"I once heard a rumor that when Taizu revolted, he made an agreement with Prime Minister Lu's grandfather to divide the world equally. I don't know whether this rumor is true or not. Can Prime Minister Lu help me clear up my doubts?" Wei Guangdu He asked with seeming interest.
This is not just hearsay. Emperor Taizu started the rebellion because the deposed emperor unjustly killed the prince, and the prince was his nephew. He had no choice but to raise an army to avenge his nephew. At that time, most of the rebellions in the world had been put down by them. Emperor Taizu just wanted to capture Kyoto and kill the deposed emperor to avenge him. In order to go straight to Huanglong at the minimum cost, he made an agreement with Lu Wen'an's grandfather never to betray him, and he was able to escape. The deposed emperor besieged him layer by layer, and unexpectedly made a direct attack on the capital, destroying the previous dynasty.
The public is not aware of this matter, and there are many rumors. Wei Guangdu's remarks are just to force Lu Wen'an to give up the battle for military power. After all, Lu Wen'an's youngest son is far inferior to his eldest son.
"It's nonsense. This matter is simply fabricated out of thin air. The Holy One knows clearly that the Lu family has always been loyal to Jinyun and the Holy One. There is absolutely no double-mindedness. The Holy One must never listen to such heart-breaking words." Lu Wen'an was emotional, as if he had been greatly humiliated.
Emperor Yan Ping naturally knew that this was Lu Wen'an's pretense, but Lu Wen'an was the prime minister of the dynasty, with one person under more than ten thousand people. His biological sister was the late Empress Suyuan, and his concubine was The current queen, the prince is his nephew, the eleventh prince Chen Wang Li Wei is also his nephew, and even the king of Jin is also his nephew. Emperor Yan Ping has five existing heirs, but only three of Lu Wen'an's nephews can inherit the throne.
Because the fourth prince, Changle King Li Gao, accidentally drowned when he was young, he had a high fever for several days after being rescued, and became stupid when he woke up. In Emperor Yan Ping's heart, the throne must not be passed on to a fool. . The fifth prince, King Li Gao of Gaoxiang, was frightened when he was young. He also had a high fever that would not go away for several days. Although he did not become stupid, he was shy and introverted, acted withdrawn, did not communicate with others, and sometimes did not say a word for months. If Emperor Yan Ping's voice was higher, Li Gao's spirit would immediately become tense, and he might even faint due to excessive nervousness. In Emperor Yan Ping's mind, this was not a candidate to inherit the throne.
In fact, Emperor Yan Ping had many children, but most of them did not live to adulthood, and some even suffered misfortunes in their mother's womb. Naturally, all of this was inseparable from the late Empress Suyuan. But after the death of Queen Suyuan, no new heirs were born in the harem. This must have something to do with the current queen.
Emperor Yan Ping had indulged in drinking and sex these years, and was unable or unwilling to think deeply about many things, but today he was awakened by Wei Guangdu's words. After all, the only surname in this world is Li. It is absolutely impossible for the surnames Li and Lu to share the same world.
Thinking of this, Emperor Yan Ping had already made a decision in his heart. He smiled and said: "Of course I won't believe such nonsense. Lu Qing can rest assured. But the Northern Expeditionary Army is the mainstay of our dynasty. Naturally, the selection of the general army cannot be trivial, otherwise other unrest will inevitably arise if the soldiers are dissatisfied and the cavalry goes south. This is an unprecedented event since the founding of our country. At this time of crisis, personal gains and losses still exist.Secondly, those prejudices are unnecessary. I think what the King of Jin said is reasonable. I have my consort Yang Zhuming succeed Yang Zhong in charge of the Northern Expedition Army. I must stabilize Dingbei City and defend the country without losing an inch. ”
“I obey the decree. "Yang Zhuming breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted to go to Dingbeicheng to find his father's whereabouts and find out the rebellion.
Emperor Yan Ping changed the subject and continued: "The King of Jin will vouch for you with his life, but Don't let me down. "
Emperor Yan Ping has confirmed what Li Han said just now. If Yang Zhuming can pacify the Dingbeicheng incident, then it will be fine. If there is any accident, then Emperor Yan Ping can justifiably kill Li Han. It was difficult for King Qin and others to say anything.
Li Han knew what he was thinking, but he didn't care much. He believed that Yang Zhuming would not betray him, and he also understood how Emperor Yan Ping wanted to get rid of him. /p>
After the expedition was agreed upon, the atmosphere in the court became much more relaxed.
Li Han was not interested in discussing rewards and brought a meal from Emperor Yan Ping. Li Hao returned to Changxin Palace with a brocade box the size of a box.
At this time, Wei Haohao had finished his breakfast and was sitting in the palace boredly waiting for him.
"You come back. . "Wei Haohao ran to him excitedly, "Why did you bring a gift? "As soon as Wei Haohao put his hand on the brocade box, Li Jun quickly took the box away.
Wei Haohao pursed his lips, "Stingy. Can't you take a look? "
Li Jun said coaxingly: "This thing is bad luck, it's better not to see it, madam. Shall we go home? "
Wei Haohao nodded, still very curious in his heart, what exactly is inside?

Return After leaving the house, Li Han had a lot of things to arrange because he was going on an expedition tomorrow, so he put the box down and went to find Qin Yao to prepare for the expedition.
Wei Haohao watched Li Han go out, and then swooped. He immediately ran to the shelf to look for the box. In order to prevent her from touching it, Li Han specially placed it in Lao Gao's place, but Wei Haohao moved the chair and took the thing down easily.
Jiusu looked on with fear, "Princess, be careful. ”
“Hey, I don’t know what good stuff it is. Let’s open it and take a look.” ”
“But didn’t the prince not let you see it?” "
Wei Haohao said unhappily: "Little Susu, where are you now? "
"Of course I belong to the princess. ”
“If you don’t tell me I haven’t noticed yet, when did you start calling me Princess?” "Wei Haohao questioned.
"After the prince can speak. "Thinking of this, Jiu Su still felt a little aggrieved. At that time, Li Jun was still being treated by Zhao Yu, and even though she was being treated unfavorably, she even went behind Wei Haohao's back and asked her to only call him Princess, not Miss, when she saw Wei Haohao in the future. < /p>
“He is really petty."
Jiu Su nodded, agreeing very much with Wei Haohao's words.
"Then we have to open this box. "Wei Haohao clenched his fists, as if he was seeking justice. Jiusu nodded, as if something was wrong.
As soon as the box was opened, a pungent smell instantly filled the air. Wei Haohao frowned and stared intently. When he saw it, he cried out. Jiu Su was startled by her and looked at it hurriedly, almost fainting. What was that? Why did Prince Jin bring such a thing back to his house?
The sudden shouting alarmed Li Han, and he hurried over.
"What's going on? "
Wei Haohao was so frightened that he did not dare to look directly. He closed his eyes and pointed to the box on the table. Only then did Li Hao notice it, quickly closed the box and handed it to Qin Yao to take away.

"Okay, the things have been taken away, don't be afraid. ”
Only then did Wei Haohao dare to open one eye and peek, and he was relieved when he found that he was gone.
