"Lu Xiang, what do you mean?"
The speaker was also a minister with thousands of private soldiers in his hands.
Lu Zhongbo said in a deep voice, "we have been in the dynasty for many years, and we were in peace with the emperor. I didn't expect him to use us as fish on the chopping block. If this goes on, sooner or later, we will be like those adults who were robbed of their homes, our families will be destroyed, and our wives and daughters will be sent to brothels. What a shame? So I'm ready to... Seize the throne!"
"Lu Xiang, you mean... Rebellion!"
Some people have frightened eyes.
On weekdays, everyone is just corrupt. No matter how stupid the emperor is, they never think so.
After all, there are only a few thousand soldiers in our hands, so we really can't turn over the big waves.
"It's not rebellion." Lu Zhongbo shook his head slightly. "The Empress Dowager is my sister. How can I rebel?"
"What does Lu Xiang mean..."
"The late Emperor didn't have another son, Luo long."
Hearing the name Luo long, several ministers all looked strange.
Very simply, this Luo long was born to a palace maid after the emperor drank. With the status of Luo Long's mother, this Luo long is naturally not qualified to be an emperor.
Moreover, this Luo long is not a good thing. After the death of the former Emperor, he was canonized as a prince, which is just a idle job.
However, due to his high status and no lack of money, Luo long has become a complete dandy. It is said that he has a special hobby and likes young men.
This is no secret, and it is known by some ministers.
So hearing that Lu Zhongbo said that he would support Luo long to ascend, these people all felt strange.
But at the moment, this group of scholars did not object.
It's very simple. Compared with Wang Chong, they certainly think that if Luo long can be emperor, their life will be better, won't it?
At least, don't worry about being beheaded and sending your wife and daughter to brothels.
"Wait, do you have an opinion?"
LV Zhongbo looked at the people.
"Now the emperor is cruel and cruel to Zhongliang. I support Lu Xiang."
"Yes, I also support............."
"I... also support it."
What these people say is high sounding. In fact, it's not for the convenience of filling your own pockets?
Lu Zhongbo said, "well, in that case, tomorrow we will prepare private soldiers, wait at the green noon gate at night, follow me into the palace, and kill... Luo Zhao in the name of rescuing the Empress Dowager!"
The private soldiers of so many of them add up to 30000, and Wang Chong's imperial army is only 20000. As long as they enter the palace, the imperial army can't resist them.
What's more, he also has an insider inside.
During this period, although Wang Zhong removed a lot of eyeliner in the palace, he didn't let them take rash actions on several eyeliner, and was ready to use them when they were of great use.
Finally, he waited.
Tomorrow evening, one of the eyeliner will open the noon gate all night and let them into the palace.
After these people discussed, three of the ministers went out, their eyes changed, and then quietly took their servants to the palace.
………………
"Emperor, are you comfortable?"
In the Luan harem, Zhao Luan is waiting on Wang Chong to take a bath.
A few petals were floating in the bucket, and Zhao Luan, dressed in dirty clothes, was massaging Wang Zhong behind him.
Comfortable, so comfortable.
Wang Zhong closed his eyes and said faintly, "it's very comfortable, but queen, you've been working hard recently. Don't press it and have a rest early."
"It's not hard, my concubine. The emperor handles everything every day. It's hard."
Zhao Luan spoke softly, which made him crisp in his ears.
Just about to have a rest with Zhao Luan earlier, at this time, a eunuch at the door said, "emperor, the people of the East Hall brought Lord Xu here and said that there was something important to report."
"I know. Let them wait in the side room."
"Emperor, Lord Xu is not from the Lu party. Shen Geng came to the emperor in the middle of the night. I don't know why?" Zhao Luan is strange.
"It seems that my uncle is going to deal with me."
Lord Xu came, and Wang Zhong naturally knew what he meant when he came.
Lu Zhongbo doesn't know that he can put Eyeliner around Wang Chong. Can't Wang Chong?
At present, LV Zhongbo is his biggest enemy. If he doesn't put eyeliner in his house, he won't mix up for so many years.
A while ago, Wang Zhong gave Xie Jin the task of placing eyeliner in Lu Zhongbo's home.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhongbo was also very vigilant, and the servants never replaced casually, which caused no small trouble to Xie Jin.
However, it doesn't matter. After arresting a servant of LV Zhongbo's family who went out to buy vegetables, Xie Jin successfully plotted against the other party through coercion and inducement, and became his eyeliner.
Now as long as there is a big move in LV Zhongbo's family, this person will find a way to report it.
The method of reporting is also very simple. There were several vegetable sellers at the back door of the Lu family during this period. Just give them the information.
It is not enough for Wang Chong to do so alone.
Another way for him is to have a showdown with those ministers.
Wang Chong found several officials with greater power around LV Zhongbo and asked them to come to the inn one by one late at night.
As before, Wang Chong first threw out the evidence of their crimes, and then announced the confiscation of their homes.
These ministers were scared to urinate on the spot and repeatedly begged for mercy.
Then came the point.
Wang Zhong proposed to forgive them, but the premise was to inform LV Zhongbo of his treatment one by one.
If you don't tell me, then wait for the settlement after autumn.
In order not to let them have a fluke mentality, Wang Zhong also told them that there were several of his insiders. If he dared not report, he would wait for the settlement after autumn.
In this way, their last glimmer of luck was completely extinguished.
So after LV Zhongbo announced that he would deal with Wang Zhong, three ministers rushed to the palace overnight. The first to arrive was Lord Xu.
Wang Zhong casually dressed in civilian clothes and went to the side room.
"Wei Chen Xu Daming, kowtow to the emperor. If you disturb the emperor's rest so late, Wei Chen deserves to die. Please punish the emperor."
Xu Daming is also a smart man. Now he didn't dare to be bad hearted towards Wang Chong, because Wang Chong promised him that as long as he gave him the news of LV Zhongbo's rebellion, he would exempt him from punishment.
In this case, Xu Daming had no choice at all, because if he didn't do so, Wang Chong could deal with him in advance.
"Don't talk so much nonsense. Let's talk. Is there important news to see me so late?" Wang Zhong asked.
"There is great news, which is the important news of Lu Zhongbo's treacherous minister's rebellion."
Later, Xu Daming hurriedly told the news.
Wang Zhong sneered, "as I expected, Lu Xiang couldn't wait to abolish me and establish a new monarch."
"Your Majesty, LV Zhongbo is treacherous. There are 3000 private soldiers in the Weichen family, who are willing to help the emperor."
"Really?"
"Wei Chen, will go all out."
"Well, then your 3000 private soldiers will be in the other team, and listen to my order to fight back."
"Yes!"
"However, you must not think of playing tricks, otherwise, you will be skinned and filled with dung like Lu Pingying!"
Hearing this word, Xu Daming was scared and lowered his head: "even if Wei Chen is dead, he must complete the task assigned by the emperor."
"Well, go ahead. I should see some other ministers."
This is deliberately said to Xu Daming, just to let him know that I'm fine without you, and I have other insiders.
In this way, it can be regarded as letting him know his strength.
This is called bluffing.
Soon after Xu Daming left, two more ministers came, saying the same thing as Xu Daming, about the rebellion of LV Zhongbo.
At night the next day, Lu Zhongbo, who was already ready, took his men and horses to the green afternoon gate.
Before long, the green afternoon gate slowly opened, and a fat woman quietly walked out.
"Lu Xiangye." The woman said.
"Well, it's hard for you. When it's done, I'll give you a good reward."
This woman originally followed the Empress Dowager. Later, the Empress Dowager didn't think her work was easy, so she arranged to work in the kitchen.
But Lu Zhongbo didn't forget her. This time, he contacted her and asked her to secretly open the city gate.
Following the woman, there were two small eunuchs, all of whom were Eyeliner put by LV Zhongbo in the palace.
The city gate has been opened. As soon as the news came out, large troops who had been ready for a long time came from all directions.
"Lu Xiang, here we are."
"Lu Xiang, we are waiting to be dispatched."
Several ministers hurriedly stated their positions.
Xu Daming also came over. He said, "Lv Xiang, let's help you."
"Good, good."
Lu Zhongbo didn't know that several people here had betrayed him. At the moment, he was still immersed in the dream of abandoning Wang Chong and still living a good life in the future.
The gatekeeper here has long been solved, and after the team will be together, LV Zhongbo with people filed in.
What these people didn't see was that there were neat Imperial troops in the Jinluan hall and the harem.
Wang Zhong stood on the roof, looking at a group of mobs coming under the moonlight, showing a sneer.
After today, the court will never oppose him again.
He will completely control the court. The next step is to build the country.
"Lu Xiang, shall we go directly to the harem?" Xu Daming walked beside Lu Zhongbo and asked.
"Well, the emperor must be asleep at this time. According to the news I got recently, the emperor has been favoring the queen recently. We went to the Luan harem and caught her alive
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a huge roar in front of him.
"Drink!"
The neat imperial guards came in front of them, and everyone's faces changed greatly.
"Lu Xiang, what... What's going on?"
"No, the imperial guards only patrol more than 1000 people on weekdays. Why are so many people here this time?"
"Oh, these people are well prepared. We... We seem to be surrounded."
For a time, the people behind LV Zhongbo were a little confused.
What they are doing now is, after all, a rebellion. If this kind of thing fails, it will kill the nine clans.
At the thought of the fate of those ministers who had been ransacked before, these people all withdrew.
"Don't worry, there are many of us." Lu Zhongbo shouted, "the emperor is fatuous and incompetent now. The Empress Dowager is under house arrest. I'm under the order of the Empress Dowager to save her from water and fire, and you can leave quickly!"
"My good uncle, why didn't I listen to my mother and ask you to save her!"
