Chapter 76 It’s too late to regret now
Seeing the leaders being called in one by one, they came out and took away everyone in their faction without telling the truth.
In the end, only the officials related to the Lu family were left in place. They waited for a long time but did not wait for the emperor's summons. They all looked at each other, completely confused as to what was going on.
"Mr. Lu Ge, what's going on now?"
"Why is it that everyone went in, but the emperor ignored us?"
"The Emperor is still angry with us?"
"Even if the emperor is angry again, he can't even ignore Mr. Lu Ge?"
A group of people outside the hall were muttering, and Dong Changrui inside the hall was also worried.
"Your Majesty, is it time to call the Chief Assistant to come in now?"
The emperor waved his hand: "I don't want to see them today, let them go."
"Your Majesty." Dong Changrui was so shocked that he took a deep breath and knelt on the ground, speaking sincerely: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Lu Ge is a veteran of the three dynasties. He is the chief minister personally selected by the late emperor for your majesty. If your majesty breaks away from him, it will probably turmoil the country and the country."
"Others are willing to pay money to atone for their sins. They must be willing as well. Please don't be angry and let this matter go."
At first glance, this person seems to be a slave who is worried about the country and the country.
But inside and outside his words, everything was speaking for Lu Cang, putting the emperor in the position of a junior.
Xiao Jingyun is indeed not a good emperor, and he does need capable ministers. Maybe ministers do not mean that they can do whatever they want.
How could Lu Cang not know anything about what the Gao family did?
Even if he didn't know it before, he knows it now, so why did he expose it?
He just wanted to stop the emperor from investigating, but he didn't care how bad and cruel this thing was, or how resentful the people were.
Is he protecting the country and the country? What he maintains is the dignity and power of the family.
In his eyes, there is no distinction between good and evil.
However, Dong Changrui knew how to manipulate the emperor's heart. He begged and exhorted, and even though Xiao Li shook his head repeatedly, the emperor was still persuaded by Dong Changrui.
Maybe it wasn't that he was persuaded, but that he was scared.
He remembered that the safety of the court over the years had been maintained by Lu Cang. If he really angered Lu Cang, if the court was in chaos, he might not be able to clean up the situation.
It's okay to give them more money, and then he will use part of it to compensate the families who have been harmed, which is the best of both worlds.
"Then let him in."
The emperor spoke, but he was not confident enough and did not dare to look at Xiao Li.
Dong Changrui was so excited that he quickly went out to call someone, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Lu Cang had already realized what the emperor was going to do. After waiting for a while, he walked away, and the others followed him.
Dong Changrui didn't see anyone and jumped anxiously: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu Ge has left with his people!!"
After he finished speaking, he flicked the fly whisk: "I will chase you now, I will chase you immediately!"
Dong Changrui and two eunuchs hurriedly chased after her. Xiao Li also put down the memorial and stood up: "I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time. I'm going to see her."
The emperor laughed dryly: "Haha, yes, my mother misses you too, so go quickly."
Now he just wants to get rid of Xiao Li quickly.
Xiao Li didn't say much, got up and left.
Xiao Li was not surprised at all that the emperor would regret it halfway. The emperor's virtue cannot be said to be that mud can't support the wall. He was born to be a noble prince. The empress dowager protected him and the late emperor protected him. He had never suffered anything in his life. , and can't bear the hardship. He has become accustomed to the current mode of being an emperor. He is a puppet but not completely a puppet. He has the right to make choices but not much.
Maybe he was a little unwilling and wanted to break free and become an emperor who kept his promise, but his unwillingness was like an incompetent roar, which was not enough to support him in massacring all the aristocratic families, let alone revolutionizing the court. .
What kind of people’s emperor? Those are lies made in the heat of the moment, and they are all false.
He was able to get to this point only because of Xiao Li's encouragement and promotion. Now he was persuaded by Dong Changrui, and he suddenly realized that there was a cliff ahead of him, and there was no way back if he went down, and he instantly lost his courage.
He just lost his courage instead of blaming Xiao Li for pushing him here. He still had some conscience.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that not only Xiao Li was pushing the cliff from behind, but Lu Cang and others would also find ways to drag him into the abyss.
Regardless of the past life or this life in the plot.
It's too late to regret now.
Xiao Li left to avoid the main road, but saw Dong Changrui catching up with Lu Cang and others from a distance. He persuaded Lu Cang with his heart and soul, and finally persuaded Lu Cang to go back.
When an angry person suddenly lowers his head, it is not that he realizes his mistake and wants to apologize, but that he is preparing to attack.
——
Xiao Li's purpose is very simple. Anyway, the Lu family will eventually rebel with King Chen, so she will help them and let them rebel in advance, so that everyone will save trouble.
I accidentally discovered what happened at Changchun Tower, and used this as a trigger, just in time to kill a bunch of scum to sacrifice the flag.
Xiao Li had planned everything and spent all his energy to lay out the plan.
Everything went well, except that the emperor suddenly repented and backed down, but it didn't matter. After the Lu family invited Lu Yanzhi back on the pretext of the old lady's unwellness, Xiao Li knew that the matter was done.
"Lu Ye went to see King Chen, and the Minister of War left the city overnight."
Lou Yan's figure came out of the darkness, and the dark patterns on his dark purple brocade clothes floated with the light of the lights, shining with a coquettish light, just like his burning eyes.
Xiao Li raised his eyes and looked at him: "You should tell His Majesty this news. What's the use of telling me?"
Xiao Li did take advantage of Lou Xiang, but she just calculated him into the operation and let him do what he should do as the emperor's blade, instead of using it for her.
Although she would also know the news about the Lu family, it should not be brought to her by Lou Xiang.
Lou Xiang walked to her side step by step, never taking his eyes away from her for a moment: "Is your target the Lu family or King Chen? Or, is it Lu Yanzhi or Liu Xueyin?"
Really sharp.
"You want to know?"
Lou Xiang shook his head: "It's not important."
He looked at her with burning eyes, which contained countless surging emotions. He slowly raised his hand to touch her cheek. His eyes moved little by little with his hand, and finally pressed lightly on the corner of her lips.
The whole body is full of temptation, but it is tightly restrained at the edge.
"Before his death, the late emperor gave the command of his own bodyguard, the Dark Scale Guards, to Dong Changrui. All of the Dark Scale Guards are highly skilled in martial arts and are elite assassins. That team now only listens to his orders. Even I rarely see him. Their figures.”
"It stands to reason that Dong Changrui would not betray the emperor, but tonight he mobilized most of the Dark Scale Guards to replace the Imperial Army. I am afraid he may have had different intentions."
"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight, princess, please be careful."
"Only slaves will take Dong Changrui's life. Princess, don't forget your promise."
The warmth on his cheeks was still there, but the figure had long since disappeared.
Xiao Li was stunned for a while and suddenly laughed out loud. She was actually flirted with by a eunuch.
Ouch, ouch, I really want to finish writing about the Lu family quickly, my head hurts, ugh ugh ugh~~~~~
