Lu Haosheng's expression was stern, he knelt down on the ground, and said solemnly: "My lord, I don't dare to say that in such a lowly position."

"But what you mean is exactly that." King Qi suddenly stood up, and said sharply, "Lu Haosheng, Lu Haosheng, I never thought you would be a traitor without a father or king."

Lu Haosheng raised his head, stared at King Qi, and said: "My lord, you can execute the humble official at any time, but the predicament you are facing is just like this. The humble official is dull and can't think of a deeper meaning."

King Qi trembled all over, staring at Lu Haosheng who was kneeling in front of him. After a while, his body shook slightly, and he sat down slumped, and said powerlessly, "Get up."

When Lu Haosheng got up, King Qi said: "If you say this, don't say it in the future."

"The humble job will only say this time." Lu Haosheng said: "It's useless to just say these things again. The prince is already in trouble. Even if he wants to go out, it is already extremely difficult."

"You asked me to leave the capital, where are you going?" Qi Wang looked at Lu Haosheng, "There is no main force in the capital, where can I help me?"

"northwest!"

"Northwest?" King Qi shook his body, frowned and said, "You mean Chu Huan?"

"Exactly." Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "That is the only place the prince can go, and it is also the prince's last hope, but how much help he can get, I can't be sure."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The prince's help in the northwest is only Chu Huan." Lu Haosheng said seriously: "If Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang, no matter which group of troops, the prince will not be able to command."

"Are they going to rebel?" King Qi's expression changed slightly.

Lu Haosheng said indifferently: "Three ways in the northwest, including Chu Huan, are all self-respecting. The imperial court is powerless to look around, and Zhu Lingyue is ambitious. When the Holy Spirit sent Chu Huan to the northwest, it was to restrain Zhu Lingyue."

"Zhu Lingyue wants to rebel?"

"If there is a governor to rebel, Zhu Lingyue might be the first one." Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice, "I'm thinking that if it wasn't for Chu Huan, Zhu Lingyue might have ruled the Northwest now."

King Qi clenched his fists, "Since this person intends to rebel, doesn't the court know?"

"Zhu Lingyue's mansion is very deep, it doesn't show the mountains and doesn't leak water." Lu Haosheng said: "He has been in Tianshan for many years. If he hadn't moved from Xiliang to the east, he would have great ambitions, but with the strength of Tianshan, he would never have a chance. But when Xiliang moved eastward, Zhu Lingyue led the army to fight and won the opportunity for himself. At that time, the imperial court hadn't seen through his ambitions. He was the only governor in the front line of the three northwestern provinces. Naturally, the imperial court used him heavily and once handed over the power of the northwest to him. Even if Yu Buqu went to the northwest later, the power in Zhu Lingyue's hands is still not weak."

King Qi frowned even tighter.

"Yu Buqu didn't die, so Zhu Lingyue didn't dare to act rashly. In the northwest at that time, the only one who could hold Zhu Lingyue down was Yu Buqu." Lu Haosheng said softly, "But Yu Buqu died in the northwest, and the sword on Zhu Lingyue's head disappeared. He was naturally lawless, and the prince didn't know about it. At that time, Zhu Lingyue's memorials appeared in Zhongshu Province almost every day. Every memorial was almost for his subordinates. Almost all the officials in the Northwest Asked to leave by Zhu Lingyue." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "My lord, do you know that when the mission was sent to Xiliang, on the way back to Beijing, they passed through Jiazhou, and Xue Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, met Yu Buqu before he died."

"You mean?"

"Xue Huai'an brought back a letter written by Yu Buqu." Lu Haosheng said softly, "Yu Buqu asked Xue Huai'an to forward that letter to His Majesty. To this day, not many people know the contents of the letter."

"Changshi knows?"

"My lord, please don't forget that I was recommended by Grand Master Xu. Prior to this, I had nothing to do with Grand Master Xu. I have always admired Grand Master Xu, and Grand Master Xu also trusts Master Xu very much, so there are some things that others I don't know, but I know it in a lowly position." Lu Haosheng said softly: "Before Yu Buqu died, a shocking event was revealed in the letter he submitted to the Holy One."

"Shocking thing?" King Qi couldn't help leaning forward, curiously asked: "What is it?"

"The truth about Yu Buyi's murder."

"What?" King Qi's body shook, "I heard that Yu Buqun was sick and exhausted at the front line, so he died from exhaustion. Could it be... 1 There is something else hidden in it?"

Lu Haosheng nodded and said, "That's right. Everyone in the world thinks that Yu Buqu died of illness. Yu Buqu's illness is true, but his death due to illness is false. According to the situation at that time, if Yu Buqu can return to Beijing in time for recuperation, he will not die. Even if we stay in the northwest to stabilize the situation in the northwest, at least we can live for another three to five years without any problem."

"After the Xiliang people withdrew their troops, he did not return to Beijing."

"At that time, the imperial court didn't know about Zhu Lingyue's ambitions. Although Yu Buqu was not sure, he was on guard." Lu Haosheng said: "He was also worried that after leaving the northwest, there would be even greater chaos in the northwest, so he insisted on it. Staying in the northwest, even if his body cannot be recuperated and healed, he still can't care about it... I have to say, Yu Buqu is a loyal minister!" After a pause, he said slowly: "Yu Buqu should be very clear. Before the Rebellion and the Qingtianwang Rebellion were quelled, once the northwest rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable. The court was unable to deal with the rebels on three sides at the same time, so he knew that unless the rebellion in the southeast and Hebei was quelled, he could not leave the northwest. Only the southeast and Hebei rebelled. He can only leave the Northwest after the army is wiped out, and at that time, Zhu Lingyue naturally dare not take any action."

"Then how did Yu Buyi die?"

"Poisoned to death." Lu Haosheng said with a serious expression, "Yu Buqu is from the south, not suitable for the climate in the northwest, and his health has been bad. The capital sent an imperial doctor to help recuperate, and Zhu Lingyue also found a doctor from the northwest. The doctor treated him together, although Yu Buqu was wary of Zhu Lingyue, but he didn't expect that Zhu Lingyue would have the heart to kill him!"

"What?" King Qi's expression changed in horror, "You mean, Yu Buqu was killed by Zhu Lingyue?"

"The letter that Xue Huai'an brought back was written by Yu Buqu himself. At that time, Yu Buqu was under the control of Zhu Lingyue. Zhu Lingyue used his illness as an excuse, and few people could get in touch with Yu Buqu. When Yu Buqu found out that he was poisoned, the poison had already He knew that Zhu Lingyue's eyes and ears were by his side, so he didn't dare to tell the people around him, lest the people around him be harmed, and he never had the chance to send that letter." Lu Haosheng sighed softly: "At that time Yu Buqu was already extremely weak, and his life was not long. He was already desperate, but the mission to Xiliang happened to come back and passed through Jiazhou. Naturally, Xue Huai'an and Chu Huan wanted to see Yu Buqu, and Yu Buqu found the only one. Given the opportunity, I sent out that memorial."

"The memorial explained how he was murdered?" King Qi's face turned pale and his pupils contracted. He always thought that Yu Buqun died because he was in charge of the overall situation in the northwest, sick and overworked. There is still such a conspiracy.

Lu Haosheng nodded and said: "The poison used by Zhu Lingyue can't be detected by ordinary people. It's mixed with other medicines. Although Yu Buqu was careful, he never thought that Zhu Lingyue would be so bold. When something happened to his body, Yu Buqu discovered the secret. It's too late."

"His body was transported back to the capital." King Qi said, "Have you checked the body?"

"In order to verify the memorial, I did examine his body. At the beginning, I sent the imperial doctor in the palace to examine it carefully. After several visits, no poison was found in Yu Buqu's body." Lu Haosheng sighed softly. Said: "Later, it was handed over to Shenyiwei, that Suzaku Qianhu of Shenyiwei is a first-class poison expert, and only then did he find out the poison in Yu Buyi's body, but very few people knew about this news."

"Zhu Lingyue wants to control the northwest, but he is afraid of Yu Buqu. If Yu Buqu does not die for a day, he can only do nothing." Qi Wang understood, "He is worried that when the war in the southeast and Hebei is over, Yu Buqu is still alive. There will be no more chances, so this is the secret attack to kill Yu Buyi early, so that he can do whatever he wants in the northwest."

"That's right." Lu Haosheng said: "After Yu Buqu's death, Zhu Lingyue quickly took control of the Pingxi Army, planted cronies everywhere, and spread his power to the northwest, covering the sky with one hand."

The King of Qi said bitterly: "He killed Yu Buqu, so the court still allows him to behave in the northwest? He asks the court for officials and rewards, so the court will let him be at his mercy?"

"I can't help it." Lu Haosheng sighed: "At that time, the Northwest, Tianshan and Xiguan were all under Zhu Lingyue's control, and the tens of thousands of Pingxi troops were also under Zhu Lingyue's control. Even Xiao Huanzhang could only act according to Zhu Lingyue's winks. The imperial court has to deal with the war in the southeast and is unable to look westward, so it can only agree to his request first and try to stabilize him as much as possible."

"Stop him?"

"The southeast Tianmen Dao is coming fiercely, and Qingtian King of Hebei was already ready to move at that time. The court had to deal with the southeast and encircle and suppress Qingtian King at the same time. It was already stretched and unable to take care of the northwest. If the court refused to agree to Zhu Lingyue, he would have a hard time in the court. If you get what you want, it is very likely that you will raise troops in the northwest, if that is the case, the consequences will be disastrous." Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "So the court can only stabilize him first, hoping to put down the chaos in the southeast and Hebei first, and then turn back Clean up the northwest. At the beginning, the imperial court did not expect that the war in the southeast would last so long. If Zhu Lingyue was completely indulged in the northwest, it would be even more troublesome. That's why he wanted to send Chu Huan to the northwest to restrain Zhu Lingyue. Fazi, Fazi, at the beginning, I didn't have too much expectation for Chu Huan."

King Qi smiled wryly and said: "At first, I thought that my father had taken a fancy to Chu Huan's talent, so I entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. It turns out...the imperial court sent Chu Huan to the northwest, and almost sent him to die!"

Lu Haosheng said: "The imperial court also had no choice but to do so. When Chu Huan set off for the northwest, he thought he had escaped death, but he survived there and achieved the result the imperial court wanted. It hindered Zhu Lingyue and made Zhu Lingyue late. I dare not move. However, choosing Chu Huan was not a random choice. When I chose Chu Huan, I really liked Chu Huan's advantages!"

"What advantage?"

"Chu Huan has courage, and he has no heart to give in. This is very important." Lu Haosheng said: "If you send someone at random, I'm afraid he will be bought by Zhu Lingyue soon and become Zhu Lingyue's lackey. He chose Chu Huan, weighed it over and over again, and really felt that Chu Huan would not easily submit to Zhu Lingyue. Chu Huan's talents, including killing General Mu in Anyi, destroying the Huang family, and several things in Xiliang, were all recognized. This proves that he is indeed courageous and resourceful, and the most important point is that Chu Huan has more roots than anyone else when he arrives in Xiguan."

"Foundation?"

"My lord met Chu Huan in Yunshan, do you know that when Chu Huan was in Yunshan, he already had a private lifelong wife?"

King Qi blurted out: "Sister Su Niang?"

Lu Haosheng shook his head and said: "It's a woman surnamed Su. Her origin is in Xiguan, and Su's family is in Xiguan. She is the first of the seven surnames in Xiguan, and the seven surnames in Xiguan are the heads of the noble gentry in Xiguan Road. Chu Huan Having a private life with a woman surnamed Su means that you have a relationship with the Su family in Xiguan, and the imperial court took this relationship into consideration, and decided to send Chu Huan to Xiguan."

King Qi frowned and said, "Chu Huan is now in Xiguan, so naturally he can't be compared with Zhu Lingyue, who is deeply rooted. You said that I only have Chu Huan as a helper in the northwest, how can he help me?"
