Chapter 538 Decisiveness and Indecision

When He Zhi and the other four sons found out about He Wenqiong’s decision, none of them were very favorable.

“Father, there’s a saying that one doesn’t do anything without the other!” He Zhi persuaded, “Originally, the Wei and Su families were at loggerheads because of the dispute over the throne! Because of the assassination of the Crown Prince, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two families are in deep enmity! In this case, we either choose a side, or withdraw! I’m afraid this is a compromise that will not please either side!”

“What big brother said is very true!” He Qian also advised, “Now that the forbidden army is in father’s hands, to put it bluntly, father can decide who will be the new ruler with a single word! Since this is the case, why should we still bide our time and miss out on a good opportunity?”

Although He Xin and He Yi didn’t say anything, between their looks, it was obvious that they were also in favor of He Zhi and He Qian.

“If you ask for riches and honor, you guys have a good point, now Wei Su has become a tugofwar, my He family fell to either side, can decide the victory in one fell swoop, for the new king’s merit!” But He Wenqiong flicked his beard for a moment, but sighed, “But you have forgotten one thing: Whether it is the Crown Prince or King Suh, and my He family have no blood, and no other deep ties even if the King Suh’s sibling sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing, is the fiancée of Qian’s son, but the royal family has always been thinly veiled, the golden branch of the jade leaf They are arrogant and domineering and have never met with Qian’er, so it’s hard to think that they can still give up our entire He family for the sake of Qian’er?”

“Therefore, my He family now dominates the establishment of the new ruler with the forbidden army in their hands.”

“When the new ruler takes his seat after coming to power in his day, he will look back on it, in case there is something unpleasant in his heart …”

“Then how will my He family be able to live with itself?”

He Zhi and the others were stunned at his words.

After a moment, He Xin subconsciously said, “Neither the Crown Prince nor King Su should be such a petty person, right?”

The Crown Prince and King Su are both still young, and when they come to power, the ones who will really be in charge will be the Wei and Su families, which have been prominent for several dynasties, and naturally their patterns won’t be too small, so they shouldn’t be willing to kill off an important minister for such a ridiculous reason, right?

“Do you think that after the new ruler ascends to the throne, the Wei family or the Su family will be relieved that the He family will continue to be in charge of the forbidden army?” He Wenqiong asked, “Of course, I’m not that uninterested, I’ll ask for my resignation and hand over the military power the problem is, the current forbidden army has been handed over to me since the time of the previous emperor, and it’s really my direct line!”

“By merely surrendering the military power in name, do you think I will not be able to command them?!”

“So even with my full cooperation, the new commander of the Forbidden Army, wanting to have the Forbidden Army completely in his hands, will not be a oneday endeavor!”

“Then if I use my military power to directly install the new ruler, will the new ruler, as well as the new ruler’s foreign family, worry about me changing my mind in the meantime?”

“The greater the wind, the greater the danger!”

He Wenqiong finally concluded, “Only let King Su enter the imperial capital, not to get involved in their uncle and nephew’s new king’s fight, although in the aftermath will not get too much benefit, but also will not be too scrupulous after all, for the superior, a killing decisive decisive act of the courtiers, of course, used smoothly, the defense of the But for the superior, a decisive and resolute subject is certainly easy to use, but also very worrying to guard against! But an indecisive and fearful subject, even if the ability is lacking, the threat is much lower!”

He sighed heavily, “And the latter, the way to last!”

He Zhi and the other four looked at each other for a moment, and could only bow, “Follow Father’s orders!”

… When Su Shaoge received this tumbling news, Su Bofeng was also at his heels and frowned slightly at the words, “He Wenqiong refuses to make a clear statement? So his words may not be trustworthy!”

What if He Wenqiong lured King Su to the imperial capital and then flipped and poisoned him?

It’s useless to write a guarantee for this kind of thing, because He Wenqiong can completely say afterward that he was trying to help the Crown Prince or help the Wei family, so he made a false pretense with the Su family side.

And as long as he could bring King Su’s head to the Wei family, would the Wei family mind that he had written a letter of defection to the Su family?

Therefore, according to Su Bofeng’s view, He Wenqiong must publicly state his support for King Su, and then secretly send a few of his sons as hostages, in order to allow King Su to enter the imperial capital after all, if King Su has a short or long life, even if the Su family can follow the example of the Wei family at this time to support other people to ascend to the throne, but, without the ties of blood, it is destined to be impossible to continue peacefully with the new king between them. It is impossible for them and the new king to remain at peace!

Usurping the foundation of Da Rui, none of them had the ability to do so now.

So when the new king is old and strong, we will have to do a battle, and even if the Su family wins, we will definitely have to establish a new king again.

In this way the grudge between them and the royal family would naturally become deeper and deeper, after all, no sane person likes to put their fate in the hands of others and let them dominate their joys and sorrows. Not to mention the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, Su Bofeng was worried that He Wenqiong was fraudulent.

“He Wenqiong actually took this into consideration.” But Su Shaoge shook his head and said, “That’s why he said that he would ‘inadvertently’ allow King Su to enter the imperial capital! As for how and when King Su actually entered the imperial capital, he didn’t ask about any of it, nor did he want to.”

There was a pause, “So we can have someone pretend to be King Su to enter within the Imperial Capital in batches.”

And He Wenqiong does not know which group of people Su Wang is in, if he has bad intentions, he will certainly not be able to sit back and watch; if he does intend to let the water out of the water, he will naturally stand by and watch.

Such a test will show Ho Man Kiong’s sincerity.

Su Bo Feng murmured, “In this … case, King Su does have the possibility to enter the city smoothly. However, in the end, King Su is the late emperor personally passed out, this name to be resolved is a trouble!”

Originally, if He Wenqiong firmly stood on the side of King Su, the forbidden army in hand, coupled with the accumulation of the Su family over the years in the former dynasty and the harem, since it is good to say.

But now He Wenqiong is only willing to help until he allows King Su to enter the imperial capital then the choice of the new ruler will inevitably have to be decided in the courtroom!

“Could it be that Feng’er is afraid?” Su Shaoge heard this and asked with a lost smile, “The one who has the upper hand now is us!”

Su family nephews and uncles laughing and smiling, Yan Marquis House, Song Yixiao is angry with the face of the iron blue the ground broken porcelain has just been cleaned up, tea stains have not yet dried up, see how much fire she just sent.

Yun aunt frowned after entering the door, after taking the pulse, the face of disapproval is heavier, “I told Grandma earlier, you are now pregnant in the body is not unusual, those who worry about things just call the others to do it, really can not be pushed to the marquis how to get yourself to the point of great anger! Why are you still getting yourself all worked up?”

Song Yixiao is also worried about the child, heard a reluctant smile, explained, “I unite so a brother of the same mother, and now the age is still small, heard that he went wrong, a time did not press … the child how? It is important?”

No wonder she was so angry Lu Guanyun had been summoned by the palace!

The reason is naturally because he is He Lou Duhan’s personal disciple, these days, master and disciple are like father and son, do the master assassinated the crown prince, Lu Guanyun as a disciple which can not be dragged into the water?

There was nothing even King Hengshan could do about this situation; although he was quite a member of the clan and not without power in the court, it was only natural that Lu Guanyun would be implicated this time around with the empress and empress both close to hysteria, he could only hand over his youngest son.

Lu Guanyun was first taken away yesterday, and King Hengshan had intended to accompany his son to the palace.

After all, although Lu Guanyun was born honorable and started to accompany his father to the palace to ask for peace a few years earlier, but in the end, he was still young, so letting him meet the emperor alone, the King of Hengshan did not feel at ease, not to mention accepting the interrogation.

However, although father and son arrived at the front of Xuanming Palace along with the chamberlain who delivered the decree, King Hengshan was not able to accompany his son inside in the end.

Well, after a long time Lu Guanyun came out alone, although there is some fearful color, but Hengshan King carefully interrogated down, found that Empress Wei also did not make things difficult for him, just asked the common questions.

So after pacifying his son, King Hengshan was relieved.

But this morning, Empress Wei issued another decree to interrogate Lu Guanyun.

Hengshan Wang heard the news although some surprise, but still accompanied his son into the palace this time is still not allowed to father and son a piece to see the driving.

And King Hengshan realized that the wait this time was much longer than yesterday, so long that halfway through he almost couldn’t help but want to ask the chamberlain in front of the palace gate to help him inquire about the situation in the palace!

It was only because of the previous day’s experience that King Hengshan reassured himself that perhaps the Empress was crossexamining him repeatedly to confirm the truth?

After all, Empress Wei was also aware that she, Lu Guanyun’s own father, was right outside the door, so it was always impossible to do something out of the ordinary, right?

However, after a long time, the ominous premonition in his heart was realized: Lu Guanyun was carried out by the chamberlain.

At this time, King Hengshan still thought that his son had been tortured who would have expected that after examining him in shock and anger, he found his son intact, even his clothes were neat and tidy, and he did not look like he had been touched at all!

And the chamberlain who sent him out only said vaguely, “Mr. Lu seems to be a bit overwhelmed by the majesty of the Empress.”

Hengshan Wang heard know that he must not refuse to tell the truth, because of the worry about his son, do not care to enter the temple and the emperor and queen theory, busy holding Lu Guanyun out of the palace back to the house, asked the doctor to diagnose.

The result of the diagnosis is scared Hengshan Wang good talk, before asking the reason from his son’s mouth: the Queen of Wei is indeed in the way of the Hengshan royal family face, did not torture Lu Guanyun, but led him to go through the back of the hall to go to the Imperial Prison to see He Lou Duhan!

To be precise, it was Herou Dokhan after the torture.

Empress Wei hoped to use this method to shock Lu Guanyun so that she could extract usable information.

Just Lu Guanyun has always been in the elders and elder sister’s deliberate maintenance, living in the sunshine, even the shady tactics are not very aware of, where to see that bloody scene, especially that has been tortured to see the human form, or his teaching master?

So on the spot was so scared that he lost his voice and cried, his legs and feet were weak and then was carried all the way back to the palace from the Imperial Prison, Empress Wei meaningfully consoled a few words, see he still can not come back to his senses, but also lazy, and directly sent the chamberlain to send him back to the King of Hengshan!

King Hengshan was furious when he learned of this, but he couldn’t say anything about Empress Wei, after all, Empress Wei only summoned the disciple of the murderer of the Crown Prince again, and let the master and disciple meet each other by the way, in addition, she didn’t do anything, did she?

So after thinking about it left and right, King Hengshan sent someone over to tell Song Yixiao about it.

Although the visitor did not say it outright, but the meaning of the words, Hengshan King is a little bit complained Song Yixiao, after all, in the beginning to set up Lu Guanyun to be He Lou Dokhan disciple, is not it Song Yixiao?

Song Yixiao is worried about his brother; secondly, he feels aggrieved: not to mention that the matter of worshipping the master is Wei Mengying’s repeated request when he was alive, but this matter was never hidden from Hengshan Wang, Hengshan Wang had never objected before, and now he blames himself for the loss, which is also too unreasonable, right?

She was raised by Hengshan Wang, Hengshan Wang this meaning and did not explicitly say, she is not good to theories, the heart stifles anger, to send away the people, but not to be furious?

“I’ll prescribe a pair of tranquilizer pills, take them for two days and then take a look!” Hearing her nervous about the child at this moment, Yun Aunt frowned, pondered for a while, and said nonchalantly, “There should be no major obstacles, it’s mainly because the bottom is good. But please forgive me, Grandma: even a good foundation cannot withstand being tossed around again and again! If grandma is genuinely concerned about the little master’s body and bones in the future, I still hope that such things will not happen again!”

Song Yixiao nodded bitterly.

In her heart, however, a touch of loathing was born for Empress Wei: she suspected that the reason why the Empress would use He Lou Duhan to scare Lu Guanyun, the socalled condescension was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to relocate her anger to the Marquis of Yan, who had fallen to the Su family, because of the assassination of the Crown Prince!

And Lu Guanyun, who is both a disciple of He Lou Dokhan and a brotherinlaw of Marquis Yan, is not out of luck?

Only Song Yixiao didn’t know that she had really guessed wrong this time.
