More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 39 The Crisis of the Chu Family
Beijing.

Palace, Royal Garden.

Wearing a yellow dragon robe, Emperor Xia sat in the pavilion, sipping the fragrant tea in his hand.

At this moment, a soldier in armor suddenly appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have already found out that the news that His Highness Eighth Highness sent someone to assassinate His Highness Ninth was spread by His Highness."

Hearing this, the teacup in Emperor Xia's hand burst instantly, and Emperor Xia snorted coldly and said: "These children of mine are really getting restless, could it be that they are all looking forward to my early death? They Are you so anxious to get the crown prince?"

Seeing that Emperor Xia was angry, Situ Ce, the national teacher who was sitting opposite Emperor Xia, immediately said: "Your Majesty, calm down. The position of the crown prince is still pending. It is not surprising that there will be brothers attacking each other. If your majesty can establish the crown prince as soon as possible, it will be better for you." Calm your Highness's mind."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia laughed, and then said: "National Teacher, you are the only one who dares to say this to me. If others let me establish a crown prince early, I will definitely let people drag him down to fight a hundred battles."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia got up from the stone bench and looked at the lotus pond in the imperial garden with his hands behind his back.

"To be honest, I'm more curious about how Xiao Jiu survived than what happened in the capital."

Emperor Xia's thoughts were similar to Lu Shuyun's. Even if the Chu family really sent a mysterious master to protect Lu Chen, there is a high probability that the assassination at the Bloodyue Building will be successful.

According to the information obtained by the shadow guards, Xueyuelou sent a half-step grandmaster and five ninth-rank masters to Beijun this time.

In addition, Lu Shuyun himself had placed some pawns in Beijun. If they fought together, even if there was a grandmaster, it was unlikely that the King of the North would survive.

But the North King survived.

This made Emperor Xia feel suspicious. Is the mysterious master beside King Bei really just a master?
Situ Ce said at this time: "His Highness Ninth was able to survive, perhaps because His Highness Ninth's life should not die, it is luck."

Xia Huang said indifferently: "Forget it, the farce should be over. Since the Chu family has not sent anyone to contact Xiao Jiu in Beijun recently, let Xiao Jiu make trouble in Beijun. I don't intend to ask him about it in the future."

Emperor Xia recently had someone investigate the Chu family, and found that the Chu family had not taken any action except for sending Chu Yuqin and the mysterious master to protect Lu Chen to the north county.

He didn't send anyone to contact Lu Chen, it really seemed like he gave up on Lu Chen.

Even Emperor Xia heard that the Chu family was very dissatisfied with Chu Xiong, the head of the family, and was already clamoring to change the head of the family.

Chu Xiong himself was in danger, it was normal that he didn't have the heart to care about Lu Chen who was far away in Beijun.

Emperor Xia immediately said to the red-robed eunuch beside him: "Pass down my password, the eldest prince will spread rumors everywhere, which will damage the majesty of the royal family, and be banned for three months."

"As for the Eighth Prince..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia paused for a moment, and then continued: "Eunuch Liu, you can go and talk to the Eighth Prince later, so that he can stop."

Hearing this, the red-robed eunuch in front of Emperor Xia immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, Eunuch Liu left the palace and went to the mansions of the First Prince and the Eighth Prince to deliver the decree.

at the same time.

Jiangnan, Sufeng City.

Chu family.

An old man with gray hair was sitting in the yard, reading the letter repeatedly.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe came in from the entrance of the courtyard.

"Father, didn't you say that you don't care about the Northern Palace for the time being? Why don't you let Qin'er come back? And you even quietly sent a master to protect the Northern Prince!"

The man's name is Chu Hongfei, he is Chu Xiong's son, also Lu Chen's uncle.

After Chu Hongfei learned that there was a mysterious master in the Northern Palace, he was in a bad mood. Although Lu Chen was his nephew, he and Lu Chen didn't have much interaction, let alone have any good feelings for him.

What's more, the woman he likes has been following Bei Wang, which makes Chu Hongfei even more unhappy.

As for the woman he likes, it is naturally Chu Yuqin.

Facing his son's questioning, Chu Xiong was silent for a moment, and then asked back: "Hongfei, do you really think that the Grandmaster of the Northern Palace was sent by me?"

Hearing Chu Xiong's words, Chu Hongfei was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "Except you, who would send a master to protect a useless prince."

From Chu Hongfei's point of view, Chu Xiong probably thought that Lu Chen was his grandson, so he was afraid that he would get hurt.So a master was sent over.

Chu Xiong sighed at this time and said: "I did think about sending a master to protect the Northern King, but after thinking about the various actions in the capital recently, I finally gave up on this idea."

"Where that mysterious master came from, I don't know."

"As for Yuqin, she voluntarily went to Beijun with Beiwang, and she no longer listens to the Chu family."

At this time, Chu Hongfei showed a look of doubt on his face, and then he asked: "Father, you are not lying to me, are you?"

"If it wasn't for your order, how could Qin'er follow an ignorant waste? I don't believe it."

Chu Xiong hated iron for being weak and said: "Nowadays, Emperor Xia's actions are constantly changing. The commanders of the imperial army in the capital have been changed again and again. Even Zhou Wangtian has been ransacked and exterminated. The aristocratic family has moved the saber, and I dare to have too much contact with the Northern King at this time, you really think I am confused, are you afraid that Emperor Xia's saber will not come down fast enough?"

"As for Yuqin, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Although her husband died on the first day she married into the Wang family, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Wang family."

Hearing Chu Xiong's words, Chu Hongfei said thoughtfully: "Father, if it's really not the grandmaster you sent to Beijun, then there shouldn't be a grandmaster who would protect the Northern King?"

Chu Xiong stroked his gray beard, and then said: "I was also very puzzled when I saw this news at first, but I just received the news from the capital, and this matter may have something to do with the eldest prince."

Having said that, Chu Xiong handed the letter in his hand to Chu Hongfei. Chu Hongfei picked up the letter and glanced at it, the expression on his face changed again and again.

Then he said: "Father, do you think that the eldest prince sent a master to protect the Northern King, and he wants to win our Chu family over by this way?"

Chu Xiong said indifferently: "It's not to win over the Chu family, but to win over me."

The letter in Chu Hongfei's hand was sent by the spies of the Chu family in the capital. The spies found out that the eldest prince had spread news related to the Northern King several times, including the news that the Eighth Prince had sent people to assassinate the Northern King. It was also spread by the First Prince.

It seemed that the First Prince was protecting the Northern King.

But Chu Xiong is not a fool, obviously the eldest prince showed him this.

As for whether the Grandmaster beside the Northern King is the eldest prince's subordinate, it's really hard to say.

As the eldest prince, the person who is most likely to become the crown prince must have a master under his command, there is no doubt about it.

But the Grandmaster is not Chinese cabbage, the First Prince himself needs the protection of the Grandmaster, if a Grandmaster is sent to protect the Northern King, who will protect him in the capital, unless there is more than one Grandmaster around him.

At this time, Chu Hongfei put the letter on the stone table, and said: "I don't care, no matter what, Qin'er has to come back, what to do with a waste prince in North County, the environment in North County is so bad, she has only Suffering."

Hearing this, Chu Xiong burst into anger, and angrily said: "You think about women every day, you are so good! Now that the Chu family is about to face disaster, you still think about women!"

Chu Hongfei said indifferently: "The Chu family's imminent disaster has nothing to do with me. When it really comes, I will take Qin'er to the Dawu Dynasty."

Hearing Chu Hongfei's words, Chu Xiong almost lost his breath.

"Get out! Get out of here!" Chu Xiong yelled loudly.

Seeing that Chu Xiong was angry, Chu Hongfei left the yard quickly.

After Chu Hongfei left, Chu Xiong looked at the empty yard, sighed deeply, and said, "Yue'er, I'm sorry for you. I didn't protect you well at the beginning, but now I don't even dare to send someone to protect your child." .”
