But what Zhu Jun didn't expect was, or Zhu Jun might have expected, that in another square, in Li Zhongchen's mansion, an almost identical scene occurred.

Li Zhongchen, who has now reverted to his original name Dong Qin, has just returned from Changle Slope and brought him the same imperial book, "Your Majesty! Dong Qin cried profusely, cut the sewn imperial note in the belt of the house slave with a knife and took it out, which also contained Li Shi's Imperial Sun Shadow Flower Charge, as well as the signatures of the ministers, which not only believed that Dong Qin was coerced and forgave his sins, but also promised to immediately let him return to the Huaixi Festival, replace Li Xilie, and pacify the entire Huaining army.

In addition, the emperor of the Imperial Zanei also personally issued an edict to restore the surname and name of Dong Qin's "Li Zhongchen".

"Minister, dare not serve the belt of the Holy Lord to edict the thief? He will live up to the name of a 'loyal servant.' Li Zhongchen, who has now become a "loyal minister" again, gritted his teeth, burned all his insides, held the imperial book, and almost kowtowed in the direction of Fengtian City in the west.

Several of Li Zhongchen's cronies also gathered in the house, and after discussion, they unanimously approved the plan:

Taking advantage of the gathering of the puppet emperor and the puppet officials of the Qianlong Palace, he stabbed them, "Especially to kill Zhu Zhu, Yuan Xiu, Wang Hong, and Qiao Lin." Then he urged the pseudo-Jinwu and Beiya army in the palace to go anyway, reject Li Huaiguang externally, resist Yao Lingyan and Jiao Bochen internally, and welcome Li Sheng and Jia Tan into the city.

The so-called Qianlong Palace, that is, the original Baihua Palace, Zhu Zhu and others forced King Han to ascend the throne as a puppet emperor, and then changed the name at the suggestion of the Taoist priest Sang Daomao.

However, what Li Zhongchen didn't expect was that the actions of the people in the imperial city in the past few days could not get out of the eyes of Yuan Xiu and Wang Hong, they were not fools, after knowing that Zhu Zhu and Li Zhongchen had begun to contact the officials and soldiers of Changlepo, they immediately speculated that these people were afraid that they were going to make some bad moves.

Yuan Xiu, Wang Hong and other puppet court officials gathered together to secretly discuss.

Some people panicked, saying that while Zhu Jun and Li Zhongchen were anyway, we had to take the lead.

Yuan Xiu sneered and said You guys are too stupid - the reason why the emperor allowed Zhu Zhu and Li Zhongchen to be anyway is just because they still have use value, and as a civil servant, I have no soldiers and no power, anyway, who is patient with you anyway? It's just a dead end.

These words made everyone frightened, and suddenly the future was bloody.

"For today's plan, only the fish is dead and the net is broken, Zhu Zhu and Li Zhongchen want to kill me, we will kill him first, and then vote for Li Huaiguang, and then go back to the river." Wang Hong has always been resourceful, so ruthless.

"What if Li Huaiguang is not guaranteed immediately?"

After Wang Hong hesitated for a while, he said, Then we will return to Fu, or go to Xifan.

I don't mind if I come from the Taiyuan Wang family, what are you afraid of!

When it came to this, they could only give it a go, so Yuan Xiu and Wang Hong quickly made plans to deal with the situation.

The helpers they were looking for were Guo Forging and the nine surnamed Hu Shang, who had an armed force and enough money to buy the Jingyuan soldiers after the incident.

Although Yao Lingyan and Jiao Bochen had six or seven thousand Jingyuan soldiers and horses, stationed at the Guangtai Gate of the Forbidden Garden, and confronted Li Sheng's Shence camp, as long as the money was in place, it was not impossible for this team to turn against Zhu Jun and Li Zhongchen.

In this way, in the entire Chang'an City, the rebels began to have their own ghosts, and the undercurrents were surging.

First of all, the puppet Beiya disciples recruited by Zhu Zhu suddenly guarded the streets and city gates, and no longer let people go out of the city to Changlepo, saying that Shuntianxingdao is wise, Shengcong, benevolent and filial piety, and the emperor (King Han) will gather all civil and military officials on the first day of November.

Then Li Zhongchen secretly gathered the children and servants of the family, and then recruited the children of the pseudo-Jinwu and began to secretly collect weapons.

And the "pseudo-ministers" such as Yuan Xiu and Wang Hong, who were quiet on the surface, actually began to actively run and plan everything.

At the Guangtai Gate, where the old gods planned to camp and the 6,000 Jingyuan soldiers led by Yao Lingyan and Jiao Bochen seemed to be preparing something after receiving instructions from Fang Tingzhi, the general of Zhu Zhu's department.

Outside the city, the court officials and soldiers on three sides camped, and the situation was also different.

Jia Tan, the deputy marshal of the Sanchuan camp, was the most leisurely, and he handed over the busy work to Gao Yue and Wei Gao anyway, and spent the whole day looking at the map, or playing Go with Du Huangshang and Meng Hao;

Li Sheng of Dongwei Bridge ordered to summon Zhao Guangxian, Wang Tong (these two had not yet gone to Xingyuan Mansion to serve as assassins), Shang Kegu, Zhu Zhongliang, Luo Yuanguang, Xing Junya and other gods and generals, and ordered to wait until the date came, that is, to launch a general attack on Chang'an City.

In the northwest of Chang'an City, the camps of Hun Xuan, Duan Xiushi and Cui Ning had fought against Li Huaiguang many times before, but it was unlikely that they would enter the Beijing Division.

In the tent, Duan Xiushi meditated and played backgammon with Cui Ning Xiaojing, while Hun Xuan prepared all kinds of herbs on the side.

"Taiwei, according to your opinion, let's drive Li Huaiguang back to the river immediately, will we continue to fight Li Huaiguang in depth?"

In response to Cui Ning's inquiry, Duan Xiushi smiled silently, then lowered his hand and said slowly: "This time, the Jingshi has to rely on Li Liangqi." ”

Cui Ning didn't understand this for the time being, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood: His Majesty intends to make Li Sheng successful.

But then Duan Xiushi said that after Li Shengguang recovered from Beijing, he would definitely ask to continue the conquest of Li Huaiguang's river.

"Yes, yes." Cui Ning agreed.

"However, although Your Majesty will agree with Li Liangqi, he will not use him as a handsome."

"That ......"

"I'm afraid that I will use the sun to advance as the envoy of the river festival!" Duan Xiushi said this very faintly.

Hun Xuan, who was pounding herbs in the small bowl over there, had just recovered from an arrow wound, and when he heard this, he laughed noncommittally.

At this time, Cui Ning held his chin and beard with his hand, and secretly thought, "What about Ma Xunmei (Ma Sui)?" ”

But he didn't say this, but continued to ponder, "When the Jingshi recovers, I will also become famous, so I will resign from the military power as a servant, and make fun of my grandson in Shengpingfang in the capital, and retire with my wife and concubine!" ”

Finally, the first day of November arrived, inside and outside Chang'an City the day before yesterday, it was cold wind howling, lead clouds were dense, grass and trees were destroyed, the sky was still four watches, Zhu Zhu in Zhaoguo Fang turned over on the horse, the front and back left and right were full of armor soldiers, all raised torches, before leaving Zhu Zhu and the second son and daughter and son-in-law said goodbye, and paid attention to the henchman Li Riyue to protect it, saying that "if I succeed in a big thing, the whole family can also keep the wealth." But if there is any change, you go straight out of Qujiang Qixiamen and go to Changle Slope, and if you can escape with your life, you will escape with your life. ”

Then the sound of hooves clicked, and Zhu Jun's group quickly walked to the side street of Chongrenfang, and the outline of Daming Palace loomed in the distance.

At the crossroads, Li Zhongchen brought more than 100 children and domestic slaves, each with arrows and knives on their waists, and roared on horses.

"King Yan!" Zhu Jun hurriedly saluted.

"King Qin!" Li Zhongchen also hurriedly returned the salute.

Then the two groups of people kept their distances and stalemate.

Zhu Jun looked at Li Zhongchen, who had brought so many people, and was afraid that he would be more or less wary of himself.

No, I'm going to have to dispel his guard.

So Zhu Jun transferred the contradiction to Yuan Xiu and Wang Hong, and whispered to Li Zhongchen, "Do you know that King Yan heard that this court meeting is going to be unfavorable to you and me." ”

"Oh, it's a coincidence, I also heard the rumors, there are thieves who want to attack you, King Qin." Li Zhongchen said immediately.

Then the two of them "understood", laughed at each other, and reminded each other to be careful of the Chinese scholar Wang Hong and Yuan Xiu, and at the same time said in their hearts, "God is pitiful, this thief is dead today!" ”
