Chapter 32, Untitled
Du Yan is right. An old fox like Wu Chong is still in the dark. If he cannot completely bring him down, as long as he is there, it will be like a nail, piercing him in Luojing City.
One day, the world will fall into chaos again. At that time, the powerful Xianbei, Xiongnu, Jie, Qiang and other Yi tribes will take advantage of the chaos, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
In addition to the forces in the court, among the gentry, who had colluded with Wu Chong, have not been dug out yet. Although the Jiang family of Weiweiqing had already emerged, based on Wu Chong's thoughts, it is certain that this line has been dealt with by them. It is indeed unlikely to find a breakthrough here.
unless......
Lu Zhaoyi suddenly thought of something, and her heart was stern. She raised her eyes and looked at Du Yan.
She had already made a decision in her heart, but she still had some reservations about Du Yan, so she curled her lips slightly, "Since the right prime minister said that, Qi Niang hopes that this cooperation with the right prime minister will be smooth."
Du Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lu Zhaoyi with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her soul.
But she was calm and calm and rushed forward.
At this time, Du Yan stroked his beard and smiled, "Miss Lu's mind is still very deep. I know you still have concerns. Why not, let me make a gentleman's appointment first..."
"When you deal with Wu Sikong and Lu Situ, Du vowed not to target you. After you defeated them one after another, if you want to fight, you will explain in advance and give each other plenty of preparations, can you?"
After he said this, Lu Zhaoyi shook her head and couldn't help feeling a little sarcastic, "Prime Minister Du, do you believe in the nonsense you just said?"
Du Yan's smile froze instantly, a trace of haze flashed through his eyes, and then he returned to normal and continued to smile slightly.
He said, "Miss Lu... may as well rest assured that although I, Du Yan, have personal grudges against you, will not deal with the people in the court in the alliance. However, if there is any friction between you and me during this period, it will definitely be for the national economy and people's livelihood and for the people of the world. How good is that?"
"Okay." Lu Zhaoyi nodded and agreed.
She sneered secretly and thought in her heart: I want to use such sweet words to deceive me, but do you really think I am so innocent?
The grudge between the two of them can be traced back to the Jiangxia battle that determined the fate of Yuanyue, and their battle has never ended since then.
Her eyes fell on the letter beside Du Yan. It should be an investigation letter against Wu Chong. Perhaps, in Du Yan's hands, a fatal handle had been captured by Wu Chong.
However, she didn't know what kind of bargaining chips Du Yan was holding to encourage her to cooperate with him.
There was a vague premonition in her heart that Du Yan came to see her this time not just for cooperation, but for another reason.
Sure enough, Du Yan hadn't finished speaking yet.
He said, "Now you and I have to let go of our grudges for the time being, and face great troubles in the court. The news between you and me still needs to be communicated with each other. The spy network you established in Luojing can do this. Therefore, Du gave this letter to you as a letter of conferment, and you have to tell me what your next action is."
As he said that, he had raised the letter and made a hand-out gesture.
Hearing what he said, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but snort in her heart.
She knew very well that the situation in the court that Wu Chong had jumped from the position of Shaofuqing to Sikong had touched the interests of Du Yan and Lu Lin, and his power continued to grow, and it became so large that it could threaten the imperial power...z.br
You should know that when Heyang Gong was the emperor in the previous dynasty, Duke Wu grew stronger from the position of Sikong, and was able to control the emperor and achieve a role in shocking the world.
And in this situation, it is impossible for those people to continue to perform this drama.
Thinking about this clearly, Lu Zhaoyi nodded and said lightly, "My next move is to go to the death penalty and meet... Zhou Yi! How about it? Am I honest enough, right?"
Du Yan smiled, "Oh? The one who almost asked you to marry back then? Hahaha...between you and Zhou Yi...
..It turns out that the fate is deep!"
Lu Zhaoyi said nothing.
Du Yan's face suddenly calmed down slightly, he stood up from the table, took the letter, walked towards her step by step, and placed the letter on the table in front of her.
"It is rumored that Gou Chenzi can see ten things at a glance and never forget them. Du hopes that you will destroy them immediately after reading this letter. This letter only needs you to know and I know!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed out of the candlestick, took out the fire note he carried with him, lit the candlelight, stretched out his hand, took off the candlestick, returned to Lu Zhaoyi again, and placed the candlestick on the table in front of her.
During this process, Lu Zhaoyi stared at the letter with her eyes tightly. The more she looked back, the tighter the eyebrows became.
At the end, she suddenly clenched her fists, kneaded the letter into a ball of paper, and sat there in anger.
"Let's!" Du Yan stood there, pointing at the candlestick in front of her with his jaw.
Lu Zhaoyi reacted at this time, understood and lowered her head and unfolded the letter again and put it into the candlelight.
The two of them looked at the letter quietly and turned into ashes bit by bit.
It seemed that both of them were stunned and had not moved for a long time. They maintained this posture in this quiet dusk.
Lu Zhaoyi finally recovered. She looked at Du Yan, "What is said in this letter is true?"
Du Yan raised his eyebrows, "Are you questioning our Yue people's ability to collect information?"
How could she question? Even if she was a disciple of Yun Hua's magic doctor, Du Yan could dig it out, so how could she doubt it?
However, the content in this letter was too horrible, which forced her to be cautious.
She was not suspicious of the ability of Yue people to collect information, but the things described here made it difficult for her to believe.
"Wu Chong actually did such a thing! It's incredible."
Du Yan obviously acted more calmly, turned around and walked back to the table and sat down.
"At first, when I saw this letter, I was like your reaction, so mobilized so much that the aristocratic tribes gathered in Hanoi, and your 50,000 Qingzhou troops mobilized the border of Dai County, which led to the emptiness of the country, which was probably even more difficult to deal with!"
Lu Zhaoyi lowered her head. At that time, she summoned military generals to the Gouchen Villa with Gouchen Order and ordered the general Xia Shu to lead his troops north. The reason was that she learned that Dongning and Huwan allied forces wanted to join the Xianbei tribe and make such a decision.
Now that I think about it carefully, I am afraid that Dongning and Hu Wan's actions were also made by Wu Chong, in order to mobilize some of the Qingzhou troops to leave Qingzhou so that they can gather forces and threaten the court.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhao could not help but feel cold all over and trembled.
"Miss Lu...what's wrong?" Du Yan couldn't help but worry when he saw that she was overreacting.
She shook her head, her lips and teeth trembled, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "Wu Chong is so scheming, his heart is...dead!"
"But it's not too late!" Du Yan said, "Since you know that the gentry tribes are gathered in Hanoi County, you might as well let Qiu Quzi go back to his hometown to investigate. What are the tribes involved? We can defeat them one by one. At the same time, the 50,000 Qingzhou troops led by you Xia Shu and Wen Ke will secretly let them come back..."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looking at her with inquiry.
Lu Zhaoyi nodded: "This is natural."
Now that the Xianbei Tuoba tribe has signed a peace talks, the two sides have ceased to fight, and the threats from Dongning and Hu Wan are not worth worrying at all. They only need to let the army led by General Zhao Lin guard it.
Du Yan said again: "How do you solve this crisis now? Your Majesty was inspired by Wu Chong's words in the court today, and he had no choice but to do anything. We need to take action as soon as possible. Just by the distance from Hanoi to Luojing, I am afraid that it will be turned upside down overnight."
Lu Zhaoyi thought about it and shook her head. She couldn't think of any countermeasures at the moment, so she could only do it in a hurry.
However, she could not deny that what Du Yan said was indeed very effective.
We must step up.
Du Yan saw her anxiety and lowered his head and sighed several times, "Tonight I'm with me
Your Majesty is going to stay at the Lu family, but there is a lot of trouble when things happen..."
As he said that, he was about to get up and go out.
She suddenly realized that Xia Pei had escaped here today, rather than coming to find her?
It seems that the situation in Luojing is already very tense!
"By the way! The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Concubines are still in the palace?" Lu Zhaoyi asked.
After hearing this, the desolate back that walked towards the door seemed to have a hunchback, but also sad.
He turned around and comforted, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother and the others have been taken to the palace by King Liang, and they are unaware of it. Wu Chong would not have thought that the palace is now empty."
Lu Zhaoyi thought for a moment, as if she had found a breakthrough, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Tonight, I have a way to get rid of Wu Chong's half-armed minions..."
"Oh?" Du Yan was surprised, but quickly returned to his normal expression.
"Gou Chenzi, Du just watched the changes and saw how you moved this storm..." After saying that, he had already headed out of the door.
After leaving the hall, the elders and nephews of the Lu family had returned, and it was just as dark.
The fourth uncle, who had seen Lu Zhaoyi look panicked and didn't know what he meant, wanted to go up and say something politely, but was ruthlessly ignored by the other party.
"Qianniang...where are you going? Have you used dinner?"
When the fourth uncle said this, she had already walked out far and headed straight to the East Garden.
"Look..."
Lu Chengzhi said another sarcastic saying, "I am going to be the queen, I am disdainful of us to speak. Fourth uncle, why are you still enthusiastic?"
"Bastard!" The fourth uncle took the opportunity to hit him with his cane, "Just because she will be the queen in the future, we must please him even more! When she becomes the queen, our Lu family becomes a relative, and the Lu family is prosperous here!"
If Lu Zhaoyi heard this, she would have responded with great dissatisfaction.
However, she didn't care about anything else at this moment, and her heart was even more upset. Only one voice told her that she was going to Yutangyuan immediately.
When we arrived in the East Courtyard, in Yutang Garden, we saw a dark area, as if there was no sign of movement.
She felt strange and rushed into the room without saying a word.
But the next moment, an external force that came from nowhere attacked her, which made her unexpected.
Just as she was still wondering whether she had been assassinated, she could not sense Xia Yuanlong's aura.
After a moment of trance, she realized that she was in the arms of a person.
Just as she was about to get rid of it, a breath came into her ears and the gentle, thick, magnetic voice came into her ears.
