Empress He was stunned before, she would never have thought that Dong Chong would dare to kill people in her palace.

What is this for?

Rebellion?

When Dong Zhong walked in front of her with a sneer, she shivered all over her body and immediately reacted.

"Dong Zhong?! What are you doing?! Are you going to rebel?! How dare you do such a thing? ”

She screamed sharply.

"How is this a rebellion?"

Dong Chong smiled happily: "Queen, this is really not a rebellion, this is really acting on orders." ”

"Acting on orders?"

Empress He was surprised: "On whose orders?" If you dare to kill someone in the Queen's Palace, whose order are you? Queen Mother?! ”

"You'll find out about that soon."

Dong Chongyi waved his hand: "Invite the queen and the eldest son of the emperor into the palace!" ”

The soldiers behind Dong Chong swarmed up, grabbed He Shi roughly, ignored her screams, and pushed her into the palace.

And Liu Wei in the palace was already frightened stupidly, staying in place and not daring to move, just shivering.

"Dong Chong! You are going to rebel! You are going to rebel! You bastard! I'm going to let He Jin kill you! I'm going to find Ho to come in and kill you!! ”

"He Jin?"

Dong Zhong sneered: "He can save his life!" Hahahahaha! This time, no one will be able to save you, Queen. ”

"What did you say?"

Empress He was shocked: "What are you going to do to He Jin?" What's going on? What's going on? Who gave the order? Is it Your Majesty? Is Your Majesty going to kill all of my Ho clan? How can it be? You asked me to go to Your Majesty! Let me go to Your Majesty! ”

Queen He rushed up like a madman, pushing and struggling like a crazy woman, Dong Chong was really unhappy, and slapped it, causing Queen He to turn around and fall to the ground.

"You hit me?"

She covered her face and looked at Dong Zhong in disbelief.

"You dare to hit me?"

Dong Zhong shook his hand, looking refreshed.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time, but I couldn't help it in the past, and now, what do you have to rely on? Wait here obediently, quarrel once, I'll hit you once! If you quarrel again, I'll chop you with a knife! ”

Dong Zhong tore off the mask he used to suppress his emotions in the past, his face was distorted very terrifyingly, he pulled out a knife and pointed at Queen He, pouring out the resentment and dissatisfaction accumulated in the past in one go.

Pointed at by the cold blade, Queen He was so frightened that she didn't say a word.

Although she has been a queen for many years and has been high for a long time, this sense of fear from the instinct of life still makes her honestly not move.

She was really afraid that Dong Zhong would be hot-headed and end her wealth with a knife.

The situation is stronger than the man.

The queen's palace was quickly controlled, and all the guards and eunuchs who wanted to resist were killed, and Dong Chong personally killed several eunuchs in order to vent his grievances over the years.

Others were imprisoned in the side hall, and the palace guards brought by Dong Zhong controlled every passage and every house in the queen's palace.

Subsequently, Dong Zhong personally inquired about the palace guards' control of the palace gates and passages throughout the palace, and learned that the control had been basically completed, and the defense was ready, and the complete closure could be completed only after the officials summoned by the Son of Heaven entered.

At that time, it would be wishful thinking to enter the imperial city by force without paying ten times the number of casualties of the defenders.

Dong nodded heavily.

His task has been completed, there is really no difficulty, and the rest depends on the actions of Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang and Liu Bei.

His task is simple, and the speed of completion must be the fastest, and the others are somewhat difficult compared to him.

Of course, at the very beginning of this operation, it was the officials who could survive who were suddenly summoned by the Son of Heaven to the palace to give a lecture.

According to the order and the prior arrangement, Zhang Rang's hundreds of subordinates were dispatched in full force, rushing to their respective destinations to let the officials enter the palace quickly, and then protect their families and residences.

The big-headed soldiers are really going to kill the red eyes, but no matter how much, if the officials in Luoyang City die too much, it will be difficult to explain.

Originally, this link could be a little simpler, but that day happened to be the rest day of most officials, and most of them were not on duty in the palace and were resting at home, so this special link was needed.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, Zhang Rang gave his subordinates a death order, and if you can't do things well, you will come to see you.

No one expected this coup to happen so suddenly, even Zhang Rang, who knew the inside story, didn't expect that Liu Bei knew the specific content, but he didn't know the time.

This time is controlled by Liu Hong, and even Liu Hong himself may not be able to control it well, so the worst case is that after Liu Hong's death, Liu Bei immediately launched a mutiny and captured Yuan Kui and He Jin.

But if Liu Hong still has a breath and can do something, then Liu Hong will take the initiative to come forward, which will be better than Liu Bei's sudden action.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one knew how the situation would go, let alone Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.

Later in the afternoon of this day, Cai Yong was invited to bring his wife and two daughters Cai Yan and Cai Wan to be guests.

Lu Zhi quietly listened to Cai Yan and Cai Wan's piano skills, squinting slightly, feeling very good.

As soon as the song ended, Lu Zhi praised Cai Yan and Cai Wan's piano skills, and praised Cai Yong's teaching son, which made Cai Yong very happy.

After that, Cai Yong asked the second daughter to continue to play the qin, and he and Lu Zhi slowly talked about some recent political affairs.

"This morning, Yuan Kui led people to forcibly break into the palace of the Son of Heaven with the queen in the name of worrying about the safety of the Son of Heaven, but it happened to bump into the Son of Heaven eating porridge, which caused the Son of Heaven to be furious, was reprimanded, and left the palace in a gloomy manner.

Cai Yong stroked his beard and said: "Previously, Yuan Kui had suspected that the Son of Heaven was sick, and he never thought that he could do such an offensive thing, I have seen that someone will definitely impeach him in two days, and I will see how he explains this matter at that time." ”

"As a foreign minister, it is really rude to break into the palace with the queen! It's even a big disrespect! ”

Lu Zhi shook his head unhappily and said: "I don't need anyone else to come to the table, I will go to the table tomorrow to impeach him, I have to ask him to give an explanation!" During the period when the Son of Heaven was recuperating, he was not allowed to enter unless he was edicted, he actually dared to break into the palace without permission, I think Yuan Kui is getting more and more excessive! ”

Cai Yong glanced at Lu Zhi and sighed.

"Zigan, you said that you should listen to Uncle Weng's advice earlier, don't be so indulgent to Yuan Kui, and fight with him, maybe he won't be arrogant to this point, I think this person is too arrogant now, there are soldiers outside the city, and the queen is united in the city to break into the palace, given time, I don't know what he wants to do, is this the way to be a minister?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi sighed deeply.

"There's no point in saying that now, I'm really not good enough......"

"Zigan, I don't want to criticize you, but just talk about things, I think Xuande is far better than you."

Cai Yong said in a low voice: "Xuande still knows that Yuan Kui is very ambitious, so he brought soldiers and horses to balance Yuan Kui, fight against him, and limit his power, and you, as a captain, actually retreated step by step in the face of Yuan Kui's bullying, do you know how disappointed the people of Luoyang are in you?" ”

Lu Zhi just sighed and didn't reply.

He knew how disappointed the Luoyang scholars were in him, he knew that everything he did was not very in line with people's expectations, and the Luoyang scholars even rumored that Lu Zhi was cowardly and did not dare to fight, so there were fewer and fewer people around him.

Originally, he didn't think it mattered, but now it seems that there are still some problems with doing so.

It can only be said that fortunately, he has a disciple named Liu Bei.

Thinking of Liu Bei, Lu Zhi still smiled proudly.

"I have a disciple of Xuande, who is better than the Yuan family's protégés and former officials all over the world, isn't this a good thing?"

"You're a teacher, you can't rely on your disciples for everything, right?"

Cai Yong rolled his eyes and complained: "You are also a great Confucian in the sea, and your reputation is so big, but you are not even as good as your own disciple, don't you think this is very inappropriate?" ”

Lu Zhi stroked his beard and laughed.

"If you can cultivate a disciple who is better than the teacher, why can't you?"

Cai Yong was speechless for a moment.

Lu Zhi laughed for a while, but still sighed for a while.

"Xuande is a relative of the Han family, and he has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and this time he returned to Beijing and opened the mansion, and his power is monstrous, and he will inevitably confront Yuan Kui and He Jin head-on soon......"

"I'm worried."

Cai Yong said with emotion: "If the Son of Heaven does not have the intention of abolishing Chang Liyu, he simply wants to suppress the He family, but the prince is the nephew of the He family, so in this way, in the future, the prince will ascend the throne, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not target Xuande and Zigan because of this matter, do you have any opinions?" ”

Lu Zhi frowned.

"The future is too far away, it's hard for me to say, but if the prince will embarrass Xuande for today's things after he ascends the throne, I will definitely not stand idly by, Xuande obeys the orders of the Son of Heaven and is loyal, if you punish loyal ministers because of personal grievances, the loyal people in the world will be chilled."

"Having said that, I'm afraid that some people won't give up......"

Cai Yong sighed with emotion: "The queen is also surnamed He, no matter how you look at Xuande this time, you can't avoid a catastrophe, Zigan, as Xuande's teacher, you have to prepare in advance, you can't continue to back down." ”

Lu Zhi was silent for a while and nodded.

"If there really is such a day, I will never let Xuande be hurt because of this kind of thing, Xuande will do such a thing out of loyalty, if he is blamed for such a thing, the loyal and righteous people in the world will no longer contribute to the court, I will never stand idly by!"

"That's good, that's good."

Cai Yong nodded, and said worriedly: "Having said that, but Zigan, we also have to make some other preparations, for example, if Yuan Kui and He Jin have the upper hand, then ......."

"If that's the case, I won't have the worries I had before."

Lu Zhi smiled: "If that's the case, I can't even be an official, how can I still have such troubles?" It's a little easier, hahahaha! ”

"You can really laugh."

Cai Yong shook his head and said: "Nearly 100,000 troops have gathered in Luoyang, not to mention the tension, it can be regarded as guarding against each other, in this case, you can still be so easy to be a captain of the court, it is really ......"

"Cadaver vegetarian meal?"

Lu Zhi laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, right? If I get involved in this kind of thing, will you still be able to escape? If I hadn't participated, you might have been saved. ”

"You...... it! ”

Cai Yong sighed deeply.

Perhaps because he felt that the scene was too depressing, I don't know when, the piano sound of Cai Yan and Cai Wan sisters stopped.

Lu Zhi noticed first, looked at Cai Yan, and then at Cai Wan, and felt that it was not bad to talk about another topic.

"Then again, Zigan, if I'm not mistaken, your eldest daughter should be fifteen, right?"
