Raise an emperor as a villain

Chapter 44 Continue to Lobby

"Your Highness didn't ask how to plan, but first asked Caomin's identity. You can see that His Highness is a cautious person. Even if Caomin said his identity, His Highness couldn't believe it completely. He must send someone to verify it himself. Why waste time?" Lu Hengxiu cleverly avoided King Qing's question, he came so suddenly that he only had time to fabricate a false identity, and if he talked too much, it might be difficult for King Qing to cover up in the future.

"Hahaha," King Qing raised his head and laughed a few times when he heard the words, and said approvingly, "Mister is indeed a smart person, so please tell me about your strategy!"

After hearing the words, Lu Hengxiu bowed again, and continued: "Your Highness's disadvantage is that you don't have enough control over the court. Although many ministers have moved closer to His Highness, most of them have ambiguous attitudes. The six ministers, nine ministers and other important officials even retreated one after another. I never made a clear statement, and I think His Highness is also worried about it."

"However, this Gu does not know. Most of the cabinet is Duan Wenzheng. He has gone through three dynasties and served in the Imperial Academy. It can be said that his disciples are all over the world. If he is against Gu, how can others dare to express their position clearly."

"Your Highness has already seen the crux of the problem. As long as Mr. Duan Ge is willing to stand by His Highness, will His Highness still worry about not having the position of crown prince? Cao Min came to help His Highness in order to get Mr. Duan Ge's help."

"Hmph," King Qing snorted coldly when he heard Lu Hengxiu's brazen words, "It seems that you don't understand the matter well enough. That old man Duan Wenzheng has a daughter named Duan Muyan, who is the emperor's favorite concubine Yan. At the beginning, she could even compete with the queen. And she had a son, King Rui. When King Rui was abolished as a commoner, he acted alone. Duan Wenzheng wanted to die alone, how could he help him again. "

"What Your Highness said is absurd. Since Caomin dared to recommend himself, he already knew the reason for His Highness's discord with Mr. Duan Ge. In the past, Mr. Duan Ge naturally wanted to support King Rui, but now King Rui is a commoner. Concubine Yan He was also demoted, but he had to think about the Duan family. Right now, King Yu is lame, King Qin has no plans, and the twelve princes are too young. The one who is most likely to inherit the throne is His Highness. It's just that His Highness and Duan Ge have a long history of grievances. Even if Mr. Duan Ge wanted to cooperate, he didn't dare to act rashly."

"In this power field, there are no long-term grievances, only eternal interests. Doesn't His Royal Highness Prince Qing understand such a simple truth?" Lu Hengxiu said meaningfully, but he explained a thousand things in one sentence. years of history.

"Then sir, do you have a good strategy?" King Qing became a little more respectful when he heard this, because he really underestimated this person at first.

"Caomin is willing to match up and build a bridge for His Highness to plan in the middle."

"But you are a commoner..." King Qing was still a little skeptical. Didn't he show his favor to Duan Wenzheng, but it didn't work? Does the person in front of him really have such ability?

"It is precisely because the grassroots are ordinary people that they have escaped from the political struggles and can clearly see the pros and cons." Lu Hengxiu said firmly, with a confident look.

"You stepped into this turmoil and risked your life for what?" Chen Hanxuan, who had been silent all this time, asked.Such a genius descended from the sky to help the prince is too coincidental and too strange.

"Isn't it enough for a scholar to be famous and profitable? If the grassroots can help His Highness become a great treasure, then even if he can't become a general, he can still get a salary of a thousand stones and have no worries about food and clothing." Lu Hengxiu said calmly, It seems that chasing fame and fortune is a matter of course.

King Qing nodded, he could understand Lu Hengxiu, how many heroes in the world are just "learning literary and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family."

"Then is there anything you need to cooperate with, sir? Or is there any requirement in life, sir." King Qing meant to solicit.

"In the future, if the cooperation of the lord is needed, the grass people will naturally have troubles, but there is a more urgent matter at hand." When Lu Hengxiu said this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his handsome face.

"Sir, you might as well just say it straight," King Qing said boldly.

"It costs a lot to live in the Huajin Building, and I can't afford to pay the rent now. If it weren't for this, Caomin wouldn't dare to come to His Highness rashly."

"So that's how it is. I will send someone to send you back, and they will take care of it for you. You don't have to worry about it anymore." King Qing asked Chen Hanxuan to go out and summoned two guards to escort Lu Hengxiu out.

"Your Highness, why didn't you leave him in the mansion?" Chen Hanxuan asked inexplicably. The origin of this Lu Jian was unknown, so why did the prince trust him so easily.

"If you control too tightly, how can you put a long line to catch big fish? But if such a character really wants to help Gu, as he said, it would be a good thing." King Qing said with emotion.Chen Hanxuan followed him since he was a child, and he was indeed loyal, but his agility and resourcefulness were slightly inferior.And he took a fancy to Gu Xueting Bingxue's smartness, but he happened to be Minglang's person.

"His Royal Highness is very worried, and the minister is not thinking carefully."

King Qing knew that he was like this, so he changed the topic indifferently, "I don't know why I feel that Lu Jianzhi looks familiar just now."

Chen Hanxuan was thoughtful when he heard the words, and echoed: "I also feel like I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember exactly."

When King Qing saw Chen Hanxuan's attitude of looking up to him, and then thought of Lu Hengxiu's change in the city just now, he felt a little annoyed and waved his hand to let him stop talking.

Lu Hengxiu left Prince Qing's mansion through the corner gate, it was already dark, and when the cold autumn wind blew, Lu Hengxiu shivered, only then did he realize that he was sweating heavily.

At the moment he was followed by two silent young men, Lu Hengxiu knew in his heart that although these two men were apparently sent by King Qing to escort him, they actually had a monitoring function.Therefore, he didn't dare to relax completely, and he was still thinking about how to deal with it.

In fact, what he said to King Qing just now were all ambiguous words. Although he said that he had no money to live in Huajinlou, he did not say that he had lived there before.So now it won't be exposed immediately.The most troublesome thing is Ming Jue's side. It can be said that he took such a rash action without discussing it with anyone. It can be said that it is very risky.
