This matter is mysterious, and Yifang has some vague expectations. Moreover, early the next morning, just as she was getting ready to go, Liu Heng took a set of men's clothes for her to change into.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Yifang is really curious.

Liu Heng still didn't want to tell her in advance: "You'll know when you go." ”

Yifang had no choice but to follow his wishes and get into the carriage, I don't know how long it took to toss and turn on the way, Liu Heng finally took her to the destination, but when she got off the carriage, she looked at it as a desolate place, overgrown with weeds in front of her, and she really couldn't see anything special.

"The king is going to bring his concubine here?" Yifang was suspicious, and she even suspected that they were going in the wrong direction.

But Liu Heng gave her a sure look: "That's right, this is it." ”

Yifang was escorted by him to the weeds, and after walking a distance, he found a tomb door. The tomb is not large, it looks like a small piece from the outside, about the size of a folk funeral. Yifang thought that this was the tomb of an important person, but after looking at the tombstone, it was written very simply, and it was no different from the grave of ordinary people.

At this time, Liu Heng actually opened the door of the tomb, walked in and watched for a while, turned around and stretched out his hand to Yifang. Yifang was stunned for a moment, and then figured out that there must be more space under this tomb. She followed Liu Heng without hesitation, after all, she was also very curious about what was under this.

Two floors down, I heard some banging sounds, as if pieces of iron were hitting each other, making a crisp sound. When I walked over, I saw that they were all figures dressed as blacksmiths, and the weapons in their hands were naturally cast.

"What are these, Your Majesty?"

"It's something that this king has secretly prepared for many years." Liu Heng's eyes shone with ambition, which he would never show in front of others.

"Does the king want to?" Yifang actually understood what was going on when she saw this, but she still wanted to make sure for herself.

"Yifang, don't you want to go back to Chang'an?"

Yifang turned his gaze to the craftsmen who were forging weapons below, and then turned to look at the soldiers practicing martial arts on the other side. If you want to attack the Chang'an Palace on such a scale, there is no problem, Empress Dowager Lu has great power in her hands, and she can naturally control the soldiers and generals in Chang'an, if they send troops to suppress it together, I am afraid that even if they are properly prepared, they will not be able to resist it.

"Your Majesty, if you want to seize power from the Empress Dowager Lu, in addition to the courage of the army, I am afraid that you also need to find some people in Chang'an who have military power in hand." Since Yifang knew from Chu Ruo that the person in the hands of Empress Dowager Lu was not Shaojun, he decided not to pass on the news to her anymore. As for Wen Zhou, with his ability, he will definitely be able to protect himself from being persecuted by Empress Dowager Lu.

After Yifang figured this out, she felt more free than ever, she was able to do what she wanted, stay where she wanted to stay, and love the people she loved.

After Liu Heng heard her, he actually showed a look of surprise: "This king thought that you would persuade this king not to go against Chang'an!" ”

"Life is in the world, there is only this life, if you have the opportunity to fight for what you want, why not?" Yi Fang looked at Liu Heng with a smile and grabbed his arm, "Besides, whatever the king wants to do, the concubines are willing to accompany the king, if there is a chance, they will definitely help the king." ”

"Yifang, you really impress this king, this king can have a virtuous help like you, and he can do things twice the result with half the effort." Liu Heng showed a relieved expression, he originally thought that this time it was a rebellion, and Yifang was from Chang'an, and telling her about this matter would probably make her object, but he didn't expect her to be so reasonable.

"When is the king going to do it?"

Liu Heng thought for a while: "Everything on the Chang'an side, Deng Tong has already taken care of it, as long as these soldiers have finished training, they can find an opportunity to attack Chang'an." ”

"The king handed over the deployment of Chang'an to Deng Tong?" Yi Fang recalled the scene of meeting Deng Tong in the underground secret room before, and guessed, "Could it be that the king is in contact with Zhu Xuhou?" ”

"How do you know this?"

"In the past, when the concubine was in Chang'an, she was fortunate enough to go to the Marquis of Zhuxu's Mansion, and found a secret passage in the Hou Mansion at that time. The concubine curiously broke into the secret passage, and when she couldn't find the exit inside, it was Deng Tong who appeared and took the concubine out. Since he was ordered by the king, it would certainly not be a coincidence that this secret passage was dug into the Marquis of Zhuxu's mansion. This matter was hidden in Yifang's heart, and she didn't plan to say it, but Liu Heng trusted her so much, so she decided to be honest.

"The concubine also saw some hidden weapons in the underground secret room." Yifang asked tentatively, "The concubine thought that the king was befriending Zhu Xuhou, but she couldn't trust him, so she dug the secret passage under Zhu Xuhou's mansion to make it easier to spy on Zhu Xuhou." And putting those weapons in the secret passage can not only be used as supplies when needed, but also in case Zhu Xuhou rebels, it can also be quickly transported to the Hou Mansion, and he will be charged with plotting rebellion. Your Majesty, is the concubine right? ”

"Yifang, you are really...... Surprise the king. Liu Heng knew that she was smart before, and he thought that she was just a little smart of some women in the deep palace, but he didn't expect that she could see the layout of state affairs so clearly.

"The king praised it." Yi Fang's hand involuntarily stroked her lower abdomen, and she suddenly thought of an idea, "Your Majesty, the concubine thought of a good opportunity to attack Chang'an." ”

"You say." Liu Heng was very willing to listen to her thoughts at this time.

"I heard that Empress Dowager Lu has been ill for a long time recently?"

Liu Heng nodded: "That's right, that's the news that this king's faction passed back from the eyeliner in Chang'an." ”

"Empress Dowager Lu is very old, and she has always controlled the power of the court, and the three emperors she has established over the years are equivalent to her puppets, and she has supported many Lu clansmen, which has also made the descendants of the Liu family dissatisfied. If Empress Dowager Lu dies suddenly, Chang'an will definitely have an unprecedented chaos. The people of the Lu clan are unwilling to let go of power, and the princes and kings of the Liu clan will rise up, and when the time comes, they will compete with each other, and who will be the fisherman who profits? ”

"You mean, when Empress Dowager Lu returns to heaven, we will quietly wait for those people to fight each other and finally come out to clean up the mess?" Liu Heng immediately understood the meaning of Yifang.

Yi Fang nodded: "Yes, in this way, the king does not need to worry about the military power in the hands of the Empress Dowager Lu." She is suspicious by nature, even before she dies, she will definitely assign the military power in her hand to the Lu clan she trusts the most, and when the military power is dispersed, we can easily disintegrate this situation if someone provokes the relationship between the Lu clan from it. ”

"Now the most trusted members of the Lu clan by the Empress Dowager Lu, one is Lu Chan, and the other is Lu Lu." Liu Heng pulled Yifang to continue to visit underground, and said, "Lu Chan has a lot of military power, and he has always been the confidant of Empress Dowager Lu, and he can be handed over to Zhu Xuhou to deal with." And Lu Lu's qualifications are slightly worse, but in recent years, he has been very good at making Empress Dowager Lu happy, so he also gave him some power. ”

"If the concubine remembers correctly, Zhu Xuhou's wife seems to be Lu Lu's eldest daughter Lu Xi?" Yifang remembered that she told him the news that Empress Dowager Lu was going to put a person by Liu Zhang's side, and later he still married Lu Xi, but he usually ate and drank well, and he didn't love her too much.

"Yes, this Lu Lu can be regarded as relying on his two daughters to ascend to the throne, the eldest daughter married Zhu Xuhou, and the younger daughter married the puppet emperor set up by the Empress Dowager Lu." Liu Heng thought about it carefully, "If you take advantage of the chaos to attack Chang'an, Lu Lu will not remove it, but it will be an obstacle." ”

"The king doesn't have to worry, the concubine has thought of the best person to deal with Lu Lu."

"Who?"

"Liu Xiang, King of Qi." Yifang analyzed to Liu Heng, "Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, has always stood on the neutral side, and seems to be self-sufficient in guarding Qi, but there will be no less tribute to Chang'an on weekdays." He not only wanted to please the Empress Dowager Lu, but also wanted to expand the territory of Qi, and he was a dishonest person. But he is diligent in training, and there will be no shortage of soldiers who can go to the battlefield in his hands, which is more than enough to deal with Lu Lu. ”

"It's true that there is no problem in terms of troops, but this person is obedient, and I'm afraid it is not easy to be controlled."

Yi Fang smiled: "It's okay, just borrow his hand to get rid of Lu Lu." The old ministers of the court, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, and Guan Ying, will be the most powerful people in the future to belong to the throne, and they will definitely not support people related to the disaster of the Lu family to succeed to the throne. Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang married Lu Lu's daughter, and the Lu family is in-law, so he will naturally be excluded. And Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, is not easy to be controlled, and those old ministers will definitely not choose him. As a result, there are not many descendants of the Liu family who can succeed to the throne. ”

"What would have happened if the king had come into the sight of these old ministers at that time?"

Liu Heng stared at the craftsmen who were striking black, and in a few days, there would be sharp swords here, and when Empress Dowager Lu died, the soldiers would enter the palace from the secret passage outside Chang'an City, waiting for the opportunity to win a place in the chaos. He seemed to have seen the tragedy of the battle, the splendid rivers and mountains were stained with blood, but the high dragon chair was beckoning to him.

"Those old ministers think that they are thinking about the Liu family's country, but they will always be a little selfish, and they want to choose an emperor who is easy to control and will listen to their opinions." Yifang looked at Liu Heng seriously, "Maybe the king doesn't have to be too sharp, it's best to pretend to have no desires and no desires." ”

"Yes, all plans are being carried out in secret, if you can win the support of these old ministers, it is naturally good, if not, you will occupy Chang'an City in one fell swoop." Liu Heng's eyes shone brightly, it was a desire for success, and the firmness that was bound to win.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, the concubine will accompany you." Yifang clenched Liu Heng's hand, and his face was also resolute.
