After some conversation, Duke Wang was delighted.
He has also promised to marry Zhao Er to Nayan when the festival is over.
In the future, when Nayan ascends the throne, Zhao Er will be the queen.
It really fulfilled the hexagram occupied by the Xiangshi.
Zhao Er will accomplish his life!
In the next few days, Nayan's side was busy organizing the annual festival, while Pingyang Hou's side began to secretly plan a rebellion.
Rebellion must be done properly.
The Marquis of Pingyang summoned Li Qiao to plot in the house.
He explained: "There are ten days before the annual festival. You have to quickly replace the guards around the king and arrange our own people. It will be much more convenient to do things at that time."
Li Qiao said: "My son understands that it has been arranged in secret. It is easy to change a group of guards, but even if the king is seriously ill, people are still very awake, so as not to be detected, they can only take their time."
"Anyway, be careful, this opportunity must not be missed."
"Yes."
The Marquis of Pingyang said: "The most important point is that on the night of the New Year's Festival, the palace must be in chaos."
"In a mess?" "That night, the sacrificial altar must be brightly lit and fireworks are set off. You have to find a way to set it on fire in the middle of the annual festival. If a fire suddenly occurs, the sacrificial altar is bound to be in chaos. In the name of escort, the king was brought from the sacrificial platform to the same
To the hall, I will wait inside in advance, and the edict to abdicate and let the sages have been prepared. As long as the king affixes his seal and makes him sick again, it will be done. "The Marquis of Pingyang had a winning smile at the corner of his mouth.
It seems to have seen the great cause!
The plan is now detailed, and the forces are successful!
But Li Qiao still has a question: "How do you deal with the second prince?"
Pingyang Hou's eyes narrowed and he said, "I can't stay!"
"kill?"
"Since there is going to be chaos, let the situation be a little more chaotic. You should understand what to do."
Of course Li Qiao understands!
If there was a disorderly party in the previous dynasty on the night of the New Year's Festival, arson and murder, and if the second prince, Nayan, died, no one would be suspicious!
The Marquis of Pingyang looked at him, patted his arm, and said, "At this time, you must not have the kindness of women. Only by eradicating those who block us can we be above others."
Um
Li Qiao vaguely felt that there were other meanings in these words: "Being above people? Dad, what do you mean?" "Don't ask so many questions, in short, act according to the plan. Now the three kings have all his men and horses. The tune is under my control, and everything is under my control! And you, you must arrange for our troops to secretly arrive in Gaoding City as soon as possible, and wait until the New Year's Eve.
That night, when the city gate is closed again, at that time, all of our people will be in the city of Gaoding and the palace! "
"To close the gates, Ah Cheng's cooperation is needed."
"That's right! That's why Acheng was arranged to take over the city department at the beginning, wasn't it just to facilitate the army to enter the city today!"
but-
Li Qiaowei: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ah Cheng to convince him."
The Marquis of Pingyang said: "You don't have to convince him! Because of Shilin's affairs, he still has complaints against us, so we can't let him know about this matter, so as to avoid bad things!"
"Then what to do?"
"You have to find a way to let him hand over the real power of the city department to you for the time being."
Li Qiao understood.
He no longer wastes time, knowing that Li Cheng should be still in the city department at this time, so he went to look for him.
Marquis Pingyang sat on a chair with a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.
He took a sip of the hot tea in hand.
Feel the aroma of tea!
Sweet in the mouth.
Then put the teacup down.
The bottom of the cup was buckled on the table, making a crisp sound.
He said: "No one is willing to be a minister all his life!"
City Department.
Song Zhi couldn't get out of the Second Prince's Mansion, and Li Cheng had been looking for the whereabouts of Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu for the past few days.
But the guards at the city gate said they had never seen them leave the city.
Xiaoguan came to report again: "Master Li, Mr. Ji really didn't leave the city. If she did, we wouldn't know."
With helplessness!
Because before and after, it has been asked many times.
Li Cheng sat on the pear flower chair and leaned towards the table in front of him, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "So you're still in the city?"
"We also followed your instructions and searched all over the city, and went to all the major inns, but none of them were there. Even the house where they lived before, we went every few hours, but all no."
Just after finishing speaking, Li Cheng clapped the table: "It's impossible for good people to just disappear? You must have missed something."
"Sir, we have really looked for it carefully, you... don't make it difficult for us." Xiaoguan's voice became smaller and smaller.
Li Cheng stared at him.
I was very upset.
No matter how you think about it, you can't figure out where the white man went
Could it be... something happened
Thinking of this, he was worried.
At this time, there are people outside the door.
"Ah Cheng!"
Li Qiao is here.
He was dressed in an official uniform and was majestic.
Apparently it wasn't about personal matters.
The little official hurriedly saluted, "Master Li."
Li Qiao waved his hand: "You go out first."
"Yes."
Xiaoguan wanted to leave quickly, lest Li Cheng force himself to find people all over the city again.
If you can't find it, you will be scolded.
Li Cheng had a disagreement with Li Qiao because of Gong Shilin's affairs.
He turned around: "What are you doing?"
Then he threw the back of Li Qiao's head.
Li Qiao entered the door and said, "The New Year is approaching, you are responsible for the safety of the city, so I am here to remind you that you must increase the number of people at the city gate."
snort!
"Of course I know, I don't need your reminder."
"You've always been reckless in your work! It's uncertain. The second prince was attacked at the lantern festival before, and you knew it later. When I came here just now, I heard them say that you seem to be asking them to find someone. This is the city department. Not the Ministry!"
Li Cheng rolled his eyes, turned to look at Li Qiao with a serious face, and said, "Ming people don't talk secretly, you don't need to beat around the bush, what's the matter?"
In the end is the brother!
He could still sense what his elder brother was thinking. Li Qiao said directly: "New Year's Eve is also the annual festival in the palace, and I don't think there can be any problems, but look at you now, you are absent-minded all day, and you don't know what you are doing? No one cares about anything
If you can't wait, my father and I can't protect you either! I also don't want to watch you get into trouble, so it will be safer for me to send someone to watch the matter at the gate of Gaoding during this time, and return the real power to you after the New Year's Eve. "
Express your true purpose!
When Li Cheng heard this, he thought for a while.
But the person in front of him is his eldest brother, and it is impossible for him to harm him.
You should help yourself too!
What's more - he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Whatever, you can do whatever you want. I don't want to be this official anyway."
