Du Heng was even more puzzled: "If Lord Long Live doesn't trust them, he can just execute Concubine Li and Princess Linglong privately and pave the way for Prince Hui. How can he let Princess Linglong interfere with the matter of establishing the heir apparent?"
"Long Live Lord can naturally execute Concubine Li and Princess Linglong, but as I said just now, Prince Huijun is respectful, filial and benevolent. Concubine Li has been banned for so many years. Every New Year and Concubine Li's birthday, Prince Huijun will go to Yuqing Palace. Kowtowing to say hello outside shows the kindness and filial piety. If Long Live Lord really kills Concubine Li and her daughter, Prince Huijun may be resentful of Long Live Lord." Lu Zhishan said calmly, "And don't you think that as a candidate for the crown prince? "Is Prince Hui too soft-hearted? This is not the way to be a king."
Du Heng was startled: "Long Live Lord, are you trying to use Princess Linglong's hand to end Concubine Li?"
"No," Lu Zhishan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Long Live Master wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Prince Hui's problem with being a woman."
Du Heng was puzzled: "I still don't understand very well. Please give me some advice, general."
"Since Princess Linglong understands Long live Master's thoughts, according to her temperament, she naturally cannot sit still. Even if Prince Hui does not agree, she will not sit idly by. Sooner or later, she will take action against Concubine Li," Lu Zhishan said calmly, stroking the tea cup, "When that time comes, Lord Long Live will definitely hand over Princess Linglong to Prince Hui. What do you think King Hui will do then? Lord Long Live this move is really good. It’s really accurate and ruthless.”
Du Heng was dumbfounded and took a breath: "Long live Lord, this... is forcing King Huijun to kill his own sister!"
Lu Zhishan didn't speak again and took a sip of tea. Then he said to Du Heng: "There should be news coming from southern Xinjiang in the past few days. Please pay more attention."
"Yes, I obey." Du Heng responded, but he was still sitting on the stool stupidly, holding a tea cup in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhishan raised his eyelids and asked him.
"General, if it is as you expected, will Prince Hui take action against Princess Linglong?" Du Heng asked Lu Zhishan.
"It depends on whether he wants to be the prince." Lu Zhishan said calmly.

The sixth day of April in the 28th year of Jiasheng
A small group of Siamese troops came to harass the southern border of Dali again. Since the First World War in Hue, the Siamese army has been arrogant. Such attacks actually occur three or four times a year. However, they were suppressed by the imperial court in the past. The southern Xinjiang army They have always tolerated it, so the armies of the two countries have never had a direct conflict. The Siamese have become more and more domineering and complacent. In the past two years, dozens of Siamese soldiers have dared to cross the border to plunder, but this time this small group of fifty-eight people The Siamese troops were killed by the southern Xinjiang army as soon as they crossed the border.

"Zhou Chi, I heard something happened at the border?" Zhou Ran hurried out of the backyard and rushed to Zhou Chi's study in the front yard, "What on earth is going on?"
"Eldest sister, why are you here?" Zhou Chi frowned and looked at Zhou Ran who came in holding his waist. He was so busy that he put down the report in his hand and was about to help Zhou Ran sit down when he saw Liu Changsheng also hurried in. , holding a thick cloak in his hand, he came in and put it on Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran has not yet given birth, and Liu Changsheng is not willing to let Zhou Ran come and go like this, but something big happened in southern Xinjiang, and Zhou Ran cannot sit still, so Liu Changsheng has no choice but to wait on him.
