But at the last moment, a man rushed out and pulled her away, but she was not hit by the boulder.

"Deng Tong, you are really here." Yifang came back to her senses and saw Deng Tong looking at her in surprise and fright.

"I heard a sound in the secret passage just now, and the slave thought that someone had broken in, but he was horrified, but he didn't expect it to be a Shangguan girl." Deng Tong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, "Why did you suddenly come to Chang'an?" Could it be that Liu Heng has already brought troops over, but I haven't received any notice. “

Yifang shook his head: "It is inconvenient for the king to come to Chang'an now, but you need someone to come to help you, so I invited myself to come to Chang'an." ”

"How dangerous it is for you to come here at this time, Liu Heng should know very well in his heart, how could he let you come like this?" Deng Tong asked as he walked out with Yifang.

"It's not about the king, it's for me to come. Now there is no suitable candidate for the DPRK to come to Chang'an at this time, and I can only do it for me. Yifang exchanged a few words with him, and then anxiously asked about the current situation of Chang'an City, "I heard that the Empress Dowager Lu has passed away, how is the situation in the court now?" ”

"As we expected, as soon as the Empress Dowager Lu died, the old ministers who had been suppressed all the year round couldn't sit still, and the princes and kings were also ready to move. Almost every vassal state sent someone to Chang'an, on the surface, to meet the emperor and see off the Empress Dowager Lu, but they all took this opportunity to observe the situation in Chang'an, hoping to get a piece of the pie. ”

"The forces of the vassal states are limited, and they will definitely unite, but we don't know who has secretly approached them." Yi Fang said this, and then asked, "Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, is ready to crusade against the Lu clan, but his personality is too cautious, and he is watching others first. As long as someone strikes first, he will quickly follow, and if no one takes the first step, he will definitely not take the lead. ”

"Miss Shangguan wants to ask?" Deng Tong seemed to understand what she meant, but he wasn't quite sure.

"I'm a mother of two now, so don't call me a girl anymore." Yifang chuckled.

was originally talking about a very serious topic, Yifang suddenly said this, and Deng Tong also laughed: "That's right, you are Liu Heng's beauty now, and you may ascend to the throne of the queen in the future, but I don't know what to call you." ”

Yifang thought about it, and seemed to have a suitable name, so he simply said: "That's it, you can call it whatever you like!" ”

"I just wanted to ask, has Zhu Xuhou and Liu Zhang made arrangements over there?"

Liu Zhang has always been dissatisfied with the rule of Empress Dowager Lü, and as soon as Empress Dowager Lü died, he naturally took the lead. But the Empress Dowager Lu is in mourning, the emperor is young, although he was just a puppet in the past, but now he is still sitting on the dragon chair, no matter how you say it, you have to see what those old ministers mean. At this time, it is not good to rush into the army, so I have been waiting, and news will come in the near future. Deng Tong has been paying attention to inquiring about these news.

"It's good to wait for the right moment, but we can't do nothing." Yifang had already thought about it on the way here, so he said it directly to Deng Tong at this time.

"You're trying to get started with those old courtiers?" Deng Tong guessed.

"Yes, now these princes and kings are fighting each other, no matter who dies in the end, these old ministers are a link that cannot be ignored. Who will sit on the throne in the future has a lot to do with their opinions, so we must control these old ministers. ”

"Hearing you say that, you must already have an idea?"

"I heard from the king that you have laid a lot of eyeliner in Chang'an. Whether it's in the palace or outside the palace, you can find out the news you want to know as soon as you check it, right? Yifang wanted to know himself and his opponent, so he had to figure out the background of those old ministers.

Deng Tong was quite confident when he mentioned this: "That's true. ”

"Then you go and ask them to collect any news from these old ministers, the more detailed the better. Let's prescribe the right medicine, we must hold each of them firmly in our hands, so as to ensure the smooth ascension of the king. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, and in about two or three days, I will receive all the news you want."

When Yifang and Deng Tong walked out of the secret passage, Teng Ling and Zili were already waiting anxiously. Teng Ling even wanted to go down to look for it several times, but the quilt was pulled back several times. Although she believed that Yifang had the ability to handle it, she still couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, and when she saw them come out at this time, she was overjoyed.

"Yifang, if you don't come out again, it will really kill us."

Yifang comforted them a few times, and officially introduced the two to Deng Tong. In the following days in Chang'an City, they will cooperate to do many things together, and it is completely impossible to not know each other.

As Deng Tong said, in just two or three days, an eyeliner collected the news of those old ministers and handed it to the Zuichun Building word for word.

"These old ministers are different, some love their wives and children, some are corrupt and pervert the law, and some are dedicated to the country and the people." Deng Tong read out all the information, and then handed it to Yifang to see.

"Since we love our wives and children, then we will use their wives and children as bargaining chips, if they are corrupt and pervert the law, we will give enough money, if we know that we are dedicated to the country and the people, we guarantee that the emperor will save the people from fire and water after he ascends the throne, these are simple." Yifang took a brief look at these, although the old ministers had different temperaments, they were all good things to deal with.

Yifang and Deng Tong took their own separate actions to govern these old ministers well, and now the great cause is half done. At the same time, Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang's army had also been introduced into Chang'an City. The emperor is young, so naturally he has no right to speak, and he doesn't know the current situation.

Liu Zhang casually pulled his oil head and occupied the palace. Originally, the two nephews of the Empress Dowager Lü, Lü Chan and Lü Lu, still held a certain amount of military power in their hands, and they resisted stubbornly in several important places in Chang'an City. Although he only led some remnants of the defeated army, there were still a certain number of people who gathered together, and they could resist some time.

Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang had been carried away by the victory at this time, and there were not many soldiers in the places they occupied, and they were bent on chasing the remnants of Lü Chan and Lü Lu, wanting to wipe out all the people and completely wipe out the Lü clan.

But Empress Dowager Lu was popular all the time, and she naturally considered part of what happened after her death. She left part of her army outside the city of Chang'an. Lu Lu seemed to be running away, but he was actually rushing there to join the remaining army. However, Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang were unaware of this matter, and by the time Lu Lu had sorted out his army and started to counterattack, they had no time to retreat.

So in this case, both sides can only bite the bullet, and in the end, although the Lu clan was still wiped out, the losses will be very severe, and if they go through another struggle, they must not have much chance of winning. And this is exactly what Yifang wants to see, all of this is in her and Deng Tong's calculations.

"It's been more than half a month, and it's time for this turmoil to stop, let's go and meet those old ministers for a while to see what they think." Yifang stayed in Zuichun Building for many days, and felt a little stuffy, especially wanting to go out to breathe.

These days, there is a lot of war outside, and it is safest to stay in the Zuichun Building, but now that the matter is over, it is natural to go out for a walk.

At this time, Yifang naturally didn't need to worry about anything, she went directly to visit those old ministers with Deng Tong. She originally wanted to visit one by one, but when she went to the first place, she found that everyone else was also together, which made it even more convenient.

At first, they didn't believe in Yifang's female streamers, but after she showed her own methods, the old minister was worried that she was too powerful and would become the second figure like Empress Dowager Lu to control the government in the future.

"The Lu clan has a large number of personnel, and there will always be available talents, and there are not a few ambitious people. But I, Dou family, have always been the only one, and the ministers don't need to worry about their relatives interfering in politics. And the Bo clan of the acting king's mother, the Empress Dowager Bo, will also be in peace and keep to themselves, and have nothing else to ask for secular power. You can rest assured that if the king ascends the throne, there will never be a situation where relatives interfere in politics. ”

What Yifang said was very reasonable, and it successfully blocked what the ministers were going to say next. Their worries were understandable, but Yifang anticipated the questions they would have one by one, and even answered their thoughts in advance, so that they really couldn't think of anything else for a while.

"In that case, then please come to Chang'an immediately!" Finally waited for this sentence, Yifang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to Zuichun Building, Yifang repaired a book and sent it to Liu Heng as quickly as possible. Although these old ministers have agreed to Liu Heng's succession, Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang are still eyeing each other. They have made great contributions in pacifying the chaos of the Lu clan, and they will definitely not fall silent like this. For the throne at their fingertips, they definitely want to fight for it. And Liu Heng won the support of the ministers at this time, and he had to use the army to suppress Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang.

Five days later, there was a sound in the underground secret passage that Deng Tong had been keeping an eye on. It was the middle of the night, and he woke up from his dream, so he hurriedly led people into the secret passage to check.

A swarm of rats appeared in the secret passage, and the direction they came was at an exit outside Chang'an City. Deng Tong thought that maybe the people from Liu Heng's faction had already come, so he ordered his men to follow the place where the rats crawled over and go to the exit. When I opened the secret door, I saw someone from Daiguo.

"Chen Zhou Yafu has seen Deng Gongzi." After the meeting, Zhou Yafu saluted Deng Tong in a regular manner.

In fact, Deng Tong does not have any official position, but everyone knows that he has a good relationship with Liu Heng. And under Liu Heng's signal, Deng Tong also gained a very high status, and everyone saw him respectfully. In addition, his ability is also obvious to all, in this Chang'an Rebellion, he has made great contributions, and he can win the respect of Zhou Yafu.

"General Zhou, please get up quickly, I have tired General Zhou to run this trip at night, and the brothers have also worked hard, and after a while, I will enter from the secret passage, and when I arrive in Chang'an City, I can greet the brothers to eat something good." Deng Tong said to everyone, and then led them through the secret passage.

Until tomorrow's morning light comes, they will hide in the secret passages. But as long as it is dawn tomorrow, the army belonging to Liu Heng will directly occupy the entire Chang'an City, and then go all the way to the palace and catch Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang off guard.

At the beginning, everything went very smoothly, with the blessing of the words of the old ministers, and the force of force, Liu Heng rode a high-headed horse and rushed in with high spirits when the advance army opened the gate of Chang'an. But his eyes were all focused on Liu Zhang and Liu Xiang's army, but he never thought that the Lu clan would escape a group of people.

These people took advantage of the chaos and kept running away, changing their faces on the way, hoping only to save their lives. By the time Liu Heng found out and sent troops to chase after them, they had already scattered and hid in the crowd, and they could no longer tell each other.

It's just a small team, since he didn't catch up, Liu Heng doesn't care about it anymore, after all, these people won't pose any threat to him. But he doesn't know now that it is these people who will stir up the palace in the days to come.

Deng Tong is very famous in Chang'an City, and he also deliberately won the hearts of the people before, but now that he knows that he represents Liu Heng, the people also turn to support Liu Heng.

And Liu Xiang still couldn't change the character of the grass on the wall, seeing that Liu Heng seemed to be the emperor, he quickly gave up the struggle and fled back to Qi in disgrace, and only Liu Zhang's team was left in Chang'an to continue to fight against him. They used to be allies, but they didn't expect to have a day when they would fight each other.

If such a situation is stalemate, it will definitely cause turmoil again, and Liu Heng must be allowed to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Yifang walked on the street after the war, thinking carefully about how to deal with it, and suddenly saw a little boy on the side of the road, who seemed to be the most active little beggar in Chang'an City in the past, and now he has also grown into a teenager.

"Why are you here alone, your companions?" Yifang walked over and asked.

"Some died, some ran away, and I was the only one left." After the little beggar finished speaking, he looked up at Yifang, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You are the sister who was stolen by us a long time ago?" ”

Yifang Fox was suspicious: "What token?" ”

The little beggar took out a treasured token from his pocket and carefully handed it to Yifang: "This is it." We originally stole it for fun, but a literate uncle in the infirmary said that it was a terrible thing, and that children could not play with it, and that it would lead to death. We put it away, ready to find time to return it to you, and after many years, we finally see you again. ”

Yi Fang took a closer look at the token, and suddenly felt shocked in her heart, this piece was the token of the Zhuxu Marquis Mansion that she had lost back then.
