In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

Four days later, in Sheng'an City, the Ziming Palace was full of spring scenery but no one was appreciating it. The court officials were gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall at this moment. All the officials lowered their heads and breathed lightly. They stood there for a long time and their legs were numb.

Emperor Hui's iron-blue face grew darker as he looked at the letter sent back from Youzhou and paced in front of the dragon throne. The flame of humiliation stretched from early morning to noon.

Emperor Hui gnashed his teeth and said, "Mu Jin'an actually conquered Youzhou and called himself the governor and military governor?"

Emperor Hui glanced at Lu Shenghe and said, "Minister Lu, Lu Shengji surrendered after being defeated, so his entire clan should be exterminated. How dare he use the lives of the Lu family to threaten me to release five hundred orphans from the palace?"

Lu Shengji had two copies of this letter sent to Sheng'an City at full speed. Lu Shenghe received the news last night.

Lu Shenghe thought for a long time. If he abandoned Lu Shengji, many of his followers would mock and betray him. If he forced himself to protect his brother Lu Shengji, the emperor would make things difficult for him.

The so-called prosperity of a family is inseparable from the words "great prospects, good morals, trustworthiness and harmony". He married into the Wang, Xiao, Cui and Xie families. If he made a mistake, how could his daughter hold her head up in her husband's family?

Lu Shenghe received a letter from Yuan Ming. The evidence of his plan in Youzhou was written by Yuan Ming himself and is now in the hands of Xie Chibei.

Lu Shenghe never expected that Xie Chibei could guess Yuan Ming's identity. If Yuan Ming became a witness, he would be a traitor. Lu Shenghe, who was thousands of miles away, might be safe, but he couldn't be sure under the imperial power of Sheng'an.

In particular, Prince Xie Che of Qi once competed with Emperor Hui for the position of crown prince, and his daughter Lu Zhifu was still in the prince's palace.

Lu Shenghe saluted and knelt, supporting himself with his hands, and looked up at Emperor Hui: "Your Majesty, I am terrified. Victory and defeat are common in the military. This is Prince Xi's plan to sow discord."

"Lu Shengji also fought to the death. I hope Your Majesty will forgive the Lu family."

"Minister...Minister...Puff..."

With a "bang", Lu Shengji suddenly spat out a little blood, fell to the ground dizzy, and his official hat rolled to Wang Xun's feet.

The honest officials all had gloomy faces and were just confessing their guilt. Then they fainted and spit out blood?

Emperor Hui lowered his head and held his forehead, every nerve in his brain was tense, and suddenly he realized:

"It turns out that Mu Jinan had released the strong troops of Youzhou and sent Mu Jingyi to Heyuan and other two states in order to avoid my suspicion. Now he is delaying the attack on the city and seizing all the troops."

"She also issued many laws and decrees in Youzhou to win over the hearts of soldiers and people."

"My father doesn't have such a plan as hers. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a queen who is so cunning, strong, willing to die for the sake of justice, and fearless?"

"My dear ministers, what good ideas do you have?"

Seeing that the court officials had been discussing for a long time without replying, Zhang Zhao walked leisurely to the middle of the hall and said with a confident smile: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight and suppress King Xi to relieve your Majesty's worries."

Emperor Hui lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhang Zhao. He killed Xue Zecheng and Guo Yi, and now there is still General Wang Zhengzhong. However, this man is an old friend of Mu Chen and he must not go to Youzhou.

After killing the general, Emperor Hui reflected for a few days and realized that he had trusted the eunuchs too much recently. Moreover, Zhang Zhao had never fought in a war. If he sent this man, he would be infamous for a defeat.

Cui Hengling looked up at Emperor Hui and said, "Your Majesty, this is not possible. Xuanshuo and Heyuan are close to Youzhou. Going to war at this time will be exactly what we want. Prince Xi will only gain tens of thousands more soldiers and horses."

"Sheng'an Qinxunguan is bordered by the Jin River in the north and the Saiying Mountains in the south. There are very few valleys, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. We only need to transfer troops from the south to guard Sheng'an."

Wang Xun looked down at his official robe. With the support of the nobles, and the Lu family now in danger, what should he do?

Wang Xun seemed to be thinking: "Your Majesty, is there a way to quell the disaster without spending a single soldier? Why not ask someone?"

Emperor Hui also wanted to leave troops to defend Sheng'an City. When he heard this, his eyes flashed and he ordered:

"Lu Shenghe, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, Lu Yanci, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Lu Zhongyu, were demoted."

"The Imperial Secretary Wang Huaiyu was promoted to the position of the Minister of the Secretariat, and the Director of the Ministry of Works Cui Chengyu was promoted to the position of the Secretary of the Secretariat. The rest are to be discussed."

Cui Hengling and Wang Xun looked at each other. Their sons were promoted, and the Lu family was defeated. As long as they could save their lives, they didn't say anything more.

Wang Huaiyu and Cui Chengyu said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
