Chapter 168: Please King Lu again
At this time, King Lu had already withdrawn from the court and no longer held power, and only made another move when Emperor Shenhao needed it.
For King Lu, this is also a good thing.
Since ancient times, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, often around the king, it is inevitable to provoke the king, the king is angry, and blood is splashed on the spot.
The news of King Lu's withdrawal from the court soon spread throughout the imperial capital, and for a time the imperial capital was also boiling.
Everyone is talking about how King Lu would quit the court, he is the emperor's uncle today.
It stands to reason that anyone can quit, but he, the imperial uncle, can't quit.
After all, this is also a part of the royal family, and withdrawing from the court makes it seem that the emperor is a little weak.
At this time, Emperor Shenhao also began to regret a little, he was just suspicious for a while, but he didn't expect to force back an imperial uncle who had been with him.
He regretted it, but he was the emperor, and he couldn't change the order every day, let alone pull down his face and beg King Lu to return to the court.
As an emperor, you must have the majesty of an emperor.
King Lu sat leisurely in the courtyard, still holding a pot of wine in his hand, and sent it to his mouth in small sips.
At this time, King Lu smiled, and his smile was so relaxed.
He hadn't had this easy time in a long time, and he was getting old, so it was time to take a break.
Before, it was just to help Emperor Shenhao take care of Shenhao Kingdom, which often exhausted him.
Qin Yi and Yun Yushu also came over at this time, and they also heard the news.
At this time, Qin Yilai just wanted to understand the situation and see what was going on.
"Here you are, sit down. ”
Qin Yi would not be polite, and sat directly next to King Lu.
"What is going on with the prince? Why did the prince suddenly withdraw from the court, could it be that the dignified imperial uncle was also framed?"
"Of course not, I retired by myself, I'm old, I've been exhausted all these years, and I want to live a quiet life. ”
Qin Yi also knew that King Lu was old, but he didn't say that he could retreat.
But if King Lu didn't say it himself, Qin Yi wouldn't ask more.
Qin Yi picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
This wine is so strong and very strong.
"It is good for King Lu to withdraw from the court, since ancient times, he has accompanied the king like a tiger, and it may not be a good thing to withdraw at this time. ”
As soon as the emperor feels threatened, he will immediately fight back, and will not even ask you if you are really a threat to him.
"Yes, it's a pity that it's a national disaster now, and the sky won't let us go easily. So I hope that you and your friends can help my Shenhao Kingdom survive this catastrophe, I am grateful, old man. ”
These are all polite words, if there is anything going on in Shenhao Kingdom, Qin Yi will definitely not stand idly by.
"Lord, don't worry, Shenhao has the grace to save my life, and I have always been on Shenhao's side. ”
King Lu knew Qin Yi's character, he just reminded him again.
Now that he has abdicated, it stands to reason that he doesn't have to work so much, and it is not impossible to come forward when Shenhao has something to do.
After all, there is no power in his hands, and the identity of the imperial uncle can only bring him some convenience.
"Qin Yi, when do you think the firmament will attack my Shenhao. ”
King Lu, who withdrew from the court, is still concerned about Shenhao's future.
"I think it should be half a year, and then the strength of the firmament will be restored, and it will be stronger than before. The fusion of the strength of the two countries is no longer something that our country can resist. Therefore, the emperor must win the hearts of the people, otherwise it will be difficult to pass this hurdle. ”
Emperor Shenhao's popular hearts have never been lost, but now it may be.
Emperor Shenhao became more and more suspicious, King Lu, as the emperor's uncle, had been invited down to the court, and the other courtiers didn't know how to feel in their hearts.
"Half a year, the time is still too short, many geniuses have not yet been cultivated, if you can fight for a year, maybe you can fight with the firmament. ”
They can't decide this kind of thing, they have to look at the upper echelons of the firmament.
If the upper echelons of the firmament were to attack Shenhao in a month's time, it would be no problem at all.
A month to prepare, a large enough firmament to launch a war to destroy the country.
Qin Yi just wanted to speak, and suddenly a sentry ran in.
"Lord Wang, find the traces of the scouts. ”
"Did you catch it?"
"Caught, but he doesn't admit to being a scout. ”
People are not stupid, and if they admit it, they will definitely die.
However, now that the scout has entered Shenhao, it means that the firmament is preparing to destroy Shenhao.
King Lu stood up anxiously, ready to go out to interrogate the scout.
As soon as he stood up, he was pulled down by Qin Yi, and King Lu landed peacefully on the chair.
"Lord Wang, now that you have withdrawn from the court, there are many things that are inconvenient for you to come forward. Since it is a matter in the court, let the people in the court solve it. ”
Since he chose to withdraw from the court, it is best not to care about anything, otherwise he can still make the emperor suspicious.
Hearing this, King Lu also calmed down.
He was too impulsive just now, or rather used to it.
Qin Yi's reminder was just enough to calm him down.
"Also, there are so many people in the court, there must be someone who can handle this matter. ”
The people who can stand in the court are not fools, they are just a bunch of old foxes.
They also understand that they are valuable only when Shen Hao is there.
If Shen Hao is defeated by the firmament, there is no benefit to them at all.
They also didn't want Shen Hao to fall, unless, of course, the strength of the firmament was already unstoppable.
"That's right, let's go on drinking, and we don't care about anything else. ”
Qin Yi filled another cup and drank another cup with a grunt.
Qin Yi's alcohol consumption is poor, this is normal.
After two cups, Qin Yi was already about the same.
The trio had been drinking until dark.
At this time, Du Qingsheng and Gu Kai'an also came, and they were very concerned about the scout.
They hope that King Lu can return to the court and prevent those chaotic ministers and thieves in the court from emptying the emperor.
These courtiers who have thought of overthrowing the Son of Heaven are even more terrifying than the army of the firmament.
Their infighting is actually internal friction.
There was King Lu staring at them in the court before, and they didn't dare to go too far.
Now that Emperor Shenhao is missing an arm, these people below may be deceived and deceitful.
This is all normal that the only royal family above the court has withdrawn, and the rest are people who are not related to the Shenhao royal family.
These people think more about what kind of benefits they can get.
"Qin Yi, you hurry up and go to the Wuzong realm to help the emperor's hand, King Lu has abdicated, and there are few people below who are loyal to the emperor, they are all loyal to their own interests. ”
Du Qingsheng saw the situation more thoroughly, and Qin Yi also knew this.
But nothing was in a hurry, and Qin Yi hoped to be able to go with the flow.
What the court has become, he Qin Yi can't control it, mainly depends on what Emperor Shenhao thinks.
In fact, the decision is in the hands of Emperor Shenhao, and the key is how he uses the power in his hands.
"It's normal to be true to your own interests. The same is true for the royal family, if you win the world, you will not give up your position. If the royal family is really selfless, wouldn't it be better to abdicate voluntarily? This will reduce the bloodshed of the people of Shenhao, and the world will be unified again. ”
"You say that humanity is terrible. ”
"In fact, human nature is the most unavoidable test, and once it is tested, 1️ it will be absolutely over. Therefore, what we care about is not whether he is loyal or not, but to balance his power, and absolutely not to create a situation where one family is dominant. If it really becomes a dominant situation, then the emperor is very likely to be set aside. ”
Qin Yi only smiled at this, he believed that Emperor Shenhao's wisdom would definitely be able to balance the interests of all parties.
"Okay, don't talk about government affairs in my house, the old man has abdicated, and it's useless to discuss it again. ”
It can be seen that King Lu still wants to return to the court.
It's not that he is greedy for power, it's just that now Shenhao's situation is very embarrassing, he can't beat the firmament, and he may not be able to stop it.
When he returned to the court, he actually just wanted to do something for Shen Hao, even if he cultivated a few more combat powers, it would be a good thing.
Qin Yi didn't want to say this, but he couldn't hold back for a while.
Now that King Lu has reminded them, they can't continue to talk about it.
All night, Yun Yushu was like a mute, and he didn't make a sound, talking to others.
The look of being preoccupied made Qin Yi very suspicious.
He even wondered if Yun Yushu was plotting something in his heart, and it was a bad thing.
This suspicion was only fleeting, and it was quickly forgotten by Qin Yi.
Although Yun Yushu is strong, he is just a newcomer, and he doesn't have any resources in his hands to win people over.
After a while, another soldier came to report that he had caught another scout.
Now the scouts' missions are very frequent, and they don't know how much information they have collected in the Shenhao Kingdom.
These are all needed in wartime, and only by understanding the details of the enemy can you know whether you can fight others.
Everyone present broke out in a cold sweat and caught another one so quickly.
It seems that there are really a lot of scouts in this imperial capital, and there must be big moves in the court next.
It is impossible for Emperor Shenhao to let these scouts come and go freely in the imperial capital, and what should be cleaned up must be cleaned up.
The news soon spread to the palace, and the palace was also very angry.
Caught two scouts in one day, is this what people do?
These scouts also reminded Emperor Shenhao to be careful and to quickly improve his national strength.
Otherwise, there will only be death + country.
Emperor Shenhao wanted to find someone to talk to, but after thinking about it, only King Lu could talk to him and give him ideas.
He couldn't trust the others, and he was even more worried about telling them everything.
Emperor Shenhao felt a cross in his heart and drove to King Lu's mansion.
No one in the palace dared to stop the emperor's drive, and Emperor Shenhao soon came to King Lu.
Seeing that King Lu was drinking with so many people, he put up his emperor stand again.
Qin Yi and the others saw Emperor Shenhao holding up the shelf, so they naturally knew what he meant.
It's just that they have something to tell King Lu, and it's not convenient for them to listen.
Qin Yi and the others were very knowledgeable and automatically resigned.
After leaving King Lu's mansion, Qin Yi and the others went back to rest.
Emperor Shenhao was still a little uneasy, so he specially sent someone to see if Qin Yi and the others had left.
After getting the reply, Emperor Shenhao was about to speak.
"Uncle Huang, it's me who is wrong, I should let you quit the court, Uncle Huang knows that the current court is smoky, and I really don't have an eye to see it. ”
How is this court, King Lu knows better than anyone else.
When he was still there before, there were still people in the royal family in the court, but now, Emperor Shenhao is alone.
This situation can only be blamed on Emperor Shenhao's suspicion, but fortunately, Emperor Shenhao also woke up in time and did not come to a desperate situation.
It's not too late for King Lu to go back now, but whether King Lu is still willing to go back at this time is a huge question.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows that the people in the court now have great selfishness, some of them are unwilling to contribute to my Shenhao country, and some want to get more benefits. But since Weichen has withdrawn from the court, he doesn't want to go back. The life of Xianyun and Wild Crane may be what Weichen wants most. ”
King Lu rejected Emperor Shenhao's request, and as soon as he was invited, he seemed to be a little greedy for power.
Emperor Shenhao would not give up just yet, after all, he needed King Lu's help now.
"Uncle Huang, as a member of the royal family, do you want to watch Shenhao fall apart? Uncle Huang, I really know that I am wrong, so you go back to help me, and also help us Shenhao. You also know that the firmament is eyeing us, and if there is civil strife, they will be even happier, and maybe they will attack our Shenhao soon. ”
King Lu frowned and thought carefully for a moment.
It is true that Emperor Shenhao is unable to support himself now, and it is only natural for him to go back to help.
Since the emperor said so, then Weichen went back. But now is not the time, seven days from now. ”
As long as King Lu is willing to agree, then it will be fine, and after seven days, it will be seven days later.
Thinking about it, in the past seven days, he, the emperor, has not yet reached the time when he is being set up, and the strength of his courtiers has not yet reached that point.
"Uncle Huang, thank you for Shen Haoguo. ”
The reason for letting King Lu out of the mountain was not that he was Emperor Shenhao, but that of the entire Shenhao Kingdom.
If he wants to keep the Shenhao Kingdom, the first thing he does is not to let the court be chaotic.
Emperor Shenhao also picked up a glass of wine at this time, put it to his lips and drank it all.
Emperor Shenhao was a lot more relaxed now, after all, King Lu had already agreed to his request.
"Uncle Huang, it's been a long time since I've been sitting and talking to you like this. ”
He used to be very close to this imperial uncle, just like father and son.
At that time, he had not yet ascended the throne, and he was still the crown prince.
is like father and son with King Lu, they are together all day long, drinking together and talking about state affairs.
This glass of wine reminded Emperor Shenhao of many things in the past.
With infinite emotion in his heart, recalling all the past, he doubted that his imperial uncle seemed to be like that.
Everyone in the world may oppose him, but this imperial uncle will not.
"Yes, since the emperor was in power, Weichen has never seen the emperor so relaxed. ”
The uncle and nephew looked at the sky, both reminiscing about what had happened.
Everything used to be so fascinating, but there's no going back.
"Uncle Huang, your departure has made me aware of one thing, I am afraid that there are spies in the court, or they have been infiltrated by the firmament. ”
Although it is only a feeling, the sixth sense of the person should not be doubted, it is very powerful.
