Chapter 347: Plotting a Rebellion
Mi Zhu was also a little gloomy in his heart, and said: "Sister, brother knows that allowing you to be a concubine to others is a little wronged after all......
Mi Lan interrupted him and said faintly: "Brother, don't say it, I know, everything you do is for my good, you have been used to me spoiling me since you were a child, I am willful and I am stubborn, but you have never blamed me, let me mess around, let me lose my temper, you love me like a father." In three days, I'm going to get married, and I'm going to leave this Mi family that gave birth to me and raised me, big brother, the willful and ignorant Lan'er in the past bothered you, I'm sorry, I just want to say, thank you, brother-" Mi Lan's tears, like pearls hanging on the thread, slipped down one by one.
Mi Zhu was stunned, is this still the sister he knows? It is said that a woman will mature as soon as she gets married, and it seems that it is really not false at all. Mi Zhu's heart is also full of sadness, Mi Zhu has only one sister, she has loved her since she was a child, and seeing that she is about to get married, Mi Zhu is also reluctant in her heart. He walked over, hugged Mi Lan in his arms, and said sadly: "Sister, my parents passed away when I was a child, and only our brothers and sisters depended on each other, I promised my parents that I would take good care of my younger brothers and sisters, and I couldn't break my promise." Lan'er, you have grown up, and the girl is not left, but no matter where you marry, the Mi family will always be your home, and I will always be the eldest brother who loves you the most. β
"Big brotherβ" Mi Lan threw herself into his arms, crying silently.
In the middle of the sound, Mi Zhu helped Mi Lan up and said, "Okay, Lan'er, don't cry, I'm about to be a bride, my eyes are swollen when I cry, but it's not good-looking, our Lan'er is the first beauty in Xuzhou." How can you call your eyes peaches? β
Mi Lan burst into tears and smiled, and said, "Big brother, I don't like the decorations in their house, it looks simple and poor, I will definitely not be used to it." β
Mi Zhu laughed and said: "This is simple, I will discuss with Chen Deng in a while, and decorate your house exactly like our house, Liu Yuanjun refuses to pay, and the eldest brother will also get it for you, who will make our family not bad money!" Hahaha......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The news that Miss Mi was going to leave the cabinet soon spread throughout Xuzhou City. And the man to marry is Liu Ze, the new state pastor of Xuzhou. It's hard not to make a splash in the city. The handsome guys and sisters in Xuzhou City are all envious, jealous and hateful, some are envious, some are resentful, and some are scolding. There are mockery. There are those that hit the wall. But no one can deny that Liu Zhoumu and Miss Mijia are definitely a British and difficult beauty.
"Grass, such a big beauty is a concubine for others. It's a pity that it's wastedβ" A young cloth-clothed gentleman soured down the street.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted countless saliva: "Cut!" The emperor's concubine is also a concubine, no more noble than the minister's wife! I'd rather be Mrs. Muru than a poor Confucian wife, boy, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, right? β
"As far as his virtue is concerned, he doesn't deserve to lift shoes for Miss Mi, and he doesn't pee and take photos, hahaha......"
The gentleman left in the wilderness, attracting countless ridicule behind him.
Tao Ying sat in the private room on the second floor of Fuman Building, watching the crowd downstairs with flying eyebrows and spittle splashing and telling the story of heroes and beauties, his face became more and more gloomy, and the hand holding the wine glass kept trembling, "cluck", the wine glass was actually scratched by him alive in the palm of his hand, the broken porcelain pierced his skin, and the red blood immediately came out.
"Second son, you're bleeding, let's bandage it." Screaming and panicking with the crowd, they wanted to step forward to help Tao Ying treat his wounds.
Tao Ying coldly shook off the hand of his entourage, ignored the blood in his palm, lifted the wine jar directly, raised his neck and poured it into his mouth, drenching his whole body with wine.
Xiao Jian stood behind Tao Ying silently, and said with a smile: "A good man should focus on his career, why should the young master give up on himself, not to mention that after the matter is completed, it will be difficult for Miss Mi to fly, and it is still not in the young master's bag?" β
Tao Ying has long regarded Mi Lan as his own dish, how can he allow others to get involved, but now Liu Ze wants to marry Mi Lan, how can he not be resentful in his heart, even if he kills Liu Ze in the future and takes back Mi Lan, he is destined to wear this green hat, as soon as he thinks of this, Tao Ying gritted his teeth with hatred. "Cheap thief!"
Xiao Jian understood his thoughts at a glance, Xiao Jian laughed and said: "Don't you know that Liu Ze's eldest woman is a beauty like no other, and after the matter is completed, the young master will also put a green hat on his head, wouldn't it be a report for a report?" β
Tao Ying thought about it, doesn't Liu Ze still have two wives, I heard that the eldest lady is more beautiful, not to mention his little aunt, who is also a beauty that makes people ecstasy, he is relieved when he thinks about it, although he loses one, he can exchange it for three in the future, and this deal is a sure profit no matter what.
"Young master, everyone is here, just waiting for you to go up." Xiao Jian's attitude was respectful and authentic.
Tao Ying sighed, he enjoyed this feeling very much, since his father died, people's attitude towards him immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and there was contempt and pity in his eyes, which made Tao Ying very uncomfortable, he secretly swore that after the fact, all the eyeballs that had been despised by him would be gouged out, so that those who had laughed at him would know who was the real master of Xuzhou.
The staircase to the third floor was a very narrow passage that allowed only one guΓ², and the staircase was guarded at all times by four sturdy soldiers, and no one was allowed to go upstairs without permission.
The upstairs decoration is extremely luxurious, the rosewood furniture, a few cases of huanghuali, and the hand-woven Persian wool carpet are spacious and translucent, and there are only a few people on the entire third floor, which seems extremely empty. Xiao Jian accompanied Tao Ying up, and asked Tao Ying to sit at the top, and he accompanied the prime minister on the right. Below the right are Lu Yang and Wang Jun, and opposite are Cao Bao and Cao Hong.
Xiao Jian glanced at it and said, "Presumably you all already know that Liu Ze is going to take the Mi family as a concubine, everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Through guΓ² inquiry, Liu Ze did not show any signs of increasing troops to Tancheng, that is, he had not yet noticed our actions. Three days later, it was when Liu Ze took a concubine, presumably everyone received Liu Ze's invitation, then we will get drunk on him at the banquet, and then get up at night, while Liu Ze was drunk and lying in the arms of the beauty, capture the four gates of Xuzhou, surround the state pastor's mansion, and capture Liu Ze in one fell swoop, and the big thing can be decided! β
Wang Jun praised: "Xiao Xiang is really a good plan, he was taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, Liu Ze would never have thought that we would make trouble on the wedding day, and when he died on the woman's couch, he probably didn't understand what was going on." Wang Jun hated Liu Ze to the core.
Cao Hong also nodded and said: "Xiao Guoxiang's plan is very clever, Liu Ze would never have thought that the princes who went to congratulate him would become the ones who chased their souls later." After the matter is completed, we can set up the second son of Tao as the lord of Xuzhou, all of you are meritorious ministers, and the second son will definitely not be able to treat everyone! β
Everyone praised it as good, but Cao Bao said with a worried face: "How do you know that Liu Ze's wedding is not a trap, if he takes advantage of the princes to attend the wedding, he sets up a Hongmen banquet and kills us all, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" β
Xiao Jian laughed and said: "General Cao is too worried, if Liu Zeruo has already learned the news of the incident, he will definitely have to transfer troops at this time, how can you sit here?" What's more, we have always been cautious, except for the secret discussion here, we have not made any arrangements, except for the princes sitting here, the content of our deliberations has never been revealed, how can Liu Ze know that we have the intention of rebellion? Even if he was suspicious, couldn't come up with real evidence, and wanted to make trouble at the wedding banquet, how could he explain it to the people of Xuzhou Shishu? Take 10,000 steps back, in Xuzhou City, Liu Ze only has five or six thousand people, but we have more than 20,000 people, occupying an absolute advantage, if Liu Ze really dares to make any moves at the wedding banquet, then we are enough to make his wedding a funeral! Hahaha, so General Cao can rest assured, and he concluded that Liu Ze would never dare to do it at the wedding. β
Lu Yang said: "That is, this time to catch a turtle in the urn, nine times out of ten, Liu Ze Xiao'er, just wait for the head." β
Xiao Jian said to everyone: "Today, we will discuss the matter of killing Liu Ze, we should make an alliance with blood, swear to the sky, live and die together, if we break the alliance and abandon the oath, we should be destroyed by heaven and earth!" Xiao Jian's mention was immediately unanimously recognized by everyone, and everyone drew their swords one after another, slashed them in their hands, and dripped blood into the bowl. Tao Yingfang was cut by the teacup just now, and it was a matter of saving trouble at this time.
Xiao Jian and the other six knelt on the ground and raised their bowls, swore to the sky, and drank all the blood and wine. Cao Bao never drank alcohol, but on this occasion, he had to take a sip and choked and coughed.
After the oath was completed, Xiao Jian worked out a detailed action plan with everyone. The agreed time of the uprising was set at the second watch, Cao Bao led 7,000 troops to attack the north gate of Xuzhou, the Xiao family and the Wang family, the Lu family more than 10,000 soldiers divided into five roads, all the way to the north gate of Cao Bao into the city, all the way together with Cao Hong's 4,000 Danyang soldiers to besiege the state pastor's mansion, the other three roads respectively captured the east gate, west gate and south gate of Xuzhou City, after Cao Bao's army entered the city, immediately participated in the siege of the state pastor's mansion, the army attacked the state pastor's house, unified by Xiao Jian's command, be sure to capture Liu Ze, whether dead or alive. Although Cao Bao and Cao Hong had some differences with Xiao Jian on the issue of command, they finally agreed to Xiao Jian's proposal, after all, the initiator of this uprising was Xiao Jian.
Tao Ying was a little distracted, he didn't understand military affairs, and these family heads and generals didn't seem to pay attention to and ask for his opinion, sitting at the table, he was a little sleepy, and his mind was full of thoughts about Liu Ze's three beautiful ladies.
After a brief quarrel and compromise between the parties, the plan of action was finalized, and it was given the nice name "Night of the Waning Moon". (To be continued......)
