Liu Ju turned the carriage and immediately rushed back to the palace, and immediately summoned the guests to the Hanbing Hall to discuss countermeasures.

It was Lu Lian who spoke first, although he was a disciple of the Yin and Yang faction, but this person was still a bit politically minded, so I saw him say: "Your Highness, I see that you should continue to rush to Ganquan Palace to explain clearly to the emperor, ask for his forgiveness, and then see how his condition is, after all, the witch Gu thing is very empty, as long as the emperor's illness is cured, any rumors and slanders will be self-defeating." ”

Zhang Guang is Liu Ju's personal guard, and his martial arts are on par with He Ruhou, and Liu Ju usually takes the two of them as escorts when he goes out. Now He Ruhou was arrested by Jiang Chong and locked up in Tingwei Prison, leaving him alone to guard Liu Ju, just when he was in Xisimamen, he was also present, and heard He Qiang say that the old emperor was very sick, so he said: "Your Highness, just when he was in Xisimamen, He Qiang said that he heard that the emperor is very sick now, I think the emperor doesn't know what to do now, if you go so rashly, will there be any accidents?" ”

Zhang He had been to Ganquan Palace but couldn't see Liu Che, and now when he heard Zhang Guang say this, he felt creepy, would something happen to the old emperor? Seeing that the crown prince and young Fu Shide had been looking at him, he said: "That day I went to Ganquan Palace, where there were strong barriers, and the Yulin Army was very tightly guarded in Ganquan Palace, and I and the queen's envoy had to go through strict inspections when they entered. ”

Liu Ju hurriedly asked, "Which other lieutenant didn't go?" ”

"Captain Chen Long of Changshui didn't go."

After hearing Zhang He's description of the situation in Ganquan Palace, Gai Xin next to him stood up and said, "Your Highness, it is possible that our contact with the emperor has been cut off, and the emperor may be manipulated by those traitors in the next step." ”

Shi De, who had never spoken, didn't know what he was thinking, or he knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, the prince would do what he wanted. Over the years, he has been diligently teaching the prince to be benevolent, to be lenient, and to love the people of the world, but he didn't expect that if you teach the prince to be benevolent and lenient, it is equivalent to saying that the current old emperor is not benevolent enough, very harsh, and does not love the people, which is the source of the contradiction between the prince and the old emperor. In fact, at this time, Shi De was thinking in his heart that if the old emperor knew that the Gu thing that cursed him was found in the imperial palace, then he, the prince and young master, would definitely move his head. The old emperor has no news now, why not suggest that the prince raise troops on the side of the Qingjun, if he succeeds, he is at least one of the three princes.

Liu Ju glanced at Shi De and asked, "Young Master, tell me what you think." ”

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi De, and Shi De cleared his throat and said: "Your Highness, your analysis just now is not unreasonable, Zhang He and the queen's envoy Jia Gonggong went to Ganquan Palace to ask the emperor for peace and couldn't see the emperor, which means that our communication with the emperor was cut off by them; We don't know what the emperor's condition is now, and Jiang Chong and the others kept saying that they dug up the cursed Gu thing in our imperial palace, which means that what they say is what they say, and the traitorous ministers dare to be so rampant, have you forgotten the matter of the prince Fusu in the previous dynasty? ”

This sentence is really loud, and it also poked at Liu Ju's pain point, saying that everyone looked at each other, and didn't know what to say, and the entire Han Bing Hall was suddenly silent. At this time, Liu Ju couldn't sit still, only to see him stand up and walk back and forth, it is estimated that he should be the most fierce ideological struggle in his life at this time.

The more critical the time, the more you have to rely on the person you usually rely on the most, and the person Liu Ju usually relies on the most is of course his teacher Shi De, only to see Liu Ju continue to ask Shi De: "Young Master, then how do you say we should deal with it?" ”

Shi De stroked his beard and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, the first thing to do now is to first fake the holy decree, arrest Jiang Chong, Han Shuo and Zhang Gan, and then enter the Jiaofang Palace to meet the queen, explain the reason for the matter with her, win her support, and then use her talisman to open the arsenal, take over the southern army, and finally summon the hundred officials in Chang'an City, announcing that the emperor is now uncontactable, his whereabouts are unknown, and he may be held hostage by traitorous ministers. ”

When it came to the words, everyone was enthusiastic, gearing up, everyone said they would do it, follow the prince, clear the king's side, and protect the emperor. After thinking for a while, Liu Yi also nodded in agreement, probably because Shi De used the Fusu thing as a metaphor that deeply pierced his heart.

At this time, there was a person who was still sober-minded, he was Lu Lian, and he only heard him say: "Your Highness, if we want to act, we have to be ruthless, and directly say that the emperor was killed by traitorous ministers, and now the edicts issued in Ganquan Palace are not done by the emperor, we are now going to organize a team to go to the side of the Qing monarch and arrest all the traitorous ministers and kill them, such an appeal will definitely be stronger." ”

Liu Ju fell into contemplation again, but after all, he was still a benevolent lord, he thought that if the old emperor was killed by traitorous ministers, but if he was fine now, what would happen if he came back in the future? After thinking about it, Liu Yi finally said: "It is said that my father was killed by traitorous ministers, but if others come back well, then how can I explain to him?" Let's not make up our minds too early, let's just say that he was held hostage by traitorous ministers, Lu Lian, your penmanship is better, so you will draw up a holy decree, and then Zhang Guang will pretend to be the emperor's envoy and come back from Ganquan Palace to deliver the holy decree. "E-book shop

Lu hurriedly received the order to draft the holy decree, and after a while, a fake holy decree was placed in front of Liu Ju, Liu Ju read it carefully, and felt that the imitation was really similar, so he handed the fake holy decree to Zhang Guang, and said: "Bring a few more people over, if anyone dares to resist or escape, they will be killed." ”

"Command!"

With Zhang Guang's order, Liu Ju's action kicked off, and Liu Ju at this time was a bit like his father Liu Che.

Zhang Guang led a group of people to the Zhizhi official office, and several palace guards walked in front, only to see that when they arrived at the door of the official office, the palace guards who took the lead shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived ......"

When the soldiers guarding the door heard that it was a holy decree, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door for Zhang Guang and them to enter, and ran to inform Jiang Chong.

Jiang Chong probably didn't expect Liu Zhi to fake the holy decree, and when he heard the holy decree, he thought that Liu Che had given him some new task, so he hurriedly ran out to receive the decree. After Zhang Guang finished reading the holy decree, he immediately asked people to tie him up and escort him away before Jiang Chong could react. Seeing that Jiang Chong had been arrested, the other people in the official office hurriedly ran to report to Han Shuo and Zhang Gan.

After Zhang Guang took down Jiang Chong, he rushed to the mansion of Hou Han Shuo non-stop. Han said that he was the great-grandson of Han Wangxin, and his elder brother Han Yan was Liu Che's hair, and he had made many military exploits. When he heard that the holy decree had arrived, he was stunned at first, and now what kind of holy decree did the emperor issue in Ganquan Palace?

Han said that when he saw the dusty Zhang Guang walking in, he knew that the comer was deceitful, and these guys didn't look like they were sent by the emperor to deliver the holy decree, so they didn't want to accept the holy decree, Zhang Guang preached loudly again: "The holy decree has arrived, and the Taoist Hou will receive the decree." ”

shouted twice, Han said that he just stood there and did not move, Zhang Guang said angrily: "According to Daohou, you dare not accept the holy decree, do you want to rebel?" ”

Han said disdainfully, "May I ask who you are?" How come I have never seen you by Your Majesty's side? ”

Zhang Guang knew that something was wrong, and thought that this Han Shuo was already suspicious, so he thought that before leaving, the prince had told him that anyone who resisted would be killed. So he immediately pulled out his long sword and stabbed it at Han Shuo's chest, Han Shuo was also a general who had experienced a hundred battles, and his skills were extraordinary, he hurriedly dodged, dodged Zhang Guang's sword, and immediately ran to the inner room. Unarmed, he went into the inner room just to take his long sword out to fight Zhang Guang, who knew that in the panic, the soles of his feet stumbled and his whole body fell to the ground, Zhang Guang immediately stepped forward and stabbed his sword at his heart, Han Shuo screamed and screamed.

Zhang Guang and they hurried to Zhang Gan's house, at this time Zhang Gan had fled without a trace, it turned out that someone who pointed directly to the official office came to report the news, Zhang Gan heard that something was not good, so he immediately fled and went to Ganquan Palace to report.

It seems that Liu Ju's plan is still flawed, and he actually asked Zhang Gan to go to Ganquan Palace to report the news.

Soon Liu Ju got the news that Jiang Chong had been arrested, Han Shuo had been killed, and Zhang Gan had escaped, and this time his reaction was fast enough, and he immediately ordered someone to take Jiang Chong to Dongshi for execution, and he personally went over to supervise and behead him.

Seeing that Jiang Chong had become his own prisoner, remembering that He Ruhou was arrested on the gallop road and humiliated himself, and he was triumphant in the palace yesterday, Liu Ju couldn't wait to step forward and kill him with a sword.

Jiang Chong has already been tied up by Wuhua Dahua, and together with a large group of Hu Wu, they have been tied up to the execution ground to prepare for punishment. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and I saw Liu Ju step forward and point at Jiang Chong and scolded loudly: "You Zhao State slave, extremely vicious, in the early years in Handan, you disturbed your master, King Zhao and his son, and now come to Chang'an and want to provoke the relationship between our father and son, what are your intentions, the reason is intolerable, the knife and axe, quickly behead me." ”
