Lu Fang, in Lu Xian’s room.
After counting, everyone was excited until they suddenly realized a problem.
"Uh, grandpa, do you still remember how to practice that formation?" Lu Yun asked Huangfu Zhao nervously.
"Uh, I used such a complicated thing once, where can I remember it?" Huangfu Zhao spread his hands.
"Then where can I find this array map?" Lu Xian asked.
"Before my elder brother died, he put it all in the treasure house." Huangfu Zhao said as he looked at Lu Yun and said, "By the way, didn't the little demon go in and take out the Nine-Secret Staff?"
"That's not guaranteed that she can see the formation map." Lu Yun frowned and said, "I have to count on my father to take the opportunity to build the imperial tomb and open the treasure house to look for it."
"It's safe." Lu Xian nodded. Anyway, he wasn't going to kill Zhang Xuanyi tomorrow, so he didn't have to hurry at this moment.
"Yeah." Huangfu Zhao also came and introduced it as a treasure, "There are also the God-Destroying Crossbows from the East Qi, the Zhuge Crossbows from the Western Shu, the fierce trains from the Western Wei Dynasty, and the thunder from the Southern Dynasty... They can equip tens of thousands of people!"
"It's just a matter of making a plan." Lu Yun nodded, feeling very good.
.
Ziwei Palace, Changle Palace.
"Ah hahahaha..."
After hearing Zuo Yanqing's report, Chu Shi Emperor burst into laughter without any image.
"The old man has now thrown his face to grandma's house. The master who has been obeying the plan for twenty years is actually the prince of Dongqi!"
"Yes." Zuo Yanqing sneered in his heart, but agreed with him: "Your Majesty's magic tricks not only cut off one of Xiahou Ba's arm, but also caused chaos in the Xiahou family and had no time to take care of him. If the next step should be carried out, please ask Your Majesty to tell him."
"Of course we acted according to the plan!" The Emperor of the First Emperor was full of fighting spirit, swept away the depressed spirit of many years, quickly walked to the imperial case, and handed a long-written decree to Du Hui sneeredly:
"Send it to Xiahoufang to warm up Otsukaya's wounded heart."
.
The gate of Xiahoufang will naturally not be closed for too long and will be opened again the next day.
The Otsuka Zaifu resumed his daily office again, but anyone could feel that the atmosphere here was very strange. The Xiahou clan members who were originally arrogant have now become cautious one by one, and their voices have been lowered. I don’t know what difficulties they have encountered.
In the signing room, Xiahou Ba lost his energy from the previous few days. He handed over most of his official duties to Xiahou Bupo to deal with outside, while he sat in the inner room and whispered with Xiahou Li to discuss what to do next.
"Brother, this time Luodu alone arrested more than 300 suspects including Xiahou Lei." Xiahou Li reported softly: "There is also the Anxi Army in the local area, should we also sif it is time to sifter it? "
"Um..." Xiahou Ba's brows frowned into the word "Rice", biting his lips without saying a word. If he was based on his temper, he would definitely have killed him wrongly and not let him go. But just as Xiahou Bubo tried to persuade him, the scope of the impact would be too wide, which would make the Xiahou clan separate from one another!
At this critical moment, he really didn't dare to take this risk. But if he didn't care, who would know how many spies there were lurking in the valor?
It's really a dilemma, it's really hard to decide!
Xiahou Ba felt a split headache and rubbed his temple without saying a word.
At this moment, Xiahou Bupo came in and reported: "Otatsu, Eunuch Du is here."
"Oh, what are he doing? Are you laughing at me?" Xiahou Ba knew that this was impossible, but he muttered angrily, and then cheered up and brought Du Hui in.
.
In the signing room, after reading the handwriting of the Emperor Chu and the memorial he had submitted several months ago. Xiahou Ba pondered for a moment, held the memorial, and looked at Du Hui with his eyes flashing, "This book is to make the second prince the crown prince. Your Majesty has not been posted for a few months, but now it is suddenly correct. What does this mean?"
"First of all, this is agreed on the oath monument. Your Majesty is just fulfilling the contract. Second," Du Hui lowered his voice and bowed his waist and said, "Your Majesty is very worried that the Otsukazu would suspect Zhu Xiuyi's affairs, he is making trouble."
"Isn't it?" Xiahou Ba glanced at Du Hui without comment.
"Of course not. This time it was just a recurrence of Gao Guangning's last incident!" Du Hui had already made a honest statement, and the same words were much more credible from him. "Your Majesty has handed over everything to the Otsukakura, just to protect the ancestral temple. Why do you have such troubles?"
"Hmph, I'm sorry he doesn't dare!" Xiahou Ba snorted coldly. It was not that he had doubted whether the Chu Shi Emperor was making trouble. But this idea was quickly denied. As soon as Xiahou Ba also felt that the Chu Shi Emperor had lost all his capital, and doing so would only anger himself and speed up his demise.
Secondly, it was the sequelae of Zhu Xiuyi's affairs. At that time, Zhu Xiuyi said with certainty that the First Emperor would definitely not give up, but it was proven to be a spy who was ill-intentioned in a blink of an eye. Xiahou Ba would no longer believe what he said, and naturally he also included his statement about the First Emperor.
Since Xiahou Ba decided that this matter had nothing to do with Emperor Chu, he naturally believed Du Hui's words. He put down the memorial and pointed at the Taoist handwriting and said, "What's going on? Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, what imperial tomb is in a hurry?"
"I'll ask the Otsutoku Priest to Tongrong, Your Majesty has just this wish." Du Hui said with a sad face: "He said that if he didn't watch his tomb repair, he couldn't sleep at night."
"Oh..." Xiahou Ba sighed. He knew that this was the condition that the initial emperor agreed to become a crown prince.
In the eyes of this era, death is another form of life. Therefore, from princes and ministers to ordinary people, they attach great importance to their cemeteries and coffins, and burials behind them... Since it is the so-called "death is like life", this is what we mean.
If you don’t believe it, look at the tombs of the Han Dynasty dug by Emperor Wu of Wei. Which one is not filled with gold, silver and jewelry, and is rich enough to rival a country?
Therefore, it is completely understandable that Emperor Chu started to arrange his own affairs after his death without hope in front of him.
Moreover, according to the regulations, the Minister of Rites must also serve as the Shanling Envoy, which can just kick Lu Xin to the Mangshan Mountains, so that he will not be obsessed with him in Luodu.
The only problem is that it costs a lot of money to build the imperial tomb. It is impossible to deal with it if there are not a few hundred chunks of coins. Xiahou Ba now regards himself as the master of Daxuan. Of course, he has to calculate whether the court can take out the money and will it affect the expenses in the second half of the year after it is taken out?
Seeing Xiahou Ba silence, Du Huifang whispered:
"Your Majesty means that if the Otsukazumasa agrees, in the future, the crown prince can be ordered to kneel down to His Majesty and the Otsukazumasa at the same time..."
