More Children, More Blessings, Starting From Marrying A Wife To Fight For World Hegemony

Chapter 43 Intelligence from the Capital

When the Zhou family rebelled, Duke Mu's mansion was implicated once. That time Mu Changtian took out the iron scroll to save the entire Duke Mu's mansion.

It had only been more than a year, but something like this happened again in Mu Guogong's mansion.

Lu Chen somewhat doubted whether his father-in-law was really that stupid.

Even if he was really rebellious, he wouldn't have colluded with the remnants of the Chen Kingdom again in such a short period of time.

He is not a fool. Now Emperor Xia is in his prime, and his realm has broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. It will definitely not be a problem to live for more than a hundred years.

It would be so easy to assassinate Emperor Xia and overthrow the Xia Dynasty.

At this time, Chu Yuqin quickly said to Lu Chen: "Chen'er, Zixuan just gave birth to a child. She must not let her know about this."

Although there is no such thing as postpartum depression in this era, people in this era also know that women are more emotionally sensitive after giving birth.

If Mu Zixuan knew that the whole Mu family was imprisoned, it would probably affect her recovery.

Lu Chen said: "Yes, I understand."

Having said this, Lu Chen looked at Qin Yushan and asked, "Commander Qin, is my father injured in any way?"

Qin Yushan replied: "Back to your Majesty, Your Majesty was not injured. It is said that when the remnants of the Chen Kingdom assassinated Your Majesty, the Imperial Master was in front of Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed.

Then he said: "Are these remnants of the Chen Kingdom really so stupid? How dare they assassinate a Grandmaster in front of a Great Grandmaster?"

Although Situ Ce never said that he was the Great Grandmaster, it was no secret that he was the Great Grandmaster.

After all, he was the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty. Without the strength of the Great Grandmaster, how could he be called the pillar of the country.

When the remnants of the Chen Kingdom assassinated Emperor Xia, did they really not do any homework at all?

Lu Chen continued to ask: "How many assassins did the remnants of the Chen Kingdom send to assassinate my father? What is the strength of these assassins?"

Qin Yushan replied: "According to the intelligence collected by colleagues in the capital, the remnants of the Chen Kingdom sent a total of thirty assassins to lurk into the palace. Most of these assassins are around Sixth Grade in strength, and the strongest among them is Half-step Grandmaster, there are two half-step Grandmasters in total.”

After hearing Qin Yushan's report, Lu Chen didn't know how to complain.

Send thirty assassins and two half-step Grandmasters to a heavily guarded place like the palace to assassinate a Grandmaster.

Moreover, they didn't ask beforehand whether there were any powerful people around the emperor. There was something wrong with the minds of these assassins.

Lu Chen even doubted whether these remnants of the Chen Kingdom were really remnants of the Chen Kingdom.

Lu Chen then asked: "Have Jin Yiwei investigated these remnants of the Chen Kingdom? Are they really the remnants of the Chen Kingdom?"

Qin Yushan said: "Back to your lord, Commander Liang sent people to investigate and confirmed that the remnants of the Chen State had indeed entered the palace. However, after Commander Liang's investigation, I am afraid that the escape of the remnants of the Chen State from the capital has nothing to do with Duke Mu's Mansion. .”

Qin Yushan also knew what Lu Chen wanted to know, so he directly told Liang Zong's investigation.

After hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen fell into silence.

Emperor Xia first used the Zhou family's rebellion to make a fuss and took away the death-free iron scroll from Mu Guogong's mansion, then relieved Mu Changtian of his military power, and finally disbanded the Huben Army and assigned the officers and soldiers of the Huben Army to other military camps. .

Now he is using the remnants of the Chen Kingdom to imprison the whole family of Duke Mu. His father is planning to get rid of the trouble and kill the donkey.

Even if Lu Chen is a political novice, he basically understands what Emperor Xia wants to do.

Mu Changtian and Zhou Wangtian, who rebelled more than a year ago, are known as the two Heavenly Kings of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that Zhou Wangtian has been destroyed, there is another Mu Changtian who is about to go.

With the destruction of their two Heavenly Kings, Emperor Xia's control over the Great Xia Dynasty reached a height never seen before in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty. He took all the military power into his own hands. What was he planning to do?

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak for a long time, Chu Yuqin sighed and said, "Chen'er, your father is probably planning to take action against the noble family."

Hearing this, Lu Chen reacted.

My father, the emperor, is trying every means to take back military power. He must have something to do. Otherwise, why would he risk destabilizing the country and go all out to take back military power?

If you want to attack a noble family, you really need to have soldiers on hand. I didn't expect that my father would have such courage.

Throughout the dynasties, not many emperors dared to attack aristocratic families casually.

It is said that "a thousand-year-old family, a hundred-year dynasty." Even if a dynasty is overthrown, those families will still exist, and it has become common for aristocratic families to monopolize the court.

Lu Chen had to admire his father for being so motivated.

But then again, his current situation is a bit embarrassing.

First of all, his mother's family comes from the Chu family, the largest of the Jiangnan aristocratic families. Secondly, his princess is Mu Changtian's daughter...

Lu Chen then looked at Qin Yushan and asked, "Has the imperial court said what to do with my princess?"

Qin Yushan replied: "This issue has been debated several times in the court. The eighth prince's faction believed that the princess should be brought back to the capital to deal with it together, while the eldest prince believed that the princess was already the prince's wife and should not continue to be regarded as Duke Mu. People from the government."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be people in the capital speaking for this good-for-nothing prince like me."

At this moment, a royal soldier entered the martial arts training ground.

"Your Majesty, there is a Martial Artist claiming to be Jinyiwei outside asking for an audience."

Having said this, the royal soldier glanced at the guards in royal robes on the martial arts training ground, and then continued: "That man is wearing the same clothes as them."

Lu Chen said directly: "Let him come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, the royal soldiers entered the martial arts training ground with the later armored guard.

When the Jin Yiwei soldier saw Lu Chen, he immediately knelt down and said, "See you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen said: "Get up."

Lu Chen originally thought that the Jinyi guard had just arrived at the palace because of the long distance. However, after the Jinyi guard stood up, he immediately took out a bamboo tube from his waist and handed it to Lu Chen.

"Your Majesty, I have received a letter from the capital. The Duke of Mu is suspected of colluding with the remnants of the Chen State and has been exiled to the northwest by His Majesty."

Lu Chen was a little surprised. He had just taken over Jinyiwei and the Jinyiwei intelligence agency was already in operation.

Lu Chen immediately took the bamboo tube from the Jinyiwei soldier, took out a piece of information from it, and read it carefully.

Through the content of the intelligence, Lu Chen instantly understood that this was a routine exchange of information between Jin Yiwei, and it was not because the Jin Yiwei in the capital knew in advance that he, the Northern King, was their master.

Seeing that Lu Chen's face was a little solemn, Chu Yuqin asked: "Chen'er, what's wrong?"

Lu Chen replied: "Commander Liang said in this intelligence that when Mu Guogong was exiled to the northwest, he would be assassinated by many forces. Now that Mu Guogong's skills have been abolished, he is just an ordinary person. Mu Guogong's Mansion The whole family will probably not be able to make it to the northwest.”
