"He is your junior brother, so you naturally speak for him. One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven! Tongtong Shunmin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was also extremely unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the emperor has given an order, we naturally have to obey our orders. The official still has important things to do, so take the first step! Deng Wenshang, the head of the household, smiled slightly, bowed slightly to everyone, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

After Shen Shikang's rebellion, he, the left servant of the household department, was promoted to one level and naturally became the current household secretary.

He had just been promoted, and his qualifications were still shallow, so naturally he couldn't compare with those old people who had been sitting in the Shangshu position for a long time. He didn't expect this position as the first assistant, so it didn't make a difference to him who was on top.

And he has made his position clear before that he will not be with everyone. Therefore, some time ago, when these people were fighting openly and secretly, he was wise enough to protect his life and not get involved in this dispute.

Someone took the lead, and the other ministers began to walk outside the hall one after another. They are not qualified to fight for the position of the first assistant, so they are not so resistant to Gu Chengyu entering the cabinet.

In fact, there are only a part of them that are too resistant, and they are all minions of various factions.

The ministers in this hall walked for more than half of the time, Gu Chengyu saluted everyone, and then strode out of the hall. He walked out of the main hall, paused, glanced behind him, and sneered.

This is just the beginning, and these people accept incompetence? It's still early!

......

"Lord Wang! Our losses this time are not small, and it seems that King Jing's foundation is not shallow! Li Changan's face was solemn, they did suffer heavy losses this time, and this period of time has stopped.

King Gong sneered, "The foundation is not shallow? It's just relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue! This time, this king underestimated him, but he didn't expect him to leave his back hand a long time ago. ”

"Oh no, my lord, our armory workshop has been looted again." A soldier ran in to report it.

"What? The fourth one has done it again? King Gong was shocked, he lost a lot of money the previous time, but the fourth child didn't take advantage of it. To make a comeback so soon, is it to declare war on him again?

"No, it's the people sent by the imperial court! This time, the imperial court seems to be coming for us, they are recruiting troops at the border pass, and it seems that they want to expand the army. And the imperial court has sent 100,000 elite soldiers to Fengqing Mansion, and has successfully taken over Fengqing Mansion. Now that Fengqing Mansion has become an impregnable wall, it is heavily guarded, and we can't hear any news. ”

"What? Court? King Gong's face sank, this second brother either didn't make a move, and once he made a move, it was a two-pronged approach!

"Are you saying the imperial court is recruiting? You go and find out the exact news, and the secret agents of Fengqing Mansion don't act rashly in the next two days. These days the guards are tight, and if we are discovered, we will have a few useful chess pieces. At that time, it will be even more difficult to find out the news. ”

"Lord Wang! Lu Ergongzi is here. ”

"Let him in!" King Gong was about to consult with Lu Chen, and it was so smooth for the imperial court to take over the fourth child's Fengqing Mansion, which made him unbelievable.

"Lord Wang!" Lu Chen entered the study and saluted the two of them.

"Liangchen, have you ever heard that the imperial court sent troops?" King Gong turned around and walked towards the top, believing that Lu Chen had heard the wind.

"My subordinates are here for this, my lord! The imperial court is resolute this time, and I am afraid that it will deal with us and King Jing at the same time. The subordinates just went to inquire about the recruitment of troops and horses at the border pass, and I heard that this time the imperial court did not hesitate to spend money to buy soldiers to enlist in the army, just to deal with us and King Jing. ”

"It seems that the imperial court has made up its mind this time!" King Gong felt that it was a little tricky, he was first caught off guard by King Jing this time, and then the court was eyeing him.

His foundation is still too shallow! King Gong sighed deeply.

"Lord Wang! The subordinates have an idea, the prince might as well listen to it! Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and explained his purpose to King Gong.

"Let's just say it!" Lu Chen has always had a flexible brain, and he has given him advice before, so he is very much looking forward to what Lu Chen said.

"Lord Wang! Since the imperial court wants to deal with the two of us, then we might as well form an alliance to deal with the imperial court first, I don't know what the prince wants? ”

"Alliance?" King Gong leaned forward and looked at Lu Chen's gaze in surprise.

"You mean an alliance with the fourth?" King Gong was not angry, but scanned Lu Chen up and down with an inquiring gaze.

"Lord, no! King Jing is scheming, if he forms an alliance with him, he has to prevent him from stabbing him in the back, and he thinks that it is absolutely impossible! As soon as Li Changan heard Lu Chen's suggestion, he hurriedly objected.

King Jing is so calculating, and their alliance with King Jing is tantamount to conspiring with the tiger, which is really not a wise move.

"Lord Wang! The current situation is very unfavorable to us, if we do not form an alliance, it is only a matter of time before we are attacked by the imperial court one by one. It's just a temporary alliance, and after the imperial court conquers it, the two of us will have a final showdown. Although King Jing is calculated, you are not inferior to him at all, and even more courageous than him, and your subordinates are very confident in you. ”

Lu Chen smiled slightly, saying flattering words, but his expression was very sincere.

"Then if King Jing grows stronger and threatens us later, will we still have time to do it? Besides, King Jing may not be willing to form an alliance with us, after all, the two sides fought to the death before, and he still hates the prince in his heart! ”

Li Changan was not optimistic about this matter, he always felt that this idea was too dangerous.

"This king thinks this is feasible!" King Gong thought for a long time, but agreed with Lu Chen's words.

"Lord Wang!" Li Changan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the prince to finally agree. He turned to look at Lu Chen, his eyes full of inquiry and warning.

Perhaps it was because Lu Chen and King Jing got close before, and the two had a bad relationship, which made him doubt Lu Chen's loyalty. Although Lu Chen behaved well during this time, he still couldn't let go, for fear that Lu Chen would turn against King Jing.

"It's really a good idea, but now that he's trapped in Fengqing Mansion, I don't know what his situation is there. If he is really controlled by the imperial court, then there is no need for us to form an alliance with him. ”

King Gong suddenly felt that this idea was really good, and he should work together to deal with the second child first, after all, the second child was the most threatening.

"Lord Wang! ...... with him" Li Changan saw that the prince really had such a plan, and he couldn't help but want to persuade him.

"Well, this alliance is still undecided! Liangchen, you go to find out the news, if the fourth child can still move, it's not impossible for us to form an alliance, how can there be an eternal enemy in this world? ”

King Gong interrupted Li Chang'an's words, if this matter is to be handled well, it really has to be Lu Chen. After all, the two still had some love before, and Lu Chen would lobby for this negotiation.

I believe that the fourth child will also consider this matter for the sake of Lu Chen's face. In fact, this is the best way at present, the fourth is not a stupid person, he should agree.
