Shen Yan remembered what he had agreed with Lu Daxin before, so he did not tell Lu Wan about what they had secretly planned. After all, staying away from the truth is the real way to stay away from danger.
"Oh, by the way, I want to tell you something." Lu Wan waved at Chen Yan with a serious and mysterious look on his face, wanting her to come to him so that he could tell him about this matter.
"What's the matter?" Looking at Lu Wan's actions, Shen Yan couldn't help but become curious. What kind of thing was it?
When Lu Wan saw Shen Yan approaching, he looked around and made sure that there was no one around before speaking.
"Didn't He Wentian and I go shopping in the street market before? When we were shopping, we saw some people around us who looked like they were not from the Dongxia Han people, so we took a closer look. According to He Wentian, those people were Xiongnu people, or southern barbarians."
After hearing Lu Wan's words, Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't even care that Lu Wan was shopping with He Wentian.
Chen Yan looked at Lu Wan suspiciously, wondering if Lu Wan had already known about the delegation's arrival.
As expected, Lu Wan continued to say, "This morning, the Rouran Princess came to me and told me that she had received news that the Rouran Kingdom would soon send a delegation to us."
Lu Wan was completely defenseless against Chen Yan, and he told Chen Yan all the assumptions in his mind.
However, Lu Wan still didn't dare to tell Shen Yan that the Queen Mother might be planning a rebellion.
I just pretended to be very interested and asked, "What do you think they are here for? They are not really just here to pay homage, are they? If I were a vassal of another country, I would not rush over to please them before they even remind me."
Lu Wancai didn't believe that they really came here to worship and offer sacrifices.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it from him, Chen Yan revealed their plan in its entirety. Lu Wan had already guessed part of it anyway, so it was better to tell him the whole story. Otherwise, it would be even more dangerous for him to explore on his own.
"They may have come here to test us." Shen Yan simply explained the situation briefly, but Lu Wan's mind was still very quick, and he quickly figured out the cause and effect.
"You mean they also heard that after our little emperor ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable, the previous dynasty was turbulent, the foreign relatives were particularly serious, and coupled with this year's disaster, they were thinking of starting a war?"
This incident was simply unheard of in the history that Lu Wan had learned, so there must be a turning point in this matter, that is to say, they should have overcome this incident.
So Lu Wan was not that scared, he was just very surprised.
"So what are your plans now? They are about to enter Beijing, you must have a plan."
Lu Wan still believed in them very much and knew them very well. They would not fight an unprepared battle. Since they had already known about this matter in advance, how could they not be prepared at all?
"I can't hide it from you. We plan to temporarily arrange for the Song family to leave the capital, and then invite the Queen Mother to go to Mount Wutai to pray. In this way, all the Queen Mother's party members will be excluded from Jincheng and have no way to contact the foreign delegation. Except for them, everyone else is controllable. The news that we don't want the foreign delegation to know will certainly not reach their ears."
This was Shen Yan and Lu Daxin’s plan, but they hadn’t told the emperor yet, because the empress dowager was the emperor’s mother after all.
Although the young emperor did not want his in-laws to interfere in politics, he still had sympathy for his mother. They were afraid of the young emperor and would not be able to take action at the critical moment, so apart from sending the empress dowager away, they had not explained anything else to the emperor.
We must first let the Empress Dowager know that we are going to Mount Wutai, and then we can take action against the people of the Song family. Moreover, time is pressing, and the paper ball will be going to Beijing in less than five days. During this period, we must arrange everyone quietly, otherwise we will alert the enemy.
"What is my brother responsible for?" Lu Wan discovered that, at present, all the matters that Shen Yan mentioned were his own responsibility, and there was no part that his brother was responsible for.
But given their bad habits, they would definitely not let Lu Daxin stay at home peacefully.
"Oh, your brother has contacted the Ministry of Rites. From now on, when the foreign delegation arrives in Beijing, he will accompany them throughout the trip."
In fact, to put it bluntly, Lu Dashin was responsible for arranging accommodation, food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the diplomatic envoys, including every banquet after they arrived in Beijing and the storage of gifts presented by each country.
Hearing this, Lu Wan's eyes lit up. Doesn't this mean that everything related to the gifts was done by his brother? In that case, can he also get some benefit from it?
Moreover, the first banquet after they entered the palace was also organized by their brother, so she should be able to know the list of all the programs in advance, right?
Lu Wan became even more excited when he thought of this, as he had indeed never seen what an ancient banquet looked like.
Seeing Lu Wan's eyes begin to light up, Shen Yan sighed and said, "If you are so interested, then go and help your brother."
Lu Wan had been waiting for him to say this, so he agreed immediately.
"Okay, okay! It's great that I can help you." Lu Wan was so excited that he stood up and hugged Chen Yan's neck.
After Lu Wan calmed down, he realized that the current situation was a bit awkward.
