Chapter 149 The mantis stalks the cicada
Seeing Lu Linzhi suddenly fall silent, Fu Guiyun realized that he was deliberately avoiding him, and deliberately asked: "Does Lu Changshi think this plan is feasible?"
Lu Linzhi remained calm and said calmly, "Well, if Third Sister-in-law thinks this plan is feasible, I think it should be no problem."
Fu Guiyun rolled his eyes in his heart. His answer was the same as no answer, but it also seemed like an answer.
Since this person doesn't choose to expose himself, she will naturally not expose herself either.
Anyway, she just said it was a delay and didn't give any specific reasons.
But Lu Linchu had no idea what they were thinking, and asked anxiously: "There must be a reason for the delay. Anyway, we can't force people to stay in Liyang City."
"The mountain is now blocked by heavy snow, and I don't think it will stop for a while."
Lu Linzhi smiled at the couple and said, "Didn't the prince acknowledge Miss Cui as his sister before, but he never visited the ancestral temple."
"Let's wait for the snow to stop and Miss Cui to learn the palace rules. Then we can choose an auspicious day and invite all the members of the Lu family, young and old, to come to Liyang City to worship the ancestral temple."
"Then let the prince and princess formally adopt Miss Cui as their adopted daughter, record her in the family tree, and ask for an imperial decree to confer her the title of princess. This will show the world the courtesy of the Liyang Palace."
She counted on her fingers and said, "It will take at least three or two months to pass. Then we can persuade Miss Cui to go back to Dali to build a temple and erect a monument for her relatives who were in trouble, and offer incense. After all, it is not easy for her to return to her hometown after entering the palace. This will take several more months."
At this point, his smile became even brighter: "If we still have to send her to the palace at that time, since Emperor Hui has granted the land of Darong and Darei to you, we have the final say on the will of the people in the old land."
"If Miss Cui makes any mistake, we will put the blame on King Jiurong and King Dongyi, saying that they murdered the virtuous concubine and the adopted daughter of the prince, and deliberately sow discord between the monarch and his subjects. I don't believe that the people of the world will let them instigate us."
This speech made Lu Linchu suddenly enlightened: "It is indeed a good idea. Then we can tell the world that King Dongyi and King Jiurong have already stockpiled troops at the border. I want to see whether the emperor will protect the two kings or watch our Lu family army march north to purge the emperor."
Fu Guiyun thought about it carefully and had to admire Lu Linzhi's smart brain, as he really came up with a good idea.
This made her even more worried about Yin Cang's safety. It would be very useful to keep this person around.
"Prefect Yin left in a hurry, but did King Dongyi notice anything?" she asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Princess. After the commotion in front of the city gate, Prince Dongyi will only think that the Liyang Palace hates this person."
Lu Linzhi smiled faintly: "Besides, he didn't see the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, so there is no need to worry about his safety. I have sent people to protect him secretly. This King of Dongyi can't even follow a person, so he won't be able to achieve anything big."
When he said this, Fu Guiyun felt relieved: "In this case, the prince and I will go back early."
He then stood up, bowed, and left the inn with Lu Linchu.
Looking at the beautiful figure leaving, Lu Linzhi smiled and shook his head.
I always wonder why my sister-in-law suddenly became so stupid. How could she trick me into having the same experience as her based on what happened in the North?
......
In the Imperial Study Room in the Yundu Palace
Emperor Hui paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, the heat from the warm wall making his cheeks a little red.
He looked deep in thought when Juan suddenly opened the thick curtains and walked in quickly from outside.
Hearing the voice, Emperor Hui waved to the servants in the room. When only Juan was left by his side, he immediately asked anxiously, "Is everything arranged?"
Hu An bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the two uncles have gathered all the troops in their fiefdoms to the border and are ready to attack Liyang City at any time. They are now waiting for the virtuous concubine to enter the palace."
After a moment of silence, he suddenly frowned and said, "I am afraid that Prince Liyang will play tricks and refuse to send Concubine Xian into the palace."
"I have issued an imperial decree. Even if old man Lu Chen is brave enough, he would not dare to keep the girl from the Cui family as the daughter-in-law of his eldest son, the Lu family."
Emperor Hui said angrily: "Send an order to Xu Jinzhou immediately and ask him to urge Prince Liyang to escort Concubine Xian to the north as soon as possible."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, order the general to lead the 150,000 troops from the southern camp outside the capital to secretly march south and gather at the borders of Jiurong and Dongyi. When my two uncles fight that old man Lu Chen and both are injured, we will take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits."
Juan heard that the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to reduce the power of the princes, but this was not a good time to take such extreme measures.
He advised anxiously, "Your Majesty, please think twice. The northern countries have never stopped their intention to invade the south. Now that the traitor Song Weizhao has married Princess Alhe, he will not give up his hatred of exterminating the clan. Sooner or later, he will take advantage of the situation and march south. Your Majesty must be on guard."
Seeing that Emperor Hui looked indifferent, Hu An bent over and continued to persuade him.
"Prince Liyang and the two uncles have always been loyal to the late emperor. Even if Your Majesty cannot tolerate Prince Liyang, you should not attack the two uncles at this time. That would be self-defeating. Your Majesty, the situation in the southern border is temporarily stable. Your Majesty should focus on the defense of the northern border."
"You're such a shallow-eyed fool."
Emperor Hui gave him a fierce look and said, "It's a long way from the northern border to here. Song Weizhao is a coward. Even if he became the son-in-law of the enemy country, who would send troops for such a disloyal and unrighteous dog? I have hundreds of thousands of troops deployed along the way, relying on the natural barriers of various routes. How can Song Weizhao, a defeated general, enter this Yundu City?"
Juan lowered his head and sighed: "If someone has a determination in his heart, he will often have the ambition to be unstoppable and can defeat thousands of troops."
"He betrayed me and betrayed my high hopes. How could he have the face to be my enemy? I will kill his entire family, which is the least of my worries."
Emperor Hui pursed his lips and clenched his fists tightly.
"Everyone thinks I will focus on the northern border, but I will do the opposite. I will solve the troubles in the south at lightning speed. Then, a few petty thieves in the northern border will be nothing to me."
"No matter how loyal Lu Chen and the two uncles are, there is no guarantee that their descendants will not have disloyalty. If I want to carry on the legacy of the last emperor and become the ruler of the ages, I must have extraordinary means. Before I can resist foreign aggression, I must first stabilize the internal situation."
What he said was so convincing that Juan had no more grounds to refute and had no choice but to accept his orders.
Just as he was about to leave the imperial study, Emperor Hui reminded him thoughtfully: "Send someone to keep an eye on Fu Ping's family, and strictly check the letters to and from Liyang City."
"Yes."
Juan was feeling unhappy, but he had to pretend nothing had happened as he left the imperial study.
......
It was snowing heavily. After leaving the posthouse, the carriage moved slowly all the way. It still took half an hour to arrive at the gate of the palace.
Fu Guiyun lifted the curtain and stuck his head out, wanting to see the snow scene outside, but he saw a hunchbacked old woman standing far away from the palace gate, looking around.
The wind was cold and the woman was wearing thin clothes, shivering from time to time.
Lu Linchu followed her line of sight and exclaimed, "Isn't that Nian Nian's mother? Why didn't she go in after coming to the palace?"
