Chapter 366 Assassination of Liu Bang (2)
Three days later, Lü Ze successfully arrived in Xianyang. Before he could wash away the dust on his body, Lü Ze summoned all the children of the Lu family in the Mansion of General Cavalry in Lutai. In addition to the children of the Lu family, there were also Ding Fu, Fu Kuan, Guo Meng, Zhu Zhen and other confidants of the Lu family. There were more than 20 people, and they were all long-time generals in the army.
The Lu family group is not just Lu Ze, Lu Tai and his son, but also a large number of generals in the army are the strongest forces. If Liu Bang dares to attack the Lu family group, these backbone forces will immediately rebel against the Han Dynasty, and a civil war will inevitably be avoided. This is also a major reason why Liu Bang dared not kill the Lu family group.
In addition, Lu Ze and important officials such as Xiao He, Xiahou Ying, Cao Shen, Guan Ying also had a deep relationship. Thinking about it, if Lu Gong had not paid money to support Liu Bang, Liu Bang would not have had the money to recruit soldiers and horses, Xiao He and the others would not have followed Liu Bang. Although Cao Shen and Guan Ying are dead, the two big bosses Xiao He and Xiahou Ying are still alive.
If it weren't for this, how could Liu Bang be ruthless? You should know that this rogue in the market can even push his own son and daughter out of the car, and even eat his old father's human flesh soup. How could such a nerd care about the relationship between husband and wife and the relationship between the king and the minister? In his eyes, there is only interest!
However, it must be admitted that Liu Bang is still very good at disguising himself. He is essentially a cruel and ruthless man, but on the surface, he is also a kind and righteous Buddha in the Wan family. Especially at critical moments, he is very good at acting, otherwise he would not have let Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Lu Ze and others betray him.
In the hall of the General's Mansion of the Cavalry, Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi, Lu Tai, Lu Chan, Lu Ze, Lu Lu and more than 20 confidant generals had gathered together, but Queen Lu Zhi was not listed here.
Lu Shizhi's eldest son, Lu Ze, quickly asked a question: "Uncle, why didn't my aunt come?"
Lv Ze waved his hand and did not answer Lu Ze's question. It was Lv Ze's decision not to allow Lu Zhi to attend today's meeting. In Lu Ze's view, Lv Zhi was obviously confused because of the serious illness of the prince Liu Ying. Having her attending the meeting will definitely seriously affect the mood of the children of the Lu family and will not help Lv make the correct decision.
Lu Shizhi said: "Brother, is it because you are going back to Xianyang this time to be the king?"
Without waiting for Lu Ze to answer, Lu Chan said, "According to the child, my father should have been crowned king for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 confidant generals including Lu Ze, Lu Lu and Fu Kuan agreed. Whether in terms of qualifications or military achievements, Lu Ze should have been awarded the king for a long time. Therefore, when the children of the Lu family and more than 20 confidant generals talked about this, they were all filled with righteous indignation and were excited.
Lu Ze sighed and asked Lu Tai: "Tai'er, what about your opinion?"
Lu Tai bowed and replied proudly: "The child is all listening to his father. If his father wants to be a king, then he asks for a title. If his father says he doesn't want to be a title, then he won't be a title!"
Lu Ze's heart fell to the ground. Before coming to Xianyang, what he was most worried about was that Lu Tai was young and energetic, and was bewitched by Lu Zhi. Now it seems that Lu Tai is quite aware of advancement and retreat. With Lu Tai in charge of the Lu family, even if Lu Ze died, Lu family would not have fallen into defeat in two generations. Perhaps it is unknown that it will be even more prosperous.
At that moment, Lu Ze sighed and said, "Is it a blessing to me, Lu's family?"
Lu Shizhi said inexplicably: "Brother, being named a king is a supreme honor, how can it be said to be a disaster?"
Lv Ze sighed: "I am honored to be a king and splitting the country, and honor is honor, but do you think about the consequences?"
After saying this, Lü Ze said again: "If the king is here, my Lu family and the Han Dynasty can still live in peace, but the king is old. Once the king is away, can the new king still be friendly to my Lu family? Moreover, Sanchuan County is located in the four battles, with Chu in the south, Qi in the east, and Han and Zhao in the north. If you get into evil with the Han Dynasty again, disaster will be endless!"
All Lu and his confidants were silent. They had to admit that Lu Ze's worries were not an unfair worry.
After a pause, Lü Ze said heavily: "So, the title of kings and splitting the country will only cause my Lu family to suffer the misfortune of extermination. Only by serving the Han people for generations can we protect our Lu family's honor."
Lu Shizhi thought about it and said, "But have your brother thought about it? Because of my aunt, Concubine Qi, Liu Ruyi and my Lu family have deep grudges. Once Liu Ruyi succeeds to the throne, my Lu family will also be destroyed!"
Lu Ze said: "This is my own consideration for you, but you don't have to worry anymore."
Lu Ze was indeed considering this issue. The resentment between Lu Zhi and Concubine Qi was already very deep, and Liu Ruyi could not be good at it, along with the entire Lu Group and Concubine Qi. If the king died, Liu Ruyi would really succeed to the throne and make Concubine Qi the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty, then the Lu Group would definitely be in trouble.
Therefore, no matter what, Liu Ruyi cannot be brought to power. This is the bottom line of the Lu Group.
However, if Liu Ruyi is not allowed to take power, then who should the Lu Family Group support? Although Liu Ying was born in Lu Zhi, she would have lived a few days later. Therefore, the Lu Family Group must find a candidate to replace Liu Ying as soon as possible. The King of Han has eight sons. Besides Liu Ying and Liu Ruyi, which son is the right candidate?
Since leaving Luoyang, Lu Ze has been considering this issue.
However, Lu Ze has always been steady in his behavior. He will never reveal anyone until he finds a suitable candidate. Even his second brother, Lu Shizhi and his eldest son, Lu Tai, Lu Ze does not intend to disclose it. Because this matter is of great importance, if the news is leaked, how could he not bring disaster to the rest of the king's sons?
#############
Green Willow Villa in the northern suburbs of Xianyang.
Almost no one knows that such an inconspicuous villa is actually a branch of Ebony Cliff in Xianyang. And the master of the doctor, who usually smiles when he sees everyone, is actually one of the ten commanders of Ebony Cliff!
The owner of the village is practicing sword in the backyard, and an ebony dead man hurried over to report: "Commander, there is news from Zhiling."
The owner of the village immediately put his sword in his arms and set his mind. He calculated the time and it was almost time for a reply. Although the journey from Xianyang to Ziling was long, the pigeon was flying very fast, and three days was enough to fly back and forth.
He took the secret letter from the dead soldier, but after reading it, Liu Zhuang frowned.
The commander was so immense that he actually wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate the King of Han Liu Bang? This was really not easy. You know, the veteran Xiahou Ying would not leave Liu Bang in half a step, and Li Ji, Xiahou Zao and other guards would often stay by Liu Bang's side. The most difficult thing was Liu Bian, who had become Liu Bang's personal bodyguard!
Liu Bi is a powerful general second only to Zhou Guanfu. If he wants to assassinate Liu Bang, he must try to lure Liu Bi away!
He caught fire and burned the secret letter to ashes. The owner of the village Liu ordered the Deathman to say, "Go, invite Mr. Gu and Mr. Yang immediately. If you have an urgent matter, please discuss with them."
"Here!" The dead man bowed and took the order.
#############
Changle Palace, Liu Ying's bedroom Palace.
After leaving the door, Lu Ze sighed and said to Lu Zhi: "As the saying goes, life and death come from fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. This is Ying'er's fate. A Zhi, you are not too sad."
"Brother." Lu Zhi said sadly, "God is unfair!"
Lv Ze was speechless, God was unfair? When did God truly be fair again?
After thinking about it, Lu Ze said worriedly again: "A Zhi, I know that you hate Concubine Qi and Liu Ruyi to the core, but you should not do anything wrong. Doing this will not help you except to make the king unhappy."
"Brother, don't worry, my little sister knows how to do it." Lu Zhi lowered her head, her tone a little cold.
Lu Ze sighed again and said, "This incident of kingship has made our Lu family passive. Fortunately, the king is benevolent and righteous, so we have not killed our Lu family. The king is benevolent and righteous, we cannot be ruthless. Azhi, don't forget that Liu Bang is your husband, and the king is the king of the Han Dynasty. Do you know?"
Lu Zhi still lowered her head and said nothing.
Lu Ze said again: "Okay, I'll leave first, and I'll come to visit Ying'er in a few days."
"Great to see my brother." Lu Zhi bent her knees slightly. When Lu Ze walked away, the cold expression on her face suddenly turned into ferocious. She immediately ordered the female official who was following her to say, "Prepare the car immediately, I am going to Luliu Villa."

Green Willow Villa, backyard secret room.
The owner of the village is sitting opposite the two old men. These two old men are the think tanks of the owner of the village. Today, the Ebony Cliff has long become a huge intelligence agency. In addition to the leaders of the boss of Liu, there are also think tanks like Mr. Yang and Mr. Gu, there are also a large number of cold-blooded dead soldiers who are ready to sacrifice at any time.
Master Liu Yangyang wrote a secret letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The commander has issued an ebony order!"
Mr. Yang and Mr. Gu's expression changed slightly. Under the order of Ebony, there was no room for change.
At that moment, Mr. Yang said: "Liu Bang is on his way back to Xianyang, but there are imperial guards along the way, as well as powerful generals like Liu Bi and Xiahou Ying, so we have no chance."
Mr. Gu also said: "In the palace, Liu Bang also has many guards and generals to guard him, so the chance is not great!"
The owner of the Liu Manor frowned and said nothing. It was indeed not easy to assassinate Liu Bang, and even mobilized a large army might not succeed. This is really a difficult matter, but the commander said it was right. This is probably the only opportunity to assassinate Liu Bang. Usually, the ebony dead soldiers could not even get close to the wall garden of Weiyang Palace. However, this time, someone took them into the palace.
Mr. Yang stroked his chin and said suddenly: "Master, I have an immature idea."
When Master Liu heard this, his expression moved slightly and said with a smile: "Sir, he is very smart and will never disappoint me, haha."
Mr. Yang poked out his right hand and stretched out three fingers, and said sinisterly: "If you want to kill Liu Bang, you must first meet three conditions. One is in the palace; the second is that Liu Bian is not in front of Liu Bang, and the third is that our people have the opportunity to approach Liu Bang. If one of these three conditions cannot be met, the assassination will definitely fail!"
Chapter completed!
