Many children bring happiness, starting from marrying a wife and starting to dominate the world

Mu Changtian didn't explicitly say that he wanted to help Lu Chen. There were some things in politics that couldn't be said explicitly.

However, since he has guaranteed that Lu Chen's trip to Beijun will be smooth sailing, it means that he will definitely send people to protect King Bei, and will also greet the army well.

Although Lu Chen was a novice in politics, he could still understand Mu Changtian's words. Lu Chen said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

Mu Changtian looked at the servants in the hall at this time, and then said to those servants: "You guys go out first. I have something to say to King Bei alone."

"yes."

Then the servants left the hall.

After everyone went out, Lu Chen asked curiously: "I wonder what my father-in-law wants to tell me?"

Mu Changtian asked his servants to leave the hall first before talking to him. It must be a very important matter.

Mu Changtian said at this time: "King Bei, I want to remind you that even if you reach Beijun safely, you will not always be safe and sound."

Lu Chen asked: "Why is this?"

Mu Changtian knew that Lu Chen was a political novice, so he simply made it clear.

"Your mother-in-law is the eldest lady of the Chu family, and the Chu family naturally belongs to your faction."

"Although you have left Kyoto, in the eyes of most princes, you still pose a great threat to them."

"And the Chu family probably still has expectations for you. Even I think so, and those princes will definitely think so too."

"If you were still here, the Chu family would probably always support you, but if it were you..."

Mu Changtian did not continue speaking. After all, what he said later was a bit disrespectful, and he believed that Lu Chen should have understood what he meant.

Hearing Mu Changtian's reminder, Lu Chen instantly understood what he meant. After all, Chu Yuqin had only reminded him this morning.

Lu Chen sighed inwardly.

My situation is indeed dangerous.

If he had not died, the Chu family might have always had expectations for him. The Chu family was a big family in Jiangnan. For any prince, the support of the Chu family was very important.

If he died, the Chu family would lose their first choice for support, and they would seek refuge with other princes.

Therefore, for any prince who wants to win over the Chu family, the first thing he will most likely do is to get rid of the useless prince himself and completely eliminate the Chu family's worries.

It really hurts my head.

Originally, after he came to this world, he had always planned to lie down and enjoy happiness, and had no intention of competing for the throne.

I didn't expect that just one life experience would bring me so much trouble.

There is nothing you can do about it, your life experience is determined innately and cannot be changed.

Now he only has two choices.

One is to find a way to completely oppose the Chu family and make people think that he and the Chu family have broken off.

Another option is to kill everyone who wants to get rid of him, so that he will be safe.

Choosing the second option also meant that he embarked on the path of the emperor.

From a personal perspective, Lu Chen would definitely not completely break with the Chu family.

First of all, his grandfather has been very good to him since he was a child, and the Chu family has always sent people to protect him. Even his first love in this world, Chu Yuqin, is also from the Chu family.

He really couldn't do something like a complete break with the Chu family.

And even if he and the Chu family really broke up completely, the princes would not necessarily let him go. After all, no one knew whether he and the Chu family were performing a double act for people to see.

So getting rid of yourself is the best solution.

In this way, those princes may still take action against him.

That leaves only one last option.

Take the path of the Emperor!

Lu Chen thought for a while, if it was before, it would be really difficult for him to compete with those princes for that position.

But things are different now.

He has a system of many children and many blessings.

As long as he takes more concubines and has more children after going to Beijun, he will be able to improve his strength as soon as possible.

That position may not be yours.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Mu Changtian: "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. I understand what you mean."

…

After leaving the Mu Mansion, Mu Zixuan asked cautiously in the carriage: "Your Majesty, what did daddy say to you?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then hugged Mu Zixuan into his arms.

"He didn't say anything. He told me to treat you well."

At this time, Mu Zixuan was a little confused. She didn't know whether she should tell Lu Chen about the two Zhou sisters. After all, their identities were too sensitive.

At this time, Lu Chen's hand gently stroked Mu Zixuan's hair and continued: "My beloved concubine, after arriving in Beijun, you must have more children for me."

Hearing such direct words, Mu Zixuan's face instantly turned red. Although she was already a woman, she was new to this kind of thing after all.

Seeing Mu Zixuan's shy expression, Lu Chen wanted to bully her immediately, but he held back in the end.

at the same time.

royal palace.

Royal Garden.

A middle-aged man wearing a yellow python robe stood in the pavilion of the lotus pond, watching the fish swimming around in the lotus pond with his hands behind his back.

A man in black armor suddenly appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty, King Bei just went to the Mu Mansion. During this period, Duke Mu asked his servants to leave the hall and closed the door to talk to King Bei alone about something."

After hearing this, Emperor Xia said to himself: "It seems that Mu Changtian values ​​Xiaojiu quite a lot."

Having said this, Emperor Xia turned to look at the red-robed eunuch beside him.

"Eunuch Liu, do you think the Chu family will give up on Xiaojiu after he leaves the capital this time?"

Upon hearing this question, the red-robed eunuch immediately said: "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense."

Emperor Xia said somewhat unhappily: "Just say what you are told."

The red-robed eunuch said quickly: "In my opinion, the Chu family will most likely abandon the Northern King and choose to support other princes."

Emperor Xia asked with great interest: "Oh? Then tell me, who is the Chu family most likely to choose?"

Eunuch Liu was trembling with fear.

He has been following Emperor Xia and knows some things that others don't know. Emperor Xia hates the Chu family so much that he even dreams of getting rid of the Chu family.

If he said who the Chu family would support next, wouldn't he be harming other princes?

Emperor Xia continued: "If you speak boldly, I will pardon your innocence."

Eunuch Liu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Chu family will most likely support the eighth prince."

The eighth prince's mother-in-law is also from Jiangnan, so if the Chu family wants to choose someone to follow, their eyes will inevitably be on the eighth prince.

After hearing Eunuch Liu's words, Emperor Xia just smiled faintly and murmured: "Support Xiao Ba, then I'm afraid Xiao Jiu's journey will not be peaceful."

At this time, the soldier in black armor behind Emperor Xia asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to protect His Royal Highness the North King?"

Emperor Xia said indifferently: "No need, someone will protect him. If something happens to him, it can only be blamed on his lack of strength."

…

night.

In the room, Lu Chen wanted to have a good communication with his beloved concubine, but when he thought about how much he had only bothered her yesterday and this morning, he gave up.

Seeing that her husband seemed to be in pain, Mu Zixuan finally plucked up the courage and said, "My lord, how about you take in Youyou and Xiaoxiao?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect his beloved concubine to be so generous.

But he still said: "My dear concubine, how can you bear to push me to another woman?"

Mu Zixuan blushed and said, "My lord, you have been staring at the two of them in the morning."

How could she not guess what Lu Chen was thinking.

Mu Zixuan continued: "Besides, the two of them are originally concubines' maids, and they should serve the prince as well."

Lu Chen hugged Mu Zixuan and said, "How can a husband ask for a wife like this?"

At this time, Mu Zixuan said to Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Youyou, Xiaoxiao, come here."

Then the candlelight flickered in the room.
