"It's just a joke, don't be offended." Qi Zi stepped forward and patted Wei Chong, "Where is the booklet you brought? Let me take a look."
Wei Chong knew that he wanted to take credit, so he took half a step back and said with a smile: "I have to present this redundant booklet to Yue Gong..."
Qi Zi frowned and approached with ill intentions: "Secretary Wei, you can't take the credit, right? Now that everything is peaceful, it's not easy for us officers to be officers. Please be considerate."
Wei Chong was so frightened that he had no choice but to reveal everything he had hidden in his heart in order to meet Lu Fangxuan.
"Get it together, you can take this booklet, but I still have the truth to report to Yue Gong. I wonder if you are willing to take me there?" He asked while handing over the roster.
Qi Zi glanced at Wei Chong with his peripheral vision: "What's the matter?"
Wei Chong lowered his head and did not answer. Seeing this, Qi Zi drove away all his subordinates, turned around and said to him, "Let's go to the house to talk."
"What!" Qi Zi stood up suddenly and opened his eyes angrily, "Wan Heshun dares to do this, he is so lawless!"
Seeing how surprised and unaware he was, Wei Chong stood up and said, "For such a big matter, we have to discuss it with Mr. Lu in person. Let's go."
Qi Zi didn't know the whole story and didn't dare to show off his ability, so he agreed and took him straight to Lu Fangxuan.
Lu Fangxuan was talking to Zheng Shiyan when Qi Zi came down from the hall, followed by Wei Chong, who knelt down in front of the steps. "Come up." He waved.
"Wan Dang wanted to take over Sihe Academy, so Wei Shuban came up with the idea." Qi Zi explained.
Zheng Shiyan said hurriedly: "Yue Gong already knew about it when he came before me."
Qi Zi looked shocked and wanted to say something to Lu Fangxuan, but suddenly fell silent.
"Secretary Office Wei, did you hear about it in the city?" Lu Fangxuan asked Wei Chong.
"The villain learned this from Magistrate Ye. He said that Wan Heshun is not allowed to speak out. It seems that Wan Dang is afraid of you." Wei Chong said.
"Oh?" Lu Fangxuan's eyes flickered, "The clerk wants to..."
Wei Chong said: "Yue Gong should fight for the academy with him. I am willing to serve as an internal agent and investigate the movements of the ten thousand parties!"
Lu Fangxuan and the two men touched each other and understood. He laughed and said: "Okay! I have a book office to serve as an internal response, and I am determined to win the academy! After the success is achieved, there will be gold and silver rewards. You can retreat first."
Wei Chong thought to himself: I won't give you this reward today, it's obviously to prevent me from betraying you. Thinking of this, he kowtowed angrily and led the way out through the small arch in front with a few sergeants.
"The time has come to add firewood and set the fire." Zheng Shiyan raised his head confidently.
Lu Fangxuan frowned: "It's true that this is a good opportunity. But the relationship with Wan Heshun may take a turn for the worse."
Qi Zi snorted contemptuously: "Wan Heshun is not a kind person and will break up with us sooner or later. It is better to strike first to avoid becoming someone else's enemy."
After hearing this, Lu Fangxuan clenched his fists deeply: "What the commander-in-chief said makes sense. In my opinion, we should lead the troops into the palace tonight and discuss the matter with the six ministers."
Zheng Shiyan said: "You must keep it secret. If the people know about it, we will not be justified, and the party will take advantage of it and frame it as a 'internal strife and hatred'."
"Oh, if you worry about this and that, nothing will happen!" Qi Zi shouted, "I hope Duke Lu will give the order immediately, and I will make preparations with my brothers right now."
"What a great ambition!" Lu Fangxuan sighed, and then ordered: "Commander Qi, you mobilize a thousand elite soldiers to follow me into the palace after the curfew; Commander Zheng, guard the rear and don't allow anyone to leak the information or disobey orders. Those who kill him will be killed.”
"Yes!" The two of them clasped their fists and went down to the hall.
The officer and soldier stood like a sculpture, his face flushed with cold, and he stared at the bright moon above the clouds for a long time with a stern face.
The watchman walked to the Lu Mansion and was banging the clapper.
It was louder. The officers and soldiers lowered their heads alertly, put down their guns, and shouted in lowered voices along the way: "It's the second watch! It's the second watch!" Some people who were sleeping suddenly woke up, quickly put on their armor and lined up in the courtyard.
The officers and soldiers entered the back room, opened the green curtain, and saw Qi Zi sitting on the bed, holding his head with one hand, his eyes wide open, like a cat, and he jumped down suddenly without feeling sleepy at all.
"Second watch." The officer pointed to the moon.
Qi Zi nodded solemnly, sent him out, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room.
Zheng Shiyan was pacing uneasily outside. When he saw Qi Zi coming in his military uniform, he hurriedly stopped him: "Commander Qi, be careful in everything and don't be reckless. If something happens outside, be sure to tell me and I will bring these soldiers." of."
Qi Zi patted his hands: "General Zheng, when have I ever had trouble, just be more at ease this time."
When Lu Fangxuan walked into the courtyard, Qi Zi and a thousand soldiers in black helmets knelt on the ground and shouted: "I will obey the order of Yue Gong!"
"Get up," Lu Fangxuan walked up to them and asked Qi Zi, "Commander Qi, I must go through the main entrance when I get to the palace. Where are your soldiers? Where should they go?"
"The soldiers guarding the palace city are almost all members of Wan Heshun. If I pass through the main gate, they will stop them with all their strength. There are few people at the side gate, so I only need to say some harsh words. Seeing that there are many people, they will naturally let me go. People entered the palace. I took advantage of the enemy's lack of strength to directly attack the official offices of the six ministries, catching all parties by surprise."
Lu Fangxuan greatly approved of it, and immediately followed his strategy, issued orders, led more than a thousand people out of the mansion, put on the lanterns of "Yue Gong's Mansion", and went to the palace.
When the watchmen on the street saw such an army suddenly coming out in the middle of the night, they threw away their clappers and ran in panic. In the end, they were all caught by the cavalry army, and Lieutenant Qi Zi was rewarded with all the rewards. Silver to seal the wind.
"We're here." Qi Zi held the horse's bridle and looked at the palace gate in the distance.
"Yeah." Lu Fangxuan didn't say much, flicked his riding whip, and rode up alone.
Qi Zi then turned his horse around and led his troops to the side gate, and for a while there was no trace of them.
The closer to the palace gate, the brighter the fire. The guards gradually saw Lu Fangxuan's face clearly and immediately became vigilant.
"Lu... Mr. Lu, you are not allowed to enter the palace during the curfew." The guard became a little timid.
"I have urgent matters to discuss with the adults of the six departments, and I beg you to let me in." Lu Fangxuan bowed on his horse.
The guards looked behind him, but no one was there, and they felt angry: "Master Lu, we act in accordance with military orders and don't dare to make arbitrary decisions."
Lu Fangxuan begged again: "This matter is urgent and we really can't delay it. Please let me in."
Seeing that he didn't have any soldiers, the guards spoke politely, thinking that it wouldn't be much of a hindrance for him to go in, so why bother to offend him. They laughed and said: "Master Lu is an important minister of the imperial court, and we can only respect him. If you insist on coming to the palace, how dare you little people stop you? Please come in, please come in!"
"Thank you very much." Before leaving, Lu Fangxuan showed a sinister smile.
