Chapter 65: Embrace Fortune or Embrace Lu

Liu Yongxi couldn't help laughing: "Xian Yun, I guess you already have an idea!"

Chen Yuan said very frankly: "There are many unsuccessful soldiers like me in General Gao Town."

Although Gao Jie is his former master, he is now focused on digging Gao Jie's footsteps. Although Liu Yongxi did not refuse, he thought he should think twice before doing it: "Although there are many people in Gao Zongzhen, everything should be done in moderation!"

He said earnestly: "Do you know why my empress and I have high expectations for Xianyun and General Xing Shengping? Because Xianyun and General Xing, you two are inconspicuous little people in Gao Yingwu's army and cannot cause any trouble!"

Although Liu Yongxi said it a bit harshly, Chen Yuan admitted that Liu Yongxi said it was indeed reasonable. He and Xing Shengping were the most inconspicuous ordinary officers in Gao Jie's army, and they almost had as much as they wanted. Moreover, they both fought each other all day long, so they never made a name for themselves.

Xing Shengping still had at least a few hundred generals and soldiers, but Chen Yuan had thirty or forty men. After coming over, he almost couldn't even form a whistle. Liu Yongxi tried his best to add nearly thirty Shandong soldiers and Linqing prisoners to him to barely form a whistle.

But because he and Xing Shengping are both people who cannot cause trouble, Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang have high expectations for them.

Chen Yuan had long been preparing to go to Gao Jie's command to attract a large number of officers and soldiers, and it would be best to send a group of strong soldiers and strong horses to come.

But when Liu Yongxi said this, Chen Yuan knew where the problem was. His strength was too weak and his status was too low. If a general like Li Benshen and Yang Chengzu came, Chen Yuan might not know where to go.

Now Liu Yongxi has only one battalion and five sentries under his command, so he is particularly valued by Chen Yuan as a general. But if Li Benshen and Yang Chengzu come over, Chen Yuan may only become a very inconspicuous sentry chief, and the final result will inevitably be to make wedding dresses for others for nothing.

Moreover, not only Chen Yuan could not make arrangements, but Queen Zhang and Liu Yongxi were afraid that these arrogant generals would cause countless troubles. Therefore, Chen Yuan decided to change his strategy immediately. Although he still poached Gao Jie's footsteps, he no longer considered these powerful factions: "What does Xiao Lao mean to invite some veterans from a hundred battles to come?"

The water has to flow to the lower part and people go to the higher part. It is naturally an exception to dig people over. So Chen Yuan has figured it out that officers with higher or equivalent status can only cause trouble for themselves or add competitors. Those with slightly lower part must be put back first and later. It is better to consider those veterans who have not been promoted in Gao Jie's army.

Since they have not been promoted, it is better to settle them. Moreover, the strength he developed after he came is solid, unlike those powerful generals who would ruin their jobs.

Liu Yongxi nodded and said, "Yes, the capital is now lost, and there are countless refugees in the Jianghuai River. As long as we use the banner of the empress to solve the food and salary problem, we will have as many new recruits as many as possible, but the veterans of a hundred battles will be different. Let me tell you the truth. There is only one battalion and five sentries under the empress, so we must expand our team as soon as possible!"

Chen Yuan felt that Liu Yongxi was heartbroken with him: "My uncle is right, so I will do it according to my uncle's wishes, right..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but lower his voice: "Brother, should we support Lu or bless us?"

Although there are at least hundreds of thousands of members of the Ming Dynasty, the choices are still very limited. King Gui, King Hui, and King Rui are too far away from Nandu, King Zhou and King Chong are too far away from the blood relationship. Only King Fu and King Lu are placed in front of everyone.

Although, now the news from all aspects is that King Lu seems to have received more support, many civil officials are worried that King Fu will retaliate against the old cases after he ascended the throne, and even martial artists like Liu Zeqing now show their attitude towards supporting Lu.

Many officers from Chengyi Bo Mansion are now extremely anxious, afraid that they would bet in the wrong way in this matter.

Chen Yuan asked Liu Yongxi on behalf of many officers who wanted to know the answer, and Liu Yongxi immediately gave the answer: "Of course it's King Fu. You still don't understand the interests of this?"

Chen Yuan still didn't understand why Liu Yongxi supported King Fu: "My uncle, why do we have to support King Fu? Although it is the King Fu in the order of ethics, isn't it safer to support King Lu?"

Liu Yongxi gave a clear answer: "What is the relationship between King Fu and Tianqi and Chongzhen?"

Chen Yuan replied: "Brother! Of course, King Fu is a few years older than King Xin!"

Liu Yongxi continued to ask, "What is the relationship between King Lu and the two late emperors?"

Chen Yuan replied: "Uncle! This is also the biggest obstacle to King Lu's ascending the throne!"

King Fu, Tianqi, and Chongzhen were both the grandsons of the direct descendants of the Shenzong. King Fu ascended the throne can be said to be brothers and brothers, and is the best choice.

However, King Lu is the nephew of Shenzong, the grandson of Muzong. It is inappropriate to succeed him as an uncle. The reason why Donglin and Fushe supported Lu was entirely due to political grudges, but Liu Yongxi added another knife: "This is also the biggest reason why the Empress must be blessed!"

Although Chen Yuan was a martial artist, he had a scholarly reputation before joining the army. After Liu Yongxi said this, he understood: "That's right, even if King Fu ascended the throne, the Empress still did not lose the position of the Emperor's sister-in-law even if he cites the story of the King. However, King Lu ascended the throne. Will the Empress be the emperor's niece-in-law? From now on, who dares to support King Lu? I promise to kill him with one knife!"

The ascension of King Lu's throne could not solve the status problem of Queen Zhang, and he could not really become the "imperial niece-in-law", so Queen Zhang and Liu Yongxi must support King Fu to succeed the throne.

Liu Yongxi specifically explained to Chen Yuan: "Xianyun, you have to make it clear to your brothers that others bet on both sides, but our sincerity in the Bo Mansion is different. For the sake of the Empress, we must support King Fu now, but the reason why we support King Fu ascend the throne is because we support King Fu, not everything about King Fu!"

Liu Yongxi said it a bit complicated. If it were an honest person like Fu Ding, he would definitely not understand it, but Chen Yuan, a scholar-born martial artist, understood it completely: "My uncle said it very well. We support King Fu to better support the Empress!"

Just as Liu Yongxi was about to continue communicating with Chen Yuan, Wen Qing brought two light cavalry scouts over there and ran over: "My uncle, my uncle, you are still as expected. Lu Zhenfei actually blocked Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo's soldiers! This Lu Futai is really a capable person!"

Chen Yuan was excited when he heard this: "What are you waiting for? I'll go and prepare to set off. My uncle said that it's time for us to make achievements when Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo fight against Jianghuai!"

Liu Yongxi said calmly: "Before leaving, I will explain the reasons why I must support King Fu!"

King Fu was not as calm as Liu Yongxi. He was even a little angry now: "I want to go to the road to see Bai and Ma Yaocao. Since Emperor Chongzhen's brother died in his country, it will be my turn to the Ming Dynasty!"
