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

Chapter 234 Waiting for the Opportunity
This was not the first time for Lu Hao to meet her. The two were familiar with each other and got into a good mood.

The two had a fierce battle, and finally the clouds cleared up and the rain stopped.

Sure enough, nothing happened at the Military Aircraft Department today.

Lu Hao was ready to rest his mind, but unexpectedly, Prince Rui came.

As the new patriarch of the Murong family, Prince Rui came today for Murong Hong.

After all, Murong Hong was the emperor's brother. If he really died, the royal family would definitely hold a funeral for him.

However, now Murong Hong cannot see anyone alive or his body after death.

Prince Rui, under pressure from his relatives, must ask whether Murong Hong is alive or dead?
"Master Xiang, this prince is in a difficult situation! Please help me think of a solution."

Prince Rui said with a grimace.

"Prince Rui, there is nothing we can do about the truth! Xue Yue, the general of the Eastern Conquest, has never heard from Murong Hong. The truth cannot be fabricated."

Lu Hao also complained a lot.

Since last night, Lu Hao now doesn't have that much thought on court affairs.

No matter how good he is at it, he is still not making wedding clothes for others, so he might as well save some energy and rest.

As for such royal nonsense, Lu Hao was even less interested.

"Prime Minister, the family is putting a lot of pressure on me now. I must give an explanation. Prime Minister wants to save me!"

Prince Rui said with a grimace.

"Prince Rui! It's not that I won't help you, it's just that this matter is difficult to handle!"

Lu Hao still didn't let go.

"As long as the prime minister helps, I will definitely follow your lead."

Prince Rui begged.

"Prince Rui, I met the Nine Emperors Uncle last time. Please tell me about this Nine Emperors Uncle."

Lu Hao asked casually.

In fact, since I met the Nine Emperors Uncle last time, I have not interacted with him again.

However, Lu Hao has not forgotten this Nine Emperors Uncle, nor has he forgotten his sinister son Murong Yong.

"Prime Minister, where is this Nine Emperors Uncle? He is the late emperor's younger brother. He liked to practice martial arts since he was a child. He always competed with the late emperor. As a result, he was defeated by the late emperor every time..."

Prince Rui introduced it in detail.

It has to be said that Prince Rui still has a good memory and told all the embarrassing things about Uncle Nine Emperors in the past, as well as the people and things in his family.

It turned out that the Nine Emperors Uncle did want to compete for the throne, but he was no match for the late emperor, so he had to retire in the end.

From then on, the Nine Emperors Uncle was obsessed with looking for flowers and flowers, and seemed to have no intention of becoming emperor. He also married more than a dozen wives and gave birth to more than a dozen sons.

Murong Yong was just one of the sons, and he was also the most capable one.

Uncle Nine Emperors has a high prestige among the royal family, and he also has several capable sons who have now infiltrated into the army.

Lu Hao originally didn't take Uncle Nine Emperors seriously, but now it seems that he still has to guard against their family.

Now that Lu Hao is in charge, he belongs to a real outsider, and the Dugu family is also a relative.

If Uncle Nine Emperors really takes action, he will definitely get the support of the Murong family and most of the army.

Besides, the sons of this Nine Emperors Uncle have already infiltrated into various departments of the army.

At that time, once an incident breaks out, the army will respond at once, and the Imperial Capital will probably have to change its personnel.

Lu Hao, who has so much power these days, is really a little too arrogant and self-righteous.

After what happened last night, Lu Hao realized that the water in the empire was too deep and he could drown himself accidentally.

In fact, not only Dugu Shenyong, Nine Emperors Uncle, Chen Lin, Liu Mu, but also several other generals, in their eyes, Lu Hao was just an outsider, how could he hold the power of the empire?
Besides, why don't they want to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the imperial capital?What about ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?
However, these people are now waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for civil strife in the imperial capital again.

Dugu Feng and his son wanted to assassinate Lu Hao. If they succeeded, the power of the prime minister would definitely be controlled by the Dugu family, and the power would soon change.

Fortunately, Lu Hao's marksmanship was good and he killed all the killers.

This incident seems ordinary, but it exactly reflects the undercurrent of the power struggle.

"Master Prime Minister, can you help me now?"

Prince Rui said with a grimace. "Tell those royal relatives that if anyone wants to know the news about Murong Hong, let them find the truth themselves."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"This king understands!"

Prince Rui understood what he meant instantly and left happily.

Lu Hao originally thought about going to Marquis again, but he was worried that Dugu Shenyong would become suspicious, so he gave up in the end.

After a while, Wu Qingyu came to report.

"Prime Minister, we have just received news that Liu Mu has issued a letter of challenge to Chen Lin, making an appointment to fight by the Prancing Horse River."

"What? Prancing Horse River?"

Lu Hao stood up, walked to the sand table, and traced his finger across the large river that crossed the Qianzhong Plain.

The Yuema River originates from the dark forest, crosses the entire Qianzhong Plain from east to west, and flows northwestward, finally flowing into the West Sea.

To the south of the West Sea is the territory of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu, which extends westward for more than 2000 kilometers.

However, most of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu were in valleys, with low productivity and underdeveloped economy.

Of course, they also coveted the rich and fertile Baofeng Plain and the Qianzhong Plain in the Central Plains.

Baofeng Plain occupies the land of two states and belongs to the fiefdom of "Wise Commander" Chen Lin. Otherwise, the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu would have invaded long ago.

"Where is it exactly?"

Lu Hao asked.

"The battle location is Fenglingdu on the Yuanma River. There is a maple forest here and the scenery is beautiful."

Wu Qingyu pointed at the map and pointed out the specific location.

"Very good! I thought Chen Lin would issue a challenge, but unexpectedly, Liu Mu caught Chen Lin off guard!"

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Master Xiang, who do you think will win?"

Wu Qingyu asked with a smile.

"It's better to lose both sides and die together, then you won't have to worry about the truth! Hahaha..."

Lu Hao laughed heartily.

"Master Xiang, you are too thief."

Wu Qingyu also laughed.

"Is there any good news? Report it as well."

Lu Hao was in a good mood.

"My subordinates don't know whether it's good news or not? Xue Yue sent a message that Murong Hong's body has been found and someone is being sent to escort him back to the imperial capital."

Wu Qingyu said.

"Found it? Really dead?"

Lu Hao said in surprise.

"It seems to be true. Otherwise, Xue Yue would not dare to report this situation."

Wu Qingyu added.

"Alas! There is no resurrection for dead people. Murong Hong sacrificed his life for the country. He can be regarded as a good man of the Murong family!"

Lu Hao sighed.

"In addition, the royal family of the Sui Empire is planning to send envoys to the imperial capital to pay a visit to the Prime Minister. This is finally good news!"

Wu Qingyu said with a smile.

"Meet the truth? What are you doing? It seems that the truth is not familiar with them, right?"

Lu Hao was a little confused.

Suddenly, he understood the intention of the Sui Empire.
