Chapter 162 Let’s Talk by Candlelight
The main issue was Lu Chenyang's attitude. As everyone knows, no explanation was tacit agreement. Among the possibilities of Lu Chenyang not being interested in women, being a "broken sleeve" was a very reasonable explanation.
So no one dared to mention sending a woman to Lu Chenyang again.
So he changed his decision to send a handsome boy to Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang: “…”
He only blamed himself for being too charming and having many people wanting him.
Of course Lu Chenyang couldn't accept it. Not only him, but also Gao Ming and others around him would not allow it.
Lu Chenyang is now the governor with the best reputation in the entire Dagan. Even if he really likes men, he cannot indulge in male beauty, so the best way is to reject them all.
Lu Chenyang was deeply moved.
Lu Chenyang was drinking tea when he saw Yan Xing walk in and look at him with complicated eyes.
Lu Chenyang was stunned. Yan Xing had been looking at him like this lately, which made her confused.
Lu Chenyang asked: "Cheng Xiao? Why are you here? What's going on?"
Yan Xing's gaze fell on his handsome little face, with gentle and bright eyes, and his heart trembled.
"I heard that you like men?" Yan Xing asked in a low voice.
Lu Chenyang laughed and said indifferently: "Isn't it a little late for you to ask?" Seeing Yan Xing's strange look, Lu Chenyang wanted to play a prank on him. He nodded openly: "Yes, I like men."
Lu Chenyang had originally just wanted to tease Yan Xing. He understood Yan Xing's mentality. Knowing that his good friend was different, he wanted to ask, but was afraid of hurting his pride. Yet, he still wanted to know the answer.
Then just admit it and see how he reacts.
Yan Xing's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Chenyang with a bit of wildness, as if he was looking at prey.
All the hairs on Lu Chenyang's body stood up as he sensed a sense of danger.
He felt that he had played a joke too far.
Lu Chenyang is a man who corrects his mistakes as soon as he realizes them. He immediately said, "I'm joking. I'm not, I don't." He licked his lips and said, "I'm mainly doing this to tarnish my reputation. My reputation is so good now, and now I've taken over Ningzhou and Quzhou. A tall tree attracts the wind, and I'm so perfect, so I have to have some flaws, right? And it just so happens that a lot of people want to give me women, so I spread this news."
Yan Xing didn't know whether he believed what he said, but his eyes were still on his face.
Yan Xing said softly: "So, you are not a homosexual?"
Lu Chenyang shook his head decisively: "No!"
Lu Chenyang now suspects that Yan Xing is gay, otherwise why are his eyes sparkling when he looks at him?
Yan Xing raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Well, okay."
Seeing that he seemed to believe it, Lu Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard Yan Xing continue: "Let's have dinner together tonight. I have something to talk to you about."
Lu Chenyang subconsciously wanted to refuse. It was not because he felt good about himself, but because he felt as if everyone was coveting his beauty.
Yan Xing’s look just now really scared him.
Lu Chenyang subconsciously wanted to refuse: "No..."
Yan Xing said, "It's about the Second Prince."
Lu Chenyang's expression froze, and he nodded in agreement.
Quzhou has a dock and a river, so the aquatic products are very developed and the fish are very delicious. The chef prepared a table full of fresh fish.
Especially the hand-made fish balls, which were delicious and chewy, Lu Chenyang liked them very much.
Both of them enjoyed the meal very much, and since there was no rule of not talking while eating, they started chatting about the second prince.
"The Fourth Prince and Yuan Kuishan have been fighting the Tatars in Huai'an for more than half a year. Yanhui Pass has not been retaken yet. In addition, there are chaotic armies everywhere now. I think the emperor should keep his eyes on you." Yan Xing looked at Lu Chenyang and said solemnly.
Lu Chenyang frowned slightly, and he sighed softly, saying innocently, "You blame me for being too capable?"
Yan Xing nodded solemnly, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
Yan Xing said, "Our Majesty is most proud of his balancing act. He supports one and fights against the other, and he reaps the benefits. You have the best reputation right now, a reputation of loyalty and patriotism, so you have to obey the court's orders. Yuan Kuishan and the Fourth Prince are unable to break the deadlock, and you have successively captured Ningzhou and Quzhou. I think he will use you to wear down the Tatar army in the next two days. If you can win, that's the best. If you can't, it doesn't matter. Once you and the Tatars are depleted, he can send the Yanhui Army to pick up the slack."
It was a very simple method, but very useful. After all, he was the emperor, so Lu Chenyang couldn't refuse.
Yan Xing knew Emperor Qianyuan very well, so Lu Chenyang did not doubt his speculation.
He stroked his chin and said, "It seems that the situation is not favorable for me."
Yan Xing smiled and said, "So, how does Lord Lu plan to break the impasse?" He stretched out his voice, raising his tone slightly, not worried about him at all.
Lu Chenyang curled his lips and said, "The Emperor is old, and the Danggan Dynasty is in turmoil. It's time for the Emperor to appoint a crown prince."
Yan Xing was suddenly startled and looked at him in surprise.
When Concubine Lan used her niece to plot against the Second Prince, the Second Prince fought back forcefully for the first time. At the time, some ministers had suggested that the Emperor appoint a Crown Prince sooner rather than later.
This was the second prince's counterattack, because according to the ancestral family rules, the second prince, the eldest son, should inherit the throne, and he should be the rightful heir!
However, everyone knew about the scandal between the Second Prince, the Emperor, and Concubine Lan. So the Second Prince had someone submit this letter to express his dissatisfaction.
The matter was eventually suppressed by Emperor Qianyuan, who said, "He is in good health, so what if he doesn't appoint a crown prince? Any son who is anxious is unfilial."
But in fact, this is because the second prince has no backing and no confidence, so Emperor Qianyuan can ignore him.
What if the person who requested the emperor to appoint a crown prince was Lu Chenyang?
Could Emperor Qianyuan still turn a blind eye?
Lu Chenyang's identity, the top scholar of the Six Yuans, represents all the scholars in the world, and it's not an exaggeration at all! Secondly, he is the actual controller of Lingnan, Shu, Ningzhou, and Quzhou, and holds a large number of troops.
As the governor of the four continents, he is now fully confident in raising an army to rebel!
