"How could it be Prince Cheng?" Lu Yurong said thoughtfully: "Could it be that Prince Cheng also aspires to the throne?"
Chu Li laughed: "Why doesn't Prince Cheng want the throne?"
Lu Yurong opened her mouth, then closed it again.
All princes have the opportunity to become the emperor. Although King Jing is the most likely, it does not mean that other princes have no possibility. For all princes, there is only one step away, and you can become the Lord of the Nine Cauldrons. It is indeed an infinite temptation.
.
The taste of power is the most intoxicating, and no man can refuse it.
Chu Li continued: "But there is also a possibility that the people of the Guangming Holy Cult want to muddy the water to buy time for Da Li's recovery, and once they trap Prince Ping, it will be of endless benefit to them."
"As long as he's not Prince Ping, that's fine." Lu Yurong said.
In her opinion, the most threatening person is King Ping, and the other kings are not of concern. As for King Cheng, as long as King Jing himself does not commit suicide, King Cheng has little chance, no matter how much he turns the tables, it will be useless.
Chu Li smiled and said: "No matter how urgent it is, there is no need to come here in the middle of the night, right?"
"To avoid suspicion." Lu Yurong said calmly: "There are many people in the daytime, who knows what others will say."
Chu Li smiled and said: "King Jing wants you to keep your distance from me?"
Lu Yurong shook her head gently: "I'm leaving tomorrow."
Chu Li was surprised: "After this incident, you still want to leave?"
"It has nothing to do with the overall situation." Lu Yurong said.
If this matter is not handled well, it will be a hidden danger in the future, but it will have no impact on the current position of the prince. The emperor has made up his mind and will not let anyone else be the prince, let alone become the king.
As soon as this incident came out, it made the emperor even more determined. It originally took some time to brew it in the court, build momentum, and announce the prince's ownership in a matter of seconds. But now it seems that this cannot be tolerated. Everything should be kept simple and quick.
Chu Li said: "It's a pity that Lu Guangdi can't be dealt with after a month. If you leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him."
"You don't have to see it with your own eyes." Lu Yurong smiled lightly: "I believe you will humiliate him so hard that he will never be able to hold his head up again."
Chu Li smiled and nodded: "Don't forget Gu Qi."
"His leadership will not be long." Lu Yurong said calmly: "After Prince Jing becomes the crown prince, he will talk about Gu Qi's affairs in front of the emperor."
Chu Li frowned: "It may not affect Gu Qi. After all, the Secret Guard Mansion is the emperor's eyes and ears, not the prince's."
"If you can't use the Secret Guard Mansion as your eyes and ears, what privileges does the prince have?" Lu Yurong said: "I believe the emperor will hand over the Secret Guard Mansion to the prince."
"Well, that's true." Chu Li pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled: "It seems that your promise can be fulfilled."
"Even if the emperor doesn't agree, I have other options." Lu Yurong said, "I can always get Gu Qi away, don't worry."
Chu Li said: "You returned to the Duke's Mansion to avoid the limelight?"
"It's up to you." Lu Yurong said calmly.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
The two of them were fighting each other, and Lu Yurong suddenly left. He was a little reluctant to leave. After all, it was a satisfying feeling to compete with someone who was equally matched.
Lu Yurong said: "I think Chu Li and you are a little too close to Prince Ping."
Chu Li looked at her with a smile.
Lu Yurong said: "Although Prince Ping has left the military power and ignores trivial matters, he is the biggest threat to Prince Jing... He can do anything for revenge. If Prince Jing does not let him take revenge in the future, I don't know what he will do. Maybe
It will affect you, and Prince An's Palace cannot bear the trouble. For the sake of Prince An's Palace, you still have to distance yourself from Prince Ping."
Chu Li burst out laughing.
Lu Yurong snorted: "Why are you laughing!"
Chu Lidao: "You are treating the other person with his own way!"
"Am I being unreasonable?" Lu Yurong snorted.
Of course she knew that Chu Li could defeat her own intentions. She was trying to alienate him from Prince Ping and eliminate the threat.
But the most powerful thing is that even though he knew that the other party was not well-intentioned, he still felt that he was justified and had to listen, just like when he told himself to keep a sufficient distance from Prince Jing.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I have no intention of helping King Ping seize the throne."
"Are you willing to just watch with cold eyes?" Lu Yurong snorted.
Chu Li said: "It doesn't matter who sits on the throne, Prince An's Mansion or Prince An's Mansion."
"That's not necessarily the case." Lu Yurong said: "Prince Ping is a general. Once Wufu takes over the country, the country will be unrest. He would rather break his temper than bend, and the master will definitely be cruel. When the time comes, Daji will be in turmoil.
The war continues!”
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Lu Yurong's words make sense. Prince Ping does have a soldier's temperament, and he acts fiercely but tactfully. Once he becomes the emperor, he may not be able to stand the anger of the master and will do extreme things, thus affecting the stability of the season.
For the common people, no matter how righteous a war is, it is still painful. It is better to be a peace dog than to leave people indiscriminately.
Lu Yurong said: "Chu Li, you are different from me. You are more aware of the sufferings of the people. You will not put the people in dire straits for your own selfish interests, right?"
Chu Li laughed and said: "I don't have such great ability to influence the general trend of the world, and King Ping understands the harm of war better than King Jing, and will consider it more carefully."
"Humph, did I try it out?" Lu Yurong pointed at him and hummed: "You still have the intention of helping Prince Ping seize the throne!"
Chu Li waved his hand and smiled: "I am purely refuting what you said...and there are still about ten years. It is too early to say this. Someone might assassinate them the next day."
"Assassins must be on guard." Lu Yurong frowned and said, "Prince Ping was too careless to allow the disciples of the Holy Sect of Light to lurk for so long. Fortunately, they were only the maids of the princess. Wouldn't it be scary if she were his bodyguards?"
Chu Li remained silent.
He was thinking whether the assassination of the princess had anything to do with the Holy Light Church.
Lu Yurong said: "No matter what, Prince Ping made a big mistake this time. I guess the ministers will not let go of the opportunity to attack."
Chu Li nodded.
Except for the Ministry of War, all the other ministries and offices supported King Jing. How could they let go of such an opportunity to completely defeat King Ping? King Ping had to be wronged again this time, and he must be very depressed.
Lu Yurong said: "I've said what needs to be said, let's go."
Chu Li said: "Be careful, the Holy Sect of Light may be targeting you."
Lu Yurong snorted and said, "Let's see if they dare to come!"
Chu Li said: "If I kill you and put the blame on King Ping, what will King Jing do?"
"Then you have to be able to kill me." Lu Yurong smiled.
Chu Li shook his head: "Don't underestimate the methods of the Holy Religion of Light!"
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Lu Yurong nodded.
She is always accompanied by seven maids. With the seven of them working together, no matter how powerful the master is, they can block it, so she is full of confidence.
Chu Li knew that she had taken it into his heart, so he stopped rambling, but his mind was turning, thinking that the overall situation here had been decided, and it was time to go back to Da Li to take a look.
Now Prince Ping really has no chance. No matter what the plot is, Prince Ping is the biggest loser and has absolutely no hope of becoming the crown prince.
