Just as Emperor Yang Guang and Yu Shiji secretly discussed the plan to deal with Li Yuan, Empress Xiao hurried outside the hall and said to several imperial doctors on duty: "The emperor is just a little ill. Now he is healthy. He is not allowed to go out to publicize randomly. Have you heard of it?"

Several imperial doctors quickly bowed and said, "Please rest assured by the Empress, we will never go out to talk nonsense!"

Everyone bowed and left, but Empress Xiao was still worried and asked to find Wei, the Sigong. △↗,.

Wei is a palace maid in his forties. He has served Yang Guang for nearly 30 years. He has gradually become the second real power person in the harem after Empress Xiao.

Wei's real power comes from the trust of the emperor Yang Guang. Since Yang Guang indulged in wine and sex, even Empress Xiao could not see him. All Yang Guang's daily life was replaced by Wei's. It was under the careful arrangement of Wei that Yang Guang lived a life of drunkenness and dreams for the past year, which made Empress Xiao hate Wei very much, but she was helpless.

Soon, the little eunuch who went to send the message came to report, "Report to the Empress, Wei Sigong said that she was unwell and could not come to see the Empress, so she could only apologize to the Empress another day!"

Queen Xiao was furious, "Young maid dares to be so rude, come here! Take this maid to me."

At this time, a palace maid quickly whispered to Queen Xiao. Queen Xiao was stunned and then asked in surprise: "Do you think it's true?"

The palace maid knelt down and said, "Everything that the maid said is true. The West Palace has spread a lot, but the emperor doesn't know it."

Empress Xiao fell into deep thought. The eunuch who was about to send the orders did not dare to send the orders to arrest people when they saw that the situation was wrong.

The palace maid told Empress Xiao that the Sikong Wei family and Yuwen Zhiji had a different relationship and had to see Yuwen Zhiji every night, which really shocked Empress Xiao.

This Wei family has no extraordinary appearance and is older. Yu Wen Zhiji cannot be greedy for her beauty. They must have another idea when they meet at night.

Queen Xiao stood up and wanted to report to the emperor secretly, but after another thought, the emperor trusted Wei very much. If she had no evidence, she would definitely not be able to win the Wei family, and would instead alert the enemy. It would be better to get the evidence first.

Thinking of this, Empress Xiao called a few confidant palace maids and whispered a few words to them.

………….

Although Empress Xiao ordered the news that the emperor was seriously ill was strictly blocked, the news that the emperor was seriously ill still spread like wildfire, and there were many discussions inside and outside the palace, and many people were extremely worried. It was an indisputable fact that the morale of the outside army was unstable. Now even the palace guards began to feel uneasy.

Before nightfall, a carriage slowly drove out of the inner palace and stopped in front of an official office. A woman in her palace dress in her forties walked out of the carriage with the support of several palace maids. She was Wei, the Sigong who held the power of the inner palace. Perhaps because of her age, Wei no longer had the beauty of her youth. She had thin body, high cheekbones on her face, and her eyes were as cold as an eagle. Judging from her appearance, she knew that she was not a good person. The eunuchs and palace maids in Jiangdu Palace were afraid of her.

She obviously had come to this office many times, and she didn't need to report it. She walked directly into the office. Yuwen Zhi and heard the news and greeted him, bowed and smiled, "Miss Wei is here."

When Wei saw Yuwen Zhiji, he smiled and no longer had the cold look he had just now. She held Yuwen Zhiji's hand and said sweetly: "How should the Second General thank me today?"

“Good news today?”

Wei nodded with a smile, "The news that satisfies the second general."

Yuwen Zhiji was overjoyed and hurriedly hugged her and walked towards the inner house. Half an hour later, Wei, who was full of spring on his face, drank tea while saying to Yuwen Zhiji: "The emperor's illness today is very common. He has angina pectoris. He fainted for a while, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the symptoms that Yi Zheng told me last time."

Yuwen Zhiji was so excited that he rubbed his hands. Their great achievements were about to be completed. He asked again: "What is the reaction in the palace?"

"Empress Xiao ordered the blockade of the message, but can the message be blocked? I have sent someone to spread the news, and I guess the whole Jiangdu will know tomorrow."

"Ah! Did you spread the news?" Yuwen Zhiji was stunned.

Wei's face immediately became gloomy. "Didn't you let me spread all the unfavorable news? Isn't that right?"

"There is nothing wrong, the girl did it right."

"Then you have to work harder next time."

Wei stood up and patted Yuwen Zhiji's face, threw a charming look at him, and her waist twisted and left. Yuwen Zhiji looked at her back as she walked away, feeling disgusted, but now he had no choice. Now he had something to ask for this woman.

"When the big thing is done, let a hundred men deal with you!" Yu Wen Zhiji gritted his teeth.

At this time, a subordinate hurried over and bowed to report: "The general has something urgent to look for!"

The general under his command was Yu Wen Zhiji's elder brother Yu Wen Wen Ji. Yu Wen Zhiji was about to discuss with his elder brother, but he quickly changed his clothes and hurried to the Western Military Camp.

Yu Wenji had gradually controlled 80,000 Xiaoguo Army. He used the excuse of the large-scale escape of the Xiaoguo Army to make Yang Guang believe his slander, dismissed Yun Dingxing's position as a general, transferred Yun Dingxing to the Minister of War, and Yu Wenji was promoted to the General of Zuotun Guard, and took over the power of the Xiaoguo Army.

At present, the 80,000 Xiaoguo Army is divided into two camps, east and west, stationed on the east and west sides of Jiangdu Palace. Yu Wenhe takes turns to live in the two camps, east and west, so that he can completely control the military power.

In the big tent, Yu Wenhe was paced back and forth with concern. He had just received two unfavorable information. One was that the military rations were consumed hugely, and the food in their warehouse could only be supported for half a month. The second news made him even more worried. There were rumors that a cavalry of ten thousand people appeared in Donghai County. Although the news was not known for its authenticity, it was enough to shock Yu Wenhe. He suddenly realized that he had no time.

At this time, a soldier outside the tent reported: "The second general is here!"

Yu Wenji nodded, "Let him in!"

After a moment, Yuwen Zhiji walked in excitedly and said with a smile: "Tell me a good news. Yizheng's medicine has already taken effect. Today, the foolish lord fainted. At most half a month, the foolish lord will die!"

Yu Wenji was not excited at all. He said worriedly: "Our plan may change and we can't wait for ten days."

Yuwen Zhiji was stunned, "Why?"

At this time, a soldier appeared in front of the tent and reported: "The Yuan Sheren is here."

"You called Yuanmin here too?" Yu Wen Zhiji was a little surprised.

Yu Wenji nodded and said to the soldier: "Please come in!"

Yuwen Zhiji suddenly felt that the problem was a bit serious, and he asked anxiously: "What happened?"

"It's hard to describe it, let's wait for Yuanmin to come and talk about it!"

Soon, Yuanmin quickly walked into the big tent, and he was a little surprised, "Huaji, what happened."

"Sit down first, I will tell you."

Yuanmin and Yuwen Zhiji looked at each other, and they sat down with confusion. Yu Wenji sighed and said slowly: "Two things, first of all, we have insufficient food and grass, and the grass is enough, but the food can only be supported for half a month."

Yuwen Zhiji immediately said anxiously: "Didn't you say you can support it for two months?"

"In two months, it included 100,000 shi of summer grain from the counties of Jianghuai, but Du Fuwei occupied the counties of Jianghuai, so the summer grain was gone, so"

"What about the food in Jiangdu County?"

Yuan Min asked in confusion: "Jiangdu County also has 30,000 shi of summer grain, which can at least solve the urgent problem."

"Don't forget Chen Ling's army. He took the initiative and took away the food from Jiangdu County."

Yu Wenyu cursed hatefully, and then said to the two: "Actually, the food problem is not very big. It really doesn't work. I can collect the grain on Jiangdu. I can still get 100,000 stones of grain. The key is the second thing, Zhang Xuan may be coming."

The news made the two jump up in shock, "Brother, what do you mean?" Yuwen Zhiji asked anxiously.

"I got news from a merchant that it is said that a cavalry appeared in Donghai County, with more than 10,000 people. I think it is impossible for the Wagang Army. Except for us and Zhang Xuan's Qingzhou Army, no one can have such a powerful cavalry."

"Is the news reliable?"

Yu Wenji shook his head, "That businessman also heard that he didn't see it with his own eyes, so I can only say that it is possible, but no matter what, we must plan the worst."

The three of them were silent. According to Yuanmin's plan, the emperor Yang Guang would die suddenly due to excessive drinking and sex. Then they supported Zhao Wang Yang Gao ascended the throne, and finally Yang Gao abdicated to Yu Wenhua and, but if it was really Zhang Xuan's army, their plan would not be implemented.

After a long time, Yuan Min said in a deep voice: "I just got the news this afternoon that the tyrant lord has officially conferred Zhang Xuan as the King of Qi, Shangzhu Kingdom and the General of the Cavalry. I am afraid that Zhang Xuan's arrival will be the secret order of the tyrant lord to come to protect the king. We have not had much time left."

Brother Yuwen no longer cares about what king Zhang Xuan is named. They only care about their own interests. At this time, Yuwen Zhiji gritted his teeth and said, "Just do it and kill the foolish lord directly, and don't give Zhang Xuan any chance."

This was actually Yu Wenji's idea, so he asked his brother and Yuanmin to discuss it. Yu Wenji looked at Yuanmin again, "What do you think, brother?"

Yuanmin felt that it was inappropriate. Zhang Xuan was not sure what purpose he was from, so he took the charge of regicide first. This was really a stupid decision. He pondered for a moment: "Have you considered the consequences?"

Yu Wenhe said coldly: "Since you want to do big things, you can't look back and forth. If I succeed, I will write the history books. If I fail, I will be commented on."

Since he had already said this, Yuanmin felt that there was no need to persuade him anymore. This was the choice of his brothers and had nothing to do with the Yuan family. He nodded, "Since that's the case, then do it!" (To be continued.)
