He would not think that this matter was a decision made by Lu Qing himself just by thinking about it. The combat power and influence shown by Lu Qing in this battle were all top-notch, which could not be ignored by the entire Yan State.

But after all, there is a huge figure like Yunxiao Sect sitting on it. It doesn’t matter which person from the Li royal family is to sit on it at all. But it would be a very amazing thing to change to the Lu family. If you can make such a decision, Lu Chaoxi believes that his father must have had a very clear exchange with Yunxiao Sect.

"Not that." Lu Qing replied, "What do you think?"

"I don't know whether this matter is good or bad."

Next, Lu Chaoxi said his thoughts without reservation.

"Of course there are benefits. After my Lu family became the Dayan royal family, no matter what the Yunxiao Sect above, at least, we have become the orthodox rulers of Dayan. The entire court system is used by me. The influence of the family will be able to quickly get out of the restrictions of Feiyunzhou and spread to the entire Yan State."

"Our previous plan was to include Jinzhou and half of Jizhou within the family's sphere of influence. If the throne is in my Lu family, then this will be of great help to us quickly take over Jinzhou and Jizhou, and a lot of resistance will disappear naturally. If we really encounter opponents, we can attack the unjust officials in the name of the court and be famous for their troops."

“But there are also many disadvantages.”

"The throne not only symbolizes power and orthodoxy, but also a layer of shackles. Taking history as a guide, the Yunxiao Sect's vigilance against the Dayan royal family has always been very serious. After we become the royal family, this vigilance cannot decline or decrease, and it will even become more serious after Li Shiwen tries to break through this time."

"Secondly, the Li royal family has ruled the Great Yan for more than three thousand years. They are regarded as true orthodox in Yan State. Whether we can make good use of the name of "orthodox" after we take over is actually questionable. Compared with supporting Li Chengzong as a puppet emperor, if we directly become the emperor of Yan State, some of the originally hidden and alleviated conflicts are likely to be detonated in advance."

...

Lu Chaoxi said a lot in one breath, but during this process, Lu Qing always listened carefully next to him without expressing any opinions.

It was not until Lu Chaoxi finished speaking that he carefully asked, "What do you think of my father?" that he spoke:

“There are many places where I think like me.”

"Uh...what's father's decision?"

"I haven't agreed to Yunxiao Sect yet. Isn't this here to ask you for your opinion first? Tell me about your final judgment. Do you think we should agree or refuse?"

"I think it's better to refuse." Lu Chaoxi said, "If we support Li Chengzong, we can also take advantage of the court's righteousness. Moreover, many contradictions will not explode directly in our hands, and the pressure we face will be much smaller."

After listening to his son's opinion, Lu Qing finally expressed his opinion:

"But I think it will be very difficult if I miss this opportunity and I want to find it again in the future."

"You also know that if you support another Li family and become Emperor Dayan, it is a puppet, but it may not be a puppet of the Lu family..."

"The centipede insect died without being stiff. The Li royal family ruled Dayan for thousands of years. When there was an orthodox emperor in the court, what would the traditional factions you mentioned, who supported them as orthodox people, look at us who were monarchic in their eyes? Can Jinzhou and Jizhou live in peace?"

"The most important thing is that if we don't become emperors, will Yunxiao Sect not be alert to us? I'm afraid, they will only be more alert."
