Chapter 333: You Come to Be Emperor
After seeing Lu Chaoxi come out, Li Chengzong saw his nephew Li Xuanhao, standing not far away, as if waiting for him.
He stopped and looked at his rival with the taste of a victor in his eyes.
"Xuan Hao, are you waiting for me?"
"Uncle Thirteen......" Li Xuanhao couldn't laugh out.
"How about being one step ahead of me, how did you talk to Patriarch Lu?"
Li Xuanhao had an iron face, although he didn't speak, but this face revealed the situation clearly.
Seeing this, Li Chengzong was even happier in his heart.
To be honest, I just heard that when Li Xuanhao went to see Lu Chaoxi, the head of the Lu family, as soon as possible, Li Chengzong panicked in his heart.
Can you not panic? Fools know the current situation.
Although his father had just died and died at the hands of the Lu family, Li Chengzong shed some tears in front of outsiders at most, and he actually had something particularly sad in his heart...... In fact, there are, the imperial family, or the power of the emperor, I am afraid that it will not be as big as before.
As for my father, a little bit later.
And, even if it's a puppet emperor, so what?
The power is greatly reduced, and he can only be a puppet throne, or the competition for the throne fails, if he is chosen, others don't know, anyway, he will definitely choose the former with his eyes closed.
It's not that he doesn't know his biggest competitor, if Li Xuanhao gets on the throne, he won't have to live.
I believe that the same is true for Lee Hyun Hao. Because if Li Chengzong became the emperor, he would not let his nephew live.
In fact, Li Chengzong didn't know much about the whole overall situation and his father's plan before this.
But you can guess it.
When Lu Qing Lu Ancestor, the real body descended on the palace and told the facts, combined with his conjecture, he immediately realized that what Lu Qing said was true.
Then, he and a group of direct descendants of Emperor Yan were taken away by the Lu family monks and taken care of by them.
In terms of treatment, they are not treated badly, they have everything they should have, but don't think about freedom of movement, they can only move in a demarcated area.
People can't move, and their brains can't be idle.
Li Chengzong quickly figured out that the good days of the Li dynasty were gone, and if he wanted to be the emperor of real power in the future, it would be no fun.
But it's better to be a puppet emperor than not to be a puppet emperor.
Moreover, this puppet emperor is not so easy to be if he wants to.
In this matter, the person who really has the final say is still the Yunxiao Sect.
But now, where did he go to contact the people of the Cloud Heaven Sect?
Thinking about it carefully, the power of the Lu family now looks very strong. Moreover, this time the matter of Yandu, I heard that Lu Qinglu Ancestor did it with all his might. In the future, the Lu family should have a great say in how to deal with the imperial court.
But...... After all, Lu Qing killed his father, if he threw himself too quickly to kill his father's enemy, would he look too ugly?
But after just hesitating, he heard the news that his nephew Li Xuanhao was already in action.
So shameless?
You're shameless, so what more face do I need?
Li Chengzong and the Lu family have an old relationship, but who knows how unscrupulous his nephew will be? What if Li Xuanhao sells the Li family and the imperial court even more ruthlessly?
No, I'll have to sell it quickly.
Anyway, they all came out to sell, relying on his friendship with the Lu family, Li Chengzong felt that he should still be able to sell better than Li Xuanhao.
And so it turned out.
After walking around in front of his nephew in the posture of a victor, he returned to his small room with a radius of less than ten feet, and secretly pondered again:
"Although it looks like I should be able to win, but Li Xuanhao, this kid, is always a trouble to live. ”
"In the future, I will inherit the throne, and I still have to find a way to kill him......"
"This has to be planned carefully, after all, when you become a puppet emperor in the future, you may not have so much power......"
"But if you kill Li Xuanhao, it shouldn't provoke the Yunxiao Sect or the Lu family, right?"
Li Chengzong is dreaming of becoming an emperor, and on the other hand, his nephew Li Xuanhao has not yet given up.
Although Li Xuanhao knew that the situation was already very critical, he had to find a way to fight and couldn't sit still.
......
The filth between Li Chengzong and Li Xuanhao, the uncles and nephews, Lu Chaoxi also knew about it.
Not only did he shake his head a little, but the first thought that came to his mind was to reflect on the Lu family:
"We still have to pay attention to it in the future, our Lu family can't produce this kind of offspring......
I still have lingering palpitations.
As the patriarch, the emperor of a country, and the most powerful monk in the family, Li Shiwen should be the spiritual leader of the Li royal family and the pillar of everything. But after his death, the atmosphere of the entire Li royal family was really weird enough in Lu Chaoxi's opinion.
He was already ready for the royal family to riot as a whole. Even if my father came in person and issued a warning, it probably wouldn't be of much use. After all, this is a deep hatred and hatred that does not share the sky, and if they don't resist, it is obvious that their Li clan will become dust in history, and this fish will have to resist if the net is broken, right?
As a result, it didn't.
Lu Chaoxi's prediction that the Lu family would probably spend a lot of effort in suppressing the Li royal family did not happen at all. Even if the royal family asked the royal family to hand over all the emperor's bloodlines, they also handed over obediently......
Then, they have already become captives, Li Chengzong and Li Xuanhao are still fighting for the position of a puppet emperor, tearing each other apart, and even wanting to put each other to death, and even have no face at all, to collude with the enemy who killed his father......
This incident had some impact on Lu Chaoxi.
Although the Lu family can't see this kind of sign for the time being, he decided that in the future, he should pay good attention to the spiritual civilization construction of the family.
And back to the moment, Lu Chaoxi actually considered who would be the puppet emperor between Li Chengzong and Li Xuanhao.
Of course, he knew that the final decision on this matter was in the hands of the Cloud Sky Sect. But no matter what, their Lu family at least has the right to make suggestions. Moreover, with Li Xuanhao and Li Chengzong both under the control of the Lu family, even if the two of them wanted to find the people of the Yunxiao Sect to make any deals, they would not have a chance.
According to this thinking, basically which one the Lu family supports, it can almost be decided.
Anyway, it's a puppet emperor, and it doesn't matter who it is to the Yunxiao Sect.
In fact, it doesn't have much to do with the Lu family.
Which of these two people becomes this puppet emperor, won't the imperial court still have to be a dog in front of Yunxiao Sect and Qingfeng Gate in the future? It is nothing more than treating Yunxiao Sect as the big master and Qingfeng Gate or the Lu family as the small master.
In a sense, whether it is Li Chengzong or Li Xuanhao, there is no capital for trading now.
In trading, you have to be able to come up with something, and you have to have the strength to protect the results of the transaction. And the two of them, or the Li royal family, and even the entire imperial court system, now have neither the power to protect themselves, nor the things they can take out and sell.
All the actions of the two of them now, in Lu Chaoxi's view, are not making a transaction, and they are not even selling. At best, they are just begging.
Since it's begging, give it a little more pleasing to the eye, and there should be no problem.
Among these two people, although Lu Chaoxi is not eye-catching, he is relatively more pleasing to the eye than Li Chengzong. In any case, this Li Chengzong was more or less helpful to the Lu family back then, but Li Xuanhao had the experience of going against the Lu family, and he was not liked by Lu Chaoxi.
This matter, he is almost decided.
In his mind, if his father didn't ask about it, he didn't need to report it.
It's a trivial matter, don't bother your father.
Now the fighting on the Pingzhou front is almost over. Subsequently, we had to start discussing with Yunxiao Sect about the rebuilding of order in the Yan Kingdom after the war. When the time comes, he will talk to Yunxiao Sect about this matter, and he should be able to keep it stable and let Li Chengzong ascend to the throne.
Just thinking like this, his father's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Chaoxi, there is something I want to tell you. ”
Lu Chaoxi is very accustomed to the ability of his father to be tens of thousands of miles away without borrowing foreign objects and clearly transmitting sound in place.
"Father, please speak. After responding, he habitually waited for his father's instructions.
However, Lu Qing's next sentence made Lu Chaoxi, who had always been steady and down-to-earth, almost jump.
"You should be the Emperor of Dayan. ”
"Ha ???"
......
Let me be emperor?
I didn't expect that.
Lu Chaoxi was a little panicked in his heart.
Intellectually, the current position of Emperor Dayan is nothing remarkable. However, from the emotional point of view, from the first reaction, the word 'emperor' always has some special meaning.
Since Lu Chaoxi was born, even when he was young and fantasizing, he thought that he would become a great monk who stood up to the sky, that he would lead his family to rise all the way, and even imagined that he could become a true immortal.
But I really never imagined that I would become an emperor.
In fact, in the Yan Kingdom, not to mention the ethereal true immortals, even if you want to achieve the Fa phase, it is much more difficult than being an emperor.
But that's not how it works, the emperor, after all, represents the pinnacle of secular power. Nominally, the most powerful man in a country.
It was a truly special experience.
After the emotional shock, Lu Chaoxi's sanity quickly returned to the line and began to analyze the pros and cons.
He thought for a moment and said, "Father...... Is this a foregone conclusion?"
He wouldn't think that this matter was a decision made by Lu Qing after thinking about it casually. Lu Qing's combat power and influence in this battle are top-notch, so that the entire Yan Kingdom cannot be ignored.
But after all, there is such a behemoth as the Yunxiao Sect sitting on it, and it doesn't matter which person from the Li royal family sits in the position of this emperor, but if it is replaced by the Lu family, it is a very important thing. To be able to make such a decision, Lu Chaoxi believes that his father must have had a very clear communication with Yunxiao Sect.
"Not really. Lu Qing replied, "What do you think?"
"I don't know if it's good or bad. ”
Next, Lu Chaoxi said his thoughts without any reservations.
"The benefits are naturally there, after my Lu clan becomes the Great Yan Imperial Family, no matter what the Yunxiao Sect above, at least, we will become the orthodox rulers of Great Yan above the name, and the entire imperial court system will be used by me, and the influence of the family will be able to quickly get out of the restrictions of Feiyun Prefecture and spread to the entire Yan Kingdom. ”
"Our previous plan was to bring Jinzhou and half of Jizhou into the family's sphere of influence. If the throne is in my Lu family, then this will be of great help to us to quickly take over Jinzhou and Jizhou, and a lot of resistance will naturally disappear. If you really encounter opponents, you can crusade against the unsubordinate in the name of the imperial court, and the division will be famous. ”
"But there are also many disadvantages. ”
"The throne is not only a symbol of power and legitimacy, but also a shackle. Taking history as a mirror, Yunxiao Sect's vigilance against the Dayan royal family has always been very serious. After we become royal, this kind of vigilance is unlikely to drop or decrease, and even after Li Shiwen's attempt to break through, it will become more serious. ”
"Secondly, the Li royal family has ruled Dayan for more than three thousand years. They are regarded as true orthodoxy in the Yan Kingdom, and it is debatable whether we can make good use of the name of 'orthodoxy' after we take over. Compared with supporting Li Chengzong as a puppet emperor, if we directly become the emperor of Yan State, then some contradictions that could have been hidden and alleviated are likely to be detonated in advance. ”
......
Lu Chaoxi talked a lot in one breath, and in this process, Lu Qing always listened carefully by the side and did not express any opinions.
It wasn't until Lu Chaoxi finished speaking that he cautiously asked, 'What is your father's opinion?' before he spoke:
"There are a lot of things that I think about the same way. ”
"Uh...... What was my father's decision?"
"I haven't agreed to the Yunxiao Sect yet, isn't this here to ask your opinion first? Tell me about your final judgment, do you think we should agree or refuse?"
"I think it's better to refuse. Lu Chaoxi said, "By helping Li Chengzong up, we can also take advantage of the righteousness of the imperial court." Moreover, many contradictions will not explode directly in our hands, and the pressure we face will be much, much less. ”
After listening to his son's opinion, Lu Qing finally expressed his opinion:
"But I think that if this opportunity is missed, it will be very difficult to get it back in the future. ”
"You also know that if you support another Li family member and become the Great Yan Emperor, it is true that it is a puppet, but it is not necessarily a puppet of the Lu family......"
"The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Li royal family has ruled Dayan for thousands of years. When there is an orthodox emperor in the imperial court, what will the traditionalists in your mouth and those who support them as orthodox think of us who kill kings in their eyes? Jinzhou and Jizhou, can they live in peace?"
"The most important thing is that if we are not emperors, won't the Yunxiao Sect be wary of us? I'm afraid, it will only be more vigilant. ”
