The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1330 Gong Jing forms an alliance
"He is your younger brother, so you should speak for him naturally. You can achieve the Tao by yourself, and you can ascend to heaven!" Tong Shunmin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was also extremely unhappy, and couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Everyone, since the emperor has given the order, we will naturally obey it. I still have important matters to attend to, so let's go first!" Deng Wenshang, Minister of the Household Department, smiled slightly, bowed slightly to everyone, and then walked out of the hall.

After Shen Shikang's rebellion, he, the Zuo Shilang of the household department, was promoted to a higher level, and he became the current minister of the household department as a matter of course.

He has just been promoted, and his qualifications are still low, so naturally he can't compare with those old people who have been sitting in the position of minister for a long time.He had no hope of being the chief assistant, so it didn't make any difference to him who took the position.

And he has clearly stated his position before, and he will not agree with everyone.Therefore, when these people were fighting openly and secretly some time ago, he wisely protected himself and did not get involved in this dispute.

Someone took the lead, and other ministers also began to walk outside the hall one after another.They were not qualified to fight for the position of chief assistant, so they were not so resistant to Gu Chengyu's entry into the cabinet.

In fact, there are only a few who resist too much, and they are all minions of various factions.

Most of the ministers in the hall walked away, Gu Chengyu bowed to everyone, and strode out of the hall.He came out of the hall, stopped in his tracks, glanced behind him, and sneered.

This is just the beginning, and these people accept incompetence?Still early!
"My lord! Our loss this time is not small, it seems that Prince Jing's foundation is not shallow!" Li Chang'an looked solemn, they really suffered a heavy loss this time, and the period of time has subsided.

Prince Gong sneered, "The foundation is not shallow? It's just relying on his three-inch tongue! This time, this king underestimated him. I didn't expect him to hold back long ago."

"It's not good, my lord, our weapons workshop has been looted again." A soldier ran in to report.

"What? The fourth brother has attacked again?" Prince Gong looked shocked. He had suffered a lot last time, but the fourth brother did not take advantage of it.To make a comeback so soon, is it to declare war on him again?

"No, they are sent by the imperial court! This time the imperial court seems to be targeting us. They are recruiting troops at the border, as if they want to expand their army. Moreover, the imperial court has dispatched [-] elite soldiers to Fengqing Mansion, and they have successfully taken over Fengqing Mansion .Now Fengqing Mansion has become a fortified wall, heavily guarded, and we can't hear any news."

"What? The imperial court?" Prince Gong's complexion sank, the second child either didn't make a move, or if he made a move, he would do both!
"You mean that the imperial court is recruiting troops? Go and find out the exact news, and the spies of Fengqing Mansion should not act rashly in the past two days. The guards are strict these days. If we are discovered, we will lose a few useful chess pieces. By then Finding out the news is even more difficult."

"My lord! Second Young Master Lu is here."

"Let him in!" Prince Gong was about to discuss with Lu Chen, and it was beyond his imagination that the imperial court took over the Fourth's Fengqing Mansion so smoothly.

"My lord!" Lu Chen entered the study and bowed to the two of them.

"Liangchen, have you ever heard that the imperial court sent troops?" Prince Gong turned and walked towards the leader, he believed that Lu Chen had heard the news.

"This subordinate is here precisely for this purpose, my lord! The imperial court is acting vigorously this time, and I am afraid it will deal with us and Prince Jing at the same time. I have just inquired about the recruitment of soldiers at the border. I heard that this time the imperial court will not hesitate to spend money to buy soldiers to enlist , just to deal with us and Prince Jing."

"It seems that the court has made up its mind this time!" Prince Gong felt a little tricky, this time he was first caught off guard by Prince Jing, and then the court eyed him covetously.

He is still too shallow!Prince Gong sighed deeply.

"My lord! This subordinate has an idea, my lord might as well listen to it!" Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, and told Prince Gong his purpose.

"You might as well speak up!" Lu Chen has always been quick-witted, and he has often advised him before, so he is looking forward to Lu Chen's ideas.

"My lord! Since the imperial court wants to deal with our two families, why don't we form an alliance to deal with the imperial court first? I don't know what the lord wants?"

"Alliance?" Prince Gong leaned forward, looking at Lu Chen in surprise.

"You mean to form an alliance with the fourth child?" Prince Gong was not angry, but scanned Lu Chen up and down with probing eyes.

"My lord, don't do it! Prince Jing is full of tricks. If you form an alliance with him, you have to prevent him from stabbing a knife in the back. I think it is absolutely impossible!" Li Chang'an immediately objected when he heard Lu Chen's suggestion.

King Jing is so good at calculating, it is really unwise for them to form an alliance with King Jing.

"My lord! The current situation is very unfavorable to us. If we don't form an alliance, it's only a matter of time before the court breaks them one by one. It's just a temporary alliance. After the court is conquered, the two of us will have a final confrontation. Although Prince Jing is very scheming, But you, my lord, are not inferior to him at all, even more courageous than him, and my subordinates have great confidence in you."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and said compliments, but his expression was very sincere.

"Then if Prince Jing grows in power and threatens us, we still have time to strike? Besides, Prince Jing may not be willing to form an alliance with us. After all, the two sides fought to the death before, maybe he still hates the prince in his heart. !"

Li Changan was not optimistic about this matter, he always felt that this idea was too dangerous.

"This king thinks this is feasible!" Prince Gong thought for a long time, but agreed with Lu Chen's words.

"My lord!" Li Changan was a little surprised, he didn't expect the lord to finally agree.He turned to look at Lu Chen, his eyes full of inquiry and warning.

Perhaps it was because Lu Chen and Prince Jing got close before, and the two had an inseparable friendship, which made him doubt Lu Chen's loyalty.Although Lu Chen behaved well these days, he still couldn't let go of his heart, fearing that Lu Chen would turn against Prince Jing.

"This is indeed a good idea, but now he is trapped in Fengqing Mansion, and we don't know what the situation is like there. If he is really controlled by the court, then there is no need for us to form an alliance with him."

Prince Gong suddenly felt that this idea was really good, and they should deal with the second child first, after all, the second child is the most threatening.

"My lord! With him" Seeing that the lord really had such a plan, Li Changan couldn't help but want to persuade him.

"Okay, the alliance has not been decided yet! Liangchen, you go to find out the news. If the fourth child can still move, it is not impossible for us to form an alliance. How can there be eternal enemies in this world?"

Prince Gong interrupted Li Changan, if this matter is to be done well, it really must be Lu Chen.After all, the two of them still had some affection before, so it was up to Lu Chen to lobby for this negotiation.

I believe that the fourth child will consider this matter carefully for Lu Chen's sake.In fact, this is the best way at present. The fourth child is not a fool, so he should agree.
