Lu Haosheng's expression was grim, he knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, I don't dare to say this. ”

"But that's what you mean." King Qi suddenly stood up and said sharply: "Lu Haosheng, Lu Haosheng, I didn't expect you to be a traitor without a father and a king. ”

Lu Haosheng raised his head, stared at King Qi, and said, "Lord Wang, you can execute your humble position at any time, but the predicament you are facing is like this, you are dull and dull, and you can't think of a deeper meaning." ”

King Qi trembled, staring at Lu Haosheng who was kneeling in front of him, and after a while, his body shook slightly, and he sat down suddenly, and said weakly: "You get up." ”

Lu Haosheng got up, and King Qi said, "Don't say such things in the future." ”

"The lowly will only say this once." Lu Haosheng said: "It's just that if you say this again, it's already in vain, the prince has been trapped in the sky net, even if he wants to get out, it is already a thousand difficulties." ”

"Where are you going to let this king leave Beijing?" King Qi looked at Lu Haosheng, "There is no main force of this king in the capital, where can I help this king?" ”

"Northwest!"

"Northwest?" King Qi's body was shocked, and he frowned: "You mean Chu Huan?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "That is the only place where the prince can go, and it is also the prince's last hope, but how much help he can get, he can't be sure." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The help of the prince in the northwest is only Chu Huan." Lu Haosheng said with a straight face: "If Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang are concerned, no matter which way they go, the prince will not be able to command. ”

"They're going to rebel?" King Qi changed color slightly.

Lu Haosheng said lightly: "The three provinces in the northwest, including Chu Huan, can be regarded as supporting the army and self-respecting, the imperial court is unable to look westward, Zhu Lingyue is ambitious, and the saint sent Chu Huan to the northwest in order to restrain Zhu Lingyue. ”

"Zhu Lingyue wants to rebel?"

"If there is a rebellion by the governor, Zhu Lingyue may be the first." Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "I am thinking about it, if it weren't for Chu Huan, the current northwest might already be Zhu Lingyue's world." ”

King Qi clenched his fists, "Since this person intends to rebel, doesn't the imperial court know what to do?" ”

"Zhu Lingyue's city is very deep, and it does not show mountains and does not leak." Lu Haosheng said: "He has been in the Tianshan Mountains for many years, if it weren't for the eastward expansion of the Western Liang, even if he had great ambitions, but with the strength of the Tianshan Mountains, he would never have a chance." However, the Western Liang advanced eastward, Zhu Lingyue led the army to fight and won the opportunity for himself, at that time the imperial court had not yet seen through his ambitions, he was the only governor of the three northwestern provinces on the front line, the imperial court was naturally reused, and once handed over the power of the northwest to his hands, even if Yu Buqu later went to the northwest, the power in Zhu Lingyue's hands was still not weak. ”

King Qi's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Yu is unyielding and immortal, Zhu Lingyue will not dare to act rashly, at that time, in the northwest, the only one who can suppress Zhu Lingyue is Yu Unyielding." Lu Haosheng said softly: "But Yu Buqu died in the northwest, the sword on Zhu Lingyue's head disappeared, he was naturally lawless, the prince didn't know, just at that time, Zhu Lingyue's recitals appeared in Zhongshu Province almost every day, and every recital was almost for his subordinates, and the official positions in the northwest were almost all invited away by Zhu Lingyue." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "The prince can know that the envoy sent to Xiliang, and on the way back to Beijing, he passed through Jiazhou, and Xue Huai'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw Yu Buqu before he died. ”

"You mean?"

"Xue Huai'an brought back a letter from Yu Unyielding." Lu Haosheng said softly: "That letter was forwarded to the Holy Lord by Yu Buxiu and asked Xue Huai'an, and the content of the letter has not been known to many people until today. ”

"Long history knows the way?"

"Don't forget, the humble position was recommended by the scholar Xu, before that, the humble position and the scholar Xu had nothing to talk about, the humble position has always admired the scholar Xu, and the scholar Xu is also very trusting of the humble position, so there are some things, others don't know, but the humble position knows the way." Lu Haosheng said softly: "Before Yu Buqu died, he revealed a shocking thing in the letter he presented to the saint. ”

"Something earth-shattering?" King Qi couldn't help but lean forward, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"The truth about Yu Buqu's murder."

"What?" King Qi's body was shocked, "This king heard that Yu Buqu is ill, and he is tired on the front line, so he is tired to death, is it ...... 1. What else is hidden? ”

Lu Haosheng nodded and said: "Yes, everyone in the world thinks that Yu Buqu died of illness, Yu Buqu's illness is true, but his death due to illness is fake, according to the situation at the time, if Yu Buqu can return to Beijing in time to recuperate, and there is no worry about his life, even if he stays in the northwest to stabilize the situation in the northwest, it will not be a problem to live for at least three or five years." ”

"After the Xiliang people withdrew, he did not return to Beijing."

"At that time, the imperial court did not know Zhu Lingyue's ambitions, and although Yu Buqu was not sure, he was already on guard." Lu Haosheng said: "He is also worried that after leaving the northwest, there will be a bigger mess in the northwest, so he insists on staying in the northwest, even if his body cannot be conditioned and healed, he can't take care of it...... I have to say that Yu Buqu is a loyal minister! After a pause, he said slowly: "Yu Buqu should be very clear that before the Tianmen Dao Rebellion and the Qingtian King Rebellion were pacified, once the northwest changed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the imperial court was not capable of dealing with the rebels on three sides at the same time, so he knew that unless the rebellion in the southeast and Hebei was put down, he could not leave the northwest, and only after the rebels in the southeast and Hebei were wiped out, he could leave the northwest, and at that time, Zhu Lingyue naturally did not dare to make any moves." ”

"Then how did Yu Buqu die?"

"Poisoned." Lu Haosheng's expression was cold, "Yu Buqu is a southerner, not suitable for the climate in the northwest, and his health has not been good, the capital has sent an imperial doctor to help with conditioning, and Zhu Lingyue has also found a doctor in the northwest to treat him together, although Yu Buqu is wary of Zhu Lingyue, but he didn't expect Zhu Lingyue to have the heart to kill him!" ”

"What?" King Qi changed color in shock, "You mean, Yu Buqu was killed by Zhu Lingyue?" ”

The letter that Xue Huai'an brought back was written by Yu Buqu himself, and Yu Buqu had been controlled by Zhu Lingyue at that time, and Zhu Lingyue used his illness as an excuse, and few people could contact Yu Buqu. When Yu Buqu found out that he was poisoned, the poison had already invaded the whole body, and he knew that Zhu Lingyue's eyes and ears were by his side, and he didn't dare to tell the people around him about it, so as not to kill the people around him. Lu Haosheng sighed lightly: "At that time, Yu Buqu was already extremely weak, his life was short, and he was already desperate, but the mission to Xiliang happened to come back, and after passing through Jiazhou, Xue Huai'an and Chu Huan naturally wanted to see Yu Buqu, and Yu Buqu found the only opportunity and sent the letter. ”

"What does the song explain about the murder?" King Qi's face turned pale, his pupils constricted, he always thought that Yu Buxiu was in charge of the overall situation in the northwest, and he died because of his illness and overwork, and he never imagined that there would be such a conspiracy in the middle.

Lu Haosheng nodded and said: "The poison used by Zhu Lingyue is not detectable by ordinary people at all, and it is mixed with other medicines, although Yu Buqu is careful, he never thought that Zhu Lingyue would be so bold, and when there was a problem with his body later, it was too late for Yu Buqu to discover the secret." ”

"His body was later transported back to the capital." King Qi said: "Have you examined the corpse?" ”

"In order to verify the letter, his body was indeed examined, at the beginning, it was carefully examined by the imperial doctor in the palace, and after several times, it was not found that Yu Buqu's body was poisonous." Lu Haosheng sighed lightly: "Later, it was handed over to the Shenyi Guard, and the Vermilion Bird Qianhu of the Divine Yiwei was a first-class master of using poison, and only then did he find out the poison in Yu Buqu's body, but there were very few people who knew the news. ”

"Zhu Lingyue wants to control the northwest, but he is afraid of Yu Buqu, Yu Buqu will not die for a day, so he can only honestly do nothing." King Qi understood, "He was worried that when the war in the southeast and Hebei ended, Yu Buqu would still be alive, so he would have no chance, so he secretly attacked and killed Yu Buqu early, so that he could do whatever he wanted in the northwest." ”

"Exactly." Lu Haosheng said: "After Yu Buqu's death, Zhu Lingyue quickly took control of the Pingxi Army, inserted cronies all over the place, leaned to the northwest, and covered the sky with one hand. ”

King Qi said hatefully: "He killed Yu Buqu, could it be that the imperial court still allowed him to do anything wrong in the northwest?" He asked the court for a reward, but was the court at his mercy? ”

"I can't help myself." Lu Haosheng sighed: "At that time, the northwest, Tianshan and Xiguan were all under the control of Zhu Lingyue, and tens of thousands of Pingxi troops were also controlled by Zhu Lingyue, even Xiao Huanzhang could only act according to Zhu Lingyue's eyes, and the imperial court had to deal with the war in the southeast and was unable to look westward, so he could only agree to his request first and stabilize him as much as possible." ”

"Steady him?"

"The southeast Tianmen Road is menacing, and the Qingtian King of Hebei was already ready to move at that time, and the imperial court had to deal with the southeast on the one hand, and the Qingtian King on the other hand, which was already overstretched, and he was unable to take care of the northwest at all. If the imperial court does not agree to Zhu Lingyue, he will not get what he wants in the imperial court, and it is very likely that he will raise troops in the northwest, if so, the consequences will be unimaginable. Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "So the imperial court can only stabilize him first, hoping to calm the rebellion in the southeast and Hebei first, and then turn back to clean up the northwest." At the beginning, the imperial court did not expect that the battle situation in the southeast would last so long, if the northwest was completely indulged, Zhu Lingyue's tail would not be lost, and it would be even more troublesome, so he wanted to send Chu Huan to the northwest to restrain Zhu Lingyue, which was a way to do it, and at the beginning, he did not have much expectation for Chu Huan. ”

King Qi smiled bitterly: "At first, this king thought that his father had taken a fancy to Chu Huan's talents, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so it turned out that ...... The imperial court sent Chu Huan to the northwest, almost letting him die! ”

Lu Haosheng said: "The imperial court is also helpless, when Chu Huan set off for the northwest, he thought that he would die for life, but he survived over there, and achieved the result that the imperial court wanted, which restrained Zhu Lingyue and made Zhu Lingyue dare not move. However, choosing Chu Huan is not a random selection of people, when Chu Huan was chosen, he really took a fancy to Chu Huan's advantages! ”

"What advantages?"

"Chu Huan has the courage and does not have the heart to give in in his bones, which is very important." Lu Haosheng said: "If you send someone at will, I am afraid that you will soon be bought by Zhu Lingyue and become Zhu Lingyue's lackey, and the imperial court selected Chu Huan, and after weighing it again, I really feel that Chu Huan will not easily succumb to Zhu Lingyue." And Chu Huan's talents, killing General Mu in Anyi, destroying the Huang family, and several things in the envoy to Xiliang, have been proven, it is indeed brave and strategic, and the most important point is that when Chu Huan arrived in Xiguan, he has more foundation than anyone else. ”

"Foundation?"

"The prince met Chu Huan in Yunshan, do you know that when Chu Huan was in Yunshan, he already had a woman who had a private life?"

King Qi blurted out: "Is it Sister Su Niang?" ”

Lu Haosheng shook his head and said: "It is a woman surnamed Su, her hometown is in Xiguan, and the Su family is in Xiguan, she is the head of the seven surnames of Xiguan, and the seven surnames of Xiguan are the heads of the gentry of Xiguan Road." Chu Huan and the woman surnamed Su made a private lifelong agreement, and they had a relationship with the Su family in Xiguan, and the imperial court took this relationship into account, and even more firmly sent Chu Huan to Xiguan. ”

King Qi frowned and said: "Chu Huan is now in Xiguan, naturally he can't be compared with the deep-rooted Zhu Lingyue, you said that this king only has Chu Huan's help in the northwest, how can he help me?" ”
