The direction in which Li Ji was going was the mansion of his best friend Lu Lu.

Along the way, Li Ji still remembered the threatening words in the letter: if the thing is successful, the king will be crowned, and if the thing fails, the jade will be burned.

Li Ji and Lu Lu have a deep friendship. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, in the face of friendship and family affection, Li Ji resolutely chose the latter. And he chose the latter more than once, the situation in the imperial court has reached such a critical moment, how can his friend Xiaoyi compare to the righteousness of the country, even if the prime minister and the captain do not give orders, Li Ji will do his best for the country without hesitation.

Li Ji on the Xuan car is difficult to calm down all the way, and Cheng is brilliant in the annals of history, which is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Lu Lu's house was originally in the east market of Hengmen Street in the northwest of Chang'an, and since he became a general, he instigated Lu Chan to order a luxurious courtyard outside the north gate of Weiyang Palace to be given to him, which is known as convenient for office.

Outside the north gate of Weiyang Palace, in addition to the official office area, it is also the residence of the heroes and nobles. Back then, in order to repay Xiahou Ying for saving a pair of children who were kicked off the carriage by Liu Bang, Empress Lu gave him the first house outside the north gate, which Empress Lu called "close to me". Although Lu Lu had already coveted Xiahou Ying's first house, he could only swallow saliva, after all, it was Empress Lu's grace.

Lu Lu's new mansion was chosen next to Xiahou Ying's courtyard, showing his dignity.

Li Ji came to the General's Mansion, the lanterns hanging high reflected the magnificence of the gate, and Lu Lu's family soldiers were looking around with strong bows in the towering watchtower, with serious expressions and deep guards, as if the enemy was present, ready to attack at any time.

"Stop, who's coming?" The general in the watchtower shouted, and by the way, he made a posture of archery.

It's me, annoying the general to inform me, and he said that Li sent a visit and had important matters to discuss.

After a while, the door of the General Liang Wang's mansion creaked and opened, and the Lu Lu family wanted to guide Li Ji in, but Li Ji went straight to Lu Lu's bedroom, and Li Ji was familiar with Lu Lu's mansion. Li Ji didn't want to lose his courtesy, but he thought that this was the only way to show that the matter was urgent.

He shouted in front of Lu Lu's bedroom: King Liang, King Liang, something is wrong!

Lu Lu didn't go to bed at that time, and he was still having a hot fight with his favorite concubine, and he heard the call of Li Ji outside, and knew that something was happening, so he put on his clothes and opened the door.

Seeing that Lu Lu was disheveled, Li Ji said respectfully: King Liang, I am bothering me late at night, I really have something important, I hope King Liang will forgive me!

Lu Lu waved his hand and said: Brother Li, why do you say this? You and I have a relationship, and we still care about this little section!

Lu Lu took Li Ji into the secret room, this secret room is a place where Lu Lu discusses important matters with others, and ordinary people can't know about it at all.

I got the exact news from a friend who came back from the Qi Kingdom, Guan Ying is conspiring with the King of Qi to join forces to attack Chang'an, and it is equivalent to death!

When Lu Lu heard this, he was shocked and said: This matter is serious!

Absolutely true! Liji affirmed.

Lu Lu was originally a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, and he was extremely trusting of Li Ji, so he was convinced of it, and then thought about Zhao Wang Lu Chan recently ordered him to step up the training of armor soldiers to deal with contingencies. Thinking about it, it really happened to be a catastrophe.

Seeing that Lu Lu was a little stunned, Li Ji knew that his old friend had already believed in seven points, so he continued: Furthermore, back then, Gaozu swore that the Liu family could not be crowned king, and now the three kings of the Lu family are all against Gaozu's orders, in the past, the Empress Dowager Lu was here, and the ministers did not dare to object, and now that the Empress Dowager has died, those old ministers will also take action.

After being reminded by Li, Lu Lu suddenly felt a little suffocated, he was born to be the master of eating, drinking and having fun, how could he go through such a big storm. I was at a loss for a while, and I was dumbfounded: That... That's good, Brother Li, you, you have to think of a way for this king!

Li Ji sighed heavily, then pondered for a while, and said: There is a way, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do!

Brother Li, then you should say it quickly, this king is dying in a hurry.

At that time, the Queen Mother and the old ministers agreed that the three kings of the Lu family and the seven kings of the Liu family were the will of the Queen Mother Lu, not the actions of you. It's just that the general, as a vassal king, did not enter the country without a fief, stayed in the capital for a long time and held heavy troops, and the emperor was young and of unknown origin, how could it not make people suspicious? Those who have long been ambitious will naturally take the opportunity to make trouble, but only now that the general can hand over the talisman and return it to the captain, and leave the land of right and wrong in Chang'an, he can have no worries!

Although Lu Lu felt that it was inappropriate, he would definitely not be able to think of a better way with his IQ.

The next day, Lu Lu asked several elders of the Lu family for advice, but the result of the consultation was equivalent to no opinion, some people agreed, and some people disagreed.

Lu Lu told Lu Chan about this in a tactful way.

Lu Chan's reply was a word, etc. Lu Chan's thinking was very clear, he didn't know where Lu Lu got the news, but he knew that the top priority was not Guan Ying and Liu Xiang, who were thousands of miles away, but the anti-Lu forces hidden in Chang'an City.

Lu Lu hesitated for a moment.

Knowing that Lu Lu was hesitant, Li sent Lu Lu out hunting for several days.

Hunting is fake, brainwashing is real.

But no matter how stupid Lu Lu is, he will not know the truth that he has a gun in his hand and is not panicked. It happened that the two passed by the door of Wuyang Hou Fan Xu's house on the way back from hunting, Fan Xu's widow Lu Xiao saw the two, she beckoned them in and chatted, when she learned that her nephew would return to Yin Yu Taiwei, and she went to seal the country to take office, Lu Xiao was very angry, and scolded: Yongnu, as a general, but you want to abandon the army and go to the country, so the Lu family will suffer a great disaster!

Although Lu Xiao is a woman, she still has a bit of a brain.

But Lu Lu is too stupid, in his opinion, if he doesn't abandon the army and the country, he will suffer, why is this aunt just the opposite of Li Ji? He also knew that this aunt was difficult to get along with, so he naturally went in his left ear and out his right ear to her words, just casually perfunctory.

Lu Xiao saw that her nephew didn't take his words seriously, so she was even more angry. Li Ji was beside her, and she couldn't say it too clearly. In this case, Lu Xiao continued to continue her highly creative performance art, which stunned Lu Lu and Li Ji for a while. Lu Xiao took out all the gold, silver and jewelry in the house and scattered them on the ground, gathered all the attendants in the family into the courtyard and shouted: "The family is dying, everyone is scattered, why do you want to keep these goods for others?" ”

If there was a Journey to the West at that time, it would inevitably make people think if this was Zhu Bajie's mantra.

Lu Lu couldn't understand where his aunt got the fire, and thought that he was unlucky today, so he had a good hunt and ran into a crazy woman.

He escaped quickly when he was unprepared.

Coming out of the crazy old woman's house, Lu Lu faintly felt uneasy, and couldn't help but lose his fun, so he said goodbye to Li Ji and went to the camp of the Northern Army. Li Ji looked at Li Ji's back, and couldn't help but be a little deflated.

It was another ten days, and the person Lu Chan was waiting for finally returned.

Lang Zhong ordered Jia Shou to return from Qi State, and confirmed the news that Guan Ying and Qi State would join forces to attack Chang'an in the near future.

The stone in Lu Chan's heart was put down.

He sneered in his heart: Finally, you can start doing it!

All of Lu Chan's previous preparations were waiting for this news, and he believed that he would definitely be able to wait for this news. In fact, it turned out to be so. He saw from the years of observation and internship experience around Empress Lu that it is easy for those in power to kill people, but it is not easy to use killing to prevent themselves from being killed, because people cannot be killed, the country is so big, there are so many things, even if you are in power, there must always be people who do the work. Killing people can't be too casual, if killing people is just to make enemies for yourself, then it's useless to kill more. Gao Hou once taught Lu Chan that the struggle should be based on the brain and wisdom. Otherwise, how can she rule as a heroine? How difficult is it to win power by killing innocents indiscriminately? Therefore, if Lu Chan wants to kill those who are dissatisfied with the DPRK, he cannot be without a name. It is better not to kill if you kill without a name. Now that there is evidence of the rebellion between the infant and the King of Qi, this is a big crime. With this name, the striking surface can be expanded step by step, just like a branch with a stem, and a stem with a root can generally implicate a large area. The recommenders of the baby were Chen Ping, who considered himself the first adviser of the two dynasties, and those ministers who supported Chen Ping that day, and with this evidence, it was not difficult to catch them all.

Lu Chan deeply admired his plan, and he was so leaky.

He said to Jia Shou: "Go, enter the palace!" ”

Just when Lu Chan and Jia Shou came out of the government office with a bunch of armor soldiers and hurried towards Weiyang Palace, they seemed to forget that the place under their feet was a public place, and there were not only a few of them in it.

Cao Gu, who has just been promoted to the imperial doctor, is the son of Cao Shen, and belongs to the second generation of Hou. He happened to be on duty at the Imperial History Mansion, and unfortunately heard the conversation between Lu Chan and Jia Shou, and watched them hurriedly go to the north gate of Weiyang Palace, and suddenly felt bad, and quickly put down the work at hand and ran to Chen Ping's Mansion to report. Chen Ping learned that he knew that Lu Chan was about to do it. He urgently found Zhou Bo to deal with it.

After deliberation, the two agreed that if they did not control the Northern Army, it would be too late.

They secretly summoned three young people to come, one was the Xiangping Marquis Ji Tong of the Zhangfu Festival, Ji Tong was the son of the founding father Ji Cheng, who inherited his father and belonged to the second generation of Hou, one was Liu Jie, a royal pawn, and the other was Li Ji. All three of them are now hardcore Bao Liu factions.

Zhou Bo and the three of them hurried to the camp of the Northern Army stationed in Lantian, the Northern Army, as the most important protective force in the capital, did not have a general that no one could enter, and the officers and men of the Northern Army have always had the military rules of recognizing India and not people.

First, Ji Tong entered Lu Lushuai's tent to falsely pass the holy decree and ordered him to return the seal.

Ji Tong just came out, Li Ji, Liu Jie, went to ask to see Lu Lu, and when he saw Lu Lu, he even lied that Chang'an was in chaos, and if he didn't hand over the general seal, those old courtiers would be killed in the camp of the Northern Army.

One person lies, and three come true.

Under the joint flickering of the two, Lu Lu was finally so frightened that he handed over the seal, and hurried back to his home in Chang'an to prepare to drag his son and daughter to cover the cover.

As soon as Lu Lu left with his front foot, Li Ji Liu Jie's back foot followed him out and gave the general's seal letter to Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo entered the barracks of the Northern Army, gathered the army, and shouted: Left for the Liu family, right for the Lu family.

The officers and men of the whole army did not hesitate to show their left arms, which was all caused by Lu Lu's power in the army.

Chen Ping, who was anxious, was immediately relieved when he received the news that Zhou Bo had taken over the Northern Army.

Chen Ping clearly felt that the most thrilling moment was in the next step, and the next step was Lu Chan's southern army, which was still in control of the palace and was much more difficult to deal with than Lu Lu. If you miscalculate a move, you will definitely lose the whole game. So to defeat him in the end, you have to show a killer feature.

The killer feature in Chen Ping's heart is not surprising, he is Liu Zhang, Marquis of Zhu Xu.

Liu Zhang is not only the most fierce person in the entire Liu royal family, but his work is also crucial, he and his younger brother Liu Xingju just happened to guard the gate of Weiyang Palace. Although Chen Ping was not sure of Liu Zhang's ambitions, he was sure that Liu Zhang must be very interested in Lu Chan's head.

Chen Ping ordered Cao Cave to tell Liu Zhang, Marquis of Zhu Xu, to hold the gate of Weiyang Palace and not to let Lu come out. Liu Zhang had long been eager to kill Lu Chan, so he was naturally very happy. Although Weiyang Palace is very large, there are four gates, of which the north gate and the east gate have que, and the other two are basically in a state of invalidity. The princes came to the court to enter the east que, and the scholars and people went to the north to enter the north que. As long as these two gates are guarded, it will be difficult for Lu Chan to fly with wings.

After seeing Liu Zhang, Cao Cave immediately entered the front hall of Weiyang Palace, which was the place where the ministers of the Son of Heaven held a court meeting. After Cao Cave entered the front hall, he ordered the armor of the front hall to not allow Lu Chan to enter the palace of the Son of Heaven.

Lu Chan was dispatching troops in the Weiyang Palace, and suddenly saw Cao Cave entering the front hall of the Weiyang Palace, I didn't know what was going on, and stepped forward to ask, but was stopped by the armor outside the palace.

Lu Chan was extremely angry, and immediately went back to transfer troops, intending to surround the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

Cao Gu was afraid of the southern army in Lü Chan's hands, and did not dare to act rashly, he saw Lü Chan go away in a rage, and immediately sent a messenger to inform Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo saw that his eyebrows were already burned, so he immediately made a decision and ordered Liu Zhang to enter the palace to defend the young emperor and kill Lu Chan. Liu Zhang got the order and said: It is difficult for me to do things alone, give me a thousand people!

Zhou Bo did not hesitate to give him a thousand foot soldiers.

The young and vigorous Liu Zhang raised his long sword and shouted: Kill Lu Chan and defend my country.

Liu Zhang entered the palace with a thousand foot soldiers and killed Lu Chan.

Lu Chan was busy transferring troops in the palace, and suddenly saw Liu Zhang leading a team of men and horses to come, and he knew that something was wrong.

When a thousand foot soldiers saw Lu Chan, their eyes were red, and they rushed forward with a roar, wanting to make a meritorious move.

Lu Chan and his subordinates were stunned by their momentum, and when they came back to their senses, Lu Chan saw that the guards in front of him were dead and could escape. The elite soldiers in Lu Chan's heart turned out to be vulnerable. Lu Chan immediately hugged his head and ran away.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can Liu Zhang let it go? He quickly chased after him.

Lu Chan was scurrying around in the palace like a headless fly, Weiyang Palace was so huge, but there was no corner where he could hide, so Lu Chan could only flee to the palace gate. When he arrived at the palace gate, he found that a group of swordsmen and armor soldiers had already been waiting for him. Lu Chan could only turn around and walk again, hiding and hiding, and finally found the safest place in the palace - the toilet, which was also his burial place.

The soldiers soon found Lu Chan hiding in the toilet and shivering, Liu Zhang didn't talk nonsense, and with a sword down, Lu Chan was finished.

The fierce Liu Zhang knows the importance of cutting grass and eradicating roots. After killing Lü Chan, he quickly led his troops to Changle Palace and found Lü Gengshi, another member of the Lü family. Lu Gengshi didn't know that Lu Chan was killed, so he greeted him with a smile. Unexpectedly, it was the bloody long sword in Liu Zhang's hand.

After killing Lü Gengshi, Liu Zhang had already controlled the entire court.

Zhou Bo learned the news of Lu Chan's killing, and said with a smile: What I am worried about is only Lu Chan, and now Lu Chan has been eliminated, and the big trouble has disappeared.

With Zhou Bo's efforts, the Lu family, regardless of men, women, and children, were all killed.

There are no more straw bales and garbage surnamed Lu in the court.

However, another problem has popped up!
