"He wouldn't." Lu Qing was quite confident about this, his tone very certain. "If he wanted to directly murder his father and usurp the throne, there would be no need to make such a grand display of blocking the Capital from the outside under the guise of 'defending the king'.
All this elaborate maneuvering is nothing more than a ploy to both scheme and lay claim to some so-called righteousness, so right now, he wants to force others to act impulsively and jump out to take the blame for him."
Hearing this, Zhu Yu understood: "So now he wants to put people outside in a dilemma.
If they ignore it and let him besiege the Capital, there's a worry he might take the opportunity to harm the Holy Emperor.
But if they attack, it might just play into Lu Ze's hands, and they'll end up being branded as traitors colluding with external enemies."
