After making this comment, Gu Qingchi casually threw the letter into the charcoal brazier.

I saw that the flames suddenly rose up, and in a short time the letter paper burned to ashes.

After the paper turned from red to black, Gu Qingchi said, "Help him." ”

When the dark guard heard this, he immediately said respectfully, "Yes." ”

After the secret guard left, Gu Qingchi looked at the canopy swept by the wind outside, and slowly evoked a cold smile.

......

In the middle of the night, sub-hour.

The weather in November, with the coldness of winter, scraped on people's bodies, like a knife.

There were no pedestrians on the streets, only the patrol battalion carried lanterns from time to time to maintain law and order in the capital.

After the patrol camp passed, another group of masked black-clothed men quietly slipped through the street and walked in the direction of Dali Temple.

At this time, in the Dali Temple, it is very lively.

"Come on, come on, drink and drink!"

Several soldiers guarding the Dali Temple were gathering together, with seven or eight dishes on the table, and the stove next to it was warm with fine Huadiao wine, and the fragrance was scattered from time to time.

One of the younger ones was still a little worried, because he frowned and said, "Brother Liu, this is not appropriate, our brother still has to guard the door." ”

Normally, several of them perform their own duties, but today, the cell leader surnamed Liu brought wine and food to invite them.

In this Dali Temple, although the guards are people with heads and faces, they are also a prison in the end, so they are not much more than the money given in the prisons outside.

On weekdays, everyone is tight, and it is rare for someone to have a treat, and these people are naturally welcome.

It's just that happiness is one thing, and they are more afraid that something will happen, so they are a little hesitant.

Hearing this, the person called Brother Liu waved his hand and said with a bold smile: "Don't worry, what can happen to this kind of ghost weather?" Besides, Brother Liu and I have good luck today, I won five taels of silver, and I don't have a wife and children, so I like to eat and drink with my brothers, don't give face." ”

He said all this to this point, and naturally no one would refuse to agree, and then he thought about what could happen in the middle of the night, even the prisoners were asleep?

After three rounds of drinking, these people were all full of red faces, bragging, and talking about meat jokes, but lining this huge prison like the tavern.

There was a chirping of birds outside, and Brother Liu's ears moved, and then he filled those individuals with wine, burped, pushed the little guard who fell on the table, and said with a smile: "Why are you so cowardly, you are drunk after only a few glasses of wine?"

As soon as he said this, several other people laughed one after another, laughing and mocking at the same time.

It's just a moment's effort, and those who were still a little sane also fell on the table, no matter how Brother Liu pushed, there was no sign of soberness.

With a smile on his face, Brother Liu pulled the key from one of them, and then tiptoed to the end of the prison.

There was a person locked up there, and because he had been poured pills for several days and had not seen the light of day, his face had turned gray, and he looked extraordinarily infiltrating.

At this time, this person should have fallen asleep a long time ago. But now, he opened a pair of eyes and said impatiently: "Why is it so inked?"

That Brother Liu changed his bastard appearance, nodded and said flatteringly: "Your Highness is angry, those people are not easy to fool, and you have been wronged." ”

The person who was imprisoned here was none other than the second prince.

As he spoke, he opened the door of the prison and helped the second prince out of the prison, and the two of them quietly walked towards the door.

Before leaving, Brother Liu also glanced back at the drunk crowd, and saw that none of them were sober, so he relieved himself and took him out of the prison of Dali Temple.

It's just that he didn't know that the moment he turned around, one of them quietly opened his eyes, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of essence, how could he be half drunk?

......

Out of Dali Temple, someone has already responded here. The second prince got into the carriage by himself, looked back at Brother Liu and said, "Your love, Your Highness has remembered it." ”

Hearing this, Brother Liu smiled more and more flatteringly: "The little one does things for His Royal Highness, that's how it should be." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he was thrown over by a guard with a bag of silver, and said lightly: "This is a reward for you, these days the limelight is tight, go back and pack your things and go out of the city overnight." ”

This bag of silver was extremely heavy, and Brother Liu was even more toothless, and thanked him again and again. Counting what I gave two days ago, this is enough to give hundreds of taels of silver. When the time comes, I will still boil a bird in this Dali Temple, and I can pack up my things and leave tonight.

The second prince glanced at him and didn't say anything more, just ordered someone to set off.

Brother Liu watched the carriage disappear quickly in the night, and he didn't dare to delay, he threw away the key on his body, and he walked quickly towards the door.

The second prince is right, what he did today is a big crime, and there will inevitably be chaos in Beijing in the past two days, so he still took the opportunity to pack his bags and leave the capital.

As for the future, if the second prince ascends the throne, it will not be too late for him to come back.

Brother Liu's abacus in his heart was loud, carrying the silver in his hand, and he felt more and more that the future was open, and he couldn't help humming a song.

It's just that he didn't expect that there was not a light ahead of him, but death.

Someone had already been ambushed at his temporary foothold, and the moment he entered the door, he was greeted by a sharp sword in his chest.

Before the dream was finished, his eyes suddenly widened, but his body slowly fell to the ground.

Never got up again.

......

"Someone is dead?"

Soon after the second prince returned to the house, someone came to pay homage to him.

Seeing the guard nodding, he waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, His Highness knows." ”

He asked the guard to go out, then turned to look at the others in the room and asked, "Now that His Highness has come out, what are you going to do next?"

There were more than a dozen men sitting in the room, elegant and evil.

It was the last remaining supporters of the second prince.

Hearing his words, the man at the head stood up directly and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the three thousand soldiers of the ministers have been assembled, as long as you give an order, you can enter the palace and take them by surprise!"

And after he said this, everyone else also responded one after another: "The ministers seconded it." ”

Hearing this, the expression on the second prince's face became more and more satisfied, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you." Without further ado, you go and count the people now, and let's go to the palace before dawn!"

As soon as it dawns tomorrow, the emperor will know the news that he has been taken away, so he will rush to gather everyone in these last three hours and catch the emperor off guard.

At that time, it will be too late to have any news, the emperor is in his own hands, who else dares not to obey orders?

And these are also the plans of his subordinates, which are exactly what he wants.

Hearing the orders of the second prince, those people stood up one after another, and said together: "Weichen obeys the order!"

Seeing that those people were hula and gone, the second prince looked at the heavy night and couldn't help but show a fierce smile.

"Father, don't blame your sons for being ruthless, you brought it all on yourself!"

Originally, he still wanted to keep the emperor alive, and wait until the beginning of spring next year, when his foundation in the court is stable.

But the emperor discovered his plan first, and imprisoned him in Dali Temple, feeding him those pills every day!

Although he had only eaten for a few days, the second prince already felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He has been like a frightened bird for the past few days, trying to buy off the people in prison, but he really found someone to deliver a message to him.

Fortunately, although his current power is not good, there are still some old people who follow him, and four or five of them are military generals.

With the cooperation of several of them, they rescued themselves tonight and made a plan without loopholes.

As long as you successfully attack the imperial city tonight and control the emperor before tomorrow morning, this country will be your own in the future!

As soon as he thought of this, the second prince couldn't help but get excited again.

......

At the same time, the Anling Palace.

After learning of his subordinates' returns, Gu Qingchi pinched his eyebrows and said, "Tell our people to stay still and avoid it." ”

The reason why the second prince was able to come out so smoothly was all because Gu Qingchi secretly paved the way for him, otherwise, with those rabble, it would be so easy to successfully get out of the prison of Dali Temple.

Hearing this, the henchman said softly: "Master, if we avoid it again, the second prince will enter the palace." ”

He originally thought that his master was afraid that the emperor would not bear to kill the second prince, so he wanted to create a crime for him.

But if this matter is accomplished, wouldn't the second prince be stationed in the imperial city openly? Wouldn't this be a loss for his wife and a loss of troops?

Hearing this, Gu Qingchi sneered and said lightly: "Where is it so easy." ”

wants to enter the palace, he Gu Chengyue is still very tender.

Not to mention anything else, just the personal soldiers belonging to the emperor in the palace are enough for 2,000 people. There are those people, Gu Chengyue's people kill it, even if it wins, it is a miserable victory.

What's more, he will never let him win.

The reason why he was allowed to enter the palace was to catch turtles in the urn, and the other was to let them fight with each other.

This henchman has been following Gu Qingchi for a long time, and when he heard Gu Qingchi's words at this time, an idea instantly appeared in his heart.

Could it be that the master wants to make the emperor's personal soldiers completely damaged?

You know, two thousand against three thousand, this is a fierce battle.

And now the emperor has collapsed because of taking pills, and he has the bad news of his own son's rebellion......

It can be said that it is worse.

Seeing that his henchmen were clear, Gu Qingchi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. ”

When he was the only one left in the room, Gu Qingchi let out a sigh of relief and blew out the candles in the room.

He knew that it would not be peaceful tonight, so two days ago, in the name of soaking in the hot springs, he asked Shi Miaoyu to be sent to the hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.

At that time, Shi Miaoyu wanted to let him go with him, but in the end, Gu Qingchi vaguely revealed a few points to her, Shi Miaoyu was afraid of causing him trouble, so he obediently followed the maid.

Not only that, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect herself when she encountered danger, and even Gu Qingchi asked her to take whoever she didn't want to take, and she obeyed.

Now that Shi Miaoyu is not there, Gu Qingchi has no worries in the house alone, but he feels a little empty inexplicably.

If his princess was here, I am afraid that he would not have been allowed to stay up late like this a long time ago.

Thinking of Shi Miaoyu, Gu Qingchi's lips couldn't help but hook up a smile.

The lantern under the cloister outside the window was still on, and a little light was spilling in from the outside, so that the room was not too dark.

Gu Qingchi lay on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy, thinking about the situation in the palace while unconsciously rubbing the purse in his hand.
