After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

The emperor was confused and asked the two men what they were talking about.

The eldest prince sent Yu Zizhen to the second prince to get some gold and silver. However, because the palace people there wanted to gang up on the "second prince", they got angry and killed everyone who did it. He briefly told the emperor about it. .

The emperor's face turned paler as he listened. He stood up and said, "It's not just him. You also have to go. You all have to go."

He didn't blame Yu Zizhen. As a young man, it's not strange to be impulsive. Besides, Yu Zizhen was venting his anger on his other son.

Of course the eldest prince knew that he was not safe either. He was worried that someone would see Yu Zizhen going in and out of the second prince's palace. Naturally, he was also worried that someone would see Yu Zizhen going in and out of his palace.

But he would not leave the palace. As early as the year when his father sacrificed his own life to save his life, he had already made up his mind to stay with his father.

Of course he also enjoyed the time he spent with Yu Zizhen, but one's conscience will eventually have to be dealt with in one's lifetime.

Let him leave behind his old father who cared so much for him, and he was afraid that he would have a bad conscience for the rest of his life.

He held the emperor's hand and said, "I will not leave, but I will stay with you."

Even if he dies, he will die with his father.

How could the emperor be willing to let his son die with him? He knew that Xiao Yuanjin's leg had long since healed, and he was also good at both civil and military skills and had the ability to survive independently. He could survive even without the palace, so at this moment he only wanted to save his life before the danger came. Send Xiao Yuanjin away.

Neither father nor son could convince the other, which made Yu Zizhen, who was very sure that he had not alarmed anyone, very helpless.

She just raised her hand and swore, but neither father nor son could believe her vow.

Yu Zizhen had no choice but to ignore the topic and persuade Xiao Yuanjin to leave together with the emperor.

She said: "Actually, it is the most disadvantageous thing for you and His Majesty if you are trapped in the capital. I think you can take advantage of the second prince's 'disappearance' and the little Lu family is busy looking for and harming people, and directly leave the capital to join the feudal clan." "

Although the emperor is usually a mascot and has no control over what kind of imperial edict he issues, he has always kept the jade seal by himself.

With the jade seal, he could write the imperial edict in his own hand and enfeoff Xiao Yuanjin.

Of course, Yu Zizhen did not recommend that Xiao Yuanjin go to the northern border or southern Xinjiang. After all, Chen Hushan and Yu Zizhen's father were both people who had ideas about the throne.

As for Xiao Yuanjin, a vassal king with nothing but his title, if he went to the territory of these two people, these two people would definitely make him die "accidentally" directly.

She prefers Xiao Yuanjin to go to Jiangnan. In this case, she is fully capable of protecting him under her wings.

As for Xijiang, Yu Zizhen planned to go to Xijiang to discuss a business deal with Fang Huaiying's adoptive father after she rescued the emperor.

Fang Huaiying's adoptive father had been hanging on to his life thanks to the certain drugs she had obtained from the system over the years, as well as the century-old ginseng that Fang Huaiying had painstakingly collected. He died not long after.

In fact, if it weren't for Yu Zizhen's inconvenience to leave Beijing for such a long time, and Fang Huaiying's adoptive father could not leave Xijiang, Yu Zizhen would have wanted to check his pulse directly.

After all, she just listened to Fang Huaiying's pulse report left by the government doctor, and it was really difficult for her to accurately prescribe the right medicine.

Of course, these are all things for later. Now Yu Zizhen is still trying to persuade Xiao Yuanjin to leave the capital first. Of course the emperor was very willing to Yu Zizhen's proposal. He knew that Yu Zizhen would definitely send someone to protect the eldest prince, so he immediately praised, "What a great idea!"

The eldest prince still said the same thing, "I want to accompany my father."

Yu Zizhen rubbed his brows with a headache, "Which one do you think is more beneficial to you and His Majesty, to sit together and wait for death or to temporarily separate in order to find a way out?"

"Little Lu and Lu Tong can't wait to change their emperor. It's obvious that His Majesty can't stay in the capital any longer."

"Now that the Queen Mother is acting openly and secretly, Your Majesty can still hold the throne for a while, but the Queen Mother's body has been hollowed out by the poison, and she won't be able to hold on for long."

"Although my subordinates are powerful, they come from unknown backgrounds. If I don't want to be labeled as traitors, I can't use them in public places."

"For the long term, you must at least prepare a house that belongs to you and His Majesty, and buy an estate that can provide you with food and clothing, so that His Majesty can have a place to settle down after you successfully escape."

The eldest prince was moved by her words. He lowered his eyes hesitantly, and the two thoughts in his heart were tugging at each other fiercely.

Yu Zizhen kept up his efforts, "Lu Tong wanted to blame Ning Bin and the Fan family for killing His Majesty, you, and the second prince, and then supported the third prince to ascend the throne, and held the emperor's hand to command the princes. He had a beautiful dream, but those hands Generals from various places who hold heavy troops may not buy it."

"No one is stupid and will not believe them."

"The most important thing is that even if the facts are true as the Lu family said, those ambitious guys will accuse the Lu family of killing you. After all, if they don't do this, how will they have any reason to send troops to oust the emperor? "

"They will never let go of this good opportunity to send troops in a legitimate manner, and the Lu family will not sit still and wait for death. So who will be unlucky then? There is no doubt that it will be all the 'hostages' including me."

The emperor was very embarrassed when he heard this. After all, the imperial edict that made Yu Zizhen and the others hostages was issued in his name.

Xiao Yuanjin was quite speechless. He wanted to remind Yu Zizhen that King Zhenbei was also among the "ambitious guys" she mentioned.

Yu Zizhen didn't pay attention to these small details. She continued:

"So, once the moment comes when His Majesty must fake his own death to escape, all the 'hostages' including me, we will definitely leave the capital as soon as possible."

"At that time, I will personally take His Majesty out of the capital. Before that, I will spare no effort to protect His Majesty so that he can be safe and sound until that moment comes."

"In this case, would you like to leave first and go to a safe place?"

The eldest prince did not answer her immediately, but asked, "Are you going to let my father fake his death?"

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Yeah, I will do it flawlessly."

The eldest prince was in a complicated mood. He suddenly realized that what Yu Zizhen had learned was the most useful in this world, whether it was the "unique secret recipe" that had been given to him to treat his leg before, the martial arts, or the disguise that was now used to save all of their lives. Regardless of the skills, they can all come in handy at critical moments.

Unlike him, who read a bunch of books, but exactly responded to the saying "a scholar who is useless is a scholar."
