"This..." King Xu did not dare to look into the prince's eyes and wiped his sweat, "Of course my brother is willing to kill powerful officials together with my brother, there is no reason to refuse."
After hearing this, the prince laughed and patted his arm: "Brother Wang, this is so happy! Let me take a sip of tea and tell you in detail, so that you don't have to worry so much."
He walked to the table and poured a bowl of tea, put the bowl lid aside, and said: "I have thought about it again and again. In the entire palace, there are only five battalions of forbidden troops that are not affected by Liu's party. The five imperial guards are all personally appointed by your majesty. The minister did not interfere. Today, Si Jin has been on a far-reaching patrol from his father. Yan Wen must have relaxed his guard because there were few soldiers in the ban. On the day of the incident, Sun Hanlin pretended to send an edict and summoned the Si Jin to the East Palace to discuss matters; I took the lead. The guards blocked their retreat, and ordered Yushi Zhanghan to declare the Liu Party's rebellion, forcing them to jointly impeach the Liu gang. In this way, even though they were greedy for life and fearful of death, they had no choice but to fight bloody battles."
"What about me?" King Xu asked.
"Brother Wang heard the banging sound at the second watch, so he came to answer the call." The prince drank the tea calmly, looking very confident.
King Xu's heart pounded uneasily. This plan was too naive. He secretly planned an escape route and smiled reluctantly: "Brother Wang has a careful plan, but my foolish brother dares not to obey orders."
"Then how about asking King Xu to go out with me to hunt for a day to relax your mind?" The prince breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and asked.
"Brother Rong, prepare your bow and arrows. Your Highness can go and wait first. I will be out in a moment." The two of them bowed each other. King Xu watched the prince leave from the front door, then turned around and entered the back room, and hurriedly called the servant to call Lan Yuan.
"Mr. Lan, I see that the prince's words are rash, and Sun Hanlin and others are only full of enthusiasm and have no real plan. This uprising will undoubtedly fail. I hope you can teach me how to save my life." King Xu raised his hand and asked.
Lan Yuan said: "Your Highness should send someone with gold and silver treasures to present to the people in charge of the Liu Party, so that they can praise you for your kindness in front of Yan Shenzheng; and then secretly report to Yan Wen about the prince's rebellion, and everything will be done. .”
"There is no evidence, I'm afraid Yan Wen doesn't want to believe it."
"The evidence is easy to find. Didn't the prince go hunting today? His Highness asked him for an arrow and delivered it then..." Lan Yuan left some mercy for King Xu, so he stopped talking.
King Xu hid his face and sighed, and then said after a long time: "As Mr. Lan said, I will bring out a few large boxes of silver for you to use."
The prince's conspiracy has not yet reached Liu Dang's ears, and Liu Zhennian himself is only concentrating on the situation in Donkey Skin Lane. And Yan Liang, who has a heavy responsibility, is also very difficult to handle. He could neither let Liu Dang stay here and leave Wan Heshun alone; nor could he let Lu Fangxuan escape unscathed, he would have to peel off their skins and retaliate.
Yan Liang thought for a while, this first point is the most important. Now he can only use some ruthless tactics to seek a quick victory. At the worst, he will let the Lu Party get away with it, and both sides will just pretend that nothing happened.
He thought he had a plan, so he ordered his companion: "Lu Fangxuan has returned to Yue Mansion, and Qi Zi alone cannot control the situation. You can call him to discuss, and at the same time recruit a few people to make trouble on the way to create public sentiment." The angry situation must be loud and extremely tense. After that, you don't have to worry about it, just sit here and listen to what I say to that guy."
I didn't know what he was thinking, so I muttered a little, but didn't dare to refute, so I took the order.
When Qi Zi heard the envoy explaining his purpose, he felt an aura of danger. He was on guard in his heart. He smiled and said, "Let's go now." He received a seal from the Yue Mansion, which was left to him by Lu Fangxuan, and then rushed out the door quickly, riding alongside the envoy.
Qi Zi lived at the end of the alley, but Yan Liang, on the contrary, set up his temporary official office at the end of the alley, and there was still a long way to go. The further Qi Zi walked, the narrower the intersection became. He gradually began to talk more and more, and his eyes began to look around to guess what Yan Liang was planning to do next.
They kept walking, and the alley seemed to be clean and nothing happened from beginning to end. Just as Qi Zi's tension was slowly relaxing, suddenly a dozen shabby-looking people came in front of him, shouting and walking towards him, shouting: "Where is the Duke of Yue?! What! You came up with the idea, but why has the person disappeared and the land deed has not been issued? You have to give us an explanation, and we will feel sorry for the neighbors!"
These people shouted in panic, kicked over the vegetable stall next to them, glared angrily, and rushed toward Qi Zi like a pack of evil wolves. Qi Zi was startled and was about to draw his sword. When he saw the envoy standing in front of him, he shouted: "You people, don't be impatient. Mr. Lu has his own difficulties! People, please take your time and we will definitely deal with it properly." We can prevent this Donkey Skin Lane from getting into trouble."
"Let him speak!" The leading people roared at Qi Zi, "He belongs to Mr. Lu!"
Qi Zi became anxious and cursed: "You bunch of unruly people, who the hell are you! How dare you yell at me?"
"You guy...!" The common people all blushed and tried to pull Qi Zi away. The horses were so frightened that they kicked and neighed wildly.
"You all speak up, speak up." The envoy sent by Yan Liang stopped him gently, and the group of people's anger subsided, and they actually stood there honestly and complained to him: "We are all common people in Donkey Skin Lane, and Those death row criminals all have friendships. Now that the imperial court has given a great favor to settle the alley, we are very grateful. Who would have thought that Mr. Lu later arrived and had to get some kind of land deed. As a result, after several days, the land deed was still missing. "Distribution, people in this alley are very anxious, and there are even rumors that those condemned criminals were killed unjustly, so the gentlemen dare not speak out and want to put this matter away!"
Qi Zi looked at them coldly and saw that they were very angry with Liu's party members, and he secretly suspected that there was something fishy about it.
"The land deed will be issued today, so don't panic!" the messenger said hurriedly.
The group of people refused to listen and blocked the road. The leader shouted: "I hope the court will give me an explanation. The land deed will not be restored today. There is no need to deceive!"
"Yeah, don't lie to us..."
The envoy looked anxious, broke into the crowd of people, and hurried to Yan Liang's official office with Qi Zi in tow. When the people saw it, they picked up stones one after another, hoping that they would hit them with crackling sounds, like a hailstorm, breaking the walls and doors. The messenger hurriedly shrank his head, pulled Qi Zi inside, and closed the door tightly.
"Look, if no one takes the blame, a civil uprising will really happen!" The sound of pebbles outside the door was still ringing, and Yan Liang pretended to be sad and walked up and down the hall.
"What do you want to discuss with me?" Qi Zi came to the court and asked.
"Looking for you?" Yan Liang asked sharply, "Looking for your master!"
"What do you mean by this?" Qi Zi didn't show any weakness and replied forcefully.
