Raise an emperor as a villain

Chapter 43 The Lobby Begins

So the person in charge of monitoring in the restaurant separated two people, and secretly brought Lu Hengxiu to Prince Qing's Mansion.Ying Shisan's lightness kung fu was excellent, and he followed him all the way, but he couldn't go any further when he reached King Qing's gate.The sky is bright and the sun is bright, no matter how good he is at concealing it, he doesn't dare to fly over the sky above King Qing's mansion!

He struggled and decided to wait a little longer, but when it got dark Lu Hengxiu hadn't come out, if he waited any longer, the mansion might send people out to look for it, so he had no choice but to return.

Ying Shisan hurried back to Prince Su's mansion, grabbed someone and asked: "Where is the prince, I have something to see the prince."

When the man saw Shisan coming back alone, he was already puzzled, but when he grabbed him, he stammered and replied: "My lord... my lord, he... my lord hasn't come back from the palace yet."

"What about Master Li?"

"Lord Li went out of the city to visit the mausoleum of Emperor Daxing with officials from the Ministry of Rites."

"Where's Master Tianshu?" Ying Shisan gripped his collar tightly and asked eagerly.

"Tianshu, Lord Tianshu and the prince have entered the palace together."

"Alas!" Ying Shisan let go of him angrily, and wanted to run out again.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? What are you doing so recklessly?" The person caught by Shisan complained.

Ying Shisan ignored him, thinking that if something happened to Mr. Lu, he might not survive.I am just a guard of the palace, so I definitely have no way to enter the palace to find the prince, so I have to go out of the city to find Master Li.

Ying Shisan rushed out of the house, but happened to bump into Ming Jue returning home.

"Forgive me, my lord. This subordinate has something important to report." Before Ming Jue got out of the carriage, Ying Shisan stopped in front and knelt down.

Seeing this, Tianshu jumped off his horse and shouted: "What are you doing, you are so reckless."

Ming Jue heard the familiar voice outside, thought for a moment and recognized that it was Ying Shisan who was in charge of protecting Lu Hengxiu, then jumped out of the car and asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?"

"Subordinate..." Before Ying Shisan could elaborate, he was interrupted by Tianshu.

"Your Highness, there are many people outside, why don't you go in and listen to him." Tian Shu stepped forward to Ming Jue's side and said in a low voice.

Ming Jue nodded when he heard the words, and walked in quickly.Seeing this, Ying Shisan and Tianshu followed.

After entering the room, Mingjue took the lead in sitting on the chair, Tianshu stood beside him, and Ying Shisan knelt down to report: "My lord, Mr. Lu was taken away by King Qing's men."

Ying Shisan's words were like dropping a boulder on the calm water, stirring up thousands of waves.

"What?" Ming Jue stood up in shock when he heard the words, "Please explain clearly what is going on."

Tianshu was also surprised. Although Ying Shisan was young, he was careful, alert and flexible, and his martial arts were not weak. Who could snatch someone away in his hands?

"Today Mr. Lu went out with his subordinates, and then..." Ying Shisan recounted the whole process in detail.

"This subordinate did not take good care of Mr. Lu, and betrayed the trust of the prince and Lord Tianshu. I apologize here." Ying Shisan blamed himself.

Unexpectedly, Mingjue calmed down after hearing the detailed process. "I don't blame you. I just listen to what you said. Jian Jian ran into it by himself. Maybe he has any plans."

Ming Jue really understood Lu Hengxiu, and what he said was accurate.

Although Lu Hengxiu has not been in the capital for a long time, after many years of planning, he now knows the situation in the capital very well.Because of this, he was able to grasp the key points at once in the intertwined relationship, so as not to let the fleeting opportunities be lost.

During the daytime, he was taken to Prince Qing's mansion, but King Qing was busy with administration and was not in the mansion.So he had no choice but to wait for King Qing to return to the mansion under the guard of the two.

After Ying Shisan left, King Qing returned to the mansion.Although it was a tiring day, but when he heard that his subordinates reported that there was an arrogant person who wanted to help him, he still got interested and came to see him.

"You just want to help the lonely?" King Qing asked haughtily, leaning on Huang Huamu's chair.

"Your Highness, it's him." A servant who escorted Lu Hengxiu hurriedly replied.

"Did I ask you? Talk too much!" King Qing asked scoldingly.The man immediately shut his mouth and backed away.

Lu Hengxiu quietly looked at King Qing, he had also seen King Qing when he was young.King Qing was a dragon and a phoenix, and he always had a royal demeanor, and the young man was even more restrained and gentle.Now, perhaps because he has been soaked in the taste of controlling power for a long time, his demeanor has lost the modesty of the past, and has added a little extravagance.

"Lu Jianzhi, a native of Hangzhou, came to Beijing to help His Highness." Lu Hengxiu introduced himself.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" King Qing was a little disdainful. There were countless courtiers who wanted to curry favor with him, and all of them thought they could help him, but he had never seen a scholar in white who dared to speak so blatantly.

"Caomin can help His Highness get what he wants, whether it is the position of the crown prince or the ninth five."

"You..." King Qing became vigilant when he heard the words, looked around, and found that he was all his confidants before he was relieved.

"Then you have to talk about it carefully, otherwise you will be unable to retreat if you fool Yu Gu."

"Your Highness, please move away from the left and right sides." Lu Hengxiu cupped his hands.

Upon hearing this, King Qing waved his hand, signaling the unrelated people around him to retreat.

"Your Highness, all the subordinates have retreated, what about your safety?" Some guards who didn't have eyesight refused to leave, which made King Qing unhappy.

"You all go! If he dares to assassinate His Highness, I will protect His Highness even if I do my best." Chen Hanxuan, the companion of King Qing's son, stood up and said.

Seeing this, King Qing nodded in satisfaction. As expected, Chen Hanxuan was indeed the person who had followed him for more than ten years and understood his thoughts best.

So the idlers all retreated one after another, leaving only Prince Qing, Chen Hanxuan and Lu Hengxiu staying indoors.

"It's all right now!"

"Yes" Lu Hengxiu saluted respectfully, and then began his persuasion.

"His Royal Highness's concern is that the emperor is seriously ill, but he has not yet become a legitimate prince."

"This is something that everyone knows." King Qing said displeased.

"Your Highness is now in charge of governing the country, but the Emperor has been reluctant to give His Highness the title of Prince. Has Your Highness never doubted the Emperor's thoughts?" Lu Hengxiu said sharply.Emperor Rui was seriously ill, if King Liqing was the crown prince, it would be able to stabilize the court and reduce the rift between father and son.Emperor Rui refuses to do such a thing that is beneficial but harmless, isn't it because his preferred successor is not the mighty King Qing?

Lu Hengxiu knew that King Qing must have doubted it more than once, and many courtiers must have made such a guess, but no one dared to point it out and put it on the table with King Qing.

"You want to provoke the relationship between Gu and the emperor? If the emperor doesn't want Gu to succeed to the throne, why should Gu supervise the country?"

"The grassroots don't dare," Lu Hengxiu took a step back, and said in a persuasive way: "In the past, Xiao Yan, the eldest son who was just born, was appointed as the crown prince, so it can be seen that he is not unwilling to appoint a crown prince. As for His Royal Highness, it may not be possible. It means that His Highness is the emperor's most valued prince."

"You...you mean that the emperor's favorite is someone else, no matter how hard I work, it's just making a wedding dress for someone else?" King Qing was furious when he heard this.Although he knew that Emperor Rui was still dissatisfied with him, he never considered that he might just be a stepping stone to pave the way for other brothers.

"Then who else is there? King Yu? King Qin? Or the old twelve. Besides Gu, who else can we rely on?" King Qing asked excitedly.

"The grass people don't know. If the grass people knew, they wouldn't come here to see His Highness. His Highness is currently the prince with the greatest chance of winning on the stage. Now the Emperor is a dying dragon and has no power to turn the tide. His Highness is a rising star. As long as His Highness has the right plan, even if the Emperor doesn't want His Highness to inherit the throne, he can't help himself."

Hearing Lu Hengxiu's recognition of him, King Qing's face softened a lot, and he said, "You dare to speak, who are you? I don't believe that an ordinary scholar can understand the situation in the capital and the state of mind of Gu." So precise."
