Tento

One month after the sacrificial ceremony, some changes took place in the court of Tiandu.Ming Youchen no longer intervened in ordinary court affairs. Except for important military and political matters, he did not ask about the memorials of various places and ministers, and tacitly allowed the emperor to handle them alone.

The ministers of the court originally intended to watch the fire from the other side, intending to watch the emperor and the prime minister fight before the coming of the pro-government. Unexpectedly, Ming Youchen first took care of Liu Yan, the elder of the three dynasties who formed a party for personal gain, and then let the emperor handle part of the court affairs, as if sincerely for the emperor For the sake of.Everyone felt strange, wondering what was going on in the mind of this powerful Xiangguo.

Unconsciously, one month has passed, and tomorrow is the day when Ming Youchen leaves for Yulan Palace.The emperor, who is not in charge of the government, should say goodbye to the assistant ministers first. He thought that he had taken over some power from Ming Youchen in the past few days, but he had not gained the real power to command the three armies, so he was depressed but he couldn't express it.

Walking to Yehong Palace, Gu Deng saw the emperor was about to go in to report, Luan Tiance waved his hand to stop the little eunuch, and let all the followers stay outside the palace, and walked slowly through the bead curtain that Gu Deng and Shen Ye opened for him Pass.

The main hall of Yehong Palace is very spacious, and twelve seats covered with thick red silk brocade are arranged on the left and right under the high platform of the hall.There is still a long couch the same size as the Yehong Palace bedroom on the stage, and several memorials are placed on the table on the long couch.

Luan Tiance knew that this was the place where Ming Youchen received ministers after the imperial court.Seeing this palace that looked like a small imperial court, a trace of displeasure flashed across the young emperor's face.

However, when the emperor's eyes fell on Ming Youchen, who had fallen into a dream, he unconsciously became soft again.

Unlike the light sleep after drinking last time, Ming Youchen may be too tired at this moment, and seems to be sleeping deeply.Luan Tiance didn't hesitate in his steps, he quickly stood in front of the couch, his eyes fixed on Ming Youchen, whose eyes were lightly closed.

It is undeniable that the name Youchen in front of Luan Tiance is someone he has hated for many years and has been thinking about in his heart for many years for no reason.The young emperor couldn't tell whether he hated the famous Youchen more, or whether he thought about this person more absurdly.

The relationship between them seems to be peaceful, but under the smiling faces there are calculations and turbulent waves, and this is the first time that they have approached so peacefully like this moment.

Luan Tiance wanted to wake Ming Youchen up, but seeing that he was asleep in front of him and still held an open memorial in his hand, he retracted the words when he reached his mouth.He stared blankly at the unguarded and familiar face in front of him. He couldn't see the sharpness that was usually hidden under the gentleness. It looked a little strange, but it was more attractive to people's eyes.

The arm stretched out mysteriously, Luan Tiance didn't expect what he was going to do when he acted, until his fingers lightly touched Ming Youchen's left cheek, he suddenly realized it.

What is he doing?Such a move should never have been done to a man, let alone this man is named Youchen!

Luan Tiance's rationality was trying to persuade him to withdraw his hand quickly, but his hand slipped down slowly involuntarily.

Not long after, the emperor's thumb moved under Wuyouchen's nose, and his eyes fell on those two soft light red lips uncontrollably.

His fingers trembled slightly, just as Luan Tiance felt his heart palpitations, there was a gust of fist wind in front of him, and he had already received a solid blow on the face.

"Xiangguo, it's me." Luan Tiance covered his face and took a step back, crying out in pain.His martial arts are far superior to the weak Ming Youchen at this moment, but at the moment before, his mind was swaying and his mind was out of control, and Ming Youchen, who noticed something wrong in his sleep, hit him with a boxing instinct.

This is also retribution, right?Luan Tiance thought of the absurd things he did on the spur of the moment, he grinned and wanted to laugh, but the scars on his face made him grit his teeth again.But the emperor suddenly understood that Ming Youchen couldn't sleep well even in his dream, and he felt pity in his heart.

"Please forgive me for the crime of disrespect." Ming Youchen noticed someone before, and pulled out a dagger a few times, until now he realized that the person who was hit was Luan Tiance.

Ming Youchen was slightly suspicious, he loosened his hand holding the dagger, and the words of apology in his mouth were not half-sincere, but Luan Tiance was not as secretly unhappy as before.

The emperor waved his hand generously to show that he was not surprised, and turned a blind eye to the dagger that almost cut into the dragon's body.

"I saw a bug on Xiangguo's face, so I waved it away for you, but I didn't expect to alarm you." Meeting Ming Youchen's visiting gaze, Luan Tiance made up nonsense without blushing or panting.

"When the emperor comes in the future, please ask the palace people to deliver a report and let the ministers welcome the holy car." Seeing that Luan Tiance's words were insincere, Ming Youchen didn't say anything, but frowned slightly and said softly.

"Xiangguo, it's too out of character for you to say that. I regard you as an elder brother, and I should respect and respect you. As I said before, when you and I are alone, you don't have to pay attention to the vain etiquette of these monarchs and ministers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Ming Youchen said plainly, got up from the couch, and straightened his appearance.For some reason, seeing the way the emperor looked at him after getting drunk last time, he subconsciously didn't want to put on a casual gesture in front of Luan Tiance.

Luan Tiance rubbed his face and said with a smile: "Yulan Palace is a long way from the capital, and the journey is exhausting. Xiangguo Wanwang must take care of his health."

"I've made a note." Ming Youchen looked at Luan Tiance who couldn't get rid of the meaning of flying in his eyes, and said with a slight frown: "The important affairs of the government are extraordinary, please don't play tricks on your majesty."

"Of course I know this. Then I won't come to see you off tomorrow. Xiangguo will leave early and return early, so that he can survive. When I come back, I will lead a hundred officials out of the city to meet him."

"The minister is not a general who has returned from an expedition. The emperor does not need to mobilize the crowd and disturb the people."

"Since Xiangguo likes peace, I will follow what you say." Luan Tiance smiled, and he said some irrelevant gossip before leaving.

It was the first time that Ming Youchen, who had consciously grasped the other party's temperament, was very surprised by the emperor's unreasonable behavior.After concentrating on it for a while, Ming Youchen couldn't figure out the purpose of Luan Tiance's visit, so he gave up.

In the early morning of the next day, Ming Youchen took advantage of the emperor's early court and marched in the direction of Yulan Palace with his close servants and maids, as well as a large number of guards.

For half a month, the court affairs were held as scheduled. Luan Tiance had a clear mind, handled decisively and fairly, and successively implemented the preferential policies that Wen Yifeng came up with, which gradually established a certain prestige among the officials and the people in the capital. He was the little emperor who only liked to mess around.

Seeing that all the officials saw him for a day, their negligence disappeared, Luan Tiance felt happy, but he felt discouraged when he thought that the military power was not in his hands.

After the imperial court came down that day, Luan Tiance returned to Zixiao Palace, ordering Lin Fu to quickly summon Song Zhenshan and Wen Yifeng, and then ordered the gate of the palace to be closed.Taking Song and Wen to the inner hall of Zixiao Palace, the emperor waved his hand to signal Lin Fu to open the curtain on the inner wall, and a huge map showing the territory of Tiandu in detail appeared in front of everyone.

"Ming Youchen has been half a month away, and he will arrive at Yulan Palace in two days. If he doesn't act according to the original plan, I'm afraid something will happen. I plan to contact King Zhao immediately, and proceed according to the agreement I had with him. Luan Tiance looked at the map carefully for a while, and said to the people standing behind him.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao has already returned to the territory. If you act at this time, King Zhao will not be able to arrive in time and be known by Xiangguo..."

"Of course it will take time for King Zhao to take the usual road. If I allow him to lead the army through the official road used by the emperor, the whole army will rush forward, and it will only take about three days." Luan Tiance pointed to a route marked in dim colors on the ground circle, confidently Said.

"The emperor is very right. Let's take advantage of the absence of worry and dust to regain power. We must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Wen Yifeng said: "However, there are still risks in this move, and we must be fully prepared."

"Zhenshan, you take Zhen's sword and send an order to let the soldiers guarding the city open the official road and allow King Zhao to enter the capital."

"Your Majesty, King Zhao, can you trust him?"

"Before this, I reached an agreement with King Zhao. If this happens, he will be named King Qin, which is the highest title among princes. I also promised King Zhao that he will take care of the south. I don't think he should Refuse such generous terms."

"King Zhao's support for his troops will lead to disaster in the future." Song Zhenshan said worriedly.

"At this moment, let's deal with the famous family first, and I will regain the real power in the future, and then I will deal with my elder brother."

After Luan Tiance finished speaking, Song Zhenshan knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so he didn't dare to stay, so he quickly bowed to accept the order.

"The imperial guards in the palace were all promoted and placed by Youchen himself. Fortunately, some of them were trained by the king of Chu before entering the palace. If the emperor is really determined to adopt my dangerous plan, the king of Chu must show up in the capital " Wen Yifeng said in a deep voice.

"Even some people in King Zhao's army respect the fifth younger brother, so I must call the fifth younger brother back as soon as possible." Luan Tiance looked at Wen Yifeng when he said this, "Your personal servant can now announce him into the palace. .”

"As for the incident, it is necessary to prevent famous people from rebelling after hearing the news. Well, the emperor can first announce a decree, let famous people who are officials in the court enter the palace to meet them, and then detain them, and then surround them with soldiers trained by General Song privately for the emperor. Famous mansion, and then remove the posts of the collateral officials of the famous family, and appoint people personally promoted by the emperor. In this way, the situation in the court will not be chaotic."

"I think so too." Luan Tiance took out a roster from his sleeve, and said with a smile, "So I drew up a candidate for the officials in charge of the court. The Forbidden Army of the Imperial Palace, and then quickly seized all the gangsters of the famous family and revived the imperial court."

"Emperor Shengming."

"Lin Fu, there is no need to tell the queen mother about this beforehand, lest the news leak and worry her."

Lin Fu agreed, and couldn't hide his worry in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about the emperor. Although the imperial guards in this palace are famous people, they are courtiers after all, and they dare not blatantly kill the king and rebel. The emperor has people brought by Song Zhenshan by his side. King Zhao's army, when the time comes, the emperor only needs to climb up and shout, and the imperial guards in the palace will not dare to really make trouble."

Wen Yifeng glanced at Lin Fu, and said lightly, "Whether the emperor can regain power depends on it."

"You're right! I can't be under the control of others forever! The fifth brother and King Zhao can't leave their territory for too long, otherwise the south and the border will cause chaos, which will not be good for the court."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for worrying too much, my servant." Lin Fu, who was following Luan Tiance, said with interest, "My servant will go with Mr. Wen to lead his servant into the palace."

"Wait a minute, Lin Fu, have you withheld all the memorials that should be passed on to Ming Youchen?" Luan Tiance asked.

"The official who sent the memorial to Xiangguo's mansion was once honored by His Majesty's life. He withheld important military reports according to His Majesty's instructions and handed them over to his servants to transfer to Zixiao Palace. He only reported insignificant military and political affairs to Xiangguo every day. According to the reports from the spies, Xiangguo caught wind and cold on the way, and he is about to order the imperial doctor of Yulan Palace to prepare for his diagnosis and treatment."

"You guys have done a good job. Let Ming Youchen rest in peace in Yulan Palace first. I bet him this one! Who asked him to give me this chance at this time?" Luan Tiance looked at the sign marked on the wall. A sharp light flashed in the eyes of each city.

In a short time, Song Zhenshan returned to Zixiao Palace to report that everything had been ordered according to Luan Tiance's wishes.

The emperor nodded, and after discussing some important matters with his trusted courtiers, he carefully thought over every aspect of their plan from beginning to end, and waved everyone down to prepare when he felt that there were no loopholes.

"For now, I can only wait!"

When he walked out of Zixiao Palace again, Luan Tiance heard the morning bell, and he unconsciously raised his head to look at the sky full of morning stars, and murmured something.

Two days later, the emperor said that he was sick and would not go to court. This was the first time that Luan Tiance saw all the officials. The officials went to the empress dowager and the imperial doctor to inquire respectively.

The atmosphere in Zixiao Palace was very tense. Song Zhenshan and the guards he brought out were all wearing armor and holding weapons, waiting for foreign aid to station outside the city, Luan Tiance would lead his own soldiers to quickly eliminate the forces that famous masters had placed in the palace and court.

"Your Majesty, Xiangguo..."

Lin Fu's report outside the door made Song Zhenshan's face change slightly, and the hand holding the sword hilt couldn't help but tighten.Wen Yifeng saw that Luan Tiance's expression did not fluctuate, so he glared lightly at Song Zhenshan and Lin Fu, who was a little flustered, and walked into the palace gate to report, his gaze was actually narrow.

This little emperor is really calm!Wen Yifeng was a little confused, but he heard Luan Tiance asking what happened.

"Your Majesty, the spies just came to report that Xiangguo has arrived at Yulan Palace, and everything is under your control."

"Where are King Zhao's troops now?"

"Report from the front line, King Zhao's army is rushing day and night, and they will arrive in the capital at dusk."

"It seems that King Zhao will be able to return to King Jingqin soon."

"In my opinion, the emperor should..."

When Wen Yifeng said this, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace gate, he kept silent and looked at the gate of Zixiao Palace with everyone.

Luan Tiance heard the sound of chariots and weapons waving, and he knew that Song Zhenshan's people were all settled in the front and back of the palace, and they controlled the situation inside and outside Zixiao Palace.So at this time, the only person who can make the defenders outside face each other is the person who makes the emperor most guarded.

Looking up and following the eyes of everyone in the hall, Luan Tiance saw Ming Youchen with only a few servants and maidservants, who was calmly looking at the guards surrounding them with knives, axes, spears and spears.

"Could it be that the emperor thinks that King Zhao entered the palace early?" Ming Youchen looked at Luan Tiance who was dressed in military uniform with a calm expression, and said flatly.

"I see that Xiangguo is calm and calm, and his face is not affected by the wind and dust. You haven't left the capital, have you? Otherwise, how could you rush back from Yulan Palace in just two days? The person who was reported by the spies just now is in Yulan Palace. Should it be your substitute?" Luan Tiance was greatly surprised, and after a little thought he understood, "No wonder Xiangguo didn't let people see him off when he left, but it was to prevent people from seeing that it was your substitute who left."

Speaking of this, Luan Tiance's heart trembled. It seemed that Ming Youchen had known about his plan but kept it secret. Now that the other party suddenly appeared when the event was going to happen, what was his intention?

"I heard that the emperor ordered Zhao Wang to lead the army into Beijing from the official road used by the emperor. I don't know why?" Ming Youchen didn't answer the emperor's knowing question, he asked in a loud voice, not paying attention to the situation of being alone and alone at the moment .

"I have long been able to govern by myself, and I can handle important military and political affairs on my own. If everything is controlled by others, what kind of emperor is it? I see that Xiangguo's health is not as good as before. You should take off your burden early and go home to take care of yourself." Luan Tiance Talk about money, don't panic.

"So, the emperor decided to go against the last emperor's will, hoping to launch a war, and use military exploits to secure your throne?"

"Xiangguo doesn't need to say too much, I've made up my mind! Let's talk about the future." Luan Tiance waved his hand, "Zhenshan, let Xiangguo be a guest in Zixiao Palace for the time being, and watch carefully. Talk to him."

"Yes."

Watching Luan Tiance lead Wen Yifeng and the guards to the direction of the imperial city, Song Zhenshan watched as he stepped into the Zixiao Palace to order the lonely lamp to serve tea, and Ming Youchen, who seemed like the owner of this place, slowly pulled out the long sword from its sheath .

"General Song, do you want to kill me?" Ming Youchen asked softly, but he didn't care about the danger approaching him.

"Ming Xiangguo, you and I have no enmity, and Song also admires your ability. It's a pity that you will always be a threat to the emperor as long as you are in this world."

"I remember, the emperor didn't order you to kill me."

"That's the kindness of the emperor, but it's a pity that the general is dull and only does what is beneficial to the monarch." Song Zhenshan unsheathed his long sword, lowered his face, and walked quickly towards Ming Youchen.

Gu Deng and Shen Ye were in a hurry, their faces turned pale with fright, but they held hands and tremblingly stood in front of their master.

Ming Youchen was not in a panic, and said leisurely: "General Song, please go to the tower to have a look first, and then come back and kill me before it's too late."

"Isn't Xiangguo planning to slow down the army?"

"The general can kill me whenever he wants during the period when the emperor is in trouble."

Song Zhenshan hesitated, seeing that Ming Youchen was confident and confident, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.After weighing it, he put his sword back into its sheath, ordered the left and right sides to strictly guard Zixiao Palace, and then ran towards the tower where Luan Tiance was heading.

Shortly before arriving at the building, King Zhao's army appeared within the sight of the King of Tiandu.

"Goodbye King Zhao's actions were swift and fierce, and all the soldiers' weapons were unsheathed. This is different from the saying that King Zhao and the emperor agreed to march outside the city to show their solidarity." Wen Yifeng stood on the imperial wall and looked at it carefully. Looking at the approaching team, he quickly suggested: "Your Majesty, the king of Zhao came here with bad intentions, please close the city gates immediately and wait to see what happens."

"Close the city gate!" Luan Tiance didn't wait for Wen Yifeng to finish speaking, he also sensed something was wrong, and gave the order, with dark eyes in his eyes.

"King Zhao clearly agreed to the conditions proposed by His Majesty, that is already the supreme power among ministers!" Song Zhenshan said angrily.

"Zhenshan, you also said that King Zhao got the highest power among the ministers, so how can you feel good about being an emperor?" Luan Tiance shook his head, "I had expected that King Zhao would have a different heart, but he also knew that the fifth younger brother would be the emperor if necessary." Shi will lead the border troops back to the capital, and he should get rid of this rebellion!"

He didn't understand why Luan Songchun suddenly acted so boldly that he didn't take the fact that Luan Junhong had a large army in his eyes. Luan Tiance thought for a while, then turned to Song Zhenshan and said, "Go and bring Ming Youchen here, the matter must have something to do with him."

"My minister takes orders." Song Zhenshan didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly brought Ming Youchen to Luan Tiance, and Luan Songchun's army also came to the city at the same time.

"It turns out that the good elder brother of the emperor, who is deeply affectionate, is actually a rebellious minister with ulterior motives." Ming Youchen didn't mention Song Zhenshan's plan to kill him, he stood beside Luan Tiance, shaking his head and said.

After hearing the news, all the princes and ministers who came over saw the situation under the city, and all of them changed their faces.

"It seems that your lords still don't know why King Zhao approached the capital without knowing it. Your Majesty, why didn't you first listen to what your elder brother wants? Maybe you agreed to his request, and he led his troops back to the fief." went."

Ignoring Ming Youchen's sarcasm, Luan Tiance looked at Luan Songchun, who was at the head of the city, and said in a deep voice, "King Zhao, what do you mean? I want you to lead troops into the capital to strengthen the defense, but you are not allowed to attack the capital."

"Third brother, don't put on airs of the emperor anymore. If you didn't want to take back the power from Ming Youchen, how could this king get this heaven-sent opportunity?"

Luan Songchun laughed out loud, he saw Ming Youchen was also on the city wall, although this was unexpected, but the defenders in the capital are less than 20, and he has [-] troops in his hand, it will only take half a day to attack the imperial city and win the throne , so it is not as taboo as before.

When the officials heard this, although they didn't understand it, they also knew that the emperor had schemed against Xiangguo and suffered a secret loss. They dared not say anything, and they couldn't help showing blame and panic on their faces.

"Mr. Wen, where is your servant who is proficient in cooking now? Please let him come here quickly." Ming Youchen said, looking at the servant who was standing next to Wen Yifeng wearing a bamboo hat and keeping his head slightly lowered In front of him, he smiled lightly and said, "Why don't I know, when did the majestic King Chu, who holds the military power in the frontier, become someone else's servant?"

The man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a young and resolute face, with a handsome appearance, it was Luan Junhong, Luan Tiance's fifth younger brother.He was a little surprised that Ming Youchen saw through his identity, but he still calmly walked behind Luan Tiance.

"King Zhao, I advise you to give up your weapons and surrender very early! Maybe I can give you a lenient hand." Luan Tiance glanced at Luan Junhong who was standing next to him, breathed in and said loudly to the city: "You know that I have been on guard against you for a long time. Therefore, I specially ordered my fifth brother to go back first. When your army passes through the imperial official road, I also authorized my fifth younger brother's soldiers and horses to rush back from the border gate to the official road leading to the capital. In a short time, the reinforcements will arrive."

As soon as this remark came out, Wan Junhong took a step forward, stood upright beside the emperor and shouted loudly: "Your level masters make trouble, the heaven and the earth will not tolerate it! This king is one step ahead of the army, and rushes to the capital, and will never let you mess around! Rebellious officials! Thief, get off the horse and be bound! Do you want your own head and the lives of your family?"

When Luan Junhong was young, he followed the former emperor to fight against the rebels of the previous dynasty. Before he went to the border, he liked to hide his identity and play among the people. When he saw injustice, he would fight against injustice. He had great prestige in the hearts of the army and the people. Some people even called He joined the army because he admired the king of Chu.

Now, after hearing Luan Junhong's words, the soldiers under the city felt guilty when they saw the emperor and the king of Chu standing together majesticly and calmly.

In addition, some of the soldiers led by Luan Songchun were not willing to rebel, and some people who wanted to benefit from the rebellion were hesitant because they were afraid of ransacking their homes and destroying their families. Therefore, except for another part of the soldiers who desperately supported Luan Songchun, everyone else Looking at the emperor and the king of Chu, they started whispering.

Hearing what Luan Junhong said, all the officials on the imperial city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads again and again, only Ming Youchen's eyes became more sarcasm.

"There are four official roads used by the emperor, and it only takes a few days to rely on him to go to the four important military places in the east, south, west, and north. Third brother, you are a little tender after all, don't you doubt that since the king and fifth brother The soldiers and horses set off at the same time, so why didn't his troops come to rescue your royal driver at this time?" Luan Songchun was not surprised but smiled, "A man should make a contribution in the world, and if a great opportunity is in front of him, he dare not reach out and grab it live, then what face do you have to see the elders in your hometown?"

After he said this, the discussion behind him became quieter, and Luan Songchun glanced back with satisfaction, then turned around, seeing a carrier pigeon flying on Luan Junhong's arm, he couldn't help laughing.

"Fifth brother, don't say that I, the emperor, don't give you the last chance. Before I give the order to attack the city, not even a fly can fly out of your city, but this king specially allows you to receive news from outside the city. The news that came in, so that you can see the situation clearly, give up as soon as possible, and bow your head to me!"

Luan Junhong opened the small bamboo tube tied to the carrier pigeon's feet, took a look at the paper inside, and before he had time to present it to Luan Tiance, he slapped the wall and cursed, "Luan Songchun, you actually collude with the barbarians and let them attack the border at this time? Are you still The subjects of Tiandu?"

Luan Tiance's face finally changed. He took the battle report from Luan Junhong's hand and read it, gritting his teeth.

"If you don't have a complete plan, how can this king personally lead the troops to attack the capital?" Luan Songchun said with a smile: "Hu Yi sent troops to restrain the third younger brother's troops, so that they had to strictly guard their positions. This king just promised some of the Hu Yi people. Let them send troops to besiege the border with gold, silk, cattle and sheep, and use those things to exchange for this great country, of course it is a good thing with a lot of money!"

"Luan Songchun, you are also the eldest son of the father after all, how could you do such a rebellious thing?" Luan Tiance asked in a deep voice, "Do you know that colluding with Hu Yi is the biggest taboo in my heaven! The throne will be condemned by thousands of people in the future!"

"Father? This king thinks that he is old and confused. It's fine if he doesn't pass the throne to this king, the most respected prince. If the fifth younger brother succeeds to the throne, this king also thinks it makes sense, but father is passing the throne to you." This useless person! He was ignorant first, so why not take back what belongs to me now?"

In this way, the hesitation behind Luan Songchun was gradually eliminated, and the eyes of the officials on the imperial city wall were full of panic and worry again.Everyone turned their minds to look at Luan Tiance, seeing that the emperor kept calm but did not speak, they felt even more flustered.

"King Zhao, now you have the chance to win, and your prestige is tight." Ming Youchen, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened his mouth and said downwards: "However, it is justifiable that the prince intends to get the throne amidst the denunciation of all the people who cursed at you for forcing the king to commit crimes. Is it possible to get the abdicated throne from the emperor?"

"Mingxiangguo deserves to be a hero who understands current affairs. If you can persuade your third younger brother to surrender early, the king will allow you to continue to serve as prime minister, but you will only be deprived of the strength of your famous family." Luan Songchun smiled meaningfully, "Your Mingxiangguo's talent , this king really admires you so much! It would be a pity if this king abandons you when he faces south and north in the future."

"you……"

"My lord, please wait a night outside the city. I will give you a satisfactory answer when the sun rises tomorrow morning." Ming Youchen interrupted Luan Tiance's scolding. It calmed Luan Tiance's furious heart.

"Tomorrow morning?" Luan Songchun hesitated, he knew that Ming Youchen was the most intelligent in the world, and he had been jealous of him for a long time, now that Luan Tiance finally got the opportunity to suppress Ming Youchen to win the battle, he dared not relax.

"King Zhao, the scouts in your army must have told you that the border gates and the troops stationed by my famous family in various places will not be able to arrive within two or three days. Why not wait for one night to return to peace and become a great treasure?"

When Ming Youchen said this, he changed the topic lightly, "If you don't even give the current emperor this bit of face, and don't care about brotherhood, and usurp the throne of the monarch who has not committed any serious mistakes for no reason, I am afraid that the world will be full of people. You can't make up your mouth!"

"Okay! This king will wait for Xiangguo's good news at sunrise tomorrow morning. If the third brother still refuses to listen to Xiangguo's advice at that time, don't blame this king for being ruthless."

Luan Songchun waved his hand and ordered the whole army to encircle the imperial city and set up a camp, so as to cultivate and thrive, in order to march into the city tomorrow.

The officials on the wall were relieved to see that the situation was slightly under control. They surrounded Ming Youchen and asked about the best way to defeat the enemy.

"Don't be impatient for all the officials! Go quickly to appease the people, and order the people in the capital not to go out tonight, and to rest after dark with lights off. Tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, let the people of the city carry torches and the guards to go to the southwest and North wall."

"What is the explanation for this?"

"You have to prepare yourself. Whether you can keep the emperor safe and the country safe depends on this move."

Seeing that Ming Youchen spoke solemnly, everyone did not dare to hesitate, Song Zhenshan hurriedly led the worried ministers to the city to deliver orders and appease the people.

"Xiangguo, this matter is beyond my expectation. Please don't blame the king of Chu for returning to the capital in private. He sneaked back to the capital after receiving my edict."

"Your Majesty, we will talk about these things later. Please go back to the palace with Mr. Wen and the King of Chu right now." Ming Youchen flicked his sleeves, turned around and went down the city wall, got into a carriage and galloped towards the palace.

"It's useless to stay here now. The city guards are paying close attention to Luan Songchun's movements, and the others will follow me back to the palace." Luan Tiance had no choice but to act according to Youchen's words for the time being.

After returning to the palace, the queen mother panicked when she learned of the report, and hurried to Yehong Palace, bowed her head to Ming Youchen and pleaded guilty, "Xiangguo, the emperor is young, he must have been instigated by a traitor to be your enemy. Please look at the face of the former emperor, don't argue with the emperor, and help him put an end to the Chaos of King Zhao!"

"Don't worry, the queen mother. Although the emperor is ignorant, after all, he did not collude with Hu Yi like King Zhao did to destroy my heavenly capital, and I will do my best to keep the imperial city safe."

"That's good, I'm here to thank Xiangguo first." The Empress Dowager bowed to Ming Youchen and left with a thousand gratitude.

"If the emperor is really filial, the queen mother shouldn't be so worried." Ming Youchen looked at the direction where the queen mother disappeared and said softly.

His tone was still extremely gentle, but in Luan Tiance's ears, it was the bitterest irony.

"Xiangguo, let's talk about these things in the future, and now we have to find a way to transfer reinforcements as soon as possible." Luan Tiance asked with restraint.Up to now, he can only rely on the seemingly confident Ming Youchen to solve his urgent needs.

"I have no choice but to wait for the right time." Ming Youchen said flatly, "Your Majesty must know that man is the one who plans things, and Heaven will make things happen. If it wasn't for King Zhao's sudden betrayal, would the Emperor have detained the minister at this moment?"

Luan Tiance spoke nonchalantly, he turned his head to look at Luan Qingning and Luan Lingxuan who were standing behind him at some point, with a hint of worry flashing across his eyes.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I will keep you safe even if I die. If the reinforcements do not arrive tomorrow, please ask my brother to lead a troop out of the city to distract the rebels under the city. You and the rest of the royal family, as well as the courtiers who don't want to submit to the rebellion, escape through the back city gate." Luan Junhong suggested loudly.

"We will discuss this matter later, you go back to rest first, no one is allowed to lead troops out of the city without my order!" Luan Tiance said sharply, Luan Junhong had no choice but to retreat with the others.

"Mr. Wen also go to rest, I think the emperor has something to say to me." Ming Youchen said warmly to Wen Yifeng who was staring at Luan Qingning's back in a daze.

"That's kind, you gentlemen speak slowly." Responding casually, Wen Yifeng quickened his pace to catch up with the three members of the Luan royal family, just in time to meet Luan Qingning who slowed down and turned back. Can look at each other and smile lightly, and leave calmly together.
