After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

"His Majesty."

Lu Bing and the palace servants were terrified and rushed forward to check.

Lu Chen forced himself to hold on and raised his hand.

I don't know when that evil creature became so cruel and vicious. Although he was just a little naughty before, he would not be so desperate as to disregard the overall situation and turn against his own brother.

The Yan army had been eyeing Jiangzuo covetously and wanted to cross the river at any time. How could he go to war against his own brothers at this critical juncture?

After dismissing all the palace servants and leaving Lu Bing behind, Lu Chen leaned on the couch and said slowly, "Lu Bing, I don't have much time left. There are some things I can only entrust to you."

Thinking about the years he had been with His Majesty in the battles, no matter how difficult the situation was, His Majesty had never said such discouraging words. He was so heartbroken that tears streamed down his face: "Your Majesty must not be so pessimistic. Your Majesty's health will gradually get better."

After thinking for a while, he volunteered, "I am willing to go to Jinyang in person on behalf of Your Majesty and summon the prince back to the city."

"I know my own body well."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Now even if I go there in person, it is difficult to ensure that the evil creature will come back obediently. There is only one way to preserve this harmonious situation, which is to make the brothers unite against the enemy."

Lu Bing choked up and nodded: "Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

Lu Chen closed his eyes reluctantly: "Chen Lin must not be allowed to rebel against Daning again. The prince must not know that my fatal injury was caused by Chen Lin's arrow."

At this point, his heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

I have never killed innocent people in my life, but now I have to do so for the sake of the overall situation.

"You will secretly execute the imperial physician and palace maid who knew about this. When you are buried with me in the future, you must keep this matter to yourself and never tell anyone."

Lu Chen already had the idea of ​​persuading his son to return. He knew his son best. The evil boy would only compromise and obey him when he felt guilty.

In this case, let him feel guilty for the rest of his life, this way he will surely learn a lesson.

"Lu Bing, bring me paper and pen, and draft the imperial edict for me personally."

Lu Bing immediately took out paper and pen, and under his instructions, with tears in his eyes, he wrote several edicts in succession, one to Lu Linzhi and some to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

After Lu Bing sealed each edict, he looked at the edict to the Crown Princess and said in a deep voice, "I have arranged everything I can for the Crown Princess. If the new emperor is incompetent, you can let the Crown Princess take the edict to help the eldest grandson of the emperor inherit the throne."

He believed that the child had the ability to assist a great king and bring peace and prosperity to Daning.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen stood up calmly, called his personal attendant Lu Yuan in, and shouted loudly: "Call the soldiers, follow me to Jinyang, and personally welcome Prince Zhong back to the city."

Seeing him staggering out of the hall, with every step he took seeming to be filled with blood, Lu Bing's heart seemed to be bleeding as well. He knelt on the ground in tears, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."

Hearing the rough crying sound behind him, Lu Chen closed his eyes, struggled to walk out of the palace, mounted his warhorse with difficulty, and led his personal army camp straight towards Jinyang.

……

On the rough river, the huge fleet was moving very slowly.

When Lu Linzhi came back from Jinyang, he did not return directly to Wengcheng by water.

Ever since he learned that the prince's peace talks in Shucheng had failed, he had guessed that the prince would not let him return safely.

At this time, he did not want to be an enemy of the prince and give Dayan an opportunity to take advantage of him, but he could not allow himself to be bullied.

Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, the Crown Prince holds power and has 200,000 troops on the front line under his control. If we go back by river, it will be a dead end. The only way to have a chance of survival is to choose to land in Jizhou on the other side of Jinyang.

As long as he can return to his fiefdom in Dali smoothly, the prince will not be able to fight against him in a short period of time.

Unless, he would rather abandon the entire Daning and put himself to death.

Fu Rui was terrified all the way. As he was about to reach the Jizhou Port, his heart began to beat wildly.

"Sir, why don't you retreat back to Jinyang first."

Fu Rui advised, "Let my subordinates go to Jizhou first to get some information. The prince said that he would meet you at the Wengcheng port, but he must have expected that you would land at Jizhou, and there would be ambushes everywhere along the way."

Lu Linzhi looked into the distance at the river and ignored him.

Fu Rui continued, "The leader is still in the Dali fiefdom, and he still has tens of thousands of followers. As long as you are safe, the prince will not dare to embarrass the Liren Gang easily. King Jinyang has always respected you, and he will definitely protect you."

"How to protect each other?"

Lu Linzhi said: "Persuade him to establish his own regime? Go to war with the crown prince? And let Dayan reap the benefits?"

In order to stabilize the rear and annihilate the pirates, that man did not hesitate to use himself as bait. How could I ruin the situation that I had worked so hard to build with her just for my own safety?

Moreover, after going through so many things, he was completely disappointed with the prince and did not want to see that person being let down by the prince again and again, and being put in danger again and again.

He now just wants to return to Liyang as soon as possible.

……

In Jizhou Prefecture, Lu Linchu sat upright in the hall, remaining silent and staring at the distant horizon.

It was not until Lu Yan came in anxiously that his face showed a hint of strangeness.

"Your Highness, as you expected, Prince Zhong did not go directly up the river back to Wengcheng. He led his fleet to Jizhou."

"very good."

Lu Xici's shrill voice made Lu Hui, who was unaware of the situation, very puzzled.

He had recently discovered that the prince's voice had become increasingly soft and shrill, and his behavior had become much more bizarre than usual, but he had no idea what was going on.

Moreover, he is becoming more and more arbitrary and cruel, not as approachable as before, which makes people feel scared.

This time, in order to deal with the Fourth Young Master, he actually mobilized the entire army, and did not even report it to His Majesty. It is hard to imagine what His Majesty would think when he learned about this.

"Prince, how about we think about this carefully again?"

Lu Hui tried to persuade him, "Prince Zhong has the Liren Gang under his control, and Prince Jinyang also respects him very much. This time, Chen Lin was able to surrender because of Prince Zhong's power. I am really worried that if we cannot completely get rid of Prince Zhong this time, our Daning will probably fall into civil strife."

After carefully examining him, Lu Hui continued, "After all, the Crown Princess, the Queen, and the Emperor's eldest grandson are still in Liyang. If anything happens to them, His Majesty will definitely blame them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Linchu slapped him hard in the face.

The loud slapping sound echoed in the hall for a long time, and even Lu Yan, who was standing nearby, was frightened.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you first."

Lu Linchu scolded viciously.

His fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. He said resolutely, "There will be no contingencies. Whoever dares to be soft-hearted and let Prince Zhong escape this time, I will hold him accountable."
