Chapter 91 Letter from home

After reading the information sent by Jin Yiwei, Lu Chen's face turned completely dark. In a fit of rage, he tore up the information in his hand.

"It's okay to assassinate the king three times, but now he actually dares to collude with the barbarians and try to use the power of the barbarians to seize the throne!"

"This guy is really a beast, he really has no bottom line at all."

Seeing how angry Lu Chen was, Qin Yushan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Should we release the news that the Eighth Prince colluded with the barbarians?"

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen calmed down. He did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

If the news that Lu Shuyun colluded with the barbarians was released, it would definitely be a blow to Lu Shuyun, but there was no conclusive evidence and there was no way to convict Lu Shuyun.

Moreover, Lu Shuyun's crime of treason could not be settled by him as a vassal king.

This depends on the court's wishes, mainly his father's wishes.

If his father said that Lu Shuyun was treasonous, then Lu Shuyun was the treasonous one. If his father said that Lu Shuyun was not guilty, then Lu Shuyun might not have anything wrong with him.

But having said that, Lu Shuyun’s mother clan is the Wang family, and the next thing his father needs to do is to clean up the family. If his father knows that Lu Shuyun and the Jiangnan family are colluding with the barbarians, he might use this as an excuse to punish them. Take action?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked: "Commander Qin, if my father knew that the Eighth Prince and the aristocratic family colluded with the barbarians to go south, what do you think my father would do?"

Hearing this question, Qin Yushan was stunned for a moment.

After all, this involves the emperor, and Qin Yushan really can't make random guesses.

Lu Chen added at this time: "Just say it."

Seeing what Lu Chen said, Qin Yushan said: "Your Majesty, I think your Majesty will be very angry when he knows the news, but he will not immediately take action against the Eighth Prince and the Jiangnan Family. After all, there are 300,000 barbarians. The army is about to move south, and if we clean up the aristocratic families at this time, I am afraid it will be very detrimental to Daxia."

Lu Chen thought for a while and felt that what Qin Yushan said made sense. If news were released at this time that the eighth prince was colluding with the barbarian army, it might make the conflict between Emperor Xia and the family public.

When the time comes, others will simply stop acting, and the whole of Daxia will be in chaos. This is not what Lu Chen wants to see.

However, it’s not enough to just forget about it.

He had long been unhappy with Lu Shuyun, who had repeatedly sent Xueyue Tower to assassinate him, and now he was doing such treasonous things.

This traitor cannot be allowed to live so freely. He must pay some price.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said: "Pass this king's order and ask Commander Liang to find a way to assassinate the eighth prince. It doesn't have to be successful, but try to get rid of all the important people around the eighth prince.

Lu Chen did this, on the one hand, as a warning to the Eighth Prince, and on the other hand, it was also regarded as revenge against him.

Of course, it would be great if the traitor Lu Shuyun could be eliminated directly.

However, Lu Chen didn't think that Liang Zong and the royal guards in the capital could get rid of a prince in the capital, not to mention that there was a super aristocratic Wang family behind Lu Shuyun.

The Wang family will definitely send many experts to protect Lu Shuyun. Whether Liang Zong and the others can hurt Lu Shuyun is a question.

But no matter whether he could succeed or not, Lu Shuyun could never be allowed to act so wantonly, so rampantly and lawlessly in the capital.

In order to seize the legitimate heir, he actually took the initiative to collude with foreign enemies, completely ignoring the life and death of the people of Beijun.

Although Beijun is already the fiefdom of him, the Northern King, in name, Beijun is also Daxia's Beijun.

If Lu Shuyun succeeded in seizing the legitimate son in the future, Beijun would be considered a place he ruled. However, this guy sold Beijun just to seize the legitimate son.

Lu Chen also knew that his decision to assassinate Lu Shuyun was somewhat emotional, and even doing so might expose Jin Yiwei's whereabouts.

But if he doesn't do something, he really can't let go of his bad breath.

Qin Yushan also saw Lu Chen's inner thoughts. He also knew that Lu Chen must be very angry now, so he suggested: "Your Majesty, although the news that the Eighth Prince colluded with the barbarians is not suitable to be spread for the time being, you can reveal some information to His Majesty. .”

"Your Majesty will definitely mobilize the Shadow Guards to investigate. If it is found that the Eighth Prince colluded with the barbarians, even if he does not punish the Eighth Prince now, after the barbarians go south, he will take out the evidence and deal with the Eighth Prince and the barbarians. Jiangnan Family.”

Originally, Emperor Xia was thinking of finding an excuse to attack the aristocratic family, but in the end, the Jiangnan family went to collude with the barbarians. Wasn't this taking the initiative to hand over the knife to Emperor Xia?

As for sacrificing an eighth prince, it was nothing to Emperor Xia. The eighth prince was the spokesperson of the Jiangnan family, and Emperor Xia had no intention of choosing him as the crown prince.

The royal family was ruthless. Emperor Xia didn't even care about the eighth prince assassinating King Bei, so how could he care about sacrificing an eighth prince.

He had many sons, and the death of one or two was no loss to him.

Moreover, as a grand master, Emperor Xia was still young and strong, so he could make children very quickly.

After hearing Qin Yushan's suggestion, Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "I will write a memorial to my father right now."

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Qin Yushan quickly said: "My lord, you absolutely must not do this."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't you suggest that I reveal something to my father? If I don't write a memorial, how can I reveal to my father about the collusion between the barbarians and the eighth prince? information?"

Qin Yushan said: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that this matter cannot be passed to His Majesty through a memorial. If the Prince writes a memorial, it is a political matter. After Your Majesty knows, he will probably discuss it with the ministers. Moreover, the memorial has not yet reached His Majesty, so others may know its contents."

"If the prince wants this matter to be known to His Majesty, he should write a letter from home. Only a letter from home can be delivered to His Majesty's hands as soon as possible."

In Daxia, the memorials passed down from the local government had to be reviewed by the people below, and some memorials could not reach the hands of Emperor Xia at all.

If what Lu Chen was writing was a memorial, once discovered by the Eighth Prince's people, he would definitely be stopped. There is no doubt about this.

But if it is a letter written from home, it is different. If the letter is written in the name of the Ninth Prince, it will be sent directly to Emperor Xia.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard Qin Yushan's words.

Letter home?

A vassal prince writing a letter home to the emperor?

Has there ever been such an abstract thing in Daxia?

He seemed to have never heard that the prince who became a vassal had to write a family letter to the emperor. When he left to become a vassal, it meant that he would be a minister in the future, and the relationship between father and son was diluted. At this time, would these family letters be a bit confusing? too……

After Lu Chen pondered for a moment, he felt that what Qin Yushan said actually made sense.

If he submitted the memorial himself, it was very likely that the memorial would not reach Emperor Xia's hands.

But letters from home were different. He didn't believe that anyone would even intercept his own letters from home.

Although it is a bit abstract for a vassal king to write a family letter to the emperor, he is not unqualified to write a family letter. After all, even if he is a vassal king, he is still the son of Emperor Xia.
