As for giving the emperor a discount, it's even more of a joke. The folds of qinzheng hall are piled up to make a fire, which is enough for ordinary people to cook for half a month, and it continues to increase every day. As long as the emperor says that he is "staying in the middle but not making a hair", can the minister ask the emperor if he doesn't look at the folds?
Shen Shen asked: "does the emperor want to define this incident as that the adult princes want to get rid of their dissidents before they send assassins to the palace, so as to cause such a disaster?"
Lu Xun said: "nine times out of ten. And the emperor's guess is not necessarily wrong. You forgot the person who actively provided us with the route. Maybe he was among the people who were arrested last night. "
Shen Shen was a little worried: "if that man is also arrested, will he give us a confession?"
Lu Xun is not worried: "if that person is really caught, he will never tell us. He is not a fool. He said that he conspired with others to assassinate the emperor, which is the life of the whole family? There are only two ways for the arrested people to go, or they bite their teeth to endure punishment and refuse to admit anything; Or follow the emperor's will and admit that he wants to murder the prince and plot for the throne. "
Shen Shen thought for a while and then asked, "what if that person is not among the people arrested this time?"
Lu Xun said with a smile: "then he will naturally try to contact us in the future. At that time, he should be worried. We have nothing to worry about."
Shen Shen said, "my subordinates are worried. This man has been hiding in the dark. Every time I think about it, I always feel like a lump in my throat. "
Lu Xun said: "you just look steady, but you are actually an acute person. Dealing with such a person is like playing chess. How can one have to put all the pieces on the table in a quarter of an hour? Lead a hair and move the whole body, before falling, you always have to think about it. You're just a commander now. You can't be like this any more when you become a general and the leader is outside. "
He bowed his head, hands and feet.
Lu Xun thought for a while: "although we didn't kill the emperor and so many princes this time, it will take the imperial court a while to digest. Maybe we will shuffle the cards again. In this way, the pressure on the front line will be reduced a lot. If we can defeat the Imperial Army several times in front of us, maybe the emperor will postpone cutting his vassal. "
Although the emperor in the domestic situation is not very good, strong means to cut the vassal, some irrational. However, it is obvious that King Chen's "Qing Jun side" is more irrational.
For example, this time Lu Xun led people to sneak into the capital to assassinate the emperor. Even if he succeeded, the succeeding emperor would continue to take over the flag of the emperor's vassal cutting even if he slowly made efforts. After all, he had an excuse to inherit the will of the former Emperor, which was better to operate.
The reason why Lu Xun agreed to the action was that although he had the urgent demand of King Chen, he was also fighting for time for the army of King Chen.
Lu Xun suddenly said: "I don't know... What happened to my father now."
Shen Shen comforted him and said, "if you can know the good news, he will be happy. If you are happy, you will feel better."
At first, Shi Xiaorui wondered why these people called Lu Xun Lord, because even the adopted son admitted by King Chen should normally be called Little Lord.
In fact, it's because King Chen experienced the double blow of the death of his son and grandson, and then caught up with the emperor's pressing desire to cut his vassal. He was not young at first, but later he couldn't support himself. In a fit of anger, he went north and soon collapsed. After seeing several doctors, they all said that he was running out of time.
For this reason, he has turned over all his power to Lu Xun, and the subordinates of King Chen have already changed their words and directly called Lu Xun the Lord.
Lu Xun's assassination to the north is also to satisfy King Chen's last wish. He hopes that he can hear some good news before he dies and walk with ease.
Lu Xun sighed and said in a low voice: "I hope that the people under the emperor can keep their consistent level this time, so that the spies of all walks of life can send the news back as soon as possible. Keep one pigeon before you know it. Don't eat all of them. "
Shen Shen immediately advised: "it's safe to kill all the homing pigeons. The Lord can't think like this. Besides, we don't have another team to withdraw smoothly. If they speed up, they will be in time!"
When Lu Xun and Wang Chen set out, they were already struggling.
Like Lu Xun, he lies in bed every day, but his body is declining day by day, and he can't eat anything. It's all up to the servants to pour some ginseng soup into his mouth every day to hang his breath.
When he was about to leave, Lu Xun went to see him for the last time, because he didn't know whether the operation was going well, whether he would be able to come back, and whether Chen Wang would survive until then. Lu Xun thought that he would see him for the last time.
Chen Wang's face was thin and waxy, and he was breathing heavily on the bed. His voice sounded like a bellows. The whole room was muggy and dark. The people who served Chen Wang were as if he had died. There was no expression on his face and stood rigidly by his bed.
Lu Xun stood in front of his bed, not knowing what to say. What he was ready to say to Chen Wang, now he can't remember a word.
Chen Wang opened his eyes, but he didn't seem to be awake. Lu Xun stood for a long time, and he didn't respond at all.
An elderly eunuch next to him was the one Chen Wang had been using. At this time, he gently shook Chen Wang's arm with courage.
After a long time, Chen Wang seemed to wake up from a dream and took a big breath. Then he really saw Lu Xun.
Chen Wang stretched out his thin arm and grasped Lu Xun tightly. But it was just his own feeling. In Lu Xun's feeling, Chen Wang was very weak. Even if he grasped his hand, he was very weak. He could not catch it at any time and fell down.
Lu Xun grabbed Chen Wang's hand with his backhand and called him softly: "father."
Chen Wang's eyes lit up. He looked at Lu Xun's face, which was seven or eight Fen similar to his own when he was young. He opened his mouth difficultly: "OK, ok..."
He spoke too hard, Lu Xun had to guess what he meant: "I'll start right away, father, take care of your health, wait for my good news."
What else did Chen Wang want to say, but the waiting had already taken a lot of time. Lu Xun couldn't wait to start. He put Chen Wang's hand back, looked at him at last, and set out for the capital.
Lu Xun thought of this and sighed silently. If everything had gone well, I would have been on my way back now. Who knew that there had been such an accident. If I could not see King Chen for the last time, it might have been Providence.
