Chapter 532 Extra Chapter: Nothingness Left (20)
Upon hearing Lu Heng's question, the people below the hall looked at each other, none of them saying anything.
It wasn't until an elderly man sitting below Lu Heng spoke up tremblingly, "No matter what Princess Chaoyang's intentions are, our Lu family will never give in!"
After the old man spoke, the others also began to express their opinions.
"That's right! A woman like Princess Chaoyang is always pushing her luck."
If we satisfy her this time, who knows how much the Lu family will have to give her next time before she's satisfied.
"That's right! Our Lu family has existed for even longer than the current royal family."
What haven't we seen? The emperor who wished for our deaths back then is long gone, buried somewhere unknown!
This time, it's the same!
"The Emperor is becoming increasingly absurd, actually allowing women from the harem to interfere in state affairs. This is a sign of the country's downfall!"
...
Hearing the diverse opinions below, yet surprisingly unified in their views, Lu Heng became solemn and slapped the table.
"Alright! If that's the case, then we should start preparing as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing Lu Heng's words, a hint of excitement ignited in the eyes of all the Lu family members.
Although Lu Heng didn't continue speaking, they all understood what they were about to do...
Lu Heng dismissed most of the people, leaving only his core confidants.
Among them were the Lu Peiran brothers.
After three hours of continuous discussion, they finally came up with a relatively rigorous plan for the uprising.
After the meeting, these people hurriedly went out to take care of their business.
After Lu Jinran walked out of the council hall, Lu Peiran asked, "Father, what do you mean by this?"
You don't intend to support Prince Lu? He's currently one of the most powerful princes.
Lu Heng stood up and spread out a map in front of them.
"You know he's just one of them!"
Currently, there are three kings and nobles who are the most powerful.
In the marriage alliance between the Prince of Zhennan and the Emperor, he lost most of his initial advantage.
Now, besides the King of Lu, there is only the King of Qi.
Lu Peiran looked at the part of the fiefdom belonging to the King of Qi on the map, "The King of Qi?"
Wasn't the King of Qi always in poor health? He…
Lu Heng waved his hand, "Remember, you can only believe half of what's said about wealthy and powerful families."
As for the King of Qi, being of royal lineage, he believed more than half of what was said, so he could only listen to it as a formality.
King Qi has been frail since childhood, but look how many years have passed and he's still alive!
Those brothers who were in better health than him this year have long since gone to meet the King of Hell.
Although the fiefdom of the King of Qi was much smaller than that of the King of Lu, it was peaceful and tranquil, with few disasters occurring.
From another perspective, doesn't this demonstrate King Qi's effective governance?
Listening to his father's analysis, Lu Peiran nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, Father sees things more clearly!"
Lu Heng shook his head, "You all have to learn from this too!"
No matter how powerful I am, how many years can I live? How long can I protect you?
You were willful and reckless before, daring to offend the Emperor and Princess Chaoyang in front of so many court officials.
If it weren't for my sake, do you think they would have let you off the hook?
Even if you've become a monk, there have been plenty of people trying to find out your whereabouts and deal with you over the years.
