Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 542
Seeing Mr. Lu's melancholy face, Su Bai asked, "Mr. Lu, if the world is really in chaos, what are you going to do?"

Mr. Lu squinted his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do? After so many years in the officialdom, I'm already tired, and I just want to retire and return home. Can they still make things difficult for me, an old man?"

Su Bai could see that the other party was pretending to be relaxed. After all, as the sixth minister, even if Mr. Lu was an old man, he was not an ordinary old man. Even if the other party hadn't done much business in the officialdom these years, his hidden power was definitely not small!Not to mention anything else, but Zhou Zhizhou, who came to pay New Year's greetings last time, will definitely miss Mr. Lu!
No matter who those princes wanted to be, they would never let Mr. Ren Lu leave easily.

Even though he was aware of these things, Su Bai couldn't say them at this time. What he understood, would Mr. Lu not know?The other party didn't want to say it, so why should he mention it.

After a while, old man Lu waved his hand and said, "Okay, boy Su, you should go to rest too. If the world is really in chaos, you may not be able to stay out of it now. It's better to plan for good things early, and now you still have the mood to worry about me." This old man, hum, I think you should worry about yourself first!"

Su Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Boy, I'm just a martial artist, what can I do? They won't take me seriously!"

Mr. Lu smiled noncommittally, shook his head, and said nothing.

When Su Bai walked out of the door, the smile on his face had disappeared. He was deceiving himself just now, but now he is sworn vows with the Fifth Prince Zhao Yan!At this time, naturally, he couldn't stay out of the matter, but when he was discussing with the Fifth Prince Zhao Yan, no one expected that Zhao Wuji would have an accident!The present tense suddenly becomes precarious!

What will happen in the future, Su Bai really can't imagine, he has a feeling that he can't control himself, and now he can't do anything!Su Bai sighed!It's not clear what the situation is now, let's wait until the situation is clearer!

Just when Su Bai left the small courtyard of Mr. Lu, a sedan chair quietly entered the palace, and quietly walked towards the palace where the eldest prince was. The one sitting in the sedan chair was the prime minister Li Chengji!
Lee Seung-ki was one of the people who knew about Zao Wou-ki's accident, and he was a reliable minister that Liang Xiuxian thought of!But Liang Xiuxian forgot that Li Seungji was loyal to Zhao Wuji, but he was even more unwilling to see the Wu Dynasty in chaos!After all, only in a stable world can he secure the position of prime minister!If the world is in chaos, what use is he as a prime minister?

In other words, as long as the world is stable, he doesn't care much about being above the throne, who is he doing!He believes that with his many years of management, among these princes, no matter who is in power, his prime minister will be unbreakable in a short time!

Perhaps due to various factors later, the succeeding prince will depose him and make a new prime minister, after all, the emperor and the courtiers!But that was at least a few years after the other party succeeded to the throne. Who can tell what will happen in a few years!

Therefore, what Li Seungji needs most is of course that Zhao Wuji can wake up and stabilize the situation, but once this hope is shattered, then he can only make another plan, make plans early!

So he came to look for the eldest prince Zhao Zheng. He originally agreed with the establishment of the eldest prince as the crown prince. After all, the name is right and proper. He had mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince to Zhao Wuji several times before, but Zhao Wuji pretended not to listen. I understand. Later, I was even more displeased. After knowing the other party's thoughts, Li Chengji didn't mention it again, but secretly got a little closer to the eldest prince, which can be regarded as showing his attitude.

The sedan chair soon arrived at the eldest prince's palace. A eunuch had already gone in to report, and then the eldest prince greeted him at the door in person, but seeing Li Chengji's gloomy face, the smile on the eldest prince's face stopped immediately, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The eldest prince is already 38 years old this year, and he has grown a beard a few years ago. His face is not similar to Zao Wou-ki's, it looks rounder, he looks like a big brother next door.

"Let's go in first!" Li Chengji said in a deep voice. As the head of the officials, he was not in a good mood, so his tone was inevitably disrespectful at this time.

The most important thing is that when he just got off the sedan chair, he suddenly thought that if something happened to Zhao Wuji, then the eldest prince Zhao Zheng would undoubtedly be the one who benefited the most. After all, the other party was the eldest son. Many ministers are also inclined to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, now that something happened to Zhao Wuji, then the eldest prince is likely to be the crown prince!Of course, the reason why such a situation can be caused is also related to his previous attitude towards the other side.

This was nothing at first, but in this special situation, Li Chengji suddenly thought, could it be the First Prince Zhao Zheng who poisoned Zhao Wuji!This is very possible, after all, the person who will benefit the most from this matter is the other party!This had to make Li Chengji suspicious!

It was also because of the sudden incident that he didn't sleep all night, and he was a little trance-tired, so he ignored the matter, otherwise with his mind, he should have thought of this a long time ago!But now that everyone else has already arrived at their door, it would be unreasonable to go back again. He can only bite the bullet and come here, and because he has doubts, his attitude is a bit bad.

The eldest prince was stunned. Although he said that Li Chengji was in a high position, he usually didn't say how respectful he was, at least he wouldn't go out of line, just like the tone just now, but it never happened before. What happened?Thoughts turned in his mind, but his face didn't show at all, he silently followed Li Chengji into the hall.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the eldest prince Zhao Zheng leaned forward and asked, "My lord Li, what happened in the palace? I saw that the 'Xuanwei' people seemed to have put martial law on my father's side."

After walking a few steps, Li Chengji also calmed down at this time. After all, he is a scheming man, and he has already reached the point where there is no wave in the ancient well. No matter what happens, he can deal with it calmly.

He looked at the eldest prince Zhao Zheng with profound eyes, apparently wanting to read something from the other's face, but the eldest prince only had a confused look on his face, and he didn't show anything other than that.

Li Chengji couldn't help being puzzled, looking at the eldest prince's appearance, it seemed that he really didn't know what happened to Zao Wou-ki, was it because the other party had great acting skills, or was he guessing wrong?If we talk about the great prince Zhao Zheng, he is definitely the performance of a generation of benevolent monarchs on weekdays. Not to mention the kindness of the father and the filial piety of the son, at least among the brothers and sisters, they are all gentle and refined. It's not like someone who can see such a rebellious thing as patricide.

But Li Seungji would not completely rule out the possibility of the eldest prince being poisoned because of this. After all, it is said that people should not be judged by appearances. Maybe the other party has been acting all the time, and his real character is fundamentally different from what he shows!

It wasn't until the eldest prince felt uncomfortable being stared at by him that Li Chengji looked away, sighed and said: "Your Highness, the old minister was rude just now, please punish him!"

The eldest prince was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't expect the other party to plead guilty as soon as he came up, so he quickly waved his hands and said: "It's nothing, I think Mr. Li really came to me with something important, so he didn't care about these details, Mr. Li still talked about what happened in the end Is something wrong, can't it really be an accident in the palace?"

Now Li Chengji only thought that the other party really didn't know about the matter, and nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, something really happened, and it was His Majesty who did it! His Majesty was poisoned last night!"

Li Chengji didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point. At the same time, he fixed his eyes on the eldest prince, Zhao Zheng, to see the other party's reaction.

When the eldest prince Zhao Zheng heard this, his expression changed drastically. He stood up and said, "Father is actually poisoned? No way! I want to go and have a look!"

As he said that he was about to go out, Li Chengji quickly pulled the other party back, shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient, the eldest prince, the matter is not serious, but I'm just afraid that there will be another accident, and no one from His Majesty's side will be able to pass by." !"

The eldest prince Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around, looked at Li Chengji coldly and said, "Lord Li, what are you talking about? Can I not even see Father? What happened to Father? I can't see my father, I don't worry!"

Li Chengji has been paying attention to the changes in the other party's expression, but the other party has no flaws at all. If it is really acting, this acting is too realistic, right?In Su Bai's words, as far as this acting skill is concerned, the Xiaojin people have been softened!

"Lord Li, what happened? How did the father get poisoned? Tell me quickly!" Seeing that Li Chengji was silent, the eldest prince said anxiously.

Li Chengji secretly sighed, since he couldn't find out, then he can only assume that it wasn't the eldest prince's doing. After all, he came this time to discuss with the other party that if something happened to Zao Wou-ki, the other party would take the position. The poison, this is not telling the truth.

Since the problem can't be found now, it can only be done according to the original plan, or deep down in Li Chengji's heart, he doesn't care much about whether it was poisoned by the eldest prince, he just wants a stable world!

When Li Chengji heard the eldest prince's question, he didn't hide any more, and sighed: "Your Highness, to be honest, His Majesty's condition is very dangerous now. He was poisoned late last night. The strange poison of the 'Seven Grass Biting Heart Pill', this kind of strange poison can't even be removed by him for a while. His Majesty is still in a coma, and his personnel are unknown. In order to avoid causing panic, I asked Mr. I lied at the time, saying that His Majesty was caught with the cold and could not go to the morning court, but I was worried that if the time went on, I might not be able to hide it!"
