Ye Yongjia and Cai Xianqing looked at each other, then smiled reassuringly and nodded: "Then say it as soon as possible."
Cui Yi then said: "We should send someone to persuade King Yi to enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor. Now the ministers hate King Yi like a bandit. When they see him coming, they will definitely be panicked and dare not wait for a long time. Once they panic, It will force the officials to submit the impeachment report early... In this way, Chen Thief's plan can be easily defeated."
"What a great idea!" After hearing this, Cai Xianqing slammed the table excitedly, "Master Ye, will you inform Mr. Shuzhai now?"
Ye Yongjia responded softly, and then sent his confidants to the palace to inform Liu Shuzhai of the plan. Shuzhai obeyed one by one, then came to King Yi's study and took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Ye Bingbu requests you to come to the palace to meet the saint to assist them."
"Oh?" King Yi put down the book and moved the coal lamp in front of him, "I haven't asked you for many days. What happened in the palace?"
Liu Xunzhai reported truthfully: "In order to restart the New Deal, they incited the ministers to be angry with you, induced them to write a letter of impeachment, and angered the emperor. But that thief Chen is smart, he can't recuperate at home, and he doesn't make decisions. So, they plan to Let you stir up the situation." After saying that, he looked directly at King Yi.
King Yi frowned slightly, lifted up the jade belt on his waist, and answered very happily: "The situation is urgent, I will leave immediately. Mr. Shuzhai, please quickly call the servants to prepare the sedan."
"You...agree?" Liu Xizhai took two steps forward, with surprise and confusion in his eyes.
"What? You hope I don't agree?" King Yi touched his chin and showed the same expression as him.
"Your Highness!"
Liu Xunzhai suddenly fell to his knees, grabbed the legs of the chair, and nodded to him: "I'm putting you on the stove to roast! How could you not be on guard! Think again!"
King Yi stood up, gritted his teeth in worry, and said: "Sir, you have always supported Ye Bingbu, what happened today? Could it be that Master Ye has the intention to harm me? It is simply inexplicable!"
Liu Xunzhai had no choice but to restrain his excitement and said calmly: "Your Highness, the reason why the Ye Party supports you is entirely for their New Deal considerations. How can they be loyal to you? In their eyes, you are just a pawn in the party struggle. If not, The value of utilization can be discarded at any time.”
King Yi sighed deeply: "Sir, if that's true, why didn't you say it earlier? I still remember how many good things you said for Ye Tinglong. Why did you change your mind in such an instant?"
Liu Xunzhai pointed at his heart and burst into tears: "Because my sincerity is always towards His Highness. At first, I saw that he was upright and aboveboard, so I trusted him personally; but since the Lan Yuan case, his true face has been completely unable to be concealed. ”
"For the sake of his own achievements, he did not hesitate to move you to the front of the stage and bear the criticism of the officials; I regarded him as a friend earlier and didn't care about it, but the subsequent developments have led you step by step into the abyss... ...Your Highness, the power of decision-making does not lie with Ye Bingbu, but with you! How can you let them manipulate you!"
King Yi looked displeased and rolled his sleeves and said: "If you are so timid like Mr., when will I achieve great success? Even if I am hated by millions of people, it is a common thing. Why should I be afraid of it? What's more, he, Ye Yongjia, wants to implement a new policy. The confidence does not lie with him, but with me alone! I have made up my mind, sir, don't give me any advice!" After saying that, he avoided Shuzhai's obstruction, took his robe, and went down the steps.
Before Xu Zhai could recover, he saw King Yi come back and ordered him: "In addition, I will no longer sit in the sedan chair. I will ride on a horse instead, so that the people in the court can open their eyes and see my king's face clearly!"
Suddenly there was a bright light on the imperial bridge at night. King Yi, with five or six followers, slowly reined in their horses and walked slowly to the tower of the main gate, waving upwards. The guards shined their lamps downwards, and couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding. They all swallowed their saliva and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"What, what?" A soldier couldn't help but ask, "It's so late, it must be no small matter."
Another person asked tentatively: "How about pretending not to know each other?"
"You're stupid!" the officer slapped him hard on the head and shouted in a low voice, "King Yi has been here countless times, and every time he didn't come through our place? He was riding such a high horse, and there were many torches around him. Who believes it?"
"Is there anyone at the city gate..."
Hearing the urging at the door, the officer became even more anxious. He immediately walked back and forth a few times and then said: "Let's do this. I'll go to the East Palace to report urgently. You guys talk to him first. Remember, you are not allowed to open the door without permission before I come. , otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!"
The soldiers nodded, and when they saw the officer running down the city, they walked to the wall one by one, pretended to look around carefully, and asked loudly: "Who is here?"
"Are you blind?" King Yi pointed at them with the tip of his whip, "You can't see that I am here!"
"I saw it, I saw it... I wonder why you came here?"
King Yi responded: "It's just that I haven't been here for a long time, so I came here to see my father!"
"What!"
When the prince heard the officer's report, he immediately threw away the quilt, grabbed the gold-embroidered pillow and sat up, his sleepy eyes widening.
"He's not planning a mutiny, is he?" the prince asked in horror.
The officer kowtowed and said, "I don't think he has the courage. I think it has something to do with Lu Tingci's participation that day."
"Yes, join in, join in..." The prince muttered and pondered, "In this case, I will send someone to inform the ministers and let them think of a way for me."
The officer was stunned for a while, and then admonished: "As a warrior, I really don't know anything. But now that the government has no backbone, if you don't give me your own opinion, I'm afraid..."
After hearing this, the prince felt ashamed. He suppressed his blush and cursed: "I told you to do as ordered. This is my opinion! If you feel it is not enough, I will tell you one more thing: Never let King Yi enter the palace." !”
The officer Weiwei said yes and immediately left the East Palace and went to Zhongshu Province to report his rebellion.
At this time, many important ministers were in the province, and they were all shocked when they heard what they heard. None of them had any big plans. Su Zongshan was also a person without any ideas. Seeing that everyone could not come up with an idea, he hurriedly sent someone to summon all the ministers to discuss it, and only sent "Ye Dang" to the meeting. 'Excluded.
"Does this still need to be discussed?" After hearing this, Zeng Liang hurriedly said to everyone in the hall, "Once King Yi enters the palace and tells the emperor his lies, and we write a letter of impeachment, won't we all become treacherous officials and traitors!" Seize the opportunity and win the emperor's promise before then, then King Yi's conspiracy will not succeed!"
"Yes! We shouldn't wait for Mr. Chen anymore! We shouldn't wait anymore!" Most of the people agreed and shouted in unison. Only the people from Guoxiang kept their heads down and glanced at everyone's expressions with their peripheral vision. I was sweating coldly, and I didn't dare to utter a word.
