Gao Jizhi's eyes were black, and he was about to fall down on his back, but fortunately, Chen Tongpao's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and several bookstores also came to help him, smoothing out his breath, and it took him a moment to wake up.

Gao Jizhi opened his eyes in a daze, looked at everyone, touched his hand to his forehead, and sighed: "I have some fever on my head, I'm afraid it's a cold." Fang Cai felt quite dazed, and he was hit by this strong wind again, and he couldn't support it anymore. Chen Shilang will go alone, I will have to recuperate for a few days. Waiting for your good news. ”

"Master Gao is willing to entrust me with such a big thing, and his kindness is like a mountain, and there is no way to repay it!" Comrade Chen made a long gesture twice with tears in his eyes, got up and said twice, "Take care!" He walked out of the gate. Gao Jizhi looked at his departing back, just let out a few sad wry smiles, and said nothing more.

Comrade Chen carried the letter in his arms, met the attendant Lan Yuan, explained the reason, and followed him into the side hall to meet the prince.

When the prince read the letter, he was very happy, patted his knees and said: "Wan Heshun has his heart for his father, and the willow thief will not dare to make waves again." I can finally sit back and relax! ”

Chen Tongpao said: "We and other loyal people are looking forward to the destruction of the Liu Party day and night, and now we are getting rid of it in one fell swoop, please make a plan for the prince!" ”

The crown prince hesitated slightly, and his eyes dodged to both sides, which Lan Yuan saw in his heart, and hurriedly admonished: "Your Highness, Wan Heshun is not a good person, the reason why he shows you this loyalty is nothing more than to get rid of the Liu Dang effortlessly. If His Highness is lucky, he will be greatly disappointed. Without this banner, victory or defeat is not certain! ”

The prince was persuaded by these two people repeatedly, and his thoughts began to loosen, so he forced his cowardly heart and asked slowly: "But stability should come first in everything." How Rong Qing died before, you should know. ”

"It's no better than ever," Lan Yuan was even more interested than his fellow Chen, and his voice was sonorous, "they've become meat on the board!" There is only one issue that needs to be solved urgently. According to the analysis of his subordinates, the Liu Party still controls the military power of some provinces, as well as the troops stationed around the capital, and all that is left to us is the two forbidden subordinates of Cunzhao and Taisu, and there is also a vacillating Shi Xiushen. ”

Comrade Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then continued his words: "Shi Xiushen's hesitation is justified, he has Lu Jishan by his side to disperse power, and he will not act lightly. But he should not be classified as an enemy because of this, for this man has a great role to play, and he should find a way to win him over; And the army outside the palace can't be abandoned, they have all followed Liu Zhennian for many years, and they are loyal to the thief party, in case of rebellion, it is not something we can afford. To neutralize the threat of this group of people, it is necessary to focus on the court. ”

"Do you still need to watch it again?" Lan Yuan flicked his sleeves disdainfully, "Most of the civil officials have fallen to us, Su Zongshan has also come to surrender, and no one has obeyed the decree of the thief party!" ”

As if he could know everything, Comrade Chen smiled meaningfully: "Lan Shishu is too confident. Yushitai is the mouthpiece of the country, and it is still controlled by Gui Fu today, not only is it difficult to speak, but the officials are also under his nose, and it is difficult to act. In a few months, it will be the time for the provincial ministers to be elected, and we will definitely fight for this position. When Gui Fu, the temporary manager, leaves, Zhongshu Province will be completely controlled by us, and this power is in hand, and the replacement of Yushitai is a matter of official documents. After these things are done, we can turn our heads and deal with the army, cut them or withdraw them, and Liu Zhennian will really sit back and wait for death. ”

After hearing this, Lan Yuan was secretly tired of his steps being too verbose, but after all, the other party was a fellow Chen who was older than the world, so he reluctantly listened to these words: "You are right, but we can't wait for a few months." Something has to be done during this time. ”

"Don't worry, there are a lot of things, and there are two ends: on the one hand, you should send someone to meet the two royal princes with a letter, so that they can make preparations as soon as possible; On the one hand, Su Zongshan came forward and called on everyone to discuss the candidates for the provincial ministers, so as to prevent differences of opinion and competition with each other. ”

Lan Yuan thought so, that is, he turned around and knelt down to admonish the prince, but the prince had no opinion, so he had to wave his hand and say: "I don't care, it's up to you to do this." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, the people of the East Palace hurriedly brought the book into the camp of the forbidden army, handed them over to Taisu and Cunzhao respectively, and told them that "the prince has conspired with everyone, please reorganize the armament quickly, keep an eye on the eyes and ears, and do not neglect it." Although Taisu kept these words in mind, he knew that he was old and faint and could not deal with it, so he took advantage of the change of shift and set off to talk to Cunzhao. Cun Zhao didn't plan to listen to them one by one, and had another opinion: "Our soldiers have been instigated by Niu Yuan once, and the city has been stormy, which shows that they are not very loyal, and they are all chaotic and evil. If you secretly repair the armor and be denounced by one or two soldiers, won't it ruin the great events of the ages? I don't think you can hide in the dark, you need to hide in the light. ”

"How can it be in the open!" Taisu listened to the wind passing through the paper window, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and looked at both sides.

"By the power of the chamberlain. They are in the same forbidden as me, if you can use one or two ......" As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice, whispered a few words in Taisu's ear, and crossed a few words on the table, which immediately made the latter breathe a sigh of relief.

After Gao Jizhi suffered from the cold, he had to go back to the mansion to rest, eat a bowl of medicinal soup, and fall asleep that night. At dawn the next day, his condition was still not improving, and he heard about the situation of the officials from his confidants, and learned that the prince had ordered Su Zongshan to choose a provincial minister. This incident actually hit his heart disease, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he looked up to the sky and scolded: "Comrade Chen, this bastard!" Knowing that my ambition is here, I took advantage of the day when my official was sick to encourage them to find out about it! Well, they're all going to fight for this position, but I, the dying man, have no share! ”

With that, he held the bed board with one hand, and swept the head of the bed with the other, smashing the vase and other objects to the ground. When the family members saw that he was used to being calm, and they had never seen him have such a gaffe, they all thought he was talking nonsense, and took the medicine in a panic to feed him.

Gao Jizhi was crazy, didn't drink medicine, didn't speak, stood up, knocked over tables and chairs everywhere, kept having seizures, and was pushed back to the bed by the slave. But after this toss, his body deteriorated even more, and he couldn't recover anymore. He still talks about the affairs of the court and the affairs of the famous Lu, but unfortunately no one in the family understands these words, and he usually sees him as a humble gentleman, either reading or reciting Buddha and doing good.

After two or three days like this, he fell ill in the midst of gibberish and died at home.
