When the prince's resignation was almost a foregone conclusion, a man in Tsing Yi suddenly broke into the mansion of Zhou Luhou, and directly accused Zhou Luhou Lutai and the Lu clan of listening to and believing partially, and obstructing the crown prince's expedition to Huainan, which was a bad cause for the crown prince to have a thousand years.

"Bold and crazy," Lu Hou took the case, "Shangshan Sihao is called virtuous in the world, and it is recommended by Liuhou, which is the view of Lao Cheng to hold the country." If you say something crazy, you should beat it out, why is it repeated by him? ”

Zhou Luhou Lu Tainuo agreed, and said aggrievedly, "Auntie, it's not that I don't know the severity of this matter, but that this madman is really not a madman with an ordinary identity. ”

"Oh?" Lu Houqi said, "Who is he?" ”

"He's ......," Lu Tai said with a name.

"It's him who ......," Lu Hou lost his voice.

If this person was just an ordinary identity, Empress Lu would naturally take the lead, but he had such an identity, she was also a little decisive for a while, her eyes fell on Liu Ying, and saw that there seemed to be a cloud gathering at the bottom of his phoenix eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Prince, this matter is closely related to you, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ying raised his head from the couch in the hall and said, "Erchen wants to go to the Lu Mansion to see what that person is saying." ”

A Xuantong carriage slowly drove into the north along Gao Street, stopped in front of Zhou Lu Hou's Mansion, the Hou Mansion was in the middle of the Xuanqi gate slowly opened, and the chief manager of Lu Mansion hurriedly greeted him, waited under the Xuan car door, and bowed in a low voice, "Cousin Da'an." ”

"Get up." The young man in Xuanyi and phoenix eyes stepped out of the car and said with a smile, "I'm just going to a relative's house today, so I really don't have to be so close to the enemy." The main entrance does not have to be opened. ”

The manager responded with a smile, bent down and respectfully greeted the young man into the house.

Lu Lu, who was dressed in purple, rushed over from Fuzhong Avenue and said to the main pipe, "I'll accompany you here, you can go down." ”

The manager answered the "promise" and bent down. Lu Lu bypassed the water pavilion in the garden because of Liu Ying, climbed a zigzag corridor, and walked a short distance, and then listened to the sound of agitated arguments in the far middle of the mountain.

"Today, the hall brother invited Shangshan Sihao and that Xu Langjun to argue with each other about the Huainan war in the mid-mountain hall," Lu Lu said with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

"No," Liu Ying shook her head, "if only you found me a room next door, so I could listen to what was going on." ”

Lu Lu thought about it, then led Liu Ying into an ear room, came to the painted cloud dragon print on the wall, unscrewed the two dragon eyes, and the scene in the mid-mountain hall was unobstructed.

Zhou Luhou Lu Tai sat on the top of the mountain hall in a dark robe, facing them on the left side stood Shang Shan Sihao, whose beard was white, and a young man in blue on the right stood with his hands in his hands, his back straight.

"If this person was just an ordinary Confucian student, talking such presumptuous nonsense, the hall brother would have beaten him out a long time ago." Lu Lu explained, "But he is the younger brother of the Ming Female Pavilion Marquis, Ah Weng and his cousin are worried that there may be a reason for the Ming Female Pavilion Marquis, so they don't dare to be good at it, and they give the queen and the crown prince, hoping that the two will decide." ”

"Well," Liu Ying nodded and smiled, "Let's hear what he has to say!" ”

In the hall, Zhou Luhou Lutai coughed lightly and asked Xu Xiangdao, "Xu Gongzi acted this time, but he got the Minghen Pavilion Marquis physiognomy technique?" ”

Xu Xiang simply arched his hand neatly and said, "No, my sister has traveled the world with my brother-in-law, and the kid hasn't seen them for a long time." ”

After the cloud dragon engraving in the ear room, Lu Lu glanced at Liu Ying without a trace, and saw a trace of disappointment flashing in the eyes of the young man in Xuanyi next to him, which was the same as Lu Tai in the hall.

"That," Lu Tai was disappointed, so he lowered his smile slightly, and bowed his hand respectfully to Shangshan Sihao, "These four old gentlemen are all sages for a while, Your Majesty and the Marquis are all praised, and they are all old and strong." Since they have already said that it is not suitable for the prince to go on an expedition to Dubu, why did Xu Gongzi dare to break into my Lu Mansion and make such ridiculous words? ”

"Is it ridiculous or a golden word," Xu Xiang looked up and smiled, "and let the boy argue clearly in front of the prince." ”

Lu Tai glanced at the ear room and said lightly, "I, Lu Mansion and His Royal Highness the Prince, are cousins, so I naturally plan for the Crown Prince wholeheartedly." If you can convince me, I will naturally invite you to see the prince later. ”

Xu Xiang smiled leisurely, rolled up his sleeves and bowed to the first four white-haired old men, "In this case, the kid is not talented, if there is any offense, please ask the four gentlemen to forgive the sin." ”

Shang Shan Sihao's expression was very ugly, and he reluctantly returned the salute, and Cui Guang, the youngest Xia Huang Gong, stroked his beard and said, "Young Master Xu, young people are a little stronger, I know." But the crown prince is the foundation of the country, you must know that the son of a daughter can't sit down. ”

"Your Majesty is still a golden body," Xu Xiang retorted, "It's not that this great Han country has been fought out of the battlefield. How can Your Majesty lead the army, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot? ”

Xia Huanggong choked and argued, "That's different." His Majesty was born brave and good at fighting, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been in battle. ”

"What kind of person is like a god from the beginning," Xu Xiang straightened his chest and said generously, "When the Marquis of Huaiyin was humiliated by his crotch, who would have expected that he would become my Han God of War one day?" I relied on a lot of generals to build the Han Dynasty, and if the prince couldn't even go to war, why should he serve the people? ”

"But when the Marquis of Huaiyin was in the middle of the day, no one expected that he would die in the Changle Deep Palace one day, and the clan would be punished." Wu Shi interjected coldly,

"Xu Langjun, the prince's status is precious, and he can't use his reputation and life to fight for a little luck. You must know that the crown prince is already the prince of the Han Dynasty, and even if he wins this battle, he will have nothing to do. But if he loses, the position is crumbling, at this time, His Majesty is old, King Zhao is still young, privately think that for the prince, then do not seek merit, but seek no fault. ”

"Wrong." Xu Xiang said loudly, "I privately think that in terms of the crown prince now, reactive power is a kind of fault. "The voice is sonorous, and there is a sound on the ground.

His words shocked everyone, smiled slightly, turned around and paced in the mid-mountain hall, "Your Majesty prefers the youngest son, everyone knows it. If the crown prince has been without merit for a long time, His Majesty will increasingly think that the prince is overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility of the national weapon, and he will be firm in his heart of easy storage. King Zhao is weak now, and he is just a child. But King Zhao will always grow up day by day, and by that time, will there be another Zhou Chang who will swear to die and not respect the emperor's order? ”

He turned around and said generously to the crowd, "The four old gentlemen only see that if the prince loses this battle, it is inevitable that the throne will be shaken. I never thought about what if the prince won? Then everyone in the world should see that the crown prince will be a qualified prince, and even His Majesty can no longer easily shake his throne. People say that there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days? Instead of being wary of King Zhao, it is better to strengthen yourself. And the battle against Duo Bu is the prince's best chance. ”

"The prince is brave and good at fighting, and the prince is young and young," Mr. Lu Li Zhou Shu retorted, "who doesn't know that if the prince wins, everything will be fine." But in fact, the number of princes is scarce, but the Han has good generals, the question is whether the prince's young age can drive them to their wishes. ”

"At this time, as the crown prince, he can't serve the generals, and when he ascends the throne one day, can he control the ministers?" Xu Xiang said loudly.

The heart of this question, the marquis of Li, Lutai and Shangshan Sihao in the hall all changed color.

Xu Xiang didn't give him a chance to react at all, and continued in one go, "I privately think that the prince has four reasons for victory; There are four reasons for the betrayal of the Han Dynasty. ”

In the hall, Lu Tai was moved, pressed down his initial contempt for Xu Xiang, and asked respectfully, "What do you say, sir?" Lu Tai was moved,

Xu Xiang smiled slightly, dusted off his brocade robe, and said with his head held high, with a noble bearing, "The prince is rebelling for the emperor's orders, and the cloth is rebelling for the princes and kings." This is the momentum, the prince will win, and the cloth will lose; The prince poured the strength of the whole country into Huainan, the princes helped, and the enemy Han army was defeated with the strength of a country, and the people rebelled and left. This is the way, the prince will win, and the cloth will lose; The prince is old and weak, and the prince is young and strong, this is the force, the prince will win, and the prince will lose; At the beginning of the world, the people are war-weary, and they will tilt the Han and despise the cloth, which is the heart of the people, and the prince will win, and the cloth will be defeated. ”

Xu Xiang's voice was sonorous, and he turned around suddenly, as if he knew that Liu Ying was listening behind the wall of the hall, and bowed in the direction of Liu Ying, "The prince has this reason for the four victories, why can't he go to war, but let his father go out with illness in person?" ”

There was a sudden silence inside and outside the hall, and I could still hear the aftermath of Xu Xiang's questioning, and a chuckle suddenly came from the ear room, Liu Ying came out of it, helped Xu Xiang up, and said, "What the son said, whether it is right or wrong, is for Lonely, and Lone dare not accept the courtesy." ”

"Sir," he walked up to Tang Bing, the Duke of the East Garden, and said ashamedly, "Mr. Ying invited Mr. out of the mountain, originally to help Ying, but now—"

Tang Bing, the prince of the East Garden, looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were calm and smiled, "The prince already has a fixed opinion in his heart, isn't he?" ”

"We're old. So he tried to be safe when he saw things, but the prince was a young man, and young people were always eager to try and want to fly. There is no right or wrong in this, and the prince doesn't have to feel that he has swept away our face. It is good for the prince to have this kind of heart. "He laughed aloud,

"How can the prince of my Han Dynasty be a person who doesn't even have the courage to fight?" Laugh and leave.

Zhou Luhou Lu Tai looked at the backs of the four old men and shook his head slightly, "I have always felt that Shangshan Sihao is a sage out of the dust, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." ”

"The eldest cousin doesn't have to be like this," Liu Ying turned around and shook her head at him slightly, "They are all loyal to the orphans, and the eldest cousin should not treat them slowly in the future." ”

Lu Tai didn't think so, but he finally responded, and Lu Lu's eyes on the side were shining, and he asked, "Your Highness, have you really decided to fight this battle?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Ying nodded, and there was a little perseverance in her phoenix eyes.

Lu Lu bowed, "I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring Ah Lu, Ah Lu is willing to follow the example of the eldest uncle Ah Weng and earn a knighthood for himself on the battlefield to come back." ”

"Nonsense," Lu Tai rebuked with a straight face, "Do you think the title is so easy to earn?"

"Okay," Liu Ying laughed, "It's rare that the sixth cousin has this heart and is alone." The titles of the two uncles also started from nothing, as long as the cousin has this heart, he will definitely get his wish in the future. ”

Lu Tai said with a smile, "It is naturally good that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ambitious, but the Queen's aunt will be worried. ”

"Lone knows." Liu Ying smiled faintly, straightened her back, and her phoenix eyes flashed with confidence and perseverance, "But Gu can't always stand behind the queen mother and not come out by himself!" ”

He glanced at Xu Xiang, walked over, and said with a smile, "Sir, would you like to be a lone ginseng and go to Huainan with Gu this time?" ”

Xu Xiang showed a hint of joy on his face, and bowed deeply, "With the eyes of His Royal Highness, dare Xiang disobey his fate?" ”
