The behemoth of Empress Lu collapsed, and the Lu family suddenly fell into tension.

The reason why the Lu Hou autocracy chose to rely on the Lu family and suppress the Liu family was not only to retaliate against Liu Bang, but also to eliminate political opponents. She wants dictatorship, and the only ones who can threaten her are those disobedient children of the Liu family. As a female stream in a weak position in the etiquette law, she can only rely on the power of her relatives, so reusing the Lu family and suppressing the Liu family is also a helpless move after thinking twice.

However, she never expected that in this way, the original in-laws of the Lu family and the Liu family were pushed into a situation where ice and charcoal could not be used together, and the two families were already in a situation where they were in a situation where they could not be used together.

Empress Lu was also aware of the problem, and in order to make up for the existing rifts, she also made a lot of moves to unite the two clans, but after all, the scars have been carved, and she can barely cover up and maintain her life in the world, and as soon as she leaves, hatred will inevitably erupt.

With the departure of Empress Lu, the people of the Lu clan suddenly understood that the glory and status of the Lu clan today came from Empress Lu, who was able to exert power over the world and force those meritorious ministers to protect themselves, all because of the support of Empress Lu behind. Now that Empress Lu is gone, the balance of power has been broken, and in order to achieve a new balance, there must be new changes in the court pattern.

As the head of the clan, Xiangguo Lu Chan suddenly felt pressure in the face of the undercurrent situation.

In the past, Lu Chan had never had such a feeling, as if the mountain rain was coming, and it seemed that Mount Tai was overwhelming.

After eight years of training by his aunt, although Lu Chan can't be said to have a deep understanding of the lifeline of the imperial court, he can still understand the situation.

Despite this, what made Lu Chan feel a little comforted was that the most important defense forces in the capital, the Southern Army and the Northern Army, were in his own hands. And as long as these two armies are firmly controlled, even if it is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu will not want to set off any waves in the capital!

Moreover, Empress Lu's dying edict had already made arrangements for them, even if she was given a funeral, neither of them had to leave the palace for the funeral.

Lu Chan admires his aunt from the bottom of his heart, a female streamer, who handles state affairs with ease, holds power and advances and retreats freely, not only is she calculating, but also takes into account the overall situation, no wonder those old courtiers under Gaozu are also fiddled with by him!

Lu Ze died early, if it weren't for his aunt's promotion and care over the years, relying on the little credit accumulated by his father, how could he stand at the top of the empire's power? Now, my aunt left suddenly, the Lu family is in danger, and the burden of defending the family has fallen on me, how can I retreat, how can I live up to my aunt's hard work? Lu Chan secretly swore in his heart that he must protect the Lu clan in order to comfort his aunt's spirit in the sky.

After planning and moving, Lü Chan found the general Lü Lu and ordered Lü Lu to send a funeral for Empress Lü, while he strictly guarded the palace in case of accidents.

Seeing that Lu Chan had arranged so closely, the anti-Lu clique in the DPRK did not dare to act rashly for a while, and quieted down first.

After the funeral ceremony of Empress Lu was completed, Lu Chan once again calmed down and thought about the court situation.

He very clearly remembered the oath made by Emperor Gao Bai Ma back then, "If you are not Liu, you will not be crowned king", and now the seven kings of the Liu family and the three kings of the Lu family, he is one of them, if he does not plan early, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble!

The best way to avoid being killed by others is to kill others first. This was the best struggle experience that Lü Chan learned from Lü Hou.

Lü Chan summoned Lü Lu and several Lü clan backbones and began to brew a purge plan that would strike first.

The participants were both excited and frightened when they learned that the vote would be a big deal.

It's like a big gamble, betting on the life and glory of wealth, the winner will win a high return, and the loser will have nothing or even die. And the Lu family also saw that in this gambling game, all parties involved in the gambling game were not on the same starting line. In the words of the current stock market, the Lu family is the banker, while the other parties are retail investors, and when the banker makes a move, it is the time when the retail investor bleeds. But they ignore a very simple truth, if retail investors unite to raise funds to enter the market, the roles of market makers and retail investors may have to be reversed.

Lu Chan and his fellow brothers deliberated over and over again, and finally came to this conclusion.

But Lu Chan is a well-trained politician after all, he did not relax his vigilance because of this, he was able to gain the absolute trust of Empress Lu and stand out in the Lu family, not all by relying on the merits of his father Lu Ze, but most importantly by his own talent and ability.

After all-night discussion and brainstorming among the backbone of the Lu family, a detailed cleaning plan was finally released.

In this plan, the details including the time of the attack, the route, the blacklist, and even the A who is in charge of guarding, B who is in charge of slashing, and C who is in charge of cleaning up are very detailed and specific. Lü Chan strictly ordered all Lü clan personnel to take a heavy oath and keep their mouths shut.

Lu Chan paid attention to all the details, but he seemed to forget that the mouth growing on someone else's body was not something that could be forbidden.

Lu Chan was very confident, he was confident that this was a flawless plan, because he couldn't think of any loopholes, and now the wind and grass in Chang'an City were under his control. He even began to dream that there were countless trembling followers kneeling at his feet, and he would be like his aunt, becoming the glory of the Lu family, and at that time, why not win the artifact? At that point, why not change the world?

Unconsciously, there was an aura of murder in the palace.

Liu Zhang, the twenty-one-year-old Marquis of Zhu Xu, was the first to smell this unusual breath, and he noticed clues from Lu Chan's strange actions.

Liu Zhang is the son of Liu Fei, the king of Qi, the second in line, and the eldest brother Liu Xiang is the current king of Qi. At a young age, he became a celebrity inside and outside the court, and in the eyes of others, he was the star of hope for the Liu family, but in the eyes of the Lu family, he was a mourning star.

In the second year of Gaohou (186 BC), he was married by Empress Lu, married Lu Lunu, and was named Marquis of Zhu Xu. In the sixth year of Gao, according to the imperial court system, he and his younger brother Liu Xingju, the Marquis of Dongmu, entered the capital to guard the court together.

In the seventh year of Gaohou, Liu Zhang feasted with Lv Hou and others, and Lv Hou made him a wine official.

Lu Hou agreed without thinking about it.

When the wine was drunk, Liu Zhang volunteered and sang a song about ploughing the fields, the lyrics were not long, but the hearts of the people present were up and down, like sitting on pins and needles, the lyrics were like this: deep ploughing and irrigation, seedlings want to be comfortable; Those who are not of their kind will hoe and go.

Clear-eyed people can understand the meaning of this popular song as soon as they listen to it, you can sing this song like this: The world conquered by my old Liu family should be taken care of by my old Liu family, not from my old Liu family, you should die!

Liu Zhang's voice was rough, full of indignation in his tone and frustration! In the eyes of others, isn't this a clear use of songs to vent dissatisfaction with the authorities? After hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, looking at each other, wondering if this kid had a brain in the water, and he was tired of it!

After hearing this, the corners of Lu Hou's mouth twitched slightly, and her face became iron-blue, but she didn't have a seizure.

In a delicate atmosphere, there were drunken people in the Lu clan who sneaked away, Liu Zhang found out, and quickly chased him out, and when Liu Zhang came back, he reported to Lu Houyu: There was a person who escaped from the banquet without authorization, and the minister was beheaded according to law.

Liu Zhang's actions shocked everyone.

Although Empress Lu was furious, she had words first, and it was not easy to punish the crime, so she could only retreat abruptly.

The reason why Empress Lu was able to suppress her anger and not attack was not Liu Zhang's fierceness, she wanted to kill Liu Zhang as easily as stepping on an ant, but she couldn't do that, because doing so would undoubtedly give an excuse to the powerful anti-Lu forces behind Liu Zhang.

As a smart person, she knows this very well.

This matter was later settled, but Liu Zhang became more and more famous from then on, the Liu family regarded him as a hero, and the Lu family hid when they saw him, this madman couldn't even take Lu Hou, their only way was not to provoke him.

Now that Empress Lu has suddenly collapsed, the keen Liu Zhang sniffed out the unusual smell, and when he saw the backbone of the Lu family coming in and out of Lu Chan's office, he was keenly aware that Lu Chan had unusual behavior.

What the hell is that old guy's conspiracy?

He suddenly remembered his wife's strange behavior and anxiety recently, and from time to time he sighed.

She must know something! Liu Zhang concluded in his heart

In order to figure out the mystery, he hurried home, closed the door, and prepared for a surprise interrogation, and the object of interrogation was precisely his beloved wife. In the arranged marriage arranged by Empress Lu, Liu Zhang and his wife are a relatively successful couple, and the young couple respect each other like guests and have a very strong relationship.

Liu Zhang's attitude is very clear, confess leniently, resist strictly, don't explain that Lao Tzu sleeps on the big bed, you sleep on the floor.

Liu Zhang's wife looked at her husband with wide frightened eyes.

She is in turmoil, in all fairness, one is a father, the other is a husband, she just hopes that they can be safe, aren't they all a family, why fight back and forth, do you have to make you live or die? All she wants is a happy marriage and a peaceful life, has this become a luxury?

In the face of her husband's aggressive questioning, Liu Zhang's wife finally broke the promise she made to her father, and she told Liu Zhang about the conspiracy of Lu Chan, Lu Lu and others.

After the young Liu Zhang listened, he suddenly felt that the situation was serious. In the huge Chang'an City, except for his younger brother Liu Xingju, he does not have many friends, after all, no one dares to have too much contact with this young and vigorous descendant of the Liu family on the outlet.

Liu Zhang realized that a storm was inevitable, and although the sword and sword suddenly appeared, for him, a God-given opportunity was beckoning to him, and an opportunity to wash away his father's shame had finally come. The Lu family has been in power for more than ten years, and his father occupied a large country of seventy county seats, but he was terrified. As the royal family of the Liu family, this is a great shame, if the Lu family is not brought down, what face will the descendants of the Liu family have to meet Gaozu?

Liu Zhang, a hot-blooded young man, believes that the chaos in the world is not terrible, as long as it can be grasped, this time is often an opportunity for capable people to rise, and I, Liu Zhang, am a capable person, the world is originally the world of the Liu family, why let the Lu family's wine bags and rice bags squat? It's time to pull them down.

He quickly sent people to Qi to his brother Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, to inform his brother of the conspiracy of Lu Chan and others, and repeatedly told the eldest brother that the eldest brother needed to be ready to raise troops from time to time, and when the Lu family was in turmoil, he could take the opportunity to enter Beijing.

Liu Xiang, who was far away in the Qi Kingdom, received a secret report sent by his younger brother Pegasus, and the sentence "Let the eldest brother be enthroned as the emperor" made Liu Xiang very excited.

Liu Xiang knows his younger brother very well, he is by no means a man who talks about it, with them as an internal response, if he raises his arms again, the world will gather to respond, and at that time....Liu Xiang can't help but laugh when he thinks about it.

Without further ado, Liu Xiang immediately found his uncle Sijun, Qi Xiang Zhaoping, Qi Guolang Lieutenant Zhu Wu, Qi State Lieutenant Wei Bo and other high-ranking Qi officials to conspire with each other, and most Qi officials very much agreed with Liu Xiang sending troops into Beijing. is the so-called high risk and high reward, support the bold, starve the cowardly, and once the Lu family succeeds, they will all be famous. Chang'an City is so majestic and magnificent, how can it be compared with the palm-sized place of Linqi City? When it comes to excitement, some people are already gearing up and can't wait.

Moreover, the reason why the Lu clan has been prosperous for more than ten years is not because the anti-Lu group has been eliminated, but because they were temporarily frightened by the authority of Empress Lu. In other words, once the fight starts, Liu Xiang will be the righteous side, and Zhu Lu will be punished by everyone.

Moreover, everyone saw what Liu Xiang meant, he had decided this vote, even if he didn't want to, he had to squeeze on the boat, otherwise, the king of Qi would destroy them before entering Beijing.

While everyone was talking and expressing their allegiance, Qi Xiangzhaoping closed his eyes slightly and looked worried.

Si Jun noticed that Zhaoping's expression was abnormal, so he asked with a smile: Why didn't the prime minister say anything?

As soon as Si Jun said this, the hall suddenly fell silent, only to hear Liu Xiang also say: If the minister of the country has a good plan, even if he comes to it, this king is willing to listen to it.

If you have any high opinions, you can teach us! Don't sell it! Everyone laughed and agreed.

Zhaoping opened his eyes slightly, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said slowly: "King, colleagues, the situation is unknown, you must not send troops without authorization.

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly dumbfounded, and then there was an uproar, and they all said that the old man had taken the wrong medicine.

King Qi was stunned for a while and then said angrily: Prime Minister, how can you say this? The situation is unknown, Zhulu has been in turmoil for many years, how can the situation be unclear? Do you have to wait for this king to lose the throne before the situation is clear?

Zhaoping was not in a hurry or irritated, he replied calmly: This official is an official of the imperial court, and without the will of the imperial court, he will not dare to obey his fate!

Zhaoping has this courage, not because he is stunned, according to the system of the Han Dynasty, the place of more than 2,000 stones, including the prime minister, is appointed by the emperor, the mission of the minister of state is not only to govern the state affairs of the princes, but also to monitor the responsibilities of the princes and kings, Zhaoping is a more roundabout person, he always remembers that he is the official of the court, but he forgot the reason that the emperor takes turns to sit, and foolish loyalty does not have good results.

Hearing him say this, Liu Xiang was already so angry that he walked away!

Si Jun also shouted: Zhaoping, don't toast and don't eat and drink.

After that, he left the table.

A mobilization meeting with a harmonious atmosphere was thus disturbed by Zhaoping's words, Wei Bo shook his head at Zhaoping, who was standing in the lobby, and sighed lightly.

Of course, there is another reason why Zhaoping dares not to buy the account of the king of Qi, that is, according to the law, the princes and kings must have the tiger talisman of the prime minister of the country to send troops, and the so-called gun in his hand is not panicked.

However, as the saying goes, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed. The strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, since you are eating in Qi country, and the background is not hard enough, then you have to give King Qi three points of thin noodles, today you are an official of the imperial court, and tomorrow maybe he will let your head move.

Zhaoping's blatant statement made Liu Xiang hold a grudge, and Liu Xiang openly clamored to kill Zhaoping. In a hurry, Zhaoping made another stupid move and transferred troops to surround the palace. He didn't dare to use the ten dares of the King of Qi to borrow the summons, his plan was to surround the King of Qi first and lose his temper. Seeing that this situation was not right, Wei Bo and the others decided to use a little trick, and Wei Bo came forward to solve this matter, and by the way, solved the stumbling block of Zhaoping.

In the huge officialdom of Qi State, Wei Bo and Zhaoping have the deepest friendship, Zhaoping also relies on Wei Bo's ability to maneuver, at the mobilization meeting that day, although Wei Bo expressed his support for the King of Qi, but Zhaoping understands Wei Bo, this person is extremely sleek, he thinks that Wei Bo is also forced to helplessly.

Zhaoping's logic is very strange, since Wei Bo can be forced to reluctantly express his position, why can't he be forced to follow the King of Qi to raise troops?

When Wei Bo met Zhaoping, he poured a soup of ecstasy on Zhaoping, pretending to support Zhaoping's approach, and bitterly Chen Qiwang's impulse, which made the lonely Zhaoping feel that he had found a firm ally, and the vigilance in his heart suddenly relaxed.

Wei Bo later said to Zhaoping: Xiangguo, you besiege the palace, you are worthy of the country, and the people are worthy of the people, and the court knows that you are loyal to the country, and you will definitely be greatly praised.

Zhaoping was moved by Wei Bo's "heartfelt words". He immediately handed over the tiger talisman in a brisk manner.

As Wei Bo left the Prime Minister's Mansion, a gloomy sneer appeared on his face. He quickly rushed to the Qi Palace, taking the Tiger Talisman, and did something that Zhaoping regretted, Wei Bo ordered the army to evacuate from the Palace, and the direction of the evacuation happened to be the place where he came - the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Zhaoping saw the heavily armed armor soldiers heading towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, he shouted that he was fooled, and his intestines were full of regret! Wei Bo's sneer cut through his heart like a sharp knife, and in desperation, Zhaoping drew his sword and killed himself. Wei Bo, who was on the side, did not dissuade him, and watched with great interest Zhaoping turn into a cold corpse.

After solving Zhaoping, Liu Xiang appointed Si Jun as the new minister of state, Wei Bo as the general, and sent an envoy to contact Liu Ze, the king of Langya. The Qi Palace's top and bottom sharpened their knives for a while.
