Lan Yuan looked at the confused King Xu, put his bamboo fan aside, and then admonished him: "The lower official saw that the fortune of the Liu Party was booming, and Yan Wen used a trick to appease the ministers. Since his breath was slightly restrained, there must be no one who cherishes his life in the capital. There are only a few. The prince and others alone cannot overthrow the government. This is because Sun Weigao has lost his mind and is betting on you."
"But the emperor treats me well..."
"No, even if you bring your own troops to the capital, the Liu Party can organize a fighting force. How can they compete with you?" Lan Yuan spread his hands and said, "To be honest, the East Palace will probably be doomed."
King Xu frowned, bit his finger, and sighed in surprise: "Are you asking me to report the emperor's brother? Can't we have the best of both worlds?"
Lan Yuan gave a bitter smile: "Your Highness, who made the prince so unstable that he would do such a thing. For the sake of the country and the country, please stop behaving like a woman."
When he heard the word "Yumai", his heart trembled slightly. This was a clear plan for him to inherit the throne. He was subconsciously aware of the danger of this statement, and wanted to refute it, but he swallowed it along with the saliva, and he did not have the courage to suppress a certain trend in his heart.
"Then...Lan Shidu, how do you want to report?" King Xu asked hesitantly.
"Liu Zhennian is too suspicious. If he directly tells the prince's plot, he will be suspicious of him in the future, and he will definitely be killed," Lan Yuan said calmly, "It is better to express his loyalty to Liu Dang first, and wait until the prince turns around. Lu, it’s not too late to report again.”
"What's the plan now?" King Xu had no choice but to continue asking him.
"Tell the envoy that you need to be very careful about the mutiny. If you don't see Dong Gong in person, you don't dare to make an appointment rashly."
"Okay!" King Xu slapped the table, "I will follow your words."
The envoy stood on tiptoe and looked far away, and suddenly saw King Xu coming with a confident look. He was surprised and happy, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Has His Highness King Xu made the decision?"
"My heart of being loyal to the army and serving the country can be learned from heaven. But," King Xu said, putting his hand on the envoy's shoulder and patting it lightly, "This is a feat that shocked the past and brightened the present. If something goes wrong, everything will be lost. Unless the emperor meets with me, I will always be suspicious and uneasy."
Although the envoy felt that there was a polite refusal in this, he thought on second thought, "He has lived outside the capital for a long time and does not know our details, so what he said is correct." Then he nodded and said: "Your Highness has his own difficulties, I understand. I will report this to Lord Sun and hope for good news."
"Go, go!"
Sun Weigao's footsteps were very hurried. He walked from the official office to the cobblestone aisle, walked another section of bluestone slabs, and slowly arrived in front of a palace. As soon as the left foot was raised and stepped on the threshold, it slowly stopped.
"knew."
Sun Weigao turned around, listened to the messenger's words, waved his hand, picked up his belt a few times, and went in.
"Sun Weigao, the academician of Hanlin Academy, comes to pay homage to Your Highness!"
"Sun Hanlin, please get up." The prince quickly supported him, "I wonder what King Xu and my brother are thinking?"
"Your Highness," Sun Weigao dusted off the ashes on his knees, "King Xu is also willing to kill the traitors and help the country with me. However, he wants to meet you before he is willing to give up."
The prince clapped his hands and said: "God help me! Since he is helping me from outside, why worry about Liu's party counterattack! If you want to see me, you might as well set off to go there today."
Sun Weigao was horrified, and kowtowed again: "Your Highness, you must never give up your precious body. Kuang Yanwen has a vicious mind. If you know that Your Highness suddenly speaks out of the capital, you will be vigilant and your strategy will be revealed! It is better to borrow a trick to be more comprehensive." "
After hearing this, the prince pondered deeply and sat back on the chair again.
"You can have someone falsely report that there is an auspicious sign in the nearby state, and ask the East Palace to go and see it on behalf of the emperor. When you get to Prince Xu's residence, you can have a secret conversation with him, and Yan Wen will not notice it."
The prince felt that he was justified and looked at Sun Weigao: "Well, then there is Mr. Lao."
Sun Weigao agreed and slowly exited the hall. The door of the hall was slightly closed, leaving only darkness.
"Open the door."
A dark figure stood out, pushed open the door of the Yamen, and saw Wei Chong coming.
"Secretary Office of Wei, how is the tone of Yue Mansion?" asked his useless clerk.
"No!" Wei Chong sighed, "If I really want to make a move on Qi Zi, I still have to think carefully."
"Let's do it," the clerk bent over and said with a flattering smile, "Nanjing cannot be without Qi Zi, and it cannot be without you. This is a truth that many adults are well aware of."
"Rabbits will eat grass on the edge of their nests when they are anxious. If the calculation is really wrong and Lu Fangxuan is offended, we will have no choice but to stay under the hands of King Wanjun." Wei Chong said.
"It's good to give him a showdown and see what you can do. You don't necessarily have to end up like Ma Si and his gang."
Wei Chong stamped his foot: "Then I will go find the county prince."
"What do you want?" Wan Heshun asked, sitting upright.
"I want to arrest Chen Tong, the counselor of Yue Mansion, and ask the prince to write a document and stamp it, so that I can become a famous teacher."
"Get a pen and paper."
Wan Heshun spread out the white paper, ground the ink, took out his pen, turned around and asked, "Wei Chong, what is the best thing to write?"
"The villain has already been convicted of the crime, so we will arrest him on the pretext of 'in order to curry favor with the superior Qi Zi, use the stolen money of corruption, hold banquets every year, and use tens of thousands of taels, and the crime will be punished severely.'" Wei Chong pointed to the picture. White paper, Chao Wan Heshun said with a smile.
"Okay!" Wan Heshun laughed loudly, "I have prepared these words. It seems that you have lived up to me! I have to write this word to you!"
Wan Heshun wrote it word for word, then stamped it with a seal, tore it off, and handed it to Wei Chong: "Keep it a secret. Let me take care of this!"
Wei Chong kowtowed in thanks, stuffed the note into his arms, and left the mansion under the escort of Wanfu's servants. When he looked around the street, he missed two big men enjoying the shade under a tree, staring closely at his direction.
"Go to Wanfu?!"
Zheng Shiyan stood up in surprise, "I had known that he was coming with bad intentions. He had been arranged by thousands of thieves."
"Keep watching him!" the officer next to him ordered.
"yes."
"Everyone, please don't leave. Stay a little longer and deal with new situations at any time." Zheng Shiyan ordered quickly when he saw that it was getting late and everyone was a little tired.
The western clock rang, half an hour had passed.
"Report!! Wei Chong and his Yamen soldiers have marched towards our house!"
After hearing this, all the officials looked at each other in disbelief and let out a heavy breath.
"If he goes to consult Chen to make trouble, it will be difficult for us to handle it!" someone said happily.
"What if he uses a trick to trick us all, then..."
"What did you say?"
"Shengdong..."
"Report!"
Another soldier trotted over from the hall: "Wei Chong turned around and headed towards... Xiang Qi, the commander-in-chief!"
As soon as these words came out, the officers started to make a loud noise. There was a noise inside and outside the hall, and an uneasy atmosphere enveloped Yue Mansion.
