People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Seeing Concubine Wei leaving unwillingly, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed. He had no grudge against Concubine Wei, but he snatched the dragon energy that she had worked so hard to get, and even absorbed half of her power. He was afraid that she would hate him to death.

If it were someone else, they would have cut the weeds completely to prevent future troubles, but Lu Chen thought of himself as a kind person and he should not take both the spoils and take both. He should leave some room for them so that they could meet again in the future.

After Concubine Wei left, only Liu Jiyan and Zhao Ji were left here.

He glanced at Cai Jing's body on the ground, shook his head slightly and said, "He has been in power for more than 20 years, but in the end he ended up like this."

If the people of the Song Dynasty knew that Cai Jing's body was here, they might come to snatch it.

Of course, they did not rush to bury him, but instead shared his flesh.

"Lu, Marquis Wuyun, are you here to rescue me?"

Zhao Ji looked at Lu Chen eagerly, completely forgetting that the reason why the situation developed like this was because of dealing with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled: "Has the official lost his memory? He carefully prepared such a big chess game, but the funny thing is that in the end he found out that the person playing chess was actually someone else."

Zhao Ji's face changed. He was not a fool. At this point, he naturally knew that he was being plotted against.

He looked at Cai Jing's body with hatred. If it weren't for Cai Jing, he wouldn't have set up a trap against Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at Zhao Ji's actions and smiled slightly: "Don't blame him. Although he is a treacherous minister among the people, he is still quite loyal to you. His original plan was not to deal with me, but to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhuge Shenhou and seize power alone."

"As for King Zuo Wu, the same is true. He also wants to get rid of Zhuge Shenhou, so they are conspiring in this plan."

Lu Chen walked up to Zhao Ji, looked at his angry face, and said slowly: "I believe you have also noticed the rebellious intentions of Zuo Wu Wang. Zuo Wu Wang wants to be the emperor so badly, but Zhuge Shenhou knows his ambitions very well and has been restraining him all these years."

"If it weren't for Zhuge Shenhou, with the strength of Zuo Wuwang, even if Cai Jing tried his best to stop it, I'm afraid the throne would have been taken by someone else long ago."

Although Cai Jing was a master at playing political games and governing the country was no problem, without the restraint of Zhuge Liang, King Zuo Wu would be able to seize the throne directly by force, and Cai Jing might not be his opponent by then.

"It's all my incompetence that has harmed the Master."

Zhao Ji was filled with remorse. If he had not listened to Cai Jing, the current situation would not have happened.

"You are more than incompetent. If you continue to rule the Song Dynasty, foreign enemies will invade sooner or later and harm the people of the Song Dynasty."

Lu Chen snorted coldly. He came from the future, so how could he not know that the Jingkang Shame might happen in the near future.

At that time, it was a disaster for the people of the Song Dynasty. It could only be described as nine out of ten houses were empty and people were suffering.

And all this was caused by Zhao Ji.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhao Ji's face suddenly darkened. Obviously, he did not agree with Zhao Ji's words and retorted: "I just made a mistake. When my army arrives, we will repel the army and take back the capital. Under my rule, the Song Dynasty will surely prosper and become powerful, and all nations will come to pay tribute."

"..."

Lu Chen was speechless. He didn't know where Zhao Ji got the nerve to say this. The Song Dynasty has been ruined by you. You don't have any idea at all.

Lu Chen was about to retort him immediately, but then he felt relieved. These emperors had been in the deep palace all their lives and had no idea about the sufferings of the people outside. And those officials and people around him only said good things to him, which led to Zhao Ji knowing nothing about what was happening outside the palace.

However, Lu Chen was somewhat impressed by him for being able to speak so boldly under such circumstances.

Of course, Zhao Ji was not so stupid as to not know his current situation. Since Lu Chen knew that he wanted to kill him, it was unknown whether he would let him go. At this time, all he was thinking about was how to get out of this situation first.

"Marquis Wuyun, if you help me rebuild my country, I will respect you as much as I respect my Grand Tutor."

At this point, Zhao Ji probably felt that his bargaining chips were not enough, so he raised the stakes again: "I will make you a king of a different surname, and you will rule Jiangnan forever."

"You want to make me a king of a different surname?"

Lu Chen was stunned and looked at Zhao Ji strangely.

Zhao Ji thought that Lu Chen was tempted. After all, who could resist the temptation of being crowned a king? Moreover, Jiangnan was a wealthy place. Letting Lu Chen rule Jiangnan forever was no different from giving it to Lu Chen.

He was delighted. As long as Lu Chen agreed, it would be fine. After eliminating Zuo Wuwang's gang, he would come back to deal with Lu Chen.

This seems to be a huge temptation, but Lu Chen has no foundation in the court. It will be much easier for him to deal with Lu Chen in the future than to deal with the old fox King Zuo Wu.

"That's right, Marquis Wuyun, I was confused before. You defeated a million enemies in Xiyun City and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. This achievement is enough to make you a king."

Zhao Ji looked at Lu Chen seriously. He didn't believe that Lu Chen, who was so young, would not be tempted by the idea of ​​splitting the land and becoming a king.

Lu Chen smiled coldly in his heart. If he believed it, he would be even more stupid than a pig.

Even if Zhao Ji really made him king afterwards, it is possible that he would turn against him.

He knew Zhao Ji's character better than anyone else, and making him a king now was just a helpless move.

Zhao Ji thought Lu Chen agreed immediately, but Lu Chen did not say anything. Instead, he lost his temper and became anxious: "Marquis Wuyun, if you don't believe me, I can write an imperial edict now."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "But I have already offended you. When you regain power in the future, you will still kill me."

Zhao Ji's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy was a worm in his stomach and could see through his thoughts?

Zhao Ji would certainly not deny it, and quickly said: "As long as you agree to help me, you will be a meritorious service to me and you will be my benefactor. I will forgive all the grudges."

"But I still don't trust you."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

"you……"

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Zhao Ji was so angry that he almost cursed. He was so humble, but Lu Chen still didn't believe it.

He then endured it again. Now was not the time to fall out with Lu Chen.

"Marquis Wuyun, I really know I was wrong. What do you want me to do in order for you to trust me?"

Zhao Ji looked at Lu Chen sincerely. If someone had a soft heart, he might really be moved by his words.

There happened to be a knife at Lu Chen's feet. He kicked the knife in front of Zhao Ji and said calmly, "If you cripple one of your hands, I will trust you."

"What--"

Zhao Ji's face suddenly turned blue and red. This bastard actually wanted to cut off one of his own hands. It would not be an exaggeration to kill all his nine clans. Moreover, if he really did this, how could he be the emperor? There was no one-armed emperor in this world.

"Marquis Wuyun, do you really want me to do this?"

Zhao Ji asked tentatively.
