Li Xiaozheng was naturally the first to step out. "The eldest prince, this is a brilliant plan. This plan is wonderful."
A group of ministers agreed.
Xia Jiuyuan looked at Huo Yingluan and said, "Huo Shangshu, what do you think?"
"Although I advocate fighting vigorously! But I think the eldest prince's strategy is more appropriate." Huo Yingluan also knew very well that the emperor had expressed his position.
If you are talking about it yourself, you are out of touch.
After all, the national power of Da Zhou was almost the same as that of Da Xia.
And according to his father, it was not peaceful for the Northern Liang Kingdom to see that a war was about to break out between Dazhou and Daxia.
They could not guarantee that Beiliang would not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack during the war with Dazhou.
"Okay! If that's the case, let's do this. However, who wants to go on this mission?" Xia Jiuyuan said.
"My son is willing to go! We can also ask Concubine Shu and Eunuch Lu, the supervisor of the shrine, to come with us!" Xia Wenzhi said directly.
"Shu Bin? And Eunuch Lu?" Xia Jiuyuan said with some confusion.
"Father, Eunuch Lu's talent and eloquence make him a perfect ambassador! Secondly, Empress Shu is Zhou Linyuan's biological sister. If Empress Shu is willing to speak out, I believe she will get twice the result with half the effort!" Xia Wenzhi said He said according to what Lu Qian said.
Indeed, this reason is sound and well-founded.
When Lu Qian told Xia Wenzhi, he was thinking of going on a trip at public expense, and he could live in two trees with Shu Bin.
"I second the proposal! The eldest prince came up with this plan. If he implements it, it will definitely be better." Huo Yingluan took a step forward and said before Xia Jiuyuan could speak.
Seeing Huo Yingluan say this, a group of generals also agreed.
Although Li Xiaozheng and the others knew that Huo Yingluan and the others were not holding anything back, they could only second the proposal at this time.
Seeing that it was rare for everyone to have such a unified opinion, he said, "Okay, then I will order you to form a mission! Choose a day to set off! If you live up to your mission this time! I will give you a big reward for the disaster relief and this time." !」
"Thank you, Father!" Xia Wenzhi knelt on the ground excitedly.
Some of the ministers present were beaming with joy, while others were ashen-faced.
Everyone understands that Xia Jiuyuan was talking about enfeoffment before!
Even bigger than this is the crown prince!
...
Inside Jingyang Palace.
After listening to what her brother Huo Yingluan said, Concubine Hua dropped the cup heavily to the ground.
"Brother, why didn't you stop it! Why didn't you help them!" Concubine Hua said bitterly.
"Sister! You are confused. It is obvious that there is an expert behind Xia Wenzhi!"
"This master is the newly appointed Minister of Household Affairs, Liu Shiqing! That short-sighted man, our Ningping gave him a chance, but he actually humiliated our Ningping family," Concubine Hua said bitterly.
"Oh, and now? What's going on?" Huo Yingluan asked curiously.
Concubine Hua started talking. Last time they guessed that Liu Shiqing was the master behind Xia Wenzhi.
Ning Ping wanted to assassinate Liu Shiqing.
When Ning Ping first started to seduce him, Liu Shiqing didn't refuse.
Who would have known that when Ning Ping was in a hurry, Liu Shiqing actually refused and started reading with a book.
In fact, Liu Shiqing was completely influenced by Lu Qian and wanted to practice concentration.
After hearing this, Huo Yingluan's face became more serious and he praised, "He is indeed an expert. I have also heard about the recent series of new regulations and measures of the Ministry of Household Affairs! It shows that this person is indeed not simple, so we should make him work for us even more. .”
What Concubine Hua heard was in confusion.
"If we were in the Imperial City, under His Majesty's nose, we wouldn't be able to do many things. But, they are going to Yanmen Pass on this trip! It's a long road, and no one knows what will happen. If something unexpected happens to the eldest prince... .." Huo Yingluan stopped talking.
Concubine Hua's eyes lit up and she said, "Brother...what do you mean..."
"That's right... Once the eldest prince is gone, I believe that Liu Shangshu also knows very well how to adjust the wind.
Xiang. Huo Yingluan said.
"Brother, you are so wise!" Concubine Hua also wiped away her sad face.
...
In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, it was very lively today.
Li Xiaozheng and the others ignored Xia Nihuang's presence and went to find Lu Qian.
Although the method given by Lu Qian is very good.
However, no one can guarantee that everything will be safe along the way.
Moreover, the support given by Huo Yingluan and a group of military generals just now clearly indicated that they had murderous intentions.
Lu Qian heard their purpose and said with a smile, "Li Shoufu, you still don't trust me."
Li Xiaozheng said, "Mr. Lu, it's not that I don't trust you...it's actually a matter of great importance...For the Huo family, it's easy to find hundreds of dead soldiers!"
"Since I dare to say it, I naturally thought of a perfect strategy. I must know that Lord Cheng Guo has a shadow guard team, which is full of masters who are as good as ten." Lu Qian said with a smile.
Li Xiaozheng looked at Lu Qian with a shocked face and asked, "Is there any way you can get that shadow guard to escort you?"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Of course! Moreover, I will not reveal any information. Let them help secretly!"
Duke Cheng Guo's shadow guard can be regarded as a legend in the history of Daxia. Lu Qian also heard about it when he asked about the former concubine.
When Cheng Guogong was young, his reputation was even greater than Huo Xiaolin's today.
The most famous one is his shadow army.
This regiment was established by Cheng Guogong's father. They started training from the children and screened them all the way. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is equal to ten!
The Shadow Army initially had five thousand people. With this army, Duke Cheng was invincible on the battlefield!
Later there was no war.
The emperor was also afraid of this army and ordered him to disperse these people into various armies.
Only a 100-man escort was left for Duke Cheng Guo.
It is said that the group left by Duke Cheng Guo is the elite among the elite.
When Li Xiaozheng saw Lu Qian's vow, he was completely convinced.
"You are an old man...Mr. Lu is the mastermind! We, the Li family, will remember your kindness to us! From now on, whenever you need help, we will never hesitate to help you!" Li Xiaozheng respectfully expressed his loyalty to Lu Qian .
Lu Qian's help to them is obvious. Just now, the emperor actually wants to make Xia Wenzhi the crown prince!
Moreover, he found that he still underestimated Lu Qian! You must know that Duke Cheng Guo has a very weird character. He never expected that just by opening his mouth, Lu Qian would send out his favorite shadow guard. Although Lu Qian is in the palace, nothing seems to be able to trouble him.
Lu Qian said he was tough, but he didn't know whether Concubine Xi was willing to help.
"You're welcome, Chief Li. Before I go on my mission, I really have a favor to ask of you." Lu Qian thought that after he left the imperial city, he did have something to ask them for help. He was not polite and said with a serious face.
Seeing Lu Qian being so serious, Li Xiaozheng replied with a serious face, "Mr. Lu, as long as you say it, we will agree to it!"
