"That's interesting."
"The first thing the new emperor did upon ascending the throne was to make his favorite concubine, who had come from nowhere, a noble concubine."
Lu Anan just thought it was interesting.
Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes.
"What do you think, Ah Shen?"
Chu Jinshen's face was still a little pale.
"Chu Shengan's first wife is not easy to deal with, but she has allowed her family to dominate until now."
Although he didn't finish his words, Lu Anan understood.
"It seems that Concubine Bai is the person we are looking for."
He nodded slightly.
"Interesting, this Concubine Bai wants to cooperate with Chu Shengan."
"But does Chu Shengan know about the Hongcheng incident?"
Lu Anan spoke softly, and Chu Jinshen, who was sitting next to her, shook his head.
"Chu Shengan is not stupid."
On the contrary, he is very smart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting in this position now.
only. . .
"Why would he cooperate with the so-called White Concubine?"
Lu Anan didn't quite understand why Chu Jinshen had no interest in the throne.
The legitimate son of the empress dowager is far inferior to Chu Shengan.
No matter how you look at it, Chu Shengan will ascend the throne.
"He doesn't have to work with anyone."
Lu Anan thought thoughtfully: "Unless... there are enough chips."
She looked at Chu Jinshen: "A Shen, the only one he has always wanted to deal with is you."
If there was one person Chu Shengan was most worried about, it was Chu Jinshen.
He had the army in his hands, and although the old emperor had drafted the edict, he was reluctant to sign it.
Chu Shengan felt uneasy.
Besides, the old emperor passed away suddenly and the imperial seal disappeared.
So even if he has the imperial edict in his hand now, it is not legitimate.
Chu Jinshen wanted to use this to attack him, which was easy.
"Father... once asked me to make a choice."
Chu Jinshen raised his eyes and looked forward.
"He placed the imperial edict of succession and the tiger talisman of the Black Armored Soldier in front of me and asked me to choose."
As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"He said that as long as Yuezhou is treated as if it doesn't exist, then I can succeed to the throne."
Even at that time, the whole capital was filled with rumors.
Chu Jinshen is inhumane and cannot have children.
"So what if we don't have an heir? We can just choose one from the clan."
"An An, if those people knew about this, I could choose an heir from among them."
Chu Jinshen paused and said, "Tell me... Is it just around the corner for me to become the great king?"
Lu Anan nodded.
Indeed, as long as Chu Jinshen tells this matter.
I don’t know how much blood and gore this will bring.
Those clans are not fools.
As long as Chu Jinshen takes that position, then... their child will have the hope of becoming the next crown prince.
This is a good thing.
I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing even in my dreams.
"He knew he didn't have much time left, so I still have the imperial edict he wrote asking me to make a choice."
Lu Anan was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor actually left the edict to Chu Jinshen.
"The imperial edict was stamped with the imperial seal and...his handwriting."
The decree of succession was extraordinary.
Although Lu Anan has the imperial seal, he can seal as many as he wants.
But the old emperor's handwriting is not easy to imitate.
In addition, generally speaking, the decree of succession is just in case.
He would also look for extremely loyal ministers and tell them where the imperial edict was.
So that the next emperor can ascend the throne.
"What does Ah Shen mean?"
"I'm afraid he left this to me as atonement."
The old emperor was deeply in love with Yue Hongye.
Since Yue Hongye left, the entire bedroom has been closed.
The palace that originally belonged to the queen is no longer open to the public.
Even the queen consort had to choose a new palace.
This incident also led to impeachment by the censors.
But the old emperor insisted on his own way.
But the palace is not completely closed.
At least until he grew up, Chu Jinshen still lived there.
"He sent the Queen Mother to the cold palace, saying he had his reasons."
Chu Jinshen chuckled, but Lu Anan understood the meaning behind it.
There is no hardship at all.
He was just afraid that Yue Hongye would put on his armor again and lead the Yuezhou army to attack the capital.
He loves the red leaves, but he is also afraid of them.
So she was locked in the cold palace for three whole years and never left.
Until Yue Hongye sacrificed blood for the Yue family and the 30,000 Yuezhou troops.
He just stumbled out.
When Lu Anan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Even if he's dead, my mother wouldn't even bother to look at him."
Besides, there are still 30,000 Yuezhou troops below.
"It's really interesting to kill the donkey after it has done its job."
The Yue family single-handedly supported the old emperor in ascending the throne.
Isn’t it because they thought that the old emperor was at least a wise ruler?
Indeed, under his governance, the people of Heng lived and worked in peace and contentment.
But above the imperial power, there are piles of bones underneath.
Lu Anan made a few sarcastic remarks.
"He wants me to take the throne."
Chu Jinshen said this, but Lu Anan snorted.
"I don't want this throne even if it's given to me for free."
Others don’t know, but Lu Anan knows.
Hengguo had a difficult time every year that followed.
It started as a heavy snow, but later we realized it was the beginning of a famine.
If Chu Jinshen became the emperor, he naturally wouldn't have the heart to do that.
Lu Anan doesn't have that many great ideas.
She just wanted to lead Chu Jinshen and the others to live a good life in the coming chaotic world.
The carriage moved slowly.
It was only noon and we were about to arrive at Hongcheng.
"After arriving in Hongcheng, I'm going to settle accounts with Xu Hesheng."
Xu Hesheng tricked them.
He almost left them in Hongcheng.
Lu Anan is not finished with this matter yet.
Because of the incident with Lord Lanzhou, he was not punished at that time.
But now it's different.
Since we want to take Lanzhou and Yuezhou away together.
Of course Xu Hesheng couldn't be let go.
If we need to deal with it, of course we should deal with it as soon as possible.
The carriage gradually slowed down and Li Si approached it.
"Master, Madam, we have arrived at Hongcheng."
Hongcheng was under martial law, and General Weiyuan led the garrison troops to surround the entire Hongcheng.
Even if there are no living people in this city.
The original plan was to burn the city directly.
But I didn't expect to hear it from the living people in Hongcheng.
Those bandits had entered the city to search for things before.
Now I guess he has returned to the mountains.
General Weiyuan just felt a headache.
Since these people are infected with the disease.
Then... there must be something wrong with those bandits.
He originally wanted to ask Xu Hesheng.
But Xu Hesheng knew nothing about it.
He just said that he left the night before.
Lord Zhu wanted to protect him, and General Weiyuan couldn't get anything out of him, so he had to give up.
The only one who's still sane here.
There is only Commander Liu of the Lanzhou garrison.
He discovered that after Lord Zhu came, he took over Hongcheng directly.
Even letters were not allowed to be sent out.
Something didn't seem right.
Especially from the Lord of Lanzhou, there has been no news so far.
Commander Liu was feeling uneasy, but General Weiyuan and Lord Zhu were keeping a close eye on him.
He planned to send a letter to the Lord of Lanzhou at night.
