Chapter 208 But the pawns
Lu Zhan was calm and composed, as if he was talking about a bold plan, but was talking about the weather as easy and comfortable today. "Heng'er, heroes come from troubled times. If there is no peace in the four countries today, and the heroes compete for the destiny, it depends on who will win in the end. But this matter is not urgent. The most important thing in front of you is Xigan. I didn't tell you before that it was because, first, I want to train you, I'm afraid you won't accept it for a while; second, the political situation in the court is unclear, which is not a good time to counter-argument. Now, the father has just received news, the Virtue and King Fu are disconnected, and King Jin is involved in various forces, and you and King Rong have always had some contact in secret. For my father, I guess Zhu Xi said that these four sons will soon be killed by themselves, and then we will have twice the result with half the effort."
"No, Dad, how do you know that the four Your Highnesses will soon have an internal strife? If we counterattack, what is Beilie's plan? And my mother, younger brothers and sisters, they are still in Liuli City. If someone discovers your plan, how do you let them deal with it?"
"Zhu Xidao is crazy. It is said that even the whereabouts of the military talisman are unknown. Xi Gan is half of the troops in our place, and Xiang Sheng is a silly man. If you want to seize the throne, you can only think of another way. Once Zhu Xidao dies, the situation will become more complicated. So at this time, the best way is to let Zhu Xidao issue an abdication edict, or it depends on who finds the military talisman first. Now Zhu Xidao's crazy state cannot convince people even if he issues an edict. As for the military talisman, he is very curious about where Zhu Xidao hides it."
"But always persisting like this, someone will definitely not be able to withstand it first. Then whoever jumps out first to break the deadlock is very important. The four kings are not a good-looking lamp. King Fu and King Jin have all the forces in the court. The virtuous king has never left his home since Liu Concubine Liu's death. I don't know if there is any trick. King Rong, I believe you also found that there is someone behind him. It is probably not just Bailu Villa. I put a lot of eyeliners for my father and entered the Rong palace, but they were all silently cleared. Among the four kings, the most favorable thing for my father is King Rong."
"When a group of jackals, tigers and leopards stare at a piece of venison, as long as someone provokes it, it will definitely cause an uproar. And we just need to be the invisible hand that fuels the fire. As for whom jumps out first, it doesn't matter to us."
Lu Qingheng didn't know that the emperor was crazy and Liu Concubine died, and the wise king stayed in the door. The last time the man in black came, it would take more than a month to get here from Xigan, but Lu Zhan was always able to grasp the dynamics in the court at the first time. How did he get the news?
Lu Qingheng asked suspiciously, "How many eyeliners did Dad put in the court? How many people did you bribe?"
Lu Zhan smiled conceitably, "The foundation must always be laid from the most basic one. It will be a matter of hard work for a father for many years. When the success of his work is completed in the future, he will hand over these forces to you so that you will have no worries."
Lu Qingheng looked at Lu Zhan and suddenly asked, "I have worked hard for many years? It seems that my father has long been determined to rebel, and it has not been caused by this incident."
Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment and quickly said calmly, "So what? Plan ahead, no future, there will be immediate worries. If he doesn't offend me, how could I have such a desire to make things happen? Everything was brought up by him."
Lu Qingheng smiled bitterly, "No, even if there is no Master who joins Xu Xiang to conspire to kill you, you will not let him go. This time, it just gave you an opportunity. Dad, how are you going to cooperate with Beilie? Do you believe in Ba Wuqing so much?"
Lu Zhan patted Lu Qingheng's shoulder and said seriously, "Ba Wuqing helps me to continue to hold Xu Chang'an. When I gain power, the left and right wing troops will integrate, and they will send troops to seize the Eastern Wei first and then destroy Nanning. If Ba Wuqing wants to take over any of his own, he will probably steal the chicken but lose the rice. So if Ba Wuqing wants to get more, he has to cooperate with me, because he himself knows that no matter which son of Zhu Xidao sits on the throne, he will not be able to share the world equally."
Lu Qingheng couldn't speak, the truth was cruel and realistic, and it made people unable and had to face it. Even though he was bloody, Lu Qingheng felt that he could not break free from the shackles. He told Yao'er to be on guard against Zhu Jingyu and asked Zhu Jingyu to protect the Lu family in the name of defending the country for Zhu's family. In the end, he did a great debauchery to covet the throne of Zhu. Family and friendship, what is loyalty? What is filial piety? Is it really difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times?
If King Fu ascended the throne today and Zhu Jingyu wanted to rebel, he would definitely overcome all obstacles for Zhu Jingyu without hesitation. King Fu was incompetent and ascending to the throne would only make the people of Xi Gan even more straits, so he supported the overthrow of tyranny. If King Jin succeeded to the throne, as long as Zhu Jingfeng could be a wise monarch, he believed that Jingyu would choose to support King Jin like him.
But if he... Lu Qingheng's father stole the dragon throne and was not justified, how could he bear the infamy of the whole world, how could he face Zhu Jingyu again? How to deal with it?
A thought came to Lu Qingheng's heart, a thought that made him feel scared. He trembled with his hands and tried hard to suppress his inner panic. He felt that his voice came from Jiu Xiaoyunwai and was out of reach. "Dad, mother, brothers and sisters, are you also in your plan?"
Lu Zhanben stopped when he wanted to leave, and his originally bent waist suddenly straightened, as if he was fighting with him. After a while, he turned to look at Lu Qingheng. His eyes were so deep that it was as dark as a black hole. Lu Qingheng's heart suddenly rose.
"Heng'er, one general's success has led to thousands of bones undone."
With one sentence, just one sentence, Lu Qingheng suddenly felt a biting cold. No, he no longer felt consciousness, his soul left his body, and his blood coagulated.
"Dad." He roared and tried all Lu Qingheng's strength. He fell down on the bed, and the wound on his back was cracked and bloody, but he ignored it and rushed to Lu Zhan to kneel down, crying.
"Dad, they are your wife and children. You once loved them so much, how could you bear to use them as chess pieces?"
Lu Qingheng roared and his head kept knocking on the ground. After a few strokes, Lu Zhan's feet were already covered with blood marks. Lu Zhan closed his eyes, waved his hand and brushed Lu Qingheng to the bed, and said with a cold face, "Didn't you ever want to use them? But if I don't leave them in the capital, how could Zhu Xidao and Xu Changan believe me? I am your father and your mother's husband, and I don't want to put them in danger. Heng'er, in the eyes of those people in the Zhu family, they are chess pieces that check and balance me, so no one will touch them easily. In the future... in the future... dad will definitely find a way to keep them safe."
Lu Qingheng seemed to not know Lu Zhan, and laughed to the sky while crying, with endless sarcasm in his words. "Save them? You set up all the plans from the moment you abandon them. They are tools to confuse the emperor in your eyes. You don't care about their life and death at all. What you care about is your plot and treason, your Ashi's reputation. In your heart, we are all your chess pieces, mother is, brothers are, Yao'er is, and so are me! You collude with thieves to sell the country and seek honor, and you abandon your wife is unkind and unrighteous. Dad, Heng'er begs you, I beg you to turn back and don't make any mistakes. Mother is still making shoes for you at home, Yun'er Bo'er is still waiting for you to teach them to ride horses and shoot arrows, and Yao'er is still looking forward to you to choose a good match for her. Dad, you once loved them so much, are they all fake?"
Looking at Lu Qingheng who was crying and collapsed, Lu Zhan's face was sad, and his beautiful wife and children kept flashing in his mind. He wanted to help Lu Qingheng, but his body staggered and almost fell.
Seeing Lu Zhan's face loose, Lu Qingheng hurriedly supported him, "Dad, have you figured it out? Do you still love us, are you the one who loves this family? Yao'er once said that you are the most kind father in the world. She said that she is not wrong. You are the best father. You love your mother deeply and are the best husband."
Lu Qingheng couldn't help but feel happy, and didn't care about the pain of his back being so bloated that he smiled like a child.
However, after hearing his words, Lu Zhan suddenly felt cold all over his body, and the slightest bit of shake on his face was replaced by ruthlessness. It was like a different person, without any warmth.
Lu Qingheng was shocked and hurriedly called Lu Zhan, "Dad, you..."
Lu Zhan's eyes were covered with black fog bit by bit, and he locked Lu Qingheng's shoulders tightly, his voice seemed to come from the underground, "Shut up, don't say anything, no one can stop my plan. There will always be someone sacrifice to achieve great things. I feel wronged Yun'er. In the future, my father will definitely build a ancestral hall for him and let him enjoy the eternal incense."
Lu Qingheng instinctively felt something was wrong in Lu Zhan's words, and subconsciously said, "No, dad, mother and Boer Yaoer, they can't die, they all have to live. Dad, save them."
Lu Zhan pushed Lu Qingheng away suddenly, and laughed wildly like a demon. "They? Save them? They should have died, they shouldn't have come to this world."
Lu Zhan suddenly approached Lu Qingheng with a stormy face and said softly, "Heng'er, it's enough for you to have. You look really similar to her, even more like your mother. In fact, Yao'er looks the most like her, but it's okay... But it's okay, just have you by your father's side. She is not in good health, and her lifelong wish is to just want one child. When her father conquers Xigan, she will take you to see her. How good do you call her "Mother"? If she knows it underground, she will definitely be very happy."
Lu Qingheng's heart was filled with storm, looking at Lu Zhan who was completely unfamiliar with fear. He had no idea who the "she" he was talking about was, but it was certainly not his mother. He also said that Yao'er and the others deserved to die, what did he mean?
Even if Lu Qingheng was humble, he was more angry than fear at this moment. He stood up, and the young man's tall body was as tough as green bamboo, sharp and strong. Lu Qingheng's eyes wide open, sadness and disappointment made him speechless, but he forced to look at the man he had always regarded as the sky, and asked aggressively, "Who is she? She is not her mother? Did you exchange your mother's life for power for her? Where is she? Is she dead? I'm going to see her, I'm going to ask her what kind of ecstasy she gave you, making you so ruthless. You are not my father, and I will never be with you."
As Lu Qingheng said, he rushed out. Before he reached the door, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes turned dark, and he fell into darkness.
The thick ink in Lu Zhan's eyes faded away again, and Lu Qingheng was lying on the bed. Lu Zhan walked out and walked out from behind the tent, a short man wearing silver armor, lowered his head and quietly approached Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan said to him with his back, "Look at him, continue to take the medicine, don't hurt him, and treat the wound."
Without waiting for the short man to respond, Lu Zhan left without looking back.
The man waited for Lu Zhan to walk away before he raised his head, facing the sunshine, his dark blue eyes were visible.
