This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 512: The Imperial Master's True Plan, Lu Yuanzhi's Shock
Urgent news from the border.

In fact, according to common sense, Lu Yuanzhi should not be able to participate.

After all, he is Yong's general.

Only after his uncle and other high-ranking officials had discussed with the emperor and passed the order to him could he go to the palace and lead his troops.

But the problem is that after the war with the demon tribe, Dayong suffered heavy losses in high-level combat power, and now, apart from the national teacher, only Lu Yuanzhi is left...

"In my opinion, it is natural for me to go to the border to take charge of the affairs."

Lu Yuanzhi looked calm, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"No one except me can take on this important task."

His words were merciless, and although his eyes could not be said to be condescending, they were not really looking straight at him either.

Seeing his expression, all the ministers were stunned, but no one dared to object.

The Second Prince was overjoyed when he heard Lu Yuanzhi's words. He had long wanted to drive Lu Yuanzhi out of the capital, but his face showed embarrassment:

"But I need the Duke of Beiguo in the capital!"

After these words were spoken, not only Lu Yuanzhi was speechless, but his uncle also rolled his eyes in the crowd.

Okay, stop acting. Who can’t see what you’re thinking?

I wish Lu Yuanzhi could go as far away as possible, right?
"Haha, since Your Majesty has such intention, then I will not leave?"

Lu Yuanzhi wanted to tease the Second Prince, and showed reluctance on his face. He sighed:
"Looking for a good general to escort me to the border?"

……

All the ministers were petrified.

No one could have imagined that Lu Yuanzhi could actually say such a thing.

The second prince was caught off guard. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that the words that came out of his mouth were:

My dear, please go ahead. I will definitely take good care of the princess for you...

It turned out that what Lu Yuanzhi said was not what he thought at all, so his brain was a little confused.

But fortunately, he has a father-in-law who is very thoughtful.

Lin Fu slowly stepped out from among the ministers, coughed, and his face was filled with a helpless expression:

"Don't joke, Duke Bei. The burden of the country can only be borne by your shoulders. If others fail, they may miss out on important matters."

"Tsk."

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Lin Fu with interest. The old man reacted quickly: "Haha, I just can't bear to leave Your Majesty."

"But in this case, it would be better for me to leave the capital and go to the border."

After saying this, the Second Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He forced a smile and said:

"Then let's settle this matter."

Having said that, he directly ordered the young eunuch to shout loudly "Dismiss the court".

He left the Golden Luan Palace as if escaping, fearing that Lu Yuanzhi would express regret again.

"hehe."

Seeing his appearance, Lu Yuanzhi chuckled and walked out of the hall.

When he walked out of the palace gate, as expected, he was stopped by his uncle.

"Don't go, wait for me."

My uncle's voice remains the same as always.

Lu Yuanzhi turned his head with a smile, looked at his uncle and asked:

"how?"

"You have a big heart."

When the uncle saw the smile on Lu Yuanzhi's face, his originally irritable heart calmed down inexplicably. He took a deep breath, looked around, and found that there were no strangers. Then he said with an extremely solemn expression:

"I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Yuanzhi naturally knew what his uncle wanted to say. He nodded and said:

"Walk."

……

After getting on his uncle's carriage, Lu Yuanzhi lay down comfortably, crossed his legs, and fiddled with his jade ring fingers out of boredom.

"If you leave the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand alone here."

The uncle came straight to the point. He never hid anything in front of Lu Yuanzhi and always spoke directly if he had anything to say.

“How come you see?”

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and shook his head nonchalantly:
"You have formed a team now. Who in the world doesn't know that the Haipai is the most powerful faction in the court?"

"Nonsense! Where did this Haipai Haidang come from? Who told you this?"

When my uncle heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, he was suddenly shocked.

Throughout history, anyone who is labeled as a party member or faction will never have a good ending.

"Okay, stop trying to cover up your mistakes."

Lu Yuanzhi sneered, scratched his ears, and said nonchalantly:
"The whole world knows about it, but you don't know about it? Who would believe me if I told them?"

The uncle wanted to open his mouth to quibble, but when it came to this, he just remained silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said:

"I have no choice, no choice!! I never thought that I would be pushed to the forefront in the end..."

"nonsense."

Lu Yuanzhi rolled his eyes and said unhappily to his uncle who was not doing his best:
"Some things can't just be done if you say you don't want to. The people under you don't think so. As human beings, we have desires, and we want to go further."

"Grandma's."

My uncle couldn't help but curse: "Those bastards, all the dirty and stupid things they do on a daily basis are now blamed on me."

"Who told them to follow you? At least on the surface, they followed you. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. You have been in the officialdom for so long, why don't you understand this as well as I do?"

Lu Yuanzhi kept scolding his uncle.

"I can't help it. I know now that I have no way out."

The uncle sighed deeply, his eyes became extremely complicated, and he looked in the direction of the palace:

“So, I must go one step further and suppress all those who resist.”

At this point, my uncle's eyes had even begun to slowly turn bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Before you leave, help me become the Prime Minister!"

Lu Yuanzhi felt like he was meeting the person in front of him for the first time.

He could never have imagined that his uncle, who used to be so scheming in everything he did, would become so unbearable in the face of the temptation of power.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:
"That's exactly what I meant, and I have no way out."

"how?"

The uncle could naturally hear the huge message hidden in his nephew's tone. He frowned and said:

"They dare to attack you?"

"I definitely don't dare to do that now, but it will be soon."

Lu Yuanzhi also put away the dissolute look on his face and became serious. He sat up, moved closer to his uncle, and lowered his voice and said, "According to the information my subordinates have obtained, plus my speculation, I feel that he may want to attack me."

"That one?"

When my uncle heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, he was suddenly shocked and his pupils dilated violently.

There is no need to think about it. The person Lu Yuanzhi was talking about was definitely not the second prince sitting in the court.

In front of him, Lu Yuanzhi never took the second prince seriously.

Therefore, the "that person" he was referring to could only be... the Imperial Master!
"Hi~"

My uncle took a breath of cold air.

This is by no means a trivial matter. He looked at Lu Yuanzhi seriously and said:

"Can you be sure?"

"No." Lu Yuanzhi shook his head and pursed his lips: "But after analyzing this information, only this answer is appropriate."

The uncle's face was extremely ugly, but in the face of such a big thing, he never lost his composure, but looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly:
"Tell me everything that has happened since you came back from Southern Xinjiang until now, without leaving out a single word."

The solemnity on his face has almost become tangible.

Lu Yuanzhi frowned, and nodded slowly:

"After the Nanjiang group came back, I noticed that several forces were a bit abnormal, including the second prince in the palace, Concubine Lin in the harem, Xuanshu Bodhisattva in Fa'an Temple, and Song Yu in Kewusi."

Slowly, Lu Yuanzhi told him everything that had happened in recent days, no matter how big or small.

Time passed slowly, and before he knew it, Lu Yuanzhi had basically told all of his experiences during this period, except for the fact that he had had sex with women several times when he returned home.

After hearing these words, my uncle's eyes became a little strange.

After a long time, the uncle curled his lips and looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said:

"Why have you been feeling suspicious lately?"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned and looked at his uncle in confusion.

"You said that the Buddhist and Taoist sects entering the capital was most likely the intention of the Imperial Master, right?"

"Yes."

"And Song Yu has already concluded that he is colluding with Your Majesty, and has even raised support from the Buddhist sect for Your Majesty. Is he now about to throw out bait to the Taoist sect as well?"

"It's true."

"Moreover, Song Yu secretly organized pawnbrokers for Your Majesty to kidnap children, in order to set up a large formation in the capital after you went to the border, in order to wait for you to come back and get rid of you? After getting rid of you, he will help the Second Prince gain power?"

"The Xiwu formation is the formation that King Yu of Hangzhou used to deal with Ji Xuan."

Lu Yuanzhi corrected.

"Then have you ever thought that what Song Yu did was actually the intention of the Imperial Master?" The uncle glanced at Lu Yuanzhi and couldn't help laughing:

"I thought you would have made some progress after being in the court for so long, but why are you still so confused?"

"What does the Imperial Master mean?"

Lu Yuanzhi was stunned, and his eyes became a little dazed.

"First of all, as Song Yu is the disciple of the Imperial Master, as long as he is in the capital, nothing he does can escape the Imperial Master's eyes. I believe you know this better than I do."

The uncle began to analyze Lu Yuanzhi calmly.

"You can say that." Lu Yuanzhi hesitated for a moment. It was indeed true. Not to mention Song Yu, even the Imperial Master should know his whereabouts in the capital.

"That means Song Yu doesn't have the ability to resist the Imperial Master, nor does he have any motive."

The uncle said seriously: "In the officialdom, no matter how others act, the first thing you should think about is what benefits they can get from doing this thing, understand?"

Lu Yuanzhi took a deep breath, he seemed to have vaguely touched the truth of the matter.

"Song Yu made such a big move, but didn't get any benefits. Do you think it's possible?" After the uncle glanced at Lu Yuanzhi, he looked at Lu Yuanzhi's face, which still had a wise look that seemed to understand, and sighed and continued:
"And you just said that the top priority for the Imperial Master now is to improve his strength and prepare to face more powerful enemies..."

Speaking of this, my uncle is actually a little confused. A more powerful enemy?
Are there any other enemies around Dayong?
However, this did not affect his continued analysis for Lu Yuanzhi. Following this line of thought, he said calmly:
"The way the national teacher improves his strength is to help Dayong obtain more resources... Since we want to obtain more resources, the best way is to eliminate more visible enemies... I believe you know this better than me, after all, you have experienced the war with the demons."

"Yeah." Lu Yuanzhi's voice gradually weakened.

"After I tell you all this, what is the purpose of Song Yu doing all these things?"

My uncle also followed Lu Yuanzhi's example, crossed his legs, and his face became much more relaxed.

All his original worries disappeared after Lu Yuanzhi said those words just now.

Although Lu Yuanzhi's mind was still a little confused, he seemed to have touched upon something. He followed his uncle's train of thought and after pondering for a while, he slowly said:

"Let Song Yu use a decent cover, or an excuse, to get close to Buddhism and Taoism... and then..."

Having said this, Lu Yuanzhi's whole body suddenly shook.

He raised his head, looked at his uncle in disbelief, and said tremblingly:

"The real purpose of the Imperial Master is..."

"Yes." Seeing Lu Yuanzhi react so quickly, the uncle finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

However, he was also frightened by the national teacher's purpose.

He sighed deeply, his face full of admiration:
"I never thought that the Imperial Master would go through so much trouble for such a simple purpose."

"He...he is too..."

Lu Yuanzhi was even dumbfounded.

It turns out that this is the real plan of the Imperial Master.

Subconsciously, starting from the Xianglian case, Lu Yuanzhi's mind began to push forward step by step...

Use the Xianglian case to lure the demon clan to assassinate Weiwu Hou.

Then the demon tribe was fooled.

Then he hid Weiwu Hou and declared him dead, luring the demon tribe to attack.

Then he played the card of Weiwu Hou and completely broke the backbone of the demon clan.

Then he was sent to southern Xinjiang as an envoy, nominally to jointly annex the territory of the demon clan, but in fact to divide the local combat power in southern Xinjiang.

After thinking this through, one can realize that what the Imperial Master has to do at this time is to swallow up Southern Xinjiang as well!!!
When he thought of this, Lu Yuanzhi's scalp tingled, but after his uncle's explanation, he became very clear about one thing.

That is, Southern Xinjiang and the demon tribe are definitely not the real purpose of the national teacher! !

By the way, under the guise of Southern Xinjiang, he lured Xuanshu Bodhisattva, who is a Buddhist, to come to Dayong to preach.

Then he sent his own disciples to cooperate with the Buddhist sect as chess pieces...

Combined with the previous actions, when Buddhism completely accepts Song Yu, it is possible that the National Master will let him attack Buddhism and swallow up the power of Buddhism? ! !
"Depend on!!"

Lu Yuanzhi really couldn't help it and was completely dumbfounded.

The most important thing is that every move made by the national master is not a waste of chess!!!
How smart does a person have to be to be considered smart?? ! !
"This this……"

Lu Yuanzhi almost didn't know what to say.

The uncle was actually quite shocked, and the two of them just stared at each other in the carriage, neither of them being able to say a word...

"But what kind of enemy could force the Imperial Master to come up with such a plan?"

My uncle started to prepare for a rainy day...
