Chapter 660: You are not kidding

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After arriving in front of Lu Fan, the old eunuch knelt on his knees and saluted Lu Fan.

Because he already knew that Emperor Qian would pass the throne to Lu Fan after the Tianjiao Competition.

Lu Fan would be the next Emperor Qian.

So at this moment, he saluted Lu Fan directly, which was considered to be an attitude.

Although Lu Fan would leave with Emperor Qian after he succeeded to the throne and continue to serve the old Emperor Qian.

But the right attitude must be there.

After all, if the new emperor is dissatisfied with him, it will not be a good thing after all.

And he also knew clearly that the crown prince Lu Fan was too hidden, and the forces under his command were very strong.

In the future, Daqian will inevitably shine with unimaginable glory in Lu Fan's hands.

So this great gift is both his attitude and an expectation for Lu Fan.

Looking at the old eunuch saluting him, Lu Fan smiled and helped him up from a distance.

"Eunuch Li, did the emperor ask me to come to the palace to see him again?"

The old eunuch smiled and nodded: "Your Highness is wise."

"Let's go, I just happen to have something to discuss with the emperor."

He took Cao Zhengchun and Ronglie and rode into the palace in the dragon sedan chair sent by his father.

After arriving at the Yangxin Palace, Lu Fan asked Cao Zhengchun and Ronglie to wait outside and walked in.

After entering, he found that in addition to his father and his fifth uncle, there were two prime ministers and two generals.

After seeing Lu Fan coming in, Emperor Qian Lu Zheng smiled and waved to Lu Fan to sit over.

The two prime ministers and two generals stood up and saluted Lu Fan: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

While saluting, they were also secretly looking at Lu Fan.

Although they have been talking about Lu Fan recently, this is the first time they have seen Lu Fan back in the imperial capital.

After just one look, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Is this really the crown prince?

The prince they had met before was cowardly, always lowering his head, and dared not look at people when talking.

But the prince in front of them had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his face was cold. There was a breathtaking power in his eyes like stars, which made people dare not look directly at him.

At this moment, when they faced Lu Fan, they felt more oppressive than when they faced Emperor Qian Lu Zheng.

This made them more uneasy.

If it were other civil officials and military generals, Lu Fan might not have a good attitude, but facing these four, he still smiled and nodded.

Not because of anything else, just because these four people were also on Tong Tian’s investigation list, and they all belonged to the neutral faction.

Although they secretly didn’t know whether they had any collusion with the four people of Ning Wang and Wei Wang, at least they belonged to the neutral faction on Tong Tian’s investigation list.

So Lu Fan didn’t treat them coldly.

Being able to sit in this position proves that their ability and strength are still sufficient, otherwise they can’t become prime ministers and generals.

So as long as these four guys know the current situation, he doesn’t mind giving them a chance to surrender.

After Lu Fan sat down, Emperor Qian Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Fan'er, this is the left prime minister Fei Zhong, this is the right prime minister Pang Zan, and these two are the general of the Black Armor Army Chu Yun'an and the general of the Iron Blood Guard Wu Huan."

As Lu Zheng introduced them, Lu Fan smiled and nodded again.

After introducing the four people, Emperor Qian looked at them and said: "You all know Fan'er, so I won't introduce him any more."

"In the future, you four must assist Fan'er well. If Fan'er has any shortcomings, don't be stingy with your suggestions, hahahaha..."

After Emperor Qian said this, the two prime ministers and the two generals all shrank their eyes, and a storm was set off in their hearts.

When Lu Fan came here just now, they had already guessed it in their hearts.

At this moment, after Lu Zheng said this in person, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.

After all, Lu Zheng's words almost made it clear that Lu Fan would become the next Emperor Qian.

You must know that the king does not joke.

The reason why the four of them did not stand in line to support the four people of Ning Wang and Wei Wang was because the four of them were only loyal to Emperor Qian.

Because they knew clearly that no matter how powerful the four princes were, the one who was in power was still Emperor Qian.

If Emperor Qian was running out of time or was seriously ill, that would be fine, they would definitely have some plans.

But now Emperor Qian was in his prime, his blood was extremely strong, and he had no injuries.

It was unknown how long it would take for Prince Ning and Prince Wei to take the throne.

And even if they took the throne, maybe Emperor Qian would also rule behind the scenes and become a retired emperor.

They had been ministers for decades and knew clearly the iron-blooded methods of Emperor Qian.

Compared with Emperor Qian, the methods of Prince Ning and Prince Wei were just like children playing house.

So the four of them chose to refuse the solicitation of Prince Ning and Prince Wei, and were only loyal to Emperor Qian.

After all, all their power came from Emperor Qian.

Only by following Emperor Qian closely could they be prime ministers and generals.

If they made a choice now, it would be equivalent to betraying Emperor Qian, and the power in their hands would instantly vanish.

Without power, they are nothing.

Because they know this clearly, they have been loyal to Emperor Qian from beginning to end.

Emperor Qian also knows this, so he will tell them this openly at this moment.

It is equivalent to telling them in advance that Lu Fan is the next Emperor Qian.

And according to their understanding of Emperor Qian, if Emperor Qian says this at this moment, then the new emperor will definitely not be far away from taking the throne.

This news was beyond their expectations and caught them off guard.

Fortunately, they were not stupid people. They reacted quickly and stood up and saluted respectfully:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will do our best to assist Your Highness and work hard for Daqian until our death."

Seeing the four guys express their opinions, Emperor Qian laughed with satisfaction.

"Hahaha... OK, OK, OK, Fan'er, you should listen to their opinions more in the future. They are all old ministers with rich experience and will give you good advice."

"Yes, father!" Lu Fan nodded with a smile, and stood up again to clasp his fists to the two prime ministers and two generals.

"Thank you, two prime ministers, thank you, two generals."

"Your Highness, you are polite. This is what we should do." The four people hurriedly stood up to return the greeting. How dare they accept Lu Fan's greeting calmly.

After all, Lu Fan is now confirmed to be the new Emperor Qian, so how dare they put on airs.

"Okay, no need to be polite, sit down."

As Lu Zheng's voice fell, everyone sat down again.

Lu Fan looked calm and composed, without any emotional fluctuations, but Fei Zhong, Pang Zan and the other four were still unable to calm down.

They dared not imagine what kind of twists and turns would be caused by the news that Lu Fan became the new emperor.

And the fact that Emperor Qian told them this news in advance at this moment represented great trust.

So they could not calm down at all at this moment.

After Lu Fan glanced at the four people and Lu Fan, he exhaled and said...
