Chapter 644: Restarting a Game, Step by Step
Ji Chuhe reached out and helped Susu up. "Susu, the fact that you are still alive proves that I was right about you. Do you remember what I told you? Your hatred is not enough to cost you your life. You must avenge your hatred, but you must also live well."
"I remember everything Madam said to me, but I would rather die with the Fourth Prince."
"The roots of the Luo family have not been completely eradicated. Think about the exiled Luo Jixun."
Susu immediately clenched her hands into fists.
"This time, you came back alive without being exposed, and you passed the test I set for you. Next, I want you to continue to lurk beside the emperor and Chang Ru. I promise you that the situation you want will come true sooner or later."
A hint of determination flashed in Susu's eyes; she believed in Ji Chuhe.
"Yes! My life belongs to Madam! However, Chang Ru seems to have always been suspicious of me. But I am from the Luo family, and she can't find any evidence against me."
"You're right. As long as you don't expose yourself, Chang Ru can't do anything to you. Today, Chang Ru happened to ask you to come to the shop to pick up something, so I'll give you a task."
"Ma'am, please give me your instructions."
"Try every possible means to win the emperor's heart and take away his love for Chang Ru." Ji Chuhe whispered.
"Yes."
Next, it’s another new game of chess.
Ji Chuhe is about to start making plans.
The court has already nominated several candidates who are qualified for the position of prime minister.
The Grand Censor, Marquis of Wuyang, and Rong Yuchuan have the most supporters, and in the end, no one knows who will take up the position of Prime Minister.
The Empress Dowager had no control over the final result. If she really had to choose, it is estimated that none of these three people would be the candidate she wanted.
Ji Chuhe suddenly received an invitation from the Wuyang Marquis Mansion.
She immediately asked someone to prepare a gift and rushed to the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion.
After the palace turmoil, Ji Chuhe had been looking for an opportunity to visit Marquis Wuyang, but the palace affairs were busy and Marquis Wuyang had no time, so it was always delayed.
When Ji Chuhe arrived, Marquis Wuyang had been waiting for her for a long time.
This time I met Ji Chuhe in his study.
Even the wife of Marquis Wuyang was not there. There were only Ji Chuhe and Marquis Wuyang.
"Teacher." Ji Chuhe called out.
"Xiao He, you are here, please sit down." Marquis Wuyang raised his hand.
Ji Chuhe sat down and did not speak, but waited for Marquis Wuyang's next words.
In fact, she didn't know why Marquis Wuyang suddenly called her over today.
"Xiao He, I won't beat around the bush. I'll get straight to the point. The teacher asked you to come here today because I want to ask you something. Of course, you can tell me the truth about this matter, or you can choose not to tell me. The teacher won't force you."
"What does the teacher want to ask me?"
"Did you participate in this palace riot?" Marquis Wuyang's expression became solemn.
"Teacher, I am involved in it." Ji Chuhe responded truthfully.
Marquis Wuyang did not look surprised at all, as he had already guessed it.
"Teacher, both the Huaiyang Palace and I are trying to survive in the cracks. If we don't get involved, we will definitely not have a good ending. Since I am involved, then of course I want the situation to develop according to the result I hope for."
Marquis Wuyang could understand Ji Chuhe's meaning.
This is what he has always suspected.
The Queen poisoned the Emperor, what a big deal!
Perhaps, the driving force behind this is Ji Chuhe.
He was a little confused about his little apprentice, whom he had always been proud of.
If the Fourth Prince had not ascended the throne, he even felt that Ji Chuhe had the intention to seize the throne and wanted the Prince of Huaiyang to sit on the throne.
He still didn't understand what Ji Chuhe wanted?
The current situation is really like walking on thin ice.
“Xiao He, have you ever thought that no matter whether it is the Queen and the Third Prince, or the Grand Empress Dowager and the current Emperor, none of them can sit firmly on the throne of Da Xia. The sudden death of the late Emperor is going to push Da Xia into an irretrievable situation!” What Marquis Wuyang is worried about is the common people of Da Xia.
"Teacher, do you think that I disregard the lives of ordinary people for my own benefit?" Ji Chuhe asked back softly.
Marquis Wuyang's throat stiffened for a moment and no sound came out.
"If that's the case, you must be very disappointed in me."
"I believe that with your intelligence and wisdom, you can defuse this civil unrest instead of adding fuel to the flames at this time."
It seems that Marquis Wuyang doesn't know that all this was caused by her.
I thought it was an endless struggle between the Queen and the Queen Mother, and she was just going with the flow.
She admired Marquis Wuyang very much, as he cared about the people of the world.
"Teacher, I can feel how you feel right now, and I can tell you the truth. Even if the late emperor is still alive, the trend of Daxia will not develop in the direction you want."
Marquis Wuyang couldn't even utter a word to refute.
He knew that the late emperor had never cared about the people of Daxia.
Otherwise, when a natural disaster occurred, the late emperor would not be the first to give up the lives of the people and even falsify the relief supplies.
To the late emperor, the common people are nothing but ants.
"The late emperor only cared about his power and status. In his heart, he never put the people first! He first went to war with the Rong Kingdom, and then abolished the feudal system. What's the big deal about destroying the Huaiyang Palace? How many people are there in the Huaiyang Palace? Compared with the common people of the world, it's not worth mentioning at all."
"No, you can't say that. Whether they are kings, princes, generals, or ordinary people, they are all living lives." Marquis Wuyang retorted.
"Teacher, do you know what the late emperor wanted to do after he abolished the system of enfeoffment and eliminated the King of Huaiyang?"
This question stumped Marquis Wuyang.
If he followed his idea, he would of course focus on farming like Huaiyang did and ensure that the people could have enough food to eat.
Would the emperor do this?
He has his own journey, how could he be influenced by others?
"He wants to concentrate military power. There has always been a vacancy among the three highest officials in the court. The late emperor has been in office for so many years, but he has not yet decided on a candidate for the position of Grand Commandant. This is because the military forces of the world have not yet been unified. The position of Grand Commandant has too much power and cannot be entrusted to others."
Ji Chuhe's words left Marquis Wuyang with no way to refute.
“If that day really comes, will those generals who hold military power easily hand it over? The world will still be in chaos.” Ji Chuhe’s tone was very firm.
Marquis Wuyang knew that Ji Chuhe was not making random guesses and that this was indeed something that could happen.
"Will there be chaos when the last emperor dies and the fourth prince ascends the throne? There will be chaos! However, chaos is different from disorder. For example, the palace riot this time was only in the palace, and even the people of the imperial capital were not affected. Only those who care about the people can think about the people in times of chaos. In this case, teacher, are you still entangled in the death of the last emperor?"
Marquis Wuyang took a deep breath and was persuaded by Ji Chuhe.
