The so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and there are complete eggs under the overturned nest.

Children understand this truth, so how could Zhuge Ke not understand it?

Lu Yi even dared to set up a trap for Duke Gu, which led to His Majesty thinking of changing the Prime Minister.

If this person really wants to attack the prince, who knows whether he will be tricked into replacing the prince in the end?

To put it bluntly, the prince's biological mother was too humble, and his adoptive mother was sent back to her hometown by His Majesty.

Anyone who can really guarantee that the crown prince's status is as secure as Mount Tai is either extremely stupid or has ulterior motives.

Otherwise, why would His Highness often say in public that he is willing to give up the position of Crown Prince to Sun He, the third prince's son?

As soon as he thought about this, Zhuge Ke comforted Sun Deng and said:

"Your Highness, don't be anxious. In my opinion, Lu Yi's actions were probably just his own actions. There must be no one else behind him."

"Why?"

"Your Highness, think about it, who has the ability to threaten Your Highness's position as Crown Prince now? Only the Third Prince has one ear."

The second prince, Sun Lu, had just been named the general of the army two years ago, and he died before he was even named king.

"Since the third prince is only over ten years old and is very close to His Highness, it is impossible for Lu Yi to seek the crown prince position for the third prince, right?"

"Besides, how can your Majesty abolish the elders and establish younger ones, only to disrupt the foundation of the country?"

His Majesty's legitimate wife was originally Mrs. Xie, but Mrs. Xie died young and later married Mrs. Xu as his first wife.

Who would have expected that Mrs. Xu would be sent back to her hometown in the end.

Until now, His Majesty has never appointed a queen.

Therefore, in terms of status, there is no distinction between high and low among all princes, only the order of eldest and youngest.

At most, it just depends on which mother is favored.

Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to depose the crown prince, you must first enthrone the queen.

When His Majesty proclaimed himself emperor, he wanted to appoint the Bu family as his queen, but the officials insisted on appointing the Xu family.

The matter of the queen has been delayed and undecided.

Therefore, the matter of granting the title of empress is a very important matter. It is not a private matter of the royal family, and not even His Majesty can decide it with a single word.

How could a mere Lu Yi easily shake the crown prince's position?

"I believe that this is a private matter for Lu Yi, and no one else should instigate it."

After thinking about this, Zhuge Ke said to Sun Deng, "Wuchang was originally the place where His Highness was guarding. His Highness has repeatedly written letters to advise His Majesty not to reuse Lu Yi."

"As for General Pan Taichang, who is far away in Wuchang, he is also with His Highness. In Lu Yi's opinion, he was ordered by His Highness."

"Therefore, this is the reason why Lu Yi framed the people around His Highness."

It’s not like Sun Deng didn’t think of this:

"Even so, we cannot let such villains deceive Your Majesty, otherwise in the long run, I am afraid that all the ministers in the court will be alienated."

Zhuge Ke pondered for a while, then shook his head:

"His Royal Highness and the General have written several times, but it is difficult to change His Majesty's opinion of this person, which shows that he has won His Majesty's trust."

"Suddenly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake his position in His Majesty's heart. I can only try to do it slowly."

When Sun Deng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed:

"Don't Yuan Xun have any good ideas?"

Zhuge Ke smiled calmly:

"Lv Yi is a villain with no roots and no foundation. He can be a powerful person in front of all the ministers, but he only relies on His Majesty's cronies."

"Even though this person is extremely arrogant now, if there comes a day when Your Majesty becomes suspicious of him, that will be the day when his body and head are separated."

Sun Deng sighed:

"How difficult is it?"

"It's not difficult!" Zhuge Ke shook his head, his eyes flashing coldly, "Lu Yi's power and fortune all depend on your majesty. If we can find a way to alienate your majesty from this villain, it will be easy for us to punish him."

"How to distance yourself?"

"First, someone must dare to face His Majesty Chen, point out what Lu Yi did to his face, and persuade His Majesty to investigate what Lu Yi did. Otherwise, no matter how much we do, we will not be able to do anything to this person."

Sun Deng frowned more and more:

"When it comes to the most important people in the court, no one is more important than the General and I. We have written many times, but we can't convince His Majesty, let alone others?"

Zhuge Ke laughed:

"Your Highness, it is precisely because you are a member of the court that I cannot speak to Your Majesty."

"Think about it, Your Highness, Your Majesty ordered Lu Yi to be appointed as the Colonel of Zhongshu Dian, just to supervise all officials."

"Now that hundreds of officials have written to impeach Lu Yi, doesn't it mean that Lu Yi is a good supervisor?"

"Therefore, if there are so many people who have submitted the letter, I am afraid that Lu Yi will be more trusted by His Majesty!"

When Sun Deng heard this, he suddenly realized and slapped his thigh:

"This is so true! I didn't think of this level!"

As he said this, he looked at Zhuge Ke and praised: "Yuan Xun, I'm lucky to have you!"

Zhuge Ke smiled smugly, naturally he would not say that he had just figured this out.

I just heard him continue:

"Your Highness, so the person who is to meet Your Majesty, not only cannot be a minister of the court, but he cannot even be a local official."

The position of Zhongshu Dianlang not only supervises all central government officials, but also local prefectures and counties. It may seem like a lowly position, but in fact it has great power.

"So, people like this are probably hard to find!"

Even among hundreds of officials, many people will be frightened when facing His Majesty alone.

Not to mention that if you speak out about Lu Yi's mistakes, you will most likely be retaliated by Lu Yi.

Therefore, this person must not only be bold, but also must not be afraid of death.

Lu Yi is favored by His Majesty. If he wants to persuade His Majesty, he must be eloquent.

To put it nicely, it means being eloquent; to put it unpleasantly, it means being eloquent and charming.

Thinking of sweet words...

Sun Deng shook his head quickly and focused his attention on the matter in front of him.

I dare to face His Majesty directly, I am not afraid of life or death, I am not afraid of Lu Yi's revenge, and I cannot be an official, so I can only look for him among the people.

But where can such people be found among the people?!

The old man doesn't even know how to write his own name, let alone expect them to make any sense.

He even discussed the principles of governing the country in front of His Majesty.

It seems that Zhuge Liang was the one who recruited the clever talker from among the people, and even before he became an official, he had already made plans to pacify Nanzhong...

Really annoying!

So annoying!

He had obviously found a way to solve the problem, but he got stuck on a key figure, which immediately made Sun Deng irritated:

"Is there really nothing we can do against such villains?"

"If we can't find it, others may not be able to find it."

Zhuge Ke said calmly.

"who?!"

Sun Deng asked quickly.

"Yangba."

"he?"

Sun Deng looked suspicious and looked at Zhuge Ke, his eyes flashing.

"Yes, that's him."

Zhuge Ke nodded and affirmed:

"Yangqi is known to the world for his ability to discern people. If he can discover talented people among the people and recommend them to your majesty, your majesty will not have any doubts."

At this point, Zhuge Ke showed a sneer on his face, "If such an intelligent man speaks out about Lu Yi's mistakes, what do you think His Majesty will think?"

how to think?

After all, this talented man was discovered from the people. Now even the people know that Lu Yi is a ruthless villain. How can your Majesty still keep it in the dark?

"Wonderful!"

Sun Deng's thigh was already painful from the slap, and his face was filled with joy, "This is a great plan!"

But Sun Deng gritted his teeth and continued:

"Yuan Xun is right. Yang Di really knows people. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to him. If he doesn't agree, I will beg him until he agrees."

Zhuge Ke smiled slightly and said confidently:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, he will definitely agree."

Since you dare to speak out about the mistakes of everyone in the East Palace many times, and you want to be an upright person who dares to speak out, then you can't back down from things like sharing worries for the country, right?

Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that he is a hypocritical person with a good reputation?
