The military tent outside the Jiade Palace was moved to the open space in the Chengyang Gate, the whole palace was full of tense atmosphere, the military tent was spread out all over the place, all in accordance with the appearance of the field war in wartime, the ground in the palace was paved with large pieces of white marble, two years ago in order to rebuild the palace, it was Ma Yue who led the craftsmen to pave it one by one, and now in order to defend the palace, a large piece of land was pried out, revealing a large piece of land, so many military tents were laid.

"San Lang, just exempted Yuan Shu's Tiger Ben Zhonglang General? Can't tell, right? ”

"Brother." Hearing Jian Shuo say this, Ma Yue smiled, pointed to the outside of the palace and said: "There is no way to avoid him as a Zhonglang general, now the palace is one, and the Tiger Ben Army must be firmly grasped in the hands of our own people, I heard from Captain Changshui, Yuan Shu, the turtle king bastard, is carrying fire oil outside the Qingzuo Gate, most of them are taking people to open the arsenal in the city, and the dog wants to burn the Qingzuo Gate, just this kind of person is still a tiger Ben Zhonglang General?" ”

"Is there such a thing? Didn't you tell them about He Jin's death? Jian Shuo was stunned for a moment, gritting his teeth angrily, "The children of this group of people from the family from the public mansion have no respect for the royal family, who gave him the guts to burn and rob the arsenal?" ”

"Don't talk about that, brother, you can help me get an idea." Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "It's inevitable, brother, do you say that I am carrying He Jin's head outside the palace now to tell the captain waiting at the door, or will I wait for them to come to the palace to ask?" ”

"Of course I'm going to say it now, and when they come, it won't be imposing." Jian Shuo was a little disgusted with the human head, "Hurry up and throw it out, otherwise the longer those bastards outside, the more angry they will be." ”

"Well, what my brother said is very true." Ma Yue nodded and said, "I'm always afraid that we won't be prepared enough, in case they scold us for being rebellious and storming the palace, thinking that we can be more prepared later...... But at the moment, it doesn't seem like there's anything to prepare, so let's do what my brother wants. ”

Ma Yue said, then got up and picked up the wooden box and walked out of the tent, at this moment, a soldier who came in to report the news lifted the curtain and saw Ma Yue startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yuguang Luxun, the Shangshu outside the Chengyang Gate ordered Lu Zhi to ask to enter the palace to see you." ”

"Lu Lao Shangshu? Yes, it's too late, I'm afraid the old ministers of the first emperor have already guessed something. Ma Yue was stunned, glanced back at Jian Shuo, and saw that Jian Shuo was the same, so he looked back and said, "Alone?" ”

"Yes, alone."

Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "Okay, let Lu Shangshu come in." ”

The soldier who reported the news retreated and ran quickly towards the palace gate, and Ma Yue nodded to Jian Shuo and also walked towards the city gate. Lu Zhi is an old man in the palace and outside the palace, he is still a celebrity, he is highly respected, Ma Yue can stop Yuan Shu and He Miao, but he will never dare to stop an old qualified official like Lu Zhi.

There are countless factions in the imperial court, among which the eunuchs are a party, a foreign relatives are a party, a party of party members after the party is lifted, and naturally Ma Yue Jianshuo, who has recently emerged, has formed a party of his own. In the final analysis, there are still many old ministers of the old emperors who have no faction, do not get close to anyone, and just do their own things. There are many such people, but they have not come forward as usual in recent days.

Ma Yue Jianshuo blocked the palace in order to respect Liu Hong's edict, because Ma Yue himself also wanted to prevent the new emperor from fleeing back to Liangzhou after he ascended the throne, so he forcibly broke into the Huangmen Temple and fought for the great crime of the three clans, and he also came out to ask Liu Hong for a testament. The eunuchs came to save their lives, and when Liu Hong died, their backers were gone, and they suddenly became the target of everyone, so they also jumped out in a hurry. He Jin's relatives and the party were even more anxious, Liu Hong died, and they wanted to set up an emperor close to him to ascend the throne, not to mention that the eldest prince was the eldest son, and he should have ascended the throne when Liu Hong died without a prince.

The three factions are all mixed with selfish interests, and no one is dedicated to the public, but Ma Yue doesn't understand that Lu Zhi has no interests in it, why did he see himself at this time?

The palace gate opened briefly, Lu Zhi had just taken two steps inside, and the palace gate behind him was closed again, and after two more steps, Lu Zhi looked at the palace and was stunned, his face changed greatly, and he walked out of the city gate hole quickly, Lu Zhi's face was already white.

"Crazy, are you all crazy?" As soon as Lu Zhi saw Ma Yue, he pointed to his nose and shouted: "The captain of the shogunate is lined up outside the palace, and the old man only received the news today, I am afraid that there will be conflicts in the city, how do you know that you Ma Junhao closed the palace door and did this, can you and Jian Shuo's dog's head be broken?" Look what you've done in the palace? ”

Lu Zhi's voice was so loud that Ma Yue's head hurt, and as soon as he grabbed Lu Zhi's arm, Ma Yue dragged him to the military tent.

"Ma Junhao, you give it to me, the old man has never seen you like a wolf-hearted man in his 20 years as an official, are you going to coerce the palace to rebel?"

Lu Zhi is also an old general who has martial arts in the army, where can he let Ma Yue walk like this, and Ma Yue didn't dare to come hard all the way, for fear of making another good thing for the old general's body bones, so he had to laugh and persuade while dragging and said: "The old general is angry, the old general is angry, have you ever seen me rebel like this?" If you want to rebel, why don't you hurry up and tie up an old general like you? Don't worry, let me enter the account, I'll tell you what's going on, don't worry. ”

Ma Yueguang wanted to slap his mouth, why did he forget the old man who was bored in Shangshutai when he first sent the letter to Huangfu Song, and the old man's current grievances are big, look, this is left with the cultivation of famous Confucians in the sea and didn't scold his mother.

To put it mildly, Ma Yue dragged Lu Zhi into the military tent, Jian Shuo had already left into the Jiade Hall and lay in the coffin with him for a long time.

As soon as Lu Zhichu entered the account, he saw Zhang Rang, the great eunuch sitting obediently at both ends of the tent, and Xun Yu, the palace guard, glanced at Ma Yue suspiciously, and Ma Yue said lightly: "Put it here and take care of it, and the two of them from the province will go out to report the news, hey, hey, old general, don't worry, don't worry, sit down first." ”

Lu Zhi's face was furious, and Ma Yue was also so anxious in his heart, when was this time, but he still had to grind hard with Lu Zhi here.

"Don't say anything else, the old man will ask you, did you break out of Huangmen Temple as rumored in the streets and alleys of Luoyang?"

Ma Yue was stunned, "Yes." ”

"The Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army doesn't have a soldier talisman, so he privately transferred troops to the palace?"

Ma Yue's face didn't matter anymore, "Yes." ”

"The palace is not allowed to enter or leave, and no edict has been issued since the day you were released from prison, but you have sealed the palace privately?"

"Yes."

"Daring fanatic!" Lu Zhi asked three questions in a row, and after getting affirmative answers, he became furious, pointed at Ma Yue and said, "How many crimes have you committed, are you crazy?" How did you deceive the soldiers in the palace for your use, the old man didn't believe it, could it be that there was no loyal and brave man in this tiger army? ”

"Oh, old general, listen to me." Ma Yue looked at Lu Zhi's situation, and slowly said that it would definitely not work, so he threw out a big burden and said: "Not only did I do that, Your Majesty died on the day I was released from prison, and designated the little prince to take the throne, so I also secretly concealed the news of Your Majesty's death and did not mourn, old general, the first emperor entrusted the little prince to me!" ”

"What?" Lu Zhi didn't react for a moment, "You mean...... Your Majesty has died? ”

"I came out to see His Majesty, and it was not good at that time, and the sweat on my forehead is not an exaggeration." Ma Yue sighed, nodded and said: "If I hadn't received the news, I wouldn't have broken out of the Huangmen Temple, Your Majesty likes the little prince I have always known, I am afraid that after His Majesty's death, the general and the queen will collude to establish the great prince, so I broke into the Jiade Hall to see His Majesty for the last time, and asked for a testament for the little prince." ”

"You saw it too." Ma Yue shook his head and said to Lu Zhi: "Old general, I am inseparable from the general's mansion. ”

Lu Zhi frowned, and said after a while: "So, these warriors in the palace, are you planning to start a war with the General's Mansion?" Or is it just for them to give you courage? ”

"Alas, let's look at the General's Mansion, if they are willing to let the little prince ascend the throne safely, I will not attack them." Ma Yue sighed, his face suddenly changed and said, "If those scholars in the shogunate want me to die, then no one should think about living well!" ”

Lu Zhi walked around in the tent, his brows were furrowed, he knew that he had misunderstood Ma Yue, this young martial artist was just like Duan Ying back then, in order to survive, His Majesty pushed him to the forefront, but the young man who was not smooth enough pushed to the front prematurely only ran to death, Lu Zhi wanted to save him.

"If you want, the old man can take you to lobby the general, both sides take a step back, and now Luoyang has a bigger crisis to deal with, otherwise no matter which prince doesn't want to take the throne well, the general's mansion has recruited border troops from all over the country to come to Beijing Qingjun's side, the old man clearly knows that those border generals will definitely be chaotic when they enter Beijing, and what the imperial city needs at this time is stability, not war. But the general and Yuan Benchu didn't understand, and the old man couldn't persuade him. The samurai in the palace will listen to you, if they can defend the Jingshi...... Coupled with the soldiers and horses in the hands of the various captains, even if something goes wrong, it can be suppressed. ”

"This ......" Ma Yue looked at Lu Zhi, and saw a loyal old minister who was dedicated to the country, Lu Zhi is not like Ma Yue, he has no desire for authority, and he is not like Jian Shuo who is loyal to the first emperor, he is really a loyal man who thinks about the Han Dynasty, and Ma Yue admires it in every way, but ...... Ma Yue took out the edict and handed it to Lu Zhi, "Old general, it's late, this is the edict left to me by the first emperor, you can take a look." ”

Lu Zhi looked at the edict, and the more he looked at it, the cooler his heart became, "The edict wants to kill the general and abolish Queen He?" ”

"What's worse is that I have been entrusted by the edict that the general is in the box on several cases."

"What? The Great General is dead? How is this good, how is it good, the captains outside the palace will never give up, even if you have a posthumous photo in hand, they will break into the palace to plot against the eunuchs, alas! ”

So far, Ma Yue, who had already been mentally prepared, was in a better mood than Lu Zhi, "It just so happens that you are here, you will leave the palace with the edict and the head of the general, and tell them the death news of the general's rebellion and execution, and the rest, listen to the fate of heaven." ”

"War...... I'm afraid it's inevitable. ”
