There is only one day left for the "Guanghua Tigers" to arrest the assassins, except for searching for Jianghu people all over the city, they seem to have no other way, the results are very fruitful, the prisons are almost full, and there are more than ten bodyguards in the Tihou Mansion who used to be Jianghu people, and now they don't even dare to go out of the gate.

Han Ruzi didn't go out either, staying at home and waiting for news, and Yang Feng was all running around outside.

After his wife's teaching, he was not as excited as yesterday, greeted warmly, sat down peacefully, flipped through a few books, and said to Han Ruzi: "Shangguan Sheng will show up tomorrow, at most ten days, the eighth battalion of the guards will be able to control the entire capital, we all know that the so-called tracking down of the assassin is just an excuse, Shangguan Sheng's hand will definitely stretch out longer and longer, until it enters the camp of the southern and northern armies." ”

"Presumably, if the threat of the southern and northern armies is not resolved, the Queen Mother will not be at ease."

"So we have to have a final plan, we can't just wait."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, raised his arm and beckoned, the King of the East China Sea immediately got up and walked over, Han Ruzi whispered: "Let the southern and northern armies come to Baiqiao Town to garrison first, and put a little pressure on the Queen Mother and Shangguan Sheng." ”

"This is no problem, it is already underway, and within five days, the Southern and Northern armies will be stationed together in Baiqiao Town like brothers."

"When the time comes, I hope that there will be a little conflict between the northern and southern armies."

"Huh? It's easy to let those guys clash, but the time is not easy to control, and the Southern and Northern armies are the brothers waiting to divide the family property, and they may fight at any time. ”

"So I need your help. The Northern Army will only send a small number of soldiers to Baiqiao Town, and the general who leads the team should be Cai Xinghai, who will listen to my arrangement, usually forbear, and anger the Southern Army at a critical moment. But you have to let Cui Taifu restrain a little, don't bully more and less, wipe out all the northern army led by Cai Xinghai at once, and let the situation develop little by little until it attracts the attention of the imperial court. ”

"I understand, the southern and northern armies are deadlocked, and if the Queen Mother and Shangguan Sheng want to seize power, they may send eight battalions of guards, once the guards in the city are empty......"

Han Ruzi nodded, he joined forces with the King of the East China Sea, and he could control more than a thousand dead soldiers, which was enough to launch a palace d'état.

The King of the East China Sea thought for a while, "What if the Queen Mother and Shangguan Sheng are not fooled?" ”

"Then I'll have to find a way to get out of the capital."

"It's decided, at most half a month, we can do it. The Eighth Camp is not monolithic, and I have already contacted some people, and at the end of the day, they will be able to help. ”

"Don't leak the news until you do it."

"Of course, would I make that kind of mistake? Those people thought that we were still competing for the throne and electing the emperor, even if I helped, I would find other excuses, and when they reacted, you have already ascended the throne in the Tai'an Palace. Ministers have this advantage, as long as there is an emperor on the throne, no matter who it is, they will honestly kowtow. ”

"Also, we have to find a way to get in touch with the palace......"

"My mother is also in the palace, and I will never let the Queen Mother hurt them. In fact, the princess has contacted some people in the palace, and it is said that the queen mother is now 'crazy' even more serious, hiding in the Taizu's clothing room every day to repent, always recognizing the wrong person, thinking that Emperor Si is still alive. Hmph, pretending to be quite similar, the people in the palace don't doubt it at all. ”

The two began to discuss the details of the plan, and they both felt that as long as Shangguan Sheng was fooled out of the city, the palace change was still very likely to succeed, which was different from the last palace change made by the Cui family, once they captured the palace, they did not need to avoid the ministers, but could count on their support.

One of the king's attendants came running and asked to see him outside the door, and the king of the east sea went out to talk to him for a while, and when he came back, he smiled and said, "Those scholars are making trouble again." ”

"Huh?"

"You arranged it, a group of disciples of Guozijian and Taixue are petitioning in front of the main gate of the palace, hoping that the emperor will immediately issue an edict, and they will put pen to paper and go to the north to fight with the Huns."

But this was indeed not arranged by Han Ruzi, he didn't ask Guo Cong and the others for help at all, "So, Jin Chunzhong and the others have already spread the news." ”

"The movements of the Huns can always cause controversy in the government and the opposition, so it depends on how the Queen Mother responds."

More and more news came, the Xiongnu envoys claimed that if there were no peace talks, Dadan Yu would lead his troops south, in the ears of the subjects of Great Chu, how it seemed like a provocation and threat, since Emperor Wu defeated the Huns, the Chu people have long been unaccustomed to seeing such an arrogant behavior, hearing the rumors, all angry and abnormal.

Years of disasters, inaction, and greedy officials...... The Chu people had long been holding back their anger, and they were unexpectedly ignited by the "threat" of the Huns.

More and more scholars joined the palace gate to petition, and the hatred of the common people was more direct, and they walked out of the city gate in groups and came to the post house outside the city to beat the Xiongnu envoy to death.

The severity of the situation far exceeded Han Ruzi's expectations, but the King of the East China Sea thought that all this was arranged by him, and every time he got the news, he turned his head and congratulated Han Ruzi, "Great, you have succeeded again, it turns out that you have so much power in your hands, and you didn't tell me beforehand." Haha, how can the Queen Mother pretend to be crazy? ”

The palace gate petition has not been answered, and no one has come out to disperse, but the post house outside the city is full of dangers, and the post man himself came forward to intercede with the people, thinking that the two countries would not fight and persuade some people to retreat, but more and more people could not stand up.

At dusk, Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Biyuan, came to see the Marquis of Ti again, and this time he brought a small group of people, all of whom were Xiongnu envoys pretending to be Chu Min.

Yicheng knew that he couldn't stop it for long, but he couldn't let the Hun envoy die in the post house, so he persuaded the people at the front door and secretly asked the Marquis of Biyuan to take the Hun envoy away from the back door.

The Marquis of Biyuan had no relatives and friends, and he did not dare to stay at home, so he was sent to the Tired Marquis's Mansion.

More than ten Hun envoys all looked flustered, and Jin Chunzhong was also frightened, he didn't expect that the news he spread would cause such a big incident.

The King of the East China Sea has not left yet, and strongly advises Han Ruzi not to take these people in, "You are the one who lit the fire, how can you lead the fire to your own house?" Find them an inn, it's best to hide it, you can't hide it, look at their own creation, no matter what the result is, it will have no effect on you, even if you want to negotiate with the Huns in the future, Da Shan Yu will not care about these lives. ”

Han Ruzi still left them behind.

He is one of the few staunch peace-negotiators, and he does not want to get into trouble, not because he wants to deal with enemies who are far away, but because he has seen too many internal troubles with his own eyes and knows that Da Chu cannot withstand another large-scale war.

The Marquis of Biyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to show that he was not a coward, he also stayed in the Tired Marquis Mansion and lived in a small courtyard in the back house with the Xiongnu envoys.

It was dark, and not long after the king of the East China Sea left, Guo Cong and several doctors from Guozijian came to visit, this time not to show their support, but to question the position of the Marquis against the Huns.

As Yang Feng said, the biggest difference between scholars and aspirants is that they insist, one of which is that the state of etiquette must not bow to the barbarians.

Han Ruzi swore to the sky that he would never give up an inch of land to the Huns, "Every piece of land and every city in Dachu is a broken iron city to me, as long as I am here, I will not back down, there are millions of troops under my command to defend, there is only one person left, I will still stay on the city wall." ”

Guo Cong and the others were satisfied, and Han Ruzi took the opportunity to say: "Great Chu is a kingdom, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, the Huns want to start a war, it's very good, there are vast battlefields outside the frontier." The Xiongnu envoys are in my mansion, and I will not only take them in, but also lead the army to send them back to the outside of the Saiwai, so that they can inform Shan Yu that the Chu army has come to fight. ”

What moved Guo Cong and others was not only this statement, but also the performance of the tired marquis in the Broken Iron City, he had proven that he was the general of Zhenbei who did not give up an inch of land, and what he said was naturally more worthy of belief.

Han Ruzi did not mention the threat of peace talks and the West, these things can be understood by the Marquis of Piyuan, who was born in the army, but it is difficult for Guo Cong and others, who have studied the books of sages and sages, to accept.

Several people said goodbye, Guo Congwan took a step and quietly said to the tired marquis: "Mr. Qu has sent a letter, he has been out of the customs, and he is lobbying the county guards in various parts of the Kanto region to recommend the tired marquis to them. ”

Han Ruzi thanked him, and Guo Cong said: "The fish leaps over the dragon gate, only in one battle, and the tired Hou perseveres, don't disappoint the people of the world." ”

Guo Cong once persuaded the tired marquis to withdraw from the competition, but when he felt that the tired marquis was worthy of assistance, he was the most determined one.

It was almost midnight when Yang Feng came back, he ran around for a day, but did not find more clues, "I have asked people to ask about the heroes in the capital, and in recent months, no one has received young robbers." I could no longer hide the news, so I informed Lien Danchen at noon, and he asked the prisoners in the cell, but he did not get any clues. ”

Yang Feng was very tired, but his expression was still tense, and he sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, "I think we made a mistake." ”

"Yang Gong, please speak."

"It's useless to just stare at the assassins, we need to find those prestige."

"Those who are fake hopefuls? They are the Queen Mother's people, either hiding under the Queen Mother's wings, or they have been killed, where can they find it? ”

Yang Feng shook his head, "Tired Hou told me that the King of England was assassinated, Yuan Zifan was very surprised, did Tired Hou think that was also pretending?" ”

"Hmm...... I think Yuan Zifan was really surprised. ”

"So Yuan Zifan may not really know about the assassination, and when he saw the assassination of the British king, he was very scared, and he would not ask the Queen Mother for help, and he was more likely to escape."

"What Yang Gong said makes sense, can you find him?"

Yang Feng sighed tiredly, "Let Shangguan Sheng look for it first, what he ignored is what I want to pay attention to." If Shangguan Sheng finds someone first, we will have to think of another way. ”

"What did we do in the first place?"

Yang Feng nodded, and was about to speak, when a knock on the window suddenly sounded outside, not a knock on the door, but a knock on the window, the sound was not loud, and it could be heard by the people in the house just now.

Han Ruzi and Yang Feng glanced at each other, but they didn't ask, Yang Feng got up, opened the door to check, and when he saw the people outside, he was obviously stunned, took two steps back, held on to the door, and invited the visitor into the house.

Meng E's elder brother Meng Che walked in, stood in front of Han Ruzi, opened his arms, said that he didn't bring weapons, and then said, "I'll pass the word for the Queen Mother." (To be continued.) )
