Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 371
"Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity. Qutu went out of the capital this time, and he didn't bring many people with him. If he chased him down, he would definitely be sure. I know the king's usual heart troubles. Dutu this person, embracing his own self-respect, and taking credit for himself, will sooner or later be The scourge of the country must be eliminated as soon as possible, if the king only cares about the private relationship of his children, maybe he will suffer from the legacy of raising tigers, and he will regret it!" Lu Kai urged eagerly.

"Lu Kai, I also know what's on your mind. You are afraid. Jutu has always been on good terms with King Lu, and you have offended King Lu. So you want to avenge your private revenge and get rid of King Lu's right-hand man. Isn't that the reason?" Mingong's sharp eyes scanned the panicked Lu Kai, and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, even if I have selfish intentions, I would never dare to lie to my Majesty. Excavation is indeed a serious problem in my confidant. Please make up your mind and get rid of the thorn in my side." Lu Kai hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, the Ming people don't do secret things. Since Dutu has made military exploits for the country, I have no reason to kill him this time. Let him go." Minggong flicked his sleeves and sadly retreated to the Shuilong Shuren Hall.

In Jianjia Palace, the evening wind at night, accompanied by bits and pieces of drizzle, and with bursts of whistling, lingered between the window lattices of the bedroom. Bao Si reluctantly got up and drank the medicine, secretly called Axi to her, and asked softly : "Axi, at the time of digging, maybe you have already left the capital, right?"

Ah Xi blinked her big eyes, and nodded affirmatively.

"Well, the king finally did nothing wrong to kill Zhongliang. In the past few days, I used my illness as an excuse to drag the king and make him think twice. It seems that my worries are not in vain, but I am worried. In the future, the traitors and sycophants in the court will still find troubles for Qu Tu, Cheng Rong and others. It is superfluous to say anything now. It depends on what the king thinks and whether he can reasonably check and balance the important officials in the court. Worry, a catastrophe is just around the corner." Thinking of this, Bao Si frowned, and coughed a few times hastily.

Half a month later, in the main hall of Chaoyang Palace, Ming Gong received a memorial from Qutu requesting to reduce the border soldiers and horses in the early court. Ma, is this true or false?"

Cheng Rong thought about it again and again, and replied happily: "My lord, the guards at Hulao Pass usually exceed [-], and they were reduced after the war. Naturally, it was to save the court's expenses. Besides, the excavation completely handed over the military power to the Ministry of War. It can be seen that This person has devoted himself to the imperial court and has no second thoughts."

"Well, Cheng Aiqing is really good at talking. Since Dutu asked to reduce his troops, the widows agreed to him. Besides, Song Wang's defense area is close to Hulao Pass. Since Hulao Pass has already reduced troops, Song State Let’s just reduce the number of soldiers and horses.” Ming Gong nodded.

"Lord Lu, what does your majesty mean?" Wu Jin beside Lu Kai couldn't help asking Lu Kai quietly.

"Master Wu, you still can't see this? The king is guarding against Ju Tu and secretly colludes with Song's important minister, Uncle Sun, and secretly kidnaps Song Wang Hui'en to rebel!" Lu Kai warned in a low voice.

After the morning court, Wu Jin followed Lu Kai closely, visited the Lu Mansion, and came to the lobby, Wu Jin suddenly bowed to Lu Kai, weeping bitterly: "My lord, save me!"

Lu Kai was surprised at once, he quickly helped Wu Jin up, and comforted him, "Sir, why is this? You and I are in the court and retreat together, why do you have to do this? If there is a catastrophe, sir, I will definitely help you."

After Wu Jin heard Lu Kai's assurance, he quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said to Lu Kai: "My lord, do you know? To find out that Cheng Rong and Uncle Sun formed a clique for personal gain, and encouraged the king to eradicate the royal relatives in the court, in vain attempt Reform and reform, instead of it, now, they rely on the secret support of the queen empress in the harem, and they have become less and less kingly. The empress bought it, we worked hard for the king and the empress, and brought down Song Wang's biological mother, Jin Huangfei, and Lu Wang's biological mother, Concubine Jiang. Once they ascend the throne, we must die without a place to die. I don’t know if adults have thought about it.”
