"Although you are from out of town, you have heard about how powerful I, the Emperor of Heaven, am, right?" A monk said with a smile.
Lu Yu nodded: "Of course I have heard about His Majesty's power."
The monk looked around and pretended to be mysterious: "But although your Majesty is powerful, he has not been in court for many years. All orders come from the deep palace. Legend has it that even the personal eunuch in the inner palace
, I haven’t seen His Majesty for a long time.”
Lu Yu frowned and said, "The emperor is missing?"
If so, there will be some trouble.
After all, Ji Chenyu's remnant soul is still in the hands of the Emperor of the Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.
If he was not in the capital, it would be a little difficult to find someone in this vast world.
The monk waved his hand quickly: "No! His Majesty has not left, he is still in the palace. It is just that he is practicing in seclusion, preparing to attack the fairyland and go to the heaven."
"I heard that His Majesty's attack on the realm was very successful this time, so he slowly let go of his power, intending to let the princes seize the throne. This time, it was even announced that in ten days, there will be a competition among the princes. Who will
If you win, you can be crowned prince!"
The monk suddenly smiled again: "And it is said that if a prince is established as a prince, he does not need to move into the East Palace, but can directly preside over government affairs in the palace. This can directly exercise the emperor's power. Those princes are already fighting for it.
We are in dire straits, so prepare for the competition in ten days."
Enter the palace?
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, but his expression remained calm as he said, "Then what are they competing for?"
"Talents!" the monk solemnly said: "Each prince selects ten people and goes on the field to fight. The person who wins in the end and the prince behind him will win. This is also what His Majesty said. The emperor does not have to do everything, he only needs to select talents.
Just do whatever you can.”
"Many people are now ready to defect to the prince. If they help any prince succeed in seizing the throne, the benefits will naturally be huge. Even if they don't have the chance to participate in the competition, if the prince they defect to becomes the prince, then their status will naturally be
A rising tide lifts all boats.”
After chatting for a while, Lu Yu said goodbye to several monks.
After leaving the tavern, Lu Yu thought for a moment and then walked straight to a place.
To the east of the capital, there is a street where most of the princes and nobles live.
Lu Yu asked for directions and arrived at the gate of a deep house.
The lacquered red door was tightly closed, and several soldiers in armor were guarding the place. The four characters "Wu Lihou Mansion" were clearly written on the door plaque.
"Stop here, comers, this is Wu Lihou's Mansion!" A soldier saw Lu Yu coming and shouted quickly.
Lu Yu said calmly: "I'm here to see your Lord Marquis."
The soldier looked Lu Yu up and down, and said with some surprise: "Our Lord, the Marquis, has been in seclusion recently and has not seen any guests!"
The other soldiers were also very strange.
The Marquis of their family has been in seclusion all day since his defeat.
Moreover, it is said that the Marquis has been criticized by the Ministry of War and is now living at home and does not go out to meet guests.
As for the others, they were naturally willing to pay a visit to the frustrated general.
Lu Yu smiled faintly: "You just need to tell them that I was the one who asked them to withdraw their troops that day."
What!
Although the soldiers did not go on the expedition, they also heard that their marquis retreated because of a young man in white.
Look at Lu Yu again, he looks exactly the same as the rumored boy in white!
"Just wait, I will inform my Marquis immediately!" A soldier hurriedly walked into the house.
