous, so he did not kill our Lu family, the king is benevolent, we can't be ruthless, Ah Pheasant, don't forget, Liu Bang is your husband, but also the king of the Han Dynasty, and the king is the sky, do you know?" ”…,

Lu Pheasant still lowered his head and was silent.

Lu Ze said again: "Okay, I'll leave for my brother first, and I'll come to visit Ying'er in a few days." ”

"Congratulations to my brother." Lu Pheasant bent his knees slightly, and when Lu Ze walked away, the cold color on his face suddenly turned hideous, and he immediately instructed the female official who accompanied him, "Prepare the car immediately, this palace is going to Green Willow Villa." ”

Green Willow Villa, backyard secret room.

The owner of Liuzhuang is sitting opposite to the two old men, these two old men are the think tank of the owner of Liuzhuang, and now the ebony cliff has already become a huge intelligence agency, in addition to the main person like the owner of Liuzhuang, there are wise men like Mr. Yang and Mr. Gu, and there are a large number of cold-blooded dead soldiers who are ready to sacrifice at any time.

Lord Liu Zhuang raised the secret letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The Great Commander has issued an ebony order!" ”

Mr. Yang and Mr. Gu changed color slightly, and under the ebony order, there was no room for turnaround.

At that moment, Mr. Yang said: "Liu Bang is on his way back to Xianyang, but there are forbidden guards along the way, as well as fierce generals like Liu Bi and Xiahou Ying, so we have no chance." ”

Mr. Gu also said: "In the palace, Liu Bang also has many guards who will guard him, and the chance is also not big!" ”

The owner of Liu Zhuang also frowned and said nothing, it is indeed not easy to assassinate Liu Bang, and even the mobilization of the army may not be successful, this matter is really not an ordinary difficulty, but what the commander said is also right, this is probably the only chance to assassinate Liu Bang, usually, the ebony dead soldiers can't even get close to the wall of Weiyang Palace, but this time, someone took them into the palace.

Mr. Sheep stroked his goatee and suddenly said, "Commander, the old man has a not very mature idea. ”

When the owner of Liu Zhuang heard this, his expression suddenly moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Mr. is very clever and will never let me down, hehe." ”

Mr. Yang stretched out his right hand and stretched out three fingers, and said gloomily: "If you want to kill Liu Bang, you must first meet three conditions, one of which is in the palace; Second, Liu Wei is not in front of Liu Bang, and third, our people have the opportunity to get close to Liu Bang, if one of these three conditions cannot be met, then this assassination will definitely fail! ”
