Zhan Ling Xuan took the letter sent by the spy, looked at the content of the letter, and became angry, this old fox finally couldn't help it, and finally started to act.

However, now, the complicated thing is not the old fox of the prime minister, but the pervert of Tuoba Zhi, Tuoba Zhi's means, it can be said that everyone knows it, Tuoba Zhi has a dark and violent personality, vicious methods, and vigorous and resolute work, so to speak, it is a terrifying existence.

I don't know how this old fox hooked up with Tuoba Zhi, if there was only one old man, the prime minister, it would be easier to deal with, and now it is involved in other countries, which is a bit difficult, I'm afraid it will take some effort.

Now, as the gods of war, Zhan Cangming and Mu Liran have been accused of rebellion and caught in the prison, which naturally gives these old foxes the opportunity to attack, and they will definitely not let go of this great opportunity.

Therefore, in order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Zhan Cangming and Mu Liran can only be wronged and wronged in the prison.

Zhan Ling Xuan carefully put this true letter in the secret compartment of the imperial study, this is a piece of evidence, the next plan will be even more difficult, writing a letter is just the beginning, a letter is not enough to bring down this old fox.

After putting away the letter, Zhan Ling Xuan returned to his seat with a solemn expression, this time, if he overthrew the prime minister, everyone would be happy, if he couldn't bring it down, it might be ......

Zhan Lingxuan sat down, and suddenly recalled that when he was a child, at that time, with the support of his father and the emperor, he and Zhan Cangming, the younger brother, had received too much protection, and the two of them could still be sincere to each other in this place where they ate people and did not spit out bones, and they still had deep brotherly affection, and the protection of their father was indispensable.

Think about it, in the royal family, in addition to him and Zhan Cangming, there is really no brother who will not turn against his goals for power, this is his luck, he has a good father, he does his best to protect them all, so that they can maintain their love for their brothers, and there is also a good brother, who will do his best to keep his throne and remove all obstacles for him.

Now, the time has come to give it a go.

In the evening, Zhan Ling Xuan returned to the dormitory and called the secret guard in code.

Zhan Ling Xuan nodded towards the dark guard, this plan has been conceived for so long, and now it can be implemented, the dark guard bowed slightly, walked behind the screen, and took off his night clothes, revealing the same clothes as Zhan Ling Xuan.

When the dark guard came out, Zhan Ling Xuan gave the dark guard a mask, and the dark guard put on the mask and posed, exactly the same as Zhan Ling Xuan, even in the daytime, if it was someone who was not familiar with Zhan Ling Xuan, it would be absolutely unrecognizable, even if it was someone close to him, it would never be obvious if he didn't look carefully.

What's more, it's night, just let the dark guard temporarily replace him, so that he won't disappear in front of others for a few hours, there will be no problem, the dark guard just needs to lie on the bed and pretend to sleep.

Zhan Ling Xuan circled around the dark guard, very satisfied, walked behind the screen and changed into the dark guard's night clothes, and put on a mask.

Zhan Lingxuan watched the dark guard lie on the bed, pressed the mechanism at the head of the bed, and a secret passage was exposed behind the bookshelf, Zhan Lingxuan glanced back, and walked in.

After Zhan Ling Xuan entered, the door of the secret passage automatically closed.

This secret passage is a secret passage that only the emperors of previous dynasties know, and when they arrived at Zhan Lingxuan, there were two people who knew about it, he and his younger brother Zhan Cangming.

His father told him when he was a child that he and Zhan Cangming were brothers, and no one was more trustworthy than each other, even if it was the person who gave you honey, don't believe it, don't trust anyone except your father, the emperor, the queen mother, and your brothers.

This secret passage was told to the two of them by his father at the same time, and he personally took them to recognize all the roads in the secret passage, all kinds of escape roads, there are all kinds of escape roads, this secret passage can be said to be accessible in all directions, go here, you can go anywhere.

Now, he was going to find Zhan Cangming to make peace.

On Zhan Cangming's side, the dark guard replaced Zhan Cangming, and Zhan Cangming found the entrance to the dark passage and went to find Zhan Lingxuan.

The two of them did not agree on which way to meet, but they both knew where to find each other, and the tacit understanding of twenty years made them tacit, let them join together, and be invincible.

After the two met, they sat on the ground.

Zhan Lingxuan sighed the moment he saw Zhan Cangming, and it seemed that his tense nerves had relaxed all of a sudden.

Zhan Ling Xuan spoke first: "Cang Ming, how long has it been since we came here to play hide and seek, how happy we were at that time." ”

Zhan Cangming's eyes moved: "Well, I'm really happy." ”

"Now that we don't have the protection of our father, we have suffered so much, think about it, I finally know why my father wants the two of us to only trust each other, this position is too high, and the high one is frightening, and the father must be very tired alone."

"My father has paid so much for us, and he used his life to exchange for our two brothers, we should guard it, fight for our lives, and we have to defend it."

"Yes, my father let the two of us support each other, along the way, the only people we can trust are always each other, in order to keep this country, it is really, I have wronged you."

Zhan Cangming didn't say anything nice, just shook Zhan Lingxuan's hand lightly and said, "Don't get in the way, now the prime minister and Tuoba Zhi are in cahoots, which we didn't expect, and now the situation in the court is also one-sided." ”

"Well, it's true that those old foxes in the court saw the wind and steered, looked at the direction of the wind, and turned to the prime minister's side."

"Brother, the secret guard came to report and received a letter from the prime minister to Tuoba Zhi, at present, you have to take it, although this evidence is small, he can die and not admit it, but with it, our chances of winning will be one more money, after all, people are terrible."

"Well, during this time, I'll find a way to replace the eyeliner he sent with one of ours."

Zhan Cangming nodded in agreement: "Although this method is risky, if you are not careful, there is a danger of exposure, but it is a good way, and we have no other way to go at present." ”

"I intend to be patient for a while, during this time, you contact the dark guard to secretly gather all the people you can use, except for the necessary people, all the others will be gathered in the imperial city in various capacities, so that they can be called at any time."

"Don't worry, I've already informed the dark guards, and all the people will probably be able to gather in the next few days."

"Very good, when the time comes, when the prime minister can't sit still, he will send it to the door himself, and we can catch it all."

"Well, it will be very dangerous at that time, before I arrived, brother, you must protect yourself."

Zhan Lingxuan stood up and helped Zhan Cangming up: "Don't worry, when it's over, how about we come and play hide and seek, haha, by the way, Mu Liran, don't worry, she'll be fine." ”

Zhan Cangming smiled: "Okay." ”

After Zhan Lingxuan came back, the prime minister was temporarily stable for a few days, and nothing went wrong.

However, as Ling Xuan expected, within a few days, the prime minister began to cultivate his own power in the court.

used to be quietly cultivated in private, but now, they have moved directly to the court, and the few loyal ministers are also hindered by the coercion of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they dare not speak out.

And played, saying that there have been a lot of bad things in the palace recently, and in order to protect the emperor's safety, a group of elite soldiers needs to be replaced, and then most of the palace guards have been replaced, and all of them have been replaced with soldiers brought by their cronies.

Moreover, taking advantage of the need to suppress the chaos in the frontier as an excuse, most of the elite soldiers in the imperial city were punished, and sometimes Zhan Ling Xuan rejected his proposal, and the prime minister would confront Zhan Ling Xuan in public, without taking Zhan Ling Xuan in his eyes at all.

And many people who were loyal to Ling Xuan were demoted or driven out of the imperial city by the prime minister on various charges.

All of a sudden, the entire court and the entire imperial city were stirred up by the prime minister and his people.

Zhan Lingxuan would occasionally chat with Zhan Cangming in the secret passage, and only when he stayed with Zhan Cangming could he relax and be lazy.

On this day, Zhan Ling Xuan went to find Zhan Cangming again.

As soon as Zhan Lingxuan saw Zhan Cangming, he rushed up and hugged him, Zhan Cangming was stunned for a moment, and let him hold him, he knew that he was too tired, he had been in the cell for more than a month in order to hide people's eyes, and he explained some things to the secret guards in the dark every day, which was far easier than Zhan Lingxuan who was circling with the group of old foxes in the court.

Zhan Ling Xuan let go of Zhan Cangming, and said with a solemn expression: "These days, the dark guard should have told you too, what do you think." ”

Zhan Cangming nodded: "Well, I told you, the old fox of the prime minister couldn't wait, and actually changed the guards in the palace, although most of the guards who were transferred were not our people, if it wasn't for our transfer work done well, now, I'm afraid that the entire imperial city has become the prime minister's person." ”

Zhan Ling Xuan sighed: "That's right, now the only few people in the court who are on our side have been driven out of the imperial city by him for various reasons, and now the court is all his forces, we can't act rashly." ”

Zhan Lingxuan nodded and replied: "Well, the dark guard reported the number of elite soldiers available to us now, I am sure that I can intercept the prime minister when he suddenly attacks, after all, it is in the imperial city, Tuoba Zhi cannot install too many forces, at most it is the last retreat after the defeat of the prime minister, our chances of winning are not small, the only thing I am worried about is that I am afraid that I will not be able to rush over in time at that time, and I need you to hold on alone for a while." ”

Zhan Lingxuan held Zhan Cangming's hand: "It's okay, I believe you, I will try my best to hold out until you come, this storm is finally coming, we must pass it safely, pay attention, it's us, it's us, it's not me, it's not you, it's us." ”

"Well, it will."

The prime minister has intensified his efforts during this time, not only to change the Praetorian Guard, but also to empty the treasury in a bright and bright way, and at the beginning he was looking for any reason for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the drought in the north, but now, it is not played directly.

The secret guard has been observing the prime minister's movements, Zhan Ling Xuan and Zhan Cangming's current chances of winning, a large part of them are the prime minister's cronies, and many people have been inserted by them, and they can know the prime minister's movements at any time.

Just now, the secret guard came to report that the prime minister was ordering troops in the prime minister's mansion, and it was estimated that he was going to attack the city.
