That night, Yan Fu, the minister of the Liang Kingdom, lived.
A man dressed as an ordinary citizen was looking around slyly.
As far as Yan Fu is concerned, if the Qin army works carefully and really comes to him, maybe he will really agree.
But the man didn't knock on his door, but went to the neighbor's house next door.
Amidst the rapid knocking on the door, not long after, an impatient voice came from inside: "Who..."
Following the words, the housekeeper opened the door to the house a crack and stuck his head out with a look of displeasure on his face.
The man quickly took out a secret letter and without saying a word, put it directly into the butler's arms: "The matter is urgent. Please report it to your master as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned around and left.
"Huh?" The housekeeper was confused and wanted to stop the man and ask him clearly, but he had already disappeared.
He stood in front of the mansion, took the secret letter and looked at it, with a look of confusion on his face, and then closed the door again.
This mansion is the home of Cai Chang, a wealthy family in the Liang Kingdom, and belongs to Cai Yan's own clan.
After the housekeeper came back, he turned over the secret letter and was very puzzled, but the person who came said it was for the master. How could he dare to open it privately? He also said that the situation was urgent. After thinking about it, he found Cai Chang.
At this time, Cai Chang was not asleep yet. Hearing the butler's report, he also looked puzzled, but still said: "Let me see."
With that said, he took the secret letter and opened it and read it carefully.
This secret letter was written by the King of Qin himself and addressed to Yan Fu. The letter explained in detail the internal and external cooperation.
After Cai Chang read it, he was so frightened that his eyes widened for a moment. Then he hurriedly put away the secret letter and hurried out.
"Master..." Seeing this, the housekeeper asked curiously.
"Something is going wrong!" Cai Chang said anxiously: "Fortunately, the visitor was confused and admitted to the wrong door, otherwise our country would be in danger!"
Yan Fu lived next door to him, and that was definitely the case when he thought about it.
He originally wanted to find Cai Yan, but the latter was not here now. Instead, he was transferred to the east gate to supervise the battle.
However, it was not difficult for Cai Chang to contact some officials from the Cai family, a wealthy family in Liangdu.
Not long after, he visited the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night and told Prime Minister Liang everything about the secret letter.
After hearing this, the old prime minister looked at the secret letter again and was equally shocked.
"This, this!" He held the secret letter, his eyes widened, looking anxious.
"Fu Yan lives next door to me. Someone came to deliver an urgent letter. It's night again, so I'm afraid I didn't see it clearly." Cai Chang expressed his thoughts.
Liang Xiang said: "This statement makes sense, but what do you think?"
"This matter is of great importance, and the Prime Minister should make his own decisions." Cai Chang grinned.
"Well..." Liang Xiang took a deep breath, then took the secret letter and said seriously: "This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. I will enter the palace immediately and ask to see the king!"
He just did what he said. He didn't have time to sleep. He immediately changed into official uniform, said goodbye to Cai Chang, and hurried out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister of Liang Kingdom, a veteran of the two dynasties, has a very high reputation. With his qualifications and status, no matter how late it is, if he insists on entering the palace to see King Liang, he will definitely be able to see him.
Because the war is approaching the capital, King Liang can't sleep at all and is frowning in his study.
When he heard that the Prime Minister wanted to see him, he didn't say anything and just ordered him to be brought over.
After the monarch and his ministers met, Liang Xiang naturally bowed first.
"Old love, no courtesy." Prince Liang said tiredly: "I'm asking for a meeting late at night, what can I do?"
"He is such a great king..."
Liang Xiang organized his words, then told the matter, and at the same time respectfully placed the secret letter on the case.
"What!?" After hearing this, King Liang stood up immediately.
Liang Xiang said: "Because the matter is urgent, I dare not delay. This is a secret message, and I don't know whether it is true or false."
After hearing what he said, King Liang hurriedly picked up the secret letter, opened it and read it carefully.
After he finished reading it, he slapped the secret letter on the table with a fierce palm. His eyes almost split, and he said sternly: "Can this be false? I recognize the handwriting of King Qin! This letter is his Handwritten!"
"And Yan Fu's nephew happens to be responsible for guarding the north gate! King Qin is very likely to find him!"
"The thief is really brave!"
He shouted angrily, Liang Xiang was startled, and quickly bowed and shrank his shoulders.
At such a critical moment, if something like this happened, one can imagine Prince Liang’s mentality.
He could no longer contain his anger. After gritting his teeth, he pointed at the Prime Minister: "Quick! The Prime Minister will immediately use my king's order to change the North Gate guard and secretly behead him!"
"The King of Qin conspired with the Yan family and agreed to attack from the north gate. At this time, they did not know that the secret letter was exposed. Therefore, when they attack the city tomorrow, the Qin army will definitely come from the north gate and quickly deploy heavy troops there!"
"Wei Chen accepts the order." Liang Lian hurriedly bowed and responded.
Xiao Yuan's plan was successful, just to let King Liang know that he was going to attack from the north gate, so that the imperial army would gather more troops at the north gate, and how could he enter from here.
The next day, Liangguo went to court.
After all the ministers knelt down and worshiped, King Liang didn't say any nonsense, and directly shouted in a loud voice: "Here comes someone!"
Following his order, the two imperial guards at the palace gate immediately stepped in: "Your Majesty."
King Liang raised his hand and said, "Drag the dog thief Yan Fu down and behead him in public! Merge the three tribes of Yi!"
He was wearing royal robes, a royal crown on his head, and nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, almost gnashing his teeth.
When the imperial army received the king's order, they would not hesitate. They immediately set up Yanfu on the left and right.
The latter was so frightened that he had no idea what was going on. He immediately knelt on the ground and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am innocent!"
"You thief! You dare to quibble!" King Liang was furious. He stood up directly, pointed at his nose from the air and shouted:
"Your uncle and nephew colluded with the King of Qin! You want to open the north gate and welcome the enemy troops in! Do you really think that I don't know this!"
What! ?
Hearing this, Yan Fu was immediately dumbfounded! When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?
But before he could recover, King Liang shouted again: "Those who betray the country and seek glory really deserve to die! Don't drag it on any longer!"
"No!" How could the imperial army hesitate at this time?
Yan Fu was dragged down by his left and right arms. At the same time, he woke up and started howling at the top of his lungs:
"The minor minister is wronged! The minor minister is unfairly accused, Your Majesty——"
"I am so loyal, how could I collude with Xiao Thief? There is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing -"
"Your Majesty is aware of it——"
Screams echoed in the hall, but soon, the shouts stopped abruptly.
Blood splattered outside the palace.
Why did King Liang do this today? It was to scare the monkeys!
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the time when Yan was extinguished, and the group of Yan Kingdom ministers exchanged secret letters one after another in order to save their lives and their future...
His face was gloomy, he glanced around coldly, and said solemnly:
"There are many ministers like Yan Fu, right?"
Upon hearing this, all the ministers tensed up and hurriedly knelt on the ground...
