On this morning, the ministers of civil and military affairs were divided into two shifts, kneeling and kowtowing, and the mountain shouted long live.

Zhao Heng couldn't wait to ask, "How is the situation on the other side of the heavenly prison (qíng)?" ”

Liao Zhiqiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, replied: "Your Majesty, last night was another night of fierce fighting, but we deployed and prepared in advance, and the thief never moved forward. ”

Zhao Heng nodded, and then said fiercely: "I am a dignified Song Dynasty, but I was made by a thief to only parry, and I didn't have the power to fight back, which is really insulting to the emperor." Whoever has the means to kill this thief will be rewarded heavily. ”

A group of ministers exchanged heads and ears below, discussing the best way to capture the thief.

At this time, Yin Zhao Wouji of Kaifeng Mansion stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is something that has not been verified clearly, but the minister feels that it is still necessary to invite Your Majesty first." ”

"According to the report of the Kaifeng Mansion Street Patrol Officer, the White Lotus Sect lurking in Kaifeng Mansion has a new trend, Shangguan Allure has regained control of the White Lotus Sect, and is now sending people into Beijing to prepare for a forcible robbery."

"Hiss-" Zhao Heng and the ministers couldn't help but be taken aback, and changed their faces and said, "Zhao Qing, is the news reliable?" ”

"Your Majesty, the news was only obtained yesterday afternoon, and it is not very sure yet, but there are many sources, and it should not be empty."

"How is this good, a Shangguan Allure has already exhausted the imperial court, and if the White Lotus Sect is added, the Heavenly Prison will be even more dangerous." Zhao Heng sighed.

An imperial historian said: "Your Majesty, the root cause of everything lies in Ling Kun, there is really no way, just kill Ling Kun, leaving him will do all kinds of harm but no benefit." ”

"Yes, the White Lotus Sect took risks in order to save Ling Kun, and openly opposed the imperial court, as long as Ling Kun is killed, the matter (qíng) can be temporarily calmed down, and it is not too late to free up his hands in the future and slowly clean up." The other chimed in.

Zhao Heng was a little hesitant, looked at Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo and asked, "What do the two first assistants think?" ”

Wang Qinruo said: "The minister agrees with the opinions of the adults, Ling Kun is the culprit, and once Ling Kun dies, there is no need for the White Lotus Sect to be so radical. ”

"Alas, Ling Kun is my minister after all, I really can't bear to kill him, is there no other way?" Zhao Heng sighed, he promised Zhao Mingyue not to kill Ling Kun, now

broke her promise in a blink of an eye, how will you face her in the future?

"Your Majesty, this is Ling Kun's own doing." Wang Qinruo said: "He colluded with the traitor White Lotus Sect to oppose the imperial court, shouldn't he be killed?" ”

Zhao Heng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it's not me who wants to kill people now, it's him (bī) who kills people with me." Well, kill Ling Kun and throw the body to the White Lotus Sect. In the future, Zhao Mingyue will be held accountable, and he will have a statement.

"Your Majesty, slow down." Kou Zhun stepped forward and said.

Zhao Heng frowned and said, "Kou (ài) Qing doesn't agree to kill Ling Kun?" ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said: "The minister really doesn't want to kill Ling Kun, but there is no other way to kill him, so the minister thinks that it is better to do nothing, together with Ling Kun, Shangguan Allure and the White Lotus Sect, stew in a pot, and completely end the troubles for the imperial court." ”

"Of course, this couldn't be better, but the current army in the capital is limited, can it be done?" Zhao Heng asked.

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and said: "You can set up a mechanism in the Heavenly Prison, and let Shangguan Chengcheng and the White Lotus Sect enter the Heavenly Prison, and then we will destroy the Heavenly Prison in one fell swoop, and all the bandits who robbed the prison will be pressed below." ”

"This plan is very good, and it deserves to be the prime minister." Zhao Heng said excitedly: "It's just that those people are strong in martial arts and fly off the wall, how can they quickly destroy the heavenly prison and crush them to death inside?" ”

Kou Zhun groaned: "As long as there are enough preparations in advance, and there are enough manpower at that time, destroying the heavenly prison will be a matter of moments." Besides, once they enter the prison, they will enter our ambush, and it will not be so easy to break out. ”

"Great, Kou (ài) Qing, at this time, I will give you full power, the capital (jìn) army can be called up, if there are not enough manpower, my inner guards can also be controlled by you, and you must annihilate the White Lotus Sect rebels in one fell swoop." Zhao Heng said excitedly.

"Obey." Kou Zhun bowed and received the order.

Kou Zhun is a decent and upright person, and he is Ling Kun's mentor, so he should not be harmed, but he (shēn) is the first assistant and is dedicated to the country. At this time, after careful consideration, he thought that Ling Kun had no value, and if he could be used to eliminate the White Lotus Sect, it would also be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

In the past, when it was built, the idea was to make it as impregnable as possible, but at this time, a large number of craftsmen were studying how to make it fast

Collapse quickly.

Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo personally commanded the deployment in the Heavenly Prison, dispatched troops, and laid a big net for the White Lotus Sect, just waiting for them to come and go.

Before dark, everything was finally set up.

First of all, the craftsman has already hollowed out all the foundations of the Heavenly Prison, as long as an order is given, the outer (jìn) troops can work together, so that the entire Heavenly Prison can collapse in an instant, and all the people inside will be crushed in it.

Secondly, around the prison, five thousand archers were arranged, and their arrows were tied with cotton balls with tung oil, and at the first order, countless rockets (shè) would enter the prison, and then it would become a sea of fire in an instant. Even if you can't crush it, you have to be burned to death.

Again, all the forces of the capital (jìn) army were mobilized to surround the heavenly prison layer by layer, and if Shangguan Allure and the White Lotus Sect entered it, they would be surrounded with all their might, and they could only enter but not exit. Even if you can get lucky in the first two levels, you may not be able to break out of the encirclement of the (jìn) army.

In this way, it is the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, don't want to escape easily, just see if she Shangguan Allure and the White Lotus Sect bandits come.

In the afternoon, news from the Kaifeng Mansion continued to come that the White Lotus Sect was gathering in large numbers, and many bandits had come from outside the city to hide in the capital in different parts (shēn), and they would launch an attack on the Heavenly Prison just after Shangguan Allure gave an order.

"Okay, let them in, the more the better, it's best to go through this battle, you can completely destroy the foundation of the White Lotus Sect bandits, and remove this scourge for the imperial court." Kou Zhun looked up at the sky and muttered.

Wang Qinruo laughed and said: "Master Kou's plan is ruthless and vicious, Wang admires it." It's just that Ling Kun is an adult's protégé, can an adult really do it? ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "The White Lotus Sect has been plagued for a hundred years, if he can die because of Ling Kun, he will die a well-deserved death, even if he dies for the imperial court." ”

The sky will be dark, the wind will surge, and the air will be filled with a thick aura of slaughter.

It is no secret that the White Lotus Sect has a big operation, and even the people in the market are talking about it, and they return to their homes early and lock the door to avoid being harmed.

The White Lotus Sect even went from secretly infiltrating to gathering in groups of three or five, swaggering and gathering openly. The officers and soldiers watched coldly, and did not stop it, but just passed the news up in a steady stream, to Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, and Zhao Heng.
