"Win? What can you win with?" Lu Mingchuan asked back, making Chen Guanlou shut up. "I even hope that the prince will be wiser, capture him neatly and plead guilty, in order to save his life and end this chaos as soon as possible. Instead of both sides fighting to the death. Do you know how many people will die if the prince stubbornly resists? Not to mention anything else, all three thousand East Palace guards would have to be buried with him. In addition to the officials of the East Palace, some courtiers, and family members, even if this chaos can be calmed down in the shortest time, tens of thousands of people will die. Even tens of thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people, all of them are pillars of the imperial court, elites in the world, talents accumulated over many years, how cruel. Brother Chen, can you bear to see this scene? After such a chaos, not only destroying its fundamentals, but at least damaging its muscles and bones. If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, it would take decades to slowly lick the wounds, and sooner or later you would be able to recover. But right now, there are rebellious officials and traitors outside, and careerists inside are waiting for opportunities. I can no longer imagine that the world will become so cruel in the future. You look down on me and despise me for living an ignoble existence. But I will never regret it. I want to preserve my useful life and preserve talents for the court and the world. " What a righteous Mr. Lu, whose words are full of the power to confuse people. No wonder Zhao Mingqiao still follows firmly even though he has seen through everything. This is a combination of a hypocrite and a real villain. When to be a villain and when to be a gentleman, it all depends on need. "Sir, it seems that you have the ability to turn the tide?" Chen Guanlou asked seriously, without any intention of ridicule. These great scholars all have immeasurable power behind them. Maybe they really have the ability to make things right. Don’t underestimate the people of the world, especially the great Confucians who have been famous for a long time. "Even if I risk my life, I still have to stop His Majesty from going on a killing spree. I can only save one person. Therefore, I am just living quietly until the chaos outside subsides. I will never be left behind. By then, Brother Chen, you will understand me. A lot of hard work.”
Chen Guanlou:...... In an instant, he turned into a clown, extremely ugly inside, ignorant of good and evil, and ignorant of the demeanor of a great Confucian scholar. It's disgusting to judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart! He was depressed. Anyone who can make him depressed must not be a good person. After all, a person like him who has normal outlook on life, no big ambitions, no anti-social tendencies, and is easily satisfied would feel extremely uncomfortable. Lu Mingchuan is definitely a treacherous and evil person, which would cause him physical discomfort. . "Then why don't you go out and stop His Majesty now? The palace door is open, and you can enter the palace at any time to persuade His Majesty. Please order your Majesty to withdraw your troops and end this chaos as soon as possible." "Hey! Your Majesty is in extreme anger at the moment, and no one's persuasion will work. If I go at this time, not only will it not help, it will even be counterproductive, causing more deaths." "If you're afraid of death, just say it, why bother making so many excuses." Chen Guanlou complained. Lu Mingchuan's face was distorted. No one had ever dared to humiliate him like this. Even the old emperor and the Crown Prince were polite to him. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Brother Chen, you don't understand us scholars. I forgive you and won't argue with you. But please keep your words in mind." Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, "You said that the old emperor rebelled against the deposed prince. Do you have any evidence? What if His Highness the prince rebelled against the throne..." "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The only person who can mobilize the Artifact Battalion is Your Majesty. Listen to what's going on outside. The Artifact Battalion is wreaking havoc on the capital and harming big officials. Such cruel things are definitely not the work of the Crown Prince. If he were the prince, he would definitely find a way to restrain the officers and soldiers." Chen Guanlou agreed with this statement, and he also felt that the prince should not be able to mobilize the artifact camp. But he asked one more question, "May I ask, sir, is Your Majesty still in Tai Chi Palace?" "What do you mean?" Chen Guanlou pointed in the direction of the palace, "A grand master entered the palace and chaos broke out in the palace. To protect His Majesty's safety, do you think His Majesty is still in Tai Chi Palace? Or, is His Majesty really in the palace?" "I don't know, I don't know anything. Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I have not entered the palace, and I have never heard of His Majesty leaving the palace." "Is His Majesty going to go on a killing spree in the palace?" "Why not?" Lu Mingchuan said sternly, "It's just a few eunuchs and maids, and a few guards and concubines. Don't worry, the chaos in the palace will soon subside. With the master in charge, no one dares to mess around. ” "How many masters are there in the palace?"
"This is an internal secret, and no one except His Majesty knows it." "It stands to reason that with the Grand Master here, His Highness the Prince should not be able to resist. This chaos should be over. However, listening to the noise outside, the situation is getting worse and more chaotic. Sir, can you teach me?" Chen Guanlou Very sincerely asking for advice. Lu Mingchuan snorted coldly, "Once these officers and soldiers are released from the cage, they will not stop without a fight. However, I believe that there will definitely be movement in the palace after dawn. I believe that we will go out soon." "I hope so!" Chen Guanlou secretly cursed the old fox, but the other party didn't tell the truth and was not as candid as Zhao Mingqiao. The so-called sincerity is all pretend. There was an air of restlessness among the jailers, and everyone was worried. Only one day has passed, but it seems like a year has passed. The calmest person among them is Dr. Mu, who is also thinking about having a midnight snack. "I'm half full after dinner, and I feel hungry as soon as I lie down. Do you want something to eat?" Medical Officer Mu greeted Chen Guanlou warmly. In the empty cafeteria, the two sat down face to face. Doctor Mu cooked two bowls of noodles himself, one for each person. "Those cooks are so cunning that they locked up all the food. We only found a little flour, just enough for the two of us, one bowl for each person." "I ordered the cooks to count the supplies and supply them according to the number of people." Chen Guanlou said. "Do you think the chaos will last for a long time?" "I don't know, I'm not sure. We must always prepare for the worst. If it happens, at least we can still eat." Medical Officer Mu nodded and agreed with his opinion, "Did Mr. Lu tell the truth?" "His mouth is like a clam, talking about this and that, but not a word of truth. On the surface, he stands on the side of the prince and is anxious and worried about the prince. But I always feel that he hopes the prince will fall in his heart, or even hope that the prince will die." "No way." Medical Officer Mu was obviously surprised, "Lu Mingchuan is a great scholar. He has publicly supported the prince and supported the prince's orthodox identity. If he goes back on his words, will he still have a good reputation?" "So I said this person is hypocritical and full of bad water." "Maybe you think too bad of people." "I'm not exaggerating. I have never misjudged a person so far. I feel that this is a game against the prince, a vicious game. This game started when the tutor was kidnapped."
