Luoyang Huisi Lou is a very famous restaurant, located in the north of Luoshui, covering an area of about five acres, consisting of a three-story building and several small courtyards.

Huisi Lou was originally the asset of the Hou Mochen family, and after Zhu Zhu occupied Luoyang, his subordinates divided the property of the Chang'an nobles in Luoyang, and this Huisi Lou was distributed to Qiu Jingzhong.

At noon, a carriage slowly stopped at the backyard door of Huisi Building, and Qiu Yuan, the eldest son of Qiu Jingzhong, who was waiting here, hurriedly greeted him and said in a low voice: "Father is already waiting for His Highness!" ”

The crown prince Zhu Sui had already changed into his regular clothes, he nodded, and under the protection of two personal guards, followed Qiu Yuan into the back door.

Zhu Sui entered the lotus appreciation courtyard close to the back door, and there were several black-clothed guards standing in the courtyard, and Qiu Jingzhong, who had a bearded face, was already waiting in the courtyard with a smile.

Qiu Jingzhong is about fifty years old, he was originally Zhu Tao's subordinate, after Zhu Tao seized Youzhou, he defected to Zhu Zhu, has been following Zhu Zhu for more than 20 years, and is now the only remaining veteran general around Zhu Zhu, Feng Peng Guogong, hussar general, mastering 80,000 flying bear guards.

Qiu Jingzhong was six feet seven tall, that is, nearly two meters, and weighed two hundred pounds, standing there like a black bear, which made the thin Zhu Sui feel great pressure.

"The general has been waiting for a long time!"

"Where! Where! ”

Qiu Jingzhong waved his hand, "Your Highness, please!" ”

The two walked into the inner hall, Qiu Jingzhong had already set up a table of wine banquet, the two sat down, and the two maids poured them wine, Zhu Sui said a little anxiously: "I can't leave the palace for too long." ”

Qiu Jingzhong smiled, "What is Your Highness worried about, is the Son of Heaven still paying attention to you now?" ”

Zhu Sui hesitated and said: "I may not have paid attention to it before, but now I do!" ”

"Makes sense!"

Qiu Jingzhong picked up the wine cup, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Let's drink this cup!" ”

The other party had already done it first as a respect, and Zhu Sui had no choice but to take up the wine cup and drink it all.

Qiu Jingzhong smiled and watched him finish drinking, then waved his hand to let a few wine girls and guards retreat, and only his eldest son Qiu Yuan was left in the room.

Qiu Jingzhong has three sons, the eldest son Qiu Yuan Congwen follows him, the second son Qiu Wen and the third son Qiu Pai are both generals, and they are currently temporarily commanding the army in Xin'an County.

Qiu Jingzhong asked in a low voice, "Has the Son of Heaven decided to make a new prince?" ”

Zhu Sui sighed, "The queen has been established, the next step is to abolish the crown prince, and the next step is to establish a new prince." ”

"Why did the Son of Heaven crown Liu Feng as the king of the county?" Qiu Jingzhong asked.

"I guess it's to stabilize Liu Feng and let him not take risks for me, but in fact, it's also to divide Liu Feng's support for me."

"It makes sense, then do you think Liu Feng is still useful?"

Zhu Sui nodded, "The contradiction between him and Xiao Wanding is irreconcilable, his staff member Yang Mi told me that Liu Feng is very sober-minded on this issue, he and I have a cold relationship, once the Xiao family gains power, it will be when his Liu family falls." ”

Qiu Jingzhong smiled, "It's not that serious, Zhu Jun is still relatively generous to his subordinates, but if he can think like this, it is still beneficial to us." ”

After a pause, Qiu Jingzhong said again: "I read His Highness's letter last time, it's not impossible to bring the army to Xuzhou, but do you think Xuzhou alone can feed an army of 80,000?" ”

"Not only Xuzhou, but also Songzhou and Bozhou, these three states combined, it should be possible to supply 80,000 troops!"

Qiu Jingzhong's eyes narrowed into a slit, flashing with fine light, Zhu Sui's heart jumped, he suddenly found that this seemingly rugged bearded man was not as rough as he thought, but at this time Zhu Sui was like a drowning man who grabbed a piece of wood, Qiu Jingzhong was his only hope.

Qiu Jingzhong pondered for a long time, and said to Zhu Sui: "In this way, you apply to the Son of Heaven to go to Xuzhou for inspection, and after you leave the capital, I will then lead the army to rush over." ”

"I'm afraid my father won't let me leave, I can only leave secretly."

"In that case, then Your Highness will leave now!"

"Now?"

Zhu Sui was taken aback and said hurriedly: "My wife and children are still in the East Palace, if I leave, what will they do?" ”

"Your Highness has such a long relationship with children, and you can't do great things!"

Zhu Sui sighed, "My wife can be thrown away, and I will take my two sons away, is this okay?" ”

"How is Your Highness going?"

"I have already discussed with Liu Feng's staff Yang Mi before, Liu Feng's brother-in-law Xiang Fei is the commander of Jiumen, if I go out of the city at night, he can let me out."

Qiu Jingzhong sneered disdainfully, "Do you think Xiang Feiken is taking this risk for you?" ”

"The palace people only know that I am out of the palace, and it does not prove that I am out of the city, as long as Xiang Fei bites me to death and I have not left the city, the Son of Heaven has no way to take him."

Qiu Jingzhong laughed, "You think too naïve about the Son of Heaven, and you also think too naïve about Liu Feng, I'm afraid that Liu Feng will sell you at that time, you listen to me, leave now, go with me, the Son of Heaven will hinder your father's face, and he won't be angry with your son, maybe your departure is also what the Son of Heaven is looking forward to." ”

Zhu Sui was silent for a while, Qiu Jingzhong saw his temptation, and continued to agitate: "This is actually your only chance, it is likely that the Son of Heaven will secretly arrest you at night, and then announce that you are unfortunately ill and dead, so that his son can be canonized as the new prince logically, and he does not have to bear moral responsibility." ”

Zhu Sui showed a look of shock on his face, killed himself, and then announced that he was unfortunately sick and died, would his father do this?

The subconscious told him that his father would definitely do it!

The fear of death finally convinced Zhu Sui, and he nodded, "Okay! I listened to the general's arrangement. ”

Qiu Jingzhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave his eldest son a look, and the eldest son immediately went out to make arrangements.

In fact, Qiu Jingzhong had already arranged it, he asked Zhu Sui to come out to meet at noon, just to take him away, Zhu Sui's will was not strong enough, he couldn't resist Qiu Jingzhong's persuasion, and finally compromised.

A quarter of an hour later, a wide, well-sheltered carriage drove out of Luoyang City and sped west.......

.........

This time the queen canonized, Liu Feng performed very well, it can be called remarkable, he was very angry, and took the initiative to lead hundreds of officials to ask for the canonization of Concubine Xiao Shufei as the queen, and he persuaded his sister Liu Guifei to take the initiative to give in to Concubine Xiao Shufei and express his intention to compromise and seek peace.

These performances won Zhu Jun's affirmation, and Liu Feng was crowned the king of Liangjun, so that Liu Feng's crisis was temporarily alleviated.

This is the strategy of his staff Yang Mi, of course, behind it is Guo Song's intentions, Guo Song does not want Liu Feng to be deposed, Liu Feng has a great role for him, he can control the current situation in Luoyang through Liu Feng.

In the study, Liu Fengzheng and Yang Mi discussed the next steps, Yang Mi said: "Xiangguo, Xiao Wanding and Liu Sigu are too strong after forming an alliance, we must get rid of one of them if we weaken their alliance, of course we can't move Xiao Wanding, the lowly position means to eradicate Liu Sigu!" ”

Of course, getting rid of Liu Sigu is something that Liu Feng can't ask for, but Liu Feng also knows that getting rid of Liu Sigu is the most suspicious, and I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will be the first to doubt himself, so Liu Feng is a little hesitant.

Getting rid of Liu Sigu was naturally Guo Song's decision, Liu Sigu and Xiao Wanding formed an alliance to make Liu Feng a weak party, especially Liu Sigu was named a scholar of Longyuan Pavilion and became Zhu Jun's staff, he suggested to Zhu Zhu to follow Chang'an to implement the strategy of encircling the scholars, widely using the children of the scholars as magistrates, and tying the interests of the scholars and the imperial court, which was not in line with Guo Song's strategy of winning over the scholars.

Guo Song hoped that Zhu Zhu would completely collapse the Central Plains Shi clan and make the Shi clan resentful, which would be in his own interests, and Liu Sigu's strategy made Guo Song suddenly realize that after Zhu Jun no longer had military expansion, Liu Sigu had shifted from military to internal affairs, which would weaken his control of the Zhu Zhu Dynasty through Liu Feng, so Guo Song decided to eradicate Liu Sigu.

Yang Mi saw Liu Feng's hesitation, and persuaded him: "The Son of Heaven will not think that Xiangguo did it, if Xiangguo wanted to kill Liu Sigu, he would have done it a long time ago, why wait until now, just when Duqiu was assassinated, we can tell the Son of Heaven that this is the reciprocal revenge taken by Guo Song." ”

Liu Feng's eyes lit up, this is feasible!

Yang Mi smiled again: "Wait for Xiangguo to find a chance to go out, and then you can do it." ”

At this moment, a guard outside came to report, "Qi Xiangguo, the henchmen and guards around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have something important to see!" ”

Liu Feng didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in!"

After a while, a guard hurriedly walked to the bottom of the hall, knelt down on one knee and said: "The humble position is the personal guard of the prince's side, and there is an urgent matter to tell Xiangguo." ”

"What's the big deal?"

The guard said in a low voice: "At noon today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been kidnapped out of Luoyang City by Qiu Jingzhong, and he is missing!" ”

Liu Feng and Yang Mi looked at each other, the news came too suddenly.
