Chapter 219: The Return of the King (3)

When the queen arrived, she asked anxiously, "Can your father reply?" ”

Zhang Yingying shook her head with a bad face and handed the letter to the emperor.

The emperor read the letter, in which Zhang Liao said some nonsense without pain, and asked the empress to persuade the emperor not to go against the prime minister, and did not say a word about sending troops to help, and his position was self-evident.

A few days ago, when he learned that Yan's edict ordered Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to return to Beijing, the emperor consulted with the empress, or he could persuade Zhang Liao to become the right-hand man who overthrew the prime minister's mansion. The empress is his own daughter, and Zhang Liao has always been loyal, and the emperor only feels that there is great hope, so he is excited about it for several days.

Unexpectedly, after sending someone to contact, it turned out to be such a result. The emperor didn't want to fight, but he still had a glimmer of hope for Zhang Liao, and now he learned that Zhang Liao had no hope of fighting, so he made up his mind to ambush everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But what the emperor didn't expect was that the official document of Lu Bu's return tomorrow was just fake news, and the fake news from the forged official document was deliberately released by Yan Xiuli to him.

In today's Anyi City, everyone knows that tomorrow, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who has been missing for nearly two months, will return to Anyi. If the prime minister shows up on time tomorrow, then the rumors of the prime minister's death that spread before will be self-defeating.

The chaos in the city these days has made ordinary people feel some worries, the situation in the court is like fire and water, even the people have heard of it, the wine shop and teahouse spread the current politics of the day almost every day, every Anyi person, will not help but think, if Anyi Hou Lu Bu is really as rumored, died in battle or died of illness in a foreign land, then it has been calm for more than ten years, and the land of Bingzhou, which is thriving, may repeat the mistakes of more than ten years ago.

People are used to living a peaceful and leisurely life, who would want a better life to be shorter?

After the news spread that Lu Bu was about to return to the court, the happiest people should be these people in Anyi City, because if the prime minister does not die, they can continue to enjoy the policy of benefiting the people set by the prime minister, and the light taxes alone are enough to make the simple people support him from the bottom of their hearts.

The prime minister rewarded birth, promoted the popularization of folk education, and more importantly, the strict laws made every Anyi person feel that they were living in the best era, even if compared with the flowery Han Dynasty, they were afraid that it was much stronger, because at that time, Hedong Anyi was only a deserted small city, far from the prosperity it is today.

As the subjects of the fiefdom of the Marquis of Anyi, their sense of belonging to the prince is much stronger than that of the emperor. This makes the folk atmosphere much more peaceful than the fierce-for-tat confrontation in the court. Except for some students who were born in big families and were easy to be bewitched by others, everyone was elated, waiting for the return of Prime Minister Lu Bu tomorrow, just like relatives who had been waiting for a long time to return from their hometown.

Compared with the joy of the people, there is still a tense atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Since half a month ago, the emperor sent people to assassinate him in a desperate attempt to succeed, almost everyone on duty in the Xiangfu was on duty, even on the long street outside the Xiangfu, it was also ten steps and one sentry, one hundred steps and one post, and the Xiangfu was included in the defense circle within a radius of one mile, and General Wei Yue personally commanded it.

Two days ago, Guo Yan and Ding Xu returned from Shouchun, and they also brought the most detailed information about Shouchun.

Yan Xiuli asked Lu Bu in detail about the history of his disappearance, and couldn't help but feel desperate, no one can survive in that environment, the rolling flood is by no means comparable to the gently flowing river, that huge impact, how can mortals be able to resist, once a person falls into it, how can there be hope for survival.

Even so, Yan Xiuli still beat her spirits and asked her about the origin of the official letter, Guo Yan and Ding Xu were both at a loss, they didn't know what the letter was, the letter arrived many days earlier than them, and it stands to reason that they should leave Shouchun first. can know that when Guo Yan and Ding Xu left Shouchun, there was no news of the prince, not to mention that the prince wrote a letter and determined the date of the return of the class teacher, which is simply nonsense.

Now that the prime minister is returning to the city, the prime minister will not arrive tomorrow, and I really don't know how it will end then.

Lu Xing has been a little abnormal recently, he was originally a little taciturn, but now he is much more active than before, perhaps stimulated by the assassination time, Lu Xing uncharacteristically cares about the affairs of the soldiers, and mixes among the guards every day, assembling armor and bows, and not lagging behind others in morning exercises.

In the eyes of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is like seeing the sun rising in the west, you must know that Lu Xing likes to read since he was a child, and he has always scolded him for dancing knives and guns, and Lu Xing has been weak since he was a child, so Lu Bu and Yan did not force him to practice martial arts.

Now that Lu Xing has taken the initiative to practice his fists and feet, how can he not surprise everyone.

Just now, the Prime Minister's Mansion had just finished a meeting, and the heads of various ministries gathered together to discuss the arrangements for welcoming the prince tomorrow.

Except for a few people who knew that this was just a show, the others didn't know the inside story, in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, Yan Xiuli strictly controlled the leakage of official documents, and still arranged to welcome them, everything went according to plan, just like the prime minister would inevitably return tomorrow.

Sima Lang said that now the situation is already on the same page, tomorrow is the last chance to make a move, the emperor will never sit still, he will definitely make a desperate bet, set up an ambush on the way, and then ambush Yan and Lu Xing as hostages, so that he has the capital to compete with the prince.

Yan Xiuli threw out the false news that her husband was about to return to the city, just to cause the emperor to act rashly and take risks, so that she could have the opportunity to cut off the emperor's armed wings and eliminate the unstable factors in the city.

Now everything is developing in the expected direction, and the fake news has made the Xiangfu soldiers unprecedentedly united, but in the palace, it is the opposite, the battle and the dispute have long been overturned, but they have been tightly suppressed by the emperor and his Shang Shuling.

The situation seems to be very good, but there is still a thorn in the hearts of Yan Xiuli and several military advisors, that is, where did the two family letters and official documents that earned a respite for everyone come from, and who wrote them? What is his purpose?

This is like an unknown mystery, if it can't be solved, Yan Xiuli can't sit back and relax.

The crowd dispersed, each preparing for tomorrow's affairs, and although everything had been prepared for many days, it was still necessary to review it carefully, so as not to omit anything and spoil tomorrow's event.

Yan Xiuli summoned Lu Xing, and told him to wear a close-fitting inner armor tomorrow, although the party outside the city tomorrow is foolproof, but the army is outside, many things may not be as imagined, and you still need to be more careful.

As Lu Bu's only son, Lu Xing must attend tomorrow, otherwise the emperor will notice that something is wrong. This is Yan Xiuli's ultimate goal, using herself as bait to attract the emperor to act rashly, and she will take the opportunity to never suffer in the future and defeat the enemy with her backhand.

was looking at himself, but when he saw Lu Xing kneeling in front of him for a long time, he twitched in his heart: "What do you have to say?" ”

"The son has made a mistake, and he wants his mother to plead guilty." Lu Xingbai fell to the ground.

Stopping what she was doing, Yan Xiuli sat upright and asked, "What mistake did you make?" ”

"The son faked his father's handiwork and deceived his mother, almost causing the assassin to hurt his mother, and the son was ashamed for a few days, and tomorrow he faced a great test, and the son was terrified and asked his mother to punish him."

One sentence set off a storm in Yan Xiuli's heart.

"You're saying you forged the letter?" Yan Xiuli's voice was full of emotion.

"The mother is seriously ill and difficult to recover, and the son originally wanted to let the mother relax and let the condition get better faster, but he did not expect that it would cause these many changes, which is definitely not what the son wants."

Lu Xing looked annoyed and depressed, and he didn't dare to look up.

Yan Xiuli finally realized at this time, no wonder these days, Lu Xing's behavior is different from usual, I thought it was just that he was frightened by his assassination, but now I think that the strangeness is not as simple as being frightened.

"Is it your own idea?"

Yan Xiuli would never believe that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child would have the audacity to make a claim and deceive a group of forces from the two sides of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Palace.

"It's all my son's idea, and it has nothing to do with others."

Yan Xiuli laughed angrily, pointing at Lu Xing who couldn't say a word for a long time, and the misery in her heart was beyond words, not to mention the ecstasy when she got the letter and the great disappointment when she found out that something was wrong, just because of the many disputes caused by this letter, it was enough to put everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion in danger.

Besides, if Yan Xiuli and the others did not discover the authenticity of the letter, and really regarded tomorrow as the day of the end of the catastrophe, they would not take the initiative to take precautions and block the large-scale assassination of the emperor and others, what would be the situation of today's Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan Xiuli couldn't think about it.

"Where is Yan Chao, summon Pang Yuan to see."

Yan Xiuli knew that this matter was by no means something that Lu Xing could plan alone, Pang Yuan and him were almost inseparable, and I am afraid that his credit was indispensable to this, so he immediately ordered Yan Chao to summon Pang Yuan to meet him. After a while, Pang Yuan and Lu Xing confronted each other to see how he could protect him.

"Mother, Mr. has nothing to do with this time, the letters are all written by the son, the mother should know that the son is good at calligraphy, can imitate anyone's calligraphy, and the son is absolutely untrue."

Lu Xing burst into tears, which showed the intention of returning to the teacher Pang Yuan.

Soon, Pang Yuan came with the order, and without waiting for Yan Xiuli to ask carefully, he had already stepped forward and bowed: "All plans are my ideas, Gongzi is just the executor, and if Madam wants to blame, blame me." ”

"Heh, you're really, but why did you do that?" Yan Xiuli remained silent and said coldly.

"There is no news from the prince, the emperor and all forces are ready to move, if they don't use extraordinary measures, they will only sit back and wait to die. With the news of the return of the prince, all parties are in a hurry to take action, and naturally we can take advantage of it, even if it is dangerous, it is far better than sitting on a mountain and eating nothing. Pang Yuan talked eloquently.

"You can deceive for a while, and how can you deceive for a lifetime! Tomorrow is the time of the return of the prince you are talking about, and how will you end up then? ”

"As long as we act quickly, solve the emperor's threat, and stabilize the internal situation, the so-called princes of all parties only dare to move their mouths, isn't Madam ready to do it?"

Yan Xiuli was taken aback, only a few henchmen knew about her own mobilization, and even Lu Xing didn't know about it, this Pang Yuan actually knew it clearly.

"How do you know?"

"What's so difficult about this, the emperor's desperate gamble is due to human nature, and Madame's plan is also a strategy, I just see the stakes and speculate."

Yan Xiuli was even more frightened, could Pang Yuan have already calculated today's result when he tricked Lu Xing into forging a family letter? If that's the case, then this man is terrible.

"Who the hell are you?"

Yan Xiuli would not believe that a person with no name would have such a profound city, and the scheming was so far-reaching that it was difficult for people to look at it, and he counted everyone's reactions step by step.

Pang Yuan smiled, he had been planning for many days and waited for this moment, only when his value was revealed, it was the time for him to reveal his true identity.

"Contemptible Pang Tong, Zi Shiyuan, from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, friends call me Mr. Feng Xiao."
