I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 255: Don't You Stay in a Female University?
After the banquet dispersed, very few generals remained in the palace.

After all, it was already dusk, and most people were not qualified to stay overnight in Miyagi.

What's more, if Liu Bang was in the palace, staying occasionally might not be a big problem, but now that Liu Bang is not in Chang'an, and only Lu Fei and other harem members are left in the palace, the situation is completely different.

If someone stays in Miyagi in the middle of the night, it is reasonable for some people to suspect that he "sleeps in the dragon bed"?
Even if it is just a little rumor, but this kind of topic is the most curious gossip of ordinary people. When someone spreads it, it is estimated that by the time Liu Bang is from the Lingnan class, half of Chang'an City will be spreading the word "who sleeps in Miyagi overnight". Every pose is choreographed.

Who dares to say that he is not afraid of such gossip?

I'm afraid there is only one person like Chen Luo, who has legitimate reasons and has no problem living with the eldest princess in the palace every day.

As for those who need to stay in Miyagi now because of business, they have never thought about staying alone.

They got together and prepared to report to Lu Pheasant or present their own reports in order, and agreed to leave together at the end, so as to avoid misunderstandings.

After all, no one who spreads rumors will spread rumors about ten people at the same time. No one wants to believe such a description.
It is Han Xin who is discussing with Lu Zhi now.

"...That's what Jiang Ning said." He pursed his lips slightly. Facing Lu Zhi's gaze, he always felt like he was being seen through.

When her eyes fall on her shoulders, she will feel an inexplicable sense of pressure there, and her breathing will speed up slightly.

This was a tension he had never felt before facing Liu Bang or commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army formation.

"That's it." Lu Zhi nodded calmly, his narrow eyes narrowed into a shallow slit, making it difficult to see the expression contained inside.

What does Chen Luo think?

He is usually very clever, so why didn't he understand what he meant this time.

Liu Bang is not completely at ease with Lu Zhi and the Lu family, and he will be on guard in many places.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Pheasant would be restricted in many places if he wanted to use his power to the outside world.

Therefore, she could only let the Lu family do important things on weekdays, or use Liu Ying's name to use the momentum of the "princeling party" to influence some things.

Liu Bang's personal expedition to the south was an impromptu initiative, and his sudden illness was an emergency.

After all, the Nanyue Kingdom is not an enemy that is difficult to deal with. It needs to sing the sad song of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold" to conquer. Of course, he has not thought about the situation of "gone and never returning".

This means that Liu Bang did not leave behind in Chang'an.

That's what she saw and wanted to take advantage of.

If Liu Bang really cannot come back from abroad, he will be hindered to a certain extent if he wants to help Liu Ying take over.

Legally speaking, Liu Ying had the title of prince, but the Han Dynasty had only been unified for more than three years, and various traditions had not yet been fully formed. Under such circumstances, it was possible for someone to come forward and propose such ideas as "establishing virtuous people" and "establishing elders".

After all, Liu Ying is less than ten years old now, and it can even be said that before he officially became an adult, there was a risk of dying of illness halfway through. This was quite a common situation in ancient times.

In addition, there is a contrast in the present.

Liu Fei, the eldest son of Liu Bang, performed very well in Qidi with the assistance of Cao Shen. In just one year, most of the production in Qidi was restored. The settled people praised the great man with poems and folk songs, praising Liu Fei and Cao Shen feats under the rule.

Therefore, some people in the court believed that Liu Fei had the appearance of a virtuous monarch, and Liu Bang sent Cao Shen to assist him in governing Qi, which was to cultivate his ability.

There are not many such remarks, and they usually discuss the possibility in secret, and no one will seriously mention this topic openly.

Now that Lu Ze is seriously injured, if Liu Bang dies in the south, then Lu Zhi wants Liu Ying to inherit the throne without any disturbance, so someone needs to come forward and give strong support.

Chen Luo is the most suitable candidate, but his prestige is still far behind. There are many high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty who have good relations with him, but his influence on the middle-level people is not enough.

Therefore, Lu Pheasant wanted him to distribute the benefits of military exploits this time because of this consideration.

She enhanced Chen Luo's prestige, and at the same time ensured Liu Ying's and her own interests.

In this case, we only need to wait for Liu Bang to die, and Chen Luo walks out of the palace with his own words, and supports Liu Ying to ascend to the supreme throne.

There will be no problems in all subsequent links, but it is stuck in the first step.

Chen Luo never returned to Chang'an.

After going through everything in his mind, Lu Zhi slowly opened his eyes.

She read the silk script sent by Chen Luo again, and she sighed softly.

I can't help myself, the original plan must be changed.

"General Han." Lu Fei turned his head and closed the silk book in his hand, "When did Jiang Ning decide to lead his army south to support His Majesty?"

"Probably about five days before arriving in Guanzhong." Han Xin thought about it for a while, and replied honestly.

Chen Luo had told him that lying on this kind of matter was completely useless. On the contrary, the loophole created by such a small lie would need to be plugged with ten or even hundreds of new lies, which would very likely lead to the collapse of the whole thing.

Behind him is a curious question, what kind of conditions are needed if one wants to create a seamless lie.

After hearing this, Chen Luo was silent for a moment and just shook his head.

Han Xin still hasn't figured out what he meant.

Does that shaking head mean that there is no such thing as a seamless lie in this world, or that creating a seamless lie has nothing to do with you?

After listening to Han Xin's answer, Lu Zhi looked behind him thoughtfully.

Liu Le'an sat there quietly, she didn't make any noise at this banquet, she was very inconspicuous, and most people ignored her existence.

"Le'er, Jiang Ning didn't come back to visit you immediately, are you a bit disappointed?" Lu Zhi asked softly.

Liu Le did not follow Lu Zhi's expectations, and his face showed a look of disappointment.

She smiled lightly and shook her head and said, "Mom, what's so disappointing? My husband is running for the common people in the world. The happiness of one family is nothing in front of 100 million or 1000 million families in the world." Lu Pheasant was stunned when he heard this.

Is my daughter standing a bit too high?
But she reacted quickly.

Liu Le is not of such a temperament, and these words are definitely not something she can say.

Chen Luo could only teach her from behind and let her relay it to him.

As for the specific intention of these words, it is probably to express an attitude.

Lu Zhi was silent for a moment, put away the silk book, then waved his hand and said: "Thank you General Han for sending Jiang Ning's letter, tomorrow I will pass on the order to Prime Minister Xiao to lead the troops south.

By the way, remember to send the detailed battle report of this war in the morning tomorrow so that I can discuss it with Prime Minister Xiao. "

Chen Luo made a choice and went to the south to help Liu Bang, but had no intention of boarding the Lu family's ship.

Of course, this does not mean that there has been a estrangement between him and Liu Ying, that he has left his position as a princeling, or that his relationship with Lu Zhi has deteriorated.

The effect of this is very subtle.

In the short term, the situation in the Han Dynasty will not change in any way.

After this "arrow" is shot, it may take several years, or even more than ten years, to hit the target, or it may fall quietly where no one notices.

"Yes, I understand." Han Xin bowed his hands and retreated, giving up his position.

The next minister who had something to discuss with Lu Pheasant stood up and followed suit.

After more than half an hour passed, the matters of the dozens of courtiers had been discussed, and they all left the hall together.

Apart from the attendants who were coming and going, only Lu Fei and Liu Le were left in Changle Palace.

At this time, Lu Zhi's calm expression changed when he was talking and laughing in the face of the crowd, and his face took on a bit of majesty.

She half-turned around and said in a deep voice to Liu Le: "Have you told your husband the content of our conversation before? This is a secret in the court, how can it be revealed at will?"

"What are you talking about?" Liu Le blinked and chose to play dumb.

After all, there is no direct evidence to prove that the choice made by Chen Luo is related to the letter he sent.

Lu Zhi suddenly slapped the table: "Ale, you have never been able to tell lies since you were a child. When you lie, you are used to resting your right hand on your knee and moving around, just now you did it again!

Do you still want to lie to your mother?
Ten days ago, you sent someone to leave Chang'an and sent a letter to your husband. Did you remember what we discussed in the palace a few days ago? "

"Ah?" Liu Le's breath was stagnant, but he quickly realized that he did not move his right hand from his knee. He had no habit of making such small movements at all.

She chuckled and said, "Auntie, Le'er didn't understand what you were saying at all.

My husband is an indomitable hero, how could I interfere with his decision?

In the letter I sent someone to send to him a few days ago, it was just expressing how much I missed him, and there was no mention of political affairs at all. "

I wasn't lying this time.

Indeed, all of her letters were filled with lovesickness for Chen Luo.

The message was delivered by the silk script sewn inside the sachet. I didn't believe that Lu Zhi could get the sachet in advance, and found something wrong with it.

Staring at Liu Le's indifferent appearance, Lu Zhi rubbed the center of his eyebrows with his hands.

"It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay. She has already started talking to outsiders." Her tone was a bit resentful, and there was a kind of resentment that her little cabbage had been completely taken away.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Liu Le heard the words and hurried to make amends, "I will always have a place for you and Brother in my heart. Will I forget those days when we avoided the pursuit of Qin soldiers together?"

After hearing these words, Lu Pheasant's face looked better.

Even though she knew that her daughter was playing the emotional card, hearing these words was indeed a lot of comfort.

If Liu Le insisted on talking back, he would definitely be even more angry.

Standing up slowly, Lu Zhi said in a deep voice: "It's getting late now. I'll send someone to take you back home. It's the curfew time and it will be inconvenient for you to go back."

"Thank you, Mom." Liu Le stood up and saluted Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi held her hand and said with a soft smile: "You and I are connected as mother and daughter. Why do we need to be so polite? The only people in this world who can treat you unconditionally are your father and mother."

Liu Le nodded quickly, as if agreeing with this statement.

She echoed: "We are family members, my mother treats me and brother well, how can I not know."

After being sent to the entrance of the main hall, Lu Zhi's original warm eyes gradually disappeared as he watched Liu Le's leaving back.

She didn't care whether Liu Le's words were true or false, what she cared about was the other party's attitude.

However, Lu Pheasant now felt that he was satisfied with what Liu Le said and that he would consider Liu Ying, which was enough.

Outside the palace city, after Liu Le got on the carriage, he finally released his tight little hands.

My mother's performance just now was too scary, and the temptation was quite obvious.

You must know that when it comes to trusting family members, you cannot believe a single word from your mother's mouth.

Liu Le is more willing to trust her husband than to trust her and Father.
