In the hall of Gu Chengming's mansion, Li Chongshan and several important officials serving in the military department were sitting at this moment.

Just half an hour ago, several dignitaries, including Gu Chengming, learned a shocking secret from the mouth of the head of the dynasty in front of them - Li Chongshan turned out to be a descendant of King Luzhong, the founder of the country and the prince of the royal family!

After the establishment of the Song Kingdom, King Luzhong had the idea of retiring, and soon hung up his crown and left, and no one could find him. The world only knows that King Lu Zhong had a son before he retired, and how his descendants will inherit it is now impossible to verify.

It is based on what Li Chongshan said, and in the eyes of several dignitaries, it is not very credible.

Taking a step back, even if a few of them believe that Li Chongshan is really the king of Luzhong, and then recognize that it is reasonable for him to want to overthrow the new emperor on this ground, how can tens of thousands of people in the world convince them? How should the civil and military officials above the court make them willing to prostrate at the feet of a royal descendant who suddenly appeared?

"My lord, I can't believe anything without evidence......"

The squire of the military department bravely put forward his opinion, and he was still a little stunned in his heart, he dared to say this or relied on the presence of Gu Chengming, the master of Shangshu.

Even if Li Chongshan is a little unhappy, Gu Chengming, who cares for his subordinates, will help them out at any time, or put forward a more intelligent opinion than theirs.

Sure enough, Li Chongshan listened to the words of the squire of the military department, and his face instantly sank.

Gu Chengming glanced at the waiter, and carefully filled Li Chongshan with tea, "Actually, what the waiter said is not unreasonable, adults want to achieve great things, and these subtleties must be in place." Since ancient times, there are two things that are indispensable, one is physical evidence, and the other is human evidence, if an adult only has one of them, then the person's identity must stand up to anyone's scrutiny! ”

Li Chongshan bowed his head and gave Gu Chengming and several other dignitaries a reassurance: "As long as tonight's move is successful, there will definitely be a witness to the person you want to see!" Of course, the promise I made to you to pay homage to the prime minister will never be forgotten by this official! ”

A few people thanked them, and the steward of the Li Mansion and the subordinates of the Gu family pushed and shoved all the way in: "My lord, the little boy is trapped in Princess Baozhen's mansion, and he hasn't come out yet, I'm afraid Princess Baozhen intends to use the little boy as a hostage to threaten the adult......"

Li Chongshan remembered that when he left the house, Lu Yue was clearly still playing at home, could it be that Li Baozhen had been sending people to lurk near his house? "Did the princess send a letter home?"

The steward wiped his sweat and said, "I haven't received a single one." On the way to find the adult, the old slave heard passers-by talking about whether the king of Qi was unworthy of being the emperor of the Song Kingdom, and said......"

"Is it time for you to swallow and spit, say!" Li Chongshan said angrily.

The steward said: "It is also said that Emperor Cheng Kang had the opportunity to ascend to the throne because he murdered the former prince......"

The eyes of the important members of the military department widened when they heard this, and the unfounded words were rumors, how could they be circulated in the streets?

"Nonsense!" Li Chongshan shouted angrily, "Back then, I pushed Emperor Kan to ascend the throne, and they made it up like this, wouldn't it be that I harmed the former prince tomorrow?" ”

"Adults are discouraged." Gu Chengming hugged the trembling Li Chongshan and said softly: "Master Shi from the Ministry of Rites is here." ”

Shi Zhangbi was still wearing the cloak that had never changed, and took off his hood before entering the door, which made all the people in the room look clearly, and was secretly shocked in his heart.

He stepped forward quickly without squinting, and said to Li Chongshan: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has sent someone to ask if he has seen your lord, it seems that there is a very urgent matter. ”

"Presumably Qin Hai asked me to sit and discuss, it's all at this time......" Li Chongshan didn't finish the rest of the words, and asked Shi Zhangbi if anything big had happened outside.

Shi Zhangbi felt that today's atmosphere was very different from usual, but he had never been exposed to too many things, because he did not understand it deeply enough.

Although he had a lot of questions in his heart, he didn't dare to ask too much, and only told what he knew: "It is rumored that the emperor summoned Xu Xiushu's wife and King Chengping into the palace, wanting to emulate Emperor Cheng Kang's actions of murdering the original prince...... A quarter of an hour ago, Princess Baozhen heard these rumors, and she couldn't sit still, so she broke into the palace with more than fifty nurses to save people! ”

"The princess's mansion must be unguarded right now." Gu Chengming had a flash of inspiration and said, "My lord, why don't you take twenty soldiers from the military department to rescue the little boy first?" ”

Li Chongshan handed over the matter to Shi Zhangbi to handle, and when he left the Gu family, he said to Gu Chengming and several dignitaries: "Make some changes to the original plan." Wait for Princess Baozhen and the emperor to lose both of them, and then enter the palace. Cheng Ming, you go to the palace gate to find a soldier named Ah Cheng, he will get all the news in the palace through the eunuch, you will guard outside the palace gate, and send someone to tell me in time if there is any trouble. The others immediately returned to the military headquarters to dispatch men, and those who disagreed were secretly executed. ”

•

The soldiers on the city gate wiped their eyes, and when they saw an army coming like black ants and rolling over the road, approaching the gate of the capital, their scalps immediately tingled.

Even if the regular army reached the outside of the capital, they would stay outside the city for one night and wait until the next day before entering the city. At this moment, this black-pressed army outside the city has been moving forward, with a soaring murderous aura with every step, how can it be a regular army!

The soldier immediately shouted, "Alert...... Alert! ”

The crossbowmen and gunners were all in place, and the army had arrived at the city.

"Who are the people under the city, and why do they enter the city after nightfall?"

The generals who led the army advancing under the city raised their heads, and their deep voices went straight to the soldiers above the city gate: "I am Gu Ren, the general who went to Mizhi Town to suppress the tribal turmoil, and I was ordered to enter the city overnight!" ”

"On whose orders?"

"Naturally, it's the military department and the governor's mansion of the five armies!" Xu Yuan walked up to the city tower and handed over the tokens of the military department and the five army governor's mansions to the city guards, "Half of the soldiers led by General Gu Ren belong to the military department, and the other half belong to the five army governors' mansions, with these two tokens, is it not enough?" ”

The city guard was embarrassed: "Lord Xu, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Xu Yuan glanced at him and asked, "If you don't believe it, I will enter the palace to draft a holy decree, give it to the emperor to see and seal, and then bring it to you, but you are the only one who will be in trouble at that time." Convenience with others is convenience with oneself, so why should adults cause trouble for themselves. ”

"But ......" The city guard glanced at the army under the city, if it was mixed in with people who should not be in the capital during the period, the consequences would be even more serious!

Xu Yuan said again: "Your Excellency can't trust me and General Guren, can't you still believe Princess Baozhen, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the northwest a while ago and is dedicated to the country?" As the son-in-law of Princess Baozhen, I can vouch for it in the name of the princess, and there is absolutely no problem with the army under the city! If you still don't believe them, you can open the gates and check their identities one by one! ”
