"But what?"

At this turn, Liu Wei's heart skipped a beat, for fear that things would change, and asked nervously.

Du Mi squinted at him, the contempt in his eyes cleverly hidden.

"But it's a pity that it wasn't born to the queen, otherwise there would be no suspense about the prince."

Liu Wei's face was gloomy when he heard this, he thought very highly of himself, and always thought that he was outstanding in everything, but his background was a little worse.

didn't know that Du Mi had not even started, and he was already vaguely provoking the relationship between him and his mother.

"This loss is due to the fact that Your Majesty is not in the capital, otherwise if the courtiers participate in the discussion, it is unknown who will win."

Du Mi did not hesitate to test Liu Wei's bottom line, but he was not in a hurry to promise, which made Liu Wei anxious but helpless.

"Please also ask Du Gong...... My middle father taught me. ”

In terms of psychological warfare, Liu Wei is far from being Du Mi's opponent, he was trapped in three or two clicks, and seeing Dongfang let go of white, he was worried that if he couldn't convince Du Mi again, he would only fall short.

As everyone knows, Du Mi is actually more anxious than him, Liu Wei is not meticulous, and if he doesn't get it, he has already leaked the news.

In case he was preempted by Yuan Xuan or Chen Fan, his dream of being a famous minister would disappear in an instant.

Not only that, with his understanding of His Majesty, Liu Zhi is more concerned about flesh and blood, but he is never soft on rebellious ministers and thieves.

At that time, he will fall from his high position to the clouds in an instant, and his betrayal like this will be much more serious in His Majesty's heart than Zhao Jie back then.

Therefore, the risks he takes are heavier than Liu Wei, and if he succeeds, he will become famous in history, and if he fails, his family will be ruined.

"The king doesn't have to be so polite, since he is sincerely asking for advice, and he intends to be in the country's society, then the old minister will not hesitate to do this and plan for it."

Seeing that he finally agreed, Liu Wei was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, and swore again.

"Thank you Zhong Father, I will be a wise man in the future."

Du Mi smiled slightly, no longer deliberately holding him, and began to discuss with Liu Wei in a low voice.

On the other side, Yuan Xuan and Chen Fan were also racing against time to arrange, they had already received the news that Liu Wei had entered Du Mi's Mansion overnight and had not yet come out.

What this means, they all know very well in their hearts, it is likely that Du Mi has formed an alliance with Liu Wei.

Now that the Yulin Army is not in Beijing, the largest force in the Luoyang area is the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi Province, and it is very difficult to stop them.

Fortunately, all the people in the Nine Gate Admiral's Office add up, and there are 1,500 people, and the key is that they are all in the capital and can be summoned at any time.

Although there were more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi Province, only 2,000 were in the capital, and the rest could only be urgently dispatched from Yin or Hedong County in Henan.

In addition, there are still hundreds of remaining imperial guards, but they are likely to be controlled by Concubine Geng De for now.

There were also 1,200 people, but they were in charge of security in the city and could not be mobilized without an order from the emperor.

Long Linwei also has hundreds of people, and in the same way, there must be an order from the emperor to participate in the operation, and there are hundreds of armor soldiers in Dali Temple, and Chen Fan can directly control them.

On the bright side, the Beijing division only has so many troops in total, but if the private troops of the major families can be gathered, it will be difficult to say.

"I think Long Linwei can fight for it, they have always looked only to His Majesty, and now this matter endangers His Majesty's safety, there is no reason why they will do nothing."

Yuan Xu, Yang Jian and others had the merit of supporting each other back then, and they also had some friendship with each other, and they could probably guess each other's thoughts.

"No matter what, I have to give it a try, I believe that Your Majesty has already made arrangements for the affairs of the Jingshi.

It will last for two or three days at most, and you will be able to wait for His Majesty's edict, and then everything will be solved. ”

Chen Fan nodded, Du Mi was recommended by him back then, and now he actually rebelled with King Qinghe, so he felt very heavy in his heart.

"What should I do about Wang Lang?"

The reason why Yuan Xuan asked this question was because Wang Lang and Du Mi were good friends, and at this critical juncture, no one could be sure which side he would fall to.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, "I think that in this matter, Wang Lang and Du Mi are not the same kind of people, and I will personally go to the door to persuade later."

I believe that at least he can remain neutral and not help each other. ”

"Okay, then I'll do as you say, I'll go see Yuan Tang later, and see if I can gather all the private soldiers and minions of the Yuan family and temporarily serve as soldiers."

Although Yuan Tang has retired, he still has outstanding prestige in the court, and the entire Yuan family has settled in the capital, and the number of people who have settled in the capital is very considerable.

But Yuan Xu's decision is a great risk for himself and his family.

After all, for an emperor, if the power of a certain family is big enough to influence the pattern of the court, it is a very feared thing.

Under normal circumstances, except for people like Liang Ji, the more powerful they are, the more obscure they are, for fear of attracting the attention of the emperor.

Prior to this, although Yuan Xuan leaned towards the government and the opposition, he had always kept a low profile, and it was precisely because he adhered to this principle.

Now at the moment of life and death, he stepped forward, which made Chen Fan very moved and admired.

Suddenly, he had an idea, "Isn't the eldest princess in the capital, we can go to her and see if we can take back control of the imperial city from Concubine Geng De." ”

Yuan Xuan was stunned, and at first he felt a little ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was some truth.

The queen is not in the palace, speaking of which, Concubine Geng De is indeed the person with the highest position, but in recent years, she has been devoted to the Tao and basically has not dealt with the affairs of the harem.

Because of her low profile, she doesn't have many cronies in the harem, but the eldest princess is different, and she has been assisting the queen in official affairs for many years.

Before getting married, she also assisted the Queen Mother in handling the affairs of Yong'an Palace, so she could command most of the people in the palace.

What's more, the eldest princess for the time being, it stands to reason that the dignity is still above Concubine Geng De, not to mention that now she has to defend her father and younger brother.

"This is indeed worth a try, without further ado, let's hurry up and act separately, I will go to the eldest princess first, and then go to Yang Jian and Yuan Tang.

You are responsible for mobilizing the people of Dali Temple and keeping in touch with Dou Wu, and Wang Lang will ask you. ”

At this time, the east was already white, and the wind and snow were thick, but the two of them didn't care, and plunged into the cold wind.

In the past two days, the eldest princess Liu Hua has been a little uneasy in her heart, and the child just happened to catch a little cold and cried endlessly.

She was worried that something was going on with her husband who was far away in Bashu, and even though the weather was bad, she still sent someone out of Beijing to the southwest to inquire about the news.

She got up early in the morning to practice her sword, a habit she had developed since she was very young, rain or shine.

As soon as he put on a posture, he was in a hurry to pass the word outside, and the university scholar Yuan Xuan asked to see him.

Liu Hua frowned, although she was the eldest princess, she had no contact with the ministers of the court.

At this time, Yuan Xu suddenly visited, and she immediately keenly realized that something must have happened to the court.

"Please."

"I've seen the eldest princess, Yuan Xuan has a big deal to discuss here, I don't know if the eldest princess knows, yesterday Long Linwei invited the old dean Dou to go out of the city urgently."

After Liu Hua was stunned for a moment, her face gradually changed, and she was naturally very clear about the status of Old Dean Dou.

And whether he is going to see the emperor, or the queen, or several princes, they are all her dearest.

And the one who can alarm Yuan Daxue can basically exclude other people, only his father.

"Is it my father'......?"

"It's still uncertain, but the mother and son of King Qinghe have gotten the news, and now they have united with Du Mi and are ready to ascend to the heights and establish themselves as emperors."

"Liu Wei, he actually did such a rebellious thing."

Although the incident happened suddenly, Liu Hua was surprised, but still used an affirmative sentence instead of a rhetorical question.

"Concubine Geng De took advantage of the absence of a master in the palace and has been waiting for an opportunity to control the palace, and the minister wants to ask the eldest princess to come forward, take back the control of the imperial city first, and wait for the arrival of His Majesty's edict."

At this time, time was pressing, and Yuan Xuan didn't say a word of nonsense, Liu Hua nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll enter the palace immediately, if the situation is true, I will also ask the scholar to command and dispatch outside, if you need anything, just ask."

The reason why she didn't doubt it at all was because the whole thing, as long as she came forward to control the palace, it was clear that she was safeguarding His Majesty's rights and interests.

"Come on, immediately gather people and enter Yong'an Palace first."

Hearing this order, Yuan Xuan secretly appreciated that the eldest princess was really decisive and thoughtful.

No matter how beneficial Concubine Geng De is, she can't control Yong'an Palace in a short period of time.

Moreover, the people over there are all very reliable, first collect the manpower of Yong'an Palace, and then enter the imperial city from Yong'an Palace, which can not only ensure their own safety, but also easily control the situation.

The two broke up in a hurry and went their separate ways.

Liu Hua hurried towards Yong'an Palace, while contemplating his eyebrows and thinking, apart from Miyagi, what else could he do.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she remembered an incident that might be a turning point in this matter, but she had to take control of the entire Nangong first.

Because Yong'an Palace is not within the scope of the north and south palaces, and the queen mother is not there, the palace door is closed every day.

Therefore, Concubine Geng De was in a hurry, and she had no choice but to order the palace gate to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without her order.

Everyone in Yong'an Palace is naturally obedient to the eldest princess, Liu Hua hurriedly counted it, Yong'an Palace has one palace and two halls, and there are many guards and eunuchs.

There are more than 230 people in total, and only 180 of them are capable of fighting, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled.

However, Liu Hua felt that it was enough, the guards of Deyang Hall were the most in the North Palace, as long as she came forward, Concubine Geng De could only stand aside.

The biggest problem now is how to enter the palace, but this is not difficult for her.

When Zhao Jie and Empress Liang rebelled, Empress Dowager Liang decisively handed over the secret passage in the palace in exchange for Liang Budo's life.

Later, Liu Zhi felt the benefits of the secret passage, so he re-carried out the dredging plan, and no one knew the complete secret passage path except himself.

But the queen mother and the queen each knew one of them, Liu Zhi doted on the eldest daughter and told her a path in advance.

At this point, she even has the trust of her father more than several princes.

And the road she mastered happened to be the secret passage from Yong'an Palace to Deyang Palace.

So she only needs to sneak into the Deyang Palace first, then gather people to open the palace gate, and then meet everyone in Yong'an Palace, and go straight to the South Palace.

In the South Palace, the Zhongde Hall where the emperor lives, the Chongde Hall where the court talks, and the Changqiu Palace where the queen lives, as long as she gives an order, she can immediately get out of the grasp of Concubine Geng De.

In fact, Concubine Geng De didn't know that she couldn't defend the palace, but she had no way out, so she could only give up her life.

She could only hope that Du Mi would be able to gather his men quickly, and then announce to the world that he would ascend the throne immediately.

In the name of the emperor, if you capture the forces of Zhijin and the others, as long as you give her a whole day, I believe that everything can be changed.

The day finally dawned, the wind and snow paused, and there was silence on the long street, and the citizens who got up early soon realized that the atmosphere was not right today.

The guards of the brigade are fully armed, galloping on the main road, and the people of Luoyang, who have enjoyed a peaceful life for more than ten years, have long forgotten the chaos of the year.

But at this moment, the long-ago memory comes again, is it going to change again?

Ji Geumo, who was in charge of law and order in the city, was the first to notice the vision of the Gyeonggi Province guards, but Du Mi threatened to carry out official duties and asked Ji Geumgo to cooperate in pacifying the people.

Although he muttered in his heart, the duty of the executive Jinwu was to keep the security of the capital, and no one dared to do anything without the emperor's order.

However, they were soon intercepted, and Chen Fan rode a big black horse, standing quietly in the middle of the road.

Behind him were hundreds of Dali Temple armor soldiers, and despite the huge disparity in numbers on both sides, Chen Fan was as steady as Mount Tai without fear.

It seems that their actions have been revealed, but with the hundreds of people behind Chen Fan, it is ridiculous to want to stop their way forward.

But Du Mi did not directly order the attack, but raised his hand to pause his advance, urged the red horse under his crotch, and slowly walked over step by step.

The two former acquaintances finally stood at the crossroads,-for-tat.

"Zhongju, I know that you are loyal to Your Majesty, but now Your Majesty is critically ill, and King Qinghe is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has been the main leader since ancient times.

If you support the new emperor to ascend the throne together, it will also be a great achievement, and the position of a scholar in the future will be yours. ”

Chen Fan kept looking at him coldly until he finished speaking, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha...... Du Mi, Du Mi, I have always introduced you as a confidant, and today I realized that we are not the same kind of people at all. ”

With Du Mi's understanding of Chen Fan, in fact, he knew that the other party would not change his mind, but Chen Fan was kind to him.

And Du Mi paid too much attention to his reputation and didn't want to leave a failure in the future, so he deliberately came to persuade him.

"Zhongju, I kindly persuade you, don't be obsessed and misunderstand the great things of King Qinghe, cause turmoil in the country, and become a sinner for the ages when the time comes."

These words really made Chen Fan feel disgusting, how to look at Du Mi in the past, but now he feels disgusting.

"Phew! You shameless old thief, you can say it, and you don't know who will be the sinner for the ages in the future. ”

Chen Fan was upright by nature, and this time he was filled with righteous indignation, and he directly began to scold.

Du Mi had never been insulted in person like this in his life, and his face suddenly changed color, and his face darkened and retreated.

"Attack!"

The Gyeonggi Province guards raised their spears in their hands, and the tip of the spear was aimed at Chen Fan, but the latter was not afraid, and looked coldly at Du Mi who was huddled in the crowd.

The look was extremely disdainful.
