Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight.

After the coalition forces set off, Ji Yan seemed to deliberately alienate Zi Yan again, and the two rarely met. It was not until 30,000 Wu troops entered the palace that Zi Yan learned about Ji Yan's big moves.

In Zi Yan's view, Ji Yan's actions were a strategy that a king should have, and it did not conflict with him avenging himself, so she was eager to find Hua Chen and questioned in person why he interfered in the internal affairs of Shandong and why he wanted to stop Ji Yan from avenging himself. Of course, the second point is the main reason.

Because of Hua Chen's injury, the entire Jiaofang Hall was blocked. Except for Zi Yu, Qinghan, Zheng Wenzhong and other generals, no one could enter. Later, Zi Yan found Qinghan and wanted Qinghan to take him in, but Qinghan told her that Hua Chen had just woken up and would talk about it later. And his tone was firm, as if he was worried about her husband's health.

After waiting for three or four days, Zi Yan didn't get the chance to see Hua Chen until this morning. At this time, she had learned that the coalition forces had already rushed to Philadelphia and had not been affected by the drastic changes in Qufu City. The heaviest stone in her heart was put down.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Zi Yan asked him to let Ji Yan go after seeing Hua Chen. In Zi Yan's opinion, Ji Yan was kind to him and Ji Sun, and pleading for him at this time was much more realistic than anything else. Isn't this just repaying his kindness?

Zi Yan's request was rejected directly by Hua Chen. She was already upset, but Hua Chen decisively refused again. Zi Yan's unruly temperament that had been silent for a long time erupted again. Taking advantage of Hua Chen's inattention, Zi Yan pounced on her like a clever little raccoon cat, grabbed Hua Chen's white and slender right hand, opened her mouth and whispered. It was precisely because of this that Hua Chen sent someone to call Ji Yan to the Jiaofang Hall.

Finally, when Ji Yan left, Hua Chen agreed to his request: not tell Zi Yan the truth. Hua Chen did it. He did not say anything to Zi Yan anymore. It was just that Zi Yan was behind the screen. Using this method to let Zi Yan know the truth is not considered Hua Chen breaking his promise, right?

...

Since the night of life and death competition outside Mengsun's mansion, Hua Chen has been staying in the palace. Hua Chen has left all the "visit" of the heads of various aristocratic families to deal with.

The old wounds have not healed and new injuries have been added. Hua Chen still wants to take a good rest, but the plan has always been unable to keep up with the changes. On the day after Hua Chen was bitten by "Jisun Puppy", Shao Zheng brought nearly 30,000 people back to Qufu.

This time, returning to Qufu was the real return home for Shao Zheng. Last time, he could only be considered a walk around at the doorstep.

Those who were due to come back were back, so Hua Chen naturally could not act like a corpse. On the day when Shao Zhengye and others entered the city, Hua Chen invited the heads of major families in Qufu City to discuss the story in the name of the Prince of Wu. The location was in the villa where he had lived for a long time, not the palace or Xuantai Hall.

That afternoon, most of the powerful people in Qufu City gathered in the not-so-large villa. Now that their power has returned to their hands, they are not as eager to know Hua Chen’s thoughts as they did a few days ago. After all, "having food in their hands" is not panic.

The main hall of the villa seemed a little crowded because of the arrival of more than ten aristocratic heads. These people sat on the fir chairs in sequence according to their respective positions. Hua Chen had not arrived yet, but everyone seemed very quiet. After all, Hua Chen gave up the opportunity to seize the entire Lu Kingdom and did not control them all like Ji Yan and then control the forces that had not returned to Qufu at the time. For this, they remained quite grateful to Hua Chen.

The main hall door opened again, and Hua Chen walked in with the help of Shao Zhenglei and Yang Rui. The moment the door opened, everyone in the audience stood up as if they had agreed. It was not until Hua Chen walked to the main seat inside the room and sat down one after another. No one spoke, so this was not an emperor's ritual, but everyone's tacit actions contained many deep meanings.

Hua Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, looked around everyone and said, "I have neglected all the time due to injuries these days. Hua Chen is here to accompany you first."

"What are you saying, your body is the most important thing", "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter", "Young Master, you're polite"...

After some unexpectedly polite conspiracy, Hua Chen said, "You know that a few days ago, Mr. Lu not only attacked you, but also wanted to keep me in the land under his feet forever. I had no other way to protect myself. Now that the coalition forces have returned, Mr. Lu is under my control, so I asked you to come here today to talk about the future of Lu. As an outsider, I had no right to say such things, but it was just because the situation was forced. Can you understand?"

"Young Master's words are bad. Not to mention the Wu Lu Alliance, it is not an outsider who just preserved the foundations of various major families." The person who spoke was a spirited young man, Shao Zhengmao, the father of Shao Zheng, who had never seen this old man Hua Chen several times, and his impression of him was still in the awkward chat outside the Meiyuan a year ago - the two of them spoke at 0:5 times the speed of speech.

Lu Zheng, who was sitting opposite Shaozhengmao, continued, "Yes, I, Lu, have the most say in this matter. I am loyal to the royal family but almost ended up being destroyed by the clan. If it weren't for the young master, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not to mention discussing the future of Lu, it would be a decision to determine the future of Lu."

As soon as Lu Zheng said this, everyone present calmed down, and a needle fell in the hall could be heard.

Hua Chen's eyes passed through everyone's faces again, then waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Lu Zheng was joking. This is the Lu Kingdom of all the people, and the Lu Kingdom of millions of people. How can it be decided by me?"

After Hua Chen said something, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The fact was there. If Hua Chen had any actions now, the soldiers from all directions would still not be able to return. The situation would not be much better than the time Ji Yan besieged the city.

Seeing the subtle changes of everyone's expressions, Hua Chen changed his tone and said, "Although I will not interfere in the internal affairs of Shandong, the Wu-Lu alliance is still there. I hope that my Wu Kingdom can have an ally that can be relied on to each other rather than a small country that is poor and weak. Therefore, I suggest restoring the Three Huans and jointly managing the government. The other major families will still remain unique. When the state-owned affairs are important, the Three Huans will gather all forces to face it together. To put it simply, harmony will be scattered, and war will be one. What do you think?"

Hiss~ Meng Sun Moyuan, who was sitting at the top of the right, couldn't help but take a deep breath. In fact, a few days ago, he had also entered the palace to meet Hua Chen through his granddaughter. As a result, like Ji Sun Ziyan, he was blocked by Ziyu with the same words as Qinghan. At that time, Ziyu and Qinghan were like two female leopards protecting their children, saying in one sentence: No one is seen.

In addition to the reasons for Hua Chen's health, there is another reason for Ziyu to reject her grandfather. As the former head of the Mengsun family, Ziyu could guess what grandfather had for Hua Chen. This was a very contradictory point for her. In the end, she chose pure and uninterrupted love instead of binding her feelings with her family.

After a light cough, Meng Sun Moyuan said lightly: "I don't know which family there are other than my Meng Sun family and my Shusun family? Is it the declining Ji Sun family?"

Hua Chen said lightly: "That's right, but this Ji Sun family is not the Ji Sun family. Now all the former subordinates of Ji Sun family in Philadelphia have returned to Qufu, but it is difficult to collect the water. There is no reconciliation between them and Ji Sun family. When they left Qufu, they recognized Yang Hu as the main one. Now Yang Hu has passed away, and his son has taken the father's business. The third Huan is Yang."
