Xingyefang, Yuqing Street, Mofu.

"Ahem——"

Mo Haoli leaned on the pillow, looking very weak. After he stopped coughing, he closed his eyes and rested for a moment. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man sitting beside the bed, and said in a low tone: "Ji Yu, do you know

Why did I stand up to support my current successor?"

Luo Ting said seriously: "Jun Xinggong is devoted to Daliang."

After the late emperor died of a serious illness, Liu Zheng was not the only one who was expected to ascend to the throne. Emperor Zhongzong also had several well-connected princes, especially Liu Jun, Prince of Qing. It was just because Liu Zheng owned Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang.

With the strong support of an important minister, the other princes had to give up their illusions. Sixteen years later, Emperor Kaiping's brothers passed away one after another, and among his uncles, only Prince Duan and Prime Minister Liu remained.

In the eyes of many people, Mo Haoli chose to support Liu Zheng just for his own authority and status. After all, Liu Zheng had good relations with Wu Xun in the military before, but he did not have much contact with civilian officials in North Korea and China.

Hearing Luo Ting's praise, Mo Haoli wanted to make a joke, but when he remembered the temperament of this junior, he had to give it up and changed the topic: "Throughout the history books, there have been countless tragedies involved in the struggle for the throne in the past dynasties. I just

I don’t want the huge Liang Kingdom to fall into civil strife. Today, you are facing the same situation I faced back then, but I don’t know how you plan to deal with it?”

Luo Ting was silent for a moment, with a hint of bitterness on his face. He raised his head and said, "Jun Xinggong, I was thinking about something last night."

"What's the matter?"

"In the so-called assassination, is Your Majesty just pushing the boat along, or is Your Majesty leading the snake out of its hole?"

"There seems to be no difference between the two."

"Of course."

Luo Ting spoke sternly and raised his tone slightly: "If it's the former, I can barely accept it. After all, someone is spying on Dabao with evil intentions. But if it's the latter, I think your Majesty's move is tantamount to self-destruction. Listen to me last night

Chaos in the city,

The garrison division and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were reduced to pawns of the fourth prince. There were conflicting opinions within the Forbidden Army, and the palace was in chaos. People's hearts were floating, and disputes arose. In addition, the recent inspection in the capital made some people panic, and Kyoto was transformed overnight.

It becomes a place of chaos.”

He paused, frowned and said: "I never believe that Pei Yue will regicide and rebel, and I don't believe that His Majesty will easily fall into a trap. But the city is already in chaos, and some ministers are ostensibly because of Your Majesty's actions.

I was shocked and saddened by the bad news, but in fact, my thoughts had been on the fourth prince for a long time, and I had dreamed of being a hero from the dragon. Jun Xinggong, if your majesty created such a big battle just to test the loyalty of the ministers, then you would put the rest of us at risk.

Where?"

Mo Haoli was slightly startled, and after a long time he sighed: "I can assure you that this matter was definitely not initiated by His Majesty. As the number one person in the East Palace, you should know that His Majesty has been preparing to conquer Zhou for many years. He

How could you sit back and watch the situation become so chaotic?"

Luo Ting said in a deep voice: "It turns out that His Majesty couldn't find out the fourth prince's trump card, so he could only resort to tricks."

Mo Haoli said slowly: "Have you ever thought about why the fourth prince must hold the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion? Even the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion and Guangping Marquis Mansion only sent people to keep an eye on them and did not forcibly plunder the hostages to threaten Pei Yue.

?”

Luo Ting's face was solemn, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Jun Xing, for reminding me. I'm going to Beicheng now."

Mo Haoli frowned and said, "The fourth prince may not be afraid of you. Now he holds military power."

Luo Ting said with emotion: "I am the right-wing governor appointed by His Majesty. I should stand up at this time."

He saluted and said goodbye, then left firmly.

Mo Haoli looked at his back with relief and emotion in his eyes.

…

Kyoto, Beicheng.

There are many iron armors on the city, and soldiers are forming formations below the city. The tense and depressed mood spreads in the breeze of early summer morning.

As King Liu Zan of Yan's powerful words of persuasion to surrender spread, many high-ranking officials and generals appeared on the city walls.

Pei Yue looked up and saw that the people he knew were Chengyang Hou Zhangwu, Chengyi Hou Guo Kaishan, Fengcheng Hou Li Bingzhong, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Duan Lun, Ministry of War Shangshu Liu Daxia, Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Xiangxian, Imperial Academy Lecturer Han Qingduan and so on.

In addition, there were a group of unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before, but he could tell from the rank of their official uniforms that those who could walk up the city wall and stand behind Liu Zan were definitely not junior officials of seventh or eighth rank.

These people usually wouldn't dare to show contempt for Pei Yue even if they didn't lower their posture when they saw him, but when they come together at this moment, they can form a powerful force.

Especially now that Pei Yue was suspected of regicide and rebellion, they looked condescendingly at this once glorious young powerful man, with ridicule clearly revealed in their eyes.

Liu Zan looked at the silent Pei Yue. He seemed to be in no hurry and quite enjoying the scene.

After a while, Pei Yue said loudly: "Your Highness, King Yan, do you think there is any evidence for my regicide and rebellion?"

Liu Zan scolded: "You are trying to challenge the patience of my king and the court by making excuses even when you are about to die. Well, since you want to die clearly, I will tell you in front of all the officials and soldiers.

.Yesterday at the Xingliang Prefecture Yuanqiu Altar,

There are three assassins who want to commit treachery. Although you stopped them, can you tell us how you allowed a few assassins to get away with the entire Circle Qiu Altar being under your control and protected by tens of thousands of troops inside and outside?

Go in?"

All the officials were shocked.

Liu Zan said sarcastically: "After much thought, I realized that this was just a play arranged by you to win the trust of my father. After the ceremony of worshiping heaven was over, you took advantage of the opportunity to be alone with your father to poison him and murder him."

Emperor, and then immediately gave instructions

His generals took control of the situation and imprisoned the three princes, Duke Wei and others. Now you are still pretending to be a loyal minister. If you are really a loyal minister, you will immediately release the princes and others you have detained, and then personally escort your father.

The emperor enters the city!"

These words were reasonable and well-founded, and the courtiers nodded frequently.

Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng, suddenly asked: "May I ask why Your Highness knows these things so well?"

Liu Zan said calmly: "My father has a personal bodyguard named Luan Yiwei, who is responsible for secretly protecting the safety of the holy driver. Because my father has too much trust in Pei Yue, a traitor, he has the opportunity to use his heavy troops to commit crimes."

After a rebellion, Luan Yiwei had no choice but to flee back to the capital to report the news. Now that my father, the eldest brother and others are in the hands of this thief, for the sake of the safety of Daliang, I have to temporarily replace my father to deal with the crisis."

Li Bingzhong seemed to be sincerely convinced, bowed and said: "Your Highness is wise."

The others looked at each other, not complaining about the speed of this guy's change of attitude, but regretting that he had taken the lead, and immediately praised him.

For a time, there was a flood of flattery on the city walls, but there was deathly silence below the city.

It's like two worlds.
