After hearing Lu Zuo's words, the Queen Mother lowered her head and pondered, then waved her hand to signal Lu Zuo to go down, Lu Zuo bowed and signaled, and left the wine shop alone.

Du Zongting saw that Lu Zuo had left, but the Queen Mother still bowed her head and was silent, and she gradually lost her patience, so she mustered up the courage to ask: "Queen Mother, what should I do next?" ”

After pondering for a moment, the Queen Mother sighed: "Hey! Let him go! ”

The twilight is deep, the sunset on the horizon is like a robe draped in the sunset, and on a hundred-year-old camphor tree in the courtyard of the Wei Palace, several crows are making noise up and down, and the sound is in the ears, making the Wei King, who was already uneasy, more and more restless. He paced back and forth in his bedroom, waiting for news from outside. Now that his freedom has been restricted, he can't go anywhere except for the Wei Wangfu. All day long, he was thinking about a question repeatedly, will his father dispose of himself? Will he be stripped of his throne? Will you put yourself in jail? Will they even behead themselves for their own sins?

At this time, outside the courtyard wall of the Wei Palace, two men in black night clothes were hesitating in the corner outside the palace wall, and one of the tall men jumped over the wall, and then leaned over and stretched out his right hand, signaling the people below to grab his hand. Another short and fat man, standing carefully on a large rock, could barely pull the right hand of the man on the wall, and then struggled to climb up to the edge of the wall, the tall man jumped and stopped on the grass in the courtyard, and then the fat man hesitated for a moment and then turned down, but fell on his heel as expected.

Liu Xu was anxiously waiting in the bedroom, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and was immediately awakened, Liu Xu reflexively asked: "Who?" ”

A figure outside the door deliberately lowered his voice, for fear of being heard, "It's me!" ”

Liu Xu heard the person's voice, and quickly stood up and went out to open the door, and the person who knocked on the door was indeed Du Zongting, the imperial historian, but there was a person behind him, it was Hu Dayou, the general of Jin Wuwei. After Liu Xu waited for the two to enter the house, he poked his head outside to observe whether there were people around him to follow and ensure safety, and only then did Liu Xu carefully close the door.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Xu couldn't wait to ask: "Master Du, how did the Queen Mother ask today?" What did Mr. Lu say? ”

Du Zongting shook his head in disappointment, "It's useless, Lu Zuo's thoughts didn't expect to be the same as the Queen Mother." ”

Liu Xu was like five thunderbolts at this time, desperate in his heart, he never thought that even Lu Zuo would have no choice.

Du Zongting couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, I don't know if the lower officials should say something?" ”

"That's it, let's talk about it!" Liu Xu looked quite helpless.

"Xia Guan thinks that what Lu Zuo and the Queen Mother said is not unreasonable, or let's wait and see, and when the wind passes, the saint's qi will also disappear, and we will slowly figure it out."

Liu Xu frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "This king also knows, but do you think the crown prince and King Ning will wait for us?" ”

Du Zongting was speechless when he was asked.

Liu Xu then asked Du Zongting: "What should I do then?" Did the Queen Mother say anything in the end? ”

"In the end, the Queen Mother only reluctantly said to you, 'Let him go', and went back directly."

Liu Xu was disappointed when he heard this, it seems that the Queen Mother has no choice this time, thinking of this, Liu Xu's heart was sour and bitter for a while, and he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart.

Hu Dayou, who had been silent for a long time on the side, slapped the table at this moment and said angrily: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that he will do something, it's a big deal, let's wave our big knife and directly force the emperor to cede the throne to you." ”

Du Zongting glanced at Hu Dayou, "General Hu, ...... this?"

When Du Zongting was about to continue, he was interrupted by Liu Xu: "What General Hu said is very good, it is exactly what I want, for the sake of today's plan, it seems that I can only force the palace." ”

"As long as you say it, the prince will definitely go to the soup and the fire, and he will not hesitate to do so!" Hu Dayou echoed.

Du Zongting saw that King Wei and Hu Dayou were already red-eyed, and he couldn't say anything, but he felt that in the current situation, it was not easy to force the palace.

King Wei gritted his back molars, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind, rather than sit and wait for death, it was better to give it a try, "General Hu, you can analyze the situation of Jin Wuwei and the current situation." ”

Hu Dayou pondered for a moment and said: "The imperial city is guarded by the soldiers of the Three Great Mansions, of which Yulinwei is responsible for guarding the palace, and there are a total of 25,000 soldiers, divided into ten battalions, each divided into five battalions on duty in turn, and is led by Hou Zhigui, the general of Yulinwei. The Dragon Tiger Guard, who was responsible for the security of the Holy Lord, had a total of 30,000 people, also divided into ten battalions, and was commanded by Sun Chongwei, the general of the Dragon and Tiger Guard. The Jin Wuwei under the command of Xia Guan had a total of 28,000 people, divided into ten battalions, and was responsible for the security of the Beijing Division, and was also on duty in turn during the day and at night. So if we want to hold the emperor hostage, we must first find a way to avoid the people of Yu Linwei and Dragon Tiger Guard. ”

Liu Xu listened to these tricky numbers, and had a little headache, how could such an airtight guard deceive him, and how could he hold the saint hostage? Among them, Sun Chongwei, the general of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, is the confidant of his father, who has followed his father for more than 30 years, and can be described as loyal and conscientious, and it is not easy to buy him. And Hou Zhigui, the general of Yu Linwei, is also the person of Liu Xun, the king of Ning, and it is impossible to buy Hou Zhigui, so he then asked Du Zongting: "What can Master Du do?" ”

Du Zongting was wandering out of the world, and was suddenly asked by King Wei, and after reacting for a while, he said hesitantly: "This is ...... The imperial city is heavily guarded from the inside out, and there is nothing the lower officials can do......"

"There it is!" Hu Dayou said excitedly, "Xiaguan has a plan, Lord Wang, see if it's feasible!" ”

Liu Xu listened excitedly, "Come on!" ”

"Jin Wuwei has always been responsible for the inspection of Kyoto, we only need to pretend that a group of assassins broke into the palace, and then in the name of this, lead the troops into the palace, and then go straight to the emperor's bedroom, and finally hold the emperor hostage, stating that the assassins were secretly sent by the prince, wanting to harm the saint, and then let him depose the prince and the king of Ning, and make you the prince of my Han Dynasty! How is it? Hu Dayou said triumphantly.

Liu Xu couldn't stop nodding, "Hmm! Very well, and this group of assassins must be real, and they must be caught by us in my father's bedroom, and we must also identify the crown prince on the spot, and at that time our army surrounded my father's bedroom, and he could not help but write an edict. ”

"Good! The lower officials found a few henchmen, explained them clearly, and asked them to pretend to be the assassins of the crown prince! The corners of Hu Dayou's eyes showed a hint of cunning.

Liu Xu, the king of Wei, then asked, "Is it reliable?" ”

Hu Dayou nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, these are the dead soldiers carefully cultivated by the lower officials, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Du Zongting was silent on the sidelines, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, once such a risky action fails, it will be a big crime to be beheaded. However, King Wei's current actions can also be understood, after all, with the prince's temperament, I am afraid that it is really difficult to tolerate him, not to mention that there is a queen mother behind him, it is easy to make a comeback, but it is a pity that the queen mother's sentence "let him go" made King Wei feel isolated, so he urgently needs to make the saint change his mind, and even make a trick to force the palace to abdicate.

Liu Xu slapped the table with satisfaction, "Okay! Then this matter will be handed over to General Hu to do it, when the time comes, Lord Du, you will lead General Hu's Jin Wuwei 2,000 soldiers, stationed in Jin Wuwei's office, once General Hu succeeds, immediately fire three cannons as a signal, Lord Du, you see the signal, immediately come to the king's mansion to pick me up, when the time comes, we will go to the prince's mansion together, in the name of 'Qingjun's side', the prince will be executed immediately. The time is set for three o'clock tomorrow! What do you two think? ”
