In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jue, who transmigrated and became the son of the废太子 (cancelled crown prince) Li Chengqian, secretly returned to the longed-for Chang'an from Qianzho...
He had just used his Taoist internal energy, cultivated for many years, to purify Li Jue's spiritual platform, which had greatly depleted his energy and would be difficult to replenish in a few months.
Seeing that his master ignored him, Lu Zhaolin could only sit quietly on the bench in the clinic, sulking. However, after a short while, he saw the Hundred Cavalrymen move out and drive out the officials who were staying in the houses in Qunxianfang.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaolin sighed inwardly.
The eldest grandson is still young, and he has finally come to this point!
In fact, he had already considered many possibilities of this matter and decided that using force to drive them away was the worst possible option.
If the eldest grandson truly wanted to compete for that position, he shouldn't have treated these lower-ranking officials so roughly.
Doing so would completely offend the entire Tang Dynasty official system and would also inevitably disqualify one from the throne.
Just as he was thinking this, he realized that the Hundred Cavalry Division had only driven the officials out, without involving their families. At the same time, the officials who were driven out didn't seem to have been ridiculed much; they were simply gathered together.
"What's going on? Does the eldest grandson still have a way?"
Seeing this, Lu Zhaolin quickly followed them to an open space.
Because the houses in Qunxianfang involved more than 600 officials, even though the venue was very spacious, it still felt somewhat crowded when all 600 people gathered together.
As Lu Zhaolin squeezed into the crowd, he overheard whispers among them.
"What exactly does the eldest grandson want? Does he really intend to use the Hundred Cavalry to drive us away?"
"It doesn't look like it to me..."
"When the Hundred Cavalrymen came to my house just now, they were very polite. They only said that their eldest grandson had invited me for tea, and they didn't resort to violence..."
"Want some tea?"
"What's so great about a lousy tea?"
"No, I actually hope that the eldest grandson will fight us, preferably kill a few of them, and then we'll see how His Majesty deals with him!"
Listening to the words of those around him, and then looking at his eldest grandson who sat silently on the stage, Lu Zhaolin secretly felt a chill run down his spine.
Eldest grandson, oh eldest grandson, you must not make a mistake!
