Li Banfeng asked: "Who wants to invite you to Chaoge?"

Luo Lijun replied: "Three royal families, one of the powerful ministers in the cabinet, Zhu Jin, Qiao Yi and Xie Gong."

Li Banfeng was very helpless: "There are obviously three people, but you have to tell one of them."

Luo Lijun said: "As I said just now, they are from the Dashang royal family, three of them growing up on the same body."

Li Banfeng asked: "Why did they ask you to go back to Neizhou?"

Luo Lijun took out a letter and handed it to Li Banfeng: "Of these three people, Qiao Yi is in charge. This is a letter written by him to me."

Li Banfeng read the letter, which was written in pure classical Chinese and the content was very obscure. With the help of Xiao Yeci, Li Banfeng understood the general meaning.

What Qiao Yi means is that he believes that Juanzi is an orphan of a saint, and calls Juanzi the crown prince. He hopes to invite Luo Lijun to Chaoge to discuss the matter of supporting the crown prince to succeed him to the throne.

After reading the letter, Luo Lijun sent another invitation. The invitation said: His Highness Li Qijun, Crown Prince of Pupu.

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and asked Luo Lijun: "What does Pu Pujun mean?"

Luo Lijun explained: "In Dashang, there are two factions: Zhuzhan and Zhuhe. Each of the two factions has branches. Qiao Yi and I belong to two similar branches under the Zhuhe faction. We both think that you have become Puozhou

The crown prince."

Li Banfeng asked: "Why do you think so? Is there any basis for it?

"What you did in Puozhou has often gone beyond the scope of your own interests, so we suspect that you have a special relationship with the salesman, and you are likely to become the next controller of Puozhou."

Li Banfeng shook his head repeatedly and said, "What you are doing is wrong."

Luo Lijun nodded: "In terms of etiquette, Qiao Yi directly called you the prince in the invitation, which may cause misunderstandings between you and the salesman."

"There's a big misunderstanding here!" Li Banfeng was very angry, "I am the salesman's senior brother, not his son. What does it mean to call me Crown Prince?"

"Senior brother?" Luo Lijun couldn't keep up with Li Banfeng's thoughts.

Li Banfeng said again: "This invitation is obviously for me, why is the letter inviting you to go?"

Luo Lijun explained: "Because this is a public banquet, Qiao Yi wants to invite you to Chaoge for the banquet as a cabinet minister.

This is not a private meeting."

Li Banfeng understood what Luo Lijun meant: "This is a legal cover for a secret meeting."

Luo Lijun nodded and said: "And I am a prisoner in Chaoge. Logically speaking, I should not appear at this legal banquet, so my name cannot be on the invitation. Matters related to the saint's orphan can only be mentioned in the secret letter.

Bring it up."

Li Banfeng put the invitation aside: "In other words, Qiao Yi not only has the idea of ​​​​supporting a new king to succeed him, he also wants to gain the support of Puozhou."

Luo Lijun nodded again: "This is the consistent strategy of our peace faction. Taking this incident as an example, if you want to support the crown prince, Qiao Yi will definitely need the help of Puozhou. After the crown prince takes office, he will treat Qiao Yi, me, and

You are beneficial to the entire Puzhou, which is the mutual benefit and win-win that the Lord Peace Party has always wanted to achieve."

Li Banfeng read Qiao Yi's letter several times. The other party's wording was impeccable and he could not get any more information from it.

He asked Luo Lijun directly: "Is this person reliable?"

"It should be reliable——." Luo Lijun answered somewhat vaguely.

Luo Yanjun shook his head and said: "We dare not draw conclusions easily. In Chaoge, the thoughts of high-ranking people are difficult to fathom. Three years ago,

Qiao Yi was once a war faction, but later, for unknown reasons, he became a peace faction.

There are a lot of things going on here, and I can’t figure out the reason, and I can’t explain the reason. Qiao Yi may have invited you to this banquet sincerely, or he may have other agendas.”

It was rare for Luo Yanjun to speak so directly. Luo Shaojun nodded and said: "I'm worried that this is a trap. They invite you to enter the urn first, and then catch the turtle in the urn!"

Snap!

Luo Lijun slapped Luo Shaojun: "Who do you think is a turtle?"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any precedent for this?"

Luo Shaojun immediately shook his head: "The royal family of the Great Shang Dynasty has never had a banquet with people from Puozhou. Some officials have hosted foreigners before, but they were not from Puozhou."

Li Banfeng didn't quite understand: "Why do you want to entertain foreigners?"

Luo Lijun didn't want to answer because she was afraid of angering Li Banfeng.

Luo Shaojun didn't think too much and told the truth directly: "Because some people want to open up other channels to other states, but these channels are controlled by foreigners, so they all want to ease relations with the foreigners."

Li Banfeng thought of Cui Tike's words. When he went to Neizhou, he received very good treatment.

The foreign races mentioned by Luo Lijun should include the Neamikan people, as well as people with certain strength in other similar areas.

Li Banfeng asked again: "What happens after the relaxation?"

Luo Shaojun said: "After the easing, there will be a way to go. The foreigners will find a way for them to leave Dashang, and even allow them to go to other states. But this is not feasible in Puozhou, and the merchants will not allow it."

People from Neizhou come to Prozhou."

Li Banfeng organized his thoughts and the current situation became clearer.

Dashang and Puozhou are incompatible with each other. Qiao Yi, a member of the royal family, invites Li Banfeng to a banquet at Dashang.

Qiao Yi's purpose and approach are both reasonable, but given this situation, should Li Banfeng go?

Luo Lijun said: "If I don't go, even if Qiao Yi's line is broken, there will be no supporters of the new king in the royal family, and we may not be able to go on in the future."

She told the importance of this banquet, and also explained a problem. Luo Lijun really wanted to attend the banquet.

Luo Yujun nodded and said: "Yes, if you don't give Mr. Qiao face, how can the royal family recognize the prince we found?"

Luo Xiujun also thought it was time to go, and the two sisters were helping Luo Lijun speak.

Luo Yanjun remained silent. There were some things that she knew in her heart, but she couldn't say them with her mouth.

Luo Shaojun hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "What if Qiao Yi really goes and falls out with us? He is in a high position, and if he wants to do something evil, we won't be able to come back."

Li Banfeng thought about it again and again and decided to go there.

Luo Lijun was very happy, but she was also a little worried: "Master Li, when you go to Neizhou this time, you must not inquire about Mr. Train."

Li Banfeng lowered his face and said, "Why can't you inquire?"

Luo Lijun said: "Because you are not familiar with Neizhou yet, if you go to Neizhou for the first time to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. Train, you will put us in danger."

Li Banfeng compared the two things: "Isn't it dangerous to go to Chaoge with you to discuss establishing a new king?"

Luo Lijun pursed her lips and said, "This is also dangerous—"

"Isn't it more dangerous to find out about Mr. Train than to establish a new king?

Luo Lijun was thinking about how to explain, when Luo Shaojun directly told the truth:

"Seventh brother, Dashang has invested a lot of money in Mr. Train. If you try to find out about him, Chaoge will definitely not let you back."

"Big capital?" Li Banfeng asked Luo Shaojun, "How much capital is it?"

Luo Shaojun said: "Let me tell you this, if the train father-in-law were replaced by a salesman, there might not be such a big battle."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Lijun grabbed the slap and wanted to hit Shaojun. Li Banfeng glanced at Luo Lijun, but Luo Lijun didn't dare to make a move.

Li Banfeng then asked: "Is it because the train man is better at fighting than the salesman?"

Luo Shaojun shook his head and said: "That's not the case, it's because——"

She looked at Luo Lijun, who looked so ferocious that Shaojun was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything further.

Li Banfeng looked at Luo Lijun: "You go to the wall and squat down."

Luo Lijun lowered her head and squatted by the wall.

Luo Shaojun whispered: "Because Mr. Train's train can bring all the good weapons from Dashang."

Li Banfeng's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow.

Because Mr. Train’s train is right next to him.

Going to Chaoge is inherently a very risky thing. If the train is lost, it may bring disaster to both Puzhou and other states.

"I have to think about this matter carefully." Li Banfeng stood up and left.

Luo Lijun squatted in the corner, holding her forehead and said, "What should we do now? He refused to go to something he had clearly agreed to do, and it's all your fault for talking too much!"

Luo Shaojun pursed his lips and said: "We should have explained the matter clearly to Seventh Brother. We can't deceive Seventh Brother. Otherwise, when we get to Chaoge, Seventh Brother insists on asking about the whereabouts of the train father-in-law. Do you think we can persuade him?"

Can you live with him?"

Luo Yanjun nodded and said, "Sister, Shaojun is right. When we get to Chaoge and trouble breaks out, we really won't be able to come back."

Luo Lijun sighed and said: "Yes, that's right. Without Mr. Li, none of us would be alive today. I want our Luo family to turn over, but if we can't turn over, we can't blame others. We can only say that this is how fate is.

Luo Yujun got into the snail shell: "Since I'm not going, I'll go and tell the messenger."

"What did you say to him? Is it your lover who sent the letter? Why are you anxious?" Luo Lijun gave Luo Yujun a stick, "Let him wait first.

Wait until Li Qi replies!"

"Friend, I borrowed it."
