Chapter 234 The storm sweeping across Great Xia is coming

Wang Qingci felt a little aggrieved. He took Tingyulou and fought with the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce, trying every means to get their information, but in the end he found out that the president of the Qianhai Chamber of Commerce was from Lu Chen.

Why didn't Lu Chen tell her earlier? She suddenly felt that Lu Chen didn't trust her anymore, so she didn't ventilate herself.

It's even possible that Lu Chen deliberately let Qian Dahai test him.

Seeing that Wang Qingci seemed a little unhappy, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Master Wang, I only found out today that President Qian is my man."

this……

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci was stunned for a moment.

Just found out today?

This fool is cheating. Qian Dahai belongs to him. How could he only find out today?

Qian Dahai said to Wang Qingci at this time: "Master Wang, what the prince said is right. It was only today that I found out that the prince is my master."

"I came to you to inquire about the North Prince's Mansion before, mainly to verify my guess."

Wang Qingci looked at Lu Chen suspiciously. Lu Chen said that Qian Dahai was his person, but then said that he only found out that Qian Dahai was his person today. Doesn't this mean that Lu Chen had no contact with Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce before? Then why did Qian Dahai become Lu Chen's person?

Wang Qingci felt her mind was a little confused, but she finally believed what Lu Chen said. She felt that there was no need for Lu Chen to send someone to test her. After all, there were Jin Yiwei everywhere in Tingyu Tower, and every move she made was with Jin Yiwei. under surveillance.

Qian Dahai said wisely at this time: "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, the common people will go back first."

Lu Chen said: "Well, you go and do your work."

After Qian Dahai left the study, Lu Chen stared at Wang Qingci with a smile on his face and said, "Why, after you heard that Qian Dahai was mine, did you think I was sending someone to test you?"

Wang Qingci curled her lips and said nothing. She did think so at first, but after thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen really didn't need to send someone to test her.

Her whole body belonged to Lu Chen, and her body and mind had already turned into his shape. There was nothing left to test.

Lu Chen explained at this time: "The situation of Qian Hai Chamber of Commerce is a bit special. I did learn that Qian Dahai is mine only today. He was not sent by me to test you. You can rest assured about this."

Wang Qingci asked curiously: "Why did the prince only know that Qian Dahai is yours today?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You have stayed in the palace for so long, so you should know that I have an immortal master."

The women in the inner courtyard of the palace basically knew that Lu Chen was a person with a destiny for immortality. Anyone who had slept with Lu Chen had experienced the so-called magical treatment, so they did not believe in the fact that Lu Chen had a destiny with immortality. suspect.

Not only the inner courtyard of the palace, but also the soldiers of the Northern Army firmly believed that Lu Chen was a son of destiny who was blessed by immortals.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Wang Qingci was startled, and then he came up with an explanation in an instant, "It turns out that Qian Dahai is the person prepared for the prince by his master."

Wang Qingci thought to herself, how did Lu Chen know that Qian Dahai was one of hers? Qian Dahai had not had any contact with Lu Chen for a long time, so both parties did not know what the relationship between the other party and herself was. If Qian Dahai Dahai is the person Lu Chen's master prepared for Lu Chen, so all this makes sense.

After hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "You are right, Qian Dahai is indeed a talent prepared for me by my master, and there are many people like him."

Wang Qingci said: "The Nu family said that Qian Dahai has been inquiring about you recently. The Nu family thought that he was trying to obtain information from the Northern Palace. Now it seems that he is trying to confirm whether his master is you."

After the words fell, Wang Qingci felt much relieved. All she had to do was make sure that Lu Chen did not doubt her. Lu Chen still trusted her.

At this time, Wang Qingci said: "If nothing happens, I will go back first.

Lu Chen said calmly: "Yes, okay."

Lu Chenan was much calmer today and had no intention of doing anything bad in the study. Someone else should come to see him later, so he continued to sit in the study and wait.

Sure enough, not long after, I heard the maid's voice coming from the door of the study again, "Your Majesty, the young lady of the Dongfang family wants to meet you alone."

Lu Chen said calmly: "Bring her to the study."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, a maid from the palace appeared in the study with a woman wearing a white plain dress.

When Lu Chen saw the woman in front of him, he immediately felt a dazzling light shining on his body. The woman was very beautiful, and her body seemed to be emitting little bits of starlight. Lu Chen started to feel restless just after taking a look at it.

After Dongfang Longyue saw Lu Chen, she immediately saluted and said, "Daughter Dongfang Longyue pays homage to the prince. The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!!!"

Hearing Dongfang Longyue's voice, Lu Chen came back to his senses and said, "Get up."

Lu Chen then used the system to identify Dongfang Longyue's personal information.

[Name: Dongfang Haoyue]

[Identity: The daughter of Dongfang Yi, the head of the Dongfang family, 26 years old this year, at the master level. 】

[Rating: 98]

[Favorability: 50]

【Loyalty: 100】

After seeing Dongfang Longyue's information, Lu Chen was stunned again. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Longyue and Xuanyuan Yunqi's display information were the same, and their favorability and loyalty were also separated.

After coming back to his senses, Lu Chen looked at Dongfang Hagyue again.

Dongfang Longyue wears a white belt around her waist, which perfectly highlights her curvy figure. Her temperament is very similar to Chen Wanrong, and they both belong to the kind of fairy-like women.

However, Dongfang Longyue gave Lu Chen a different feeling. If he were in front of Chen Wanrong and without touching Chen Wanrong's body, it would be difficult for Lu Chen to have any evil thoughts towards Chen Wanrong.

But the first time Lu Chen saw Dongfang Longyue, he had the idea of ​​​​having a relationship with her and letting her give birth to a child for him, and he became extremely restless inside.

Dongfang Longyue had a smile on her lips and a beautiful face, like an intellectual big sister. This reminded Lu Chen of the big sister next door in his previous life.

Of course, Dongfang Longyue was not his sister next door in her previous life, but her image was very similar.

He remembered that the first time he had an impulse towards a woman in his previous life was because he saw his sister next door and wanted to have something happen with her. This is what every man will experience.

Lu Chen couldn't help but think in his heart, he didn't expect that even though he was already the father of several children, he would still have such a heartbeat.

It seems that I have been under too much pressure recently and have not relaxed well. If I had relaxed well, there is a high probability that I would not have such an impulse in my heart.

After Lu Chen came back to his senses, he coughed and said, "I heard that the Dongfang family has recently cooperated with my father. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Dongfang Longyue replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Back to your lord, the father of the civilian girl planned to let the Dongfang family enter the court, so he chose to take the initiative to join your majesty and prepare to cooperate with your majesty to wipe out other aristocratic families."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Your father is not afraid that my father will kill the donkey when the time comes?"

Dongfang Longyue replied: "The Dongfang family has great masters and many merchant ships. In addition, the Dongfang family does not have much fixed land in Daxia. They can leave Daxia at any time. From the perspective of Minnu's father, It is not difficult for the Dongfang family to escape from the Great Xia Dynasty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

The system didn't tell him just now that the Dongfang family had a grand master. If he was added to the list, wouldn't it mean that there were already three grand masters in the Northern Kingdom? The country has three great masters so quickly.

Dongfang Longyue asked at this time: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the Dongfang family needs to move to the North?"

Now that the Son of Destiny has appeared, their family should follow their mission and assist the Son of Destiny.

Now that the Dongfang Family is in Sufeng City, which is quite far away from the Northern Kingdom, if Lu Chen needs anything, they can't mobilize all the family's strength to help Lu Chen immediately, so it's better to move the entire family to the Northern Kingdom.

Of course, if they really did this, they would probably offend many people, including several aristocratic families and Emperor Xia.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said: "It's not necessary for the moment. By the way, since the Dongfang family has cooperated with my father, you should have a rough idea of ​​when my father plans to take action, right?"

Dongfang Longyue replied: "I know, the time is set on the ninth day of next month. His Majesty plans to force the prince and others to Su Feng City first, forcing them to rebel, and then attack them."

"His Majesty has already deployed tens of thousands of elite troops to the southeast coast through the merchant ships of the Dongfang Family. Once the Jiangnan Family and the Crown Prince rebel, His Majesty will send troops as soon as possible. At that time, the Jiangnan Family will attack from both sides. If the Jiangnan Family does not have the support of other vassals, There is a high probability that it will not survive for half a year.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled. He really didn't expect that his father had already prepared to this point. It seemed that he still looked down upon his father.

Lu Chen glanced at Dongfang Longyue's flawless jade face, and then continued to ask: "Is it possible that those aristocratic families also have great masters? If a great master appears by then, what will my father plan to do?"

"This civilian girl doesn't know either, but I heard that in order to completely eliminate several important families in the south of the Yangtze River, your majesty not only sent people to Sifang Mountain and Dingfeng Mountain, but even sent people to Peach Blossom Valley."

After hearing the three place names mentioned by Dongfang Longyue, Lu Chen had basically guessed what his father wanted to do.

It is rumored that there are great masters in these three places. His father sent people to these three places, obviously hoping to find the great masters of these three places to cooperate. If there are great masters from these three places to help his father, It would be easier for his father to destroy the Jiangnan family.

Of course, it would also be a good thing for his father if the great masters of these three places did not help each other.

At this time, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. Once Jiangnan rebelled and the other vassal kings did not take any action, then there should be no problem if his father wanted to destroy the Jiangnan family.

But the key to the problem is that those vassal kings have been suppressed too hard. Some people have long wanted to rebel. Once the Jiangnan family and the prince rebel, will those vassal kings also jump out? When the two forces gather together, At the same time, I am afraid that my father’s wishful thinking will come to nothing.

At this time, Lu Chen was thinking and his eyes swept around Dongfang Longyue's body.

Being stared at so directly by Lu Chen, Dongfang Longyue felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Her loyalty to Lu Chen is naturally 100%, but this does not mean that she particularly likes Lu Chen. She has long heard that Lu Chen is a womanizer and particularly likes beautiful women, even her own aunt.

Although Lu Chen is no longer the trash he was rumored to be, it does not mean that Lu Chen is no longer lewd. Dongfang Longyue can't help but wonder if Lu Chen is taking a fancy to her when he stares at her so directly. own body.

Those men were like this when she was in Sufeng City. They wanted to marry her just after looking at her a few times.

At this time, Dongfang Longyue thought in her heart that Lu Chen was the son of destiny. If Lu Chen really wanted his own body, I'm afraid the entire Dongfang family would agree. Then would she marry to the North Palace and become Lu Chen's concubine? ?

Although she couldn't say how much she disliked Lu Chen, this arranged marriage still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Dongfang Longyue took a look at Lu Chen at this time. Lu Chen's cheeks were very handsome and angular, and there seemed to be an imperial aura between his eyebrows, making people want to surrender.

If she only looked at Lu Chen's appearance, there would be nothing wrong with marrying him, but she was used to being free and didn't really want to marry into an emperor's family.

A son of destiny like Lu Chen will definitely become an emperor in the future, and not just any ordinary emperor. If she becomes his woman, let alone the intrigues in the harem, she will basically be able to stay in the palace in the future. Until death.

After Lu Chen pondered for a while, he said, "Miss Dongfang, have I heard that you have an engagement with the prince?"

Dongfang Longyue replied: "Yes, the main reason why the folk girl came to the North Country was to escape from the engagement with the prince."

Seeing Lu Chen mention the engagement, Dongfang Longyue became even more convinced that Lu Chen was interested in her.

Lu Chen continued to ask: "Miss Dongfang doesn't want to marry the prince. Is it because she has something in her heart?"

Dongfang Longyue replied: "A common girl has no one she likes yet."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Longyue continued: "Your Majesty, just call me the folk girl Longyue."

Now that the entire Dongfang family is a vassal family of the North Palace, there is no need for Lu Chen to respect her so much. Lu Chen's excessive respect for her made her feel pressure.

Lu Chen said: "Well, from now on, I will call you Haoyue."

"Longyue, when you go back later, write a letter to your father and tell him that the king has placed a Jin Yiwei in Su Feng City. If you need anything, you can contact the Jin Yiwei directly, or you can keep in touch with me through the Jin Yiwei."

Having said this, Lu Chen directly took out a Jin Yiwei badge and placed it on the desk, "This is the identity badge used by Jin Yiwei. You can send it to Su Feng City as well."

Hearing this, Dongfang Longyue looked at the identity card on the table, then walked to the identity card and picked up Jin Yiwei's identity card.

This identity card is a blank identity card. It is mainly for Dongfang Yi to identify Jin Yiwei. It has no other function.

"Folk girls know it."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, if nothing happens, you can go back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the daughter of the people is retiring."

Dongfang Longyue saluted again. After the salute, he turned around and left. Looking at Dongfang Longyue's graceful figure when she left, Lu Chen smiled mockingly to himself.

He has fallen too hard. When he sees a beautiful woman, he wants to possess her. Is this the change brought about by power?

Then Lu Chen rubbed his temples and stopped thinking about it.

at the same time.

Daxia, Beijing.

East Palace.

Today's East Palace is not as lively as usual. There were many officials coming to the East Palace some time ago. During this time, there were suddenly fewer people.

On the one hand, it was because the officials in the court were aware of Emperor Xia's idea of ​​deposing the crown prince. On the other hand, Lu Shuyun was aware of what was about to happen, so he asked those officials who had a good relationship with him to meet with him as little as possible.

At this time, most of the people in the main hall were members of the Jiangnan family.

Lu Shuyun sat in the main hall and glanced at everyone. At this time, Wang Chengshuo, the Minister of War, said: "Your Highness, it is a certainty that His Majesty will send troops. No matter how we try to stop it, it will be useless."

"Some time ago, Huanyu Academy and some Daqian people entered Daxia and brought the Daqian plague into Daxia. Regardless of whether the plague has spread or not, His Majesty will use this as an excuse to send troops."

"We have to prepare in advance."

After hearing Wang Chengshuo's words, Lu Shuyun fell into silence.

Of course he knew that his father had planned to take action against the Jiangnan family, but his position was a bit awkward. First of all, he was the son of Emperor Xia, and secondly, the Jiangnan family had a very close relationship with him.

If he did not follow the Jiangnan family in rebellion, after the Jiangnan family was destroyed, his position as prince would definitely be abolished. There is no doubt about this.

The reason why he was able to become the prince in the first place was entirely because of his father's compromise with the Jiangnan family. If his backing was gone, how could he still hold the position of prince.

But if he rebels with the Jiangnan family, not to mention that his unfilial behavior will be despised by others, the possibility of their success is also very small, and if they fail in the end, his end will not be good.

After thinking about it, Lu Shuyun finally made up his mind. The Jiangnan family was completely tied to him. He could not retreat at this time. If he could not take over, his end would only be worse.

Seeing that Lu Shuyun had been silent for a long time, Wang Yong said from the side: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is forcing you to rebel. We have no way out. If the Jiangnan family is gone, your position as prince will also be destroyed." abolition."

Emperor Xia did not directly send troops south, but kept exerting pressure, hoping to force Lu Shuyun to go south. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emperor Xia wanted to find a legitimate reason to get rid of the Jiangnan family.

Now that the conflict between Emperor Xia and the Jiangnan Family has been put on the table, a war is bound to break out. Even if the Jiangnan Family does not rebel, there is only a butcher's knife waiting for them.

The plague in Daqian is the best excuse. Emperor Xia can not only use the plague in Daqian to send troops south, but also use the plague infection to wipe out the Jiangnan aristocratic families. At that time, Emperor Xia can completely declare to the outside world that those aristocratic families have been affected by the epidemic Killed by the plague.

Even if people know that the plague is just an excuse, it will not have any impact. After all, the Jiangnan aristocratic families have been wiped out, which can have a good effect of killing chickens and warning monkeys. It doesn't matter if any aristocratic families dare to jump out and go against Emperor Xia in the future. must.

Even if a noble family jumps out, Emperor Xia can still wield the sharp blade he prepared. Now that several major dynasties have their own matters to resolve, and there are no external conflicts in Daxia, Emperor Xia can do whatever he wants.

After listening to Wang Yong's words, Lu Shuyun stood up from his seat and said, "I will ask my father tomorrow morning to let me lead my troops south to control the plague."

After hearing Lu Shuyun's words, everyone was relieved. The prince had finally made up his mind. What they were most worried about was that Lu Shuyun would shrink back at this time.

Lu Shuyun was the son of Emperor Xia. Of course he still had a way out. If he didn't rebel, at most he would be deposed as the crown prince and put under house arrest.

But the Jiangnan family was different. Without the crown prince as their backbone, their rebellion would not be able to gather the hearts of the people.

With the crown prince, they will be able to go north under the banner of Qing Jun, pull Emperor Xia down from that position, and then support Lu Shuyun to ascend to the throne.

In the morning of the next day, Lu Shuyun took the initiative to propose to Emperor Xia that he would lead troops south to help the people in the south resist the plague.

Emperor Xia agreed without thinking.

Most officials already knew what would happen next. Some officials related to the Jiangnan Family submitted their resignations one after another, citing various reasons for resigning.

These officials were just the talkers of the aristocratic family. Emperor Xia did not touch them directly, they were just minor players. Emperor Xia was waiting for Lu Shuyun to raise his troops.

Once Lu Shuyun raised an army, his reasons would be sufficient. As for how many people the war would bring suffering and how many people's homes would be destroyed, these were not what Emperor Xia considered.

At this time, Emperor Xia wished that Lu Shuyun could drag a few more aristocratic families into trouble, and then he could deal with them together.

The current situation is that Lu Shuyun knows that his father is sending troops south to force them to rebel, and Emperor Xia also knows that Lu Shuyun and the Jiangnan family have guessed that he is sending troops south to force them to rebel, but Lu Shuyun and the Jiangnan family still cannot Not contrary.

If they didn't fight back, Emperor Xia's sword would fall directly.

As the officials of the Jiangnan family left the court one after another, the storm that swept through the entire Great Xia finally came.

Emperor Xia had no retreat, and neither did Lu Shuyun and the Jiangnan family.

Most of the officials who were still in the court were not in a hurry to take sides. For them, it was the same whether Lu Shuyun or Lu Xingqiu was the Xia Emperor.
