The empire? If it weren't for keeping Lu Qingyan by his side, would he need to go through all this scheming to exchange for something that was originally useless?
"I wonder how you got Bai Li to agree to help you, Prime Minister?" Lu Qingyan was really curious about what Jun Jiuxian had done to Bai Li. Was it a honey trap?
If that's the case, she'll definitely find a chance to teach that person a lesson.
Jun Jiuxian saw through Lu Qingyan's thoughts at a glance. He sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Do I need to use tricks on her? I just said that our marriage was over, and Bai Li cried and agreed to everything."
The woman, who had already been drugged by Jun Jiuxian, was deeply in love with him. She would believe whatever he said and do whatever he said.
Jun Jiuxian's face grew even more sarcastic as he said this: "Zongzheng Shen will eat anything she gives him. I had her mix it with a pastry, and he definitely ate it. But if it doesn't work, don't blame me for not doing my job well."
"Don't worry." Lu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Zongzheng Shen had indeed swallowed the Gu worm. Zongzheng Shen's martial arts skills were a problem, though. Now that this concern was half gone, she couldn't hide the ease in her expression: "As long as Zongzheng Shen has swallowed it, you can prepare the troops. I'll discuss it with my elder brother, and have him and my father unite the officials. Once we control the capital and leak some information to the princes, they'll naturally become restless."
Once the forces of the princes are brought out, it will inevitably lead to Zongzheng Shen. After all, if the younger ones are beaten, the elders will have to come out. Even if Zongzheng Shen doesn't care about these sons, he still cares about his reputation.
If Jun Jiuxian can control a portion of the army outside of the Lu family, then taking over the palace will not be difficult.
Lu Qingyan believed that Jun Jiuxian, who had already led troops once, had some prestige among the soldiers. Some people are born leaders, and no matter how they don't appear in public, they will have countless people supporting them.
She had the small drum prepared by the Lu family long ago and sent it in. On the day Zongzheng Shen's power was gone, she would take the small drum and have people block the Gan'an Hall and keep banging it, to make that scumbag Zongzheng Shen suffer. Just thinking about this scene made her feel very happy.
She wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud!
Lu Qingyan then offered her own bargaining chip: "I have the Lu family to rely on. My brother has been in the Ministry of Personnel for many years and has considerable influence and prestige in the court. My father also has military power. With such mutual support, how can we not succeed?"
At this point, Lu Qingyan paused: "You should know very well what Zongzheng Shen relied on to steal your wife. If you seize his empire, why worry about not being able to win Bai Li back?"
Jun Jiuxian smiled inexplicably: "Yan Yan, you don't need to tell me these things. If what you say is true, your brother has connections and your father has military power. Now, with these two complementing each other, you lack nothing. Why doesn't your Lu family take advantage of such a good opportunity instead of giving this huge benefit to me?"
"Because you are my man!" Lu Qingyan thought to herself, looking at Jun Jiuxian with some difficulty. "My father has always been a loyal minister. He is only doing this to protect his family. He will not sit on the throne, nor will he agree to my brother sitting on the throne. Looking at all the court officials, only Prime Minister Jun has the ability and courage. Naturally, I want to cooperate with Prime Minister Jun."
"Oh, really?" Jun Jiuxian replied indifferently, then sneered, "I thought you wanted me to bear the blame for plotting to usurp the throne, so as to preserve the reputation of your Lu family."
