"No, it's not the rebels or the bandits, it's Chen Tong, the prince! They killed him!"
Wenshan told the whole process and what Li Chen asked him to say, word for word.
As Wenshan told them, the expressions of Long Tiande and Long Huaiyu became more exciting and colder.
After Wenshan finished speaking, Long Tiande took a deep breath and said warmly to Wenshan: "Wenshan, this trip has wronged you. You should rest well first, and then make plans after you recover."
After comforting Wen Shan, Long Tiande got up and went to the study with Long Huaiyu.
When Long Huaiyu closed the door, Long Tiande's face turned completely gloomy.
He slapped his hand on the desk and shouted angrily: "Prince Li Chen, how dare you humiliate us like this!"
Long Huaiyu comforted him: "Dad, calm down, now we have to consider how to deal with it."
Long Tiande snorted coldly: "How else can we deal with it? Li Chen's meaning is already clear. He doesn't want to talk to us. Even if we talk, he will take the lead. We go and beg him. In this way, Xishan Province can still
What’s left? What’s left for the Long family?”
Long Huaiyu frowned and said, "But it is precisely because of this that we cannot act on impulse."
After taking a look at Long Huaiyu, he saw that this son, who was calm and had the demeanor of a general, had always been Long Tiande's greatest pride.
So even though he was in a rage at this time, he still suppressed his anger and said: "What do you think we should do?"
Long Huaiyu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "In fact, we can now look at this issue from the perspective of the prince."
"Zhao Heshan, although he was worshiped as the chief envoy of Xishan Province, he was just a petty official before. The reason why he rose to the top in one step and acted so boldly in Xishan Province was because of the support of the prince."
"And the prince chose him to come to Xishan Province for a specific purpose. Perhaps what the prince values is his decisive and decisive temperament, which can clean up the officialdom of Xishan Province in the shortest time."
"The word "kill" is simple to say, but not easy to do. Just being prepared to be assassinated at any time is not something ordinary people can do."
"But Zhao Heshan has done all this, and he has indeed killed a group of people. The current mess in Xishan Province really needs people like Zhao Heshan to break through all the methods."
"At this time, we represented the local interest factions in Xishan Province and went to talk to the prince. It was originally a mutual compromise. The prince got the benefits and our continued stable development was the way out. But the prince refused. In my opinion, there are two points.
.”
"One reason is that there are rebels in Xishan Province. The prince cannot tolerate the existence of the rebels. He is still unable to determine whether we are colluding with the rebels and whether we are colluding with each other. This is related to how he wants to talk to us."
"The second point is still about the rebels. Maybe the prince did not intend to talk to us from the beginning. In the end, the imperial court will have a battle with the rebels. When the soldiers and horses cross the border, we, together with the rebels, will be captured by the imperial army.
Crush.”
Long Huaiyu's analysis made Long Tiande look uncertain.
"The prince is only in his twenties. How can he have such a mind at such a young age?"
Long Huaiyu smiled and said, "Dad, I'm only in my twenties. I can't look down on others because of my age."
"Then what do you think we should do? Let's not talk about it? Go directly to the rebels or Zhao Xuanji?" Long Tiande asked.
Long Huaiyu smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, let's go to the capital and the East Palace!"
