Chapter 159 The best choice is Duke Lu
Prince Xin smiled. He understood what he meant, but he would not go.
Because the Hua Dynasty was already finished, he saw it more clearly than anyone else. Although Governor Sun was capable, he was simply no match for Wuwang and Duke Lu.
Wuwang has the Tiansheng Army, the Imperial Guards, the Five Cities Army, and other forces.
That's all he knows, but how much more is there in secret that he doesn't know?
But even these were not something that General Sun could contend with.
Now, the only one who can fight against Wuwang is Lu Jingmo.
The legendary Qilin Guards are able to fight ten at a time. Even if today's Qilin Guards are not as good as those in the past, they can still fight two at a time.
The 200,000 Qilin Army is equivalent to 400,000 ordinary soldiers. They will definitely not be defeated against the 200,000 Tiansheng Army.
Another thing is that he didn't believe that Lu Jingmo had no other forces besides the Qilin Guard.
Although Hua Danyang is a member of the Hua family, he is controlled by Wuwang, so that position cannot be considered to belong to the Hua family. Therefore, he would rather let Lu Jingmo take that position.
He joined him, firstly to save his life, and secondly to lend him a hand and kill the evil monk.
"Shan Arsen, did you know that your father passed away in this palace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Dansen and the officials who were paying close attention to the movements here were all shocked.
"Your father was brought out of the palace by Liang Zhaoyi at all costs. At that time, your father was seriously injured and could not be rescued in the end."
Prince Xin said in a calm voice, "Your father regretted before he died that he should not have trusted Wuwang and Zhang Yingying so easily."
"It's even more unfair to Duke Lu. He also said that Wuwang and his men's ultimate goal is not only the throne of the Hua Dynasty, but a bigger goal."
"It's just that he doesn't know this greater purpose either."
"Although he doesn't know, he knows it's definitely not a good thing. He hopes Duke Lu can stop them."
Prince Xin's words shocked everyone.
It turns out there is such an inside story. What is Wuwang and the others' ultimate goal?
Hua Dansen didn't know what to do for a moment.
The officials also looked solemn, and most of them were weighing the pros and cons and making plans in their minds.
Another small number of officials had already been Lu Jingmo's men, so there was no need to weigh the pros and cons. They left the city to chase Lu Jingmo.
"By the way, there are probably no concubines, princes or princesses left in the palace."
Prince Xin added this sentence.
Hua Danshen clenched his hands tightly. As for those brothers and sisters, he actually didn't have much affection for them.
But even though we have no feelings, we are still connected by blood. How can I not feel anything when they are gone?
Wuwang, so hateful!
The officials once again felt the unwarranted cruelty, and those officials who weighed the pros and cons had made a decision in their hearts that the best way to protect their families was to return to the countryside and retire.
But no one wanted to give up their rights, so they unanimously decided to follow Duke Lu.
But some people felt uneasy, fearing that Duke Lu would not want them. This was because when they were officials in the same court, Duke Lu did not like them, and even hated them.
In a carriage, a little boy of about 11 or 12 asked the man in the same carriage, "Brother, do we want to follow Duke Lu too?"
"Of course!" The man's name was Sun Linzhi, the eldest grandson of Grand Tutor Sun.
He is in his thirties.
Master Sun passed away three years ago, but before his death he handed over the family business to his eldest grandson instead of his son.
Hearing his answer, the little boy was not happy and stared at him with eyes full of hatred.
"Brother, but mother said that Duke Lu is an enemy, the enemy who killed my father."
Upon hearing this, Sun Linzhi's face darkened and he sternly taught him a lesson: "Sun Shian, your father deserved his death. It was not unjust, and it was your father who first tried to harm the Duke."
"If someone wants to hurt you and you fight back, then you are wrong?"
"Of course!" The little boy blurted out without even thinking about it, and then he felt something was wrong.
"But brother, that's my father. If I don't avenge my father, how can I still be considered a human being?"
Sun Linzhi closed his eyes weakly, then opened them again, hating his aunt in his heart.
Instilling such ideas in children, are you afraid that the Sun family will live too well?
If Duke Lu knew that there were still people in their Sun family who held such hatred towards him, he would probably abandon the Sun family.
After all, no one wants to keep a time bomb around, especially someone as cautious and ruthless as the Duke.
For the sake of the Sun family, Sun Linzhi felt that he had to be ruthless.
"Sun Shian, I'm telling you one last time. Your father deserves to die. The Duke is right. Moreover, he spared you and your mother. You should be grateful."
He stared at his little cousin without a trace of emotion, "If you still think you should take revenge, then the Sun family will not tolerate you."
Sun Shian was already eleven years old and was no longer an ignorant child. He understood what was said and his heart trembled at the same time.
Scared, but unwilling.
But no matter how unwilling he was, he knew the situation and lowered his head to hide the unwillingness in his eyes, and promised in a low voice: "Brother, I know, I will never have such thoughts again."
Sun Linzhi nodded, but he was still not reassured. He thought he should be more careful in the future.
And my aunt also deserves a good scolding. I used to think that as a woman, it wouldn't be a big deal if she complained after her husband died, as she could only jump around in the backyard anyway.
But now that she has affected her little cousin, we have to take it seriously.
He lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and walked to his mother's carriage.
He stood respectfully by the car window, raised his hand and knocked lightly, and called out, "Mom."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and an old maid opened the curtain, revealing a plainly dressed woman inside.
"Zhi'er, is there something wrong?"
Sun Linzhi nodded and whispered, "Mother, Shian had the idea of seeking revenge on the Duke, and it was all taught by aunt."
When the woman heard this, her gentle face turned serious. "I understand, go and do your work. I will leave your aunt to me."
Sun Linzhi did not return to the carriage, but walked towards Prince Xin.
He wanted to find out Prince Xin's true intentions, whether he really wanted to surrender to the Duke or something else.
Hua Dansen had returned to the carriage and was discussing with his staff what to do next.
In fact, he knew that it was safest to seek refuge with Duke Lu, but he also knew that Duke Lu would never seize that position for him.
He only does it for himself.
As a prince, how could he be willing to watch others seize his vast territory? He would probably be whipped by his ancestors even in the underworld.
Hua Danshen's aide was a young scholar named Jiang Fengqiao. For some reasons, he was unable to continue taking the imperial examinations, so he became Hua Danshen's aide.
At this moment, he was also thinking seriously. He followed Hua Danshen to try to have a future, but now the Hua Dynasty was in chaos.
If there was no Duke Lu or Duke Lu was still loyal to the Hua Dynasty, then it would be safe for him to follow the eldest prince.
But now it is very obvious that Duke Lu has his own ideas. Although the eldest prince has General Sun, and General Sun is also very powerful, he is far inferior to Duke Lu and Wuwang.
In a nutshell, the eldest prince has no place in this world. Both Duke Lu and the evil monk Wuwang are more powerful than the eldest prince.
Wuwang is too evil. The best choice right now is to follow the Duke.
