Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 172 This is to threaten the emperor to control the princes

Lu Jimei was woken up by being strangled, staring blankly at the man in front of her. "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

"Su Mingjin."

Lu Jimei was horrified, "Remnants of the former royal family! What do you want to do?"

Su Mingjin was dressed in brocade clothes, looking like a graceful and elegant young man. "Don't panic, Mr. Lu. Your father is dead. The Lu family has been controlled by Ning Zhiwei and Rong Jing. If you stay in the Lu family, there is only one way, death."

Lu Jimei's expression kept changing. He knew that Ning Zhiwei was too powerful, but he didn't expect that his father was no match for her.

It is undeniable that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news of his father's death. The mountain that was pressing on his head finally fell.

"so what?"

Su Mingjin looked at his opponent from his previous life with mixed feelings. Lu Jimei was not a strong enemy, but he had a sister who was willing to sacrifice herself.

Relying on repeated marriages and annexing other rivals, it gradually grew stronger.

"I want to cooperate with Master Lu. I will help you take back Mingzhou. Of the thirteen counties in Mingzhou, you will take six and I will take four."

Just to take over Mingzhou? Lu Jimei's heart moved, "Why should I cooperate with a traitor? If the court knew, neither you nor I would be in trouble."

Saying this showed that he was already moved. Su Mingjin's lips curled up slightly. How could a person who had rebelled in his previous life be loyal?

"You are the eldest son of the Lu family, don't you have any ambitions? The court is rotten to the point of being in a mess. As soon as the new emperor came to power, one of the four great ministers died, and soon there will be a second one. The important officials in the court are fighting for power and have no time to care about other things. Now is the time for us to make great plans."

Lu Jimei gasped, "You want to rebel?"

Su Mingjin's tone was extremely bewitching. "We rebelled together. I will help you seize the world, but you must make me the King of One Shoulder, a hereditary title that will never be reduced. The Lu and Su families will share the world."

If he helped Lu Jimei unconditionally, Lu Jimei would naturally not believe it. However, when he offered such conditions, Lu Jimei was immediately moved.

Are there any special breeds of kings, princes, generals and ministers? The throne is passed down from generation to generation, so why can't the Lu family take turns?

"You are a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, so you should be quite capable. Why don't you do it yourself?"

Su Mingjin's expression darkened. "Two hundred years have passed. People have long forgotten the Jiang Dynasty. People's hearts are not on my side. The most important thing is that my Su family has everything except an army, while the Lu family has one."

Mingzhou has always been the territory of the Lu family, and the army is under the control of the Lu family. As the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Jimei is absolutely qualified to take command.

Lu Jimei suddenly understood. So that's the reason. No wonder. How could they rebel without an army?

"How can I believe you?"

Su Mingjin had already figured it out. "This is easy. Let's arrange a marriage. I heard that your sister is very smart. I sincerely want to marry her."

In his previous life, he also had a brief romance with Miss Lu, so he was not considered an outsider.

Mingzhou is merely his stepping stone, a starting point. When Mingzhou completely becomes his, he will aim at the whole world and complete the great cause of restoring the country.

Lu Jimei then remembered her sister, her face changed, "Ah, my sister is still trapped in it."

Su Mingjin clapped his hands, the door opened, and a graceful girl walked in, "Brother."

It was Miss Lu. Lu Jimei was overjoyed and took her arm to look at her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Miss Lu smiled lightly, walked to Su Mingjin gracefully, and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Su, for rescuing my brother and me. It's a great favor. I am willing to repay you with my life."

Su Mingjin personally helped her up, and the two looked at each other, confirming that they were the same type of people, ambitious people.

At the Lu family, Ning Zhiwei took control of the situation at the first time. She did not kill other people from the Lu family, but just locked them up.

The women were also locked up together, leaving the men behind.

"Don't worry, everyone. As long as you listen to me, I won't kill many people. What if the court blames you?"

She said it with a smile, but even a fool could hear the threat in her words.

An official said tremblingly, "Princess Jingning, you were forced to rebel. It was Marshal Lu who was not a human being. You deserve to be killed."

Everyone said in unison, "Yes, it was Marshal Lu who forced her to marry him. He even dared to lay his hands on the Princess of Jingning County. He is so arrogant that he has no regard for the law or the court. He deserves to be put to death."

A wealthy businessman nodded desperately, "Yes, yes, we can all testify for you."

Ning Zhiwei nodded in satisfaction. "Hearing everyone say this, I am both happy and nervous. I am happy to have so many people supporting me, but I am also afraid that the court will not believe me. What should I do?"

Rong Jing said calmly, "That's easy. Write down what happened just now, have everyone sign as witnesses, and submit the case file."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes lit up, "Good idea."

"Leave it to me." Rong Jing was calm and composed, without any murderous intent from before. "I am best at handling and judging cases."

"it is good."

The two of them talked it over and finally settled the matter.

Just when everyone was secretly relieved, Ning Zhiwei suddenly spoke up, "Oh, right, Master Lu was abducted by the remnants of the previous dynasty. According to my deduction, the remnants of the previous dynasty are trying to threaten the emperor to control the princes and aim for military and political power."

"In order to prevent the army from being coerced into rebellion, please hand over your military tokens and official seals to me for safekeeping."

The officials looked unhappy, "This..." These are their lives and property, how can they be handed over to others to deal with.

The commander of the Youth Battalion, Dongsheng, sneered, "My lord, why waste time talking to them? Just take it away. The old thief Lu did such a shameful thing tonight. I don't believe they didn't know about it beforehand. Many of them are his trusted aides."

Today, the battalion commander of the youth camp, Dongsheng, has three deputy battalion commanders, Chunsheng, Xiasheng, and Qiusheng, each leading a small team.

This team was trained by Ning Zhiwei herself. They are her trusted followers and they always rush to the front.

The officials all cried out, "Princess Jingning, I really had no idea. I just thought it was a welcoming banquet."

"I also thought it was a welcoming banquet. I didn't know anything beforehand. I am wronged."

Dong Sheng looked at everyone coldly, "Then use the military token and official seal to prove it."

The room was silent. You looked at me, I looked at you, but neither of us said anything or took any action. We were in a stalemate.

Without saying anything, Dongsheng grabbed the commander of Mingzhou Guard, Lü Fu, and pointed his sword at him, "Hand it over? Or not?"

Lü Fu was a member of the Lü clan, and a close confidant of Marshal Lü. He was usually arrogant and domineering, but now that a sword was placed on his neck, he was trembling with fear, "Jingning County Lady, help me."

Ning Zhiwei's expression was as warm as spring. "Everyone, I have a good temper, but my subordinates are a group of impetuous young men. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Everyone: ...You call this a good temper? One plays the good cop, the other plays the bad cop, can't they see that?
