"Hurry and send this letter to the Prince of Shu's Mansion..." In the official post of Zezhou City, Xu Jingzong held the letter in his hand and said to his personal guards: "Remember, it must be handed over to His Highness the Prince of Shu.

Don’t let others discover it.”

"Yes." The guard looked serious and did not dare to neglect. He quickly took it and bowed away.

Today is the afternoon after the Zezhou Incident. Just now, Xu Jingzong showed the head of the horse kite who came to invade Zezhou. In fact, it was him who killed the owl, rather than Xue Rengui who stabbed him to death. Xu Jingzong was just

It was just a show of force, to show the prestige of the imperial court. Otherwise, how could he have the ability to kill a bandit? It would have been pretty good not to be killed by the other party.

However, although Cui Li and Ma Yaozi were killed, the matter in Zezhou was not over yet. Cui Li's influence in Zezhou was intricate, and these things had to be dealt with properly. Although Qin Jiudao and Xu Jingzong completed their tasks,

We still have to deal with some aftermath matters until the court sends a new governor of Zezhou. There will be at least half a month in between. One day in the mountains means a thousand years in the world. In this era, sometimes, in one day,

A lot of things will happen. There is enough time for those who are thoughtful to make arrangements.

Among these caring people, Xu Jingzong is also one of them. Although he was frightened by Qin Jiudao, it did not prevent him from seeking certain benefits. Otherwise, how could it be reflected in just solving a major case?

After understanding Xu Jingzong's value and merit, how could he satisfy Xu Jingzong's wish and realize his ideal. So he decided to earn greater merit. In this world, there are only two greatest achievements, one is to save

Jia, the other one is Cong Long. Nowadays, the emperor is extremely brave and is the best master in the world. He has countless elite soldiers and generals and is sitting in the deep palace. Naturally, there is no way to talk about saving Jia. As for Cong Long, Xu Jingzong

Although he has some merit, he is not a direct lineage. He has followed Lu Zhaoci for a short time. Now that the empire has been established, it goes without saying that it is from Long, but Lu Zhaoci is not the only one who is qualified to be emperor. After Lu Zhaoci,

There were many princes, so Xu Jingzong decided to choose a good prince as his investment target.

Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has Cui to help him, not to mention that he does not need to help himself. Even if he needs help, Xu Jingzong will not go there because Cui has committed a serious matter this time. His Highness the Crown Prince and Cui are also secretly involved.

Once the prince falls, it will be difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince to keep that position, so Xu Jingzong will not choose His Highness the Crown Prince. Among the princes, Xu Jingzong thinks that the most likely one is the King of Shu Lu Ke... Not only is his reputation among the government and the public

Well, more importantly, it is the most important thing to be loved by Lu Zhaoci. Xu Jingzong believes that with his help, the King of Shu will be able to ascend the throne of the prince in the near future, and once he becomes the prince

Lu Zhaoci would not fail to use him as a close confidant. This was Xu Jingzong’s plan, so while an express report was delivered to the Xuande Hall of the capital, another secret report was notified to the King of Shu, Lu Ke, as quickly as possible.

I would like to take this opportunity to create a storm in the capital.

In the Prince of Shu's palace, Lu Ke's eyes were filled with excitement. Opposite him, Quan Wanji was holding a few pieces of letter paper in his hands, with an uncertain look on his face, and his eyes were flashing uneasily, as if he was

Thinking about something. Although these letters contained only a few hundred words, they seemed to weigh heavily. Quan Wanji read them over and over again, as if trying to find something in them.

"Sir, I didn't expect that there was such a big thing here. If Xu Jingzong hadn't written to tell him, no one in the court would have known there was a story here." Lu Ke stood up and walked around the hall.

. He was very happy today. On the one hand, it was because of the letter submitted by Xu Jingzong, which was a signal that Xu Jingzong had turned to him. On the other hand, what made him even more happy was that the content of the letter,

What makes them even more delighted is that the Cui family actually has private soldiers who appear near Zezhou from time to time. Where is Zezhou? It is close to Gyeonggi Province. Hundreds of thieves have been around Gyeonggi Province for several years, and no one knows about it.

, were kept secret by Cui Li, and more importantly, these hundreds of people were actually Cui's private soldiers. Once this news spread, it would shock the world. Not to mention, after Lu Zhaoci's high-pressure methods,

It has become an iron rule that the family does not allow private soldiers, and everyone must abide by it. The Cui family has made a big mistake on this point. More importantly, the other party also placed hundreds of private soldiers in Gyeonggi. This is

It's easy to make people suspicious.

"Your Highness, Mr. Xu Jingzong used a fast horse to deliver this news, which shows Mr. Xu's loyalty to Your Highness, but this matter must be remembered for a long time!" Quan Wanji thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This matter

For His Highness, it may not be an opportunity. According to the wishes of the minister, we should wait and see."

"Let's see?" Lu Ke looked at Quan Wanji in surprise. He didn't expect that Quan Wanji, whom he relied on as his arm, would have this view, which surprised him a little.

"Your Highness, once this news spreads, what will be the consequences?" When Quan Wanji saw Lu Ke's appearance, he smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The Cui family must be in bad luck. Academician Cui will be dismissed from office again, and even the queen will be dismissed.

His Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated. Your Highness thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated. Is that then your Highness’s chance?”

"My father's favorite is me. There used to be a prince. He was the legitimate son, so he became the prince. But if he was deposed, wouldn't my chance be greater?" Lu Ke asked with a frown.

.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince is not a wise master. You know this. Don't Your Majesty know this?" Quan Wanji shook his head and said: "No one knows people better than the Emperor. Even Your Highness can see it. Then His Majesty

It must be visible, but His Majesty has not abolished the Crown Prince so far. Why is this? On the one hand, rashly abolishing the Crown Prince would shake the country, but more importantly, His Majesty cannot bear it. After all, he is His Majesty's.

The legitimate son. If the prince is deposed because of this incident, your majesty will naturally find an excuse, but secretly, he must be deeply disgusted with the prince who took action. Your highness, in this case, do you still dare to take action? "

Lu Ke's expression changed when he heard this. Whether he can be established as a prince depends on his talents, but more importantly, it depends on whether he can get the Holy Family. This is the most important thing. Otherwise, even if you have great power,

His talent, but he didn't get the Holy Family, it had no effect. But then again, if he was asked to give up this excellent opportunity, he would be very reluctant to give it up. If he wants to find such an opportunity again, he has to

Do you know how long it will take?

As if he could see what he was thinking, Quan Wanji smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't want to take action, but some people may have been waiting for a long time."

"You mean?" Lu Ke's eyes lit up, and the excitement on his face became even stronger.

"That's right." Quan Wanji nodded and said: "He always considered himself the eldest son, but because of his biological mother, he could not be the legitimate son. Among the princes, his status was actually still below that of the King of Yue, and he felt the same in his heart.

He was very unwilling to do so, so he entered martial arts, made friends with military commanders, and prepared to learn from His Majesty what he did back then. If he heard this news now, he would definitely write to His Majesty and request that the crown prince be abolished, because only in this way, his chance would be

He will be much older. After all, he is the eldest son."

"Hmph, if this country is handed over to his hands, who knows what will happen? Maybe there will be a second Emperor Sui Yang." Lu Ke sneered, with a trace of disdain on his face.

"As long as a person is useful, why should His Highness care too much about it?" Quan Wanji nodded and suggested in a low voice: "It would be best if the eldest prince spread the word about this matter. It will not involve the prince.

, apart from the legitimate sons and eldest sons, the only ones left are the virtuous ones. Among the princes, apart from the prince, are there any other virtuous people?"

"What the prince said is true." Quan Wanji also nodded and said: "As long as His Royal Highness King Jing writes a letter, it will definitely cause shock in the government and the public. Your Highness can follow the trend, or help the prince speak, or

Once you meet the requirements of the First Prince, everything is fine."

"What my father dislikes the most is internal fighting among the princes. What's more, it can be seen from this letter that my father asked Qin Jiudao to handle this matter. Obviously he didn't want the matter to spread, that is,

He said that he wanted to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. If the lonely king agreed with the eldest prince, he might cause his father's displeasure. In this case, it is better to protect him. Not only can he give him a favor, but more importantly, he can make his father

Be happy, that's the most important thing."

"Your Highness is wise." Quan Wanji's eyes lit up and he nodded: "At this time, the most important thing is not to take it lightly, otherwise you may fail."

"Sir, what you said is absolutely true. Xiao Wang has remembered it." Lu Ke smiled. After all, this matter was a turning point for him. If not, it would bring him closer and closer to that position.

But he knew that the more he got to this time, the less he could get carried away, because at this time he didn't know how many people would be watching him, waiting for him to make a mistake. If he took a wrong step at this time, he might fall into eternal disaster.

This is a situation he doesn't want to see.
