"What Yuan Gong said really shocked us, I didn't expect us to respect the puppet emperor, it's really embarrassing." After Yuan Kui finished saying the rumor circulating in Luoyang, Zhou Bi was the first to stand up and make a statement.

Wu Fu and the others present actually understood in their hearts who initiated the spread of this rumor that was widely circulated in Luoyang City, and everyone also understood better that Yuan Kui would inevitably have a corresponding plan after the rumor. At this time, Yuan Kui brought everyone together, I am afraid this is the purpose.

Since it is a matter of planning, it is natural to set off the atmosphere before taking action and flaunt the righteousness of one's actions. Everyone knew this, so they all cooperated to make some surprised stunned expressions.

In fact, everyone is not a little confused about what Yuan Kui wants to do. The whole plan was planned by Yuan Kui alone, and it took great effort and exhaustion to do it quite carefully. The role of these people in Woolfu is only to execute the plan as it is launched in a step-by-step manner.

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Yuan Yi also got up and said indignantly: "Since today's son is a puppet emperor, we should help the true son of heaven to succeed to the throne, and it is only right to set things right." ”

Yuan Yi was originally a Taishou of Shanyang, and secretly sneaked back to Luoyang on the grounds of his mother's illness, but actually came to participate in Yuan Kui's plan.

Even though they had been prepared in their hearts and knew that Yuan Kui would definitely go to such an extreme approach, after it was really put on the table, everyone chose to remain silent collectively for the first time. After all, rebellion is not a dinner party, but a loss of head in the end, except that there is really no other way to live or there is really a complete certainty, no one dares to try it easily.

Everyone's momentary silence did not surprise Yuan Kui, the stakes were very high, and everyone would have to think about it. He wasn't worried that there would be people among them who would be timid and retreat, these people gathered here were already the core of the Yuan family's party, and the Yuan family's label had been deeply imprinted on their bodies, even if they didn't rebel, the little emperor would not let them go easily.

Sure enough, after a short silence, Wu Fu took the lead in speaking: "The rumors may not be true, and if there is no real evidence, it may be difficult to convince the public." ”

Yuan Kui understood that Wu Fu's words were not out of opposition and questioning, Wu Fu's hatred for Liu Wei and Lu Zhi and his loyalty to himself made Yuan Kui trust him very much, and among these people, Wu Fu was still relatively strong in force and relied on by Yuan Kui. Wu Fu said this question, just hoping that Yuan Kui could come up with something substantial, rather than just relying on a few rumors.

Yuan Kui naturally knew that one or two sentences of rumors were not enough to make others rebel with him, so he immediately took out something from his body.

"The edict of the first emperor is here, which is enough to prove that what I said is true!"

Really?

It was not as surprised as the echo just now, but at this time, everyone's expressions were really exaggerated. In their hearts, they only have a skeptical attitude towards the so-called Lingdi edict, and in their hearts, they only regard it as a means for Yuan Kui to disturb the situation, but when Yuan Kui really took out the edict of the Spirit Emperor, it was indeed quite a shock to everyone.

Wu Fu was the first to step forward and take the edict in Yuan Kui's hand and looked at it carefully.

The content of the edict was written to pass the throne to the prince Liu Xie, and he also ordered Jian Shuo and Yuan Kui to assist the government. There is also a seal of jade seal on it.

After reading it, Wu Fu handed the edict to Zhou Bi, and he was silent. There was no flaw in the edict, but there was still one word in Wu Fu's heart: pretentiousness.

At this time, the witnesses who can prove the edict of Emperor Ling are no longer there, and the authenticity of this edict of Emperor Ling is actually not proven. Yuan Kui has lived in the court for a long time, and it is not difficult for him to forge an edict, and the most powerful evidence of doubt about the authenticity of this edict is that if Yuan Kui really has the edict of Emperor Ling, why didn't he take it out early in the morning, and he had to wait until now that he was forced to be at a disadvantage before letting it appear?

However, Wu Fu knew that the doubts in his heart could be forgotten after thinking about it, and it was impossible to declare it. Whether this edict of the Spirit Emperor is true or not, it is a divine weapon for them to deal with the little emperor and call on the heroes of the world.

Everyone else thought the same as Wu Fu thought, and after reading the edict, they did not doubt the authenticity of the edict, on the contrary, everyone cooperated and showed a look of righteous indignation or excitement.

Yuan Kui saw that the time was ripe, and said with a look of remorse: "Kui is stupid, he was deceived by He Jin, a butcher, and ascended the throne by the puppet emperor Liu Wei, only today I know that I made a big mistake, and I regret it in my heart, I don't know what you can do to teach me?" ”

When Yuan Kui said this, he had already put on an attitude of letting everyone make a final statement. Everyone glanced at each other, and Wu Fu took the lead in saying: "Since the edict of the first emperor, Duke Yuan should lead us and other ministers to set things right and assist the true Son of Heaven to ascend the throne." ”

The others also followed in unison and said, "I am willing to drive for Taifu." ”

Yuan Kui saw that everyone was united, nodded with satisfaction, and then explained his plan and inventory, and everyone received their own action tasks, and they discussed until late at night before they dispersed from the Taifu Mansion.

After Wu Fu and the others left, Yuan Kui left Yuan Ji and Yuan Ji behind. The three of them walked into the inner hall and sat down, and Yuan Kui asked them, "What do you think of the current situation?" ”

Yuan Yi replied excitedly at this time: "Morale is available, we have the righteousness of Emperor Ling's edict, and we also sent helpers from Jizhou at the beginning, I think this uncle will be a big thing." ”

Yuan Ji's personality was relatively calm, and he said slowly: "Uncle has been planning for so long, and Wu Deyu (Wu Fuzi) and others are also very loyal, so there will be no problem in thinking about it." The most important thing now is the attitude of the Southern Army and the thoughts of Chen Liuwang. ”

Yuan Ji's words were still to the point, Yuan Kui thought for a while, and then opened his mouth and said to Yuan Ji again: "The Yulin Army has already agreed, and the Tiger Ben Zhonglang is still hesitating." But there is not much way back on his side. You've been in charge of this piece, so you have to keep an eye on it. ”

"Oh, uncle." Yuan Ji replied.

Yuan Yi listened with some curiosity and asked, "What means did my uncle use to let the southern army guarded by the Son of Heaven defect to us?" ”

Yuan Yi has been serving in other places and does not know much about the situation in the capital. The so-called Southern Army refers to the two armies of Huben and Yulin, which are collectively called the Southern Army because they are stationed in Nangong. In fact, these two armies have always had a very glorious history in the Western Han Dynasty and the early Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, they began to go downhill, and by the time of Emperor Ling, they had long lost their original bravery and scenery, and became an army of honor guard.

After Liu Wei ascended the throne, he made two military reforms to improve the treatment of soldiers, but they were aimed at the Western Garden Army and the Northern Army, two descendants of the army with strong combat effectiveness, and paid less attention to the Southern Army, which was rotten to the bone. In this way, the soldiers of the Southern Army were naturally dissatisfied, and after the second military reform, Liu Wei had already begun to dismantle and reorganize the Southern Army, and the soldiers of the Southern Army would put themselves in danger, in this case, Yuan Kui threw out an olive branch, and promised them high-ranking officials, gold, silver and jewelry, and the Southern Army couldn't help but get on a boat with him for a while.

After Yuan Kui's explanation, Yuan Yi understood. Suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but ask again: "If my uncle wants to take advantage of the Southern Army to start an incident and directly lead the army to attack the palace and kill the puppet emperor, why do you have to arrange Wu Yu and others many times." ”

Yuan Kui looked at him coldly because of Yuan Yi's anxious IQ, and asked coldly: "Boye (Yuan Yizi) is really not guarding against us when the puppet emperor Liu Wei is the puppet?" ”

Yuan Yi was speechless for a while. His knowledge of Liu Wei was limited to the various news and rumors that came to his ears. Only Yuan Kui, who had fought with him several times in the court, knew that Liu Wei had a ruthless personality and changeable methods.

At this time, although the Yuan family did not fall out openly with the Son of Heaven, the state of hostility between them was already well understood. Yuan Kui did not believe that Liu Wei did not monitor him at all, and he already knew a lot about the official office of the Unified Investigation Agency, Yuan Kui, although he still could not get a glimpse of many of the secrets, but he was still surprised by the huge power and functions it held.

Now that the little emperor's surveillance of himself has almost become something on the surface, those hawkers and fortune tellers who are always hanging in front of the Taifu Mansion do not seem to hide their true identities and purposes too much. Yuan Kui combed through his house a few days ago, and really dug up a few little emperor's spies and secretly disposed of them.

Wu Fu and the others, the little emperor will inevitably be monitored, and some of their big moves will be easily discovered by the little emperor. And the various interlocking and dazzling arrangements that Yuan Kui gave them just now were actually made for Liu Wei to see.

The ultimate goal is to attract Liu Wei's attention, and the real killing move is still the back hand left in Yuan Kui's hands. The Southern Army is one of the secret moves, and after Yuan Shao sent some people from Jizhou to assist him in the uprising, Yuan Kui actually had another new plan in his heart.

After Yuan Kui's explanation, Yuan Yi finally understood his uncle's plan to hide from the world. Although this strategy is based on the premise that Wu Fu and others become cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the little emperor, but those who achieve great things are not informal, and Yuan Yi has no guilt in his heart. In ancient times, the parents and wives who rebelled could not be abandoned, and as for the same party like Wufu Zhou Bi, who gathered together with interests, it was nothing.

"Uncle's plan is very good." Yuan Yi patted his ass.

Yuan Kui ignored Yuan Yi's flattery, and instead asked, "How is King Chen Liu's side?" ”

Yuan Ji was responsible for liaising with the Southern Army, while Yuan Yi was responsible for testing Chen Liuwang's attitude and contacting the helpers sent by Yuan Shao. Seeing Yuan Kui's inquiry, he hurriedly replied: "King Chen Liu, my nephew's identity is sensitive and inconvenient to come forward, Mr. Xin from the north has already gone over to lobby tonight, and he also brought his uncle's handwritten letter and Emperor Ling's edict." ”

Speaking of the edict of the Spirit Emperor, Yuan Yi still wanted to laugh in his heart, but they actually forged a lot of copies of the edict and used it on various occasions.

Yuan Kui said with confidence: "It's good that you have this caution, Chen Liuwang actually doesn't agree to us or not, but if you can really stand with us, it is also a good thing to put the icing on the cake." You have to watch this side closely. ”

"Whoa." Yuan Yi hurriedly responded.

"You two go and get ready. And I have a letter here, which Boye has helped me to bring to those who come from the north. Yuan Kui waved his hand and drove away Yuan Ji and Yuan Ji's widowed brothers.

When he was left alone, a deep tiredness came over him. At this time, Yuan Kui was no longer as excited as he was just now, and his command was determined, as if he had suddenly aged dozens of years and was about to die.

Every step of the incident was planned by him personally, and it can be said that it took all his energy. He is also over half a hundred years old, and he is not in the prime of life before. Originally, the body had already begun to decline, and fatigue would inevitably arise in this exhaustive planning.

However, Yuan Kui quickly strengthened his spirits. This incident can be said to have gambled on everything owned by the Yuan family, and there is no room for loss!

Yuan Kui took a deep breath. He knew that this was the final showdown with the little emperor Liu Wei.

*********

Wolf's carriage walked slowly down the street, surrounded by silence, and occasionally a soldier on patrol would stop him to ask questions, but he was allowed to go as soon as Wood's identity was revealed.

Although in Chang'an, Zhong Xuan had already begun to eat crabs - trying to lift the curfew, but Luoyang, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, had not yet reached the level of Jinwu.

But even though it is a curfew, it is only for ordinary businessmen and ordinary people, and court officials like Wu Fu walk on the streets at night, casually saying that they are working in the yamen and returning late, in fact, no one will be embarrassed.

Wu Fu was sitting in the carriage at this time, his eyes slightly closed, and his body swayed with the bumps of the carriage.

Some things, some emotions, have always been stuck in my heart.

About the Son of Heaven, about Yuan Kui's uprising, about the hatred for the little emperor and Lu Zhi, and the dream of serving the country when he was very young.

Instead of carrying Wolfer home, the carriage came to a halt in a dark alley.

The night was dark and silent.

In a few moments, there was a whisper of a murmur in the alley.
