Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 68 Lu Guangjing’s temptation
  In just half a day.

Two major events came out from Dayan Palace, which shocked the entire Imperial Capital.

The first was that the Holy Emperor was ill, and all military and state affairs and government affairs were handed over to the cabinet headed by Yuan Xuangang, the chief auxiliary emperor.

The emperor's master, Yuan Xuangang, was the most important minister in the dynasty. He had held the position of chief assistant for more than thirty years and had not changed. No one disputed this.

After admonishing the Taisi officials, Qi Xingyan concurrently served as the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, resumed his position as the head of the Shengjing Academy, and returned to the center of the empire, which aroused the cheers of the scholars in Dayan.

The second thing was that Queen Guo, who had been the mother of the world for more than fifty years, abdicated, and the eldest prince Lu Changfeng was exiled to the west and never returned to the capital.

The Holy One is sick.

The queen abdicates.

These news are undoubtedly shocking, arousing the suspicion of many forces.

Is it a recurrence of an old injury, or is it some hidden danger left behind after the Eastern Expedition?
  Is the First Prince’s party completely over?

For a time, an undercurrent surged, and the Imperial City became active again.

It is a pity that the candidate for the crown prince position has not been announced yet.

on the street.

A woman in a green gown and a woman in white wearing a bamboo hat and holding a sword hurriedly walked through the street.

Arriving at the entrance of Leichi Taoist Temple, the Taoist mansion was very luxurious. Going up the stone stairs, there were three stone statues of the Taoist ancestors, and there was constant incense.

They came to the hall, and a gray-robed Taoist priest with a long beard saw them dressing up. He couldn't help but take a second look and stretched out his hand.

The woman in white put out a small bag of fist-sized heavy copper coins and handed it to the other party.

The gray-robed Taoist priest opened the bag and counted sixty red-gold divine coppers, every penny was more. Then he asked:
  "Which line of incense do you want?"

"Sixth Prince, Lu Mingyuan."

After saying that, the gray-robed Taoist priest returned a small clay figure to her, and the woman in white came to a large incense sacrificial hall. It was full of small figures, some made of clay, some made of silver, and some made of gold.

Some villains are broken, like broken porcelain jars, some are still dull even if they are intact, and some villains exude spiritual essence, lifelike, invisible, as if there is smoke flowing around them.

The woman in green shirt saw that she placed the clay figurine she finally bought in front of an empty plaque, and sighed:

"Sect Master, do you really want to choose like this?"

The woman in white asked, "Do we still have any choice? Why not take a gamble? The worst is that the whole sect will suffer a loss of fortune for ten years, but it is worse than that it will decline and disappear in thirty years."

"Emperor Dayan will not last long. In a few years, the result will be revealed soon. If we don't get on this carriage, we will have to sit back and watch the curtain end, but we will get nothing."

Jin Palace.

After Lu Guangjing heard the news reported by his subordinates, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Father is sick? God is really helping me."

"Next, you can let go!"

At this time, there were quite a few people in the room, including a sword cultivator holding two swords, a masked woman in black armor, and an old man with a one-eyed dragon and a face full of pus. These people were all the backbone elites of the Infernal Affairs Party.

Seventh Realm Poison Master Su Qin was the first to step forward and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Xun said, come one by one, first deal with the three princes, and then completely eliminate the eldest prince's lineage."

"Why bother? Just solve it all at once and do it on multiple fronts."

"My father is seriously ill. How can those Wu princes under the third son hold it back? They have an army of 300,000, a total of 300,000! If it were me, I would not be able to bear the garrison and not return. I would declare myself the king immediately and sit back and watch the capital. Variables, and as long as he dares to do this, he will not only lose the throne completely, but also lose his bravery."

"As for my eldest brother, he is just a useless dog. He has lost Queen Guo. It doesn't matter. All he needs to do is defeat the last line of defense in his heart."

Lu Guangjing clenched his fists and said, he looked at Gongyang Hu and said:
  "First test the fourth and sixth to see if there are any flaws in these two people."

Gongyang Hu nodded lightly: "It's easy for the sixth prince to say that there are so many people in the palace, it's a mixed bag. The fourth prince, Lu Guangren, is obsessed with alchemy all day long and can't leave the palace. There are not many servants in Prince Zhuang's palace, so it's not easy to sneak in." , the only thing worth noting is that there are only a few maids. The subordinates sent people to eavesdrop, and some servants in Prince Zhuang’s palace talked about it. They heard that the fourth prince seems to be using palace blood to make elixirs, which is like harvesting yin and replenishing yang. "

Lu Guangjing's eyes lit up: "Isn't it possible to seize such a good opportunity?"

"We must investigate clearly and sneak into the palace to find out what the fourth child is doing in the palace every day."

"As for the sixth child, Lu Mingyuan. Her imperial concubine mother was not an economical person. The man she sent to tell fortunes and deceive his horoscopes was almost caught by her, but she had some tricks. Otherwise, Lu Mingyuan should have been the first to die. Not Lu Mingkong."

Lu Guangjing thought about it and suddenly discovered a lot of clues.

"In addition, he also has a grandpa, the prime minister, who is also an old fox who has been hanging around in the court for more than 20 years. It's quite difficult to handle."

Gongyang Hu continued to add: "In addition, I heard that this kid had a good relationship with Qi Muxue in the palace. He went to Princess Zhao's mansion every day. Some people said that the two were getting together. I don't know if it is true or not."

Hearing this, Lu Guangjing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Unknowingly, this guy has gained so many benefits invisibly."

"But this Princess Zhao can actually make a fuss."

Gong Yanghu's eyes moved, and he seemed to have thought of something: "Your Highness means" Lu Guangjing showed an extremely dangerous smile: "She was the last straw that broke Lu Changfeng's back."

"In addition, the surveillance of other princes will be strengthened. Every move must be reported to me."

"Yes."

Qingzhu Palace at this time.

Lu Mingyuan was still in the palace, listening to the teachings of his mother Wang Zhaoyan.

"The situation in Dayan is like this now. You also know the news, so you have to be careful. I think this capital is not peaceful recently."

Wang Zhaoyan took his hand and warned him.

Lu Mingyuan smiled slightly: "I understand, mother, I'm fine. With you here, who can trick the child?"

When Wang Zhaoyan heard this, although she was secretly happy, she still preached seriously: "Stop flattering your mother."

"Speaking of the marriage we talked about last time, Mom really has no choice. She wants to have a relationship, but I can't see Qi Daru, so why don't I find another one? I think the champion has a good attitude. Daughter of the Huo family, please think about it. ? After all, she is the daughter of the seven princes, right?"

Lu Mingyuan shook his head quickly: "Forget it, the daughter of a warrior is too barbaric, and my son is afraid."

"Are you sure?"

Wang Zhaoyan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Mom, I heard that you ran to Princess Zhao's palace in a few days. This matter has spread throughout the harem."

Lu Mingyuan said seriously: "Mom, you don't understand. The princess and I were discussing life events and making tea."

"Do I believe you? Don't think it's okay to read a few books in the cold palace and then start fooling my mother. My mother has read more books than you!"

Wang Zhaoyan looked unbelieving.

But he quickly winked and said, "Mom, I still can't help but praise you, good job!"

"That guy from the Queen has always made things difficult for my mother, whether she bullied her daughter-in-law or not. Now that she has taken the initiative to abdicate, she deserves it. It must be the intention of the Holy One."

When Lu Mingyuan heard this, he couldn't help asking:
  "When the queen's position becomes vacant, will it fall on you?"

Wang Zhaoyan clapped his hand and said with her lips: "Don't think blindly! Mom is not curious about it. Do you think this seat is so easy to sit on?"

"At that time, it will be a nuisance in the palace, so it is better not to do it."

"My mother is still smart."

Lu Mingyuan chuckled.

"That's it for today. Mom is going back first."

"I'll give it to my mother."

Lu Mingyuan sent him outside the cold palace, and that was the end.

When he returned, he saw an old eunuch slowly walking into the palace with a team of new eunuchs.

It was an ordinary scene at first, but in the eyes of "Knowing People", it was a different scene.

There were two new eunuchs with furtive eyes looking everywhere as if they were memorizing the terrain.

After seeing himself looking around, he quickly lowered his head.

The team passed quickly, but Lu Mingyuan frowned.

He glanced around and happened to see Zhou Pingfu, the commander of the Forbidden Army escorting him behind.

So, he waved to him.

"Hey! Isn't this Commander Zhou?"

Seeing this, Zhou Pingfu quickly saluted: "I have met Your Highness."

"Where did this team of people come from?" Lu Mingyuan asked.

Zhou Pingfu glanced at them, cupped his hands and said, "Oh, the one who just entered the palace today to be castrated as a eunuch, what's wrong?"

"There are two people. I looked at the way they walked. They looked a bit like fake eunuchs. I need to pay attention to whether they are not clean."

"Otherwise, if such a person is allowed into the harem, my father will go crazy."

When Zhou Pingfu heard this, he glanced at the two people's backs, nodded and said:

"I understand, Your Highness."
