Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 689
"Xiu Xian, do you think there is something wrong with me?" Zao Wou-ki said suddenly looking at the sky.

Liang Xiuxian was taken aback, and laughed quickly: "Your Majesty was joking, there is nothing wrong with you."

Zhao Wuji was silent for a moment before he said: "Since this is the case, why do so many people insist on driving me out?"

Liang Xiuxian didn't know how to answer these words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his thoughts changed sharply, but he didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Wuji didn't see Liang Xiuxian's expression behind him, but he could make a general guess. He sighed: "You don't need to answer, I just suddenly felt a little emotional. How is the investigation of the four thousand-year-old families going?"

Only then did Liang Xiuxian heave a sigh of relief, but when he heard this question, his face showed panic again, and he said: "Your Majesty, this slave is incompetent. Apart from knowing their surnames, there is very little other news about the four great families. The superficial news, as to what their purpose is, why they took action suddenly, and how powerful their power is, these... none of these have been found out. "

Zhao Wuji couldn't help clenching his hands behind his back, after all, he didn't blame anything, instead he sighed: "I don't blame you, even if it's me, facing the person next to me who has been with me for decades, it's not that bad at all. You can see what she's thinking!"

This is naturally the empress of Shangguan. The empress of Shangguan is a member of the Shangguan family. She married into the palace and became his empress. I am afraid it was premeditated. Of course, such a big event as the empress cannot be hasty. It has to go through a strict review, but that's it, no problem with the Shangguan family was found, and it was not found that the Shangguan family turned out to be a thousand-year-old family!
Liang Xiuxian could only say: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, they are just a bunch of jumping clowns. In the past, they only dared to hide in the corners, but now they dare to show their heads. They are simply seeking their own death!"

Although Zhao Wuji was self-willed, he did not reach the point of arrogance and madness. Of course, he could hear the truth of these words, but he did not blame Liang Xiuxian for saying such things at this time, he just sighed: "Let the Prime Minister and Lu Yuan directly Come see me in the palace."

"Yes!" Liang Xiuxian took the order to invite the two lords, obviously this is to discuss the next countermeasures, but the imperial court has six ministries, but they only let Lu Yuan go straight into the palace, so it can be seen that the elder Lu is in Zhao Wuji's heart With his high status, he can also know that Mr. Lu is definitely not an ordinary person.

After the two got the news, they entered the palace very quickly. It happened that their sedan chairs arrived at the gate of the palace together. After getting off the sedan chair, they greeted each other. People enter the palace, why?"

Lu Yuan glanced directly at the other party, and said with a smile: "Master Li, you really don't know why His Majesty announced the two of us to enter the palace?"

Li Chengji's expression froze, he smiled embarrassingly, and did not speak. Since the eldest prince Zhao Zheng was killed, Li Chengji suddenly became low-key. He was in Shangjing when the empress Shangguan left Shangjing. But absolutely responsible!In addition to the death of the eldest prince whom he had always supported, of course he had to keep a low profile for a while, but no one thought that he would keep a low profile for so long, and they didn't know what the prime minister was thinking.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't say anything else, and the two went directly to the imperial study to meet Zhao Wou-ki.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Wuji said with a chuckle: "You two lovers, please sit down. There are only three of us here, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Both of them were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect Zhao Wuji to see them like this, and immediately sat down with some panic.

Zhao Wuji didn't exchange pleasantries, and went straight to the point: "You two lovers, what do you think about my sudden return to court this time?"

The hearts of both of them jumped, and Li Chengji said first: "The decision made by His Majesty is beyond my control."

"Tsk! Prime Minister Li doesn't have to be like this. Since I ask this, I just want to hear your true thoughts, but it's okay to say!" Zhao Wou-ki clicked his tongue and said slightly dissatisfied.

Li Chengji quickly apologized, Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, your return to the imperial court this time will indeed have a bad influence, but the old minister feels that your Majesty did nothing wrong, on the contrary, this is the most correct choice!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Wuji regained his energy, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, please tell me in detail."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "Your Majesty, you have failed in the second crusade against the Seventh Prince, and this time you are returning directly to the court. In the eyes of outsiders, you have nothing to do with the Seventh Prince. Of course, This is indeed the case, I have to admit that we have all underestimated the strength of the Seventh Prince, and even the strength of the other princes."

This is a bit straightforward, it is undoubtedly saying that Zao Wou-ki can't do it!This is not to say that it is treasonous, but it is also too straightforward. If you dare to say that the emperor is not good, you will die, right?

Li Chengji on the side was also very surprised, he didn't know why Lu Yuanzhi suddenly changed into a different person?One must know that in the past, Lu Yuan never said that he was as low-key as he is now, but he has always been the same as the old man, and rarely expressed any sharp opinions. What happened today?
Zhao Wuji's expression also became serious, and he nodded slowly: "Master Lu is right, I really underestimated these sons before, or I didn't know that there are thousand-year-old families in this world! This is undoubtedly Give me a slap in the face!"

Listening to Zhao Wou-ki's words, he didn't seem to be angry because of what Lu Yuanzhi said, Zhao Wou-ki continued: "Master Lu said that I made the right decision, why is that?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked indifferent, and replied: "Since the preparation is not well prepared and the prediction is wrong, if we force the attack again, it will only bring greater losses. The mouths of the people in the world cannot be sealed, but the strength of the imperial court cannot be so mediocre. damage."

"Okay! Boss Lu said it well! I think so too! Hmph, what do people in the world think? How have I ever really cared about it! It's just that the power of the imperial court cannot tolerate any loss!"

Zhao Wou-ki patted the armrest of the chair and said loudly, obviously very satisfied with Lu Yuanzhi's words.

Li Chengji was even more surprised that Zao Wou-ki praised him so much, which was a rare thing before, and now he even felt that the two had discussed it before, and this was acting in front of him!Of course, he also knew that this was impossible, Zhao Wou-ki was not such a person!The reason for this phenomenon is that Lu Yuanzhi had a good grasp of Zao Wou-ki's mind and knew what the other party wanted to hear now, so he said something.

Li Chengji took a deep look at Lu Yuanzhi, this old guy is really not simple!I usually don't see it!
After a while, Zhao Wuji suddenly turned serious and said: "I won't mention these things, the current situation in the world is also clear to the two mistresses, according to the two of you, what should we do next?"

This question is really difficult to answer, as I said just now, the reason why Zhao Wuji returned to the imperial court, regardless of the bad influence it caused, was that the imperial court was helpless against the seventh prince, since the court was helpless with the seventh prince, it must be no better for the other princes Go, if your own strength is not enough, even if you have all kinds of schemes, it will be useless!Besides, Li Chengji and Li Chengji were not the general counselors who led troops to fight.

Li Chengji pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is better to be quiet at this time, and it is better to wait and see the changes for a while before we talk."

Zhao Wuji frowned when he heard the words, and said with some displeasure: "It's better to be still than to move? But the court has been silent for a long time, if this continues, won't the strength of my sons become stronger and stronger?"

Li Chengji's face changed, knowing that he had said something wrong, he still planned to stick to his low-key approach, so his idea was a little more negative. After all, judging from Zhao Wou-ki's return to court as a teacher, it seems that he also had such an idea , who knew that when he opened his mouth, it was obviously not the case.

Li Chengji quickly knelt down and said: "The old minister speaks nonsense, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, Prime Minister. I didn't blame you. I've brought you two here today to discuss it. Everyone can speak freely. Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Yuanzhi didn't answer right away, his eyes were full of thinking, he was obviously thinking about countermeasures, and after a while, he said, "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister has a countermeasure, but... just don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhao Wuji smiled and said: "I just said it, today is a discussion, if you have anything to say, Mr. Lu, feel free to speak freely!"

Lu Yuanzhi bowed to thank him, and then said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the old minister's countermeasure is very simple, that is to establish a reserve!"

The imperial study room seemed to be quiet for a moment, and even the sound of breathing could be heard. Li Chengji next to him almost couldn't sit still. What did he hear just now?Lu Yuanzhi actually asked Zhao Wuji to become a reserve!What kind of countermeasure is this? It's almost courting death!

You must know that Zhao Wuji's most taboo thing is to hear about Li Chu, so even when the eldest prince was alive, Li Chengji tried it once, and after understanding Zhao Wuji's thoughts, he never dared to mention this again. In this situation, Lu Yuanzhi actually asked Zhao Wuji to become the reserve. Isn't this courting death?Today Lu Yuanzhi is really different from before!

Zhao Wou-ki's expression was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. After a while, he said slowly: "What is Mr. Lu's thinking? Why do you think Li Chu is a countermeasure?"

Li Chengji was shocked again, Zhao Wuji was not angry?Or the reaction was completely different from what he thought. You must know that when he mentioned the establishment of a reserve with the other party, the other party immediately turned his face, and this time he was so calm?Has it been accepted, or is a bigger storm brewing?

Lu Yuanzhi was calm and composed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the target of the princes is you. If you become a reserve, you can share part of the firepower for you, and the court can breathe a sigh of relief."
