"General, this matter cannot be rushed."

Shangguan Daocheng quickly turned his thoughts back to the main point of the matter, and after thinking about it, he came to this conclusion.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised by the result Shangguan Daocheng gave him. After all, his original idea was that this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible and could not be delayed.

"how you said that?"

"Half a month from now, it will be Emperor Dalong's sixtieth birthday. The whole country will celebrate then. That will be the best time to make your identity public..."

Lu Yu was about to question the reason, but after a little thought, he realized that Shangguan Daocheng's words were indeed reasonable and well-founded.

The emperor's 60th birthday is always a grand celebration. It doesn't take much thought to know that many important figures will come to the palace to celebrate together. At that time, he will come out to verify his identity, and once it is confirmed, it cannot be changed.

And I have a certain amount of support in the palace, and they will definitely support me when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu nodded slowly.

Shangguan Daocheng saw that Lu Yu had figured it out on his own, and he spoke again.

"This is just the first step of Shangguan's plan for the general. The second step is to make Mu Bo completely lose the trust of the emperor."

Lu Yu could still figure out the first step, but the latter step was not easy to achieve. After all, Mu Bai was still the crown prince of Dalong, selected by the emperor himself. In addition, except Mu Bai, the emperor had no other prince who was more suitable to be the crown prince. Even if Mu Bai had made many mistakes that angered the emperor, the emperor would not easily take away Mu Bai's position as crown prince.

It is not easy to make the emperor completely disappointed in Mu Bo.

"Please tell me more, Mr. Shangguan."

Shangguan Daocheng bowed and spoke slowly.

"The general only needs to acknowledge the emperor as his relative and confirm his status as a prince. With so many people present, even if the emperor and the general don't have a father-son relationship, he will definitely spend the whole night with the general after the birthday banquet. This is both to test the general's background and to show off to outsiders."

"General, you only need to put the fact that Mu Bo killed you in front of the emperor, and Mu Bo will naturally disappoint the emperor."

Lu Yu was even more puzzled. He didn't think that the emperor would be angry with his eldest son, whom he had doted on since childhood, for an illegitimate child with whom he had never lived.

This was unreasonable in Lu Yu's eyes.

"General, you don't know how the emperor came to sit on the throne."

Shangguan Daocheng was well-read and naturally knew the history of Dalong very well. These contents would not be recorded in official history, after all, they were scandals of the royal family, but they were recorded in detail in unofficial history.

"Emperor Mu Tong of Dalong is not actually the founding emperor of Dalong. The real founding emperor of Dalong is Mu Tong's elder brother, Mu Wan."

"General, you should also know that the throne is inherited by the younger brother after the elder brother dies, and the son after the father dies."

"Mu Wan had only one brother, Mu Tong, and he died at a young age. In order to establish a great cause, he did not marry or have children. Mu Wan's only heir after his death was Mu Tong."

"According to official history, Mu Wan was only on the throne for 29 days, and the reign title was given to him. On the 29th day, Mu Wan died of a heart attack. Therefore, when Mu Tong ascended the throne, because Mu Wan's reign was too short, the title of his reign was directly erased."

"But Mu Wan was born into a martial arts family, so how could he die of a heart disease? People don't know that Mu Wan was actually poisoned by Dalong Emperor Mu Tong."

Lu Yu listened to everything Shangguan Daocheng said with his eyes wide open in shock, and it was difficult to digest for a while.

"This also became a source of worry for Dalong Emperor Mu Tong. Because of a momentary thought, he killed the only brother who truly loved him in his life."

"Therefore, in the heart of Emperor Dalong, what he cannot accept the most is that his own children have reached the point where they turn their swords against each other and kill each other. Emperor Dalong is old and his time is running out. He hopes to see his children being brothers and sisters in harmony and in peace."

Lu Yu suddenly realized that Mu Bo wanted to kill him because he knew that he was the illegitimate son of the current emperor. He only needed to mention this matter in front of Emperor Dalong, which would surely remind Emperor Dalong of his own illness and make him angry with Mu Bo. In addition, Mu Bo's reckless behavior in recent times would surely make him completely disappointed in him.

Lu Yu looked at Shangguan Daocheng indifferently, his eyes full of praise. Emperor Dalong did not realize that this talented strategist had made him a treasure.

"Good! Mr. Shangguan is very resourceful!"

"The general is full of praise."

Lu Yu was just about to say that he would do it this way, when he suddenly remembered Xiao Mingyue who was still in prison, and then he heard Shangguan Daocheng speak.

"Xiao Mingyue, General, don't worry for now. I will find a way to have Xiao Mingyue kept alive. She just needs to suffer in prison for a while. She will have to wait until the general's status as a prince is revealed before she is released. I will then find a chance to mention this to Emperor Dalong."

Lu Yu was very satisfied with Shangguan Daocheng's comprehensive strategies. As for Xiao Mingyue, Shangguan Daocheng would certainly be able to ensure that Xiao Mingyue's life would not be threatened. Xiao Mingyue should indeed stay in prison and think carefully about the stupid things she had done.

Everything was solved, and Lu Yu's brows, which had been furrowed for many days, suddenly relaxed. Shangguan Daocheng still did not agree to Lu Yu's invitation to a banquet at home as usual. In his opinion, Lu Yu was indeed a Bole who knew how to discover and make use of a good horse, and might very well be a talented and wise emperor, but he was definitely not a trustworthy and close friend. In Shangguan Daocheng's view, inviting him to a banquet at home had gone beyond the ordinary relationship of master and subordinate, and he would not agree.

Lu Yu had long been accustomed to Shangguan Daocheng's complicated thoughts, so he did not insist. Now he just needed to wait at home for the emperor's 60th birthday, and everything would be solved.

A few days later, Xiao Ruge was able to walk again, but she still didn't dare to stay outdoors for too long. As winter approached, the wind was strong and cold, and she was afraid that the cold would come back if she was exposed to it for too long.

Xiao Ruge could only sit in front of the window all day holding a hand warmer, watching the leaves outside fall one by one, and reminiscing about the youthful days when she followed her father on the march as a child.

Lin Zao would sometimes raise his hand to look at his thin arms, probably because he could no longer lift the sword.

After Mu Gu finished his work, the only time he had to relax was to spend some time with Xiao Ruge.

He was the person closest to Xiao Ruge, so how could he not notice that the stone in Xiao Ruge's heart was bothering her.

Although Mu Gu really hoped that Xiao Ruge could stay with him like this forever, he knew very well that Xiao Ruge would not be content to be a useless vase.

Xiao Ruge belongs to the wider world, and Mu Gu hopes that Xiao Ruge can get what she wants.
