Lu Haosheng looked grim, knelt down on the ground, and said solemnly: "Prince, I dare not say that."

"But that's what you mean." King Qi suddenly stood up and said sternly: "Lu Haosheng, Lu Haosheng, I didn't expect you to be a traitor without a father or a king."

Lu Haosheng raised his head, stared at the King of Qi, and said, "Prince, you can execute a humble position at any time, but this is the dilemma you face. The humble position is dull and can't think of a deeper meaning."

King Qi trembled all over and stared at Lu Haosheng who was kneeling in front of him. After a while, his body swayed slightly, and he sat down dejectedly, unable to say: "Get up."

Lu Haosheng stood up, and the King of Qi said, "Don't say anything like this in the future."

"I will only say this time," Lu Haosheng said: "It's just that I'm talking about these things, it's in vain. The prince has already been trapped in the sky. Even if he wants to go out, it's already a huge problem."

"Where do you want me to leave Beijing?" King Qi looked at Lu Haosheng, "Where can I help me if I don't have my main force in Beijing?"

"northwest!"

"Northwest?" King Qi's body shook and frowned, "Are you talking about Chu Huan?"

"That's right." Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "That is the only place where the prince can go, and it is also the prince's last hope, but it is impossible to determine how much help he can get."

"What do you mean?"

"The only help from the prince in the northwest is Chu Huan." Lu Haosheng said seriously: "As long as Zhu Lingyue and Xiao Huanzhang, no matter which team is on the way, the prince cannot command it."

"They want to rebel?" King Qi changed color slightly.

Lu Haosheng said lightly: "The three northwest roads, including Chu Huan, are considered to be self-respecting. The court is powerless to look west. Zhu Lingyue is ambitious. When the emperor promoted Chu Huan to the northwest, it was originally intended to restrain Zhu Lingyue."

"Zhu Lingyue wants to rebel?"

"If there was a governor rebellion, Zhu Lingyue might be the first one." Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "I am thinking that if it weren't for Chu Huan, the northwest now might be Zhu Lingyue's world."

The King of Qi clenched his fists, "Since this person intends to rebel, don't the court know?"

"Zhu Lingyue's city is very deep, and it is not visible and there is no leakage." Lu Haosheng said: "He has been in Tianshan for many years. If Xiliang had not advanced eastward, even if he had great ambitions, he would never have a chance with the strength of Tianshan. However, Xiliang advanced eastward, Zhu Lingyue led his army to fight and seized the opportunity for himself. At that time, the court had not seen through his ambitions. He was the only governor on the front line in the northwest. The court naturally valued it. He once handed over the power of the northwest to his hands. Even if Yu Buqu went to the northwest later, Zhu Lingyue's power was still not weak."

King Qi frowned even tighter.

"Yu Buqun and I will not dare to act rashly. At that time, the only one who could suppress Zhu Lingyue was Yu Buqun." Lu Haosheng said softly: "But Yu Buqun died in the northwest. The sword on Zhu Lingyue's head disappeared. He was naturally lawless. The prince didn't know anything. Just then, Zhu Lingyue's memorials appeared in the Secretariat almost every day. Every memorial was almost always asking for merit for his subordinates. The official positions in the northwest were almost always invited by Zhu Lingyue." After pausing, he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty knew that when the mission was sent to Xiliang and returned to Beijing, he passed by Jiazhou. Xue Huaian, the Minister of Rites, had seen him before Yu Buqun died."

"You mean?"

"Xue Huaian brought back a letter from Yu Buqu." Lu Haosheng said softly: "That letter was sent by Yu Buqu and sent to the emperor. Not many people know the content of the letter until today."

"The chief of the clan knows?"

"Don't forget, Prince Xu is recommended by Mr. Xu. Before that, Bei Zhi and Mr. Xu talked about everything. Bei Zhi has always admired Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu also trusted Bei Zhi very much, so some things that others don't know, but Bei Zhi knows." Lu Haosheng said softly: "Before Yu Buqu died, he submitted a shocking incident to the emperor, revealing a letter to the emperor."

"What a shocking thing?" King Qi couldn't help leaning forward and said curiously: "What's the matter?"

"The truth about Yu Buqu’s murder."

"What?" King Qi's body was shocked, "I heard that Yu Buqu was sick and was tired from the front line, so he died of fatigue. Is there something else in it?"

Lu Haosheng nodded and said, "Yes, everyone in the world thinks that Yu Buqu died of illness. Yu Buqu was real, but dying due to illness was fake. According to the situation at that time, if Yu Buqu could return to Beijing to take care of his condition in time, he would not have any worries about his life. Even if he stayed in the northwest and stabilized the situation in the northwest, it would be no problem to live for at least three or five years."

"After the Xiliang people withdraw their troops, he did not return to Beijing."

"At that time, the court did not know Zhu Lingyue's ambition. Although Yu Buqu was not sure, he was already wary of some precautions." Lu Haosheng said: "He was also worried that after leaving the northwest, there would be greater chaos in the northwest, so he forced himself to stay in the northwest. Even if his body could not be treated, he could not care... I have to say that Yu Buqu is a loyal minister!" After a pause, he said slowly: "Yu Buqu should be very clear. Before the Tianmendao Rebellion and the Qingtian King Rebellion were quelled, the consequences would be unimaginable. The court did not have the ability to deal with three rebels at the same time. Therefore, he knew that unless the rebellions in the southeast and Hebei were put down, he could not leave the northwest. Only after the rebels in the southeast and Hebei were wiped out could he leave the northwest. At that time, Zhu Lingyue naturally did not dare to do anything."

"Then how did Yu Buqu die?"

"It's poisoned." Lu Haosheng looked cold, "Yu Buqu is from the south and is not suitable for the climate in the northwest. He has always been in poor health. The imperial doctor sent to the capital to help with the conditioning. Zhu Lingyue also found a doctor from the northwest to treat him. Although Yu Buqu was wary of Zhu Lingyue, he did not expect that Zhu Lingyue had already developed the intention to kill him!"

"What?" King Qi changed his color in a terrifying manner, "You mean, was Yu Buqu killed by Zhu Lingyue?"

"The letter that Xue Huaian brought back was written by Yu Buqu. At that time, Yu Buqu was already controlled by Zhu Lingyue. Zhu Lingyue's condition was not enough to contact Yu Buqu. Yu Buqu found that when he was poisoned, the poison had already invaded the whole body. He knew that Zhu Lingyue's eyes and ears were around him, and he did not dare to tell the people around him about this, so as not to be killed. That letter had never had the chance to send it out." Lu Haosheng sighed lightly: "At that time, Yu Buqu was extremely weak and his life was not long. He was already desperate, but the mission to the Western Liang happened to come back. After passing through Jiazhou, Xue Huaian and Chu Huan naturally wanted to see Yu Buqu. Yu Buqu found the only opportunity to send the memorial."

"The memorial explains the murder?" King Qi's face turned pale and his pupils contracted. He always thought that Yu Buqu died because he was in charge of the overall situation in the northwest, and was sick and overworked. He never expected that there would be such a conspiracy in the middle.

Lu Haosheng nodded and said, "The poison used by Zhu Lingyue is impossible for ordinary people to notice. Although Yu Buqu is careful, he never thought that Zhu Lingyue was so bold. When his physical problems later, Yu Buqu discovered the secret, it was too late."

"His body was later transported back to the capital." King Qi said: "Can the body be examined?"

"In order to verify the memorial, his body was indeed examined. At the beginning, the imperial doctor in the palace was sent to carefully check it. After several times, no one found that Yu Buqu's body was poisonous." Lu Haosheng sighed softly: "Later he handed it over to the Shenyiwei. The Suzaku Qianhu, the Shenyiwei, was a first-class poisoning expert. Only then did he find out the poison in Yu Buqu's body, but few people knew about this news."

"Zhu Lingyue wanted to control the northwest, but he was afraid of Yu Buqu. Yu Buqu was not dead for a day, so he could only do nothing honestly." King Qi understood, "He was worried that when the war between the southeast and Hebei ended and Yu Buqu was still alive, then he would have no chance. So he secretly started to kill Yu Buqu early. In this way, he could do whatever he wanted in the northwest."

"That's true." Lu Haosheng said: "After Yu Buqu's death, Zhu Lingyue quickly controlled the Pingxi Army, inserted all his confidants, and dominated the northwest, covering the sky with one hand."

The King of Qi said angrily: "He killed Yu Buqu. Did the court still let him do whatever he wanted in the northwest? He asked the court for officials and rewards, so would the court be at his mercy?"

"I can't force myself." Lu Haosheng sighed: "At that time, the northwest, Tianshan and Xiguan were all under the control of Zhu Lingyue. Tens of thousands of Pingxi Army were also controlled by Zhu Lingyue. Even Xiao Huanzhang could only act according to Zhu Lingyue's look. The court had to deal with the war in the southeast and was unable to look west, so he could only agree to his request first and stabilize him as much as possible."

"Stay him?"

"The southeast Tianmen Road is coming in full force, and the Qingtian King of Hebei was already ready to move at that time. The court had to deal with the southeast and encircle the Qingtian King of the same time. It was already stretched and could not take into account the northwest. If the court did not agree to Zhu Lingyue, he would not get what he wanted in the court, and he would likely launch an army in the northwest. If that was the case, the consequences would be unimaginable." Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "The court could only stabilize him first, hoping to pacify the rebellion in the southeast and Hebei first, and then go back to clean up the northwest. The court did not expect that the war situation in the southeast would last for so long at the beginning. If the northwest was completely indulged in, Zhu Lingyue would be even more troublesome, so he wanted to send Chu Huan to the northwest to restrain Zhu Lingyue. That was no way to do it. At the beginning, he did not have too much expectations for Chu Huan."

The King of Qi smiled bitterly and said, "At first, I thought my father had taken a fancy to Chu Huan's talent, so I entrusted him with important tasks. It turned out that... the court sent Chu Huan to the northwest and almost asked him to die!"

Lu Haosheng said: "The court was also helpless. When Chu Huan set out to the northwest, he thought he would die for a lifetime, but he survived there and achieved the result that the court wanted, which hindered Zhu Lingyue and made Zhu Lingyue dare not move for a long time. However, choosing Chu Huan was not arbitrarily selecting people. When Chu Huan was selected, he really took a fancy to Chu Huan's advantages!"

“What are the advantages?”

"Chu Huan has courage and does not have the desire to surrender at all, which is very important." Lu Haosheng said: "If you send someone at will, you will be bribed by Zhu Lingyue soon and become Zhu Lingyue's lackey. The court chose Chu Huan and measured it over and over again. It really felt that Chu Huan would not surrender to Zhu Lingyue easily. Chu Huan's talent, killing General Mu in Anyi, destroying the Huang clan, and on mission to Xiliang, have been proven that he is indeed brave and resourceful. The most important point is that Chu Huan has a foundation than anyone else when he arrives at Xiguan."

"Basic?"

"The prince met Chu Huan in Yunshan. Do you know that when Chu Huan was in Yunshan, he had already had a woman who had made a lifelong life?"

King Qi blurted out: "Is it Sister Su Niang?"

Lu Haosheng shook his head and said, "It is a woman named Su. Her original home is in Xiguan. Moreover, the Su family is in Xiguan. It is the head of the seven surnames of Xiguan. The seven surnames of Xiguan are the head of the gentry of Xiguan. Chu Huan and the women surnamed Su have their lives to settle for their lives, so they have a relationship with the Su clan of Xiguan. The court took this relationship into consideration and firmly sent Chu Huan to Xiguan."

The King of Qi frowned and said, "Chu Huan is now in Xiguan, so he naturally cannot be compared with the deeply rooted Zhu Lingyue. You said that the king only has Chu Huan in the northwest to help me, so how can he help me?"
