The three of them came to the study, and as soon as they sat down, Hu Yufei couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then asked, "Have you heard about what happened in Chengtianmen two days ago?" ”

Shen Lie bowed slightly: "Of course I've heard of it." Such a big event almost shook the world, and we heard a lot of rumors before we entered the imperial capital. ”

"Crazy, crazy!" Hu Yufei patted his leg: "A hundred officials with a cane!" Cheng Wen, how rampant is that demon queen?! In the more than 820 years since the founding of the Holy Tang Dynasty, even the most tyrannical emperor has never had such a terrifying thought! ”

Shen Lie and Yuan Bin glanced at each other and asked curiously, "Could it be ...... Lord Dong is also among them? ”

Hu Yufei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With Brother Dong Xian's character, can he not go?" Don't talk about him, if the old man hadn't retired for many years, he would definitely go with him! ”

Yuan Bin couldn't help but hurriedly said: "I heard that Chengtianmen killed several ministers on the spot. Dong Shangshu is old and weak, what happened to him? ”

"God forbid." Hu Yufei responded: "Among the forbidden army, there are many people from the Southern Army, and the soldiers who are in charge of the Imperial Staff Dong Xiandi happen to be all soldiers of the Southern Army. Because Dong Xiandi had a lot of dealings with the Southern Army in order to persuade the Jingxiang army to return to the emperor, and everyone in the Southern Army knew that he had meritorious service to the Holy Tang Dynasty and kindness to the Southern Army, so other officials were all beaten to the death, but they showed mercy to his subordinates. Otherwise, his old bones would have to be beaten apart. ”

Hu Yufei sighed and continued: "But Rao is like this, the pain of skin and flesh cannot be avoided after all. Dong Xiandi was so angry and in pain that he fainted on the spot, and was later carried back to the house to recuperate. The next day, the inner court issued an edict of reprimand, although he was not immediately dismissed, but he was also severely reprimanded, and let him reflect on his sins at home. ”

"I'm not afraid of dismissal," Shen Lie said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that Cheng Wen will hold on to the relationship between Master Dong and Daduhu, and will rectify him to death." ”

Hu Yufei frowned: "The old man is also worried about this." The relationship between Brother Dong Xian and Dadu Hu, and the relationship between you and Murong Concubine, can be said to be known throughout the dynasty, and most of them can't avoid this level. ”

"Before Shen came here, Dadu Hu had already foreseen this situation and made special arrangements. Therefore, we can transfer Master Dong at any time. Shen Lie said solemnly.

"That's good, that's good." Hu Yufei nodded again and again: "Hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong, the sooner the better." However, Brother Dong Xian's affairs are easy to handle, but Princess Fenyang's side is difficult to handle. ”

Shen Liejian raised his eyebrows: "What?" Cheng Wen also attacked Li Xi? ”

Hu Yufei said worriedly: "It's not to the point of starting, but it's about the same." The demon queen made an excuse and forcibly took the princess into the palace and lived with Concubine Hui. You say, "Isn't this a hostage?" ”

Yuan Bin looked at Shen Lie: "It's the same as what Dadu Hu and Murong Commander guessed." ”

Shen Lie nodded, and asked instead, "Master Hu, do you have a way to contact Li Xi?" ”

Hu Yufei thought for a while and responded: "The old man has a protégé who has been listening to errands in Zongzheng Temple, and can freely enter and leave the inner court. In that case, I'll contact him first and take a look. ”

Shen Lie said happily: "It's not necessarily necessary to get in touch with the princess immediately, just learn about her and Concubine Hui's current situation first." ”

Hu Yufei nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I said Shen Changshi, you came this time, it shouldn't be as simple as saving the princess, right?" The Zhenjiang army is full of talents and masters, and a task like this can be sent to anyone at will. ”

Shen Lie secretly praised Hu Yufei in his heart, and responded with a smile: "I won't tell you anything, I'm here for Cheng Wen and the Zhenguo Mansion." Master Hu, in your opinion, did the emperor really be murdered by Cheng Wen and placed under house arrest. ”

"Needless to say? Ironclad! Hu Yufei said angrily: "Whether the emperor is poisoned or sick, even if he is paralyzed by a stroke and bedridden, there is no reason not to see the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee all the time!" If he is really unconscious, then according to the rules, the royal family and important ministers will cooperate in the government. But like now, Your Majesty can still issue edicts and decrees to the outside world, but he just hides from everyone, what does it mean? It shows that the emperor is in trouble! Otherwise, he wouldn't have torn his face and beaten hundreds of officials in Chengtianmen! ”

Shen Lie frowned: "In that case, why do you continue to forbear?" Isn't there anyone thinking of rescuing the emperor? ”

Hu Yufei shook his head: "Hey, it's not easy to talk about, Brother Shen." Do you think it's still the time you were in the middle of the court? At that time, the Beiya Reverse Scale Division, let alone a mere queen, even if the entire royal family was combined, no one dared to touch half a hair of the emperor. You must know that the Reverse Scale Division is the emperor's private soldier, and he really dares to kill the emperor to the blood. But now? The current reverse scale division is a group of wrecks who eat inside and out! ”

He paused and continued: "The emperor was suddenly plotted, and the demon queen quickly used Jiao Zhao to control the forbidden army in the imperial capital. Without military power in hand, no matter how high the rank of the courtiers is, they are equivalent to lambs to the slaughter. How do you ask them to save the emperor? They couldn't even bear the beating of Chengtianmen. ”

Shen Lie took a long breath helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: Who can blame this? The most blamed person is Li Bing himself. As the lord of a country, he is suspicious and stubborn, jealous and jealous, alienated from loyal ministers and good generals, and close to traitors and villains. From Wei Zixuan to Tian Mu, from Tian Mu to Cheng Wen, the crises in this ring are all the evil results that he has been planting with his own hands.

Back then, as the crown prince, he didn't believe in the first emperor, but was willing to believe in Xie Guang and Lao Jianhua, which caused the Shengtang Sheji to be almost cut off directly.

Until now, he is not worried about Jiang Yao, Shen Lie, and even Murong Xue is gradually not at ease, but trusts the rebel spy Wei Zixuan, the mercenary Tian Mu, and Cheng Wen who is like a snake and scorpion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the blame is self-inflicted!

It is still reasonable for Jiang Yao to say at the beginning: "There is no need to compete with people like Li Bing for a while, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and there will be times when he suffers a big loss." ”

Now it seems that Jiang Yao really said that Li Bing himself made himself miserable, and he was unlucky with the whole world.

Speaking from the heart, if it weren't for the first emperor who died generously for the sake of Shengtang, I am afraid that his old man will be heroic and difficult to look at, and I really don't want to care about this mess in front of me anymore!

-

Hu Yufei's words suddenly pulled Shen Lie back from his complicated thoughts: "Brother Shen, let's talk about it, how to deal with the demon queen next?" ”

Shen Lie arched his hand: "Master Hu, you are an old-timer in the imperial court, Shen wants to hear your high opinion first, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

"I can't talk about pointing," Hu Yufei waved his hand: "I'm old, and many things are useless...... Hey, to be honest, even if I'm not old, I'm not a top figure in the court. Nian Taifu and He Da are the mainstays of Shengtang. However, from the old man's point of view, there are only two ways to solve the current crisis, one is a little more expensive and the other is very expensive. ”

Shen Lie responded: "What do you mean is a coup d'état in the imperial capital, or a rebellion in the imperial capital. ”

Hu Yufei stroked his long hair and nodded and said, "That's right." If you want to pay a smaller price, then launch a coup d'état within the imperial capital and eradicate all the forces of the demon queen and her Cheng family in one fell swoop. But if you don't care about the cost, it depends on most of the people. Hundreds of thousands of troops rose up to fight the king and returned to the imperial capital! ”

Shen Lie smiled bitterly: "Of course we hope that if we don't make a big move, we will try not to make a big move." For so many years, the army of Shengtang has done nothing else, leaving only brothers to fight and kill each other. ”

"Then a small coup d'état!" Hu Yufei waved his hand: "As long as you are well prepared, in fact, a few people or a dozen people can do it." Isn't that what the demon queen did? There is also the pilgrim master of our Holy Tang, who only brought nine people back then, and killed the hidden prince who was competing with him for the throne. ”

Of course, Shen Lie understood what he said, but, as Hu Lao said, the premise of launching a coup d'état to seize power is that it must be well prepared. Otherwise, it is tantamount to sending death in vain.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lie said in a deep voice: "Then we will make full preparations in this direction." First of all, the first step is to determine the safety of the princess, concubine, concubine, and princes, as well as the situation of His Majesty. ”

Hu Yufei patted his chest: "The old man will inquire about these things." ”

Shen Lie nodded gratefully, and then turned to Yuan Bin: "You go and contact the brothers of the Intelligence Department, and prepare to escort Dong Tianxing's family out of Beijing, this matter must be fast!" ”

"Obedience!" Yuan Bin agreed loudly.

Shen Lie said to Hu Yufei again: "Lord Hu, since we prefer to launch a coup d'état, we must try to paralyze Cheng Wen now, let her relax her guard, and think that she has taken control of the overall situation." Only then will we have a chance to succeed. ”

Hu Yufei agreed: "That's right. The old man understands what you mean, I have secretly informed some old friends in the past few days, and persuaded them not to fight against the queen again, but to take the initiative to show their loyalty. ”

"It's not necessary to show loyalty, that will cause Cheng Wen's suspicion." Shen Lie sneered: "Shen went to find someone and asked him to come forward to sing, and when the time comes, please cooperate with everyone." ”

Hu Yufei hesitated for a moment, and then tried to ask, "Can Brother Shen be more detailed?" The old man might as well talk to the courtiers in advance. Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, then forget it, I just remind them to pay attention. ”

Shen Lie said casually: "What's inconvenient to say? You don't have to hide anything. The person I'm looking for is Tian Mu. ”

"Tian Mu? The guy at both ends of the first rat? Hu Yufei was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's him." Shen Lie said with a smile: "I want to force this Lord Tian to give Cheng Wen a lesson, suggesting that during the emperor's illness, the queen will temporarily listen to the government." ”

Hearing this, Hu Yufei first showed a stunned expression, and then reacted again: "Wonderful, Shen Changshi, it is worthy of you!" ”
