Guo Kun looked at Lin Jue in a daze, and sighed: "I can't make this decision, I have to go back and discuss with my father, this matter is ...... I can't be the master alone. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I understand, then please ask the eldest brother to go back to the palace immediately to discuss with the prince, and a decision must be made before midnight and inform me." Please bring a message to your father-in-law, leave the green mountains without worrying about the lack of firewood, take a step back and open the sky, and don't hold unrealistic illusions. Taking risks for the sake of a slim hope will harm yourself and your loved ones. ”

Guo Kun stood up and said softly, "I'll bring the words." I'll go first. ”

Lin Jue got up and arched his hand: "Be careful on the road." ”

Guo Kun nodded and turned around and walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, looked at Lin Jue and asked, "If I attack the palace, will you help me?" ”

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, frowned and slowly shook his head: "No, because I have no chance of winning, and you don't have any chance of winning." ”

Guo Kun nodded and said, "I understand." Lin Jue, you must take care of my sister-in-law, don't let her be hurt. And also...... If possible...... Ay! That's it, let's go. ”

Guo Kun wanted to speak and stopped, turned around and lifted the curtain, and strode out.

Lin Jue looked at the shaking door curtain in a daze, his heart was very anxious, he faintly felt that Guo Kun seemed to be about to do something stupid, and there was something unsettling in his words.

But at this moment, Lin Jue had no time to think about these things, and now that time was extremely tight, Lin Jue had to make all preparations for the evacuation of the capital.

Turning his head, Lin Jue found that Shen Tan and Ma Bin were both looking at him in a daze. Lin Jue smiled and said, "Two brothers, what about you?" Would you like to go to Funiu Mountain with me? Or would you rather stay? Maybe it won't hurt you, and I won't force it. ”

Shen Tan and Ma Bin glanced at each other, and Ma Bin arched his hand and said, "Of course we have to go, you are all gone, what does it mean for us to stay here?" Besides, how could Guo Xu let us go? I have a close relationship with you, how can they not know it, but just pretend to be confused. ”

Shen Tan said in a deep voice: "Of course I really want to follow you, but it depends on what the prince and the little prince mean." If they don't leave, how can I leave my post without permission? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "You're right, so I want you to persuade the prince and the little prince to leave after you return to the palace." It's never okay to stay here. Come on, let's briefly discuss the matter of evacuation, and we need to plan to leave, otherwise we can't go even if we want to. ”

……

The first shift has passed, and the palace is dark, and there is no scene of the brilliant palace lights in the past. Almost all palaces did not have lanterns, and the palace maids and eunuchs were closely guarded and were not allowed to move around without permission. Almost all the people in the palace realized what was happening, and for these little people, they didn't know what fate would happen to them next, and they could only shiver in the dark and pray to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that bad luck would not befall them.

The palace gate is closed, the palace wall is up and down, and the figure of the forbidden army in front of the palace is lurking in the dark, tightly guarding the palace gate and palace wall, the arrow is wound, the knife is unsheathed, and it is ready to fight at any time.

In the darkness, a dim palace lamp swayed from Yanhe Hall all the way to Daqing Gate. The palace gate slowly opened a small crack, and two attendants escorted a well-built old man out of the palace gate one after the other, and slowly walked towards the Privy Council Yamen in the east.

This old man is Lu Zhongtian, who has a huge pomp and circumstance on weekdays, but on such a night, Lu Zhongtian only brought two entourage, which is quite surprising. That's because Yang Jun, who received a summons from the emperor not long ago, rushed to the gate of the palace, and he was particularly sensitive to the dangerous aura after a long time on the battlefield. When he stood in front of the palace gate and saw the closed palace gate and the dark inner courtyard of the palace, he sensed the smell of danger. So he refused to enter the palace, and instead went to the Privy Council with his guard battalion. Naturally, he did not do this to resist the decree, but he wanted to spend time investigating what was going on in the palace, and he couldn't rush into the palace.

After receiving the news, Lu Zhongtian had to go out of the palace to see Yang Jun in person, if Yang Jun became suspicious, he must immediately convince him before he acted. If you can't convince Yang Jun, then things can get tricky. In order to show his sincerity, Lu Zhongtian did not bring any guards, only took two entourages to illuminate with lanterns, and rushed alone to have a showdown with Yang Jun. In fact, this is also a huge risk, once Yang Jun turns his face, Lu Zhongtian will die without a place to be buried, but at this moment, Lu Zhongtian has to take a risk.

The door of the Privy Council was brightly lit, and Yang Jun's personal guard battalion soldiers stood in a large row, all of them tall and strong. The two beast carvings in front of the Privy Council were also particularly powerful and ferocious in the shadow of the light. The Privy Council is already a majestic yamen, and at this moment, it makes people feel murderous and imposing.

"Who? The Privy Council shall not trespass. Seeing Lu Zhongtian approaching, someone shouted loudly.

Lu Zhong ordered someone to send a name post, and said loudly: "Go and report to your Yang Shumi, just say that Lu has come to see him." ”

Someone quickly reported to the door, and soon after, Yang Jun's laughter came from inside the door, and he appeared at the door with a long shadow.

"Lu Xiang, why are you here? It's so late, where did Lu Xiang come from? It's the first time in a few years that I've been patronized by Prime Minister Lu, and it's really brilliant. The old man couldn't wait to beat the gongs and drums to celebrate. Although Yang Jun was laughing, there was not the slightest sense of joy in his words, but his voice was cold and hostile.

Lu Zhongtian stepped forward and said, "Yang Shumi said that he laughed, this is Yang Shumi's yamen, what am I doing on weekdays?" Yang Shumi didn't go to the palace, and the emperor sent the old man to see what was going on. ”

Yang Jun laughed and said, "Really? The emperor has a heart, the old man has already arrived at the palace gate, and the temporary yamen has an urgent matter, so he came to deal with it. There was a delay. I didn't expect the emperor to be in such a hurry, and actually asked Lu Xiang to invite him personally, which is unaffordable. ”

Lu Zhongtian refused to talk to Yang Jun anymore, and stepped forward and said softly: "Lord Yang, let's take a step to talk, I have something important to discuss." ”

Yang Jun sneered and said, "I also have something to discuss with you." So, come with the old man. ”

After saying that, Yang Jun stretched out his hand, grabbed Lu Zhongtian's wrist, and pulled Lu Zhongtian to the yamen. Lu Zhongtian only felt as if he was wearing a red-hot iron hoop on his wrist, and it hurt so much that he was clutched. Don't look at Yang Jun is a head shorter than Lu Zhongtian, and he is not a few years younger than Lu Zhongtian, but the strength of this hand is not inferior to that of a middle-aged man, and Lu Zhongtian's hand hurts, and he can't break free at all, and his body is involuntarily dragged into the yamen.

Lu Zhongtian smiled reluctantly as he walked: "Yang Shumi let go, can the old man still go?" ”

Yang Jun didn't answer, and dragged Lu Zhongtian to the second hall to stand still before letting go. Lu Zhongtian rubbed his aching wrist and was about to say two joking words, when suddenly there was a sound of waves, white light flashed, and a cold air on his neck was pressing. When he looked closely, he realized that it was a long sword around his neck.

Yang Jun held the long sword and shouted coldly: "Lu Zhongtian, you are so bold. What happened to the emperor? ”

Lu Zhongtian was shocked: "Yang Shumi, what is this for?" ”

Yang Jun sneered: "Don't think that everyone else is a fool, the old man has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has been immersed in the court for many years, can't you see the catty in it?" King Huai has been in the palace for more than three hours, and he has not come out after dark. Not long ago, you and Wu Chunlai hurriedly entered the palace. The gate of Ouchi Palace has been tightly sealed since dusk. Just two hours ago, a palace guard pursued a eunuch who had escaped from the palace outside the Xihua Gate, and shot many people. Hehe, looking at me, is Yang Jun an ornament? All I have to do is have someone to find out, and I'll find out everything at once. ”

Lu Zhongtian was stunned for a long time, reached out and pushed the long sword around his neck away, and said in a deep voice: "Admire!" Sure enough, it was Yang Shumi, and in a short period of time, he knew so much. In this case, the old man doesn't have to talk nonsense anymore. Yang Shumi, the old man told the truth, the emperor died, and the crown prince Guo Mian also died. ”

Yang Jun exclaimed in astonishment, "What? The emperor died? The crown prince is also dead? You guys...... What did you do? Lu Zhongtian, you are so bold. Do you dare to kill the emperor, dare to kill the crown prince? ”

Lu Zhongtian sighed and said, "The old man hasn't finished talking yet. The Queen Mother also drove to the west. The queen mother and Concubine Rong also died. ”

Yang Jun was shocked and speechless, and suddenly shouted coldly: "Crazy, are you crazy?" How can you do that? Was it your idea? How can you be so crazy? ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "It's not the old man, it's all Guo Xu's doing." The old man rushed to stop it, but it was too late. Zhao Yuankang, the former soldier and horse envoy of the palace, was Guo Xu's person, and Guo Xu instigated this usurpation and bloodbath. The old man rushed to the palace when he noticed that something was wrong, but Guo Xu had already made a big mistake and was irreparable. That's why the old man ordered someone to invite you into the palace in the name of the emperor to discuss this matter. Now only you and I can work together to deal with the aftermath. You didn't enter the palace, but the old man couldn't wait, so he could only come to see you. ”

Yang Jun was still in shock, and only after a while did he come to his senses and sneered: "Lu Zhongtian, you don't pretend to be cowardly. Push the matter off the ground. This matter must have been planned and instructed by you, why did you put all the responsibility on Guo Xu? When am I a three-year-old? Zhao Yuankang is Guo Xu's person? Joke! How can Guo Xu be able to install a person like Zhao Yuankang by the emperor's side? If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Yuankang entered the palace fifteen years ago. At that time, Guo Xu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, how could it be his arrangement? He's clearly your man, and you're the one who orchestrated all this, isn't he? ”

Lu Zhongtian stared at Yang Jun and said coldly: "The old man does have the idea of taking risks, there is no denying this. But the old man will never do anything to kill the king, nor can he do anything to slaughter the harem. If the old man acts, at most, he will abolish the prince's confinement and force the emperor to upload to Guo Xu, how can he do those murderous things. Do you think that's good for me? ”
