Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Zhao Xu also frowned slightly when he heard Luo Chen's words.

As Luo Chen said, before the battle outside the pass, Zhao Xu felt that he only had 20 Jingying in his hands and the [-] First Army Corps in Lin Yi's hands was not safe, so he ordered Jin Province to of troops gathered.

However, two large provinces with [-] garrisons only sent him [-] old, weak, sick and disabled people to Zhao Xu.

At that time, Zhao Xu wanted to issue an order, but Lin Yi persuaded him to calm down and told Zhao Xu that the current troops were enough.

If the imperial court pushes too hard and those people rebel at this time, then that will be the most difficult time for the empire to deal with.

It would be better for Feng Chaoting to regain the outside of the pass, take advantage of the great victory, and then deal with these people.

When Zhao Xu heard what Lin Yi said, he felt that it made sense, so he temporarily tolerated it.

Now what Luo Chen said seems to make some sense.

Luo Chen saw that Zhao Xu had listened to what he said, and he continued: "Your Majesty must have seen the dangers of warriors taking power. I hope your Majesty will be wary of warriors taking power in the future. Especially Prince Rui!"

"What!" Zhao Xu's anger, which had subsided, suddenly resurfaced.

"Your Majesty, let alone how can anyone in this world grant a title of king to a relative? But Your Majesty insists on doing so, so I won't say anything more."

"But your Majesty should never, never allow Prince Rui to hold a large number of troops!"

"Your Majesty, this is the bane of the empire. I will beg your Majesty to take back the military power from Prince Rui before I die! Just let him be an idle prince!"

"That's enough!" When Zhao Xu heard this, he slapped the desk hard and then stood up suddenly.

"Luo Chen! You are just a minister! How can you talk about the affairs of the Tian family!"

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, loyal words have been distasteful to your ears! Today, I am risking the lives of my whole family of forty-eight people to tell Your Majesty this matter!"

"If your Majesty is willing to listen, I will have to say something. If Your Majesty is not willing, I will have to say something even more!"

Luo Chen also risked his life at this time. He stood there without fear and looked at Zhao Xu.

"You..." Zhao Xu looked at Luo Chen like this, and he didn't know what to say.

Originally, he felt that there was no need to argue with Luo Chen. He could have directly ordered Luo Chen to be executed.

But when he thought about it, Luo Chen had followed him for decades. Although he had done many wrong things, he had also harmed the imperial army and caused tens of thousands of soldiers to die tragically on the battlefield.

But for some reason, Zhao Xu still wanted Luo Chen to understand.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen waved to Wang Jinzhong, and Wang Jinzhong immediately understood what Zhao Xu wanted to do.

He quickly asked all the eunuchs and maids in the study to leave.

Finally, Wang Jinzhong gently closed the door.

After looking at the entire room, only himself and Luo Chen were left, Zhao Xu slowly sat down and said, "Let me tell you a story."

"I am all ears." Luo Chen stood there, watching Zhao Xu drive away the attendants. He also knew that what Zhao Xu was going to say next would be a shocking secret.

"There was a prince who wanted to save the country and left for a foreign land, hoping to learn from his opponent's advanced experience."

"But as a prince, after entering the Western world, he was fascinated by the wine and sex there, and completely forgot about his mission."

"Until the prince met a girl, the girl persuaded the prince to calm down and study."

"From then on, the prince listened to it, changed his past enjoyment, and studied hard."

"And that girl has always taken care of the prince's daily life. As time went by, the two fell in love."

"But at this moment, the emperor issued a decree asking the prince to marry the minister's daughter."

"The prince refused. This is the first time that the prince refused the emperor. He even gave up his identity as prince."

"The relationship between the prince and the emperor has dropped to a freezing point, and at this time, the girl stood up again and proposed that the minister's daughter be the head wife, and she would just be a concubine."

"Although this matter has been resolved, the emperor is even more disgusted with the girl and feels that she encouraged the prince to confront him."

"Later, when foreign enemies invaded, the emperor forcibly took the prince away, but left the prince's concubine alone."

"At that time, the girl was pregnant..."

"That's enough! Your Majesty, stop talking!" Luo Chen shouted in horror.

He already knew what Zhao Xu was going to say, and he also knew what kind of mistake he had made.

"Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime. Please order the execution of this humble minister!" Luo Chen knew that he would not survive, but it was worth it if he could learn such a secret before he died.

After he said this, he began to recall everything about Lin Yi in his mind.

Prince Rui Lin Yi used to keep a very low profile when the eldest princess Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi were still alive. It almost makes people forget that he exists.

After Zhao Yan and the consort Lin Zhi passed away one after another, after several years of silence, they were granted the title of prince at the age of sixteen and began to command the army at the age of eighteen.

In the same year, Lin Yi, who had just taken charge of the army, led his first division to defeat John and the Gallic coalition forces head-on.

After almost a year of training, Prince Rui raised a [-]-strong army and swept across the border with [-] soldiers, recaptured Goryeo, beat the Sakura Empire, and drove away the Rakshasa Empire.

Let the Daxia Empire once again return to the forest of the world and dominate East Asia.

With such a record, any person with a foreign surname, even if this person is the emperor's nephew, will definitely be regarded with suspicion.

But if such a record is placed on a prince, even if the prince's identity is not very glorious, or he is an illegitimate child, then the situation is different.

"No wonder, no wonder it's like this, no wonder the emperor was able to give Prince Rui command without blinking an eye, and then increased Prince Rui's army to two hundred thousand!"

"I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it! Stupid, stupid!"

"Luo Chen, Luo Chen, you have been plotting your whole life, and you can't even see such a simple truth clearly!"

Luo Chen first laughed at himself, and then suddenly thought that Lin Yi was a prince and should definitely be kept secret. Otherwise, many people would use this to criticize Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi becomes dissatisfied with Zhao Xu or has a rift with Zhao He because of these words, it will definitely be a huge disaster for the empire.

Although even now, he still feels that warriors cannot take power and that the empire should follow the path of development rather than force.

But if he is gone, then it is not necessarily impossible for the empire to take the path of force. At least in this way, the empire can still dominate East Asia and restore the glory of the Celestial Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen once again asked Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, who else knows about this matter?"

"Only I, the queen, Wang Jinzhong, and you know." Zhao Xu looked at Luo Chen indifferently and replied.

"In this case, your majesty, please kill me and Wang Jinzhong quickly! Don't let the third party know about this matter."

"If one more person knows about it, it will be a danger to the empire!"
