Chapter 332 Princess Nanyang and the Crown Prince
Lu Chenyang suddenly remembered something. Yan Xing had said that Emperor Qianyuan doted on the Fourth Prince because he believed he was the son most like him and least like him. He was most like him because he always had a clear goal in mind and knew what he wanted. He was least like him because he received many favors that Emperor Qianyuan did not have.
But at this moment, Lu Chenyang felt that the person most like Emperor Qianyuan was the Crown Prince. With his selfishness and his ability to weigh the pros and cons, the Crown Prince was indeed an ambitious man, but his selfish desires always outweighed his responsibilities.
Just like Emperor Qianyuan, he was a shrewd and capable emperor most of the time, but once his selfish desires conflicted with his own, he would abandon his responsibilities as an emperor.
The world cannot be handed over to the prince.
No one knew that it was on this quiet afternoon that Lu Chenyang made up his mind to overthrow the dynasty.
Everyone in the Lu family believed that Lu Chenyang had ambitions to become emperor, as every action of his revealed this. He maintained a strong military presence, treated the people well, and cultivated his reputation; every action revealed his ambition.
But in reality, Lu Chenyang had never truly made up his mind. He was only doing this to prevent any problems before they occurred. He could choose not to be the emperor. If the prince was suitable, he would be willing to serve as a minister and assist him.
But if the prince does not have this ability, then he must also have the ability to overthrow him.
Now Lu Chenyang finally made a decision.
Then he would have to change his future plans.
One day, Weidong arrived at Yanhui Pass.
When Zhao Xi heard the news, her eyes lit up. She treated the wounded and hurried to see Wei Dong.
Wei Dong was in Lu Chenyang's tent. He brought people with him this time.
Lu Chenyang personally stood up to greet them, "Princess, Prince, you must have come a long way and must have worked hard."
The people who came were the Queen and the Crown Prince of Nanyang King.
After all these years of travel, Princess Nanyang's face showed some signs of age and fatigue, but her graceful demeanor could not be concealed. The Crown Prince of Nanyang was now seventeen years old, somewhere between adolescence and youth. He had a delicate appearance and looked more like the Princess. His face was a bit reserved and cautious, a bit cautious.
After the Nanyang King's defeat, they'd been living among the common people, hiding for years. Of course, that was because Zhang Qian hadn't bothered to look for them. What was she looking for them for? To come back and seize power from her? Later, Lu Chenyang saw a use for them and ordered Zhang Qian to search for them with all her might.
As soon as Lu Chenyang gave the order, the person was found within a few days, brought back to the Nanyang Palace, and raised there.
This time they were sent to Lu Chenyang, and both mother and son were a little nervous.
The Prince of Nanyang said respectfully, "It's not hard. If you need my help, my Lord, please let us know. We will do our best."
The young master is very aware of the current situation.
That will be easy.
In fact, Lu Chenyang was overthinking it. With Lu Chenyang's current power, especially after he recaptured Yanhui Pass, his power was at its peak. Who would dare to act presumptuously in front of him? It was no exaggeration to say that he was now the king of the whole Dagan area. Even Emperor Qianyuan couldn't stand up to him.
There are not many people in this world who can stand up to Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang said gently, "Your Highness, you are too kind. The main reason I asked you to come here this time is because of Prince Nanyang. Although the prince made mistakes, he has now expressed repentance and is old. It is really not appropriate for him to continue to lead the army. Your Highness has always been filial. I think he cannot bear to let his father work so hard, so I asked you to come here to share the prince's worries and solve his problems."
The Prince of Nanyang looked at Lu Chenyang with a complicated expression. "Sir, you're right. Those who can become powerful officials are thick-skinned and shameless." He blushed at these words, but Lu Chenyang remained calm.
Lu Chenyang was still looking at him, so he had to answer. He said with a stiff upper lip, "...Your Excellency is right. As a son, it is my duty to share my father's worries."
Lu Chenyang felt at that time that this child had a promising future.
Lu Chenyang took a fancy to the troops in the hands of King Nanyang. It would be a waste to let them stay there, so it would be better to let them be in his hands so that they can be put to good use.
Lu Chenyang planned to let the Prince of Nanyang take over the power of the King of Nanyang.
Lu Chenyang called Ji Ping and Tan Feng over and said, "Tomorrow you will gather your troops and take 100,000 men to escort the Crown Prince to meet the Prince of Nanyang. They have been separated for a long time and I believe they miss each other very much. It is time for them to be reunited. The Prince of Nanyang is in poor health and is deeply concerned about him. Let him unload his burden as soon as possible and recuperate well. This will fulfill the Crown Prince's filial piety."
Ji Ping subconsciously asked, "Would King Nanyang be willing?"
Tan Feng looked at him as if he were a fool: "You fool, if he doesn't want to do it, don't we have it? Can't we persuade him?"
Do you really think that the 100,000 troops they brought were to escort the prince? They were all there to persuade the King of Nanyang.
Lu Chenyang curled his lips and said, "General Tan, that's a good idea."
Ji Ping also bowed to Tan Feng to show his admiration.
Ji Ping and Tan Feng took the order and left. Ji Ping glanced at Tan Feng and said, "Have you been a little too clever lately? You make us look like fools."
Tan Feng touched his buttocks quietly, and said quietly: "I have to be smart, I have to make up for my crime." He still owed fifty military sticks for talking too much last time.
Ji Ping's gaze fell behind him: "But you are smart, so be it. I am not the stupidest one anyway."
When Tan Feng turned around, he saw Wei Dong, who came to escort the Princess of Nanyang and the Prince, laughing like a fool in front of Zhao Xi.
