Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 111 The Power of the First Battle

During this time, Murong Yuan gave the "human skin mask" to Lu Hao to favor his concubines in the harem.

If the two princesses get married, it will definitely be Lu Hao who takes the initiative. Wouldn't it be an advantage to this guy?

However, Murong Yuan is not a fool. It may be a bit fanciful to ask the empire to send troops after sending two princesses!
After all, once a war breaks out, countless materials will be consumed, and soldiers will be bloody on the battlefield, going through life and death.

Murong Yuan was not the emperor who couldn't move his legs when looking at the beautiful woman.

Although he is not a generation of wise kings, he is not a generation of faint kings either!
After coming out of the princess's station, Lu Hao returned to the palace and presented the gifts from the two princesses to Murong Yuan.

"Xiao Liuzi, have the two princesses settled down?"

Murong Yuan asked casually.

After this period of recuperation, the emperor's mental state improved a lot.

"The two princesses have already checked into the inn after a long journey. The tributes they sent have been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the list."

Lu Hao said, handing over a long list.

Murong Yuan was still reviewing the memorial without even raising his head.

"You can figure out these little things."

Murong Yuan was very relieved about him.

A person who can take all the gifts bribed by others and put them into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what else can't be trusted?
"By the way, why did the two princesses come here this time?"

Murong Yuan said and raised his head.

"The powerful Xixia Dynasty is attacking the Jin Dynasty and Shu Dynasty. The two countries seem to be a bit overwhelmed. The two princesses came here to ask the emperor to send troops."

Lu Hao told the truth and did not hide anything.

"Hmph! You just want me to send troops to help them after you send two women. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Murong Yuan sneered again and again.

As expected, the emperor is not a foolish king, and is also very shrewd.

"Two princesses... over there..."

Lu Hao asked for instructions.

"Receive them normally, eat and drink well, and then tell them to get out!"

Murong Yuan responded.

"However, the two princesses want to see the emperor, and a palace banquet is being arranged at Honglu Temple."

Lu Hao quickly reported.

After all, the two princesses sent so many tributes and represented the Jin Dynasty and the Shu Dynasty.

If it is really missing, it is really hard to explain.

Murong Yuan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Then follow the arrangements of Honglu Temple and meet the two princesses."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Deng has arranged it in three days. This is the specific process."

Lu Hao quickly handed over a document.

This was what Lord Deng of Honglu Temple asked him to forward to the emperor.

Firstly, the emperor wants approval, and secondly, the emperor wants to take time.

Murong Yuan took it, flipped through it, and handed it back to Lu Hao.

"Just do it this way! Look at the invitation list yourself!"

"I thank the Lord for your kindness! I resign!"

Lu Hao left happily.

……

The Prime Minister's residence on the other side.

The Prime Minister and Yu Wenji are plotting in the study.

"Prime Minister, the Emperor is now determined to appoint Xian'er as the crown prince. However, the Empress Dowager's attitude is too determined. What should we do?"

Yuwenji said depressedly.

The eldest prince Murong Xian and the second prince Murong Yao, for the position of prince, the forces behind the two sides have clashed many times, but it is still difficult to determine the winner.

This incident made the Prime Minister and the Minister of War Yu Wenji very angry.

Facing the double attack of the Empress Dowager and Dugu Shenyong, the two adults were helpless.

One has a high position and the other has a lot of troops. If the two resolutely oppose it, they will have to launch a mutiny to push Murong Xian to the throne of the crown prince.

If a mutiny could really be launched, it would be better to kill the emperor and make Murong Xian the emperor.

For such a puppet emperor, it is not the prime minister and Yu Wenji who have the final say.

"This matter has reached the final moment. The emperor has given a time of three days. If the emperor still does not change his mind, the matter will be settled."

Yu Qian said calmly. "However, these three days have been full of changes! And Dugu Shenyong has already begun deployment!"

Yuwenji said in a deep voice.

"What? He dared to mobilize troops without authorization from the Ministry of War. Does he want to rebel?"

Yu Qian's face changed drastically and he said angrily.

"Prime Minister, Dugu Shenyong is commanding the Yanshan Camp according to the order, and the small-scale mobilization of troops and horses is not controlled by the Ministry of War at all."

Yu Wenji responded with a grimace.

"Then if he sends troops to Yandi City, will we be unable to save our lives?"

Yu Qian was not as good as Yu Wenji in the military, so he asked this question.

"The Imperial Guards are now in the hands of Shangguan Cheng. If the army really arrives, our chances of winning are very slim!"

Yu Wenji told the truth.

"Can't the Ministry of War mobilize troops from the surrounding area?"

Yu Qian asked angrily.

"We are still in control of the Imperial City Guards and the city defense battalion. However, if attacked from both inside and outside, our chances of winning are still very slim."

"If we want to mobilize troops and horses from the surrounding areas, there are only General Mei Chao stationed in the north with [-] troops and horses, and General Song Yanwu under General Xuanyuan in the south with [-] troops."

Yu Wenji elaborated.

"That is to say, if we mobilize our troops, we still have 13 available."

Yu Qian's face looked better.

Looking at it now, it is not a complete defeat, at least it still has the strength to fight.

However, these are only the last resort.

Once there is a true war, the empire will suffer another catastrophe of throne replacement.

The empire has just regained its strength, and it really cannot withstand repeated hardships.

"Master Xiang, what happened last time when I poisoned the man in the palace..."

Yu Wenji stopped talking.

The fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better. Originally, he didn't want to ask about it, but now that the crown prince's position was about to be decided, he was naturally concerned about Murong Yuan's safety.

"The truth is not that stupid. Poisoning is easy to expose, and it is not easy to control. Therefore, the truth is what poisoned Murong Yuan!"

Yu Qian said with a faint smile.

"Gu? Is it a Gu insect?"

Yuwenji said in surprise.

"This kind of Gu comes from the Western Region and is divided into male and female. Once the Gu is planted, the other one can control the host. Therefore, it depends on whether we are happy or not when Murong Yuan dies!"

Yu Qian was very angry.

"Prime Minister, before the crown prince's position is settled, you must not let Murong Yuan's poison take effect!"

Yuwenji reminded.

"Don't worry, the true form will be used only at critical moments. Otherwise, it can be lurking in his body for the rest of his life without any abnormality."

Yu Qian is indeed a powerful person.

After all, only those who can truly control the emperor's life and death can control the overall situation.

If in the end, nothing can be done, you can still use this to blackmail the emperor.

"The prime minister is so smart! I admire you! Hahaha..."

Yuwenji smiled and praised.

"Hahaha……"

The two looked at each other and laughed happily.

……

Lu Hao came out of Qianyuan Palace and was about to leave the palace, but was stopped by Qiu Ju.

"Sister Qiu Ju, why are you here?"

Lu Hao moved forward.

"Xiao Liuzi, Master Yi has something to do with you!"

Qiu Ju whispered.

Lu Hao couldn't help but feel hot when he thought of Sister Yi, who was beautiful and enchanting, with passionate brows.
