When narrating an event, it should include four elements, namely time, place, character, and event.

What Li Li wants to say is a major event that happened in the Shangshu Province, Yecheng, the capital of Qi State in February last year.

The characters involved are Yang Yan, Yan Zixian, Zheng Yi, etc., the auxiliary ministers of Qi State, as well as the uncles of the young emperor of Qi State, Gao Yan, King Changshan and Gao Zhan, King Changguang.

When Wang Lin heard this, she had one eyelid, her face was calm, and she listened with her ears.

Li Li continued to talk about the details of the incident he had heard of.

Gao Yan and Gao Zhan are the young emperor's uncles, with high rank and powerful positions, and are the legitimate sons of the Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun.

When Gao Yang passed away, Lou Zhaojun had the idea of ​​"brothers ended with brothers" and establishing Gao Yan as emperor, so the two kings posed a great threat to the young emperor.

Yang Yan decided to transfer the tiger out of the mountain, transfer the two kings out of the capital, and then cut their wings.

At the same time, the two kings were transferred from the capital. The intention of this move was too obvious, so Yang Yan and Yan Zixian and Zheng Yi thought of a solution.

Gao Zhan was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou and was in charge of Jinyang, while Gao Yan stayed in the capital and recorded the affairs of Shangshu.

According to the rules, King Gao Yan of Changshan recorded the affairs of the Secretary of State, and held a banquet in the Secretary of State, and accepted congratulations from all officials, and practiced it for King Gao Zhan, who was about to leave the capital.

Yang Yan and other auxiliary ministers were also invited to the banquet, but before leaving, Yan Zixian felt that the situation was wrong and felt that there was more or less danger to go there.

But Yang Yan felt that there was no need to be suspicious. He believed that he was open-minded and devoted himself to the country. There was no reason why he didn't even dare to go to the Shangshu Province.

If so, what do you think of the nobles who also attend the banquet?

And this time, something happened.

During the meal, Gao Yan and Gao Zhan gave orders, the servants who were ambushing in advance rushed out and took down Yang Yan and other auxiliary ministers. The nobles who attended the banquet watched coldly.

Yang Yan knew that the incident was leaked, so that the two kings colluded with the nobles and set up a banquet to lure them into the trap before they were sent to the trap. He loudly asked Gao Yan what he had to do with the vassal of the young emperor and the country.

Gao Yan was speechless. Gao Zhan, who had a feud with Yang Yan, directly ordered a move. Yang Yan and others were beaten to the point of bleeding, and Yang Yan was beaten so hard that his eyes were burst.

The two kings then led the seriously injured Yang Yan and rushed into the palace, heading straight to the Zhaoyang Palace where the Empress Dowager Li Zu'e and the Young Emperor Gao Yin were.

At this time, General E Yongle, the general of the Wuwei who was loyal to protecting the master, led thousands of imperial guards to arrive and confronted the two kings in front of the hall. He just waited for the young emperor to give his order and tried hard.

As a result, the Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun, who was also in Zhaoyang Palace, shocked the Empress Dowager Li Zu'e and the Young Emperor Gao Yin in a few words.

Lou Zhaojun also defended his son Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, saying that this move was not a rebellion, but abolishing traitors for the country. Afterwards, he would never seize the throne.

It is said that Gao Yan will "return to power for seven years" like Duke Ji Dan of Zhou assisted King Cheng of Zhou. Even if he controls the government, he will definitely "return to power for seven years."

The Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor were speechless. E Yongle had not received the emperor's order and could not order the imperial soldiers to fight to the death, so he had to give up resistance.

Therefore, the Gong Ren Bing launched by Gao Yan and Gao Zhan was a great success. Yang Yan was seriously injured and died at that time. E Yongle, who was loyal to protecting the Lord, was also executed.

After Li Li finished speaking, he asked Wang Lin: "I only learned some details when I heard about it. Are you clear about this?"

Wang Lin shook her head, and Li Li said again:

"I heard that Lou Zhaojun cried bitterly when he learned that Yang Yan was killed, saying that Yang Yan was a pillar minister. Although what he did was not good for the two kings, he was also for the sake of the young emperor and the country, and he should not have killed him."

"Later, he attended Yang Yan's funeral and put a golden eye on Yang Yan."

"Gao Yan also regretted it, so he ordered that the families of Yang Yan and other auxiliary ministers not be arrested and punished."

Speaking of this, Li Li asked Wang Lin: "Do you think the statement of this mother and son is credible?"

Wang Lin looked at Li Li, remained silent for a moment, and replied: "It's not credible, it's just acting for others to see."

Li Li smiled and said, "Yes, it's just acting."

"Lou Zhaojun acted for others to see in order to reduce the adverse effects of his son's cerebral change."

"As for Gao Yan, he just finished speaking, he would not pursue his relatives. In just a few days, the families of the regent ministers would be arrested, and no one would be left behind."

"It's a blessing that the assistant officials couldn't stand it. They felt that it was really unreasonable to break their promises. After admonishment, Gao Yancai changed to kill only the chief ministers of the regents to establish his authority."

Li Li asked Wang Lin again: "Do you think this can be powerful?"

Wang Lin still looked at Li Li, her heart beat violently and her back felt cold.

After a long time, he replied: "No, it will only make people see that there is no good ending to be a loyal minister."

"Oh? How can I see it?" Li Li asked knowingly, and Wang Lin replied:

"It's very simple. The minister of the regent is considering the young emperor, but he has cut off the power of the sect but ends up tragically. The general of the guards is loyal to protecting the lord and is executed later. Then, there will be no civil and military officials who will uphold the moral integrity of the ministers to safeguard the monarch."

Li Li applauded: "So I think it's really difficult to be a loyal minister these days."

Wang Lin stared at Li Li again, feeling that the old acquaintance in front of him was like a tiger at this moment, staring at the little beast that was forced into a corner and had nowhere to escape.

That little beast is Wang Lin himself.

Wang Lin said with difficulty: "Li Lang, Li Lang, sit for a while."

This is not a request, it is a plea.

He lamented in his heart: Since you think it is very difficult to be a loyal minister, then don't get involved today...

Wang Lin’s return to Beijing this time was indeed because of her nephew, but the person she had to deal with was not the Princess of Xiangdong, but Li Li.

But he didn't want to be enemies with Li Li, one for friendship, and the other is because if Li Li is the opponent, he would not have the confidence to win.

However, the Yecheng Incident that Li Li just mentioned has shown that the other party had seen through it long ago.

So, since Li Li dared to be invited to the mansion today, he must have made complete preparations.

Originally, he wanted to drag the other party here and delay time today, but now it seems that it is all in the other party's thoughts.

"Is there any good wine? I'm happy today, so I have to drink a few more glasses." Li Li seemed not to hear what Wang Lin meant, and smiled with a relaxed look on his face.

Wang Lin was a little surprised and was sure that Li Li had already expressed his opinion. He felt like he was living in a desperate situation, so he quickly asked someone to drink.

Li Li raised his glass and greeted Wang Lin: "Come, toast to the history of the loyal minister of Qi Yang Yan and E Yongle!"

......

The Secretariat Province, the officials in the lobby of the official office were bleeding. They came to the banquet to congratulate the officials who recorded the Secretariat of Xunyang. They were killed by a group of murderers who suddenly rushed out, and most of the casualties were killed on the spot.

In the midst of chaos, Xiao Dafeng, the king of Yidu, stumbled outward, followed by several murderers, carrying a long blood-drinking sword in his hand, chasing him reluctantly.

Several people came running towards him, and Xiao Dafeng looked closely and saw that it was his guards.

"Save me, save me!!!"

The guards rushed up, and the two protected Xiao Dafeng and ran out, while the others drew their swords to fight the murderers.

A scream came from behind. Xiao Dafeng looked back and saw more murderers rushing out of the hall and quickly slashed several guards behind.

Death is approaching, and I think of the bloody scene in the hall just now, Xiao Dafeng's soul is gone,

His feet became weak, and one of them staggered to the ground. He was raised by the guards and ran outwards.

In the corridors on both sides, there are officials running around in scattered areas. Everyone is only concerned about escaping their lives, so how can they care about saving people?

Thanks to the fact that the two guards were very strong, they could run away with Xiao Dafeng. They barely stopped shortening the distance by the murderers, and ran out of the main gate of the Shangshu Province.

I saw a large group of soldiers coming here, each wearing a strong and sharp-stricken body, and there were many cavalrymen.

Seeing this, Xiao Dafeng felt that he was in a desperate situation and his legs were no longer weak. He ran up and ran to the official army that rushed over: "I am the King of Yidu! There are murderers who committed murder in the Shangshu Province!!"

Soon, he and the guards were surrounded by the soldiers who rushed over.

Xiao Dafeng asked to meet with the generals leading the troops, but the soldiers didn't seem to understand what he was saying.

Judging from the appearance of the soldiers, most of them were short and their appearance was somewhat different from those of the people of the Three Wus.

Xiao Dafeng suddenly thought of one thing: those soldiers who followed Chen Baxian to the north seemed to be ridiculed as "monkeys" because of their short figure and different appearance.

Although he was not good at speaking, he was soon surrounded by the generals leading the troops, but the two guards disappeared.

The generals led the troops were burly and rode on horseback and could speak official language. Before Xiao Dafeng could speak, some soldiers rushed into the Secretariat.

Xiao Dafeng revealed his identity and asked the generals to rescue the murderers immediately when he surrounded and suppressed the murderers.

His brother, Xiao Daxin, the King of Xunyang, and several auxiliary ministers, were attacked at the time of the incident, and his life and death were unknown.

"What! The king received the order of the queen mother and wanted to enter the palace with King Xunyang to rescue the emperor?"

Hou An, who was riding on the horse, shouted loudly, which made Xiao Dafeng stunned when he heard this: I asked you to go to the Secretariat to save people, so where did you say you wanted to go to the palace to save the emperor?

However, before he could speak, he was held hostage, and a knife was pressed on his back, and the tip of the knife was penetrated into the flesh.

A voice came from behind: "Be honest, follow what I said, otherwise, you will kill you!"

Xiao Dafeng was held hostage by someone, and then escorted by the soldiers, boarded a convertible ox cart and headed towards the palace.

After a while, he saw his brother Xiao Daxin, whose chest was dyed red, being carried into the car.

The wound was treated briefly, and then he put on the crotch armor to cover his chest and stood up by someone.

Standing next to Xiao Dafeng.

Xiao Dafeng looked at his brother who had already inhaled less and had more breathing, standing by his side like a puppet, his head was blank.

Hou Andu saw that the "actors" were in place and led the soldiers to rush towards the palace close by, and made the military officers who could speak official language shout:

"The traitor is in chaos, and the prime minister is killed! King Xunyang, King Yidu is ordered by the Queen Mother to enter the palace to rescue the emperor!!"

The palace gate ahead had already begun to fight. Hou An knew that it was his comrade who was grabbing the door.
