Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 258: His Li family is in power, why can't my Lu family?
Duke Zhao's Mansion.

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others were waiting.

They knew that the moment Li Shimin returned, it would be clear whether the prince's plan could be carried out.

"Actually, I think the prince's plan is not bad."

Cheng Zhijie said, "Your Majesty has also been troubled by the problems of the aristocratic families in recent years. Now that the crown prince is regent, it is obviously a good thing to be aggressive and make progress."

"Good things are good things, but the method must be right."

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "At least until His Majesty returns, he still thinks the prince's plan is too radical."

Zhang Sun Wuji: "Young people are easily impulsive, and I can understand that."

Wei Zheng glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and said, "You have changed a lot during this period of time."

From the beginning to the end of the dispute between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, Changsun Wuji never expressed his opinion. However, since the Crown Prince became regent, Changsun Wuji's attitude towards the Crown Prince has changed.

If it were in the past, Changsun Wuji would certainly not have said those words.

He would not let Li Shimin give Li Chengqian a chance, and would only tell the truth about what happened in the court without any personal opinions.

Some even worse just sit there and say nothing.

But he said a lot today.

Chang Sun Wuji said slowly: "Before this, the prince's every move was suspicious."

Changsun Wuji didn't say what he suspected, but everyone knew it.

"I don't get along with Kong Jijiu, I don't get along with you, and I went to the East Palace to play the role of Turk..."

Chang Sun Wuji shook his head and said nothing more, "But who would have thought that since the crown prince became regent, all government affairs have been handled in an orderly manner, and he has been kind and generous to his brothers and sisters."

"I even have some doubts. In fact, the prince has a kind character. It's just that the pressure from His Majesty over the years has been too great, causing him to do outrageous things again and again."

"Otherwise, why would the Crown Prince undergo such a dramatic change after His Majesty went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat?"

"If the Crown Prince has a bad temper, without Your Majesty's restraint, he should be even more reckless, but this is not the case."

Wei Zheng nodded and agreed: "Perhaps our previous teaching methods are not suitable for the prince."

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile, "This is a very normal thing. Let's not talk about the prince. Just look at those bastards in my house. If you tell them to go east, they will go west. If you tell them to beat a dog, they will chase a chicken."

"It's obvious that he wants to go against me. Whatever I say goes in one ear and out the other. If he's really pushed into a corner, he'll do the opposite, or run away from home and stay at another colleague's house all night."

"For this, I beat those little bastards up a lot."

Wei Zheng glared at Cheng Zhijie, "That's the prince."

Cheng Zhijie: "I didn't say the prince..."

"What are you talking about?"

A laugh came from outside, and Changsun Wuji and others stood up one after another.

"His Majesty."

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down.

Zhang Sun Wuji smiled and said, "We were just chatting about how to teach our children. How was your conversation with the Crown Prince this time?"

Li Shimin sighed, "I understand one thing now."

Everyone listened attentively.

Li Shimin: "A son grows up and is no longer under the control of his mother."

Everyone: "..."

Li Shimin sighed and recounted the conversation between the two in the East Palace.

Changsun Wuji had a smile on his face. Just as he thought, the prince was indeed well prepared, which was why he made such an impulsive move.

Wei Zheng: "I didn't expect that Su Chen had secretly figured out so much gold, silver and jewelry for the prince."

Li Shimin exclaimed: "He has only been doing business for half a year, and he has come up with 300,000 taels of silver. This man's business talent is really terrifying."

Cheng Zhijie: "Your Majesty, he is good at business, which is a good thing for the Tang Dynasty."

"At least this time, if the Tibetan army dares to cross the line, we can hang them up and beat them."

Li Shimin rubbed his head speechlessly, "It's not a good thing to collect all the people's wealth in one person."

"However, since the Crown Prince is confident, I will see how big a fuss they can make this time."

Wei Zheng glanced at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji's words finally worked and made Li Shimin make certain concessions.

But how the prince can handle the situation this time depends on his ability.

wrong.

And there is Su Chen.

……

Fan Yang.

The second branch of the Lu family.

Lu Jingcheng fell into silence as he looked at the letter that the servant had just delivered.

Lu Chengsi has been detained by the Dali Temple and has given out many of his clan members. Prince of Qi Li You is on the way.

The Li family is really going to take action against our Lu family!

Lu Jingcheng took a deep breath, put down the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Has there been any news from the eldest house?"

"Master, there is no news from the first house yet."

Lu Jingcheng's face darkened. What was the eldest wife doing so proud of? What was Lu Chengqing doing?
We are all descendants of the Lu family. Aren’t we willing to lend a helping hand at this time?
"Big brother."

At this time, a familiar voice was heard outside. Lu Jingcheng looked up and saw that it was Lu Jingqing from the third room and Lu Jingdao from the fourth room.

Lu Jingcheng stood up and asked, "Why are you here together?"

Lu Jingqing's face was serious, "Brother, have you heard about Lu Chengsi's affairs?"

Lu Jingcheng nodded, "I just received the news."

Lu Jing said: "Lu Chengsi can't stay!"

Lu Jingcheng glanced at Lu Zhengdao and motioned for the two to sit down and talk.

Lu Jingdao said in a deep voice: "Lu Chengsi actually sold out all the Lu family members just to save his life. If we let him live..."

"Fourth brother, you still haven't figured out the current situation!"

Lu Jingcheng interrupted Lu Jingdao and said, "This is because the Li family wants to take action against our Lu family, not because of Lu Chengsi."

"Lu Chengsi just gave them a chance to take action!"

Lu Jing said: "But if it weren't for him, the Li family wouldn't have this opportunity."

Lu Jingqing waved his hand, interrupting the argument between the two. "The most important thing now is not to think about how to kill Lu Chengsi, but how we should deal with the next thing!"

"Prince Qi Li You is on his way, but there is still no news from the first wife."

"In my opinion, Lu Chengqing is planning to draw a clear line between himself and us."

Lu Jingcheng nodded, "He is now an official of the Li family, so I can understand that he is trying to protect himself." "I don't understand a thing!"

Lu Jingdao said to David, "Isn't he a descendant of the Lu family? Is there no descendant from his first wife who has committed crimes?"

"To put it bluntly, it's because Lu Chengqing is afraid of death and doesn't want to face it together with us!"

Lu Jingcheng waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this."

"The King of Qi is on his way. It will take some time for him to arrive in Fanyang. We can take this opportunity to deal with all the evidence and send away all the people who need to be sent away."

"Brother, there are too many people."

Lu Jingqing shook his head. "Not to mention how many evildoers there are in your second branch, there are no less than 20 in my third branch alone. I think there are no less than 20 in my fourth brother's branch."

"Once we send them away in large numbers, how will we explain when the King of Qi comes?"

"Secondly, the Shao Corporation and the Dong Corporation are all watching us now. If we send them away, wouldn't that be the same as admitting defeat?"

Lu Jingcheng shouted: "Even if you admit defeat, it's better than being beheaded!"

Faced with Lu Jingcheng's scolding, Lu Jingqing and the others fell silent.

Losing face is better than losing your life?

Lu Jingdao sneered, "Brother, what are you afraid of? Fanyang is now in our control. We also have the Cui family who will advance and retreat with us. In addition, there is the Tibetan army in Songzhou. If we overturn the table, we may not lose!"

Facing Lu Jingdao's rebellious remarks, Lu Jingcheng's scalp suddenly tingled, "How many troops do the Cui and Lu families have to resist the Shen Ce Army and the Qianniu Guards?"

"Once we take action, Li Chengqian will definitely transfer his troops to Fanyang. How can we resist with our manpower?!"

"Even if the Tibetan army in Songzhou really breaks through the defense line, how long will it take them to reach us?"

"Have you ever thought about these things?!"

Lu Jing said: "Of course I have considered it. I also contacted Yuan's and Shao's. They all said that they would follow our lead."

"Brother, have you ever thought that once we rebel, will those noble families really remain indifferent?"

"This kingdom doesn't just belong to his Li family, it also belongs to our family! That brat Li Chengqian wants to overturn the table, but he is not qualified enough!"

"I have contacted the people in Songzhou and are trying to steal the Songzhou defense map. Once we get the map, we can let the Tibetan army in!"

"As for the Kong family in Henan Province, Sun Fujia has already led people there. I don't believe that Baosheng Hou will remain indifferent and willingly hand over the children of the family to Sun Fujia for handling!"

Lu Jingcheng was furious, "Stupid!"

"You are going to make my Lu family be cursed by the world and be infamous for eternity!"

Lu Jing said: "Brother, it's already this time, why are you still concerned about this?"

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The Li family can rule the country, so why can't our Lu family do the same?"

"Besides, is it our Lu family who wants to rebel? It is the Li family who forces us to rebel!"

Lu Jingcheng rubbed his head vigorously. He had always been aware of Lu Jingdao's audacity, but he did not expect that at this time, he would actually rebel directly!

Lu Jingdao once again revealed a big secret, "Brother, don't hesitate, among the people that the King of Qi wants to arrest this time, there is also Cheng En!"

Lu Jingcheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he grabbed Lu Jingdao, "What did Chengen do that you helped him clean up the trouble?"

"It's not a big deal, just raping some women..."

Snapped!
Lu Jingcheng slapped him angrily, "Lu Jingdao, do you still remember your uncle's teachings before he died? Are you still a member of my Lu family?"

Lu Jingdao said angrily: "It's your son who did this good deed. What does it have to do with me? If he wasn't your son, if he wasn't kneeling in front of me, crying and begging me to help him, do you think I would help him?!"

Lu Jingcheng's raised hand dropped down helplessly.

Lu Jingqing said slowly: "Big brother, fourth brother, no matter whether it is Cheng'en or other clan members, what they have done is our Lu family's own business."

“Don’t let the scandal of your family go public!”

"But now, the Li family wants to make our affairs known to everyone, and they also want us to arrest all the children who have made mistakes and punish them according to the law!"

"Brother, are you really willing to watch Cheng En being captured by the King of Qi and beheaded in public?!"

Lu Jingcheng clenched his fists, his face ashen: "This way, at least the lives of other tribesmen can be guaranteed!"

"ridiculous!"

Lu Jingdao sneered, "If you plan to surrender, then just pretend that I have never been here!"

"You guys want to die, but I don't!"

"Fourth brother, fourth brother..."

Lu Jingqing called out twice hurriedly, but Lu Jingdao left without even looking back.

Lu Jingqing sighed and turned his gaze to Lu Jingcheng, "Brother, are you sure you want to send Chengen out?"

"He deserves it!"

Lu Jingcheng gritted his teeth and said, "When he did these bad things, he should have thought about this result!"

Lu Jingqing: "Why bother?"

Lu Jingcheng: "I can't bear to see all the Lu family members being implicated by this!"

"If you are willing to go with Lu Jingdao, then go ahead. I will spread the news that the two of you are not in harmony with me and have left the Lu family."

"Big brother!"

"Go."

Lu Jingcheng aged several years in an instant, and slumped in the chair, motionless.

"In that case, I will take Cheng'en away."

Lu Jingqing sighed, turned around and chased after Lu Jingdao.

"Third brother."

"Brother, do you really want to surrender?"

Lu Jingdao looked at him and Lu Jingqing nodded silently.

"But the eldest brother said that he would draw a clear line between us."

"hehe."

Lu Jingdao sneered, "If they really rebel, it's still unclear whether the Li family can still hold on to their throne!"

"Third brother, you and I will contact Shao and Dong Corporation right now and ask them to prepare!"

"All right!"

Lu Jingqing took a deep breath and said, "Since you have decided to do this, don't show mercy!"

"I see!"

Lu Jingdao smiled coldly.

The person who deserves to die the most here is Lu Chengsi!

If it weren't for his relationship with Lu Chengqing, how could they have arranged for him to go to Chang'an City?

But the result?

But it made them greatly disappointed!
This person cannot be kept!
