"That's good." Lu Yice changed the subject, "Here you are, let's order and eat."

Lu Yichen hesitated for a while, and finally sat down on the stool under Lu Yice's expectant gaze, and ate the meal.

...

Zhang Wangfu.

In the study room, Lu Lizhang was full of anger and sat behind the desk with a depressed expression...

However, within a short month of being targeted by Tang Jinghong, all his secrets have been discovered, and so far, he has become an empty shell.

The salt, iron, and sulfur that he made money from were all gone. Not only were they gone, but even his downlines were taken away in one go. That's too ruthless! Absolutely! !

He slammed his clenched fist hard on the desk, no, he can't admit defeat, he still has hidden power, he wants to stand up.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Yice's voice came, "Father, are you there?"

Lu Lizhang restrained his emotions, making his expression softer, "Come in."

Lu Yice pushed the door open and entered, there was no lamp in the study, Lu Lizhang's figure was hidden in the darkness, it was obscure, "Father, why don't you light the lamp?"

As he spoke, he took out a fire pocket and lit the lamps in the study one by one.

The light dispels the darkness and illuminates the surroundings.

Lu Yice put away the fire folder, sat on a chair on one side, and said persuasively, "Father, stop, take mother out of the capital and live a quiet life, okay?"

When Lu Lizhang heard this, he became angry, "Lu Yice, I am your father, should you talk to me like this?"

Lu Yice asked calmly, "Then how do you think I should talk to you?"

Lu Lizhang was angry.

Lu Yice continued, "Father, if General Tang knows about what you did secretly, it means that the emperor knows about it, and the emperor has never asked about it. Don't you know what it means?"

Lu Lizhang was at a loss for words, he knew what the emperor meant better than anyone else...

Now Daling is the only king with a different surname left. If his title is deprived by the emperor, the emperor will definitely end up infamy and be criticized by the world.

And if he resigned himself and left the capital, no one would say anything.

But as soon as he left the capital, everything disappeared.

He is not reconciled.

Lu Yice said again, "Father, I want to ask you, what exactly do you want?"

This question stopped Lu Lizhang, yes, he has worked hard for most of his life, why on earth? For money? For the right? For potential?

Thinking about it this way, he found that he seemed to have everything, but he seemed to have nothing.

He sat on the chair with one movement, lost in thought.

Lu Yice suddenly said, "Father, can you give the hidden power to the second brother?"

Lu Lizhang seemed to be stepped on the tail, and became emotional, "Even if I disband the hidden forces, I won't give it to Lu Yichen."

Lu Yice really didn't understand where Lu Lizhang's rejection of Lu Yichen came from, "Father, he is also your son."

Lu Lizhang roared violently, "He's not, since he was sent out of the palace, he's not."

Lu Yice didn't understand why Lu Lizhang was so paranoid, "Father, the bloodline will not change."

Lu Lizhang scolded angrily, "It was Lu Yichen who asked you to lobby me, right? Get out, get out of here, eat things that are not self-motivated, and I, Lu Lizhang, have suffered a lot of misfortune in my life and gave birth to you brothers!!"

It is because of them that the Lu family has declined. The Lu family used to be a prosperous palace of a different surname. There were so many visitors every day, and the threshold had to be stepped on. Now it is almost like a dilapidated settlement.

How could he explain to his ancestors when he went to hell? !

Lu Yice defended innocently, "Second brother didn't ask me to do this, I think it's better for dad."

Lu Lizhang said with a bit of madness, "I tell you, it is impossible for me to resign, and I will not hand over my hidden power! You are all dead!!"

Lu Yice persuaded, "Father, if you don't hand it over, our Lu family will never have peace."

Lu Lizhang couldn't listen at all, his angry eyes widened, he glared at Lu Yice, and shouted angrily, "Get out! Get out!!"

Lu Yice had no choice but to leave. Before leaving the study, he left a sentence, "Father, don't you want to live a good life with your mother?"

Lu Lizhang didn't speak, and stared in the direction of the door, his eyes slowly turned red.

Not long after, Tang Jinghong flew in through the window and asked with a faint smile, "How is your lord?"

Lu Lizhang's eyes turned to Tang Jinghong, and his anger burst out, "Come and see my joke?"

Tang Jinghong said slowly, "Master Zhang misunderstood, I just came to ask about Prince Zhang's decision."

"You are a dog!" Lu Lizhang yelled, regardless of his status and face, "Tang Jinghong, what good will it do you if you do this? The cunning rabbit will kill us veterans, and you think you will end well?"

After a moment of silence, Tang Jinghong said, "When Da Ling stabilizes, I will resign from my official position and return to my hometown. I will not be greedy for any power."

Lu Lizhang was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Jinghong to have such an idea. Tang Jinghong came from a villager. Such a person should be more eager than anyone else to climb to the top. Why can he say such words so lightly.

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? You just want to trick me into handing over my hidden power?!"

Tang Jinghong's tone was calm, "First, this is for me and has nothing to do with you. Second, I have already known your hidden power, otherwise how dare you blatantly confront the prince."

Lu Lizhang's expression became flustered, "So your purpose is to wait for me to expose the hidden forces myself, so that you can annihilate them in one fell swoop?"

Tang Jinghong was noncommittal.

If Lu Lizhang was still there, it would be useless for others to take the jade card. The jade card would be useful only after Lu Lizhang died. But if Lu Lizhang found out that the jade card had been stolen and spread the news of the theft, the jade card would be useless.

Lu Lizhang sat down on the chair, he clearly realized that he had suffered a crushing defeat, "I can give you the jade card to command the hidden forces, but make a move and live with the princess."

Tang Jinghong didn't answer Lu Lizhang's words directly, "It depends on what the prince does."

Lu Lizhang's face was ashamed, his hair turned white, and he sighed, "I know what to do, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

He secretly smuggled, but the emperor didn't mention it at all, hoping that he would end it on his own to save the face of both parties.

Tang Jinghong nodded, "I'll wait for news from the lord." After saying that, he flew out of the window and disappeared.

Lu Lizhang got up and walked out of the study, went to look at the princess, then looked at Lu Yichen, and then returned to the study, leaving two letters, one for each person, after a while, he wrote another letter, this one was addressed to Lu Yichen, and then he sat down on the chair while maintaining one movement, and at dawn he drank a glass of poisoned wine and ended his life.
