On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Qianzong held a palace banquet in the palace, no matter how many ups and downs there were in the year, and how many conflicts of interest there were during this time, the year still had to be passed. It is rare for everyone to let go of each other's prejudices and positions, without the tension in the court in the past, they can sit together and drink and talk, at least in Qianzong's opinion, on the surface, as for what they did in secret, and who looked at each other, he didn't care at all. These days have been torture for him, he has never felt that he has been so useless, he used to dream of suppressing the arrogant Liu family, but when he really had the opportunity, he could really let go and do it, but he didn't dare to do anything, and he couldn't do it, and it was difficult to ride a tiger is a true portrayal of him now. Speaking of this, he also complained a little about Bai Ziyu, if he didn't say it so bluntly, maybe there would be room for reversal, so that he wouldn't be able to end it now, so Qianzong thought very ostrichically, fortunately, there was a New Year in the middle of the interval, and after the beginning of the year, the impact of this matter would be lighter, maybe it would naturally be over.

Bai Ziyu's injuries had healed, but he was sitting below, but he was alone, and the people around him were far away, as if he would be killed if he sat close to him. Of course, it won't be fatal, but it will be true that the official career will not be smooth. Since he firmly said the sentence "The Liu family rebelled", he was listed by almost everyone as a refusal to come and go, and everyone walked around him, including the Zhou family and even the Bai family.

The Queen Mother accompanied Qianzong to sit on the main seat. The queen sat on one side with the four concubines, and on the other side were the princes and the second princess, but Yun Yuhong did not appear here. The queen's explanation was that the eldest princess was infected with the wind and cold, was unwell, and was resting in the palace.

Lao Dao was also rarely invited to participate in this banquet, but Lao Dao didn't want to come at all, not that he didn't like such an occasion, but Yun Yuhong's absence, which made his heart a little bottomless, and then look at only the unlucky ghost standing next to the queen, and a few other little ghosts didn't know where to go, which made him have a bad premonition, there was only one Baizhu around him, and Lao Dao felt that he could only ask for more blessings.

Halfway through the banquet, Hu Lewu walked towards Qianzong with a wine glass and said: "Holy Lord, it is really a pleasure for all the adults and the Holy Lord to gather together today, but I don't know what Lord Bai said about Liu Xiang wanting to do the opposite, what does the Holy Lord think?" ”

Everyone was quiet, and Qianzong was also stunned, this Hu Lewu didn't want to open which pot, but Qianzong still didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, so he smiled and said: "What do you think of this matter?" ”

"I think it's true." Hu Lewu affirmed, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Marquis Jinghui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you have drunk too much, and you won't retreat." ”

"Stand down? I'm unhappy with Liu Xiang, the emperor is the king of a country, but he can't even deal with a courtier, such an incompetent emperor, it is better to abdicate and make way for Xian. Hu Lewu pointed directly at Qianzong.

Everyone was so shocked that they had no interest in eating and stood up. What is the Hu family going to do, Bai Ziyu said that the Liu family has a heart of disobedience, it turns out that it is all true?

Liu Xiang stepped forward and said: "Don't joke with Master Hu, if you drink too much, you will sober up, come and take Master Hu down to sober up." ”

"Haha..."Hu Lewu looked up to the sky and laughed, and pulled Liu Xiang and said: "Xiangye, you just admit it, now that the capital and the palace are in the hands of you and me, what else do you have to worry about." ”

Liu Xiang's tone changed when he heard this, and he angrily pointed at Hu Lewu and said: "You..., you still did it?" ”

Hu Shiwu didn't say much, clapped his hands, and at some point, a group of internal guards had surrounded the hall, and the knives of these guards were unsheathed, and they looked at everyone one by one.

Everyone was stunned at first, everything came too suddenly, there was no warning, but when they realized that all this was true, they immediately panicked, some people rushed to the door, but they were cut by the door of the waiter, and the others were even more anxious, immediately, the hall was in chaos, especially today many ministers are with their wives and children to participate, these children and women are even more panicked, many children and children also cried, Hu Lewu listened to it boringly, and actually grabbed two children with his own hands and fell to the ground.

Liu Xiang shouted: "Stop, don't mess up." The people who rushed out gradually fell silent.

Liu Xiang asked Hu Lewu: "What do you want?" ”

"I want Xiangye to sit on this throne." Hu Lewu said directly.

"How can I do such perverse acts and deceive the king..."

"You have thought about it, I will rebel, but for the sake of you, Xiangye, now that the matter has come to this, Xiangye, if you don't sit in this position, will the Liu family still be okay?" Hu Lewu interrupted Liu Xiang's words.

Liu Xiang was stunned when he heard this, looked at Hu Lewu, and then looked at Jinghui Hou next to him, who was also stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to do. The throne is something he doesn't dare to think about, but once he really has a chance, can he really not be moved? And Hu Lewu's words are also good, even if he does not become the emperor in the end, everyone is afraid that it will not be the same when they look at him, and the Liu family has no way out.

Liu Xiang looked at Qianzong, and Qianzong also looked at him with a shocked face, not only Qianzong, but also the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian. It's just that after thinking for a while, the Queen Mother suddenly said: "If this is the general trend, the Liu family should also take advantage of the trend." ”

This time, it was Qianzong who looked at the Queen Mother with a shocked face, but the Queen Mother said instead: "The emperor is incompetent, he can't let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all the ministers submit, so it is also appropriate to change to a virtuous person to live there." ”

"A virtuous person, I really don't see any virtue in a courtier who commits rebellion." Bai Ziyu said coldly.

He and Lao Dao came to Qianzong and blocked Qianzong behind him, Bai Ziyu said: "I have always felt that there is something strange about this matter, but now I understand something." At this point, there are some things we might as well make clear. ”

Hu Lewu said: "Bai Ziyu, you are tough, but you are better than these people who are usually full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they dare not say anything at a critical time, okay, before you die, I will also let you die to understand." ”

"First of all, the assassin case in the palace was indeed committed by Hu Sangongzi?"

"Yes, it was done on the orders of the Queen Mother." Everyone exclaimed, it turned out that there was still the handwriting of the Queen Mother here.

"The assassination on Panlong Mountain was also done by Grand Master Hu?" Bai Ziyu then asked.

"Half of this is the credit of Liu Ergongzi." Hu Lewu looked at Liu Xiangdao with a smile and said, "Xiangye has always thought that Liu Ergongzi was wronged?" Liu Ergongzi was afraid that he would be imprisoned like Liu Sangongzi, so he asked Lord Hong of Dali Temple to pretend to be sick, he used an eyeliner buried in the Bai family, and learned that the Bai family also wanted to attack Bai Ziyu, so he invited a killer to kill someone. Liu Xiang was speechless again, he didn't think that Liu Ergongzi would really do this, but he also hated Hu Lewu for saying it in public, embarrassing the Liu family, did he really have the heart to help him ascend to the throne?

Bai Ziyu didn't relax, and asked: "The credit of the other half is the eldest son of Hu?" ”

"Yes, my people found out that Liu Dagongzi hired a killer, but to be honest, it was not enough for those people to meet the people of the Bai family, so I also sent some, but I didn't expect the Bai family to watch the play from the beginning to the end, but there was a powerful one by your side, but you solved those killers, no way, I let people do it." It's just that your life is really big. Hu Lewu spoke very leisurely, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. Of course, on an occasion like today, this is really insignificant. The ministers are most concerned about how to survive now, and Marquis Jinghui has seen that things have come to this point, so he simply let them go. Not to mention Liu Xiang, the battle between heaven and man in his heart also carries a hint of joy. The position of the Queen Mother is like this, which is beyond everyone's expectations, but she has a kind of joy that the Liu family finally has the world in hand. As for Empress Qianzong and others, they complained in their hearts, but they did not dare to resist.

Hu Lewu looked at the crowd, "Don't move, I'll leave you with your life, of course, don't think about delaying time, it's useless, the forbidden army in the palace has long been replaced by the Hu family, and the Zhao family wants to install people, but unfortunately I have solved it." As for the guards of the capital, Xiang Ye gave me a paper order, and now the person in charge is Yu Wenzheng, the deputy general of the capital garrison, of course, that is also Xiang Ye's people, in addition, let me tell you one more thing, I transferred 50,000 elite soldiers from the border pass, so now I have 100,000 elite soldiers in my hands, even if the three Wuhou send troops back in the future, I will have the strength to fight, so you don't have to think about it anymore. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were cold, especially Zhou Dashi and Yu Shangshu and others, they were even more bitter in their hearts, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, once Liu Xiang really succeeded, then their death will not be far away. But the people on Liu Xiang's side were proud in their hearts, and gradually, the hall was naturally divided into several piles, standing next to Liu Xiang, standing on the side of Scholar Zhou and Master Yu, and in front of Qianzong.

Hu Lewu smiled again, he was really happy, what he had thought about for many years was finally achieved today. He said to Qianzong: "Holy Lord, the matter has come to this, do you think you will abdicate and let you make Xian by yourself or let me make you have to let Xian?" ”

Bai Ziyu looked at Hu Lewu and said: "You think too much, the emperor is the emperor, it's not something you can offend, there will always be a day when you regret it." ”

Lao Dao pulled the sleeve of the unlucky ghost on the side and asked in a low voice: Does the master have an arrangement?

Hu Lewu didn't say much, but waved his hand behind him, and a group of guards pounced.

Suddenly, a ringing arrow shot at Hu Lewu, Hu Lewu's martial arts skills were good, and he quickly staggered to dodge. But it was also this trance kung fu, a group of black-clothed people fell from the sky, the unlucky ghost dropped a medicine bottle, a burst of white smoke rose, confusing everyone's sight, and when the white smoke dissipated, there was no longer Qianzong and Bai Ziyu and his party.

Hu Lewu sneered: "A group of fools, there are my people everywhere, why bother dying and struggling, come here, chase me!" ”
