Chapter 247: A Critical Moment

When He looked back, it was Xun Yu who came, and his beloved son Xun Mou was followed behind him. He didn't have time to luggage, so he was so anxious that he immediately blurted out: "Lu Zuo, they ran away......"

Xun Yu came to He Shi and said unhurriedly: "The old man has long known about this matter, and his old mother has passed away, so what ......"

He shook his head vigorously, "He won't come back, returning to his hometown to guard filial piety is just a false shot!" ”

"This ......" Xun Yu and his son glanced at each other, and then continued to ask, "Is the news reliable?" ”

"It's true!" He hesitated, "It was Renxiang who told me personally. ”

Xun Mou asked, "Why didn't Lu Renxiang come with you?" ”

"He ......" He Shi's face was timid, and then his face turned and he said calmly, "He is chasing Lu Zuo on horseback, so let me tell you alone." ”

Xun Mou looked at He Shi suspiciously, "When did Lu Renxiang chase him?" ”

"Evening."

"Evening?" Xun Mou frowned, "Lu Zuo has been gone for a while, how can he not say it until now?" ”

He's cheeks turned red in an instant, if it was said that Renxiang had Lu Zuo's letter, and then burned it, I was afraid that Xun Mou would leave a handle, and whether Lu Zuo left a letter or not, it is estimated that Renxiang had already known about his brother's situation, and the reason why he didn't say it until the evening was to leave time for his brother to sneak away. He Shi thought about it, and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Renxiang also learned about it from his housekeeper when he went to Lu Zuo's mansion later. ”

Xun Mou then asked: "How could Lu Zuo's housekeeper tell him this kind of news, isn't it because you two are lying to us?" ”

He's face sank, he put down his face, and his cheeks trembled with anger, "General Xun, our husband and wife are all sincere, presumably the prince is also obvious to all, if we really want to deceive you, why bother to tell you about this, wouldn't it be boring to be self-deprecating, and be angry in two places!" Moreover, Lu Zuo is also Renxiang's own brother, he can kill his relatives with righteousness, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also blue-eyed, how can you speculate. ”

Seeing this, Xun Yu hurriedly smiled and said: "What He Qianjin said is that this Lu Shangshu is Lu Zuo's younger brother, and it is common sense to be able to tell him the news, and the most important thing at the moment is how we should deal with this matter." ”

Xun Mou didn't want to offend the He family, so he pretended to be nothing, "Lu Zuo left the capital, it is estimated that he had already guessed that the situation had reversed, and now the reason why he was able to leave Kyoto smoothly was nothing more than that Liu Xun, the king of Ning, did not know Lu Zuo's true purpose. ”

"Are you sure?" Xun Yu looked at his son suspiciously, "Could it be that Lu Zuo also left a letter to warn Liu Xun." ”

"Not impossible."

"What then?" He and Xun Yu asked together.

"Go and inform the prince immediately and ask for immediate action."

Xun Yu agreed with Xu Bingde, the secretary of the military department, and the two went to visit the prison at the same time, and after a secret discussion, they decided to act immediately the next day.

The day was about to break, Xun Mou and others mobilized everywhere, they didn't sleep all night, but they all seemed extremely excited, they all felt that something big was about to happen, and everyone had the mentality of victory.

The long night of King Ning's Mansion was silent. The door outside the house gate was still asleep, and he was woken up early. When a few disciples rubbed their sleepy eyes, it was Hou Zhigui, the general of Yulin Guard. The subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and when they asked for the reason, they all looked a little embarrassed when they heard that they were asking to see King Ning. One of them smiled and said, "Lord Hou, it's not dawn yet, and the early time is coming, why don't you wait first?" By the way, I had breakfast at the house. ”

Hou Zhigui was impatient, "It's urgent, if the prince doesn't get up again, something big will happen!" Go and invite King Ning, ...... quickly."

Seeing Lord Hou's anxious and frightened expression, the disciple didn't dare to make a mistake, and when he turned around and was about to go in to say goodbye, Hou Zhigui also followed closely, "Lead the way, I'll go with you." ”

King Ning had already freshened up at this time, and when he heard that Hou Zhigui was asking to see him, he knew that there must be something important, and he was only halfway through his court clothes, so he rushed out of the door in three or two steps.

"Lord Wang." Hou Zhigui hurriedly ran forward and whispered, "In the morning, someone from Jingzhao Mansion Yin came to take over the eight gates of the imperial city, saying that they were ordered to arrest the murderers and impose martial law on the imperial city. ”

Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Then how do you deal with it?" ”

"Naturally, our subordinates did not dare to hand over the city gate easily, but they said that we had disobeyed the holy order and surrounded us in the same place. The subordinates wanted to go to the Yulin Wei Yamen to transfer two teams of our people to relieve the siege, but they found that the Yamen was also surrounded by people from Jingzhao Mansion. Now that the two sides are deadlocked, the subordinates guess that there must be something in it and want you to decide. ”

"How can there be so many people in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"The subordinates are also confused? Later, one of my subordinates told me that some people looked familiar, and they might be Jin Wuwei's people.

"Jin Wuwei?" Liu Xun was taken aback, "It's not good, the prince has action." ”

"Huh? Now what? ”

"Hold the gates, if we really give them full control of the gates, then we will really be fish at the bottom of the kettle. What about the palace? ”

"The specific situation in the palace is not clear, the palace is guarded by dragon and tiger guards, I think there should be no mistakes, their leader Sun Chongwei is the emperor's henchman, if they attack him, it will definitely alarm the emperor, and the emperor will definitely take action at that time."

"Hmm...... As long as the gates of Kyoto are not lost, even if the Imperial Palace is controlled, it will not be of much significance. Send someone to invite Gao Yun and ask him to meet the saint. I personally led the soldiers to besiege the prince's mansion. Lord Hou, you go and invite the Dragon Tiger Guard General Changsun Chongwei, whether you can overwhelm the crown prince's flames depends on whether the eldest grandson general is willing to go out of the horse, and you must not lose. ”

Hou Zhigui left, and Liu Xun also hurriedly asked Liu Xingzhi to gather the government soldiers, plus 140 domestic servants, for a total of 450 people. The group held sharp knives in their hands, lined up neatly, and headed towards the prince's mansion.

Liu Xingzhi was also frightened, he didn't expect that the prince was in a deep cage, and he could still turn over the river and the sea in the middle of the court, if he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots today, he would definitely be born again in the future, but he didn't understand why his father wanted to go to the prince's mansion, so he asked his father.

Liu Xun's expression was solemn, "Now the prison must be surrounded by the prince's people, and they must have thought that we would surround the prison, and going there now is tantamount to a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth." ”

Liu Xingzhi thought thoughtfully, "This is Wei Wei to save Zhao?" But ......"

The father and son both seemed to be a little unconfident, and they couldn't help but think of Lu Zuo, but unfortunately he was not around now, otherwise there must be a better plan.

The sun rose in the east, the silver sunlight drifted with the cold wind, and there was an indescribable feeling on his body, Liu Xun looked at the sky with the awning in his hand, it was the time of the early dynasty, I don't know if my father found something wrong?

"Lord ......"

When Liu Xun Xunsheng looked back, a man came on horseback behind the team, and it turned out to be Yang Youxian, the secretary of Dali Temple. Liu Xun couldn't help frowning when he saw his panicked expression.

Yang Youxian immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, for some reason today, the emperor suddenly asked Zhang Cen to say that he was unwell today and would take a day off." But the palace gate was closed, and we couldn't get in. ”

"Can't get in?" Liu Xunhu wondered, "Why can't you get in, what about the eldest grandson Chongwei?" ”
