The area around the post house is heavily guarded, and in the post house, Liu Che, Yang Jian, Su Qin, and Yang Guang, four important figures in the Luoyang court, are plotting to get rid of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Listening to Yang Guang's request to make Yang Jian the king, Liu Che stroked his thick beard with his hand, and agreed after a little thought: "Lonely and Yang Sima are closely related, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and they should be in the same boat." If the Yang family can help Gu ascend the throne, Gu will canonize the king of Yang Sima Qi, and give you the Qing and Xu states to the Yang family, and inherit them from generation to generation. ”

Although he knew that this was an empty promise made by Liu Ji temporarily, how could he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? If one day he really helped Liu Jie sweep the world, he would definitely not give away Qing and Xu to others in vain. But Yang Jian also knew that he had no choice but to choose to advance and retreat with Liu Che, and he could survive as long as he could.

"Huh...... Thank you for the love of King Fufeng, it is our duty to eradicate Liu Wei, the thief who trespasses, and we will work together through thick and thin. Yang Jian bowed and thanked Liu Che.

"I don't know if Yang Sima has a strategy to get rid of Liu Xie?" Liu Che was sitting precariously, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and asked Yang Jian slyly.

Yang Jian shook his head: "I don't have an idea in a hurry!" ”

Yang Guang was about to speak, but Yang Jian signaled him not to come out. Liu Che is the biggest beneficiary, this wicked man will let him do a good job, if the matter is exposed in the future, the Yang family can also escape responsibility; There is no need to act as Liu Che's pawn, not to mention pushing Liu Che to the throne of the emperor, but also to carry the black pot for him.

Liu Che originally planned to let the Yang family get rid of Liu Xie and reap the benefits himself. In that case, the Yang family has the handle in their own hands, and they will not let themselves handle it in the future? Unexpectedly, Yang Jian was not fooled, it seems that the title of King Qi did not dazzle him.

At the moment, he said stupidly: "Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch next to Liu Xie, is a villain who forgets his righteousness. We can use him to make a fuss and kill Liu Xie with poisonous wine. ”

Su Qin next to him spoke: "If there is Wei Zhongxian as an internal response." Killing Liu Xie will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, but how to calm public opinion after getting rid of Liu Xie? Wechen has a way of getting both. It can not only easily get rid of Liu Xie, but also make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military hate Liu to the bone! ”

"Master Su said to hear about it?" Yang Jian asked with interest, no matter which of the two of them got rid of Liu Xie, the Yang family could be regarded as an accomplice at most.

Su Qin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is a guest Guo Rui in my house, who is a trustworthy person. I have a life-saving grace for him, and I once made a vow to go to the soup and fire for me, and I will never give up. I asked Wei Zhongxian to take him into the palace, stabbed Liu Xie to death, and then blamed Liu Wei; In this way, Liu Xie can be eliminated. If you can blame Liu Wei again, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

Liu Che stroked his palm and praised: "This is very good, I will send someone to send a letter to Wei Zhongxian, asking him to assist Guo Rui in entering the palace!" ”

"Let Guo Rui kill Liu Xie and then get rid of Wei Zhongxian to prevent future troubles." Yang Jian also praised Su Qin's planning and made important additions.

Su Qin bowed his head and said: "What Yang Sima said is very true, Guo Rui also followed me to Luoyang, so I will go and call him." ”

In a few moments, Su Qin took a man with a height of seven feet and five inches. The fair-skinned swordsman came to see Liu Che and Yang Jian: "This is the ranger Guo Rui I am talking about, who killed someone in Chang'an and was captured by the messengers, and was about to be beheaded." I saw that he was very bold and skillful. took care to save his life and stayed in the house as a doorman. ”

Guo Rui arched his hand and said: "Master Su has a life-saving grace for me, and my life is his." But there is an order, never give up! ”

Liu Che immediately told him about the plan to assassinate Liu Xie. Finally, he asked, "I wonder if Guo Zhuangshi is sure?" ”

"As long as you can get close to Liu Xie, the villain will definitely live up to his mission." Guo Rui agreed. A look of death as if it were home.

Liu Che high-fived and praised: "Sure enough, he is a great husband who promises a thousand gold, Gu Zhi wants to leave, Yu let it go, what do you want?" Just bring it up, and Lone will be as you wish! ”

Guo Rui arched his hand and said: "The villain's parents have passed away, and the only person I care about is the newborn son Guo Xu, and I hope that the king will treat him well." ”

Guo Rui didn't know that his son Guo Xuan also followed the same path in the official history, first defrauding Xishu, and after enduring humiliation for many years, he successfully assassinated Fei Yi, the Shangshu Ling of Shu and the general, causing Xishu to fall into chaos. And Fei Yi is also the successor of Zhuge Liang after Jiang Wan, and his sudden death hastened the demise of the declining Shu Kingdom.

"Although Guo Zhuangshi is relieved, after you die, I will take Lingzi into the mansion and treat it as my own." Liu Che patted his chest and agreed.

Liu Che immediately sent someone to enter the Luoyang Palace to connect with Wei Zhongxian in the name of giving Wei Zhongxian wine, and invited him to come to the post house for a secret talk.

Wei Zhongxian has been operating in Luoyang Palace for eight years, and his prestige is second only to that of Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, and his words are even heavier than Empress Fu. Hearing that someone had come to bring wine to Father-in-law Wei, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate immediately respectfully took Liu Che's envoy to see Wei Zhongxian.

After dark, Liu Xie, who had been insomnia for many days, went to bed early. Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to leave Luoyang Palace and quietly rushed to the post house to meet Liu Ji, the king of Fufeng.

Liu Che didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Father-in-law Wei is a smart person, you entered the palace in the first place, naturally for the sake of glory and wealth." And once Liu Xie took the initiative to abdicate, Wei's father-in-law's future turned into smoke. After a conspiracy between Gu and Yang Sima, it was decided to assassinate Liu Xie, and he also hoped that Gonggong Wei would bring the assassin into the palace and arrange for it. If you can succeed, you will not lose! ”

Su Qin said demagogically beside him: "We have reached an agreement with the Yang family and the Zhu family, as long as we get rid of Liu Xie, we will support the Fufeng King as the emperor, and then you will be the minister of the dragon who supports the new monarch." ”

Liu Che stroked his beard and said: "If Father-in-law Wei can help Gu ascend the throne, you will be alone under the entire Luoyang Palace, above ten thousand people!" As long as you don't die for a lonely day, you will be the number one eunuch of the Han Dynasty. ”

In the past seven or eight years, Liu Xie has been a puppet emperor, and the military power and the appointment and dismissal of officials are all in the hands of the three giants of the Yang family, the Zhu family and Liu Che. Being able to climb the big tree of Liu Che, Wei Zhongxian was naturally overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The old slave is willing to serve His Majesty, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!" ”

Liu Che immediately introduced Guo Rui to Wei Zhongxian and advised: "Father-in-law Wei only needs to bring him into Luoyang Palace, and he will be fully responsible for killing Liu Xie." ”

Wei Zhongxian immediately bid farewell to Liu Che, quietly left the post house with Guo Rui, and swaggered into Luoyang Palace. In the dead of night, he led Guo Rui straight to the dormitory where Liu Xie was staying, and gave a look to indicate that Liu Xie was inside, and then look at you?

This dormitory is the important place of the entire Luoyang Palace, and there are forbidden troops and royal forest troops guarding it outside, and ordinary assassins can't sneak in at all. Therefore, there were only two little eunuchs guarding the door, who were now leaning against the pillar and napping, not aware of the danger in the slightest.

Guo Rui approached quietly with his waist down, and his shot was like the wind, which instantly resulted in the lives of the two little eunuchs. kicked open the door of the dormitory, broke into the dormitory, and swept his eyes towards the dragon bed.

"Who?" Liu Xie, who was sleeping, was startled, and sat up, "Someone, there are assassins!" ”

The sword light flashed in the dark night, and Guo Rui rushed forward with a hungry tiger: "On the order of Liu Wei, the son of the Han Dynasty, I have come to assassinate you, a traitor who usurped the emperor!" ”

"I don't believe my brother will kill me, you are a ...... sent by Liu Ji"

Liu Xie shouted loudly, and before the words fell, he only felt a heart-splitting pain in his neck, and the cool breeze suddenly swished in. The throat had been torn by a sharp dagger, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Traitor...... Liu Ji! Liu Xie covered his throat with both hands, lay down in a pool of blood and struggled in pain, and died of exhaustion after a while.

"Someone, catch the assassin!" Wei Zhongxian shouted outside the door as agreed, "Come on, Your Majesty was killed by Liu Wei's assassins, come and catch the assassins!" ”

said that it was too late, Guo Rui rushed out with an arrow and pierced Wei Zhongxian's heart with a knife from behind.

"You...... You use me! ”

Wei Zhongxian suddenly had an epiphany that he was given by Liu Jian and Yang Jian to cross the river and demolish the bridge, but unfortunately it was too late. Before a hundred or ten Royal Foresters could rush over, he curled up and fell to the ground, dying.

"It's a shame, Your Majesty has been assassinated!"

Seeing Liu Xieheng's corpse in the palace, the Imperial Forest Army was in a mess, shouting and arresting the assassin. Guo Rui wielded a dagger, and after killing several Royal Forest soldiers, his left leg was cut off and captured on the spot.

The news of Liu Xie's assassination spread quickly, and Liu Che, Yang Jian, Su Qin, Yang Guang and others had already assembled heavy troops, and immediately took control of Luoyang Palace as quickly as possible, and sent people to summon Yang Biao, Zhu Jun, Dong Cheng, Zhong Xuan and other officials into the palace.

Liu Che said with a sad face: "Your Majesty's assassination is really heartbreaking!" Fortunately, the assassin had been captured by the Imperial Guards and could be interrogated by Su Qin overnight. ”

Just when the civil and military officials were discussing how to deal with the aftermath, Su Qin hurriedly reported: "The identity of the assassin has been ascertained, but he was sent by Liu Wei to sneak into the palace and wait for the opportunity to commit murder, and finally succeeded in assassinating His Majesty, and I have beheaded the assassin to show the public." ”

Listening to Su Qin's words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all filled with righteous indignation, and they scolded angrily: "This Liu Wei actually sent assassins to assassinate his own brother, he is really a despicable and shameless villain, we must seek justice for Your Majesty and eradicate Liu Wei, a traitor!" ”

Yang Jian opened his mouth and said: "Although the assassination of His Majesty is heartbreaking, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The saint has no children under his knees, so it is better to elect the Fufeng King as the emperor, put up a banner, and continue to crusade against Liu Wei, what do you colleagues think? ”

The news of the annihilation of Zhu Yuanzhang's entire army has already made the people of the Luoyang court panic, and the news of Liu Xie's sudden assassination has made the ministers stunned. And the military power is in the hands of the two of them, and Liu Che is Liu Xie's imperial uncle, so all the civil and military forces can only agree: "We are willing to support King Fufeng to ascend the throne and become the emperor from the proposal of the Great Sima, and crusade against Liu Wei!"
