The Strongest Abandoned Son-in-law: The Stunning CEO Regrets and Cries

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest early."

Lu Wanjun waved his hand, his face looking very tired.

He chose his eldest son to inherit the throne. On the one hand, he was interested in the other person's ability. On the other hand, he also felt guilty and wanted to make better amends.

It's a pity that his son doesn't have any ambitions, and he never wants to be a person who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, he did not want to push too much.

He is already dying, and now he only hopes that his sons can be safe and happy.

Don't think about the rest anymore.

Lu Chen opened his mouth, but in the end he stood up and left without saying anything.

He doesn't have the consciousness to be a king, at least not yet.

In the eyes of others, the King of Xiliang represents supreme power, endless glory and wealth, and the majesty of being on top of the world.

But in his opinion, the position of King of Xiliang was too heavy.

Once you sit on it, there are too many things to carry.

At that time, he would no longer be thinking about himself, but the entire Xiliang, and even the whole world.

He is just an ordinary person and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.

This time, let him be selfish for once.

Lu Chen spent the next few days in the palace.

There are still many trivial matters to be dealt with in the aftermath of this counter-insurgency, including the annihilation of the Dragon Guard Pavilion.

Lu Wanjun was in poor health, so Lu Chen took care of his father's duties, which was considered as fulfilling his filial duty.

The first was Lu Zhiyuan’s arrangement. Lu Chen gave the other party two choices.

First, hand over military power, stay in Xiliang, and be an idle nobleman, walking the dog and playing with the birds every day, riding horses and shooting arrows, and enjoying a wealthy life.

But the premise is that there cannot be any affiliated forces, and the escort team in hand cannot exceed a hundred people.

Second, leave Xiliang, take a fortune, and develop elsewhere. No matter what the final result is, it will be entirely your own responsibility, and the palace will never interfere.

The meaning of these two choices is very simple, either spend your life idle or go out for adventure.

Based on the fact that Lu Zhiyuan was his third uncle and that he had contributed to the annihilation of Hulong Pavilion this time, Lu Chen gave the other party such an opportunity.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Zhiyuan chose the second path and went out for adventure.

According to Lu Zhiyuan, instead of living in a muddle through life, it is better to go out and have a try.

Maybe one day, I can make a comeback and establish my own power.

He is a very ambitious person and does not want to be inferior to others all his life.

Even if I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

His destiny must be in his own hands.

Lu Chen respected Lu Zhiyuan's choice, gave Lu Zhiyuan a sum of money, and personally sent him away from Xiliang.

From then on, there was no intersection between the two sides.

After settling Lu Zhiyuan's matter, Lu Chen went to the dungeon again and met Nangong Po and the four northern princes in person.

Lu Wanjun was kind and promised these people not to take their lives, and Lu Chen did not break his promise.

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

Whether it is Nangong Po or the four northern princes, they have already committed the crime of rebellion, and they have openly raised armies. The impact is extremely bad, and naturally they cannot be leniently spared.

Otherwise, everyone will imitate it in the future, and the whole Xiliang will be in chaos.

Therefore, Lu Chen convicted the five people of confiscating their homes.

First of all, the five people were removed from their official positions, and all the wealth accumulated by the five people over the years was confiscated. Moreover, no one with an interest in the five people could be spared, and all the property of the five people was confiscated.

In order to appease the people, all the money seized from the homes of the five people was eventually used to build the local area and return money to the people.

Finally, in addition to having their homes raided, each of the four northern princes will also be imprisoned for twenty years.

As for Nangong Po, he is sentenced to life imprisonment and can only stay in prison for the rest of his life.
