It was based on this that Lu Songli decided to talk to Qin Heng. It wasn't that she didn't want to remind the Qin family earlier, but there were some things that couldn't be inferred without enough information.
As the storm was about to come, Lu Desheng took a deep breath and said, "This news gives your previous guesses more basis. You remind me this time that this may not be an opportunity for the Qin family."
Lu Songli shook her head in her heart. The Qin family had worked hard, beaten and scolded them too much. The Song royal family could no longer see the Qin family's efforts. It was natural for the Qin family to do anything for them. It can only be said that her reminder can only make the Qin family try their best to protect the prince, a hot potato.
Looking at his daughter's appearance, Lu Desheng was a little confused. She seemed not optimistic about the prince's safe return?
"If we can bring the prince back safely, wouldn't this crisis be solved for the most part?" Even if Emperor Kang Cheng dies and the prince succeeds to the throne, there will still be a situation of one emperor and one courtier, and he may no longer be reused. But isn’t the crisis of the Qin family solved?
Lu Songli nodded. Indeed, if the Qin family could protect the prince and return safely, half of the crisis would be resolved. However, she felt it was not that easy.
"You've already reminded the Qin family, are they still unable to do this?" Lu Desheng's voice was already filled with displeasure.
The reason why she was not optimistic was not because of the Qin family, but because of the prince.
Their Highness, the Crown Prince, is influenced by Confucianism, has a kind temperament, and is kind to others. He is good at everything, but he is a bit too pedantic.
In Lu Songli's view, the prince has mediocre qualifications, is insensitive to politics, and is not a qualified successor.
Take the matter of him going north to work in the army, Emperor Kangcheng's dragon body was already like this. It was wrong for him to leave Chang'an at the time of the transfer of power. At this time, the successor should strive to ensure a smooth transition of power, which is a responsible attitude towards the dynasty and the people. Because when power changes, turbulence is most likely to occur, and turmoil is actually a consumption of national power. National power includes resources and talents.
If, as the prince and successor, he did not know the true physical condition of his old father, it shows how poorly he controls the people in the palace he is about to inherit. Especially in contrast to the fact that his brothers were already vaguely aware that the emperor was not in the right state.
Moreover, according to the internal information she received, regarding the prince's northward labor force, it was the minister who proposed in a letter, and Emperor Kang Cheng himself was still hesitant about whether to send the prince. After the prince learned about it, he actually asked to go north to work in the army!
Lu Songli didn't know what the prince's decision was based on. Is it just for a little fame?
Well, since we have decided to go north to labor and inspire the border generals, it is also a good thing. But even Qin Silang knew how to take a shortcut when he returned to Chang'an, and the prince actually took the official road to the north slowly. Shouldn't this matter be resolved quickly? Originally, the prince went to the north to work for the army, which was an encouragement to the soldiers and played the role of a mascot. Wouldn't it be better to arrive in the north earlier, finish things earlier, and return earlier?
The son of a rich man will not sit down in court. A responsible successor to the dynasty, it is also his own responsibility to protect himself and ensure that he succeeds smoothly.
If you can control the whole scene, that's totally fine.
But Lu Songli felt that the result would not be optimistic because the people behind the scenes would not allow it.
After Lu Songli explained this, Lu Desheng also felt that the prince's mind was worrying. The key is that his brain is not good, and they are the ones who are affected.
Lu Songli's eyes fell on a piece of paper at hand, and she saw information about the princes under Emperor Kang Cheng's knees written on it.
After looking at it for a few times, she put it down, then couldn't help pinching the center of her eyebrows, staring and sighing. When Emperor Kangcheng's dragon body was sinking due to the elixir, the conspiracy underneath was already surging, and countless conspirators and careerists were... Waiting for the opportunity. I don’t know how long this web has been woven, and the prince is also part of their web.
It's a pity that before, the Lu family was only focused on fighting with the Zhao and Xie families, and the other party's plan was also in a stasis period, so she was not aware of it.
"Daughter, if that doesn't work, let's break off the engagement? The Qin family's current situation is too dangerous," Lu Desheng said.
After all, he has been in power for many years. Although he has not had much contact with the prince because he is a neutral royalist, he still knows something about the prince. His Royal Highness, with his mediocre talents, is indeed not that kind of hero with iron-blooded skills. His temperament is benevolent at best, and soft at worst.
One of his strengths is that he is willing to listen to other people's opinions or suggestions, but he lacks decisiveness and appears hesitant when dealing with things.
The prince's problem is either that his ears and eyes are blocked, or that there is something wrong with his think tank.
If it is the latter, the prince is afraid that he will be finished.
Lu Desheng felt that the problem was difficult, and the Lu family would not take this trip into troubled waters. break off an engagement! Cut off their connection with the Qin family from the source.
Lu Songli shook his head, not optimistic about his proposal, "I'm afraid not."
Her marriage to Qin Sheng was a marriage granted by the Queen Mother. If his father proposed to retire from the relationship with the emperor, and Emperor Kang Cheng agreed, it would be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother, and he would not agree. If her father bets on the gold medal to avoid death, and the relationship between him and the emperor, maybe it can be done.
But the death-free gold medal cannot be moved. Otherwise, once Emperor Kang Cheng dies, the Empress Dowager will be disgusted with the father and daughter. Without this death-free gold medal to protect themselves, the whole family will be in trouble.
"Dad, don't leave the Qin family in a hurry." Lu Songli wanted to laugh when she saw her father treating the Qin family like a hot potato.
If the new emperor who succeeds is not a prince, then their Lu family will not be much better than the Qin family. Her father had been so close to Emperor Kang Cheng, and if the new emperor's position was improper, he would definitely be suspicious of Emperor Kang Cheng's close ministers. The emperor and his ministers were not just words.
Therefore, don't be in a hurry to dislike the Qin family. In the eyes of others, they are also disliked.
Lu Desheng understood and was discouraged. In other words, it is known that someone is plotting something, and the Lu family cannot escape from this conspiracy.
If they work together, they will both benefit, and at least they can help each other; if they divide, they will suffer two harms, and they may be defeated one by one.
"Dad, the problem is not big, there will be a solution."
Lu Songli has a stable mentality and solves problems when they encounter them. Sometimes escaping is useless. When storms come, just respond proactively.
Lu Songli's calmness caused Lu Desheng to also calm down.
"What should we do next?" Lu Desheng asked.
Lu Songli was also thinking about this issue.
As for the Qin family, there isn't much they can do. Since she has already reminded her and the other party is implementing it, she can put it aside. As for the prince, it depends on the Qin family. Let’s try to make as much money as possible.
Next, it depends on how the Lu family will deal with the upcoming political turmoil.
Now that they have noticed the clues, they cannot passively allow the other party to do anything and calculate.
"Dad, which prince do you think the person behind the scenes will be?" Lu Songli decided to find out the person behind the scenes first. As the old saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
When Lu Desheng heard this, he also became energetic. Yes, he wanted to find the evil new emperor first. Come, let him see which prince is so ambitious that he overthrew his brother and his father and took the throne himself.
Lu Songli: "It's a pity that the little eunuch whom Eunuch Li bumped into who was inquiring about the emperor's inside story with Wei Zili was very unfamiliar, and later accidentally drowned. Otherwise, if we follow the clues and investigate, we should be able to find out some of the people behind the scenes. Information."
"Wei Zili should have some idea of who would buy information from him," Lu Desheng said.
Lu Songli felt the same way.
"Leave this to me and I'll go communicate with him."
Once Emperor Kangcheng collapsed, Wei Zili would not end well.
Lu Desheng felt that he should be able to tell whether they were all grasshoppers on the same line, or those born after autumn. They were all trying to kick their legs and wave their wings to save themselves. If Wei Zili knew what was going on, he would cooperate with them. If he didn't, he would die.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, dad."
