Fang Li and his entourage quickly stepped up, and returned to Luoyang City in three or four days.

At this time, Luoyang was surrounded by the Tang army on all sides, and there were Cao Ren and other generals stationed in the city, not to mention asking for help, even the pigeons in the Zhou Palace couldn't fly out.

Zhou Tianzi Ji Zheng experienced several days of ups and downs, and at this time, he was summoning Ji Huan, Taozi and other henchmen to gather in the apse, sneakily discussing how to deal with Fang Li's return.

Originally, when he heard that Fang Li was going to lead the army to sweep away Zhai and Ji, so that Zhou would become the "country within a country" of the Tang State, Ji Zheng was shocked and frightened but helpless, and when he learned that the Qin State sent a surprise army to surround Fang Li's group in Hangu, he was so happy that he worshiped his ancestors and ancestors for a whole day.

However, Ji Zheng's ancestors obviously did not want to bless this unworthy descendant, and after being happy, he learned that Cao Cao, who was stationed in Liangdi, led a large army to help, and Ji Zheng's heart sank again.

Then there was the rollercoaster blow from hearing that Fang Li was dead to Zhai and Ji disappearing overnight, when someone reported that Fang Li was already on the way back to Luoyang, Ji Zheng breathed a sigh of relief - and then tossed back and forth, Fang Li was not dead, and he Ji Zheng was going to be scared to death first.

"Two Aiqing."

Ji Zheng looked at a few henchmen with a sad face, and said solemnly, "Then Fang Li is about to return to Luoyang, what can you do?" ”

Ji Huan and Deng Yu looked at each other, not knowing where to start.

Not only Luoyang, but even the entire palace is under the control of the Tang Army all the time, although the palace servants have not exchanged blood, who can guarantee that they have not accepted the Tang Army's bribe? When and where did Ji Zheng meet someone, they were all under Tang Jun's nose, what could he do?

Ji Zheng also knew this very well, but as long as he thought of Fang Li's arrogant face, Ji Zheng couldn't help but feel a surge of qi and blood.

Suddenly, Ji Zheng Yuguang swept down the heirloom sword hanging in the hall, and blurted out with an idea: "You say, the widow is the son of heaven, can you kill Fang Li?" ”

Ji Huan was shocked: "The Tang army is powerful, Your Majesty must not act recklessly." ”

Deng Yu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "It's not impossible. ”

"Oh?" Ji Zheng was overjoyed, "Does Qing have a clever plan?" ”

"The minister does have a plan to relieve His Majesty's worries." Deng Yu touched his beard, smiled confidently, lowered his voice and said it clearly, and Ji Zheng Jihuan nodded again and again.

"There's still a way." Ji Zheng said with a smile, "When Fang Li returns tomorrow, the widow will take the initiative to set up a banquet to entertain him, and crown him as the King of Tang. ”

Ji Huan also said: "There are more than 10,000 soldiers loyal to Your Majesty in the city, and the ministers will select more than a dozen dead soldiers from them, try to send them to the palace, and when Fang Li is poisoned and dies, he will immediately take down the rest of the rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

Ji Zheng thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was not too safe, so he immediately ordered Ji Huan to untie the belt, and wrote hundreds of words on the inside of the belt, and solemnly confessed: "Quickly send someone to secretly hand over the edict to the Duke of Qin, and let him quickly send troops to Luoyang, and join forces with the widow to destroy Fang Li, a traitor." ”

Ji Huan carefully took the edict and promised loudly.

The three of them were strategizing in the palace, but they didn't know that the chamberlain who was sent by Fang Li to monitor Ji Zheng at all times listened to it, and hurriedly asked people to inform Cao Ren, who was staying in Luoyang, of the matter.

Cao Ren was furious when he heard the news, and immediately raised his knife to kill the "traitorous ministers" such as Ji Huan and Deng Yu, who were not able to do anything, but after thinking about it and stopping, he decided to tell Fang Fang about the matter before making a decision.

Fang Li and the others hurried up, and led Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Jia Xu and other civil and military officers into the Luoyang City Gate in the evening, Cao Ren had already been waiting at the city gate for a long time, and when he saw Fang Li, he hurriedly informed the inner attendants of the news they had heard.

Fang Li sneered again and again when he heard this: "This Ji Zheng, at this point, is not honest, and he wants to give the widow an edict?" ”

In history, Emperor Han Xian couldn't kill Cao Cao, could it be that Ji Zheng, a straw bag, wanted to kill him, and Fang Li could do it?

Back in the camp, Fang Li asked the people who were also angry: "Our Majesty wants to kill the widow and hurry up, according to what you see, what should the widow do?" ”

"Humph!" Lu Bu shouted angrily first, "Even a mere child dares to hit the lord with his idea, I'm afraid I'm tired of it!" The lord, and let the minister lead the army into the palace, cut off the heads of the traitorous ministers such as Ji Huan and Deng Yu, and see if Ji Zheng Xiaoer dares to brush the beard of the lord and the tiger! ”

"General, no!" Hearing this, Jia Xu hurriedly stopped, "The lord obeys the Son of Heaven to order not to obey, it is in response to the mandate of heaven to obey the will of the people, at this time, you must not do anything to abolish your martial arts, and give up this banner to others!" ”

Fang Li thought about it carefully, and felt that what Jia Xu said was not unreasonable, and asked again: "What Mr. Yi means, is it to let the widow endure this breath?" ”

Jia Xu smiled mysteriously: "Naturally not, the lord only needs to be like this..."

Early in the morning of the second day, Fang Li received an invitation from Ji Zheng to set up a banquet for himself, and he sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be triumphant on his face and agreed to come down, and took Dian Wei to the banquet.

Zhou Tianzi naturally couldn't have a banquet for Fang Li, and all the civil and military forces of the Zhou Dynasty were present on both sides, and when they saw Fang Li going to the hall, they all stood up and said hello.

Ji Zheng was even more angry in his eyes, and secretly determined to wait for Fang Li to be killed, and none of these active flattering wall grasses could escape.

Fang Li hastily handed over to deal with it, and then made a casual gesture to Ji Zheng, and shouted in his mouth: "Minister Fang Li, see Your Majesty." ”

Ji Zhengqiang held back his anger and reluctantly complimented Fang Li a few words, and ordered someone to serve the dishes, and the banquet officially began.

Sitting on the lower right side of Ji Zheng, Fang Li secretly glanced at Dian Wei who was standing behind him, and saw Dian Wei nodding slightly with an expressionless face, he knew that everything was ready, and his heart was settled.

After three rounds of drinking, Ji Zheng, who couldn't wait for a long time, took the initiative to smile and said: "Tang Gong exterminated the rebellion and protected the widow well, it is a great achievement, the widow decided to promote the Tang State from the Duke State to the kingdom, and named the Tang Duke as the Tang King, I don't know what Aiqing wants?" ”

Fang Li dusted off his sleeves, stood up and said slowly: "Your Majesty is serious, it is all within the minister's responsibility, and I will never dare to accept this reward." ”

Ji Zheng persuaded a few more words, but Fang Li insisted that he would not accept it.

Seeing that Fang Li refused to accept it, Ji Zheng was a little anxious, and said regardless of it at the moment: "Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore, the widow has already decided" As he spoke, he quietly gave Deng Yu a look.

Deng Yu understood, smiled and walked to the front of Fang Li's seat with two glasses of wine, handed over one of them, and said flatteringly: "King Tang is not proud of his merits, he is really an example for the ministers, in order to show admiration, and also to congratulate King Tang, the officials will do it first." ”

Deng Yu drank all the wine in the cup and signaled that Fang Li should also drink it. Ji Zheng watched nervously, only to see Fang Li slowly raise the wine bottle handed over by Deng Yu, and Ji Zheng's heartbeat reached a critical point.

However, Fang Li just raised his glass, stared at Deng Yu's eyes lightly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

After all, Deng Yu had a weak heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Tang Wang..."

Fang Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, and handed the wine glass forward: "One glass, how can it be enough?" ”

Fang Li's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, Deng Yu swallowed his saliva, and said with a forced smile: "Tang Wang... What does this mean? ”

Forcibly stuffing the wine into Deng Yu's hand, Fang Li's eyes flashed with a cold light: "The widow also wants to give Lord Deng a glass in return, don't you give face?" Obviously, he wanted Deng Yu to drink all the wine.

This is the poisonous wine specially prepared by Ji Zheng and others for Fang Li, and he died as soon as he touched it, Deng Yu's lips opened and closed, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Seeing that Fang Li couldn't get into the plan, Ji Zheng was in a hurry, and seeing that Ji Huan nodded to himself imperceptibly, he immediately threw the wine glass on the ground, making a crisp sound: "Fang Li, you are bold, and your intention to commit the crime of chaos is unforgivable, and you will be arrested if you don't tie your hands!" ”

As soon as the words fell, thirty sword and axe hands poured out from all directions, shouting and rushing towards Fang Li.

Fang Li grabbed a fruit and threw it into his mouth, and said coldly: "Dian Wei, move your muscles!" ”

Fang Li's words fell, Dian Wei flashed out, a roar of anger shocked the earth, the double halberd in his hand waved, and in a moment, he actually cut down the thirty stubborn sword and axe hands.

Unexpectedly, Fang Li had a brave person by his side, Ji Zheng was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he was just about to say something, when he heard the bloody Dian Wei roar: "Come on, protect Your Majesty!" ”

At the sound of an order, hundreds of Xuanjia Tang troops quickly poured into the main hall and surrounded Ji Zhengtuan. Dian Wei also stepped up the steps in three steps and two steps, staring coldly at Ji Zheng who was paralyzed on the throne, and the double halberd was still dripping blood.
