Chapter 570 Letter from the Unlucky Son (Updated 2)

The little prince smiled, "Don't worry, father will definitely not guess like that. Didn't I say that I have already written a letter to father? Although father doesn't like me, he is not a tyrant."

"You guys have a good rest, and leave the rest to me!"

The little prince rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big job.

At this time, on the case was the prince's pigeon letter.

Lu Chengtian had read it twice, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth.

God knows how he has been spending the past three days.

Ever since the unlucky son encountered the first assassination attempt on the way to Shandong and he narrowly escaped, he has lost any news of this unlucky son.

Lu Chengtian had released his secret guard leader before, but he had no idea that in an assassination attempt, his secret guard leader was seriously injured and could no longer track the prince.

In the next three days and three nights, Lu Chengtian could hardly sleep all night. He encountered an assassination on the road, but unfortunately the guards around his sons were all ordinary, and his secret guards were actually distributed to other brothers! !

When Lu Chengtian thought of this, he felt that these sons were really raised in vain. They were so old and married, but they couldn’t even guarantee their own safety! They even made their younger brother worry!

Lu Chengtian was so angry in his heart, but all this anger was not as good as the worry that the prince had disappeared and his life or death was unknown.

His legitimate son was assassinated on his first assignment. If something happens to the crown prince, Daliang will surely fall into civil strife in the next ten years!

The battle for the throne has always been full of blood and killing.

The princes are gradually growing up, and, as of now, they have gradually demonstrated their talents, and each of them has their own ministers following them.

In fact, a year ago, the competition for the crown prince's position had already shown signs, and the various forces began to fight each other vaguely. In the court, there were more and more struggles for power.

The officials in the court no longer looked at right or wrong when doing things, but only at their stance.

But later, for some reason, starting from the eldest prince, all the way to the fifth prince, they became so quiet. Not only did they take the initiative to stay away from the court officials, but they also focused on hanging out with their unlucky sons.

As the unlucky son became more and more arrogant, acted more and more unpredictably, and became more and more difficult to control, the relationship between the other adult princes and the crown prince became closer and better.

The hidden turmoil, uneasiness, and obvious party struggles in the court came to an abrupt end, and the hidden divisions in the court suddenly subsided.

Such a result was beyond Lu Chengtian's expectations, but it greatly reduced the difficulty for him.

Only a stable court could allow Lu Chengtian to devote his energy to rectifying the administration of officials.

He had just replaced those parasites in the court who had been eating and drinking for free, and pushed the officials from poor families who he had secretly supported over the years to the position. The unlucky son also killed indiscriminately in the Jiangnan region, offending all these powerful families.

The Jiangnan region has always been prosperous, and many aristocratic families have taken root here since ancient times.

The money, wealth, and connections of the aristocratic families can allow their descendants to have a good environment and education from birth, and they can also follow the teacher to study since childhood.

These people naturally have more advantages in the imperial examinations than those from poor families.

The vast majority of officials in the court are from aristocratic families. When the interests of the people and the interests of the aristocratic families conflict, they will naturally seek benefits for their respective families.

Now this group of officials from poor families have replaced so many important official positions, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the aristocratic families.

In addition, during this disaster relief, the Jiangnan aristocratic families were hit hard by the prince again. The four major aristocratic families directly shook their foundations. Now they are desperate and directly confront the prince.

They really grasped the root of the matter. As long as something happens to the crown prince, the crown prince's position will be vacant, and the competition among the princes will surely start again. At that time, the situation in the court will surely change again.

As long as the ministers in the court are caught up in party struggles, Daliang will begin a serious internal consumption.

This group of people is simply audacious and lawless!

Lu Chengtian really did not sleep for three days and was very worried.

Then, he received a pigeon letter from the unlucky son.

The good news is that the unlucky son escaped the assassination, not only alive, but also alive and kicking to lead troops to rescue the second and third sons.

The bad news is that the unlucky son is getting more and more arrogant. Looking at what the unlucky son said in his letter, it translates to this:

Father, is this assassination part of your plan? Are you using me as bait?

As bait, how big of a fish will you catch this time?

Lu Chengtian wanted to scold him. Even if he wanted to fish, he would prepare a perfect strategy. How could he fish without any preparation? What's the difference between this and committing suicide?

Is he stupid?

Lu Chengtian continued to read.

However, father is too stingy. Next time you let me be bait, can you send more people with strong martial arts skills to protect me?

This time, the number of people sent by your father is too few, and some of them are too useless.

Therefore, in order to save my life, I can only save myself and take the Licheng Army away. This should not be too much, right?

Lu Chengtian's expression eased a little. With so many soldiers, there should be no problem with safety. It's a pity that his son is smart enough.

That's right, his smile didn't last long, and it froze at the corners of his mouth.

Father, you are not a good emperor. Someone dared to stab your legitimate son. It can be seen that you are not majestic as an emperor!

You still need to work harder, work hard, and establish yourself. Otherwise, I, your only legitimate son, will not even dare to leave the gate of the capital in the future.

In addition, father, there are people in the capital who are restless. They have colluded with the locals and know the people around your son clearly. Your father is the king. Can you not even find such a small character?

No way? No way?

The last two sentences were simply naked sarcasm and provocation.

Lu Chengtian laughed out of anger. The secret guards really made him very dissatisfied. Similarly, he would also find out the black hand that was stirring up the situation in the capital.

Lu Chengtian didn't know at this time that in addition to his unlucky son, the second and third sons were also assassinated. Oh no, it should be a group killing.

He carefully placed the letter in a wooden box, then turned around and went to the Wenhua Hall. His son had said so. If he couldn't find the rat that stirred up the storm, wouldn't he be laughed at by his son for the rest of his life?

Lu Chengtian thought that the disaster relief was coming to an end, and the assassination was over. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes was found and severely punished, the matter would be over.

What followed was the struggle between him, the emperor, and the aristocratic family.

How could he know that a naughty child is a naughty child? How could he be so quiet when he was alone outside?
