MTL - To Hold One’s Joy-Chapter 533 persuade
Chapter 533 Persuasion
When Commander Lei led the troops back, he was stunned to see the scene of the camp in full swing.
The cauldrons set up in the open air were steaming, and the bonfire illuminated the faces of the surrounding soldiers. There were even singing voices accompanied by the smell of food.
What's happening here?
After being stunned, I was overjoyed.
King Kaiyang could have solved Luo Chi?
Chief Governor Lei rushed over excitedly and called out to the prince.
"Governor Lei is back, how is the situation?"
Referring to today's battle, Governor Lei was very happy: "Thanks to the help of the prince, the lower officials were able to free up their hands to deal with the remnant soldiers of the Henan king."
"Congratulations to Commander Lei for his victory."
"It's not a big victory. It's just that the stragglers were defeated, or the king of Henan ran away." Governor Lei was modest, and then asked Wei Han, "How is the battle today, my lord? The Chaoyang army is all elite. Have a good time."
"Didn't hit."
"What?" Governor Lei was taken aback.
Wei Han said calmly: "I went to the city today to discuss with Uncle Luo, and plan to return to Beijing together."
Governor Lei thought he heard it wrong, so he forced a smile and said, "My lord, please don't make such jokes with the officials."
Why did he hear every word that King Kaiyang said clearly, but couldn't understand it together.
What the **** is "Uncle Luo"?
Wei Han narrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Governor Lei, and said calmly, "I don't know how to joke."
They are not familiar with each other.
Chief Governor Lei put away his smile and became serious: "What exactly does your lord mean?"
The "Uncle Luo" doesn't mean Luo Chi?
Chief Governor Lei thought so, putting his hand on the scabbard.
Wei Han didn't seem to notice the actions of Chief Lei, and his expression was still calm: "Captain Lei, let's sit in the tent and talk."
Governor Lei was unmoved: "There is no need to sit down and talk, the prince can speak directly."
Now he has figured it out, King Kaiyang is colluding with Luo Chi, intending to seek power and usurp the throne!
Being able to command the three major battalions of the Imperial Army, Lei Ming's loyalty to Emperor Yong'an naturally goes without saying.
"Master Lei should know the reason why Governor Luo fled the capital, right?" Wei Han asked.
General Governor Lei frowned: "The salary of the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, no matter what the reason, he betrayed the capital as the commander of the Jinlin Guard, which is treasonous!"
Of course he heard the reason. It is said that the emperor listened to the words of the national teacher, and for Princess Changle, a woman born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Wuchen year was used as a sacrifice to the god. It happened that Luo Chi's favorite daughter was born on that day.
But in his opinion, the ruler and minister had to die, how could he defect for a daughter.
"There is something that Commander Lei may not have had time to hear about."
Lei Dadu sneered: "The matter on the side of the prince Qingjun, the officials have also heard about it."
Wei Han smiled slightly: "This king didn't mean that."
"what is that?"
"Later, it developed to the point that every young woman in the city would be killed, and Governor Lei's daughter was no exception—"
"Impossible!" Governor Lei's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
Wei Han pointed to the tent not far away: "General Governor Lei, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Governor Lei's complexion kept changing, and he finally nodded.
The two walked into the tent.
"Let's talk, my lord." Governor Lei said sullenly.
Wei Han looked at him, and said in a calm tone, "Hasn't Governor Lei received a letter from home for a while?"
Governor Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he tried his best to keep calm.
"In fact, because Jin Linwei captured Miss Lei, he was worried that the commander Lei Dadu, who was leading the army outside, would hear the news, so he took control of Lei Mansion a long time ago."
Governor Lei couldn't believe it: "The prince thinks I will believe such absurd words?"
Wei Han chuckled lightly: "In terms of being highly valued, how does Commander Lei feel compared to Commander Luo?"
Lei Dadu was delayed.
Jinlinwei is responsible for the security of the imperial city, and the three major battalions are mainly responsible for defending the capital and defending against foreign enemies. Naturally, it is the commander of Jinlinwei who wins the trust of the emperor.
Wei Han asked again: "How does Miss Lei compare to Miss Luo?"
Governor Lei was silent.
If the emperor can take action against Luo Chi's beloved daughter, he can naturally take action against his daughter.
The appearance of his daughter appeared in the mind of Chief Governor Lei.
He has three sons, but only one daughter. Although she was not spoiled like Miss Luo, she was treated as the apple of his eye since childhood.
Thinking of what happened to his daughter, Dudu Lei suddenly felt as if his heart was being twisted.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the feelings of Governor Luo, and secretly laughed at himself: It turns out that only when things happen to him can he empathize with him.
Of course, even so, he will not commit treason like Luo Chi did.
Lei Dadu suppressed his confused thoughts, and said coldly: "If the prince wants to persuade Lei with this, then there is no need to talk about it."
"The emperor fell ill."
Lei Dadudu was surprised: "The emperor—"
"Perhaps a prince who can preside over the overall situation is needed."
Governor Lei couldn't sit still: "Your Highness wants to replace him?"
"This king has no interest in that seat." Wei Han said coldly.
"Then what does the prince mean?" Governor Lei stared at Wei Han and asked.
"The only son of Governor Luo is not his own, but the real orphan of King Zhennan, with Taizu's secret edict in hand..."
After hearing this, Chief Governor Lei had a brilliant expression on his face: "Taizu's secret edict... the prince has seen it?"
Wei Han nodded, and said: "Under this situation, this king thinks that returning the throne to the Qi family is a matter of course, and it is also the most convincing choice. What does Governor Lei think?"
Governor Lei fell into complete silence.
If something happened to the emperor, compared with the rebellious vassal king and the orphan of Zhennan King who held Taizu's secret edict, it is obvious that the latter's name change is justified.
There was a long silence in the tent, and the excitement outside the tent became more apparent.
Wei Han waited quietly.
Finally, Governor Lei asked in a hoarse voice: "How can I believe what the prince said is true?"
Wei Han smiled: "I said this to Commander Lei because I couldn't bear to meet my comrades. If Commander Lei really wants to fight, I will naturally accompany him."
Chief Governor Lei's complexion changed slightly.
Wei Han pointed outside the account: "Master Lei, listen to those laughter, what will happen after the beating?"
General Governor Lei walked to the entrance of the tent and looked outside.
It was time for dinner, and the soldiers sitting around eating meat chatted and laughed, and sang folk songs with some interest.
Governor Lei's expression kept changing, and he was struggling endlessly.
I don't know how long it took, but he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "If what the prince said is true, Lei is willing to **** the orphan of Zhennan King to Beijing!"
The real can’t be fake, the fake can’t be real, if King Kaiyang lied to him, it won’t be too late to fight to the death.
Wei Han raised his lips and smiled: "Then it will be hard work for Governor Lei."
The two reached an agreement, and soon got in touch with Governor Luo.
After a secret discussion among the three parties, the next day they gathered forces to wipe out the remnant soldiers of the Henan king, took the head of the Henan king Xiangshang, and marched to the capital in mighty force.
