Chapter 595, Loyal to the Monarch Without Regrets (2)
This person has a majestic appearance, gray hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a sick expression, which is the current saint - Zhu Zhao!
He was dressed in a golden dragon robe and a jade crown, and was over seventy years old.
At this moment, in the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Zhao sat on the dragon chair with a heavy heart.
Beside him, an old man was expressionless and silent.
On the opposite side, there were three men in brocade clothes, looking at each other.
"Emperor, now that the battle report has arrived, our army has broken through the stone city, what do you think?"
After being silent for a long time, the old man's eyes looked at the old man beside him, and Zhu Zhao asked softly.
"Holy Lord, this battle is a great victory! If you take advantage of the victory to pursue and break the capital city again! Then the destruction of the Zagu clan is just around the corner!"
Hearing this, the old man responded with a smile.
This old man is the current emperor, Liu Yuanzong!
And the three brocade-clothed men standing opposite are the three princes!
The tenth prince Zhu Qi, the eleventh prince Zhu Yu, and the future saint, the fourteenth prince Zhu Yu!
On the dragon chair, hearing what Liu Yuanzong said, Zhu Zhao nodded, but frowned and said nothing.
"Holy Lord, but you have something on your mind?"
Seeing this, his mind was delicate, and Liu Yuanzong asked in a low voice.
In the past hundred years, the Zagu people have been eyeing the Central Plains and have wreaked havoc on the frontier many times.
Now that the Central Plains is about to win a great victory and destroy the enemy, why is the saint full of sorrow?
"Alas... Emperor, do you know that although the external troubles are about to be eliminated, the internal troubles are growing stronger day by day?"
Listening to his question, Zhu Zhao nodded and sighed.
"Internal worries?"
As soon as these words came out, his eyes narrowed, and Liu Yuanzong secretly pondered in his heart.
"A hundred years ago, the wolf son of the Zagu tribe was ambitious, led an army of 500,000 and invaded the frontier, and it was precisely because the Geng family made a move and called on the people in the martial arts to join forces with the imperial court that the Zagu tribe was forced to retreat..."
On the dragon chair, seeing that the other party was thinking, Zhu Zhao stood up and explained in a loud voice: "Because of this, the first emperor valued the Geng family and made him an official and a knight!
"Holy Lord, what do you mean, this internal worry is the Geng family?"
Hearing this, he suddenly realized in his heart, Liu Yuanzong frowned slightly, and echoed in a low voice.
"Ahem, ahem... That's right! The Geng family has fought against the Zhagu tribe for generations! It has quite a prestige among the people! And now, its successor, Lu Ping, is even more brave and good at fighting, and he is about to go through the past and the present and fulfill the unfulfilled wish of his ancestors! Exterminate the Zhagu tribe!"
Looking at each other and coughing a few times with a worried expression, Zhu Zhaocang read in a loud voice: "Now in the court and among the people, the prestige of this son makes me jealous! And this son is the generalissimo, and he is also in charge of thousands of troops and horses..."
Indeed, over the years, Yin Lu Ping led the Tianxing General and 300,000 troops to win victory after victory, and broke through several cities of the Zagu tribe all the way!
In the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, Lu Ping is a well-deserved hero!
"Meritorious Boss!"
Immediately, hearing the words of the saint, Liu Yuanzong's face was shocked, and he couldn't help but have these four big words in his heart!
"Holy Lord! The Geng family has always been loyal to the imperial court, and has never crossed the line..."
After being surprised, Liu Yuanzong reminded in a loud voice.
"Alas... Emperor, over the years, my body has been getting worse day by day, I'm afraid that in less than two years, I will have to drive the crane west... I don't want any variables in the court..."
Hearing this, he waved his hand, blinded the three princes, and Zhu Zhao said helplessly.
The implication of his words is that his time is short!
And Lu Ping's prestige is growing day by day, which is terrifying!
If you die, I'm afraid that the other party... Rebel!
Although he knew that the other party was loyal to the country, he had to guard against it!
"Holy Lord, what do you mean..."
Beside him, he listened carefully and thought about it, Liu Yuanzong asked in a low voice.
"Emperor... Do you have a way to break the game?"
Turning his head to look at the other party, Zhu Yu shook his head, but asked with a pale face.
There is nothing I can do about today's situation!
If you say that you have high merit and are jealous, as the Ninety-Five Supreme, you can give the other party a holy decree to death!
But the other party's reputation is so huge, he has to be helpless!
There is no suitable reason, if the other party is eradicated at will, the people's hearts will be lost, and the court will be in turmoil!
On the contrary, the other party can take this as an excuse to take the opportunity to rebel!
Therefore, I really have a headache and don't know what to do!
Hearing this, the big hand stroked the long white beard, Liu Yuanzong was silent, thinking about the way to break the situation.
"Hehe... Father, the son has a plan!"
Suddenly, just as everyone was thinking, Zhu Yu, who was opposite, said with a smile.
"Oh, Yu'er, what's your plan?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhao took a step forward and asked with a majestic expression.
"Father, Lu Ping's current prestige is indeed huge, and we have to guard against it! But even so, for the sake of the people's hearts and the stability of the court, we can't easily attack him..."
On the other side, bending down to salute his father, Zhu Yu smiled slightly.
Hearing this, sitting back on the dragon chair, Zhu Zhao nodded, his eyes full of appreciation.
Looking at his children, only Zhu Yu is quick and outstanding!
Fang Cai himself talked to the emperor, just a few words, and the other party could guess... I can't move Lu Ping!
is really worthy of it, he is the prince he admires the most!
"Hehe... Holy Lord, the fourteenth prince is extremely intelligent, and the old man admires it!"
Beside him, his eyes were fixed on Zhu Yu, Liu Yuanzong nodded, and also praised him.
"Father, according to the child's view, although we can't move Lu Ping, we can move the power in his hands! The soldiers and horses in his hands are given by the father, and the father can also take it back..."
On the other side, seeing his father and emperor praising him, Zhu Yu was happy in his heart and continued.
"Hmph! Fourteenth brother, what a plan! If my father removes Lu Ping from his post as generalissimo, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public! When the time comes, if you are in a hurry, you will still rebel!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yu, the eleventh prince beside him, raised his sword eyebrows and said sneeringly.
Now that my father is sick, time is running out, and it is the time for the princes to compete for the throne!
And seeing his father praising Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu's heart was full of jealousy!
On the dragon chair, seeing Zhu Yu sneering at Zhu Yu, although Zhu Zhao did not speak, his eyes were full of disappointment.
Among his many princes, he is the eleventh prince Zhu Yu, the worst!
He is also greedy for beauty, relying on the identity of the prince, robbing the people's daughters in the capital, and doing all kinds of evil!
For this son, I am very disappointed!
"Yu'er, is this your plan?"
After the disappointment, the tiger looked at Zhu Yu, and Zhu Zhao asked in a loud voice.
"Father, if Lu Ping is removed from his military position, it will indeed backfire as Brother Eleven said! Reward!"
Looking at each other from afar, Zhu Yu bent down again and saluted, and said with a smile.
"Reward?"
Hearing this, his big hand stroked his long white beard, his brows furrowed slightly, and Liu Yuanzong was puzzled in his heart.
"That's right! Erchen's intention is to remove him from the post of Generalissimo Lu Ping and reward him... Master Hou!"
Nodding, the corners of Zhu Yu's mouth were lightly raised, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
