Chapter 1046
After many days, His Majesty the Emperor finally expressed his stance, but his reaction was very different from what everyone expected. I thought that whether it was to stabilize the family with a gentle attitude, or to fight to the end, this would be the end. Reconcile conflicts between the aristocratic family and the court.

Who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor's will has nothing to do with the imperial court, the family, and even the Jinyiwei who are responsible for the action.

The emperor only talked about the year-end ceremony, and by the way, he called out the names of all his highnesses, and secretly asked them to stay in the capital and not move.

This decree is really weird. If they were not convinced that the old emperor could not be held hostage, these people would have wanted to rush to Zixiao Palace to ask questions in person.

But soon, the emperor's will was interpreted to have another meaning. Since the emperor did not explicitly prohibit the Jin Yiwei's actions, it meant that the emperor approved of the Jin Yiwei's actions.

"Your Majesty didn't take any action. It's not that he thought this was a good time to deal with the aristocratic family, but that he couldn't care about these mundane matters."

In the small courtyard on South Street, Meng Yuan said to Lu Hanjiang: "Even if you and the Crown Princess join forces this time to force His Majesty to advance his plan, are you not afraid that this matter will cause a big problem and will not be able to end?"

Lu Hanjiang smiled slightly: "Originally, I was a little worried. After all, the power of the family is intertwined, and a single move can affect the whole body. But now that I see how confident you are of winning, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Meng Yuan glanced at Lu Hanjiang and ignored the topic. He said: "Although I am deeply trusted by your Majesty, it is related to the secret of immortality. I can't tell how far your Majesty has progressed. Or, , How much does Your Majesty know?"

"Immortality." Lu Hanjiang suddenly asked: "Birth, old age, illness and death are natural principles. There should be no method of immortality in the world."

"You are right, but His Majesty will only believe what you want to believe."

Meng Yuan sighed: "He has been obsessed with this matter for decades. You don't have to think that you can persuade him to turn back with just a few words. Besides, if he really wakes up at this time, it will be a bad thing for you."

Lu Hanjiang said seriously: "Indeed, the stall you always left behind is too big. If Your Majesty is not willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, I'm afraid we will have to go to the execution ground tomorrow."

Meng Yuan glared at Lu Hanjiang, and then said: "According to time, there is only one month left before the year-end ceremony. I have only one request. During this period, you should not conflict with Mr. Chen again."

"It seems that you are always planning to put all your chips on the table at once," Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and smiled: "That's right. It is unlikely that there will be a second chance for this kind of thing. There is no need to save energy."

So Lu Hanjiang said again: "Don't worry, other aristocratic families can't reach a consensus in such a short time. Although the Chen family is coming fiercely, they have too much to take care of themselves. Moreover, I have a helper."

Although the Chen family is divided into two parts after the death of Chen and Guang, it is just that the Chen family is powerful but cannot effectively attack them.

The fundamental problem is that Chen Heguang's death can make them share the same hatred, but this is only a cooperation forced by external forces, and the longer it is delayed, the easier it is for this alliance to fall apart.

In a month, even if Chen desperately fights, Jin Yiwei can stabilize the situation, but Lu Hanjiang has a better way than using his strength in such a place.

The eldest lady of the Chen family, Chen Yin, was beyond Lu Hanjiang's expectations. First of all, it was undeniable that she was a daughter who was filial to her father and a sister who respected her elder brother.

However, before that, she was an excellent seed cultivated by the family. After discovering that she was being used by Jin Yiwei, even though the hatred of killing her father was in doubt and the hatred of killing her brother was confirmed, she still put aside all her grudges. I want to cooperate with Lu Hanjiang.

What Chen Yin wants to get back is the rights of Chen Zhua's branch. Now their branch is almost extinct. If she continues to be decadent, it is difficult to imagine the fate of their branch in the future. The struggle for power within the family is nothing like The court should be simple.

Lu Hanjiang was naturally happy to see this happen. Compared with Jin Yiwei's personal death, Chen Yin's existence could effectively eliminate the hostility of a large part of the Chen clan.Especially now that Qi Yunzhou is assisting him. The deputy dean of the academy is sincere in helping Chen Yin. After all, once the incident happens, the academy will not be left behind.

Although Meng Yuan didn't know Lu Hanjiang's plan, he had a good feeling that it might not be a good idea, but in response, he just said lightly: "As long as you have an idea."

"Don't worry, old man, everything outside is easy to handle. What's the difficulty?"

Lu Hanjiang pointed in the direction of the imperial city in the distance, then spread his hands and sighed: "Even if everyone in the Jinyi Guards is highly skilled in martial arts and can fly over eaves and walk over walls, the high wall can still stop them all. What's more, the Forbidden Army is also a big trouble."

Indeed, in terms of personal strength, even ten forbidden troops may not be able to stop one Jin Yiwei. As for those so-called commanders of the forbidden troops, Lu Hanjiang did not have to personally take action. Wu Qiming would take care of them all.

But that's not the problem. No matter how strong the Jinyiwei are, they can't storm the imperial city unprepared. Not to mention fighting, they can't get in. The impact of such a blatant act of rebellion is uncontrollable.

Since the old man wants to play a big game, the most important thing is how to capture this imperial city quickly. Otherwise, once the raid turns into a protracted battle, their chances of winning will decrease infinitely over time.

Lu Hanjiang really didn't have a good way to deal with this. After all, he was very unfamiliar with this imperial city until now, let alone made any preparations.

To this, Meng Yuan only answered one sentence.

"Don't worry, the Imperial Guard will not be an obstacle."

Meng Yuan sneered and said something earth-shattering: "Wen Kongheng, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, is one of ours."

Lu Hanjiang was stunned. It took him a long time to regain his composure, and then he choked out a sentence: "Old man, how did you do it?"

The emperor's most trusted right-hand man, even the two people who were used to check and balance each other, had actually become a group in private. Meng Yuan's move was indeed unexpected.

Lu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Your Majesty doesn't look like a fool, and you and Commander Wen don't seem to be at odds with each other. I see that Commander wants to beat you every time he quarrels with you. real."

"Haha, more than that, he has long wanted to kill me, but it is precisely because of this that Your Majesty has never doubted that he will cooperate with me."

Meng Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Wen Kongheng seems to be upright and does not know how to adapt, but in fact he is a person who is very good at hiding himself. Do you know that Wen's eldest son was beaten to death by himself."

"I know, I heard that the commander-in-chief doesn't seem to care about it." Lu Hanjiang nodded.

Meng Yuan sneered: "He's just pretending. He values ​​this son more than anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to send a young man to His Majesty."

Lu Hanjiang asked in confusion: "If that's the case, why did the commander beat him to death?"

"The child was not beaten to death by him. When he was sent to the Wen Mansion, it was already a corpse," Meng Yuan said coldly: "The person who really beat him to death was me."
