"Wei Guogong, there is no soldier around Pei Yue now. What are you afraid of? Could it be that you were frightened by him in Xingliang Mansion and you couldn't even see the situation clearly?"

Liu Zan said in a cold voice, with a hint of anger on his face.

When Wang Pingzhang heard the word "situation", his eyes were extremely deep and he suddenly fell silent.

Pei Yue looked at the garrison soldiers who were eyeing him around, as well as the officials standing behind Liu Zan on the opposite side, and said calmly: "The eldest prince has already told the details of last night, but it is a pity that many people are blind or unwilling to believe it.

. King Yan, you forced His Highness the Sixth Prince to utter deceptive words on the city wall, slandering His Highness for conspiring with me to assassinate His Majesty. It’s a shame that so many people are willing to believe you.”

He paused for a moment, his aura gradually became colder, and he said in a deep voice: "After His Majesty was poisoned, I asked His Highness the Second and His Highness Six to return to Beijing to report the news in front of Duke Wei and others, but only His Highness the Sixth showed up today. What I am very curious about is

, you are not so eager to kill His Highness the Second Prince overnight, are you?"

"What nonsense!"

Liu Zan was furious and said sternly: "Sixth brother deduced that you would join forces with Gu Liang to seize the capital, so he took the initiative to report to me. As for what you said, how can you take it seriously? Even if you ostensibly let the two princes return to the capital,

Who can guarantee that you did not do it secretly? Last night, Xingliang City and even the entire palace were in your hands, and no one can stop what you want to do."

Pei Yue smiled softly, and then looked at the only two soldiers beside him.

The man on the left did not hesitate and immediately took out the fireworks in his arms and fired it.

The sound resounded loudly over Kyoto.

The soldiers of the garrison were shocked. They quickly narrowed the encirclement and pointed their spears at the few people in the middle.

Luo Ting angrily shouted: "Stop!"

Wang Pingzhang also frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

However, the two leaders of the civil and military squads opened their mouths and did not repel these fierce soldiers. They just looked at Chengyang Hou Zhangwu who was standing next to Liu Zan. It was not that they had not heard of the reputation of Wang Pingzhang and Luo Ting, but because of the Kyoto garrison and the imperial army

Similarly, they have never accepted the control of the two governments. They are well-paid and have high spirits. Except for their own generals, they only obey the emperor's will.

At present, Emperor Kaiping cannot wake up, and the eldest prince is suspected of regicide and patricide. The only people in the field who can command these soldiers are Liu Zan and Zhang Wu.

Liu Zan looked gloomy and was about to give an order when he suddenly heard a cold female voice coming from behind.

"Your Highness is here, please get out of my way!"

Everyone turned to look and saw three people appearing outside the garrison soldiers. The second prince, King Qi Liu Yun, was standing on the left, and Ye Qi was on the right.

She held a gun in her left hand and a knife in her right hand, with the blade resting on a young man's neck.

This person is none other than Wei Zhuang, who led the army to attack Dingguo Mansion last night.

Seeing the faces of these three people, Liu Zan felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

The second prince stared at Liu Zan in the distance, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, he wished he could eat his fourth brother alive, and sternly cursed: "Liu Zan, you bastard who kills kings and brothers, everyone will kill you!"

There was an uproar.

If it is possible that the eldest prince conspired with Pei Yue to assassinate the emperor, then the words of the second prince directly refuted his suspicion. It is difficult to judge father and son in imperial power. This is a truth that all learned people have learned from history books, but when it has always been

The eldest prince and the second prince stood together, so the ministers must consider the truth of the matter.

Although the power of following the dragon is very tempting, they have to think clearly about the consequences. If they are not careful, the whole family of the nine tribes will die!

Liu Yun was a bit irritable, so he didn't need anyone to ask him. He stood in the distance and shouted at Liu Zan like a barrage: "You colluded with this old guy like Mr. Liu, let him poison the palace, and then imprisoned me.

Even in front of me

You forced your sixth brother to do things for you in front of you. I never thought you were so vicious, plotting to murder your father and frame your brothers, and taking advantage of the chaos to seize Kyoto. Do you think you can ascend to the throne in this way? I tell you, don't do it here.

The great dream of Spring and Autumn!"

Liu Zan watched helplessly as he reprimanded him one after another. There was a voice in his heart telling him that he must make a decision early. However, when he turned his eyes around, he saw Luo Ting and Wang Pingzhang looking at him indifferently. Even the courtiers who had already pledged their allegiance to him were showing their faces.

Regret and fear, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably for a while.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Pei Yue who was near the chariot. This time he finally clearly saw the mockery in his eyes.

Prince Duan and Prime Minister Liu were in a state of chaos, shouting repeatedly: "The second prince should stop spewing blood. Why do I want to poison your majesty? It is clearly Pei Yue's arrogant ambition who wants to rebel!"

"fart!"

Liu Yun said angrily: "You, an old man, dare to talk nonsense. Pei Yue was a second-class prince in his weak years, and his father valued him so much. He would rebel because of his brain disease! It's obviously you, an old man.

I want to turn Xingliang Mansion into the foundation of Prince Duan Mansion, so I am colluding with Liu Zan, bah!"

Liu Zan shouted: "That's enough! Liu Yun, don't make false claims. I have never been in contact with the emperor's uncle! What evidence do you have to prove that the poisoning was done by the emperor's uncle? And what evidence do you have to prove that this was not the case?

What did Pei Yue do?"

Liu Yun sarcastically said: "I don't have it, do you have it?"

Liu praised: "Of course!"

He suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Pei Yue, gritted his teeth and said: "He is not of Dingguo blood at all, but a descendant of the Xian family of Chu State. Back then, Pei Yuan secretly took this person in after he rebelled against the Xian family, and then Pei Yuan

Zhen raised him. If not, how could Pei Rong regard him as an enemy? Even the bandits wanted to kill him? It is because of this traitor and traitor that the Pei family cannot re-enter the army! "

The place suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Pei Yue.

Pei Yue took two steps forward, raised his eyes to look at the ferocious-looking Liu Zan, and said slowly: "Is this the truth that Pei Yuan told you in his dream?"

Even in such a tense situation, some people still couldn't help but want to laugh. The shock caused by just hearing Liu Zan's words was relieved a lot.

Liu Zan felt a fishy smell rising in his throat.

Fortunately, he was not alone. Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng, stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, my daughter married Pei Rong of Dingguo. She knows these things very well. What His Highness King Yan said is true. Please think about it,

If Pei Yue hadn't been the Xian family

Descendants, why would Pei Rong be so harsh to a bastard? So that he could not feel at ease until he died? There is no need to say more about the past of the predecessors. After all, it is a secret in the pile of old papers, but future generations have to bear the consequences, so there are these

misfortune."

He paused and continued: "As far as I know, the maid named Taohua next to Pei Yue is from Zhou. This is ironclad evidence that he is connected with Southern Zhou!"

Liu Zan calmed down and immediately added: "Because he is a remnant of the Xian family, he will put aside his promising future and seize the opportunity to poison his father. He does not want to rebel at all, he just wants to use this method to cause civil strife in Daliang!"

"

It has to be said that the harmony between these two people is very powerful, especially since they are unable to elaborate in detail at this moment, which makes some people's hearts tilt towards Liu Zan.

Even if someone echoed: "Pei Yue wrote a poem called Su Muzhe in the name of that peach blossom. There is evidence in it that he loves the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

Pei Yue faced the scrutinizing eyes of those around him and said calmly: "King Yan is very eloquent and cooperates well with Li Bingzhong. This story is indeed ups and downs and fascinating. However, I also have a story. I wonder if King Yan dares to

One listen?”

Without waiting for Liu Zan's answer, he said loudly: "More than a month ago, I encountered an assassination on Yulong Street, and I was very interested in one of the masters. Later I found out that the so-called assassination was secretly instigated by King Yan, so I

I informed Mr. Shen of Taishitai Pavilion about my doubts. Unexpectedly, after Mr. Shen went back to investigate, he found that the master actually had a deep relationship with the Xian family back then."

"Thirty-six years ago, the Xian family was exterminated for treason. However, as one of the nine founding fathers of the country, the top noble family has an unknown number of members. Of course, it is impossible to kill them all. Many people survived. These people

Hiding in the capital, he waited for many years and finally waited for the opportunity to take advantage of King Yan's ambition and start planning big things."

"Master Shen, please help me prove it."

Pei Yue smiled and looked at the middle-aged man and dozens of Taige crows who appeared behind Ye Qi in the distance.

Everyone was shocked, and quickly turned their heads to look, only to see the silent cloud approaching quietly, with a look of frost on their faces.

He looked at the panic-stricken Liu Zan and said slowly: "What Pei Yue said is true."

Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang, quietly approached Liu Zan and whispered: "Your Highness, if you don't stop, you will suffer chaos!"

Liu Zan had already seen Luo Ting leading the courtiers he brought to Pei Yue, and some of the courtiers who were originally loyal to him also moved. With the appearance of the second prince and Shen Moyun, the situation has gradually become clearer.

At that time, his only chance was to use the military power in his hands to forcibly kill those who stood in front of him.

But how difficult is it to make this decision?

Look at the people next to Pei Yue, Wang Pingzhang, Han Gongduan, Luo Ting, Huang Rentai and Silent Cloud in the distance. These people are the pillars of the country. If they refuse to support Liu Zan, even if Liu Zan is ruthless and kills them all

If everyone is killed, can the imperial court still survive?

But if he doesn't do this, as soon as the Holy Emperor enters the palace and the court starts the normal investigation process, all his plans will be in vain, and his long-cherished wish to ascend to the throne will also be in vain.

Time passed little by little, and a suffocating atmosphere condensed in the air.

Liu Zan's eyes were red, he looked at Zhang Wu, gritted his teeth and said sternly: "The soldiers of the garrison division obey the order and kill these rebellious officials and traitors on the spot!"

"kill!"

Suddenly a burst of war drums sounded all around.

On the long street on the north side of the square, a group of elite infantrymen arrayed in an endless array, and the leader was none other than Hou Guliang of Guangping.

Liu Zan felt dizzy for a while. Although there were 30,000 garrison troops, there were only 5,000 near the north gate because he had to divide his troops to surround the Guangping Marquis Mansion and Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, and he also had to leave some troops in other places.

Garrison. Originally, these five thousand men were enough to deal with Pei Yue who entered the city alone, but he never expected that Gu Liang would conjure an elite infantry force out of thin air!

Pei Yue looked at Liu Zan, who was almost crazy, and said calmly: "Don't be surprised, these infantry are Wuding Guards, and the Wuding Guards outside the city are actually Pingnan Guards."

Liu Zan suddenly realized that he had once told the dead Duan Jiu in the palace that the whole thing was actually a conspiracy between him and Emperor Kaiping, with both sides hiding backhands and plans. However, Pei Yue was

After Emperor Kaiping decided to go to Xingliang Mansion to worship heaven, he spent the next seven days secretly breaking up the Wudingwei infantry and hiding them in the capital.
