Since that day, when the emperor personally appointed Lu Zheng as the commander-in-chief in the court and ordered him to go to the northwest with 20,000 soldiers and horses, the prince and Lu Zheng felt that it was wrong.

In the past few days, the prince and Lu Zheng have been secretly investigating whether Wang Depu and others have any conspiracy.

But what made them strange was that these people didn't move all the time.

This really doesn't fit in with Wang Depu's usual style.

You must know that the Great Prince's Party headed by Wang Depu has always been at odds with the princelings.

But this time, Wang Depu suddenly silenced and didn't say anything, even the people of their faction are all honest and well-behaved.

But it was because they were too honest that the prince was even more uneasy.

There must be something wrong with them, they were negligent.

On this day, the prince took the opportunity to visit Duke Wen Guo and met Lu Zheng privately in the Mansion of Duke Wenguo.

Wen Guogong felt the wind and cold, and he hadn't participated in the small court meeting for two days.

As the maternal uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the identity of Duke Wen Guo is extraordinary, and there are countless people who have come to visit the Duke of Wen in the past two days.

But most of them were turned away.

The reason is also very sufficient, Wen Guogong is still sick, it is not suitable to see guests, and no one can say anything.

Who makes the status of the family noble, not the ordinary family can match.

However, most of the people who visit the sick cannot be seen, but some people still have to be seen.

For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has a valuable status.

Another example is Lu Zheng, the prince of Zhenguo.

These two, one is the nephew of Wen Guogong, and the other is the son of Wen Guogong's close friend, and their identities are extraordinary.

It's normal to sit down and have a cup of tea together.

However, drinking tea is fake, and talking about things is real.

The place where we talked about things was not anywhere else, but in the room of Duke Wenguo.

And the outside world thinks that Wen Guogong, who can't get out of bed with a cold and fever, is far less serious.

The wind chill is indeed real.

How can the pulse of the imperial doctor personally diagnosed by the emperor be wrong.

It's just that it's not as serious as the imperial doctor's diagnosis.

Wen Guogong blew his body in the night wind and contracted the wind cold, but after covering it all night and sweating, he was already much better.

However, the news was not released to the outside world.

Not only did it not be released, but it was also somewhat exaggerated.

Therefore, the outside world thinks that Wen Guogong's typhoid fever this time is very serious.

This is not the case.

The reason why I didn't release the news that I was about to recover from my illness was for today.

It was inconvenient for the prince and Lu Zheng to meet in private, and the Wenguo Mansion became the best place for the two of them to meet.

Those who suspect that the Great Prince Party has a conspiracy are naturally not only the crown prince and Lu Zheng.

Wen Guogong also had this suspicion.

As a leading figure of the princelings, he has been fighting with Wang Depu Ming for many years.

This time Lu Zheng's expedition was proposed by the prince.

In the past, many and a half of the prince's political views had to refute them.

But this time, Wang Depu and his entourage, the attitude before and after the change is too great.

If they don't have a conspiracy, they don't believe it.

"Wang Depu, the old fox, has the deepest scheming, the more he is like this, the more he holds back his big moves." Wen Guogong was the first to speak.

He has been fighting with Wang Depu for many years, and he naturally understands Wang Depu.

"Lone thinks the same way," the prince continued, "but Lone and Lu Zheng secretly sent someone to investigate, but they have found nothing, if you want your uncle to guess, what do you think Wang Depu is most likely to do?" ”

Although the prince and Wen Guogong have a close relationship, in front of Wen Guogong, he does not dare to get along with Lu Zheng and them in private, without a fight.

There's no way around it.

Whoever makes Wen Guogong good in everything is a bit old-fashioned, always reminding the prince not to break the rules.

Therefore, when the prince talks to Wen Guogong, he also calls himself lonely to show that his identity is different.

Wen Guogong heard the prince's question, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Does he want to do something with grain and grass?" Let Lu Zheng lose the battlefield because of the grain and grass problem? But with the minister's understanding of him, he is not like such a self-defeating person, this time the grain and grass are raised, and the military department is in charge, if there is a problem with the grain and grass, he, the secretary of the military department, will not bear the brunt? But if he didn't, what could he do? According to the analysis of the ministers, they just wanted Lu Zheng to lose on the battlefield, and used it to attack you, and they strongly recommended Lu Zheng as the commander in chief with the emperor. ”

The crown prince had the same doubts, and he was also unanswered.

Therefore, after Wen Guogong's words were finished, he frowned again and fell into silence.

At this time, Lu Zheng, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Could they be people who want to install themselves by my side?" In other words, this person has actually been inserted, so they have not moved, if this is the case, then no matter how we check, they will remain silent. ”

In fact, he had this idea early on, so he specially asked Lu Wen to secretly check the people around him.

However, after Lu Wen checked, he still didn't find anything wrong.

Therefore, he has never spoken this idea.

But he has been thinking about this question repeatedly for the past few days, and no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that this possibility is the greatest.

"Lu Zheng's suspicion is not impossible," Wen Guogong obviously agreed with Lu Zheng's idea, "Wang Depu is a person, he is very cautious in what he says and does, and he never does things that he is not sure of, and now Lu Zheng is about to go on the expedition, but he suddenly became honest and did nothing, there are only two possibilities, either he is really holding back some great big moves, or, as Lu Zheng suspects, he has already arranged everything, so he is calm and relaxed, and he doesn't need to do anything at all, now it seems that Or the latter is more likely, earlier we thought left, our eyes were just staring at the grain and grass, and we didn't expect this. ”

"Uncle is right, and Lone also thinks that this is more likely." The prince also nodded in agreement.

"Then Lu Zheng, do you think there is something wrong with you around you?" Wen Guogong looked at Lu Zheng and asked.

As soon as he finished asking, the prince also looked at Lu Zheng, waiting for him to answer.

"In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Wen, Lu Zheng didn't dare to hide it, in fact, because of this suspicion, Lu Zheng had sent his henchmen to secretly and carefully check the people around him, but he didn't find that there was someone wrong."

As soon as Lu Zheng's words came out, the prince and Wen Guogong couldn't help but be disappointed.

I thought this was the most likely possibility, but who knows, it still didn't come to fruition.

In this way, the situation has fallen into a stalemate again?
